This committee consists of Dr. Clara Bunn and Dr. Deborah Smith from the biology department and Dr. Reginald Shiftlett from the chemistry department. The number of Meredith students applying to medical and dental school has increased each year. Eighty percent of Meredith students who apply to medical school are ac cepted, a rate of acceptance higher than the national average, which is one out of every two applicants. Meredith graduates have en rolled in medical programs at Bow man Gray School of Medicine, Medi cal College of Virginia, the UNC- CH School of Medicine, and the School of Medicine at East Carolina Staley lecturer speaks on hymnology I by Frances Pate I guess I haven’t ever stopped to read the lyrics of hymns very carefully, but after hearing Jane Parker Huber’s lec ture Monday morning, I may do Justthat.

She has worked in these areas and has worked to replace the traditional biased hymns with more new hymns for the contempo rary church. Her hymns are set to the same old familiar tunes and are full of very colorful, expressive language. In her hymns she writes of the struggles and hopes ofall the people who sing them and strives to be in clusive of everyone. She is striving to “express contemporary ideas in new ways.” As a women’s college she said we should be aware of the language used around us and know that it is constantly changing. We should make sure it changes to show sensi tivity towards us. Look for Huber’s work in the latest editions of many hymnals. most influential person in their first week at Meredith was, and nine out Df ten will no doubt claim that it was Jieir student advisor.
