October 27,1993 Campus Opinion Editorial: The perfect angel by Karen Elrod and April Honeycutt OK,soit’smid-term.We’reall— um—experiencing the fwessure of a multitude of expectations (from fam ily, professors, ftiends, professors, ourselves, professors . . . ). In our half-crazed fit of {X’ocrastination, we’ve drawn up a Uttle sketeh of the “perfect” Meredith student to—er— inspire you to persevere (or to amuse you). Re-entry students and .com muters, we apologize for the dorm- dweller bias here, but we believe you’ll get a chuckle out of this too. Here goes... This “ideal” Meredith student is always calm, cool and collected— always under control; she is very professional. She is very diligent in her work. She easily studies unfil 2:00 a.m. every night and gets up at 7:00 a.m. every morning. However, somehow in between she manages to get eight hours of sleep. She always showers and puts on make-up before her 8:00 class (she never skips any of • her classes!). She always has her reading and homework done OQtime. She holds down a part-time job and, in her spare time, tutors for free. She’s a member of a foreign lan guage club, the psychology club, and three honor societies. Of course she is an ofOcer in at le^t two of those organizations. She attends all club meetings, class meetings, and con vocations. She is a hall council re[He- sentative and a fire marshal. She is a teaching fellow and an honors stu dent and (of course) is on the dean’s list every semester. During Cornhuskin’ week, she writes three papers, takes two tests, attends all practices, serves on a committee, and is a word. During the summer, she manages to find time to go to summer school, to travel abroad, and to work Meredith Herald Kriiitir in ChiiT 1 rm'v> KiiwU Nvdui hjliim Ratuies&fiior.

She owns all the Meredith sweatshirts/t-shirts. She walks every day and attends aerobics sessions three times a week. She is active in her church. Her room is always spot less. Last year she ran for SGA of fice. She regularly spends time with her suite and takes her little sisters out; she also has a steady boyfriend. She always has time to listen if a friend has a problem. She always remembers her friends’ birthdays and decorates their doors. She go^ home every weekend. She never stresses out. Good luck!! And remember... these are the best years of your life!! ■Letters to the Editor- I am writing to you in response to the September article, “Student Re port Qoses Case,” that was in an early edition of the Meredith Herald. I feel that Meredith should do more for its students than offer tips on how to protect themselves: they should offer self-defense as a physical edu cation course. Iplayedapersonalpartin Heather Norman’s experience; I picked her up on the Meredith mile right after she was attacked. I was very upset and also~scared by what happened to her, because I never imagined any thing of the kind would ever h^^n here at Meredith. When I entered the gates of Meredith I felt a sense of security, but much of that evaporated that night and even more since an other girl was attacked a week later. You never know what is lurking around the next dark comer, and that is why I feel that it is the duty of the college to at least make self-defense readily available to its students. If self-defense was offered as a class it would promote awareness to Meredith students about the impor tance of self-defense. In world where one out of every eight women in the United States will be a victim of rape (a statistic from the Medical Univer sity of South Carolina), Meredith needs to promote the safety of its students. As a student here at Meredith College I feel that one of the main goals of this institution Is to better prepare young women for the world that is ready and waiting, and self-defense is a tool that would em power a young woman in today’s world. Molly Shepherd ¥ BREAKFAST WITH THE PRESIDENT In an effort to strengthen communication between the Administration and Meredith students, President Weems is hosting a "Breakfast wtth the President" on Tuesday morning/ November 2. Any Meredith student who would enjoy a conversation with the President (and other administrators) is invited to call EXT: 8350 to reserve a place. To facilitate conversation, the breakfast group will be kept small, and reservations will be accepted on a "first come -first serve" basis so call today to reserve YOUR place!!
