The Angels have a 6-4 record this season and wili play their next home game on Jan. 31. New group programs Meredith by Arinn Dixon There is a relatively new organiza tion on the Meredith campus. Last year the presidents of the Meredith Recre ational Association, the Meredith Enter tainment Association, the Association of Black Awareness, and other program ming groups sat on the executive board of the Student Government Association (SGA). This year things changed a bit. Instead of being a part of SGA, the presi dents formed the Programming Board. Advised by Cheryl Jenkins, the Pro gramming Board tries to work toward quality programming at Meredith. “The board gives the leaders of the organiza tions on campus a chance to get to gether and collaborate on ideas,” Chair person Catherine Davis explained. “We look for ways to bring the whole campus together in such a way that will benefit the student body.” The board certainly does its share of woric. At the meetings each organization gives a report on how its particular pro grams are working. If one group is hav ing problems, the others will offer opinions and advice for improvement based on their own experiences. The leaders share their schedules of up coming events which keep programs of different groups from overiapping. One of the main goals of the new Programming Board is to plan events that will encourage students to stay on campus.” The big thing we are work ing on now has to do with the Open Houses for male visitation . We are trying to plan programs that will make students want to bring their guy friends to Meredith.” The big news now is that the Programming Board is holding elec tions for members during the campus wide elections which kick -off Febru ary 13 and continue on through the first week in March. To run for a posi tion on the board, the candidate must be a rising junior or knior and must have a grade point average of 2.25. BDH continued from page four is always something different, whether it be planning and preparing for spe cial events or creating new menu items. O’Briant says he is always open for suggestions from he students. “1 am not unapproachable. I am always willing to meet with students to get their ideas and input,” says O’Briant. When asked if he has any advice for Meredith students, O’Briant says, “Don’t be too occupied with what you are going to do when you graduate. Study, make good grades, but don’t be too concerned.” 'O’Briant tries to make what he does creative and fim for himself as well as for the people he serves in Belk Dining Hall. He said, “1 am always looking for new ways of doing things to relieve the day-tcKlay aspect of campus dining.”
