March 1,1995 6 Campus Extras MEA entertains and excites Meredith students by Clarity Lucas Studeats had, Bdk Qining Halh rockin’ and rollin’ with Carolina Karaoke last week. Meredith Entertainment Associa tion held an indoor picnic for students on Wednesday night that was a huge success. “It looked like everyone was hav- ingablast,” said Katherine Davis, Presi dent of MEA. Everyone chowed down on the potato bar and other goodies selected by MEA and then worked off the calo ries by dancing and singing popular tunes. Jamie Morris and Sara Flowers, the CoChairs for the picnic, are two of the 25 members of MEA. Each is respon sible to chair an activity during the school year. “The chairs did a wonderful job as they have done with every picnic they have put on this year,” said Davis. There is a lot to look forward to m the coming months. MEA is having Grab-A-Date/Friend at the Ice Hotise in Cary on Thursday, March 2 from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The cost is $8 per couple or $4 for singles when you bring your camcard. The club is al^ sponsoring a foc- ulty volleyball game where the differ ent departments play against each other and students participate.

With each year , MEA adds some thing new to every event to make it better. It takes alMut three years to have an event really take off the ground, said Davis. Fall Fest, that took place in September, has expanded to include two bands, games, rides, and food. It takes about a month to plan an activity but the bigger events like Fall Fest and the White Iris Ball require at least two months of preparation. Communication is very important within the organization. It is really important to give members incentive and motivation so there is a sense of unity, said Davis. In August the members go on a beach retreat to brainstorm and get to know one another before they begin to plan activities. The club also went to the Cary Ropes Course to focus on team build ing. “It was nice to see the group closer and more tight-knit,” said Davis. The purpose of MEA is to provide fun, entertainment, and social interac tion for students and faculty at Meredith College by providing on campus and off campus activities with a majority of the events being free. A, Members of MEA are required to work one hour per week in he bal loon gallery, attend meetings every Friday at 10 a.m. for brainstorming and planning events, and participate in every event. “Everyone at Meredith is a mem ber of MEA and is free to attend all meetings at anytime to provide input and new ideas for Meredith College,” said Davis. The current issues of change that has been facing Meredith College in the past few weeks has made an inv pact on MEA. “I really feel positive about the changes taking place at Meredith. In stead of being three separate groups — the trustees, faculty, staff and stu dents—we are beginning to break down barriers and communicate bet ter with each other so the change on campus will be successful to all people. We are working on getting the feculty and President more in volved in the events. President Weems has expressed an interest in becom ing involved,” said Davis. Presently MEA needs help with their publicity, anyone interested in becoming involved can call Katherine (7982) or Heather (7840). “We always remember to have a good time. Never forget to have a gpod time,” said Davis.
