SHANNON SMtTH Slatt Reporter Twice a month at Meredith College, ihe dormiiories are open, and it is legal for males to grace the halls with their pres ence; that is, as long as they fol low the regulations of signing in, and they are escorted by a stu dent at all times. Open House, commonly known as “Boy Day,” is quickly becoming a welcome uadition in the Meredith community. It grants Uie students an opportuni ty to have tlie boys come to tlieni, instead of tlieir going to the boys. Laura McAulay, a freshman at Meredith, was pleasantly sur prised with tlie Open House pro cedure. “The sign in process was a lot easier than I expected,” McAulay said. “This past Sunday, I invited my boyfriend, and I was sur prised at how simple it was to sign him in and out.” Some students feel tliat changes in tlie Open House poli cy are still necessary. Meredith Lynch claims, “Open House is a good idea.for Meredith, but improvejnents are needed. Because we are all adults, we are mature enough to decide when males should come in our rooms.” "When girls need help mov ing diings in and out of tlieir rooms, it is quite an ordeal to hunt down die RD on duty to get permission. This is why so many Meredith students are eager to move off campus,” said Lynch. Paula O'Briant, director of Residence Life, wiis pleased witii tlie Open House results from last semester. “Open House went extremely well,*' O’Briant said. “I have not heard of any major problems. “ “The staff has done a wonder ful job organizing tlie day and putting out infomiation. I hope everyone continues to enjoy Open House," O'Briam said. MDT combines dance and dialogue □ Movement and words join together to create this year’s Dance & Dialogue.

During tlie work shop, students explored tlie com bination of words and move ment and developed a twenty minute performance using “The Silence” by Anne Sexton. According to Kim Debus, stu dents endeavored to reflect both on their personal feelings and to demonstrate tlie group bond that was created in the workshop. Tlie program continued with a performance by Colwell-Waber. She performed a breaktlirough work by Liz Lerman that assigned a movement to every word. The text, “Journey,” by Peter Handke, was a tale of a human becoming self-aware.

Tlie duet included clips of popular music from 1970's. Choreographed by Glenda Mackie, tlie piece captured tlie innocence of a first time cross cultural encounter. A self-choreographed solo performance by Amy Chavasse used a story of a young naive woman. According lo Chavasse, she wrote the story herself “after hours alone in the studio trying to create something pretty for my dad.” She focused her attention on Uie fact that everyone has made mistakes tliey would radier keep hidden. “Cherry Pie,” choreographed by Noel Reiss, combined tlie text of an elderly aunt and a frustrat ed niece.
