ADVISOR Mr. John U. Tate. CHAPKL CONDUCT *RUDE* The Chapel is St Mary’s best loved tradition. It binds all of us as we worship together. Week day and Sunday services offer a time for rehection and quietness in our busy schedules. Many girls do want to worship in our Chapel, but they are distracted by a few inconsiderate girls. This rudeness begins as girls enter Chapel talk- ing Ihey push and shove to get to their seats. When one enters a house of k^od, she should be quiet and act reverently. And before the service begins itatfng^'^'^ chatter disturbs those who are kneeling in prayer or med- Then the service begins, and the words of the hymns are mixed with conversation which continues through the entire service. This behavior is Tmirkv evn f punching each other and making pSlm a^rl r and rude. Then as the Another sign of disrespect is wearing just a headband or tinv bow to the Sunday services. We cover our heads in Church in reverence of God, so it certainly should not be too difficult to wear a hat. f L^^ inconsiderate things that go on in our Chapel With such little effort these things could be avoided. A girl does not h^rt anyone but herself and God when acting irreverent in Chapel. And if she N. M. J. Raleighite ‘Cannes Dame* A Raleigh native “came home” last week to sing one of her favorite operatic roles. Miss Marilyn Zschau, a former pupil of St. Mary’s voice teacher, Miss Geraldine Cate, appeared at Reynolds Coliseum with the Metro- ixilitan Opera National Company in their production of “Madame Butter- fly.” Singing her favorite role as Suzaki, Miss Zschau was honored after the opening night performance by Miss Cate with a dinner at her home. Miss Zschau also graduated from Carolina and the Julliard School of Music in New York. *tate opinions ON DRAFT CARD BURNERS By Louise Jennings Several groups of young Americans have recently protested the United States involvement in the war in Viet Nam by the symbolic burning of draft cards. These acts produced varied responses from St. Mary’s stu dents, and some of them are as fol lows; Pledges Initiated Diana I lodges and Martha I foot, class of 1965 St. Mary’s girls, recently were initiated into the East Carolina College chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma. Both are from Greenville. Pardee Henderson: “I think the girls can do a lot to make the boys see the responsibility they have to their country.” Margaret Stevens: “If all Ameri cans exhibited this type of patriotism, what a sad state of affairs the United States would be in.” Fleet Gregory; “I think it’s abso lutely ridiculous.” Meredith Maynard: “I think it should be left up to the men to vol unteer, and if they don’t have enough pride to defend their country, they should be drafted. The draft card burning is a disgrace.” Kate Johnson: “I think it’s undem ocratic. With all our young men over there fighting for us' we should do our part to support our nation’s poli cies.” Anne Harney; “I think it shows action before real thought—immed iate reaction without thought to the future.” Margie Bates: “I think it’s terrible, because I don’t think it shows any patriotism on the part of anyone especially the boys.” Marie Colton: “I think it’s un- American, and I think it’s a shame people aren’t as patriotic as thev once were.” Sally James: “I think the bovs are crazy.” Sherry Gill: “I think it’s terrible. The boys don’t have the right atti tude.” Th.ttn.derhall: A Spectacular Eetdoi In a news item in The Salemite, the student newspaper at Salem Col lege, in Winston-Salem, students who had four exams in a row were advised to see a certain woman to have the exams changed. Exams changed for any other reason were referred to the Dean. At St. Mary’s, five days of each semester are set aside for mid-term and hnal exams. However, each student does not have one exam a day, as might be expected from such a schedule. Although the testing period for exams here is shorter than that at most schools, if the exams were spread over the five days evenly, the burden on the students would not be quite so heavy. Yet, many students have all five exams within a three day period, with no break whatsoever between. In other words, they are tested during three days on what they have supposedly absorbed in a semester’s work. The rule stands now that no girl is to have her exams changed for anv reason, unless she has two scheduled for the same time period. With the pressure of having all five of her exams, one right after an- other, a student, even a good student, is understandably tense. This worried attitude IS often reflected in the caliber of work exhibited on her exams. Perhaps, consideration should be taken here at St. Mary’s, also of girls s'ched^l'"^ exams in a row and some change made in prospective exam Although exams would last over a longer period of time, the answer might very well lie in having additional days during which to administer exams. If St. Marys is to keep up with the academic progress of the times, this solution will probably be the eventual outcome as new courses are added to the curriculum.
