BELLES OF ST. MARY’S January 21, k Wliilo soeiniiif? to pit their strength a^aiiiKt eacli other, YKC President Debbie Ellis and YDC President Margaret Stevens have decided to work together this year. YRC And YDC Working To^etker The Young Democrats Club and the Young Republicans Club, the two political organizations at St. Mary’s, have decided to have joint meetings for the remainder of the year. One reason for this decision is that this is not an election year, and therefore the girls can co-operate bet ter together. Another reason is that if the two are together, it will be easier to engage speakers. This year the two clubs want to place more emphasis on Communism because they feel that students should know more about it. History department has given much co-operation. Later in the year the clubs hope to have a tape with a man speaking who has lived behind the Iron Cur tain. There is a chance that there will be two speakers, one from the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation and a professor from either Duke or N. C. State. The first joint meeting was a thirty minute film on Communism. The next meeting will be on February 9 at 6:30 P.M. An hour and a half film on Communism will be shown then. The clubs are asking all of the teachers to give them support. The There are tentative plans for a joint Y.R.C.-Y.D.C. rally. If these plans are carried out, it will take place in the spring. Margaret Stevens and Debbie Ellis, presidents of the two clubs, have stated that they hope everyone will attend these meetings, since everyone is either a Republican or a Democrat—or a Communist. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE DANCE The annual Freshman-Sophomore dance will be held February 19 in the gym. This is a formal dance given by the Freshman class for the Sophomore class. Much hard work has gone into the preparation of the dance. The committees for it, with their chairmen and co-chairmen, are as follows: Music Committee has Sabra Alderman, the Freshman class dance marshal, as chairman and Karen Davis as co-chairman. Marty Brennan is chairman of the Invita tions Committee and Jody Friedberg is the co-chairman. Chairman of the Refreshmen Committee is Margaret Mighsmith while Ann Dickerson is co-chairman.

The Clean-up Committee is headed by Nancy Foreman and Jo Betts Bar rett is co-chairman. Jane Snider is chairman of the whole dance and Jan Wellons is the co-chairman. The Manhattans will entertain from eight to twelve. The theme of the dance is icxciting, colorful, and, also, a secret!!

Why not go to Europe and work for the summer? Impossible, you say? Well, here’s how it can be done with a minimum amount of effort and a lot of pleasure the outcome. One group, the American-Euro- pean Student Service helps students obtain jobs in the forests of Germany, on construction sites in Austria, on farms in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark, and on road construction in Norway. In addition, there are less taxing jobs available in Ireland, Switzer land, England, Erance, Italy, and Holland opened by the consent of these governments for American col lege students coming to Europe this next summer. The jobs include forestry work, child care work (female only), farm work, hotel work (limited number available), construction work and some other more qualified jobs re quiring more specialized training. The purpose of the American-Eu- ropean program is to afford the stu dent an opportunity to come into con tact with the people and customs of Europe. In return for her work, the student will receive her room and board, plus a wage. However, students should keep in mind that they will be working on the European economy and will naturally be scaled accorc Working conditions (hours, regulations, legal protection, etc be strictly supervised by the ministries in the countries in'’ Interested students should to American-European Studen vice.

CCUN MAKES SPRING PLANS The purpose of the Collegiate Council of the United Nations Club is to strive to create an awareness and appreciation for the United Nations. At the weekly club meetings the members discuss world affairs and events and activities of the United Nations. Special programs have been given on such topics as the Viet Nam crisis, the Israeli-Arab border d' and the Indonesian-Malasiaf* tion. The club members gave' sembly program in October ® United Nations. APPENDICITIS (Continued from Page 3) missed while she was in the hospital. There is another case on our cam pus that was unfortunate, but it has nothing to do with appendix-re movals. Ann Harney went home for Christmas which is very normal. But she lives in Milan, Italy! Soon after she had arrived home, she went snow skiing in Zermot, Switzerland. She was going down a hill just a little too fast, and she crashed. VVhen she did so, she broke her ankle. A nice Frenchman came to her aid, and he carefully placed her on his sleigh. He took her to a small tavern where all the people hovered around her (oh, she loved it!), and they gave her some hot chocolate for an ankle rem edy. Soon a horse-drawn sleigh took her to town for professional treat ment. Surely you have seen her “thumping” down the halls with that tremendous white shoe! (Yes, her new nickname is “Thumper.”) The shoe was especially made for her from sheep’s wool. Ann seems to think that a broken ankle is well- worth a trip to Switzerland to snow ski. Oh, by the way, Ann is Marty Mchane’s roommate. The club's main activity B ing a regional mock United i General Assembly, which ' held at Duke in February.
