SMJC GIRLS SCATTER ON WEEKEND
AS BIG SECOND SEMESTER BEGINS
By Susan Crabtree
One can always tell when second
semester arri^'es; girls begin spending
less and less time at St. IVIary s. More
week ends means more trips, and for
some reason et'cryone chooses Spring
time to splurge into never never land.
Alice Tripp took her treasured
senior long to Yale in New Haven,
Connecticut. After getting an early
start on Thursday, she took advan
tage of everything that Winter Prom
had to offer.
There were no quiet nights stand
ing around the juke-box at Yale. Fri
day she heard Cy Zetner and the
Chiffons, Saturday she went to a
polo game, and Saturday night Buffie
St. Marie entertained at one of the
Yale clubs.
All four days Alice was wishing
she were back at St. Mary’s study
ing.
Sally King's ultimate im]nession
of the University of Georgia in
Athens was that “it really seemed
like college.” Since her trip there last
week end for an interview, Sally
feels convinced that she wants to
transfer to Georgia.
As the old saying goes, “Girls go
for boys in uniform.” Liz Douglas
and Jeannie Hanson flew to New
York for Navy week end at West
Point. Even if they did stay at the
Colonel’s house, both of them agree
it was one of their best week ends
this year.
Liz and Tennessee attended many
of the athletic events in the after
noon and took in a party Saturday
night.
Jodee Groner went to Vanderbilt
in Nashville, Tennessee, for Triad
week end. The fraternity parties were
fun, she says, hut she also enjoyed
staying in the “Velvet Cloak-like
dormitory.

and particularly the new officers, will
start now to take their responsibility
and privilege of helping to regulate
student conduct by turning in peti
tions now which can change rules
for next year. And it is sincerely
hoped that they will continue work
next year in order to make the
legislative body a real force on cam
pus, thus making the S.G.A. a more
meaningful organization.
CCUN Conducts
Assembly Progrann
St. Mary’s Auditorium was trans
formed into the chambers of the
United Nations Generaf Assembly,
and students were ambassadors from
the nations belonging to the U.N. on
February 24 in Assembly. Members
of the Collegiate Council for the
LInited Nations at St. Mary’s present
ed the program, recounting their trip
to Duke to attend the model United
Nations General Assembly. The
president of the C.C.U.N., Nancy
Johnson, presided as the Secretary-
General.
During the program, the delegate
from Albania (Ann Lashley) pre
sented a resolution concerning the
admission of the Peoples’ Republic
of China to the United Nations. Al
bania was supported by Denmark
(Louise Jennings) and U.S.S.R.
(Joan Wickham). "The United States
(Ruth Little) and Chinese (Mary
Mac Hancock) delegates took firm
stands against this resolution.
During the meeting, the delegates
had to act “in character”. The ambas
sador from the U.S.S.R. fulfilled her
role quite well by objecting to the
reading of “telegrams” from United
States’ officials, an obvious slight. So
she presented one from her nation’s
officials. Albania also acted “in char
acter” by celebrating with picture
posting during the speech by the
United States. Meanwhile, Fidel
Castro (Jody Burton) honored the
Assembly with his (or rather her)
presence.
Other nations represented were.
Belgium, Bulgaria, Cuba, Czecho-
slavakia, Dahomey, France, India,
Japan, Jamaica, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Spain, Turkey,
United Arab Republic, and United
Kingdom. Two sjx;cial delegates
were Australia (Frances Breeden)
and Italy, represented by a “first
hand” Italian, Anne Harney.
After discussion of the question at
hand, a roll call vote was taken.
Dahomey (Debbie Ellis) explained
her abstaining vote was due to a

Girls, Are We Slipping?!?
By Molly Richardson
I lave you ever thought of the
number of times St. Mary’s girls have
trudged up the steps of Middle
Smedes which lead from the parlor?
Oh, there have been millions of
times. But have you ever thought of
how many times BOYS have made
the ascent? Probably not.

certainly vouch for the excitement
lound in going far away just once in
a while.
Mrs. Fraatier Is
New Spanish Teacher
There are few at St. Mary’s who
know the new teacher Mrs. Frazier
except those taking one of her Span
ish courses. She is a small, youthful
brunette who could be mistaken for
a student. Mrs. Frazier received an
AB degree at Sullins College in Vir
ginia. She worked on her AB at
LINC and is now working on her
MAT at Duke. A MAT is a master
of arts degree in teaching. Mrs.
Frazier who is now living in Hen
derson just married eight months ago.
Mrs. Frazier was originally in
terested in the Arts. It was only after
spending seven years in Mexico that
she became interested in the Spanish
culture and language. She believes
that the language is only a means by
which a jx;rson can learn of the im
portant, the culture of the country.
Mrs. Frazier’s special interests other
than her work are dancing, music,
and .swimming.
change in her government, following
a revolution two weeks ago. She had
not been briefed on any new foreign
jxilicy.
When the final vote was announc
ed by the Secretary General, as be
ing a tie and thus failing to pass, the
Communist delegations angrily
marched out of the Assembly.
It was hoped that members of the
C.C.Ll.N. represent St. Mary’s at
the national model United Nations
General Assembly to be sponsored bv
Yale University and to be held in
New York City. At this Assembly,
the delegates from colleges and uni
versities all over the country' would
meet together. They would attend
meetings at the United Nations and
also meet the real ambassadors from
in all, it was a traumatic waV;^
school year to begin.
It is now March 11, 1966, and
there has not been one attempt all
year. What can be wrong? Is there
more sobriety among the St. Mary’s
dates or have those dear, old stejrs
become less challenging? From what
the old girls say, we are definitely
missing something, if we have not
seen a boy on our hall!
In the past, there have been num
erous occurrences at St. Maty’s which
have caused the girls to become a bit
excited. Four years ago, on the very
first night of school, two boys entered
our “hallowed halls” to pay a brief
visit. They went on Second East
and hid in a girl’s closet. They wait
ed and waited. Soon, they had to pre
sent themselves . . . causing a great
deal of uproar. The reaction to their
coming was mixed. The old girls
thought it was exciting; the New
Girls thought it was appalling that
boys could be on girls’ balls. It cer-
tainlv was not in tbe handbook! All
