Miss Hardman
Taking New
Hollins’ Course
A student, Sarah Elizabeth
Hardman of Covington, will par
ticipate in the first short term of
independent study at Hollins Col
lege, Va. The short term is a
central feature of a new curri
culum launched in September at
the 960-student liberal arts col
lege for women.
Each student has chosen her
own topic for the one month (Jan.
10 - Feb. 7) period. Most fresh
men and sophomores have picked
subjects from a list of over 200
suggestions made by the faculty.
Juniors and seniors have devel
oped their own short term pro
jects.
Topics vary from studying sc
hool drop-outs to editing Civil
War letters for publication, con
ducting a computer study of high
and low notes in piano sonata
literature, cataloguing a private
art collection, and doing psych
ological research.
"The underlying theory,” said
Hollins Dean John P. Wheeler in
a Newsweek article, “is that stu
dents are going to spend most of
their lives finding out things on
their own. So we should spend
more of the four college years de
veloping tools for this indepen
dent study.”
While the great majority of
Hollins students will work on
campus, a number will live off
campus and a few will even go
abroad. For example, one student
will do research in Pakistan for
an economics project and several
will fly to Paris with Prof. Th
erese Von Essen for a study of
French drama.
Miss Hardman is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Seaborn Lanier
Hardman, 3190 Floyd St. Her
topic will be Computer Research,
using the computer at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute on Campus
and Blacksburg, Va.

Good Nutrition Is Important To Students
Good nutrition Is a vital fac
tor in promoting scholastic ex
cellence. A good diet may not
turn everyone into an Einstein,
but hunger pangs can make new
math or trigonometry harder to
comprehend.
As students and parents begin
to get into the routine of school
schedules, serious thought should
be given to food habits.
Breakfast is a must. It has
been several hours since the
dinner meal or even the late
evening snack. Habit is the key.
The breakfast routine should be
a matter-of-fact way of life for
the family. At one time not many
people would have skipped break
fast; now It seems many do just
that. So long as the majority
of the foods come from the Ba
sic Four Food Groups, It makes
little difference what foods make
up the breakfast meal. Eating a
breakfast which provides one
fourth to one-third of the daily
needs is a good rule-of-thumb
to follow.
Usually, week-day lunches are
not at-home meals. Those par
ents who want to be sure their
child eats a balanced lunch en
courage or actually insist on the
eating of the lunch provided by
the school food service. The
lunchroom provides students the
nutritionally balanced "Type A”
sembly, expressed by the committee,
that competitive bids be accepted for
rings and other related items,” said
Mr. Nix.
Information presented to the com
mittee by one company indicated many
schools are paying as much as $7 per
ring more than they should be. The
committee implied that some adminis-
lunch and it also strives to de
velop good eating habits by ser
ving wholesome foods in a va
riety of attractive and appetiz
ing forms. Lunches of the “A”
pattern must Include two ounches
of lean meat, fish, poultry or ch
esse or an equivalent quantity of
eggs, peanut butter, dry beans or
peas; three-fourths cup of two
or more vegetables and/or fruit;
two teaspoons of butter or for
tified margarine; one serving of
enriched or whole grain bread,
and one cup of fluid whole milk.
If at all possible, dinner sh
ould be a family meal. Even the
working wife without household
help can provide her family with
nutritions, attractive dinner
meals. Planning to make the
best use of time, money, and
equipment is the key. Surely
many things have to be done af
ter working hours, but put first
things first. Adequate meals for
the family should be of prime
importance.
Snacks, especially for the stu
dents, are a must. Snacks can
help round out the food Intake
for the day. Usually the easiest
to-find or fix foods will be cho
sen for snacks. Mothers who are
concerned with best meeting the
large food needs of growing child
ren and teen-agers make it a
point to keep a ready supply of
Thursday, January 18, 1968
nutritious snack foods. Fruit,
bread, cereal, meat and dairy
food items for snacks are a
must on the weekly shopping list.
Parents are very concerned
about their children’s education
and material needs and the im
portance of a balanced diet sh
ould not be underestimated. An
abundance of food does not ne
cessarily assure an adequate
diet. Parents can help set the
stage for the development of good
food habits. —By Rita Waters,

operative Extension Service,

trators might be receiving kickbacks

Superintendent Nix told the com
mittee that, to his knowledge, no kick
backs were being received. He said he
would recommend to superintendents

be initiated against any official partici
pating in such activity.
