TRUE CONFESSION OF R L . . . GIRL CRIMINAL
It’» lonely here in my cell this hot Saturday night in May. Alas, this
is the fate of a girl such as I who gets five reports for the atrocious
crimes of not going to meals and forgetting to sign in! But maybe “my
true story” will help me to ease my conscience if it can prevent some
young girl from erring as I did.
Some folks blame such behavior on the parents, but I CONFESS
that my parents gave me every opportunity to go the straight and
narrow path. The truth is .... I got in with the wrong crowd.
Campus-bird! What a terrible thing to have haunt you for the rest
of your life! My cell-mates, Flora Lee and Lois, have been discussing
with me the things that are happening on the “outside”. Flora Lee
tells me that Anne Girardot and Ken Davison got pinned last Friday
night.
Lois just sits and moans all the time about not getting to go home
for Mother’s Day,
Warden Muse brought us a Cluster this morning and we read in
"Socially Speaking” (now being written by Jim Meloney) that Ray
Crabtree and Lillian Collins are going steady. We read about the
“Bridie Murphy Come-as you are Party” that ia to be given by the
SAE’s and ATO’s next Friday night at Jonesco. There also is the news
that Tom Campbell and Rochelle Durham are pinned.
So while the Kappa Sigs are making merry at the “Black and
White Formal”, I sit in my cell and listen to the mournful two-song
duet from my cell-mates. Flora Lee ia singing “If I had the wings of
an angel, over these prison walls I would fly.’’ And Lois sadly croons,
“Send me a letter, send it by mail. Send it in care of Porter jail.”
MERCER OPINIONS
tti
ADPi's to Have
Bowery Ball"
The ADPi’s and their dates will
have a "Bowery Ball” tomorrow
at Ingleside Country Club.
Appropriate costumes will be
worn and dinner will be served.
by Marty Layfield
(The question that we asked this
week for our public opinion poll
was as follows:)
HOW MANY CHAPEL
PROGRAMS ARE YOU
IN FAVOR OF MERCER
HAVING EACH WEEK.
AND WHAT TYPE PRO
GRAM DO YOU THINK
BEST?
Jerry Walker—I think one chapel
program a week would be suffi
cient. Tuesday chapel would be
adequate for all announcements
and programs of interest to the
students. Even if this chapel were
extended in time, I believe it would
meet the satisfaction of the people
involved, namely the student body.
The chapel programs we have had
this year, that involved student
participation, have been the beat
by far. I think musical chapel pro
grams are the ones of more interest
to a larger segment of the student
body.
Bill Belmont—1 do not feel that
chapel should be compulsory. If we
hud one program a week which
would appeal to the interests of the
students, it would be well attended
und all involved would receive much
more from the program.
Helen Faulkner—I believe we
should have chapel two times a
week. I also believe a poll should
be taken of the student body to
find out the type of programs the
whole student body would like.
Programs in which students take
part are always well accepted.
C. C. Lynch, Jr.—I think the
present number Is all right. I Just
feel that the .programs should be of
highest quality and that atudenta
should have more consideration of
speakers.
Jimmy Jones—I think there
should be one compulsory chapel
program a week. There is no rea
son, however, why there could not
be more during the week for spedal
events and interesting speakers.
Marion Liles, Jr.—I think there
should be more chapel programs
along the lines of good cultural and
artistic entertainment. I favor at
least one compulsory chapel pro
gram each week.
Barbara Hodgea—Chapel pro
grams should be shorter and of
more variety and interest to the
students.
Francis Wiett—We should have
two chapel programs a week. One,
some type of student interest pro
gram, (announcements), two varied
intellectual programs and current
interests.
Bill Young—Chapel programs at
Mercer merit improvement Two
programs each week seem ade
quate in my estimation. One pi%-
gram should be centered around
student activities and cultural in
terest, while the other should be
of worshipful nature.
ROTC Band
To Entertain
The Mercer ROTC Band and sev
eral cadet officers will present a
program before the Rotary Club of
Macon this coming Monday. The
program will be similar to one
given in chapel earlier in the year,

an coordinator of the program and
will present the three speakers: Lt.
Col. Marion Liles, Lt. Col. Jerry

tion of drum-major M-Sgt. Arthur
Rich, Jr., will present a selection
of numbers composed of "America",

and Lee Swing”, and “Dixie”.
