Rambler die American Motors Means More for Amerkeama Harriel Futi By Regina Galgano th Born In Florence ou ta Harriette Morehead, the petite th e senior who brightens the senior spotlight this week, was born in d Florence, S. C. where she spent all hc n of six weeks before moving to Co- th n lumbia. Here she stayed until her kc d family moved to Newberry when st she was in the third grade. It was th here that Harriette finished her m grammar and high school career before entering the University. Harriette is a member of Alpha is Kappa Gamma, and is one of the Is few people who have been tapped d for this honorary in their sopho r more year. She is also a member of Chi Omega Sorority and serves as its representative to Pan Hel. AKG is one of Harriette's fav orite activities. One of the reasons ;y that she enjoys it so much is that 't Miss Clotworthy works with the girls, and promotes better under 9, standing between the students and r the Deans. 3s In connection with AKG, Harri )r ette has attended numerous con a ventions. Some of these have been f held at Erskine, Charleston and n the University. She reported that in at one of them, they gave the girls a, a Halloween party, and everyone e reverted back into childhood and Ad bobbed for apples. "On the con vention to Charleston, Miss Clot a, worthy went wtih us, and told us is about her numerous experiences. Everyone really enjoyed that con r, vention. In fact, I don't think that there's an AKG convention that I - haven't enjoyed." Numerous Activities Harriette has also worked on the Garnet and Black staff. Last year she served as an editor of the annual. She is also a member of Eu- tf phros, Student Council, Newman ri Club, and Press Club. She also al has served as a committee member for I. F. Week. A history major, Harriette is q u i t e interested in historical tl books. After graduation in June, ai she plans to teach Eleventh grade r( history at Eau Claire High ny School.

One of the funniest things that irriette has experienced hap ned only a couple of years ago. so happened that she went to y an evening dress for a special n c e. Well, the sales girl ought out a frilly white dress ith a big red and white polka it sash. With the friendliness of 1 sales girls, she smiled at H1ar ette and said, "For your first Drehead mnee, I bet." Then there was the time in arriette's freshman year, that ke woke up late for class and ent bounding into the class with r retainer on. "It was so horri e, and I couldn't say anything to ie professor because I had that )rrible hunk of steel in my outh."

Recently Harriette got pinned to Skip Swearinger, who is a mem ber of Kappa Alpha fraternity, and a student in Law School. It seems that Harriette has quite a suite-mate. One night she drove Harriette and her roommate insane with eyes. Eyes, that's right. She cut out every pair of eyes she could find in magazines and placed them in strategically located places, such as on the mirror, the desk and the head board of the bed. Everywhere that Harriette looked there was a pair of eyes staring her in the face. Then there was the night that her suite-mate whistled all night and kept everyone awake. Interesting Summer Jobs Harriette has had some inter esting summer jobs that have taken her to different parts of the United States. Last summer she worked as a camp counselor at a camp in New Hampshire. One of the other activities that helped Harriette get elected to Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities was being an Orientation Counselor. Among Harriette's favorite pro fessors are Dr. Cullen, Dr. Ochs, and Dean Clotworthy. She holds these people in very high esteem and thinks that their services have not only been beneficial to the University, but have helped make it a better place. Hello, Mrs. Butler Have you heard Harriette tell about the time that she was on a convention for the Children of the Confederacy, and someone con vinced her that one of the women there was Mrs. Rhett Butler. Har riette laughs about this now, but at the time - quite a few years ago - it wasn't so funny, because she walked up to the woman and entered into a conversation with her about her life. Harriette didn't find out until later that the woman was not Mrs. Rhett But ler, "but she could have been." She was kind of old, and at that age I thought she looked like she could have been Mrs. Rhett Butler. I almost died when I found out that she wasn't." Harriette has traveled quite a bit around the United States. One of her more interesting trips took her to Washington to President Kennedy's inauguration. Harriette has had quite a few LTER )ES IT! D~ CHARCOAL INNER FILTER 7LER vton other exciting experiences too. T;ake, for instance, the time that she and her roommate climbed out a window aid onto a roof to escape Momie unwanted pursuers. lairriette is quite talented, not only does she play the organ but the piano as well. Meets Skip Harriette is also quite interested in journalism, and before she de cided upon history as a major, she thought quite seriously about journalism. Harriette and Skip met in a way which seems usual around here. Seems they were good friends, and double dated with each other quite often, but, once upon a time something happened and instead of double dating, they dated. Then, one weekend Skip went home with Ilarriette. Seems he loved her mother's shrimp creole. So ends Harriette's life at the University, and next fall she onters into the esteemed profes sion of teacheis, but before we finish this interview we must say that Harriette has been quite an asset to the University of South Carolina. With this we shall let Iarriette go, and wish her lots of luck with her eleventh grade next year. Harriette, we hope that you find no more Mrs. Rhett Butlers in your life and that during the re mainder of your college career, you are late to no more classes. Size No Handicap To Excellence "Size is no handicap to excel lence," say the state and land grant universities. In spite of the sharp challenge in recent years to improve the quality of education in the face of increasing enrollments, these in stitutions have demonstrated that size has strengthened their com petence, according to a statement entitled "Quality and Equality," just issued on behalf of 94 of these institutions. To emphasize their conviction that "the quality of instruction de pends on the quality of teaching, not on the size of an institution," many examples are cited to demonstrate the advantages of large institutions. Among them: * State and land-grant Uni versities not only employ schol ars and teachers; they train them for other colleges. They grant more than half of all doc toral degrees. *The atmosphere of research, well-equipped libraries and lab oratories found on large cam puses meet the needs of stu dents from their freshman year through post-doctorate study. * Figures from 53 state and land-grant Universities show how more than 96,000 freshmen who entered the fall of 1959 ranked in their high school graduating classes. Over 22% were in the top 10%; over 45% were in the top quarter; and over 79% were in the top half. L. a r g e Universities are flexible enough to offer both remedial work in fields where students are weak and special programs for superior students. The statement, published by the JIoint Office of Institutional Re search, Washington, D.C., con cludes that size has strengthened the competence of these institu tions to attain excellence "by en larging the range of opportunity to dliscover and develop individual ab,ility -- to encourage and inspire eacIh studi(ent to his highest possi ble level (If intellectual achieve mient.''
