She was features editor of the Sweet Briar News and won a national competition for the best feature writer in an American college. She was picked by TIME magazine to head “Choice ’68” at Sweet Briar — a project that ran mock presidential elections — and she was on the committee that overturned the antiquated social rules that governed student behavior off campus.
