Farmville continued its debate fe>rogram Saturday night, March 18. lin a debate with Lynchbug College jcn the cue 'ion. "Resolved, that the (United States should adopt a policy [of tariff for revenue only." The af|firmative side of the question was supported by Mirtha Gunter and |Virginia Hamilton, and the negative as supported by Hilda Kooltz and tene Wilson, of Lynchburg. Both [sides presented convincing arguments, but the arguments of the |Farmville team proved to be the lost convincing. Consequently I• annville won by a 2 to 1 vote. The debate teams of Farmville are I to be congratulated on the excellent work they have done. This makes the fifth success for the debate teams this session. All of the girls have worked hard under the able direction of Mr. Holton. as the number I of successes indicate. There will be only one more deIbate. which is scheduled with East Radford in the near future. Let's show the teams that we appreciate their work by our presence at the last debate.
The year 1934. the fiftieth anniversary of our College, is to be an outstanding year in the history of the institution. In keeping with the anniversary, "The Virginian" Is to be the largest and best ever put out by the students here and is to be ready for distribution on March 7 when the anniversary celebration Is to be held. This plan calls for immediate work on the new year book which cannot be begun without an editor-in-chief and a business manager. On Tuesday morning in chapel a motion was passed by the student body that a committee composed of faculty membeis and students appoint these two officers for the coming year. This is a temporary provision made to meet the present needs and not a permanent one to be used every yar. Other major officers will be elected as usual in the near future. The exact date of elections has not been determined as yet.

ELECTIONS A senior class, like all other classes in years before, worrying over their successors: a junior class just bubbling over with politics; a sophomore class just beginning to be conscious of the power they could wield if they would: a freshman class wondering if their votes are going to be counted the same as other classes, is the condition on the campus as once again the annual elections roll around. Regardless of the class of which she is a member, every student has two duties, and the responsibility of meet me. these duties rests upon her ShOUlden alone. The first is to cast her vote; the second is to cast that vote tor the most worthy candidate. Possibly the lanes' percentage of votes from each class will be cast by the junior class because they are the most concerned with the elections. However, it is the responsibilty of the seniors who have directed and led the Juniors in the various campus activities to do their part toward seeing I hat officers for next year are the ones best tilted for the positions. In many cases they are in the best position to Judge a student's ability, having worked with her during the pa.si three years. The sophomores and freshmen are to have minor campus officers chosen from their midst, whose work is just as necessary In its is pectacular way. These classes, too. will next year be among the students to be ruled, admonished to clean their rooms, and put across the campui projects. Nevertheless, there never has been an election held on the campus where the percent are of students voting have leached the 80 mark. Many tunes not as many as half the si udents voted, and it is only fair thai all the Students should have a share In electing their officers. il 01U voting facilities were inadequate, there would be an excuse for not voting. However, every effort
has been made in the past and is belli" made thia year to make the process of selecting the campus leaders for next year as easy as possible. All thai is asked of the voter is that she pause for two or three minutes to check the ballot that is already printed for her. as she passes through the post office lobby, doubtless the most frequented spot on the campus. Is that asking too much? In regard to the student's second duty, an admonition to let personal feelinga go and to choose according to the merit of the candidate, is trite but as necessary this year as any year in the past. Vision and character arc the prime requisites for a leader. The student who has the vision to look upon her office as an opportunity for service, and not as a personal honor conferred upon her, is the candidate that the voter should have the vision to elect. The vision seen, the character of the student must be there to fulfill it. It will take character to stand the criticism, the disappointment and the endless toil. which will all be part of accomplishing the vision. "More Voters; Better Leaders!" is our campaign cry.—The Spectator.
THE PRESIDENTIAL
APPEAL
1/} TRIBUTE TO THE TEACHER J. VV. Crahtree, Secretary National Education Association There will be no moratorium on education. A moratorium on education would mean a moratorium on lizatl ■■■■ This is one of the reasons why teachers will continue the nls. pay or no pay. The nation. It becomes aware of the sen and sacrifices of teachers and of the real significance of their courage and farsightedness, will show the appreciation that II has shown to its soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country. In the crisis of the seventies, I waunazed, as a boy, a; the sacrifices ide by the pioneer teacher of tn I lay. Since then, I have observed that •her in time of famine or in time I plenty, the teacher has lived not for self, but for the children and the community. I have noticed that the elfish man or woman seldom retina long In the profession. When the terrible days of the World War came upon us. who led n food consei ration? Who led in the lie of liberty bonds? Who led in colIccting food, clothing, and funds for .he Red Cross? Who kept the schools Din:;, whether funds were available ,i not? And what of the teachers of today? They are serving in a worse crisis than ever befoie. Their responbility is greater. Environment is more destructive In Its effect on children. The teacher-load is almost doubled. In spite of all this, the teacher is again leading in welfare activities. There may be a delay in pay—a month or six months—or the pay may be cut off for a year, yet the work cf the school goes on! Who is it that removes gloom from the lives of children who come from home.j filled with sorrow and suffering because of the depression? Who i> it that inspires children with courage and ambition? Who tenches them to look forward to better days? Who L> it that is saving civilization in these dark hours? All honor, therefore, to the teacher of 1933! Your courage and your devotion stand out as the safeguard of cur democracy and as the hope of the nation!
Regardless of the wisdom of the actions of the President within the last few days, there can be little doubt as to the revitalizing effect that they have had upon Washington and upon the nation at large. The dullness and lethargy of the last few months of the Hoover administration has disappeared before the driving force of the new regime, and the desire and longing of the nation for some sort of action, be it wise or foolish, to chase away the pall of fear, seems to have found complete fulfillment. The psychological effect of the change in the Washington scene has been immense. Not the least contributing factor to this change is in the new President's use of the radio. The use that he made of it Sunday night, and the results that he achieved in affecting the thought of the average citizen, probably marks a new high in presidential radio appeal. If Mr. Roosevelt continues to use it as effectiveMONKE Y BUSINESS ly as he has already, he will be greatly strengthened in the command that he has over Congress.—The Flat Exams are over, and spring is here.

INTE/{COLLEGIA TE A ycung lady at the Georgia State College for Women recently wrote an Associated Press article in which she stated the opinion of outstanding : cniors there concerning their ideal men. Her discoveries were interesting to say the least. The girls wanted their men to have incomes ranging from "enough to keep two alive'' to "well heeled". The physical requuements were just as varied. One wants her husband to be blond, a second required that he be able to play a musical instrument, another that he play bridge and tennis well. The problem is summed up best by the "most charming" girl who stated that all the above were quite superficial and that it was only necessary for her to love him. —The BracketyAck. Reporters of the Columbia Spectator, after questioning people on the streets, discovered that five out of six men think college students are loafeis.—The Ring-turn Phi.
By Helena Rubinstein Everything is done scientifically nowadays, but even yet there are good cooks who, when asked for a certain recipe, will say. "Oh., I just take a little of this, and a little of that" but to follow the directions is never easy. Ask the girl who has charm and she will say the same thing. "A little of this," she will tell you, "and a little of that." but the mixing—the turn of the wrist, the dash of piquancy that makes all the difference —ishe leaves to you. With charm there's no recipe. Tnere are many ingredients and every mixture is different. You have been told often that every girl must be her own type; that neatness and good grooming are more important that the color of the hair; that good looks, as we know them rowadays, are mostly a question of wanting and working. But that isn't quite enough I hear you say. What we want is charm—"little odds and ends of charm." How I would like to give to each special one of you. your own special recipe, but it can't be done. One thing I can tell you. though I've told you before. The most successful women I know are those who capitalize their own charming selves according to their own charming patterns. And—while I know you are tired of the trite old phrase about beauty coming from within, we can't discount the truth just because it happens to have on a stupid frock and there's truth in the time-worn phrase. There's charm in poise, in an eager, interested face, a ready smile, a pleasant voice, in kindliness and simplicity—spirtiual qualities, yes But they are part of the "this and that" qualities of charm that may be yours. Have you physical qualities that look like defeat? Look them straight in the eye with a wide open mind for in almost every case it is something you can befriend by the dressing of your hair, the colors you wear or the cosmetics you use. Is your skin dull and sallow? Spend more time on the campus, take more advantage of opportunities for exercise, outdoors and in. Every morning after a few minutes of setting-up exercises, apply a skin-clearing cream to face and neck and leave on while you bathe and dress. Pat on a toning lotion to close the pores and tone the skin. Do this every morning and watch your ikin grow clearer, your cheeks pinker, sallowness and sluggishness disappear as by magic. Next week. I'll tell you how to make the most of your outstanding features. For further Information about helps to little odds and ends of charm, write to Helena Rubinstein. 8 E. 57th Street. New York, N. Y.

Here it is at last -the most successful picture of the season! Against the colorful background of a state fair with its side-shows, its teaming crowds, the absorbing story of a middle-western family at the fair, the picture combines double lomance with grand comedy in an intimate story of human people. Janet Gaynor and Lew Ayres and Sally Eilers and Norman Foster take care of the double romance, and Will Rogers supplies the comedy. What a picture. Don't m1a the gieat of the season.
