Within two weeks from the last day of work, these proofs will be returned to the staff and from the staff referred to students for approval. After the proofs have been checked. Mr. Kruger will be back at the college for at least one day, at which time any student, who did not have a sitting due to absence from school or any other reason, may have one. If there are any such students, they may get more definite information from Virginia Brinkley, photographic editor. Everybody likes to receive photographs for Christmas presents—and likes to give them, too. For the con.enience of the students, the Virginian staff will handle such orders for J. P. Bell Studio, who guarantees that all photographs ordered will be ready before Christmas holidays begin. This studio does beautiful work at reasonable prices, in fact, quite a bit lower than some. Wait until you see the samples sent from this studio before giving orders to any other.

Rev. Edward N. Calisch spoke in chapel October 25 and 26 and at prayers October 25. Since this is world-fellowship week, his talks were on world-fellowship. Each talk was a unit of the whole. The first one was "An Introduction;" the second, "The Problem"; and the third, "The Solution." Dr. Calisch in his talks showed that science and the Bible were collateral in opinion as to the origin of man. Government, territory and language separate people and nations, but these barriers can be crossed by a broad knowledge. One needs to know one another and nations better in order to bring about world fellowship. "You cannot hate a person, if you know him." In addition. Tuesday night, Dr. Calish hel da discussion in the Student Building lounge during which he answered and discussed questions asked by those present. This outstanding speaker was here under the auspices of the World-Fellowship Committee: Dr. Wamlsley, adviser, and Margaret Jack, chairman.
Governor R)sevelt Winner In Stiw Ballot Held at the College Roosevelt won a dt.ve victory at the polls of S. T. C. 1 week receiving 395 of the 519 v« cast in our straw vote. Hoover, wever, came in for quite a numbei votes as 104 girls cast their ballot favor of his continuing to ride tliorse across the stream for they ink it would be dangerous to chann the middle. Socialists are here i:ur midst for Norman Thomas haO loyal supporters in our studei)ody. The head table diiced S. T. C. by voting almost sol' Republican.
Hoover received nine of the ten votes, the other one going for Roosevelt. Table thirty-one divided their votes giving Roosevelt five, Thomas three, and Hoover, two. These figures were counterbalanced by a large number of loyal Democrats who voted the straight Democratic ticket. While very few S. T. C. girls will vote in the presidential election, they represent the feeling of all parts of the state. It is not suprising. then to find that Virginia is standing loyal this fall and is in no danger of bolting her party again.
The Ruffner Literary Society invites all freshmen and upperclassmeii to try-out for membership into the society. Try-outs will be held from November 1-14, and all papers may be put in Margaret Hix's senior mail box. Any original poem, essay, play, or story may be submitted. This year the programs will consist of contributions of Virginia to American literature. Girls from different parts of the state will discuss the literature that represents their section of the state. Don't be bashful, freshmen, hand in your articles. You might be surprised to find how much literary value they contain.
DR. J ARM AN ATTENDS METHODIST CONFERENCE The 150th annual Virginia Methodist conference met at Centenary Methodist church, Richmond, Va., last week beginning Friday and ending Monday, October 25. The conference disposed of many reports, named a new presiding elder for the Portsmouth-Newport News district, and announced more than 50 pastoral changes. The conference was a great success. netting much work done of a useful and beneficial nature.
MISS JENNIE TAllR HAS RESTFUL VACATION Leaving behind clicking typewriters and noisy girls. Miss Jennie Tabb. S. T, C. registrar, sought quiet and lest on her annual vacation from October 7 to October 21. Miss Tabb spent her vacation with Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Irving at Amelia Court House, a small rural village about thirty miles from here. The quiet call of the village was evidently iter for Miss Tabb than the call of the mountains of seashore. The student body welcomes Miss Tabb back in their midst and is very glad she had such a delightful vacation.

The Rotunda invite.-, letters of comment, criticism, and suggestions from Its readers upon its manner of pre entlng and treating them. A letter, to receive consideration, must contain the name and address of the writer. These will not be published if the writer objects to the publication. All matters of business should be addressed to the Business Manager, and all other matters should come to the Editor-in-Chief. Complaints from subscribers as regards Irregularities in (he delivery of The Rotunda, will be appreciated.
These Advertisers Perhaps the old student publication war cry is becoming more than a little trite. "Tationize our advertisers" may be losing its force and only serving to bore you readers but the expression is still one of vital importance and we implore our subscribers not, to overlook it. The greater part of the expense of publishing this paper is covered by the sale of advertising space. It is therefore simple to see to what extent the college newspaper must depend upon the support of advertisers. The biggest argument the advertising manager has to meet is the all too common protest of "Why advertise? The students will buy anywhere, and the ad will only l»e a donation on my part with an unsatisfactory return." The students themselves are responsible lor this attitude because too many of them do fail to consider the ads in the college paper when they do their buying. It has been alleged to us that in the very town of Due West, the very place where we should receive the greatest support of all, that one of the business men declared he received as much student trade if not more than any other man in his line and yet had not given any advertising to any of the student publications in years. We plead and insist that every Erskine student take note of this before it is too late, and your publications are forced to be done away with because they cannot find sufficient support among advertisers to meet expenses. Keep watch in our columns as to who gives us the best support, and patronize our advertisers for a mutual benefit.—J. Mc. 1).
Value of the Depression Very few students realize that the present depression is a great opportunity to time who wish to make it so. College students are beginning to think for themselves. They are developing the art of good management. If times were prosperous they would, no doubt, miss this great opportunity. The hardships which we are undergoing should be considered valuable rather than a plague. Students do not squander their nickels and dimes foolishly now. The young people who make the most of circumstances today will be leading the country in future yean —K. K.

OBLIVION
Recently D l)ondthaler expressed his views upon studying en Sunday. whM as coming from a man known to be broadminded and shJre, cannot be disregarded. He was not dogmatic, and he vJ not ultra-conservative. As a Christian gentleman he simply Jted a commandment of God and his own interpretation of itlapplied to students. Should colie students study on the Sabbath day? At present it is a itomary practice to prepare Monday's assignments on Sundjl afternoon, and perhaps the reasons for the custom are logal. The objections to S mday study were so well founded on trih that they ought to be considered with deep thought. Everjgfrl should arrive at some decision for it is a serious matter. What are }tr views on Sunday study? Custom can be broken if the peoploiio practice it make an effort to break it. Rather than to print ie personal opinions of the editorial staff, the Salemite prefsjto be the voice of the student body. The Open Forum is at yu| service.—The Salemite.

DREAMS
Have you ever followed a deer trail Leading you know not where And felt your troubles float behind you Into the crystal air? It instills the wanderlust, A light feeling, free from care. This sense comes only to privileged ones, It's a joyous feeling—but rare.
MISSING YOU I miss you when shadows lengthen And night begins to fall, I miss you when twilight deepens And silence covers all. I look intently at every face. Each one that I meet in the street. Hoping and watching always For a glimpse of your smile so sweet. The days grow longer and longer. The months stretch on into years, I miss you more with the passing hours And my eyes are filled with tears. I miss your hand-clasp so tender; And in every thing I do, Always my heart is longing Just for the sight of you.
