Kappa Delta Pi's chief aim for the year is to get a better understanding of Latin American peoples by studying their ways of thinking, behavior, and customs, Mary Moore McCorkle. president, stated. With this idea. Kappa Delta Pi plans to sponsor a Library Project called "Personal Library Building'' to encourage students to begin a collection of books, or to enlarge upon the one already started. This program is expected to be launched during National Education Week. The programs for the rest of the year are to be given by students, faculty members, and probably outside speakers. Beorc Eh Thorn. English Honor Society, had its first program meeting last Thursday. This was the beginning of a series of literary studies, which the program committee has planned in order to stimulate creative efforts on the part of Beorc Eh Thorn members. Alice Nichols discussed the topic "What the War has Done to Books and Vice Versa." Elizabeth Ann Jordan reviewed Under Cover by John Ray Carlson, in connection with this theme. The Society is looking forward to the December meeting, when the program topic will be. "What the War has Done to Books and Publishing." Dr. Leroy Merritt will present "The Views of a Librarian." The January program will be concerned with the life and works of Robert Frost, who will be brought to the campus by Beorc Eh Thorn on February 2. Later programs will include a moving picture and awarding of higher membership degrees to students for their original writings. Miss Elizabeth Eggleston, Hampden-Sydney, recognized as one of our Virginia poets, will read some of her poetry to the group at the April meeting. The final program will be based on the Pulitzer Prize Winners for this year.

Music Broadcast Possible Chance Dr. T. Tertius Noble, organist and choir master emeritus of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. New York City, wil direct a major oratoria work on this campus some time in April, Mr. Alfred Strick. head of the department of music revealed to the press this week. Participating in the oratorio, which will be either Dvorak, "Stabet Mater" or Brahms "Requime" will be the Farmville choir and the choirs from the University of North Carolina and Duke University. In addition, plans are in the making to have a full symphony on■hestra on the campus at this time. Manning Tittman Soloists Dr. Noble will, while at Farmville. give an organ recital and speak to the various chora! groups as well as conduct the oratorio, Mr. Strick said. Soloists for the concert will probably be Miss Florence Manning, who sang with the Choir in New York last spring, and Major C. T. Tittman, a well known oratorio singer. Network Willing to Broadcast Further plans for the concert, the tentative date of which is April 16. include prospects for an International broadcast. This much can be said now," Mr. Strick reported in connection with such a broadcast, "the networks are interested and willing, but not definite commitment can be made until 30 days prior to the performance." Dr. Noble, former organist of the New Minister Cathedral in Yorkshire, England, Is known internationally and at present is director of the St. Thomas choir school, the members of which form probably the largest church choir in the country. Known to Mr. Strick in England, Dr. Noble directed the nationwide broadcast of the "Requiem" by the Duke and S. T. C. choirs from New York last spring. Other tentative choir plans for the year include a concert at Chapel Hill. N. C. on Palm Sunday and a concert tour of eastern Canada.

Calling All Little Women on Campus To Become Big in Character and Work This is an editorial written for the Little Women on the Campus. It's written for your roommate Who's worrying about her social life, and the girl across the hall who never steps out of her room until dinner time. It's a plea to these Little People to stop dawdling and start working—now— for a world in which the Little Woman will count. The other people (Little People too. who :nv riveting and driving street cars and flying bombers over enemy territory) are going to look to the college graduates of today and tomorrow to lead the way in establishing a New World for the Common Peoplethe average man, if you wish. And they're going to call on you, LWOC, as well as the campus leaders, to account lor the four years you spent in college while the rest of the People were in there fighting. In other words, we're going to be on trial, and there will be two charges brought against us. We have to prove that 1) we're worth the four-year lease on life we're being given, and that 2) the Little Woman is worth fighting for. Thee's more to a college education than text books and lectures. There's more to it than coke dates and juke boxes. There's a third angle—an angle that some of us learned the hard way back in high school and prep school. It's the side of life which means doing without dinner or getting along on a cup of coffee once in a while when there's a meeting to attend, a show to put on, a Poli Sci test in the morning, or a six-page theme due in the afternoon. It's the side of life which means really working long hours, sacrificing some momentary pleasure, getting down to the things that count, giving a lot and expecting little. But don't kid yourself, LWOC, it's the zip in the zombie, the lemon in the coke,—all right, we'll use a bromide, it's the spark of life. But it's the kind of stuff

the Little Women of the Underground in Germany and France and the hills of Yugoslavia are made of. It's something Americans used to have before somebody decided "that the most outstanding thing about Youth is its cynicism." And listen, Little Gal, that small phrase has covered a multitude of sin. We've been avoiding the word "activities" because it's been thrown at you so often. It's the same kind of word as selfdiscipline, will power, and enthusiasm. It's one of those "read men and turn the page quick" words. But if college students can't have unpleasant words thrown at them, then college students are things of the past —the Paleozoic age of isolationist fossils who were afraid to think. The world is tired of straddlers. It's had its fill of hesitaters and mental stutterers. It's sounding a challenge to the Little Woman,—especially the Little Woman on Campus to roll up her sleeves and get to work.—Daily Orange. "Editor's note: This editorial is reprinted from the columns of the DAILY ORANGE, publication of Syracuse University. It comes to the ROTUNDA via the BULLETT. publication of Mary Washington College.)
To Student Government: Sincere Appreciation Last week's experiment with studentrun Longwood proved very successful. And much credit is due to those who undertook to initiate the project. At present there is a suggestion on hand that some time in the near future a Longwood Association be organized with a head to be elected by the student body or appointed by the president of student government to take charge of keeping Longwood open as long as there can be no regular matron there. To student government goes the praise of these columns for relieving the telephone situation by the addition of bulletin boards, for their action on informal dress for Lyceums, for the privilege of juniors dating in the junior parlors, and last, but not least, for reopening Longwood.

The Seeing Eye This is your STC "sees all. hears all, tells most of it" reporter going to press with the week's most notable happenings. First of all, we want to welcome back all the good girls that we miss so much this year. Wish there were more Cotillions—that seemed to be the attraction! Orchids go to Twitch Ellett and Shirley Pierce for making sure the dance was a success. And weren't we all partial to M. Higglns' date—we'd like to see more of that twosome. P.

Also go a few brickbats to those girls who glare when broken at a dance . ■ , Our congrats go out to Lucille Lewis, her committee, and the goats for an excellent Job of decorating the gym. Is it just a rumor or really true that Mildred Corvin and the "Bobby Dick" are once more hitting it off after a brief separation?

Be Ingenious -- Turn Leisure Hours Into Ch ristmas Gifts The clicking of knitting needlesis becomiii as familiar as the strains of "Pistol Packin' Mama" —everywhere balls of wool and knitting bags and directions and chatter about knit two—purl two —Which "shows to go you" this venerable hobby is no lonser confined to old maids with rocking chairs and cats. S. T. C.'ers are turning out their own sweaters and socks in record time. When the days get nippier, mittens will appear in the process of production. Knitting baby sweaters is a BTOT/ing fad for aunts or "I have to give her a present-ers". Don't be amazed if you see tiny pink and white garments scattered around. Magazines are full of knitting and crocheting Christmas suggestions—Anything from hats to table mats can be supplied by nimble fingers using inexpensive materials. Wartime Christmas should, we all realize, be economizing ones. What better way than a make-them-yourself project! Join the Knitters. . . . But there are manners for knitting as there are for everything else. First and foremostly, remember that knitting in chapel is like knitting in church. If you must walk and knit at the same time, better apply for a seeing eye dog. It isn't exactly polite to knit in a class though there are some teachers who do not object seriously to it. Put yourself in the teachers shoes. How would you feel if your class had their minds on kbit two, purl two instead of on the fall of the Roman empire? When exam time rolls around, a few notes on the subject will make you much more comfortable than a new red cardigan. So, if you're ingenious, invest in needles, wool and a direction book, (don't take anyone's word for it> and turn your rainy afternoons and leisure hours, though not from class periods and chapel days, into sweaters and socks and Christmas gifts

The people around here are getting tired of being talked about in connection with a Horse Column, so we'll devote this week to the horses, almost exclusively. The Jump, which has been parked in the middle of the ring for the past week or so. may have a rather beat-up look about it, but it sure produces effects. Whether the jumpers be veterans like Lindy and Keepaway. or beginners like Nellie and Flicka. they all are limited to the one hurdle, instead of the four at Longwood, and they all look good "from the window." Nellie and Flicka are just being schooled, they thus far do little more than step over, but Lindy and Keepaway go tearing over the top at three feet and above, and thus far this year hr.ve scored a few tips, but not a single knockdown yet! Back at tiie stables are still two more jumpers, both out of condition at present. Pegasus is lame, and can't even be ridden for two or three more weeks, and Flash, the new black, has a wounded shoulder that may lay him up for even Happy Hikers Longwood was open this past a month.

the girls working on correct positions as they pull the string to release the arrow, hoping to hit the target. What excitement when someone makes a bullseye. Although for years archery has been considered a minor sport, it is taking it's place among athletics as an important body builder. Accuracy and coordination are the chief principles in making a good shot. Adieu again my sporty fans. Hockey Memo Last week's hockey practices Keep in the game. proved very exciting for the participants. Tuesday a slight accident occurred when two players collided at one end of the field, and the first aid fiends had a chance to practice. They both recovered enough to go back into the game. The competition was terrific. A spectator would be surprised to find both Green and Whites, and Red and Whites, playing together, although this is not a rare occurernce. This way it gives both teams a chance to cooperate with each other, and to discover an individual's playing power. From these girls who have been to eight practices will be picked the teams. You still have a chance to get in those eight practices, so let me remind you again to come out for hockey. "Blue Monday" once more, and this looks as though it might be a bad week for athletics. Ole Sol has hidden his face behind the clouds, giving S. T. C. a very damp atmosphere. If the weather continues as is, it will hold up the outdoor hockey practices, but will give the players a chance to practice the official rules. Tennis will also be at a standstill. Let's keep our fingers crossed, hoping it will clear up.
Others in the cast include Mary Frances Webb as Anna; Lillian Johnson as Thora: Doris Harper as the Chancellor; Marilyn Johnson, as Jessica; Marion Orange as Anton; Virginia Terrell as Beppo; Catherine Lynch as Simeon, Margaret Wilson as Count Rollo; Betty Deuel Cock as the Mummer. Nancy Wilkinson and Helen McGwire as Titus and Carlo, soldiers of the guard. Nancy Harrell plays the part of the Prince in the epilogue and Edith Dotson is taking the role of the Prince in the prologue.
