Dreaded Week of Exams Has Rolled Around Again!! THE
ROTUNDA
That long dreaded week of examinations has almost rolled around again. It seems that it was only a few weeks ago that we were in this same predicament. For some of us, this is our last week of college exams and for others it is our last weeks of exams of our first year. To those who face their -exams for the last time, we say "Make better grades on these exams than you've ever made." To those that are completing the end of another year's work

HEARD AFTER
BEDCHECK A few people at the dance seemed to have the wrong dates. Guess you were in a stew. Dody!—and as for Ann Dickinson—well, her situation was even more confusing! And to a certain senior is dedicated "Cocktails for Two." Nancy Pitts' date was really six feet four inches tall—or so he says. You must admit that man shoots a line and a half! Substitution of Jane was the b;st Betty could do for her date. Maybe he didn't know the difference. Sounds as though Phyllis was quite impressed with Kenneth. Know you've heard her chattering about the NICE boy. Poddy and Posy are quite the pair. Glad you've changed your opinion of S. T. C. dances, Poddy! I don't suppose your date could have had anything to do with their sudden change of mind. Just what was Bev telilng about Bill's goodbye that created a small riot in the stag line? Say, Bev, how about one more demonstration! Cutest couple on the floor was Maggie Mclntyre and Harold. However, they cut such a wicked rug she lost her flowers in the struggle. And as for A. T.. he was nearly rushed off his feet. Guess Helen was thankful for those no-break dances. That was the BIGGEST hunk ol man with Lynn Sprye seen in these parts in many a day. Bobby Scott and her date lit out for Burkeville Sunday—mm-m that is an exciting place. Just sing Anchors Away to 'Bomber" if you want to give her a large charge.. Lillian Elliott and that cute Mr. Elliott were having one knockedout time. Don't forget to bring him back, Lillian! To change the subject rather abruptly, but must hurry on, Mrs. Tabb said—in speaking of the Junior-Senior picnic—"I wouldn't have missed a one of those hot dogs because it isn't every day you get a taxied hot dog." Time's a-wasting so after putting off for about six weeks, the time for action has come, see you In the library, I'm afraid.
Up $ By ANNA HEADLEE Each spring the Y sponsors a special drive for the signing up for little sisters for coming year. This year's drive is under way; be sure to sign up for yours as soon as possible. There will be girls canvassing the halls or you can sign on the bulletin board. This is one of the best ways to really get to know the freshmen and new girls. Every quarter the Membership Committee writes and sends out an alumnae letter to last year's graduating class. The letter for this quarter has been written and includes Y news as well as all things of interest that have occurred on the campus. The installation of the Westminster Fellowship officers will take place next Sunday during the regular evening service. The entire service will be presented and dl-rected by the Fellowship. Everyone is invited to attend. The Methodist girls wUl have their set-up conference Friday. The old and new council will meet at 4:30 and all Methodist'students are urged to come out at 5 o'clock. The Canterbury Club announces that it will have its annual picnic, with hot dogs and all the trimmings, Sunday at the Withers. They also report that the Fellowship Hour held last Sunday was a great success. Theme of the week for prayers is "Christianity at Work in the World." Tonight the topic will be "Religious Foundation of Democracy." There will be a special program of music tomororw night. I read In a book That a man called Christ Went about doing good. It is very disconcerting To me That I am so easily Satisfied With Just Going about! —Toyohlko Ka^awa

Letters to the Editor: Dear Editor: My reason for bringing Ibis matter to your attention is because of the almost total misconception of the nature of sunlight, as evidenced by the doses some of our students attempted to absorb and because of the request for a number of them that I put In print some facts brought out In our discussion. Those who have devoted most time to this subject and who know most about it tell us that the study of effects of sunlight and nature's effort to control them has proven to be one of the most complex branches of all biological studies. Sunlight is essential for health, but there is no definite proof that any benefit is derived from seminude sun-bathing, but on the other hand there is definite evidence that mucli harm may be done. Scientists tell us that comfortable clothing, as worn in our climate, give all exposure that is needed for optimum physical well-being. Nature sees to it that the lower animals are protected from the dangers of sunlight, their clothing changing as the sun rays change. Consider the dog, the cow, the horse, etc. The part of wisdom is to protect the skin from the heat and chemical rays of the sun rather than to expose the skin to this irritant and its dangerous effects. Probably the best approach to the subject is to outline the functions of the skin. I quote from Sutton' recent textbook: "The skin is the dividing line between the individual and his environment. It is primarily a barrier. Physiologically it serves In protection, heat regulation, sensation, and chemical exchange. It resists abrasion, light, heat, and living organisms "the germs of disease)
Think through the above paragraph. You will see tliat sun bathing interferes with every function if the skin Please check again and think through the functions of the skin In the light of the above, you will also understand ,vhy exposure to the sun whUe exercising is nothing like so harmful as exposure to the sun while resting. Let me run over some of the specific harmful effects that may oe caused by sun bathing, many of which I have seen during the past month right here on our iampus exhaustion, skin inflammatlon 'similar to poison ivy); Ml ID intestional upsets with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; (digestion of the lungs; predisposing to influenza, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections. It has a tendency to cause eczema, acne, irexkles, headaches, vertigo, skin osnosr. Our knowledge of the sunlight has come largely through the Cancer Foundation activities. They have found that over-exposure to sunlight is one of the chief causes of skin cancer, from which 3.500 people die In tlie United States SMS) year. What we have said above refers to over-exposure and It Is very difficult to avoid this because there are so many factors that determine the individual doses. If > ou feel that you must have a tan. lake five minutes exposure two or three times a day for one week. Each WSSk add five minutes to four time and you will probably get a tan that will not produce . a: mini effects. "And what Is a tan?" A pigment which nature prepares to protect you from your own folly. It furnishes an Insulation which protects from harmful rays of the sun. —Ray A. Moore. ML D.
