THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1946 they §ave their rations to the little children. Yes, they gave food to the children of an enemy land. Perhaps, the child's father was at that moment away fighting, yet our soldiers gave them some of what they had to eat. If the fighting soldiers, without the comforts Of home, could give their rations to a hungry child; we protected here at school, can share our bread and butter with these starving people.
Upon the request of several students that we cut down on bread and butter because of the starving people in Europe, Student Government Association decided to appoint committees to investigate the situation. Thursday night the entire student body will vote whether OT not to accept the plan. This seems to lie one of the most worth while campaign' that has been started on this campus in a long time.

London is claiming her old place again in the show field, much to the happiness of her pleasure starved people. Even so, Farmville is due another spring show on May 18. Word has gotten around that the treasured ribbon is here, buttons included, and soon they'll be ready for some lucky girl and horse. It will probably be printed this week and the girls will start making them immediately. Switching the scene from Farmville to Lynchburg, the forecast shows a big show there on April 14. We have to get our fingers in such a delicious, inviting pie, so four Farmville horses will be shown there, too. They'll have to do their stuff and prance like they've never pranced before, for they're competing with the V. M. I. cavalry. Randolph-Macon, and others. The fortunate ones to go are Ducky Anderson, Betty Deuel Cock. Betty Ellis, Anna Headlee, and of course, Jean Sauerwein. Let's hope they all come back with two ribbons apiece. No one could really appreciate the beauty of last Sunday unless they saw it from the back of a horse. "He'll Jump his shadow" applies to the one and only pony, who almost does just that. He and Bill had a line time with Jean making the rounds. iThat is to say, the jumps). Meanwhile, good luck in Lynchburg, both riders and horses, and—
(Editors Note—This is the «econd in a series of articles written about the West in order that the students may better understand the May Day festival which will be held on the campus this session.) In the development of our West, far country, we must consider our Mid-Wtst, near country. You ask why. First, because pioneer women feared the plains. The men were attracted by the plains, but the women were repelled. Many a family on its Westward Trek had to stop at the edge of the forest because the women were unwilling to go farther. There was too much of the unknown, too few of the things they loved.. The early conditions on the Plains precluded the little luxuries that women love and that are BO necessary to them. Imagine a sensitive woman set down on an arid plain to live in a dugout or a pole pen with a dirt floor, without furniture, music, or pictures—no trees or shrubbery or flowers, little water, plenty of sand and high wind. Beret Hansa's pathetic explanation, "Why, there isn't even a thing that one can hide behind!" gives one the best clues to privacy, no friendly tree — nothing but earth, sky, grass and wind. The loneliness women endured must have been such as to crush the soul provided one did not meet the isolation with an adventurous spirit. But this lonely life was not without its compensations. Every man was a self-appointed protector of women. Men loved the Plains with a primitive simplicity. However hard the life was. it was full of zest and joy. The early period of our frontier history was strictly a man's country—more of a man's country than any other portion of the frontier. Men loved the Plains, or at least those who stayed there did. Men developed a hardihood which made them insensible to the Continued on Page 4

Here's hoping the sun will shine and the field and courts will stay in ship-shape for the events of the coming week. TENNIS The courts have been rolled and lined, and are in good shape for the spring session. Let's keep them that way by remembering to wear the regulation tennis shoes. The courts have been the most popular places on campus since the first .-.igns of the sun. and we hope they'll stay that way. The tournament is a week closer now than it was the last time we started to peck out this column on our typewriter. There is nothing better than to see* everyone out suppo'ting her colors. For those that haven't as much experience on the court, as some, don't let that stop you. With a little experience in wielding the racket, sure foot movement, you could easily be on your way to becoming a first class player. Let's get out from behind the four walls of our dorm .own. and give it a try. SOFTBALL The turnout for the outstanding sport of the season has been great, but it can be a lot better. Every girl with or without knowledge of how it's done, should be out on that field during the class periods scheduled for softball to take part Softball rules are simple, and once you've learned to catch a ball and make the bat and ball connect, you're all set for an hour of good healthy activity. GOLF Golf is rating high with the S.
T.C. sports lovers again this quarter. Have you noticed the red cheek, wind b own girls who rush in eMb afternoon just in time for supper after a wonderful game at Longwuod? We are fortunate in having such a marvelous golf course Take advantage of it. Until next week, Stay on the ball.
