fe Have A Date In November 2nd ia election day. What arc going to do "" thai day? College students are playing a big par! in this election for the i'ii.-t time. There are two and a half million students in the colleges of i I fnited states and over one and a half million of them have reached the voting What a tremendous amount of influwe would have in the shaping <>t" the destiny of our country, if all of us who can would take ad\ 8 of the voting pi'ives. Ily enough, there is too much indifference among students toward assuming the responsibilities of a voting citizen. Can this be because each person feels that he or she is only one among so many and that his
opinion will never be noticed? Dr. Lancaster, in his talk to the seniors urging our interesl in national and international affairs, read a little poem well worth heeding. 11 says— I AM ONLY ONE 1 am only one ;
But I am one. 1 cannot do everything, Bui I can do something.

We an- not .hi' future citizens of the U. s. we are the present citizens: Even if we cannot vote on November 2nd. most of us will at least reach 21 during the term of the Ing administration whatever it is. We can have aii influence by being interested i i n before we can express our influi by voting. There is another even more closely re ! opportunity for us to express our good citizenship right here on the campus. The candidates for Governor of Virginia in the 1949 elections are speaking here under the auspices of theA.A.U.W. and they hav. invited us to hear those men. Colonel Miller spoke last night and Senator Battle will speak next Tuesday night. We should avail ourselvea of the opportunity offered us to know these candidates.

Let's really begin to sit up and take notice. Just because S. T. C. cannot figure in politics is no reason for its students to ignore all political issuep. The thinking of the nation goes on in our very heads: don't let our country down by putting aside any efforts on its behalf.

Already we believe we can hear a few freshmen voices griping about the one hour a week the new class will steal from their precious free time. But we also believe that the frosh will ;soon see that these few hours wisely spent will mean the saving of many hours of regret later on. Freshmen are indeed lucky to be coached on good study and spending habits, on grooming and etiquette,oil so many things that upperclassmen either learned the hard way or haven't learned yet.

Circus Continued from paue 1 The songs 'many of which sported new lyrics > of the Juniors, "Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go With Friday On Saturday Night" and "We Ain't Got Nobody" were one of the most clever things in circus. Everything about "Treasure Island", from the lazy bom s and the heads with no bodies to the pirates and native girls and from the little pearl to the fourcarat diamonds, was wonderful to watch. The faculty judges. Miss Virginia Wall, Mr. M. Boyd Coyner, and Dr. C. G. G. Moss, must have had a hard time handing out the prizes, for the seniors, like the other classes, had a world of talent displayed In in their stunt. "Deep in a Dream of You." Out of genuine mist where the dreamer lay, stepped various dreamy and nightmarish dancers and singers. Galloway attributes her successful rendition of "I'm a Little Panda Bear" to the fact that she caught the hiccups. How she manages to keep a cronic state of them presents quite a mystery. When at last the grand finale was ended and Ringmaster "Roady" had stopped humming and hawing, prolonging the suspense, by advertising at length each of the concession booths, the crowd learned that the Judges had deemed the junior stunt, "Treasure Island," worthy of first place, with the sophomores' "Mother Goose Goes Wild" running a close second. And so in the midst of congratulations, tears of joy, and tears of disappointment your clown-reporter stole quietly away from the milling Circus throng to write for you this clowns-eye-view account, adding congratulations to Alpha Kappa Gamma for presenting the student body and guests with such fine entertainment and at the same time ennabling A. K. G. to earn its expenses for the yen and to maintain its student scholarship fund.
