Men and "C" averages WOM the big items on the :>tud nt Standards agenda when the committee mi t last Thursday. As a result of committee action the local men's Student Government acquired Student Standards representation. The committee gave a vote of approval to a faculty proposal for modifying the existing "C" average scholastic requirement for participation in extracurricular activities. Men Admitted Calvin Hatcher. Men's Student Government president, appeared before the committee to explain that the men students sought representation on the present Student Standards committee as a more effective alternative to setting up of a separate organization of their own. The proposal met no opposition, and it was decided to admit two representatives of Men's Student* Government to the committee. "C" Average A faculty committee introduced a proposal originating in last week's faculty meeting that the "C" average requirement for student participation in extracurricular activities be lowered or modified. This proposal was not presented for action by the committee but for the purpose of getting the group's opinion on the subject. Student Standards voiced approval of the projected measure by a sizeable majority. Proponents of modifying the 1-point rule pointed out that the Longwood requirement is not in keeping with general practice at other colleges. They brought out that the rule's effectiveness is often defeated in many ways and that it works unnecessary hardship on both students and organizations affected. The faculty committee on student activities, headed by Miss Burger, will consider tba question at lencth when It meets this week. After this study recommendations will be Continued on page 4

Problem Remains Unsolved With the publication of the letter to the editor from Mr. Malloy. speaking for 13 men students, the issue of women's athletics seems to have drawn to a close. Both sides of the argument have been published impartially by the Rotunda. Following standard newspaper practice, the staff ass II ni e s DO responsibility for statements made in signed columns or in letters to the editor. In summing up the situtaion the crux of the problem is "Does the Longwood College women's varsity team play enough Intercollegiate games?" The columnist said no; the Writer Of last week's letter to the editor said >vs. Basic differences in physical education theory make impossible the resolution of the problem. Student reaction has seemed to prove that the emphasis placed on Intramural rather than intercollegiate sports at LongWOOd la satisfactorq.
Letters To Editor In spite of this, the columnist was well within his rights in the points that he made, which were meant as constructive criticism. Unfortunately students have let personal grudges and petty emotions color their judgment of the controversy. The Rotunda has been adversely criticized for publishing the controversy on the grounds that such matter is bad publicity for the College. The Rotunda was not established, and is not run, as an advertising medium for the College. We restate that "It aims, by publishing the news of the College, to keep the students, the faculty and the alumni informed as to what is going on; to reflect the opinions of students, faculty and administration on College affairs; and to serve as a current chronicle of College life." This is what students have demonstrated that they want, and this is the policy that we shall continue to follow.
Don'l Pass This Up One of the best founded boasts of Ix>ngWOOd College is the well rounded curricula it offers students academically and socially. We are given opportunities to develop in every possible way in class and out. A phase of this "rounding out" program offend by the college is Religious Emphasis Week. The "Y" in co-operation with the administration has brought to the campus annually, eminent speakers who are anxious to discuss with us questions about life, race and sect problems and a
myriad of other pertinent topics. Throughout next week, the Rev. Byron M. Wilkinson will be on campus to serve in this capacity. In the "bull sessions" and talks you will have the chance to discuss and compare your ideas and opinions with one who has made a specialized study of these important topics. This is an opportunity created specifically for you — one that will enable you to add to that ever broadening personality. Don't pass it up!

Three weeks ago when I handed you that crow to pick concerning anonymous letters in the ROTUNDA, I didn't realize quite what I was rushing into. I hardly expected my crow to come back a buzzard. But— "Can a student be sure that frank speech will not bring down vengeance from a faculty member?" asks your editorial writer. Now, Dear Editor, I'm asking you again, if the writer of that question had been required to sign it, would not she have weighed her own words more carefully? Does the problem concern "frank speech" or does it concern ill considered, rash expressions of personal opinions? In the question quoted above, for instance, there is lodged an accusation against every one of sixty or seventy people personally, which if made in the public press might become a cause for libel. Being in the form of a question does not mitigate the charge. The personal nnd professional honor of every Individual in the group is impeached And by withholding the signature of the writer you have deprived the victims of their right to defend themselves against the accuser. Is the ROTUNDA living up to its responsibility to all concerned? Should not every offender against Justice be judged?

The writer feels that there are some valid criticisms of the men's intercollegiate activities which could be made. These, however, will be submitted to the administration of the college in a formal report at the termination of the present basketball season; and in all fairness, it must be added that they are due. in every case, to the novelty of nature of men's activities here at Longwood. In general, the men participating in basketball feel that every effort has been made to assure them of having a place of their own in athletic activities, and are grateful to the College for the opportunities that have been presented.

Dear Editor: The writer feels that he should call the attention of the student body of Longwood College to the fact that the recent (Wednesday. Feb. 1) Rotunda article, Scanning the Field", is an expression of personal opinion, and in no way should be interpreted as representing the feelings or opinions of the "Co-eds". This statement, the writer believes, is particularly applicable to those "Co-eds" who are members of the men's varsity basketball team.

Scanning The Field By LESTER SMALLWOOD THE *C' AVERAGE HANDICAP The Student Standards Committee Is now considering the advisability of strictly adhering to the "C" average regulation placed on the door of many extra-curricular activities at Longwood. The student, to return to College the following session, must maintain n cumulative quality point average of .50 for freshmen, .78 for sophomores, and .90 for juniors. If the student meets these recognized standards of proficient work, then he should be allowed to engage in the available extra-curricular activities allowed him under the Student Standard's point system. THE FRESHMAN As a freshman there are many adjustments necessary before a steady pattern of work may be set up by some students. This is often not necessarily a matter of applying himself to his books for longer hours. His adjustment must be social also; If you limit or restrict this at any point the result Instead of being positive may be negative, and at this crucial stage, disastrous psychologically. THE MEN % In narrowing the picture down to the men's activities in paricular. there are just not enough men at the present time to enorce such a high standard, and at the same time maintain the .mportant functions of such activities. The men have gone all-out n ■ sustained effort to develop and maintain a well grounded men program that will carry enough moncntum to "roll on" in the future .-, at Longwood. Strictly enforcing the presnt "C" average rule would remove too many fundamental "bricks". and it would all come tumbling down, heaven knows when to go back up once again. Even small colleges of approximately 500 men find that they can not stiictly enfore a "C" average without critically crippling themselves in all phases of the campus life, so they employ a sliding ■ ale similar to the above. Of course a "C" average should be required for graduation, but the student should be given the time to adjust to coilege life without the removal of his social potentialities, which is an important phase in the development of maturity, education, and successful living. In many cases this comes as an end product, not neccessarily present at the beginning. THE TELEGRAM At Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg last Friday night the men's varsity basketball team received a surprising telegram from the "Longwood Girls" wishing them luck and victory in the ' highly rivaled contest. In the dressing room there came forth a might "hurrah"; the Pioneers beat MW 62-41 .their largest victory margin of the campaign. Miss Olive T. Her, head of the Physical i Education Department at Longwood sponsored the message.
