Dean Savage Publishes Article Entitled "Many College Graduates Must Work" "MANY College Oraduates MUST WORK" is the title of an article on the Longwood guidance program by Dean William W. Savage. The article appears in | the February issue of the "Virginia Journal of Education." This article was prepared as an answer from Longwood to an , editorial in the October 1949 issue of the Journal. The editorial I contended that the schools and ! the parents were failing to give youngsters the vocational guidance necessary. "Our present student personnel program has been in operation only three years. As yet, we make no claim for its effectiveness except that we believe its purposes are sound and that there has been a definite Increase In the thought that our students are giving to their careers ..." said Dean Savage of the Longwood program. Outlines Projram In the article Dean Savage gives a brief outline of the entire guidance program at Longwood. Included in this program are the admission program, the guidance available to freshmen during orientation week and when registering for classes, and the system of assigning each student a faculty advisor for his freshman and sophomore years.

DEAN WILLIAM W. SAVAGE, who authored "Many College Graduates Must Work.' lish classes. During the first semester each student writes his autobiography; during the second, he develops a comprehensive paper on the career for which he is preparing. Thus the student becomes more familiar with his vocational choice, and the papers are placed In the students personal folders where they are utilized by their advisers and other faculty members.
In addition, a regional supervisor of the State Department of Education is attached to the College staff. She counsels students who are referred to her by their advisers and she instructs in courses in guidance offered in the college. Her counseling activities are devoted primarily to assisting students in their choice of vocation. Vocational Information Vocational information is made available through the College both to the College students and to boys and girls of high school age in the schools of Virginia. The Longwood Library maintains extensive vertical files containing several thousand publications dealing with careers in many different fields. The College has published several booklets during the past few years for high school boys and girls. Among these are "So You're a Senior", published in 1947, which was designed to assist high school graduates In choosing their college. In 1948. the College issued the booklet. Will College Prepare You for a Career?" which attempted to give concise information on the career opportunities In each field in which Longwood offered major study.

THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 21. 1951
We Want Cuts Orchids to the students of Longwood for their attendance at and conduct during the last four assemblies. It seems that little more could be wished for by students, faculty and administration members. Yet there Is, among the student- at any rate,
a decided dissatisfaction. And with good reai on MM t students of college level are considered to lie of adult and mature minds, or at least of maturing mind;, and responsibility along with trust is placed upon their shoulders. This, it seems evident, is not the case at LongWOod. We the students have been placed In a position where we .MIST, rather than where we understand that it's only right that we should attend
the College assemblies. Are the students being taught a lesson? Perhaps. Hut it is plainly evident that the majority of us do not think so. Instead, we are rebelling—rebelling against this small taste of authoritarianism. We feel that we are no longer children of immature minds thai need to he told, "You must do so and so, and to see that you do, your privileges shall he taken away." We are growing men and women that need a "talking to" .perhaps, or need to be reasoned with quite seriously. Vet. we can cease growing and remain only partly mature if. in matters of importance or id" less significance, we are forced to depend upon the rules and regulations set up for us, rather than with us or by us. The modern trend of progressive education is self-development of responsibility and good judgment with democratic guidance, and not authoritarianism. Because we overeut classes once in a while, we are;uot deprived of the class cuts hut are simply deprived of the privilege of leaving the College for one or two week ends. Why shouldn't we be trusted with
Let's Get Acquainted Major elections are almost here. It's time to think. How can the students of LongWOOd choose the girl who can and will lust fulfill the duties of an office when they don't really know the girl — her qualifications or her plans and purposes for carrying out the duties she will perform? The honest answer trMhis question is, "they can't," We may say: "It isn't my fault; I wasn't given a chance to know the candidates or discover their qualifications or willingness to accept the responsibilities of the office." Hut it is our fault. It's up to us — the voters to demand this opportunity. Wouldn't it he better it each candidate were given the chance to speak or have someone else speak for her concerning her qualifications and plans for performing the duties of the office for Which she is running? Couldn't uc be more Intelligent voters If such campaign speeches were given'.' The girls we choose will govern us, for better or for worse, for the coming year and the quality Of these leaders depends upon the voters. Only by demanding and receiving the right to know what we are doing can we he asMired of the best officers
— officers who will give us government the way we want it. It's all up to the Individual student of Longwood and to the student body as a whole. Let's get to work and gain for ourselves s my of knowing tor whom and for what we're voting. In charge of this is*ue: Janet \Viccins Bunny

such cuts from the weekly assembly? Agreed, there are some students who will take advantage, to the extreme, of such a privilege. They can be chastized in a manner that seems suitable for adults. There are others who have not and would not misuse assembly cuts; why should they be made to conform to a rule that was meant for the students who abused their privileges? The students of Longwood have heard much concerning honor and honesty of late. We are trusted in the classroom without being constantly observed by a professor. We have been told time and again that an honor system cannot work unless partakers in that honor system are upon their honor in every phase of life. Prove to us thut we have honor. We Want Assembly Cuts.
In Regards STALIN, MOSCOW Regarding your interview with a Pravda correspondent, February 16, I should like to comment. Your words were "just the same old malarkey" to Senator Hickenlooper; however, they provoke thought and questions for Longwood students and their countrymen. Two thoughts, in particular, strike home — alleged American patriotism and fading faith in the ideals of the United Nations. Let's take American patriotism apart first you imply that American soldiers and people don't know or don't like what they're fighting for? That hits home, college and industry. You must have heard us saying at home: "Its none of our affair. Why do we sacrifice for some unknown Koreans?" You must have sensed that at college, a girl will date an unshaven tie-less Character in college jeans before she will accept an eighteen year-old in khaki. You have, undoubtedly, read about the "sick leave" for the Railroad workers, which slowed down ammunition shipments. You read more recently about 70,000 strikers in the woolen works. They wanted more pay. Their present wages only average $1.42 an hour. Wool is needed. After chipping Korean ice off an exposed limb, one battles gangrene and amputation. You second point: "The United Nations Organization is taking the inglorious road of the League of Nations . . . burying its moral prestige and dooming itself to disintegration." What has the U. N. done for Pakistan? for India? Men's faith in the U. N. is comparable to students' faith in an efficient and progressive College Administration. Alter the partition of India in 1947 and the formation of independent Pakistan, the possession of Kashmir became a problem. Both wanted her. Since, Kashmir, (the si/.e of Montana, with a population of 4 million) has been a hot potato tossed between Pakistan, India, and the U. N. Both India and Pakistan sent troops to Kashmir; bot<h obeyed the U. N. "ceasetire'' order. However, when the U. N. Security Council took up the .problem in January, l'.l IS, it was unable to find a solution. It is still unsettled in 1950. What has the U. N. done? Pakistan feels insulted and ignored. She cannot strengthen her own economy until she can withdraw her troops. What faith has Pakistan in the U. N. as e protecor of smaller nations? Consider her graphic position in relation to Russia! Stalin, you struck at the core of our nation, the patriotism of our soldiers and people. You struck also at the core of the U. N.. faith in its power and its ideals. You are a clever, unscrupulous strategist. You have watched, encouraged and used man's •d, selfishness, fear, and confusion. Now you point them out. You are a God-less psychologist, counting on man's ignorance, immoralities and confusion as instruments for your own success. SALLY BRICKMAN
Hello Joe By Barbara White This past week at Longwood College has been a most Interesting one. I have at last learned to play that great American game, bridge. For a long time I had heard people yelling, "Will anyone be a fourth at bridge." It made me very sad that I could not join them, because it is an excellent chance to spread our Communist propaganda. Now for hours each day, I hold a hand of cards and say "pass." I always try to bid the red cards, Comrades. Saturday night, the Juniors had a dance. Some of the girls seemed unhappy because It was a "girl break" affair. I really don't see what difference it makes who breaks: just so everything is demolished before the evening is over. A great many of the girls who went had blind dates. I guess that is so the boys can be spared the agony of looking at these girls. Yet. it is a shame that so many American men are blind. After the dance I heard several of them talking about these blind dates. Most of them said, "Oh well, at least he was a good dancer." It is so marvelous the way these Americans can even teach blind men to dance. There has been a great deal of illness lately. I. myself, have been trying to become ill enough to get into the infirmary. It would be so easy to teach Communism to those #vho are sick and cannot think straight. The college had dedication services this week for the new flag. There were so few people there that I truly believe they are on our side. I haven't resigned myself to the salt mines yet. The Garden Clubs of Virginia are meeting here this week. There was a mad rush of preparation for their arrival. A new building was quickly finished to accomadate them, all the floors were waxed and the furniture polished, and, above all, O Comrades, we have had dessert for lunch every day during their stay here. This is all of any importance that has happened lately. Love in Stalin. Comrade White

By JIMMY THOMPSON MKKMAIDS TO MEET II* RC ■ The Virginia State Telegraphic swimming meet will be held in the Longwood pool sometime during the month of March. Along with Longwood Madison, Mary Washington, William and Mary, and Roanoke Colleges will compete for school and individual titles. 8'i hours of practice are needed to be eligible to participate, and everyone has been invited to come down to the pool and try out. The hours from one to two p. m. on Tuesdays and from 10 to 11 p. m. on Thursdays have been set for practice. Jean Ridenour wishes to remind everyone that Longwood wants to make an impressive showing, so all you swimmers come out and give the "aquatics" all the support you have for the meet. PIONEERS TRAVEL TO DANVILLE Tonight the Pioneers travel to Danville to again engage in a basketball tilt with the V. P. I. extension there. In an earlier meeting of the two teams this year the Tech offsprings defeated Longwood by the score of 66-39. However, the Pioneers'now have a few more reserves, and should promise to produce a better showing. A win in Danville would certainly boost the moral of the whole team! ITS BASEBALL TIME AGAIN With spring jusi, around the corner it looks as if basketball will soon take the back seat, and baseball will come into the spotlight. The major league teams have already begun spring training in Florida. , and other warm-weatheh states, and it's anyone's guess as to who ! will dominate the American and National leagues this coming year. As soon as the "Grapefruit League" gets under way, some idea as to the powerful clubs will be brought into view. This is a little early in the season but ye 'ole Spectator picks the New York Yankees as probable champs in the American League and the Boston Braves as leaders in the senior circuit. Who knows? SOUTHERN CONFERENCE SCORING RECORD SET Saturday night saw" Jay Handlin of the Washington and Lee Generals set a new Southern Conference individual scoring record when he scored 66 points against Ferman Conege in their tilt in the VMI Riding Hall in Lexington. These 66 points came within 19 of ! tieing the all-time inter-collegiate national record held by Paul Arizin of Villinova. This former record was set in 1947. The South ; Carolinians were defeated by the Generals by a score ol 97-82. In a second game that same night the VPI Keydets defeated , Davidson College for their second win of the season. This was truly : an unexpected upset. GIRLS TRAVEL TO NORFOLK Miss Olive Her will take the Longwood sextet to Norfolk to play against the Norfolk Division of William and Mary this Friday afternoon. Since there are so many girls out for oasketball. it is reported that she will take fewer upperclassmen and more freshmen and ' sophomores on this trip. The upperclassmen will be reserved for next Week's trip to Baltimore, when they engage Notre-Dame College on March 2. A win in these two outings would leave the girls with an impressive record of four wins to one loss, a good record in anybody's book!

safely and there, you've made it and dance away while the others follow. The orchestra leader announces that the next song is for Dr. and Mrs. Schlegel and you're dancing to 'Til Get By," a little later the tempo changes and this time you're fairly flying to the "Mexican Hat Dance." and then a medley and not too much later you dance your last one, a nice slo' one and then slip quietly out to hop into a car heading for Longwood. Longwood presents a wonderfully cozy appearance. Already there is a group centered around the warm glow of one of the brightly burning fires and in no time you have joined them with a plateful of ham biscuits, other goodies, and a cup of punch. The Combo has really warmed up now playing one favorite after another; Tech renders an ole "Hokie," and it wouldn't be complete without Maria and "Six feet two. eyes of blue. ."; you sing everything from "Goodnight Irene" to "Carolina Moon," and you could have stayed there forever but after a while you leave with the others and later on when you have told everyone good night, you think to yourself that perhaps being a Junior is a pretty nice occupation and besides there is still tomorrow..

Meeting for the purpose of correlating the different aspects of math, the seminar will be formed principally of Junior and senior majors, but it will be open to anyone desiring to participate. The first meeting of the group was held last Wednesday to make plans for the work they will do during the rest of the year. The regular meeting time will be on Tuesdays at one o'clock, in Mrs. Phillips' classroom. The straight line, sketching curves, logarithms, problems, and stating problems will be among the topics to be considered by the mathematics study group. They will attempt to find out how many different ways certain fundamental problems may be worked. No credit will be received by the members participating In this weekly discussion. According to Mrs. Phillips, it will be a time for any problems which the student tea! hers or any other majors have to be presented It is to be a course in the practical problems which teachers or anyone who works with mathematics is likely to encounter.

that unearthly hour when I can look forward to another play production class. Did I say play production? Well, although that's the unseemly title given to the class, it really should be called carpentry, general repairing, or Just plain manual labor. The whole thing started when I looked in the catalog last January to find another crip course to t«ke (I'm famed for this>. Hm. ..Speech 431; Principles of Play Production; reading and listening to plays. Not bad at all, I thought. That's what I thought! I enrolled in Speech 431, and everything went along fine. UNTIL! All of a sudden Mr. Finlayson gets the bright Idea that he's gonna put on a play—"Any Way You Want Me" or "As You Desire Me" or something like that. On the first Tuesday morning after he made that bright decision, he greets us with the announcemnt that WE are gonna' make, paint, and transport all the props. So he asks us if we would like to bring the props from the storeroom to the small auditorium. Well, as the rest of us shrink down into our seats, hoping to get by unnoticed. Oil and Hose eagerly raise their little hands 'I can't make up my mind whether these two are really Interested in the stuff, or Just helfty.) Well, we carry the props. You probably saw us, trudging wearily to and from the small auditorium from eight to nine each Tuesday.
semi-circles from the strain. Now that that's done, I sigh, maybe we'll get around to reading and listening to some plays. But, oh no! We now face the thrilling task of making a heavy door (complete with knob, latch, etc.", creating an apartment in Berlin, and a Venetian Bvtag room. Anyhow, even though it's not exactly what I thought it would be (incidentally. It's far from crip), I'll be forced to admit that it's certainly Just about the most unusual class In which I've participated. Where else would you find a course that consists of everything from painting a four 'oot portrait of Murphy to driving nails into any piece of wood you can find (sometimes I feel that I Just may be driving them right into my own coffin)? Seriously speaking, there's a heck of a lot of work being done on this forthcoming play (take It from me. I know), and I strongly advise all of you to save your dough and attend, on account of even if the play were rotten, the cast rotten, and the night Saturday, the props, (when we finish with 'em) are gonna be worth the price of a ticket, that's fer sure..
