I feel it my official duty to warn you that you'll really be sorry If you miss It. "As You Desire Me" (s a type of drama new to most of you who will see It here. It is vthe story of a strange hdy, Cla. who has gone through the Austrian Invasion, its effect upon her thoughts, feelings, and actions, and the reflection of her personality on the supporting characters. It Is the tvpe of entertainment that will be enjoyed by almost anyone because of Its versatility 'check that $60 word, boys!), since It contains romance, mystery, and pathetic reality which Is often disguised as superficial humor. The thought that remains most prevalent In one's mind during the entire play la the question—
who is this strange lady? Is she really Cla. Bruno's wife, or is she merely an un mportant impostor? If she Is not Cia, why does she pretend to be? I have not yet seen the entire play rehearsed at one time, therefore I have been unable to form an answer to any of these questions myself; however, I can say that It makes very Interesting food for thought (Quit laughing—I do so think, sometimes). You know it's very seldom that you are fortunate enough to see a play that posefses such complex and intellectual qualities and yet retains the qualities of down to earth enterta'nment that are prevalent In many of our own criteria for the Judgment of a good play. Well, boys. I lust thought that since I had changed my mind about this forthcoming plav and decided that it ain't exactly crazy—it's what the smart upper set would call "thought provoking." I'd better let all my best friends in on the dope. Which is all the more reason why you don't want to miss it, on account of most of you realize that anything that can provoke thought in this 2'2 horsepower brain of mine must really be a masterpiece

'CharlieHop 'AsksAdmission For New 'Little Miss Hop' Yes. sir, boys! We sophomores have a new class member by the name of Jacquelyn Holllday French, born March 6th in Baltimore, Maryland. Little Miss French is already an iex-offlcio' member of the Class of '53—a true Green and White! I'm a tellln' you folks, old Grandpa French has been passing out cigarettes 'has to be different) all week, I mean he is evermore shook, but he kept things well enough in hand to tell us that the first word she sa'.d was "Yo" and she can already sing Green and White with little or no trouble, although that high middle part in the Alma Mater is giving her a slight bit of trouble. Seems like little Jackie will just have to come to Longwood— but not in a Red n' White year —Horrors—on acount of her Old Grandpa, it's been rumored, has already filled out an appl cation for admission In the class of 1967. Oh, goodness — I Just counted the years up and '67 will
be a Red n" White year. So, Jackie, it just seems that you're gonna have to either skip a grade, flunk one. or just wait a year to enter this wonderful institution. Jackie's daddy, who, incidentally, is Raymond Holliday French. Jr.. just finished doing graduate work at the University of Michigan this January, but he did his undercraduate work at dear ole Tech! He's an aeronautical engineer, while Jackie's mother, who came to Longwood 'like all normal, average, American g.rlsi for two years, i> 'or was) a laboratory technician. Yes, sir, boys, we know Jacquelyn H. French is bound to have principles and stability aplenty if she is a good ole green and white! Guess she'll Just have to be a chemistry major and just to be a regular "wheel" so Grandpa can be right by her. Little does she know of her widespread fame and fortune. So—the clOM of 1968. whether it knows it or not, will some day welcome ,i natural born celebrity!

All vol.'.s were definite except those for Student Government preside r.t. which tallied closely. '>'<>t • were collected after 6 p. m. to aid in making the decision more exaot, but were dtscanlvd after consultation with Dr, C. O. G. Moss, ex—advisor to the Association, when he pointed out that this practice should not be carried out. Therefore, the results, as they now stand, are from the votes made up to 6 p. m. on Tuesday. Although the votes collected after 6 p. m. yesterday were discarded, those votes would not have changed the final results. The announced election winner would have remained in the-lead. The decision of the tellers comin I tee to discard the late votes was a matter of principle and had no effect upon the election of Martha Alice Wilson ns president.

Congratulations Everyone... Congratulation! go from the Rotunda to th«' newly elected student officers. They are quite capable of fulfilling the duties demanded by the high offices they have been elected to fill. Congratulations are also in order for the student body for the wise choice they made in their selection of officers. The four officers, president of the Student Government Association, president of the House Council, president of the Y. W. ('. A., and president of the Athletic Association Council, elected yesterday, hold the highefll student positions in the college. They will serve on the Student Council whose purpose is to preserve student honor, to unite the students of the college for more efficienl BOrvice, and to train the students in personal responsibility and loyalty. Kach member of the student body is a member of the Student Government Association. The association is governed by the Student Council. In electing these officers to serve on this council, we have shown our trust in their ability and our willingness to be governed by them. The responsibility of the student body, however, does not stop with the election of
the officers. The officers are depending on our support and co-operation throughout their term of office. Without our assistance it will be impossible for them to efficiently fulfill the duties of their offices.

Strolling With Stokes by Stokes Overby The approach of the Easter season suggested that our weekly question be: "Do you think that Easter has lost its significance to the average college student?" The majority of the girls questioned answered In the affirmative. Frances Andrews said. "Yes. I believe so because most people Just think about the vacation, what they will do. and where they will go." Beverly Marsh agreed, "It simply means a much needed rest to most students." Rayoelle Lewis declared. "I think we've forgotten Easter in a way because we don't think about God. We Just think about the new clothes we're going to buy and worry about getting flowers." Many girls thought that entirely too much stress was put on buying new clothes rather, than on the spiritual significance of Easter. Among those who pointer! out this emphasis on the outward appearance were Margaret Stable. Billle Tomllnson. eNllie Culpepper, and Margaret Taylor. Barbara White observed that on Easter morning, churches are packed with people going to show off their new clothes and flowers—people who don't go at any other time. "I think most college students realize there is some spiritual significance, but they don't actually know what it Is." stated Sally Brickman. "They will rattle off a lot of details gotten from a Sunday school lesson, but putting It into meaningful actions is something foreign to them."
Both Martha Sanford and June Johns brought out the fact that the gravity of the world situation should make Easter mean more to people this year than ever before. Nearly all college students have brothers or friends in i some branch of the service. Jean ! Ridenour declared, "People turn I to religion in times of war and. danger more than during peace." Nancy Huff and Ilia DesPortr.i shared the opinion that although at first students are eager at the thought of a vacation, homecooked food, and new clothes, after they get home they settle down and realize what they have been given a vacation for. Particularly when Easter Sunday comes, the holiday is seen In the true and proper light. Ann Keith Hundley said. Most of us think about the beauty, the happiness, and having a good time, but undent th. we're always conscio"s of the real meaning." Peggy Jones had a similar view point: Being at home in your own church makes you realize that Earter is a preat deal more than new clothe., etc. I d^n't think students linve lost the right feeling about Easter" It was Mary Moue Kair's belief thut "not only college i-tudents but everyone pl.iees too much emphasis en the s,-called Muter outfit " Mary Helen Cook observed. "So often our Baster thoughts are centered on wordly things, wouldn't It do us all good to stop and ask ourselves what Easter really means?"

(Since I am almost 5'3". of course, this is naturally expect ed. i Just as my chin was resting comfortably on the top of tail head, someone broke, and struggling to get the crick out of my neck. I looked up Into the deep blue eyes of any girl's dream man. The orchestra was playing "Be My Love," and we had danced a whole minute when who should break on us but my old friend, the squarc-danccr. <Hc could do the two-step by this time.)

One of them said he would call me, but I've forgotten who it was. I think I just might have a date to tell you about, come next Saturday night. If not, well. I can always try going to Camp Pickett again next month!

The Spectator JIMMY THOMPSON HOW'D YOU LIKE TO WIN $2,000 A WEEK? Thats Just what Lankey Jim Ferrier has done for the last three weeks on the Spring Golf Circuit. When he came in first yesterday at the Jacksonville opening, it made $6,000 that he had wonin a little more than tliree weeks. However, adding this large sum to his total earnings, it still doesn't add up to as much as Lloyd Mangrum has earned (this year). I personally think that this Is a good way to make a little spending money. After all, there's a lot of good wholesome recreation lnvoled and good opportunities to travel and see the whole country. However, there's a little catch to the whole thing. You have to know how to play the game. Really though, its simple. All you have to do is hit a little ball and then go chase it. Sometimes you hit it so far that you lose It. but don't let that stop you; there have been many people to lose those precious little things, that only cost about a small dollar. Besides all that, you have to buy clubs, tees, and pay green fee. Here ai Longwood, though, there is no green fee and there are plenty of clubs in the field house for your use. Also, Mr. Sam Graham is a very capable instructor. Hope to see you all on the course next week raring to go. V. M. I.

Since the theme of the pageant revolved around the Chrtstsaai season, it is being changed for Its second presentation. In genjeral, the pageant will be the same, but the theme will be | spring instead of winter. While you're home for fl j you'd better spruce up that tennis racket and those golf clubs With spring creeping around the corner, outdoor sports will be in full swing any day now. Last Friday night many of us thrilled to Orchesis' annual recital. Our enjoyment wns hei lit ened bv the knowledge of tinwork that went into the performance, i»nd few were able to leave the gym without the desire to return again next year.

College To Select Paintings Red Cross Drive English Group 38 High School Students Shown by Virginia Artists Misses Set Goal Initiates 12 Visit Campus OverWeek-end During Biennial Exhibit Girls Tour Campus, College Contributes New Members Graduating Classes Contribute Funds This sprint longwood will offer its first purchase price award in connection with the thirteenth Iii • imi:11 Exhibition of Virginia Artists. A fund for purchasing pointings was started by the summer class of 194!) and added to by the senior and summer ClMI of 1950. With the fund started by these classes the college hopes to offer a purchase price award to a Virginia participating in the Biennial at the Virginia Museum of Pine Arts in Richmond. A purcliii.se price award tii• m that one of the pictures will be bought at the price the artist has put on it. A committee has been chosen to make this year's selection. The members from the college faculty are MV.s. Janice Lcmcn. Miss Virginia Bedford. Miss Ruth Cleaves, and Mrs. Mildred Davis. Mrs. John Pollard, assistant director of the Virginia Museum, has been asked to .•• rvc also This committee will try to select a painting from the exhibit which will be suitable to hang in the Rotunda and which will provide maximum enjoyment for years to come, ft is hoped that The Longwood College Purchase Price Award will grow steadily and that it may be set up as a permanent part of the Virginia Biennial. The award indicates Iongwood's support, to Virginia artists and to the museum, as well as enabling the college to secure a fine painting for our school. No other institution in Virginia has a collection of Virginia artists' paintings exclusively, although most every college owns some fine originals. The only ordinal work of art now owned by Longwood is the bronze •loan of Arc presented to the colitis bv its creator, Anna Hyatt Huntington. It is hoped, also, that the seleetion made will be so well-liked that other student groups who wish to present some gift of lasting loveliness and lncreasln lie to the College will add to the fund for the purchase of paintings by Virginia artists.
