Significant changes in the ■ourses of study will be incorporated in the new catalogue of the college and will be put Into 3ffect beginning with the next academic year according to Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster, president. These changes are a result of the completion of a two-year curriculum study made by the Longwood faculty. The study has consisted of a self-analysis and an inquiry into the nature of course offerings and methods of presenting course content. Dr. Lancaster stated that "The faculty has come to appreciate more fully the work done in the college by the rest of the faculty." Broader and more liberal programs will be offered in all curricula, he states. Duplications and minutiae in course work have been largely eliminated as a result of the study. It will be possible, therefore, to offer more elective hours to students in elementary and secondary curricula. According to Dr. Lancaster, elementary education majors may also take a major in a subject-matter field of their own choosing. Likewise, secondary education majors may now take enough hours of subjects to beome qualified to teach on the elementary level where the greatest shortage of teachers still exists. The Longwood College curriculum study Is part of a cooperative enterprise among a number of colleges in the State. Radford College, Madison College, Longwood, Lynchburg College. Virginia State College, and the education departments of William and Mary and the University of Virginia initiated the original program.
Notice The Rotunda Staff extends their heartiest congratulations to Miss Gwendolyn Early on the birth of her three bundles of Joy.

The elevators and revolving doors of the Taft Hotel were in action constantly with the fast moving traffic of the L. C. travelers. While some groups toured Rockefellow Center, others went to see the fancy stepping Rocket-
tes at Radio City Music Hall Others wandered through China town peering Into dark dingy shops, that were filled with more curious objects than you could look at on one visit The general opinion was that gas n should be furnished for tours. Chinatown by any other name would still smell. After the first subway ride, all fear of these underground monsters was either quelled or developed into hysterics, but most of us found them a wonderful means of getting from one place to another In a hurry, especially when going to the Staten Island Ferry or Coney Island Where else can you ride so far. so fast, and see so many people for ten cents. Some of our tourLsts were fascinated by the Automats. They're like big post offices with tables, only food comes In the boxes Instead of mall. You drop your nlcklee In a slot, open the little

THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1952

The Books Balance Many people have complained during the past year that the Rotunda has been printing too many ads, that often times all the news has not been published, and that the paper has appeared too seldom. We of the stair have been doubly sorry that such money saving devices have had to be employed. We hated to feel that we were not giving the student body what they wanted and expected in their school paper and it hurt our pride to publish a paper that fell below our own standards of excellence. However, as has been pointed out to the students before, we were forced to adopt these measures because we began the year with a debt of nearly $350 and faced rising prices with no hope of a similar rise in income. We saw no other way to balance our
reply to our plea a generous donation totaling $230. Now we are happy to announce that oiu "penny-pinching" has paid dividends — that your contributions were not in vain. As we near the end of the 1951-52 school year the Rotunda finds itself out of the red and at last solvent. We thank the student body, faculty, and administration for their patience and generosity as the Rotunda struggled to balance its books. However, we must add to our thanks a dampening note. Though we have reached the end of this year with balanced books, our outlook for next year i>none too bright. There is little chance that our income will increase and it is p. certainty that our expenses will not drop. Therefore, once again we must ask that our read books. Thus, we have economized by cutting ers accept an ad crowded bi-weekly. The staff has appreciated the underpublication to a bi-weekly schedule and by printing more ads. This has meant that we standing attitude which you—the student have had less space for news items and body and administration—have displayed that many groups have been left out. Fur- in the past and hope that you will continue thermore, we were forced to turn to the -to cooperate with us during the coming students for financial aid and received in year.
Keep Singing LongWOOd wouldn't be Longwood without its many and varied songs. Whenever and wherever a few college girls gather, there are sure to be voices raised in song, accompanied by ukelele, piano, phonograph, or just by clapping of hands in time with the music. Visitors to Longwood have noted this as one of the outstanding features of that famous Longwood spirit. Those who have come to our campus this year have been heard on more than one occasion to praise and approve the Longwood "songbirds." They have sometimes expressed amazement at the spontaneity of "Green 'n White" and "Red 'n White." It has been noted that no one in particular seems to start a song; it just begins and everyone joins in. Singing has long been a favorite pastime on this campus. Joining in a song serves several purposes for students. In the first place, it's just plain fun to sing and its a good way of "letting off steam." If you have any energy left after a day of strain and toil at the training school or an evening among the math books, singing
with the crowd is a means of relaxation. Many occasions demand a song or a serenade at Longwood because singing is a method of showing our appreciation to class teams, a faculty member, or a sister class. A serenade extends Longwood hospitality to the visiting S. C. A., or a new freshman class. Most of all, singing is a unifying element that brings the student body together in all activities. Many people have remarked about the number of songs in the college collection. Many of these songs are original, having been written for various occasions, by talented members of the student body. For seniors singing in the rec, or anywhere else with an LC crowd, will soon be a cherished memory. Underclassmen have another few years of serenades yet to come. For all, singing together has been a wonderful part of Longwood life and a part that not only the student body but visitors and others have enjoyed. It is a wonderful way to express school spirit—it is part of Longwood tradition — so continue your singing, girls!
You'll Be Sorry Longwood's sunbathing craze has long been a tradition, perhaps a wise one, for who more than a group of girls who have "weathered" a winter of indoor activity, needs the good health and lifted morale that a good suntan affords? Yes, many are the advantages of this almost perpetual basking in the sun that has become the Longwood girl's current favorite past-time; however, for the unthinking, Impatient young lady whose main purpose is to get as 'brown" as possible in

as short a time as possible, many are the disadvantages. Secondly, even if she had all the time in the world and not a thing to do with it. no girl can subject herself to such concentrated doses of direct heat from the sun without doing what might be serious damage to her health. Medical authorities today say that a person who wishes to acquire a beautiful ,as well as a healthful tan, should begin by staying in the sun only a few minutes at the time and gradually increase the length of her sunbaths until she reaches a half-hour. If a girl is so shortsighted as not to be concerned with her health, the fact that an overdose of sunburn does definite damage to her personal appearance should be of some concern to her. A glimpse of some few Of Longwood*! most conspicuous specimens of broiled humanity should prove that even a lily white skin presents a better personal appearance, even in its paleness, than does the beet-red skin that is almost always prerequisite to blistering and peeling. It is hoped that all of Longwood's students will take advantage of these wonderful warm days of spring, but it is also hoped that those who have not already done 10, will not trade their health, their stud their personal appearances, for a ttm hours of sunbathing that can result only in discomfort and an unpleasing appearance.
