THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1953
Thank-You Whoever started the now familiar saying "give credit where credit i.s due" was a wise person indeed. I redit la now due to both the administration and students of LongWOOd College. What is ull of this recognition for? It all centers around the Artist Series programs which have been presented at Longwood this yeur. Beginning in October, there was a lecture by Air. .lack Kilpatrick editor of the Richmond Sewn Leader. The Jean Kidman dance troupe was featured on November 6; then, in December, the Don Cossack Chorus was presented. The well-known organist Virgil Fox gave a concert on February 3; and just la i night the Mozart Orchestra was presented to close the current Artists series. It is not an easy task to secure good, well-rounded entertainment for a college at the present time. When the administration was planning the Lyceum programs for this year, they were confronted with many problems. They had to consider the type of entertainment that we as the student body would like and the cost of bringing this entertainment to us. Hut despite these problems, they have presented live excellent programs which included some of the country's finest artists.
Orchesis Presents---
Recall for a moment the excitement you felt when you beheld the excellent timing and rhythm of the Don Cossacks and heard the beautiful organ performance of Virgil Fox. Do you remember the gracefulness of the Jean Erdman dancers? The administration truly deserves a great vote of thanks for the time and effort in planning the programs for the student j body, because it is evident that foremost in their minds was the thought of bringing to US the things that we would most enjoy. When we give recognition and credit, the student body of this College cannot be overlooked. Without the students the Lyceum programs could not have been successful. Although the attendance at the first program of he Scries was not what it should have been, it is evident that the majority of the student body has realized b now that the programs were planned for their benefit and that it is their responsibility and, even more so, their privilege to show their appreciation and support. So to both administration and students a great big "thanks" is given. Without the administration we would not have had any programs and without the support of the student body, they would not have been successful.
Peace? Is there a hope for peace? With the actual signing of an agreement by the Allies and Reds for the exchange of sick ami wounded prisoners of war and with this fact constituting the most hopeful news we have heard in a long time from the Korean front, many students have been overheard expressing various points of view on this new situation. Some students have said that a full Korean peace is definitely in the making, now that the initial step has been taken. On the oilier hand.-many are still dubious as to the outcome. Taking the human interest point of view, si.me say that it is only natural for the Reds to want their prisoners back as much as we want ours. Hut the question is, for what purpose'.' One Student voiced the opinion that there would actually be no peace if both sides retreated for one mile (after a signing of an armistice) and gazed over the hill looking for sudden attack from the other force. Similarly, moreover, editors and columnists of both newspapers and news magazines have written articles concerning arguments for and against "chances of peace". The United States and West Germany have cautioned the free world against any relaxation of vigilance in the face of Soviet peace proposals'," reports one columnist. Evan with the pro and con attitudes of lents here and people all over the world, there are basic facts which must be con• i.leied. What are these facts? % First, unless there is a new breakdown,
the program could be: I.) Agreement on the exchange of sick and wounded. L'.l Renewal Of full armistice negotiations.
S.) Agreement onvoluntrj repatriation of all prisoners after an armistice, those unwilling to return being placed m temporary CUStodj Of a neutral nation.

4.) Armistice. Second, the agreement which was signed last Sunday means the return of the first freed Americans to the United States this month. Third, 600 Allied prisoners and 120 Americans wil be returned to the United Nations in exchange for 5,800 Communists. These reports are valid reasons for optimism. However, the Communists still will hold 12,000 Allied prisoners. The United Nations, likewise, will hold 132,000 prisoners. Of this number, however, 50,000 Reds do not wish to return to the Communist group. What effect will this have on the Reds? Will this exchange of prisoners be merely an even exchange with no meaning? Time can only tell. Until then, the eyes of the world will be focused on the Panmunjom negotiations—and the future world
peace.
Seek and Appreciate We have at our fingertips a source of pleasure and satisfaction in our daily lives. Surely the ability of many members of our student body to produce excellent work in every art form has been evident in many ways. There are many examples—the art exhibits displaying both paintings and crafts done by college students; the choir concerts given by a group of musicians that have rehearsed many long hours to produce a good program; the student recitals. Many weeks of preparation is the task of the participant! in any of these, for undoubtedly, they set high standards and must work hard to attain them. Yet few of us have shown the interest and understanding to attend, for example, the student recitals, although last Sundays program gave its listeners an hour of the serenist pleasure and satisfaction. Tomorrow night there will be given a modern dance recital that is the result of months of strenuous practice. Some of us protest that we know nothing of contemporary dance forms. How will vou learn unless you see for yWself, and then attempt to feel and understand of this art? In our college life we need to seek out the opportunities to have experince with dance, music, art. theater because these will bring greater meaning to our lives, enrich our personalities, strengthen our friendships. Let us take advantage of the opportunities presented to us on our campus and show our appreciation of those who present them.

Social Notes by Carolyn Stanley "Roses in the Moonlight' set the mood for the Cotillion Club dance Saturday nlgnt when the Cotillion members and their dates danced to the delightful music of Ralph Marterle. This was the biggest dance of the year for us— and the boys seemed to enjoy it, too. Hats off to all those, besides Mr. Marterle and his boys who helped in making the dance such a huge success. It seems that some people did heed my pre-Easter advice in poetry form — mayoe I should compose more often--no! no! Married: Betty Ooodson to Sonny Ashe. We all wish you mucn happiness.

Tech. Talking with Mr. Marterie. I found him to be a very charming person. His eyes danced when he talk sand it seems he is really enjoying what he is doing. "I hope you don't forget III after tonight. I hope you will ask ill to play for you again.'" commented Mr. Marterie. Also, lie stated that he liked Longwocd very nim-li. Surely Ralph Marterie will not be forgotten around tang wood for years to come and we do want lilm bark ■gain and again. Mr. Marterie leaves throngs of tarry-eyed people in his rake wherever he goes and now, cer'.ainly the girls of Longwood and their dates have Joined the fast Rowing group of Marterie tans There is always a certain magic about a new band such as Mr. Marterie's. Of course, there is a novelty of being new, but when you are new and you are as good is the Marterie band, you are as ,'ood as solid gold. He is called the "musician's mudcbUI" and that is readily understood after hearing Mr. Marterie's instrumentations. Everyone fell in love with its Dixieland style, but best of all they liked his dreamy music that seemed "to -ome from no where." If Mr. Marterie were here right now. we would say thanks for making Cotillion Dance meet our fondest dreams and expectations. Our hats are off to you. Mr. Ralph Marterie.

Many people have a hard time recuperating from holidays, but have you noticed a particular group with specially tinted circles under their eyes dragging around the campus? These are the New Yorkers trying to survive the greatest trip of all! Arriving in New York a week ago last Thursday night we soon fell into the swing of big city life and started our first tour—the Taft Hotel. The hotel is located right next to the Roxy Theater, only a block from Times Square so tnat was the starting point for our sight-seeing in New York. The next morning, after breakfast at the largest automat in New York, there were tours of Rockefeller Center, Radio Music Hall, where The Hampden-Sydney Jong- the Rockettes were playing, NBC, leurs, sponsored by Di. C. L. 8. Empire State and the UN BuildEarlcy presented a reading of Job ing. The plays on Broadway were in assembly yesterday. Models from Miss Katharine Tupper's sophomore, Junior and senior Home Economics classes will present a fasnion show in assembly on April 21. Ann Dudley, mistress of ceremonies, will introduce the girls, who will model the clothes they have made during the year. The show will feuiure sports wear, and formal atthe made in wool, cotton, and silk fabrics. Camp Pickett's Army Band will present a concert of inarch time music on Tuesday. April 28 announced Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster. 'This band has been touring this area and is considered to be very entertaining." he added.
mest entertaining and we all com! pared notes on what we had seen | and sang all the songs from "Guys ! and Dolls" and "The King and I" for days. Other plays that were .seen were "The Crucible," "Picnic." and "The Children's Hour," | also Tennessee Williams' new play "Camlno Real" and Rosalind Russell in "The Wonderful Town." Park Avenue. Fifth Avenue and Broadway were quite exciting j around the Easter season — we visited Macy's, Pox Perrier's, Best and Co.. and there was a darling little ring at Tiffany's for only S8.000, but I'd left my change purse in my hotel room. Saturday night many of us attended the Philharmonic Orchestra concert at Carnegie Hall with Dimitri Metropolus conducting assisted by Ellen Stecker: and Sunday morning a few of us attended the service at the Cathed-
lal of St. John the Divine — with the music of such a powerful organ blending with 6.000 voices in the "Hallelujah Chorus", one really felt the spirit of Easter. Seven] people attended the show at the Paramount where Patti Page was starring. This show was marked by Patti's forgetting the most important words to "The Doggie in the Window." —"Woof, Woof!" When Monday afternoon came ■ e all hated to leave, but were '.oo exhausted to argue much, and too broke to care. Many thanks ;o to Mr. Warrington for making »UT wonderful trip possible—we ill had a great time. And to those who ever plan to make the trip nay I leave a few words of advice —grab the first comfortable seat in the bus because the back seat and center aisle will never do.
