For over a week now the 225 HI w additions in Longwood'fl student body have met with a barrage of v • l< om i nd wi i of advice. Now freshmen and tn along with the "old girls," are i d to ettle down to the routine of college life. Though the stre IUOUS orii ntation w» k i pai i. the test of the ucce of the pr >m is yel to come. The classes, tours, and parties designed to acquaint the new with the old have given manj of the new student i a feelina of confidence and contentmi i 'i in i i .i ii hould I"', bul lei at warn thai there many be pitfalls ahead and offer a few word of sage advice and comfort. As newly-made schedules are followed, the recenl high school graduate will i H n be faced with the fad thai differences I tween high school and college classes are many. Ii will take most of the new red and whites a while to gel used to the thret class schedule. Many who breezed through high school courses without "cracking" a hook will find il necessary to spend much more timeout of class in preparing lessons.
Lecture style teaching which requires rapid note taking may be a new experience f< r many. However the art of getting good class notes is one that should lie mastered and the sooner the better.

I erhaps the most helpful hint we can pass on to the new girls is that they gel out and make friends, because the best way to insure a happy college carer is to be friendly. It Is easy to just stick with the other girls from one's home town, but the wise girl accepts the golden opportunity that college offers to meet girls from varied Insure a happy college career is to be friendbackgrounds. Longwood has a long tradition of friendliness and it is up to each new student to uphold this reputation. No doubt the freshmen will stumble upmany more problems other than the here cited. There is, however, the comforting thought that there are many to whom they can turn for help—the Dean of Women, their faculty idvisor, their bifl sisters, or any upperclassmen. Good luck, new students, we're expecting great things of you.

travel through Farmville by train this week. Whether or not General Eisenhower is the most desirable candidate is not for the ROTUNDA to say. However, as the newspaper of Longwood College, the ROTUNDA Is vitally concerned with whether or not tin students show the interest and enthusiasm that can and should be expected of a group of prospective voters. There is a possibility that, if an impressive number of persons were present at the Farmville Railway Station, General Eisenhower would make a whistle-stop ipeech. Whether or not a person prefers Eisenhower, Stevenson, or even ones of the minor party candidates is important, but no more so than the fact that the seldom granted opportunity of hearing a speech by a candidate for the Presidency of the United State- lies open to Longwood students. It is up to them whether this opportunity will Income a reality.

Open Letter
i N ar Freshman, The spirit of Longwood is as old as our Bchool itself and is not equaled in any other institution. It is an off-spring of our early founders and has lived here with each of us year aft< r year. Maybe you wonder how it has lived so long. The answer to that is simple—we have never given it a chance to die. It is so much a part of our school and our daily lives that it is everywhere about us. It doesn't leave like our senior- do each .car but it stays around all summer waiting for you, our freshmen, and Incoming classes have yet to fail to pick il up and carry it through their four years. The LongWOOd spirit meets-each new girl at the entrance of the Rotunda. It begins with the cherry 'Hello" of the "Y" eirls and is carried through by the administration and faculty and all Upper* Classmen who try so hard to make each new Student feel that she is at home. Then, before you know it. you are at home. We are all so happy to have you a part of our LongWOOd spirit and welcome ymi from the bottom of our hearts. You have already picked up the spirit and we know you will carry it with you through this year and those to come. Sincere best wishes from all of us,
LUCY WEDNESDA1

for. the new students' attention and service. 1'reshinen should beware that dread undergraduate disease "joining fever." We don't advocate an "I want to be alone" approach, but we do suggest that each new student take care to go slowly and choose wisely the activity that appeals to her most. 11 she follows this advice, she will find herthe possessor of a well-balanced college life, acceptable grades, and good health.
Now's Your Chance election day to which many pivs-mt-day College students have long looked forward to as their first opportunity to VOte, cries of "I like Ike" and "We need Adlai badly"

CHESTERFIELD
FIRST PREMIUM QUALITY CIGARETTE TO OFFER BOTH REGULAR & KING-SIZE BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfields the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy —nothing else. BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily good taste and, from the report of a well-known research organization — no unpleasant after-taste.
Smooth as the gat in it . . . Here, with liny, puffed sleeves, teml-decollete'neckline, sparkling starfish scatter pins. Definitely dreamyl Gold, Black, Red, Royal.
BOTH are exactly the same in all respects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger —contains considerably more of the same tobaccos — enough more to give you a 21% longer smoke, yet costs very little more.
