Opportunity Knocks Tomorrow nivrh* Longwood students will be given an opportunity to see one of the nation's most outstanding dance troupes led by the noted artist and choreographer, •lean Krdman. This concert) the second program in the 1952 Artist Series, will give many girls their first taste of modern dance. An evening that should prove both entertaining and educational is in store for those who lake advantage of the opportunity being offered them. Longwood girls are interested in becoming better informed individuals with a well-rounded knowledge and understanding ol all fields. Thus, they should welcome a chance to acquaint themselves with another form of art. Many may ask, "Will this artists program receive only the meager response that was given s well known speaker in the firsi program of the series?" We would like t<> answer that question with a loud, linn, "No!" We hope that no one will stay away from the concert merely because they don't understand modern dance. There will be

few in the audience who do. An appreciation for and an understanding of any one of the arts grows only through experience. However, all art forms — painting, music, drama, dance--appeal to the senses, and one can have an enjoyable sensory experience without actually understanding the medium he is witnessing. Those who will be seeing modern dance for the first time tomorrw night should not try to look for too much and should not expect to fully understand what they see. Instead, they should enjoy the color, the costumes, the music, the beautiful movement. They should look for a movement theme similar to the theme one hears repeated in a symphony or the color note one finds repeated in a great painting. If the student body will attend the concert with open minds, seeking to develop an appreciation of another form of art, they will undoubtedly enjoy the experience. We feel sure that Longwood girls will avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy this nationally acclaimed dance group, so we'll see you there!

Congratulations Eisenhower Yesterday the people of the United Stales went to the polls and elected a fellow citizen to serve for the next four years as President of their country. A few Longwood students were able to participate in the decision of this close race for the nation's highest office, and certainly far more than a few have been following closely the developments of the campaigns of either or both of the major candidates. Now that the American people have indicated their choice of a leader, there is little expectation that the Electoral Collage will make a decision contrary to the popular vole. And so it is hoped that our happy new President elect will look upon his victory with humility and determination rather than pride and vanity. America hopes that he will begin making plans of activity—activity that will hurry the many improvements and changes that are needed in our government. Perhaps, If America has chosen wisely, he will even be a man who ::in place nation before Tarty and thus overcome a great barrier to nation-wide progress. Whether or not our new President was your Choice in the election should now become a matter of no Importance. Now is

Safety First? Last week during the monthly fire drill, a sleepy freshman took a painful tumble down the rotunda steps. This accident reopened the eyes of the student body to the presence of a hazard that every Longwood girl becomes only too well aware the first time she walks up to second floor Rotunda. Right in the center of our college plant is a flight of stairs that would horrify any safety inspcetor! These stairs with their worn and warpi d boards have caused countless falls in past years. To walk down them in heels is a dare-devil feat that causes one to take her life in her hands. Yet, despite the obvious evidence that they are dangerous, nothing has been done to improve their condition. It is almost as if some one were clinging to them like a treasured tradition. Thus, we are happy to report that Dr. Lancaster is aware of the need for an impro\ I'm. u! in this much-used flight of stairs. He was not able to secure an appropriation from the State last spring to have them completely replaced. However, he plans to remedy their condition with the aid of the carpenter shop. It is gratifying to know that the administration is looking out for our welfare, and we hope that Dr. Lancaster will carry out his plans in the very near future—before anyone else takes a tumble!

Longwood students would like to issue a vote of thanks to those who instigated the plan of organized singing in the dining hall. Thil college has long been noted for the spirit which is indicated in the spontaneity of its singing on various occasions. All students should be indeed proud of this distinction. However, there are certain occasions when loud and spirited song is definitely in poof taste. And so it is a genuine improvement to have ■ committee who will gi\c some forethought tO thS desired atphere Of certain special mealtimes, and plan a program of music that can be enjoyed by everyone in the dining hall (not merely those who are participating!).

by Anne Marie Gray Many of us have noticed a certain gray haze In the air during the past week. At first some of us thought that the overcast might be a prediction of snow; however, the sky continued to be gray and we know now that it means something much woise — forest firts! To many of us forest fires are so remote that they leave us unconcerned. We should wake no to the fact that they do untolu damage and leave their b'ack scars on our once green countryside. i-all Is usually a dry season >iO it Is only natural that fires will be Ignited easily. This autumn Virginia and her neighbors have experienced more than their average share of forest fires. The hardets-hlt areas have been the southwest and Dismal Swamp -eglon. The rains helped in curbing the current fires, but they alone are not enough. Help In saving precious timber, crops, homes, and 1'vo.s must come from precaution on man's part. Of course, we here In college are not responsible for and cannot account for some fire hazards, but we can heed the signs on the highways when we are driving to or from a football game or a weekend at home, by not toning iuhted matches or cigarettes f rom car windows. Let's keep Virginia green!

LC Library Displays Exhibit About Dance "Dance Has Many Faces" is the title of the exhibit now being featured In the main room of the college library.

Included in the exhibit are recordings of Swan Lake and Appalachian Spring, books about famous ballet artists. reproductions of well - known paintings and photographs of several of the members of the Longwood dance group, Orchesls. The theme of the display was chosen at this time in the hope that It would Interest the student body in the modern dance concert being presented tomorrow night as part of the Artist Series.
