how much thought or con-
sideration will be given to the qualifications and abilities of the various candidates? Surely, one must realize that to be nominated for a major or minor office la an honor within itself, and is an indication that the nominating committee feels confident that the candidate is Capable of holding office. But, if you. as the voter, depend upon this as the only basis for selection, then the voting process will be no more than the closing of your eyes and marking the ballot, according to your opinion of the nominee's popularity or appearance. Is this a time basis for selection? Campaigning, in the usual sense, is not demonstrated at LongWOOd. There are no posters, speeches, or "hading out of cigars" present in our election system. Since this campaigning process Is abwnt, it is understandable thai many students are ignorant of the candidates' qualifications. Then what qualifications, you may ask. need to
to be considered. First of all, the candidate must have the ability to carry on all functions and duties of the ollice, and the ability to conduct herself wisely and judiciously. Secondly, she must possess a willingess to (any out these functions, and an ambition to see her organization progress. To carry out this advancement, she must actually be able to introduce new ideas and projects. The ability to RSl along with others, and work co-operatively is another important qualification. In this, she should possess a pleasing manner, an open mind, and a courteous and a tactful attitude. Her leadership should be representative of her or-
ganization. The last and probably one of the most important qualifications is the ability of the candidate to follow and rasped the leadership of officers in various other orizations, and be willing to share the load of work and problems which occur. Popularity has no place In the way you vote! When election time arrives, will these qualifications be considered? You, as the voter, will be marking the ballot,—only you can answer this question!
Could Martin do without Lewis or the Post Ollice without Charlie?—No. Neither could the newspaper do without its: circulation staff, which is definitely the backbone of the Rotunda. Many people, however, do not realize the importance of this staff to the newspaper because of the back seat it apparently occupies. In considering this, a clear understanding of the organization of any newspaper is needed—that pattern consisting of the editorial staff and business staff. Specified ones of us write features, editorials, and news. On the other hand, the business staff is concerned with advertising, circulation, and the handling of money. Although these two have jobs distinctly different they must, neverthless, work together for one could not stand without the other. Both are necessary for the success of any newspaper. The circulation staff has many jobs it must undertake, all of them centering around one objective—getting the newspaper to its readers. For the importance of any newspaper—the Rotunda no exception—lies in the reading of it. Those serving on the circulation staff now deserve much credit for the work they have done. However, this group has been greatly handicapped by having too much tc do and too few people to do it. Because of this the staff cannot put their best into their jobs and therefore flaws occur, complaints are made, and subscribers don't get their papers. This staff sends out papers to Bubscirbers, alumnae, and advertising services; takes the papers to the dining hall, faculty, and town students; and mails out the paper to prospective high school ll lldents. Although there may be little material gain or glory, in this last, it offers the satisfaction of knowing that an important job is being well done. You would be just as much a part of the Rotunda as its editor for you moved the paper to the public! WY need your help. These jobs are not hard and could be done quickly and easily if there were an adequate number to do them. If you are Interested in this and feel that this is an important iDBUe this would be worthwhile way to use your time. Think about it.

By BARR1 LANCASTER, JR. Longwood is only one of several state educational institutions and since we are all Virginia citizens, perhaps you would like to know about another state institution where your writer has attended "summer school." Perhaps it seems quite different from Longwood, but in many ways it is quite similar. As you drive along the highway between Waynesboro and Staunton in the Shenandoah Valley, you may notice a large group of buildings located near the small town of Fishersville They were built during World War II for casualties of the Battle of the Bulge and comprised the Woodrow Wilson Army General Hospital. In 1947 they were acquired by the Commonwealth of Virginia and they are now jointly operated by the State and Augusta County as the Woodrow Wilson Educational Center, which is composed of the High School, the Technical School, and the Rehabilitation Center Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center, better known to its students as WWRC. consists of fiftytwo buildings or about one-third of the Educational Center. Its purpose is "to provide vocational diagnosis and counseling, physical restoration, and job training to the severely disabled so that they may resume suitable employment and return to normal life." In other words, WWRC tries to make the physically handicapped as independent as possible. The majority of its students attend the Technical School where they learn a trade such as watch repairing, shoe repairing, barbenng. hair dressing, auto body and fender work, and sewing to name a few The working day lasts from 8 a.

Snack Bar Sets Play Mood

By PAT KF.LI.Y I was sitting in my usual place in the snack bar. I say usual because I spend about ninety per cent of my time there. The other ten per cent is spent in sleeping and attending classes: basketweaving, advanced bridge, boatrowing, kite flying and appreciation of Jazz, The latter is taught by the noted Dr. Richard Realgone. member of the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin St At the next table sat my close friends, Betty Bridge. Fanny FinTrudy Trump, and Barbara Bid. They were indulging in their favorite pastime—(can't you guess what? i That noise! What was coming down the steps? A herd of elephants'' No, it was my classmates, Alice Athlete, Phyllis Phys. Ed., and Molly Muscles striding down for a big orange. Allowing five minutes out of the day between 11:54 and 11:59 for a quick "pick-up," Sally Studious and Beatrice Bookish hurriedly choked down their black coffee while reviewing their notes for the next class. There Is a television set, Char!• \ Channel. Al Antenna, and Vera Video had just settled down in their accustomed positions for another exciting episode of "Mary Backstage. Noble Wife.'' "Hunt for
Yesterday." "Life Can Be Miserable." and other so-called entertainment. In another corner of the rec Lily Lightfoot and Bobby Ballet were at it aagln. This time they were shagging to the tune of "Who's My Pa-pa." Their drtncing was brought to a halt when Hannah Housemother pulled the plug. Just as I arose to take lean of the snack bar until tomorrow morning Rena Rec called out. "See you around the campus. Sally Snackbar."

Represent mi; Warwick City and York County. Mrs. Winder, supervisor of instruction will be at ■rood to Interview prospective teachers on March 3. All seniors who are interested in this area should make an appointment with Mrs Mary W. Watkins. executive secretary and la-ad of the Longwood Placemen! Bureau. Several states other than Virginia have sent requests to the Bureau for prospective teachers. These include New Jersey, California Michigan and government work in the Hawaiian Islands. Any students interested should contact Mrs. Watkins.
Faculty To Visit V a. High Schools The program of high school violations by Longwood faculty and administration members to various secondary schools throughout the state is continuing tins week.
Northern Neck schools will be visited Friday by Mr. Raymond French, instructor In chemistry, who will act as a public relations informant for Longwood. Included in the group are Tappahannock, Warsaw, and Farnham high schools. He will also visit Heathsville High School in Northumberland County. Mrs. Meade Shackleford. director of public relations, will attend "College Day" at Culpeper tomorrow. Last Monday. Mrs. Shackelford. attended "College Night'" at Stafford County High School.
Of Interest i Continued from page 2i ment. an assembly once a month, and a student newspaper although it was inactive last summer. The student body at first glance seems to be a conglomeration of persons. Some look perfectly normal; others are on crutches, in wheel chairs, or on stretchers: still others are minus arms, hands, fingers, or legs. They are not such a glamorous or handsome group to look at; however, you get the general impression that you are pretty lucky to be as well off as you are. After you stay there awhile, you become inured to the grotesqueness and get acquainted with them. Fate has dealt them some hard blows but they do not feel sorry for themselves. They are determined to tight back and to continue to fight back. You cannot help but admire their intestinal fortitude. Another thing you notice is that they are not very different from yourself. Some of
them are married; they often have dates with each other; one girl married a VP graduate this summer in the chapel. The staff at WWRC constantly tries to help the student become more mature, independent and helps them to learn themselves. This. I think, is one of the most important aspects of WWRC; for no matter how good the buildings or equipment are, if the staff of teachers are not capable and do not assume the correct attitude toward their work, the school will not fulfill its purpose. We can be justly proud of cur State for making available the type of services provided at WWRC.
