Let's take a trip to some of the other colleges by means of our newspaper exchange system and see what is happening on other campuses at the beginning of a new year. The students at Emory and Henry are planning to broadcast a variety of programs over station WGLG: basketball games, Emory church services for the "shut-ins" on Sundays, and a new feature, Platter Party", an afternoon of popular music, will be produced and announced by the students At Randolph-Macon, 13 of their 413 students are from foreign countries. Nine of these are from Thailand; Argentina, Japan, Korea, and Malaya are each represented by one student. Going north, we find that Central Michigan College with an enrollment of 2,099 has gained the title of the "friendliest college in the country." This is certainly a credit to their school and perhaps with more effort, Longwood College could appear on the mythical list of friendly colleges.
