By PAT JONES The annual big day has arrived!' Tickets for the Better Film Series ire here end students may begin to pick them up immediately from any member of Alpha Psi Omega. To freshmen the Belter Film Series is new. and we who have watched its growth would like to ■hare MOM of the excitement which Is aroused bv the annual sale of season tickets The idea of bringing these better films to FarmvOk Originated several yea's ago when a number of itudenta en our campus followed the film projects on other college campuses. Becoming interested In, starting a similar program here at; Lonswood, these students began discussing the possibility. After a number of false starts, the group of students met. and under the sponsorship of some faculty members, formed the organization which was called the Better Films Committee This commit tie was composed of representatives of Beorc Eh Thom, Orchcsis. the Choir, the Spanish Club, and the French Club. After submitting its choices of movies, the committee worked with the management of the local theaters and proposed to book six of the suggested films for the school year. The first article concerning the' films was printed in the Rotunda in | April 1954: The newspaper said: "The Series offers an opportunity to ear college community which has not been offered before, although the French and Spanish departments have approached It individually. It Is the idea of bringing in the better films to Farmville, which we might otherwise miss seeing. | "Henry V." and "The Bicycle' Thief" are some of the great films of all times. They can be brought to Farmville if students and townpeople are sufficiently interested." The reactions were favorable ■ tnd the Better Films Series' was off to a successful start. Such' movies as "Gates of Hell." "The Bicycle Thief." "Bread. Love, and Dreams," "The Cruel Sea," and, now "Romeo and Juliet" have been | in the Series Many changes have been made in Ihe original organization. Since its beginning.

WENDKSDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1956
Unaware Upperclassmen it eema appropriate amidst innumerable efforts and preparations designed to make the freshmen feel al home and welcome al Longwood, to reflecl a moment on somi thing which we as upperclassmen have perhaps "slipped up" OH.
The Freshman Class, like every other . la . has a special room which is Mt aside as their parlor and sitting! room. Because of its convenient location for all students. the freshman parlor lias became a daytime home for upperclassmen between classes. In fore and after im-als, and tor a variety of
small group meetings, the use of the freshman parlor by upperclassmen is i tnosl overshadowed by their abuse of the parlor during their use of it. Coke bottles are accumulated by the dozen, cigarette .-, hi become embedded in the rug and slip covers, hooks are piled up on the furniture, and the furniture is moved around to suit the particular group which is using it at any time. It seems that this action has been going on for some time and for the most part without complaint from the freshmen. However, it indicates a lack of considera-
tion from the upperclassmen, who are wellequipped with parlors and recreation halls of their own. It is time for the upperclassmen to become aware that this room is the only room which belongs specifically to the fre.hmen and is set up for their use. If
upperclassmen kept this in mind, they could hardly feel comfortable in continuing to use this room as a general lounge, waiting room, and conversation place. This is a place for freshmen and their dates— one they want to be proud of. There are other places convenient to students for purposes of waiting, smoking, and talking. The second floor of the Rotunda is equipped with chairs and the snack bar has ample space for all. Rather than to risk having the freshman parlor locked during the daytime hours, it would be more desirable for the sophomores, juniors and seniors to resolve to respect the parlor as a freshman possession, and, if the occasion arises for upperclassmen to use it, to treat it as such. A little cooperation along this line would go a long way towards showing the freshmen how welcome they are.
By My Spirit In the quietness of the Episcopal Church P dinner the illuminated altar, the bowed he.nIs and folded hands, and the softness of the mellow organ music blend into a fellow-hip and meditation with Cod.
To everj Longwood girl this is the high. ,• day: to be with thi M.i iter and to hear His voice. Then the ii i; silenced and we hear the voice of .one from our campus who has a that she would share.
. ei ing we hear the voice of our "i. v, ( . \. "Prayer is for you and we need i support of prayer and Ei\ srj one i-- welcome to conduct a meditation one i ■ ' i to |i|rht the candles on the altar. The responsibilitj of Prayers is upon each
of us, especially in the fact that we all must strive to help keep the Episcopal Church in order. Let us be sure that all the lights are turned off and that the inner and outer doors are closed if we are the last to leave. If we wish to continue the privilege of Prayers in this church, we must obey the wishes of those who have given us the privilege of using their sanctuary. We believe that you will cooperate with us. Let us pray ..." The music of the organ again fills the sanctuary and the motto of the Y. W. C. A. may he heard as it is prayerfully repeated. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts." Belle Fitzgerald
