The spirit of theatrical history will li\e again Monday night, October 2fl, when the Barter Theatre presents "The Living Theatre'* in John's Auditorium. This program is tanned aa "something decidedly new and different" in the theatrical world. "Living Theatre" will present the dramatic conflicts in the minds of men from the days of Pericles of Athens to those of Czar Alexander II of Russia, and Arthur Miller's modern tragedy, "Death of a Salesman." The program also will include the flippancy of some of the best comedies in the history of drama. In the "Living Theatre" one has the opportunity to view the most potent scenes from the world's best writings -"Antigone." "Julius I aesar." "The Rivals," "Cyrano de Hergerac." and several other plays of equal stature. In a single performance the cream of the world's theatre for three thousand years passes before one's eyes. Gem-sis in 1932 The Barter Theatre's beginning date- 'nek to the long, lean summer days of 32; a period typified by the expression, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" The birth of the Barter Is the .story of Robert Porterfield. the fertile-brained, energetic founder When the sting of the depression tin the New York theatre. Porterfield, along with twenty-four other actors, left gaudy Broadway and set up shop in the back country in Abingdon, Va. It was he who came up with the idea of a theatre for which admission would be paid in produce of any kind. In return for which the actors would provide entertainment. Hence, the name, Barter Theatre. The first season wound up in the black. On hand were $4 30 In cash and quantities of jellies and Jams. The playwrights were paid olf in hams in lieu of royalty. In the spring of 1946 the state of Virginia agreed to lend support to the Theatre. In 1949 the Baiter movement catapulted into the international scene, giving a production of "Handel" at Kronborg Castle in Elsinore. Denmark This was the first American production ever presented in the historical castle immortalized by Shakespeare. One of the most coveted awards in the American theatN is the Barter Theatre of Virginia Award. It is for an outstanding performance by an actor or actress during the curiContinued on pair 4'
College Receives Physical Changes During '56 Summer During the summer and continuing through the first part of the fall session of school many physical Improvements have been made here at Longwood. The legislature granted Longwood an appropriation of $36,700 for remodeling the kitchen. Most of this money is going to be used to build a dish washing room with completely new equipment and also to install a ventilation system. The remainder will be used to buy additional equipment until another appropriation is granted. The dining hall has also been improved by the addition of a new roof. Re-wiring will soon take place throughout Ruffner Hall and part of Library Hall Each room will be equipped with two double receptacles. The Alumnae House has been remodeled and partially refurnished This has been accomplished for the most part through the contributions of the different alumnae. A central storeroom has also been made available for the storage of household supplies. This is lo< Continued on page 4>
Rotunda Becomes Convention Hall For Student Mock Election Campaign Campaign plans are underway for the Student Government's Mock Election to be held on November I. This date Is a correction of the previously announced date of October 31. Th Rotunda of Longwood College has taken on the aspect of a convention hall with the appearance of cardboard figures to represent the three parties. These figures, the well-known Democratic donkey, Republican elephant, and a miniature state of Virginia for the newly formed States' Rights Party, along with various posters have been received with great enthusiasm by the student body. On Saturday, October 27, a car representing each party will be In the Circus Parade. The cars will be very elaborately decorated and will carry students representing the three candidates. These students will be masked and costumed In order to appear as similar to their
candidate as possible. This is expected to be a spectacular addition to the annual Circus Parade. Before the election, student demonstrations will be carried on In the dining hall and through the dormitories. On the day of the balloting the polls will be open from 16 p. m. Members of the three different parties will serve at the precincts, and the ballots will be marked secretly In official voting booths. "These national parties are interested in our letting them know how the voting goes here. We are hopinR there will be one hundred per cent voting among those who did register", disclosed Election Chairman. Jo Davis. "From the assembly program It looks as though there will be because of the enthusiastic reaction there. Everyone Is urged to support her own candidate In conversation as well as In voting."

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24. \'.m
Birthday Best? Last night's birthday dinner was a welcome event for students who are filled with expectations and anticipations of the nearing A KG Circus. The booming carnival music and the gaily-decorated dining hall gave a perfect festive atmosphere. Members of the Junior Class are to be congratulated for this addition to the week's excitement. However, one of the places which put the unintentional rudeness of some students in the limelight id in the dining hall during the monthly birthday dinners. Each birthday dinner is planned by some group or organization for the enjoyment of the students. Sunday attire is worn, a special menu has been planned, a birthday tribute is sung to those having birtInlays during the month, and entertainis presented by talented students or guests. It is during the entertainment that students have displayed impoliteness by their iiiattentiveness, talking, and clattering of plates. Some motion in the hall cannot be avoided, but talking, even whispering,
could be saved until the selections are over. Erom the accompanying applause it is evident that the entertainment presented during these dinners is enjoyed and appreciated by students. Therefore, the inattentiveness sometimes shown is not in keeping with this evidence. Students should remember that noise is greatly magnified in a large place and a culmination of 800 conversations can easly give the appearance of rudeness to the entertainer. Enjoyment can best be shown by attention. Of the utmost rudeness is leaving the dining hall before the completion of the dinner. Students have much to do and many places to go, but it has always been the custom for them to remain seated until the main door has been opened as a signal that the meal is over. It would be good for students to keep in mind that the goal and reward of birthday dinners is the enjoyment of those attending. Your "birthday best" is expected.
Misunderstanding Mentioned Of growing concern to the Administration is a misunderstanding which lias arisen concerning use of the 2 a. m. bus into Eannville on Monday morning. It seems that students are taking advantage of I privilege which has been given only in special cases at the discretion of the Dean. The bus schedule from Richmond to Eannville makes it very difficult for a student to make desirable connections from her weekend destination. How.\er. weekend plans should lie made with the existing bus schedule in mind. There are several reasons for discouraging use of the 2 a. in. bus. The foremost reason i- the fact thai in meeting this bus, as is the custom, the ni^ht-watchman is
