Absence Slip Become Unnecessary A most welcomed announcement was released by ,\ oi lal Dean M. II. Bittinger. Students will no longer have to Bign the customary abaense Blipa in the registrar's office. Each student knows her number of cuts for the seii]' i. r. Each person Is to take only this number, unless she ■.I.tains special permission for certain necessary absences. According to ll"' new plans, each professor will report the absences to the registrar's office. This will eliminate the double check of having hoth student and faculty reports of absences. However, in the past this double check Im not been a way of always showing a correct report. .Many - intents have not signed these absence slips, and some professors have not always kept a close count of student absences. We should better appreciate their trust in our own reporting of absences. In order for this new method to lie properly utilized the professors will have the responsibility of keeping accurate class attendance
records. The business of having to sign absence slips in the office caused much more clerical work. The new method should he a welcomed relief to both students and those who had to check these slips. But most of all, students will enjoy being allowed to us« their own mental bookkeeping of class cuts. The change is certainly worth a try. EC
Where Do You Fit In? During your slay so far here at Longwood. most of the new students as well as the old have seen the work of some of the organizations on this campus. Programs have been In lil for the expressed purpose of reviewing the activities which our organizations undertake each year. It is Important to realize several things as one approached possible membership in any organization. First, one should realize that belonging to other organizations is i definite par! of college life, secondly, that studying Is only one important part of being a student, and thirdly, I hat benefiting can come to not only the new member of an i] ranization, but to the organization itself. An important fact to consider is the amount of time membership in a certain group would require. Does that new activity require too much of one's studying time? On the other hand, one should ask the question: "What do I have to give the group, or what can I profit from the group?" Only you can best answer these questions; and in beginning your college stay, it is of great importance that you consider these piostions. So much of your happiness and what you "get out of college" depends upon thorn and your decisions now. When viewing work one would like to do in extracurricular activities, one should try to follow up those activities that are familiar. For example, if one has enjoyed music in high school, then the clmir or band should be utilized to follow up such inter.-Is. For those interested in dramatics, the Longwood Players provides-rich experience in this field. For those interested m writing. The Rotunda, the Colonnade, and the I iif/inian offer much variety and interest. These are only a few examples of college activities. As you new stud.'tits, transfers and Freshmen, begin your stay here at Longwood. make a special effort to seriously consider what groups you wish to become members of. Your talents are needed in all of our organizations, and JTOU need the organizations.

Many Have Big Weekends, Shown by Jewelry Displays By ERNESTINE ST0LTZ
Hi Gals! Last weekend seemed to have been a rather dull one. socially speaking, that is. Rat Day kept the freshmen here, and most of the sophs too. Wedding bells will ring in the near future, however. Weekend before last, Becky Davis came bouncing in with a gorgeous ROCK from Dave Weeks. Dave la out of school and working at the finishing plant at AltaVista. Page Davis also came in with a good looking "sparkler" from Arthur Drogarls, an R.P.I, man. Congratulations, girls... I want to apologize to Aggie Lowery for not getting her "pinship" in last week's paper. She accepted Prank Buck's KA pin during the summer months. It really looks good. Aggie. Delia Higgins hasn't come down off that cloud yet! She came floating in Sunday night looking like the display table for the Balfour Company. It seems that Jim Ukrop pinned her after dinner Sunday night with that monstrosity of an SAE pin. Congratulations. Delia.

Freshmen 'Turkic' For Mighty Sophs
By JO ANN FIVFL Did I hear someone say they didn't like classical mcic? How many times these words have been 'tiered by some unsuspecting Individual! There is not a pa son alive who can honestly say that he does not like some piece of classical ; music. Let me show you what I 1 mean. Natural Likes The most famous piece of music in the world is the wedding march Who wrote it and where did it originate? A German named Richard Wagner composed it for an opera called Lohengrin. No one enn deny that they like this piece of music. We keep telling ourselves we will walk down the aisle to II one day. Our church music is full of reirranged classical pieces. "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" was taken from a quartet by Haydn. This same tune is used as the Austrian national anthem. "Joyful. J' :• ful We Adore Thee" is known to the high - brows of the music world as "The Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Borrowed Clastics Popular music and church music are not the only fields which have borrowed from classical composures. The composers of this type of music did it to each other. Saint Saens borrowed the tune we know as the "Can-Can" or "Guite Parie,sane" from Offenbach, slowed It down, and renamed it "The Turtles" for lus "Carnival of Animals." There are a thousand more Instances of this type of thing. Don't |ever let me hear you say you don't jlike classical music. For all you know, number one on the Hit Parade may be a part of someone's symphony.
Cabinet Meeting Held The Y.W.C A. Cabinet members held their annual Fall Retreat this weekend at Longwood Estate. The purpose of the retreat was to plan the year's activities with particular attention on Religious Emphasis Week which will be held In February. Prayer Services Change
Another topic discussed was that of increased attendance at Prayers held each night. It was decided that Prayers will be held each day at 6 and 6:45 p.m. Morning Watch on Thursday mornings at 7:45 a.m. will be a new devotion sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. similar to evening Prayers. The speaker Saturday night was Betty Splvey. telling of her trip to the Berea conference, a national Y.W.C. and Y.M.C.A. conference held In Berea. Kentucky, this summer.
Capitol Topics By CAROLYN BTONNELL To that small percent of Amerii'*ng who take an Interest and even a' 'imes take part in the a'fairs, local, national and international, of 'hese United States, this message is addressed. The majority of eadprs might Just as well move OBI ■ another column, since this one dealt with the individual United States, and In particular with a pn-blem to some; states so-called lghts and mis-called responsibilities and integration or segregation, as it were. It is not the purpose of this message to repeat the shameful details o' the events which occurred durnlg a past week in one of our so-called sovereign states—Arkansas. Even the most disinterested of persons have been subjected to these by every means of conununication used In this modern age The question at point is how did such events arise to turn a peaceful community Into turmoil and a group into a mob Integration is obviously the primary reason, but underlying this situation is ultimately the right of a local government to solve its own problems. Had this right been observed there would have been no cause for the nation wide and world wide scandalous publicity of a local situation which to begin with is purely a social matter. Force can never solve any social upheaval, It can only stifle the violence. The solution must come from those concerned and only those concerned can understand the problem and its needs Since this right has been denied one group, it is reasonable to assume it will be denied others. Shall we begin to think and consider our position or shall we take the easier solution and do perhaps as E. E. Cummings suggests as he conclude an essay with the following: "So let us pull the wool over each others toes and go to Hell" carefree of course.
