To Student Convention By Joann Kleinecke Jo Savage and Ann Hardy spent an exciting weekend as they combined work with pleasure in their trip to the Southern Inter - Collegiate Association of Student Governments held in New Orleans In April. There were 27 schools included in the convention, all in the southeast, ranging from small girls' schools to large co-ed colleges. There were the proverbial mixups in transportation which only served to add more adventure to the situation. After traveling from Roanoke to Greensboro to Atlanta, the girls missed their plane. They commented that "it was really fun. It was the first time either of us had flown, and we didn't even mind a little confusion along the way." When they finally got to New Orleans, they stayed in the Sophie Newcomb dormitories, which Ann described as looking "like resort motels." After a preliminary meeting, which was actually an introductory program to acquaint the delegates with the convention routine, Jo and Ann ate at a French restaurant and strolled up and down the famed Bourbon Street, which they claim la "really something Ml" Friday consisted of talks by Dr. John Price of Tulane and the mayor of New OrlfltU pltl a Dean's Panel to discuss communication between students, student leaders, and was a series of bt meetings and. most valuable of all. the discussion croups which consisted of two two-hour sessions. Ann and Jo felt these to be "the most useful aspect of the lion. They really gave us the Information we came for. Everythlni weii-handled so thai one received information dealing specifically with his own school." Saturday included a round of morning business meetings which still allowed the visitors to go to the French Quarter for sightseeing. Ann and Jo lost tin i| with the other di In the fascinating whirl of antique shops, gift
shops, the French Market. St. Louis Cathedral, and the art exhibits. After a banquet that evening, the closing session was held and after this, Jo and Ann spent their time talking to the different college delegates. Since their plane didn't leave until two the next day, the girls went to the campus chapel for Sunday services and then down- j town to eat lunch. Their misforhad not come to an end yet. however, as they had a flat tire while hurrying to catch their plane home. They accomplished this, but missed their bus in Roanoke and had to spend the night there! "In spite of everythey both assented, "it was a really wonderful experience." The trip was financed by funds from the campus fees fund for which both girls expressed their gratitude. "We went as observers, bul I definitely think that we should become members; not only for the conventions, but for the communications between the colleges all during the year. Many problems can be cleared UP in this manner by using lnin on file in other cold Ann. Both girls hope that what they have learned "will be not only wiluable to the council, but also to the whole Itudent body."

Successful Play Has Impact On Audience
Growth Means Change As each school year drawa to a successful close, another awaits to bring back old students and orient those thai are new to the principles, traditions, and high ideals of our college. And aa the school and its organizations grow to accommodate more people and new ideas, changes arc made al various times among the organizationa to better meel the needs and desires oJ all the students. Mou.-c Council is one of the organizationa thai has truction plan- underway if mel with approval by the studenl body and administration. Briefly, under the old system, various student.- are H i ed to serve as their respective hall presidents, and to keep order and quiel on the hall during Btudy hour. They also serve as members of Houai Council which • is once a month with the executive council (oilier i to discuss any problems that might have developed thai would com era everyone. Among their duties the power to administer call downs for broken House Council rules, three of which put a student on campu automatically for a v eek. It is believed that under the new system, 11^ I Council can serve better and more fairly the students and the administration in a more effe ;i' e way. The new council would do away with hall presidents and each dorm would have a dorm council conBisting of approximately live members who would collectively deal with i.I'i'en-es and give students an opportunity to explain their various situations instead of being met with an automatic call down for breaking a rule. No call downs would be Riven under this Bystem. The students would elect those girls that they wish to be on their respective dorm councils. House Council wishes all students to be aware of this change and to voice their opinions on the new organization program. Discuss it with your hall president in order to have pros and cons discussed at the nexl House I ouncil meeting for a better council organized for you. —J. A. P.
Who Needs Convictions? The present is a crucial point in the history of our times, if a nuclear agreement can be worked out. the spread of nuclear weapons can be stopped dead in its tracks. The alternative is to turn the whole world into a power-hungry scramble for bigger, and better nuclear instruments of annihilation. Let's face it. We are perched on the knife edjre between creativity and
cremation. /Vow is the time for men of convictions to publicly express their convictions. We need the open mind alert to new evidence. Hut the open mind is like the open mouth. Its purpose is to close on solid truth as the mouth closes on solid food. There is a desperate need at present for student- and faculty to atop yawning, liter down on convictions, and to articulate these convictions. Too often we student.- become simply w ha' other per mis desire us to be—Conformists without convictions. Teachers can be covered by the administration; those who speak with power rather than caution on controversial Issues maj not be promoted. Administrator- can be caught in the iron crip of the whims of alumni and legislators. When issues a- important Bl world peace or atomic annihilation are involved, however, the shackles that turn academic freedom into a stupendous .joke desperately need to be broken. So many student- have the strange Idea that without a nuclear treaty, we will go mad perfecting nuclear weapons, while Russian scientists will be azing. Let's be realistic. It is no secrel 'hat Russia darted later than We did in I he nuclear race yet caught up vv ilh ii- and is now a first-rate nuclear power. What make- us think thai we alone will rain from prolonging the nuclear race? Immersed in the beautiful spring weather of Virginia lew of u lake seriously what will ha|ipen if we don't work out a nucleai igi i einent. Nuclear competion could be carried forward not only in a few remote caverns in Nevada bul In manj areas of othei nations, in five to ten yea more nations will be capable of joining the atomic club.

Roof Versus Grades On College Agenda Ry J mo sic mil I
Just think how much better our grades would be today if we had lived during the time when you did not have to devote all your time to lying on a graveled roof. During those days it was considered a disgrace for a girl to let her skin become tanned by the sun. Then a girl would hide her tan . . . now she tans her hide! To be white and fair was the mark of a true complexional lady. If those •ante-bellum" critics were to return now in search of their true lady, they would have lo adhere to a different form of criteria. This would be true mainly because the only people who could fulfill their qualifications would be the old ladies, young babies, and people on deans' lists. Boycott Whether we realize it or not by exposing ourselves to the sun —as most of us do — we are boycotting the market on buttermilk. There was a time when buttermilk was the remedy for freckles and the secret of keeping a lily white skin. Now if a girl has lily white skin all she hears Is "Anemic? ?" In order to protect herself today, any roof-spirited Longwood Kir] would say — "Do you think lit get warmer so I can take this blanket from over S a retaliation from to if girls conies in the form of.

Sacred Service Acclaimed Best Of Choirs' Work By Frances Rarasberger The Longwood College Choir, under the direction of Dr. John W. Molnar, and the RandolphMacon College Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Roland D. I Ernest Bloch's ■acred Service in three performthis past week end. The first performance was given as a part of Longwood's annual Fine Arts Festival: the second one as a part of Alumni Day activities at Randolph-Macon: and the third as a memorial to the late composer in Temple Beth-El in Richmond. The Sacred Service is a major work for any choral organization, and both the Longwood Choir, and the Randolph-Macon Glee Club did their best to make these concerts a memorable experience for those who sang, and those who listened. It is felt that they succeeded in doing BO, for the audience reaction Sunday night showed every in'. of a thoroughly enjoy i d performance,

SII.IIOI t.TTKD AGAINST a cloudy sky, the campus bell stands as one of Longwoods major landmarks. Its ringing can be heard far off campus, reminding students of events, both present and past. Innoticed until It is heard, it suddenly becomes the center of attention as everyone Scurries across campus. Considering the factor of limited rehersals together for the two groups, the performances Wen quite commendable. Most of the rough spots evident in Friday night's performance were smoothed out by Saturday night's performance, and the performance Sunday night, in this writer's opinion, was the best of all. The part of the cantor was one of the best parts of the conr r The depth and resonance of his voice gave the Sacred Service added beauty and meaning. The soloists added to the richness and color of the Service. One may conclude by saying that the three performances were an interesting experience for both those who participated in, and those who attended, the concerts.
