THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1962
Pa*e 2
In The Long Run There was onre a JTOUng prince who was to ascend the throne of a tiny kingdom. On the day of his coronation he was dressed in the traditional coronation robes which had been banded down from ruler to ruler. And then he jrot into the gold coronation carriage drawn by eight white horses and made hi- uav to the cathedral where he was to he crowned. All went as gloriously as had heen expected. Bui when he came out of the cathedral to meet his subjects, he saw a few of the poorer people drcs.-ed in rag and standing around crying, "We want more bread. We demand higher wages." The king was appalled by this disorderly behavior, lie went back to hi ea tie and immediately called in the Extreme High Counselor in Charge of the Behavior of the Subjects. "What can I do," demanded the ruler. "What will the rulers of other kingdoms think, if I allow my subjects to ruin royal ceremonies and make demands of me, their ruler." "The people think too much," said the Extreme High Counselor. "What do you mean by thai ?" questioned the ruler. "In thinking, subjects sometimes forget who is the ruler and who are the ruled. Therefore, if you want to be recognized as the ruler of obedient subjects, forbid the subjects to think," advised the Extreme High Counselor. "That I shall do!" exclaimed the ruler. Then the ruler sent out a decree. "From this day forward," it said, "the people of this kingdom may talk but they may not think, for in thinking they sometimes forget who is the ruler and who are the ruled." The people of the land being good subjects obeyed the decree, but as time went by they found that they could not speak without thinking, so they stopped speaking. All through the kingdom quiet prevailed. No one thought, no one spoke except the ruler. And he only spoke when he had a new law to announce. One day many years after this decree the ruler called all his subjects together in an assembly to announce to them the new ruler, for by this time he was getting along in age. For the children born after the decree it was the first time they had heard a human voice. For while these children sat and listened to the sound thai was new to them. But then suddenly the ruler's voice cracked, for he was no longer in the habit of making speeches. And just as suddenly a little hoy for a reason known to no one laughed. Then all the people began to laugh. The ruler was dumbfounded. He tried to call order above the laughter, but the people were laughing Bo loudly they could not hear him. The ruler rushed down the stairs of the platform and looked u.p at the stage; he saw nothing funny. "What are you laughing at?" he shouted. And still they did not stop. Finally, one of the older men said, "The older ones are laughing at their folly, and the younger ones are laughing at you — they've never heard a human voice" The next day a new decree went out. It said, "Prom this day forward the people of the land may think, for if they hear the voices and thoughts of other, they will not laugh when their ruler s.peaks to them." —DMH
Think Before Voting During the past week each class has nominated candidates for the offices of legislative president and of judicial head for the Student Government Association. Within the next week elections for these two offices will take place. The importance of interest and participation in this election and in those to come, cannot be emphasized enough. During the election period, your screening hoard will meet to consider and decide upon candidates. This screening board will need Hour careful thought and cxpnssion. Otter opinions and suggestions to your representatives. Discuss the potentials and qualifications Of each nominee, so that the slate for each office will include capable, interested people — people whom you can trust with the responsibility Of these offices of vital interest to each individual in
the student body. —Judy Detrich, Major-Minor Flections Chairman

Registration Brings Student Headaches By Mary Beth Olson This morning I arose feeling extremely tired, listless, rundown, and suffering from a severe migraine headache. No not a sedaUve hangover — a schedule hangover! I glanced groggily at my mangled tentative card— the erasure holes allowed the morning sun to peep through. The Combination of pen and ink, tears ana Mood created a maze of artistic shapes —indecipherable but arUstlc. I stumbled to the bathroom, grasped the bottle of aspirin . . . "Only one or two to give me strength to face the day." They stuck in my throat so I took a third to force the others down. It, too, became Imbedded in my esophagus! Dressed at last. I wandered dazedly — drawn by some myst e r 1 o u ■ fore toward the dean's office. The mysterious force? Perhaps it was fear that I wouldn't graduate, that I would overcut a class, that I might miss The Guiding Light, that I might strangle on asplrlrn ablets. As I entered Ruffner I noticed an enormous crowd gathered In the hull , . , "Aha! Something exciting Is happenln f," I thought. I edged quietly around the fringe of the group. Elbows were working frantically — and a left elbow to the solar pelvis, a right elbow to the ear lobe. Unruly feet crushed my shining weejuns and came crashing about my ankles and knees. Prom within the crowd there were groans of excruciaUng pain. The corner of a notebook made its way into my left side followed by a pencil-point to the right. "Agggggggggg!" i muttered unahpplly. Suddenly a hush came over the wriggling mass ... a door squeaked ominously open. I reached deep into my pocket and found my glasses. Standing framed In the doorway stood an

imposing white-haired figure— with a rather hunted look in his eyes. "All right, girls. One at a time — I'll get to you all one at a time ..." The figure rapidly retreated to the safety of his office. WHOOOOOOSH-I was swept forward 'by a well-placed elbow > Into Doctor Moss's small reception room. Around me were some twenty-five other girls ... "A scream to the right of me, a screech to the left of me roared and reechoed." "My kingdom for an aspirin!" my thumping head cried. I clutched my ragged, flimsy tentaUve schedule card In my hot little hand. One by one girls entered the little office and one by one they departed. Their faces bore various expressions. Some were smiling . . . there were definite degrees of smiles; the small grin, the medium smirk, the large smile, and the glant-economy-slze Pepsodent ad. Some were frowning — the small pout, the medium sulk, the large frown, and the giant-economysize temper tantrum. I glanced at my watch — two hours! I gritted my teeth and removed my foot from the viseIlk'' Blip of a large rubber boot The minutes ticked slowly byone by one. The line moved Inch by inch nearer and nearer and nearer. At last I stood nose-todoor on the precipice of Doctor Moss's sanctuary. My hands were cold and clammy. My stomach turned three consecutive nips and then lay quietly UN mbllng. The door knob turned ... I straightened my shoulders. A deep voice Inquired, "All right. Uttle lady, may I help you?" "Uh ... Yes sir, it's about this." I mumbled holding out the bsttle-scarred schedule. "Let me see . . . my, my. my followed by tch. tch, tchi well. I see here that you have five consecutive classes on Monday.

"Oh. I live in a very nice university town," piped the peppy exchange student with a surprising hint of British brogue—surprising because she hails from Montpellier. in the southern part of France. To Annick Jullard, Longwood's new French assistant, English Is nothing new or particularly frightening; she had studied it since she was eleven. This includes four years of study at the University of Montpellier which culminated in a degree in English there. "Half of your life, can you realize it, you have been studying English!" remarked Ida, Annick's Spanish roommate who ■peaks our language well, too. and who remained staUoned nearby during the entire Interview, offering suggestions and clever comments. Already the two have become fast friends and expre sed a desire to ". . . call the Greyhound man and see how much It would cost for Annick to come to Mexico." British Accent Her British accent can be explained by the year Annick spent In England as a French assistant in a secondary school 'for that Is what high schools are called.i "I lived in a dig," related Annick, pausing to explain that "digging" Is the commonly used name for a place of lodging In England. She was surprised that we don't have digs here. Wedding Spectator Her bright brown eyes sparkled with Interest as she described the night she and a friend spent on a London street in anticipation of Princess Margaret's wedding. She seemed particularly proud that her picture later appeared In a book about the wedding, and went on to describe the American students with guitars, beards, and Jeans she and her friend met that night. "That's why we were photographed," Annick confessed, "—the boys were so picturesque!" Fairly bubbling with personality that would suit American and Frenchman alike, Annick laughingly described her visit to a ScotUsh barracks, where ". . . the men looked so funny, doing exercises in kilts!" Annick also smiled as she told about the tca-drlnklng in England. "If you're tired, they say tea will make you no longer tired ... If you're sick, they say tea will make you better;
tli-1 are always talking of a 'Dice CUP (if tea'!" The conversation turning to France. Annick assured us that Brightt Bardot is not typical of Flench Kills. In fact, she said, the French are a bit bored with all her publicity. Social Customs Annick. in comparing American and French dn I, observed that we dress up more here than her Preach people do. Admittedly, the wore high beeto every day to school, but that was because the university was In town - "not In the country," said Annick with a gesture, "like Longwood!" There are few formal affairs in France; skirts and sweaters are more ofnn worn to the dances which last from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. American records are snatched up readily at French shops by teenagers who enjoy rock n' roll, and are learning the twist! Fats Domino. Louis Armstrong, and Ray Charles are great favorites. Asked If French teenagers "go steady." Annick reported that they had no such term or symbols 'such as high school rings i of romantic status. She seemed fasctnati d with the explanation of our "pinning" customs here. "You have so many little things which show what college you come from: rings, charm bracelets ... we have nothing." She seemed pleased, though, with her new Longwood ring, a recent gift. Fnnch Youth Serious The French youth Is very serious-minded, we were told. Thoughts are turned to studies more often than dances. "La nouvelle vague "—the new wave of movies — in which French teenagers are depicted as being wild and immoral has caused quite a stir of resentment
Group Sponsors Math Program In recent years the National Office of the Future Business Leaders of America and the Nat; nal Office Management Association have been aware of the increasing importa: ce of mathemat.es in high schools and college curricula and to those planning to become the future business teachers and the future' business leaders of America. Math Program The National program ha> been co-ordinated by states. The Lo- gwood College chapter number 12112. Gamma Epsllon chapter of Phi Beta Lambda has been chosen to make the mathematics program available to business students in all Virginia high schools that have a FBLA Club. The Richmond Chapter of NOMA Is sponsoring this program and will have charge of giving the awards. Appointed to head this state-wide program are Dr. M. L. Landrum and Mr. Alfred Patrick, both of the Bulness Educa'loi Department at Longwood College. It was strange ... I only wanted . . . and now . . . but there's always the registrar's office. Maybe they'll have some clean schedule blanks so I can recopy mine.
ANNICK II II \l(li among the French youth. Annick assured us that the movies are badly exaggerated. French Diversion! The family is of great Importance in France and with a predominately Catholic population, divorce is uncommon. Football, rugby, tennis, and Le Tour de France are popular sports—but not baseball. Chocolate milk has replaced wine in her brother's diet—but wine is still drunk with meals by most people. Frenchmen Joke about Americans eating "Jam with meat." Indeed, Annick finds it difficult to get used to having t and salty foods In one meal. "Well." we asked finally, "how do you like it over here?" With a smile, Annick replied that she had only been here two weeks and seen one boy. so it I little hard to tell yetl As this reporter reluctantly closed the interview and bid the amiable Annick "au revoir," we hoped Annick would learn to like It here and felt confident that Longwood would lore her!

Well, soon it will be part of the great transformation. At the present students who travel to Stevens Hall and Wheeler Dorm must detour in order to reach their destination. They either detour or risk fire and wet cement. This is the first step toward completing a central campus mall which is to be located between Cunningham Dorms, Wheeler Dorm, Stevens Hall and the library. The driveway has been eliminated and several sidewalks will replace it. Vehicles must travel the once one-way street at the back of the Cunningham Dorms in order to reach Wheeler Dorm.
