In Jarman Hall By Nancy Mowrey Dr. Melville J. Herskovlts, professor of anthropology at Northwestern University, scholar, and author of many books, spoke Thursday on "Culture and Human Behavior" to a Longwood audience. Defines Culture Dr. Herskovlts first defined culture as the totality of learned behavior or the man-made part of the environment, as distinguished from higher learning and the arts. He says homo sapiens are distinguished from lower animal* by speech and the use of tools. Men can use symbols which arc developed or learned; other animals use Instinct ve signs. All men are of a single species, which is evidenced by their mutual fertility. Nothing can be developed by one society that any other society cannot learn within Individual capacity. The con tagiousness of culture was also points out by Dr. Herskovits. There Is very little in American culture that has not come from elsewhere. "Enculturation," as defined by Herskovlts, is the process by which one grows Into the culture of his society. It includes everything from learning religious tenets to how to tie one's shoe laces; it determines the way of life of a culture. Question Raised Dr. Herskovlts raised the question, "What are the eternal —truths or verities?" His answer was that every culture has its own concepts of the Infinite (Continued oa page 4)

Seniors Recalls Drama Career;
Dress Rules Discussed La t weeks' Rotunda carried a letter to the Editor from a "Progressive Student" who wished to see Saturday lunch attire changed to la ka or bermudas, (overed by raincoats. Since the appearance of this letter, a Rreat deal of discussion has arisen concerning Saturday dress. The suggestion made by the student has iieen considered by both House Council and members of the faculty and administration. At the House Council meeting both the pros and cons of the question were thoroughly covered — with I lie majority of the members agreeing that standards concerning Saturday dress shall remain as they are now: school clotlies. not slacks or bermudas, are to be worn on Saturdays. To allow the wearing of sports clothes to the Dining Nail would be lowering Longwood standards. Whether the student body realizes it or not, the majority of the visitors Of the college and of the students comment often and more favorably on the nice, clean. neat appearance of the girls than on anything else. The appearance of the students is perhaps the first thing noticed by any visitor to any college. And, if the students lure were dressed ultracasually, many visitors would not realize that this was only a Saturday exception instead of an everyday practice. What would visitors' or dates' opinions of Longwood be if they saw the girls trudging in to lunch wearing their duty housecleaning clothes? Or, how appetizing would a meal be when eaten in the company of innumerable girls dressed in the same grimy outfits which they wore to do their cleaning chores? Diana Snow, Vice President House Council
Split
Classes?
That time of year is upon us again which brings the ubiquitous Dormitory Hassle. The decision again has to be made, which classes will live in which dorms. We feel that the classes should not be split, and a split such as the one imposed on the present sophomore and junior classes, dividing them between Wheeler and Main Cunningham dorms has been re'.'i it table. And the Freshmen did not escape, either. They were shuttled about in the senior dorm, being uprooted after nine weeks, as usual. So there are two problems, how to keep classes together? and, who's going to live among the seniors? In any case, the members of the classes who are going to be affected by the rooming situation, the present Otnorea and freshmen, should consider the proMem and let their sentiments be known to their class presidents.

Others Reveal Players' Tricks
French Club Sees Two Gallic Plays Forty • five members of the French Club accompanied by Miss Draper, Mrs. Ernouf. Mrs. Simonini and Mrs. Taliaferro Journeyed to Randolph - Macon's College In Lynchburg to see "Huis-Clos," a one act play by Jea- Payl Sartre, and "La ('antatrice fhauve" by Eugene Ionesco on March 8. Also, in the same group were Annick Julliard and Ida Appendlni. "Hult-Clos" or "No Exit" depicts life In hell as Sartre sees it. The three main characters realize that hell is other people and that each of the others will be the torturer of the other for eternity. 'Soprano' Presented In "La Cantratrice Chauve" The Bald Soprano) Ionesco portrays a perfect society. That is, all economic worries are nonexistent; therefore erasing class warfare. As a result of this perfection, the characters are extremely bored.
"My parents had warned mo before I came to Longwood." chatted the senior math and English major, "that they didn't can what else I did at college just so I stayed out of drama!" If one were left to guess the identity of the senior speaking, Ginnia Chapman's name would probably be the very last to be suggested. But Longwood Players' former assistant scenery crew chief, stage manager, and assistant director confides that her parents, weary and wise alter a hiph school career of plays and community theater, did not encourage their daughter to continue in dramatics. "I obeyed for exactly two weeks," Ginnia goes on. "then a good friend of mine who happened to be stage manager for the fall play asked me to be assistant stage manager. I accepted—and have been there ever since!" Years Bring Changes Four busy years have inevitably brought about changes at Jarman, and Ginnia witnessed them — with a speck of sadness, perhaps. "I miss the funny things that used to happen. For IDS ance, the old phone system . . . it never failed; it'd work wonderfully for all rehearsals, but would conk out on the night of performance! It never failed there we'd be at five minute., 'til eight, up in the balcony frantically fixing the phones!"

She must be present for all productions, lyceums, Christmas pageants, and circuses to advise and help avoid damage to expensive equipment or injury to actors.

"Wells is always there, willing to do any Job without complaining or asking how much work it will involve. It's gals like her that keep us going over there." Anne's title means she must make or obtain all costum .' It is to be regretted that for anything Longwood Players Antigone did not measure up to produces. Her position of costhe standards established by the tume designer fell into her lap Longwood Players previously last year, when Just three weeks this year. before "Hedda Oabler." the costume designer had to resign.

LC Critic Reviews Spring Presentation By Sharon Coulter Antigone, a tragedy or comedy of errors? Anouilh's dialogue. Barbara Stewart's and Jean Bristow's light design, and Cab Venable's charm prevented the recent production of Antigone from becoming an embarrasing tragedy. Under the direction of Mr. Rick Wiles the lead was portrayed by Carla McNair as a spoiled, masochistic child. The part of Antigone was not adequately developed either by the director or by McNair; U VU lacking both in depth and sensitivity. This weakness was more vivid in contrast with Mike Couchman's strong, sympathetic interpretation of Creon As king f Ttktbas, Couchman performed excellently. Wooden Harmon Miss McNair's Antigone would have benefited by a more virile interpretation of Haemon. Unfortunately. Evans Harbour's Haemon was mechanical, wooden, and ineffective. Haemon did not add to Antigone's strength lie drained her of what strength she had. Susan Molthrop as the Nurse had good delivery. The major distraction in her protrayal was i .' skle Oleason walk. Freshman Mary Lynn Lander, appearing as Ismene. gave a more than adequate performance. The somewhat peripheral role of Chorus, portrayed by Cab Venable, provided a welcome r lief and much needed support. The lighting, too. was a dramatic and affective addition. Ed Baker as First Guard was hiunordus and natural. Lls uiann was quite convincing in the part of the Messenger.
JEAN LOWRY obviously quite caught up in her work at Jarman, says excitedly. "There's a fabulous little place called Rice's where we find a lot of stuff. It's sorta dark and musty, and the man fixes tombstones. We klnda go in there 'Continued on page 3)

David Anderson as the Fire Chief developed the part quite well. He demanded the attention of his audience with almost every word. Mary Beth Olson as Mary, the maid, was quite charming; she accomplished much with a secondary role. Beverly Howard as the Clock was another enjoyable addition Cox, M. II mi. I
Dottle Cox and Tom McDaniel as the Martins were a well-chosen pair. Their patter was executed in a captivating manner. The only flaw to be found In their performance was in the timing ef the "curious coincidence" scene which was slightly slow. On the whole, the Longwood Players productions of Anilgon. and The ItJI Id Soprano provided an interesting and entertaining week end of thsatar.
