THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1961
To The Class Of 1965 UniS MAI!?CAMPUS "#*# j Twice Toil Is Twice Fun You have been, by now. sufficiently welcomed by In Some Rare Instances heads of organization*, administrative officials, housemothers, "Y" girls, big sisters, and so on ad infinilum, so that we feel justified in dispensing with the usual official Rotunda hearty welcome. You have surely realized, with the .perceptivity inherent in old college students of two weeks' standing, that through all the speeches, the parties, and the meetings, there is a1 strain of real sincerity. You are welcome here because you are v. anted and needed: another link in the chain, another unique segment of the growing, changing institution that is Longwood College. You are welcome not as guesls, but as a part of us. And so we would advise you, not of your welcome presence, but of your responsibilities. You are not only "Green and White" but just plain green. This, however, is not an unfortunate state of affairs, but a brand new beginning of a brand new life. You will not necessarily make it a good beginning by joining every campus organization and activity, nor trying to impress your "Josephine College" status upon your acquaintances. When you are least aware of it, you will be developing your individual personalities and forming new values. And however irrelevant this may seem to you, you will be contributing to the personality of Longwood College. So, Freshmen, be aware of your opportunities and your responsibilities. The Rotunda is the voice of the students. Because you are new to us, your questions and opinions are particularly welcomed here. Here "WHY, you can express yourself as an individual and as a college student in a very real way, and on occasion, you can see concrete results of that expression in some phase of college life. Here you have one of many positive means of contributing to Longwood, which is your new responsibility, whether you recognize it or not. The college newspaper belongs to you — use it as a part of your new challenge.

Summer Experiences
Of Rats And Ratting Ratting — the old controversy between administration and students, and students and students — has been survived by another freshman class. As proven by the results of the poll printed in this issue, opinion is varied and vehement on the subject. This editorial is not designed to debate the rights and wrongs of hazing college freshmen. Some suggestions and criticism, however, have been made repeatedly and could perhaps, if made public, be instrumental in improving ratting at Longwood. At any rate, they bear discussion. Ratting is a controversial matter, but need it be completely a game without rules? Some authority derides the sophomores have gone too far in some particular phase after the damage has been done and that phase of rat tin;; is prohibited. Anything that is not specifically made illegal is permitted until it is proven harmful to the freshmen. This policy is slowly but surely making ratting extinct, but while it is in exi ume it is hardly the most fair and workable program for anybody concerned. It could not be too difficult or time-consuming a job for Student Government or- some other authoritative body to request that the old and new top rats form a committee to work out a definite program of ratting for future years. This program would outline exactly what can and cannot be done, as far as possible. It would give freshmen and sophomores a chance to discuss the good and bad features of the present ratting system, it would not necessarily make ratting less stringent for the freshmen of future years, but would make it more organized. This committee might also discuss making Rat Weekend a closed weekend for I reshmen. The freshman who goes through "Hell Night" on Friday, only to leave campus lor tin- weekend never .seeing the fun of Uat Hay on Saturday hardly has a clear idea of what rat tine is really like. Or perhaps the committee could devise a system whereby only those freshmen who wish to do so would go through ratting. It is apparent that the punDOM of ratting is lost upon those who do not wish to enjoy it. In a positive vein, it seems to the writer that the top rats from the Class of 1%4 have taken more seriously their lesser Imi m duty of governing by existing ratting rules to avoid an.v harmful effects during Rat Week. Congratulations are due them. This is a step in the right direction and we'd like to see it developed into a move toward more oiyaiii/ed ratling.

Mix Fun With Work By Pat Rea
Gone are the days when college students were humming, "It's summertime and the living Is easy.' With the exception of summer school victims, many headed for the beaches, camps or just lounged around home; the more industrious ones worked. Interesting Experiences The summer months, however, held several interesting experiences for several Longwood students. For Junior Gibby Britt it was a trip to New York with her award winning quarter horse Bob Parker. Cutting Champion Living up to his reputation as a Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana cutting champion, as well as Vlfglnia State Reserve Champion Reining Horse, Bob gave outstanding performances at both the New York State Pair and the Maryland State Fair. Gibby mad. the trip with the horse's trainer and his wife and Is planning on going again next year. Mexico City Spanish major Mary Morris, senior, visited Tony Farias, last year's Spanish exchange student, in Mexico City. While there she toured Mexico City and Juarez. visiting various cathedrals and Otbtr points of interest. Mary said that she was fascinated by the beautiful parks and s and by the numerous street vendors who sell cactus Mooms and food. "I was also amazed at the poor. When a car stopped on the street* the children would rush to open the doors in order to receive a Up. The people seemed so excited when a tourist spoke to them In Spanish, because they were happy to hear someone speak their language." Full Scrapbook Needless to say, Mary returned with a scrapbook full of souvewell as Jewelry and Mexican costumes. Thirty Pound Cake
Morag Noci.cr celebrated her rwi my -first birthday in Glasgow, Scotland with a thirty pound birthday cake. Accompanied by her parents Morag, a senior, visited relatives In Scotland and Ireland. We went all over Scotland," said Morag. "And we visited a little town where there is more whiskey than water. You see, the water is cut off eleven hours out of 24 because the distilleries need the water Glasgow I'nivrrtity MaflC, I member of Longwood 's hockey team and president of the AA, also toured several colleges and universities in-
cluding Glasgow University where her cousin is professor of psychology, "Then I came back home and went to Hockey Camp," she said. Laboratory Assistant Then there's Lindy Hatch who worked as Dr. Carolyn Wells' assistant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory which is operated by the United States Atomic Energy Commission in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The twenty year old Junior was asked to accept the Job because of her interest in the biological field. Her duties consisted of experimenting with radiation and its effect on the cell.
Elevator A^aiit Vandals' Target In Cunningham Dear Editor. When we returned to Longwood this fall 'o our rooms In South Cunningham, one of the first things we noticed and commented on was the Interior of the dormitory elevator. Gone were all the carvings and pencil marks that had marred the elevator all of last year. There was nothing but a fresh coating of smooth grey paint that the school had applied over the summer. Within the last few days there have mysteriously appeared a few fraternity symbols and names. We cannot understand how this could happen, after all the emphasis the Rotunda put on the deplorable act of students scratching various things on this same elevator last year, and, above all, after the school took the time this summer to provide us with a once again attractive .elevator. We do not know who Is responsible for such an act, but we hope by airing our views In the Rotunda it will come to their attention and maybe help them to think before doing such a thing again. Even the person or persons responsible for this could not possibly think that their "artistic" endeavors have added to the eye-appeal of the elevator. Thank you, Some S. C. Dwellers

By Mary Anae Lipford Remember how the old song goes: "... And I'll be switched if I'll be hitched to a bicycle built for two." At least one Longwood girl doesn't feel that way. for she and her fellow are coowners of a bicycle built for two! Sophomore Judy Partrea brought her tandem bike to school with her, a-d it has already been the cau: e of much interested chatter. Bermuda-clad co-eds clamored for the chanc" to "test-ride" the novelty at the Longwood Estate picnic, and Judy has answqred countless times the query. "Where'd you get it?" It all began, Judy says, when she and her boyfriend discovered they faced a sunimer in Norfolk. Virginia, with no car. "Ken is a sophomore at Oklahoma State and left his car there," Judy relates. Borrowed Bikes At first the two borrowed bikes from neighborhood children, but when their frequent dating bothered their young renters, Judy and Ken hit on the idea o' buying the bicycle — for two people. They phoned and phoned, but In all the city of Norfolk, no one had a tandem to sell, but they did have a few chuckles for the odd request. Finally, the pluck pair ordered a $100.00 tandem from Sears Roebuck — the first order for a tandem the clerk had had in five years! Fifty-Fifty Judy and Ken invested fiftyfifty in the bicycle and rented it for 50 cents an hour. And children weren't their only customers! Weight-conclous husbands and wives delighted in doubling on the bicycle. Soon many neighborhood children tried to imitate and make their own. The public's surprise at seeing the quaint bicycle in busy downtown Norfolk amused Judy and Ken all summer. When they

pedaled to Norfolk City Hall to get the license that was required for the bike, a perplexed policeman stopped traffic and let them pass. "Daisy, Daisy . . ." was sung to the couple everwhere they went. Driving the bike brought laws and regulations. All traffic rules apply to bicycle riders In a city, including hand signals. It la against the law to ride on sidewalks. Judy and Ken's black and white English type bike was equipped with a hand brake and foot brakes. Both riders petaled together, and (lie front rider had control of the hand brake, in case he saw the need to stop quickly. "I Just gave the signals and carried the packager," says Judy. More Fun Two people can go everywhere on a tandem that they can go in a car — and have more fun doing it. Ken and Judy pedaled to the park to play tennis, to the beach, the laundry, and the movies, where they were allowed to park in the lobby! After a summer of bike riding, they are convinced of the advantages: a bicycle drinks no gas. it can be taken down on the beach and riden on the hard sand, and parking is no problem. Culottes are perfect, Judy says, for pedaling. One of the biggest advantages, though, became evident to Judy when she used her bicycle license as indentlfication for getting In a Virginia Beach night club. The policeman at the door questioned petite Judy's age. but sighed in submission: "Well, I've been in the business for thirty years, and this is the first time I «ver let anyone pass for 18 on a bicycle license!" Asked what will happen to the blke-bullt-for-two now. Judy Just says she'll keep it at Longwood this winter. And then she smilingly adds. "Ken and I will be using it again next summer!"

As (he sudden death of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold shocked both eastern and western powers, new tensions have been arising on his replacement. US President J. F. Kennedy staunchly defied the Russian proposal of a three man committee to act as secretary general. Such a replacement as this would give the communists powers the right of veto. In turn this would weaken the position greatly. Congress adjourned its session September 28 after holding the longest session since the Korean

girls. Purpose Basically Bud? One freshman felt that ratting was a very upsetting experience for many girls. She felt that whether a girl is afraid or not. it is hard on her nerves. She went on to say ihat the reason that sophomores enjoy ratting is tally bad. She felt that any group of people opressing another group was wrong. She believed that the principle behind ratting was not effective. Many sophomores rat only those freshmen they already know. She said thai although she learned many sophomore's names, she doubts that many remember hers. Unknown Another freshman was for ratting one hundred per cent. She felt that both classes got a lot of enjoyment out of it and got acquainted at the same time. She did feel, however, that the meaning of ratting was not made char to them in the beginning. This, she stated, instilled a feeling of rebellion and fear in them. One freshman's only criticism was that it was thrown at them too fast. Many agreed that ratting should come after they are more settled. Sophs Commended The Top Rats were commended by one girl who explained that they offered to help when they could. Another freshman most impressed with the sing on Saturday afternoon. It WAS then that she realized that the sophomores were really buddies Sorry It's Over One girl was regretful because it was all over. Another felt a little tired, but admitted it was fun. "I'm looking forward to next year" was one freshman's final comment. eoc« eoi» »■

of college. One stated th very unfair to inflict another worry on an already uni freshman." She felt that it would be more pleasant to be able to come to Longwood and know that the upperolassmsn would manifest their friendship in a sane and mature manner. Serves Its Purpose Many other sophomores fell that ratting, if taken in tin spirit, was a good idea. One felt that if the sophomores were not too domineering and if the freshmen realized that ratting was all in fun, it served a good purpose. Many felt that the true purpose of ratting was for the freshmen and sophomore clas know each other better. One claimed that ratting was a good institution because it promotes good class spirit. Old Tradition Many felt that it was an old tradition at Longwood and to lose it would be to lose a part of Longwood. Another point was that it keeps the freshmen busy all the time. Thus there is no time to get homesick. Some sophomores felt that ratting can go to extremes. They feel that there are always some who take advantage of their position during ratting.
