THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1961
Editor Leaves Town "Tin- editor leaves town and anything goes", ia the olil newspaper Baying. " 'Headlines don'1 have to fit', 'no need to proof the firsl copy', 'so what If this story is ten ems too long — they can alwaya squeeze |«ad and make il fit!' " These are the daydreams, (or nightmares, on occasion,) of the members of the Rotundd stall, aa the editor basks in the Miami sun. Would thai thej were true, bui headlines must fit, copy must be proofread again and again and again, and everybody knows that lead type cannot be squeezed. In the absence of the edl or, the staff has si rived to maintain the Rotunda's high standards of Rood journalism. Few Longwood students are aware of these standards, not having been trained to reCOgnize them. One such seemingly unimportant point is making headlines "fit" to count the proper number of letters for the .-pace allowed; or writing heads which are original, yet not misleading. These are just a lew of the standards to which your staff must conform in order to publish a paper which you can be proud to read and which will represent the college well in other parts of the slate. A good yardstick for evaluation la a newspaper from another college. Compare your Rotunda with another college .paper. The Rotunda is constantly changing, adopting new and journalistically Letter makeup and content. And each week, a peal deal of eff rl and many hours are spent in publishing a newspaper which will inform, entertain, provide an audience for students' ideas, and stimulate the student body to thought and mature action. —A. A.
Troublesome Times The following is reprinted from the Mary lialduiit College Campus Comments. These are troublesome times. We are living in the moat dangerous and uncertain period of all history. No longer can we be so naive as to think our country is omnipotent. Russia has just announced that her scientists ha\e worked out projects for building bombs with an explosive power five thousand times the power Of the United States' bomb which devastated Hiroshima. Our optimistic Senator Kennedy, the campaigner who vigorously promised to improve a great deal of our foreign relations, la now the fatalistic President Kennedy who agrees with his critics that his administration will be unable to make any marked improvements in many of the world's situations. Instead, the United Slates will attempt to "hold its own" with foreign nations. Where are we heading? The Communist Party believes that "capitalism has entered its final stage" and promises a new world, a communist world, to replace the "old order". The present Tarty Program also promises that as Communism triumphs "labor will be a source of joy . . . man's best moral qualities will reveal themselves in full". In the months and years to come, idealistic promisee like these will reach the millions of people looking for a better way of life. How will they react to this? The BUCCeBS or failure of the Communist mission will depend largely on the response it receives from tlie UV-I. The time of the "sunshine .patriot" is long gone. Americans must fight for their peace and freedom or assuredly they will lose them. Their armor will be Truth; their shield, Knowledge; their spear. Faith. The world must know the Truth about our government; America needs a stronger propagandist program and enthusiastic ambassadors who are so convinced of the greatne-- of their country that their zeal is contagious. Sim needs patriot! who thoroughly understand her government and are willing to fight for its preservation. .Most important of all, she needs faith to carry her through these I roublesome times. Americans must believe I hat Cod will not give up a people, who have seriously attempted to unite the world in love and harmony, to nuclear destruction, or leave them helplessly to perish. lance Smith

Faculty Birthday Dinner Provokes Original Hats Last Wednesday, the faculty let their hair down and came to a banquet given by the Slater System, modeling original, homemade hats representing their birthday month. A social committee, headed by Mrs. Magnifico, was in charge of entertainment at the banquet. Members of the committee were Mrs. Bobbitt. Dr. Jeffers. Miss Spear, and Miss Trent. The social committee had a parade of hats, which was followed by singing of birthday songs. Hath Original Many original hats were worn to the banquet. Mrs. Bobbitt used a mortarboard, covered It with halloween paper and attached little plastic pumpkins and candy to the corners. She had a big plastic pumpkin sitting on top. Mrs. Dugger. born in June, wore a bride's veil. On the back of the veil was a sign—"Wanted—
One Groom." There were many ennstmas hats at the banquet. Miss Spear used an old hat. wrapped up several boxes with Christmas paper and attached the boxes to her hat. She had a string of Christmas lights around the hat but. as she said. "I couldn't get them to come on." Mrs. Moran had an old hat completely covered with evergreen, with Christmas decorations attached to the evergreen. Dr. Lane had a Santa Claus hat on. Mrs. Jones, born In October, had taken fall leaves, covered them with wax and attached the leaves to a hat. She had a plastic pumpkin on top of her hat, wired so it would light up. A prize was given at the banquet for the most original hat. Mrs. Jones received the prize for her original creation of a lighted Halloween pumpkin.
Ii.\ Mary Anne Lipford Returning from his usual ten o'clock Friday morning class, the history professor found two girls waiting at his office door. He warmly urged both students to come into the small, uncluttered room and began at once to look for the blo'd 's recent test. A wide smile revealed her apparent satisfaction with her grade - indeed, an extremely high grade for a freshman's first test--and the professor carefully pointed out her errors. Here were two new faces at Longwood: both Dr. Alexander V. Berkis and the attractive freshman were rather symbolic, it seemed, of two new beginiiiiics which held promising futures. Both would do well here; the freshman was obviously interested in her test results, and Dr. Berkis was clearly conserned that she understand the test. Displaying a genuine interest, he commended her on an "excellent background and understanding" as she left. Then ha settled himself into a chair and turned his attention to the other girl the author of this article. Dr. Berkis is a native of Latvia, where he practiced law aa trial lawyer after receiving his Master of Law Degree from the University of Latvia. Dr. Berkis recollects defending many cases, but an outstanding one in his mind Is a particular murder case. His client was convicted and given a death sentence, for all the evidence appeared to be against him. Skillful arguments and an appeal to a higher court brought victory to Dr. Berkis for his client. At the mention of another trial lawytr. television's Perry Mason. Longwood's Berkis smiles, amused. He assures us that Mason is highly glamorized: "I could never unlock doors ... go into people's homes and search!" Dr. Berkis' shingle came down when he fled the Communists in Latvia and went to Germany to live for over five years. There, as Chairman of the Committee of the Refugee Center, he directed the entire educational program of the 125,000 Latvian refugees who had fled Communism after World War II. as he had done. Six per cent of the Latvian
population actually went Into exile. Dr. Berkis' task In Germany was a mammoth one; he was responsible not only for the i-chool system, but the cultural program for his fellow refugees. One of these refugees became his wife In Germany and came with him to the States in 1950. "After I lost my native country. I saw no reason to linger in Europe. I believe there would not be a Berlin Crisis today If all Europeans would forget their jealously of Germanyshe has built up rapidly si-ce the War—and formed a strong European Army" Dr. Berkis says he decided to leave Germany for this same reason eleven years ago; he simply couldn't digest the fact that the Europeans were "committing suicide" via their hatred for Germany—hatred which made them blind to the real issues at stake: Communism and the Russians In America. Dr. Berkis studied at the University of Wisconsin and received his M.A. and his PhD. in history. He then moved southward and began a five-year stay at High Point College. He Is very glad, he says, to now be In Virginia because" ... it is the state richest In tradition and history. I appreciate that." Then, too, he is glad to be closer to Washington and the doors of the Library of Congress—familiar doors to him. as he works to complete his second book. His first. The Reign of Duke tomes in Courland. is a history of his native country and was published In 1960. This first work was written in English, although Dr. Berkis has had numerous excerpts and articles published in Latvian and European Journals. What does a scholarly history professor do in his leisure time? Dr. Berkis leans toward physical exercises: walking, skiing, and skating. He and Mr. Helms engage in an occasional game of chess, and of course. Dr. Berkis reads. His favorite books are not history-related, however. He reads volumes on medicine and philosophy—but never best sellers.
Asked his opinion of Longwood girls as scholars, Dr. Berkis says he is ■■ . . satisfied to realize the quality of students here, especially freshmen." As his interviewer rose to leave, she asked a final question, more for curiosity than a scoop: "How'd you like the way Circus came out?" "Fine." replied her new friend with a articles.

Puzzled LC Students Ponder Tub Versus Shower Problem By Mary Beth Olnon For all those who have a rigorous schedule of activities and have trouble organizing their spare time, It is imperative that one understand the necessity of a Saturday night bath—or shower. A shower is an ingenious device arranged to scald one in a moment. In another second one may suffer from an acute case of chills. The spray is guaranteed to dampen anything within fifty feet—hair, eye-makeup, bedroom slippers, towel, and dry clothes. If the soap should slither to the floor during the pro< ■bower! I all || lost!

For tho first time in three years, the Universitv of Virginia won an Atlaitic Coast Conference came by upsetting South Carolina 28-20 in Saturday's game. Doug Thomson, a sophomore fullback, was the game's leading ground gainer with 81 yards in 18 carries. Thomson scored the first and last touchdowns, and staged the finest performance by a Virginia player since 1958 whe-i UVA beat Duke. VMI can no longer claim the title, "Southern Conference champs." For two years VMI has whipped Citadel in the final confererce game of each season, but the tide turned against the Keydets this season. The Bulldogs trailed 8-7 when they made the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter and clinched the Southern Conference Title. The c...uiils two remaining games are against non-league foe 'I'tuflnal score was 14-8. The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Iowa's Hawkeyes by 29 to 13 Saturday before a large crowd of H,788 spectators. This was Ohio's fourth straight win In the battle for the "Big T<n championship. As a result of this game, Iowa is r.o longer in the running. Iowa has beaten the Bucks twice In the last two years, but evidently OSU coach. Woody Hayes, statement that "we never lose three straight games to anyone" is true. University of Richmond routed Virginia Tech 11-0 in Saturday's football contest. Brent Vann, halfback, scored the first touchdown ten seconds before the half ended as 14.500 fans roared their approval. The Spiders scored a safety and field goal in the fourth quarter when Tech's Warren Price "fielded" a 50yard pur t on the Tech goal line.

U Thant Replaces Dag, Russia Continues Tests By Lrwun Rippey Fifty-two year old U Thant from Burma has been chosen as acting secretary general of the United Nations to replace the late Dag Hammarskjold. He Is a practicing neutral who supports what he believes is right— whether it is Communist or Western, As head of Burma's delegation he has denounced the Soviet Union for its Intervention In Hungary and the United States for its position on Cuba. He Is against any attempt to weaken the secretary general's powers, which Soviet Premier Khrushchev has been attempting by proposing a three-headed Troika In place of the secretary general. He feels weakening of these powers would weaken the UN. The Atomic Knrrgy CommisNlon said Saturday that the Russians are continuing nuclear test explosions In the Arctic. Another atmosphere shot in the Novaya Zemlya area, where the 50-megaton superbomb blast of October 30 was exploded. The fallout cloud from this 50-megaton supii bomb passed over the Great Lakes region and eastern Canada Saturday heading for the Atlantic Ocean. The test on November 4, last Saturday, was the 3UI in the current series. The United States Weather Bureau, tracking the radioactive ash from the 50-megaton superbomb said there Is no danger of contamination at this time. Premier Khrushchev declared that the series of tests will be extended If the U. S. resumes tests In the atmosphere. Most of the Russian people have no knowledge of these nuclear explosions by the Russian

broadcasts although keep them informed on American underground tests. While Khrushchev has strengthened his corftrol on the Communist party at home, he has new troubles abroad. He is putting pressure on Red China by attacking the Communists of Albania, which Red China has taken under its wing. The split with Red China came over ideology. The Chinese support Isolation and constant preparation for a military rixnrdown. Khrushchev wants broader contacts especially with newly independent states so that a snowballing of economic and industrial growth will overwhelm the capitalist world without a war. On the lighter side of news, Princess Margaret of Britain gave birth to a t> pound 4 ounce boy on Friday, November 3. The boy is the fifth heir to the throne. General Maxwell D. Taylor, the President's military adviser, has Just recently returned from a first-hand study of the South east Asian cold war front. On his arrival Friday he indicated that he was against sending U. S. combat forces to Viet Nam, because they have plenty of manpower. A rising Communist onslaught is aided by the Vietnamese lack of morale and confidence, due partially to the lack of political freedom and nomlc-social betterment. Hurricane flattie struck British Honduras on October 31. As of Saturday the death toll had reached 204. British soldiers from Jamaica were brought In to enforce martial law to prevent the looting of food.
were Trina Childress, Janice Harris, Lindy Ha'ch, Virginia Parker, and Peggy Waldo. The Little Colonels, a professional club in Richmond, was the only other team to have as many as five of its members named to the Tidewater team. The first game of the tournament pitted Longwood against We-thampton. It proved to be an exciting game, with Longwood winning 2-1. As Freshman physical education major Judy Wilson describes it, "It was, I believe, the best game we have played. They all worked together like clockwork. There was also a penalty goal, which is unusual." In the second game, held at 2:40 pm, on Friday, the Richmond Club defeated William and Mary 4-0, and at 4 pm, the Little Colonels closed out the Petersburg Club 6-0. Both games were played on campus. At 3:30 on Friday at the Estate field, the Norfolk Division of William and Mary went down to Mary Washington, 5-0. rewarding the good work of the Mary Washington forward line, the team's unity, and the excellent defense. In the fifth gam. of the tournament and Saturday's first game. Westhampton met and successfully conquered the Norfolk Division, with a score of 3-1. Excellent offensive play was the key for Westhampton. They dominated the first half. MOlIni two goals. A quick second-half goal bv tMi' Diwsion was followed later by another Westhampton score. At 10 am. William and Mary i Williamsburg I met the Washington team in a close game ' resulting in a 2-2 tie.
In a hard game Saturday at 11:30 on the home field, the Richmond Club vied with the Little Colonels. The game was close, tallying 2-1 early In the second half. In the final match. Longwood was pitted against the Petersburg Club, and was again successful, shutting out the Club 3-0.
