Student Government Constitution Studied of major officers of Student Government. The present constitution calls for four, a president, vice pr sident secretary, and treasurer. The revised constitution requires five. The presi' dent, vice-president. >ecretary, and treasurer of the Student Government Association will serve on the legislative board. A chairman, elected by the student body, will preside over the meetings of the judicial board. Definite Improvement Jo Savage, president of the Student Body had this to say about the new constitution: "I i think it's a definite improve- j ment for the college, because the student body is growing so very ; much. With the co-operation of i everyone, I think it will be very efficient and will eliminate some of the criticism of the past studnt government- " , "Being an officer of Student Government ll an excellent opportunity for someone and this would definitely give more people that opportunity.

By Donna Humphl tt Yesterday, the student body voted to effect the revision of the present constitution of Student Government. This revision is an attempt to relieve the customary fourteen people of so much responslbility and place it in the hands of more people. Major Chance The major change in the constition is the creation of a twobody Student Government to replace the present one body. The new Student Government will consist of a legislative board to make the rules and a judicial board to enforce them. Each class will have two representatives in each body. Another change is the number

Faculty Adopts Grading System, Begins Next Fall In a meeting hMd last week, the faculty adopted a new fourpoint grading system which will become effective beginning with next year's freshmen. The system will not affect any student who is already at Longwood. Under the new system, four quality credits will be given for an "A," three for "B," two for "C." one for "D," and none for "P." Under the present system, three credits are attributed to an "A," two to a "B," one to a "C," and none to "D" and "P." All work completed at Longwood or another school toward a degree will be counted toward a student's total quality points. Grades earned in courses repeated will be averaged in equally with the original grade. Under the present system, the original grade is thrown out and the repeated grade is recorded. The new system calls for a change in the indexing of student standing. For example, the present requirement of a 1.0 for Junior standing will become a 2.0. The change has been made in an attempt to raise the scholastic achievement standards of the college by making requirements more difficult and by placing the college on the same grading level with other col-

By Donna Humphlett Le Cercle Prancals will present the film version of Mollere's comic play "Le Bourgeois Gentlhomme" i"The Would-Be Gentleman") January 5 at 7:30 p.m. in Jarman Hall. Admission will be fifty cents. Filmed in Paris by the "House of Mollere," the movie centers around the title character, Monseur Jourdaln, who is an extremely wealthy bourgeois. When he aspires to all genteel qualities, he gathers around him instructors of music, dance, fencing, and philosophy. The result is a lively satire on the pretension of a silly rich man to the snobbery of the aristocracy. English subtitles are provided.
Leukemia Cure Seen In Future One of the most recent discoveries in the broad program of leukemia - related research, supported by the American Cancer Society, suggests that a vaccine may one day be developed to control this form of cancer In humans. A Chicago scientist reported at a Society meeting that he had injected human volunteers with a substance taken from persons wiio died of leukemia. Blood serum from these volunteers was then able to protect mice against leukemia. No method, however, has yet been found to cure or prevent leukemia in humans. The Society needs your support to step up rerearch on leukemia and all forms of cancer. Support the 1961 Crusade of the American Cancer Society.
Madonna Presented Following Theatrics Students View 'Littlest Angel' Thursday Night By Glnny GHmore The well-known tale of the delinquent child angel who makes a supreme sacrifice in giving a gift to the ChrM Child will be presented to Longwood students, guests and faculty members in the annual Christmas Pageant tomorrow night. The Halo "The Halo," an original Christmas play, based on the story of "The Littlest Angel." was written by Mary Beth Olson and will be directed by Bert Coldiron. The play will be pantomimed by actors on stage while the voices will come from back stage. Lighting, under the supervision of Jean Brlstow, and a choir of angels, directed by Betty Ann Rex, will add to the effectiveness of the production. Timmy Untruthful Timmy, the newly arrived agel, played by Carol Baumgardner, finds himself before the gates of Heaven as the play opens. Here his troubles as a citizen of Heaven begin, as he not only is late for his appointment with St. Peter, but is caught telling fibs about his past life on earth. God's wrath is evoked, and He frightens Timmy into truthfulness with bolts of lightning. St Peter, played by Ann Carroll, reprimands him for his untruthfulness and for failing to mind his parents. God's voice, with a choir of angels in the background, coming from backstage, recites the Ten Com mandments. As Timmy stands shamefaced. St. Peter explains to him that God is forgiving, and then proceeds to inscribe his name in the Roll of Heaven. He opens the gate and Timmy is given his
fust view of Heaven, with ungels hard at work polishing stars, ping clouds, and making nowflakes. I .ii

Timmy proves to be a slow learner, and his first year In II avec | roves to be a year of many hail storms on earth, because he has so much trouble making snow-flakes. He || finally rewarded with a tiny star of Ins own. More years pass until Gabriel himself visits Timmy's corner of Heaven, and orders the removal of his little star. Timmy is heartbroken, but his sorrow is short-lived, for Gabriel commends him for his good conduct and hard work, and rewards him with a halo, making him a full-fledged angel. Christ Child After Gabriel places the halo on Timmy's head, he tells all the angels of a coming event, the greatest in the history of Heaven. As the narrator reads the story of the Christ Child from the eriptures, Timmy and the other angels look upon the nativity scene. Timmy, at fust puzzled at the wc i ship of a mere child, Is touched as St. Peter explains that He is the Son of God, and tells him of His mission on earth.

(The following feature is based upon an article recently publishen in Tim- Magazine.) By Mariana McSweeney The Berlin crisis and the danger It threatened touched off a sudden interest in the United In civil dt fense. President John F. Kennedy In his ad00 May XS, 1961, emphasized the fact that the Civil Defense program to protect the civilian populace would be very ive. He also reminded the American public that Civil Defense cannot give complete blast protection in event of a surprise attack. People gathered in public places and private homes began i rjj euss the possibility of personal protection afforded by home fallout shelters. In many modern cities, business buildrigs erected In the last ten years have provided special shelters for employees. But what protection would a housewife in Newark, New Jersey, have if a bomb were dropped on Manhattan? First Warning The first warning of a nuclear attack would be a blinding flash, seen for hundreds of miles. Almost everything in a one-mile radius from the point where the bomb is dropped would be totally destroyed. Some reinforced concrete buildings might remain standing within five miles of the central point. However, all wood-frame structures would be wrecked within a ten-mile radius.
bomb was dropped. Shelter Cost A more elaborate shelter may cost upwards of $1,500. However, the Government has made available blueprints for simple basement or backyard shelters. These may be constructed of steel, concrete, or wood and may be built for $150 or less. What provisions are necessary for survival once Inside the shelter? A two-week supply of both food and water are needed It is recommended that water be placed in plastic or metal containers. Canned foods will last for an indefinite period. It is advised that the foods chosen have a minimum of salt content. This will inhibit thirst. Every shelter should haw an air-intake-exhaust system, a first-aid kit. and flashlights. There are numerous other small items, such as. air purifiers, garbage cans, matches, and can openers, which are also useful. Moral Question There is also a moral question involved in the erection of fallout shelters. What Is a man to do if his next door neighbor is shelterless and attempts to Invade his private shelter? To take the neighbor In would mean sure death for himself and his family. However, exactly what can the man do when he finds his friend begging for protection? Americans must remember that it is best to "be prepared" at all times. Those who oppose the erection of fallout shelters may realize that only by being ready for any aggressive move on the part of other nations can Americans hope for survival.
The most dangerous of all the bomb's effects would come after the heat and shock waves due to the radioactive fallout resulting from the upheaval of earth caused by the tremendous Jolt of the bomb. This earth and debris is carried more than 100,000 feet into the air and mixed with more than 200 types of radioactive particles. Wind and atmospheric conditions will cause these particles to fall back to earth in quantities which are quite harmful.
