Recognition Requested Every society has members who pro unrecognized for their necessary-hov.cvcr unj'ijimoroiis — service! Lonjrwood's society is no exception. Its unn-coimized are its dining hall waitresses, The responsibilities of the dining hall waitress neither begin nor end with merelv serving their asled tallies. Before each meal they must set their tables. During meals they are on hand to get "seconds" on request from the girls sitting ai their tables. After meals they must clear the tallies. It is after meals that LongWOOd students are; especially inconsiderate of their waitres es. N'ot only do we linger at our tables, we "table hop." We are totally unaware of how difficult it is for a waitress to clear a table when there several people standing around it. Another sign of our lack of consideration is the stacks of dessert dishes that we acquire by rummaging through the dining hall in a search for seconds on a favorite dessert. We forget that if we bring extra dishes to our tables, someone has to carry them back to the dish room. And more often than not. that someone is a waitress. It must be said that although the waitresses do not expect to be rewarded for responsibilities that they have voluntarily taken, they do expect to receive some consideration. We can wait until we leave the dining hall before joining our friends and conversing with them. Next, we can return any extra dessert dishes that we accumulate to the dish room. By doing these simple things, we can remind the waitresses that we have taken them into consideration.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the various aspects of -atting. Dr. Carolyn Wells moderated the meeting. She said, "The purpose of this meeUng is not to condemn ratting. The Honors Council is an organization interested in improving the academic atmosphere on campus. It was decided to hold this meeting to discuss things wliich seemed to be undMlrable in one way or another.

Dr. Wells and Dr. Helms have suggested that ratting have a little terrorism, a little more friendliness, and at the same have the freshmen feel Inferior. Before opening the discussion to the group, Dr. Wells said, "The primary thing I would like you to get done tonight is to reach some decisions and express some ideas — take a long, intelligent look at ratting. Try to think the problem through. Make this nii-eting worthwhile. This is to provide an opportunity for discussion."

Shapes Roles Judith Anderson is a painstaking craftsman who will rework a single line hundreds of times for meaning, rhythm, and reality. Her method of absorbing a part is a curious combination of deep study and concentration. "I work until the character takes hold of me and shapes into a definite form. I do much more than memorize and give lines," she reveals. "The characterization must become a part of me." Although primarily an "emotional" acress, she spends long hours In study of all possible background material for a role Her home library has dozens of volumes ranging from the drama to the architecture of ancient Greece, and she has found that this knowledge has been essential to her Medea. When asked If she ever suffers from stage fright, she sighs in her expressive way. "Yes, I suffer terribly. I am very ner vous. When the curtain goes up, then I am all right." In giving advice to young people who ask her how she succeeded as an actress, she says. "W ork, work, work."

Lamar, who left Cuba in September. 1961, said his friend, writing under a fictitious name and address, said the Cuban people estimate there are about 40,000 Russians on the island. Lamar said this figure corresponds with information other, Cuban exiles in Florida have j told him they get from friends inside Cuba.

New revolving stage, the first of Us kind at Longwood. was used during recent production of "The Power of Darkness." by I.eo Tolstoi In
Jarman Auditorium March 14, 15. and 16. One set was used, mounted on rollers and revolved for scenes.
Busy 'Backstagers' Units Of Uniqueness The play presented last week. The Power of Darkness, owed' much of Its success to some workers who quite often are overlooked, the back stage crews. Outstanding among these were the scenery crew and the play production class, working under the direction of Barbara Grav Martin. Technical Director of the play, and the lighting crew under the direction of Barbara Stewart. Light Designer. Anyone who saw the play was sure to note the effective use of lights, the revolving stage, and the taped soliloquies which enhanced the tragic mood. Ruder Assists Sidekick to Baroara Stewart was Karen Ruder, who worked the light board as chief of th" light crew. Barbara, a senior with four years experience, has taught Karen quite well, as could be seen in the lighting effects in the play Other crew members van: Pat Wallace. June Wilson. Judy Wilson. Bon mie Abbott and Phylis Lasley. Special color projections were built by the light crew; these gels were uniquely arranged in 4 x 4 ft. frames to create the color spectrums on the cyclorama during particularly crucial scenea. Lights used were 12 ceiling lights plus 2 giant lekos, two olivettes. 2 p. c.'s for the color projections, and one special projection light for the digging scene. Also, a followspot, a speckal leko projection for the crossbars, and a strand projection light mounted on the second batten besides the usual cyclomora lights ai.d two battens of lights. Lights reached a high 1 point in technical development which has rarely been matched in any of the previous plays. Technical director, B. G. Martin, along with the scenery crew under Natalie Miller and Mr. Wiley's Play Production class sponsible for the construction of the revolving stage. The circular platform, and the
platforms on It, required about I wuafcl) for completion. On stage right was a truck axle a pir>" through the top for turning it. Ropes were arranged all around the underside of the revolver and extended through a pulley system to the axle. B. G. and Ann Coleman turnel the pipe which revolved the stage. Pulling the drop curtain Connie Birch, and operating the shutters on the stage ■ and stage left proscenium platforms were Pat Dugger and Alliene Tuggle. The base of the revolver is now a permanent fixture to ;i ■ scenery departmenty. By the revolving stage, only one setting was necessary, different angles being used for different scenes, and the former more lengthy procedure of changing scenery between acts was eliminated. This effect aided tl»' continuity of both plot and mood.

The students were generally In agreement They further agreed to meet with their class sponsor. Dr. Helms, to discuss ratting and to organize the ratting program for next year. In conclusion, Dr. Wells said, "Traditions should not all be changed. Many of them have purposes."
Sound devices were coordinat ed by Ann Persak. Soliloquies taped by the actors beforehand were played back to show the thoughts of the actors during intense scenes. Music which was typical of the mood was played before acts and during some >s. The effects of sound combined with the lighting deresulted in a successful Innovation.
