'Wonderful Wednesday*Self- Education
Shell's Yells f
"Giving students on incentive to educate themselves" — this is one of the greatest challenges facing undergraduate education, according to Dean John Stephens of Atlanta's Emory University. Emory and Dr. Stephens think an answer to this challenge may have been found It's called "creative Wednesday," and it is a day during which there are no classes or student activities. The school's 2,187 undergraduates are left free to pursue any activity they choose, whether it is studying, reading, taking up hobbies or independent study, or just resting The result of this midweek break is a higher classroom attendance, and 24% of the student body on the Dean's List, as compared with 21 1 % before the change was instituted. No one was really surprised when the faculty legislative committee council voted overwhelmingly to continue "Wonderful Wednesday" — as it now popularly known — for another year "Giving students an incentive to educate themselves" — this, is the key to "total education," the ominous problem faced by every institution of higher learning. For many years administrators, professors, and .t.Vidents alike have contended that learning is not conf red Solely to the classroom, the laboratory, or the study carrel. It is here that lectures are given, notes rapidly scrawled or transcnbed, ideas discussed," theories formulated. It is here that the complicated process of learning begins. The knowledge a student acquires in the classroom is only the «S«ubasis upon which he begins to build his stock of total knowledge. And it is this "total knowledge" toward which "total education" strives You never can tell. Chi may be your best friend!

Oleg Cassini Says IT'S A SENSUOUS REVOLUTION Madame, if you ever had any doubts about which sex is th most influential, look around. While it is true that you may see or wear - epaulets, blue jeans, man-tailored shirts, or links i your cuffs, that is not half so significant as what they are startle to wear - and do. Why, it is a veritable revolution, inspired t the female of the species, for a change and at last. Primarily, it is the preening instinct that is being reawakens in men, the desire to look desirable and to smell thusly. It i an indulgence in sensuousness, the pleasing of the senses. Whil this seems to be an innate and timeless quality in women, it is raor of a sometime thing in men. There are generations and epochs in which this kind of masculine vanity is everywhere 'and paramount. It seems particularly tied up with royalty' and the courtly life, from which it filtered down to the various lower strata of society, getting more and more diluted, the lower it got. It is also tied in perhaps less closely with the power relationship between the sexes. I am sure that a good case could be made out for the gradual decrease of male preening as the female ascended in strength, power and influence, both legal and domestic. And in the United States, where women have reached perhaps their zenith of dominance in this century, the masculine urge to beauty and refineOLEG CASSINI ment has been submerged almost entirely-. Until recently, Europeans (both male and female, who kno how to enhance themselves) decided to invade the American mark« and glamorize the men. They know what to sell, and we know ho to sell it (how to package it, promote it and make it seem desirabl "in"). So, while some Europeans are exporting flowered shirts t us, others are cosmeticizing men, which is really not the sam thing at all. There is a certain class of men, to be sure, who have alway equipped themselves with fragrant toiletries, emollients, salves manicures, soaps and the like. As a matter of fact, there have bee two such classes of men: a small number of upper-class men wh might in other times and places be called artistocracy, and a equally limited number of any-class men whose masculinity i1 suspect. Only a fool or an innocent could not tell one group froi' the other in spite of their smell. But that numerical limitation is no more.

Now if that should strike you as a less-than-masculine idea give second thoughts to your appraisal.

Why should his values b any different from yours, when it comes to looking young and attrac tive? And why should you persist in equating masculinity wit ! callouses and cracked fingernails and an abhorence of the ver things that would make him more attractive to you? FASHION MIRROR The waistline isn't just returning, it is returning with a vengence, both here and abroad. And along with it Is coming that old counterpart, the full skirt. It can be gored or gathered, but sure enough there it is sitting right below the fitted bodice and the belted waist - just as if it were fifteen years ago. There is much to be said for this line: it is comfortable for walking and moving about, it swings saucily when you do, it has a certain carefreeness about it when short and bouncy. And of course it accentuates a delicate waistline. Also, It tends to come with a fairly fitted bodice, so while hips are obscured, the bosom is not (unlike a shift, where the hip girth may be obvious, but the loose midriff minimizes the bosom). That alon« will receive applause in some quarters. FASHION TIP There are several products available now for women who wan to impart a stiff or wrinkle-proof finish to clothes or fabric.

Archers Practice For Coming Tournaments All those interested in participating in Varsity Archeryare asked to come to practice from four to five o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first match will be the Intercollegiate Archery Tournament lasting from April 10 to May 19. Participants will shoot during these days and mail their best scores to the National Archery Association. Eight girls make up a team for this match and two teams are used. This allows 16 girls to participate, and Miss "B" is very hopeful that she will have enough girls for both
teams. Other matches include a dual meet with Westhampton on May 1, and a dual meet with Hollins on May 12. There is also a meet scheduled with Randolph-Macon Women's College, but the exact date has not yet been set. On May 8, 9, and 10, a Telegraphic meet will be sponsored by the National Collegiate Archery Coaches Association. The Virginia D.G.W.S. IntercoUegiate Telegraphic Archery Tournament for Girls will be held on May 18. In both of the telegraphic meets the scores of the girls will be telegraphed to be compared with other girls' scores from different areas of Virginia.

Lacrosse is a relatively new sport at Longwood and therefore Longwood does not have a team, but enough interest was shown by the girls for Longwood to accept the invitation to attend the tournaments at Westhampton. The purpose of the field day was to pick the best players from the surrounding colleges to play the lacrosse team from Great Britain which is touring the United States. The teams who took part inthe field day were: Westhampton College, College of William and Mary, Longwood College, Mary Washington College, Sweet Briar College, and the Virginia Club Team. Longwood and Mary Washington combined to form a triteam since the girls from Longwood were inexperienced. Longwood had as many girls as possible playing in three of the six games. Miss Huffman commented that she was very pleased with the girls'playing and if enough interest is shown, lacrosse could become as popular at Longwood as field hockey.
