May Day: 1967 Style Traditions ore charming but with the passing of time they lose their appeal Such is the case with our annual May Day at Longwood There was once an era when Longwood Ladies anxiously awaited that first Saturday in May when they could romp and cavort around the maypole, bedecked in festive costumes Much anticipation preceded this special day when all coeds could frolic in the Dell. That era has ended Longwood girls of the 1960's have shied away from such antics, and in several cases, have suggested that Longwood revamp its May Day festivities This year we will still have "Around the World" in the Dell, but the May Day committee has heeded your advice and added some new attractions to this May celebration A special luncheon hos been planned, a reception will follow the festivities in the Dell, an Open House will be held in all dormitories, and a semi-formal dance will climax this May of 1967 The May Day committee has asserted much effort to include these attractions in this year's program to please you, the students Your interest and participation in these activities can best express your appreciation
Guest Editional
The Aim Of Education . . il)d. Note: The following is a guest editorial from "The Keystone." the student newspaper at Kutztown State College in Kutztown. Pennsylvania.)
y
The aim of education is to mold men, not to produce knowledge The aim of a college student is to learn how to live, to learn how to think, to become civilized, not to become a scholar But the aim of today's education must be to make the student a scholar The aim of today's college student, after not being fulfilled in four years of undergraduate school, remains the same The student still wants to learn how to live and how to think In hopes of fulfilling this aim, the student with the bachelor's degree goes on to graduate school where he undergoes processing the end result of which is the production of a professor whose aim is to know rather than to be The college student who yearned to live and to think is now one of those who in undergraduate school did not help him fulfill his aim With such a cyclical progression, how can the aim of education, to mold men, be accomplished? Take note of today's college professors. How many are there who know any tidbit of factual information and who yield this information from their learned lips in response to any questions? And how many of these some professors, when asked an opinionated question, become a machine that ticks off everybody else's opinion — every critic's opinion, every writer's opinion, every philosopher's opinion — everybody else's opinion but their own' Do they not have their own opinions'1 Have they nothing to say for themselves? Are they not allowed to say what they think? What has become of the free-thinking, free-living, free-speaking undergraduate who, after graduate school, was going to teach on the undergraduate level and was going to mold men, not process scholars Many have become the victims of the process of education Many now have nothing to say They can say only what others have said or what others have taught them to say Many are now satisfied with the obvious and irrelevant. They are afraid to dig into the less obvious and, perhaps, relevant. They now yield the typical trivial discoveries which are usually of a laborious nature Many have |ust become conservatives, traditionalists and are afriad to be different, no, not radicals — just a little different from what they used to regard as "the educator." But education should be proud for it has succeeded in squelching the free-living, free-thinking minds into the "educated" person willing to impart his knowledge unto free-living, free-thinking young people This will provide for the best of all possible means of processing a student into an "educated person."
No matter what shape you are in summer is to be fun!
Musings By GWYN MUSE
Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: As a waitress of three years standing, I would like to make a reply to the student who feels that the dining hall policies are unfair to her. Has she ever tried to feed 1600 girls? Has she ever substituted in the dining hall? Apparently, there are some "students?" at Longwood who think that they are guests at a resort or something. The main reasons tables in the dining hall are closed are: 1. people do not come to meals— a. they don't like the food b. they are on the roof, sunning c. they are studying d. they are away from school for some reason or another 2. they have been excused early— for Longwood Players, Circus, Varsity teams 3. another reason your table may be closed is that it has been reserved for guests. If the student who wants all the tables to remain open all the time will pay for the extra food that will have to be thrown out, I'm sure the dining hall people will try to arrange this. Of course, if every student who is living in the dorms will attend every meal and eat all the food at that meal (NO PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY), then the food waste at Longwood would be cut down greatly and all the tables would have to be opened. If this can't be arranged, then if those

Why are tables closed, you
ask. For many reasons: because guests of the school need to be accommodated; because groups or committees need to eat early and the tables are used then; ' because students go on picnics
iand trips; because at almost ! every meal a certain number of girls don't come, particularly on warm, sunny days. Tables are not closed to discourage students
who would like the tables to remain open all the time will pay an extra $100 to $200 for the food that will go on tables that will not have people at them, then I'm sure something can be arranged. As for substitutes, they cost money. Waitresses get paid toy the block, and if they get substitutes for some meals they must pay for them out of their own pocket. The student stated that she hardly had the energy to drag herself to the dining hall. How would she like to work in the dining hall for two meals a day and breakfast every other day? How often does she get up at 6:00? Would the student like for Longwood tohave cafeteria style? Can you picture 1600 girls going through two lines for every meal? Remember the lines at breakfast during exams? Finally, I want only to say that most girls here probabh realize that this is a college and one can't have everything as one would like it. And tc those who want everything theii own way, I think it's time thej take a good look at themselvej and see whether they are mature college students or spoiled children who must have everything they want.

These additional things may account for the tables being closed to the regular occupants The majority of the student body does not realize that i the entire dining hall was oper, for every meal, there would bt a tremendous waste of food thereby increasing cost. Neithei do we think that the most o us would enjoy the cafeteria style, under conditions similar tothost which we experience every Sunday night. Another misunderstandini seems to be the substitute sys. tern. If a waitress desires 01 needs a meal or weekend off she is responsible for obtainini her own substitute and payini her.

Committee Commends Academic Calendar Mr. Warren 0. Eyster 1967-68 Session With a colorful and varied background, Mr. Warren O.Eyster, instructor of English, is also a novelist, and a jack-ofall-trades. After receiving his B.A. degree from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, he served in the Navy four years, worked in steel mills, with the Army Air Corps at Langley Air Force Base, served as managing editor for a New York publishing firm, and even sold life insurance and Fuller brushes trying to gather enough material and time for his writing. He has published three books and one short story. His first novel, "Far From Customary Skies," was published in 1953 in the United States, England, Denmark, and Sweden, and deals with life on a naval distroyer. His second book, about life in a steel mill town, is entitled "No Country for Old Men." For his third work, Mr. Eyster drew upon his experience in Mexico where he spent five years. While there he worked for a time with the American Friends Society in the reconstruction of villages. "The Goblin of Eros" deals with the primitive conditions ofWestern Mexico while developing the theme of the impossibility of a successful revolution there. In 1964 he published a short story in "The Saturday Evening Post," "The Homecoming of the Children." Next to his greatest love, writing, Mr. Eyster enjoys teaching. He taught for five years

with the public school system, mostly in Bath County. Besides teaching classes at Longwood, Mr. Eyster is the sponsor of the "Rotunda." He has done graduate work at the University of Virginia, and is now working toward his Master's degree here at Longwood.

Cross Campus Reveals Protest Everywhere By PHYLLIS HUMMER Protest, protest everywhere . . .Maybe it is the time of year that is causing students to rebel against, well, you name it. At Old Dominion College in Norfolk, nearly one - thousand students participated in a rally to register protest against the existence of noon hour classes. Students marched to the Administration Building where student petitions were presented requesting the elimination of classes at noon. Sponsored by the Student Government Association, in conjunction with other student organizations, the rally featured a series of remarks by student leaders. The remarks of all speakers centered around the

detrimental effects of noon hour classes to extracurricular activities and intramurals. It was charged in the speeches that a liberal education was not possible at Old Dominion as long as noon hour classes hampered the activities of student clubs and organizations, and that classes should be eliminated. The students won; at the end of the current academic year all noon classes will be eliminated. At Louisburg College, In Louisburg, N. C, about 150 students protested the decision of the Women's Judicial Board to suspend two women students for coming on campus "under the influence" of alcohol. The crowd was dispelled when the Dean arrived and agreed to meet with two student representatives the following morning. The Judicial Board decided not to retry the cases, however, the activities resulted in starting a widespread drive to get the interpretation of the drinking rule clarified and reinterpreted. At Duke University in Durham, N. C, students are protesting searches by the Student Government, which is attempting to rid all students of electrical appliances in their dormitory rooms. Oh, those popcorn poppers are causing more grief!
