Thr Swinging Mrdallions. 'fight wild. slightly goofy guys from the heart of Dixie." were featured at the third annual ring dance last weekend. They were quite impressed with Longwood. but were rather disappointed that Farmville offer .'d no open pool hall. They suffered another set back when they discovered no cars could be rented in Karmville. They did m.wi.ii.r to encage two taxis for their journey to Staunton Saturday night. "Double Shot." "She Drives Me Out Of My Mind." were included among the lavorite selections played, and also included were several unique presentations including "Ghost Rides in the Sky." "Along Came John," and "Long Tall Texan." They have recently taped ■ new album. "I Found A Kainbow," which will be released soon, and which they described as "tough, tough, tough." The weekend also included the traditional ring ligure Saturday night with music by the Khondels from Virginia Beach. A breakfast was served for the juniors following the dance. Also the sorority chapter rooms were open to guests Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Longwood 'Ladies' And Lack Of Consideration
I
Ah, the subject for an editorial Many thoughts cross my mind, but a recent comment I overhead keeps returning to my mind, "Oh, I'm used to my table. They're lust like my brothers, thoughtless " It's not really a stinging comment until you think about it awhile Is the term "Longwood Lady" a farce, or could we go as far as to say this concerning Christian charity3 Picture yourself in the LC dining hall What do you see? Look at the "LC Ladies." They don't even say hello to the waitress It's almost as if she is the servant and they are the aristocracy Listen to the cries of the lumberjacks, "More food, more food " Listen to the talk-"We have a lousy waitress She never tries to get us extras." Let's take a view of the table after the meal. The dessert plates should be stacked, the napkins should be placed in one group, and the glasses should be placed together. Simple enough, but this is rarely done Are we really so busy that we can't devote one extra minute to lighten the waitress's load? If you are laughing at the absurdity^) of this editorial then I would venture to say that you have never substituted in the dining hall. I guarantee you, it's quite an experience, and I didn't say pleasant Good manners as well as a sincere interest in other people cannot be turned off and on They must be cultivated This is a day to day process and if we wish to be a lady in the outside world, it's about time we acted like one in the inside world of LC. Announcements come over the intercom concerning this, and people snicker I snicker too, not because it's funny, but because it should not need to be said. It js,the little things that count!!
Passage Of "Late" Rule: Necessary For Longwood?
\
Wouldn't it be loverly — yes, it would. If only Longwood would incorporate into that list of rules one which reads something like, "Seniors, will be allowed four lates a semester, juniors three, sophomores two, and freshmen one. Now here is a rule to make the heart leap with gladness. Is it a necessity' No, but it certainly would add ease to the hectic life of an LC co-ed Perhaps if girls were permitted these lates, the term suitcase college would not be equated so readily with Longwood. Think of the possibilities. Instead of packing up and out for the weekend, it would be possible to journey to Richmond, Lexington, etc., for the evening without having to contend with the problem of money for rooms, and the like. You could take in that movie, (without having to leave in the middle), shop with the girls and treat yourselves to dinner, see a play or make use of any of the cultural advantages of a big city knowing that you can enjoy the evening without feeling uneasy or rushed because LC has a new rule. Several of the girls colleges in Virginia including Mary Baldwin and Randolph-Macon have this system in effect at the present What do you think, LC? We are open for comments and suggestions.

Musings By GWYN MUSE
Longwood girls are really remarkable. The change of appearance which occurred between noon Saturday and three o'clock Saturday was astonishing. The washed-out, tousled-haired, half-asleep bodies who gulped lunch were hardly recognizable as the coifed, carefully-dressed young ladies who walked into the concert. We're remarkable, ladies, really remarkable. ***** The recent exhibit and sale of original prints was impressive, but, alas, was just another reminder of how small the student's pocketbook really is. ***** About Sunday dinner: It's marvelous how the dining hall was nearly full by the time the doors were opened. Of course, some peons weren't lucky enough to be one of the seven girls to follow one guest to a table. ***** Those who regularly attend the Sunday night movie in Jarman will note a change of pace in our film fare. During exam period, "The Hoodlum Priest" and Peter Marshall provided the Saturday evening jollies, but now that we're back to the regular schedule of classes, the lightness of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and everybody's oldest boyfriend, Cary Grant, are appearing on the screen. Was it that the film committee thought we need all the help we could get? ***** Cabinet pudding: How long does it take, what secret is involved, in making a dessert look that unappealing? ***** Junior Weekend not only brought a little social life to our campus, it also brought a lot of cooing. It was love, love, love — everywhere. In the rec, in the kitchen, on the mall, in the dining hall, indoors, outdoors, upstairs, downstairs, everywhere. But the greatest scene of all took place Sunday afternoon in Grainger. Several couples, it seems, were quite successful in transforming classrooms into dens of emotion. Love on a Sunday afternoon is never so idyllic as when it's in West Wing. ***** Scoop from the Dean's office: Beginning in September '67, there will be no Saturday classes. Now for my next magical trick . . . ***** Just a few words about Junior Weekend: Yes, yes, yes. ***** As Longwood ladies trudge through snow, cold winds, and nearzero temperatures, bundled in coat, muffler, hat, and gloves, do they recall those warm days in January when two-piece clad coeds sunned on the roof?
All that glitters is not gold, the old maxim says. And it certainly speaks truth, because a lot of what glitters around town these days is silver, rhinestone, lurex, aluminum, and every kind of fake stone, from emerald to topaz. It is a sparkling season in the big cities, and if you are the basic black type, forget it. You'll either get lost in the crowd of sparklers or stand out like a sore thumb. (To some misguided souls you may even have a certain amount of appeal, but do not count fashion editors and gossip columnists among them.) It is quite common for glitter to appear on the scene around holiday time — this is not unique with the current season. What is different now is that sparklers are common place, making the rounds all year round, Fourth of July or Christmas, in private homes or hotel ballrooms. It is the new uniform. It is de rigeur. What has happened? Progress. Technical advance. Mass production. . .all the hallmarks of our age, and they have altered fashion as well as space travel. In times past, a beaded dress had to be hand sewn, each bead put on with loving if underpaid care. It was a luxury few could afford. Today, man-made jewels abound, and machines affix them to man-made fibers to set the world ablaze. Actual metals are used to make textiles, whether aluminum, gold, or who knows what else. Lurex, for instance, is a metallic thread whose cost is so modest thai even the poor, pitied working girl can afford to glow in the dark. Phosphorescence, previously the realm of Superman listeners with their magic code rings, how now made the grade too, in certain esoteric fashion circles. It isn't overwhelmingly surprising to see a bewitched young thing in her glow-in-the-dark miniskirt, maybe with some electric light bulbs (battery operated, naturally) twitching on and off. If you twitch a little too, it just means you are from those Superman days, when such things only appeared in comic books or science fiction. (If could conceivably follow that these young women look like emigrees from comic books or science fiction, but don't say I said so). But back to the unadulterated glitter which conservative types can live with. One problem with the beaded or sequined dress is that you can't treat it as an isolated thing. You can't just wear the dress — it will overpower you. The glitter dress needs highvoltage accessories to really work. This means a cleverly madeup face that won't fade into the woodwork. Heavier eyes, brighter mouth - whatever you say, but don't forget to do it. Shoes too must get revved up for the new look, and you can probably find silver and gold shoes in your nearest store — at reasonable prices. After a while, your benumbed senses will even get used to rhinestone footwear and other such curiosity pieces. And just a last reminder: the turned-on look is definitely not for girls with turned-off personalities. You'd better be able to open your mouth - to shout if necessary to be heard abov. tht nerve-shattering, trumpet-blaring sound of this year's glitter. It isn't exactly for the weak of spirit or quivering of nerve. FASHION MIRROR Caftans are becoming increasingly popular as more women discover how very comfortable and practical they are. The secret of their success lies in the great freedom of movement that they allow and even encourage, and this mobility makes a woman feel and look graceful and at ease. A caftan is surely an improvement over hostess costumes of a scant few years ago, which more often than not had very slim, even tight, skirts. While they may have looked chic, movement was next to impossible, and hostesses were seen mincing around their homes in great discomfort. Caftans are their prettiest in vividly colored and busily patterned fabrics that can range from cotton to silk. The busier the pattern, the simpler the cut of the caftan should be. FASHION TIP Never minimize the wonders of the basic black turtleneck. ' c.rto. ro. No longer the sole possession J Bl co*»'»i of beatniks, poets and artists, it is the all-purpose suit accompaniment for daytime wear this time of year. It looks well on nearly every conceivable type of woman, and many kinds of suits. It can even compensate for a suit whose coloring is less than flattering, since the black is closer to the face. Black, of course, is marvelous, but many other colors can do a lot for suits as well, and this is a good year to pick up a good supply of them, to last you through the years when turtlenecks may not be so plentiful. They are, to my taste, truly classic and can be worn nearly anywhere. I even find that they often flatter a sagging chin, although many women with that handicap are afraid of the turtleneck when they needn't be. 1

Dr. Harvill's work in the field of botany has taken him to many interesting places. He worked for the Firestone Company in the West African country of Liberia in rubber research. Later he taught for one year at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. By serving in the Military Branch of the U. S. Geological Survey, Dr. Harvill has been an instrument in our national security. He identified plants from aerial photographs where military action was anticipated. In this way our military will know what to expect as to the vegetation when troops are moved into new areas of the world. Dr. Harvill worked on the plants of Vietnam before the wartherebegan. The Academic Affairs Committee would like to congratulate Dr. Harvill on the outstand-
ing contributions he is making to the study of Virginia flora, and we wish him continued success in the coming years.

According to Cristy the University of Mexico has 80,000 students but there are no dorms on campus. The out-of-town students live in special houses in the city. She said of dorm life, "it is a good experience for girls; they become like sisters." "American boys-I like them!" "They are as nice as Mexican boys." When asked if there was any difference in dating, she said that the customs were a little different. For instance, a couple seldom goes out alone; they usually double date. In June Cristy will go back to Mexico but she said that she would "love to come back again."

Virginia AHPER Holds Meeting Last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday many Longwood students were excused from their Physical Education classes, as all faculty members of the Physical Education Department and many of the Phsycial Education majors attended the Southern District meeting of the American Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation and the meeting of the Virginia AHPER. These meetings were held at the Jolin Marshall Hotel in Richmond. Saturday was the big day of the convention — at 8 a.m. tration began. This was followed by an address, "Our Challenge from the Past," by Andrew Kozar of the University of Tennessee. Preceding the Student-Faculty discussion was the Southern District business meet-

This time it seemed to snow Madison baskets and Longwood fouls. The first quarter found L. C. too far behind to catch up.
