SAI Sponsors Hiffhty Tiffhties' Concert At LC
The Concert Band of the "Highty Tighties," the Virginia Tech Regimental Band will perform Saturday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium under the auspices of Sigma Alpha Iota. Directed by Mr. Thomas Dobyns, The Highty Tighties will play a variety of selections ranging from show tunes and march music to symphonic pieces. School attire may be worn to the concert, and there will be no admission charge. The band, originally ten men in 1883, consists of approximately 60 cadets, all volunteers, since there is no established music department at Virginia Tech. This is the first year that their director, Mr. Thomas Dobyns, has been a member of the Virginia Tech faculty. Their name, "Highty Tighties" comes from an incident at the victory march in Richmond after World War I. The drum major inadvertently dropped his baton and picked it up, seemingly unruffled by the experience. An onlooker shouted "highty tighties" meaning stuck-up. Band honors include, among many, being the only band to have ever won three consecutive First Place awards in the Presidential Inaugural Parade. Sigma Alpha Iota will host the Band at dinner in the dining nail. After the concert, a party will be given in their honor.

Wesleyan College Hosts Intercollegiate Meeting Thursday, April 6, marked the departure date for Longwood's student government officials, Linda Gardner and Carolyn Hingerty, President and Vice-President of Legislative Board; Elanor Walnes and Myra Boone, Chairman and Vice-Chairman of Judicial Board; and Sharon Bannon and Suzan Woltz, President and Vice-President of House Association - for Macon, Georgia. They attended a student government convention, the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Government, at Wesleyan College, in Macon. Driving down naturally required a goodly amount of time, so the first night was spent in Charlotte, N. C. The next day they proceeded on to Macon, routed through Athens, Georgia, home of the University of Georgia. Upon reaching Macon, and finally finding Wesleyan, accommodations were found in their senior dormitories, with a lake and insects in back. Discussion groups and general sessions were held in the following evening and next day, and many good points were discovered by our delegates, about Longwood and about other schools, too. Saturday afternoon, after the convention closed, the delegates decided to move on to Atlanta. So, off they went, spending Saturday night in Sherman's second home. They enjoyed the sights and accommodations-Peachtree Street, Georgia Tech, and Schwobilts, Blums . .. Unfortunately, Sunday rolled around all too fast. They started the homeward journey and safely arrived back in Farmville Sunday evening. Now, about the experiences...

Why Worry? Editor's note: The following poem was forwarded to "The Rotunda" by Dr. Alan Rhodes of the Chemistry department of Cleveland State University. The staff feels that it is an eloquent expression of the sentiment of the war. Why should you worry or give a damn About what happens in Viet Nam? Why is it any of your concern If men and women and children burn? Only a pacifist, saint or fool Believes in stuff like the Golden Rule. . . You know the answer — you know it well "This is a war and war is hell!" Yes, war is hell for the men that fight, Pawns on a chessboard, brown and white: War is death in a sea of mud To the sound of bullets and stench of blood: War is madness told as truth, Torturing women and crippling youth. . . But you know the answer - you know it weU "This is a war and war is hell!" Try to project what your thoughts would be If you left your home as a refugee: Try to imagine the sense of fear When the napalm scatters and flames appear. . . What kind of feelings would it inspire If you watched a child with its flesh on fire? Could you find words for the pilots above Who boast about morals and Christian love? War is a gamble played with Fate Where the stakes are high and the hour is late: War is the writing seen on the wall Which threatens to come and engulf us all... It's time to worry and time to care, It's time to pity and time to share; It's time to consider the Human Race And see ourselves in the other man's place. Richard L. Briggs
Michigan Coeds Rebel (Continued from Page 2) learn are stifled by the lures of evil and seductive coeds." Sophomore Suzanne Thaler thought she summarized the views of many coeds when she asked, "What kind of a wife do you want, Mr. Kniskern, a dumb broad who has a neat red XK-E or one who can balance a budget and discuss intelligently with you the psychology of behavior and the Viet Nam situation?" And from senior Barbara Mueller, "Mr. Kniskern seems to be looking for a woman who will be no more than his housekeeper and bed partner." Senior Michael Shier wrote that Kniskern sounded "like a man who has lost a satin-edged security object." Apparently seeing himself as the Paul Revere of the onrush, Shier proclaimed, "Take arms, take arms, the women are coming!!!"

Stombach took third place with her "Lakeside Lodge." The Watercolor division was lead by Rene Fishburne's "Inferno," followed by her own "Bambi," with Sandra Hansen's "Ballerina" taking third place. Frances Bain took first place in Prints for her clay print, foUowed again by Rene Fishburne's "Doe and Fawn." Rene Fishburne led the field again in crafts with her silver pin with abalone shell and her ceramic blue vase taking first and second places respectively.

Dr. Lane Attends Two Educational Meetings During the past week, Dr. Charles Lane, Chairman of the Social Science Department, attended two conferences; one concentrated on the teaching of history, government, and geography, and the other was concerned with resource use education. On April 14 and 15, the Ingleside Motor Inn, Staunton, Virginia was the site of the Second Annual Conference on the Teaching of History, Government, and Geography. "Teaching World Cultures through History and Geography" comprised the theme of the convention. Several prominent men In the field of social science delivered addresses to the delegation. Dr. Preston E. James, Professor of Geography at Syracuse University, spoke on "The Teaching of World Cultures: A Geographer's Point of j View;" an address approaching the same subject from an historian's point of view was delivered by Dr. Joseph R. Strayer, Professor of History at Princeton University. A representative of NASA, James V. Bernardo, director of the educational procedures division, also spoke at the convention; his talk was entitled "Implications of the Space Age for the Humanities." In addition to the gen-
eral sessions, at which time the addresses were delivered, the delegates to the convention, including some of Virginia's leading educators in the field of social science, participated in group discussions on pertinent topics. The Virginia Resource Use Education Council sponsored a conference at the Virginia In-B stltute of Marine Science, Gloucester Point, on April 17 and 18. The convention consisted of field trip, and a tour of the Marlne Institute, including visits to selected laboratories where researchers explained their projects. Following the tour, ther was a seine haul in nearby waters and a discussion of shallow water organisms in the Bay. The Virginia Resource Use Education Council sponsors several conservation workshops and programs each year and assists in education television. Several years ago, the council sponsored the governor's conference on conservation of resources. The council is presently thinking of revising its publication, "Natural Resources in Virginia;" this was also discussed at the convention.
