Reported Missing: Class And Color Spirit
What has happened to the class and color spirit that once was a part of our college life? There was such a lack of participation in class hockey that the managers had to schedule many extra practices Even then there were not enough girls with the correct number of practices for a class team to be chosen The Athletic Association had to amend its constitution so there would be enough players eligible for the class teams. At least 2 class games were forfeited due to a lack of players. The class hockey games were pushed back so far by the scheduling of extra practices that the color games have now run into Rush and X Aml?vsH.Mfr only 1 color game has been played. I realize that 4 and 5 o'clock classes have some influence on this situation, but in a school of 1600, the participation should be much greater than it is. The class tennis doubles also presented a problem. The Seniors and Juniors had only one team each representing their class, NOTHING the Sophomores had 2 teams, and the Freshmen had 3 Now that the intraclass matches have been played, the members of the class teams simply "cannot find the time" to play their matches. The class tennis doubles manager is now wondering if these matches will ever be played. The A. A is doing its best to fulfill its purpose, but the lack of spirit, enthusisam, and participation is putting a damper on what the A A is trying to do for the college Are You RUSHIN'? The purpose of the A. A. as stated in the constitution is "to promote and provide opportunities for participation in athletic and recreational activities; to recognize outstanding participation by members of the student body, and to stimulate wholesome school and class spirit." And now a word about the spectators, or should I say Non-spectators. There were approximately 1 5 spectators at the first Color hockey game, and that figure may be an exaggeration. There may have been only 10. How can we expect the teams to have spirit and enthusiasm if the student body shows no interest?

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Student Gov't. Advisor Defends Board Decision My dear Editor: It has been my pleasure, and honor, to serve as faculty advisor to Student Government, now designated as Judicial Board, for a total of seven years. Five of those years were in the distant past, the 1940ies. Such association ought to give me a better understanding of student selfgovernment as it actually operates in the trial of cases than can be gained by the rumors which fly wildly when a difficult case arises. It is my considered opinion that the present Judicial Board is as able and conscientious such a group as has ever existed on our campus. That judgment is based upon knowledge spanning the forty years since 1926. No one can have the basis for a true judgment of Judicial's actions until one has sat through its sessions which frequently extend into the early hours of the morning. I believe I have as deep a faith in the Honor System, and as sincere a regard for student self-government, as any one on this campus. Without reserva-
tion, I entrust those sacred institutions to your present Judicial Board. Sincerely, G. G. Gordon Moss
Student Writes To Defend Board Over Judgment Dear Editor: After reading the letter to the editor regarding recent Judicial Board proceedings I feel that perhaps many students at Longwood should use greater maturity of judgment before criticizing certain aspects of Student Government about which they know very little. All too often these girls are influenced by gossip of others, based, in most cases, on inadequate and distorted information. They fail to use mature reasoning and to form logical conclusions based on intelligent thinking. Most important, in cases of questionable circum(Continued on Page 4)
though the privileges often entail exacting qualifications. This fall, the University of Massachusetts abolished all women's hours, and the University of Oregon did likewise for its sophomores and juniors. For several years, seniors and women over 21 have had this privilege at Oregon. All upperclassmen at the University of Utah are now eligible for keys to the dorms, but only if they achieve a 2.5 average (out of 4.0) The University of Illinois will experiment this fall with unlimited hours and key privileges for seniors. If the system is successful, the loosened regulations will extend to juniors and women over 21. Telephone Signouts Women at the University of Pennsylvania, tired of rushing back to their dormitories at two minutes to twelve because they forgot to sign out, have initiated a trial system of telephone signout for lates. Formerly girls had to sign out personally for
lates which could extend to 1:30 a.m. on weekdays and 2:15 on Saturdays. Now a girl may call her dormitory and request someone to sign her out for those hours. A girl does not have to sign out any time prior to midnight. Although women must register their destination with house proctors in case of emergency, sign out cards are placed in an envelope and not opened unless necessary. Last year, the Pennadministration allowed senior women to set their own weekend curfews. Seniors do not have keys, but ask a friend to wait for their return. Vote For Curfews At the University of Rochester every class votes on its own curfews. After a long battle to allow men in the rooms, women at Smith College can now entertain their male friends from two to five on Sunday afternoons. Doors have to be open six inches, and three feet must be on the floor. And at the University of Georgia, administrators are just now allowing women to visit men's apartments. The university does not consider one room an apartment, however. Bathrooms don't count as a room either - but a kitchen might.

Oleg Cassini Says Don't Believe Everything You Read Just recently I read a fashion headline that went something like "Will Black Come Back?" - and I saw red. The implications of that seemingly innocuous little headline were many, and none of them pleasing to my way of thinking. In the first place, who ever said that black was gone? A little coterie of pampered women who listen to the dictates of other pampered women and some pampered little men. A little group of women who can afford to indulge all of their whims, even the invalid ones. And the logical assumption which follows is that this same elite of cognoscent will soon deem that black is to return (or have already cast the die). It is positively sickening. It is sickening to see the way the mass media, having nothing better to discuss in their women's sections elevate a few women into high priestesses, into oracles whose wisdom suddenly is profound and judgment inviolate. It is sickening to see these fads actually set up by the mechanisms of publicity. . .to see you set up for the next trend, as if once these women wear it, that's it - alternatives flee and another fashion imperative has been legislated. But back to black and will it come back. Frankly, with the exception of the glitter group I have not noticed any conspicuous absence of it in my vast wanderings. And even they have resorted to it on occasion, usually announcing that it is a whole OI.KG CA88INI six seasons (displaying their frugality, one is to suppose). Black has always been sexy, suggestive, mysterious. And if you're young, it is also particularly flattering-no mean feat for one single color to perform. How many colors can you think of that are flattering to every complextion, every hair color, every eye color - until fading age overtakes you. There seems to be a rather slow and subtle transformation that occurs in women somewhere after 35. Then one day you notice that black no longer flatters and gives glow to the skin but rather seems to emphasize wrinkles, dull the eye and sallow the complexion as if in payment for all of its previous attributes. Any woman with half a brain and open eyes knows from adolescence which colors are hers and which aren't, which she is always wearing when people tell her she looks wonderful, which her own senses enjoy. That sensitivity is part of being a woman. And any woman would be a fool to discard or even minimize any color which is good for her, no matter what the women's pages say. How much better to be out of step with the unthinking hordes and to look your most marvelous! And it takes so little sense to realize this. Yet it seems to be more than most women possess. They would rather look like everyone else than look well. Or maybe they just want to prove that they read the newspapers. FASHION MIRROR Winters come and winters go, and a part of every scene for a goodly number of years now are coats made of pile. Anv number of synthetics can be used to make a good, fluffy longwearing pile. Most are extremely tough and warm, and the price range varies with what the coat is trying to do. Some pile coats try to look like nothing but what they are: fuzzy bundles of warmth. Others are designed to look like leopards, giraffes, and any number of denizens of the forest. Some of these latter ones come off quite well, and others don't pretend so hard, being more for fun. Because the pile can be treated so variously, styles are similarly diverse, ranging from evening dress coats to uncluttered little car coats that signify suburbia. Not bad for synthetics, eh? SYNTHETIC FASHION TIP IN VARIOUS On a list of favorities of the do-it-yourself gang, felt has got to rate very high on the heap. Its colors are wonderfully deep and vivid, in much the same way that construction paper has intense color, partly because there is no visible weave to felt. But that's only part of its appeal, the more important part being that it requires no hemming, in many if not most of its applications. This means, of course, that a handy girl can whip out an apron or even an at-home skirt in next to no time at all. All she needs to be able to do is cut a good straight line with a sharp pair of scissors. But if hemlines ever descend, forget felt - or at least put away your skirts until the next time the skirts start rising.

Looking for something different to do, an entertaining place to go? Then watch for information about nearby cultural events on the new Cultural Affairs bulletin board, located before the entrance of the language hall. This bulletin board has been set up by the Cultural Affairs Committee of the Legislative Board to answer student complaints about lack of interesting and varied things to do. For the present, the Committee's purpose is to publicize cultural events in nearby cities and on other college campuses in order to bring about more cultural awareness to the student body.
Information about these events and for obtaining tickets can be found on the bulletin board. Students have expressed an interest in various cultural events and the Cultural Affairs Committee hopes these students will make use of the bulletin board. Until the extent of student interest has been determined, the Committee will function solely to publicize nearby cultural events and act as a "clearing house" for putting such information on the bulletin board.

Varsity Hockey Team
Dianne Davis Shines
Finishes 66-67 Season
In Senior Spotlight
By LESLIE SEDGWICK Despite the late start due to foul weather, Longwood's Varsity Hockey Team proved that they did not suffer from it. Throughout the season, L. C. exemplified an excellent team with their wellexecuted skills and true school spirit. The whole team deserves congratulations on a job well done as they performed competent, proficient plays that were challenging to their opponents. Sometimes the games were slow moving as defensive players were busily repelling the offense. To whoever's offense awoke first, the aggressiveness of play proved to follow. And as it was so many times, Longwood was first. The offense bombarded the opposition in their frequent assaults upon the cage. At times their eagerness would get them in trouble but L. C. always rebounded. Quick action and alert attention to what was happening allowed I.. C. to gain the advantage constantly. If ever the offense needed that extra push to get them started, the defense was there to help out. The defense would block drives, take the ball away from the onrushing forwards, carry the ball down the field, feed the ball to the front line, and on occasion, strike for a goal on their own. As in every team sport today, the most important factor is teamwork, or else the whole system would fall apart. Certainly L. C. did not fall apart becauseof this fine quality. The offense scored. The halfbacks helped the offense. The fullbacks and goalkeepers acted as bulwarks against any opposing force that might manage to pass our front lines. Each player did her job and did it well. Each player worked with her other players to have a united effort, not merely to keep the opposition out, but to get that ball in the opposite goal cage and as much as possible, keep it ELECTIONSCOMMITTEE MEMBERS Senior Judy Koch Junior — Ella McDade Sophomore — Marilyn Green Freshman — Donna Sistrunck Gay Rice Kathy Still SCHEDULE MINOR ELECTIONS November 15 Hand out petitions 21 Hand in petitions by 11 p.m. 28-29 Sign petitions 30 Special story in "The Rotunda" 30 Legislative conference December 1 Judicial conference 5 House Council con-| ference 6 A.

Green And White Wins Color Game With Score Of 1-0 By GINNY SIRC Ground-sticks, ground-sticks, ground-sticks. . .and the first Color hockey game was under way! The play first went in one direction, then the other. The teams seemed evenly matched. Midway in the first half, Connie Spradlin, the Green 4 White right inner, pushed the ball into the cage for the first score. The Red «. Whites came back with fight and a determination that the G and W's would not score again. Many times the R & W's charged the cage, but the ball just wouldn't go in. The second half went scoreless for both sides, as the ball was first in one striking circle and then the other, but never in the cages. The low score of 1 to 0 shows that both teams played a fine defensive game. Members of the Green & White team are: Kathy Williams, Beth Rice, Jinx Washington, Sharon Williams, Becky Bondurant, Wanda Mitchell, Terry Fahrner, Peggy Shults, Connie Spradlin, Alberta Doran, Stephanie DuRoss, Dee Dee Holdren, Margaret Robinson, and Inez Colom. Players on the Red & White team are: Phyllis Carter, Carol Croxton, Marcia Franklin, Angie Smith, Judy Turner, Sara Toms, Betty 1 ayne, Judy Phillips, Ricky Howard, Nancy Corder, Joette Bailey, Ginny Padgette, Cherie Weeks, and Page Nance.

Student Writes To Defend Board (Continued from Page 2) stances few are willing to give the benefit of the doubt. In the past, Judicial Board has proven itself an effective and impartial body. Its dealings with students have been handled with utmost discretion and fairness. Where there are human beings acting in any capacity, there is always room for error; this is acknowledged. It is also conceded that anyone is free to express her own opinions, be they favorable or unfavorable. Criticism has often led to improvement when used properly. The point is that a member of the student body, who herself knows only a very small percentage of the actual facts and none of the intangible aspects involved in any case, is in no position to be accurate in her judgment of that case, or to offer an opinion of any validity regarding it. In this case the "facts" do not
always speak for themselves. The Jiid'oial Board is to be commended for its outstanding service rendered the student body during the past year. Judging from its past record, we, the student body, must trust the Board to remain impartial in its decisions; and where there Is doubt in the student's mind, let her be sure that she is aware of all the facts before criticizing or condemning unjustly.
