sure—only I was slightly greener. I tried to cross my legs in my state of uncomfortableness but Joints had hung a "sleeping" sign and they Just wouldn't work.
"Look Bud," I said feebly to my- self, "you're you and everyone else is everyone else and you're in the same boat with them; so be gal- lant, be brave." I wasn't very In- fluential with myself.
By this time you've no doubt guessed that I, a mere victim of— not circumstances—but S. T. C. had been subjected to the first day of classes.
I was asked to write a letter in English class and at first was very enthused, but then I realized that my latitude of experience in such fields of endeavor was ex- tremely limited. So after picking up my trusty pen and making a brave attempt at composition (to no avail", I put down my trusty pen. But, patterning the letter by one I had writ'.en long ago. I fin- ally succeeded in arranging a few select words to form the necessary
words. I didn't like it one bit so I tackled "yes—football style" my way right out of the door! My pride was extremely crushed un- til I was informed that the hurri- cane of words meant merely "Good morning and how are you". I persuaded my pride to give my mentality another chance.
Later I hopefully strolled into my Etiquette class only to find that Emily Post didn't approve of strolling and that I should walk briskly.
At last I came to that health- building 'or tearing down as the case may be> class, known as I'liyMcal Education. I about faced and left, abouted and right dressed until I could dress right when the time came to clothe myself.

Page 2 THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1947
Approved CallcrReguiations Deemed Unnecessary by Staff
What do you think of the new regula- tions that have recently gone into effect? Are you entirely satisfied with them?
We, Of the Rotunda staff, are of the opinion that while the new regulations are stiff in some respects, they are more liberal than ever in others. For instance, we like the new study hour. The halls are quiet and the atmosphere is conducive to study for the first time.
We cannot say that we like the idea of approved callers, though. We think we are mature enough to be able to judge for our- selves whom w« want to date. At home, most of us are not subjected to this and it seems very infantile that we should have to undergo this type of thing here at S.T.C. We would not mind introducing our friends
to our housemothers, but how can we pos- sibly list the names of all the out-of-town boys deemed suitable? The majority of students here are ladies in every sense of the word, and we have proven this. Our parents trust us and we deserve this trust. We can understand the administration's point of view, but is it really necessary to go to such ends?
Other than this particular situation, we think the rules are fine. Our Sunday privi- leges are all we could ask for and desire. We intend to abide by the regulations set up for us, and we indorse them whole heartedly as a whole. However, we do be- lieve the approved callers situation could be improved upon—how about you? Do you think this just or unjust '
YWCA Offers Opportunity To Fill Life's Measure A Latin motto reads, "Life is a measure

The Y. W. C. A. is one of the most active organizations ;it S. T. C, and it is tradi- tional for every enrolled student to belong to the Farmville S. T. C. chapter of the na- tional Y. New girls will be impressed dur- ing the coming year many times by the stimulating and impressive ceremonies con- ducted from time to time by our Y.
The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. reads in part: "We unite in the desire to realize a full and creative) life through a growing knowledge of God." The aim of the Y in college is the development of Christian character in its members, the promotion of the spirit of friendliness among all the stu- dents of the college, and the training of

leaders for future service. The Y. W. C. A. offers an opportunity
to each and every one of us to "fill the mea- sure of life". Numerous committees of the Association are engaged in useful work on the campus at all times. Every talent can be used in some branch of the Y and it is hoped that every new student on the cam- pus will give serious thought to choosing the committee upon which they would like to work.
But this chance to be an active member of a Christian association is yours now, even before a definite time of choosing ar- rives. S. T. C. is noted for its spirit .of friendliness. See that you contribute to that spirit every day—every hour. Be kind and helpful whenever a chance presents itself. Support the activities of the Y and you will find your every contribution returning to you—in a much fuller quantity.

Sauce According to last week's survey, the
transfers seem to like it here; assuming that the Freshmen do too, and confident that the old students are nuts about, (no, Harry, don't put the period behind the nuts this is no place for personal opinions!) We can venture to say that we've taken on that old "one big happy family" atmosphere. At any rate we've settled down and accepted the 3 pet peeves (homework, Saturday classes, and the food) along with all the wonderful things that come with being educated.
"A word to the wise is sufficient" so don't mention the word Minneapolis to certain members of this staff. You might e\oke donder and blitzen!
When there's nothing else to talk about, one usually resorts to the weathe-, or men, or food, or new clothes, or maybe nothing, both in general and in particular. Which all leads around the elbow to the fact that this column is mostly about nothing and sometimes something. If you know any- thing to go in it let us know, otherwise, this thing will go on and on just as is. In other words, ex nihilo nihil fit!
Kwryone has their favorite story about "the little Freshman who said" etc. etc. etc. Hut the scoop of the week; the delight Of ye columnist's heart is forthcoming. As all old students as well as the Freshmen and transfers know we have been giving tests on orientation this week. Thereby hangs our tale. In answer to the question "Who is the patron saint of our college" our prize answer was—you'll never guess. Tucker Winn, DO less. Take your bow Tucker you may as well take your place UnOng the saints aj tfl wait till some of your pupils' experiments "gang aglay".
Bed Check Once more fall is here 'n with
fall comes football games 'n you know what that means!
"Chub" Barksdale aho seems to be doing all right for herself these days. We just wonder what Jeff lias to say bout his roommate's inviting her to Virginia for the game. too.
Janie Fox and Corky are one of the most frequently seen S. T. C. H.-S. combinations round the
campus these days.
Mary Lawless. Lanie Gill. P. Alley, 'n "Hunky" were among our "old timers" back for a brief ttaj) over the week-end. It really was great seeing them again n we hope they'll hurry back again soon!
Tell us. Jane Simpson and June Nichols, how does it feel having not one—but three dates up for the same week-end?
Helen William's Harold, from all descriptions, must be simply 'out of this world"! We can't Wall to see him.
"Mitty" and "Sonny" make the best looking pair we've seen in ages.
We hear everyone had a mighty big time on the S. T. C.-H.-S. Presbyterian hayride Saturday.
"Ginnie" Walsh n Wally. from all we're seen 'n heard are "that way" bout each other. More pow- er to them!!!
Still excited over her big week- end at home, is Lela Bouldin. but then who wouldn't be if they had a cute man like hers just a-sitting n a-waiting for her.
•it couldn't be "Tiny's" getting his discharge soon, that's causing those stars we see in Tilson's eyes these days, could it?
You should've seen the greeting Gwen Cress got from Lawrenc Sunday when she went down to meet him in junior parlor. Must be nice!!
Joan Hahn is literally counting the seconds til the week-end, cause she'll be with her Donald.
The question of the week is— who are those darling boys we've been seeing "Vonnie" and Nancy with so often.
It must be true love with Mar- garet Dillon 'n S. T. with his com- ing up 'n everything every week- end.
Julia Booher "n her man are the most blissful looking twosome we've observed recently.
Jean Watts is still Lynchburg bound each week-end. Cant say we blame her tho, with Bill so eagerly anticipating her arrival.
Some giils have all the luck!— especially Anne Robinson. Daily telephone calls, telegrams h best of all—that hunk of man from Duke. Sigh! Sigh!
Have you all noticed Eleanor Withrows recently acquired dia- mond? We wish her and Johnnie the best of everything, always.
Charlotte Flougher and Doug are one of our "old couples" still seen together as often as ever.
We've noticed Louise Bergman with a certain Hampdcn-Sydney boy. quite a bit these days. Crad- dock sho is cute, Louise.
Looking forward to a big week- end in Richmond is Caroline Cal- houn. Wouldn't we all love to go along?
Esther Goffinger and Leonard Maxey are still seen together con- stantly around those parts.

"Little Spain" Existed Here When Spanish Workshop Met
By JEAN CAKE
Omnibus Westminister Fellowship held a
combined hayride and picnic Sat- urday afternoon. The affair was held at Logwood, and Mr. Rob- erts. Presbyterian pastor, and 111 Carolyn Eason accompanied the group.
Tryouts for the fall production of the combined Hampden-Syd- ney S. T. C. dramatic clubs are underway. The cast and title of the play will be announced at a later date.
s T. C.'s choir sang at the Methodist church on Sunday are- ning. Mr. J. E. Crawley was or- ganist in the absence of the reg- ular church organist.
Virginia Workshop for Teachers of Spanish. Thus read the little sign under which 30 people stu- died and played together last summer. Under the direction of Dr. Salvador Mangiafico, the workshop was primarily for the benefit of teachers and future teachers of Spanish and strove to give them the experiences and opportunity for study that a trip to a Spanish speaking country would give them. Among the members of the staff were Miss Eunice Coe, secretary to Dr. Man- giafico; Dr. Mercado, who is in this country as an exchange teacher from Bolivia; Mr. Oarcia; from Cuba and Senorita Maria Rosa Ortega y Gasset, a girl from Spam who recently graduated from Sweetbriar College. Among the 17 who participated in the workshop were Margaret Ellett, Eloise Stancell, Betty Bibb, and Betty Davey who were members of S. T. C.'s class of '47. Miss Emily Barksdale acted as registrar for the group and being the only member of the workshop that was allowed to speak a word of Eng- lish, she was the "go-between" for the group and the administration of the college. The eight Puerto Rican girls who were attending summer school here played an im- portant part in the workshop.
From June 17 to July 15 the Student Building was transformed into a "Little Spain". It was as though a small section of a Span- ish or Latin American country had been pasted on the heart of Farmville. All of the familiar plc-
m ire removed from the wails and in their places hung Spanish paintings. The corridor suddenly iici <nie an art gallery with Span- ish and South American scenes strung from one end to the other. In the lounge the flags of the various Spanish speaking coun- tries had their place near the fire-
I place and mantel. Also in the ! lounge were tables offering pam- phlets, books, and other literature of special interest to the work- shop. The Y" room was used as the seminar, and the music room became their classroom. Dr. Man- giafico had his office in the pub- lications room. The room next to the small auditorium was used for pronunciation drills, while in the auditorium itself their programs, shows, and fiestas were held. The men participant* were housed on second floor Senior Building, while the women roomed on the first floor.
Perhaps before we go any fur- ther we'd better tell you that each participant in the workshop sign- ed a pledge promising to speak only Spanish and not a word of English during their stay. This caused many an amusing incident and even more hard work. The activities of the group were enum- erable, both academic and social. Classes were held in the morning followed by seminar in the after- noon. They listened to lectures In Spanish, learned Spanish songs, presented short dramas in Span- ish, danced Spanish folk dances, and played Spanish games. Reli- gious services were held each Sun- day with prayers and scriptures in Spanish. Each night after sup- per their song fests were enjoyed by the workshop and observers alike. Everywhere they went the workshop group and their strange and beautiful language attracted much attention. Groups gathered about them to listen to their con- versation and hear their songs, or pointed them out on the street and in the stores with awe.
Bound together by their com- mon interest, the group was thoroughly congenial even though they ranged from an 18 year old to a grandmother. The little

Pleasantly installed in a room. I yawned and prepared to enjoy myself. Suddenly the door opened I and Mable Flitter burst protest- ingly into the room. Nurse Crute i put her in bed, told her to be good, and left. Mable had the' mumps! Since I had already had | them, she was placed in the room with me.
Mable soon told me, and any- one else within a radius of five miles, that she was going to Tech that week-end. Because of mumps, her plans were ruined. Her chance of getting pinned was \ smashed, slashed, and stymied. How could she tell Horace Cecil. I pride of the Tech Christian Tem- perance Union, that she had mumps? To think this would hap- pen to her at a time like this! Surely no one could or should suffer like this!
i I realized then, that my stay in
the lower regions (commonly call- ed the infirmary i would hardly be be one of quiet, peaceful soli- tude. But I was reconciled to my fate.
Mable had been talking steadily for an hour, when I dropped thoughtfully off to sleep. Just as Bilgie (of Smith, Smith, and Bilgewater Insurance gency. ten years hence', was about to pro- pose a clear, uncommonly cheer- ful voice rang out "Time for your inhalation".
Wonderingly I sat up—would it hurt! A paper bag was creased around my face. Then all became dark. When I opened my eyes, I found I was staring down into a bottle of liquid, from which came steam, smoke, and incence. The cumulating store.

Your first set of classes were over, your first list of books— "You only have to get these now. I'll give you another list for the second semester" seemed to stretch for miles and miles.

On (he Ball Hello, everyone! Another week
has rolled by and everyone should be enjoying at least one sport. Did you pick out at least one sport? Well, if you didn't, you will regret it when those bones start cracking everytime you move.
Come on out and show your In - terest. Don't get the idea that you have to be an unusually good player, because you don't.
I know some of you will be in- terested in the recreational swim- ming. It is a sure way of refresh- ing yourself after an eventful day of classes. Maybe you don't con- sider yourself "a fish in water, ' but you can still come on down and enter Into the fun and dab- ble in the water. Don't forget that swimming test you must pass.
Hocky classes have started so come on out and get in the groove. Don't put off until the next week what you can do thi.; week. Put on your shin guards and enter a hockey class, and ready yourself for the great event that is full of thrills and an oc- casional spill, all in the game ol fun. of course.
Have you been playing tennis? If you haven't, why don't you get in some good games of tennis be- fore the weather becomes too cold.
If you cannot get into any of the games, why don't you go for a walk? Have you tried the streets that lead away from the downtown mob rather than those which take you to the crowded walk of Main Street'.' These cool autumn afternoons are wonderful for a brisk walk to help you brace up before spend- ing a close evening in your room preparing for those next day'; classes. Give your lungs an op- portunity to take in pure, fresh air. and your mind a chance to wake up and to relax. Take into account the cool loveliness of these autumn days.
So long for now—but get into the game.

responsibility placed upon the stu- dents by the instructors in the classes missed. For example, If an instructor announces a test for a specific date and the student chooses to "cut" the class at that time, the instructor may deal with her case as he sees fit. The fact that the absence is excused in no way imposes upon the instructor the responsibility to give the stu- dent another test unless he per- sonally desires to do so. He may give her a grade of "F" or other- wise penalize her for her absence. It should be emphasized that each Instructor is in charge of each class that he teaches and is em- powered to handle such situa- tions as he sees fit. Students must realize that "cuts" do not limit their responsibilities as students.
I 6. Each absence from a class on the two days immediately pre- ceding and the two days immed- iately following a holiday shall count as two absences on a stu- dent's record.
7. Excuses for all women stud- ents, for reasons other than med- ical, must be issued by the Dean of Women. Such excuses for male students must be issued by the Dean of the College. ,
8. All medical excuses must be issued by the College Physician. (See pages 36 and 37 of the Stu-! dent Handbook for regulations governing medical excuses.!
9. No instructor shall initial any excuse that is not filled out PROPERLY and COMPLETELY and SIGNED by the proper offic- ial.
10. Excuses for medical reasons are not counted against the al- lotted absences earned for the grade averages described In Nos. 1. 2, and 3 above.
11. Except in cases of illness and emergencies, excuses must be Initialed by instructors and sub- mitted to the Registrar's office by the students PRIOR to their ab- sence. If this is not done, such absences will not be excused even if the excuses are later submit- ted.
12. Excuses for illness or for absence because of emergencies
must be submitted as quickly as possible and. In any case, not lat- er than two days following the Is- suance of absence slips by the Registrar's office as described In No. 15.
13. On alternate Mondays, be- ginning October 6, the Registrar's office will notify each student oi any unexcused absences recorded against her ior him, for the pre- ceding two-week period.

No correct- ions will be permitted after that time.
14. An instructor must not re- port a student as present on any date unless he or she attends the section of the class In which he or she Is enrolled. In other words, attendance in a section cannot be used to remove an absence from another section.

Skirts, Sweaters Invade Campus
East side. Wesl llde, :i 11 around the town, all the girls will notice that the skirts are coming down. Alone with the lengthening of skirts came cold weather, so skirt- 'n-sweater combinations have again invaded the campus. Per- haps the most prevalent among the Kampus Krowd are the plaids with predominating reds, greens, and black or winter white. Knife pleats, acoordlan pleats, kick plea Us in short, pleat* seem to be more popular than the straight skirts.
Since certain Other favorable factors have, shall I say. been par- tially removed from vtew, girls have apparently drawn the con- elusion that the only way to get "every man for herself" is to wear very feminine blouses and becom- iii!! sweaters With those skirts. A rainbow of cdlOCT pa... Hie eye daily in pull-overs and cardigans. The "sloppy joe" of previous years has almost disappeared to be re- placed by neater lines.

MeettheFacuity One who has endeared himself
to all. is Dr. George W. Jeffers. His favorite pastime is talking to people. He plays at golf when- ever he can get his feet right 'ac- cording to one of his close asso- ciates i. He also admits that hr likes tea: a fact that the seminar (lass will readily verify.
Dr. Jeffers obtained his B.S. and M.A. at Boston University and his doctorate at the Univer- sity of Toronto. His special field is the study of marine life. Dr. Jeffers is chairman of the Chapel committee, a member of the Ro- tary Club, a member and former president of the Virginia Academy of Science, and a member of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science.
Dr. Jeffers is vitally interested in improving the standards of the college. He has been called by some people "the squarest person I know" One story that is told on Dr. Jeffers is that of the freshman passing through the bi- ology lab who exclaimed "Look at that old stuffed owl" at which, the story goes Dr. Jeffers stuck his head out the door. Can't claim IU uue, but that's how the story goes.
"For he's a jolly good fellow" which nobody can deny.

Continued from Page 3 could do very well without that "maybe" and set to work. After scanning the bulletin board, roaming the halls and pestering everyone you knew and many you didn't, you acquired, if you were lucky, about four second hand books. That hardly made a dent in your list.
Grimly you wrote home—"I am
fine but I need money." Now to tackle the bookroom line you had been so carefully avoiding!
With your arms full of books, which should have had gold let- ters on silver pages, set with dia- monds, and perhaps two cents be- tween you and starvation, you re- peated again your chant "That's that," and added "I hope!"
Barely had you begun another letter home when your door op- ened—"Would you like to buy an
annual'.'" After assuring them that you most certainly would you cautiously inquired after the price. "Well-er. would you mind coming back later?"
In rapid succession came the other pleas—"Dues have to be paid by October 1st." "Tickets will be on sale immediately after dinner."
Laying your hand upon the nearest stack of books you grim- ly vowed never, never to utter
jthat phrase again. For truly It 'seems that "That is never that."
The area occupied by the Great Salt Lake is gradually growing smaller for the reason that the rivers flowing into it do not pro- vide enough water to keep up with the evaporation.
