Warren, head of the biology department and dean of the summer session at Madison College, was elected president of the Episco- pal Churchmen of the Diocese of Vir- ginia at the annual conference at "Rosyln", near Richmond, over the weekend. Dr. Warren, a warden of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Harrisonburg, long has been active in Episcopal cir- cles of Virginia. He has served as Sunday School superintendent and as lay reader at Cape Charles, Ports- mouth, Charlottesville, and Harrison- burg. He is a member of the diocesean board for college work. The conference opened Saturday af- ternoon with an address by Bishop F. *D. Goodwin on "The Christian Steward." Saturday evening, George Hamrickhouse, of Richmond, and Armistead Boothe, of Alexandria, spoke on "Christian Social Relations." Dr. Warren conducted the service. After a corporate communion at 8:00 a. m., the delegates heard John E. Buddington, of Boston, president of the men's division of the Church Service League of the Diocese of Massachusetts, tell how the laymen in that area have developed a lay- men's counseling service for those in need of assistance. The plan has attracted national in- terest. This service provides assist- ance and direction for those with problems in the fields of education, employment, medicine, and finance. Named as delegates and alternates to attend the Anglican Congress to be held at Minneapolis in August, 1954, were Blake T. Newton, Jr., of Rich- mond, and B. Powell Harrison, of Leesburg. The objectives committee, led by Blake T. Newton, Sr., of The Hague, recommended five major objectives for the laymen during the coming year, all of which were adopted. Student-Faculty Panels Speaks For Wednesday Assembly A faculty-student panel discussion entitled "What the Student Govern- ment Association and Honor Council Mean to Us" was held in Wednesday assembly, October 7. The members of the panel were: Mrs. Ruth Wilkins, Dean of Women; Dr. Charles Cald- well, Professor of Psychology; John- nie Lou Thompson, President of S. G. A.; Dr. Raymond Dingledine, Pro- fessor of Social Science; Suzanne Roberts, Chairman of Honor Coun- cil; and Eugene Crider, President of Men's Student Government. Dr. Cald- well acted as Chairman for the panel. The program was opened by an or- gan solo, "Largo" from the New World Symphony by Dvorak, by Mr. George Hicks. First speaker of the discussion was Johnnie Lou Thompson who spoke on the "Scope of Student Govern- ment." She emphasized that Student Government is not a police force but an example of Democratic Represen- tation and Self ^Government. The students choose the officers and their representatives and therefore should abide by the laws set up by them. There are many departments of the S. G. A. to ensure happy living for all the students of Madison College. Susie Roberts then spoke on the "Scope of the Honor Council." The main objectives of the Honor Coun- cil are to prevent lying, cheating, stealing and to develop a sense of responsibility. We must bujld our character by working together, only in this way will be successful. The third speaker of the program was Mrs. Wilkins who spoke on "My Point of View to Student Government and Honor Council." Student affairs are the rights of the students under constituted authorities. Honor Coun- cil encourages integrity. The students are allowed to take tests unsupervised and the Library has open stacks. The only way to ensure these liberties is by everyone doing his part to help. Dr. Dingledine spoke on "My Point of View". He feels that a Stu- dent Government and Honor Council help the College achieve two major purposes: 1—To prepare the student to resume responsibilities of normal life—decisions made by the individual and 2—To provide . training for citi- zenship of a democracy—laws and rules for living. The Honor System helps develop a sense of honor, the basic quality of integrity. A nation must fiave leaders of integrity. Eugene Crider stated "A Student's Opinion." There are two purposes of S. G. A. and Honor Council: 1—An intermediary between the faculty and students; 2—To guard the reputation of the College. Being members of these associations make us better citi- zens and worthy of living in a democ- racy. Dr. Caldwell in his "Reason for Discussion" that S. G.

Dean Gilford Extends Welcome to Students

In the absence of Prresident G. Tyler Miller, Dean Walter Gifford is- sued this morning a welcome to the Madison campus to those attending a district meeting of the Virginia Edu- cational Association.

Two points were brought out in. his address and these, both teachers and educational officers must concentrate on. The first is con- cerned with the recruitment of more teachers. Each year a shortage of approximately one thousand teachers exists, a large number of which are needed in the elementary schools. A few reasons why the main deficiency lies in those systems may be: Many people seem to have the opinion that the elementary teacher is inseparable from her students during the entire day, that the same school program is pursued day after day, and finally that the salaries are lower in many instanced.

The second of those points stressed is concerned with greater co-operation among teachers. Perhaps by working together more and voicing their ideas and opinions professional activity may involve more common ideals.

In the case of an individual whose attitudes need improving, he will be given more incentive to increase the general quality of his teaching.

Dean Gifford commented on the night classes being held bi-weekly for those who are working on degrees or wish to renew their teaching certi- ficates.

Approximately thirty teachers are participating in the program.

Our Roommate's Roommate To often we look at our roommates and blame them for the clothes

that are lying around the room and the books that are out of place, but how often do we blame our roommate's roommate ? Is it the fault of our •roommate that we are grumpy and in a bad mood or is it the fault of our roommate's roommate?

Yes, too often we blame others for the faults that really are our own. We ourselves can make or break our college life. Do we make the most of every situation? Do we plunge into our studies with enthu- siam? Do we take part in extra-curricular activities which further our interest ? Do we take advantage of opportunities to participate in so- cial events and do we think of others? Perhaps these are the things that are lacking in our search for satisfaction and these are the things that we ourselves can do something about. We must realize that we can only get out of something what we put into it.

So the-next time we feel dissatisfied, don't complain to or about your roommate but analyze our roommate's roommate

Let's Have A Lake Wouldn't it be nice to have a lake on campus ? It is possible, with

the hope coming from the Newman farm that was purchased last year.

There is a stream that runs through this1 land, so if a dam was to be built across it and one of the lower spots flooded—what a dream of a lake that would make. Fishing poles would be stacked in the corner of the class rooms, just waiting for that vacant period to follow. In- stead of sleeping in the afternoons, one could doze over a rod and reel. Then there would be the nights with the full moon over head that one could go sailing, and who ever heard of a setting l!ke that without a man along, just to help with the sails, of course.

Would a lake be complete without a beach? Clean white sand to sun on and clear blue water for a swim, picnics along the shore, outdoor fire places all could be there; everything for a wonderful time. Yes, it is partly a dream but one has to dream a dream before he can achieve it. Fishing, swimming, and boating are just a small part of what could be. The prospects are there, the land was bought for recreational purposes and a lake certainly would add to the entertainment and en- joyment of the students. There would be some aspects of it that would appeal to almost everybody.

Autumn by B. J. Butler

There's the balmy spring breeze And the cold wintry blast, But the autumn and her painted trees In my memory shall last. The splendors of all the land Before my eyes unfold When autumn and her chilly hand Turn the leaves to gold. My heart is ever singing When autumn's crisp air • To earth comes a winging And nestles cooly there. The drowsiness of summer days I leave so far behind, My step is brisk along the ways And all the world is kind. How I wish-the world could be Always so bright and gay As all the beauty and color I see When autumn comes our way. . Soon winter and her icy winds Shall make the world seem bare, But even when lovely autumn ends Look in my heart, it is there!

• •

It can be; so why not have a lake? MMS

Write AJLetter Today - - National Letter-writing week is now being observed. Have we

as college students been inspired to set aside a few minutes for writ- ing that much appreciated letter?

For letters play a vital part in the lives of each and every one of us. Sealed within an envelope may be the feeling of happiness and security that comes when we know there is someone who cares. For some there may be laughter, for some heartbreak. To some a letter may be a means of relief which comes when we pour out our problems and inner thoughts to someone else. But no matter how long or how often received, a letter is appreciated here, at home and overseas.

So lets observe this letter-writing week all year.

Flaming Flicks— Clifton Webb in the riotous "Mr.

Scoutmaster" is a movie you must not miss!! This Twentieth Century-Fox picture will be at the State Theatre from the 11th to the 14th of this month.

"Mr. Scoutmaster", as the name betrays, is a comedy on Boy Scout- ing adopted for the screen from Be Prepared, a book written by a Scout- master. •

Webb's uproarious portrayal of a breakfast food salesman for a TV program, Robert Jordan, is one of the best. In an attempt to understand children in order to further his sales, he is tricked into becoming the leader of a den of daredevil Boy Scouts.

His chief worry is seven-year-old George Winslow, the little boy with the man's voice. George's performance as Mike, a Cub Scout who is smart enough to outwit Jordan and his Boy Scouts and tag along in their activi- ties established him as a child star.

Mike's vivid imagination and his attachment to Mr. Jordan get the Scoutmaster into all kinds of trouble. Mrs. Jordan, played by Frances Dee, befriends the little boy and Jordan is forced to try to understand him and show him some consideration. Against his better judgment, Jordan learns to like the little "brat" and their escapades as overnight campers are side-splitting.

The minister, the Rev. Dr. Stone, who encourages the Scout troop and morally supports them is played by Edmund Gwenn, who is up to his usual top-notch form. Together Dr. Stone and Mr. Jordan try to change Mike from a juvenile delinquent into a good Boy Scout and the process is confusing as well as hilarious.

As a movie based on Boy Scout- ing, "Mr. Scoutmaster" is really good. As usual Clifton Webb does a mar- vellous job and packs the film with laughs. This movie is guaranteed to put you in a good mood and help you to forget that test tomorrow. Don't forget. It's "Mr. Scoutmaster" at the State from Sunday through Wednes- day, so reserve a night for fun and relaxation.

Those two zany ambassadors of up- roarious merriment, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, are at it again. This time it's Paramount's brand new laugh-a-minute package of celluloid entitled "The Caddy," and it is due to open tomorrow at the Virginia Thea- tre. In "The Caddy," Dean and Jerry take to the golf course for their un- bridled, irrepressible type of humor. They are seen as two young men who, would rather play golf than work. Jerry is the superior golfer but he! gets stage fright every time he has to play before a gallery, so he teaches Dean the finer points of the game. In-no time at all the latter becomes a top performer, with Jejry relegated to the dutres of his caddy.

When Dean, who by now is the darling of the country club set, gets a

Hampden-Sydney Tiger. Seems they

have a rule that states: "No, student

is allowed to have a private aero-

plane available for his use, while he is

at school." I imagine that just every-

one had one so there wasn't room to

house them!

If anyone failed to purchase a ticket

to the Film Society, they may do so

at the first performance which is Oc-

tober 26.

I received a letter from Arlene

Mannos, last year's Editor-in-Chief of

The Breeze. She's teaching in Fair-

fax County, which is in the northwest

part of the state, and she is enjoying

it immensely.

Next week, Eleanor Dillon and I

are going to Chicago for the annual

Associated Collegiate Press Conven-

tion. Therefore, Betty Smith will edit

The Breeze. Here's success to her!

I know I'm leaving the paper in very

capable hands!

Have you heard the words that have

been written to "Ebb Tide"? They are the most to say the least!

A detered thought—How is the old Kentucky Colonel?

The Science Building is practically finished now. The labs were being equipped this week so in no time we'll be able to use them. That building sure is a masterpiece!

'Nuff for now. See you in Chicago!

Turntable Tips by Robert A. Patrick

Frank Sinatra: "I've Got the World On a String" (8) and "My One and Only Love" (6); Capitol: "String" makes one remember Frankie in his prime, when the Voice was more flex- ible and the phrasing more ingenious than it has been of late. A comeback, spurred possibly by Frank's success in "From Here to Eternity," seems likely. The reverse, not strong ma- terial in itself, is made highly listen- able by Sinatra's warm, confident vo- cal touch.

Peggy Lee: "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" (7) a nd'Tve Got You Under My Skin" (8) Decca: "Daddy" and "Skin" are two revivals that receive kind treatment by Miss Lee. While both sides are good, the Cole Porter evergreen is given the edge in points due to some interesting phrasing on Peg's part.

Blue Barron: "Under the Sweetheart Moon" (2) and "You Said 'Hello' to Somebody Else" (2); MGM: Blue Barron (with a vocal group called the Blue Notes) bounces along without much talent or inspiration through two rather insipid tunes. I am quite con- fident that 89c can be put to better use.

swelled head he and Jerry have a falling out. However this quarrel is happily smoothed over before the final fade-out. Naturally, all of this is punctuated with some of the typical Jerry and Dean monkeyshines plus a liberal sprinkling of melody and ro- mance.

Supplying the love interest are Donna Reed and Barbara Bates, who head the large supporting cast which among others includes Joseph Calleia and Fred Clark. In addition to these players, "The Caddy" utilizes the services of such professional golfers, all of whom play themselves,* as Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Jimmy Thomson, Julius Boros and Byron Nelson. Tom Harmon, the famous sports figure, por- trays a tournament announcer.

Harrisonburg, Virginia. That was my new address, my home for the next four years. Bewildered, anxious, and a little scared; all sorts of mixed emotions; that's what I felt when my parents left, after the reception in Alumnae Hall. They went back to my home in Arlington, Virginia, and left me all to myself. How long would it take me to adjust to my new life? Would I be able to do the work that was expected of me? Would I ever find friends like the ones back home? ;Who was going to take care of me? WHO WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ME?? Why, I was going

■to take care of myself. My mother said that I'd grown up and would have to learn to assume lots and lots of responsibility, and do what's right without being told, and remem- ber to brush my teeth. All that and plenty more went through my poor head that first day.

It seemed like there Were ton's and tons of things that I should have done, but I didn't know what any of them were. All of a sudden I realized J had a roommate, in fact, two of them. Well, now there was another situation that I had to cope with. Would we get along? I iiked green bedspreads and yellow drapes. Maybe they would have other ideas. How would we decide? These two girls were from my home town and we'd gone to the same high school. Just seeing someone around in school was one thing, but living in the same room with them for at least a year was another.

Housemother I had so much unpacking to do.

Where were my slacks? Somebody said house mother. I'd met her when I first entered my dorm. What kind of person would she .turn out to be? Would I be able to take my problems to her? Was she here to take the place of my mom? How could she be my mom and sixty other girls' too?

A bellj What was that for? Din- ner . . . and I was starved. The room was a wreck. Did I have to clean up everything before I could eat? Everyone else was leaving, so I left too. My two roommates and I entered the dining hall together after rushing through a long tunnel. Golly, it was a huge place, and I didn't know all those other girls! I felt so con- spicuous. Did I look all right? The food was good and everyone was chat- tering. I can't remember what was said, or even the topic of conversat- tion. I don't think anybody can. We were all so excited. The atmosphere was friendly enough, but like I said, everything was all so new.

Relaxed Singing We spent all evening unpacking and

getting used to the idea of having three people in a room made for two. All of a sudden we were laughing and talking, just like back home. Some kids from across the hall came over and Judy got her "uke". I hoped we could always be like that. It was great fun. Singing relaxed everyone and we soon felt much bet- ter.

Soon our house mother came in and said it was time for us to go to our own rooms and get ready for bed. Everybody left and we were alone again. After the general procedure of washing and teeth brushing, I crawled into bed. I reached for my Bible and after reading a few minutes, I noticed that everything was quiet. Judy and Kathie were reading their Bibles, too. I felt wonderful! I was in a room with two girls who had at least one thing in common with me. They looked up and smiled. Confus- ing as the day had been, I felt at peace with the world in that moment. Kathie hopped out of bed to turn out the light and we bowed our heads to thank God for the new mode of life that had been opened to us and asked Him to give us the strength to live it in a Christian way.

What different nationalities think about a woman in their proverbs.

English: A fair woman and a slash- ed gown find always some mail in the way.

Irish: If you want to advertise a thing tell it as a secret to a woman.

Bulgarian: A woman without a hus- band is a horse without a bit.

Estonian: A beautiful woman is a paradise for the eye, a hell for the soul, and a purgaratory for the purse.

Library Releases Many New Books

A list of 175 books which were

added to the library during the

months of June, July and August has

just been released.

Here are some of these books:

"Nancy Hanks Lincoln" by Harold

E. Briggs is a frontier portrait about

the mother of Abraham Lincoln.

There is not much information about

her, not even a picture. However, the

author didn't write anything imagin-

ary but tried to present incidents of

her life which are true historical facts.

"The Lives of James Madison and

James Monroe", by John Quincy

Adams should be of particular interest

to students.

"Hoofed Mammals of the World" by Ugo Mochi and T. Donald Carter is a book with illustrations. The il- lustrator uses blank paper to cut out the figures whifch look like silhouettes. The illustrations are biologically cor- rect.

"The Tidelands Oil Controversy" by Ernest R. Bartley tells about the disputes pertaining to ownership and control of the offshore lands. The is- sue was whether the Federal Govern- ment or the individual states has con- trol over these oil fields until the Supreme Court settled the controversy.

Jack Anderson attempted to write an objective biography of Senator McCarthy which is entitled, "McCar- thy the Maro, the Senator, the 'ism'."

Emy Vanderbilt's "Complete Book of Etiquette" becomes very handy when you don't know which dress to wear to that particular tea party.

In the library new books are on the second floor in the browsing room. The students are welcome to take them out to read^

French: A woman's lips have cured many ills.

German: He who does not love wine, woman, and song remains a fool his life long.

Polish: A woman goes mad twice: when she loves and when she begins to go gray.

Spanish: Woman undervalue what is given to them and die for what is denied them.

Swedish: A woman is like your shadow: follow her she flies; fly from her she follows.

Arabic: It is better for a woman to marry the man who loves her than to mate with man she loves.

Japanese: A man thinks he knows, but a woman knows better.

Sport Specs . by 'Jan' Bolen

The extramural hockey teams will journey to Westhampton college for two games tomorrow. WeVe looking forward to a couple of good

""peaking of hockey, I heard something last week that tops all. Miss Hartman asked our freshman goalies to be prepared to recite the penalty bully rule for the next hockey class meeting. In addition they pre- pared a preamble to the rule as follows: "We, the goalkeepers of Mad- ison College, in order to form a more perfect hockey team, secure in- terest, insure athletic participation, provide for the common fouls, pro- mote the general ignorance and secure the attention of the bench-warm- ers, do ordain and establish this rule for Field Hockey." Quite a pre- amble, wouldn't you say!

All those girls enrolled in the swimming coach class with Johnnie Lou Thompson and Bruce Staples will meet for the first time next Thursday, 3:30 p.m., at the pool. Anyone who failed to get her name on the list and wishes to be enrolled may see either Bruce or Johnnie Lou in Sprinkle House, Room 7.

If you hear anyone yelling "shoot, Shoot, SHOOT!" in their sleep one of these nights, don't get alarmed. It's merely a hockey player re- living the practice sessions and thinking of Miss Hartman's last words. Lets hope that someone doesn't get confused and use a gun instead of a hockey stick.

About thirty girls tried out for the Modern Dance Club Thursday night. Tryouts consisted of demonstrating different techniques used in modern dance. Good luck on your tryout results, girls!

Longwood Defeats Madison Varsity; Ties With J.V.

by Jan Bolen

Saturday, the Madison extramural hockey teams met Longwood in the second contest of the season.

In the first game, a victory for Longwood, Madison's opponents took the ball to their end of the field where it stayed for the first five minutes of play though the Madison defense was able to keep it out of the cage. Gil Hinman captured the ball and took it over the fifty yard line for the first bit of play on Madison's side of the field. The Longwood girls, displaying good passwork, took over the striking circle and after several nice clears by Mary Ashton, freshman goalie, were able to score their first goal.

Soon after the bully, Mary Lou Car- roll got the ball on her stick, taking it towards Madison's1 goal but the Longwood backs again sent it to their wing, Koch, who had taken the ball up the alley time after time.

In spite of Gil Hinman's outstanding work in the backfield Longwood scored twice more in the first half making the score 3-0.

In the second half Madison put forth more effort and succeeded in scoring off the sticks of Wine and

After the panel had finished their discussion the audience was asked to participate by presenting questions to the panel. Several good questions were asked and answered by members of the panel.
