Hawkins, Modern Dancer, To Appear As Part Of May Day Entertainment

Erick Hawkins, a modern dancer

and innovator of the "theatre of Surprise," will be presented in Wilson Auditorium as entertainment for May Day following the crowning of the queen.

The* most "modern" dance, says Hawkins, is deeply concerned in making sure that the body itself becomes the theatre and that its movements have immediate mean- ing for the contemporary audience.

Hawkins began investigating new uses of time and the body in his early work, "Show Piece," a ballet which was produced by the

Ballet Caravan at the Dance Inter- national Festival in New York.

Refusing to use "canned" music, or music written for any other purpose than the specific dance at hand, Hawkins has commissioned composers such as Wallingford Riegger, Robert Evett, Henry Co- well, Hunter Johnson, Charles Mills, Robert McBride, and Lucia Dlugoszewski for interpretive music.

Erick Hawkins was born in Colorado. He was graduated from Harvard where he majored in Greek and included Oriental Thought in his course of studies.

Give Praise Where Deserved, But Don't Stop Criticizing

Today Madison College is observing its first Parents' Day, and we want to welcome the visiting parents and also to thank the people, administration, faculty, and students, who have worked to make this occasion a success. Most colleges and universities do have parents', days, and we feel that an annual Parents' Day will be a worthwhile additioq to the college activities.

We students should realize not only the significance of Parents' Day but also of other additions and changes that have been made here recently, for these improvements have been a step forward for our college. To mention only a few, we should be aware of the building that has been done here in the past two years such as Hoffman Hall, the new -dining hall, the additions to Burruss Hall, and the tennis courts. All of these constructions have immensely enhanced the appearance of Madison College.

We should also be thankful for the new freshman and sophomore dating rules that are much more liberal than the old ones and which look toward more liberalization of rules in 'the future. And one of the most needed and most intelligent moves was the changes made in class days.

The college has done a marvelous job this year in bring- ing the students some fine speakers such as those Who came under the auspices of the Visiting Scholars Program and the three artists who were here during the Fine Art's Festival. Frequent and varied art exhibits have been a welcome part of our college life. These people and these exhibits-were brought to Madison primarily for us students, and we hope that all students have taken advantage of such opportunities to "improve their minds."

But in praising our school, we need to remember that more changes and improvements are a necessity if Madisonis to take . its places in the modern world of education. Please, while we praise our college and give credit where credit is due, let's never stop criticizing those policies and institutions which need criticism. A few well-diredted words at the right times and a lot of student action can do so much to keep people on their toes and to make them realize that we students want a say in the planning of our college and its activities.

Dear Editor— Once again, a dissatisfied stu-

dent is complaining about an infirmary tmc^T ~ZL~^-&!l&t£$ *want- • to make it clear that of the many times I have been there asking for help, I have been treated okay.

Sunday night I rode back in a cab with a friend of mine who suf- fers from a stomach disorder. She has been ill with this disorder several times before and our infirmary has had a medical record of the disorder since her freshman year. She is now a junior.

Saturday night, while visiting a friend in Fairfax, Virginia, she had an attack. Sunday afternoon when we picked her up to take her back to school she could barely walk. For two and a half hours she tossed and turned, unable to get relief or find comfort in the cab. By the time we got her to the infirmary she was so weak she could not walk, and was carried into the infirmary. There we were greeted very coldly by one of the nurses.

Not only was she harsh with us but even more so to the girl. She handled her roughly and talked to her in-™ J^-^4t>n*izl--~'~-^*~A.**( competent nurse would not treat a well person that way, much less an extremely ill person.

We asked the nurse to consult the girl's record concerning her illness, which she did not do while we were there, but wasted time asking us questions.

I am fed up with all of the com- plaints about the nurses. I also feel that not all of the nurses are so incompetent, and therefore should not be accused.

I am submitting an incident concerning one nurse and asking those in authority to please see to it that this sort of crude treatment is stop- ped immediately. I realize (more than ever) that good nurses are hard to find, and I also realize that some nurses may be very well trained, medically, but as human beings, they are lacking.

Cook's Tour Praises All by Marshall Cook

Spring is finally here with its birds and bees, songs and trees, May Days and university gentle- men. As we look around, we see nothing but happiness. What could be more wonderful than to be at Madison in the spring?

What's that you say? I am mistaken? I have not seen life as it really is: I am mad! I, mad? It is you who are the loon. It is you who have

Marshall Cook not seen the true Madison. Come, and I will show you.

Let us first lo6k at one of the lovely Bluestone * buildings which graces our campus. Peer inside. Beautiful, yes. What's that? The temperature is too high as is the humidity. Why isn't there air conditioning for late spring and summer classes? Why, how silly. Air conditioning would cost more than the discomfort of the students. Look at our new dining hall. If you can study in heat, you can. certainly eat in it!

On to another showplace. Here is lovely Hoffman Hall. Space for 'all, sec rppms a plentv.. lounges for many, and wall as thick and as soundproof as steel. And the best thing found here is the expression of sisterly love.

ILook at what? All those people on the grass in shorts picking up the trash and litter. Sir, that is the mark of greatness; to get a group to do the work that its money is paying others to do.

Now that the tour is over, I hope you no longer disagree, pro- test, or complain. With this task accomplished, I now hope that you can see the true happiness at Madison in the spring.-

Paper Makes 'Grimm' Error In Reporting Recent Article

The Public Information Office erred in reporting Dr. James Grimm's presentation of a paper before the meeting of the Associa- tion of Southeastern Biologists in Atlanta, April 16th.

Dr. Grimm, Associate Professor of Biology, and Dr. William Men- gebier, Head of the Department of Biology, presented papers at the meeting.

cal Observations", described a one- year study of sample microclimate plots and litter-borne arthropods from these plots. The investiga- tion showed significant variances between collecting dates and between sampling plots for each group of arthropods, which aids the investigator greatly in explain- ing distributional patterns in arth- ropdos.

Dr. Mengebier reported on a study of the energy relationships within cells of very primitive animals. The study shows the same situation exists as in man, with the exception that primitive cells are capable of undergoing chemical energy relationships under con- ditions of acidity which would be fatal to cells of higher animals.

'Dr. Mengebier's paper is entitled "Succinoxidase Activity in Homo- genates of Dugesia dorotocephala."

Students Want Other Ooinions On Dance Week-end Changes

It has teen brought to the attention of THE BREEZE staff that some students wish to make changes in Madison's dance week ends, especially the May Day and the Christmas

dance week ends. Basically a dance under the proposed plan would include

one or perhaps two concerts featuring well-known entertainers and a dance to which Madison students will be proud to invite dates. These "big" weekends would be partially financed by class dues paid by the members of all four classes. In other words, part of the class dues would be used toward two or three outstanding concerts per year (that would be held at times when all students with of without dates could attend) and two dances that Madison students might eagerly look forward to each year.

Before the intricacies of this plan are further explained, before more work is done on it, and before the plan is submitted to the students for voting and approval, those students who have proposed it would like to know how the student body feels about the matter. We request that students answer "yes" or "no" to the questions on the adjoining form and put the form in the box found in the p.o. lobby. Please bear in mind that this plan will not do away with privileges of class days (the banquet and cutting campus) but will provide for a few better concerts rather than many mediocre ones.

Criterion Issues Spring Chrysalis

by Julia Mason

The Criterion Club is again proud to present its annual publi- cation to the student body, visiting parents and returning alumnae.

The CHRYSALIS represents the creative efforts of numerous students both in and out of the Club. It is expressive of new trends in thought and modes, of expression. This year's issue contains many prose works of a creative nature as well as poems in the same vein. It also contains several reviews of works by contemporary authors, among them a review of William Golding's novel, LORD OF THE FLIES and a comparative critique of T. S. Eliot's "The Cocktail Party" and NAU- SEA by the French writer Jean- Paul Sartre.

This is not to say that the works presented are wholly of a literary nature. There are also ex- cellent examples of student art work both as illustrations accom- panying written material and as works of art existent in their own right.

For the first time the distribu- tion is being handled through the library in the hopes that everyone will receive a copy. They will be available beginning Friday, May 1. The CHRYSALIS is a publi- cation presented for the enjoyment of all. We hope you will find it interesting.

The following films will be shown at the Saturday night campus movies for the remain- der of the semester: May 2— "State Fair"; May 9—"Spencer's Mountain"; May 16—"Hud"; May 23—"Sargeants Three"; May 30—"The Royal Ballet".

May Day Contrasts Religious Pageants by Rita Sharpe

iSunshine, flowers, beautiful girls, and a May Queen are associated with the May Day of today. Yet to our ancestors the dawn of May Day meant the beginning of a religious pageant.

The Celtics of early England held a festival called Beltane during which bonfires were lit and rites were held honoring the gods and goddesses of agriculture and fertility.

When the Romans ruled England they brought with them the custom of honoring Flora, their god- dess of blooming vegetation, in the early Spring.

Even after the Romans returned to the native land, the English continued the Roman custom. Dur- ing the medieval and Tudor periods of English history the first of May was set aside as a holiday.

On this day everyone, including rich and poor, kings and serfs, went "a-Maying" in the woods, and returned in triumph with a pole lashily decorated with flowers, boughs, and other tokens! of Spring.

The main flower in the May Day decorations is the hawthorn bloom, called "the May," which was used to trim the doors and windows of the peoples' homes.

The Maypole, made of birch, was usually set in the middle of the village or town and was the center of the gay and sometimes wild activities of the May Day festival. In the larger towns, such as Lon- don, the Maypole was usually made of cedar for it was to last for the whole year while those of the vil- lages were to last but for the day.

Tlie selection of a May Queen originated in the Middle Ages of

English history. The fairest maid in the villege was chosen as "Queen of the May" (remember that May referred to the hawthorn bloom) in much the same way we choose our Apple or Cherry Blossom Queens. The Queen was crowned with flowers and placed in a little arbor or bower where she remained all day while youthful revellers danced and sang around her.

To our ancestors the elaborate festivities were meant to insure good crops and happiness and were closely linked with the appeasement of the gods and spirts of the day. To us May Day has become a tjme of merry making with joy and happiness our only goals.

Although very little of the original rites of May Day are observed today, in some places in England people still decorate themselves with flowers.

t

Other members of the May Court are pictured from left to right: Cathy Gough and Ellen Sandefur, Junior attendents. Junior, Freshman and Sophomore princesses are Mary Johnson, Pat Griffin, and Leslie Galahan respectively and Anne Perdue is Freshman attendent. Sophomore attendents are Merle Kay and Jo Paige Rust.

Some works are for sale.

Fashions Feature >Si*ipesy Flowers

By Judy Elder What's new in fashions? The

bare, bare look, stripes and polka- dots, and flowered lingerie are all a part of the new look in spring clothes.

Shifts and semi-fitted dresses are being made of everything from denim to summer wool. Sleeves are as scarce as waistlines' in spring clothes. The classic A-line skirt is still being worn with oxford cloth or palely flowered blouses.

Bathing suits for this season are featuring the bloused effect with suits being made of nylon, denim and madras. The two piece matching parka or beach coat will also be popular on the beaches.

For sports attire, stretch pants in every length are being worn with parkas, blouses and matching knit tops. In keeping with the new bare look, short shorts are back in as are sleeveless blouses and the low Tom Jones neckline.

Patent leathers in all colors, scotch grain loafers and of course tennis shoes and sandals are being worn to complement the various spring outfits. Heels are stacked and both flats and dress shoes, following the bare trend, arc cut-out.

Hairdo's are unteased, unlaquer- ed and uncurly. Sleek, smooth lines are seen in both medium length and short hair. These two lengths seem to be the most practical for summer activities.

Political, Religious Survey Concludes Change Of Morals Begins At College

"Educational Reviewer, Inc." took a survey of the political and religious attitudes of American college students in 1960. The colleges participating we/e: Sarah Law- rence, Williams, Yale, Marquette, Boston University, Indiana, South CarolinauHoward, Reed D^vid^on, Brandeis, ano^fTtanroro. .-roe purpose of the poll was to identify the influences at work in colleges and their bearing on undergraduate values and to determine how students from different backgrounds are likely to react to these influences. Only sophomores, juniors, and seniors were polled, on the as- sumption that freshmen had had in- sufficient time to react to their new surroundings.

The poll revealed that:

Of all the sopnomores, juniors, and seniors polled by the "Educa- tional Reviewer," nearly seventy p«r cent report that significant change has taken place in their political beliefs since entering college. In all but two of the colleges tested, that change has been in a liberal direction. The excep- tions are state-supported Indiana University and predominantly Catholic Marquette. Two-thirds of those students whose political thinking has changed in college have changed in a direction oppo- site from their pre-college thinking. In only two of the twelve schools polled (Marquette and Brandeis) has a majority of those whose thinking reversed its course done so . in a conservative direction.

The poll shows "overwhelming support (64 per cent) for the American two-party system among

the students tested. Twenty-three per cent would favor an alteration in the system to provide for a "liberal" party and "conservative" party to replace the current con- ception of the Republicans and Democrats as parties which com- prise widely differing points of

-"(WIT. »«^ few, lmwvr#j Wv-~ support a third party. A third party of the radical left would win significant support only at Sarah Lawrence (22 per cent), Reed (17 per cent), and Brandeis (11 per cent). The largest support for a third party of the right comes from South Carolina (9 per cent).

One of the most striking aspects of the poll is the tendency of poor- er students to be more firmly anti- Communist than wealthier students. This tendency crystallizes in the near-identity of the five poorest schools in the survey (Howard, Indiana, South Carolina, Marquette, and Davidson, in that order) with the six schools most willing to go to war rather than surrender un- conditionally to the Communists (Marquette, South Carolina, In- diana, Davidson, Yale and How- ard). Yale is the only well-to-do school polled at which more than 70 per cent of the students would prefer war to surrender. While it is true that less affluent backgrounds tend to produce five anti- Communists, the obverse statement (that the richest schools are the least anti-Communist) does not hold. The least anti-Communist school in the poll, Reed, ranks as average in family income.

For the early summer of 1965, Mrs. W. Elliot Wilkins of the Madison English Department, is planning a European tour with Transmarine Tours, member of The Guild of Student Travel.

The tour will be to England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ger- many, Lichtenstein, Austria, Italy, Monaco, and France. From Paris

. there will be an optional nine-day extension to Spain.

Tour members may travel both ways by ship or by plane; they may go by ship one way and by plane the other. On the Aureliu, an -air-conditioned, one-class ship, there will be lectures, language classes, discussions and travel tips for those interested. In the eve- nings, there are movies, dancing, song fasts, and talent shows. There is also an outdoor swim- ming pool.

Transmarine tours has such "plus" features in Europe as these: a hit play in London; the Folies in Paris; outdoor opera at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome; folk dance festivals; an evening at

Tivoli, Copenhagen's fun park; luncheon at the "Student Prince Inn;" a Swiss dinner. These are included in the tour price.

In 1964, the costs of the tour ara by sea $1108; by air, $1272 without the extension to Spain. With the extension to Spain the costs are b> sea, $1439; and by air, $1513. Costs in 1965 will be comparable.

Anyone interested in going on this tour should see Mrs. Wilkins, Wilson 34 or 767 S. Mason Street.

Alumni Association Reveals Purpose, Aids To Graduates

Editor's Note. The following article is written to inform Madi- son students of the Alumni As- sociation to which they will eventually belong.

Madison College has an active Alumni Association (with an Ex- ecutive Secretary, Mrs. Raymond C. Dingledine, Sr., "Mamma Ding"), an office in Alumnae Hall, and approximately 8,000 names and addresses in the files maintained there.

The Madison College Alumni Association is governed by a board made up of six officers and six directors elected from the Associa- tion at large. This Board meets twice a year. The president of the Madison Alumni Association is Miss Jean Shelley of Baltimore, Maryland.

The Madison Alumni Associa- tion has thirteen local chapters in Virginia, one in Charleston, West Virginia, and one in Baltimore, Maryland. These chapters meet at various times during the year for the purpose of keeping Madi- sonites informed of the progress of their Alma Mater, of providing fellowship among alumni, of interesting outstanding high school students in Madison, of assisting

~wrBf €o?fc;v Hays in high schools, ' of encouraging favorable legisla-

tive action relative to the needs of Madison, and of attempting to serve the college whenever and wherever possible.

tion provides scholarship help for students while in college both by grants and by short and long term loans. Two News Bulletins, one in the fall and another in the spring, are mailed out each year to all Alumni whose names with correct addresses are in the files. These carry news of the college and class news in an attempt to keep alumni in touch with their Alma Mater and each other. Nu- merous class letters are also sent out.

An annual Homecoming is planned for the first weekend in May to coincide with the college May Day celebration. At this time the yearly business meeting of the Association is held, the college entertains the alumni at a luncheon in Bluestone Dining Hall, a "coffee" is given by the Harrisonbnrg chapter for faculty and alumni, and various class re-unions are held.

During the school sessions, the Alumni Association entertains at a reception honoring the Concert Choir after their Christmas Con- cert, assists with Senior Class Day, and entertains the Senior Class with their guests during Com- mencement Weekend.

During the VEA meeting in Richmond in the fall, the Rich- mond chapter of the Alumni Asso- ciation has a "coffee" for Madi- son alumni and friends at the John

ing the American Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation which meets in Wash- ington on the weekend of May 10, the Baltimore chapter will give a tea for Madison alumni and friends of the college.

At the Alumni Office on campus, various articles such as college jewelry, sweatshirts, pixies, ash- trays, mugs, etc., are sold for the convenience of the students.

"MAMA DING"

College Students Faced With Doubts to adhere to the religious traditions in which they were raised, regard- less of their own doubts as to their truth. In addition, a significant number of students (8 per cent) will raise their offspring in a faith other than the one on which they themselves were raised. Of all students polled, only 10 per cent will totally neglect religious training. Respect for religion as a

(Continued from Page 4) college polled by the "Educational Reviewer" except Marquette have experienced, at one time or another, a significant reaction against the religious tradition in which they were raised. Nearly half of these reactions against religion began after the student went to college: two of the three major American faiths — Protestantism and Juda- ism — have lost more than one- fifth of their student communicants as a result of outright apostasy. The Roman Catholic Church has lost very few of its adherents through apostasy, and on a number of predominantly Protestant campuses — ranging in character LLUUI; rani And. Ds^ivii^.-s.-it ••vV-* ard and Indiana — the Roman Church has apparently won a significant number of converts.

Despite the frequency of apostasy and heresy among the students polled, a vast majority plan to raise their children in the religious faith of their own youth. Substan- tial majorities at every school except Reed, ranging from 67 per cent at Brandeis to 96 per cent at Marquette, will teach their children

Murray Places In Silver Contest

Reed & Barton Silversmiths •have just announced that Mary Jane Murray, class of 1964, has been awarded the 4th Grand Prize, a $200 scholarship, in the silver firm's 1964 Silver Opinion Com- petition held here this spring.

Mary Jane is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Murray of Fort Worth, Texas. She is a physical education and health major. To win the scholarship Mary had to match silverware, crystal and china patterns.

Mary was quite happy to receive the scholarship and said, "It will help me very much financially next year."

Survey Discloses Belief In Prayer

(Continued from Page 5) "good thing", if not as divine reve- lation, is evident from other questions as well. Few students, for instance, are willing to reject or- ganized religion as "unwholesome and dangerous"; at no college other than Reed (14 per cent) and Bran- deis (16 per cent) do more than 4 per cent take such a position. Even among avowed atheists and agnos- tics, substantial numbers answer Yes to the question, "Do you re- gret that you feel compelled to reject religious views, and do you wish that it were possible for you somehow to recover religious faith, even though at the same time it appears impossible?" Few non-believers, on the other hand, have sufficient confidence in their out- look to proselytize in favor of atheism or agnosticism.

Moreover, the argument most frequently cited against 'mixed" marriages betwen people of different religious backgrounds is "prob- lems of children's religious education."

Although only 58 per cent of students who believe in God believe that God "will sometimes alter the natural course of events to answer a prayer" well over 80 per cent of these students pray! Only 13 per cent of all students "believers" never pray, although many more prav "only at specific crisis . . . fife**'The humetfcal disparity between students who intellectually affirm the efficacy of prayer and students who actually pray is striking at all schools in the poll. Even at Reed, where only 7 per cent of the "believers" regard prayer as efficacious, 63 per cent pray, including 42 per cent "several times a week" or more! This is one of many striking theological incon- sistencies found in the survey, all tending to indicate the existence of a large number of students who want to believe in a ethically and existentially meaningful God, and cannot
