T To Hold Gala Party Richards Plans To Amuse

Big Sisters—Little Sisters

The annual YWCA big sister-little

sister party being held tonight in the

auditorium at 7:30, will be a riotous,

rib-tickling roll-em-in-the-aisles type

of affair, it is rumored. However, Kay

Richards, who has planned and directed

the program, insists that the audience

will be the final judge on whether the

Y committee in charge has succeeded

in its aim to bring a wider, and higher

grade of culture to the campus. In ad-

dition to big and little sisters, big

brothers, little brothers, faculty mem-

bers and friends of the college are

cordially invited.

Many aspects of this new type of

program will remtain a secret until !•>

night when the curtain goes,up, but, a

sampling of the program shows that

Mr. Norman Gay will be here con-

ducting his world famous Boston Phil-

harm Symphony, with the celebrated

child virtuoso, Patrick Ingram, as

soloist; Miss Mary Edwards, promin-

ent dramatist and oral interpreter,

will recite; Mr. Beryl Snellings, or-

ganizer, will bring a talented group of

male singers to perform in a rather

"imaginative" set of songs; Mjss June Anderson wHl exhibit a talented drain- ed pet, and, in addition, direct a live- ly melodrama, entitled "Wild Nell, the Pet of the Plains," or "Her Final Sacrifice," the cast of which has not yet been revealed by Miss Richards and committee. The 'Y is sure that you will find this distinguished pro-

gram innovation, to be presented this

evening, well worth your while.

The Common Glory Portrays Our Early History, Jefferson's Spirit

By Mary Alice Joyner

Virginia once again has been glori-

fied by the presentation of "The Com-

mon Glory." The beautiful Matoka

amphitheater outside of Williamsburg

was the scene of this great historic

drama for seven weeks this past sum-

mer, and it will continue in the years to come:

The story deals with the span of our nation's history beginning in 1775 and ending in October 1781, with Thomas Jefferson, the central figure.

Jefferson was a member of the Con- tinental Congress at the time when the colonies decided to break from the mother country. He ,was one of a committee of three appointed to draw up a declaration of intentions which was adopted on July 4, 1776 as The Declaration of Independence.

The drama portrays forceably the struggles encountered by Jefferson— the struggle with the committee, the phrasing of The Declaration of In- dependence, his acceptance of the gov- ernorship of Virginia in 1779 when there was no one else, and the promise of the assembly to back him. Yet, a year later, many of his soldiers had deserted the army, the very men who had begged him to be governor failed in their support because he had sent aid to General Washington, and he had lost his beloved wife. Jefferson, Unlike Alexander Hamilton, believed in the masses, and he berame their spokesman. He had a spirit which can-

not be found so easily in man and with

this spirit he sought to achieve his

dream "life, liberty and the pursuit of

happiness."

The most inspiring scene in the

drama was the scene in the ruins of

the churchyard at Jamestown on a

winter night in 1780. Here we find Jefferson both physically and spirit- ually weak. While asleep on the steps of the old church, Death appears uprtn the scene to grasp hold of Jefferson and just before conquering him, such immortals as John Smith, John Rolfe, Nathaniel Bacon and Pocahontas ap- peared. This pantomine clearly brings out the point that hardships must be suffered, bloody must be shed, some must die in -order for freedom to live —the Common Glory of us all.

I learned from talking with several members of the cast that they were very proud of the opportunity to work on such a worthy project. I might ap- propriately mention here that Emily I.eitner, a Madison graduate of 1947 sang with the choir of William and Mary College which together with beautiful costuming, excellent lighting and sound facilities, and good narra- tion combined to make "The Oommon Glory" a living message of the price of- freedom from the infancy of our nation to the present time.

Perhaps many of you have seen "The Common Glory" and many of you will sec it in the future. It is well worth your time, effort and money.

Governor Tuck, Advisory Board Visit Madison|

Governor William M: Tuck, with his Advisory Board on the Budget, visited Madison on September 25 in order to go over the requests by this institution for appropriations for the next two years. The group will then make recommendations to the Genera! Assembly.

Madison were: Lieutenant-Governor L. Preston Collins, Honorable John S. Battle, Honorable E. Blackburn Moore, Honorable Howard H. Adams, Honorable Robert O. Norris, Jr., Honorable J. D. Hagood, Honorable C. C Louderback, Mr. Fred Q. Saun- ders, and Mr. Harris Hart. Mr. Car- ter Lowance, of the Press, the Gover- nor's chauffeur, and two members of the State Police were also in the Gov- ernor's party.

The group" inspected Jackson, Ashby and Spotswood halls in order to see the improvements made during the summer. A request was made to the Board for $103,000 to be used in re- modeling Ashby and Spotswood a> Jackson has been completed. Request Increase in Appropriations.

An increase in appropriations for support was also made to the board. $60,109 was requested for the first year of the bienniunin 1948-49, and $69,543 for 1949-50.

Other appropriations requested in- cluded $250,000 for a new dormitory; an additional $25,000 for a new in firmary to be added to the $75,000 which has already been granted; $20,000 for construction of new drive- ways; and approximately $50,000 for additional equipment.

The Budget Committee also con- sidered the problem of the soaring costs of food supplies and it appeared in the hearing that food supplies would cost $50,000 more than last year. The State Board of Education will deter- mine in what way this deficit is to be met.

THE BREEZE

'// friendliness Makes "One World "* When little groups here and there are interested in each other and the welfare of their congregation as a whole they just naturally are friendly, pleasant groups. Each member is aware of a jense of se- curity—and security is one of the things man strives hardest for. Now the more than 1500 individuals who are associated with Madison Col- lege in one way or another as teachers, students, o'r workers may not seem like such a small group to you. But they do comprise an insti- tution that is small compared to a country, a state, a nation, a "one world." And small harmonious clusters which are banded together into larger and larger states and nations form the base for "one world."

Friendliness, congeniality, has always been a cherished tradition here at Madison. A smile and a cheery "Hello" or "Hey" when we meet another Madisonite is just accepted as the thing to do. Some- times we don't know the person(s) we are addressing but that greet- ing signifies that we'd like to. However, there just isn't enough time for each one to get to know every other individual on campus as well

as he/she wishes to. You might be surprised to know that among some campuses and

companies such a fraternal attitude doesn't exist—and these are not closely knit assemblages where each member feels wanted, needed, and a part of the bunch. Indifference and an 'every man for himself attitude is just impossible now—civilization itself is based and dependent on cooperation. 'To continue; when small, large, and larger crowds live with an air and feeling of congeniality and interest in the entire or- ganization then we can hope for nations to be closely united by com- mon, principles and philosophies. And after that comes "one world"— an ideal which seems very far away at times, but is one which we all

hope for desperately. - - That ideal is rooted deeply in the "Hello's" here at" Madison and we are exceedingly proud of it. B. A. C.

For Entertainment And Information A new school year and we at once begin to wonder what lyceum

programs have been scheduled for us. Or at least, we should. These carefully planned programs feature some of the country's greatest lecturers, musicians, artists, and writers. They come to our campus and auditorium to bring us the finest of entertainment and the most serious analyses of world situations.

We all should plan our work' so that we can attend the lyceums. Let's do that term paper a few days early so that we can go to see these people and hear what they have to say to us.

By attending lyceums we* can keep up with all that is pertinent in this changing world. We can hear the world's bestQiiusicyand cheer- iest humor. They contribute extensively to our cultural and intellectual development.

These programs are a part of our education, like the rest, not re- quired, but beneficial and brought with our needs at heart. We accept most privileges—why not these? Some day you'll be paying a big price

Tear what is now free; M. K.

Remember 11 / Remember that old saying that some of us heard in elementary

school—"let's lock our lips and throw the key away"? It might well apply to all Madison students who study in the library.

Men and women of college age should need no reminder of the fact that the library is for study and therefore should be a quiet place where concentration and thought can be encouraged. Many of us, however, seem to have forgotten that, though we may have finished our own work for the evening, others are still trying to complete their as- signments. They need a quiet room—not one filled with giggles and whispers.

For those of us who have oral work to do, a classroom in the library has been set aside for that purpose. There we may talk without disturbing others.

The responsibility for a quiet library rests on all of our shoulders. Let's save those jokes and bits of gossip until we leave the building and by doing this, we will also save the time and energy of those who must remain to work.

By Miaggie Kenny Beginning at the State Theater Sun

day, October 5 and continuing through the 7, is the English film, Great Ex pectations. This picture is the screen version of a Charles Dickens novel possessing all the famous Dickens charm. This is a story of a poor boy who becomes an English gentleman, by quite odd circumstances. A fine drama, it is excellently acted by John Mills and Valerie Hobson.

Deep Valley opens at the Virginia Theater October 8. Continuing through the 10, this drama has many factors to attract and fascinate the movje-goers, the main factor being Wayne Morris in his first screen appearance since before the war. Cast with Morris arc Ida Lupino and fierce Dane Clark. Set against the rugged Big Sur moun- tains in California, thrillingly acted, and possessing a fast moving story, Deep Valley should be a favorite with folks who likt action and love interest.

C. e's omments

Hail Big Sisters! When a freshman leaves for college or nurses training she usually

worries about how she will get to know her new "home," but almost always she can expect to find a "big-sister."

Most of the old students have always tried to help the new stu- dent. They have taken her to movies, invited her to their rooms andj perhaps have fed her! At Madison there is one more step—the tra- ditional "Big Sister-Little Sister" party. Usually it is held at the beginning of school, but this year it is later, and we have been here long enough to be able to remember the names of people better than in previous years. Remember, this party is for fun. New students should get to know the old, and the old the new. The entertainment, it is hoped, will be such that it will give the new student an eve» better idea of our life here.

However, upperclassmen, this is not the end of our acquaintance with the new student. It should be only another step in showing her what Madison really is, and in giving her the will to work and get ahead by sticking to the college that we know she will some day love as we do. —B. R.

"ToLengthenOrNotToLengthen - Proves Serious SubjectOn Campus

By Irene Munson

"To lengthen or not to lengthen," that is the question in women's circles today. . . It has been years, since such a fashion furore was stirred up, but today the question is used freely with the weather as topic for conversation (or fighting). Some up-to-the-minute maidens are ready to duel to the death with shears and yardsticks, while others groan in dismay as they persue the fasliion journals and try to ima- gine themselves clad a la fashion '47. . . Now long length skirts, padded hips, multiple knife pleats, leg o'mutton sleeves, flared circular coats, and dark- hued hose seem to be the center of the controversy, especially the new longer skirts.

The turmoil rages at Madison, too, though most of the girls say they adore the new styles, and only a few genuinely dislike them. However, rumor has it that women dress for men, which would seem to indicate that the men themselves must heartily endorse the new lines, sweeps, and curves. But, witness the following un- solicited and highly vituperous com- ments from the men! A sampling o^ male "opinion on our campus turned up the following: "These new fashions, are outrageous! Downright horrible looking! If you ask me, the women are just gullible and being victiimized by the fashionists, designers, and clothing manufacturers, who want to make money. . ."

"Women are so easily influenced! If you showed them a barrel (some of the new fashions look just as well) in a fashion magazine, they'd rush right out and buy one!" . . . Said an- other: "Padded hips? Why not padded bathing suits?" ....

A strikingly-dressed girl on campus

answered them, saying, "I think it's

about time we had a fashion change

and why should so much fuss be made.

There ■ is a happy medium, however.

We don't want to trip over our dresses

or break our necks getting on and off

buses. . . As to my one and only, he

says why cover legs, but I'm wearing

the skirts; he's not!"

"Disgusting!" remarks one vet,

while another says, "Gruesome," and another boy remarks cynically, "Just anothe* way for woman to spend man's hard-earned money!"

At this point, it seems to be a matter of opinion—male versus female —but, before you make up your mind, listen to these wise words from a fashion expert:

i

"Extreme styles can not be worn to best advantage by every type of figure. Too many women overlook this in choosing their wardrobes. Those who benefit by the longer length are the slightly stout, those who are too slender and girls without the un- derpinnings of a Betty Grable (most of us. Through experimentation one should be able to discover the length and style of skirt which both suits her individuality and follows the mode of fashion. Indiscriminate jump- ing into long skirts, rounded lines, and extreme styles frequently results in a ludicrous picture. . . It must be; remembered that girls in college will have to abandon baggy sweaters, ankle soxs, and casual shoes, if*they wish to wear long skirts with the trim blouses which become, them. Remember, grooming as well as fashion must be emphasized."

By Barbara Cabe

It seems as though the Russians are

deliberately trying their best to make

us "fighting mad." Take the recent

article by the Soviet newspaperman

named Gorbatov, in which he com-

pared President Truman to Hitler. It ■

was so obviously fabricated from noth-

ing but thin air. The stupidity and

imagination of the poor beknighted

Russian who authored it made it a

laughing matter to Americans.

But then we stopped laughing and

started to think that the poor little

ignorant Russians existing behind their

rusty Iron Curtain accept every letter

of it as law and gospel. And they cer-

tainly have already started polishing

their U. S. Lend-lease rifles (they

were probably told that the U.S.A.

stamped on the stock meant Use-for

Shooting Americans); and have revved

up their U. S. Lend-lease tractors (the

ones they were told were named in

honor of two great Russian actors,

Allis.-Chalmers and John Deere) in

preparation for planting all their wheat

that came out of sacks marked U. S.

A.-r-meaning Under Soil Arrange be-

cause they always put their verbs last

in a sentence.

All the hard-working Russian peas-

ants no doubt think of the U. S. A.

as Ogreland by now. At least that's

what their beloved (so he says) Stalin

tells them America is like. And all the

free newspapers there do print the

most vivid tales about how the war-

mongering U. S. is just waiting for an

opportune moment to pounce on poor,

peaceful Russia and attempt to con-

quer it so we can force that horrible

system of Capitalism on them. Now

after Satlin has gotten the people into

such a frame of mind he hopes that he

will have made us so angry at him

that he can pawn •off his declaration of

war on us as "self-defense." But what

he can't see is that most Americans

see through the whole scheme—the' subtle (so he thinks) moves to control all Western Europe and the Security Council, and their recent backing of the Ukraine for election to the Secur- ity Council. i

if you Ask THEM •. •

What do you think of the new styles in women's clothing?

June Anderson—I like them.

Margie Brash—I like \the longer dresses and dark hose. Very flattering to a gal. The padded hips are o. k. for some people, but not for me.

Iris Arrants—I think the new fash- ion trends are excellent. The longer lengths are fine for dress clothes, but taboo for sports wear. Just don't carry any of the new styles to extremes.

Ruby Horsely—I like them. But it's a shame to have to throw away all one's old things.

Ray Horn—Gruesome! That's all I've got to say.

Peggy Reeder—I like the new lo»g length. Ho\v long? eleven inches from the floor.

Marianna Howard—I don't like them very much, though they look all right on some people. . . The change is too sudden and they use too much mater- ial.

Becky Rogers—I love the new long length. It is so much more sophis- ticated, dressy and well-groomed look- ing.

Beryl Snellings—It is an injustice to mankind.

Pat Ingram—Yes, especially for semi-formal wear.

Miss Dodd, New Music Instructor, 0

Prefers Classics, Bach, Mozart By Jean Gaither

"I am looking forward to a very successful year at Madison," stated Miss Doris L. Dodd, a newcomer to the music department. "Madison Jia's splendid facilities and plenty of prac- tice rooms. The auditorium is grand for musical purposes."

Miss Dodd began her study of music in Watertown, Massachusetts when she was about five years old. The climax of her study was her grad- uation from Yale University Music School after attending Boston Univer- sity and the Norfolk Music School. 'She was a pupil of Dr. Bruce Sim- onds, dean of Yale University Music School.

Miss Dodd states that she is strictly a classicist and prefers the composi- tions of Mozart and Bach. She is also interested in the extremely new type of music as represented by Hindemith. Before the year is ended she hopes to play some of his compositions.

In giving her opinion of Madison, Miss Dodd said that she had found it all she had heard it to be. "Everyone has been very friendly, gracious, and hospitable. I have never been in a girl's school before, but I hope to get to know most erf the girls before the year is finished."

The student body of Madison has already witnessed the talent of Miss Dodd, as she presented a listening program and an assembly program

■during the past week. A recital is being planned for November and perhaps an additional one will be presented later.

Students Successfully Pass Tryouts As Cub Reporters

fY' Cabinet Draws Up Year's Plans At Annual Retreat

Plans for the forthcoming year were

drawn up by the YWCA cabinet at its

annual camp retreat held Saturday and

Sunday, September 27-28. Perhaps the most important change discussed and passed by the group was the hour for Sunday Vespers.

Begnning with this Sunday, October 5, the vesper program will be held at 5 p.m., instead of the former 1:45 p.m. The first presentation will be a half hour of sacred organ music played by Mr. B. R Hicks, professor of Music at Madison College. It is hoped that this time will be convenient for more girls to attend. Dress will be informal, and those girls who are in the habit of attending evening church services can go straight from the auditorium. Fa- culty members and townspeople are also cordially invited.

The Y cabinet also planned its bud- get for the year, setting $2000 as a goal, with half of the sum to be given as donations to World Student Serv- ice Fund, Welfare, the Red Cross, etc.

Harper, Editor Of Power Speaks To Student Body

Mr. George Harper, Secretary of the National Methodist Youth Fellowship and the editor of "Power," daily devo- tional, spoke to students and faculty in Wilson auditorium last Tuesday night.

Mr. Harper spoke on the purpose of education, stating that "learning to live in the love of Christ with schoolmates and faculty is a very important part of becoming educated." In his opinion, education does not always come from within the covers of a book.

Understanding the needs of youth and his own youthfulness, makes Mr. Harper a favorite with young people all over the United States.

The ministers and townspeople of Harrisonburg opposed to Sunday movies ire advancing toward their goal, no movies on the Sabbath. But the journey :oward finding victory is difficult and trying. Theirs is a challenge which mould be wholeheartedly emphasized, supported, and publicized and con- quered by those who feel and say that they are the faithful Christians.

Sunday movies are harmful to this community and to any other com- nunity where democracy resides. Think for a moment of the situation on a rommercial basis. If the movies are permitted to come into Harrisonburg, would there be grounds for denying any other business establishments the privilege of operating on Sunday? And among these will be found poolrooms, cowling alleys^etc. The whole trend would naturally point toward a .WIDE OPEN Sunday, a day which would be the same as any other and this, I issure you, is not the word of the Law.

If one contends that this town does need some sort of wholesome recrea- :ion, which in the past it has not had, but with the admission of Sunday movies, it now has, please consider this point: Is it not an established FACT that Ihe "total impact of movies on Society has done more positive harm than good! Sunday movies would only mean one more day of a problem industry. Should the population be exposed to trash for all the days of the week? Is not'the situation bad enough as it is, influencing six out of the seven days ind nights of a person's trial of living here on earth in the presence of the Almighty? Leave us not to think too jut let us not neglect thoughts and well
