Drama Group To Rehearse For Production
by Suzau Woltz
Something new Is going to be tried with the set of the forth- coming play, Androcles and the Lion, a spoof on Christianity by George Bernard Shaw. The most unusual special technical effect will be the attempted projection of the Coliseum on the scenery.
For this projection, a special projector will have to be made, under the direction of Mr. Alex- ander, set designer. The projec- tor, called a lineboch-type pro- jector, will be a model of one designed by a German in the 1920 s. It is a lenseless projector that uses a painted slide and has a single light source.
The actual set was not de- scribed in detail by Shaw. He simply said that the entire ac- tion takes place In the catacombs and the Coliseum. "The chal- lenge," said Mr. Alexander. "Is how to create the subterranean passageways of the Coliseum and the areana itself."
"The majority of the action takes place in the catacombs, but at one point Androcles walks through the passageway and into the arena. "To do this, a set has to be designed that will split Into two halves, and each half will turn around and reveal Che In- terior of the arena. Mr. Alex- ander added. "This is an at- tempt to produce on stage a mo- V* technique. In other words, the audience will see Androcles enter the passage, and then walk through it and enter the Coli- seum"
Great Expansion Set For College; Plans For 72, '80
Longwood is embarking on a growth scheme that will place the student enrollment at 4,000 by 1980. By 1972, there are sev- eral new buildings on the agenda for the campus. Inctided are four new dormitories, a proposed Pine Arts Building, a proposed Laboratory School, a proposed Home Economics building, and a proposed Service Building.
Past 1972, projected scope plans for eight more future dor- mitories, three more academic buildings, and another dining hall.
Expansion for the campus will go out past Madison Street, be- hind the present day boundaries. A diagram of the proposed sites and buildings may be seen on the bulletin board across from the Dean of Women's office.

Honors Council Provides
Student Tutoring Plan
English Society Sponsors Panel On Shaw
Beorc Eh Thorn. English hon- orary society of Longwood Col- lege, will sponsor a symposium concerning Bernard Shaw on Tuesday, March 15. at 7:00 p.m. In the Student Lounge.
The panel will consist of Dr. Patton Lockwood, associate pro- fessor of Drama, Mr Herbert Blackwell, associate professor of English, and Mr. Robert Alexan- der, assistant professor of Drama, who will discuss the various aspects of the works of Bernard Shaw
The purpose of this symposium (Continued on page 3)
Beginning this semester, the Honors Council is endeavoring to Initiate a functional, on campus, tutoring system. Such a system will be made available to all Longwood students desiring ad- ditional help In college work. The program will be operated on a student tutoring basis The Coun- cil feels that by Instituting such
* in early in the semester, students will avoid "cramming" just before examinations In or- der to pass a course, It Is hop- ed that the program will encour- age conscientious study through- out the term.

The Honors Council wishes to give recognition this week to Judy Tate. the January gradu- ate with the highest academic average. Judy, an English and Biolgoy major, graduated from Longwood with a 3.64 cummula- tive average.
Judy attended John Marshall High School in Richmond before coming to Longwood. She did her student-teaching there and has now returned to John Marshall as a science and physics teach- er.
While she was at Longwood. Judy's academic actue\ was evidenced by her member- ships in Lynches and in Kappa Delta Pi. Judy was also an Hon- or graduate.
Academics was not the only field In which Judy was active. She was class president for the January graduates. Judy was also summer school student gov- ernment pnaJdanl for the 1963 session.
Judy's other activities includ- ed membership in Alpha Sigma Tau, where she was rush chair- man this year, and a place on the Academic Affairs ronunit tee. Judy was also a member ol tin- Longwood concert cholr

The Honors Council cannot over-emphasize the fact that col- lege students should recognize their need for extra hep before It Is too late, and they should be willing to take advantage of a program offered to help them. Passible, a few hours of tutoring early in the semester will pre- vent unnecessary pressure at final examination time.
Dr. Lippincott Delivers Lecture On Chemistry
Prom March 7 through March 9, Dr Ellis R. Lippincott, Pro- fessor of Chemistry at the Uni- versity of Maryland, will visit Longwood College and Hampden- Svdney College under the aus-
(il the Division of Chemi- cal Education of the American Chemical Society. The Visiting Scientist Program is made pos- sible through financial support by the National Science Founda- tion The American Chemical Society, through this program, has made it possible to the fac- ulty and students of some 1.200 col'eges and universities throughout the nation to benefit from the visits of outstanding scientists.
Dr. Lippincott will speak to a Joint seminar for students from both colleges at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 In Room 103 of Stevens
Hall at Longwood Col- lege. His topic for the seminar
(Continued on page 3)
"The finest male singer of our day. I know of no one who couldn't learn from this man's flawless artistry." This ls the evaluation of Gerard Souzay by no less an authority than critic and author Louis Biancolll in the New York World Telegram ti Sun, pronounced upon the oc- casion of the extraordinary French baritone's American op- eratic debut.
For that event he had been personally chosen by the great Leopold Stokowski to proiray the title role of Monteverdi's "Orfeo" with which the maestro opened the season of the New York City Opera Company in 1960. While the other New York critics were equally lavish in their praise, the tribute which the artist values most came in a letter from the conductor him- self: "Thank you for the out- standingly beautiful perform- ances, both vocally and dra- matically. I hope to have the ar- tistic pleasure of making music with you again, either In Ameri- ca or In Europe. You fulfilled completely my conception »f Or- feo, and established for all of us an ideal level of performance."
Last season the baritone re- turned to New York to sing a recital at Hunter College on the city's most distinguished recital series. "Of the many tributes to Claude Debussy during this cen- tenary of his birth, there will probably be none superior to that given by Gerard Souzay," wrote The New York Times of the event. "Each song became a world in itself in Mr. Souzay's performance ... Mr. Souzay has few peers today in translating them Into sound." And the New York Herald Tribune reported: "Souzay not only sings beauti-
fully but he unfolds a song like a prism that Is slowly turned, shedding a galaxy of color, both bold and subtle, onto the be- holder."
Such reviews have become commonplace In the globe-gird- ling career of Gerard Souzay. As recitallst. opera star, orchestral soloist, or on recordings, radio or television, the baritone ls In every sense of the word the true musical artist. He brings to his ait a beautiful natural voice, In- formed by an Inquisitive intel- lect and profound sensitivity, and controlled by an understand- ing appreciation of science, phi- losophy and all the other arts. It Is little wonder that Gerard Souzay ls one of the most sought-after musicians in the world today.
Ever since his enormously successful debut here in 1950, Gerard Souzay has returned to our shores for a part of each season to fill a heavily booked schedule of recitals and orches- tral engagements. He has ap- peared with practically every major orchestra here, under our most distinguished conductors. and has sung at many of our leading festivals, including Tan- glewood and the Casals Festival In Puerto Rico. His recital en- gagements always Include the most discriminating auspices such as New York's Hunter Col- lege and The Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, and has own re citals at Town Hall are eagerly awaited by conotsseurs of the vo- cal art.
But America can claim only a small part of the time of this busy International artist. His concert tours of Europe are usu- ally sold out several seasons in advance Other tours have car- ried him to South America ithree times), Australia and
New Zealand, and both North and South Africa. During one re cent season he circled the glove, singing on five of the earth's six continents.
Another indication of the bari- tone's exalted reputation ls the repeated demand for his serv ices at the great international music festivals. He Is frequently featured In recital and with or- chestra at Edinburgh and Salz- burg, and In opera and concert at Aix-en-Provence. During one single summer he appeared at no fewer than seven major Eu- ropean festivals: The Foorence May Festival, the Casals Festi- val at Prad-s. the Holla d Fes- tival, the Sibeiius Festival In Helsinki, the Grieg Festival in Bergen, and the international festivals of Paris and Venice. This is not counting a flying visit to Tangelwood to perform with the Boston Symphony Or- chestra at the Berkshire I'..-!i val.
As a recording artist Gerard Souzay also enjoys a unique po- sition — unique in the selectivi- ty of the works performed, in the outstanding quality of the performances, and in the high pria.se that greet their release. Capitol's album entitled "The "World of Song" best demon- strates the artist's Incredible versatiity. It comprises a .selec- tion of folk songs in 17 differ- ent languages or dialects, includ- ing an Impeccable Irish brogue! The New York Herald Tribune named it "best vocal record of
has since repeated it with equal impact at the Paris Opera. Re- cent releases that have gathered
I critical kudos among the re- viewers were songs by Schubert (Philips), songs by Debussy (Deutsche Grammophoni and Berlioz' "Danation of Faust" (Angeli. During the past lew months Philips has releaed three exciting new discs: Schu- bert's great song cycle "Winter- rci.-e." MOfll by Duparc. and songs by Hrihoven and Brahms. Just the number of different companies that have sought Sou- zay to record for them Is lm-
-ive. Gerard Souzay was born into
a musical family In Angers, France. His father, an army of- ficer, played ttta 'cello and his mother, as well as two brothers and a sister, sang and accom- panied one another at the piano. It was not always his plan to be a singer, however. At the Col-
of Chinon, he majored in philosophy and at the age of eighteen he went to Paris to work toward an advanced de- gree in this field. At the same time he began vooal coaching with the noted French musician Pierre Bernac, and two years later entered the Parts Conserv- atory. Philosophy was thus aban- doned as a career, but It re- mains today a favorite subject for leisure reading. His future as a major musical artist was forecast in his student days when he won both the Premier Prix du Chant and the Premier

Maturity Of Seniors In a thorough evaluation conducted by the South-
ern Association of Colleges and Universities last yea.r the Association commented that perhaps the atmos- phere at LongWOOd is too protective to enable its Students to develop an adequate sense of maturity.
In no other sspecl of the college does this seem more evident than in the rules and regulations it maintains for Seniors. The problem is that there is, no meaningful recognition made of the differences t
between the Seniors and the other classes. That is. in, terms of the rules that Seniors must obey, there is no graduated scale of rules that take into consideration the fad thai most college seniors have been in college for three yeara and that most of them are 21 or over. With the exception of 11:00 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. per- mission, the Seniors live under the same rules as the Freshmen. No allowance is made for the fact that the Seniors have been at Longwood for three years and that they left home three years before.
Instead of imposing the same set of rules and regulations on everyone, there should exist a graduated scale of rules such that the Seniors have the least restrictions than the other students. After all, in another three months most Seniors will be self-sup- porting and will live in their own apartments, etc.
The regulation structure as it exists now does not allaws for the Longwood student to gradually develop a sense of security adequate enough for her to cope with the world that waits beyond the protective walls of the Longwood campus. Instead she leaves a cotton- candy cradle to face the world . . with a store of per- mission cards, sign-out cards, call downs, and pink slips.

New Semester Brings
A Shortchanged Education

ITHACA. N.Y.-U.P.)—The re- cently released report by the Faculty Committee on the Quali- ty of Undergraduate Instruction at Cornell University states that students across the nation are being shortchanged in their edu caUon. "There can be no doubt that sutdent dissatisfaction with undergraduate instruction, at Cornell as elsewhere, has basis in fact, " the report stated bluntly.
The 13,000-word report called for a "marked change" in the attitude of teachers toward stu- dents and for Increased emphas- is on the Importance of teach- ing. Teaching, it said, must be placed on the same level as re- search, publishing and public service.
However, the report stressed, "we are convinced that the in- creasing contact with external affairs on the part of profes- sors does benefit undergrad- uate education. There is too lit- tle understanding of this point by students and people outside the University.'
The committee noted that the past year "was marked by mounUng criticisms of the edu- cation that the nation's univer- sities were giving their under- graduates" and termed its re- port "an extensive self-examina- tion." The committee held more than 25 meetings, talked with
Cuts, faculty members and administrative officers and stud- led numerous written reports.
Undergraduate education at Cornell, the report said, "though generally conscientious, often very good and occasionally bril- liant — commands neither the attention nor the status it de- serves, if the quality of our i''.iching Is not as high as It can and should be - and that is our finding tlien the fundamental solution is that each one of us devote a considerably greater ef- fort to making it better."
This requires 'an academic atmosphere In which students
feel that the university is truly Interested in their educational and cultural development — in their ideas, problems, and as- pirations, and in their desire and ability to help improve the educational process. This atmos- phere has not yet been achiev- ed," the report said, "at least i for the great majority of our' students."
"At Cornell today there are few mechanisms whereby stu- dents can get (he faculty and administration to give real con- sideration to their reactions and proposals without running the
risk of being viewed by many as violators of good taste, or worse. But the fact that stu- dent discontent or indifference may denve in part from cir- cumstances beyound the univer- sity's control does not mean that institutions of higher learning have no obligation to respond to the student's problems. On the contrary, in its teaching role the university is more than a dispen- ser of knowledge; as an educa- tional institution it is charged with evoking and guiding the de- velopment of the young person's potential in Judgment as well as intellect."
This doesn't mean, the report said, that the university has "either the capacity or the ob- ligation to play the role of psy- chotherapist, let alone of sub- stitute parent. It does, however, have the duty and the ability to provide him wlh teachers
which is not the same thing as exposing him to scholars) and to create a physical and social en- vironment conducive to aca- demic and cultural pursuits."
These needs cannot be met "If a substantial portion of the facu- lty define their responsibilities to undergraduates primarily in terms of formal instruction, leaving to others the task of hearing out the student, ior the task of i responding to his lntel-
, lectual groupings and support- ing or challenging his ideas," said the report.

Letters To Editor
PAUL GOODMAN It Is not clear what young people mean when they say they
are "alienated." Let me briefly review the concept historically. In the sense of estrangement from God. alientation Is a
powerful theme In early Protestant theology. "God is hiding His face." The Lutheran answer was, of course, Have faith. Do not rely on works, for they are as allentated as you.
Turning the theology into epistemology, the Hegelians re- ferred to the divorce between our subjective needs and intuitions and the objective world given in science and social institutions. Hegel relied on the working out of his- tory to bring these parts together But reviving the Protestant insight, Kierke- gaard insisted that we must be aut- hentically committed in our moment by moment choices and not treat ourselves as scientific or historical objects. This "existential'' answer has of course had great Influence In criticism of our pre- sent over-organized routines.
Marx pinned down the alienation to people's loss of control over their pro- ductive life, and therefore loss of their primary human nature. Productive ma- chinery and rules of work had passed into the hands of an owning class. Prod-
ucts of labor became commodities moving In a market, rather than uses in a community. His answer was, organize politically and expropriate the expropriators.
Nineteenth Centuury Definition In the late 19th century there was also a psychiatric mean-
ing of alienation as insanity <pyschiatrlsts were "alienists"). The hallucinations of the insane mind were incompatible with, or divorced from, sensory reality. Freud tended to extend this con- cept by showing that everybody was somewhat psychopathologl- cal, and his bias wns to relax the anti-instinctual bans that led to such a deep chasm between wish and reality.
All these extensions of Alienation are deeply Important and true at present. And in the conditions of today, we have found another important aspect of alienation which <I think) is meant by the young. Modern societies increasingly exclude vast groups of people; e.g. the aged, the farmers, the Negroes, the young. With automation, the exclusion threatens to become wider.) To
be "allentated" is to feel productively useless, without future, ex- cluded. Further the needs and feelings of the excluded are not oaid attention to In the goals and decisions of administrative so- ciety. To be "alienated" is to feel processed, exploited, admin- istered.
What follows? First, the young cannot identify with the so- cial goals and they say. "That's not my scene. I am nowhere." But then, as an immediate next step, they say. "They are no- vhere. We young are the only people. We have to go it alone; of necessary, we must resist their Interference in our lives."
This has been the persistent tendency of the present 'youth" phenomena: the adolescent sub-culture, the Beat move- ment, the para-colleges, the draft protest.
Different. Hopeful Aspect But let me now suggest a different and more hopeful aspect
of "alienation" which is also directly relevant to today passing Into the future.
In important respects, advanced societies are too comfort- able and we call them "affluent;" they are too achieved and we say they are "establishments." Such a condition is stifling; It cuts one off from meaning, which Is given only in the risky mo- tion of growth. For example, some psychotherapists Jocosely speak of the "California syndrome," referring to people who have grown up with every advantage and satisfaction and then break down at 40. complaining, "Life has passed me by." Cer- tainly the young of the middle-class feel a frustration that lead* them either to senseless delinquency or to efforts to make a bet- ter world on new premises.
Among dissenting college students, It seems that Just be- cause they have been economically secure, they transcend eco-
I nomlc motives. Sure of $5,000 a year, they do not need to com- jpete for $20,000. Similarly, since they come from respectable homes, they can go to Jail without disgrace. But this is not nec- essarily a sign of lack of commitment. On the contrary It may mean a forward step In rich societies: toward productive enter- prise, social service, lively community, as goods In themselves, no matter what the economic and personal costs.

Infirmary Staff Improves Looks Of Infirmary
By Mary Edgerton
The Infirmary ls now an at- tractive place to stay. Our murses have done much to en- hance the appearance of the In- firmary over the years. Each has adopted a project to better the infirmary and hope to make it a more pleasant place to stay.
In the last several years Iron- post beds have been replaced by standard hospital beds and bed- side tables have been obtained that were not previously avail- able. The overhead bed lights and the button-calling system have been installed recently, and the porch has been redecorated ai d furnished nicely.
Another interesting fact ls that four years ago a girl could not smoke at all while In Ute In- firmary. However, now we can smoke on the porch. This re- sulted from the efforts of our nurses.
Just reeent'y the nurses suc- ceeded In getting the Infirmary painted Instead of the old. dull walls they are now freshly paint- ed with the largest room painted In pink and the other rooms In blue and white which brighter, the Infirmary considerably. Mrs. Foulk made curtains trimmed to match the freshly painted walls. The nurses are now hoping to get the rest of the Infirmary floor tiled to Increase appear- ances and for hygienic reasons.
The latest addition for the In- Prmary that the nurses are hop- ing for ls a television A TV set would greatly add to the pleas- ure and comfort of girls that are well enough to be up for a short time but not well enough to at- tend classes.
If each member of the student body would contribute a small amount of money, the cost of a television could be easily raised. Our nurses have tried and are stil' trying to help us, so let's see what the student body can do to help our nurses and our- selves.
Further information about a money raising campaign will be announced at a later time.

Happy Juniors Recall Week-End Class Of 1967 Enjoys
Concert And Dance
LA* «r^ Otis Redding performs the concert Saturday afternoon.
The Junior class Is now set- tling down to serious studies again after a successful week- end of dining, dancing, and ring- ing. It appears from comments overheard from members of the Junior class as well as from other Longwood students, that the 1966 Ring Dance was a smashing sucess.
The week-end opened with a concert which lasted approxi mately two hours and starred Otis Redding, popular singer of rock 'n roll, and his touring band.
Following dinner in the Dining Hall at 5:30 Saturday, students returned to their dormitories to got dressed for the formal Ring Dance that was held in the Main Rec. The Rhondels. popular dance band which traveled from Norfolk to Farmville, play- ed roc): 'n roll for four hours.
The highlight of the Ring Dance was the ring figure, at which time the girls received
their class rings from their es- corts. After all the couples pass- ed through the figure and were presented, the members of the Junior class and their escorts led the first dance.
After the dance, which ended at 1:00 a.m., there was a break- fast (or the Juniors and their escorts only. ,
2:00 a.m. found many Juniors I coming wearily but happily back i into their respective dormito-1 ries. So closes another chapter! In the history of Longwood's big week-ends. Now everyone is looking forward to Spring Vaca- tion!

Working with these girls are Ann Tweedy and Vickie Jester who helped produce last semester's program entitled "Ricking Around."
The girls produce a variety of programs that cover the span of comedy to tragedy. However, the program has some serious drawbacks since It is taken for non-credit. The show has to be produced and recorded during one hour on Mondays, and some- thing has to be done so that each participant can work out his own part. As It stands now, "SRO" has the status of an extra- curriuclar activity.

Drama Group To Rehearse For Production
by Suzau Woltz
Something new Is going to be tried with the set of the forth- coming play, Androcles and the Lion, a spoof on Christianity by George Bernard Shaw. The most unusual special technical effect will be the attempted projection of the Coliseum on the scenery.
For this projection, a special projector will have to be made, under the direction of Mr. Alex- ander, set designer. The projec- tor, called a lineboch-type pro- jector, will be a model of one designed by a German in the 1920 s. It is a lenseless projector that uses a painted slide and has a single light source.
The actual set was not de- scribed in detail by Shaw. He simply said that the entire ac- tion takes place In the catacombs and the Coliseum. "The chal- lenge," said Mr. Alexander. "Is how to create the subterranean passageways of the Coliseum and the areana itself."
"The majority of the action takes place in the catacombs, but at one point Androcles walks through the passageway and into the arena. "To do this, a set has to be designed that will split Into two halves, and each half will turn around and reveal Che In- terior of the arena. Mr. Alex- ander added. "This is an at- tempt to produce on stage a mo- V* technique. In other words, the audience will see Androcles enter the passage, and then walk through it and enter the Coli- seum"
Great Expansion Set For College; Plans For 72, '80
Longwood is embarking on a growth scheme that will place the student enrollment at 4,000 by 1980. By 1972, there are sev- eral new buildings on the agenda for the campus. Inctided are four new dormitories, a proposed Pine Arts Building, a proposed Laboratory School, a proposed Home Economics building, and a proposed Service Building.
Past 1972, projected scope plans for eight more future dor- mitories, three more academic buildings, and another dining hall.
Expansion for the campus will go out past Madison Street, be- hind the present day boundaries. A diagram of the proposed sites and buildings may be seen on the bulletin board across from the Dean of Women's office.

Student Tutoring Plan
English Society Sponsors Panel On Shaw
Beorc Eh Thorn. English hon- orary society of Longwood Col- lege, will sponsor a symposium concerning Bernard Shaw on Tuesday, March 15. at 7:00 p.m. In the Student Lounge.
The panel will consist of Dr. Patton Lockwood, associate pro- fessor of Drama, Mr Herbert Blackwell, associate professor of English, and Mr. Robert Alexan- der, assistant professor of Drama, who will discuss the various aspects of the works of Bernard Shaw
The purpose of this symposium (Continued on page 3)
Beginning this semester, the Honors Council is endeavoring to Initiate a functional, on campus, tutoring system. Such a system will be made available to all Longwood students desiring ad- ditional help In college work. The program will be operated on a student tutoring basis The Coun- cil feels that by Instituting such

The Honors Council wishes to give recognition this week to Judy Tate. the January gradu- ate with the highest academic average. Judy, an English and Biolgoy major, graduated from Longwood with a 3.64 cummula- tive average.
Judy attended John Marshall High School in Richmond before coming to Longwood. She did her student-teaching there and has now returned to John Marshall as a science and physics teach- er.
While she was at Longwood. Judy's academic actue\ was evidenced by her member- ships in Lynches and in Kappa Delta Pi. Judy was also an Hon- or graduate.
Academics was not the only field In which Judy was active. She was class president for the January graduates. Judy was also summer school student gov- ernment pnaJdanl for the 1963 session.
Judy's other activities includ- ed membership in Alpha Sigma Tau, where she was rush chair- man this year, and a place on the Academic Affairs ronunit tee. Judy was also a member ol tin- Longwood concert cholr

The Honors Council cannot over-emphasize the fact that col- lege students should recognize their need for extra hep before It Is too late, and they should be willing to take advantage of a program offered to help them. Passible, a few hours of tutoring early in the semester will pre- vent unnecessary pressure at final examination time.

"The finest male singer of our day. I know of no one who couldn't learn from this man's flawless artistry." This ls the evaluation of Gerard Souzay by no less an authority than critic and author Louis Biancolll in the New York World Telegram ti Sun, pronounced upon the oc- casion of the extraordinary French baritone's American op- eratic debut.
For that event he had been personally chosen by the great Leopold Stokowski to proiray the title role of Monteverdi's "Orfeo" with which the maestro opened the season of the New York City Opera Company in 1960. While the other New York critics were equally lavish in their praise, the tribute which the artist values most came in a letter from the conductor him- self: "Thank you for the out- standingly beautiful perform- ances, both vocally and dra- matically. I hope to have the ar- tistic pleasure of making music with you again, either In Ameri- ca or In Europe. You fulfilled completely my conception »f Or- feo, and established for all of us an ideal level of performance."
Last season the baritone re- turned to New York to sing a recital at Hunter College on the city's most distinguished recital series. "Of the many tributes to Claude Debussy during this cen- tenary of his birth, there will probably be none superior to that given by Gerard Souzay," wrote The New York Times of the event. "Each song became a world in itself in Mr. Souzay's performance ... Mr. Souzay has few peers today in translating them Into sound." And the New York Herald Tribune reported: "Souzay not only sings beauti-
fully but he unfolds a song like a prism that Is slowly turned, shedding a galaxy of color, both bold and subtle, onto the be- holder."
Such reviews have become commonplace In the globe-gird- ling career of Gerard Souzay. As recitallst. opera star, orchestral soloist, or on recordings, radio or television, the baritone ls In every sense of the word the true musical artist. He brings to his ait a beautiful natural voice, In- formed by an Inquisitive intel- lect and profound sensitivity, and controlled by an understand- ing appreciation of science, phi- losophy and all the other arts. It Is little wonder that Gerard Souzay ls one of the most sought-after musicians in the world today.
Ever since his enormously successful debut here in 1950, Gerard Souzay has returned to our shores for a part of each season to fill a heavily booked schedule of recitals and orches- tral engagements. He has ap- peared with practically every major orchestra here, under our most distinguished conductors. and has sung at many of our leading festivals, including Tan- glewood and the Casals Festival In Puerto Rico. His recital en- gagements always Include the most discriminating auspices such as New York's Hunter Col- lege and The Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, and has own re citals at Town Hall are eagerly awaited by conotsseurs of the vo- cal art.
But America can claim only a small part of the time of this busy International artist. His concert tours of Europe are usu- ally sold out several seasons in advance Other tours have car- ried him to South America ithree times), Australia and
New Zealand, and both North and South Africa. During one re cent season he circled the glove, singing on five of the earth's six continents.
Another indication of the bari- tone's exalted reputation ls the repeated demand for his serv ices at the great international music festivals. He Is frequently featured In recital and with or- chestra at Edinburgh and Salz- burg, and In opera and concert at Aix-en-Provence. During one single summer he appeared at no fewer than seven major Eu- ropean festivals: The Foorence May Festival, the Casals Festi- val at Prad-s. the Holla d Fes- tival, the Sibeiius Festival In Helsinki, the Grieg Festival in Bergen, and the international festivals of Paris and Venice. This is not counting a flying visit to Tangelwood to perform with the Boston Symphony Or- chestra at the Berkshire I'..-!i val.
As a recording artist Gerard Souzay also enjoys a unique po- sition — unique in the selectivi- ty of the works performed, in the outstanding quality of the performances, and in the high pria.se that greet their release. Capitol's album entitled "The "World of Song" best demon- strates the artist's Incredible versatiity. It comprises a .selec- tion of folk songs in 17 differ- ent languages or dialects, includ- ing an Impeccable Irish brogue! The New York Herald Tribune named it "best vocal record of
has since repeated it with equal impact at the Paris Opera. Re- cent releases that have gathered
I critical kudos among the re- viewers were songs by Schubert (Philips), songs by Debussy (Deutsche Grammophoni and Berlioz' "Danation of Faust" (Angeli. During the past lew months Philips has releaed three exciting new discs: Schu- bert's great song cycle "Winter- rci.-e." MOfll by Duparc. and songs by Hrihoven and Brahms. Just the number of different companies that have sought Sou- zay to record for them Is lm-
-ive. Gerard Souzay was born into
a musical family In Angers, France. His father, an army of- ficer, played ttta 'cello and his mother, as well as two brothers and a sister, sang and accom- panied one another at the piano. It was not always his plan to be a singer, however. At the Col-
of Chinon, he majored in philosophy and at the age of eighteen he went to Paris to work toward an advanced de- gree in this field. At the same time he began vooal coaching with the noted French musician Pierre Bernac, and two years later entered the Parts Conserv- atory. Philosophy was thus aban- doned as a career, but It re- mains today a favorite subject for leisure reading.

Maturity Of Seniors In a thorough evaluation conducted by the South-
ern Association of Colleges and Universities last yea.r the Association commented that perhaps the atmos- phere at LongWOOd is too protective to enable its Students to develop an adequate sense of maturity.
In no other sspecl of the college does this seem more evident than in the rules and regulations it maintains for Seniors. The problem is that there is, no meaningful recognition made of the differences t
between the Seniors and the other classes. That is. in, terms of the rules that Seniors must obey, there is no graduated scale of rules that take into consideration the fad thai most college seniors have been in college for three yeara and that most of them are 21 or over. With the exception of 11:00 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. per- mission, the Seniors live under the same rules as the Freshmen. No allowance is made for the fact that the Seniors have been at Longwood for three years and that they left home three years before.
Instead of imposing the same set of rules and regulations on everyone, there should exist a graduated scale of rules such that the Seniors have the least restrictions than the other students. After all, in another three months most Seniors will be self-sup- porting and will live in their own apartments, etc.
The regulation structure as it exists now does not allaws for the Longwood student to gradually develop a sense of security adequate enough for her to cope with the world that waits beyond the protective walls of the Longwood campus. Instead she leaves a cotton- candy cradle to face the world . . with a store of per- mission cards, sign-out cards, call downs, and pink slips.

New Semester Brings
A Shortchanged Education

ITHACA. N.Y.-U.P.)—The re- cently released report by the Faculty Committee on the Quali- ty of Undergraduate Instruction at Cornell University states that students across the nation are being shortchanged in their edu caUon. "There can be no doubt that sutdent dissatisfaction with undergraduate instruction, at Cornell as elsewhere, has basis in fact, " the report stated bluntly.
The 13,000-word report called for a "marked change" in the attitude of teachers toward stu- dents and for Increased emphas- is on the Importance of teach- ing. Teaching, it said, must be placed on the same level as re- search, publishing and public service.
However, the report stressed, "we are convinced that the in- creasing contact with external affairs on the part of profes- sors does benefit undergrad- uate education. There is too lit- tle understanding of this point by students and people outside the University.'
The committee noted that the past year "was marked by mounUng criticisms of the edu- cation that the nation's univer- sities were giving their under- graduates" and termed its re- port "an extensive self-examina- tion." The committee held more than 25 meetings, talked with
Cuts, faculty members and administrative officers and stud- led numerous written reports.
Undergraduate education at Cornell, the report said, "though generally conscientious, often very good and occasionally bril- liant — commands neither the attention nor the status it de- serves, if the quality of our i''.iching Is not as high as It can and should be - and that is our finding tlien the fundamental solution is that each one of us devote a considerably greater ef- fort to making it better."
This requires 'an academic atmosphere In which students
feel that the university is truly Interested in their educational and cultural development — in their ideas, problems, and as- pirations, and in their desire and ability to help improve the educational process. This atmos- phere has not yet been achiev- ed," the report said, "at least i for the great majority of our' students."
"At Cornell today there are few mechanisms whereby stu- dents can get (he faculty and administration to give real con- sideration to their reactions and proposals without running the
risk of being viewed by many as violators of good taste, or worse. But the fact that stu- dent discontent or indifference may denve in part from cir- cumstances beyound the univer- sity's control does not mean that institutions of higher learning have no obligation to respond to the student's problems. On the contrary, in its teaching role the university is more than a dispen- ser of knowledge; as an educa- tional institution it is charged with evoking and guiding the de- velopment of the young person's potential in Judgment as well as intellect."
This doesn't mean, the report said, that the university has "either the capacity or the ob- ligation to play the role of psy- chotherapist, let alone of sub- stitute parent. It does, however, have the duty and the ability to provide him wlh teachers
which is not the same thing as exposing him to scholars) and to create a physical and social en- vironment conducive to aca- demic and cultural pursuits."
These needs cannot be met "If a substantial portion of the facu- lty define their responsibilities to undergraduates primarily in terms of formal instruction, leaving to others the task of hearing out the student, ior the task of i responding to his lntel-
, lectual groupings and support- ing or challenging his ideas," said the report.

powerful theme In early Protestant theology. "God is hiding His face." The Lutheran answer was, of course, Have faith. Do not rely on works, for they are as allentated as you.
Turning the theology into epistemology, the Hegelians re- ferred to the divorce between our subjective needs and intuitions and the objective world given in science and social institutions. Hegel relied on the working out of his- tory to bring these parts together But reviving the Protestant insight, Kierke- gaard insisted that we must be aut- hentically committed in our moment by moment choices and not treat ourselves as scientific or historical objects. This "existential'' answer has of course had great Influence In criticism of our pre- sent over-organized routines.
Marx pinned down the alienation to people's loss of control over their pro- ductive life, and therefore loss of their primary human nature. Productive ma- chinery and rules of work had passed into the hands of an owning class. Prod-
ucts of labor became commodities moving In a market, rather than uses in a community. His answer was, organize politically and expropriate the expropriators.
Nineteenth Centuury Definition In the late 19th century there was also a psychiatric mean-
ing of alienation as insanity <pyschiatrlsts were "alienists"). The hallucinations of the insane mind were incompatible with, or divorced from, sensory reality. Freud tended to extend this con- cept by showing that everybody was somewhat psychopathologl- cal, and his bias wns to relax the anti-instinctual bans that led to such a deep chasm between wish and reality.
All these extensions of Alienation are deeply Important and true at present. And in the conditions of today, we have found another important aspect of alienation which <I think) is meant by the young. Modern societies increasingly exclude vast groups of people; e.g. the aged, the farmers, the Negroes, the young. With automation, the exclusion threatens to become wider.) To
be "allentated" is to feel productively useless, without future, ex- cluded. Further the needs and feelings of the excluded are not oaid attention to In the goals and decisions of administrative so- ciety. To be "alienated" is to feel processed, exploited, admin- istered.
What follows? First, the young cannot identify with the so- cial goals and they say. "That's not my scene. I am nowhere." But then, as an immediate next step, they say. "They are no- vhere. We young are the only people. We have to go it alone; of necessary, we must resist their Interference in our lives."
This has been the persistent tendency of the present 'youth" phenomena: the adolescent sub-culture, the Beat move- ment, the para-colleges, the draft protest.
Different. Hopeful Aspect But let me now suggest a different and more hopeful aspect
of "alienation" which is also directly relevant to today passing Into the future.
In important respects, advanced societies are too comfort- able and we call them "affluent;" they are too achieved and we say they are "establishments." Such a condition is stifling; It cuts one off from meaning, which Is given only in the risky mo- tion of growth. For example, some psychotherapists Jocosely speak of the "California syndrome," referring to people who have grown up with every advantage and satisfaction and then break down at 40. complaining, "Life has passed me by." Cer- tainly the young of the middle-class feel a frustration that lead* them either to senseless delinquency or to efforts to make a bet- ter world on new premises.
Among dissenting college students, It seems that Just be- cause they have been economically secure, they transcend eco-
I nomlc motives. Sure of $5,000 a year, they do not need to com- jpete for $20,000. Similarly, since they come from respectable homes, they can go to Jail without disgrace. But this is not nec- essarily a sign of lack of commitment. On the contrary It may mean a forward step In rich societies: toward productive enter- prise, social service, lively community, as goods In themselves, no matter what the economic and personal costs.

Dear Editor: On behalf of the FarmvUle
Area Chapter. American Red Cross, I wish to take this op- portunity to express our deep ap- preciation to you, members of the faculty, and students of Long- wood College, for the most ex- cellent service they rendered In making the American Red Cross Bloodmobue visit such a success at the college February 17.
It is only through the gener- osity and humanitarian service like our fine colleges are willing to give that this life - saving Blood Program Is made avail- able to our colleges, hospitals,
and all citizens of our town and community.
Due to the special appeal from National Red Cross for extra blood to help save the lives of our many hospitalized service- men in Viet Nam. the wonder- ful response from Longwood Col- lege to this urgent call was most gratifying to your local Red Cross Chapter, our medical staff, and the entire community.
Thanking you sincerely. Mrs. Adelaide Perry Ed-

Infirmary Staff Improves Looks Of Infirmary
By Mary Edgerton
The Infirmary ls now an at- tractive place to stay. Our murses have done much to en- hance the appearance of the In- firmary over the years. Each has adopted a project to better the infirmary and hope to make it a more pleasant place to stay.
In the last several years Iron- post beds have been replaced by standard hospital beds and bed- side tables have been obtained that were not previously avail- able. The overhead bed lights and the button-calling system have been installed recently, and the porch has been redecorated ai d furnished nicely.
Another interesting fact ls that four years ago a girl could not smoke at all while In Ute In- firmary. However, now we can smoke on the porch. This re- sulted from the efforts of our nurses.
Just reeent'y the nurses suc- ceeded In getting the Infirmary painted Instead of the old. dull walls they are now freshly paint- ed with the largest room painted In pink and the other rooms In blue and white which brighter, the Infirmary considerably. Mrs. Foulk made curtains trimmed to match the freshly painted walls. The nurses are now hoping to get the rest of the Infirmary floor tiled to Increase appear- ances and for hygienic reasons.
The latest addition for the In- Prmary that the nurses are hop- ing for ls a television A TV set would greatly add to the pleas- ure and comfort of girls that are well enough to be up for a short time but not well enough to at- tend classes.
If each member of the student body would contribute a small amount of money, the cost of a television could be easily raised. Our nurses have tried and are stil' trying to help us, so let's see what the student body can do to help our nurses and our- selves.
Further information about a money raising campaign will be announced at a later time.

Happy Juniors Recall Week-End Class Of 1967 Enjoys
Concert And Dance
LA* «r^ Otis Redding performs the concert Saturday afternoon.
The Junior class Is now set- tling down to serious studies again after a successful week- end of dining, dancing, and ring- ing. It appears from comments overheard from members of the Junior class as well as from other Longwood students, that the 1966 Ring Dance was a smashing sucess.
The week-end opened with a concert which lasted approxi mately two hours and starred Otis Redding, popular singer of rock 'n roll, and his touring band.
Following dinner in the Dining Hall at 5:30 Saturday, students returned to their dormitories to got dressed for the formal Ring Dance that was held in the Main Rec. The Rhondels. popular dance band which traveled from Norfolk to Farmville, play- ed roc): 'n roll for four hours.
The highlight of the Ring Dance was the ring figure, at which time the girls received
their class rings from their es- corts. After all the couples pass- ed through the figure and were presented, the members of the Junior class and their escorts led the first dance.
After the dance, which ended at 1:00 a.m., there was a break- fast (or the Juniors and their escorts only. ,
2:00 a.m. found many Juniors I coming wearily but happily back i into their respective dormito-1 ries. So closes another chapter! In the history of Longwood's big week-ends. Now everyone is looking forward to Spring Vaca- tion!

Whitehead, Shirley Timberlake, Prances Payne, and Courtney Pox are working to learn about the equipment so they will have some knowledge of the console when they take the course next semester. Working with these girls are Ann Tweedy and Vickie Jester who helped produce last semester's program entitled "Ricking Around."
The girls produce a variety of programs that cover the span of comedy to tragedy. However, the program has some serious drawbacks since It is taken for non-credit. The show has to be produced and recorded during one hour on Mondays, and some- thing has to be done so that each participant can work out his own part. As It stands now, "SRO" has the status of an extra- curriuclar activity.
