Students To Vote On Issue

Will The §choolma'am Change Her Name?

Students will vote this month on a new title for Madison's yearbook,

, T.bjc Jichpolma'am, according > to Patti Lou Jernigan, editor of this year's annual.

"It is too late to affect this year's annual, but the new name will ap- pear on the 1962 edition," she said.

"A new name for the annual has

been proposed because the name "Schoolma'am does not entirely re- flect the present purpose of the college. For example, the college now offers degrees in fields other than teacher education and the college now accepts some male stu- dents. Moreover, the name "School- ma'am does not have the same connotation that it did 20 or 30 years ago. The connotation of the word today is generally unfavor- able."

From the list of suggestions sub- mitted by the student body a special committee last year selected four possible names which will ap- pear on the ballot. These four

names are: The Bluestone, The eMCee, The Madisonian, and The Schoolma'am.

The Bluestone was chosen be- cause it is typical of the college and the area; Madison is known for its bluestone buildings. The first alma mater was "Bluestone Hill." The committee said they thought this was a significant and unique name which will last through the history of the college.

The eMCee, which is a play on words, represents Madison Col- lege and master of ceremonies. The yearbook acts as a master of cere- monies because it introduces people and events to the student body.

Scribblers Take Away Privileges LETTERS TO EDITOR Due to the immature conduct of one or more Madison Col-

lege students, the entire student body is now without the priv- ilege of having daily menus posted in the P. O. lobby.

This privilege was obtained only a short time ago through the cooperation of Miss Raine. Markings of unnecessary names of food such as mud-pies, meant the end of our menu's short life. One would think that college students would know bet- ter than this. Perhaps they learned how to act this way at the college nursery.

With the few privileges the student body is allowed, if each new privilege was handled in the same manner as the posting of menus, it is«.no wonder that we do not get more.

It also seems unfair that the conduct of one or more per- sons should be felt by the entire student body, but it is and always Will be.

In closing, for those immature menu-scribblers there are two appropriate words—grow up!

Two Sides Of The l§gue Issues and controversies are important to every campus be-

cause they are the foothold of spirit and unity. Throughout history, issues have resulted in the building of traditions and knowledge. Without controversies, or two sides of a story, truth and democracy would die.

There is no doubt that on Madison campus practically everyone takes great interest in the controversies and the issues of the day. However, there does seem to be a lack of open- mindedness on these same issues. People have the tendency to feel as if they are being personally attacked when someone challenges their philosophies, whether they happen to be on re- ligion, politics, school matters, or any other subject of contro- versy. Consequently many people, in their fight for their point of view, forget that it is the issue, not the person challenging their views, that they are discussing. This is not only true of •many students on campus, .but also of some administrative members. ,

Maybe some people will brush this lack of "broad-minded- ness" off as "human nature", but in order to live and teach in a society where the challenge of an idea is the basis for its existence, a person must learn to be broad-minded.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Altai r.o.hillll

tf!f&0lf H&K &CMW"-Jt^*#~***i)

Women Students Enjoy Dining Dear Bob Linton:

After reading your latest column concerning the Valentine's^-©ay banquet, my first thought wasjthat either the vital juices had long ceased to flow to your intellect; no one would be your valentine; or that you must be a motley bour- geois who prefers spasmodically eating python meat' with your ton- gue tip darting and dripping venom.

However, too often refutations are merely indignant expostulations and contradictions, and, although they generate heated feeling, they do not destroy arguments. My re- ply does not consist in declaring in vigorous language that your- statements are "all wrong." It is my hope that it is a cool, syste- matic attack to show exactly what is wrong.

To begin with, the food served us more than fulfilled the "basic requirements recommended by die- ticians. May I also point out that fallacy lies in one's thinking his "daily needs" can be satisfied with one meal. I understand that in our culture usually three basic meals are served for this purpose and are subordinated by intermit- tent snacks.

Secondly, your concern over the money spent on such "niceties as candles, doilies and decorated ice cream."

No new candles were purchased for the occasion.

The doilies cost each student ap- proximately 1/5 of one cent.

The icing on the ice cream was not stale as it came from a very recent shipment. (Perhaps your taste buds were a tad off.)

However, Mr. Linton, I am in- clined to agree with you that per- haps students would prefer having plain cake and ice cream to deco- rated ice cream alone. Not only would the former be more filling psychologically and physiologically, but also more economical. It costs the school $105 for decorated ice cream one meal whereas the cost for plain cake and ice cream is only $81.50.

T suppose it all boils down to this: After walking in endless slush to endless classes with pro- fessors endlessly challenging, some of us enjoy leaving our element to dine occasionally instead of attend- ing meals only to masticate.

Sincerely, ^nne Barber /■

unhappy for missing a good meal and would have proceeded to Doc's. Why can't some other peo- ple admit their own human mis- takes and weaknesses and take the little surprises that come in daily life with a sportful attitude?

Sincerely, Gayle Fitzgerald

Editor's Note:

Bob Linton, in reference to his mode of dress at the Valentine's Day Banquet, says that because no announcement was made concern- ing the banquet until 12:30 Tues- day, it was impossible for him and several other men who live away from campus to change clothes. He reports that he had classes and conferences from 1:30 to 5:50 and thus did not have adequate time to return to his room.

Girls Thank Miss Raine

Dear Editor: When we walked into the dining

hall Tuesday night, February 14, our first thought was, "there are those boys again dressed in their casual clothes of sport shirts and khaki trousers. I wonder if we'll ever see them at least dressed like men. Maybe we should start eti- quette classes for them so they'll know" what dress for a banquet means." We always like to be helpful.

Miss Raine, we wish fo thank you and your staff for our fine banquet and the wonderful atmos- phere made possible through the use of candles, doilies and the dec- orated ice cream. We pay our taxes to the state, our tuition room and board, and other fees to this school and rely upon your judg- ment at keeping our traditions so that our culture may continue at its best. We realize the work you all put forth to make our stay here more pleasant by taking us out of the rut of everyday life whenever the occasion presents itself.

We are looking forward to the coming banquets, when once again we women can be friends together in the happy atmosphere you pro- vide.

Mary B. Nelson Barbara Haney

Thinks Linton Should Apologize Dear Editor:

It is our opinion that the free- dom of press on our campus is indeed a thing to be proud and cherished by all students. How- ever, when this freedom is taken advantage of, the entire student body should take a definite stand in protest. We are making refer- ence to the recent paragraph in Bob Linton's column in which the efforts of Miss Raine and her staff to make special meals more festive and memorable to each student was so openly made fun of and vicious- ly attacked. We feel that Mr. Linton, in the future, should direct his commentaries to valid topics that would be of valuable interest to our student body and cease us- ing his column, as a channel to hurt innocent people. In closing, we feel that an immediate printed and personal apology should be made to Miss Raine and her staff, by Bob Linton.

Sue Budd Pattie Smith

Let's Have A Sportful Attitude * Dear Editor:

If I have walked in to dining hall for dinner on Valentine's Day and had on loafers, socks, a skirt, and sweater because I had missed the^ banquet announcement that day, I would have turned around

MALE STUDENT EXPRESSES VIEWS

Dear Editor: Since it has been brought to my

attention by wide criticism by both women and men students, I feel that the time has come that I make it emphatically clear how I stand on these issues, particularly since the Men's Student Body did not elect Linton to his position on the BREEZE.

I feel that the attack on the Val- entine Banquet was unjustified and without cause. I feel that Mr. Lin- ton doesn't realize the labor and time that goes into the preparation of a regular meal, much less that of a banquet. Rather than having criticized the banquet, a special effort should have been made to congratulate Miss Raine and her staff.

I feel that Mr. Linton should concern his column with campus news only. Concerning his com- ments on the Fraternity initiation, I do not feel that he had the back- ground to make criticisms 'since he is i not a member. In regard to the criticisms of the Student Gov- ernment Organization, rather than putting us in a negative light, he should be making all possible ef- forts to help the organization grow and gain status on this campus.

In conclusion, I would like to point out that Mr. Ljnton, who has made many complaints pertain- ing to the condition of the Men's Day Room, has done very little, if anything, to help the problem.

The viewpoints expressed in this letter are my own and not neces- sarily those of all the men students.

Masculine Matters by Bob Linton

Charles Rodeffer and Bob Black- burn, in their letter to the editor, presented an eloquent condemna- tion of this column and assails practically all the editorial stands that this writer has taken. They charge me with "negativism" and maintained that this columnist failing to "create understanding' between men and women students.

In their saccharine defense of Miss Sue Raine and her staff, Mr. Rodeffer and Mr. Blackburn neg- lect to mention that they do npt eat their meals in the D-Hall ex- cept on special occasions. I fail to see how they can have such a > sympathetic appreciation for the dining hall. I heartily agree that Miss Raine does an excellent job in providing a pleasant "atmosphere for dining, but I thought that the Valentine's Day Banquet was hard- ly something that mature college students would enjoy.

The gentlemen charged that I do not have the right to criticize the" men's fraternity, in that I am not a member of that organization. It is my opinion that when any or- ganization opens its activities to public view, ft also opens itself to public criticism, both favorable and unfavorable.

The gentlemen maintained that this column has failed to create good will and understanding for the men students and particularly the men's S.G.O. Frankly, I know of nothing of interest to the aver- age reader of this column that the S.G.O. has done. This column at- tempts to appeal to both men and women students and certainly no item of business of this year's S.G.O. has had much, if any, sig- nificance to the female reader of "Masculine Matters". o

S.G.O. Officers To Be Elected

Four candidates for President will be the main point of interest when Men's S.G.O. major officers are selected Wednesday. Larry Armentrout, Sheldon Layman, Wayne Liskcy, and Fred Zerkle have been nominated for the presi- dential race.

Named as candidates for vice-" president are Henry Buhl, Dan Hooke, Darrell Nygaard, and Floyd Monger.

Layman, from Harrisonburg, is Treasurer of the S.G.O. and is a business major. An art major, Liskey is from Mc- Gaheysville and formerly attended V.P.I. He presently serves on the Honor Council. Zerkle is a chem- istry major from New Market. All are academic juniors.

Vice-presidential candidate Buhl is a social science major from New Market. Hooke, a music and math major from Penn Laird, is Record- er of Points for the S.G.O. Ny- gaard, a transfer student from North Dakota State School of Science, lives in Staunton and is a business major. Monger from Elk- ton is a business major and is a member of the Student Court.

The New President of the S.G.O. will take office March 31 at the Major Officer Installation at a col- lege assembly. Other officers of the S.G.O. will be installed at a later date. Retiring president of the S.G.O. is Charles Rodeffer and retiring vice-president is Chester Bradfield.

Student Questions Merits Of Class Night Productions

by Ginny Anderson One more class night has passed.

It can be counted among the few highly commendable productions sponsored by individual classes. The high level of organization was one of the remarkable features of the sophomore presentation. What is to be said hereafter is a state- ment of class nights in general.-.

These annual programs are worthy of due consideration as they consume great time and ef- fort. The pros and cons, those felt to be such by this reporter, are set forth in the following stated ments.

1) Class nights provide an ex- cellent opportunity for the class to cooperate and work as a whole. It is a common meeting ground for those students to work together who have not encountered one another in other extracurricular ac- tivities. 2) It provides a second opportunity for freshmen to- become acquainted with their classmates. The first opportunity is the talent show. 3) Class nights provide some worthy talent for audiences.

There are points to be regarded for the other side. The intellectual appeal of class nights is suffering. Many productions resemble a poor- ly organized high school talent

show. 2) They are an unworthy tradition of Madison College. Other traditions such as the marriage ceremony of the classes have been abolished. Why cling to ceremon- ial activities that lack merit for the sake of tradition? 3) Few will ar- gue that a full length production that is student designed, produced and directed is not time consum- ing. It is! Do these affairs de- serve the time and effort that go into staging them?

I should like to conclude by ac- cepting a recent proposal of Dr. Mary E. Latimer. Miss Larimer proposes that one night a year be set aside for one class night. Each class would participate for one half hour. The presentations would be placed on a competitive basis with competent individuals to judge the effort of each group. This need not be a highly intellectual en- deavor, bilt would make the script more concise. It would erase these rambling scripts where characters wander in from nowhere to sing a song that at that moment con- veniently fits into the script. This competitive presentation would re- new any class spirit that may chance to be threadbare. I believe this would be a worthwhile experi- ment.

AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY

Immigrate Pizza Does Very Well

Despite pizza's popularity, few people can precisely pinpoint the food's origin.

A woman spokesman for the Cul- tural Division of' the Italian Em- bassy in New York City reported that Naples is the "pizza capital" of the world. She said the deli- cacy has since been exported from Italy's famous western seaport into other Italian areas, namely Rome and Milan.

Rand McNally's "European Cookbook" contends that pizza is an adaptation of the Jewish un- leavened matzo bread brought to Italy by Roman soldiers in the Third Century B. C. (A modern parallel finds American servicemen creating a pizza craze in Japan.)

Another source believes that pizza dates back to 200 B. C. when Grecian inhabitants of the Mediterranean did their cooking outdoors. The left-over pieces of their cooked bread would be spread with olive oil, tomatoes and fish, and given to the children.

Pizza's fame spread after World War II from the "Little Italy" oX New York City across the nation to the west coast. So popular was the treat in the west that pizza was smuggled into Mexico in 1957 in an effort to elude the stringent food laws on border exports.

History's Biggest Bargains . (, Q I i .1. _ —..^i T^— *U* lnn«<»? «T/M»ti4 V»n*r« Ho**ti r\nr fat** Karl S*»P« I * ^k u • -r m *mn— -*■ ' Who got the most for the least?

Was it the Detroit Tigers in 1905,' when they paid Augusta, Georgia $750 for a young rookie named Ty Cobb? By the time the "Georgia Peach" hung up his spikes at the end of the 1928 season, he had set 90 records, many of which stand to this 'day.

The Bible mentions a good bar- gain in Genesis 25:34. "Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright." ■ But Jacob may have received the worst of another bargain—when his father-in-law made the young man work 14 years to earn himself two wives, Rachel and Leah.

*> How about history's earliest Dutch treat—the purchase of Man- hattan Island by Dutch settlers in 1626—in exchange for $24 worth of wampum? Did these shrewd shoppers get the biggest bargain in history or does the honor go to President Thomas Jefferson and the United States? In 1803 we paid $15,000,000 to Napoleon for a hunk of land which increased our national area 140% and gave us all or part of 13 new states. Many historians think this shrewd deal, the Louisiana Purchase, deserves the biggest honors.

Can you imagine having the USSR in our backyard? This

would have been our fate had Sec- retary of State William Seward not decided, in 1867, that Alaska was a bargain at the price Russia was ask- ing for it—$7,200,000. Because our 49th state was then an undeveloped icy waste, malcontents dubbed the purchase "Seward's Folly." It re- mained for later events to show us what a "steal" it was.

But you don't have to deal in the millions to get an outstanding bargain, as every housewife knows. Is there a better deal than that open to every American citizen— 12 years of education—absolutely free?

A different type of education— the broadening experiences of travel —can also be obtained at modest cost. For one fifteen-cent subway token, you can traverse four of New York's five boroughs (it costs a nickel to get to the fifth, Rich- mond or Staten Island, by ferry). Putting it another way, you can travel 43 miles in any one direction in America's largest city for the same 15 cents. And, if you take the same train back or—without leaving the" station—switch to another one going in a different direction, you can pile up a mileage limited only by your own endur- ance. If your goal is Europe, you can get there on the lowest fare in the history of .air travel—$389.60

No news is good news but it is vital to this snooper-scooper.

Have you heard about the latest "merchandise attraction" at Doc's? A girl recently gave Norman an order for a Sugar Daddy, Bitt O' Honey, and a Pal to take out. We are not sure of the connota- tion of "Pal" but it sounds suspi- cious. Better be careful girls—we want to keep Doc's on the approval list.

A word of advice goes out to the plaintive cry of the encountered prey of the roving "black limou- sine" (mentioned in the last col- umn of Letters to Editor)—try taking Judo lessons. Actually this is a serious matter, and it sounds suspiciously like the return of the "Green Hornet and Cato." (If you don't catch—try reverting to your childhood radio mystery programs.) However, the said girls must be commended for not entering the car. Congratulations girls, you have admirably upheld the reputa- tion of our college and should serve as an inspiration for us all.

London A. Sanders

AT MADISON SINCE 1939

Sanders Publishes Articles, Text Book

by Gail Woodard

London A. Sanders has been a dedicated member of Madison's faculty since 1939 when he came here as an instructor in the fields of English and business education. Since that time he has published a number of magazine articles and has co-authored a text book for be- ginning accounting.

Mr. Sanders began his prepara- tion for teaching at the University of Tennessee where he received both his B. S. and M. S. degrees. He completed additional under- graduate study at Bowling Green College of Commerce in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and additional graduate study at the University of Ndrth Carolina. He received his M. Ed. degree from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh.

This noteworthy accounting pro- fessor is married and has three children and three grandchildren. "Home" is located on four acres a few miles from dampus. Mrs. Sanders, a teacher too, instructs a fourth grade class at Spottswood School in Harrisonburg.

Mr. Sanders has many duties here at the college besides those of teaching. He has made Out the winter class schedules for fourteen years, probably longer than any other person. He is also respon- sible for the preparation of the

How To Make Decisions Easy

Most of us make dozens of de- cisions every day. In surprisingly many of them, suggests a January Reader's Digest article, we fail to use our most effective mental pow:

ers. There are no hard rules for al-

ways making the right decisions, says author Robert Heilbroner; but there are some guideposts that may be helpful to- you in making up your mind.

Ironically, one of these is to know when not to make a decision. Deciding not to decide is different from being indecisive. The wise decision is not made won impulse or the spur of the moment, It comes only after all available facts are marshalled. Sometimes this calls for postponing decisions until more facts can be gathered.

Facts, however, should not be the only factors in decision-making. Sigmund Freud put it this way: "When making a decision of minor importance, I consider all the pros and cons. In the important deci- sions of our personal life, how- ever, we should be governed by the deep inner needs of our na- ture. Such decisions usually bring an enormous feeling of relief once they are made, if they conform to our inner needs."

Decisions should be kept flex- ible. "Half the difficulties of man," Somerset Maugham wrote, "lie in his desire to answer every question with yes or- no."

Franklin Roosevelt knew the im- portance of flexible decision. "We have to do the best we know how at the moment," he said. "If it doesn't turn out all right, we can modify it as we go along."

Author Heilbroner has some ex- perience with making decisions, be- ing a staff writer for the Rocke- feller Report on the U. S. economy. Among his books is "The Worldly Philosophers," widely used as a college text in economics. o———

MARINE OFFICERS TO VISIT MADISON

Mis-Smonitor Goes To College by Jean Satterwhite

(The throaty, sensual utterances of Mis-Smonitor enters the room from the radio.) We take you to- night, listeners, to the campuses of two very outstanding institutions, where we will observe the Univer- sity of Virginia men and the Madi- son College men. We shall com- pare the Virginia Gentlemen, called the "Cavaliers" with the Madison "Dukes."

Both, naturally possess their merits and their faults. For in- stance, referring to a recent inter- rogative of a Duke, "What have other men got that we don't?" we inform the Dukes that in our sur- vey we discovered that the Cava- liers have one thing which they do not — a polo team!

One must admit that the Univer- sity is better socially speaking. It is widely and well noted for the extraordinary fraternity parties. However, no offense is meant to- wards Madison men. With better facilities and more favorable con- ditions, they might manufacture some lively entertainment right here on Madison campus!

We noticed, in our observations, the apparent difference in dress of the two colleges. No "Cavalier" would dare enter a classroom, or for that matter, set foot on Uni- versity grounds, unless attired in the distinct tweed coat and thin tie, while the casual "Dukes", begrudg- ingly, do manage to button their sport shirts when appearing pub- licly. The stylish Ivy-league look obviously has no appeal to them. Thus, tastes are different for both parties! (Interpretation left to read- er's own discretion; preferably lit- eral).

We can not overlook the fact that the "Dukes" have proved bet- ter athletes in playing basketball than the "Cavaliers" demonstrated in football season, and Madison does not offer athletic scholarships either!

Perhaps the "Dukes" seem more inferior men than the "Virginians," but the feeling of being outnum- bered by the opposite sex, like 14 to 1, would probably affect anyone similarly. What male wants to pre- tend he's chasing fourteen girls? It's much safer to relax and play cards or ping pong. UVa men are more aggressive than they, shall we (say?

By the way, if you attende'd Sophomore Class Night, you sure- ly will not dispute that Madison men have talent (the Utz trumpet sent us! and "Where the Girls Are" was so flattering).

As to the questionable mascu- linity of Madison men, we are not being compromisers only in stating that U Va men are no more mas- culine than Madison men. The fact remains that some men are effeminate, and this type may be found in existence in any walk of life; even on U Va campus, as well as on Madison campus. We can not judge the whole by a part, however.

We conclude that both campuses presented very interesting high- lights, and the schools, individual- ly, have some interesting individ- uals.

Now, until next week, this is Mis-Smonitor signing off and pre- paring for another adventurous journey into the realms of news- worthy localities.

tain Madison girl. Difficulty set in as he only knew her first name. As he inquired from Madison girl to Madison girl, one girl finally said to him earnestly, "There are lots of girls named Diane~at Madi- son, can't you tell me anything more specific about her?"

The young swain mused thought- fully, and then inspiration lighted in his eyes. "Oh yes, he answered, I think she's studying to be a •teacher."

This is not meant to be a slam at one of our "esteemed" neigh- boring men's universities, but this fellow is considered to be an in- tellectual by some , of his fellow Cavaliers.

For those dissatisfied "menu- tampering" customers of the D- hall, here is a solution to your problem and those of us who wish to have menus posted: "Eat at Doc's!"

Hearsay has it that Sherlock Holmes was called in on the case, and his theory was that it could not be the work of a mature col- lege student. (?) Right now he is searching for the culprit over at the Campus School.

Good Samaritans came in many diverse physical features. Return- ing in a taxi from a "really big" weekend, six Madison girls were suddenly confronted by a flat tire on a deserted mountain road. At first they were re-assured when the driver confidently set out to change the tire. Disillusion dawn- ed abruptly when he pulled out a "spare-flat tire" from the trunk!

Trying lo be casual about the situation one girl remarked: "Well, I hope they find us by morning,

for a 17 day-round-trip excursion flight to London, Paris or Amster- dam by DC-8 intercontinental jet, $359.60 by non-stop DC-7C. The budget price, $136 less than the usual fare to Europe, is offered by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines be- tween October 1 and March 31. For the same reduced fare, you can visit many European cities in- stead of just one-'on AXM S \muiir- Stopover Plan. Baggage allow- ance is the same as it would be for Economy Class at the regular fare.

Other daring deals have proved equal bargains. Rushing in where other angels feared to tread, Broad- way actor Martin Gabel sank $10,- 000 into a new play—and drew out $400,000. The play: Life With Father. A lesser investment paid off for Gertrude (a rose is a rose is a rose) Stein, who snapped up Picasso's pictures when he was a starving unknown. A minstrel singer made a fortune by buying his material at $15 to $50 a tune— from composer Stephen Foster, author of such classics as "Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair" and "My Old Kentucky Home."

Sometimes you don't have to spend a cent to get a crack at a fortune—you just have to find the right* cent. San Francisco bank teller Caro Martin was recently given-a r943 copper penny in some change. What's so unusual about that? Nothing—except that the Denver mint wasn't supposed to be ' producing copper pennies during the wartime shortage of ili^jjjlal. As a result of the Denver mint's goof, Martin was offered $10,000 by a coin dealer—and some col- lectors value his penny at $25,000.

I've got an 8 o'clock class." A" amateur coin collector named Hope set in though, when an

approaching car slowed to a halt with a seemingly "neighboring" yokel who might be able to help the situation by lending a helping tire. The hopeful girls faces changed to fearful contortions when they noticed said Samaritan bore a marked resemblance to— you guessed it—the "Jackson Case Suspect". The tension eased when he "dragged away" as he had no spare to spare.

Did these, girls ever return to Madison College? It is not cer- tain, but we are wondering if the reports that there are some intel- lectual hill-billies dwelling some- where.

NAMES FOR NEW PARTIES

University of Chicago MAROON offers some ready-made titles for new campus political parties:

ANTI — Association of Non- Timorous Individualists

ETC—Edgers Toward Commun- ism

WASP — Working Association of Student Progressives

STEMP — Students to Eliminate Militant Pacifists

MUST — Militant Union of Stu- dent Thinkers

Ray Chambers has another 1943 copper, acquired from a Queens bank in a roll of change—but the man says he won't part with it even for $100,000. Incidentally, though Caro Martin has tested his coin and says it's real copper, the Denver mint says it isn't—the mint issued a statement saying that 1943 copper pennies just don't exist! A penny for your thoughts? You might be thinking that bargains are everywhere—they just keep turning up like bad (?) pennies. o———

following replies are to questions received

in by

The answer students.

Question: Who is responsible for signing the blind date book, the girl arranging the date or the girl having the date? ^

Answer: Originally, ■'IT was an- nounced that either girl could sign the blind date book in her own dorm. However, Student Council recently decided that the student having the date is responsible for signing the blind date book in her own dormitory.

The student arranging the blind date is responsible for the date's conduct since she must know him well enough to vouch for his be- havior.

Under extenuating circumstances, the hostesses or social secretaries in Alumnae may give special per- mission to sign out after 6:00 P.M.

Question: When you cut a two- hour class, such as a lab, does it count as a double cut?

Answer: No, it does not. The cut system provides that the num- ber of cuts shall correspond to the number of class meetings per week; however, this number shall never exceed three.

* * * * Question: Is there anything we

can do about getting unlimited cuts? . -i^rrsr; Yes, make Ttetris Lrei>

Seriously, Student Council real- ized that the majority of students advocate an unlimited cut system. Our next step was to see how the faculty felt.

This year, Student Council con- ducted a poll of the faculty to see how many would favor an un- limited cut system and why. This poll revealed that a minority fav- ored unlimited cuts.

Student Council would like the students to submit their reasons for wanting unlimited cuts. These questions should be considered:

What advantages and disadvan- tages does an unlimited cut sys- tem have?

Would unlimited cuts help or hinder scholarship? Why?

Should unlimited cuts be award- ed to all classes? Why?

Student Council will rely heavily on student response to determine whether we should pursue this matter further.

Replies should be sent to Box 1. Also, if you have any questions you would like Student Council to answer, please submit them to Box 1. o

WELLS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF FRANCES SALE

At the February 14th meeting of the Frances Sale Home Economics Club, the following officers were elected for the 1961-62 school year: President, Carol Wells; Vice-Presi- dent, Diane Sykes; Secretary, Lois Blackwell; Treasurer, Audrey Cof- fey; Reporter, Pat Wash; Program Chairman, Kay Ferguson; Ser- geant-at-arms, Martha Craig.

Dr. Elmer Smith spoke to the club and showed slides of the Amish at the February 21st meet- ing. .

Six new members were initiated on the afternoon of February 27th.

The Student Education Associa- tion sponsors a discussion group held every other Thursday at 3:30 at the Campus School. The pur- pose of the discussion group is to have students listen to and discuss the talk presented that day. The discussion is open to all interested students and faculty members.

Every other week, Judy Brown and Nancy Kane put together a program that they feel "will inter- est everyone on campus." After selecting topics, Judy and Nancy call on professors who they feel are interested and qualified in speaking on the subject. The topics are varied since Judy and Nancy try to pick one professor from each department. Some of the topics that have been discussed

*1iave covered the preju*<fice against the Jews, the ways to promote bet-

•ter international relations, the ide- ology of Communism, and Satellite missiles.

The meetings generally last one hour with emphasis on the discus- sion which takes place after the fifteen minute talk. Refreshments are provided. Judy said that "it is not particularly an intellectual group, but a student group. There is a need for the students to show enthusiasm and interest in the meetings and what they would like discussed." The next meeting is to be March 6 and the topic will be "Should Children's Sports Be Or- ganized ?" o

exam schedule. In conjunction with this, he instigated a majpr re- form in 1942. In the following years he tried to further the re- form but was unsuccessful. Last year Dr. Dingledine "sold" the de- sired reforms to the faculty and administration in a two-minute talk. Mr. Sanders suggests, "If you have a reform measure, hire Dr. Dingle- dine as your agent."

Interests outside of the classroom are teaching a disabled veteran for the Veterans Administration for three years. Hobbies are a nursery consisting of around 3,000 seed- lings of over twenty varieties. Other interests are electricity and. home wiring 'and rebuilding gar-' den machines. Mr. Sanders belongs to the United Business Education Association, Southern Business Ed- ucation Association, Virginia Edu- cation Association, and the Ameri- can Accounting Association. He is a member of the Methodist Church and was active in helping the Wes- ley Foundation obtain its home on Mason Street.

Mr. Sanders is well liked by most of his students. They find his classes interesting and enter- taining. Particularly do they ad- mire his frankness concerning his likes and dislikes. Some of the latter are people who get excited about teaching on Saturday; at eight o'clock in the morning; or at two-thirty in the afternoon, be- cause students are sleepy at that time of day; and students who park in parking places reserved for fac- ulty members.

Two interesting facts about this professor are that 1) he is Dr. Dickerson's landlord, and 2) that he does not understand why, without a single hour of geography, he was invited to become a "fellow" of the American Geographical Society.

out. some of these programs such as bike rides and back-c<unpus cookouts may be asked. "I want the students to come to me freely and tell me what they want added or changed," Ruth commented.

Chosen editor of the BREEZE was Carol Almond. Her aim is to set a stronger editorial policy. As in the past, the BREEZE will cover both sides of pertinent issues. The newspaper will express minor- ity opinions as well as the major- ity. "A newspaper," Carol re- marked, "is only as good as its staff."

Editor of the 1962 Schoolma'am is Carole Ann Noel. She would

f^ike to bring the annual closer to the college life of the students by including more student activities, improving write-ups about classes, clubs, sororities, and athletic events. "The main objective of the year- book is to make it something the students will be proud of because, it holds many of their college mem- ories," Carole Ann stated. o

Through the years a number of books have been brought out which contained only blank pages. In 1929, for example, there ap- peared — appropriately enough — "What I Know About Wall Street After 14 Years' Experience."

SPORTS SPOTLIGHT

by

Linda Quist The Madison Duchesses ended their season Thursday, Feb-

ruary 9, with victories they have long been capable of. For the first team Miller, Buren, Curry, Quatse, Dean, and Quist took the .floor and held the Sweet Briar girls in check. When the seesaw battle ended the Purple and Gold held the lead by one point. The final score was 33-32 with Miller leading the scor- ing with 14 points, followed by Buren with 9. Seniors playing their last game for Madison were: Punky Smith, Mary Ann Budz, and Pat Dean.

The second game was equally exciting. This time the Duchesses were able to take an early lead and hold it. Punky Smith was high scorero for the second team with 14 points, fol- lowed with Carpenter with 10. The final score was. 36-27. All in all, two things can be said about the season — it was loads of fun and it had a fabulous ending. The teams would like' to thank Mrs. Geil and Miss Hester for their time and efforts.

Intramural basket ball- is still going strong. Jackson came out ahe.ad of Spotswood 12-6, and Gifford won over Sheldon 23-11. Tuesday's games (a week ago) were nip ancl tuck all the way. In the'first game Wayland came out ahead 12-10 in a "sudden death" playoff in which the first team to score, break- ing the tie, wins the game. The second game, Johnston vs Logan, was just as close. In a race against the clock to break the tie, Johnston scored and won, 14-12. This Thursday the Johnston vs Wayland game was -really a close one — 8-7 for Johnston. Jackson was unable to get a team on the floor for the second game that day, so the Sororities won by forfeit. •

Tennis extramurals will be starting in Reed Gym this Monday, March 6, at 4:30. The tennis team will be under the direction of Miss Hester. Bring your rackets and plan to prac- tice.

Anyone who is interested in fencing on the fencing team, please contact Linda Quist, Wayland 203, before Monday, March 6. Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:30 and Wednesdays at 7:00. With the number of people who have had fencing, or are taking fencing, surely there are more of yon who would like to try — there's ne harm in trying. It's a good way to improve your fencing, too!

Social dance intramurals have begun. Meetings are Mon- day 8-9 and Thursday 4:30-5 :30 in Ashby Gym. The cha-cha, polka, California jitterbug will be taught along with anything else you all are interested in. The intramurals will be con- cluded with a dancing contest, the winner being selected by judges for over-all performance* The winner will be 'given a "date"!! How 'bout that, girls!

The Fencing Club is planning to send a team to the Invi- tational Fencing Meet to be held at VMI on Saturday. They will fence with a team from Frostburg Teacher's College, Mary- land. Good luck, team.

Pres Brown has donated a beautiful 15 inch trophy to the W.A.A. which will be awarded to the dormitory with the most points accumulated yearly in intramural and extramural sports. It will be on display soon for all of you to see. Get out and play so the trophy will be yours.

Wesley Foundation Becomes Accredited

The Wesley Foundation at Madi- son College became a standard ac- credited Wesley Foundation this January.

The General Board of Education of the Methodist Church requires Wesley Foundations to meet cer- tain standards to become accred- ited, and to remain accredited. As colleges have to meet certain stan- dards for accreditation, so do Wes- ley Foundations.

Some of the standards an ac- credited W.F. must maintain: 1. There must be an adequate pro- gram of student religious work. 2. A professional director must have as a minimum a B.D. degree or an M.AT with some training in theol- ogy. 3. There must be adequate facilities for a W.F. to carry on its work. The present facilities at 690 South Mason Street became the headquarters for the W.F. August 16, 1960. 4. A standard W.F. must have a thoroughgoing plan of fi- nance. 5. A W.F. must be regular- ly organized with a Board of Di- rectors under the auspices of the annual Conference Board of Edu- cation and the Inter-Conference Commission on Student Work. The local members of this board are Rev. Harvey W. Ashby, Lora Bow- man, Shirley Coates, Mrs. Dorothy Garber, Mr. R. C. Haydon, Penny Ryerson, .Mr. London Sanders, Dr. Henry L. Sublett, Lib Tittsworth, Mrs. Louis L. Tourgee, Jr. and Mrs. R. C. Wilson.

Men Win Game With Faculty

In the men's intramural basket- ball action February 20, Chester Bradfield led the Y.MCA with ten points to a 27-25 overtime victory over the Faculty. John Copp led the Faculty with 11 points. In the second game of the evening, the Day Room, led by Mike Whitmire with 20 points defeated Sigma Del- ta Rho, 71-32. Dan Hooke scored nine points for the losers.

The second round of play on February 27 saw Willis Young score 20 points in a losing cause as Sigma Delta Rho dropped a 51- 36 decision to the YMCA. Dennis Golladay led the "Y" with 12 points. In the second game Ellis Matheny of the Men's Day Room and John Copp of the Faculty scored 11 points each as the Day Room defeated the Faculty, 49-39.

Next Monday night, the Day Room and the YMCA will clash in a game that will decide the champion of the tourney. Both teams are undefeated. Game time is 8:00 at Reed Gym. Preceding the championship game, the Facul- ty will meet Sigma Delta Rho at 7:00.
