IRC Announces Discussion Results

The International Relations Club sponsored a lively discussion Tuesday night, February 13, on current affairs. Topics under consideration were: What action should the UN take against Red China now that she has been branded an aggressor? What should be our foreign policy toward the remainder of Free Asia?

There was a wide difference of opin- ion, and numerous sides of both ques- tions were brought out. In the ef- forts of the group to reach some defi- nite conclusions, it gained ne,w insight into many of the difficulties and prob-

Westhampton Defeats Duchesses; Suffer First Loss Of Season

by Margie Epperson

'On Saturday, February 17, at West- hampton College, the Madison Duch- esses suffered their first defeat of the season by losing two games to the "mighty" Westhamptonites.

The game between the two first- string teams was anpther of those fast moving, exciting games, with the score being quite close throughout.

Starting for the Duchesses were: M. Bluett, N. Hardy, and B. Sorenson, as forwards; C. Cockrill, D. Webb, and R" Sorenson, as guards. During the game M. Riddleberger, B. Ramsey, C. Quesenberry were put in as forwards and L. Kindig and L. Woodyard in the guarding positions.

Early during the first quarter the girls from Westhampton took the lead, and as hard as the Madisonites tried they could not overcome that lead; neither team \yas able to score dur- ing the second quarter.

The first half ended with West- hampton leading 14 to 8.

During the second half of 'the game the Duchesses came back and began to bring up their score, but were not able to hold down the Westhampton six. The first game ended with a final score of 27 to 26 in favor of Westhampton.

High scorers of the first game of

the afternoon were Betty Sorenson with 17 points, and Ramsey with six points for Madison; Sheema led, with a total of 16 points, and Dow was sec- ond with 7 points, for Westhampton.

Beginning for Madison in the sec- ond game of the afternoon were N. Birch, D. Harris, and S. Crawford, in the forward positions, and G. Matz, J. Cocke, and M. Epperson in the guard- ing positions. Other players who sub- stituted at various times (were: J. Tailor, J. Thompson, D. Dickerson, as forwards and Woodyard, R. Turner, and J. Umbeger as guards.

,Here again the six from Westhamp- ton, took the lead early in the first part of the game, and they never lost it.

The final score was 35 to 28, West- hampton. High scorers for Madison were S. Crawford with 11 points and N. Birch with 7. For Westhampton Lay, with 15 points and Tugate, with 13 points, were high scorers.

After the games a tea was given for

the teams, and then the Duchesses headed for home, pausing long enough at the Wakefield Grill for some of that delicious chicken.

Saturday the Duchesses meet Sweet- briar for two games on the home court.

Barter Theater Returns To Madison's Campus

The next lyceum number that is coming to Madison College is the Bar- ter Theater which will be here Friday, March 2 at 8:06 p. m. The produc- tion is "The Heiress" and is directed by Robert Porterfield. The cast in- cludes Peter Pagan, Elizabeth Wilson, Rex Parkington, Barbara Van Ornam, arid Patricia O'Connell. Seats may be reserved through Mr. Gibbon's of- fice. Tickets may be purchased there also for those who do not have lyceum tickets.

from the Orient and Pagan Temple Priest.

One of the greatest feats that Tar- bell has mastered is that of taping his eyes, then blind folding them wit)*

heavy dark cloth and telling you about an object, figure, or even rea^' ing a paper without an assistant. While in Honolula, Tarbell was front page news for five days. He drove through the busy streets of the city blind folded with the skill and care of an expert driver. *

Dr. Tarbell has mystified audiences the world over and promises to be a very entertaining and educational speaker on our campus. Lowell Thomas enthusiastically says of this magician, "I have seen strange myster- ies around the world, but for real mystery I could sit at Dr. Tarbell's feet all night."

Leading the Sophomore Class this year have been Grace Matz, president; Juanita Cocke, Vice-president; Peggy Archibald, secretary; Gloria Pingley, treasurer; Jane Moulse, sergeant-at- arms; and Betty McFarland, reporter. The class has as its sponsors Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Dingledine and their three children are mascots.

Fitting the theme, Magic Lamp Land, into the mysteries of Tarbells, the class takes us back to,the fantasy and mysteries of our childhood. As a hint of what to expect the class night program will feature pixies and lepre- chauns for entertainment and hilarity.

Credit for their help with prepara- tions for class day go to the commit- tee chairmen: Zell Hartzel, Barbara Vavfek, Betty Lou Walters, Sue Tur- ner, Dot Harris, Jane Moulse, Joyce Bane, and Joan Gilbert.

"Our future welfare is in the hands of the voters. Do your duty as free citizens. Vote on ejection day." President Harry S. Truman.

These words of our president might well be applied here on campus at this time. Tuesday is our election day. And it is our duty as Madison citizens to. cast our vote for the candidate of our choice.

Here, every student is qualified to vote; there are no restrictions. A fact for each of us to re- member as we approach Tuesday's election is that each vote is important. Without a good turn-out at the polls, the election well not be true representation of the wishes of the students.

Just as the future welfare of the nation is in tfe hands of the voters, so the welfare of our campus is in the hands of the students. Each of us is just as responsible for the success of campus life next year, led by the major officers, as will be the persons who we think most capable of filling the position is elected. If we do not vote, we will not be doing our duty as campus citizens. Neither will we be justified in making any comments next year if any mistakes should be made.

The thing to do is vote! Go to the polls Tues- day ! It will only take 'a minute to mark our ballot and we will have, the satisfaction of knowing that we have done our duty.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CETTER TO THE EDITOR

Faculty Advisor •DR. GLENN C. SMITH

Are You A Murderer? "Ouch! Ouch!" If we listen carefully we can hear millions of

little grass blades crying out all over the campus. Daily we have seen the small blades trampled

into non-existance. Students as well as members of the college staff are guilty of murder; the murder of grass.

Blades of grass from below Spotswood to Ash- by, from the sorority houses to Junior, and from Senior ty main street meet a tragic death daily. At the corners of the sidewalks in front of Ashby, Spotswood and other similar places, seedlings are never allowed to grow.

When we think of "cutting" campus remem- ber the pains we will cause young grass! Do we want to be accused of murder? Do we want our campus to be green with no brown patches to mar its appearance? K. E. C.

Destination— Unknoypn Why must upperclassmen sign out for a definite

destination in order to go night riding? ' As long as this is the rule juniors and seniors

will continue to sign out for Staunton, Elkton, or Bridgewater on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights. The rule is stated in the handbook: -"They may sign out for riding to a specific out-of-town destination on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. . . ." We may eventually reach the stated place, but just as often we don't. Why should we have to? This privilege of night riding is given to upperclassmen only; aren't we old enough to go out in an automobile for a ride without having some particular out-of-town place in mind? Certainly our behavior will be the same whether we're on the road to Staunton or on any other road.

We constantly talk about the Honor System and why it isn't stronger. How can we expect to have a strong system of honor when such rules are in force? It's pretty hard not to write down the name of some near-by town on a sign-out slip and then go for a ride, or head for some romantic spot. Many Madisonites are wearing engagement rings and fraternity pins, surely they weren't received en- route to Elkton! The horse and buggy days are over; driving an automobile requires at least one hand on the wheel. Isn't it better to "park" than to endanger lives by careless driving? Should we sign out for the cemetery, Silver Lake, or some other secluded spot? This would be like living in a goldfish bowl; even college students need privacy sometimes! Many of us don't even plan to park, but

Dear Editor, There is absolutely no doubt in my mind as to the deeply

respected and dearly cherished meaning held by every student at Madison College concerning the idea of honor on this campus. Our Honor System slowly, but thorough- ly, finds its way into the hearts of freshmen, and there it lives and grows throughout four years of college life, making those years happy ones, full of confidence in ourselves and in others, and at the same time, laying a firm foundation on which to base and build personal sta'ndards and principles for our future lives so that they may be well-rounded and secure.

However, we know only too .well that nothing is infallible, and the Honor System at Madison is no ex- ception. We have to face facts—there will be times when the system will be violated, and it is only then' that there is opportunity for a true test of our honor.' It is extremely easy to talk about the procedure to be followed if a violation were to arise but what will actual- ly be done in such a case Is a different story, and it is this phase with which we are so deeply concerned at the present. If our system is going to work effectively in dealing with violations through the help and guid- ance of the Honor Council, then student co-operation of the highest degree will be necessary. It is impossible to adequately stress the importance of prompt, efficient action on the part of the student body in reporting im- mediately all the details in regard to a violation. This is the one and only way in which our system can truly fulfill its desired duty.

I cannot help but feel that our Honor System will continue always to be a living ideal which every student will strive to maintain at this college, for, in our hearts, each of us holds sacred his or her1 own conception of moral principles and the idea of right or wrong as well as^of Jhe very essence of living in a group. The result- individual honor blending into something big and won- derful—an Honor System that works, and it works be- cause of the support given it, not by a few, but by every student at Madison. As with everything else, occasion- ally we become lax, arid then it seems that the very ideal itself is gone, but it is never really gone, and since "A word to the wise is sufficient," nothing more need be said in respect to our Honor System. Student co- operation at its best is inevitable!

Hiwana Cupp

merely to enjoy a leisurely ride, with ho destination in mind.

We realize that the school is responsible for us, but what is to be gained by writing a name on a slip? Surely, if an emergency were to arise, they wouldn't be able to reach us by calling Staunton or some other town; the towns may be small, but not that small! Our parents sign permission cards in the fall; we have their approval.

If there were fewer rules just "asking to be broken" perhaps our Honor System would be stronger. '

Dear Editor:

On campus honesty and upright- ness are maintained by our Honor System. Just as any system needs an executive body to guide the overall organization, to make plans and to carry out the ideals of the larger group, so does our Honor System. This representative body is the Honor Council, made up of those persons who have been chosen for their char- acter and high ideals. The larger group, the Honor System as a unit, is composed of the entire student body.

It is generally recognized that group living cannot be effective and whole- some without certain rules and regula- tions governing conduct of individuals. Every place where people live together such rules may be found. But rules cannot be effective anywhere if there is not a spirit of Cooperation. Regula- tions are set up in the interest of the majority, and never more than a small minority must be reminded that they exist. About five years ago the Honor System was created here at Madison by the students to promote high ideals of moral soundness. The full coopera- tion of every member is needed if the System is. to function successfully. Any group is only as strong as its members; our Honor System is only as efficient as the student body makes it.

In these times of tension and general unrest, it is even more important than ever before that every person on our campus feel his responsibility in main- taining high ideals in personal and group living. In our daily relation- ships with one another we can prac- tice honesty, fair play, and straight- forwardness. This enables us to grow individually in personal integrity, which is something that we as indi- viduals have to create and develop

within ourselves. We will not only

profit now, but will carry with us

standards of good citizenship when

we leave college. The experience of

living together in a college community

such as ours, with a sense of mutual

integrity, trust, and honor will help

us to be better members of other

communities when our college days

are over..

The Honor Council is a body which

is organized not to punish individuals,

but to protect and serve all of us.

If this is to be done, every student

must uphold the system, and coopera-

tion must exist not only between in-

dividual students, and between the

Council and the student body, but also

between the students and the faculty.

Something To Chat About . . .

by Bess Bryant

Starting the week off with a roar, the faculty and men students met in an adventuresome game of basketball on Monday night! Students and fac- ulty seemed to get much wholesome enjoyment from the affair, long to be remembered! We've heard that a baseball game might be proposed in the spring. What about it?

tried, to get more students to cast their ballots. Someone will be out- side each dormitory from one to six on Tuesday afternoon so that students may vote there.

There'll be no excuse for not voting this year!

Did you ever see Harrison Hall de- corated so completely? Candidates and campaign workers were up early (and we do mean early!) on Thurs- day to get the best places for their posters, banners and such! I remem- ber last year and boy, am I glad I don't have to go through that again! (Never did like to get up early!) -

Congratulations to the thirteen can- didates who are nominees for the sue major offices on campus.

As election day approaches it must be realized that all cannot come out a winner. There must be a loser. Yet, do not forget that to be among the chosen thirteen is an honor, in itself and that Madison sportsmanship should be cherished.

'On The Boardwalk In Atlantic City9

by Jean Douglas Off to Atlantic City!—yes, it was

on the warm (sunny morning of Wed- nesday, February 14, that a small band of travelers set out for the "land of honeymooners," on the coast of New Jersey to attend a regional convention of Kappa Delta Pi. Colleen Calvert, Rosey Leonard, Kitty Cover, and I, as well as Mr. Alfred Eagle, werff-in the best of spirits as we said farewell to Harrisonburg at 8:00 that morning and hoped for the best results from that '40 Chevrolet that had been willed us by the college.

The trip, which included a stop in Baltimore for lunch as well as a ferry boat ride, was wonderful with no bad

, luck at .all. However, we were all rather glad when we finally saw the lights of Atlantic City that evening about 5:30.

We talked excitedly as we drove through the city about the sights we just had to see, but even more thrilled were we when the porter showed us our rooms located on the sixth floor of the Madison Hotel.

After freshening up a bit, Mr. Eagle took us out to a "seafood lover's para- dise," known as Captain Starns. The location of this home of seafood along the water front as well as the general atmosphere created by decorations in- side and the receptionists dressed as shipmates gave added flavor to our combination platters of fish, oysters, shrimp, etc, etc, etc.

Thursday, the day of convention, began with an early breakfast followed by a little shopping. By the way, the four of us are true women—every spare minute was spent in shopping

'and oh, those SALES! Registering was done between 9:00-

10:00 a. m. Then, the group, com- posed of approximately one hundred- four people representing twenty chap- ters, met for a general assembly in the solarium of the Madison Hotel, which was to be the headquarters of the whole convention. Group dis- cussions followed which .lasted until time for the luncheon. This meal fea- tured a well known speaker", Dr. George S. Counts from Teachers'1 College, Columbia University, t whose topic was "Understanding the Soviet Union and World Communism."

Group 'discussions convened at 2:00 p. m. ^Ve met again at 3:15 p. m. for another general assembly at which time group reports were given. The convention was closed by a talk pre- sented by Dr. Victor Noll, president of Kappa Delta Pi at Michigan State College, East Lansing, Michigan.

Perhaps the highlight of the day was the annual banquet which marked the fourtieth birthday of Kappa Delta Pi. Entertainment for the evening fea- tured Dr. Charles Spurgeon Johnson, president of Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, who spoke on "Education and the Cultural Crisis."

The Students' Voice

What Do You Prefer? we should have a variety in out mo- vies.

Joyce Garrett, freshman—Movies for the entertainment of the students should have a light, uncomplicated plot. I think that the movies about teen-agers were particularly entertain- ing.

Margaret Rae Koontz, freshman— I'm the brave type; I like scary mo- vies.

Recent Saturday night lyceum pro- grams have offered several types of motion pictures. Since the Saturday films play an important role in the week-end recreation of, a large portion of the student body and provide an entertainment medium for guests on campus, The Breeze would like to know what types of pictures the stu- dents find most entertaining and bene- ficial in the line of recreation. What type of pictures would you like to see on Saturday nights in the future?

^Jane Schneider, senior—Any variety that excludes horrow pictures or any- thing kin to them suits me because I find anything else entertaining. The movies we have had entertained me, so I'm satisfied. »

Dilcie Woodson, senior—I particu- larly like musical comedies, but I en- joy just about all of the types shown on campus. The only criticism I have is that sometimes our campus movies are of the same type for several conse- cutive weeks.

Sonia Dorson, sophomore—I like dramas; I think they are a wonder- ful source of entertainment, but keep them a little on the light side, please! No tear-jerkers for me!

"Let My People Go" is a painting of a partially nude Jew, clasping a book The lack of clothing symbolizes the persecution of his race; while the book represents cultural contributions.

Glenn Curtiss Smith's 1500-word re- view of THE PRICE OF SURVI- VAL (The Military Service Publish- ing Co., 1950) by Brigadier General Joseph B. Sweet, USA-Ret., appeared in the January, 1951 issue of the maga- zine MILITARY AFFAIRS. This is the official quarterly publication of

|the American Military Institute.

THE PRICE OF SURVIVAL at- tempts with considerable success to analyze two questions uppermost in the minds of thinking Americans: (1) how can the U.S. avert war with the U.S.S.R.? and (2) how can the U.S. survive war with the U.S.S.R.?

Grizzard Speaks* About Christianity And Communism

The main event of Religious Empha- sis Week was Wednesday chapel when Reverend R. S. Grizzard spoke on "Christianity and Communism." One of the points that Reverend Grizzard brought out was that the biggest op- ponent of Communism is the Christian church.

Mr. Grizzard also compared Chris- tianity and Communism. He said that Communism only offers to the world the equality of slavery and that it promises a great deal but delivers prac- tically nothing while Christianity of- fers Jesus Christ, Himself, and it exalts the importance of every individual.

Reverend Grizzard ended his talk by saying that Christianity,has given man something for which to live and that Christ is the conscience of the world.

Purcell Gives Talk On National Meet'

At the regular monthly meeting of Pi Omega Pi, held Tuesday night in Senior Hall, Lorene Purcell gave an informal talk on the national Pi Omega Pi convention which she attended dur- ing the Christmas holidays.

The national delegate conventions are held once every two years in some leading ' city. Hotel Cleveland, in Cleveland, Ohio, was the scene of the last one. Delegates represented chap- ters all over the United States.

Lorene, "as official delegate, talked to the group about the important points of business that were transacted and the work done' in committee meetings. She also told the members briefly of the social side of the convention and entertained them with some of 'her travel experiences.

Preceding the talk, a very import- ant business meeting was held.

lems that are facing the United States and her allies today. Discussions touched on the advisability of re- crossing the 38th parallel, whether or not to stay in Korea, the value of Nehru's position, the value of UN dis- cussions, the ultimate aim of U. S. foreign policy, diplomatic and econo- mic sanctions in regard to China, the basic results of U. S. aid to Asia, and Japan's new role in the Pacific.

In conclusion, the group favored the following By majority vote:

(1) All member-nations of the Unit- ed Nations should militarily support UN forces in Korea in an effort to counteract Red China's aggression. All diplomatic and economic sanctions afforded Red China shoufd be with- drawn. There' was some indication of favoring a definite statement of why we are in Korea, under what condi- tion's we'll leave, and what we want to accomplish there.

(2) A Pacific Pact of free nations, comparable to the Atlantic Pact, should be formed, and Japan should be included in some way.

All interested students and faculty members are urged to attend *ftie In- ternational Relations Club special pro- gram meeting Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 27 at 6:45 in Reed 14. Hilde Bretthauer, our German student on campus, will speak to the group.

Following this meeting, the next in the series will feature a talk by Rev. McCabe, who did intelligence work with the army during World War II.

Students Engage Faculty In m

Unforgettable Game Of Season

by Bess Bryant With bathrobes, pajamas, etc. hid-

ing their basketball uniforms, the

Madison Dukes ran out on the floor

of Reed Gym Monday night at 8

o'clock. The School Masters' Team,

composed of faculty men, followed their cheerleaders, "Peaches" Hartman and "Atom Bomb" Ulrich, onto the court amid roars of cheers!

Everyone seemed anxious to witness this meeting of students and faculty in what Dr. Jay Curtis later called "the greatest sporting event of the twentieth century!"

Scoring first was the students' team. When one of them later attempted fb* make a foul shot, however, "Dangling" Dingledine rushed in to guard but was urged back by Umpire Ken Fritz. The shock must have caused "Twinkletoes" Keller to miss! "Tanglefoot" Poin- dexter throws to the wrong team, thus giving the students the ball again.

"We want Shawver!" yell the spec- tators from the balcony. So they got

"Fumblefist" Shawver plus other sub- stitutes during a time out.

Dick Johnston was at the mike giv- ing comments on the game's progress when "Dangling," fainted. Dr. Unity Monger, all ready to go into action, rushed to his side but "Dribble" War- ren was already there, splashing water in his face from a hot^water bottle!

"Peaches" and ''AtonvBortib" were on the floor at all times. *-0

At the quarter, cokes were served to the faculty team on the court. Stu-

dents ran to a water bucket in the middle of the floor and on their hands and knees, used soda straws to get a drink..

Second quarter brought more thrills, with "Butterfingers" Grabner scoring on a foul shot for the School Masters. In the midst of the playing, "Dribble" Warren brought in a telegram to Mr. G. Tyler Miller. Very seriously Mr. Miller read the message which warned of a basketball scandal and the fear that some of the faculty might have accepted a bribe to throw the game! "I only hope that the State Board of Education doesn't hear about it," stat- ed Mr. Miller. Just then he received a telegram from the highest educational authorities in the state demanding an investigation of the impending scan- dal. To add more hilarity to the sit- uation, a police officer entered with warrants for L. B. Schubert and Ray- mond Poindexter.

"Feint" Leigh and "Lay Up" Lahaie scored as the game resumed. ' Per- haps they had gotten the needed en- couragement from Dr. Mary Larimer's provocative voice over the mike!

"Fumblefist" Shawver passed out! A screaming siren heralded the arri- val of an ambulance. "Fumblefist" was laid gently on a stretcher with Dr. Monger getting a free ride with him.

Even with sick players on the floor and two basketballs, the School Mas- ters were unable to score as often as the students. What the exact score was is not easy to say! The faculty cheer leaders did a sly job of "fix- ing."

Highlighting the second half was a long shot by "Curly" Boskey, clad in a long Notre Dame shirt. He had a realistic hump on his back to help in his disguise as the "Hunchback."

But even that long shot didn't satis- fy the School Masters! "Tanglefoot"

tried some qf his famous holds but

"fouled them up." Desperately, "Shuf- fles" Schubert climbed to the tpp of a ladder (placed beside the faculty bas- ket). When his teammates thew the ball to him, he nonchalantly dropped it through to score!

The final score erroneously read 33 to 33! It was really a tie, for the antics of the faculty certainly matched the playing of the Madison men stu- dents. Remember that snake dance some of the most distinguished faculty members did at the half? In it we saw not only the Dean of the College but the President as well I Dr. Curtis said so fittingly from his station at the mike, "Nothing can top that!"

Oyer fifty dollars was collected in a free-will offering for the Infantile Paralysis Fund!

Other members of the teams were: "Buckets" Davis, "Hot Shot" Huff- man, "Snatch" Eagle, "Molasses" Hicks, and "Mimbles" McCabe.

For the students: "Stumblefoot" Rhodes, "Muscles" Miller, "Prettyboy" Sullivan, "Baldy" Fritz, "The Voice" Jeavons, "Deadeye" Dedrick, "Lover Boy" B,a1cer, "Goose" Knight, "Shut- ter" Mattox, "Bubbles" Long, and "Bones" Bowman.

The girls in a gym class at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, found themselves in hot \vater awhile back. Eager to try out the swimming pool after the installation of a new boiler, the girls dived in and came up scream- ing. It seems that the temperature of the water had been set at 110 de- grees by mistake.

Placement Service Moves To Reed

Attention of seniors is called to the

placement fervice the college main-

tains, free of charge, to assist students

in securing desirable positions. Ar-

rangements are made for students to

have interviews with prospective em- ployers. Employers are kept inform- ed about students who are seeking employment in any particular location.

In order that the work of the place- ment office- can be made more effec- tive, seniors arc asked to cooperate by supply the office with their credentials as soon as possible. Forms can be secured at any time from the placement office. Since many employers write for credentials after students are grad- uated, it is very important that all four-year graduates cooperate by sup- plying information about themselves.

Beginning Monday, February 26, the placement work will be transferred from Dean Gifford's office to Mr. Eagle's office in Reed Hall. Mr. Eagle has suggested that those seniors, who have not yet filled out credential forms, attend to the matter before the Easter holidays.

Seniors are requested to watch the bulletin boards in the post office lobby and in the hall adjacent to the Guid- ance offices for announcements of visits by superintendents of schools and other employers. Students who desire interviews with ' employers should notify Mrs. Kline, at Mr. Eagle's office. *'
