The Philosophy Club has been organized and developed by the Students themselves. It was organised In 1936 by Jenney Wilson, Blanche Doswell. Mabel Barrett, Loulle Shose, all of Richmond and Lquise Hcndrlcks of Long Island, Virginia The aims of the Club have been modified somewhat In response to the growth and expansion of the College. But In general the organization serves two purposes. Plrst, It gives some recognition to that very limited number of students who demonstrate unusual capacity, interest, and effort In the critical study of the conceptions, beliefs, and values that control the lives of us all. The organization thus rewards In some small measure certain unique Intellectual qualities that are too often overlooked by our schools and colleges. Second, the Philosophy Club provides a means by which students, who are Interested In those Issues of human life that have aways challenged the attention of Intellectual leaders, may share their experiences with one another and with members of the faculty and other Invited guests who are Interested In the same problems New members of the Philosophy Club will be honored at a banquet to be held In the college tea room on Thursday night This club has recently been reorganized on campus, and new members taken In

Red Hearts, Red Bows Decorate Many Valentines Entwined hearts and sophisticated little cupids in big red bows are hanging around again, the aromatlcs spirits of amour are in the air, and aw, gosh, will you be my valentine? Well, if its kissing you've been missing, the stage Is set. the music is soft, and now's the time to do something about it. After all, who could resist the perfume and dew-drops of the real old-fashioned lace and bleedingheart valentine? You must, of course, use great care in the selection thereof. There are expressions of the passion In many moods, and the wrong selection—either too fast or too slow—can be disastrous.

If you're pretty certain that the object of your affections Is as far gone along the path of star-dust and moonbeams as yourself, then you are safe In those super-glamorous big and red hearts, dripping lace and deathless affection. Por example, this one Is really potent —It can't, that Is to say, go wrong: "Wherever I go.

Wherever I be, You're the only one In the world for me!"

You see? Oh this: "My love for you Will ever flow,

Like lasses down A tater row," Then there are those more or less In the experimental line, for the bashful, backward characters who have done nothing more than duck their heads and blush sweetly as you passed by. A little push in the right direction may be all they need—like this: "Dearest William, sweetest BlUy. Don't stand there and look so silly.

Show your heart, as I do mine.

When you receive this valentine."

For those who are not so particular WHO—Just throwing out a line, as It were, we have such as this; "I want to be somebody s darling.

Somebody's turtle dove.

Pray don't buy me diamonds.

All that I want Is love."

If It's the point you want to get across, without messing around with the frills, you might follow the example of the high school student, who minced no words with his student teacher. He presented her with a large creation bearing a Tarzan-llke hero, simply Continued on Page 4

Mardi Gras Ball Voice of Our Readers At the beginning of the current session in September a new plan iur Chapel was inaugurated.

Chapel attendance was made voluntary and the number of meetings reduced to three a week, on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The Chapel Committe with Dr. George W. Jeffers as chairman, has presented uniformly good procrams. The attendance has been disappointingly small, embarrassingly small at times when outside speakers have been with us.

It is good for us to meet together as a college community. It has been my hope that mature college students would absent themselves from Chapel only when there was some valid reason for being absent. I was entirely willing to leave this decision to the Judgment of each student.

Frankly I am distressed that In this attempt to place our assemblies on a sounder basis I have met with so little cooperation. It is imile to believe that Important business Is keeping two-thirds or three-fourths of the student body away from Chapel at a period when there are few other college duties scheduled.

We shall continue voluntary Chapel for the rest of this session. Attendance at each meeting will be e.-.timated and a decision

will be made for or against voluntary Chapel for 1947-48 Dr Dabney S. Lancaster, president Dear Editor: Write your grandmother, call your mother, get access to your next door neighbors closet right away If thoughts of all those dreamy lookin' men in their handsome tux isn't enough to give you that Mardi Gras urge then Just go look in Martin's window at the four lovely prizes.

There are two prizes for the prettiest costumes; the first is a rhinestone bracelet and the second a gold fllgreed bracelet set with rhinestones also. For the most original "get-up" <dare we say costume?! there is a pair of bronze book-ends, and red alligator wallet for the runner-up.

You get men. music, soft lights, masked magic, and maybe a prize all for the nominal sum of a ticket It's a bargain In these days of high livin' for anybody's two cents; and 'sides that It solves the problem and makes sure that this Saturday night won't be the loneliest night of the week after all. Therefore, see you all at the dance!

Sincerely.

On the Ball

Left Lead THE COLD WIND DOTH BLOW AND WE SHALL HAVE SNQW? The wishful hunters at Charlottesville last weekend will vouch for the fact that snow lay all about so deep they couldn't even set a hoof outside the stables for the hunt.

Miss Shields, May Wright and friends journeyed all the way up to the University Town only to have Ole' Man Winter clamp his icy hand over the countryside and -hake his hoary locks everytime anyone even whispered "Foxhunt". Charlottesville hath other charms than horses, however, so time was not wasted.

The bitter winds have prevented much "horsing around" to corn a phrase. The stables are having a hard time confining the unexercised horses. They, as well as us. will welcome a warm spell when they can stretch those stiff muscles and fill their lungs with "aire pura".

Here's to the spring!

A KUMOK TO NOTE Indeed we'd all be pleased if the rumor would materialize that Miss Shields is going to get three more good horses. We could really use them in the Spring Show, aside from everyday rides. Don't be surprised if you soon see three newcomers prancing the trails.

Next week will have more news.

Til then.

So you want to find a warm place, never let It be said that you can't get warmed up on the volley ball court or racing up and down the basketball court in a dignified scramble for the ball. If you are not keeping up with your eight practices, you should come down to the gym and catch up with your extra or additional practices. Don't forget to get in those last minute practices, because there will be strong competition during the inter-class games.

A varsity basketball player is not eligible to play on class teams, and so plenty of people are needed for the teams. The points for basketball and volleyball are ten points, and will be given to the class winning the games. This will help to bring up the total of points for the color cup. and every one is urged to work hard for the team. If you aren't playing on a class team, don't forget that you can still support your team by cheering for them at the games.

Listen to the annoucements for the date and time of these games

Page 3 and come down to support your players.

In all of these class games good sportsmanship is the greatest asset to your team, and so let's show our cooperation in every phase of the game. Here's wishing luck to the green and whites and red and whites. Dont forget the way to the gym, and let's stay In the game.

Ptng-Pong If you see someone running around the hall holding her head at an angle, she has without a doubt been watching a little white ball flip across the net. Ping-pong is a game of skill and endurance, and it Is fast becoming one of the

favorite American sports. If you have not given yourself a real chance to become a follower of thl> sport, get a friend and a couple of paddles and a ball, plus a net and a bit of enrgy and get into a fast Ramp, and I promise you that you will want to make Plng-Pong a habit.

Rhinestones Add Costume Sparkle

Observing Typical STC Audience Proves Better Than Picture

SPARKLE. SPARKLE, SPARKLE! That's you wearing your new rhinestone bracelet or clip. Yes. rhlnestones have gone to the head of the class In popularity. A sparkling choker or pin worn on black gives Just enough glitter to be smart.

No need for Richard to bother with the door when you (you sharpie) have your key with you!

There's no limit; Just let your Imagination go!

Valentines Exhibited In College Library Valentine's Day. which Is February 14, is being commemorated by an exhibit of valentines of the century in the college library.

The valentines were contributed by a member of the faculty. They include many types; some original and some of them commercial type. Among them are to be found big ones and little ones, some lacy and some plain. Each one has its particular sentiment of which there are both the printed professional type and the simple originals.

These valentines of the past which continue to the present should be of special interest to many on the campus who will learn that most of the ways for saying that same old thing have already been thought of.

The purpose of this exhibit is to reate more interest on the part of the students for the splendid collection of unused music books to be found In the library. Students are urged to make use of these and other informative books which are lying Idle on the shelves.

LYNN'S JEWELRY

Speaking of the movies, and somebody must have been, did you ever take any particular notice of ithe S. T. C. audiences? My goodness, If you haven't—what you've missed! Just take an afternoon when you don't especially want to see the picture anyway, and spend , It noting audience foibles. The general conversation upon enter' lng the theater Is most revealing of why people are there. For in| stance, the gal Is limp and bedraggled and very uninformed about the name of the story which she is about to see unfolded, the name of the cast—she doesnf even know whether Its Van Johnson or Peter Lone— and is In general, not at all In the spirit of things. She slinks furtively into an Inconspicuous seat on the back row. slides down onto the base of her skull and sits thus glumly throughout the picture. This girl has two tests tomorrow, has worried herself into I a state of nervous exhaustion, and has finally come to the movies for rest and relaxation, and another darn good excuse for not studying.

She Is positively certain that both of her test-professors are sitting one on either side.

Following her is her roommate.

Bright and cheery and full of high good humor, she chews contentedly on her popcorn. 8HE knows whats going on—SHE Just loves | the Bugs Bunny cartoon—SHE had HER two tests this morning.

She Is free as the winds that blow, 'and she fears the presence of no professor.

Close upon the heels of these :two there comes the girl with the I date. Her hair is combed, her nose is powdered, and she smugly tows ;her catch straight on down the aisle to the fourth of fifth row.

She has nothing on her mind even vaguely resembling tests—past or future. Happy, oh Happy, Is she.
