Honor Bright . . . In less than a week the majority of the student body will be facing or have faced that cloud of college life—examinations. With examinations always arises the problem of honor -and the Longwood Honor (ode. What is dishonorable and what is not? The question always arises. Longwood students have long lived by the dictates of honor and honesty. The trust which the faCUlty( the administration, the stall' and the rest of the student body have in the honor of each individual is a precious thing. Few students want to lose it, but all students want to pass their examinations and their courses. And BO the question of what ll honorable arises. The senior for whom failure in one examination or one course means failure to graduate, the underclassman who must "make his grades" in order to return to LongWOOd next year, these are the ones who have the hardest decision to make. Is honor worth the personal and family disappointment of not graduating or not returning to school'.' Hut then the question can be reversed -is graduation or returning to College worth the sacrifice of honor which the handbook, and the conscience of the honorable person, terms "a person's most cherished posession'"'.' The question of what is honorable can never be solved for the individual with pat little ph'ases by another. The questions of honor are personal ones and they must be Solved personally. Next week will witness one of the major demonstrations of the Longwood Honor Code at work. You are on your honor— do your best by it.

Men Winning Battle Of Sexes.... During the past two weeks, interest on the LongWOOd campus has been aroused by the innovation of political campaigns. In their elections of a president for the Student Government Association, the men made sure that they were picking the very best from among their ranks to lead their government during the coming session. By the use of posters, handbills, and articles in the Kotunda, the three Candidates took their stand, and made public their qualifications for the office, and the platforms they would carry out if elected. I he Rotund;, has stood lirmly behind these campaigns, recognizing them as being the only sure wa> to attain the best in leadership. Not one member Of the male population at LongWOOd could have had any doubt as to whom and what he was voting for last Thursday and Friday. Although personal popularity inevitably creeps into any election held in as small a community as this campus, the choice of major officers should not rest solely on a personality factor. Too often is the past, however, the women's elections have had just such a basis. Students, especially the comparatively new freshmen, often knew little Ol the candidate except that she was "cute'' or had a winning personality.

by Lou Jawison To be a softball tournainenl or not to be. That is the question in the minds of our softball playei on the campus It seems that not enough girls have gotten in their eight practices to make up four class teams, and with exams only one week away the opportunity of scheduling more practices Is very doubtful. What's wrong with that usual exuberant school spirit, girls?
At the end of thr semester draws near, no doubt many of us are wondering what we'll do licit year without those athletes who are leaving us. We'll certainly miss you who have eiven us so miieh ..f our school spirit and who have made our athletic programs ponsible. May you continue in the Intnl.- to take life in the same fair, enthusiastic way Dial you have shown in athletics here. Best of everything—a 1-ongwood cirl deserve* it.

Who should arrive on the scene I In.-, wick to be dazzled by the spotlight other than ■ oute little wnior whose short, curly, blond hair makes her look just like a htle cupla doll. The bi|! blue eyes make the picture .msl right. Of course I hi major m ail ll vary important to her "cauae sinwants to leach it after she graduate! She i ot some praotloe for teaching by taUni it out on the poor little elementary uals and boys Hi.- first ami U I thia year. But fii'iirini', most important in the life of this .senior mlaa is a younr. man named "Itohla" who d . Hampdan - Sydney. In case you can't guess who I mean. Just find Uu <lark-haircd fellow I spoke of and the blond with him will be the girl In question. This senior is a member of Cotillion Club. H20. and Alpha Sigma Tau social sorority. During the past year she served on the Rolunda as author of "Pedro's Pocket," a view of Longwood life as seen through ||u' ajfil of her Mexican friend who visited the oampuB. In case you have any doubts M to whom we are describing, this week'l senior ha: | i.-riiflc store of jokes
Brownish hair, blue eyes, and the most appealing smile ever, describe perfectly this senior lass who steps into the spotlight. And her ways are as winning as her smile. She majored in business, but apparently became sidetracked cause she's going to teach in elementary school in the home town of Morrison next year. Teaching and business aren't all she's interested in: have you ever heard of the University of Virginia? So has she, and she likes It. This senior gal has served actively as president of House Council, Alpha Kappa Gamma, honorary fraternity, and the President's Council this year. She is also a member of Cotillion Club. B.S.U. Council. Student Standards, Student Government, and Alpha Sigma Alpha social sorority. Can you guess? I'll bet not. Anyway here's another clue: Although she may be wrong, she is always right.

Christine said that there are a few little girls who come down there to weigh twice every day. She figures that the walk is doing them a world of good. This season Christine and I hope that the college girls will lake extra precautions against poison oak, colds, dislocated knees, and food poisoning.
