As Longwood expands, nru buildings go up. The ten slory dorms are scheduled for 1969 and 1970, and the Science Building will be completed June, 1968.

State Appropriates Funds For Varied Expansion Projects Listed below are the capital outlay projects (or biennia 1966-68 and 1968-70, as presented by Col. Carr.

Three new all-weather tennis courts were completed and accepted from the contractor in October, 1967. A new athletic field is presently under construction and will be completed by June 29, 1968.

Construction was initiated in May, 1S67, for a one-story addition to the

rear of the Stevens Science Building and an octagonal lecture hall on the side of the building. Construction should be completed in June, 1968, and the building equipped for use in September, 1968.

^ondon Graphica Arts Exhibits it

Original Prints On LC Campus A quality exhibition of original graphic art comprising etchings, lithographs, woodcuts and silkscreens of important and outstanding artists were on view and for sale in the Main Lobby of Lancaster Library, Longwood College, on Wednesday, March 27, 1968.

For over a year now, London Graphica Arts has been visiting universities and colleges throughout America and England, mounting exhibitions of original prints of a range and quality usually seen only in major galleries. The enthusiastic response has fully justified its aim of bringing fine graphic work to a nationwide audience. Students and faculty, especially, appreciate the opportunity to view a comprehensive selection of original works.

The exhibition includes every form of print making from hand-printed manuscript pages and music sheets, 18th and 19th century prints from Europe, and a comprehensive selection of 20th century artists. Selections include such artists as Renoir, Degas, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Chagall, Vasarely and Giacometti, not to mention the more esoteric but equally important masters of printmaking. Rouault's "Miserere," Picasso's "Vollard Sbite" and Chagall's "Daphnis and Chloe" are all represented.

Finally, there is an exciting selection of colorful work by young contemporaries to attract those adventurous enough to patronize artists whose prices have not yet become inflated by fame and demand. The prices range from $10 to several thousand for the rarer examples.

The current boom in prints has aroused mornotu Intersil both In the art world and the prMfl, and many arttists today art' turning to printmaking, both to reach a wider audience and to answer the challenge of a fresh medium in which man) new techniquea have recently bttn <!

For til- (ttacrlntinatini collector, who aspires to aomethlnj I alter than

a reproduction, there are sound aesthetic and commercial reasons for buying original prints. It is possible to acquire a good example of the graphic work of major artists such as Picasso or Chagall for a fraction of the price charged for their paintings.

One should beware of buying art purely as an investment, as there is no guarantee that prices will rise. Nevertheless, important Picasso etchings that could be bought for under $100 ten years ago, are now selling for $1,000.

London Grafica Arts with galleries in Detroit, Michigan, New York and London, aims to show the best graphics available at any time as well as provide a succinct history of the development of the graphic arts.

Activities Building. This complex will consist of two buildings initially, a music department building and an art department building. It is anticipated that construction on these buildings will be initiated July 1, 1968, and completed in the summer of 1969.

A few years ago the lower level of the old laundry building was converted into a dance studio. Two new improvements, which will be initiated in June, 1968, will provide for an inside stairway to the upper level and renovation of the upper level into physical education department faculty offices. It is anticipated that this project will be completed by September, 1968.

The Post Office Building will be renovated in the summer of 1968.

The basement level upon completion will provide space for our automatic data processing center, a service center with duplicating and mailing capability, and office space for the Director of the Physical Plant and part of his staff. The first floor will be renovated so that it can be used as a language department for the 1968-69 academic year and be converted in the summer of 1969 for the offices of the Business Manager and Treasurer.

The first and second floors of Student Building will be renovated beginning in June, 1969, to convert the organization meeting rooms into dormitory rooms for additional students. All student organizations liave been provided with meeting rooms in the new Lankford Student Activities Building.

The architect is currently preparing the working drawings for a tenstory dormitory which will house approximately 400 students. This dormitory will be located on South Main Street. The land for the dormitory site has been acquired, and the dwellings are being razed to make way for an expected construction date of June, 1968. Occupancy date for this dormitory is September, 1969.

A twin dormitory to the 1969 Dormitory will be constructed for occupancy in September, 1970. These two dormitories will be connected by a beautiful one-story Commons Rooms.

The students who are presently housed on the second and third floors of Ruffner will be displaced to the 1969 Dormitory. In the summer of 1969 the fn >t and second floors of Ruffner will be renovated to house the Increased administrative offices. The third floor will be renovated for the foreign language department, classrooms and fa< e.

Preliminary plans for construction of an east entrance to the 'lining liall baeo l| i roved by the Governor's Office; and when funds become avail-

able in the new fiscal year, the architect will start preparation of the working drawings in hopes that the construction may be initiated in the summer of 1969.

At the present time there is an enclosed entrance and waiting room on the west side of the dining hall, and the new plans call for a like entrance and waiting room on the east side of the dining hall.

Funds were provided by the 1966 General Assembly for construction of a laboratory school. During the basic planning stages it was determined that the available funds were not sufficient to construct the facility that was required. The 1968 General Assembly has approved a request for an increase in the funds, and when they become available the architect will begin his planning. It is envisioned that planning and construction can be accomplished for a school opening in September, 1970. Present plans indicate that the school will provide facilities for kindergarten through grade 7.

An architect has been employed to prepare plans for the renovation of Longwood House. It is anticipated that the renovation would start in the summer of 1968, and be completed by Christmas. When the President's Home on High Street is vacated, the College will perform necessary repairs so that the Alumnae Association can move from its present house by Founder's Day, 1969. The state architect and engineers have cited a renovation cost in the vicinity of $150,000 for the present Alumnae House. In addition,

they have cited that some areas of the house are a safety hazard. The Governor's Art Commission has stipulated that the Alumnae House must be removed as it detracts from the surrounding buildings.

Mr. Longwood-A New Tradition Dr Robert Brumfield summed it up nicely when he praised the "first annual" A/.r Longwood Contest as a true display of congeniality and cooperation between students and faculty It was that and more The faculty members who participated are to be commended for their sportsmanship, courage, and interest Their willmqness to put aside the "professor image" temporarily, and in general "ham it up," was enthusiastically received by the audience.

But the bulk of the credit belongs, of course, to the Sophomore Class The show was excellently presented, revealing that a lot of hard work and planning went into it. In particular, they exhibited superb creativity in conceiving the originial idea, and in carrying it out Student support, too, wos tremendous The audience was not only large, but also enthusiastic and appreciative.

In short, the "Mr Longwood" idea was a terrific one. The students enioyed it, and apparently so did the teachers The first Mr. Longwood Contest went over big, and we'd like to see it looked back upon as the "first annual" contest. Anything that can exhibit such good will between faculty and student body deserves to be carried on as an honored tradition.

Avoid Spring Fever Do not let Spring fake you out' (Hopefully you have not contacted Spring Fever yet.) Spring is only temporary, then Summer overpowers it. You only need stamina to survive Spring Fever.

Statistics prove that 99 44/100% of all students flunk out of college due to Spring' Spring seems to affect the brain, causing boredom If the student has an overdose of Spring, brain damage results.

The student forgets that he has twelve tests yet to take, four term papers to turn in, three proiects to present, classes to attend, and exams to live through Oh, disastrous Spring!

What is the solution to this problem3 Avoid the roof, do not go out in the sunshine, stay in your room with the shades drawn and the door shut, and take vitamin pills. Spring is contagious, so avoid all persons who seem to have it' Spring is only temporary If you can live until Summer, you have overcome the mam obstacle in collegiate life — M. K M.

Letter To The Editoi Editor, The Rotunda: With the arrival of sunny days more and more girls have settled on the roof in bathing suits to try to get a deep tan. Unfortunately, many of us do not consider the permanent danger that can be done to our skin by overexposure to the sun.

The sun rays striking the roof cause a chemical reaction with the roof surface and the blankets which may permanently damage the skin. The skin is often baked and the pigment which can never be replaced may be burned out. In addition to being painful, burned pigment is also extremely unattractive. Many girls have been to the infirmary in the last week with severe sunburn and rashes from being out on the roof too long. There have been instances on campus of girls who have to wear long-sleeve blouses to cover their skin to preveoi sun poisoning after overexposure.

It seems that there could be a better place to sun bathe than the roof.

In all the improvements being made on campus, an enclosed grassy area for sunbathing could be constructed.

Our nurses and doctors have said that this area would be much healthier it would prevent the chemical reaction with the roof and there would be greater circulation of air which is noi blocked off by the walls of the roof. There could even be plans for in outdoor swimming pool as the school s larger and more improvements iic made. An outdoor pool would give i batter ur.i for sun bathing as well as provide for outdoor recreation. It

is up to the students to demand a better place for lying in the sun than the roof. If we do not care about our health, it is rather silly to expect anyone else to.

It seems surprising that girls who are considered to be adults would show such poor judgment concerning their health as some Longwood girls do.

Going up on the roof for three hours on the first day is not a very intelligent way to get tanned. The most sensible thing to do is to go out for a short time on the first day and to increase the time each day. Due to lack of judgment in sun bathing, many girls will never be able to get in the sun again.

Editor, The Rotunda: I wish to thank Ida Simmons for her kind letter which appeared in the Rotunda two weeks ago. I want to acknowledge, however, that I do not deserve all the credit that she has given me for the cartoons. Most of the ideas for the ones I have drawn thus far have been those of friends who have been kind enough to help me out.

Henceforth I will give these people the credit they deserve.

Again, many thanks to Ida. I am glad she has liked my cartoons. I hope that I can live up to the compliment she paid me.

Sincerely, Susan Davenport

Longwood was represented by three delegates at the 44th annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention at Columbia University in New York City on March 14-16. Brenda Holly represented the "Gyre," and Jill Randolph and Sharon Brown were delegates from the "Virginian." The convention, which was the largest convention of editors in the world, was attended by over 5,000 students from throughout the eastern United States.

Professional journalists and outstanding members of the publication field were the featured speakers at the general meetings and at the concluding CSPA luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom.

All phases of writing, editing and publishing of student publications were covered in the convention, which had as its overall theme, "Effective Writing - Key to Good Publications." More than 150 meetings, conferences, and discussions were offered during the three-day period tor student editors of newspapers, yearbooks, and literary magazines. Authorities in the school newspaper and magazine field conducted clinics and answered questions concerning the strong and weak points of student journalism. Special forumsand round-table discussions were held on the latest trends and best ways for improving student publications.

Spring Draws Students Outdoors, Campus Beautification In Progress

By LIBBA BALL Our first full week of spring is coming to a close. Looking back over the past winter months, we can see a remarkable difference in campus "life," not only in the students, but also in the look of Longwood's landscape.

This needs full explanation. The girls seem more "alive," in the same respect as the grass, trees, and shrubs begin to break through winter's mask with lively blossoms and fragrances.

A walk from Cox to Stevens marks the advent of discovering several cardinals flitting from tree-top to window sill. As you walk toward North Cunningham, you may notice the mockingbird imitating friendly chirps to his "on-the-move-to-class" audiences.

Have you noticed the number of sunburned faces and arms? Along with spring's return, we've been blessed with unusually warm temperatures just perfect for that pre-Easter tan.

For those of us who are planning trips to the beach over spring vacation, this weather will give us a head-start on a summer tan. Presently, the roof tops have had more girls between the 11-12 p.m. class period than the professors. One teacher, on a particularly bright afternoon, remarked to his 1:00 class, "Sorry to have interrupted your sun baths, girls, but.. ."

Have you noticed the increasingly small number of girls coming to the dining hall for lunch? This, too is a direct result of spring's arrival. With the return of the sunshine and high hopes for that trip to the beach, last year's bathing suit seems a little too tight for comfort; and begins the'daily-

diet-watchers' crew! These girls rush for the diet-colas, diet pills, Metrecal (wafers and milkshakes), and a number of other weight-losing aids. Then, besides skipping two to three meals a day (Ha!), the really eager beaver buys a quick salad, and finishes off her meal with ten laps in the swimming pool or a run on the hockey field. Yes, this is the season for activity!

The jumpsuits are back; "P.F. Flyers" have zoomed their way back to popularity, and sleeveless dresses from last summer have been rehemmed two to three inches to take on the '68 mini-look. One consolation about that weight you put on over the winter; at least you won't have to take your hems up! Now for the girl who can't squeeze into last summer's shorts. . .well. . . just throw on your old Muu-Muu or shift.

Bare feet have sped into hasty popularity as girls walk softly on the velvet grass. Last week we had our first cutting of the season. I had my window open when the mower passed, and the wind whirled in the smell of newly-trimmed greenery. It was so invigorating! I keep thinking of how "invigorating" it will seem to us this summer when we'll have to do our own cutting!

Those mosquitoes haven't forgotten what season it is, either. Not only do they swarm around in the good'ole outdoors, but a few lucky fellows managed to escape into the dorms at night and take toll on unwary sleepers.

One such victim recently complained of fourteen mosquito bites, (surely the work of more than one hearty "skeeter!") If you've readopted the

Dr. Ranson, Longwood Alumna The Coronation Edition of the Royal Blue Book has honored a Longwood graduate, Dr. Mary Kathleen Ranson, of Farmville, with the inclusion of her name. The book was published in London, England, in honor of the Coronation of the Shah of Iran.

Inclusion in the book represents international recognition, based on birth or accomplishments, or both.

Dr. Ranson is a leader in the field of education. She is currently a professor of education at Central Missouri State College; president-elect of the Missouri Association tor Childhood Education; and a member of the editorial board of the "Journal of Thought." She belongs to many honoraries, including, Kappa Delta Pi, international education honorary; Psi Chi, psychology honorary; Delta Kappa Gamma, experienced teachers hon-

habit of wearing sandals, beware of those between-the-toes blisters that form after the first few wearlngs.

Perhaps you could tape cotton to the thong for the first week or so to prevent irritation.

As we walk beside the forsythia hedge, now in full bloom, we can anticipate the beauty of the soon to blossom cherry tree and campus crabapple. (Not a teacher!) Over spring break, notice the camellias, azaleas, dogwood, and daffodils at home or in your community. Wouldn't a fe\| of these help make our campus -n more beautiful for spring visitor's?

Natural beauty plays an important role in America, and with the recent "White House Emphasis" on beautification.

I'd like to see Longwood's campus join in our national effort. Plans are already underway tor planting greenery in front of Cox dorm. Let's spring into action, and make March 21st through June 21st the most prosperous time of our year!

Synchronized Swimming Describes Water Show

By JANET HARMON Those of you who viewed the production of "It's A Child's World" presented by the H20 Club and Corkettes last week could not have been disappointed. The girls did a splendid job and amazed many spectators with their accomplished feats in the water. Saturday night the spectators' side was packed as students, faculty, administration, parents, and friends turned out to witness the event.

Before each number began, the lights were dimmed and a narrator introduced the number with a brief explanation and list of the names of the participants. As the lights came on and the music began, the swimmers, all decked out in colorful costume, as-

Low Back Pain Promptly Relieves Pain So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and You're Back Into Action

With Exposed Color — who specialize in back troubles report most aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doctors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin* Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this medication than any other leading tablet.

Anacin is a special fortified 'ormula. It promptly relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so releases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with greater ease.

Their vivacious smiles and synchronized strokes thrilled and awed the audience. It was quite evident that a lot of practicing and hard work had gone into the planning of this year's annual water show.

Elinor Umbdenstock and Stephanie DuRoss are to be commended for their hard work as co-chairmen of the show.
