LYNCHNOS, the local honorary socity for mathematics and science majors, will sponsor a symposium about graduate school on Tuesday, November 11, in the A and B Rooms of Lankford Building from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. This honorary society has invited such faculty members as Mr. Jim Gussett, a member of the mathematics department, Mrs. Robert Woodburn and Dr. Elizabeth Etheridge. They are meeting to discuss problems centered on graduate school. Anyone who is planning to attend graduate school, anyone who is considering graduate school, or anyone who is even interested in graduate school should try to make an effort to attend this symposium in November. The members on the panel will be ready, willing, and anxious to answer all of your questions. Questions may be written down and deposited at the door of the A Room as you enter, or you may ask the panel your questions orally concerning the Graduate Record Examination, possible fellowships that are available, special grade requirements or allowances for graduate work and other provisions for the exam. So whether or not you are a math or science major or anyone interested you should come to this symposium to check the "scoop" on graduate school and its opportunities open for you. To go along with this symposium about graduate school, the Honor's Council would like to Inform the student body and the faculty about the graduate school's file which is located in the Honor's Council Room in the Lankford Building. This file is maintained for the convenience and use of anyone who is in anyway interested in graduate study. The Honor's Council is trying to keep this file as up-to-date as possible and they would appreciate any help or any suggestions in hopes of making this a worthwhile project

for the student body. If you would like to see a catalog which is not presently in the file, or if you have any critical comments or suggestions please see Mary Alice Elwang who is in Wheeler 324. Also included in the file will be information about financial aid that is available to students for graduate study. One final significant point to add is that any payment on Virginia State Teacher's Scholarship may be deferred for graduate study. Now is the time suggested for making plans for your graduate study.

Longwood Girls Represent Publications Staff At 45th Annual ACP Convention In Miami Five Longwood girls represented our Publications Staff in Miami, Florida October 31-November 2 at the 45th Annual Associated Collegiate Press Conference at the American Hotel. Libba Ball, Editor, and Susie Marsh, Managing Editor, represented the "Rotunda" Staff, and attended newspaper seminars while "Virginian" representatives Lois Wells and Barbara Blythe met in Yearbook personnel sessions. Louise Dougherty represented the Gyre staff. Some 1,500 delegates from all over the country, met to discuss current journalistic trends in workshops. They were greeted Thursday afternoon In the Sunshine state by a hurricane-style downpour, quoted by a Miami native as being "The worst weather we have had in 12 years." Thursday night's luau buffet sponsored by the Ford Motor Company highlighted registration, especially for those twenty-five journalists whose names were pulled at random in a raffel. They were given a month's expense paid ownership of a brand new Ford for testing and advertizement purposes. Unfortunately, our own publications representatives were not that lucky. Following dinner entertainment featured a Trinidad band and fire limbo exhibitions by native dancers. Friday's busy agenda included an advertising short course, a newspaper short course, layout and design discussions, Law and the Student Press, and a photography short course. Other areas of interest included Press censorship, offset printing, college magazine financing and employment opportunities for publication staffs. Aside from the fifty minute lecture sessions with prominent newspaper men and PMblllMm companies, our delegates found new ideas and techniques from informal'I i HI with

other campus delegates. MGM's "Good-bye Mr. Chips" starring Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark, the portrayal of James Hilton's unforgettable love story was presented before the ACP delegates for review and discussion Thursday afternoon from 3:30 to 7:30. Paramount pictures gave the ACP representatives a premier review of "The Sterile Cuckoo" starring Liza Miii. 11 i and Wendell Burton, Spotlighting Friday's theatre presentation was an open after-film discussion with director Allan J. Pakula, director of "Up the Down Staircase" and "To Kill A Mockingbird." The tender relationship which falters between two college freshmen relates a young couples struggle to find identity their first year away from home. Students should try to see this film. Two convention activities were offered for Friday night's entertainment. Delegates could choose between a Riverboat Cruise on the Biscayne Bay or a pop band dance and concert at the motel by the "Mystics," a favorite of the M idwest. Two members from Longwood's delegation purchased tickets for the cruise. The advertisement boasted entertainment by a Hawaiian band and floor show. The $13.50 ticket paid for an assortment of Polynesian food barely worth the money invested. A floor show and sword dance was performed on the lower deck. However, the staff representatives were leaning over the top railing wishing they could return to the hotel. Lectures and discussion groups continued Saturday from 10:15 to 12:30, followed by a student conference evaluation. Many newspapers, literary magazines and Yearbooks also received recognition at the Award's program. A special debate between newspaper editors and advisors from Mid-

land College in Freemont, Nebraska, centered around the issue of censorship in the College Press. Throughout the conference, numerous newspapers and Yearbook publishers opened displays presenting their ideas and creative designs to inquiring newspaper workers. The trend is moving toward gimmicks such as superimposed fade out prints, floating Dags, and creative advertising presentation. Although publications obligations required the staff representatives to attend the sessions, there was time left to sun-bathe and socialize. The Rotunda representatives roomed with the editor of the yearbook for Syracuse University, Patricia Orsins. Advice for those incoming publication representatives next year, "enJoy your trip, meet new people, come well prepared to learn new journalism techniques and exchange ideas. We guarantee a good time.
