Adams, AAUW Representative Visits Here

Will Be Guest on Campus Today and Tomorrow for Inspection of College

For the purpose of determining the rating of this institution as a representative of- the American Association of Teachers Colleges, D*. Katherine Rogers Adams, of Washington, chairman of the Nation- al Committee on Membership and Maintaining Standards of the A. A. U. W. arrived last night to spend today and tomorrow on campus.

Madison is one of the State Teach- ers Colleges recommended by the American Association of Teachers Colleges to be examined by the Amer- ican Association of University Wo- men in considering whether or not members of the A. A. T. C. will be admitted to the list of colleges and universities approved by the A. A. U. W. The findings of this committee will be presented at the National Meeting of the A. A .U. W., which will be held In June at Den- ver, Colorado.

The A. A. U. W. is primarily an association of liberal arts colleges for women with the purpose "to unite college women of the vicinity for work on educational, civic, and social problems of the community." Graduates of schools on the approved list are eligible for national membership in the organization while students with two full years of academic work are eligible for associate local membership. Of the colleges in the nation that are on the A.A.U.W. approved list, the five in the state of Virginia are: William and Mary, Hol- lins, Randolph-Macon Women's Col- lege, Sweetbriar, and Westhampton.

The Association is represented^ Harrisonburg by an active organization of forty members headed by Miss Feme R. Hoover, Assistant Li- brarian of the college.

Perfect Specimen

Students Give. Views on Professorial Paragon

Several weeks ago a teacher's de- scription of an ideal teacher was published. Now comes the other side of the story—the ideal teacher as sketched by students. This sketch is based on data secured by student polls in several Virginia colleges and universities.

The ideal teacher, according to these students, must have a thorough knowledge of his subject, a wealth of factual information, and he must organize, arrange, and present the material in such a way as to be clear and explicit. The Ideal teacher not only gives interesting lectures but also provides for the participation of the class. And believe it or not, he gives frequent, but fair and thorough,

students is friendly, courteous, soci- able, sympathetic, patient, and con- siderate. He has a sense of humor and a forceful, pleasing personality. Understanding students' needs, he willing to help students and to answer their questions. He has a pas- sionate desire to develop personality, to stimulate intellectual curiosity.

This Ideal teacher interprets the facts and skills he teaches in order to facilitate their adaptation to con- structive use.

May Day Plans Announced By Powell

Student Body Will Elect May Queen and Court at March Meeting

Plans for May Day got under way this week when the Athletic Associ- ation Council appointed the May Day Committee composed of Tish Holler, Billie Powell, Jean VanLandingham, and Eleanor Kash. Miss Marbut is faculty adviser. Individual commit- tees will be appointed next week and the election of the May Court will be held at the regular March student body meeting.

In past years according to A. A. officials, It has been almost impos- sible to induce a sufficiently large number of people to attend enough practices to put on a* fairly present- able May Day. Last year to cope with the situation it was decided that a theme would be used in which only a small number of characters would be necessary. The difficulty In this was that the majority of the spectators were unable to see. The campus is so arranged that it is hard to take care of the extremely large number of spectators.

The May Day Committee has decided to cope with these two factors: the lack of cooperation of the student body in general and the hoard of visitors who must see and be pleased, with an arrangement such that all dances, stunts, tumbling, and other performances will be done as class- work under the regular Physical Ed- ucation instructors, ihis work will be required thereby eliminating any tendency to miss practices. The May Day celebration will be held on the steps and two terraces in front of Wilson Hall. It is believed that this ^Tt^ion will enable the largest number of people to see.

Gift of Gab Public Speaking Class Enlightens Audience On Surgery, Dates

Members of Dr. Argus Tresldder's public speaking class acquainted the faculty and students during assembly Wednesday with the horrors of primi- tive surgery and modern dating. Mary P. Wright, speaking on the "Surgery of Dr. Hippocrates," de- scribed the elegant, but gruesome, instruments used by the ancient doc- tors. "A good stiff drink of wine was the nearest thing to an anesthetic," she said. "There was no specializa- tion; the same doctor to whom you would go to have a tooth pulled would treat you for bad bones, brains, eyes, ears, nose, and throat."

When Lois" "Burnett spoke on "Dates,' 'the audience was transport- ed from the horrors of tooth extract- ing and tonsil pulling to Madison College, where "every prospect pleases, and only man is vile," and where, when you have a date, you feel just as if you were at home in your own living room—with- all of your relatives present.

Professor John N. Mcllwraith con- cluded the hour with a serious note on George Washington. After sketch-

American Student Survey Shows Majority In Favor Of Sex Education J

(By Student Opinion Surveys of America)

Pictures Of College At World's Fair

Seven photographs of Madison College will be included in the volume on education, one of a series of volumes on all phases of Virginia life to be placed in the Virginia Room at the New York World's Fair, according to a recent statement by Pro- fessor Robert E. Slaughter, Publicity Director of the college. The photographs include views of Senior. Har- rison, Maury, Wilson. Reed, and Johnston HallB.

Austin, Texas, February 17.—Sex education should no longer be a matter to be whispered about, a large majority of American students believe. In fact, almost 62 per cent of them favor making courses on the principles of sex compulsory, a nation-wide study of the Student Opin- ion Surveys of America shows.

In summary, comments from col- legians everywhere sounded like this: "We have been prudish about this matter too long. Authoritative information has either been hidden or prohibited from young people."

Time has begun to change this at- titude, it would appear, for many colleges are now offering marriage courses. Students regard this an im- portant part of their education when they say they believe such instruction should even be made obligatory.

\

Interviewers have asked this question as a scientifically-defined cross-sec- tion from coast to coast: "Should sex education courses in colleges be made compulsory?"

Yes, say 61.9 per cent. ' No, say 38.1 per cent. Of the schools where the survey

was held, only about 10 per cent had required courses. Perhaps of some significance is the fact that the poll shows women in the South and West less in favor of the idea than women elsewhere in the nation. Men agree pretty well everywhere.

Speaking for the majority, a North Dakota State Teachers college junior said: "Sex education should have be gun back in high school—during adolescence." Some believe upper classmen only should receive Instruc- tion. A Baylor university medical

/

student would include personal hy- giene and causes and results of ve- nereal disease. However, there are many who believe all sex matters should be left to the parents, and a Northwestern co-ed declares, "You should go to your doctor for that information." In some colleges students say there is not enough room in the courses offered. Others favor voluntary courses only.

In America the movement toward sex education was begun in 1910 under the leadership of Dr. Prince A. Morrow. Sex education in its largest sense has been defined as that In- cluding scientific, social, ethical, and religious instruction and influence that may in some way, directly or indirectly, help young people to solve the sex problems that will inevitably be encountered by every person.

Dr. Duke Obtains State Approval On Housing

Dr. Samuel P. Duke, president of the college, returned yesterday from Richmond, where he attended a meeting of the State Board of Edu- cation and gained approval of his plans to make new housing accom- modations for students.

According to Dr. Duke, he has been authorized to proceed with plans for converting the southeast end of the basements of both Harrison Hall and Jackson Hall into dormitory rooms. The increased enrollment next year, as indicated by an early registration, has necessitated an increase in dormitory space.

The new library will be completed in August in order that the old library in Harrison Hall may be con- verted into new quarters for the School of Music. The left side of the room as one enters the door of the library will be made into a conserv- atory for music lessons, while, the other half will be divided into several sound-proof practice rooms.

Plans are being made for the fin- ishing of the fourth floor of Wilson Hall, where there will be three new class rooms.

Wunrich, Organist Plays Here April 2

Carl Wunrich, one of the greatest American organists today, will appear in an organ recital on Palm Sunday, April 2, in Wilson Audi- torium as the next Lyceum number.

Wunrich is the leading instructor of the organ at Westminster Choir College, and is also the head of the department at Wellesley College for Women.

THE BREEZE

What Price Honor ... Honor has been denned as "a sense of what is

right, just and true." No matter how high or low a person may rank in the scale of human conduct, his word of honor remains a sacred thing, jealously guarded, tenaciously preserved. No one would wil- lingly sacrifice personal honor under any conditions, for it is an ideal that governs more effectively than any law, and is held more dear than any human at- tribute or material possession. That such a concep- tion of honor is true has been, and always will be, verified by humanity itself.

We certainly think no differently in regard to the question of honor than does any other group of individuals. It means as much to us fundamentally as it has eve;- meant to anyone; and yet, unknow- ingly or otherwise, we violate our word of honor many times every day. Perhaps many of us are not fully aware of the fact that we are living under an honor system, but everyone of us at one time or another has signed the Student Government Pledge. Maybe we have never read the pledge through, un- doubtedly it has never been fully understood; but we have signed our names to a pledge that makes us virtual hypocrites during ajl our days in college.

These facts were brought into the open at a recent meeting of the Philosophy Club for the purpose of holding an open discussion on "The Honor System at Madison." Students present at that meeting faced the issue squarely, and every member of this student body must do the same if she expects to maintain her self-respect.

Here is the pledge that we sign first as a fresh- man and renew every year we return to Madison: "Having a clear understanding of the basis and spirit of the honor system, whereby our college life is governed, I pledge myself to uphold the regulations of Student Government, and to maintain in every way .the highest standard of personal Honor, and to accept my responsibility for helping others to live up to the high standard..." Just how many of us have even begun to live up to that pledge in every sense of the word ? In the first place the opening phrase makes a prevaricator out of most students. We haven't a clear understanding of the basis and spirit of the honor system—in most cases we haven't even the remotest idea. And yet we go on signing— why? The general impression has been that the pledge is compulsory, but a member of our Student Council asserts that it is not. Knowing that it is not compulsory and that no one endeavors to determine whether or not we have signed, how many of us will ever sign it again?

Can ypu honestly say that you uphold every reg- ulation of Student Government on this campus? If you can, you're a super-woman. Would you report

'your dormitory mates for owning radios, for studying in the hall after lights, for not signing up to go downtown? If you would, you'd be branded a stool-pigeon and be about as popular as a pop test the first period Monday morning; but if you don't you're violating the honor system.

Honor, as many of us see it, must be applied to basic, broad principles—not to countless minor rules and regulations. It must be a matter of personal responsibility, arising, developing, and culminating among the students. Once such an understandable Honor System is established, it will be a thing of pride, an ideal to cherish on this campus and its in- fraction will call.forth universal disapproval rather than commendation for "putting something oven"

The general impression seems to be that (1) we do not have an effective honor system, (2) that until broad, underlying principles are substituted for a number of regulations we won't have one, (3) that the student body should think it over seriously and act through the proper channels in an attempt to se- cure a real Honor System^one that is respected and upheld and (4) that we must prove ourselves worthy of such a system.

Is your honor worth that much effort?

Armament Race Accelerated

torial asking the faculty and student body of Mad- ison College to support the American Student Com- mittee Against Participation in Japanese Aggression by writing letters to their congressmen and enlisting their aid in the consideration of an embargo on all war materials to Japan.

An early answer to one of these letters came from Congressman A. Willis Robertson of the Seventh Virginia District. Quoting from the Congressional Record of February 3 in a speech in which he com-

Britain, Germany, France, United States Move to Strengthen Defenses

By Julia Ann Plohr

Although the Czechoslovakian cris- is of last September stopped short of immediate open warfare, it gave tremendous impetus to an already un- precedented armaments race. In the five years preceeding 1938 world ex- penditures for instruments of war leapt from $4,000,000,000 to $17,- 500,000,000—an increase of 340 per cent. And since Munich the prepara- tions have gone forward on a larger, more burdensome scale than ever before.

Great Britain, which has now the world's greatest navy, announced last week the proposed construction of six aircraft carriers and n^ne bat- tleships, building almost equal to that of Japan, Italy, and Germany combined. The British air force is to be strengthened with 650 military planes ordered from factories in the United States. Last week a bill was introduced in Parliament to increase the government's borrowing for arms over a five-year period to $4,000,000.

Germany, now possessing the world's greatest air armada, is gi\ ing attention to its navy, one-fourth as large as Great Britain's. On Tues- day, the 35,000-ton Bismark, the Reich's bfggest battleship, was launched foj* Adolph Hitler at Ham- burg. To facilitate naval protection Germany plans to double the width of the Kiel Canal, which joins th North and the Baltic Seas.

France succeeded last week in placing orders with American factories for 515 planes. However, the disturbance aroused In American political circles by this transaction has by no means subsided. The Sen- ate Military Affairs Committee is con- tinuing its investigation on a semi- secret basis.

The House of Representatives, by a vote of 367 to 15, passed a bill that authorized the construction of 5,500 planes for the army fleet, the training of pilots In civilian school, and the expenditure of $23,750,000 for the Improvement of the Panama Canal defenses. Yet, the United States has not attained full competition In the armaments race. Our people are contributing less than $10 apiece toward armaments each year, while the annual rate In Germany, Great Britain, and Soviet Russia Is

Roth String Quartet Well Received

By MARY J. WRIGHT

Distinguished by masterful technique in the manipulation of four beautifully blended stringed instruments, the Roth String Quartet presented a well received concert in Wilson Auditorium on Mon- ' day night as the second Lyceum number of the winter quarter. Composed of four Hungarian artists, Feri Roth, first violin and founder of the group; Jeno Antal, second violin; Fereno Molnar, viola; and Jonos Scholz, cello, the quartet showed a marked unity of spirit, temperament, and musical talent. The concert consisted of three selections especially written for string quartets and representing the best music of that type since the establishment of the string quartet in the latter part of the eighteenth century.

Representative of classicism was the Quartet in D Major by Hayden, founder of the string quartet as a type. The Allegretto movement was interestingly contrasted against the more somber tQnes of the Lar- go, while the allegro tempo was repeated, in the third movement, a Menuetto. Completing the group was a sprightly Presto movement.

Perhaps the most greatly appreciated number of the evening was the quartet by Debussy, an im- pressionist. The second of the first two movements, which were lively with a decided rhythm, was made more appealing by the manner in which the instruments were played without the use of bows. The Andantino, a pensive contrast to the former movements, was followed by a movement interesting in its own contrasts of restraint and intensity.

The final selection was the Quartet in C Major by Beethoven opening with an interesting Intro- duzione varying in tempo from Andante to Allegro. The note of merit in the second movement of the Beethoven quartet, typical of that composer's ro- manticism, was the marked rhythmic background of the cello. A gracefully regal Menuetto and a short, lively Allegro movement completed the concert which won prolonged applause from the audience.

Perfect harmony of the mellow background tones , of the cello and viola and the more agile violins were responsible for the success of the* evening's concert. The appreciative behavior of an audience not musi- cally educated should be noted as an excellent com mendation for the group.

The exodus would be led, over a period of three to five years, by 150,000 able-bodied men and single women between 15 and 45 years of age, classed as wage earn- ers. Another 250,000, their families and dependents, would emigrate as the first group became established abroad. Emigrants would- be allowed to remove their remaining posses- sions in the form of German manu- factured equipment, while those awaiting emigration could take Jobs and reopen businesses. One-fourth of the trust fund for the financing of the emigration would be taken from the existing Jewish wealth in Ger- many.

The American "good-neighbor" policy received a blow last week when Argentina announced that im- ports from the United States must balance Argentine exports to Amer- ica.

ments on the export of alleged war materials to Japan and other nations; "The real hue and cry about the exportation of war materials relates to Japan. In a comparable period in 1937 our exports to Japan amounted to $271,948,000 and in 1938 to $Jl 1,051,000 a decrease of $60,897,000, although as I have pre- viously pointed out, our total exports in 1938 were over $3,000,000,000 and Our favorable balance over $1,000,000,000. This along with the fact that the State Department has recently announced that our sales of war materials to China have been in excess of those to Japan, should be encouraging to those in sympathy with the Chinese«cause."

According to Congressman Robertson, "China, of course, could have automatically stopped the sale of war materials to Japan by declaring war on Japan, but was not willing to do so because that action would likewise have closed our markets to her."

On the other hand there is the opinion of Emory E. Smith, commissioner for the war industries board during the World War, who has addressed an "open letter" to the American people, warning them of what is happening to our basic material of defense.

According to an editorial in the Daily News- Record of February 13, "So vast have been our exports of scrap iron the last few years that Mr. Smith sees our own defense resources as virtually sabot- aged thereby."

We recall that the supply of scrap iron in the United States just before the armistice was so de- pleted that the government prepared to commandeer all iron and steel. After the war, this material was accumulated in this country to the point of security, until huge exports to Japan began a few years ago. It is a startling fact that, of the 12,000,000 tons of American scrap iron exported in the last five years, 7,500,000 tons, or almost two-thirds of the total, have gone to Japan.

It is well to open our eyes to this statement of Mr. Smith's letter: "Without American scrap iron —there would have been no Japanese-Chinese War and no bellicose European situation. A childish neutrality cloak has been used to serve our enemies and destroy our friends—and at the same time to strip our country of its natural war protection."

This thoughtless, selfish exportation, while it brings millions of dollars in foreign trade into our country, is nevertheless a potential and grave danger to the life, liberty, anfj^ happiness of the American people. M. J. W.

It's A Fact!

By Kathleen Estall A treatment that may prove life-

saving to "bleeders" and to patients undergoing surgical operations, has recently been reported. The sub- stance, which causes high-speed blood-clotting, is called thrombin. It is a gray-white powder obtained hy special chemical treatment of blood and heel lung, and may be dissolved in water.

Sprayed from an atomizer onto a profusely hleedlng wound in an ani- mal's liver, the material checks, the bleeding completely in five seconds or less. Blood normally takes from two to five minutes to clot.

What this speedy blood-clotting material will do for human patients who are bleeding dangerously remains to be seen after the scientists learn whether the material is sufficiently germ-free to be safe for human use.

The thrombin is not poisonous when used to control the oozing of blood from the surfaces of tissues ih surgical operations. When sprayed on such surfaces, a thin film of blood forms almost instantly and this seals the smaller blood vessels.

The scientists have been able to ^Tut out portions of the brains of ani- mals and to check the usual hemor- rhage by using this powerful sub- stance.

Bone and brain surgery should be especially helped by the new thrombin, if it proves applicable for human use.

Madison Meets Farmville At Eight Tonight

Traditional Game Will Offer Keen Competition and Speedy Flaying

ofte Meeting ofce of its strongest traditional competitors as well as a sextet that is rated superior in basketball skill, the purple and gold tossere will play their third home game with Farmville State Teachers College in Reed Gym tonight at 8 o'clock.

Chit of a total of 23 games between the two schools, Madison haB won 14 with a total number of 674 points for the local girls to 493 for Farm-

ville. According to Mrs. Johnston, the

Orchids (or should we say Talisman roses?) to the German Club on its successful coming-out party! The only fly in the ointment—and we can't call It that—was the be- yutiful weather, slightly inconsistent with the winter carnival theme. But it makes a young man's fancy . . .

Some people have all the luck— and we do mean the basketball team. They get a chance to go cosmopolitan in a big way in the frozen north, while we stay at home and keep the fires burning-—all because they can sink a ball in a basket!

We're quite flattered to hear that we have a "Public" as far away as Randolph-Macon. It's nice to know that somebody reads our column. Thank you! Are you listening, R.-M.C?

Maybe our public would be interested in knowing just which of the sister classes is the cuter. If we com- pare the number of girls who had their dates up for Sunday dinner following the Sophomore-Senior Cotil- lion, dances and the Freehman-Junior German dances, we will have to ad- mit that we are all on about the same par—with some individual excep- tions, of course. Considering the 47 dates in the dining hall last week- end as compared with the 45 after the Cotillion dances, it seems that a college education neither increases nor decreases your popularity.

Madison Sextet Bows to Stroudsburg 1619, But Defeats Salisbury 50-10

Fighting to the end, the Purple and Gold basketball sextet was handed a 19-16 defeat at the hands of the East Stroudsburg "White Ghosts" last Friday night on the latter's court in Pennsylvania. The game was eo close and exciting the whole way through that until the final whistle was blown the home team still had high hopes for a victory.

Ending the first quarter with a two-point lead and the score 4-2, the Purple and Gold was in front for the only time during the entire match. Keeping ahead by very slight margins, East Stroudsburg did not allow the local team to advance the score beyond them a single goal. In several attempts to roll up the points, the Madisonites tied the Pennsyl- vanians 12-12 and later 14->14 during the last quarter of the game, but a final wave of luck gave two baskets and a foul shot to the white team ending the contest in a 19-16 win for the Northerners.

Afterwards the members of the Stroudeburg squad were hostesses at an informal reception in the girls' dormitory at which hot chocolate and cookies were served.

Saturday's encounter with Salis- bury, Maryland, in Baltimore, proved less interesting, ending in an over- whelming victory for the Purple and Gold, 50-10. The score at the end
