Beorc Eh Thorn Presents Richard Halliburton Friday Night
Renowned Traveller Will Entertain With Adventures
On Friday evening, January 14. Beorc Eh Thorn will present the
well-known author, traveller, and lecturer, Richard
Halliburton.
Many students are familiar with Richard Halliburton's books from
his first. "The Royal Road to Romance", to his latest. "Seven
League Boots" in all of which he holds his readers' rapt attention.
Few girls have had the privilege of hearing him speak. Mr. Halli-
burton has accomplished so many feats of interest and daring that
his subject matter alone is suffi- cient to hold his
listeners.
The summer after his gradua- tion from Princeton. Richard
Halliburton heard the call to ad- venture and set forth for the
first time on the "royal road to ro- mance". Since then, it has led
him far and wide, but he has always followed it, whether to Mount
Kvc'irst or the wilds of Africa, and perhaps that's why he is
today, one of the mast widely traveled of the younger authors of
the age.
His escapades range from swim- ming in the moonlit pool before
India's Taj Mahal, to spending a night atop Mount Olympus. They
include a personal interview and dinner with Haile Selassie, the
viewing of the actual remains of Columbus, being imprisoned at the
Rock of Gibralter for making forbidden photographs, following
Hannibal's trail over the Alps on an elephant, the exploration of
the Acropolis and Parthenon by night, "most of his expeditions seem
to have been accompanied by moonlight I and many hair- breadth
escapes, besides countless other adventures of the type that people
always long to perform but never seem to have the chance or

February 15 Is Deadline for Annual Subscriptions
February 15 has been announc- ed by the "Vvginian" staff as the
deadline fo: subscriptions to the annual.
The engravers have completed about half of their work. The staff
has reported thai the annual is nearing completion. They would
appreciate any payments or sub- scriptions.
Since expense is so great for yearbook publication, a large num-
ber of subscriptions must be sold for the publication to be
complet- ed without a deficit. The annual has never been placed on
student
I fees because annual editors have thought the publication would be
little benefited by such a charge.
Last year the annual, edited by Virginia Baker, won excellent rat-
ing by the Associated Intercolle- giate Press. This year no group
picture had to be re-taken which is unusual. The rest of the work
of the staff centers around write-ups of individuals and
groups.
It is because the annual Is ex-

one of twelve most outstand- ing Virginians of the year 1937.
Incidentally. Miss Stubbs is the only woman among the twelve. She
was chosen because of her excellent course in the field of in-

Miss Stubbs is conducting a course on the Negro that has been
recognized throughout the South as a model type of instruction in
the field of interracial relations. What impressed authorities in
this field was the unvarnished realism with which the teacher in

Richard Halliburton By Mary H. Vaughan
Richard Halliburton is one of the most delightful lecturers you
have ever heard. He keeps an au- dience utterly fascinated while he
gestures wildly, talks briskly and describes vividly!
His words are the same vital adjectives that make his books full of
seat and buoyancy. He is etern- ally young. One could easily im-
agine his adored Taj Mahal get- ting old as Richard Halliburton. He
|a the very essence of vigor and "joie de vie". His seems to be—
"Youth—then- Is nothing in the world but youth!"
Halliburton is a slender, nice- looking chap who does not seem ill
at ease in his proper clothes but who seems never to let you foi '
1 thai he could wear improp- er garb and be not only at ease but
completely charming.
In the unaccented English of the truly educated. Halliburton noes
gayly from one edventura to another Actually his audience goes
through the adventures with him. Even the phsyical exertion seams
to take place in listening to this animated person.
He makes life as the ordinary 11 lives it seem dull and drab;
yet he oilers compensation 111 the fact that he Offers tUB books to

young gentleman who drove many miles in a very lovely auto- mobile

around five in the morning there was still no such song and she
gave up in utetr disgust and retired.
And now with humble apolo- dies for a lot of boring tripe I is- sue

GLEANINGS By
Virginia L. A gee
The Ne w Year was rung into this world twelve days ago—there were
loud whistles and gay bells and happy voices. To many,
! it meant the turning over of a new page in individual life—books.
Resolutions—strong and steady; ideals—high and beautiful: de-
termination—keen and unshaken: many claimed them when the year was
but a day old. Already more than a few persons have broken over,
and it's a very sorry scheme— yet harmful to none but themselves.
It not only shows lack of character, but a will as weak as water.
Resolutions are funny things—why make them only to break them ? 'T
were better to let them go, to make no false promises to oneself,
if in the end we say—"I didn't mean it anyway; I knew I'd break
over." Simple?—of course it is and a very easy thing to do. The
hard thing to do is to grit your teeth and stick by your previous
decision, come what may!
Seven months ago a serious war broke out in China when Japanese
troops at- tacked the latter with no official declara- tion of war.
Hardship, bitterness, unnatur- al death, panic, disease have walked
hand in hand with the vast population of China.
Japanese planes bombed the beauties of the ancient civilization:
dropped sudden death on non-combatants; irked the U. S. and Great
Britain. Japan has walked over international law by disregarding
neutral territory as was the case in Shanghai. She insulted the U.
S. government by deliber- ately bombing and sinking the Panay —
which resulted in the deaths of several U. S. citizens and
government employees.
It has been these things that Japan has marched through holding her
Rising Sun flag high in the air and turning half way around in her
march to apologize profusely for the insults she has been in the
the habit of throwing right and left.
• • •
China is tired—she has been tired for many years because of the
poverty of her people. She is exhausted now because of the strain
of war which may destroy what little peace and comfort she
struggled for. Her troops are seemingly broken in spite of her
inexhaustible man-supply; she re- treats and cries out.
Japan presses on—drunk with success and victory. Behind her she
leaves smoking towns, starving men and women, orphaned babies. She
stops at nothing. It is a shame!
• • •
Germany's Herr Hitler also sticks in our craw! Not only has he made
that country a sort of breeding-house for the world, but he has put
fear and unadulterated terror into the hearts of its people. Aloud,
they cheer him and proclaim his name; inward- ly, they shudder to
think of what would happen if they did not kneel and kiss his boots
as he passed by.
The latest development is the banning of the collection of
President Roosevelt's speeches; the classing of them as "undesir-
able literature". It is true that Roosevelt's policies are kini* of
"screwy", but he does make good speeches; they are well-written and
well-delivered and hardly to be class- ed as "undesirable."
Hitler is a coward and a weakling. His attempt to be a second
Mussolini is mak- ing him the laughing stock of the world.
A sorry scheme of things?—oh yes— without a doubt.
