Junior Comedy Is Rated Top Performance "Leave Us Face It," junior pro-ducton, held the Winthrop camp-us spotlight Saturday, April 27, in the College auditorium before a record crowd.

Following weeks of rehearsals^ director Jean Carson Brown pre-sented her junior stars in a Win-throp girl's "dream come true" show.

Katherine McConneil's "Rain-bow Girls" delighted the audience with their rhymical dance rou-tines. Percy, played by Dot Sis-tare, created a sensation with her poem, "Drip, Drip?"

"Lib" Allen and Betty Norfleet, freshmen, seemed to be profes-sional minstrels rather than ami teur show girls when they gave out with the "take-off" on the faculty. The audience was high-ly amused by the entr'acte por-traying the wedding of an unedu-cated Winthrop girl, "Butch' Blanchard, and an educated Clem-son college man, Ethel Lancaster.

"Happy" Hance, taking the role of actress, Anita Hughey, artist, and "Dutta" Conley, crack report-er, were Winthrop girls stung by the "carecr bug" but favoring a romantic element, also.

Oil Senior Exams T H E HEATED DISCUSSIONS BY SENIORS concerning the possibility of no senior examinations has subsided with an an-nouncement from the Registrar 's office to the effect that the examination sched-ule for second semester finals remains as stated in the College calendar, May

' 23 to 29. But this condition can, and should be, changed before next year, if exams again run late, so 1947 seniors can have a breathing spell before grad-uation to enjoy the Senior Week acti-vities.

A number of schools have found the exemption plan for senior examinations highly satisfactory. The advantages, we believe, are well stacked in favor of a no-final-exams-for-seniors plan.

Having completed a seven-semester process of taking exams, seniors are well prepared to forego that final testing period. Concensus has it that teachers should know by that time the grade and amount of knowledge the senior has ac-quired. There should be no serious im-plications involved in exempting seniors

from finals. Moreover, a certain plan could be ef-

fected to maintain scholastic standards, if deemed essential. Students with "A" or "B" averages could be excused f rom the tests if the faculty or administration were mainly concerned with grade aver-age. An option could be inserted in the plan, whereby any student eligible for exemption could still take the examina-tion for individual benefit to be de-rived.

The elimination of finals for seniors would allow sufficient time for prospec-tive graduates to enjoy the activities of the traditional and popular Senior Week. As the situation now stands, ex-aminations run well into the final week preceding graduation. Students on the academic borderline are uncertain until the last minute whether they will quali-fy for diplomas.

THE JOHNSONIAN seeks i m m e d i a t e faculty curriculum committee appraisal of the no-senior-examination plan, be-fore it becomes another of those too-late -to-do-anything-about-it problems.

To The Whistlers T H E R E WERE TIMES d u r i n g t h e h i g h school music festival when visiting boys and girls indicated they knew better than some few Winthrop students how to conduct themselves. We refer to the whistling incident in the Dining hall.

Granted, the appearance of young men in the Dining hall is extraordinary. One can't help noticing, even stand up to notice, that a number of males have in-vaded the territory. But, when the high school students arrived late to dinner one day ai.d had to walk the length of the room, a certain few Winthrop girls forgot their college-woman status. The cat-calls and whistles they effected for the benefit of the young men, embar-rassed the rest of the student body.

The offenders will doubtless consider their actions harmless, and not worth

public condemnation. But their action, even in that small dose, so violated Win-throp code, that the whistles caused con-siderable, derogatory comment.

The student body's assured reputa-tion for commendatory public behavior and good manners was not won by stu-dents who whistled at College visitors. It was won by gentile, considerate, po-lite girls who advertised the College as a school for young ladies, n o t i o r the un-restrained.

THE JOHNSONIAN t akes p r ide in W i n -throp's good conduct, and fears these somewhat minor incidents, if too f re-quent and overlooked by the student body, might bring unjust criticism on the College.

Last week's whistling affair must be the first and last.

The Press W orks For Peace W I T H THE POWER OF THE PRESS u n q u e s -tioned, it is significant that The Ameri-can Society of Newspaper Editors are studying the means v. hereby the press can best concentrate its efforts for world peace and stability. From this channel will come some of the most beneficial gains effected in the plans for lasting peace.

The American press, violently and frequently attacked by the nation on a score of charges, provided this country with its most accurate source of inform-ation throughout the war, and is fol-lowing it up with as noteworthy an ac-tivity as that of aiding in securing peace.

The press that thing people will use to the fullest advantage and then proceed to discredit, has developed and improved, and served the people in the face of no acclaim. One of the foremost

Re-Aetivate Yourself A s IN THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT a s -sociation and the Young Women's Christian association, every Winthrop student is automatically a member of the Athletic association. But the number of active members in this organization is deplorably small. Winthrop students need to re-activate their athletic lives.

Jus t as in SGA and the YWCA, the WAA renders an invaluable service to the student body. I t contributes to the physical well-being of the individual. I t releases students from dangerous complications of over-studying, by of-fe r ing relaxation through healthful rec-reation. There isn' t a Winthrop girl who couldn't use several gan.ai of ten-nis, golf, basketball, hockey, a few hikes or a dip in the College pool, each week, and be better fit fo r it.

The College offers each incoming stu-dent the opportunity of a well-rounded education, and this includes physical fitness. But how many students incor-

porate this phase of collegiate living into their schedules? With the exception of the physical education majors, too few other students use the adequately-conditioned tennis courts, athletic field, or available golf course. Too many have seen the College pool only f rom the upper balcony, watching their wiser sisters swim into condition.

It's a campus-wide fault not to keep physically fit. Tatler pictures of past freshmen, compared in their senior year, sho:v the development of a worn-out expression. Athletic activity, to a de-gree, couid erase those tired looks. The burden of a college education could be alleviated with healthful relaxation.

For 1946-47 WAA consideration, THE JOHNSONIAN recommends a hearty campaign to make Winthrop physically sound by increasing the active membership in WAA to at least 1,500 strong.

r*-

interpreters of the news, the press has done more than its share in education, public service and humanitarian enter-prise.

The nation can well look to such an organization as the ASNE for a prac-tical, worthwhile approach to the prob-lem of world peace, now in a million little pieces in the confused minds of world statesmen. The reading public can well look to the Society for a keen in-sight into the intricate state of affairs surrounding the peace table negotia-tions.

The reading public must support the press, recognize it as a powerful, im-portant, contributive estate. The Win-throp student, and students like her, can use the press most effectively of all, because they will be of majori ty age when all the talking and planning will be set forth in working order for PEACE.

rated their newest reg-ulation over the past week end, dating out in town until 11 o'clock. Dating con-ditions in the parlors were finally re-lieved of the no-place-to-sit-down con-gestion, for a half hour at any rate. Eleven-thirty rolled around and found everyone happy with the new, more lib-eral atmosphere. Credit for the regula-tion goes to clear-thinking Senators. We look for the new liberality keynote to strike in other needy spots on the cam-pus.

The Alabama school is currently revising its SGA constitu-tion, and sent several campus leaders on a tour of the South to see what other colleges are doing along the SGA lines. Visitor Barfield anticipates Alabama college will incorporate several WC reg-ulations in their by-laws.

High Schools Musically speaking, the At Winthrop high school festival held

on the campus was a rousing success in its first postwar edi-tion. Excellent organization by Dr. Wal-ter B. Roberts, top instruction by Dr. John F. Williamson, of Westminster Choir school, and judging by noted mu-sicians, made the twentieth annual event a high light of the current school year.

Seniors Rate The appearance of Geor-A r n a U gia's progressive gover-

nor as the 1946 com-mencement speaker will make the grad-uating exercises a drawing card for those who ordinarily wouldn't attend. Ellis Arnall is one of the South's most aggressive voices in the liberal move-ment under way. Seniors are indebted to the office of the President Henry Sims for soliciting this outstanding speaker for the biggest event in any college student 's career.

Saturday Tomorrow night's Jun-Night Date ior-Senior is the most-

talked-about, most-plan-ned-for event of the year. Music by Billy Knauff in the College dining hall, and a good gate from the junior pro-duction, promise a night-to-be-remem-bered.

Are You Guilty? Something New Could Be Added!

Winthrop Could Really Go Places in a Bus! would en joy such a column in the p s g e i of THE JOHNSONIAN; it would not only cover "goings on" but would flavor them with the easy-going air that the Win th rop girl l ikes to find in read ing mat te r of this sort. In a s t ra igh t - running , compact column,

there is a grea ter oppor tuni ty provided fo r more events, member s of the s tudent body, and i tems of interest to be ment ioned. Don ' t you th ink it migh t be a good idea to ge t t h e opinions of s tudent readers on this ma t t e r?

Sincerely, Lois Dollard

WINTHROP NEEDS A BUS Dear Campus Town Hall :

I have heard several discussions re-cent ly on the subject of a bus to be used exclusively for College activities a n d to be known as the "Win throp Bus." I t is cer-tainly evident tha t a bus for Win th rop would be a saving of both t ime and money. Many of the classes and organizations on the campus include field tr ips in their year ly activit ies and the secur ing of a bus is a lways a major problem. Some of the groups which h a v e taken t r ips

this year a r e the economics, government , a n d nutr i t ion classes, and nat ional f ra te rn i t i es P h i U a n d Beta Alpha. These a r e jus t a f e w e x -amples; there are still o ther groups wh ich would take field tr ips and benefit h ighly f rom them if they had the facil i t ies through which to unde r t ake them.

Besides the convenience which a "Win-throp Bus" would supply , it would also formula te an effective means by which organizations could appear in other cities and localities as a body represent ing Win-throp. Other colleges have buses ex-clusively for the use of college activities, and a school as large and as well k n o w n as Winthrop should have some similar means of t ranspor t ing groups which rep-resent it.

Sincerely. Ann McCalla

THINK BEFORE YOV TALK! Dear Campus Town Hal l :

I th ink one of the biggest fau l t s of the s tudent body a t Win th rop college is the a t -t i tude Win th rop gir ls t a k e in ta lk ing abou t a n d crit icizing t h e School on buses and in public places.

I have heard m a n y girls say deroga-tory things about Win throp—the uniforms, food, ru les and th ings in general . I a m a senior, and I 've heard t h e s a m e r e -

marks about Win th rop for fou r years m a d e by gir ls of our own s tudent body. Some girls seem to th ink it 's cu te—but i t is definitely not! Win th rop is a s ta te-suppor ted inst i tut ion, a n d the people w h o a r e on buses a n d in publ ic places a r e tax-payers . Consequent ly , they a r e interested in t h e College, a n d respon-sive to r emarks m a d e about it.

Wha t k ind of opinion do you th ink they fo rm of Win th rop when some of its own s tuden t s speak in such a discredi t ing m a n -ner about our College?

Win th rop is a good school. Each one of us knows tha t it is one of the best schools in Sou th Carolina.

Come on s tudents , slack up on that ta lk on buses and in publ ic places and boost your school. It deserves it. Talk about the good th ings connected wi th our school, and everyone will have a bet ter opinion of Win th rop s tudents .

Sincerely. Betsy Sally

A CHANGE WOULD BE GOODI Dear Campus Town Hall :

I recent ly had the pr ivi lege of looking over t h e files of T H E JOHNSONIAN, and in some back copies of the paper , edi t ions of 1939-1940, I found a most interest ing type of social column. I t was wr i t t en in a breezy, casual s tyle which proved to be a t tent ion-holding and very readable . Many names w e r e b rought into the column, a few style t r ends were ment ioned, a n d i t thoroughly lived up to its t i t le "Seen Here and The re . "

I bel ieve that the s tudents as a whole

BYWAYS AND HEDGES Some people live on love, some on food, and

some jus t live on. Some live and learn; o thers jus t live. Fo r us Winnies it s the little th ings that count, such as seeing Lois Dollard m a k -ing l ike Helen of Troy in her throng sandals . . .
