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-

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 this case taught a subject that is so

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 keep life somewhat romantic. His royal road to romance will call you for weeks alter hearing him en- tertain, until finally you settle down to life as it must be to you.

Nothing is scheduled to! happen for eons and if the unex- [ pected were to occur few could | aiouse themselves from Christmas | uminiscing long enough to take notice. So . . . we start the Happy New Year!
Nan Seward and Julia May Rainey return to duty trium- phantly sporting A. T. O. pins. Congratulations on the greatest amount of work over the shortest pe:iod of time.
Once upon a time a certain S. T. C. Junior went with a very nice young gentleman who drove many miles in a very lovely auto- mobile to see her on week-ends. But the young maiden decided, she was making too much time and withdrew from the arena in I order to give her competition in school a chance to score a few times. Would you call it a parable or a fable?
A question of interest looms upon the horizon ... Is Jack Ped- igo's current flame a certain fair Senior or her ever present room- mate?
Ginna Jarman has just return- ed after taking a week off for a nervous breakdown. If a charm- ing young man with sweeping eyelashes is a new form of ner- vous breakdowns, maybe a few mo.e of us had better take time out for one.
The campus G-girls start the I new year off with a vengeance! . . . about ten or twelve unfor- tunates will reign in and about our vine covered walls for several weeks to come.
Speaking of queens . . . our Mardi Gras queen is conspicuous these days by her absence from
I all social gatherings. Her chariot I is at present a school bus and she reigns ... in true teacherly fash- ion . . . over the country school room.
Quarterly grades serve as the chief topic of conversation . . . as the letters pour in from home we hear solemn resolutions about more study and less play Which will soon go the way of all good resolutions.
One of Margaret Stallard's young swains called from Ken- tucky to wish her a happy birth- day and told her to listen to a certain orchestra's broadcast from Louisville for the song to be dedi- cated to her . . . so she listened for many, many hours . . . 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 a plea for bigger and better scandal and many efficient re- porters!
You Can Get Out of a Thing What You Put Into It
A year Is just a lot of days, and we may make them what we wish. "You get out of a thing exactly what you put into it." Each day may, if we wish it so, a chapter in our lives that we shall want to read or recall over and over again because it was a success. When things go wrong As they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging
seems all up hill. When the funds are low And the debts are high And you want to smile. But you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down
a bit. Rest, if you must— But don't you quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometime learns. And many failure turns about When he might have won Had he stuck It out; Don't give up. though the pace
seems slow. You may succeed with another
blow. The Day
By Grace Noel Crowell The day will bring some lovely
thing. I say it over each new dawn. Some gay. adventurous thing to
hold Against my heart when it is gone. And so I rise and go to meet The day with wings upon my feet.
I come upon it unaware Some sudden beauty without
name; A snatch of song—a breath of
pine A poem lit with golden flame: High tangled bird notes keenly-
thinned Like flying color on the wind.
No day has ever failed me quite. Before the grayest day is done, I find some misty purple bloom, Or a late line of crimson sun. Each night I pause, remembering Some gay. adventurous, lovely thing.

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.

"A state-wide orchestra is never- self - supporting," declared Mr Pyle. His idea is that if several communities will share the ex- pense of a Virginia orchestra when government aid is stopped, as it must soon be, then the actual loss will be little. Mr. Pyle believes that the gain culturally in the privilege of hearing the best music will be worth the loss.
For the last two months, Direc- tor Pyle has been going through the state getting the views of towns on this idea of his and John Powell's. He finds college towns particularly enthusiastic, and de- sires to give Farmville the oppor- tunty of hearing this orchestra. After hearing the band, he asks that students and town people give him frank opinions of the plan of promoting a Virginia symphony.
