City To Make Crossing Main Street Safer Progress in traffic regulations

and pedestrian safety in front of the college on Main Street has been made in the form of four improvements that are expected to be completed by January, 1964.

The improvements are being made as a result of four recommendations compiled by a three- man state engineering team that visited Madison in September and made a study of traffic conditions on Main Street in front of the college. Included in the study were considerations such as amount of traffic, average speed of the cars, and the number of crossers and where they cross the street.

The four proposals were then submitted to the city council of Harrisonburg and approved on No- vember 26. They are as follows:

1. Erection of large signs reading Pedestrian Crossings Ahead equipped with blinking lights. These will be put up north and south of the college.

2. Addition of third crosswalk opposite Wellington House. i i- i—.-i ■ ■ .- i. .

30 Pledge Loyalty To Honor Society

Thirty new members were initi- ated into Alpha Chi, the local chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society in education, De- cember 5 at a banquet at Belle Meade. The initiates pledged to uphold the purposes of Kappa Delta Pi.

New members are: Kay Lorene Cams, Milton George Coyle, Jr., Patricia McTnturff Lynn, Rebecca Jane Scruggs, Margaret Vivienne Taylor, Ora Lee Tolson, Andrea Cris Berkley, Donna Lee Blair, Ruth Elaine Carey, Elizabeth Lee Foresman, Nancy Jo Harcum, Jonne Elizabeth Heatwole, E. Anne Klein, Sharon Louise Leinart, and Linda Lee Lynn.

Other new members include: Brenda Joyce McClain, Susan Nun- nally Parrish, Joan Dale Perry, Janyce M. Pfoutz, Barbara Anne Ralcy, Mary Claire Rankin, Jose- phine R. Sauiulers, Mary Landon Smith, Tanya Mae Suarez, Ellen Carol Wade, Patricia Sandra Waters, Nancy Joyce Will, Carol Virginia Wootten, Judith S. Young, and Mary Cullen Johnson.

Dr. G. C. Smith Dies At 53 After A Two-Year Illness

Dr. Glenn Curtis Smith, former professor of history at Madison College for 22 years, died Tues- day, December 10, at his home in Harrisonburg. Dr. Smith had been ill for several years.

Smith, born in 1910, in Levigh- ton, Pennsylvania, had written 40 articles and had innumerable book reviews in Virginia newspapers to his credit. In 1962, his article en- titled "Thomas Jefferson Loved Flowers" appeared in the Novem- ber issue of FLOWER AND GARDEN Magazine.

Aside from his professorial duties at Madison, he was active as a advisor to several organizations, among which was the International Relations Club and The Breeze, and served, until his illness made him inactive, the present junior class as its sponsor.

Dr. Smith attended school at Lehighton and also Perkiomen Preparatory School, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor's degree from East Stroudsburg State Col- lege; his Master's degree from Temple University; and his Ph. D. degree from the University of Vir- ginia

Smith served in the Navy during World War II and had been making his home in Harrisonburg since that time.

movement will put the crosswalk closer to the campus school.

4. Erection of additional signs adjacent to all three crosswalks as a further reminder to motorists.

An improvement that has already gone into effect is the no parking rule on both sides of Main Street between the railroad tracks and Grace Street.

The action of the engineering team was a result of action by the City Council in September upon recommendations of the Health Council of Madison College. This organization has been working with the City Council for a number of years in an attempt to improve traffic conditions for Madison students.

This issue of the Breeze will be the last of this year. The next issue will be published on Saturday, January 11.

YWCA Produces 'Shepherd's Play'

The YWCA Council will break tradition by presenting the Second Sheperd's Play, a farce-comedy, at the annual Christmas program to be held on December 17 at the noon assembly in Wilson Auditor- ium.

The Second Sheperd's Play is a one-act miracle play from the middle ages and has no known author or exact date. The sheperds are not from Israel, but from the countryside of England and are on their way to visit the new-born Christ child.

Coll, Gib, and Daw, the three sheperds, are played respectively by Milton Yoder, Bill Purtlebaugh, and Johnny Bryant. Carolyn Rose plays the role of Mac, the sheep stealer. Mac's wife. Gill, is played by Barbara Reeves. An angel, named Mary, also appears who is portrayed by Earlene Kramer.

Linda Anderson, a senior, is in charge of the production of the 30- minute play.

Representing the Interfraternity council will be Monty Webb, president; John Hansbrough, vice president; David Behrens, recording secretary; Eldon Bowman, acting treasurer; Fred Eaton, representa- tive; and Cary Clayton, represen- tative!

Sorority officers who will be in the figure are Pat Bowers, acting president of Alpha Gamma Delta; Judy Harris, acting vice president of Alpha Sigma Alpha; Diane Pen- newell, vice president of Alpha Sigma Tau; Linda Miller, acting president of Zeta Tau Alpha; Ruth. Monsch, acting president of Ph|

Choir To Present Christmas Concert On December 15

The amrual Christmas Concert given by the concert choir will be held in Wilson Auditorium at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December IS, 1963.

Beginning with a processional, the hour program will be divided into two parts. The first will con- sist of several selections done ,jn Latin. Three of the several sacred music selections are: "O Magnum Mysterium" by Christobal de Morales,- "The Four Carols" by Wilfrid Mellers, and a feature of this part of the program will be a solo, "Rejoice, Rejoice" given by Cindy Wood.

After an intermission during which the audience will sing Christmas Carols, the choir will return to sing selections which are somewhat more familiar. Some of these secular pieces will be "Little Drummer Boy", "Fum, Fum, Fum", and "No Candle Was There And No Fire."

Soloists for the program will be Cay Sinclair, Beverly. Sawyer, Cindy Wood, Bobbie Snow and Robin Bunch. Dr. Lester Bucher is the director of the choir.

Ten Students Plan For Model UN Assembly

It seems that the Christmas spirit has even reached into the far corners of the Campus Tea Room. To begin the new year off right the Tea Room will open its doors on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. On Monday through Friday, it will open at the regular time of 7:30 a.m. but it will close, however, at 2:00 p.m. This new schedule will become effective January 4, when Madison students return to campus after the holidays.

Since this is an answer to student requests for the opening of the Tea Room on Saturdays, it is hoped that the student body will use the facilities provided.

Ten students have been selected to represent Madison at the sixth annual Middle-South Model Gen- eral Assembly to be held at Duke University, February 12-16.

The students selected are Cary Clayton, Joyce Coryell, Lois Carda- rella, Anne Edison, Janet Fleming, Sandra Floyd, Carole Gorry, Pam Helsley, Bobby Knighton, and Diane McMillian. Diane Miller and Reedy Kay Clark will serve as alternates.

The students were selected by members of the Social Science De- partment on the basis of scholarship, extra-curricular activities, and a one-page essay stating why the students wished to attend the As- sembly.

The ten delegates and alternates will be divided equally into two separate delegations. One delegation will represent Spain, the other Morocco. The delegation will hold meetings throughout the following months to acquaint the delegates with the country they will represent, to propose resolutions to be presented at the General Assembly, and to learn United Nations pro- cedure.

The delegation while attending

the General Assembly will vote, caucus, and deliver speeches ac- cording to the policies of the coun- tries they represent.

Madison is one of 50 colleges and universities to send a delegation to the Assembly. Herbert Whit- mer, Jr., Social Science professor,

will work with and accompany the students to Duke University.

The Model General Assembly is sponsored by the Collegiate Council of the United Nations in which Madison is affiliated through the auspises of the International Relations Club.

Pictured above are the ten students selected to represent Madison at the Model General Assembly at Duke University, February 12- 16. First row (L to r.) are Cary Clayton, Sandy Floyd, Diane McMillian, and Pam Helsley. Second row (1. to r.) are Anne Edison, Bobby Knighton, Janet Fleming, Lois Cardarella, and Carole Gorry. Not pictured are Diane Miller and Reedy Clark, alternates.

Irate Breeze Staff Attacks Students9 Attitude Of Apathy

Something is wrong with the attitude of Madison students. Everyone knows the problem, but no one is going to do any- thing about it. The student would say, "After all, I'm not the one who is complacent or apathetic; I'd like to remedy the situation, but..."

Yes, "but..." is always the reply. No one is going to take the responsibility to get out and work for their school; no one is going to give up his bridge game or sorority open house or movie or television program or studying for "this big test next week", or any of a hundred convenient excuses.

Last week, THE BREEZE, for the benefit of the students, put out a six-page paper. On Thursday before the paper went to press, the editor and assistant editor began working on the newspaper from 3 :00 p.m. to 5 :30 p.m. Then, they were joined by two other students and worked from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Four people out of 1850 students worked Thursday to put out Madison's newspaper. Approximately 12,000 words of copy went into that paper...

This limited support is typical for THE BREEZE. For some reason, two to seven students carry the newspaper each year. It is not only unfair to the students who are doing all the work—and who like others are trying to keep their average and yet have some time for relaxation and recreation—but it is also very unfair to the readers.

As it is now, the students are receiving the benefits of only a few persons' talents. The students are cheating themselves by not working on their newspaper; they are missing some of the campus and world news because the staff members are not of a large enough number to circulate and discover some of the behind-the-scenes news. When something controversial arises, the student body generally receives the view of opinion of only one or two people. Also, when this controvjuy,.'£ g°!ng on>. tne &tod£-atB-**»ear v..:insctves-rtf -nof ra&ifg' some sort-of ,x stand on the issue: by either writing letters to the editor, or by leading student action. Many students feel that it does no good to write letters into THE BREEZE; yet, only recently we received a rule change on the "Spring Vacation vs. Easter Vaca- tion" issue because of the efforts of the college newspaper. The students do have a real voice and power at Madison; if we use that power intelligently and fairly, we will have a better chance in achieving true self-government. The faculty and adminis- trators are trying to do what they believe best for the college. Unless we tell them our opinions, we cannot expect them to consider our interests.

This attitude of apathy on the part of the students is not only shown in their newspaper support. It is evident in every phase of life at Madison. It is evident when "volunteers" are sought to help decorate for dances, to plan social functions of various clubs, to help in the work of the major and minor campus organizations, and to take an active part in class meetings.

Perhaps the fault lies with the fact that the student thinks he has too much academic work and cannot afford to take time out for extra-curricular activities. , If the student were really interested, however, he could schedule his work so that he would have ample time to engage in non-academic activities.

THE BREEZE can use all kinds of talent and ability. We need typists; people to insert middle pages when we have a six-page paper; people to write headlines (the rules of which can be taught in one night); students to walk downtown to pick up the ads; people to proofread; people to fold THE BREEZE, stamp and address them, and mail them from the Post Office to each subscriber; etc. Aside from these duties, we need students to collect and record facts on news stories; we need people to write news and feature articles. Students can join the staff by coming over to the Breeze Room m Logan basement on Tuesday or Thursday nights.

We ask that students re-evaluate what they are accom- plishing at Madison. Are they merely cramming facts into their head in order to get a certain grade, or are they really trying to learn their subjects and to allow ample time to de- velop socially as well?

We ask that if students cannot, at any time during their four years at Madison, devote a little time to their newspaper, they at least have enough interest to read it!

Criterion Presents Month's Selection

The following poem by Linda Clark is the Criterion Selection for December.

Miss Clark, sophomore, who is the daughter of Mr. H. A. Clark of Staunton, is an English major.

I see my comrades silent behind masks with hidden labels "Made in U.S.A."

M. C. Females Called 'Passive' — by Marshall Cook — The trend around the world,

especially . among the so-called "beats," is a political as well as social state of mind called pacif- ism. Madison College has been

in this socially degenerate state for 40 years.

In referring to Madison College, I do not mean the college as such but rather the majority of the feminine at- tendants of our fair institution.

It is a proven fact that women in general are passive; but must they cower like scared puppies whenever the administrative social whip is cracked! A backbone is a funny thing; it sticks out like a sore thumb, especially when it is missing.

I realize that there are a few women on this campus who do stand up for what they believe; these people are easily recognizable and more easily respected. But what I am criticizing are those girls, forming the majority at Madi- son, who will not defend themselves when the situation demands it. But why should I care? After all, I am only one of those pe- culiar elements of

M. Cook

poS'e f>r serves and in so doing obtain interest in correcting them.

It follows that I think Madison College has a very definite problem, a shocking problem, to be sure. Indeed, what is more shocking than landing in a sitting posi- tion on solid stone? I am of course referring to the slippery steps to be found on buildings all over the campus, but especially on the front of Harrison Hall. I know even the most light of foot student at Madison must at some time have slid down these on the painful end of her spinal column.

What is to be done? Some steps must be taken, if you will pardon the pun. It seems that if Madison can undertake massive building projects such as those now in progress that it can repair real hazards in the present limestone structures.

I suggest that these steps are repaired before there is not one undamaged coccyx ju_ attendance at Madison.

Pamela Palmer

ents of JJiis pinnacle of

the category of "the nunnery." Why should I care if your earned and deserved rights are taken away from you or are just simply de- nied? What should any male care if only 1/8 of one percent of the women have ever responded to polls about the policies of the college!

Well, the simple fact is that I do care about how the majority of the students act, or in this case don't act, as it reflects on the whole student body—male and fe- male.

It is about time the majority of the students participate in the government of Madison College. This participation can begin by joining in and supporting campus activities, helping on committees, and standing up for what is or should be yours—instead of being among those who are walked upon.

'Majors' Answer Writer's Complaint Dear Editor:

Here is an answer to Mr. Cook's column about equal gym privileges to keep him from "squeezing the blood out of that rock!"

It is an established fact that the Dukes do have fewer hours of practice a week than Bridgewater. What we would like to know is whether six more hours a week would benefit the team.

Because classes are deamed so important in college, and rightly so, we 'girls with our muliebrity are not, ourselves, able to obtain the gym for Extramural Basket- ball practice but 3y$ hours a week. Equal rights (that's what the boys are always complaining about)! Maybe we should be the ones de- manding equal rights! For your in- formation the girls at Bridgewater practice a great deal more than our girls but we realize the gym situation and are not complaining. Had you checked into the situation by checking tne gym schedule posted on the outside of the gym, you would have found that the avail- ability of the gym is very limited. When the gym is not being used by the boys or girls basketball teams, it is open for individual practice, for classes, by both girls

Christmas Fashions Induce, ^ Satin, Looped-Mohair Fabrics

The Christmas Season brings with its happy occasion a feeling of warmness and friendliness—a season to visit friends and relatives and attend Christmas dances and parties. Madison girls like many collegiates all over the country, are probably wondering what to wear for these occasions.

The classic white is again the fashion must for any special occasion! White woolen A-line jumpers, empire-waisted sheaths and- suits are especially popular. The fabric rage is for looped mohair. The accessory favored by college girls for the jumpers, dresses and suits are the large gold pins worn in the middle of the front upper-bodice.

Suedes, along with the looped- mohair fabrics, are coming into

For the formal affair such as the annual Christmas Ball, floor-length evening gowns are worn. The sleek-lined look is especially popular with an empire waistline or a regulai* waistline with a bell-shaped shirt. During the Christmas season gold, greens, reds, and whites are the popular colors.

For the glamorous hair styles of the season, a bow or headband of velvet, a jeweled hairpin, or a piece of holly may be that little extra needed to complement your choice of holiday fashions.

Believer Writes Letter To Santa

Mr. Santa Claus C/O The Nortli Pole Zip Code 99701

Dearest Santa,

And so I begin my annual letter to you with maximum humility and all due respect for your age and vocation. That you exist I have never doubted, for my letters have always reached your attentive senses as evidenced by the fact that I have, in the past, had even my wildest desires fulfilled.

•As in the past, I have been be- having admirably, considering the social conditions and . pressures under which I labor. I have attended classes regularly, spoken kindly to Madison men who have held doors open for me, been cour- teous to unprepared professors, and sometimes brushed after every meal. I have become well-adjusted to being a college student (after three years), and my peers find me relatively oriented to the group. So, dear Santy, I really do deserve your fulfillment of my few requests.

For Madison College, would you kindly send I.ôve Potion #9 to be

Freud States Religious Belief In 'Future Of An Illusion9

by Peggy Hedley

Future of an Illusion, trans- lated by W. D. Robson-Scott; revised and newly edited by James Strachey; written by Sig- mund Freud.

In. the Future of an Illusion, Sigmund Freud applies his psycho- analytic approach to the study of culture and presents his major study of the role which religion and traditional beliefs play in human life and culture. It is a very controversial work and the reader, if religiously inclined, will meet some very unsettling facts about religion and its formulation by man.

The book is mainly concerned with an explanation of man's need for religion, but Freud also presents his concepts of civilization. Man came together and created civilization to defend himself against nature. Communal life, however, places many restrictions on each member of the civilization as each man naturally has anti- social motivations such as the in-

stinctive wishes of incest, cannibal- ism and lust for killing. Eventual internationalization of the external coercion against these wishes re- sulted iii man's mental agency, the super-ego, taking over and restrict- ing the impulses.

Included in culture, Freud states, are moral ideals. These are based on man's first achievements; there- fore, the "satisfaction which the ideal offers to the participants in the culture is thus of a narcissistic nature: it rests on their pride in what has already been successfully achieved." This pride in one's own culture enables man to hate other cultures and thus gives him a chan- nel through which to release the frustrations caused by the denial of his instincts and the restriction of his wishes.

Freud presents the question, "In what does the particular value of religious ideas lie?" In answering this, he reveals that religious ideas are born because man needs to place his struggle against nature— earth, water, st'orm, disease, and

For the intellectual giants, our faculty members, please deliver added incentive and loads of love- ly patience as we students are rather a burdensome chore with our lack of academic inquisitive- ness and incentiveness.

For my classmates and me, please bring the ability to think and the ability to thirst for knowledge as an end in itself—not just the means to high grades and social status.

For the members of the senior class who deserve it, please bring degrees in June, with the under- standing that education doesn't end upon the receipt of this scrawled- upon sheepskin.

The juniors need several things too—not the least of which is per- serverence. Please give these guid- ing minds the wisdom to realize that a student 21-years-old should be allowed to have an automobile on campus, so that next year's seniors may use any cars provi- dence has seen fit to bestow upon them.

Sophomores need assurance, for they are near the halfway-mark. Please give them foresight to ade-

the insight to take advantage of once-offered opportunities. Also, dear gift-bearer, please continue their steadfast, if sometimes mis- guided, school spirit.

Freshman babes are fortunate

indeed, for they will supposedly enjoy the pleasure of attending Madison as a co-ed institution of higher learning. Please allow fate to follow through with this pro- posal and please endow the freshmen with the desire to display their femininity with grace and dignity.

A generous dose of lasting interest in journalism would be a won- derful gift for THE BREEZE staff; even student appreciation woiffd be helpful. And if you hap- pen to be overly generous, please include some pep pills for use of the staff on Tuesday and Thurs- day nights.

Freud States Religious Views (Continued from Page 4)

the "painfuUriddle of death"—on a level that he is able to combat. Civilization began by humanizing the forces of nature into gods who could be dealt with by individual man on the same relationship as child with father. Both are simi- lar state of helplessness; one fears his father and yet looks to him for protection.

As man realized the* regularity and conformity to the law of nature, the forces lost their human traits; but, the gods remained as rulers over the ordered universe and morality became the god's do- main. They took over the precepts of civilization and elevated them "beyond human society." This gave man an answer to the exces- sive suffering on this earth; it gave him a "life-after-death" to live for and helped to overcome the riddle of death.

With this explanation of the value of religious ideas, other questions arise: "What are these ideas in the light of psychology? Whence do they derive the esteem in which they are held ? and... what is their real worth?"

Freud explains that religious doctrines are illusions, "fulfillments of the oldest, strongest and most ur- gent wishes of mankind." His test for the authenticity of these doctrines reveals that the reasons for religious belief are: (1) they were already believed by our an- cestors; (2) we have proofs that they were handed down from them; ^mnwi»mlm»M»m?lflmimiml«immmm»mmi ",

and, (3) it is forbidden to raise the question of their authentication. All of these reasons, Freud uses as proofs for his disbelief.

At this point in his discourse, Freud changes his manner of approach to the discussion and lets the reader imagine that he has an opponent who follows his argument with mistrust, asking questions and making remarks. With this technique, the train of thought sometimes becomes involved on both sides of the question and it is difficult to realize which side of the argument Freud is presently taking.

After defending his argument and breaking down the whole founda- tion of religion, Freud then turns and "pleads on the behalf of re- taining the religious doctrinal sys- tem as the basis of education and of man's communal life." Freud believes that this is the only sys- tem conceived at the moment for disciplining civilization and that man must act "as if" he believed the doctrine were true, but he must also realize the new basic concepts of science and knowledge which prove that while religious ideals are illusions, they are necessary.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY

If you have been reading this column—and I hope you have; I mean I genuinely hope BO; I mean it does not profit me one penny whether you read this column or not; I mean I am paid every week by the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes and my emolument is not affected in any way by the number of people who read or fail to read this column—an act of generosity ™*fecjUy ehaiaejejjstic of the makers oyVIarib/Mrp.. vqu W£ul^, say if you knew them as I do; I mean here are tobacconists gray at the temples and full of honors who approach their art as eagerly, as dewy-eyed as the youngest of practitioners; I mean the purpose of the Marlboro makers k simply to put the best of all possible filters behind the best of all possible tobaccos and then go, heads high, into the market place with their wares, confident that the inborn sense of right and wrong, of good and bad, of worthy and unworthy, which is the natural instinct of every American, will result in a modest return to themselves for their long hours and dedicated labors—not, let me hasten to add, that money is of first importance to the makers of Marlboro; all these simple men require is plain, wholesome food, plenty of Marlboros, and the knowledge that they have scattered a bit of sunshine into the lives of smokers everywhere; if, I say, you have been reading this column, you may remember that last week we started to discuss Christmas gifts.

*e :.:***. ■

We agreed, of course, to give cartons of Marlboro to all our friends and also to as many total strangers as possible. Today let us look into some other welcome gifts.

Do you know someone who is interested in American historyt IS so, he will surely appreciate a statuette of Millard Fillmore with a clock in the stomach. (Mr. Fillmore, incidentally, was the only American president with a clock in the stomach. James K. Polk had a stem-winder in his head, and William Henry Harrison chimed the quarter-hour, but only Mr. Fillmore, of all our chief executives, had a clock in the stomach. Franklin Pierce had a sweep second hand and Zachary Taylor had seventeen jewels, but, I repeat, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fillmore alone had a-clock in the stomach. Some say that Mr. Fillmore was also the first president with power steering, but most historians assign this distinction to Chester A. Arthur. How- ever, it has been established beyond doubt that Mr. Fillmore VMS the first president with a thermostat. Small wonder they called him Old Hickory 1)

But I digress. To get back to welcome and unusual Christmas gifts, here's one that's sure to please—a gift certificate from the American Chiropractic Society. Accompanying each certificate is this winsome little poem:

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Joyous sacro-iliacl May your spine forever shine. Blessings on your aching back. May your lumbar ne'er grow number, May your backbone ne'er dislodge, May your caudal never dawdle, Joyeux Noel! Heureux massage!

The makers of Marlboro, who take pleasure In bringing you this column throughout the school year, would like to Join with Old Max in extending greetings of the season.
