payments to employees after re-
tirement for periods of sick
ness. The value of their un-
used sick leave. based on their
rate of pay before retirement,
would be used in determining
the payments. When the sick
leave was used up, these pay
ments for sickness would cease.
Other bills that the csc
gave adverse reports to would
utilize unused sick leave to
increase an employees annuity
on retirement, by crediting him
for a longer period of Federal
service based on the number
of days his unused sick leave
amounted to.
The csc discounted argu-
ments that such legislation
would give employees greater
incentive not to use sick leave

tually had to. 1t said that the

HISS BILL-The strong OBJ
,iections of Senator Williams,
Republican of Delaware, caused
sponsors Of the so-called Hiss
bill to agree to send the mea-
sure back to the Senate Civil
Service Committee for possible
revision. The bill. which came
up on the Senate floor last
week, would allow annuities to
be paid to retired Government
workers who had been con-
victed of felonies against the
Government, except where the
cases involved national Sc
curity. The measure already
has been approved by the
House.
The bills sponsors are still
hopeful the Senate will approve
It before adjournment. The ad-
ministration favors 1t and the
sponsors are hoping that Re-
publican support will material
ize behind the measure. Sena-
tor Williams contended that
while some employees convicted
of felonies should be entitled
to annuity payments, others
guilty of more fragrant crimes
should not be entitled to annui-
ties.
PAY BILL-As part of the 9
per cent classified and postal
employe pay raise bill approved
by the House Civil Service
Committee, there is a provision

Reprint From Rotunda
By Ann Agee

Miss Martha Burton, one of the
two new professors in the Long
wood English department, is both
an experienced teacher and STU
dent.
After completing high school,
she attended Guiiford College in
Greensboro, North Carolina, for
four years, graduating with her
bachelors degree. The following
year. she taught the first grade
in West Palm Beach. Florida.
She did not find teaching elemen-
tary school to her liking, how
ever, for as she jokingly COM
ments, g. the tact that I was
living in West Palm Beach was
the only thing which preserved
my sanity"
In 1856, Miss Burton enrolled
in the University of North Caro-
lima. and after a year of study,
received her masters degree. In
the fall of 1857, she began study
on her Phi D degree at U NC,
and at the same time, served as
a part-time instructor in the uni
versity English department. After
three years of being half student
half teacher. she decided to leave
graduate school, with most of the
work toward a Ph.D. completed.
When questioned as to why she
accepted position at Longwood,
she said that she preferred a
small college. rather than the
mass organization" of a large
university. and this college is
close to Chapel Hill and to her
home in High Point, North Caro-
lima.
Concerning Longwood, Miss
Burton said she is impressed
by the calibre of girl who is
here" and she likes the college
very much. Longwood's impress
sion of Miss Burton has been
equally as good. Her students
have a tendency to rave about
her. saying that she makes the
classics interesting. and they feel
she has a personal interest in
them. The kind of person who
ELECTS these comments from her
students is a person who likes
people, who likes teaching; a per-
son who has a bubbling enthusi-
asm for her subject matter and
conveys this enthusiasm to her
students. Miss Burton revealed
this, herself. when she said, II
