The Rotunda
VOL. LVIII
LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1982
NO.l
Welcome Freshmen!
"I would like for us to graduate
the kind of student who does not
feel that the only thing to do after
you finish work is go home, eat
and watch television — the well
rounded student; conscious of the
world he lives in" said Dr.
Greenwood recently in an
interview with the Rotunda.
Her stress for this year along
with her previous theme of
"Joining Together" with the
surrounding community, is the
"Pursuit of excellence." She
wants Longwood to be the place
"where things are happening" —
exciting things. Apparently so do
a substantial number of previous
students who have volunteered
their services as colleagues,
orientation leaders, and student
assistants.
These students have decided
that the pursuit of excellence
would also be the best theme for
this yearL- Freshncn orientation
program. Perhaps they didn't
want to pursue excellence so
much as demonstrate it, for this
program, in the words of Karen
Kelsey, student director of
Orientation "is going to be one of
the greatest ever."
Orientation for Freshmen
begins Friday, August 20, 1982. It
is initiated by the most
substantial of needs being
provided for — namely food, in
the form of donuts and coffee,
courtesy of the Pan Hellenic
Council. Later, as the day wears
on, social events are highlighted,
as Dave Jones and Karen Kelsey
talk with the day students and Dr.
Greenwood and Charles Sydnor,
from the governor's office, speak
with the parents of incoming
Freshmen. General Orientation
and the Presidents Assembly
lead up the evening as Dr.
Greenwood welcomes the
Freshmen to their new home.
Day two of orientation,
ironically began with a quote
from Cervantes, creator of the
most impractical man who ever
rode a mule, is a picture of
pragmatism. Dr. Michael
Haltzel, newly appointed vice-
president of the Academic
Affairs will introduce
representatives from different
Longwood College Organizations
who v/ill speak with the
Freshmen, giving them a brief
overview of the organizations
they represent. Next on the
Agenda for those Freshmen who
have declared a major, is to go to
their respective departments for
advisement and schedule
formation. For those undeclared
Freshmen, Dr. Peale of the Eng-
lish, Foreign Language and Phil-
osophy department will be hold-
ing a discussion session in the
Lankford Gold room. After lunch,
the all important registration and
equally imporant campus tour
will be conducted. Phyllis L.
Maple, vice president for student
affairs, taking into consideration
the proverbial statement "all
work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" will be sponsoring the
Reptile Rhythm Section to
provide entertainment Saturday
night starting at 9:00 p.m. in
Lankford Building. Bring your
driver:, license if you want to buy
beer.
As the sabbath was the day of
rest for God, so it shall be for
Freshmen. Day three of
orientation is basic R and R. Rev.
Michael Edwards will hold an
Inter-Religious council at
Lankford building in the morning
for all interested freshmen.
Later, the interest fair at library
mall will give Longwood's
student organizations a chance to
strut their stuff while Freshmen
get a chance to soak up some sun.
For those physical fitness bugs
Lancer Hall and Her will be open.
Remember to bring name tags to
use as collateral for any
equipment you may want to use.
After the afternoon activities a
colleague picnic in Wheeler Mall
and Assembly in Jarman will
wind up the day.
Monday will be back to serious
work again for the F'eshmen with
Academic Advising for those who
didn't get a chance on Saturday
and registration. (Section 1
groups 1-28 must be advised on
Saturday because they have to
register Saturday afternoon.)
Honor code signing will be lieid
Monday night with Dr. Geoffrey
Orth presiding in Jarman
Auditorium.
Tuesday, the 24th, last day
before classes and final day of
orientation. Freshmen will hear a
speech in Jarman Auditorium,
then will go on to complete the
ACE questionnaire.Later, in the
Lankford Gold room Edna Allen
Bledsoe will meet with minority
students and other interested
parties. At 1:00 o'clock all
Freshmen will meet with their
orientation leaders in the areas
designated by the schedule
below. Bring a pencil. There will
be bookstore gift certificates
given to freshmen and
orientation leaders who score
highest on a "Trivia" test about
Longwood, and who have
participated the most. Also a one
day trip to Washington is planned
for the most active orientation
groups and leaders.
Convocation is Tuesday eve-
ning. Seniors and faculty in
full academic regaha will hear
from Dr. Haltzel in Jarman
Auditorium. Finally the finale' —
dinner and music at the
E*residents' home in the dell. The
Good Guys from Richmond will
be the featured musicians.

THE ROTUNDA
Friday, August 20, 1982
Longwood Gets Face Lift
"A Blue ceiling in the dining
room!? Come on! Dorms without
grafitti!? Doors without holes
and padlocks!? New furniture!?
Floors that shine like they were
out of a pledge commercial!?
What has happened to
Longwood?" We are still finding
out.
Along with new staff members,
new policies in orientation and
other welcomed improvements,
students were delighted to
discover a great deal of physical
Rotunda takes on an added brightness due to recent wax job.
Four New Vice-Presidents
Join Longwood's
Administration
Four nationally prominent
educators will join the Ix)ngwood
College administration this
summer if approved by the
college's Board of Visitors on
July 16.
Ix)ngwood president Janet D.
Greenwood said "this team will
make the cutting-edge difference
for Longwood in the next
decade," She said that their
background and expertise make
possible the achievement of the
goals she outlined in her
inaugural address in April.
The new appointees are:
- Dr. Vema L. Armstrong of
Cincinnati and FarmviUe, vice
president for business affairs.
She currently is interim vice
president for academic affairs at
Ix)ngwood and is on leave from a
faculty position at the University
of Cincinnati.
- Dr. Michael H. Haltzel of
Glenmont, N.Y., vice president
for academic affairs. He
formerly was with Russell
Reynolds Associates, the
Lehrman Institute, the Aspen
Institute for Humanistic Studies,
and New York University.
- Phyllis L. Mable of
Richmond, vice president for
student affairs. She is dean of
student affairs at Virginia
Commonwealth University and a
recent president of the major
national professional association
m student affairs, the American
College Personnel Association.
— and John R. Rothermel, Jr.,
of Needham, Mass., executive
assistant to the president. He
currently is executive vice
president at Boston State College.
Two other members of the new
administration were appointed
last January. They are Donald L.
Lemish, vice president for
institutional advancement, who
came from East Carolina
University; and H. Donald
Winkler, director of public
affairs, who was with the East-
West Center in Honolulu, HI.
All members of the new
administration share strong
academic backgrounds and
national recognition. Two —
Haltzel and Winkler — also have
had international experience.
Two — Haltzel and Rothermel —
are Harvard graduates.
Academic enchancement,
including a greater international
thrust, were emphasized by
President Greenwood in her
inaugural address, in which she
cited new educational goals for
students. The 13 goals, designed
to prepare students "for living
fully in the 21st century," range
from saleable work skills
enabling students to be "more
than competitive in a variety of
career fields" to family-life skills
and a "global ethic" or "world
consciousness."
improvements to Longwood's
campus and facilities. None of us
realized what a nicely waxed
floor and clean painted walls can
do for a room .
"This has been the busiest
summer we've had since I've
been here and I've been here five
years", physical plant director,
Roy Hill commented. Examples
of what kept Hill's staff busy are
evident everywhere. The dining
hall with its blue ceiling, live
plants and tile entrance-way, is a
main accomplishment along with
other extensive painting in the
dorms. The improvements range
from such accomplishments as
adding a sidewalk leading to Par-
Bil's, a brick walk from the
entrance of Main Cunningham to
South Cunningham, replacing
seventy doors in Cox to detailed
work such as new light fixtures
and exit lights.
New paint job to the Dining Hall adds atmosphere to appetite.

Editor's Turn
In the beginning there was ape. (Creationist mellow-out for a bit). Then there was person. Person
being man-woman. Then there were beers and bones and Miltons and thongs and Jacuzzis and Aloine
and swingers and old wine, there were Reagans and Stocitman and Nixon and Pac-Man, Begins
and Bagels, star trek and lasers, hang glides, hot rides, stacked out broads and
magna cum laudes— there was college, eeeh! College! ! The Ivory tower institute of higher learning
— musty books and dusty nooks? And what's a cute person like you doing in a place like this... huh?
You never wanted to go to college, all your life you dreamed of a log cabin in the woods — catfish
for supper by a quaint crystal water pond, chewing chigger weed and occasionally taking a
refreshing dip. You were going to sell the T.V., get away with a backpack and Harley-Davidson
L.T.D., along the blue ridge — live were you land — crash — aaah, that's the life. Then your parents
(the dastardly buggers) kept feeding you this crap about education. Education! ! college. College! !
"But Mom, I don't need any education. ..look I can get a job right now. Pizza Hut. O.K. so Pizza
Huts not Wall Street, so what. Do I have to live up to your expectations. I'm 18 for godsakes. I'm old
enough to make my own decisions. If I want to rub crust off of Pizza pans for a living that's my own
business."
So you decided to go to college... huh? Make something of yourself? But what? Ohoh another
decision. You want to turn the world upside down with your discerning diagnosis. A fresh logical
viewpoint on this muddle those adults (ugh) have made of this earth. But how? Another decision.
They do seem to stack up. Have you picked a major? A minor? What classes are you ready for? Who
to take to the party Friday night? Will he ask me out? Will you ask him out? and who cares? Why you
care of course. Stuck in what Satre would call the absurdity of decision. Hamlet's bee buzzing around
in your bonnet. Buzz-Buzzing through for the rest of your life. The quaint pond doesn't sound so bad
now. But of course that is another decision —to advance or retreat. Is there no way out? Sorry, nope.
You blew it at conception.
Consider college an armament for the future, a decisive excalibur to slash through all those murky
que.stion.s and carve your own answers. Decisions must always me made. Hopefully a high education
will ^ive you the equipment to do it in accordance with what you want and what the world needs.

Freshman Stats
The Longwood class of 1986 is
up in population from the class of
'85 by about 100. Guy to girl ratio
is about 1 to 3 (give or take a girl)
and the preferred major seems to
be business.
According to a recent study
done at the St. Louis University,
the students of the class of '86 are
commonly extroverted, intuitive,
feeling and perceptive.

SPORTS
Lancer Baseball
Goes Division 11 Series
Back before the 1982 season
began, Longwood baseball coach
Buddy Bolding allowed as how
this team could turn out to be his
best ever. How right you were,
coach ! In only its fifth year, the
Longwood baseball team rang up
a sparkling 31-10-1 record, won
the South Atlantic Region
Tournament and qualified for the
NCAA Division II World Series in
Riverside, California.
The Lancers, who ended up
ranked fifth in Division II by
Collegiate Baseball, were
eliminated by eventual national
champ Riverside 6-1 and national
runner-up Florida Southern 11-0
in the World Series May 22-25.
While disappointed with the
games in California, Coach
Bolding pointed with pride to his
team's accomplishments.
"Looking in perspective," the
coach noted, "I'm as pleased as I
can be. Our big ambition was to
gain a Division II bid, but we
went way beyond it. We didn't
even remotely hope for this."
What Longwood did was
journey to Valdosta, Georgia and
knock off regional kingpin
Valdosta State in two out of three
games and trounce ranked West
Georgia 12-2 to win the regional
title and advance to the World
Series. Bolding's team shocked
the favored Blazers and their
fans by taking the title game 3-1
on May 15.
"It was the experience of a
lifetime," said the coach,
referring to the regional title and
trip to the world series. "And,
I'm real proud of the team. They
spread the name of Longwood
College and Farmville from the
Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific
Ocean. We're looking forward to
going out there again some day."
A POWER AGAIN?
"Some day" could turn out to
be next season. Bolding will have
the heart of his team back again
next season including AU-
American shortstop Dwayne
Kingery (.390), season baseman
David Rumburg (.397), catcher
Doug Toombs (.397), left fielder
Sonny Bolton (.379) and third
baseman John Sullivan (.375).
Standout pitcher Richard Vaught
(6-3) also returns.

Longwood's 1982 edition broke
virtually every team record on
the books while compiling a team

By CINDY CORELL
The 1982 Academic year at
Longwood College was
introduced formally and
traditionally Tuesday afternoon
at 4:30 in Jarman Auditorium
when Convocation and Senior
Capping ceremonies were held.
Following the procession of the
faculty members, all donned in

President Janet D. Greenwood
presided over the event and
welcomed Longwood back.
Senior Class president, Stephen
R. Myers introduced the speaker

Master's and his Doctorate from
Harvard University. He has
previously been employed by
Hamilton College in New York.
His speech Tuesday was on the
Pursuit of Excellence.
He began the speech by noting
that the topic, seemingly quite
self-evident, has merit of further
discussion, "...the pursuit of
excellence has not always and
everywhere been a dominent
societal value and even
when it has, it can wither and
decay with decidedly unfortunate
results." An example of this is a
United States railroad passenger
system, once second to none, now
reduced to a joke due to decrease
in quality.
Dr. Haltzel quoted "...one of
America's most perceptive
public servants" John Gardner,
warning of public attitudes in
pride of one's labor: "A society in
which people would rather be
poor philosophers than good
plumbers will have neither good
philosophers or good plumbers."
Along with societies, businesses,
and individuals, colleges must
also be careful not to let their
standards slip, nor their striving
for excellence to relax or they
must face up to the
consequences.
An encouraging note on this
topic, though is that-
"... excellence is the
universal highest common
denominator. ..if you do
something well, you will find
colleagues of like interests and
achievement and be recognized
as a member of a worthy group."
But aside from all social
attributes of the pursuit of
excellence, the individual glory is
perhaps the most important
reason for it. "The satisfaction of
running faster than you've ever
run before, or of figuring out a
difficult equation, or of
successfully finishing a piece of
research. ..all of these
accomplishments give you the
feeling of 'I can do it. I have done
it.' "
Despite the "moralistic,
visionary" quality of this idea.
Dr. Haltzel defended it as being
eminently practical. Habits
which come through striving for
excellence, such as diligence,
curiosity, self-discipline, and
pride are all very useful in our
lives of continual learning.
We as people sometimes expect
only philosophers and other
academic professionals to strive
for excellence, but on a personal
level, we all want the best. We
Faculty in full regalia proceed to convocation ceremony as students watch.
want the pilot of the airplane we
just boarded to be the best in his
field. None of us wants to know
that the surgeon standing above
us in the operating room skipped
classes in Medical school.
Therefore, should we not do our
best in all we attempt, if not for
ourselves, than for others?
Dr. Haltzel admitted to the
burden and sometimes pain of
this pursuit, "...but it's worth it!"
Every member of the college
community must sacrifice
something, mostly time with
family and friends, to be the best
that they possibly can be.
Although the pursuit of
excellence is just a justifiable
ambition, the speaker devoted
time to warn of "excellence
without ethics..." which "... is
sterile at best and evil at worst."
For example, the Berlin Wall is a
technically fabulous
achievement, used solely to keep
human beings from escaping
tyranny. Excellence was pur-
sued. Immorality was achieved,
achieved.
Bringing his speech home to
the Longwood audience. Dr.
Haltzel summarized the goal, and
how to prevent ideals from being
sacrificed. Two main points were
mentioned to carry this out. 1)
Consciously cultivate the spirit of
excellence and remove all
possible institutional barriers to
achieving it, and 2) Develop
habits of discipline and tenacity
of purpose.
"Students — take pride in your
work; bum the midnight oil if you
need to; proof-read that paper,
revise it if necessary; take that
difficult course — they're the
ones you will remember, not the
easy ones; run that extra mile.
Set your goals high!
"Professors — spend that extra
time with students; keep up your

Freshmen Orientation
Getting settled in on Friday
and starting to take advantage of
college life, the class of 1986
prepared for their four years of
college ahead with a week of
orientation.
It kicked off with a math
placement test which was
followed throughout the next five
days by several assemblies.
Advising was on Saturday and
registration began. Advising and
registration seemed to be the
most feared. However, all
seemed to survive without too
much worry — the biggest being
whether or not they would get the
additional classes they wanted.
The interest fair was held on
Library Mall on Sunday
afternoon. That evening on
Wheeler Mall there was the
colleague picnic.
Registration continued on
Monday, and the Honor Code
signing was that evening.
Afterwards, there was a
Freshman Ceremony, where the
colleagues gave their group
members gifts.
Tuesday, the last day of
orientation, started off with the
last assemb' , which included the
Ace Questionnaire. The day was
concluded at Convocation and a
picnic at the Longwood House
with the Good Guys playing for
the crowd.
The Good Guys performed for a passive crowd In tiie dell, Wednesday.

Above The Belt
By JOHNEL BROWN
Heroes. You see them with
broad-rimmed leather hats
walking into sunsets and one-
strap backpacks over their
shoulders and sometimes you see
them street-tough with crew cuts.
Swift kicks. Efficient. Fending
off bad guys. But you rarely see
them in Frazer dorm shifted into
a comer with a gray Longwood T-
shirt and gym shorts, caged in
blinds-stripped light. Farmville's
hero? She giggled shyly, covered
her face with her hands, and said
she didn't think so. Cindy Watson
is the National Amateur Athletes
Union Champion in Karate.
Why Karate? "I like the
fightin." But it wasn't always
that way. In a small town like
FarmviUe there wasn't much for
an introverted yet athletic ten-
year old to do, so she turned to
Karate — it became Cindy's
catalyst. Before, she was
painfully shy and when she began
Karate class under Ed Smith, she
huddled into a comer afraid to
speak to anyone. And how has she
changed? "I can talk to you."
Above all, Karate gave Cindy
self-confidence. Unlike the
martial-arts masters image,
Cindy is still shy. Only in the ring
does she become aggressive and
on the offensive — most of her
competitors wait for attack and
remain on the defensive.
Women in Karate — especially
women with black belts — are
branded as rough and tough and a
lot less than feminine. And yet a
Karate routine is much like the
routine of a gymnast with
concentration upon skill,
approach, form, and technique.
"To see someone perform who is
good at Karate is really
beautiful." According to Cindy,
in many ways Karate is much
like any other sport, involving
warm-ups, exercise and practice.
Besides the beauty of the sport,
and Karate's obvious self-defense
training, it builds enormous
concentration, control, agility
and speed.
On September 18th, Cindy will
head for New Jersey for the
World Championship Trials, and
if she does well there it's on to
Taiwan as a member of the
United States Team for the World
Championship. Although the U.S.
doesn't have a Karate Olympic
team yet, the AAU serves as the
possible threshold to the
Olympics.
Cindy coaches and judges
Karate competitions throughout
the state, and as a Physical
Education major eventually
hopes to open a Karate Studio of
her own. She enjoys working with
children. "Their concentration is
unbelievable and some of those
kids are just dynamite." Many
times at a tournament, kids come
up to her and ask about the
technique of a particular kick or
routine. It's very important to
Cindy to help them in any way
she can "because that's what a
true athlete is."
There are ten degrees to a
black belt and Cindy is at the
first. She works out daily and is
now being coached by Sam
Justice in Richmond, scheduling
Karate training around her
classes here at Longwood. She
tries to make it to Richmond two
or three times a week. Will she
make it to the tenth degree of her
black belt? "Danm, I reckon a
person would have arthritis by
then."
New Nukes
By GWEN STEPHENSON
July 16, 1945. The first atomic
bomb was detonated at
Alamogordo, New Mexico. The
device was assembled 200 miles
away, at Los Alamos National
Laboratory.
Augusts, 1945. An atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima,
Japan. 100,000 people died as a
result; 70,000 of them instantly.
Three days later, the city of
Nagasaki suffered the same fate.
August 27, 1982. Today I talked
to Dr. L.R. Fawcett, Jr., an
associate professor at Longwood
College, who teaches pre-
engineering and physics courses.
Dr. Fawcett spent this summer
and the one before working at Los
Alamos, New Mexico in the
National Laboratory. He is
working on a particular physics
problem, investigating the
transport (or passage) of
neutrons through Li D
(abbreviation for lithium
deuteride). He is working to
predict the amount of tritium
produced as a function of the
number of neutrons traveling
through the Li D.
The importance of this
experiment is in the tritium
produced. Tritium can be used as
a fuel in both nuclear weapons
design and in fusion power
reactors. Also, both tritium and
deuterium have the same
chemical properties as hydrogen.
It is possible that both fuels will
be used in fusion power reactors
in the future.
For those of us who are not
science buffs, Dr. Fawcett
explained the difference between
nuclear fission and nuclear
fusion. Fission, the process used
in atomic reactors of today, is the
act of splitting an atom. This
cleavage causes radioactive
particles to be produced in
reactor fuel rods. The used fuel
rods must then be disposed of
properly, so that life forms will
not be exposed to the harmful
radiation.
Fusion, on the other hand, is
the process by which atoms are
fused, or joined together. When
atoms are fused together, in a
controlled atmosphere, a small
amount of harmful radiation is
produced. Dr. Fawcett and his
colleagues are experimenting
with various aspects of nuclear
fusion. The importance of the
fusion process is that so much
less radiation is produced. Thus,
much less radiation must be
safely contained. The
experiments with fusion research
are being carried on at various
private industries and national
labs throughout the nation. The
Lawrence Livermore
Laboratory, the Sandia National
Lab in Albequerque, the Oak
Ridge National Lab in Tennessee
and the Argon National Lab in
Chicago are all working on
controlling nuclear fusion for the
development of electrical power.
Some of these national and
privately funded labs are
working with solar power,
geothermal power, hydro electric
power, wind power and power
from biomass in addition to
fusion power. Biomass is
anything which can be grown and
used for energy (corn in
gasahol).
Dr. Fawcett stated that we
cannot afford to wreck our
environment with the use of large
quantities of coal. We must find
and use alternative, cleaner
sources of energy.
In the doctor's opinion, solar
power is practical for heating
individual homes, but not for
providing electrical power to
large establishments and towns.
The vast amounts of land needed
for large solar collectors would
cause difficulties. He also says
hydroelectric power will
probably not be used to any

greater extent, because large different, competing, private
land masses would have to be
flooded.
Dr. Fawcett is hopeful that
the national budget cuts will not
bring too much pressure on
national laboratories. He feels
that the brilliant minds
assembled in the govemment
funded labs might be forced to
industries and so lose their
collective advantage. He hopes
that nuclear fusion, combined
with alternative sources of
energy will provide a new
reputation for Los Alamos
National Lab; a safer name; than
that which it gained on July 16,
1945. i

Editor's Turn
Students for Peace and Security started at Tuft
University last fall and has spread to at least five other
schools this year. The organization is devoted to
"favoring a strong national defense vis-a-vis the Soviet
Union."
A gay student group at Texas A and M University
says it will appeal a district court ruling that upheld the
University's right to deny the group campus
recognition.
There have been at least fifteen incidents of direct
confrontation between Zionists and Pro-Palestinian
groups on campuses across the country — Yale, Har-
vard and Ohio State to name a few. Even a number of
marijuana protests took place at the Universities of
Wisconsin, Illinois and Virginia this spring.
So what has been happening at Longwood. Well
apparently the no-banners-in-the-dining-hall is causing
quite a storm of student activism. At least one
anonymous author, outraged at the prospect of not
seeing the usual "Happy Birthday Jane Dopie" paper
scroll, hung 10 feet x 5 feet, from the dining hall
balcony, wrote in rage "we need that space for banners
displaying information and notices for it is the only
(underlined of course) place on campus with enough
room ... to spread information." Quite controversial,
I'm sure. Unfortunately being the conservative editor I
am, I will not print the letter.
Can you imagine. . . the Red 'N' Whites with the fury
and scourge of tradition behind them will host a rally
staged in Wheeler Mall. They will wear only banners
and will refuse to move unless this infringement of
students' rights is lifted. Meanwhile, the Green 'N'
Whites fresh with inspiration and willing to throw out
the baby and the bath water will call up the Campus
Police and inform them of the protest. The Campus
Police will load their revolvers and tear gas canisters.
They will call up Police Chief Neil Smith.
"Listen Neil ... we got a hot one . . . might want to
call in reinforcements . . . yeh, two hundred Red 'N'
Whites with nothing but banners on. Greenwood is
petrified. . . use nothing but rubber bullets. . .sure, no
one gets hurt . . . right."
The Campus police leave headquarters and can
hear the chants from Wheeler Mall —
Your Turn
An Earned
Thank You
"WE WANT BANNERS!" "WE WANT BAN-
NERS!"
"Remember Tom" (Tom is the old cop, with steady
hands and hawk eyes) "nobody gets hurt."
"Sure, Rick."
But Rick isn't so sure. Just as they enter the mall a
herd of Green 'N' Whites wearing nothing at all, flow out
of Jarman, brandishing baseball bats and hocky sticks.
"FREE THE BANNERS!" "FREE THE BAN-
NERS!"
A Red 'N' White goes down in the scuffle. Tom gets
into position. Rick reaches for his shoulder.
BANG!!!
Longwood. . . the Kent State of banners. No ... I
could not print that letter.

Dear Students:
It was my privilege to meet you
and work with you for the 1982
Orientation. The success of this
year's program depended on
your cooperation, your
willingness to work, and your
interest in helping the new
students. Each of you should feel
proud and satisfied with a job
well done. Your cheerfulness
in accepting tasks made
Orientation a happy time for the
entire College. Your attitude
gave us the assurance that you
were there which is essential to
any community effort, that is,
generosity of spirit.
Please accept the
congratulations and the thanks
which you earned so well.

Judas Priest is the letter perfect
heavy-metal band. All the way
from their leather and chains to
the fact that after 7 or so albums
(who counts anymore?), they
have only one album worth
listening to. That's their live one.
Unleashed in the East (Recorded
in Japan). Priest is the typical A
verse (vocals, chorus), B verse
(lead guitar), and back to A verse
band. Once in a while they will
venture into C, and sometimes
even Dl! But unless you are a
certified headbanger, Judas
Priest is nothing more than a
substitute for Nytol.
Surprise! Surprise! Screaming
for Vengeance on Columbia
Records unleashes the new Judas
Prieist. Don't get me wrong,
metal fans. Priest still dresses in
the same Hell's Angels leftovers,
and can still help you get that
beautiful "sting" that only metal
can give. The only difference is
that the sting is now a bum!
Screaming for Vengeance is a
killer. From the time I heard the
first cut "Electric Eye," I knew
this was going to be a good
album.
Guitarists K. K. Downing and
Glenn Tipton have finally learned
some new chords. And their lead?
These guys have obviously been
up late studying their "Star-
licks" tapes, and for the most
part, they get an A on the Randy
Rhoads (former guitarist for
Ozzy Osboume) crash course of
lead guitar. It's evident from the
first cut on Side A until the end of
Side B that these two have finally
given up their generic style
guitar licks, and are going
through the ever popular "I want
to be Eddie Van Halen" phase.
The guitar playing, and the
overall production of this album
are very slick. As for the lyrics, I
can't really tell you if they're any
good, because as usual you can't
understand them. It's probably
for the better, though.
To sum it all up. The Chris
Young Metal Institute gives these
guys an A for effort, A for guitar
playing, A for production, an
Incomplete for lyrics, and a
hardy pat on their leather clad
backs. Good going, guys. It's
about time!

standards and don't unwittingly
slide into an artificial grade
inflation; develop that new
course, ai\d be assured that this
administration will support your
striving for excellence in every
possible way.
"And adniinistrators — stay in
touch with all facets of college
life; maintain accessibility to
faculty members; don't take "the
easy way out" or be afraid to
"rock the boat" on crucial
decisions that are vital for the
future of the college. Represent
Longwood forcefully and proudly
throughout Virginia and
beyond."
A general observation and
valuable to all of us: "constantly
be self-critical!" We are all the
best judges of what we ourselves
can do; we must simply be honest
enough with ourselves to know it
and carry it through.
Longwood College is starting
anew. A new look and a new feel,
and Longwood has new
challenges for us all. Face those
challenges, says Dr. Haltzel, and
pursuing excellence will be
second-nature to you.

School Becomes

By MIKE LYNCH
Helped by the fact that he was
obviously backing the right cause
this time, President Reagan
managed to get a 98.3 billion
dollar tax bill passed by
Congress, keeping his string of
political victories alive. Mostly
composed of tax loophole closings
and not a great deal of personal
tax increases, the bill marked a
policy turnaround for Reagan,
who before this, would not have
dreamed of an increase.
But while Reagan made the big
switch, none of the hard liners in
Congress from each side really
did. His side just won the soft
ones over, with political favors if
necessary, as usual. New allies
such as Tip O'Neill and Ted
Kennedy appeared as well as new
enemies like Jack Kemp. But
after all the shuffling the bill still
passed 226-207.
On August 17th the New York
Stock Exchange had its busiest
day in history, experiencing
immense trading volume and the
most spectacular price rise ever.
The Dow Jones Industrial
Average had its most successful
day and week on record as it
finished up at 869.29 shares for
the week, up 81.24 points for the
week. The big day was August
17th when 132.69 shares were
traded and the bar stayed open
an hour late.
Major causes of the rush were
slowly declining interest rates
and words of wisdom from two
highly revered economic
forecasters, Albert Woljiner of
the First Boston investment firm
and Henry Kaufman of Salomon
Brothers. Normally having
nothing but nasty things to say
about the economy, they
suddenly came out with bright
outlooks, encouraging many of
their followers to go at it the
following week. But what really
spurred the action on was the
passage of Reagan's tax bill,
allowing investors a little more
faith in responsible handling of
the economy.
There was a losers' party in
Syria last week as the soldiers of
the Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization arrived there and in
other Arab countries. Having
resided in Lebanon for the past 12
years, the P.L.O. will now be
located in Syria, Tunisia, South
Yemen, North Yemen, Jordan
and Iraq. As the first 450 men left
for a stopover in Cyprus, their
comrades raised their weapons in
the air and fired in salute as they
must have done quite a bit during
the war to get themselves in the
fix they were in.
Evacuations will continue until
September 4 if all goes as planned
while a force of 800 Americans,
800 French, and 400 Italians will
keep an eye on things until
September 22. Yassar Arafat
plans to be the last to leave with
1000 of his Al Fatah commandos
for Tunisia. Credit Philip Habib
for much of the success. As
President Reagan said of the
special envoy, "Phil never lost
hope and in the end his spirit and
determination carried the day."
The children have gcme without
a glance back; shiffled out the
door. But the door has not closed.
At least not according to George
Stonikinis, the head of
Longwood's social work
department, who will assume
added responsibility as Director
of Special Projects and will
oversee the "Institute for
Advanced Studies and Regional
Resources", the new name for
Longwood's one time John P.
Wynne Campus School.
The whole idea behind the
facility, said Mr. Stonikinis, is to
provide a place, opportunity and
physical setting for faculty,
administrative and student
projects." Dr. Robert H.
Lehman, head of the Office of
Continuing Studies will also move
in to the former campus school.
The facility will hold
conferences and workshops for
both faculty and state agencies.
They will be as diverse as a 3 day
welfare training session to a Boy
Institute
Scout Merit Badge Conference.
Farmville's own acting troi4)e,
the Waterworks Players, has
already presented The Dnmkard
in the facility.
Mr. Stonikinis is optimistic
about the capabilities of such a
center. "If faculty members
along with community members
want to start a research project
on, say, rural policy, this place
would be the perfect meeting
ground. 300-400 people can be
accommodated here
comfortably. There is a cafeteria
and library, (one of the largest
children's libraries in the state)
classrooms and a gymnasium.
It's a good place to bring
influential people."
Office space will be available
for various faculty members who
are engaged in interdisciplinary
curriculum development or
research projects and in the area
of community services, there are
plans for family life education,
and public school resource
development and support. Also
plans are in the works to take the
former kindergarten room and
adapt it for use as a child care
center — "the physical layout is
great. "We need a wholistic
Attitude, a wholistic
approach... we need to get out of
our individual disciplines and
talk to each other. There is a real
need for more human interaction
like the kind seen and felt in the
'60's", said Mr. Stonikinis.
The audiovisual equipment
located in various classrooms
will be used for reviewing several
meetings going on at the same
time; or even by local high
schools for forensic meets... "the
possibilities are endless."
Mr. Stonikinis wants the center
to have an educational thrust in
view of its previous function, "I
don't have any doubt at all that
the best use of this facility is as
an educational center.. .it's sad
that the Campus School
closed... as it winds up, nobody
gets it at all — it belongs to
everybody."

Through a research grant from
the Longwood Foundation, a
sociology professor from
Longwood, Dr. Chester C.
Ballard, has planned to organize
a study to determine the effects
of federal budget cutbacks on the
Farmville area. The studies will
focus not only on how cutbacks
affect students, but also how they
affect the community, in all
aspects of life, including social
services, businesses, recreation,
family life, and religion. Most
studies focus one individual
program on year-long project.
Overall, the project will be a
community project of what the
cutbacks mean. His final goal is
to make people realize how
serious these cuts are, and to
make people see what is actually
taking place in Farmville.
Dr. Ballard is not taking on the
experiment by himself, however.
He has two positions available, in
which students can earn three
credits while they go through a
learning process at the same
time under Ballard's supervision.
The first position available is
one for a research assistant. In
this position, the learning activity
teaches one how to conduct a
social research program. The
responsibilities include
conducting interviews, assisting
in data collection and analysis,
and general project
organizational tasks. This
position is worth three credits.
The second position being
offered is for a student with
working knowledge of the college
computer system. Directed study
application of computer
techniques for social research is
the learning activity for this
position. The student will work on
a research project to be
conducted in the community
from its initial start in
September, through its con-
clusion in early December.
Anyone desiring more
information should contact Dr.
Ballard by calling 392-9277.
Anyone interested in applying for
a position should see Dr. Ballard
in his office. 207-C Hiner Hall.

Not Just Special Effects
Summer Movie Reviews
By DAVID S.AREFORD
If you were able to break
yourself away from the sun and
were able to dig up some money
this summer, you had the chance
to see a variety of movies. There
was a long list of films and more
than the average provided good
entertainment. The ranged from
Conan to Annie but the three
standouts were E.T., The World
According to Garp, and An
Officer and a Gentleman.
Of course, the moneymaker of
the summer was E.T. It was also
the summer's best movie. If thre
is such a thing as a "well-
rounded" movie this is it. In all
aspects this movie shines. It
contains exceptional acting,
story, effects, cinematography
and music.
Unlike other "blockbusters,"
Steven Spielberg has created a
movie in which the special effects
play second to the compassion,
humor, and friendship of a small
boy named Elliot and his extra-
terrestrial friend. The effects are
constantly there in the form of
"E.T." but the screen is filled not
with this technical achievement
but with an emotional one.
Spielberg mixes fantasy with
middle class life. He can present
amazing effects and at the same
time fill his story with a record of
current life — problems of
divorce. Star Wars
paraphernalia, video games.

suburbia. It is interesting to note
that the neighborhood in E.T. is
similar, if not the same, as the
one in Poltergeist, Spielberg's
other movie of the summer.
Spielberg brings his movies home
to his audience by saying that an
amazing event can occur next
door. The movie presents such a
current picture of life that we can
automatically connect. At one
point, one of Elliot's friends asks,
referring to "E.T.," "Can't he
just beam-up?" Elliot replies,
"This is reality." The movie
makes a conunent about itself.
Spielberg has a wonderful
appreciation for his youth and for
children. He realizes the

Office
By MELINDA DAY
The Office of Career Planning
and Placement, located on
second floor South Ruffner, is
now open for all students who are
seeking career information, job
opportunities, and assistance in
goals.
Niki Fallis, Director, and Joyce
Trent, Secretary, will be happy to
cooperate with all students. The
service provided by this office
are voluntary, so all students
should feel free to use them.
One such service provided by
the office, is that of career
seminars. These seminars are
open to all students and may be
requested. Two seminars to keep
in mind are: Career Night in
Business, November 8 — 7-8:30
p.m., located in Grainger Hall,
and Meal Manners and Proper
Attire, November 16 — 5:00 p.m.
— Virginia Room — Dinner
Meeting. The seminars are
sponsored by Miss Fallis, who
encourages all students to take
part. Students should always feel
free to request these seminars.
The Placement Office is also
available to students who are
seeking information about
scholarships, fellowships, and
internships. Miss Fallis is always
eager to help students in filling
out these applications and finding
out answers to questions the
student may have.
The office hours are from 8:%
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Come by the
office or set up an appointment
wtih Miss Fallis to discuss your
interests. All students are
encouraged to utilize this service
in order to have a more
rewarding and successful year.
adults are never seen and talk in
a warble, Spielberg enters the
child's world where adults are
distant as well as taller. The child
is not yet affected by the world
and is open to unbiased feeling.
E.T. is a combination of scenes
polished to perfection. For
instance: the scene in which
Elliot leads a class of students in
releasing the frogs in a science
lab. Movement is choreographed
with music and enhanced with
editing. Hands reach out of
windows in unison and release
frogs as we hear children chant,
"Back to the Woods . . ." The
scene is a small masterpiece in
itself. These scenes, like the
feeling, aching, and other fine
details within them, are like
small gems set into a remarkable
crown — which is E.T.
The World According to Garp
tells the stroy of T.S. Garp, a
writer who tries his hardest in a
strange world which is ours. It is
a great achievement for Robin
Williams who had to put aside his
improvisational skills for a
straight role. It seems as if the
part was made for him. Along
with Williams, the rest of the cast
is also suberb. The characters
become completely real and
three-dimensional thanks to
these acros: Mary Beth Hurt as
Garp's wife, Glenn Close as
Jenny Fields, his mother, and
John Lithgow as Roberta
Muldoon.
Along with its acting
achievement, the movie also
reaches a refreshing level of
compassion towards its
characters. Roberta Muldoon, for
example, the transsexual who

Workshop
The Art Department of
Longwood College will be
sponsoring a Virginia Museum
exhibition of prints from
California's Gemini G.E.L.
workshop from August twenty-
fifth through September tenth.
The exhibition is aimed at
showing the impact of technology
on printmaking. These prints are
varied in styles and imagery, and
range anywhere from studies in
geometric form to studies in
realism and abstraction. The
exhibition includes twenty-two
prints by six prominent
American artists: Ronald Davis,
Sam Francis, Roy Lichtenstein,
Ken Price, Edward Ruscha and
Frank Stella. Prints from this
workshop will be on view daily
from 9-12 noon, 1-5 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and 2-6 p.m.

was tightend for the Philadelphia
Eagles. At first, we snicker at
Roberta but as the movie
progresses we get to know her
and sympathize with her feelings.
We accept her as Garp accepts
her.
Garp is the kind of man we
don't see in the movies any-
more. He is a family man. He
loves his wife and his children.
He is sentimental and not afraid
to cry. He is affected by the
unpredictability of this world — a
dog bites his ear off when he is a
child, an airplane crashes
through his house, his mother is
assassinated, his son is killed in a
tragic car accident — but Garp
moves on. He relies on the
important things in life — the
people around him: his mother,
wife and children. His feelings for
his dead father thread the movie.
As a child, he imagines his father
as a great pilot and as Garp dies
in a helicopter carrying him to a
hospital, he tells his wife that he
is finally flying (like his father).
The humanity of his character is
a wonderful accomplishment by
Robin Williams and his original
creator, novelist John Irving.
An Officer and a Gentleman
deals with Zack Mayo who enrolls
in Naval Aviation Officer
Candidate School. He is at first a •
selfish, self-reliant loner but he
matures, falls in love and
discovers the people around him
and his responsibility to them.
The movie is at times
sentimental, romantic, corny,
but those things don't matter in
the shadow of its characters and
their progression. From the
female Officer Candidate who
struggles through the obstacle
course to Zack's best friend who
struggels with a relationshiip
with a girl and with his decision
to t>ecome a pilot, the audience is
treated to the confusion, defeat
and triumph of human beings.
The main story concerns Zack
and his relationship with a local
girl named Paula, played by
Debra Winger. Their relationship
lacks definition. There is no
stated commitment. But as Zack
matures so does his relationship.

Choral Department
News
By CINDY CORELL
The first week of college,
known for being one of the busiest
of the semester, has been
especially busy in Wygal, the
Music Building. Aside from the
normal activities, such as adding
classes and getting overrides for
registration, many students of all
majors were found deciding what
choral group to join and
auditioning for those that they
chose.
For only two semesters now,
there has been a choice of three
choirs to join. Aside from the
requirement to audition, though,
the three choirs are completely
different and the variety will
provide entertainment for
virtually everyone as well as an
opportunity to perform for those
interested in singing.
The Concert Choir, directed by
Mrs. Pauline Haga, is a group of
eighty to one hundred women
singers. They are featured in a
concert Oktoberfest weekend,
performing about forty-five
minutes of popular music.
The Camerata Singers are a
more select group of about forty,
directed by Dr. Lx)uard Egbert.
This choir, which includes
soprano, alto, tenor and bass, will
be touring for a week in October,
and they will perform in the
Renaissance dinner put on by the
Music Department every
December. More tenors and
basses are needed; anyone
interested should contact Dr.
Egtsert in the Music Building
before the last day to add a class.
The newest choir at Longwood,
The Lancer Edition, debuted this
past April at the reception for the
Inauguration of President Janet
D. Greenwood. The choir, also
directed by Dr. Egbert, consists
of fifteen singer-dancers and a
small ensemble accompaniment.
They will be performing on and
off campus and possibly at the
State Convention for the Music
Educators National Conference
in Richmond, VA.
El Greco Exhibit
The Art Department is
sponsoring a trip to see the El
Greco exhibit at National Gallery
in Washington, D. C, on
Saturday, September 4, 1982. The
Longwood bus will leave at 6 a.m.
from Bedford Building parking
lot and will return by 9 p.m. that
evening. Reservations must be
made by Thursday, September 2,
1982. All interested students
should see Mrs. Lane in the Art
Department Office to make their
reservations and pay an $8.75
transportation cost.

SPORTS
Soccer
Outlook
Longwood's 1982 soccer team
will likely have more talent and
experience than any squad in
history, but the Lancers may not
be able to duplicate last season's
11-4-3 record because of a beefed-
up schedule which includes five
Division I foes and eight tecjns
which were ranked in their region
last season.
Among the new faces on the
Lancer schedule are College
Division State Champ Radford
and Division I State Runner-up
William k Mary. Longwood will
also face Virginia Tech,
Randolph-Macon and Mt. St.
Mary's. Participants for this
year's third Longwood
Invitational are Virginia
Commonwealth, Richmond and
UNC-Charlotte.
"This will be the best team
ever at Longwood in terms of
talent and experience, but it will
be hard to duplicate last year's
record-setting season," says
fourth year head coach Rich
Posipanko. "The key to the
season could be how our new
players fit in at midfield."
Nine starters return from the
team which averaged 3.4 goals
per game in 1981. The forward
line should be strong again with
starters Gus Leal, Tim Brennan
and Steve Kern returning. Kern
and Leal are seniors while
Brennan is a junior. The trio
accounted for 34 goals last
season.
Newcomers Brian
Allmendinger and Clay Mullican
must join with All-State
performer BiU Foster (9 goals) to
give Longwood effective play at
midfield. Ail-American Darryl
Case, seniors Joe Parker and
Steve McGurl and sophomores
Scott Thoden and Randy
Niemeyer started last year at
back, but could be pushed by
newcomers Dan Bulxiis, Jerry
Carroll and Omar Fakhoury.
In goal, freshman Al Delmonte
will challenge veterans Brian
Sprinkle and D.J. Walters, who
did an excellent job last season.
The Lancers will have depth at
all positions.
Posipanko says his team has
three goals for 1982: (1) To win
the Longwood Invitational, (2) To
allow opponents one goal or less
per game and (3) To get a bid to
the NCAA Division II South
Regional Tournament. This year
there will be three berths open for
South Region teams. The
Longwood coach feels his team is
capable of earning one of those
berths.

In team batting the Lancers
rated 11th with a .338 team
average and in fielding
Longwood ranked 15th among
Division II schools with a .954
fielding percentage.
Sophomore Sonny Bolton, a
graduate of Gover Hill High

individuals in doubles. The
Lancers leftfielder ripped 15
doubles in 40 games.
The NCAA Division U baseball

play.
Coach Buddy Bolding has
announced that eight standout
prep athletes, including two All-
State performers, have cast their
lot with the Lancers' NCAA
Division II baseball program.
"This group of young men
should prove to be the most
outstanding freshman class of
baseball talent in Longwood
history," said Bolding. "I am
extremely pleased with our
recruiting."
Including in the group are two
All-State performers, catcher
Billy Catron of Roanoke-
Northside and first baseman
Chris Wilburn of Richmond-
Clover Hill. First team All-Metro

Abernathy of Richmond-Lee
Davis is also among the group of
signees. Of the eight recruits, six
are from the Richmond area.
Catron batted .440 at Northside
and played in the recent East-
West High School All-star game,
as did Wilburn, who hit .471 with
20 RBI's. Wilburn also made first
team All-Metro. Abernathy
batted .382 for Lee Davis, but
Bolding plans to make use of his
pitching talents as well.
The other five signees include:
Tommy Walsh, shortstop from
Lee Davis High School who made
second team All-Metro; Glenn
Mitchell, pitcher-outfielder from
Lee Davis who made honorable

THE ROTUNDA

ROTC News
By CINDY CORELL
When Longwood College ended
classes in May, many students
went out to find summer jobs,
summer loves and summer fun.
A few Longwood students,
however, found the summer more
than ordinary, as they attended
the various programs and camps
of the United States Army. These
were students in several levels of
the Reserved Officers Training
Corps (R.O.T.C.) here at
Longwood.
Five students were chosen
from Longwood's R.O.T.C.
program to attend the Army's
Airborne School. This is a
program to instruct paratrooping
held at Fort Benning, Ga. The
students Mike Moon, Dave
Dodd, Joe Bass, Derek Wolfe
and Todd Hunt, were
selected for this three week
program on how well they did on
their physical training tests and
on demonstration of excellence in
Military Science courses.
Each cadet in this program
made five jumps from the
airplane and successful
completion of the course awarded
them the Army Paratrooper
Badge.
Seventeen students completed
Advanced Camp, held in Fort
Bragg, N.C., for six weeks. This
camp is for R.O.T.C. cadets who
have finished their first year of
Advanced Military Science
Program.
One of the purposes of this
camp is to help the cadet make up
his or her mind about that branch
of the Army he or she is
interested in going into. There
are thirteen different branches,
sub-grouped into three main
headings: 1) Combat-actual
battle work, such as Infantry and
Tank crew. This is obviously the
most important, but groups 2)
Combat Support and 3) Combat
Service Support are needed to
provide background aid to those
soldiers in battle. These groups
include doctors, helicopter pilots,
and even Accountants. The
cadets learned more about
weapons firing, hand navigation,
and map and compass reading.
Probably the most exciting day
in Advanced Camp was Recondo
Day. This day was filled with
confidence testing experiences
such as rappelling off of a fifty
foot tower, climbing out on a rope
forty foot over a river and
dropping into it, and completing a
very thorough obstacle course. A
favorite event, though, was
encouragingly called the Slide for
Life. It consisted of a seventy foot
tower and a cable pulley attached
across a river. The cadet climbed
the tower, held onto the pulley,
slid down the cable for about one
hundred and fifty feet, and
dropped into the river.
Advanced Camp is required
training for those students in the
advanced Military Science
program. It provided an
excellent opportunity for
students to meet other cadets, as
over 130 colleges from Maine to
Puerto Rico were represented.
There were over 4000 cadets
there grouped into seventy-five
platoons and no two Longwood
students were put in the same
platoon. The students

vehicle to show off his talents. He
is very much a physical actor,
which is required in this film. In a
memorable scene where Drill
Instructor Sgt. Foley is punishing
Zack by trying to break him
phusically, Zack is doing leg-lifts
and the pain on Gere's face is
real, Foley asks him to give up
and leave the school and Gere's
cries of "No!" are powerful and
moving. Gere creates a moving
portrait and the changes in Zack
are real and complete.
David Keith also does a good
job as Zack's best friend. He has
had supporting roles in many
films such as Bnibaker <md The
Great Santinl. In all of them he
has done great acting. He
portrays, in this movie, a naive
Oklahoma boy who gets involved
with a deceiving girl friend of
Paula's. Hopefully Keith will
have the chance to prove himself
in a more major role in the
future.
Louis Gusset, Jr., as Drill
Instructor Sgt. Foley is
marvelous and true in his
portrayal. The "Drill Instructor"
is an old movie character, often
exaggerated and made fun of but
Foley is a man with a job and also
concern for the people he trains.
Human responsibility breaks
through the required toughness
when Foley dives into a pool to
save a trainee during an
exercise. It is a moment of
human caring.
The movie has also
accomplished a real and
noncritical picture of the
military. The military means
something to the characters. It
means reaching a goal and
achieving discipline in a mental
and physical way.
There is a similarity between
these three movies. Some would
call it "corny stuff." It is the
humor, compassion, and
relationships of being a human or
in "E.T.'s" case, being extra-
terrestrial. The popularity of
these films proves that the public
still enjoys movies filled with
feeling and cerebral effects, not
just special effects.

All of the students beyond
sophomore year who are
interested in the Military Science
benefits went to Basic Camp this
summer to catch them up on the
Military Science courses they
missed. This camp was held at
Fort Knox, Ky., for six weeks.
These cadets learned such things
as Marksmanship and drilling.
The students were: Ann Burruss,
Beth Wiley, Heidi Wilkerson,
Amy Shaffner, Steve Ewell,
Richard Durham, Mike Roff,
Carl Ellis, Buzz Hackett, Ross
Conner and Valerie Turner. Of
two cadets to receive
scholarships at Basic Camp,
Valerie Burner received a two
year scholarship for outstanding
performance, high grades and
high evaluation.
Some other Longwood students
received scholarships through
National Competition: Tom
Reynolds, Ann Burruss, Steve
Ewell, and Amy Shaffner
received two year scholarships.
Eddie Fetzner and Phil Harover
received three year scholarships.
Longwood's R.O.T.C. program
is at its largest enrollment ever.
There are more than two hundred
students enrolled in Military
Science classes now, compared to
less than fifty when the program
began. Some of the activities for
this year include canoeing,
rappelling off of Willis Mountain,
and off of a forty foot tower at
University of Richmond. There

According to Capt. Tom
Stanford, students have many
misconceptions of the R.O.T.C.
program. "These activities are
optional for those just enrolled in
a Military Science class. Students
seem to think that if you enroll in
a course you have to join the
Army and cut your hair." On the
contrary, these classes just offer
an opportunity to learn, explore,
build confidence, and decide on a
career, all of two hours of credit.
Should the student decide that the
Army is his or her way of life, he
or she can earn to up $100.00 a
month in the Advanced program.
Probably the most significant
event of Longwood's R.O.T.C.
program, though, came in May.
Capt's Tom Stanford and Roger
McHenry and S.F.C. Roy Thomas
all received the Army
Achievement Commendation for

excellence of Military Science

Hall Council Funds
Cause Misconceptions
By JOE JOHNSON
Confusion and chaos generally
reign supreme during check-in
and registration to the dorms.
This year was no exception.
However, outside of normal room
condition reports, pick-up of keys
and so on there was an item
which seems to have caused
exceptional confusion — a '5.00
dollar donation to the hall council
fund.
The fund was established this
year so that hall council, an
elected body of students from
each dorm would have a budget
to work with. The budget would
be used to finance dorm activities
for the students who have paid
the fee. The activities would
range from guest speakers to
canoe trips to pizza breaks during
exams.
Kathy Wilcox, one of the
advisors to hall council,
explained the reasons for
establishing the organization.
"Students are in the residence
hall more than they are in the
classroom. A lot of growth can
take place. The hall council will
sponsor activities that can be
recreational, social and
educational."
During a meeting with the
R.A.s held the Wednesday before
classes, Kathy explained hall
council and "informed (the
R.A.s) that the hall council fund
was strictly voluntary."
Unfortunately, during check in
and registration, many students
seemed to have missed the point.
Kevin Laser , from Frazer /
dormitory said "They just told
me I had to pay $5.00. I didn't
know what it was for."
Renee Ginader, who wrote a
letter to The Rotunda concerning
the incident said "After I went
through the checli in pro cess,
they told me there was a $5.00
activities fee. I asked if I could
pay later because I didn't have
my purse with me. I was told I
could pay later and I'd have to
pick up my keys later. So I
walked to the car and picked up
my purse. I didn't know what was
going on, since I was a transfer. I
just wanted to pay and get the
keys and go on."
The confusion in that incident
was not isolated. According to
Paige Tihlman, "Jim Scott
(resident supervisor for Frazer
dormitory) said I could not leave
the office with my key until I paid
my five dollars. I told him my
wallet was in mv car. He (Jim
Scott y said to get it" Darrell
Turney of Frazer also thought the
money was for a key deposit. "In
order to get our key, we had to
pay five dollars." Gary Lunsford
of Frazer said "They told me it
was for a key deposit. They didn't
say anything about dorm dues. I
paid the five dollars."
A number of students, although
informed that the five dollars was
for dorm activities were given
the impression that it was
mandatory, not voluntary. Mike
Atkins of Frazer said "When I
walked in they said I had to pay a
$5.00 dorm due... They told me it
was mandatory, nobody told me
it was voluntan* '.'Vicky Hale also
of Frazer said "When I checked
in, Jim Scott told me that it was a
mandatory fee. So I paid it. The
next day I talked to a girl in
Curry and she said it was
optional."
Jim Scott denied the
accusations saying "I never said
it was mandatory and I never
said it was for key deposit." Elise
Moore, Resident Supervisor for
North and Main Cunningham
added "I think everybody in all
the buildings said pretty much
the same thing. We asked the
people to pay a $5.00 hall fee and
we told them it wai^ for social,
recreational, and educational
programs for the dorms. Most
people seemed really receptive.
Nobody was told they had to pay.
However, we did not say it was
voluntary unless they asked. It's
something to benefit the students.
It's the way it was done at James
Madison, and I believe U.VA.
and V.P.I. The students were not
meant to think it was
mandatory."
Gary Gillis, an R.A. for Frazer
explained how someone could
have been mislead "there were
two of us at the desk. The
students came in and signed a
key receipt form. I picked it up,
checked their names and got
room condition reports. I would
then have the key in my hand and
say that we had a $5.00 dorm
dues."
Amy Campell, another R.A. for
Frazer said "When students
came in they had to fill
registration cards, residence hall
cards and a damage deposit
sheet. After they filled it out they
walked into the office. Then I said
to the students 'we are collecting
a $5.00 dorm dues fee, ' Nobody
asked where the money was
going. I never told them it was
voluntarv." When asked if other
R.A. s also gave out keys while
collecting the $5.00 she replied in
the affirmative.
Because of the misconceptions,
many students (largely
concentrated in Frazer
dormitory^.) have been asking
about refunds. But Kathy Wilcox
and Phyliss Mable, Vice-
President of Student Affairs feel
that a refund would not be in the
student's best interest. Phyliss
Mable said "My opinion is that
the fee is in their behalf, if we
start giving it back, it defeats the
purpose." A no-refund policy has
been established except for those
students moving off campus or
transferring to Stubbs
dormitories (which does not have
a Hall Council fee).
One student in Frazer,
however, has received a refund
on grounds other than leaving the
residence hall. Johnel Brown
explained what happened
"Before the dorm meeting, about
a week after school, I found out
that the $5.00 dorm dues was
strictly voluntary, and I went
down to talk to Jim Scott about
getting a refund. I said 'Jim, this
is the way I feel... my tuition just
went up, I'm rarely here on
weekends, I didn't know the fee
was strictly voluntary and I feel
that I've paid dues enough... I
want my $5.00 back'... And I got
it."
Jim Scott said "The very day
that she (Johnel) paid it, she
requested the refund and she
received it." When asked why she
received the refund in light of the
no-refund policy Jim Scott
answered "I don't remember
now, what it was... I honestly
don't remember." He added that
"no refunds are given out to
students who just thought the fee
was mandatory... as a rule of
thumb, no-refunds unless it is an
extreme situation."
Bookstore Gets New Owners
Along with the price of albums,
steak dinners and grass, student
books have escalated into the
double digits. But Kathy Orth and
Joyce Queensberry , new owners
of the Longwood bookstore,
remain undeterred. In fact, they
seem pleased with their new
found business, which, although
hit with inflation, has a certain
appeal for Longwood students.
"When you come in you see
something good," said the
owners. "Something that
represents Longwood . . . clothes,
stuffed animals (Longwood teddy
and the campus rat), glass ware
(Longwood shotglasses — the old
emblem with the dove) or
Longwood mugs. "People don't
have to ask for it. They can walk
right in and see it."
The outlay of the new
Longwood bookstore is generally
on that scheme — a high visibility
for the little extras and in the
back well, in the back are the
books, arranged according to
class number and teacher. The
object is convenience and an
easier traffic flow for the
students.
When a student opens a
textbook for $20.95 the general
impression is one of outrageous
profits for somebody. But
apparently the somebody is not
the bookstore owners. "You
really can't make money off of
textbooks ... the publisher prices
the book ... we get a little
discount. To break even, we've
got to have a 25 per cent discount
... we never get a 25 per cent
discount."
Of course that's assuming that
every textbook in the store is
bought, which is rarely the case.
The unsold books are returned to
the publishers who can give from
0 per cent to 100 per cent credit.
on the original price of the books.
"Usually, when the publishers
take them back, we lose about 5
percent to 10 percent on the
original price."

money, selling textbooks is more

NEWS BRIEFS
By MIKE LYNCH
After months of dismal
prospects and gloomy predictions
for the stock market, people have
started saying nice things about
the future in reaction to the
record setting buying ^ree of,
recent days. The peak day was,
August 26th when 138 million
shares were traded in the midst
of a four day surge of at least 100
miUion shares a day. Never
before this time has the NYSE
experienced a day of over 100
million shares. Only the
existence of modem computers,
which have sped up the
transaction process
considerably, made such
enormous figures possible.
The question, now, is since the
market has definitely gone bull
will it continue to behave
bullishly or is this all a bunch of
B.S.? Outside the terminals and
teleirfiones of Wall Street the real
world would seem to indicate the
latter. Auto sal^ reports are
embarrasing and unemploym«it
is still above 9 percent. But at
least from some\^ere outside the
White House, optimism has
appeared.
The Palestine Liberation
Organization is finally out of
Beirut, but several problems
remain. The I^Htsiilis and the
Syrians are still at each others
teeth and warfare between the
two, should Syria be dumb
enough to attempt it, seems
iminent. Neither side shows any
signs of leaving, which
complicates matters further.
Also unwilling to leave their
present places of residence are
5,000 P.L.O. troops in Tripoli,
which is Syrian controlled.
Add to this the threat of civil
war between the Lebanese
themselves, the possibility of
harm to 800 nice American
Marines, the fact that all parties
concerned, especially Israel and
Syria, arc- getting quite surley
about the whole thing and you get
a nice mess that only the U.S.
government would get involved
in.
And what's worse is that due to
everybody having something to
say whenever possible, the real
problam is hardly discussed; that
is, what to do with the
Pillestinians. Realistically, that
problem should take years and
until it's solved, the Ispealis wiD
probably just keep crunching
whoever is stupid enough to go up
against them.
Warlord. Power-Hungry.
Puppet. How would you like it if
people said things like that about
you. Well, that is the kind of
harrasment Bashir Gemayal, 34,
leader of the Christian Militias
and Phalongist Party in Lebanon,
has been getting in the aftermath
of his election to the presidency of
that nation. Having won the
election by a Parliamentary vote
of 57-0 (nobody else ran), he will
take power in late Septemt)er
from former President Ellas
Sorhis.
The main worries among
Gemayals exponents have to doj
with the violent tactics that hej
might carry over to the
government from his days (tf
running a reputedly viciou$
military organization. When
Bashir says "heads will roll" is
he just using a figure of speech?
How he won the election seems to
be an indication that he will not
-change. When not enough
deputies were present for the
vote, the needed amount were
searched out and "convinced"
that their attendance of the
election would be beneficial.
His opponents are mostly
Muslim and although they have
taken no ()^uight stand against
him, they do believe that he is an
Isii«eli puppet and their policy,

If you thought your room mate
was a mooch, consider the case of
Mexico. In no more than ten
years, due to carelessness by
both the Mexicans and the banks
that lent to them the country is
now ^ billion in the hole with
virtually no way to pay the debt
or the interest off in the near
future. Believing that they could
cash in on the oil boom but
ultimately entering the market at
its lousiest, Mexico's debt
doubled in the last three years as
American and other banks kept
shoveling it out.
Mexico is not the only country
in this kind of situation, though.
Argentina is in so much debt that
it would take every bit of their
export profits to repay. Other
nations in similar situations
include Brazil, Venezuela, South
Korea, Poland, Chile and the
BiiUppines. In total, over $845
billion has been lent out by banks
to countries that will have a good
deal of trouble repaying them at
least. As a result, many banks
both here and atsxwd c(Nild go
under although a general banking
collapse seems unlikely.
Another witness against Labor
Secretary Raymond Donavan
was murdered while driving his
car through the Bronx. The
victim, Nat Masseli, 31, was shot
once in the head by an assasin-
who escaped in a following car. It
was not he who was so dangerous
to Donovan that he had to be shot,
but rather his father, William
(Billy the Butcher) Masselli who
is serving time in jail for
hijacking and is thus safely out of
the mobs reach.
In a re-opened probe accusing
Donovan of having made deals
with organized crime when he
was part owner of the Schiavone
Construction Company, Masselli
offered damaging evidence to
Special Federal Prosecutor Leon
Silverman, having to do with
getting a $20,000 kickback on a
$200,000 loan. Investigators think
that the younger Mosselli was
killed in order to assure silence
from the elder Masselli, who is to
appear before a grand jury soon,
in accordance with the case.

From (te Campus Report
The typical college student
owns three pairs of athletic
shoes, watches television
infrequently, and relies on
newspapers and magazines for
information.
Those are some of the results of
a national study of students at 25
campuses conducted by Belden
Associates for CASS Student
Advertising, a national ad
representative for college
newspapers. The purpose of the
scientifically conducted study
was to evaluate the college
market, the student newspaper
audience and the buying habits of
college students. The majority
(77 per cent) of those surveyed
fell into the traditional college
age group, 18-24.
Eighty-three percent said they
read a college newspaper, while
64 percent read a daily city
paper. Time captured 41 percoit
of the survey audience, while
Newsweek claimed 30 percent in
readership. Favorite monthly
magazines included Playboy (24
percent). Cosmopolitan (23
percent) Glamour (20 percent)
and Rolling Stone (19 percent).
Thirty-six percent said they
hadn't watched any television the
previous day, whUe 38 percent
had viewed one to three hours of
television. Radio was a popular
activity — only 11 percent hadn't
listened to any radio the previous
day — but 78 percent said radio-
listening serves as background
activity.
College students may be in a
hurry, but most take time to snip
coupons. Seventy-four percent
had purchased an item with a
coupon in the past year, and 36
percent had mailed in rebate
offers. Aside from junk food and
alcoholic beverages, students
listed milk, cheese, orange juice,
soft drinks, canned soups,
breakfast cereals, peanut butter
and yogurt as prime purchases.
An amazing 98 percent of
students surveyed own athletic
shoes, and the average number of
pairs owned was three. Moving
up on the transportation scale, 59
percent own a car, and 13 percent
plan to buy a car within the next
year. Photography is a popular
hobby: Forty-nine percent are
serious enough about it to own
35mm cameras. Seventy percent
of students own stereos and 98
percent attend movies.
Kor alinost half of those
surveyed, St^e money used to
make these purchases came from
their own pockets. Forty-seven
percent said their discretionary
funds came from their own job or
other income, and not from
parents. Almost 90 percent had
checking accounts, 64 percent
had savings accounts and 19
percent had a Visa credit card.

"Another Person"
I met another person this
summer. Not the only other
person I met, but one of them. He
looked amazingly like one of the
Doors; almost like Jim Morrison.
He had long hair — shoulder
length — viYach he informed me
had just recently been cut. His
favorite attire was a faded blue
T-shirt, faded Levis, cowboy
boots and sun glasses — always
sun glasses.
The day I talked to him he was
wearing that outfit, cleaning his
Harley-Davidson Sportster.
Apparently the in colors were red
and black. "All my friends have
red and black bikes this summer,
blue used to be in... but it got
boring."
His friends look like him too.
Some wear T-shirts that say
something — Master-Slave — Fm
his — I'm hers, etc. The only
other similarity, besides
superficial resemblence, is that
they all worked in a machine
shop.
' 'The MX missile systems is big
business... We can take near
worthless scraps of metal and
when they come out of our plant,
they're worth up to $25,0001
apiece."
He turned on the hose to rinse
his bike. "Don't you ever worry
about the arms build-up?" "I
guess so... I don't know. I used to
be really into the peace
movement thing... Vietnam, all
that, I was out there with the
crowds, hooting and really
raising hell about it."
"Doesn't it bother you that
what you're doing could end in
holocaust?"
"No, not really. Look, they'll
never use what I'm making, it's
just a show of muscle.. .sure it's a
little like playing with the
dragon's tail, but it's got to be
done, somebodies going to do it if
I don't"
"And the pay?"
"The pay is great."

Face Off
Coppola And Capital
Punishment
Your Turn
It has always been my opinion
that one of the jobs of the head
resident and other members of
the residence hall staff is to
establish an atmosphere of
honesty and trust and
cooperation between themselves
and the members of the residence
hall. Trust is also, as I
understand it, an integral part of
Longwood's Honor Code.
Therefore, when I am lied to by a
member of the residence hall
staff, it does cast a cynical light
on his system of trust we here at
Longwood are supposed to be
living under.
Of what incident am I
speaking?
As a resident of Frazer Hall,
when I was checking in, I was
informed that I was to pay a $5.00
activity fee. I was also informed
that this fee was mandatory and
if I did not pay it I would not be
given my room key.
Since that day I have been
informed that the fee was not
mandatory but optional and I can
only assume that the threat about
the keys was a form of blackmail
that was thought effective by the
Frazer residence hall staff,
which, indeed it was.Now I agree
that five dollars is not a lot of
money but the money is not the
issue here. The issue is that I was
lied to and that I was denied my
freedom of choice in this case.
This bothers me since being over
18 years of age I believe I have
the mental capacity to make a
decision of this kind.
I also think that being over 18 1
should have the right to decide
what to do with my own money.
Thirdly I am an honest person
and I do not think it is too much to
expect honesty in my dealings
with others.
I know for a fact that this letter
expresses not only my opinion but
the opinion of numerous others in
Frazer Hall.
So get your act together Frazer
Renee Ginader
So Coppola is dead, a martyr
and a murderer — does it matter
which? He made the books by
being «.. executed in the state of
Virginia. And the living have
some questions to answer. Was it
worth his life? Does the state, any
state have such a right?
Practically and ideally capital
punishment is a mistake.
Practically speaking, capital
punishment is suinrased to act as
a deterrent, but Uie facts in other
states prove different.
In the Gregg vs. Georgia
decision (July, 1976) the United
States Supren^ Court opened the
door to the death chambo's which
furman vs. Georgia (June 1972)
had closed. As it affirmed the
constitutionality of some
executions, the high court
conceded also that there was no
conclusive evidence that the use
of capital puniidmient caused any
net reductions in murder.
Since 1924, Greorgia has legally
executed more people than any
other state. Year after year it has
also had the most murders. 17.4
per its 100,000 population, a
percentage persistently
mounting. When five years of
litigation ended in 1972, with the
threat of the death penalty being
definitely removed, many people
predicted that Georgia's
unmatched rate of criminal
hiHnicides would rise faster.
It didn't. In fact, according to
the Federal Bureau of
Investigation's uniform crime
reports, from 1973 to 1977 the rate
dropped from 17.4 per 100,000 to
11.7 per 100,000 or more than 30
percent.
In Florida when capital
punislunent was banned, the
same type of results were
evident. From 1973 to 1977 there
was a one-third (approximately
33 percent) drop in the homicidal
rate.
Capital punishment does not
and never will act as a deterrent,
in fact, it seems to act as a spark
to the homicidal rate. The answer
to this irony may be found in
Socrate's analogy of the state as
parent. If we, as willing members
of the state condone execution,
we are more or less like parents,
setting an example for children
— one can kill. Before, without
the death penalty there is a

Elections Committee
Lisa Swackhammer, Chairman
Frank Coppola has
become a household word and
through oblique reports and
melodramatic appeals to our
sense of humanity, a sort of hero
ar martyr has emerged. There
have been pictures of the electric
chair and detailed explanations
of how an execution is carried
out. There have even been
accounts of (Coppola's donation of
his eyes to science because he
held such compassion for
mankind. Might I remind you
that this man is a convicted
murderer?
Does anybody remember the
name Muriel Hatchell? (Who? ! ! )
Just for the record, she was one
of those people Coppola cared
about so selflessly. It was her
home that Coppola and three
Cohorts broke into. She was the
woman who Coppola tied up and
whose head was smashed on the
floor. She was the woman whose
five teeth were found where
they'd been knocked out of her
mouth. Muriel Hatchell was the
woman who went into
convulsions and drowned in her
own vomit.
Somehow identities have been
shifted and because of
psychologically schemed
coverage, people began to
sympathize with the criminal,
and oddly enough he is staged as
the victim.
Once again capital punishment
is the issue and Virginia is
divided. Opponents of capital
punishment insist that the
proponents are barbaric and lack
concern for human life.Au
contraire. It is appropriate to
point out that it is the lives of the
victims and the would-be victuns
that the proponents of capital
punishment are concerned with.
Everyone is united in the cause to
find the infalUble deterrent to
crime. Opponents of capital
punishment insist that prison is
the answer. Prison-term
sentencing has become a farce in
itself, since life in prison 50 years
and 25 means 10, maybe less if a
criminal opts to bargain with
justice. And even if prisoners
were required to serve the entire
term as sentenced, it is important
to consider the 72 percent
recidivism rate. Seventy-two
percent — that is 72 percent of
incarcerated criminals released
to the prison for similar or even
worse violations. And as far as
convicted criminals guilty of
brutal, vile murders, what then
do the opponents suggest? Life in
prison? Or is that 25 years? And
how does 25 years — that's 9125
weeks — even remotely justify
the massacre of another innocent
human life. Even the quick death
of the electric chair can never be
punishment enough for the
merciless butcherings that take
place.
Then there's famous but quite
worn cliche "two wrongs don't
make a right." I suppose then

THE ROTUNDA Tuesday, September 7, 1982
Welcome, Lancer Edition
By Cindy Corell
Following the footsteps and
beyond of such celebrated college
show choirs as The New
Virginians and The Madisonians,
Longwood's own Lancer Edition
is picking up where it left off in
May and moving still forward.
The Music Department's
youngest performance company
finally came to be last semester
into an area of music still being
pioneered across America.
Though primarily titled a show
choir, Lancer Edition is a
combination of show choir and
vocal jazz ensemble. A show
choir performs contemporary
music in a Broadway chorus line
setting; a vocal jazz ensemble
performs much more difficult
music with simpler
choreography. Lancer Edition
performs popular music such as
a Fame medley and
"Jubilation", with eye<;atching
choreography and costume plus
more creative vocal jazz
numbers, such as those by Phil
Mattson and Kirby Shaw, which
require more talent and
discipline from the members
than would the format of an
ordinary show choir.
Unlike the other Longwood
choirs, Lancer Edition will be
doing a complete variety of pop,
blues, gospel and jazz styles of
music plus choreography.
Though at this time in the
semester they are developing a
routine which includes all of the
above styles of music plus dance,
they are neither a group of
singers who dance, nor are they a
dance company who just happen
to sing. Instead they are a group
of performers who do both arts
justice.
Basically the way the choir
works, according to director Lee
Egbert, is that the students learn
to sing the music, and then
student choreographers take
over to finish the show. Their
rehearsals are at regular
classtimes, late Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons. They will
also be working with several
experienced choreographers
from the Virginia Beach area to
insure variety in dancing styles.
Their performances this
semester include an Oktoberfest
concert and they are now
awaiting confirmation of an
invitation to play at the State
Convention of the Virginia Music
Educators Association (VMEA)
this November in Richmond.
Brand new show choirs from Old
Dominion University and
Roanoke College will also be
performing there.
For this performance. Lancer
Edition will be backed by the
Longwood Jazz Ensemble
directed by Mr. Allen Butler. The
choir hopes to gradually grow
into building their own
instrumental combo with the help
of Mr. Butler. Their
accompaniment now consists of
pianist, guitarist, two
percussionists, and they are
looking for competent bass
players to audition. They also
need more mens' voices to
audition.
The group, in auditions, take all
majors and though some dance
and a little sightreading is
required of all singer-dancers,
singing is the primary ability
tested. The roster of the 1982 fall
semester Lancer Edition is as
follows: Soprano. Sabra Seneff,
Lisa Bowers, Louise Rizzo, Sonja
Held and Joanne Mosca; Alto;
Brenda Davis, Amy Thomas,
Kathy Hartung, and Kim
Kenworthy; Tenor: John Scott,
Jeff Thomas, Mike Pentall, and
Mike Berry; and bass: Gordon
Parr, Horace Scruggs, and Mike
Foster. Jeanne Drewer is pianist,
David Pool, guitarist, and
percussionists are Arthur
Johnson and Ricky Allen.
Archeology Field
School Begins
New Excavations
By GEREE LYELL
"It's near disbelieve that
Longwood College students could
be lured into a situation where
they would be performing the
most ardousbndexhausting forms
of physical labor, while at the
s^'me time being expected to
exercise their intellectual
abilities, and all of this in one
hundred degree, temperatures
with hordes of mosquitoes
buzzing around their ears" . . .
said Dr. James William Jordan,
director of the Longwood
Summer Field School. But the
students came for over
10 weeks forming their own
"miniature city."
Now in its fourth year of
existence, the Longwood
Summer Field School in
Archeology has grown from a
group of 13 students who worked
five weeks during the summer of
1980 at an archeological site
located in the Cumberland State
Forest to a crew of 125 who
worked during this summer at a
site located near the Longwood
campus. Thirty-three of the 125-
member crew were Longwood
students; 48 were Governor's
School Mudents, high school
juniors selected for , their
outstanding academic record in
Virginia schools; and 44 were
participants in the Elderhostel
Program, persons ranging in age
from 65 years to 86 years who
were attending summer school at
Longwood.
In the field both sessions of
summer school. Dr. Jordan
began excavation at the Smith-
Taylor Mound site. The site,
located approximately 1^ miles
from the Longwood campus on
the Appomattox River, is
believed to have been an
agricultural village used by
Indians living in this area 1000
years ago, and has been
registered with the Virginia
Research Center for Archaeology
at Williamsburg as Site Number
44PE26. The existence of the
mound site was first brought to
Dr. Jordan's attention by Robert
E. Taylor, a Farmville
businessman and close friend of
the landowner, Robert A. Smith.
Mr. Smith entered into an
agreement with Longwood
College and Dr. Jordan, giving
the Field School permission to
begin excavation of the mound.
He developed a keen intereste in
the preparations for the "dig"
and as time drew near for the
excavation to begin, became
more enthusiastic. An ironic and

tragic aspect of this part of the
story is that Mr. Smith died June
3, just two days after work at his
archeological site began.
During their work this summer
at the Smith-Taylor Mound Site,
participants found nine types of
projectile points, ranging in age
from 8000 years before the
present to as recently as 300
years ago. The most valuable
find was a Dalton projectile
point, 8000 years old, and the only
one found in this area —
Piedmont archeological region of
Virginia. In addition, many other
stone blades and tools were found
along with 600 sherds (pieces) of
pottery. The Archeology Field
School was assisted this summer
by members of Longwood
College's first Summer Field
School in Biology, directed by Dr.
David A. Breil. The Biology Field

Hypnotize Me,
Please
By GWEN STEPHENSON
"Hypnotize me, please."
"God, what a wierd
business !" That's what Tom
Deluca had to say about his job;
comedian and hypnotist on the
United States college circuit.
Mr. Deluca was here at
Longwood last Wednesday night.
He performed for Vh hours in
Wygal Avditorium to a full house.
And the audience participation
was unusual. You see Tom
hypnotized eleven of our own
student body. He called the
process somnambulism, and
claimed that one hour under his
spell would produce an effect
similar to eight hours of
untroubled sleep. He made the
students believe they were
extremely hot, and then very
cold. He took them out on the
Caribbean; fishing. Some of the
girls in the group squealed at
having to bait a hook. They cast
their lines; and the ones in the
deepest trances had to be
physically restrained from
falling out of their chairs. Each
person caught a huge fish, and
reeled it in as fast as they could.
Mr. Deluca then passed around
an imaginary joint, and told the
students they could partake if
they wished. Approximately nine
of the eleven did so, and promptly
became "high" on some of the
finest Columbian ever. Tom
suggested that each person had
an incredible case of the
munchies and gave them thirty
seconds to eat as much as they
could of their favorite food
(which was sitting on the floor in
front of them, of course).
The master of hypnosis
concluded his show by regressing
each of his subjects to the age of
five. Two of the girls proceded to
draw flowers and houses on the
blackboard (very childlike
flowers and houses), and one of
the male subjects drew an
incredible picture of a nuclear
holocaust (complete with a
needle-nosed bomber). He asked
each "child" what they wanted to
be when they grew up, and got
various familiar and uncommon
answers, such as stewardess.
doctor, and archeologist!
Before Deluca let the subjects
wake up and return to their seats
he put various hypnotic
suggestions into their heads, une
poor male kept insisting that his
name really was Mary Jane. The
rest of the audience enjoyed this
thoroughly. One girl could not
remember her name at all, and
three others could speak
normally until they were asked
their names — then their tongues
seemed stuck to the roofs of their
mouths. Mr. Deluca ended
spectacularly by having four of
his subjects turn into famous
exotic dancers at the mention of
the word, "Chicago".
In addition to his hypnotic
exhibition, Tom Deluca also did a
fantastic and funny comic parody
on ESP. His particular brand was
called BSP (Figure that one out
yourselves). He included a slide
show satire on how he became
influenced by extraterestrials in
his youth, and thus became an
expert in BSP. Tom promised his
audience that if they linked arms
he could make 60-70 percent of
them think the same thought at
the same time.
"One; close your eyes. Two;
everyone think of somethins you
like to do a lot!" Need I say
more?
Talking to Tom after the show
was over, I could tell he was
exhausted but happy. The
students at Longwood had
received him very well, but he
told me that did not happen at
every school. His job has definite
highs and lows.
I discovered that Tom has a
Masters degree in psychology,
and started his work in hypnosis
working with overweight people
and chain smokers. He still
teaches an occasional seminar on
self -hypnosis. He also writes
comedy material for the artists of
the Second City Workshop in
Chicago.
Tom Deluca said he is
comparably one of the best
hypnotists in the business. I think
the Longwood students who saw
him would agree.

Ten Little Indians
By CHRIS YOUNG
On September 25, 1980,
drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham
was found dead at guitarist
Jimmy Page's home after an all
night drinking spree.
Shortly afterwards, the
remaining members of the band
sent a telegram to the press. It
stated:
"We wish it to be known that
the loss of our dear friend and the
deep respect we have for his
family, together with the sense of
undivided harmony felt by
ourselves and our manager, have
led us to decide that we could not
continue as we were." ( Parade
Magazine)
With this news, the
phenomenon known as Led
Zeppelin was now a memory.
Since the death of Bonham,
everyone has been keeping an
eye on the boys hoping that they
might regroup. Rumor had it that
Zepp members Page and singer
Robert Plant were to join with X-
Yes members Alan White and
Chris Squire to form XYZ. (X-
Yes and Zepplin members, I
guess) That rumor never
materialized into anything
substantial.
Recently however, there has
been some stirring in Zeppeland.
Jinuny Page has written and
produced the sound track for
Death Wish n. And more notably,
vocalist Robert Plant has just
released a solo album called
Pictures at Eleven on the Swan
Song label.
By now most of you have
probably heard several cuts from
this album. For those of you who
haven't Plant is stunning as
usual. New guitarist Robbie
Blunt is good, but he's no Jimmy
Page. The biggest difference
you'll notice (or should notice) is
the drumming. This album has
two great drummers, Phil Collins
(Genesis) and Cozey Powell
(Rainbow, Michael Schenker
Band), but only the cuts with
Powell have that vintage
Bonham "thump." Pictures is
still a must for any Zeppemaniac.
Except for a recent live
appearance by Page and Plant
with, believe it or not, Foreigner,
it doesn't look like the Zepp boys
have been doing anything to
revive Led Zeppelin. And it
doesn't look like they want to
either.
As Jinuny Page said in a recent
interview "It would be silly to
even think about going on with
Zeppelin; It would have been an
insult to John."

Booters Open With Longwood Invitational
Longwood opens its 1982 soccer
season Saturday (Sept. 11) when
it hosts Divison I Richmond,
Virginia Commonwealth and
North Carolina-Charlotte in the
third Longwood Invitational
Tournament. The tournament
will mark the beginning of what
Lancer Coach Rich Posipanko

Todd Captures
Two Tennis Titles
Longwood senior John Todd, a
member of the men's tennis team
the past two years, was the lone
double winner in the second
Longwood-Southside Tennis
Classic held at Longwood
Thursday through Sunday. None
of the defending champions who
won last September were able to
repeat.
Todd took a hard-fought, three
set win over Jerry Cole to win the
men's singles title Sunday
afternoon 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 and then
teamed with Longwood doubles
partner Bryan Kersey to win the
men's doubles over Cole and
Dozer Watkins 6-4, 7-5. Todd won
doubles last year with a different
partner.
In winning the doubles Todd
and Kersey battled back in the
second set after being down 5-2.
They won five straight games to
take the match.
In women's doubles Fran
Arehart and Nan O'Connor, both
of Farmville, pulled off
something of a surprise by
topping the defending champs
Angie Coppedge and Joan Tipton
6-3, 6-2. Tipton and Coppedge had
been seeded number one.
Mrs. Tipton, however, added
another title when she teamed
with Dean Vassar to defeat
Longwood students Carl Schwab
and Tammy Schmelter 6-3, 1-6, 6-
3 in the mixed doubles finals.
In junior vet men's (35 and
over) singles Jerry Yospln
topped Howard Estes 6-2, 6-1 to
take the crown.
Tournament Director Carrol

Longwood will have more
talent and experience than any
squad in history, but still might
have difficult time matching last
year's 11-4-3 record because of a
beefed-up scheudle. Among the
1982 opponents are five Divison I
teams and eight foes which were
ranked in their region last year.
Among the new faces on the
Lancer schedule are College
Division State Champ Radford
and Division I State Runner-up
Williams & Mary. Longwood will
also face Virginia Tech,
Randolph-Macon, Maryland
Baltimore County and Mt. St.
Mary's.
Nine steers return from the
team which averaged 3.4 goals
per game in 1981. The forward
line should be strong again with
starters Gus Leal and Tim
Brennan back in action. Leal, All-
South in 1981, scored 22 goals and
has 40 in his career. Brennan
scored eight goals last season.
Freshman Brian Allmendinger
or sophomore Chris Wilkerson
will also start at forward.
At midfield, veterans Steve
Kern and Bill Foster will be
joined by either freshman Clay
Mullican or soph Rich
Schmidgall .Foster, a l(mg range
kicker, had nine goals last
season.
Starting at back will be
veterans Darryl Case, Joe
Parker and Scott Thoden along
with freshman Dan Bubnis.
Parker is co<:«)ptain of the team
along with Foster while Case was
All-South and second team
Division II Ail-American last
season.
In goal, freshman Al Del Monte
appears to have the edge on
talented veterans Brian Sprinkle
and D.J. Walters.
Longwood will be out to capture

the defending champs will be
missing top golfer Tammie
Green, runner-up the last 2 years
to medalist Mary Wilkinson of
William & Mary. Both Green and
Wilkinson have graduated.
Marshall should be considered
the favorite once again,
according to Longwood coach
Barbara Smith, but any of the
tournament competitors appears
capable of challenging for the
Utle.
Leading the way for Longwood
for the 4th year in a row will be
senior Robin Andrews. A two-
time AIAW Division II All-
Tennis Coach
Named
Beatrice White, special
education teacher and boys'
tennis coach at Prince Edward
County High School, will be
interim coach of Longwood
College's women's tennis team
for the fall season, Longwood
Athletic Director Carolyn Hodges
announced today.
A native of FarmviUe and a
graduate of Prince Edward
BEATRICE WHm
County High School, White takes
over the coaching duties from
Carrol Bruce who is taking a one
semester leave of absence. Bruce .
will resume her duties as tennis
coach for the spring, 1983 season.
Since coming to Prince Edward
High in 1960, White has led her
teams to a pair of outstanding
seasons. The Eagles were
runner-ups in the Regional
Championships last year and in
1981 one of her netters won the
State Class A singles crown.
White is a graduate of Virginia
State University where she
received a B.S. in Special
Education. While at Virginia
State, she played number one on
the women's tennis team two
years. She participated in
basketball and softball at Prince
Edward. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James H. White, Sr.
(rf Farmville.
"We're fortunate to have
■omeone of Ms. White's ability to
coach our women's tennis team
during the fall season," said
Hodges. "She is certainly well-
qualified for the position."

American, Andrews helped
Longwood finish second and third
in the nation in Division II the
past two years. Over the summer
she finished as runner-up behind
Jane Mack of Richmond in the
Virginia State Amateur
Tournament.
Also back from last season are
junior Sue Morgan and
sophomores Donna Turner and
Lanie Gerken. Morgan made the
top four most of last season while
Gerken performed weU early last
fall before being knocked out by
an injury. She appears healthy
after sitting out spring semester.
Coach Smith, who has led
Longwood to six state titles over
the past 12 years, is counting on
freshman Holli Hudson to fill one
of the top four po.sitions. Hudson
had a standout high schcol career
at Brandon High, wnich has one
of the top prep golf programs in
Florida.
Other newcomers to the team
include: freshmen Mary
Semones and Margaret Melone
and sophomore Carol Rhoades.
Concerning Longwood's
prospects for the coming season,
Dr. Smith pointed to a tough
schedule which includes mostly
Division I opponents.
"We're facing a Division I
schedule," she said. "There just
aren't many Division II teams
nearby for us to play."
Now in NCAA Division II,
Longwood will not have a
national Division II Tournament
to shoot for as was the case in
AIAW. The NCAA plans to hold a
Division I Tournament only in
women's golf with several spots willing to learn and want to
open to individual qualifiers in improve. This seems to be a very
Divisions n and m. coachable group and I feel we'll

The riding team had a fairly
large number of interested riders
at tryouts last week. Twelve
people competed for one of the
four positions available on the
team. Longwood can expect to
see some talented new riders at
up-coming shows based on the
performance of these 12 people.
Coach Whitlock has not made a
final decision and is extending
tryouts another day to do so.
Good luck to you all.
Longwood will co-host the first
show at Mary Washington

even the slightest chance that yet

senseless slayings of human hfe.

the dating of wood in an
archeological site by the analysis
of the annual growth rings.
Commenting on this sununer's
excavation. Dr. Jordan said
"While the amount of work
accomplished by the crew was
staggering, their efforts during
these first ten weeks were
dwarfed by the tremendous size
of the site. The site covers an
area of 100,800 square feet and
this first summer 4,125 feet were
excavated, or about 4 percent of
the site. At that rate, it would
take 25 more summer sessions to
complete excavation of the
mound!" Dr. Jordan has secured
permission from Mrs. Robert A.
Smith, the property owner, to
continue work on the mound next
summer. "I anticipate a rather
good sunmier for the Field School
during 1983," Jordan said.
In addition to the Smith-Taylor
Mound Site, other archeological
excavations were carried out this
summer. Bob Flippen, a George
Washington University student
and Dr. Jordan's assistant this
summer, conducted two
excavations pf his own as part of
his archeological internship.

School students, Flippen
excavated what is believed to be
a 200-year-old ice house on the
Hampden-Sydney College
campus and an isolated grave
located at the Rose Bower
Vineyards in Hampden-Sydney,
Virginia. Dr. Jordan is of the
opinion that sites in this area are
numerous and stated that "we
have literally and figuratively
just scratched the surface!"
During both sessions of the
Field School, a field trip to
Clarksville to view collections of
artifacts was made. These trips
were arranged by Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse R. Overstreet, Jr., and
coordinated with Dr. Jordan.
Mrs. Overstreet is a member of
the Board of Visitors of
Longwood College.
Among the 211 visitors at the
Smith-Taylor Mound was the
entire Board of Visitors of
Longwood and Robert E. Taylor,
who was a frequent visitor. On
one particular day there were 71
people working on the mound. Dr.
Jordan was heard to remark "I

people to have been on this
mound since JOOO years ago when
prehistoric Indians were here."

Student Financial Aides
By EDWARD M. ELMENDORF
Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Student Financial Assistance
Newspaper, radio, and
television reports of substantial
cuts in Federal financial aid to
college students have triggered a
barrage of phone calls to the U. S.
Department of Education in
Washington, D. C.
Callers, both students and
parents, are often confused by
misleading or incomplete in-
formation. Many have expressed
fear that the government has let
them down; that college is no
longer affordable.
It is true that student financial
assistance programs have
undergone considerable change
in the past two years. There have
been some reductions. Most of
the changes, however, reflect an
effort to return the aid programs
to their original purpose, which
was to help students cover the
cost of a college education — not
to carry the whole burden. A
successful return to original
intent will help ensure the
survival of these aid programs
for future students.
Federal financial assistance is
divided into three categories.
"Grants" are awards of money
that do not have to be paid back.
"Loans" are borrowed money
which a student must repay with
interest. "Work-Study" provides
the chance to work and earn
money to offset coUcie coits
while attending clasots.
The Pell Grant Program is one
of the best known of the Federal
student aid programs. Formerly
called the Basic Educational
Opportunity Grant, Pell is often
the first source of a;d in a
package which may be composed
of other Federal and non-Federal
sources. In the 1982-83 school
year, 2.55 million students hare
$2,279,040,000 in Pell Grants.
The U. S. Department of
Education uses a standard
formula to determine who
qualifies for Pell Grants.
Students should contact the
college financial aid
administrator to apply on the free
"Application for Federal Student
Aid." This is the form used for all
Federal student aid programs.
The Department guarantees that
each participating school will
receive the money it needs to pay
Pell Grants to eligible students.
The Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant provides
another mechanism for making
awards to students. SEOG is
different from the Pell Grant in
that it is managed by the
financial aid administrator of
each participating college. Each
school receives a set amount of
money from the Department and
when that money is gone, there
are no more SEOG funds for the
year.
In 1982-83 the Department of
Education will provide 440,000
students with $278,400,000 in
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants. Students
will get up to $2,000 a year under
this program.
Grant programs are designed
to help the most needy students
get a college education. The Pell
Grant, in particular, is targeted
to help those students whose
families earn less than $12,000
per year. Grant aid is not meant
to cover all college costs but is
expected to be combined with a
reasonable contribution from the
student's family and individual
self help generally in the form of
loans, private scholarships, and
work.
Another type of student
financial assistance is the College
Work-Study Program. Designed
to provide on-or off-campus jobs
for undergraduate and graduate
students who need financial -
assistance, Work-Study is usually
managed by the college financial
aid administrator. Some 950,000
students will receive $528 million
under this program in 1982-83.
A great deal of publicity has
been generated lately on Federal
student loans, particularly the
National Direct Student Loan
Program. Although all colleges
do not participate in the NDSL
program, 3,340 of them do. This
program makes available low
interest (5 percent loans that
students must begin repaying six
months after completing school
(either by graduating, leaving, or
dropping below half-time status).
Up to 10 years is allowed to repay
the loan. Application is made to a
school's financial aid
administrator who manages the
loan fund. The fund is a revolving
account, designed to allow a
school to continually make new
loans as existing loans are
reapid. About 800,000 students
will receive NDSLs in 1982-83;
10,000 more than in 1981-82.
Recently, Secretary of
Education T. H. Bell signed a
regulation which provides
incentives for an institution to
reduce the default rate of its
NDSL program fund. A college
which has a default rate over 25
per cent is asked to turn
responsibility for collecting the
debt over to the Federal
government. If an institution is
not prepared to do this, and the
default rate remains 25 per cent
or more, the Federal government
will cut off NDSL funding.
The Guaranteed Student Loan
(Continued on Page 3)
Rub-A-Dub-Dub
Steve Heinzman had one word
for the situation — "sucks". That
word seems to sum up what quite
a few Longwood students feel
about the three to a room, or
tripling policy which is currently
being forced on over 100
freshmen residing in the
dormitories.
Although this is not the first
time tripling has occurred at
Longwood, it is the first time
tripling has ccurred to such a
large extent. Normally, tripling
occurs only in a few rooms, but
this year the situation has
doubled even tripled in degree
(pardon the pun). The reasons for
this are manifold.
The first and foremost —
Dr. Greenwood instructed
admissions to continue admitting
even after full capacity had been
reached. A number (3 dozen) of
summer school students who took
courses to see if they could attend
Longwood regularly (conditional
on grade outcome) passed and
entered the dormitories at the
last minute. And then, of course,
the late comers who would
normally have been turned away
were allowed in.
Why did Dr. Greenwood allow
students to continue filling
already packed dorms?
Apparently a lot of it has to do
with the 5 percent budget cut. As
the price of housing the student
soars and tuition hikes; one
method of keeping down housing
expenses (presumably for
everyone involved a' la trickle
dorm economics) is to pack the
rooms and not expand the
already inflated student rental
income (about 54(X dollars per
semester). Another reason
involves the fact that Longwood
is a state institution. Because the
expenses have gotten so high in
private institutions. Dr.
Greenwood feels a certain
obligation to allow those students
to come to the state run
institutions at a lesser expense.
The outlook for the student is
one of bearing the burden of the
budget — which they seem to be
doing — although in some cases
none too happily. "There's not
enough privacy.. .it's really
difficult in the morning taking a
shower — especially when we all
have morning classes." The
problems of privacy become even
more complicated when 2 closets
and 2 desks per three person
room is consideres. "It makes
you appreciate the library a lot
more, at least there it's private
and you have room to work".
Freflhmen learn to live tripled in Cox.
Although technical problems of
space and bathroom use are a
serious threshold, the largest
hump to cross is personality
conflicts. "Two people tend to
gang up on a third member —
there are always the buddies and
then the outsider"... "If you don't
watch yourself you can be at
sombody's throat." On the other
side of the spectrum "if you don't
like one, you always have another
to choose from."
The dining hall seems to be
coping with the overrun of
students alright. Mr. Pronesti
said "The first two weeks was
bad, because registration was in
the lower dining, but now it's
O.K. — breakfast, lunch and
dinner go smooth as usual."
Something of a compensation is
being offered to the students.
After the first 6 weeks, if the
students are still tripled, they will
receive a 10 percent refund on
their housing fee, or about $54.00
said Mr. Thomas Nanzig.
To cope with tne tripling
problems students are advised to
talk with each other and work out
any hassles among themselves.

NEWS BRIEFS
WUTA
In his finest foreign policy
speech to date, President Reagan
pledged full U.S. and personal
support to lasting peace in the
Middle East, hopefully acquired
through the future renewal of
talks on Palestinian autonomy.
The President outlined several
proposals towards the
fullfillment of these objectives
which basically call of Israel to
five the Palestinians land while
everyone else promises to make
nice with Israel.
Specifically, Reagan has asked
Israel to freeze their settlemtnts
in occupied territories and not to
annex them, presumably in
preparation for turning them
over to the Palestinians. The
West Bank and the Gaza Strip are
targeted as future Palestine
governed sited although the
question of whether or not these
lands will be considered
Palestinian homelands or not was
basically avoided. Jordan's King
Hussein was requested by
Reagan to be present at the
proposed talks and probably will
be if his fellow Arabs approve.
The only thing Israel liked was
the proposal for talks. Giving
land to people who had better be
nice to them whether they have
any land or not just didn't make
too much sense to Begin and his
buddies so they rejected the
whole deal. The Arabs, especially
the P.L.O., would just love to
have some land, so although the
plan did not give them everything
By MKE LYNCH
that they wanted, they were
generally optimistic about it.
Solidarity celebrated its second
and possibly its last birthday, last
week, as 65,000 protesters, a
relatively small number, had it
out with police in cities all over
the country. The police made it
clear that this time, they were not
screwing around as they fired
tear gas, water cannons and
percussion grenades at groups of
as few as ten protesters.
In Gdansk, crowds behind
barriers lasted more than ten
hours against the police, with a
civilian death resulting, while in
Lubin the militia opened fire on a
crowd in response to being
assailed by bricks and gas
bombs. They got two of 'em.
But while violence was
accomplished, little else was. The
huge crowds that had been
expected to show unified support
for the union and consequently
scare the police in to leaving
them alone, were not there.
People are starting to think about
their health instead of the union's
and as a result. Solidarity is
crumbling.
President Reagan's stiff tactics
with dissenters to his ideas
finally brought him em-
barrassment, last week, as he
had to reverse a decision to get
tough on companies that allowed
American technological devices
to be used on the Soviet gas
pipeline. Last month as a result
of two French companies
Notes
StUl Alive
shipping American compressors
to Russia, Reagan banned the
export of anything at all to the
guilty parties from the U.S. This
action caused outrage in Europe
where several countries were
already committed to do the
same thing the French ones had
done. And since European
countries, unlike air-traffic
controllers, do not just go away,
Reagan had to soften up on his
punishments when a British
corporation sent American
turbine parts to the Russians.
This time, the ban will be just
for oil and gas equipment, which
has already made the Europeans
a lot happier, but they still want
the bans dropped altogether.

To put it bluntly, the Rolling
Stones are the Cheryl Tiegs of
Rock and Roll.
"What??" you say!
"Cheryl Tiegs??" you say!
"Hey, that young guy must be
crazy!"
But I'm totally serious.
"CHERYL TIEGS??!?"
'fraid so. You see, there's like
this girl named Cheryl Tiegs, and
like whatever she puts her name
on sells a million, and like do you
get my drift? The Stones are
blessed with what is called King
Midasness. It means: Whatever
you touch .shall tumeth into gold
(or even platinum!)
So basically what you do is get
a couple a guys together, strick
up a t>and, and stick around for
about, say 20 years, and you get
the IVlidas touch.
What I've been trying to say is
this: The Stones are incredible,
and have such a following that
they could release an album
containing The All Sports Band's
Greatest Hits, and it would go
platinum. It's very simple When
you're the greatest, you can do
anything, and it's great. And
along with Led Zeppelin and the
Beatles, The Stones are the
greatest.
So their new live album Still
Life is great, whether it's great or
not.
The Stones start out by playing
a recording of Duke Ellington's
'Tm Beginning to See the Light"
and "Take the A Train." Then
they come on stage and break
into Under My Thumb. This
album has some other oldies like
Time Is On My Side, Let's Spend
the Night Together, Shattered,
and Satisfaction. The later two
sound kind of sick.
There are also some new cuts
like Start Me Up (from Tatto
You) and their new single Going
to a Go Go. It's kind of hard to
describe this album. Some of it's
bad, and some of it's great. It's
just so incredible to think that one
l)and can be so big, and so
incredible, and so old!
So to sum Still Ufe up, I'd have
to say it's great. What else can I
say — except, The Stones are
definately here to stay.

Face Off
Replies on Capital Punishment
There I was, on top of Lankford balcony, a Chi banner mth "Good
Luck" written on it flapping overhead. The columns rose vertically on
each side — waist high. Before me lay the throngs of people waiting for
the moment . . . waiting, waiting.
The crowd sparkled in the dying sun. Alpha Sigma Alphas, Alpha
Sigma Taus, Kappa Deltas . . . clanking coffee cans, pot lids, frisbees
flew by^.and in the back the girls in white waited for the moment . . .
waited, waited.
Niki Fallis began her speech, "These women have been working
very hard for this special night," her pink Izod expanded with pride. A
cheer went up. The girls stood before the door, below the balcony.
"Working with you has been a real pleasure." You could feel the
tension, it soaked through the skin, the twilight tingled . . . waited,
waited.
Rush chairman, Stephanie Ibenez, took the microphone and
climbed upon a steel wicker chair. The crowd went wild. Bang clank,
clank, Zeta Tau Alpha, yeah, Sigma clank clank Sigma, Sigma, yeh,
rah, yeah!!! Flashes went off, speckling the already kaleidoscopic
scene, the yelling slowed and finally hushed, girls milled nervously
back and forth among their own sororities. The first name was read.
She walked out from below the balcony with a dignified poise, like
Miss America trying to impress Bob Barker. You could almost hear
the^play by play.
Kathy Engelbertievica, a young girl from Petty, Tennessee, has
been remarliable at the parties, hasn't she Don — a real drinker I
understand.
Yes, apparently, the quarter s champion for Zonkered High, has
really laid away the girls at the invitational parties. Her technique is
simple — start slow but steady — it's really killer, Howard.
And here she is again demonstrating that steadfast certainty
which makes her the champ she is. Notice her eyes — straight ahead,
no one knows what's going on in her mind.
Wait. She's beginning to make her move now ladies and gen-
tlemen. Kappa Delta is starting to justle and turn, she's eyeing them,
now breaking into a slow trot. What a feign to the left!
The crowd is going wild. Phi Mu is beginning to cheer.
Look at that straight 25-yard dash Don! What speed! Yes — it's going
to be a definite Phi Mu — ladies and gentleman! ! '
The Kazoos could be heard as the last "walk" entered Stubbs. I
kicked an old balloon across Stubbs n^all and picked up a discarded
beer can. They began taking down the Good Luck^anner. Everybody
had left except one girl sitting in a steel wickered chair in front of
Lankford. She had a red sorority dress on. "Why aren't you in Stubbs
partying," I asked. "I'm waiting" she said.
"For what?"
"I'm waiting to be left alone."
Your Turn
Most murder victims never
know that they are going to be
killed. On the other hand, most
men (and in a few cases, women)
who are sentenced to death in this
country, do know that they will
die, usually on what day, at what
time. And if a stay of execution is
granted, they have more time to
wait, in tiny cubicles on Death
Row.
Caryl Chessman was arrested
in California in January, 1948, for
kidnapping, a crime he
repeatedly insisted he did not
commit. He spent 12 years in San
Quentin's Death Row, writing his
own appeals and three best
selling tx)oks on the American
prison system as a dehumanizing
school of crime, and against
capital punishment.
On the day he was executed in
May 1960, he wrote lawyer
George T. Davis this letter:
Dear George,
Now my long struggle is over.
Yours isn't. This barbarous
senseless practice of capital
punishment, will continue. In our
society other men will go on
taking that last walk to death
until . . . when? Until the citizens
of this state and this land are
made aware of its futility. Until
they realize that retributive
justice is not justice at all.
I die with the burning hope that
my case and my death will
contribute to this awareness, this
realization. I know that you will
personally do all in your power,
as citizen and lawyer, to convince
your fellows that justice is not
served, but conpounded, by
vengence and executioners.
Good Luck.
Capital punishment might be a
solution to our overcrowded
prisons if, as the writer in the last
issue puts it "Used uniformly,
with extensive regulation and
consideration ..."
The trouble is, our courts don't
have time to give each case
extensive consideration, and
prove guilt beyond reasonable
doubt. Therefore we will go on
executing men, possibly without
cause, because we are human
and humans are fallible. Perhaps
we should leave Judgement Day
to God. Gwen Stephenson

Tri-Mates
V.
This year at Longwood many
freshmen are experiencing the
Tri-Mate syndrome. What is the
Tri-Mate syndrome? It's not a
fraternity or a sorority but it does
deal with sharing partying, and
friendship. Tri-Mate was
established by the director of
housing and its basic concept is
the stuffing of three people into a
box like room meant for two. Yes,
Tri-Mate is short for triple
rooming.
The Tri-Mate syndrome has
had many different effects on
freshmen. Living on a freshman
hall full of triples I've seen and
heard the laughter and tears
coming from the various rooms.
The majority of the triples get
along with no problems. The guys
have the least problems due to
the fact that they are rarely in
their rooms and when they are
there they are usually asleep.
The girls however, are a different
case, they have problems with
gentlemen visitors, drinking and
smoking. These problems are
rare but they do exist. The
problems usually are about
where to put the numerous hair
dryers and hot curlers, sharing
the mirror in the bathroom, and
who gets the single bed instead of
the bunks. Some girls do have
other problems. For example,
getting up in the morning only to
find all her underwear has been
frozen or waking up after a nap to
find herself and her bed wrapped
in plastic wrap. These problems
are all in fun of course.
The freshmen that are now
experiencing the Tri-Mate
syndrome are all in agreement
about one thing. This one thing
can be summed up by a
statement made by one of the Tri-
Mates, "we all get along pretty
well, good, but come mid-term
we better get that 10 percent
refund.
Gray Granger
America has a major crime
problem. In 1980 there were
23,000 murders and 82,000 women
forceably raped. Violent crime
rose eleven percent from 1979 to
1980. There is a murder every
twenty-three minutes and a
forceable rape every six minutes.
Americans spend twenty-six
billion dollars each year to
support prisoners in state and
federal prisons.
The issue of capital punishment
has been side-tracked on the
basis of morality, but it must be
viewed from a practical
standpoint. Recently there was
an article printed in THE
ROTUNDA concerning the idea
that "practically and ideally
capital punishment is a
mistake." Ideally, all citizens of
a society would be willing to
abide by its laws and thus remove
the need for any forms of
pufiishment. Unfortunately it
doesn't work that way.
The article was written from
the standpoint that capital
punishment does not deter crime.
The reason that capital
punishment does not appear to
deter others from committing
capital crimes is because
criminals run only a slight risk of
being punished and they know it.
If capital punishment were to
become a very real possibility,
then it would act as a form of
deterrent.
There are several very sound
reasons to uphold capital
punishment. One, which has
already been noted is the
economics of the situation.
Americans cannot afford to
maintain the number of
criminals which already fill our
institutions. If capital
punishment were to become a
very real part of the system and
put into practice it would cut the
cost of maintaining a criminal for
the duration of his life.
Secondly, if capital punishment
were to be used it would cut the
tragic percentage of seventy
percent of those who are released
from prison (often due to
overcrowding) who commit the
same or new crimes.
Finally, there is this thought;
"we cheapen the value of human
life if an innocent victim dies
while his convicted murderer
lives." NancvA.Paschall
Financial Aid
(Continued from Page 1)
Program, much in the news
lately, makes available low
inerest loans to students, with the
Federal government paying the
interest while a student is in
school. These loans are made by
a lender (such as a bank, credit
union, or savings and loan
association) and insured by
either the Federal government or
a State Guarantee Agency. This,
the largest student aid program,
win make available over $9.5
billion in loans during the 1982-83
school year.
Undergraduate students can
borrow up to $2,500 a year and
graduate students can borrow up
to $5,000 under GSL. The total
debt an undergraduate can carry
is $12,500. For graduate or
professional study this figure is
$25,000. A student borrower
whose family income is less than
$30,000 automatically qualifies
for an interest-subsidized loan.

^DandyDon'andHisSnakes
ByDAVm S. AREFORD
Gripping his favorite putter,
the golfer concentrates on the
hole about six feet away. Sweat
drips down his back and along his
forehead. It's been a hard day.
He takes the putter back and then
taps the bail, but he has heard a
noise and the ball is moving too
fast, stopping just beyond the
hole. Mumbling, he walks toward
the ball, eyeing his partner, but
his friend gives no impression of
causing the noise or even of
having heard it. He taps the ,
three-incher in and bends down
grabbing the ball angrily. He
looks across the adjacent road
where the swamp begins, but
sees and hears nothign unusual.
He walks away. It's been a hard
day. But he gives a last look.
There is something lurking in the
swamp. He sees a human arm, a
flash of silver. He is frightened.
He quickly walks away. The
Legend spreads. That night at the
bar, over his bourbon, he tells of
the thing in the swamp.
If he had looked more closely,
he would have found something
unusual but not strange: A man
looking for snakes with his silver
clasper. (Could it be Marlin
Perkins? But Mutual of Omaha's
"Wild Kingdom" was canceled,
wasn't it?) To Longwood College
he is known as Dr. Donald Merkle
or "Dandy Don" as his students
sometimes fondly refer to him,
assistant professor of biology.
■ But why is this man in this golf-
ridden swamp near the Newport
News Park Golf Course?
For two years. Dr. Merkle has
been researching and gathering
samples of the Cottonmouth
Water Moccasin. Along with
samples from the park in
Newport News along the James,
he has also gathered samples of
this poisonous snake from
Seashore State Park, Gum
Swamp on the North Landing
River, Northwest River, and
Hopewell along the Appomattox
River. Hopewell is the closest
area to Farmville where the
cottonmouth exists. The
amphibious snakes in our area
are non-poisonous and simply
called "water snakes." Merkle
also explored other rivers and
areas in the Coastal Plain.
Dr. Merkle is interested in
biogeographic barriers to animal
population, or what happens to
the genetic make-up of a
population of animals when they
are isolated. Some isolated
populations of animals and also
plants can change so much as to
become a totally different
species. This can often be seen,
but sometimes two animals can
look exactly the same and have a
completely different genetic
make-up within.
In August, Dr. Merkle
presented a paper at the joint
meetings of the Society for the
Study of Amphibians and
Reptiles (SSAR) and the Her-
petologists' League, held in
Raleigh, N. C. The paper was
entitled "Genetic variation in the
Cottonmouth Water Moccasin
Agklstrodon Piscivorous at the
northern edge of its distrubition."
The "northern edge" being the
James River.
Merkle found that there is
relatively little genetic variation
between Virginia populations of
this snake, but the variation that
was discovered helps to explain
the origin of populations found in
the Peninsula between the James
and York Rivers.
It seems that the populations of
the cottonmouth north of the
James River are derived from
ancestors that crossed the
narrow stretches of the river
near Hopewell rather than across
the approximately 6 mile stretch
of the James downstream near
Newport News. The assumption
had been that since they were
amphibious they had simply
crossed near Newport News but
this was incorrect. Dr. Merkle
also concluded that the snakes
used to live all over the coastal
plain but had been wiped out by
climatic and other natural
changes as well as changes
brought about by man.
Merkle collected over fifty
samples and then began the
tedious work of laboratory
research. This involved taking
samples of organs, isolating
enzymes, and electrophoresis
which is the separation of
proteins based on charge. From
this last process, the exact
genetic make-up of each snake
was found. Then the populations
from the five areas mentioned
above were compared by genetic
make-up. Merkle, at present, is
preparing his paper for
publication. Computer data will
back up his findings.
During Merkle's two years of
research for this paper, his trips
to swamps and rivers were
numerous. They usually began at
sunrise and ended at sunset. Not
all those days yielded samples of
snakes, though. A few times,
Merkle returned "bare-bagged."
He often went on these excursions
alone. On hearing this, this
reporter couldn't help but
compare Merkle's situation to the
many literary symbols of modem
man's existential condition:
Alone and fighting for survival.
Merkle smiled, chuckling inside
as if saying silently, "You are a
young man" or "Talking about
the Unknown is different than
walking in it." Merkle faced
some bleak mom^ts in his
research. Even though the
conunercial leads you to believe
otherwise, Merkle summed up
his situation when he said, "Off in
a swamp with mosquitoes lasts
about seven minutes."
An experience of Merkle's may
make his position of risk clearer:
While canoeing in the canal
through Gum Swamp, Merkle
spied a baby spotted turtle on a
log (it is rare to find them when
young) and reached for it having
to use both arms. Suddenly the
canoe overturned sending Merkle
and his equipment below. He
resurfaced but was unable to turn
"Art Work- Art Play"
Farmville, Va. - "Art Work-
Art Play," an exhibition of 39
works by nine Ohio artists, will be
on view in Farmville beginning
September 15. The show is
touring selected Virginia
communities under the auspices
of the Virginia Museum, and is
sponsored locally by the Art
Dept., Longwood College. It will
be on view at Bedford Gallery
through October 8.
"Art Work-Art Play" was
organized by the Ohio Foundation
on the Arts under a reciprocal
agreement with Virginia.
Virginia has organized three
exhibitions to tour within its own
borders and one for each of two
other states, Utah and Ohio.
"Implicit in the exhibition's
title is the notion that work and
play can be synonymous in the
eyes of both artist and audience,"
says Dr. Ruth K. Meyer,
Executive Director of the Ohio
Foundation.
To say that something is a work
of art immediately confers
dignity and quality on the
object," she says. "But within the
context of contemporary art
criticism such judgments
occasionally appear to be too
hastily made, too forced by the
circumstances of self-
justification."
Instead, suppose there were a
new category called "a play of
art," she suggests. "Thus we
could acknowledge that the artist
has been 'playing around' with an
idea, and that while that idea
may be worthy of quite serious
consideration, the creative
attitude may have been
extremely capricious."
Some of the works in the
exhibition are overtly comic,
some ironic and some deadpan.
Humor was not the goal. Dr.
Meyer says. "Rather, we sought
expressions of a playful attitude
encompassing a range of artistic
intentions."
Each of the nine artists has
received an Ohio Arts Council
fellowship under Ohio's Aid to
Individual Artists program, the
second largest in the nation.
The Ohio exhibition is one of
more than 90 offered by the
Virginia Museum's TEAMS
department to a wide range of
nonprofit organizations
throughout the Commonwealth.
The exhibition will be on view
in Bedford Gallery Sept. 15-Oct.

the boat right-side up without
pulling it under, thus the last
resort was to swim pulling the
canoe behind with the tow line in
his mouth. Reaching a solid bank
(the canal's walls are composed
of mud), Merkle climbed out of
the water only in time to watch
his wedding ring slide off his
finger into the depths of muck.
Earlier, when the boat
overturned, he also lost his
watch. On an earlier research
trip, he also lost his college ring
in the North River that flows into
the Mississippi.
Of course, the significance is
not his loss of jewelry but his near
loss of life. But the researcher is
often alone — in the field, in the
lab. You can picture a man over
his microscope along in the
middle of the night. It is often one
man's cause or vision.
After my conversation with Dr.
Merkle, I helped him carry the
canoe, which he used for his trips,
outside behind Jeffers
Auditorium. He had borrowed it
from the P.E. Department and
had to clean it out and return it.
Giving him a hand, I realized he
often carried it alone. Yes, he told
me, he carried it over his head. It
was filled with twigs and sand. I
left him alone as he hosed out the
debris of his trips to the rivers
and swamps.

Your Turn
Lift- the Ban
on Banners
In response to the "Ban of
Banners:"
First, I would like to say that
the Dining Hall looks good. The
paint is tasteful and the flowers
have added a nice touch.
Now that everyone has settled
down into the school routine and
Add-Drop is almost over;
organizations, meetings and
other extra-curricular events
have gotten underway. Well, who
knows about them? The
alternative to the "No banners in
the Dining Hall' has been to put ,
them in the "New Smoker." This
is impractical as well as non
functional.
First the banners were
effective in the Dining Hall
because while sitting down and
eating dinner you could look
around and take time to read
them. However, in the new
smoker, considered a
passageway more than a room,
students pass by them and do not
take the time to stop and read,
but at most to just glance,
missing the majority of
announcements. There is not the
adequate space for all the
Dr. Merkle taking a rest from the bunt.
announcements in the new
smoker that there is in the Dining
HaU.
Secondly where are
Longwood's priorities? As I
understand it, the banners were
banned from the Dining Hall
because it looks better without
them, therefore improving the
outside appearance of the college
and hopefully allowing for some
State funds as a result of the
impression. However, the
functional side of Longwood is
being taken for granted. The
purpose of this institution of
higher education and
achievement is to get students
involved and active — right? I
also don't believe that the
banners were an eyesore, instead
they showed activity and let
people know what was going on in
their college in the near future.

Faculty Colloquium to be Joanie or Johnnie
Presented by Dr. Young
Search For The Heal Arc
The Longwood College Faculty
Colloquium Lecture Series will
begin its 10th year with a
presentation by Dr. Douglas M.
Young on the status of women as
portrayed in outstanding social
comedies of 17th Century
England.
Dr. Young's lecture, entitled
"The Virtuous Women in the
Restoration Play-World: The
Concept of Marriage and the
Social Status of Women in the
Comedies of Etherege,
Wycherley, and Congreve," is
scheduled for Wednesday
evening, September 15, at 7:30 in
the Molnar Recital Hall, Wygal
Building.
The lecture is open to the public
at no charge.
The re-defining of the role of
women in society is a topic of
great interest in the modem
world. "Surprisingly, this was
also a topic of lively discussion in
some of the social comedies of the
English Restoration drama," Dr.
Young said.
The leading female characters
in the plays of Sir George
Etherege, William Wycherley,
and William Congreve are
examples of "women of
independent mind and spirit" at a
time when law and custom
dictated that women be the
subservient sex.
These beautiful and lively
ladies of the Restoration play-
world are intriguing subjects for
study as they seek and attain
equality in their social
relationships with their male
counterparts," Dr. Young said.
Dr. Young holds the Ph.D. in
theatre from Florida State -
University. A member of the
Longwood faculty since 1970, he
has directed many productions
by the Longwood Players and the
department of speech and
dramatic arts. He is the author of
several plays, including "Miss
Doris Anderson" which was
produced by the Back Alley
Theatre in Washington, D. C. in
1977.
The Longwood College Faculty
Colloquium, established in 1973,
is a forum wherein faculty

students and the public topics of

from, but related to, their regular
teaching studies. Other topics to

Joan of Arc who led the French
army to victory into the city of
Reims, was burned at the stake in
Rouen on May 30, 1431. Her ashes
were thrown into the River Seine.
That was the end of Joan until
1920 when the Catholic Church
declared her a Saint and when
Longwood declared her the
patron saint for the college.
, Things should have ended
'there. But they haven't. Like the
Arc of the Covenant Joanie has
remained a perpetual mystery.
Was she witch or saint? hereitc or
zealot? And now perhaps an even
more perplexing question arises
— was she male of female?
Robert Greenblatt, a Georgia
endoctrinologist, thinks Joan
,may (like Longwood) look all
j female to a passing observer but
'if you look really close, inside
• there lurks a male.
Robert Greenblatt is convinced
according to historical records'
dating from the time ot ner iriai

The lecture will be given by Dr.
David L. Waltz, professor of
electrical engineering at the

designing and building touch,
vision, and language systems for
computers. In the early 1970's,
while working at the Artificial

LC Second In Soccer Tournament
By HOKE CURRIE
Visiting North Carolina-
Charlotte got two goals in the
second overtime period to break
a 2-2 deadlock and hand host
Longwood a 4-2 setback in the
Longwood Invitational
Tournament championship
contest Sunday afternoon on
First Ave. Field.
longwood, now 1-1, takes off
until Friday when Maryville
visits for a 2:00 tilt. Saturday,
Longwood journeys to North
Carolina to play Wingate College
with a trip to Catawba slated for
Sunday afternoon.
The Division 1 49ers, now 3-1-1,
beat Virginia Commonwealth,
the defending champ, 4-2
Saturday to reach the finals.
Longwood blanked Richmond 3-0
in first round action as Chris
Wilkerson had two goals and
Scott Piche one.
After VCU beat Richmond 3-0
in the consolation game, the
Lancers and 49ers squared off in
a rugged, physical battle. First
half goals by freshman Brian
Allmendinger and senior Gus
Leal enabled Longwood to tie
UNCC 2-2 at the half. Goals by
Arto Van Grondelle and Robert
Edwards in the second overtime
period gave Coach Bob
Warming's team the win.
UNCC, which had tied South
Carolina 1-1 and lost to powerful
North Carolina State, placed four
players on the all-tournament
team while grabbing two MVP
selections. Longwood had three
players chosen all-toumament
while VCU and Richmond had
two choices each.
Tournament MVP was 49er
Tureh Doh, a senior forward
from Liberia, while teammate
Pierre Imar was Most Valuable
Forward. Imar scored a
tournament record four goals,
including three in the win over
VCU. Ix)ngwood All-American
Darryl Case was Most Valuable
Defender for the second year in a
row.
The all-tournament team
consisted of Doh, Imar and Case
plus David Higgins and Robbie
Hofstetter of UNCC, Bill Foster
and Dan Dubnis of Longwood,
Thor Hockett and Sean
McGarigal of VCU and John
Maliff and Peter Schauf of
Richmond.
When senior Gus Leal scored
his first goal of the season Sunday
afternoon the score marked his
41st career goal. Each time Leal
scores he will break his own
school record for career goals.
Longwood freshman Mark
McArdle went down with a knee
injury in Sunday's loss to UNCC.
The 5-2, 105 pound freshman was
a solid performer for the Lancers
in the tournament with numerous
passes which set-up teammates
for shots on goal. The extent of
his injury was unknown.
In all, six freshmen saw
significant action for Longwood
in the tournament. In addition to
McArdle, Bubnis and
Allmendinger, Clay Mullican,
goalie Al Del Monte and Scott
Piche played well for the
Lancers.
Longwood coach Rich
Posipanko remains confident
that his team can have an
outstanding season, despite the
DAN BUBNIS
All Tournament
loss.
"We're disappointed," said the
coach, "but we lost to a talented

Larie Gerken had bole-in-one Friday in Longwood Invitational.
Course. Longwood finished fourth
in a six-team field, but played
surprisingly well considering its
youth and inexperience.
Senior Robin Andrews was
Longwood's top performer with
an 80-77-81-238. The two-time Ail-
American finished in a three-way
tie for seventh place out of 30
golfers.
Top individual in the tourney
was James Madison's Allison
Groat who set a Longwood
Invitational record for three
rounds with a 75-75-71-221. Groat
broke the old record of 223 set by
ex-champ Mary Wilkinson of
William & Mary.
Longwood soph Lanie Gerken
carded a hole-in-one in Friday's
first round when she aced the 152-
yard, par-3 no. -12 hole with an
8-iron. Gerken had rounds of 81-
78-83-243 while Sue Morgan had a
consistent 81-«l-«l-243. The play
of Andrews, Gerken and Morgan
helped Longwood card rounds of
324-325-323 for a 972 total, 25
strokes better than last year's
invitational score.
Freshman Holli Hudson and
sophomore transfer Carol
Rhoades played well in spots in
their first tournament action at
Longwood. Hudson had an 82-88-
83-253, while Rhoades finished up
with a 78 after shooting 91 and 96
the first two days.
Playing as individuals,
Longwood's Margaret Melone 87-
85-84-256, Donna Turner 93-85-86-
264 and Mary Semones 86-«6-84-
256 showed that they may be
capable of challenging for a spot
in the top five. Melone and
Semones are freshmen while
Turner is a sophomore.
"I was very pleased with the
way we played," said Longwood
coach Barbara Smith. "We're
about 10 strokes ahead of last
year's average already. I was
particularly pleased with Sue
Morgan's consistency and the
performances of our new
players."
Longwood's next action will be
in the Appalachian State
Invitational September 20-21.
Volleyball
Longwood's volleyball team
will open its season September 23

Field Hockey Team
Hosts Wm & Mary
ByHOKECURRIE
Longwood's field hockey team
begins its season with high hopes
Wednesday afternoon when the
Lady Lancers host national
power William & Mary on Barlow
Field at 3:00.
The Indians, coached by Jean
Stettler, have compiled a record
of 92-28-17 over the past eight
years with four regional
championships. After a down
year last season (6-74), William
& Mary expects to field another
strong club with veterans slated
to start at every position but
goahe. Last year the two teams
split games with W&M winning 5-
1 in the regular season and
Ijongwood taking a 1-0 decision in
the state tournament.
With seven experienced seniors
leading the way, l^ongwood could
have one of its strongest teams in
recent years. Four seniors have
been lost from last year's 7-11-1
squad, but the 1982 edition will
have experience and talent from
a strong returning group as well
as some promising freshmen.
"If all goes well we should have
a pretty good club," says Coach
Bette Harris. "We have a group
of seven seniors who have played
together for three years. This
should be the year they put it
together.
Dr. Harris, in her fourth year
at Longwood, says the class of
1983 is probably the strongest in
her tenure here.
The Lady Lancers, after
competing in AIAW Division I the
past three seasons, are moving to
NCAA Division II. The 1982
schedule, however, will not
reflect this change in divisional
status.
Of 12 regular season contests,
seven will be against Division I
foes, including always tough
Virginia and William & Mary.
"This is our first year in
Division II, but we're playing the
same teams we played in the
past," says Dr. Harris.
Facing tough competition will
not be a new experience for
Longwood's seniors. Defender
Mary Milne has been a starter for
three years while returning All-
State defenders Mindy Allman
and Janet Long have started
consistently for two years.
Leading the attack will be seniors
Cherie Stevens and Chris Mayer,
who was slowed by an injury in
1981. Betty Jo Casey is back at
center field (link), while Lorrie
Garber is the veteran goalie.
Dr. Harris is looking for big
improvement from sophomores
Colleen Stiles, Mary Garrison on
attack and Ann Holland and Lisa
Seivold on defense. Freshmen
Susan Groff on defense, Mary
Dey on attack and transfer Pam
Esworthy on attack will also
likely contribute.
"We definitely want to improve
our offensive production and
score more," said the coach. "We
must boost our offense to be a
more successful team."
Longwood will be one of 42
teams competing for six berths iii
the Division II National
Tournament November 12-13.
With the experience and depth on
this year's squad, Dr. Harris
feels the Lady Lancers could be a
contender for national honors.
"We're going to have good
leadership and depth at all
positions," she said. "If we
expect to reach our potential,
however, we'll have to eliminate
the inconsistency which hurt us
last season."
In addition to 12 regular season
contests, Longwood will play in
the Appalachian State
Invitational Tournament October
1-2 and the Battlefield
Invitational at Mary Washington
October 30. Division I opponents
include Virginia, Virginia Tech,
William & Mary, Duke, James
Madison, Richmond and Virginia
Commonwealth.

Women^s
Tennis
By GARY THORNHUX
Longwood's women's tennis
team, under the direction of first-
year coach Beatrice White, is out
to improve on last year's 1-9 fall
record. The season gets
underway Tuesday on the road
against Randolph-Macon
Woman's College and Friday the
lady netters entertain VCU at
3:00.
Only four members from last
year's team return this season:
junior Lisa Barnes, junior Bland
Hotchkiss, senior Jenny Fisher
and sophomore Tammy
Schmelter.
The other members of the team
who will be trying for starting
positions are senior Angle
Ck)ppedge, sophomore Whitney
Phillips and freshmen Kyleen
Curfman, Penny Powell and
Cathy Morris.
Even though the starting
oositions have not been
established, last year's No. 1
player Barnes should be among
the top netters. Schmelter, who
reached the consolation finals in
the State Division III
Tournament at No. 4 singles last
spring season, could also
challenge for one of the top
positions. She was team MVP in
the spring with a 4-3 singles
record.
With a team composed mostly
of first year players, Coach White
said, "This season will be a
learning experience that will
enhance their abilities for the
spring season and for next year."

Men's Golf Team Opens With Victory
By GARY THORNHILL
Longwood's men golfers were
victorious in their season opener
Friday at Shannon Green
Country Club in Fredericksburg.
The Lancers took top honors
with a team total of 307, followed
by Newport News 309,
Qiristopher Newport 314 and
Mary Washington 331.
Stan Edwards paced
Longwood, shooting an even par
72, which earned him medalist
honors. Also turning in a strong
performance was Todd At-
Cheerleading
"We're looking forward to
increasing spirit at Longwood",
said coach Joyce Philips of her
1982 Cheerleading squad. This
year's ten member team includes
six varsity women, two varsity
men and two alternate women.
Back from last year's team are
Donna Crews, Tammy Fields
(alternate) Robyn Grinnel,
Christy Higgins, Dale Hightower,
Sarah Petty (alternate) and Elen
Spencer. First year members are
Chris Koman. Joan Weidmann
and Tami Whitley. KMS
kinson with a two-over par 74
Other Longwood scores included:
David Pittman 80, Richard Miller
81 and Tommy Spencer 82.
Longwood will next compete in
the VMI and Washington & Lee
Invitational September 24-25.
Looking forward to another
successful fall season, the 1962
Collegiate Division State Champs
are out to prove that last year's
12-2 performance was no fluke.
Playing this year without the
services of Ail-American Tim
White, the team's No. 1 player for
four years, Coach Nelson is
looking for solid play from the
No. 1 contenders Atkinson and
David Moore.
Atkinson, a junior, who was the
No. 2 player in the 1981 spring
season is returning to the team
after a year's lay-off. "Todd is
playing the best since he has been
at Longwood," said Coach
Nelson. Moore, a senior, played
No. 2 and No. 3 much of the last
two seasons. According to Coach
Nelson, "David has the
capabilities of playing extremely
well this season."
GOLFER STAN EDWARDS
With returning veterans Miller
and Edwards, newcomer
Pittman; plus the addition of four
freshmen: Spencer, Richard
Woody, Ty Bordner and Punkaj
Racid, the Lancers are expecting
more overall team balance.
"Spencer is the most promising
newcomer. He has a solid game
and could challenge for the No. 3
position," said Coach Nelson.

Movie Review
"Unfile" Go Home
By JOE JOHNSON
Little Orphan Annie the comic
strip was given birth to in the
Roaring Twenties by Harold
Gray. According to Gray, Annie
has a simple philosophy — a child
with an adult mind — "Annie
knows life is no comic strip."
"She had to be hard to survive,
and she meant to survive... Annie
must never deviate from the
straight course of the poor little
orphan girl with a heart of gold,
but a wicked left. Annie will
continue to sell the idea that life
is a battle victory for the brave
and strong hearted."
The key words are heart of gold
and wicked left. In fact, in the
musical coriiedy, "Annie" they
are the only words applicable to
Annie's character. She is ^ two
fisted smile, from the opening
scene when she sings in the
orphanage window, "Maybe far
away, or maybe real nearby,
betcha they're smart, betcha
they're good, why shouldn't they
be, their only mistake was giving
up me" to the very next scene
(not 30 seconds later) when she's
breaking up a fight in the!
orphanage to another scene when
( ditto ) she comforts a
teary-eyed (albeit big brown
eyed) orphan girl, Annie never
moves out of her dual character,
A big smile and a "tough cookie".
It's hard to believe a
nationwide search (2000
children waited at Plaza Hotel,
just in N.Y. to try out for this
part) came up with Aileen Quinn.
Superficially perhaps she is good
for the role but that's an awful
long way to stretch a cute smile
and dazzling red hair. But
apparently, John Huston thought
he could get away with it. He
didn't.
Not that Aileen Quinn was the
only thing wrong with this
movie, the plot and dialogue
could have been a bit more
plausible and if not more
plausible, at least interesting.
The plot based on the award-
winning Broadway musical
written by Thomas McEhan with
music by Charles Strouse follows
the adventures of the 10 year old
as she tries to escape from an
asylum run by the wicked gin
soaked Miss Hannigan (Carol
Bumette), in hopes of finding her
real parents.
When billlonnaire "Daddy"
Warbucks adopts her for a week
to improve his image, Annie
discovers the warmhearted man
beneath the gilt-edged exterior.
Together they confront an
assassination attempt by a bomb
throwing Bolshevik, a dastardly
plot by Hannigan and her cohorts
"Rooster" and his girltnenu
(Bernadette Peters) a musical
visit to Franklin Deleanor
Roosevelt, a tuneful discovery of
Radio City Music Hall —
(complete with Rockettes) and a
hairbreath chase through mid
Manhattan (filmed on location).
The movie nearly breaks its
back with cockeyed optimism
and at least a dozen dance
scenes (all except one or two,
unnecessary and totally
unrelated to the story). This in
itself is forgivable since it is a
musical and one comes to expect
such things. However, the forced
optimism of Annie and nearly all
of the characters (except the
villians who manage to give the
audience a breath of humor and
human faiUngs — particularly
Burnette) and the mechanical
rigors of the dance. (They never
really look as happy as their
bodies say they are) leaves the
audience with precious little
except Annie's cute smile and a
mild case of nausea.
Perhaps since the movie was
set for the 1930's the producers
thought they would try to appeal
to a 1930's audience. Hence, the
trivia about the greatness of
capitalism, the work ethic and
how it can be complementary to
love — the love which "develops
from last season no longer with I
the team, coach Nelson is looking I
for major contributions from the!
newcomers.
With only one match and three '
tournaments scheduled for the
fall season, Coach Nelson is using
this time to develop his golfers.
"We are playing a limited fall
schedule to give the younger
players an opportunity to get
acclimated to collegiate
competition and to allow the
veteran players more time to
strive for consistency in their
games," he said.

They're Not Just Parolees
ByLIZD'SURNEY
"This is one place I won't look
back to for a Long time," replied
Robert shaking his head back and
forth and staring at the ground.
He was confident, sincere. There
was no doubt to what he just
said... Robert is on probation for
the next 20 years for armed
robbery.
"I'll tell you what I did," he
said sitting up straight in an old
clanky chair, "I ain't afraid to
admit it to anyone. I know I've
done wrong." There was a pause
as he looked up and said. "I
learned from it, you
know... learned the hard way."
Robert is one of the eleven
clients working with Project
Breakthrough. Project
Breakthrough is an agency which
exists to rehabilitate law
breakers through alternatives
other than jail. Its main objective
is to help their clients realize the
mistake they have made, yet still
be able to go on living normal
lives. The agency works with
Longwood College to help find
these men jobs.
As of right now, these clients of
the project are involved in
various areas of work on
Longwood Campus. Each client
works here for twelve weeks at a
time, then goes on to a different
job. Some may be asked to work
full time for the college. When
asked the tasks they are
responsible for carrying out, one
parolee stated, "We do things like
picking up trash, trimming
bushes, painting and plumbing,
and carpentry." "It's hard work
at certain times," replied
another man.
Melvin Moore who works in the
Physical Plant and helps hire
these workers said, "They have
done an excellent job and have
really helped out." Mr. Moore
feels that this system has been
running smoothly so far. "It's a
great way of rehabilitation and
helps the men benefit in a
number of ways, mostly by
learning a trade for later use.
The work day for these men is
like that of any other job. The
daily schedule is: 8:00-12:00
work, 12:00-1:00 lunch, and 1: 00-
5:00 back to work. Lunchtime the
men are free to go wherever they
please. Their salary is minimum
wage and their hours are
calculated by a time card. They
are paid directly from the federal
government. If they fail to show
up for work their pay is cut for
that day and they report to
Melvin Moore who then decides
what to do. If it happens
frequently, they may report back
to the agency and no effort may
be made to keep them.
An easy-going, friendly
relationship has been established
between the regular staff and the
Project Breakthrough clients.
One parolee, Sylvester, when
speaking of this relationship said
"I get crazy with them and blend
in with them." He leaned back in
the chair, stretched his legs out in
front of him and placed his hands
behind his neck. He continued, "I
get along with everyone as long
as they treat me right. So far it's
been real good."
Passing each other, the men
exchanged a friendly slap on the
back or punch in the shoulder.
Some stopped to engage in
conversation, others go on their
way. A young man approaches
dressed in faded blue jeans
splotched with paint and raveled
at the bottom. His blue shirt, like
that of a gas station attendant, is
partially open, from lack of
buttons.
His name is Sylvester.
Sylvester, who was caught
breaking and entering, at 20
years of age, has already
spent one year at the Farmville
jail, the next year at the State
Penn, and remains on parole for
another whole year. He got
involved with Project
Paris in
Breakthrough from his probation
officer who works with the
agency. Other probation officers
are assigned to clients from the
agency or have some type of
connection with it.
Sylvester feels he has benefited
greatly from this system. He
folds his arm across his chest,
takes a deep breath and says.

an encounter with one of life's
"real people."
Thompson met Bob Teuber, a
twenty-three year-old native of
Illinois, taking a break from
bicycling cross-country from
Portland, Oregon to Portland,
Maine.
Teuber began his trip one week
before Memorial Day on the
Bikecentennial Bike Trail, a bike
trail formed through the United
States from Oregon to Yorktown,
Virginia in 1976. Bikecentennial
is a nonprofit organization which
sets up bike trails throughout the
United States.
Teuber, a tall lean man with
sandy brown hair and glasses,
looked much older than his
twenty-three years. He was eager
to talk to the group of Journalism
students before him. "I had
wanted to bicycle cross-country
since high school," Teuber said.
"It had been in the back of my
mind for a long time but I never
really thought about it. So, when
January came I sorta decided it
wasnowor never." Teuber at that
time began to prepare for his trip
by running and lifting weights.
The essential piece of equipment
in this quest, the bicycle, is
spectacular indeed. The bike is a
special touring model, worth
seven-hundred fifty dollars. It
has eighteen speeds, which
enables Teuber to travel hill as
well as dale, and holds between
forty and fifty pounds of gear.
During his four months on the
road, Teuber had seen many
places including Colorado and
Wyoming and met many
interesting people. "I met a
couple on the trail who had
visited New Zealand," Teuber
says. "They were really nice
people." Also during that time, a
Kansas family befriended Teuber
and provided lodging for him for
five days. "I got caught up in a
Little League game," says
Teuber, "and I wanted to see the
championship playoffs." Teuber
also took the time to visit his
parents in Illinois during his
excursion. Although he has been
many places during his trip,
Teuber had no real place of
residence. His usual lodgings for
the night are his sleeping bag at
an available campground.
However, while in Farmville,
Teuber slept in a house — the
first time in months.
Teuber, a business
management major, graduated
from Dekelb University this May.
This bike trip was his way of
doing something adventuresome
before responsibility set in.
Teuber's next stop is Connecticut
to visit some friends before he
bicycles to Williamsburg,
Virginia, his final stop. He plans
to be home by October 15, by bike
or possibly train. When asked
what he would do when he
returned home, Teuber replied,
"I don't know, maybe work."
"If I could just get one hour at
the Louvre, it would be worth it . .

runs until October 7. Dr.
Greenwood, the only college
president selected from Virginia,
also will travel to Holland and

Dr. Greenwood will be
representing the United States,
higher education and Longwood
College. She will visit four
universities in the cities of Paris,
Lyon and Grenoble. "Longwood
is indeed honored to be
represented," she said.
The trip is intended to "re-
emphasize the relationship
between the United States and
France in higher education,"
noted Dr. Greenwood. Possible
exchanges of faculty and
students will be discussed when
the presidents consult with the
French counterparts.
"We have hopes — no
promises, but hopes — that we
might work out some exchanges
for our students and faculty," the
Longwood president explained.
In addition to those possible
exchanges, she said, Longwood
will benefit from the mission
through "immediate national and
international attention... It says
something about the quality of
the College."

Junior Ring
Dance
By MIKE LYNCH
The Arab League met in Fez,
Morocco, with its main intention
being to come up with its own
position on the subject of
Palestinian autonomy. After
considering, but not adopting
President Reagan's plan, they
came up with their own eight
point plan, modeled on an earlier
version by Saudi Arabia's King
Faud. The plan was harsh to
Israel on many points but that
was not unexpected.
The main demands of the plan
were for Israeli evacuation of all
land taken since 1967, creation of
a Palestinian State with a capital
in East Jerusalem and a United
Nations Security Council
guarantee that all states in the
Middle East live in peace. The
latter demand, point seven of the
plan, although not an outright
acceptance of Israel's right to
exist, could be interpreted as a
step in the right direction. And if
that is the fact, as Secretary of
State George Schultz put it,
"that's a breakthrough, a
genuine breakthrough."
But the biggest visible
achievement of the meeting was
the amiability displayed between
moderate and radical Arabs who
earlier were of no appreciation
for each other at all. The last
conference in Fez broke down
after just after five hours, due to
the split in opinions. But then,
when your biggest enemy strolls
halfway through one of your
counties and kicks one of your
buddies out as if he had been
picking on the girls, it tends to
convince you to be much nicer
about things.
President Reagan's string of
economic victories was broken
when Congress overrode his veto
of a 14.2 billion dollar
supplemental spending bill. The
House tally was 301-117, 22 votes
more than needed to pass the bill,
while the Senate had exactly the
amount of votes needed, 60-30.
It was a fairly predictable
loss, though, and the Reagan
Administration did not take it too
hard; especially since the bill
was not extremely important.
Giving the reasons (or having
vetoed the bill in the first place,
Reagan stated earlier that "This
bill would bust the budget by
nearly a billion dollars."
Supporters of the bill did not fall
for that logic at all seeing that the
bill was actually 2 billion under
the original Reagan proposal and
having no solid reason to believe
that the bill would be over
budget.
The two billion dollars cut
naturally came from defense, for
the most part and the increases
shored up many programs, such
as jobs for the elderly, aid to the
handicapped and student loans
that our humane leader some-
how did not manage to give
enough money in the first place.
Although beaten this time,
Reagan vowed that he would veto
again, should similar
circumstances arrive.
In a change from his normal
attention to economic and
international issues, President
Reagan suffered another setback
as a liberal filibuster of an anti-
abortion issue was extended after
proponents of the bill tried to cut
it off, falling 19 votes short of the
needed amount for cloture. The
bill would permanently deny all
federal funding for abortions and
require the Supreme Court to
reconsider the legality of the
practice. Reagan has also vowed
to push forward a controversial
school prayer issue in the near
future, although many White
House aides and Constitution
experts question the
constitutionality of both bills.
The Polish embassy in
Switzerland was occupied -
recently by terrorists claiming
themselves to be the "In-
dependent Home Army," the
"Front of the National
Liberation", and the "Army of
Insurgent Patriots" at alternate
times. They held 14 embassy of-
ficials and workers captive,
claimed to have 55 pounds of
dynamite and presented much
simpler demands than their

Identities; lift martial law in
Poland and free all political

After the Polish government
laughed that one off, they told the
Swiss that they could go ahead
and re-take the embassy, offering
the help of Warsaw's anti-
terrorist "Intervention Group."
The Swiss politely refused this
offer and a similar one from the
British, choosing to deploy their
own "Star Group" anti-terrorist
unit.
The leader of the terrorist
group, calling himself "Colonel
Wyscocki" after a 19th century
Polish hero, let his demands slip
as far as 1.4 million and safe
conduct to Albania or China,
largely due to communication
with a Swiss Dominican priest,
80 years old, Father Joseph
Bochenski. But the Swiss figured
that enough time had expired and
they now stormed the building
after sneaking in a remote-
control stun bomb, disguised as a
food package. An explosion, a few
minutes, several tear gas
canisters but no gunshots later,
the terrorists had been captured
and the hostages freed.
Although the takeover was
clearly amateur, the result was a
blow to Solidarity's image as the
Polish government promptly
blamed them for the takeover.
Solidarity officials bluntly denied
responsibility for the incident,
claiming that they had been
framed and it is interesting to
note that "Colonel Wyscocki"
who turned out to be Florian
Kruszuk, a fairly common hood,
was once a spy for the Polish
government.
Starting in January, one of the
more painful forms of literary
deprivation will occur as Garry
Trudeau, artisan of the Pulitzer
Prize winning comit strip,
"Doonesbury," plans to take as
many as 20 months off to pursue
other projects and update his
characters into the 80's. The
switch, as Trudeau puts it, will go
"from draft beer and mixers to
cocaine and herpes."
The Lankford Gold Room came
alive Saturday night at 9 p.m. as
the Juniors hosted a semi-formal
dance to celebrate the arrival
of their school rings.
Approximately one-hundred
people — freshmen through
seniors, Longwood and non-
Longwood students — came out
to enjoy the music, food and
fellowship. D.J. Randy Johnson
provided tunes to boogie by,
which ranged anywhere from
rhythm and blues to new wave.
This year's Ring Committee
broke away from the traditional
Lower Dining Hall location for
the dance and moved it to the
Gold Room.

Archeology Ace
By CINDY CORELL
(First Article of a
Two-Part Series)
As a child, Bob Flippen loved to
play in the dirt. Specifically, he
liked to dig in the dirt and find
things. He still enjoys this, but
now it's on a much larger scale,
and very far from child's play.
When, in the second grade. Bob
Flippen told everyone he wanted
to become an archeologist, I'm
sure no one was surprised, nor
are they surprised now that Bob
is on his way to becoming a well
known archeologist of present
time.
Bob Flippen is a student from
George Washington University in
Washington, D. C, studying
anthropology. He is enrolled in
Longwood for this semester as an
Anthropology Intern, doing a
project at Hampden-Sydney. He
is from Meherrin, Va., and
although he was bom in West
Germany, he considers himself a
native of the area.
I spent about an hour this week
in the Snack Bar talking to Bob
about his various experiences in
archeology. He gets a boyish, yet
almost reverent expression on his
face when he talks about his
work. He speaks patiently and is
very anxious that whoever he's
talking to understands what he
means. His enthusiasm spreads,
and soon I was as excited about
digging in the dirt as he was.
The first story Bob related was
of this past sununer. It involved a
site on Rose Bower Vineyard,
about five miles west of
Hampden-Sydney. Tom O'Grady,
the owner of the land, was
digging a lake on the property. In
the process of building the dam,
bulldozers ran over two slabs of
rock, like grave markers,
sticking out of the ground about
five feet apart in an East-West
fashion. This is very typical of a
religious burial. Mr. O'Grady
called Bob in and he and an
archeology crew planned to
disinter the body, send it to
William and Mary College to find
out its sex, age, race, etc., and
reinter the body somewhere else
on the farm. They checked with
state authorities and found that
this was legal, as long as it was
an unmarked grave. They set to
work.
Bob planned to have one crew
help for a few days and then use a
fresh group of people. The first
group, however, decided that no
matter how hard the work was,
they wanted to be the ones to
finish the job, as well as start it.
The crew, Nuvit Rodop, Whit
Privat, Mary Ball, Margaret Hill,
and Bob began to work the site.
Contrary to popular belief,
archeologists don't find
something interesting every few
shovelfuls. Instead, it is hot,
sweaty and often discouraging
work.
This time, however, they soon
found ample motivation. They
discovered by digging all around
the area of the stone that there
was a vein of rock running
crosswise through the stone
markers. But, when they dug in
between the markers, they met
no resistance. Therefore, the vein
of rock had been cut into and this
proved that there was once a
large hole there about six feet
deep.
By the time they finished the
dig, they had found remnants of
wood that had managed to be
preserved, spread around in an
unusual manner, twenty-four
metal nails, three machine made
lead cap screws on an ivory milk
glass button.
There were no bones.
Through dating the era when
ivory buttons were normally
worn (about 1920) and when lead
cap screws began to be made by
machine (1850), Bob concludes
that the grave was dug and a
body was buried between these
years.
Bob has several theories about
why the bones are no longer
there: First, it could have been
an infant, whose body would have
already decayed. But, a more
reasonable theory is that the
body was hastily buried and
friends or family came back and
got the body. This would explain
why the remnants of wood were
so spread out and why only three
cap screws were found.
The dig was concluded and the
students felt they should leave
something of their own behind,
maybe in exchange for what they
learned. What they left was a
time capsule. Being a collector of
and an expert on old bottles, Bob
left a bottle from the 1800's fiUed
with such things as the legal
document for the dig, a 1982
penny, a dining hall spoon and
Par Bil's matches, among other
things for future archeologists to
find.
Next week: An article on Bob
Flippen 's experiences at three
different sites at Hampden-
Sydney College.

£o The Editor:
This is my Farewell letter to
Longwood College. Very soon I
will no longer be at Longwood.
Sure, I will finish out this
semester, the next, and return
again next fall, but where will I
be? I will be in a nice little town
called Farmville, attending a
relatively small, co-educational
institution for higher education.
Is that institution Longwood?
Maybe now it is, but at the rate
events are happening around
here, by next fall it will be called
"The University of Greenwood
via Mable, Haltzel, Rothermill,
Ogrosky, and Lemish."
All of these people recruited by
our President, Dr. Janet D.
Greenwood, brought with them a
truck load of enthusiasm and
creative ideas to help the image
and money problems they say
Longwood has. After talking to a
few of these Administrators I can
see where they have the
knowledge and experience to help
this school out, if indeed it needs
helping. Fine, but where does
that leave us? What about the
students who hold this college
and the things it stands for very
high on their list? We are feeling
left out, put down, and most of all
kicked in the ass.
It is not that the school image
should not change if it needs to,
because bad reputations can
hurt. But with those changes are
changes in traditions. This school
has gone through many changes
before. This school use to be only
for females. Before that it was
not even called Longwood, it was
called State Female Normal
School. But through it all, CHI,
Blue-N-White, and pride in Spirit
Activities lasted. They were
started before anyone in ims
Administration was even bom.
But what do thev do? They want
to change things around. First
came the banners — we have all
heard about that issue. Now Geist
cannot even decorate the dining
hall for Oktoberfest. Not one
streamer. Not one damn balloon.
Big deal, you say. But a lot of
faculty and Administrators think
Oktoberfest is childish, and want
to do away with it — especially
the skits. The skits are childish?
Then why were the one-thousand-
plus seats full for both nights last
year?
Call me a Ra Ra Joe, I know
you are not much for Blue-N-
White and the color class
activities. That's cool because I
don't care for journalism much
either. But the point is this —
where is this Administration
going to stop? The members of
this Administration came to
Longwood, already a well-
established school. But what they
are trying to do is make
Longwood a part of them instead
of becoming a part of Longwood
and perpetuating its spirit. They
want to put their stamp on
everything that crosses their
desks. You can see this from Ms.
Mable's office because there is
always some piece of paper
shooting out of there announcing
something or another with her
name scribbled on the bottom
like she was asked to sign an
autograph.
A very good example of this
attitude that the Administration
has can be seen in the school
colors. They want to change the
colors — catch this — to Green
and Gold- Yellow-whatever. Alice
Martin who works in the Office
for Institutional Advancement
under E>on Lemish, said that
Blue-White was old and boring.
At East Carolina they have
Purple and Orange (Whatever
and whatever) . . . she said. I am
so happy for East Carolina.
Longwood happens to be a little
bit north of there though and it
does not need such a ridiculous
color change. You don't go
changing things around just for
the hell of it, folks. I am sure a
move like that is going to go over
big with the Alumni — a very
important group when it comes to
the$$.
I love this school and want to
perpetuate the traditions and
activities. I want to enhance the
educational and social
opportunities here, that is why I
joined the Ambassador program.
But let me tell you, when it comes
to the Telefund that the
Ambassadors run, I don't want to
even have my name linked with
this Administration and I would
not blame any Alumni if they
hang up on me when I call for
donations.
Maybe you think you need to be
here, Jan, Michael, Phyllis, Ray,
Wendal, and Don, but I certainly
don't want you here.
Sincerely Longwood's
Colin Shanahan
Editor's Note:
Thank you so much for
informing the student body that
the administration is planning to
do away with Oktoberfest —
skits, clowns, balloons and all.
It's hard to believe any
administration would attempt
such a coup. Congratulations,
Dr. Greenwood and cronies.
By the way Alice Martin has
informed me that she never said
any of the things you said she said
and she happens to like blue and
white.
One last engmatic thought
from William Blake's The
Marriage of Heaven and Hell —
"Expect poison from standing
water."

up, I knew I made a mistake." He
relaxes, looks around, then back
at me. "This has really helped
me get going. I think it's helped
everyone who's in it."
Explaining his reason for
breaking and entering, Sylvester
said "I didn't have any money."
His voice raised a bit as if to get
his point across.. ."Now I do. I
have money in my pocket... I
couldn't find a job.. .there were no
jobs... now at least I have a job."
Now, at 20 years of age, with two
years of jail behind him, he felt
he was headed in the right
direction, though he "had to learn
the hard way."
One client when speaking of
jobs replied, "This is really nice
to have. I can get out, have a job.
There are no jobs, no places to go.
I want to get out of Virginia.
There's no money around here.
This way I have a place to go and
food."
Another statement: "They
(Project Breakthrough) will help
you if you have no money. They
find you a place to live and pay
the first months rent and grocery
bill. After that, you're on your
own.
Robert, another client working
at Longwood says, "It's good to
be able to walk around on
weekends with money in your
pocket." He wants to keep
working and save money to settle
down in the next few years. He
plans to keep away from trouble
or he will have to go to the State
Penn for 20 years.
Asking Robert why he
attempted armed robbery, he got
quiet. He looked down at his
hands cupped in his lap and
replied, "Me and my friends got
drunk one night and just weren't
thinking... I think now though."
Maryann Greenwell from the
Project Breakthrough office
says, "We teach them how to be
self supported. If they're not
living at home, we'll find them a
boarding house. We may help
them out at first, but from there,
they're on their own. They buy
their own clothes, food and do
their cooking and laundry."
When these men are first
brought to the Project
Breakthrough office, they are
screened carefully and if
accapted, are required to go to
two weeks of classes from 8:30 to
1:00 every day. These classes
involve the goals to be achieved
and discuss values. Other classes
are held which involve close
counseling, job readiness
training, personal management
skills and employment
counseling, individual needs, job
development and placement,
referral occupational training,
medical and health assistance,
food assistance, transitional
housing and transportation, and a
number of other programs.
Education classes are held
because it is often found some of
the clients only have the
equivalent of a 6th grade
education. For those more
advanced, they are given the
opportunity to get their GED. A
skill center is also open for job
readiness and job searching and
interviewing.
A new system has been set up
where representatives from
Project Breakthrough will go into
the prison and work on a pre-

The expenditures for dining
hall services perlex me. When a
student has a meal in the dining
hall and the main topic of
discussion among the people at
the table is excess spending for
meals, it whould be presented
before the dining hall
management with proposals for
reformation that will be
receptive to the student.
Optional meal plans offer an
alternative worthy of
consideration.
Of the three meals provided by
the dining hall, many students
miss breakfast. I, for one, have
never eaten breakfast since
school began this fall. Some
students protest that breakfast is
served too early. They say they
don't have morning classes and
that it would be foolish to rise
early in the morning just to eat
breakfast and then return to their
room and catch up on more sleep.
They suggest that if breakfast
hours were extended they
wouldn't complain. Then, there is
also left for consideration the
student who just doesn't eat
breakfast. The supervisors of
ARA should take these facts into
consideration for improvement.
Could this unused portion of
students' monies be the reason
why we have carnations placed
on the dining tables weekly?
Covld this also be why the dining
hall doesn't serve fried shrimp on
Fridays anymore?
The cost of campus living
risen drastically, and though
there have been economical
amendments made throughout
the school, it seems the dining
hall has been overlooked. The
administration says they are
trying their hardest to comply
with students' needs without
charging any more than is
absolutely necessary, but the
dining hall has yet to make front
page headlines.
It would be worthy of ARA to
provide meal tickets for students.
This could be optional for those
students who seldom eat in the
dining hall along with day
stiiHpnts , ^
Another alternative would be
the two meal plan — lunch and
dinner. The student who wishes to
remain with the option to three
meals a day could be identified
with the regular ID card, where-
as the student preferring the two
meal plan could use a different
color card. Perhaps this could be
implemented as eariy as the
second semester.

Grateful Dead
Live!
ByJEFFABERNATHY
"Is this 1969 or what?"
University of Virginia students
were asking this question last
week when the Grateful Dead
played to a capacity crowd at
University Hall in Char-
lottesville.
It has been sixteen years since
the Grateful Dead produced their
first album, entitled "The
Grateful Dead". Seventeen
albums and literally thousands of
boot-legged cassettes and albums
later, the Dead were on tour
through Virginia and Maryland
at UVA Sept. 14 and at the
Capital Centre in Landover,
Maryland September 15. The
UVA show was the band's second
Virginia sell-out in 1982 (April 3
— Norfolk Scope) in as many
appearances.
The group's intermittent
popularity in those sixteen years
has survived a 1967 drug bust in
New Orleans, the bad publicity of
the Stone's Gimme Shelter and
the Monterey Pop Festival, as
well as numerous reported break-
ups. In his book. The Dead, Hank
Harrison calls the Dead "the
single most popular unknown
rock group in the world — a group
known to everyone who broke the
law but to almost no one on the
straight side." Bill Graham, the
San Francisco rock promoter
who booked the Dead and
nineteen other groups at the
I^bor Day weekend US Festival
in San Bernardino, California,
said the Grateful Dead is not "the
best at what they do; they're the
only ones who do what they do."
The UVA concert opened late
with "Jack Straw" from the
Europe '72 album. The first set
included "Lazy lightnin' " and
"Deal." "Peggy-0" featured a
strong solo by Brent Mydland on
keyboards. While the individual
songs were all performed well,
the first set never really flowed.
Each song was followed by a
thirty to forty second break while
Bob Weir, rhythm guitarist,
adjusted the equipment and
Jerry Garcia, lead guitarist,
huffed down a Camel
It wasn't until the second set
that the spontaneity which is so
characteristic of the Dead began
to hit home. Opening with "China
Cat Sunflower," the band made
an excellent transition into "I
know you Rider." Weir's
"Estimated Prophet" (California
. . .) got a good crowd response.
The drum solo by both Dead
drummers, Billy Kreutzman and
Mickey Hart, was fairly short,
about ten minutes, but showed
the perfect timing which the pair
has acquired over the years.
The other members walked out
on stage to incite screams from
the audience, after which they led
into "Iko Iko". Deviating from
his usual laid-back silence, the
band's bass player, Phil Lesh,
really got into this one, dancing
back and forth with the crowd as
Garcia sang. The encore for the
show, "Johnny B. Goode" is the
Dead's version, and a good re-
make, of the 1954 pop hit.
It is a unique experience to
watch Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia
on stage. The two seem to
contrast each other sharply, yet
they complement each other

successfully, leading the band
through the songs.
Wearing typical jeans and an
Izod, Weir was the most visible
member of the band. He was
flamboyant; walking out to the
crowd on his solos. He joked with
the crowd when an amplifier
blew in the second set. He threw
his arm down at the guitar on
strong notes and spoke for the
group when they left the stage.
Weir's vocal leads were at his
best in "CC Rider," and "Jack
Straw."
Conversely, Garcia, who
turned forty in August, was
relatively quiet during the two
and a half hour concert. Often he
played with his back turned
partially to the audience, and he
looked out at the audience only
occasionally. He did joke with the
drummers once or twice, but
didn't say anything to the crowd.
His concentration seemed
overpowering, particularly on his
solos in "Big Railroad Blues"
and "China Cat." Garcia's "Bird
Song" and "Deal," both written
with Robert Hunter, were great,
and, along with Lesh, he seemed
to enjoy the crowd's response to
"Iko Iko."
So much of a Dead show is the
people, everybody seems to be in
harmony, just enjoying the music
in one way or another. As I was
leaving the UVA show I noticed a
friend of mine sitting on the floor
in front of the stage. I asked him
if he enjoyed the show. Sweat was
streaming down his face and he
was breathing hard. "Nothin' like
a Dead show," he said, "just ain't
nothin' like it." "Yep," I had to
agree, "Absolutely."

Five County Fling
Film Series
By CINDY CORELL
"This has been a very popular
event here in the past few years;
there are always people standing
at the back because the
auditorium fills so fast," said Dr.
James W. Jordan of the 1982-83
Anthropology film series
beginning tomorrow night in
Bedford Auditorium.
The first film in the Series,
which will be shown Wednesday
at 7 : 30, is entitled Rivers of Sand,
a study of the Hamer people who
live in the Southern part of
Ethiopia, a country in Eastern
Africa.
The theme of the film is the
exploitation and subjugation of
women in the Hamer culture. The
men, through the culture of the
years, look down on women, give
women all the undignified, dirty
work, and handle the prestigious
jobs themselves, such as looking
after the cattle, animals of great
dignity in "^ the Hamer
community. Ironically, however,
the men are also placed in a
limited social world due to their
own unsocial attitudes toward
women; they can only associate
with other men for their
recreation and intellectual ideas.
The film was directed,
photographed, and narrated by
the world famous anthropological
film maker, Robert Gardner.
All films in the Anthropology
Film Series are free. A brief
introduction to the film and the
Hamer people will be given by
Dr. Jordan, Head of the
Anthropology Dept. All students,
faculty, and general public are
invited to attend.
Other films to be shown
throughout the semester are Holy
Ghost People and Floating in the
Air, October 20. The first film is a
record of religious fervor in a
West Virginia religious cult,
compared to the second film, a
recording of the Hindu Festival of
Thaipusam, in which Hindu holy
men enter entranced states.
The Hunters, will be shown
November 17; a film recording of
ten days in the life of a band of
King Bushmen of the Kalahari
Desert as the King hunters treck
and kill a giraffe.

Paul and Beth were strolling
through the fairgrounds at 9:30

sudden, Beth was jerked

suddenly? Why, to watch the

outside 'girl shows,' of course;
which entices all male viewers to
come inside for more.
However, this was not the case
this year. The Five County Fair
wanted to be a family fair, a
place where anyone could walk
through the fairgrounds and find
something to amuse themselves,
without having to avoid the back
comer.
Along with the girt shows not
being a part of this year's fair,
there was not the usual deformed
animals show, the show of
incredible feats and the haunted
house. I wonder if part of the
reason these shows were not here
this year is due to the coverage
that Little Richard's received
from the show 20-20.
Even though a lot of the
gimmicks were shown on 20-20
about the carnival games and
your chances to win, there were
still many people willing to spend
their money trying to win the
prizes.
So what happened to Paul and
Beth this year? Paul probably
stayed home since there were no
girl shows, and Beth probably
went with a friend or took her
little brother or sister.

ificial Intelligence
There is a red block underneath
a green block — the object is to
pick up the red block, so . . .
"Why did you pick up the green
block?"
"To get rid of it."
"Why did you do that?"
"So I could pick up the red
block."
"Why did you do that?"
"Because you told me to."
A "smart answer" to say the
least, and smartness would seem
to aptly summarize what was the
subject for the first Francis
Butler Simkins Lecture of this
year.
Held at Molnar Recital Hall in
Wygal Building, Longwood, last
Thursday, September 16, the
subject for the lecture was
Artificial Intelligence. The above
conversation according to
lecturer Dr. David L. Waltz,
professor of electrical
engineering at the University of
Illinois, was between a
programmer and a computer —
the computer is the one that said
"Because you told me to"
Simply defined. Artificial
Intelligence or AI is "the
endeavor to get computers to
do tasks which would be said to
require intelligence if people did
them." Not so simply put into
practice, Artificial Intelligence
has so far been used in GM
Assembly lines (literally picking
out defective products), as a
diagnostic tool for doctors
(generally used as second
opinion), as an aid in finding the
correct route on street maps, and
developing solutions to problems
(such as in a chess game), which
were previously thought
unsolvable.
It may well bring about what
Dr. Waltz likes to think of as a
second industrial revolution.
Some of the areas he feels AI has,
or will affect are: 1) Assembly;
2) Mining; 3) Automotive
Design; 4) Agriculture; 5)
Teaching; 6)Planning and
Inventory Control; 7) Household
Robots; 8) Space Exploration
and Development; 9) War
Application — "electronic
battlefields," "smart" bombs;
10) Possible Aids to the
Handicapped; 11) "Cognitive
Science — understanding our own
minds or "understanding
understanding."
"These computers could
become our libraries of the future
. . . providing access to all human
knowledge. They may answer
questions which can't be
answered now."
Of course there are draw-
backs — such as a possible "Big
Brother" scenario or extensive
use of AI in military technology.
But Dr. Waltz remains
optimistic, stressing the
adaptability of humans and
choosing to think that computers
(as in Isaac Asminov's "I,
Robot") will provide a far less
dangerous and physically less
harsh environment for humans —
"A soft, friendly environment,
where the machine watches out
for us."
But then one can never be too
sure with AI, which although
opening the door to a new Age of
Enlightenment, may also be
opening a Pandora's box, as Dr.
Waltz himself put it, "I don't
think any of us know what we're
getting into."
Dr. Waltz has been a consultant
for Hughes Aircraft Company,
Machine Intelligence
Corporation, Comtex Scientific
Corporation and others, has
published numerous professional
papers and articles, and has
lectured at major universities in
this country and abroad.
Last month, he served as
program chairman for the
National Conference on Artificial
Intelligence, and for thiee years
he was chairman of the
Association for Computing
Machinery's Special Interest
Group on Artificial Intelligence.
At the University of Illinois, his
group designed and constructed
an experimental English
language question-answering
system called PLANES that
served as a front end for a large
data base of Navy aircraft flight
and maintenance information.
Most recently. Dr. Waltz nas
been attempting to build systems
that combine his two central
interests — language and
perception.

So began a series of five
lectures mainly designed as
orientation programs for
freshmen but open to everyone.
The first in this series was
conducted in Bedford
Auditorium and dealt with
intimate relationships. Dr. Jay
Cox, director of counseling
services, introduced the program
and followed his introduction by a
short dissertation on
relationships and the initial
establishment of them He also
challenged the audience to deal
with anger. He suggested talking
openly about your anger and
getting the problem clearly
defined so that it can be
abolished. According to Dr. Cox,
"If you can deal with anger, and
you can clarify expecta-
tions...you can make your
relationship work."
After his mini-lecture Dr. Cox
turned the program to Dr. Ann
Barlow and her group of five
experts (previously selected for
the program) that served as a
panel to answer questions about
relationships.

NOTES
A Tribute
By CHRIS YOUNG
Twelve years ago last Sunday,
James Marshall Hendrix died at
the age of 27. He died by inhaling
his own vomit. It is still unclear
whether it was suicide, or an
accidential overdose of sleeping
pills.
What is clear is the fact that
Jimi Hendrix, to put it bluntly,
was the best guitarist ever. His
technique and raw talent were
overwhelming. Not only an
ambidextrous guitarist, he could
also play with his teeth. (Listen to
"Johnny B. Goode from
Soundtrack Experience, Volume
I).
Jimi Hendrix is also noted for
his extensive use of feedback and
distortion. Although groups like
the Who and the Yardbirds had
used distortion, Hendrix was the
only one who could harness it as a
lethal weapon. His overwhelming
guitar playing often
overshadowed his songwriting
ability. Although he did a lot of
cover versions of other people's
songs (i.e. "Wild Thing,"
"Johnny B. Goode" and even the
"Star Spangled Banner"), he
wrote a number of songs that are
now classics. ("Purple Haze,"
"Little Wing," "All Along the
Watch Tower").
Jimi Hendrix was discovered
by fonner Animals' bass, Chas
Chandler, who saw Hendrix
playing at a club in Grenwich
Village, and knew he had struck
gold. He released Jimi Hendrix to
the public.
In 1966, Hendrix was a
bluesman, but by 1967, The Jim
Hendrix Experience had charted
over three top 10 albums.
Having done everything with
his guitar from burning it to
fornicating with it, Jimi Hendrix
was dubbed "The Wild Man
Borneo."
This image was fitting, but not
true. Hendrix loved the blues,
and under all the show, he wanted
to play the blues.
According to his biography,
Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child of the
Aquarian Age (now called 'Scuse
Me While I Kiss the Sky), this
wild image, along with being
temporarily banned from
recording or performing sent
Hendrix into depression.
He never came out.
It is unclear what his impact
was, but it is safe to say that rock
music as we know it wouldn't be
the same without his influence.
Jimi Hendrix was the
Experience.

Greenwood will make a "quick

El Greco
Possibly the essential forebear
of today's free-spirited thinkers,
an artist called "El Greco" by
natives in his adopted city, was
the subject of a major
international exhibition held at
the National Gallery of Art in
Washington D.C., for two months
this summer. Barely catching the
last weekend of the touring
exhibition, about 25 Longwood
students and faculty travelled to
Washington to experience this
rare event.
The group left Farmville at 6
a.m. on Saturday, September 4,
for a day of museum touring,
lecture, discussion, and
questions.
El Greco was bom Domenikos
Theokopoules in Crete in 1515. At
36, he moved to Toledo, Spain
where his artistic work
flourished. The exhibition
consisted of 57 paintings, most of
which came from Spain. "From
what I could determine," said
trip coordinator. Dr. Elizabeth
Flynn, "the students were
fascinated to see originals of
great works of art." It took about
four or five years to put together
this exhibition, which travelled to
Toledo, Ohio September 6, and
will end its tour in Houston.
The L.C. students who went on
this trip, one of several art trips
planned this semester, had
reservations to go right into the
show without waiting in line, and
had the afternoon off to go
through the Smithsonian
Institute, or to see other art
exhibitions.
The Good Times
That We Had
By GWEN STEPHENSON
And that's exactly what we did
have, too, Wednesday night in the
Gold Room with singer -
songwriter John Paul Walters
and his friend — the bass player,
Frank Brown.
John Paul introduced "The
Good Times That We Had" as a
song about his college years at
the University of Florida. He and
a group of male friends rented a
house off campus. It came
unfurnished, but since the leader
of the gang was a graduate
student in horticulture, he and his
cronies stole $2000 worth of plants
from the university greenhouse,
and their bungalow promptly
became "The Garden Home."
John Paul is a player of piano,
guitar, banjo and dulcimer
(though he did not play the
dulcimer Wed. night, much to my
regret ). His home is in Nashville,

Tennessee, with wife Jan and
"the best dog in the whole
world," Jeremiah.
The first song he sang was
Simon & Garfunkel's
"Homeward Bound." The
audience of 50-75 students
promptly fell in love with his
easy, unaffected way. He
followed with a beautiful
rendition of J. Taylor's "Fire and
Rain." John Paul sang us a
couple songs of his own making,
"Fool's Gold" and "Angel."
"If an angel came to see you
would you make her feel at
home? Or would you let her pass
you by, and spend your life
alone?
If an angel came to see you and
you did not know her name,
would you let her be your friend
without knowing why she came?"
Then Mr. Walters did
something truly astonishing. He
encouraged a group of tired,
young college students to sing
along - "Fox on the Run," "Will
the Circle be Unbroken," "Rocky
Top," a fun song of his own called
"Country Boy." And did these
jaded, sophisticated college
students actually sing? They did
indeed, and had one hell of a good
time doing it, too.
He proceeded to mellow out his
audience; close out his show with
"Summertime" (from Porgy &
Bess, for you Broadway buffs),
done under soft blue lights.
looking for a handout and easy
way out, but so far we've found
very few like that. These people
want jobs and know they are hard
to find.
The parolees involved in
Project Breakthrough come from
all over the state. They can be
referred by any institution. The
office located in Farmville was
recently set up, but other offices
are located in Virginia. These
offices get their funds from the
federal government who supports *
them 100 percent.
The results from this program
have been so great. Mr^ Moore
wants to continue it for as long as
possible. He says, "As long as
they keep sending me guys, I'll
keep taking them."
Overall, the parolees here on
Longwood Campus have come a
long way. As Robert said, "I'd
like to keep on working...! don't
know where... somewhere. I'm
gonna save, buy a car... a popular
car." Then, with an air of
determination, he concludes, "a

Trible Speaks At Lankford
Paul Trible, the Republican
candidate for the U.S. Senate,
was in Farmville last Saturday at
a reception given in his honor by
the Prince Edward County
Republican Party. Mr. Trible,
who is currently serving as the
Congressman from the first
congressional district, spoke to a
gathering of approximately
seventy people in the Gold Room.
During his address, Trible stated
that his ability and experience
has been proven by his record for
the past six years in Congress.
Attacking his opponent, Trible
stated that Lieutenant Governor
Dick Davis was "not content with
the 98 billion tax package" and
wanted to raise taxes even
higher. Trible differentiated
himself even further from Davis
by expressing his firm belief that
the "problem in Washington is
not that taxes are too low — we
have to hold down on spending."
Before rushing off to catch the
plane that would take him to the
next stop in his campaign, Trible
was able to share his views
concerning a few current issues
with the Rotunda.
Rotunda: How do you stand on
votuntary prayer in school?
Trible: I'm for it.
Rotimda: As you know, many
people are calling for a nuclear
freeze. Do you believe that such
an action would be an effective
means of preventing a nuclear
war?
Trible: I was the first Virginian
to urge the Reagan
Administration to return to the
negotiating table with the Soviets
in the effort to achieve a fair and
enforceable arms reduction
treaty. Any nuclear freeze must
be accompanied by arms
reduction and verification.
Rotunda: The execution of
convicted murderer Frank
Coppola brought national at-
tention to Virginia and raised
questions concerning the place of
capital punishment in our
society. Do you believe Capital
punishment belongs in our
system of justice?
Trible: I believe there are certain
crimes that are premeditated
and cold bloodedly executed for
which capital punishment is an
appropriate sanction.
Rotimda: Are you for or against
gun control?
Trible: As a former prosecutor I
do not believe that gun control is
an effective means of stopping
the flow of firearms to the
criminal. Rather we need strict
and mandatory jail terms for the
people that carry dangerous
weapons on the commission of
crimes.
Rotunda: Recently, there have
been proposals favoring a cut
back on student assistance loans.
Do you support these cutbacks?
Trible: As a member of the
budget committee this year, I
supported a restoration of monies
for education and job training. I
fully support the student
Assistance programs that have
helped millions of young
Americans get a quality
education and become productive
citizens.
Rotunda: The Reagan
administration is calling for a
stronger National Defense. Do
you believe that these increases
are necessary?
Trible: I believe that we must
spend more money on National
defense but those monies must be
wisely spent. As a member of the
Armed Services Committee, I've
worked hard to encourage
innovative thinking about the
essential building blocks of a
strong national defense —
strategy and tactics, hardware,
and people.
From Coloring Books
By NATALIE BETZ and
RICHARD BRYANT
"When the project opened, the
workers colored in coloring
books. Now they are working
with lathes and turning out
perfectly good furniture," said
Pat Payne, a Pre-Med graduate
of Longwood, now Director of the
Tri-County Sheltered Workshop,
located on Depot Street in
Farmville, which attracts
workers from Prince Edward,
Cumberland, Buckingham,
Amelia, Nottoway, Lunenburg
and Appomattox Counties.
The Workshop opened in May
of 1976 as a satellite of Sheltered
Workshop of Lynchburg, Inc. As
of October 1, the Workshop will
become legally independent of
the Lynchburg Workshop. It is a
non-profit corporation whose
purpose is to give the mentally,
physically and emotionally
handicapped people a chance to
learn a trade, earn a salary and
learn to fend for themsleves.
Walking into the workshop is a
little surprising. It is a very old,
somewhat drab building filled to
the hilt with furniture, clothes
and equipment. However, the
people who work there seem very
To Lathes
content with their work and with
themselves. Barbara, who has
been with the workshop for six
years, says, "I like the work."
She does chair caning and
woodwork. When asked if she
learned her jobs easily, she
smiled and replied, "It all came
in no time at all." All of the
workers seem to have had little
trouble learning their jobs and
are proud of their development.
When speaking with Pat
Payne, she expresses her total
devotion to the workshop, "I'm in
love with my job, although it is
the hardest job I've ever had.
And these are the finest people
I've ever worked with." She feels
the job is rewarding and said,
"I've seen lives changed in
here."
The people often work with
complex and dangerous tools.
While walking through the
workshop, one can see a young
woman caning a chair with an
extremely sharp knife, handling
it with dexterity, diligence and
little concern of danger. There
have been no major accidents at
the workshop since its opening.
Becky, who has been in the
workshop's employ for a year,
beamed with excitement while
telling about her new
responsibility of answering the
phone. She sat at the side of an
aisle, near the telephone,
anticipating the chance to use her
recently acquired skill.
"A lot of businessmen are not
willing to go out on a limb and
give these people a chance. They
have a very hard time finding a
job," said Jesse Spivey, a
vocational skills trainer. "I think
these people just need a chance to
prove themselves in the outside
world. They will give it a damn
good try."
Workers arrive at the
Workshop by buses or by private
transportation Monday through
Friday; and work average hours.
Specific jobs are upholstering,
woodworking, chair caning, and
furniture refinishing. They are
presently refinishing a sofa and
two chairs for Longwood
administrative offices.
Currently, the workers are

Registration
Dr. Chuck Ballard, chairman
of the Voter Registration
Campaign (sponsored by
Farmville Jaycees) is recruiting
helpers from Longwood campus
in his effort to register voters for
the November elections. Two
campus groups Alpha Phi
Omega, a coed national
fraternity and the Sociology and
Anthropology club of Longwood,
have volunteered their assistance
in distributing door to door flyers
and setting up information booths
in front of several local
businesses.
To register, go to the Town
Municipal building room no. 1
from 9:00-12:00 and 1:00-5:00
planning a new project to sell
deck chairs to Longwood and
Hampden-Sydney students. The
chairs will be made from oak
wood with canvas backing, a
moisture resistant finish. The
chairs can be easily
disassembled for moving and are
available in six colors. They will
also be available with fraternity
and sorority insignias and college

Donh let the Bastards get you Down
"So hail the Bastards! Merry-
be-gbt I
Give credit where it's due!
But who knows which one,
which are not?
Could I be one? could you?
For many a man rocks another
man's cradle
While he thinks he is rocking
his own,
And many a dame — like the
isphinx with its riddle,
In her heart seals her secret
alone." Guy Hoover
"So you're a Longwood College
student eh?"
"Yes sir"
"terrible, terrible"
Dr. George W. Jeffers was not
one to mince words, nor topics for
books, his favorite at this time
being bastards or those people
conceived or bom out of wedlock.
"It seemed interesting... it is
interesting!" One couldn't argue
with the rationale nor the man who
sat before rne. At 85 Dr. Jeffers
is, to say the least, energetic and
not a little bit spicy. His study
reflects his personality. Wide
open windows and a desk
cluttered with lists of things —
things some people may call
intriguing, things others may call
downright distraceful...like
bastards, for instance.
He has an adamant fear that
Jerry Falwell will bum a cross in
his lawn some night. "People
don't understand... just because a
man's a bastard doesn't mean
he's no good. ..he's just
illegitimate. In other words, we
can't inherit a crown or title. ..it's
a wonderful topic, really!"
Perhaps by comparison, it is a
wonderful topic or at least not as
controversial as say, a dictionary
of famous homosexuals, a topic
which he "had to bum up... there
were too many of them now
everybody's a homosexual." But
bastards; bastards are special
people — Leonardo da Vinci was
one, so was Charlemagne,
William the Conquerer,
Cleopatra, Alexander Hamilton,
Erasmus, Lawrence of Arabia,
Rod McKuen and Fidel Castro.
Also several popes and saints
were among figures who entered
the world outside the bonds of
wedlock, according to the list of
approximately 1,000 bastards
that the retired Longwood
biology professor has been
assembling over the past 25 to 30
years. Recently the Ust has been
distilled and the biographical
backgrounds expanded and
embellished in Dr. Jeffers' new
book "The Bustard's Book."
There was, he indicates, a
certain element of the biologist in
him that has nourished his
interest in compiling names and
biographies of noteworthy
bastards over the years "as a
biologist, I knew there was
something to hybridization and
how "genetic lines sometimes
yield outstanding products
through hybridization... some of
the top brains who ever existed
were bastards."
Much of his material is
obtained from biographies which
Dr. Jeffers, a voracious reader,
is instantly reviewing. Also an
organization named the
Barsinister society has given
their support and available
information on living bastards to
Dr. Jeffers. Not surprisingly the
Barsinister society is made up of
bastards who decided to organize
themselves and do exactly what
Dr. Jeffers had already done —
compile a list of notable bastards.
Archeology Ace
Second Article of a
Two-Part Series)
By CINDY CORELL
"What's so special about this
site is that it is 'my baby'," said
Bob Flippen of third site in
conjunction with others on
Hampden-Sydney College
campus. "Dr. Jordan has given
me all the responsibility of it,
especially the administrative
part, which is the experience 1
need." Bob has been very
involved in these three
archeology sites and is very
excited atwut the third. He is
looking for volunteers for the
excavation in October.
The first site on H-SC campus,
offically called H-Sl, was
discovered when Mrs. Josiah
Bunting, the president's wife,
was having work done on a
building behind the president's
home. The building is believed to
be a slave cabin. A trustee of the
college had donated funds to have
the buildnig restored fur a guest
house. Workmen ripped up the
floor of the building and found
several blue bottles. Mrs.
Bunting called in Dr. James W.
Jordan of the I^ongwood Anth-
ropology Department to
invf^stigate this find. Dr. Jordan
called Bob, who is considered an
expert of historic bottles.
Bob came down the following
weekend from George
Washington University to check
out the bottles and became very
interested in the entire project.
Dr. Theodore R. Reinhart,
Associate Professor of
Anthropology from William and
Mary College also came to the aid
of the crew as a field consultant.
"His expertise was very
important in identifying objects
and dating them," said Dr.
Jordan, "and his efforts were
entirely a labor of love for
anthropology's sake."
Dr. Jordan called for
volunteers to help excavate the
site. It was the perfect time for
archeology — mid-spring and
L.C. students came out several
weekends. Near the middle of the
completion of the excavation, the
school term ended and the
Longwood Anthropology Field
School began. Nineteen students
in the Field School went to the
site and finished the excavation.
The slave cabin had three
rooms and each room was
gridded into quadrants. In the
room that the original bottles
were found, the students found
more, about 200 total, ceramic
wares, two VMI cadet brass
buttons, and many small animal
skeletons.
The bottles could be aged by
type of manufacture. Evidence of
their manufacture lies mainly in
the seam up the side of the bottle:
if the seam continues up the side
to the neck of the bottle, it was
made by machine; if the seam
endes before the neck, it was
hand made because the neck was
put on by hand. Both types of
these methods of manufacture
were found in the slave cabin
floor, so the bottles were left
there during the transition of
bottle manufacture, about the
1800's to the 1920's.
In another room, the students
uncovered a pit, believed to be a
root cellar. They found old bricks
in the formation of a cellar
foundation below the floor of the
oldest room in the cabin. The root
cellar has now been restored,
covered by a trap door and can
easily be viewed as it is thought
to have been when it was used.
When the L.C. Anthropology
Field School came out to the H-Sl
site, Mrs. Bunting realized that
all 19 of the students would
not fit comfortably in the small
cabin, so she suggested that they
move half of the students over to
another project on the campus:
digging for the foundations of the
original (1776) Hampden-Sydney
buildings. The exact layout of the
original buildings was not known
with certainty. So "in order to
pick a starting point for our dig,"
Dr. Jordan said, "we used two
methods, the first being that
using clues from old documents,
such as insurance policies, to
help determine the actual
measurements and probable
locations of the buildings."
Diaries were also useful. The
second method was talking to
groundsmen who had worked at
the campus for many years, and
can still remember when the
foundations were visible.
Once a probable site was
determined, H-S2 and a datum,
or center point established, the
students dug four twenty-five foot
trenches, about ten inches deep,
from the datum point in north,
east, south and west directions.
They discovered the foundation
of a building which is believed to
be the kitchen of the original
home of the college's president.
The types of artifacts found in
the excavation included the
rubble of the kitchen's foundation
and objects that would be
commonly found in a kitchen,
such as cutlery, animal bones
with butchering marks and
crockery.
Thirty-two clay pipestems
Somewhat disheartened, but
being bastards persevering, they
swore allegiance and aide to Dr.
Jeffers and as he put it "did the
dirty work."
The Bastard's Book includes
more than just biographies of
bastards. Dr. Jeffers points out
emphatically, there are also
synonyms which have an
interesting history of his own.
"Love accident," "Love child",
"Merry-be-Got" and "Son of a
Gun."
"Son of a Gun" is a term that
has a dual origin. One version is
that it refers to a soldiers
illegitimate child. Another is that
it comes from the Napoleanic
period when women were often
allowed on ships, with the result
that an occasional baby would be
bom aboard. It was believed that
labor was facilitated by fright,
and a gun would be fired to
frighten the prospective mother.
There are of course, different
types of bastards — women
bastards, black bastards,
military bastards, adventurer
and explorer bastards, artists
bastards, politian bastards,
bastards of fiction and mythology
were also found, common
artifacts from sites like this,
along with several parts of guns,
flash pan of a rifle, shot and flint
of a rifle. Many pieces of metal
were also discovered some of
which can be identified, some
which remain a mystery.
Mrs. Bunting commented at
the completion of the site
excavation, that she hoped that
the Longwood Field School would
return to H-SC for further work.
This past summer. Bob Flippen
was traveling past the site and
noticed some activity which
would lead to Mrs. Bunting's
hope coming true. A team of
telephone company workmen
were close to the H-S2 site doing
some salvage work before
construction of a new dormitory
begins.
During this salvage work, Bob
noticed that the men were finding
parts of another foundation,
which would have been in the
eastem shadow of the kitchen, H-
S2. This site is now the official
proving ground for students
interested in Archeology. This is
the project that Bob needs
volunteers for.
Bob has planned an evening of
orientation the week after Fall
Break which will introduce and
intrigue those students who are
not especially knowledgeable
about archeology, but at least
interested in the subject. He will
talk about past work at these
sites, his plans for this
excavation and show slides of
previous excavation as
introduction to archeological
excavations.
Interested students are
encouraged to contact the
Department of Anthropology and
Sociology, second floor Hiner at
392-9277, as soon as possible.
(Hercules, Oliver Twist,
Romulus and Renus etc.) even
golf pro bastards (would you
believe Lee Trevino).
Considering the excellent
background of many of his
bastards cue question seemed
particularly appropriate, are you
a bastard? Dr. Jeffers laughed.
"No", I'm not a bastard". He
seemed almost disappointed.
Dr. Jeffers was bom in 1897 in
Freshwater, New Foundland.
After becoming a United States
citizen in 1938, he obtained his
B.S. and M.A. degrees from
Boston University and his
doctorate in marine biology from
the University of Toronto in 1931.
Dr. Jeffers was one of the co-
founders of the National
Association of Biology teachers
and was a professor of biology for
42 years at Longwood College,
where he resided as chairman of
the science department. The
science auditorium at Longwood
is named after him. His book will
be available at the Ix)ngwood
Bookstore beginning September
28 and he will be on hand to
sign editions from 3:30-4:30,
September 29.
For
The
Record
The salary supplement which.
Longwood President Dr.
Greenwood has received is part
of a college contract which calls
for a specific percentage ( 15 per
cent) of the state salary to be
provided for through college
funds.
Longwood payed for the
supplement of $8,006 from
interest income on the
Foundation's board unrestricted
endowment fund (of about
$230,000).
The Faculty Staff Fund
Campaign was funneled into the
Second Founders Fund, which is
a restricted fund whose purpose
is to build college and conununity
relations. "Not a penny has been
expended." said Dan Lemish
head of the Office of Institutional
Advancement.
Athletic scholarships for
Longwood students come from
two major sources — student fees
and private gifts. Approximately
1.31 per cent of a student's fee of
1,360 goes towards athletic
scholarships.
Funding for Dr. Greenwood's
inauguration came from state
funds appropriated for the
inauguration and private
donations. Since the ceremony
was combined with Founders
Day and Spring weekend, the
estimated cost for just the
inauguration was between $2,500
and $3,000.
Editor's Turn

THE ROUTNDA
Page 3
Your Turn
A blue and beige pamphlet has
been circulating the campus
lately, running from hand to hand
and spreading like an amiable
germ bug, from mouth to mouth.
Its topic is most definitely in
vogue and quite the "thing" to be
up on for pleasant dinner
conversation and cocktails.
Preventing Nuclear War is its
title and it compiles a list of facts
which may possibly lend truth to
the proverb "History is the
propaganda of the Victors."
I'm not saying what's in
this little pamphlet is completely
false, but they do manage to
jump over a few essential facts to
reach their conclusion. "As a
result, any sudden freeze (in the
Nuclear arms bilateral build up)
would penalize the West for
showing considerable restraint
during the same period the
Soviets were having the largest
military build-up in World
History." They (being "the
Conrunittee to Prevent Nuclear
War" who wrote the pamphlet,
and who no doubt contributed to
Reagan's Campaign fund or vice
versa ) base their conclusion on a
somewhat biased (do I
understate? — certainly)
historical perspective on military
actions undertaken in the global
theatre for the last 20-30 years.
Their contention is that from 19-
45-1950 the U.S. and Britain did
not use their superior power to
dominate others and that from
1950^ the same basic policy
prevailed.
Biddledash: in 1946 Great
Britain, after invading and
conquering Greece after the
Nazi's occupation, found itself
unable to hold their conquest
(more than likely due to their
restoring royalists elements and
Nazi collaborators to state power
in Greece).
The United States, seeing
armed resistance developing,
displaced Britain under the
auspices of the American Mission
for Aid to Greece (AMAG) and
lent its "fervent and
uncompromising support to state
violence, which included the
imprisonment without trials of
tens of thousands of people in
concentration camps where
they were subject to
'reindoctrination'." (Noam
Chomsky. Towards a new cold
war (pp. 198 and 199) "if" in the
words of the AMAG chief "they
were found to have affiliations
which cast grave doubt upon their
loyalty to the state."
U.S. Charge Karl Rankin
warned later in 1948 that "there
must. ..be no leniency toward the
confirmed agents of an alien and
subversive influence." He argued
that execution of political
prisoners (in Greece) was
legitimate because even though
when arrested they may not have
been "hardened communists, it is
unlikely that they (would) have
been able to resist the influence
of communist indoctrination
organizations existing within
most prisons."
"U.S. intelligence also engaged
in extensive surveillance of
Greek citizens and assisted the
government in carrying out mass
deportations of alleged
subversives to concentration
camps and reduction centers."
(Noam Chomsky: Towards A New
Cold War pp.198-199)
When a British official objected
to rounding up 14,000 people and
exiling them without trial to
island concentration camps,
American Ambassadors Lincoln
Mac Veagh responded that the
Greek government "had to throw
their net very wide to catch
the right people," whom he
estimated at atiout "a dozen key
men."
The list goes on.
For the last twenty years or so
the United States has carried on
a number of similar (if more
covert) actions against Cuba.
Apart from the attempts to
assassinate Castro, which are
well known, terrorists actions
(sponsored by the U.S.
government, via the Cl^)included
attacks on fishing boats and
Cuban civilian installations, and
poisoning of crops and
livestock. . Taylor Branch and
George Crile III authors of "The
Kennedy Venditta: Our Secret
War on Cuba" estimate that the
four-year campaign involved
several thousand men and cost as
much as $1(X) million a year. "As
late as 1964, the Agency was
landing weapons in Cuba every
week and sending up to fifty
agents on missions to destroy oil
refineries, railroad bridges and
sugar mills ...and large scale
raids aimed at blowing up
refineries and chemical plants."
Including ironically, an attack on
a Texaco Oil refinery.
More recently in El Salvador,
reports from the Hondura border
describe the nature of the
government which the U.S. is
supporting, advising, training
and arming.
David Blundy of the Sunday
Times (London) spent ten days in
the Iwrder area interviewing
doctors, priests, Honduran
soldiers, Salvadoran refugees
and members of church aid
groups who "Provided
overwhelming evidence of
atrocities of increasing brutality
and repression by the Honduran
army as well as the Salvadorians
who are carrying out what can
only be described as mass
extermination of thousands of
peasants living in the area," in a
"coordinated military campaign
by the Salvadoran military,
assisted by the Honduran army
with — according to Honduran
sources — the support of the
United States."
The Council on Hemispheric
Affairs wrote in 1980: "More
people have died in El Salvador
during the past year, largely as
the result of government
condoned right wing "death
squad" killings, than in all other
nations of Latin America
combined... The death toll
reached almost 10,000 with the
vast majority of the victims
falling prey to the right-wing
terrorism sanctioned by key
government officials. These
countless killings have gone
unpunished and even
uninvestigated as the
governments own military and
police force are almost always
involved in them."
One can check the histories of
Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua
and ah yes, the Achilles heel,
Vietnam to find further
incidences of the U.S. and its
allies "not using" their superior
power to dominate others. Not
only does the pamphlet have such
minor oversights as those listed
above, it also contains a rather
glaring oversight in basic logic.
For instance, what are we
deterring by a nuclear arms
build-up — the U.S.S.R. from
dropping 20,000 megatons worth
of explosives on us.. .seconds
before we drop the same on
them? — hardly.
In the Spring issue of Foreign
AffairsGeorgeMcBundy.George
F. Kennan, Robert S. McNamara
and Gerard Smith put forth a
credible alternative to the arms
race which would allow for "our"
(NATO and U.S.) security and a
no-first use policy. They realize
that "The Soviet government is
already aware of the awful risk
inherent in any use of these
weapons, and there is no current
or prospective Soviet
"Supenority" that would tempt
anyone in Moscow toward
nuclear adventurism."
Their idea locates the sensitive
point for any probable Soviet
conventional aggression— The
Federal Republic of Germany -
and contends that a conventional
arms build-up in this region and
others possible "sensitive zones"
(enough to deter the threat of a
possible conventional Soviet
attack) would allow the U.S. to
drop its "asserted willingness to
be the first... to use P"dear
weapons to defend (con-
ventional) aggression in Europe"
— the reason for its 37 year old
"nuclear umbrella."
The advantages of such a
proposal are manifold first, we
can escape from the notion that
we must somehow watch
everything "the rocket
commanders in the Soviet Union
extract from their government."
Second, it would allow us to give
up the idea of deploying a neutron
bomb which has caused so much
anxiety for Western Europeans
(particularly West Germans —
and with good cause). Third, —
"the savings permitted by a more
modest nuclear arms program
could go toward meeting the
financial costs of our contribution
to conventional forces."
Last and perhaps most
important, a build-up of
conventional arms would reduce
(if not altogether eliminate) the
risk of conventional aggression in
Europe, which, in a situation
where NATO conventional arms
might be lacking, could lead to
that decisive moment when the
finger hits the little red button —
boom.
To the Editor, Rotunda
I have never before written a
letter to the editor of a college
newspaper, for I have always
believed that a college paper
exists primarily for the students
it serves, both as a training
ground for tomorrow's jour-
nalists and as an information
medium. While I have frequently
been appalled enough — and
occasionally outraged
sufficiently — to write to the
editor of the Rotunda about
incidents at Longwood, I have
always resisted the temptation.
Until now.
Sometime last Tuesday night
four unabridged dictionaries
were taken from four classrooms
in the Grainger building; the
dictionaries had been bound to
specially built tables and secured
by light chains to the table's
frame to discourage "impulsive
borrowing," but everyone knew
that such precautions would not
prevent their theft if one were
determined to remove them.
What a thoughtless, mindless,
insensitive, cowardly action! And
who are the losers? Not the
English Department, nor its
faculty, for we won't replace
them. As usual in such matters,
the students will lose — today's
students and tomorrow's
students. And they will lose not
merely the convenience of having
a dictionary available for their
use while writing in-class themes
or taking tests; they will also lose
in countless other unknown ways,
for the little touches undertaken
by faculty members and
administrators alike to improve
Longwood's learning
environment will no longer be
undertaken: why bother to help
those who don't want to be
helped.
And no cop-outs, please, from
those of you not involved in this
particular incident, because
there are enough of you out there
who know about this and similar
incidents who by your silence
appear to condone the actions of
the few, and thereby encourage
further mindless and anti-social
actions against Longwood's
entire community: false fire
alarms, stair-well and hall dorm
fires, broken statues of Joan of
Arc, and too many other signs
and symbols of sick and diseased
minds. W.L. FRANK
Editors Note: The Dictionaries
cost approximately $57.00 each
when bought. Cost for
replacements will probably be
higher.
To the Editor:
I wish to address several points
of Mr. Shanahan's letter of Sept.
21, and render an adverse point of
view: specifically, mine.
I am entering my fourth and
hopefully final year at Longwood.
Since my initial enrollment, I
have patiently endured the food,
out of touch administrators, and
traditions that each year become
more obsolete, and seemingly out
of place at a college. Why?
Because I felt that I was getting
something which could aid me in
later life, an opportunity I was so
fortunately afforded, an
education. I, as Mr. Shanahan,
rank this college high on my list,
but as a result of the recent
administrative "flushing", feel
neither left out nor put down, and
certainly not kicked in the seat.
Rather, I find it admirable to
speak to an administrator
without the customary
drumming of fingers, clock
watching, and the occasional sigh
of "yea, sure" as the only retort.
Why even Mr. Shanahan, in his
letter, has shown the
compatability of the new
members in that he has already
established a first name basis!
He speaks so fondly of CHI, blue
and white, and other traditions,
but admits they are neandethal.
These "traditions" were brought
into being by girls, for girls.
Perhaps were some of these
"girly" traditions disbanded, so
would be the ever-present "Girls
School" label that Longwood has
carried for so long.
The banners in the dining hall
were also a target of his rage.
Well put this in youi' Kazoo and
foot it, Mr. Ra Ra: I find it
disgusting to eat in a dining hall
which is randomly strewn with
posters spouting irrelevance
about someone's birthday.
Really, besides the birthday
person, and a handful of friends,
who cares? Anything
newsworthy can be referred to
the campus bulletin. So you want
balloons and streamers? HA!
Grow up, this is college, not
romper room!
You have a good point about the
school colors, Colin, they should
not need changing. In fact, they
should have been changed long
ago, when the co-ed transition
was made. Baby blue just rubs
me the wrong way. Have you
noticed the flag pole behind the
new smoker? Baby blue indeed!
Finally, if and when I do
graduate, I will assume the
mighty alumni status, or should I
say, the mighty $$ status, and will
be able to exercise a minute
influence over this college. I for
one, will not financially support
an Alma Mater that promotes the
practice of dressing up a bunch of
immature quiche eaters as
"Klowns" (one would think a
college student able to spell
"clown") and allowing them to
run rampant through the college
community harassing hell out of
anyone who happens by. (I won't
even get started on these damn
elves!) Nor will I boast school
colors that should be reserved for
female's undergarments.
As times change, it becomes
necessary to evaluate the
reassess values, principles, and
most certainly traditions.
Longwood, although quite slowly,
is progressing. The changes Mr.
Shanahan has cited in his letter
are somewhat less than
landmark. If anything, these
minor alterations serve to
enhance Ix)ngwood's growth, not
hinder it.

THE ROTUNDA
September 28, 1982
On Preventing Misconceptions
There is a story which has
floated from word of mouth
among social workers and
circulated throughout the halls of
most welfare departments. It is
about a woman who had gone to a
doctor and received a number of
tubes of contraceptive jelly. She
did not come back to the doctor
for a few months, but when she
did her condition was not
good. ..she was 2 months
pregnant. The doctor was
perplexed and asked the woman
if she had used the contraceptive
jelly he had given her. "Yes" she
replied, "I put it on my husbands
toast every morning."
Not a very pleasant incident,
but one which can be avoided
with a proper education about
contraceptives and their use. In
1979 a Longwood clinic for male
and female students began at the
Prince Edward County Health
Department to do just that. Since
then it has grown to the point
where one female student
estimates that at least one in five
Longwood students
(predominantly female) use the
facility.
The Prince Edward County
Health Department is located
behind the Farmville County
Courthouse. It is a rather blank
building with no billboards
advertising its presence except a
small "private parking doctors
only" sign. Miss Lucy Ferguson
director of the department
explained that no advertising was
really necessary since "it is a
free service" and word travels
quickly when there is a need. It
has gradually built up over the
years but lately has undergone
some mishaps which have caused
a delay in the usual once a month
clinic.
"One of our clinicians (Dr.
Terry) died over the summer and
we've had to shuffle some clinics
— recombine them. We are in the
process of re-organizing and hope
to begin the services (the
Longwood Clinic) sometime in
the middle of October, after fall
break."
Mrs. Ferguson explained the
procedure for the clinic. "A
student comes in and requests an
appointment with the Longwood
Clinic. At the time of the
appointment they register and on
eligibility determination is made.
(Since most college students are
not financially well off they are
generally eligible). A registered
nurse then talks to them and does
a medical and nursing history —
chronic diseases, blood tests,
allergies, etc. She then talks with
the students and explains various
methods of contraception and
any other topics the students may
want to discuss. After the
discussion, the students see a
clinician and nurse practitioner
who does a complete physical
examination, (including PAP test
for females) and the types of -
available contraceptives which
would be best for them is
would be best for them are
determined in conjunction with
the students wishes. (Some
students can not take birth
control pills due to medical
reasons.) They are also taught
self-breast examinations. These
services are of course provided
on an individual basis. After
Seeing the doctor or nurse
practitioner they are reviewed on
the methods of using the different
types of contraceptives — and the
risks and side effects of each. We
do follow ups for abnormal tests
results and get in touch with the
student referring her to a doctor
if necessary (this is done
confidentially if the girl
wishes)".
Mrs. Ferguson thinks the clinic
is good but admits that it is
overcrowded. "A possible
option" she said "is the
Longwood clinic being based over
at (Longwood) campus" but that
is "still under discussion." The
clinic itself is federally funded so
if a federal cut in the program
were to go into effect Miss
Ferguson said that "it may turn
out that there will be a payment"
required for the services.
Dr. Phyllis Mable, vice
president of Student Affairs has
said she will
take an active part in "assuring
these services are available" to
Longwood students — with or
without payment.
In Search of...Hotspots
By DEBBIE RIPPY
Where does one find it? In this
vast metropolitan area there
must be a single locality, a
unique location that Longwood
students swarm to like bees to
honey. So, where are these
places. Where does everybody go
when there aren't campus events
or Cox is not a rockin'. I began
my search in the heart of urban
Farmville.
My first stop was Beegles. The
rustic looking walls, the red and
green color scheme, and the
bathtub .salad bar provide you
with a different and relaxed
atmosphere until about 8:30 when
the juke box is turned up and 'fun'
the theme.
The busie.st time is from 5:30-8
nightly and on Wednesday during
' iappy Hour Orientation, which is
9-11 with two choice beverages on
lap. About 85 percent of the
business at this time is from the
college with the biggest seller
being the I^ongwood Weekend.
According to manager Kent
Rock, "It 'snot a bar. We're just a
restaurant with golden
beverages."
My next stop was Pino's. Here,
when I first walked in, I got the
impression of it being one big
party or family reunion from the
arrangement of the seats.
It is close enough to walk to
from the college which provides
about 75 percent of the business
from 5-9 nightly. They have two
choice beverages to go along with
their biggest seller, pizza. They
also have delivery service to
Longwood College.
A stuffed fox, three guns and
two tobacco baskets displayed on
the walls of the Fox Hunt Inn
really gives the place a country
look and a family type
atmosphere. The busiest time is
from 3-7 Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Thursday's big
attraction is the spaghetti dinner,
and the fresh seafood really
packs them in on Friday and
Saturday. About 70 percent of this
business is from the college
students, which also includes
Hampden-Sydney College, who
really go for the spaghetti.
The Upper Den will be coming
as soon as the main problem of a
fire escape can be settled. They
will serve basically deli
sandwiches upstairs and have six
beverages on tap. A Happy Hour
is provided for students at
present though.
Having been recently
remodeled, Perini's still reflects
the college atmosphere by
sometimes having both the juke
box and television on
simultaneously, especially when
a big game or other sports event
is on. The busiest time is 5-8 on
Friday and Saturday nights or
since they are so close to walk to,
when the dining hall is seiving
fish or liver and onions. At these
times, 50-60 percent of the
business is from the college,
which also includes Hampden-
Sydney College, and 40 percent
during the week.
They have seven choice
beverages to go along with their
biggest seller, pepperoni pizza.
There is no Happy Hour, but they
do provide free chips and pretzels
for anyone who wants to just
come in and drink.
Being more restaurant than a
fast food or takeout service,
Sunny's Cafe does specialize in
some deU sandwiches. Over the
Christmas holiday they do hope
to become a more progressive
cafe with candles, plants, good
music and a lot of atmosphere.
They are the busiest all night
Friday when about 98 percent of
that is college students. Their
Mood Modification Hour is from
5-7 with eight choice beverages.
According to owner Judy
Johnson, "We just want a place
where people will come and be
happy. We want to see the energy
that they (the college students)
have brought."
Last but not least, we have the
Pioneer Inn. The exterior is that
of a log cabin and the interior is
virtually all wood. It has a
country atmosphere from the
appearance, a relaxed
atmosphere for dining and a
"let's have fun" atmosohere

Your Turn
Editor, The Rotunda,
No doubt most of you have
heard the ROTC cadets running
around campus at unheard of
hours in the morning. Judging
from the feedback we've gotten,
you are in one of two groups. You
either love it or hate it. To those
of you who love it, thanks for your
support. To those of you who hate
it, let me explain a few things to
you.
The physical training program
was voted on and approved by the
cadets themselves. The cadets
who participate have made a
commitment to serve in the
Army as officers upon
graduation. Life as an Army
officer is a demanding
experience, both physically and
mentally. These cadets realize
this and want to start preparing
now. So you ask, why 6:00 a.m.?
As anyone who has tried to
organize an event in the
afternoon or evening will tell you,
it is impossible to find a time
after classes when everyone can
meet. We've got to do it in the
morning if we're to have
maximum participation. What
really bothers you, however, is
all the noise. Calling cadence
when the entertainment arrives.
The busiest times are Tuesday,
Friday and Saturday nights.
Tuesday is ladies' night with
sounds by Clay. About 99 percent
of this is from the college.
Fridays and Saturdays have
either a jazz or country band,
(Continued on Page 5)
while running is an Army
tradition. It makes the running
easier. No one in their right mind
likes to run that early. The
cadence calling helps to take
their minds off how tired they
are. When you hear the singing
outside your dorm, try to
remember that these people are
the future leaders of our
coimtry's Army. You will soon be
relying on them to defend you and
the freedoms you enjoy. I cannot
imagine that you would want this
responsibility to be given to
someone who cannot withstand
the physical demands that
accompany it. So when you hear
them outside, in the dark, don't
curse them, thank them.
Someone has to shoulder the
responsibility of our country's
defense. Because they have
volunteered to do it, you don't
have to.
CPT Tom Stanford
Army ROTC
Escort Service
As Service Chairman of Alpha
Sigma Phi fraternity, I would like
to announce that we are
continuing our escort service,
which was started last year. Any
Longwood lady who has a place to
go late at night and does not want
to run the risk of having to walk
alone may phone one of the
brothers for an escort. A Ust of
participating brothers will be
placed in the office of all female
and co-ed dorms. Don't walk
alone!

Notes
By CHRIS YOUNG
After releasing Night in the
Ruts, Aerosmith went poof! Lead
guitarist Joe Perry left and
formed the Joe Perry Project.
They have released two albums
so far.
Aerosmith was still "poofed."
Then rhythm guitarist Brad
Whitford left Aerosmith and
formed the Whitford-St. Hohnes
Band. They released one album
(a loser).
Well low and behold, Aerosmith
started to read want ads, and
they picked up two new
guitarists: Jimmy Crespo and
Rick Dufay.
And then they got cooking, and
said, "Wow man, let's make a
record!"
Soooo, they made a record
called Rock in a Hard Place.
In usual Aerosmith fashion, the
album has a couple of good cuts,
a couple of real stinkers, and a
couple of, "I'll listen to you once
and put you on my shelf" cuts.
Side I starts out with what is
definitely the best song on the
album, Jailbait. It's got a really
fast, driving beat. Whatever
singer Steven Tyler sings is
copied by the guitar, which gives
it a really nice effect. Now the
bad point about Jailbait. What is
it about? I'm sorry Mr. Tyler, but
you have just received this year's
"Most Unaudible Voice Award."
Lightning Strikes is a song
about a gang rumble in a parking
lot, complete with chains, guns,
and unaudible vocals.
The beginning of Bitch's Brew
sounds almost identical to
Seasons of Wither on their album
Get Your Wings. What a
coincidence.
Now for this week's trivia
question. What would you get if
you played Walk This Way on 16
r.p.m.? You guessed it! The
Bolivian Ragamuffin!
Moving right along, we come to
Cry Me A River. Nice song. A
really nice song, (ballad)
Flip the old record over, and we
come upon one of the two songs
about Joanie.
Prelude to Joanie sounds like
E.L.O. imitating Robert Plant
having a baby. Yuck.
Joannie's Butterfly is an
unsuccessful attempt to sound
like Led Zeppelin. Yuck!
The title track (also called
Chesire Cat) isn't bad at all. In
fact it's rather good! (finally a
bright spot in this dark album).
The Gig is Up. I hate songs like
this. There's nothing to it, and the
beat is awful. You guessed it,
yuck!
Finally we come to the last
track. It's called Push Conies to
Shove (no, it's not a Van Halen
cover version). It's kind of a
rock-blues-boogie song. I'll call it
Bloogie! I really like this song. It
kind of makes you want to lean
against a wall, cock your hat, and
snap your fingers.
Good song to end the album
with.
All in all, this is just your
average Aerosmith album, with a
few goodies, and a lot of badies.
If you're an Aerosmith groupie,
you're probably used to their
good-bad ratio, so you'll enjoy.

Movie Review
ByLYNLEYDOWS
In response to a present need
for recreational opportunities
and services for handicapped
individuals of both the Longwood
College and surrounding
communities a wheelchair
basketball team is in the process
of being organized. Mr. Frank M.
Brasile, Coordinator of
Handicapped Student Services at
Longwood College, and the
Therapeutic Recreation
Organization are coordinating
and sponsoring the efforts of
players and supporters to create
an opportunity for individuals
with permanent physical
disabilities of the lower
extremities to engage in
;wheelchair basketball as a
recreational pursuit. Disabilities
such as amputation, paralysis, or
joint injuries which prohibit one
from playing conventional
competitive sports would qualify
an individual to participate with
the wheelchair basketball team.
Although the individuals will
compete in wheelchairs, they
need not be wheelchair bound.
The team meets once a week to
practice and prepare for the
approximate ten game schedule
which will tentatively include a
Virginia Beach tournament with
seven other teams. Currently the
team is comprised of four
disabled Longwood students, two
individuals from the Appomattox
area, and one from Nottoway.
This program, although
presently limited to basketball, is
a conmiunity outreach program
and as such will hopefully
establish a precedent and
pathway for similar programs.
Individuals interested in either
participating in or aiding the
basketball team should contact
Mr. Brasile in 114 Lancer Hall or
by telephone: 392-9266. Mr.
Brasile would also like to
encourage students and
community members with
interest in participating in or
organizing additional athletic or
recreational programs for the
handicapped to share their
interests and ideas with him. This
and similar programs have the
potential to serve the entire
community as a recreational,
educational, and awareness tool.

T.S. EUot
Max the warrior rides through
the wasteland, in the last of the V-
8's. He is above the ordinary
men, who have become "battered
and smashed" in George Miller's
post-Apocalyptic setting for the
film "The Road Warriors."
One of a senes of films dealing
in an old genre with a futuristic
setting (Blade Runner —
Humphry Bogart in a new New
York, Fire Fox — Clint Eastwood
as a novel James Bond, Tron — a
Fantastic Voyage into a
computer). George Miller has
taken some of the best and a lot of
the worst of "Shane," "Death
Race 2000" and "Masada" and
tossed it into a Nevada desert
somewhere (proclaimed a
barrened post-WW III scenario),
jazzed it up with stunts
reminiscent of "Raiders of the
Lost Ark"; and filmed it all
brilliantlv.
Although titled "The Road
Warriors" in the U.S. it is being
shown under the title of "Mad
Max 11" in other countries
since logically enough "The
Road Warriors" is actually a
sequel to "Mad Max" a movie
that received a brief viewing
from American audiences when
it first appeared in 1980.
Apparently the anarchaic
nihilism and the "kick
of horsepower" vitality were too
much for an American audience
to stomach, so George Miller has
tried to mend his ways and
seduce the audience with a post-
Apocalyptic morality-
improbable, impossible even, but
legends have to start somehwere
— in this case they start with Max
a lot of gimmicks, and sand.
The plot is simple enough for a
legend — Max (Mel Gibson) and
his vanguard of compatriots, a
capricious canine named
eloquently Dog and a dehydrated,
Golium-like 'copter flier named
(again eloquently) Gyro Captain,
attempt to make a deal with an
embattled petroleum plant
(embattled t>ecause oil is black
gold) ... — a body for 5 gallons of
high octane? — (impossible,
improbable even but . . . you
know the rest). The plant,
managed by the good guys
(relatively speaking), is
embattled by a maurading
motor-cycle gang that rules the
wasteland — the Humongas.
Their hideous legions include an
archvillian in a Mohawk
(orange) haircut and warpaint
whose S&M get-up includes
viking plumes and a studded
codpiece. Surprisingly, he does
not stand out at all (except for his
remarkable destructiveness —
Freud might have called it
Thanos personified) in the
vicious S&M iconography which
makes up this movie.
Max gets terribly beaten in
the flick but manages to run the
"gauntlet" (do I make an
allusion? . . .yes) and live
through two crashes, a hook in his
chest and various minor injuries
which the nasty Humonga s have
inflicted.
As stated before, the movie is
filmed briUiantly, plenty of eye
opening, heart stopping
moments, but the plot? How can
one say, a thin purpUsh veneer
over a maelstrom of
destructiveness. The dialogue?
The dialogue brings to mind what
the director of "Cannonball Run"
said to a writer who was fretting
over a line. "Screw the dialogue
. . let's wreck some cars." The
point or moral which Miller
hoped would redeem his "Mad
Max 11"? That comes across in a
poignant scene when the leader of
the good guys attempts to
convince a reluctant Max that
helping him would somehow
sanctify Max's own existence.
"What bums you out? . . . Here,
we're still human beings with
dignity — it's you, you out there
with the garbage, it makes you
nothing." So Max helps them
escape, but does not stay.
Perhaps he knows what the
leader of the Humongas has said
is true, "... Nobody, nobody gets
out of here alive." Perhaps he
doesn't care for a domesticated
dignity. The viewer is not sure
and with sweaty palms and rising
blood pressure must leave the
theatre thinking "and where does
he go now, and what shall he do
now?"

Player Of The Week
Lancers Tie UMBC
By BETSY DUNK
Saturday, in their only game of
the week, the Longwood soccer
team failed to score in overtime,
settling for a 2-2 tie against
Maryland B.C. Their record now
stands at 4-1-1.
Offensively, the lancers did
not let up throughout the first
half. Numerous shots came off
the feet of Brian Allmendinger,
Tim Brennan, Bill Foster and
Gus Leal. Steve Kern made his
presence on the field known by
starting and assisting in many
key plays.
Defensively, Joe Parker, Dan
Bubnis and Scott Thoden did an
excellent job of holding off
Maryland's offense. Goalie Al
Del Monte sent Maryland to the
sidelines scoreless at halftime.
After 45 minutes of play, the
score stood at (M).
The Lancers came up with two
goals in the second half. Brian
Allmendinger netted his fifth
goal of the season with an assist
from Gusl Leal. The second goal
came off the head of Darryl Case
on a beautifully centered comer
kick. Maryland's goalie stopped a
great number of shots from Bill
Foster, Chris Wilkerson and Gus
I^eal.
Defensive standout Darryl
Case turned around many
Maryland attacks, often by using
his head to clear the ball. Dan
Bubnis also showed a lot of hustle
in stopping the Maryland offense.
It looked as though Longwood
had a sure 2-0 victory. Then, in

Friday Sweet Briar proved to
be too strong for the young

of the six singles matches going

in either overtime period, and the
game ended in a 2-2 tie.
Longwood's next game will be

Rugby Wins 15-0
Taking advantage of superior
backs and sound execution, the
Longwood College Rugby
Football Club defeated the New
River Valley R.F.C., 15-0
Saturday. It was the first home
appearance of the year for
Longwood and after winning this
game plus beating V.M.I, last
week, they made it clear that
they are quite improved over last
year.
Both teams seemed rather
confused, offensively, in the first
half. New River constantly
missing field goals and Longwood
ineffective on line-ins. On
defense, however, Longwood was
effective, allowing New River
only one deep venture in to their
end of the field which resulted in
a missed field goal.
Marty Mann broke the ice with
a straight 20 yard field goal,
fairly late in the half, putting
Longwood up, 3-0.
In the second half. Longwood's
backs took over. Everyone of
them deserves an assist for the
first try of the second half as they
advanced and passed off
perfectly to go in from an initial
scrum-down about 40 yards out.
Bill Galloway took the final pass
from Dean Lakey and busted
through a man for the score.
Marty Mann successfully
converted and Longwood was in
command, 9-0.
The second try was started off
by a perfect little spot kick by
Dean Driskill Mann caught
the ball going at a good pace and
bolted through a hole in the New
River defense, then, faking the
last man totally out, went in from
about 40 yards out to seal the win
at IW) after he successfully
converted.
The game ended at 15-0,
proof positive that although they
expect to improve throughout the
season, Longwood is much
farther along in terms of
performing up to their potential
than last season. ML
From Sports Information
Junior forward Tim Brennan

699. Playing against such
Division I teams as Duke and
William and Mary, Longwood
placed 10th, with senior Robin
Andrews being the I^ancers' top
• performer with a total score of
166. Coming in second for the
team was Lanie Gerkin with a
5core of 172.
The Lady Lancers have had an
impressive season so far
finishing about 10 strokes ahead
of last year's record at this time.
Because there are not many
nearby Division II teams to play,
the Lancers schedule is tough
with Div. I teams. Last year, the
Lady Lancers finished third in
the AIAV,' Division II National
Tournament.

Swimming
By SUSAN DREWRY
Synchronized swimming is
going to the 1984 Olympic Games.
If you're not familiar with the
sport, you should get acquainted
with Longwood's synchronized
swimming team — The
Catalinas.
The Catalinas are now
preparing a show for
Oktoberfest. Although syn-
chronized swimming can be a
competitive sport, the Catalinas
concentrate on performing for an
audience. The Oktoberfest show
will consist of six routines
choreographed to music. Other
shows will be at Christmas and in
the spring.
The 1982 Catalinas are: Lynda

Getting to Know
To The Student Body:
when you returned to
Longwood this fall, many
changes had taken place. Rooms
had been painted and
rearranged. New carpet was put
in the banquet and Board of
Visitors rooms. The floors in the
Rotunda and Dining Hall were
waxed.
Many changes also took place
w ithin longwood as well as on the
outside. This year's
administration is almost entirely
new. Some of these people you
may have already met through
various meetings.
Students have expressed a
desire to meet and talk with these
new people. Possible ideas have
included a "study break" with
students and administrators
gathering in the dining hall to
talk over a sundae or chips and
drinks.
Do you have any suggestions on
meeting the "new people?" If so,
drop them by the vice president
for student affairs office. Or just
drop by to chat, discuss problems
or bring up proposals. Even if you
disagree or agree with
something, tell them. Don't just
sit back and complain about the
"uncaring administrators"
They're not going to read minds,
only work with them!
Let them know you're here on
campus and willing to work. Ms.
Mable, the new V.P. for student
affairs, is located on 1st floor of
the Rotunda. Mr. Ogrosky, new
dean of students, is 1st floor
rotunda, also across from the
housing office.
Get to know these people and
the rest who make up Longwood's
administration.

LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1982
NO. 7
IfitsMonday^thismustbeLongwood
"I know when I was a student I
would have given anything for an
opportunity like this, also when
I was a faculty member; now the
opportunity is real or appears to
be real (for the student or faculty
member) and we've got to do
some creative thinking on how we
can achieve it," said Dr.
Greenwood about a possible
exchange of Longwood students
and faculty with the students and
faculty of foreign universities.
An exchange program may be
just one of the results of Dr.
Greenwood's recent trip to
Europe. "The Mission to France"
sponsored by the American
Association of State Colleges and
Universities (AASCU) with
excursions to Holland and Spain
ended last Sunday, October 10.
While in France, Dr.
Greenwood visited four major
universities — The University of
Nice (located on the southeast
coast of France, near the
Mediterranean, "a magnificently
beautiful area"), two universities
in Paris — Paris-Dauphine and
Paris Nanterre and the
University of Lyon located in
Lyon, France.
"France is on a different
system of higher education than
we are," said Dr. Greenwood.
Anyone who wants to go to
college can go — there is a
minimal fee of about the
equivalent of $100.00 in the U.S.
for anyone wanting to attend (not
including room and board). In
high school they study what we
might study as general education
requirements in college. In
college they immediately become
more specific: their first cycle
(cycles are the equivalent of
about two years in college) is like
our last two years with intense
concentrations in their majors.
The second cycle is the
equivalent of a master's degree
and the third cycle is equal to a
doctorate (this cycle tends to be
longer than two years).
However, she pointed out, there
are definite drawbacks. Higher
education is highly centralized
everything is controlled
'oy the mmistry (French gov-
ernment). This type of socialism
insures security (teach-
ing is a guaranteed life-time job)
but there is no incentive
— which is bad. There is no
concept of higher mobility — a lot
of inbreeding results which leads
to stagnation in what is being
taught and what is being learned.
A number of the univerities
were interested in Longwood's
teacher education program
(particularly Nice University)
because it is an area which they
are just beginning to get involved
in. Their other interests are
concentrated in business and
high technology.
"They took us on a tour of the
Renault factory in France, first
thing. They are extremely
interested in the area of high
technology and training in this
field", and with good reason.
"What I saw (at Renault) was a
factory where 85 per cent of the
work was done by robots and 15
per cent was done by humans,
and they still employed 18,000
workers watching the machines,
and pulling maintenance." They
feel America is dropping far
behind in high technology and
believe in the future there will be
only five major auto industries.
Renault is planning on being one
of those. How? By high
technology training in the
and colleges —
literacy and
with terms and
concepts dealing with automated
plants and factories.
A number of the French
universities showed interest in
possible collaborative research
between faculty and students
from the different universities.
The University of Nice offered a
particularly flexible program of
a student or students going there
in September to take a
concentrated language course
and then, depending on the
student(s)' wishes, staying on for
a year or a semester, taking
courses at Nice.
In Spain, at the University of
Salamanca, interest is also being
universities
computer
familiarity
shown in student and faculty
exchanges. Doctor del Greco,
whom Dr. Greenwood met during
her visit to Madrid, Spain,
discussed the possibihty of such a
program. However, the politial
unrest in Spain at this time is a
drawback to such an idea. Dr.
Greenwood said that the country
seems to be anticipating a
military coup sometime prior to
the national election. That point
was brought home to her when
sitting in a restaurant next to the
table of the President of
Indonesia (who was visiting
Spain then), she found herself
amidst a number of bodyguards
bearing machine guns.
Surprisingly Holland may be
even more difficult to arrange an
exchange program with. Unlike
the other European universities,
Holland allows only a certain
number of students to enter
higher education, and this is not
based on money (it's tree) or
merit. Rather, it is based on Lady
Luck. "They (Holland) have a
lottery system that decides who
gets into college," which is a
shame because there are a lot of
advantages to studying in
Holland. They speak English, and
have one of the highest standards
of living of any European country
(minimum wage, $15,000 per
year) and "the country is
phenomenally clean, even riding
through the lowest class areas
you don't see low class houses
with junked cars. There is
unemployment — but those
people are taken care of by the
government. You can sit and do
nothing and still be well-to-do ( by
our standards). Dr. Greenwood
did say that a faculty exchange in
Holland may be possible.
Her visit with Clemens and
Neeltje van de Ven who live in
Holland near Amsterdam proved
to be pleasant and productive.
"They (the van der Vens) have
agreed to serve on the Fine Arts
board at Longwood. 'The van der
Vens, who own and have restored
Snowden, a James River
plantation in Goochland County,
are owners of an extensive
collection of porcelain vases.
Mrs. van der Ven, adept at
restoration, "would have the
skills to help restore the old high
school" (which is under
consideration as a possible
location for the fine arts center)"
said Dr. Greenwood. While with
the van der Vens Dr. Greenwood
toured the Palace Loo (William
and Mary's Palace). "I was able
to see, firsthand, the outcome of
his restoration — beautiful."
Yes, Dr. Greenwood did get a
chance to visit the Louvre during
her trip but didn't seem to enjoy
the "cram-packed conditions."
Apparently the day she visited
was the day the museum allows
free passes (they generally
charge a fee). The only other
incident which bothered her was
a very large dachshund ("they
take their dogs with them
everywhere!") that got air sick
on one of her flights, " the
stewardesses took care
of it though . . . they . seemed
experienced in such matters."
In January the van der Vens,
including two of Mr. van der
Ven's brothers, hope to visit the
college. The younger oroiner
Steven would like to give a
presentation for students of his
political journalism. Next August
the President and Vice President
of the Paris-Nanterre University
will be here for the opening of
school. During the last two weeks
of April or the following fall the
other Presidents of the French
and Spanish universities may
also visit Longwood.
From Yale To Longwood
Workers finish demolishing remains of condemned house opposite the high rise dorms.
By LIZ D'SURNEY
"I liked the new administration
team, especially the president
who was a big attraction... the
size of the college, and its
traditions... also, the enthusiasm
of the people I met and that of the
student body." These are a few of
tne reasons Dr. Haltzel,
Longwood's new Chief Academic
Officer decided to come to
Longwood.
Dr. Haltzel's office is
located in the Vice Presidents
office on 1st flooi West Ruffner. It
is decorated simply. A few chairs
and a loveseat are arranged close
together forming a conversation
,area. A German coca-cola label,
hanging on the wall across from
his desk is one of the few German
mementos from his Berlin
days. He graduated with a B.A.
from Yale, and A.M. in Soviet
Studies from Harvard, and a
Ph.D. in history from Harvard.
He has studied abroad in Berlin,

NEWS BRIEFS
By an overwhelming vote of the
Polish Parliament, Sejm, the
Polish Independent Union
Federation, Solidarity, has been-
banned, marking the end of the
most popular group effort of
communist subjects in recent
years. Having established new,
highly restrictive trade unions
strictly at the individual factory
level with virtually no right to
strike, the government claims to
have put behind them the
"turmoil," that was created by
Solidarity's constant clashes with
the nation's leaders. The new law
not only abolishes Solidarity but
all Polish labor unions presently
operating as well.
Tops on this week's list of
stupid things to do is taking
Tylenol. One of the most popular
painkillers in the country, this
drug is taboo due to the deaths of
seven people in the Chicago area
from taking cyanide laced
capsules of the product.
Authorities have few clues as to
the identity or motives of the
poisoner and their chances of
catching this person are quite
slim due to the detachment from
the actual deaths that the
murderer has.
In Sweden's Hors Bay, a
submarine has been located that
was not invited by the Swedes
themselves. Naturally, the
Swedes would be quite happy if
the owner of the sub would come
up and introduce himself and
have a little chat about
trespassing, spying and
generally just what he is doing
down there. Expectations are
that the crew speaks Russian
fluently, and they just wanted to
take a few pictures of the highly
developed Swedish naval base
nearby and its surroundings.
In October of 1981, a Russian
submarine was so cooperative as
to run aground in the vicinity of a
naval base at Karlokrone,
Sweden, and the Swedes enjoyed
talking with him so much that
they have now placed submarine
nets in both openings of the bay
and have sent down calling cards
in the form of 330 pound depth
charges whenever they have
found out where the sub is. This
sub is a bit shyer than the last
one, though, and has not come up
yet and was once so rude as to try
and leave by breaking through
the nets but did not succeed. But
the Swedes have been patient and
are sure that the sub will have to
come up sometime and presently
are merely sitting and waiting.
Ronny had a heckler a couple of
weeks ago. It seems that a mean
man named Gary Richard Arnold
who cannot even get money from
his own Republican Party, has
been having difficulty getting
anyone to listen to his complaints
about the Trilateral Commission
and Reagan himself so he just
stood up at a Republican
campaign briefing and cut loose
when the President was at the
podium.
A sampling of the gory verse:
"Mr. President, you have given
us the largest tax increase in the
U. S. history ... The Soviets get
the wheat and the Americans get
the shaft . . . You have a small
elite Reich — the Council on
Foreign Relations and the
Trilateral Commission — that
totally runs your organization
and your White House." Reagan
attempted to silence Arnold by
first calling him a liar and then
cracking a joke, "I thought this
was for Republican candidates."
Finally Mr. Reagan simply
yelled, "Shut up!" and blew the
opposition away with a fine little
speech on China and Taiwan.
Immediately afterwards,
Reagan was congenial again
while Arnold was not.
Series Continues
The Department of Sociology
and Anthropology will present
the second program in the 1982-83
Anthropology Film Series on
Wednesday, Oct. 20, at 7:30 p.m.
in Bedford Auditorium.
The program will consist of two
films entitled The Holy Ghost
People and Floating in the Air.
The Holy Ghost People is a
record of a white Pentecostal
religious group in Southern -
Appalachia whose members
handle poisonous snakes, drink
strychnine and speak in tongues.
They believe themselves to
be following; the literal
interpretation of the Biblical
passage: "In my name they shall
speak in new tongues. They shall
take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing it shall not
hurt them." The film was made
at a four-hour meeting
during which the congregation is
exhorted by an evangelist. As the
meeting proceeds, some of the -
congregation begin to pray,
dance, and speak in tongues.
Several members collapse in
trance-like states. At the height
of the meeting, boxes of
rattlesnakes and copperheads
are brought in, and the people
pick them up, throw them to one
another, and sing.
Floating in the Air is a film
focusing on the Hindu Festival of
Thaipusam in which Hindu holy
men enter entranced states and
the believers carry large -
decorative costumes on their
heads and backs. The costumes,
which weigh about 100 pounds,
are attached to their bodies with
metal pins and wires. They carry
these heavy costumes on sort of a
secret trip, almost a short
pilgrimage. The trance that these
holy men put themselves into
creates an ecstasy which
overcomes the physical pain and
burden of the trip.
Dr. James W. Jordan,
Associate Professor of
Anthropology, will introduce the
films before the presentation.
Cognitive Crystals?
By MIMI A. DREHER
Patrick Barber's face lit up
with enthusiasm as he presented
a display of crystal creations.
These pretty crystals have more
useful qualities than just as
ornaments, a fact to which Dr.
Barber quickly attests.
Dr. Barber, an associate
professor in the Department of
Natural Sciences, is also very
involved in crystalography, the
study of the solid state structure
of materials (such as the
arrangement of molecules in a
crystal).
Dr. Barber was chosen to work
for a government research lab
for ten weeks this summer. Spon-
sored by the American Society
for Engineering Education, this
project pulled faculty from all
over the country to participate in
research. Dr. Barber's job was to
work on projects previously
studied in the electronic-optical
branch at NASA. "New
instrumentation for space
appreciation" was the idea
behind these projects. Replacing
magnetic fields with ferro-
electric fields was one of the
goals of the program before Dr.
Barber began his work.
A pure syllican crystal wafer
coated with a chemical called
bismuth titanale, will hope-
fully act as a memory in any
Where I Turn
For Help
For those of you who are
considering jumping off of the
roof of Frazer, snorting Anacin,
or O.D.-ing on the Dining Hall
food, Longwood does provide
counseling services.
"We deal with all kinds of
problems," said Mrs. Barlow, the
newest addition to the counseling
services. "Anything from
relationships, to drugs, to
suicides, even hangnails."
Mrs. Barlow said, "Sometimes
students will come in and tell
me a different problem just to
feel me out but I don't think they
would bother to come if they
didn't want help. Students believe
that you have to be mentally ill to
come to the counseling service or
that they're the only one with
problems. However, that's not
true; almost everyone has a
problem soemtime or another
and they're normal."
Office hours are from eight to
five but they are not rigid
according to Mrs. Barlow. "Most
of the people who come to us are
women. They make
appointments and they usually
come back more than once."
When asked how she got the
information storing appliance
such as a calculator, computer,
tape recorder, etc. For example,
computer programs held in
memory with magnetic fields can
be completely diminished due to
a power shortage. But, if the
computer holds the memory with
crystallization (ferroelectric), as
Dr. Barber foresees, the memory
is insured to exist regardless of
possible power failures.
Dr. Barber's responsibility was
to analyze the material of the
syllican crystal wafer so that the
making of one may be duplicated.
Through several processes. Dr.
Barber analyzed and found the
composition of the wafer. First,
job Mrs. Barlow said, "I met Dr.
Cox in Boston and I wasn't really
planning to work but later on I
was interviewed for an area
coordinator job, then hired with
the understanding of working
with the counseling services."
Mrs. Barlow has had quite a lot
of experience dealing with people
and their problems. She has
worked in residence halls, as a
psychologist in the Lynchburg
Training School, and she also did
an internship in counseling at
U.Va. She will finish her
doctorate in counseling at U. Va.
in the spring.
The counseling service also
promotes different programs like
how to study, deciding on majors,
and career development. They
are also working on others which
will be done next year.
The counseling services are
located on the first level of
French dormitory. The area is
well lit and there is a lounge, an
office, a conference room, and
the offices of the counselors. The
atmosphere is really casual but it
demonstrates the totally
confidential policy that is
stressed.

he used analytical chemistry, x-
raying fluorescents to discover
their chemical composition.
Then, by annealing (applying
heat ) to the wafer, he found that
the components did not remain
constant. Lastly, he chipped off
atoms (auger analysis) and then
used activation analysis in which
the wafer piece is placed in the
care of a nuclear reactor.
Neutrons bombard the wafer and
activate it so that the composition
is countable. With these analyses.
Dr. Barber was able to identify
(mostly I the composition of a
syllican crystal wafer.
"These studies are still being
researched, but Dr. Barber is
hopeful that the project will be
continued and perfected until the
findings "can be used in the next

Editor's Turn
OktoherfesVs Perils
First and foremost, let me say I had no intention of writing
on Oktoberfest. It seemed wise somehow to disregard the entire
shenanigans as mere nuances of over-energetic (and slightly
neurotic) college students having their day in the sun. As fate would
have it, however, a voice spoke to me last night, spoke to me as I lay
curled in quilts, sheltered and warm.
"Wake, you sorry excuse for an editor, wake, and hear what I
have to say! !" It's a dream, I thought to myself, only a dream, and I
snuggled deeper into the bowel of my quilt. "Wake, I say, you have a
mission, a duty to perform and can shirk it no longer." I felt a slap on
my back — something was pulling the quilt from my body. Looking up,
I saw a small iridescent woman dressed in a long flowing white robe.
"Who are you?" I asked. "I am the Ghost of Oktoberfest past." "The
what?"
"The Ghost of Oktoberfest past . . . Come, we only have one night
and you have many things to see." She held out a patch of robe for me
to hold onto. Back through time we traveled; the eighties were gone in
a blink, then the seventies, the sixties, fifties, and forties.
We ended in a small room, young women of about eighteen or
nineteen were working on a pester. "Where are we?" I asked. "We are
in one of Longwood's dormitories — the girls are working on posters
for Oktoberfest. See that girl over there with the paint bnish?" "Yes, I
see her." "She will fail her German test tomorrow because she has
skipped so many classes." "Really? But she looks so happy." "Oh,
she is happy, she hasn't a care in the world, she's completely forgotten
about her German test because her mind is filled with skits, posters,
ribbons, and all the fun things she is working on now." "But isn't that
what Oktoberfest is for? — to forget one's worries and just have a little
fun?"
The spirit smiled and turned her head.
"Come, it is time to go back. Two other Spirits will visit you and
answer any questions you may have." "But what of the girl? — Will
the spirits tell me about her? What will these spirits look like? How
can they possibly visit in one night?" She did not answer.
I was beginning to doze when I heard the second spirit. A light
jingle pervading my consciousness. "A light jingle?" I thought. I
peered out from under the quilt to see whatever it was that was
causing a light jingle. A short clown with an idotic red nose and green
tights stood before me. "Hi." the klown said with a smile that matched
his nose. "I'm the ghost of Oktoberfest present. Here, grab my hand
and we'll take a flight to a fanciful land." "Where are we going?" He
wiggled his foot and gave a jingle. "We're off to have fun and paint and
gigglei' We arrived at Lancer Hall where everything jingled like the
klown's foot. "What's going on here?" "The klowns are preparing for
a half hour romp. They will entice the crowds with silliness and
pomp." "Oh," I said.
"Let's go and watch the class color skits. They will throw you into
laughter fits " "No, that's all right," I said. "There's one more spirit
who has to see me tonight and I don't think I'll have time for all this
fun." "Time is for laughter and light-hearted mirth — time is for
happiness from the moment of birth." "Fine," I said, "but I need to
get some sleep." "Oh, no," said the klown with the idiotic nose and
smile to match, but I insisted and he carried me back.
The third spirit arrived seconds after I had crawled into bed. It (for
there was no tell-tale sign of gender) had no face and was wearing a
black leather teddy with spiked studs and fish net hose. It carried a
whip and a chain. "I am the ghost of Oktoberfest future, hold onto my
chain." I didn't argue.
It laughed wickedly as we floated to the future. "So you think you
can play all your life, eh?, think nobody has a care, eh?" It cracked
the whip. "Well, listen to me — nothing, I say nothing, in life is gotten
for free. Look there!"
We stood at a barren back alley window — an old woman with
strands of gray hair worked by a stove dishing out some type of stew to
three starch-faced children. "You see that hag . . . that was once the
girl who painted so merrily." I covered my face. "Come, there is
more."
We arrived at an old apartment. A man was sitting in a chair
talking to a young boy. "Grandpa," the child said, "What did you do
great when you were young?" The man looked down, not sure of a
response; suddenly his face brightened — and he waved an arthritic
forefinger, "There was one thing I remember; something I did back in
my college days ... I was once a klown." The young boy walked away
disappointed.
"Who is that man, whose only accomplishment is being a klown?"
The spirit laughed hideously. "That man is you in another fifty years."
I shuddered. "C»i-no-no, I will mend my ways, just get me back in
time. Give me a chance. I'll never have Uie least sympathy for
Oktoberfest or Geist or any of those things. You've showed me my

Your Turn
To the Editor:
There seems.to be a great deal
of uncertainty on the part of the
student body concerning the
scheduling of events for
Oktoberfest 1982. In that there is
some controversy, Geist would
like to clear up the
misconceptions.
It was on the basis of student
polls and the survey which we ran
in the Dining Hall last spring that
Geist decided to reschedule the
"Skits" as "One Acts" for
Thursday night. The
administration was supportive of
this decision; however, they did
not initiate it.
Geist felt that this decision
would be a favorable one for the
majority of Longwood's students
on the basis of the opinions which
we received. Furthermore, the
inclusion of a play by the drama
department and a Saturday Night
Alive in place of the skits were
decisions made to enhance the
appeal of Oktoberfest for visitors
and students as well.
Geist is not trying to do away
with tradition. It is merely our
goal to make Oktoberfest a more
enjoyable weekend for everyone.
If there are any questions at all
about other events, please feel
free to contact anyone in Geist.
And thanks to all of you who are
working for the one quality of
Oktoberfest that can never be
changed — the spirit.
In the Longwood Spirit,

published a good deal of writing,
among this, numerous articles.
He taught during his last year of
school at Harvard and then
taught several years at Hamilton
College in upstate New York. He
was also the Deputy Director of
the Aspen Institute in West
Berlin, Germany.
How did Dr. Haltzel find out
about Longwood? What made
him leave his home in the
suburbs of Albany, N.Y. "I knew
someone in the administration of
another college who told me
about Longwood," he said. He is
also fairly familiar with Virginia
since he has family from here, so
Longwood was not quite so brand
new to him. Speaking in
reference to Longwood, he
comments, "It has great more
importance now than ever be-
fore." He continues speaking
with confidence and clarity.
"Every place should attempt to
improve itself constantly," which
is something Dr. Haltzel wants to
take part in.
Dr. Haltzel has quite a few
plans in mind to improve the
quality of the college. He said,
"I'd like to maintain quahty in
the curriculum of the insti-
tutional programs. I'd like to see
an increase in class offerings in
areas we don't have. I'd like to
get the best teachers available
and attract bright students in the
future."

Diploma Covers —
In talking with Mrs. Bollinger,
arrangements have been made to
purchase protective covers for
the diplomas. To have this done,
each Senior would be charged an
additional $4.00. We feel that
these covers are well worth the
cost.

No
"I'm an advocate for learning at
least one foreign language. I
beUeve this will help people in
any career they choose to do... in
every field. Students should have
the capability of expressing
themselves in an articulate
manner in English and one
foreign language as part of a well
rounded education."
"Externally
there are not many built-in
opportunities to meet students. I
would like to remedy this
situation by finding informal
ways to meet students," he said.
He eats in the dining hall from
time to time to interact with the
students. He also would like to
teach next year if his schedule
allows it.
Dr. Haltzel is determined to do
all he can to meet as many
students as possible. "I'd like to
find a central location, perhaps
the Rotunda, where coffee and
doughnuts could be served and
offer a chance for students and
the administration to get to know
each other. I don't have the
chance to meet students as much
as I'd like. I'd be willing to clear
my calendar periodically, even if
it's only for 10-15 minutes at a
time," he said.
Open hours for students to talk
with Dr. Haltzel are from 4:00-
5:00 every Thursday in his office.
If there are a few people still
waiting to see him at 5:00, he is
willing to stay later. Anything

Session '83
Planning for the Summer
Session of 1983 is already
underway. The staff of the Office
of Continuing Studies would like
you, the students, to help us
develop a summer program
which will meet your needs.
During the Sununer of 1982,
Longwood offered 168 classes
during two 5-week sessions. We
want to try next year to meet as
many needs as possible during
the summer session.
One suggestion made by
several students is to increase the
number of courses to be offered
during the evenings in order to
accomjnodate the students who
hold summer jobs yet desire to
attend school. Suggestions from
students help us to initiate new
programs. To help us plan course
offerings for the summer of 1983,
chp the coupon below, indicate
the course(s), and return the
coupon to the Office of Continuing
Studies, Dr. Robert H. Lehman,
Dean, (Wynne Building) prior to
November 1. REMEMBER — in

will listen to. So far. Dr. Haltzel
says the response to this open
house has been fair, but he would
like to see more students take
advantage of it. In the near
future, he is planning to hold a
slide-lecture presentation from
his trips abroad to anyone
interested.
Aside from his job. Dr. Haltzel
has other interests and hobbies.
He enjoys all sports, especially
those outdoors, such as hiking
and canoeing. He is active in a
variety of sports and in physical
fitness. He also plans on
becoming more involved in
intercollegiate athletics.
A main intention stated by Dr.
Haltzel was, "I want students to
have four years of education
v/hete they are challenged and
asked to think. I want to see them
participate in the life of their
college conrununity and have
their loyalty to Longwood
continue throughout their hves."

THE ROTUNDA
October 19, 1982
A Conversation With William Styron
By DAVID S.AREFX)RD
It is the clear, brilliant
morning of Wednesday, October
6th around 10:30 and I am sitting
in a black rod iron chair on 6
small green piece of lawn behind
the office of Josiah Bunting,
President of Hampden-Sydney
College. With me are Dr. Bill
Frank and Rotunda editor Joe
Johnson. Dr. Bunting is playing
music in his office as he goes
about his daily activities, and the
notes drift out the back door in
the form of a violin and piano
which mesh with the song of birds
in the circling trees and with the
voice of Dr. Bunting's guest who
sits opposite me. I am facing the
rising sun and also novelist
William Styron.
The night before, Styron had
given a reading from his most
recent novel, the 1979 best seller
Sophie's Choice which was
awarded the 1980 American Book
Award for Best American
Fiction.
Styron 's stalwart position in
the literary world began when he
was twenty-six, with his first
novel. Lie Down in Darkness
which was awarded the Prix De
Rome of the American Academy
of Arts and Letters. In 1953, his
novella. The Long March was
published and in 1960, his third
novel. Set This House On Fire.
Then in 1967, the controversial
story of a historical Rebel Slave,
The Confessions of Nat Turner
was published and awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for that year.
Sophie's Choice is the most
recent novel since 1967.
After Confessions of Nat
Turner, Styron had begun work
on a new novel. The Way Of The
Warrior, which was to concern a
United States Marine Colonel
serving during the Korean War.
But in 1974, Styron had a dream
about a woman he once knew in
New York that compelled him to
begin work on Sophie's Choice,
Styron is once again working The
Way Of The Warrior which
should be expected to be
published one to two years from
now.
A volume will appear in
November entitled This Quiet
Dust And Other Essays and will
contain thirty pieces on the south,
war and victims which Styron
wrote while and between writing
his novels.
Styron has changed a bit from
the Jacket Photo on his recent
novel. He is fifty-seven years old
and his hair is almost completely
white and he is slightly
overweight. He wears a white
shirt unbuttoned at the neck and
is relaxed, often resting an arm
up on his head.
In his work, Styron is different
from many of his
contemporaries. John Updike
was recently pictured on the
October 18th issue of Time
magazine. Updike is fifty years
old and this month his 26th
volume will appear.
Numerically, Styron is belittled
in the light of such a prolific
writer as Updike. Styron his
written the five novels mentioned
and also one play. Updike has
written more novels, but he has
also written poetry and short
stories. Styron is strictly a
novelist and his lengthy, complex
novels require years in writing.
On the issue of short fiction,
Styron, who wrote some short
stories in his college days, says
he is not active in writing short
stories because he is more
comfortable with the form of the
novel. His ideas are more
suitable for longer works and the
short storv and himself are not
compatible. Another con-
sideration for Styron is that
there is, with few exceptions,
no market place for such work. A
short story by Styron was
published in Enquire in the late
seventies, but he says the writing
of it was a special instance when
he was seized by the subject
matter of an old black man,
during his writing of Sophie's
Choice. Given the limitations of
time and his continuing interest
in the novel, he sees little
likelihood in getting involved in
short story writing. The novel is
definitely what suits him.
On the writing and production
of his only play, In The Clap
Shack, which involves a scared
young recruit in the V.D. ward of
a U.S. Naval Hospital, Styron
comments that he ventured into
this bit of play writing for " fun."
Playwriting is not something
frivolous but something he does
enjoy. He is presently preparing
a play in collaboration with a
friend about a murder in 1929 and
hopes to have it produced in the
near future.
This past summer on
"signature", an interview
program on CBS Cable, Styron
said that writing is "like
coughing up blood", when I asked
him to elaborate, Styron made
the remarkable statement that he
really does not enjoy writing, for
it is enormously hard and tedious
work, but to Styron it is the only
thing he was meant to do.
In a review of Sophie's Choice
for The New York Times Book
Review, the late John Gardner
wrote, "those who wish so can
easily prove him anti-black, anti-
white, anti-southern, anti-
yankee, anti-polish, anti-semitic,
anti-christian, anti-German, anti-
American, Anti-Irish — the list
could go on and on. No bigotry
escapes him."
Styron responds that he does
not think of himself as a bigot.
Many novels contain what could
be called "Racial Slurs," but
they are not intended as serious.
He comments that any American
writer with any scope couldn't
help but to touch on these
subjects, since each writer is in
the center of this "melting pot"
called America.
As mentioned before, Sophie's
Choice won the American Book
Awarded for 1980, but Styron
turned this award down. Styron
had joined a group of writers
twycotting the new awards that
replaced the National Book
Awards and included a televised
ceremony on William F.
Buckley's "Firing Line." Styron
says he did not exactly reject the
process but he was against the
"Academy Awards" kind of
ceremony and aspect. He says it
was the first time he turned down
1,000 dollars, but of course, he
could not accept the money under
those conditions.
Styron 's readers and movie
enthusiasts are awaiting .-.
the release of the movie version
of Sophie's Choice, which stars
the words of Christ mentioned
earlier in the novel,". ..I am the
root and offbring of David, and
the bright and morning star."
Sophie ends with "this was not
judgement day — only morning.
Morning: excellent and fair. The
ending of STHOF also is set in the
morning. A group of children
playing is also found at the
ending of these two novels.
Styron says that the sun was "A
Symbol Of Ressurection" in Nat
Turner and was not Biblical in
Sophie, but was to a virtually
Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and j nonreligious Stingo, the narrator.
Peter McNidiol. It will premiere
>
WILLUM STYRON
Dec. 5 in New York.
Styron has read the script and
enjoyed it and is confident of the
ability of the cast. An aspect he
looks forward to in having his
work adapted for fihn is the
increase of his audience.
Styron thought that The French
Lieutenant's Woman was a fine
a symbol of hope. The children,
as the sun, are a symbol of
renewal and continuity.
The Biblical tradition was
important to Nat Turner and also
to Styron 's overall development
as a writer. After the reading,
Styron said that if he must
pinpoint, he was most influenced
by "All the People who wrote the
Bible," as are many writers with
a protestant background. He also
mentioned the influence of
Elizabethan poets such as
Shakespeare and modem writers
such as Faulkner.
Styron, who lives in Roxbury,
Conn, with his wife and four
children, is truly in his element in
the South, being raised in
Newport News. He is still
considered a "Southern Writer",
since all of his novels concern the
South in some way.
In a commencement address
given at H-SC on May 23rd, 1980,
Styron said about his search for a
college, "...my father and I
traveled up here to Hampden-
Sydney...! was so totally beguiled
by this serene and lovely campus
(it remains so, I'm happy to say,
to this very day) and by the
splendid easy-goingness of the
place, and by so much else in the
human sense that was
wonderfully attractive, that I
said to myself: this is where I
want to be." He was turned down
at H-S but went on to Davidson
and then to Duke University. In
1980, Styron was given an
honorary degree from H-S, and
after the reading Bunting
presented Styron with a H-SC
Maroon pullover sweat jacket.
As we drive away, I am
reminded of Stingo's words in -
Sophie's Choice as he spies out
his boarding house window at a
party at the house of a rich
couple and lets his imagination
fly - "There was Wallace
Stevens! And Robert Lowell!
That mustached gentleman
looking rather furtively from the
door, could that really be
Faulkner? He was rumored to be
in New York... the shorti.sh man
with the wry ruddy sardonic face
could only be John Cheever." I
glance out the window at the man
who gives a slight wave goodbye.
He could be a H-S alumnus
walking with Dr. Bunting, but a
novelist was rumored to be in
Hampden-Sydney. That shortish,
shy reserved man with a gentle
face full of Southern charm.
Could that really be William
Styron?

"Of course, we're really here to

narrow a space in which to work.
Sophie is quite an undertaking as
a character and I would suppose
will be a huge highlight in Meryl
Streep's career.
Styron says that he doesn't
have one favorite novel out of the
five he has written, but he likes to
think of all his work as a
continuous writing. He doesn't
have a particular favorite but he
does have favorite passages.
Styron read some early
passages from Sophie's Choice
the night before in the
Parents and Friends Lounge at
Hampden-Sydney College
(Styron says he would have read
from The Way Of The Warrier, if
he had known of the advance
publicity saying that he was).
Styron gave most of the reading
with the help of a large flashhght
after the podium light
mysteriously went out.
"A Light in the Darkness" may
be a way to describe the endings
In addition to supervising the
Rotunda and New Smoker, her
job entails making change and
selling stamps. "...Mostly we get
information calls, of course," she
adds as she lays down her
Harlequin Romance beside an
overflowing in-basket. "If things
get slow around here I sometimes
turn on the TV. It really gets
boring when the young ladies and
boys are gone on a break — it's
worse than being in prison!"
Her wooden desk sits on a
Long wood Blue carpet, right
beside a large Greyhound Bus
schedule. An artificial flower
arrangement occupies the old
fireplace while an antique
wooden clock rests on the mantle.
Across from this hangs a huge,
tarnished plaque which
constituted the Role of Honor
back when Longwood was State
Teachers College.
"We tell the people a little
about the college, the number of
of at least three Styron novels, students, etc., when they come to
which end with scenes set in the
morning and with images of the
sun. Nat Turner ends with, "Oh
How Bright And Fair The
Morning Star" which comes from
visit. I'll sometimes get up and
show them around the Rotunda,
but I can't leave the phone!" she
stresses as she glances at her
bright red phone. "We must get
1000 calls a night when there's a
chance that school will be closed
because of snow," says Ranson.
"Sometimes, of course, we call
campus police when students
come in here sick... one girl had a
seizure right here in the office
and we had to call the nurse up
from the infirmary to help her."
On thinking back, Mrs. Ranson
recalls another event that has
stuck in her mind over the years:
"Some Hampden-Sydney boys
went streaking right through the
Rotunda! I'll never forget that —
it scared me, of course. I was
sittin' here at the desk, and when
I looked out the door there they
were, just as naked as they came
into the world. The next day I was
back at my desk when I saw a
pair of naked legs standing in
front of me. I looked up and there
was Dr. Willett with his tennis
racquet in his hand. He asked me
how was everything going, and I
told him things were better than
they were last night!"
Mrs. Ranson shares her
responsibilities with two other
women, Ms. Clark and Ms.
Baldwin. Between the three of
them, they keep the Infonnation
Office running from 8:00 a.m.
until 12:00 a.m. "We just do our
best to steer students in the right
direction with information... don't
hesitate to ask — if we don't
know, we just don't know."

Is this for real? Strike two.
The next song is from, the
movie "Class of '84." It's called I
Am the Future. If there's
anything with any value on this
album (besides the clever cover
concept) this is it. It's about the
kiddies of '84 saying "give me a
chance."
Nice try, Alice. Foul ball.
Now before I tell you about this
next song, I just want to say that
I'm not suffering from pressure,
severe trauma, insanity, or
D.T.'s.
All right, here it is. It's called
No Baloney Homo Sapiens. And
to top it off, it's dedicated to Steve
and E.T.
It tells all of the little green and
blues out there in outer space that
we're black and white, and all
right, and come on down, we
won't eat you.
Time out. Alice just got hit by
the pitch. (During the time out, I
think he wrote side two.)
Side two is just about as bad.
The first cut is called Adaptable
(Anything for You). (All of his
songs have sub-titleiS. )
In this song. Big Al is "your
Sony, your Panasonic, heavy
metal, philharmonic, I get ear
aches, I turn my volume down a
notch, or two."
Note: So far, Alice hasn't had
to sing. He just does a "heavy
metal rap."
I Like Girls is next. (I wonder if
his girl friend's name is Allen? )
Anyway, it's a song about fast
cars, blondes, luggage, and sex.
Oh, yeah, his guitarist just
discovered a second note!
Remarkably Insincere is about
the same stuff.
Now it's time for Alice to bring
division twice. Cindy finished in
the top two of the Women's
Heavyweight Class. Now she's a
national champion, and as a
member of the U.S. team, she'll
go on to Taiwan in November to
represent the United States in the
World Karate Trials. When the
judges told her she'd made it,
was was surprised, "I Am?!"
After the team had been
chosen, they had to fill out forms
for new Gi's, (univorms). "I
couldn't even write my name.
That's how bad I was shaking."
She seemed excited about having
a new tailored U.S. Gi, but she
said she would miss her old worn
one that was covered with award
badges. "It's just good luck. I like
wearing it."
Cindy will meet the rest of the
team in New York and they'll fly
to Taiwan November 19. Because
of conflicting plane schedules,
Cindy will have to spend the night
in N.Y. Airport. She didn't seem
the slightest bit worried about the
possible dangers of a small-town
college girl along in a place like
New York. After she finds where
the plane for Taiwan is boarding
she says, "I'm gonna sleep in
front of that runway. There's no
way they're gonna leave me in
New York!"
The plane tickets will cost each
member $800 and hotel rooms
and meals for the lO^ay stay will
cost $600. Farmville merchants

'Halloween', you think it's all
over, and you're gazing into

you start to turn, then you're

It's about dear Alice out in the
middle of a highway, ane he
doesn't see the truck "60 times
my size" coming at him. (It's not
like trucks are loud or anything! )
All of a sudden he feels a tug at
his leg, and his dead pet saves his
life.

VCU won all six of their games

Any basketball fan who has
seen a college team overcome the
opposition by stalling instead of
playing real basketball would
know exactly what to say after
witnessing the style of play that
both Hampden-Sydney and VCU the Championship game.
RFCs used to beat Longwood 3-0
each time. "BOORING!!" Both
teams heavily rehed on kicking in
order to keep Longwood's scrum
and upper backs at bay, creating
many line-ins and kick exchanges
and not very much sound rugby.
The first game Wednesday
afternoon against Hampden-
Sydney was drastically altered in
character by a drenching rain
that reduced the ball-handling
and maneuverability
significantly. Although camped
on Hampden-Sydney's end of the
field for nearly the entire game,
Longwood never scored, missing
three field goals and having
many drives stall right at the
goal line. Hampden-Sydney not
only got within range twice but
one first half field goal on a
penalty-kick was all they needed
to beat a l^ongwood team that
just couldn't smell blood on the
other end. The 3-0 victory gave
Hampden-Sydney only its second
victory ever over Longwood.
They will meet again on
November 17 at H.S.
For the Saturday game against
VCU the weather was much less
of a factor but exhorbitant
kicking by the opposition still
was. Another factor against
I^^ngwood was a rash at penalties
versus relatively few against
VCU. The game was fairly even
although lx)ngwood was the clear
aggressor until they were close to
a score, whereupon VCU would

goal in the first half was again all
the opposition would need for a 3-

Student Concerns Discussed
at Press Conference
ByLED'SURNEY
President Janet Greenwood
responded to a number of
questions concerning various
topics raised by students in her
press conference held Tuesday in
the Virginia Room. For the most
part, many of the issues raised
dealt with the benefit and well-
being of the students.
One of the eight questions
raised was where the funds come
from for the Summit, a
publication (newsletter) geared
toward blacks. Publication cost is
$56.30 and comes from the budget
of Vice-President for Student
Affairs. Dr. Greenwood stressed
the importance of such a
publication stating, "This is one
way in which colleges and
universities have tried to develop
a sense of responsiveness among
minority students." She
concluded by saying, "Such types
of action have proven to be
lucrative. A specific number of
minority students are to be
retained and we must retain
them and make sure they are
placed if we are to keep federal
money and federal money means
financial aid."
The question of funds to
purchase lamps for the study
rooms in dorms was raised.
However, there are no specific
funds for this. This is something
which may need to be decided
between each dorm. Dr.
Greenwood did say, "We need to
work on, number one, the
identification of specific areas:
where lamps are to be placed,
and number two, how to secure
them."
In conjunction with funds for
the lamps, funds for stolen
phones is another unsolved
problem. Phones have been
stolen from the library and other
public areas, and this is yet
another case of being "unsure"
where the funds to replace them
will come from.
Relocation of freshmen and
whether or not upperclassmen
will have a voice in this situation
is another concern of students. It
was mentioned that there will be
approximately 200 room
vacancies at the end of the
semester due to drop-outs,
graduation, and transfers. Dr.
Greenwood said, "Choices will be
determined by which spaces are
available. Some upperclassmen
will get freshman roommates.
Options have been reviewed but
decisions have not been made."
Sixty-five students still remain in
triples. Thirty to forty transfers
are expected at the end of the
semester.
A request for clarification of
the new $100 damage fee
requirement was brought up. Dr.
Greenwood said a number of
people agreed upon the
enforcement of this new rule.
"Parents, administration, and
faculty, as well as some students,
thought that those who do the
damage should be the ones who
pay for it," she said. The $100 will
be returned to students at the end
of their four years here provided
they have not done any damage.
"Hopefully this will limit the
amount of damage done. I would
hate to estimate the amount
added to the housing fee over the
past years to compensate for
damage done," she said.
Clarification was also
requested on the hall council fee
usage. Dr. Greenwood stated that
the decision to collect this money
was made by the residence life
committee and was not
mandatory. She said, "The
money is to be used on hall
activities for the entire year and
hall councils and hall residents
would decide what those
activities would be."
In reply as to why the fast food
equipment for the dining hall was
not here, it was said that it has
been ordered and is on the way.
A request for a brief summary
The Rape Of The Locked
By JOHNEL BROWN
Thursday, October 21
Two o'clock a.m. (or therea-
bouts) ... A small group of hood-
lums entered Lankford. A door
unlocked — perhaps propped ajar
with a bent Budweiser can, or a
window cracked. No one knows.
Two fifteen a.m. . . . Quietly
they stalk the first floor, looking
for damage to be done. Posters to
be slashed. Glasses to be broken.
Walls to be marred.
Two twenty a.m. ... The door
to the student mailbox room is
open. They've spotted their
target. The pewter-colored
mailboxes gleam in the dim
light. The engraved box numbers
shine white.
Eight ten a.m. . . . Allen
Franklin enters the mail room in
Lankford. He yawns and finishes
the cold coffee from Hardee's.
He's ready for another day of
mail sorting, box stuffing and
stamp selling. He walks to the
students' box area. Thirteen
doors have been ripped from
their hinges.
Yes, they've hit Longwood and
its checkbook again. Vandalism
is the in thing. Or so it seems.
First, four unabridged
dictionaries were stolen from
Grainger. Then phones were
taken from various public areas
on campus. Now, the vandals
have graduated to destroying
mailboxes.
The mailbox caper will cost the
students over $400. Lt. Tom Webb
of Campus Police said that
they are unsure of many of the
details. They do know that it
happened after 1:30 a.m. on
Thursday. "Apparently they Just
came in and jerked the doors
open. It looks like they used a
screwdriver and popped them
open." No one is even sure of
why they chose the mailboxes. "I
don't know, unless they were
looking for money," said Lt.
Webb. They threw all of the
severed doors into the trashbox
along with the mail they took
from the boxes.
The vandals have caused some
administrative hassles in
addition to the financial con-
sequences. Mr. Allen, the post-
master downtown, said, "The
boxes are ruined, and if
vandalism continues they can't
be replaced."
"Now we have to keep those
students' mail separate,"
lamented postmistress Mrs.
BaUey, "I'd like to wring their
necks."

Greenwood refrained from
going into detail, only briefly
mentioning various colleges and

However, she is planning a shde-

Oktoberfest 1982
By DEBBIE RIPPY
Oktoberfest der Geist 1982
started off with color rush, a
series of relays between the Reds
and Greens. The Reds won this
competitive event due in large
Dart to the larse number of males
The Meisters were introduced
and welcomed all to Oktoberfest
'82, and the skits began.
The Reds did their skit in
accordance with the story of The
Night Before Christmas.
Grandpa is trying to tuck in his
College student, studying for a
Business Law test. He is talking
about how just about everyone
else is studying, and no one is
really into Oktoberfest. He
travels with three ghosts to the
past, present and future and
■of scheduled events to attend.
The Lancer Edition kicked the
entertainment off with
performances at 9 and 9:30. They
started off with "Great
Jubilation" then went on to
"Blues Down to my Shoes",
on the Reds' team and females on
the Greens'. The Reds also won
the paint battle that followed.
While waiting for the skits to
begin on Thursday, the Klowns
sang songs about speckled frogs
on speckled logs, a lollipop count,
and an old lady who swallowed a
fly, a spider, a bird, a cat, a dog,
a cow and a horse. Of course the
lady died, but why did she
swallow the fly?
Eight Geist members did a
short but cute traditional
German dance which was
repeated at the end of the parade.
Contest
Longwood College students are
invited to participate in
GLAMOUR Magazine's 1983 Top
Ten College Women Competition.
Young women from colleges and
universities throughout the

"Pick a Klown^ any Klown.''
three grandchildren who want to
hear a story first. The story
hasn't been told in so long that
when he opens the book, he must
blow the dust from the pages. He
then began, "It was the night
before Oktoberfest and all
through the halls..."
After his story, the Klowns
gave a performance and were
followed by the Greens giving
their skit.
The Greens' skit was an
adaption of Charles Dickens' "A
Christmas Carol". It started out
with Harold, a typical Longwood
Pottery
witnesses the decline of
Oktoberfest. Escorted by the
ghost of the future who is dressed
all in white except for his very
large green with white
polkadotted tie, Harold watches
as all events and practices are
cancelled since no one is
involved. He knows things need to
change, but that "One person can
not be an Oktoberfest!" Both of
these skits got their points across
so well, that the judges declared
it a tie.
Saturday, although quite cold,
had a large turnout and an array
"Fame", "On My Own", and
"Body Electric." The vibrant
movement that they showed was
the result of choreography by
Eileen Mathis, Horace Scruggs,
and Sabra Seneff. They really
seemed to get the energy flowing
into the audience during the song
"Blues Down to My Shoes".
The Parade was at 11 and there
were not many participants.
Those that did participate
seemed to be having fun though.
First prize in the float
competition went to the color
float displaying the hex sign.
A picnic was held on Stubbs
Mall with a jazz band
performance. The area was
flooded with people waiting in
line for chicken dinners.
The Midway was open from
12:30-4:00 with boothes to suit
just about anyone. You could
smash a Sig, send a Delta Zeta
care package, play games, throw
wet sponges at a crow's face, or
buy foods, drinks, mugs, bumper
stickers, hats or buttons. For the
kids, there were race cars to
drive, a choo-choo train to steer
or ride and a moon walk. In
Wygal's basement, there was a
haunted house sponsored by the
concert choir who had a
performance in Jarman at 1.
During the Klowns
performance at 2:00 in Lancer
Hall, they did various skits and
gymnastics. They started out
tumbling, then sang their version
of a tune from "The Sound of
Music" entitled "My Favorite
Things." They did a bathroom
skit, a suit sale skit and a good
impression of some
unforeseeable machine. The end
and the height of the show was
the pyramid. There were six
layers. Unfortunately, after the
second try the first row was
removed. The third try was a
success though for the last five
layers.
The play "Ten Little Indians"
was shown at 8 p.m. every night.
On Thursday, the Meisters
challenged everyone to search
for the true meaning of
Oktoberfest and to catch the
Oktoberfest spirit. Another point
demonstrated — "Longwood is
the only place where red and
green makes blue."
At Midway
Under a tent that whipped
constantly against the wind in the
field next to the midway stood the
pottery exhibit sponsored by
Randy Edmondson, Professor of
Art here at Longwood. Clad in a
down vest and ski cap
Edmondson explained the
sources and purpose of the
exhibit.
"Students, teachers, and
professionals including local
potter. Tray Eppes, are involved
in the cause," says Edmondson.
"We all get together about a week
before the exhibit for one dav of
mtensive pottery making." A
little over one-hundred pots are
produced and sold for anywhere
between two and fifteen dollars.
"We make on the average about
five-hundred and fifty dollars a
year which isn't a lot but it
helps."
The money made during the
exhibit goes toward new
equipment for the Art
Department. Edmondson stated,
"Students who participate in the
exhibit help themselves as well
as future generations at
Longwood."

Editor's Turn
Dr. Holmeson has always been intrigued with the
mind of a criminal. A disciple of Mailor and no stranger
to Capote, Dr. Holmeson has made his living guiding
clients through the murkey depths of the criminal
psyche.
I went to his study for help yesterday. I, too, was
curious; curious about a certain culprit or culprits who
recently has stolen four dictionaries from the English
Department and ripped the doors off of 13 mailboxes at
the Longwood post office. I hoped Dr. Holmeson could
help me.
"Dr. Holmeson, I've got a problem," I said. He
smiled vaguely and waved me into his study.
I told him my story. "Humm," he settled back into
his chair, eyeing the large, wooden bowled pipe in front
of him, "and the mailboxes, any possibilities of a
numerical code?" he quered.
"None that I know of; it looked as though they just
went in and tore the doors off randomly.
"Did the dictionaries have any particular value
outside of their utility."
"They were big," I said, "and old."
"Curious," he said and fingered his pipe thought-
fully. He lit the pipe and began to pace the floor.
"You know, I have solved many a complicated
problem from this room, siphoned an answer from the
bilage of information a client would offer but this. . .
this," he continued to pace.
"I've heard of religious murders, literal 'cat'
burglars, virgin prostitutes, and southern Baptist
alcoholics, but this. . . this problem; it seems im-
possible." He plunked himself down in the chair. You
see there is no possible, rational motive. Stealing one
dictionary, certainly perhaps two, but four — there is no
solid foundation for such an action. And the mailboxes
— who in his right mind would rip the doors off of 13
mailboxes? They did not keep the mail; they did not
keep the doors ; they did nothing but add to the fees that
the students have to pay. . .students they could well be
themselves. Why, it's the actions of a. . ." and he
stopped talking. His eyes brightened.
"Why, Mr. Johnson, I've been so slow. . . you know
sometimes I wonder if I don't grow too old for this type
of work. I fear senility may have taken the edge off." He
tapped his forehead.
"The answer has been right here in front of us. The
obvious solutions are always the hardest to detect. The
person you are looking for is thoughtless, correct?"
"Certainly," I said.
"He is selfish, for he cares nothing about the
students."
"Yes," I said.
"He is energetic, but not curious; and if he's a
student himself, also rather dumb."
I agreed.
"Well, the person you are looking for is, to sum up
all those qualities in a single word, an 'idiot.'"
"An idiot?" I said.
"Yes, an 'idiot', I think that term is quite succinct."
I had to agree.
Your Turn
Your Turn
To The Student Body:
Monday, November 1st will
mark the beginning of
Longwood's first alcohol
awareness week. Each day of
that week wiU consist of slogans,
posters, pamphlets and one or
more featured speakers each
evening in Jarman Auditorium.
There will be no charge and
faculty, staff and students are
invited to all events.
This week WILL NOT be one of
lectures, threats, or scare tactics
to individuals about "the dangers
of drinking." This is a week of
becoming aware of alcohol and of
peoples experiences through
themselves or someone else
drinking.
The student conrmiittee for this
week wants to extend a challenge
A bit of drama unfolded
Thursday night, as the
Oktoberfest Klowns got into
I trouble trying to complete one of
their pyramids, after already
succeeding on an earlier one. You
have to see these acts, especially
when tried by a group made up
almost entirely of girls, to
appreciate the great effort
required to complete the building
of a human pyramid. One cannot
accuse the Klowns of giving
anything less than 100 percent for
not only their performance
'Thursday night and on through
Oktoberfest but also for the
weeks of preparation it must
have taken them to be ready to
perform these acts. After two
successive failures to complete a
pyramid it became obvious that
they were taxing their limits and
really should have given up, but
they made it on the fourth try,
even though agonized faces were
clearly showing through pointed
makeup of joviality. About 100
people witnessed this and were on
their feet giving a standing
ovation as a result.
So last Thursday night, 22
Klowns and over 100 people
shared a fine moment while the
rest of the college could have
cared less. Apathy has become
more and more prevalent as each
Oktoberfest has passed and this
year, Geist had momentarily
expressed difficulty in getting
enough people to perform some of
the events. The more traditional
events seem to be taking most of
the criticism, being billed as
immature and unintelligent. A
survey conducted by Geist last
year revealed a high overall
interest in concerts and
festhouses while skits and
Klowns were at the low end of the
scale. One cannot say that apathy
and ethnocentism are not a part
of the hostile feelings towards the
traditions, but one must also
admit that the majority of the
average college community is
slowly tuming awa from many
parts of this institutions feature
weekend, whether their feelings
are the result of intelligent
judgements or not.
One of the ironic things about
the accusations of immaturity on
the part of the costumed
participants is that they are
active in many facets of school
life, and cannot be billed as silly
or immature when GPA's and
other such records are shown.
They are merely highly
motivated to get involved in the
school life and this is one of the
most visual ways to be involved.
They are typical of the type of
group that exists in all colleges
that simply needs outlets to
express their support for the
to all of the campus conununity
to attend these events and listen.
That is all we ask for from you.
We feel the speakers are worth
going to see and hope that you
will also.
Respectfully,
Lisa Swackhommer,
Chairman Alcohol
Awareness Week
school. "Find a more suitable
outlet" the opposition would say.
If they are quite happy to be
Klowns and Meisters and such,
maybe they would be just as
happy to fill other roles that are
less offensive to the students that
now insult them. Maybe so.
On Friday afternoon a recent
graduate of Longwood was
leaning on the rail of the balcony
of first floor Cox, where major
parties were to be held that
night. "I like to get drunk and
immature on occasion but
organized immaturity, that's too
much.' At the tail end of a rather
small Oktoberfest parade
Saturday morning, loud
unisonous and very girlish shouts
came from a Farmville fire
truck. "We have the spirit!! We
are the Klowns!!" The chant
sounds determined the
impressive. "It sounds like
Romper Room" one spectator
says.
The work that has gone into
Oktoberfest was well meant and
impressive but the initial ideas
are what the static is about. It is
saddening to see such able people
being offended behind their backs
but when the basis for the offense
is insult of inteUigence, one -
begins to agree with that side. At
a recent press conference a
spokesperson for Geist stated
that "We are not trying to do
away with any of the traditions of
Oktoberfest. We are merely
trying to make the weekend more
enjoyable for everyone." At the
end of last Oktoberfest an alumnus
who was part of the very first
male class at Longwood, bluntly
stated his opinion. "Longwood is
as atavistic as you can get."
There was one group of people
who did nothing at all to
sensationalize the old traditions
of Oktoberfest, while definitely
participating in the event. In the .
Oktoberfest parade, S.P.E. train
No 69 chugged its way to the 35
dollar first prize which was spent
on a keg for the brothers to chug
down later. Even to those who
dislike the festival normally, it
was a hit.
Despite the criticism that
grows yearly in the face of a
slowly changing institution, it is
obvious that Longwood will
always need an Oktoberfest. You
just can't kill the whole thing. But
due to the growing amount of
dissatisfaction in the student
body, some type of format
change would seem to be wise at
this point. Presently, the
criticisms of Oktoberfest are
merely grumblings. Left
unchecked, they could grow into
quite an embarrassing situation
for the college. According to the
silent majority, the elimination of
Oktoberfest would be fallacious
but some change in the structure
is necessary. But the final
decisions are in the hands of
Geist and if the subtle changes
they made this year are any
indication of their ability to
handle the situation, competent
moves should result.

Head up Route 15 to Sprouses

"Everybody is afraid of dying .
. . why, if it is the first time you
are dying ... if we did not know
fire would bum, we would go up
and hug it as a friend ... the very
fear of dying is the very proof
that you have died before . . . and
you don't want that to happen
again."
Sri Swami Satchidananda was
on a roll. He sat in a cushioned
chair shoved to the farthest
comer of his newly built meeting
room. Rows of disciples, monks
and semi-interested fad seekers
circled around him cross-legged
on the floor. Two hundred
yoganites swelling and medi-
tating in reverential dream-
dum.
"... like a peaceful lake — no
waves, a mirror . . . you drop a
stone in — the stone creates a

you fill a depression, why chop

"That's the idea behind
Yogaville" said Swami
Sivananda, one of Sannya's
monks attending the service. We
stood in a room adjacent to the
ceremonial area where
Satchidananda spoke. A series of
four glass panes and a doorway

not from the Swami inside, "We

ago.
"A lot of people who get

our Yoga lifestyle is different, but
we still interact." Savinanda
pointed to a model on a nearby
table, "the Yogaville community
and Lotus are very strongly
connected. We hope to create a
universal church." He handed
me a pamphlet "Truth is One,
Paths are Many." The design of
the church, named Lotus (Light
of Truth Universal Shrine) is,
according to the pamphlet, "a
visual statement of that
oneness." It was designed by
architect James Mcabe (a
disciple of Satchidananda) in the
shape of a Lotus flower and would
occupy a large part of the 700
acres which Yogaville or "The
Integral Yoga Institute" has
already purchased in
Buckingham County. "On the
main level, you will be able to
approach any of the individual
altars where a ray of light shines
on the symbol and scripture of a
particular faith. But when you
turn around to face the center of

the altars are in fact illuminated
by one central light which rises
and divides into those many rays.

Buddhism, Shinotism,
Christianity, Islam, Sikhism and

religions — will be sheltered

April 30, 1980. The Lotus will
require about 2 million in funds
for completion. The following
breakdown shows anticipated
cost of each phase, and in what
area skills and materials will be
needed. Phase one has been
completed.
Phase 1: $250,000 - Road to

Furnishings, lighting, fountains
and landscaping.
On the back of the pamphlet
was a statement of possible ways
to "fill" such needs.
1. GIFT: You may wish to give
now, in whatever sum you can.
2. PLEDGES: For those who
would like to give a significant
amount, but cannot do so all at
once, regular contributions can
be made over a period of time
that is comfortable for you.
3. TITHING: An age-old
custom in many traditions,
giving 5-10 percent of your
income allows you to renew your
commitment to the LOTUS each
month.
Swami Satchidananda's voice
came over the "Big Brute"
speakers hanging from the wall.
"There's nothing wrong with the
world, you don't have to run away
from it to your Himalayan cave.
It's not the things that attack you,
it's your relationship to them. It's
very easy for us to blame
somebody or something for our
misery — but pleasure and pain
do not come as somebody's gift,
you are the creator of your own
Heaven and Hell."
A small girl sat in the comer
looking through photographs of
the construction of
Satchidananda's home, which is
about a half-mile from the
meeting house. There are twenty
children enrolled in the school at
Yogaville. State certified
teachers practice an open
classroom curriculum in the
ceremonial room during the day,
bringing home the maior
disciplines of Yoga. The child
smiled, .everybody seemed to
smile.
"I used to go to school here.
They teach about being friendly
and Yoga. Some of the kids really
cry when they're on vacations.
Kids here aren't as rowdy or
mean like in public schools. They
don't tease you a lot."
"I go to public school in
Washington now, but we come
down here every weekend for
Swami's talk." Her name is
Rada, or divine love. She is an
eleven-year-old adherent to the
Yoga lifestyle. She has never
eaten meat, does not smoke and
does not drink — like all
members of Yogaville.
Rada showed me the rows of
magazines and small gift items
which form a large part of the
financial basis for the Integral
Yoga Institute. Swami
Satchidananda is the subject of
the magazine covers and much of
her incessant chatter
"He's 67, but he doesn't act 67. |
Sometimes he'll take us down to
the lake area in his jeep — I think
it's a Ronco — " "Bronco?"
"Yeah — Bronco, and he has a
Cadillac or something like a
Cadillac — you could call it a
Cadillac, anyway, he does neat
things like setting off
firecrackers on the 4th of July for
everybody to see. He's just like a
little kid."

THE ROTUNDA
Page 5
Continued: Yogaville Truth is one. Paths are many
Rada plans on coming to
Yogaville "regularly —
whenever my parents move down
or whenever I get old enough to
come down." She assesses
Yogaville in familial terms—
"just like a great big home." And
lilie large homes, materials are
exchanged or donated to a
boutique which members can
siphon through for clothes or
other items which may be useful.
Sometimes children are
exchanged. Chitra, or divine
artist, is a young girl about
thirteen. She was editor of a
junior high school newspaper in
Texas before she came to
Virginia last August. Now she
goes to Yogaville. Her family still
lives in Texas. They did not want
her to be bussed 120 miles to the
nearest school, so, being one of
"the family" they contacted
members of the Integral Yoga
Institutes Administration and set
up an arrangement with a family
(the Metros) to care for her in
Buckingham. Chitra's family has
never met the Metros, nor have
they ever been to Buckingham.
"It was a real act of faith to
send her all this way, not knowing
us," said Bhavani Metro, the
mother of 7 children, 6 natural,
and of course Chitra, the
"adopted" child. "We have
people here from all walks of life,
almost all professions — lawyers
in Washington, chiropractors,
doctors, nurses, teachers,
construction workers and
computer services. They're from
areas as far away as India. We
have centers in Richmond,
Connecticut, Washington, New
York and Charlottesville — just
on the East Coast."
The service was ended.
Everybody stood waiting for
Swami Satchidananda to pass
through the room; a slight ripple
in his metaphorical peaceful lake
— the disciples looked
disappointed. He would be going
to Australia for a few months.
Yoga was spreading outward,
reaching the many paths for that
one truth. Satchidananda was
leaving his garden. He smiled as
he walked past in a long white
robe. Tapping Chitra lightly on
the head, he whispered "Your
family will visit you soon . . . take
the calf and the cow will follow."
The Metros drove to Farmville
in a white van. Carpet lined the
interior and the dim back light
shadowed the features of the
children who had eagerly
consented to take a ride with that
stranger from Farmville. They
talked and waved animatedly
reviewing their prophet's words
and shooting questions like "Why
do you write so much?"
Baghavan Metro, the father
and driver, talked of Yogaville's
new airstrip — (they now have a
single engined plane) the Lotus
International Airport. He has his
own construction firm — Metro
Construction. They are adept at
conversation, for TV is not a part
of their lifestyle. Baghavan
comments on the treats that
make up their lives — like going
to a hotel or restaurant and
ordering two desserts — a sugar
"rush" or dosing up on coffee and
experiencing a caffeine "rush."
The children grow tired, it is late,
and midnite excursions no matter
how exciting, eventually take
their toll. Baghavan offered an
apple and commented on the diet
which is usually supplemented by
individual gardens. The
vegetables are expensive out of
season; but this year there was
no garden for the Metros, they
were too busy working with
Yogaville. She looked out the
window as we entered Farmville
town limits. "But a garden for
sure next year . . . definitely a
garden."
L.C. Associate Finds Ancient
Stone Tool
By BETTY BRYANT
Man's link with his far-distant
past is sometimes as fragile as a
bit of stone on the lake shore.
To most of us, that bit of stone
would have had no special
significance. But because of the
collaboration between a "lay"
archeologist and a professional
one, it has now been identified
and recorded by the Smithsonian
Institution as a Paleo-Indian
scraper-blade from the Archaic
Period (9000-1000 B.C.).
Jesse Overstreet, of
Clarksville, found the artifact

near the lake in the Boydton
district of Mecklenburg County.
He took it home and added it to
his collection, which now
numbers approximately 1,000
projectile points, scrapers, and
other tools used by prehistoric
Indians.
Through his wife, who is a
member of the Longwood College
board of visitors, Overstreet met
Dr. James Jordan, director of
Longwood's Field School in
Archeology. The Overstreets
visited the Field School dig in
Cumberland County and the
Smith-Taylor Mound site near
Farmville.
This past summer, the
Overstreets invited Dr. Jordan
and his Field School students to a
picnic at their home in
Clarksville. While there. Dr.
Jordan and the students viewed
Overstreet's collection of
artifacts.
The scraper-blade captured
Dr. Jordan's attention
immediately. "It is unlike any
artifact I had ever seen before,"
Jordan said. "Both the material
and the shape are different from
artifacts usually found in this
part of the country."
Dr. Jordan offered to send the
artifact to Dr. George Phoebus,
supervisor of the Anthropological
Processing Laboratory at the
Smithsonian, for identification.
"I think Dr. Jordan thought it
might be something I had made,
trying to fool him," Overstreet
recalls with amusement. "He

Archeology Dig
Begins
By CINDY CORELL
The archeology dig at the third
excavation site at Hampden-
Sydney began last Wednesday
afternoon with a crew of eight
Longwood students, Longwood
professor. Dr. James W. Jordan
and Anthropology intern from
George Washington University
and excavation director. Bob
Flippen.
The crew consisted of
Archeology veterans: Johnny
Aranza, Rose Goad, Mary Ellen
Munoz, and David Wilson and
those relatively unfamiliar with
the work: Mary Cawthorne,
Linda Compton, Joanne Gerow
and Tom Richard.
They first went to the museum
at H-SC and saw some of the
the dig including a lot of ceramic
wares, glass wares, and a small
caliber bullet. Some of the most
important objects were three
clay pipe stems, even a rare one
that still had the entire name of
the manufacturer, "I. Hayes."
Two very unusual ceramic pieces
were found, both of them
supposedly plates. One was
yellow, one grey and both had
unique designs rubbed through
the glaze.
Another excavation is planned
for Friday, Oct. 29, and if anyone
is interested in the short-ranged
project, they are invited to
contact Bob at the Department of
Sociology-Anthropology at 392-

Smithsonian."
He has been completely
vindicated by the Smithsonian's
official report, indicating that the
stone tool is quite possibly 10
thousand years old.
Overstreet has been collecting
artifacts for almost 30 years.
"When I moved to Qarksville in
1953, there was a lot of (Buggs
Island) construction going on,"
he said. "Everybody was saving
artifacts and talking about
them."
He describes himself as a
history buff and a beachcomber
at heart. "This kind of thing gets
a hold on you," he said. "You find
something like the scraper-blade,

Overstreet and his son, Robert

from the spot where the scraper-

now an air-traffic controller in
Baltimore, still shares his
father's interest in artifact col-
lecting. "Whenever. he comes
home, he tries to find time to go to
a promising site and look
around," Overstreet said.
How does he recognize an
artifact? "Well, this is something
you learn," Overstreet
explained. "Shape and color are
clues. Most of the artifact stone is
very white or bluish, different in
color (to his eyes, at least) from
the native rock in this area.

Davis vs. Trible— Nov. 2
Davis Sets Education Issue Straight
Dear Eklitor:
In recent weeks, persons acting
on behalf of Paul Trible's
campaign have distributed
materials on Virginia campuses
which falsify and distort my
views on education.
Unfortunately, distortion has
l)ecome a staple of the Trible
campaign. I'm sending you the
enclosed information to set the
record straight.
Financing Higher Education
Students returning to campus
this fall and their parents have
been faced with some very
perplexing questions about
financial assistance and student
loans. For many, there has been
a great deal of uncertainty and
confusion — will there be enough
student aid available, will we
qualify, what changes have been
made?
The reason for this confusion
and concern is evident. The
federal budget for the basic Pell
Grants for needy students has
been trimmed; the Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant
program has been cut by 25
percent; there have been cuts in
the College Work Study and State
Student Incentive Grants
programs and cuts in new fund-
for National Direct Student
Loans. Altogether, these loan
cuts have amounted to a 17
percent reduction in funds for
this fall.
College and university officials
expect there to be further cuts in
the largest of all aid programs,
the Guaranteed Student Loan
program. How much the cuts will
be and who will be affected are
still unknown.
In the meantime, many
students and parents have not
applied for loans, thinking that
they were no longer eligible or
that the money had dried up.
State and federal loan programs,
as a result, have seen a drop in
the number of applicants,
available money that is not being
apportioned to students, and the
inevitable last minute rush of
applicants.
Students and parents are
forced to plan all the more
carefully and a long-range basis
for the mounting costs of higher
education. They must be able to
plan with the knowledge that
loans, assistance programs,
scholarships and other forms of
aid will be available to those who
are deserving, talented and
motivated.
Because of the central
importance of education and the
need to ensure that education is
available to as many as possible
who have the drive, intelligence,
and ambition to succeed, I outline
these basic policy goals for
higher education assistance.
Cuts in financial aid for higher
education should be stopped.
Stability and continuity are
necessary in financial aid
programs.
More work-study opportunities
are necessary.
Greater surveillance of studeiit
abuse of loans is necessary.
"Students, parents, college and
university officials, and lending
institutions must know clearly,
and with sufficient lead time, how
much money will be available
(for financial aid), if students
and their parents will be eligible,
and if work-study funds will be
available."

Dick Davis
A Letter to Students Concerning Trible
A very important event will
take place in Virginia one week
from today. The citizens of VA
will elect either Representative
Paul Trible or Lt. Gov. Dick
Davis for the U.S. Senate.
. Let's look at the issue of
aid to students of higher
education. This year Paul Trible
introduced a bill into the House of
Representatives which would
greatly increase the amount of
money to assist students in
paying for their higher education.
Under Mr. Trible's legislation,
tax payers who would be eligible
for federal tax refunds would be
able to check a box at the end of
their tax return indicating their
desire to contribute to programs
of student financial assistance.
The amount designated, ten
dollars for a single return or
twenty dollars for a jointly filed
return, would be used to support
programs authorized by Title IV
of the Higher Education Act of
1965. These programs aid post
secondary students in meeting
their college costs and take the
form as Guaranteed Student
Uans, Pell Grants, Work Study,
National Direct Student Loans,
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants and Student
Incentive Grants. The individual
donors could specify which
program they wished to
contribute to. If the tax payer did
not specify the program, then the
federal government would
distribute the money to the Title
IV programs. This program
would neither drain revenue from
the government nor contribute to
the budget deficit.
Secondly let's look at Dick
Davis' views on taxes. He
supports deferring or eliminating
the third year ten percent tax cut
which the government owes you.
And when speaking of Social
Security on October the sixth,
Mr. Davis stated Social Security
payments should be met "...I
don't care where it comes from.
Granted, Social Security
payments must be met, but a
more equitable system should be
devised to help keep the system
sound,
Lastly, I conclude this letter
with a quote from the next junior
senator from the state of
Virginia. "Evidently Dick Davis
has nothing of substance to say to
the people of Virginia, and would
prefer to draw the campaign
away from the matters that are
of importance — jobs, the
economy and defense. Virginia's
future is at stake. It's unfortunate
that a candidate for the senate in
Virginia would resort to
questionable campaign tactics.
Do we want Virginia's future to
be in the hands of someone who
has to resort to name-calling
because he has no substance to
back him up, no experience to
back him up, someone who can't
address the issues of the
campaign because he can't
understand them?" When we go
to vote next week, remember that
we are voting for a candidate for
the U.S. Senate from
Virginia,Virgliila. Don't settle for
second best, let's all tell Dick
Davis "tough luck". Vote for the
man who best represents the
interests of the upcoming
generation, Vote for Paul Trible.
Cordially,
Tom Moran
Results of Mock Elections
Students at Longwood College
selected Paul
Tribh over Dick Davis by bet-
ter than a 2 to 1 margin in a mock
election sponsored by the Student
Government Association today.
The final tally showed Trible the
victor over Davis, 87 percent to 33
percent.
Tom Moran, chairman of the
Longwood College Republicans,
said it was Trible's positions on
iwaiu Ma«|«U»tM*«^>
the issues which concern young
Virginians that prompted them to
choose Trible as the next junior
senator and not Dick Davis.
"There is no doubt that Davis'
statement regarding social
security has hurt him
considerably," stated Moran.
Two weeks ago Davis said it
would be "just tough luck" if
young people have to shoulder the
burden of higher taxes to support
social security.
Cherie Stevens, President of
the Student Government
Association, said, "Tviice as
many students have participated
in the mock election this year.
This reflects a growing concern
of students for what's going to
affect their future. ^
The official vote count was 225
for Trible and 74 for Davis.

Play Review— i 0-4 Little Indians
There's-nothing like an Agatha
Christie mystery — sitting back
under a veranda, sipping gin and
tonic or iced tea depending on
one's preference, and slipping
into the sleuth's shoes, invading
the dark recesses of a murderer's
membranes, or when brought to
the stage i seeing the intricate
network of deceptions unfold
before your eyes, the actors and
actresses bringing to life the
psychological foibles of Christie's
characters. Foibles as obvious as
an alcoholic doctor who "doth
protest too much" or as subtle as
a would-be murderer who
protests not at all.
Character delineation is
Christie's strong suit and
nowhere is it more prevalent than
in the stage adaptation of "10
Little Indians" performed
October 20-23 at Jarman
Auditorium by the Long-
wood Players.
The play is set in August of
1944, in the living room of a house
on Indian Island, off the coast of
Devon, England. Ten visitors
arrive having supposedly been
sent invitations by some unknown
party. The murders begin and the
plot thickens. Could it be Rogers,
the reluctant butler (William
Huskey)? Or perhaps Philip
Lombard (Mark Winecoff),
suave and debonair man of the
minute.^ The audience is never
really sure until the end. Guesses
are taken: "It's the butler, I
know it's the butler"; "No, no,
look at the face of that doctor, a
criminal for sure," but the
Longwood Players keep the game
going; run the audience through
a gamut of titillating emotions
(slapstick hilarity, heart-
breaking secrets and, of course,
gruesome death scenes) until the
last shot is fired.
Mr. Evans should be
complimented on the beautiful
set. If he can provide such an
elaborate backdrop, in two
weeks' time, one wonders what
he could do in a month, in a year
(perhaps another King Arthur's
court for Camelot, eth?) The
lighting was impressive, but ran
into a short or two during
Thursday's performance
(according to Dr. Lock wood just
another visitation from the local
Jarman ghost). The performers
covered quite well for that and
other mishaps also (was
Wargrave really supposed to spill
that drink during Friday's
performance ... not matter, Mr.
Thomas made it seem that way
and played it with the true
audacity of a professional).
Choreography was a shifting
maze of feet and characters
which added to the tension,
building steadily throughout the
play. The confusion it caused
heightened the overall effect of
deepening mystery and
something about to happen —
masterful.
Act I , as an introduction,
was a little slow-paced. William
Huskey (Rogers) needs to work
on projection and the opening
scene between him and Cynthia
Jude (Mrs. Rogers) needed work
— rather choppy and in some
cases barely audible. The act
picked up with the entrance of the
other guests, though. Michael
Foster's (William Blore) hand
shaking zealotry was humorous
and lightened the act
considerably (particularly his
handshake with Sir Lawrence
Wargrave — Jeffrey Thomas) —
nice job.
David Walton as Anthony
Warston needs to pick up an
English accent somewhere if his
character's roost is London — a
Southern drawl just doesn't cut it.
Aside from that his performance
was quite good.
Mark Winecoff as Lombard
stands out as one of the best
performances of the evening. He
fit the character like a glove (or
at least made it seem that way)
and would have stolen the show if
there weren't so many other
talented actors and actresses
around him.
Act II picked up the pace and
was an overall success. Sound
effects for the storm were nicely
done. Character interaction was
at a high point and came off
unmarred. Particular praise
goes to Michael Foster and Mark
Winecoff. You could see the
hidden sparks flying. Anthony
Russo pulled off Dr. Armstrong's
stumbling over a drink (alas,
only water) with nice timing and
did a fine job throughout the play.
Sabra Seneff as an hysterical
Vera Claythome reminds one of
the old adage, "Hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned" — very
realistic. Whoever bought the
blanks for the show must have
had a thing for gunpowder — loud
and scary — quite effective. The
only complaint is General
MacKensie who, made up as an
old gent and obviously suffering
from senility, occasionally lapsed
into a voice which sounded not
unlike a college student's. True,
consistency is the hobgloblin of
little minds, but a 70-vear-oid
character that sounds fiv» years
out of puberty is a little hard to
swallow.
The crescendo of the play and
the performance was, of course,
Act III. Jeffrey Thomas as an
insane Sir Lawrence Wargrave
was brilliantly delineated. Ahh,
the pregnant pause of
melodrama, the fast weaving
speeches chanted on the edges of
sanity, the rumbled hair, the
agitated eyes, the quickening
gestures — he must have loved
that part — so did the audience.
Sabra and fftark did a great job
laying the groundwork for that
scene and also finishing it off.
What more can be said?
Hopefully, some of the technical
aspects of Jarman can be
smoothed out before the next play
(lighting and sound) and perhaps
a few of the actors and actresses
will watch the boo-boos that don't
ruin a play but can certainly take
the edge off. Overall, though, if
the next show contains as much
talent as this one did, the
Longwood Players can take a
well-deserved bow.
Reauirements For Aid Established
At the May Board of Visitors
meeting a policy was adopted
which adhered to guidelines set
forth by the Federal Government
for academic requirements for
students receiving financial aide.
The policy is divided into two
main areas for Federal Financial
Aide — Campus based programs
(the financial aide office at
Longwood select the recipient
and the amount — according to
his-her needs) which include
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
College Work Study (CW-S) and
National Direct Student Loans
(NLSL) and noncampus based
programs (programs where the
amount is determined by the
Financial Aide Office but the
recipient is not) which include
Pell Grants, Guaranteed Student
Loans and Plus Loans.
Grants are awards of money
that you do not have to pay back,
work-study gives the student a
chance to work and earn the
money needed. Loans are
borrowed money which a student
must repay with interest.
For those students receiving
campus based financial aide
there are three major
requirements. The student must
be enrolled for twelve
undergraduate hours or nine
graduate hours and must have a
satisfactory academic standing
defined as follows.
1. Continued enrollment at
semester, and must have made
satisfactory academic progress,
which means that during any
year in which a student receives
financial assistance, that student . . , ..
must average 12 earned credit ff^^^^^f standing requirements

certification of registration for
(such as CSAP-College sophomore at Longwood the draft before receiving
Scholarship Assistance Program College), a sophomore after financial aide. Also a 10-40 tax
or VELA Virginia Education completing 60 hours and a junior form will be required.
for graduate enrollment).
Typically a student who attends
both fall and spring semesters
and who does not attend summer
school, must complete 24 credit
hours during those two
semesters. A student who does
not earn the 24 hours has the
following options:
1. Enroll for the necessary
number of hours during the
summer term (without summer
financial aid). Successful
completion would reestablish aid
eligibility for the following
semester.
2. Not attend the summer term
and for the fall semester (without
financial aid) earn 12 hours plus
the necessary number to bring
the total (fall and spring from the
prior year plus fall semester) to
36 hours. Successful completion
of these hours would reestablish
eligibility for the spring
semester.
For the noncampus based aid
such as Pell grants the
requirements are the same if the
student is full time. If a part-time
student the required number of
hours to be completed will be
reduced proportionately.
Students withdrawing from the
college during the semester will
Loan Authority) have the same ^^^^ completing 90 hours. If a
student withdraws after the
halfway point through the
semester, he-she is not eligible
(except if withdrawal is for
medical reasons) to receive aid
for a waiting period of one year.
Starting next year (1983-84)
male students over 18 must have
student) but only distribute aide
per grade level.
Thus a freshman can only
receive more aide after
completing 30 credit hours (the
requirement for being a
Director of Financial aide Mr.
Marvin Ragland put it quite
simply "Money's getting so tight
that they're not giving it away
like they used to. You can't make
a six-year career out of college
anymore. Financial aide is trying
to give money to students that
need it and deserve it."

"I am always impressed with

annual Fall Choral Festival
which was presented Sunday at
7:30 m Jarman Auditorium.
About 200 high school juniors
and seniors from all over the
state of Virginia gathered on
Jarman 's stage to sing three
pieces. "Regina Coeli," by
Wolfgang Mozart. "The Road Not
Taken." and "Choose Something
Like A Star," from Randall

fifteen string instruments and
nine winds, and is made up of
Longwood Music faculty, music
students and professional
musicians from the Richmond

From Womb To Tomb
By JOAN BROOKS
LYNDA WHITLEY
Dr. L. B. Rock was, in A
number of ways, a lot like his
name. His jaws were set tightly
and his brownish blond hair did
not take away from the allusion . .
. "Rock". He was very calm,
unmoved, you might say, by the
questions Toby Thompson's
Longwood journalism class
threw at him. Most importantly
Rock stood for something . . .
himself.
Dr. L. B. "Sandy" Rock is the
only doctor in a small county on
the other side of the Blue Ridge
Mountains named Craig. Craig
County patients differ from city
patients. They know little or
nothing about preventive
medicine, and aren't as well read
as city patients. "The people
from the country come in and ask
for penicillin for runny noses."
The teen-agers are different
from most. The girls marry
early, some don't even finish high
school. The ones who go off
to college become sexually
permissive, take drugs, and turn
to alcohol to help them overcome
the pressures that they aren't
used to. Rock stated that, "Most
of the kids who grow up in this
area want to get the hell out but
they usually find the city to be a
terrible place and they come on
back."
An average day for Rock
begins when he "comes into the
office about 9:00 a.m." to a
waiting room full of patients
either with or without
appointments. Most cases are
infectious diseases, or follow ups
for chronic lung problems, heart
problems, or high blood pressure.
He has noticed that the injuries
he treats are seasonal. Injuries
caused by the chain saw happen
in the spring and fall when people
cut firewood. Gunshot wounds
happen during hunting season.
Unlike most city doctors. Rock
makes house calls and is also the
county coroner since the nearest
hospital is twenty-five miles
away. He literally treats
everything from the womb to the
tomb.
He chose to practice in a small
town because the rural people
were ignorant of preventive
health care. He hoped not only to
cure them, but also to educate
them. He added that he has
enjoyed the country life. He lives
alone but friendly neighbors keep
him company. He speaks highly
of a couple in their mid-eighties
who invite him over frequently,
and an elderly lady who cooks
Sunday dinner for him every
week. "You just can't help but be
close to the people," he says. He
arrived in Craig County two
years ago with a two year
commitment and now his
patients want him to stay for the
next thirty-five years.
He has chosen not to continue
his practice in Craig County,
however. His commitment ends
in December. He has accepted a
position with Virginia Tech as a
student health counselor. He says
his reason for change is, "I didn't
want a life of constant medicine,
and I am interested in student
health." Some of the problems of
a college age student are
relatively new to Dr. Rock who
admits that he has been away
from them a long time and he was
afraid he couldn't handle their
problems. He feels students are
more into alcohol and drugs and
are much more sexually per-
missive. Because of the
permissiveness he was seeing a
lot of sexually transmitted
diseases. One disease Dr. Rock
elaborated on was a homosexual
related disease called
kaposisarcma. It
totally wipes out a person's
inununity system. Someone with
this disease can die from
something as simple as a cold.
Drugs and alcohol are a definite
problem with college students.
Dr. Rock feels that marijuana is
everywhere. Some people would
rather have drugs because it
changes some people for the
better while it changes others for
the worse.
Dr. Rock does not know how
long he will stay at Tech. "It
depends on whether or not I like
it," he said. His plans for the
future are simple. He hopes thai
in the next ten years he will nol
be blown to oblivion by a nuclear
holocaust. His sole advice to
college students is, "Hmmmmm
. . . Have your blood pressure
checked. And, oh yeah, don't
smoke cigarettes. I'm a fanatic
about cigarette smoking."

Basketball Conference Formed
starting in January, 1984
Longwood will join with
Randolph-Macon, Radford,
Mount St. Mary's, Maryland
Baltimore County and
Pittsburgh-Johnstown as play
begins in the Mason Dixon
Athletic Conference, a Division II
men's basketball league.
Formation of the conference
which took place October 6 in a
meeting at Randolph-Macon, was
a big day for Longwood
basketball. After joining Division
n in 1980, the I.ancers now have
their first ever conference
affiliation since the men's
basketball program began in
1976. There is a strong likelihood
that the conference will add other
sports in the future.
Being a member of the Mason
Dixon means that Longwood will
have at least 10 games against
quality opponents each season
and in the future the Lancers and
other conference members will
have a shot at qualifying for an
automatic berth in the NCAA
playoffs. The new league must
wait until the spring of 1985 to
request the automatic qualifier.
The new conference should be
one of the strongest Division II
leagues in the nation. Longwood,
which advanced to the Division
ni Final Four in 1980, has an 81-
28 record over the past four
seasons. Radford has had a
strong program in recent years
and The Mount, UMBC and
Randolph-Macon have made a
Booters Win 2
By BECKY DUNK
In soccer action last week, the
Longwood Lancers chalked up
two more victories and suffered
one defeat. Their record now
stands at 10-3-1.
Randolph-Macon, one of
Longwood's toughest opponents,
visited for an afternoon match on
October 19. The Lancers defeated
them 2-1.
Both of Longwood's goals came
in the first half. Steve Kern's shot
from forty yards out bounced
over the goalie and into the net
for their first goal. With four
minutes left in the first half, Gus
Leal scored his fourth goal of the
season, with an assist from Chris
Wilkerson.
Randolph-Macon came back
with one goal in the second half,
but it wasn't enough to stop the
Lancers.
Brian Sprinkle played the
entire game in goal. He saved
seven of Randolph-Macon's eight
^ots.
On October 22, Longwood
easily defeated visiting Newport
News 6-0. (This game was
originally scheduled for October
13, but was postoned due to rain.)
High scorers for the game were
Leal and Tim Brennan with a
goal apiece in both halves. The
other two goals were scored by
Clay Mullican (first half) and
Dan Bubnis (second half).
Good offensive performances
were given by Brennan, Leal and
Steve McGuri.
Al Del Monte tended the Lancer
goal during the first half, and was
replaced by D.J. Walters in the
second half.
On October 23, host Virginia
Wesleyan defeated Longwood 1-0.
This was just the third loss for the
Lancers this season.
Starters Gus Leal and Steve
Kern were held out of action for
disciplinary reasons.
Longwood remains idle until
October 30-31, when they travel to
Randolph-Macon for the Mid-
Atlantic Tournament. Other
tournament participants include
Radford and Mount Saint Mary's.
Hockey Team Hosts
Radford
In last week's action,
Longwood's field hockey team
was edged by James Madison 2-1,
shut out Bridgewater 3-0 and fell
to Duke 2-0.
Jeannie Wakelyn scored one
goal in both the JMU and
Bridgewater game, while
handing out two assists.
•'Her speed greatly contributed
to our win against Bridgewater
and our effectiveness in the
Madison game," said Coach
Bette Harris of the senior
forward.
B. J. Casey and Susan Groff
also scored in Friday's
Bridgewater contest. Goalie
Loirie Garber led the defense
total of nine appearances in the
national tournament since 1977.
Starting with the 1983-84
season, the MDAC will have
double round-robin slate with
games being played between
January 10 and the last Saturday
in February. A six-team post-
season tournament will be held
with Mount St. Mary's serving as
the first host school. Radford will
host the tourney in 1985, UMBC in
1986, Longwood in 1987,
Pittsburgh-Johnstown in 1988 and
Randolph-Macon in 1989.
Longwood plays Radford and
Randolph-Macon twice and
Maryland Baltimore County once
in the upcoming season.
Golfers 4-0
Paced by an overall team
effort. Longwood's men's golf
team defeated Ferrum Saturday
at the Longwood Golf Course.
rne Lancers finished the fall
season 4-0 in match play with the
337 to 356 victory over Ferrum.
Freshman Tommy Spencer
fired an 83 giving him runner-up
meadlist honors. Richard Miller
and David Pittman were next,
shooting 84's.
Other Longwood scores
included: Stan Edwards 86,
Punkaj Rishi 87 and Ty Bordner
90.
Looking forward to the
spring season, coach Steve
Nelson said, "We didn't play well
but it still was a good fall season;
the freshmen and first year
players had a good experience."
with a total of 21 saves in the
three-game week.
"I feel we played fairly well
against some tough
competition," said Coach Harris
of last week's play against two
Division I schools.
Longwood's J.V. team beat
Bridgewater J.V. 4-0 and lost to
James Madison J.U. 2-0
This week the Lady Lancers
travel to Mary Washington on
Wednesday, host Radford on
Friday at 3:00 and participate in

Sports Profile: Robin Andrews
Running, Weight-Training Important For Golfers Too,
By BECKY DUNK
According to Longwood senior
golfer Robin Andrews, golf is
"not just a game where fat men
go out on the course, drive around
in golf carts, and play as fast as
they can." Golf is a sport which
requires rigorous exercise and
strong arms and legs.
Being a dedicated golfer, Robin
believes it is very important to
stay in shape. "You have to be in
good physical shape, partly
because you have to carry your
golf clubs around for 18 holes."
To stay in shape, Robin
practices almost every day. She
is sometimes on the course
chipping away at the ball for four
hours at a time. In addition, she
goes running every other day.
During the winter, Robin lifts
weights to keep her muscles
toned.
All this exercise, practice, and
conditioning has paid off. And
how! Robin has led the Lady
Lancer golf team to second and
third place finishes in Division II
Nationals, twice attaining All-
American status for herself.
She holds two school records:
low score two rounds and low
score three rounds. She has won
many golf tournaments, amateur
and collegiate, during her career.
Finally, Robin has been
selected Longwood College
Player of the Week five times.
Who is the person behind all these
honors and awards?
Sitting on her bed, golf clubs
close at hand, Robin, a Business
Administration major from
Woodlawn, Virginia, tells us how
she began playing golf. "I started
playing when I was about ten
years old. I went to the golf
course with my dad when he got
off work in the afternoon." She

The Longwood women's

13-15, 15-13, 15-3 and suffered a
setback to Radford by scores of
15-11, 6-15, 6-15 Thursday,

Although the Lady Lancers
would have liked to take two
victories, Coach Joyce Phillips
was impressed with the win over
Ferrum.
loves being out-of-doors and
enjoys "just walking around," so
golf is the perfect sport for her.
Robin's high school, Carroll
County High, had no girl's golf
team. Consequently, she played
on the boy's team. This
experience helped her a lot.
Robin says that the guys "used to
hit (the ball) from the farthest
tees and I would try to hit as far
as they did."
Robin was captain of the boy's
golf team during her junior and
senior years. This fact shows how
well she was accepted by the
guys on the team.
Robin came to Longwood on a
full golf scholarship. She
received an offer of a partial
scholarship from a school in
southern Illinois. However, "It's
too cold there," Robin says, so
she decided to stay in her native
Virginia.
"My game has really improved
since I came to Longwood,"
Robin says. Mostly she has
improved her short game (chips
and putts). "I have become more
patient with myself, too," Robin
Kersey AU-American
Longwood junior forward
Jerome (THE COBRA) Kersey
has been named to the pre-season
small college All-America
basketball team chosen by Street
& Smith's Official Yearbook for
1982-83.
One of only three Virginia
cagers named to the team.
Kersey is the ghird leading
career rebounder and field goal
percentage shooter among active
players in NCAA Division II. He
averaged 17 points and 11.8
rebounds last season as a
sophomore, ranking seventh in
Division II rebounding.
Twenty players from NCAA
Divisions II and III and the NAIA
were chosen for the Street &
Smith team, compiled by Jim
Bukata. Other Virginia cagers
picked were Hampton Institute
senior Tony Washington and
Roanoke College senior Gerald
Holmes.
Unquestionably one of the
finest players in the nation,
Kersey led Longwood in scoring,
rebounding, steals (45), dunks
(28) and blocked shots (26) in '81-
'82 and was second in assists (61 ) .
The 6-7 power forward has scored
864 points and pulled down 509
rebounds in his career while
making 60-9 per cent of his shots
from the floor. He was a first
team All-South Atlantic Region
selection last season.

says. "If I'm having a bad game,
I try not to get upset."
Robin thoroughly enjoys
participating in tournaments.
She likes to watch other people
play almost as much as she "gets
into" playing herself. "I love to
watch other good golfers," Robin
says. "I played once with a girl
who had shot a 67. I enjoyed
playing the course with her,
talking to her."
Robin has shot one hole-in-one
during her golf career. It came
while she was participating in a
Virginia State Tournament.
Naturally, the hole-in-one
occurred during pre-toumament
practice. "I hit it badly and it just
happened to roll in," Robin says
with a laugh.
Ideally, when she graduates in
May of 1983, Robin would like to
play professionally and coach or
teach golf. However, this really
would not be practical. "There's
a lot of stress when you play
professionally... you have to win
or you don't make any money,"
she says. And Robin, just like all
the rest of us, will need money to
survive.
She hopes to find a
management job and continue to
play amateur golf. Maybe one
day she will go professional. For
right now, however, Robin just
feels fortunate she is able to play.

Longwood All- Americans : A Diverse Group
By KENT BOOTY
Their sports range from
baseball and soccer to golf and
gymnastics. Their hometowns
are as big as Cincinnati and as
small as Woodlawn, Va.
(populaUon - MAYBE %??(.
They include four seniors, a
junior and one sophomore.
But all of these Longwood
College studoits have something
in common. They are All-
Americans.
And they aren't the first All-
American athletes that
Longwood has boasted recently.
In the past three years, a total
of 11 Longwood students have
achieved Ail-American status in
their respective sports. One
athlete, who has since graduated,
attained the equivalent of all-
American status three
consecutive years, and another
has made it twice.
The six Ail-Americans
currently enrolled at Longwood
are: Robin Andrews (golf).
Darryl Case t soccer), Dayna
Hankinson (gymnastics),
Dwayne Kingery and Doug
Toombs (baseball), and Tim
White (golf). A seventh Ail-
American, golfer Emily
Fletcher, withdrew to transfer
early this semester.
Some, like Case and Andrews,
give much of the credit to their
coaches at Longwood.
"What Rich (Posipanko) did is
that he gave me the chance,"
noted Case, a business
administration major from
Cincinnati. "I had to prove
myself. And the players helped a
lot, too."
Asked where his soccer career
was before coming to Longwood,
Case said bluntly, "Nowhere."
Andrews, a business
administration major from the
Carroll County community of
Woodlawn, praised women's golf
coach Barbara Smith for her
patience and confidence-
building.
"She helps us on our attitudes;
that's a big part of it," said
Andrews, an All-American in 1981
and again this year. "She helps
us when we get down on
ourselves. Confidence is
important — if you think you can
do something, you can do it."
Case was center fullback, or
"stopper," on the team that
compiled an 11-4-3 mark — the
best ever — last year. Andrews,
who finished fourth in the
national women's Division 11
tournament in 1981, was runner-
up at the state amateur
tournament this past summer.
Last year's baseball team, the
Division II South Atlantic Region
champs, featured a pair of Ail-
Americans: shortstop Dwayne
Kingery and catcher Doug
Toombs.
Toombs, a social work major
from Chase CSty, became an Ail-
American after a phenomenal
freshman %ason during which he
led Division III with a .565 batting
average. He is Longwood's
career leader in batting average
(.422), hits, runs batted in and
doubles.
"I just love the game. I've
always wanted to play baseball,"
noted Toombs.
Kingery, who transferred to
Longwood after two years at
Ferrum College, also professes a
love for the national pastime.
"I've played since I was five,"
said Kingery a business -
administration major from
Roanoke. And like his team-
mate, his statistics are
impressive; he led the team with
38 RBI's last spring, hit .390 and
was named most valuable player
for the regional tournament.
Dayna Hankinson claims the
distinction of reaching the lofty
All-American plateau in her
freshman year. A business

"The team spirit is one of the
best things," Hankinson, now a
sophomore, said of the women's
gymnastics program. "That's
one of the reasons I came here."
Golfer Tim White, a
Richmonder who will graduate
this December, was named All-
American during his sophomore
year. One of 20 individual golfers

MADD, SADD, Others Present Cases
During Alcohol Awareness Week
By DEBBIE RIPPY
and JUUF CRUMPTON
In March of 1981 the first
chapter of Mothers Against
Drunk Drivers was started in
Virginia by Susan Midgett whose
14-year-old son was killed by a
drunk driver on Sept. 30, 1980.
The driver hit the boy who was
located over 15 feet off of the
highway and proceded on as if he
had only hit a dog. He was
apprehended 2^ miles away with
a blood alcohol content (BAG) of
.33.
At present, the man is out on a
work release with a job at a bar
and grill just 3 blocks from Susan
Midgett 's house. He will get his
license back this coming Dec. 2.
Susan Midgett spoke last
Monday night at Jarman
Auditorium, the first of
Longwood's Alcohol Awareness
Week speakers. She provided
some interesting statewide
statistics. There are 500-600
deaths annually, 42 deaths
monthly, and 10-11 deaths weekly
due to drunk drivers. Nationally
there are 26,000 deaths annually,
500 deaths weekly, 71 deaths a
day, and 1 death every half hour.
One thousand or more victims
are crippled, injured or maimed
for life yearly. Drunk drivers cost
$24 billion a year in property
damage, human life, and
funerals.
The punishments for these
offenses are rather slack. If the
driver is caught drunk a second
time there is a mandatory jail
sentence to be served at his
convenience. If he is convicted of
involuntary manslaughter he will
face a sentence of 1-10 years
when it used to be only 1 to 5.
When MADD marched at the
General Assembly, they were
still Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers. Since then the name has
been changed to Many Against
Drunk Drivers.
Mrs. Midgett stated that her
group is not out for destruction.
They only want progressive
change in the laws to help
prevent the accidents caused by
drunk drivers.
"More than two-third's of
adults drink occasionally. Most
do so moderately. One out of ten
are problem drinkers. And
thousands of these problem
drinkers are under twenty-one."
Kim Terry, former resident of
^armviile and graduate of
Longwood, stated some facts
concerning alcoholism before
starting her speech on Tuesday
night.
She began in a very straight
forward way.
"Both of my parents were
alcoholics. I was affected by it
long before I was afflicted with
alcohol. I was afraid to take
people home because they might
talk about my parents. I was very
protective."
Kim began to drink the first
day of her freshman year when
her aunt attempted suicide. She
drank to cope with her feelings
and she also began to build up a
reputation.
At the beginning of her
sophomore year her aunt
committed suicide. Her mother
gave her three beers before the
news. She felt a lot of depression.
She saw several deans for
counseling and took classes at
random to stay in school because
that was expected of her.
Eventually, she decided to go
into social work. She discovered
during her internship at Norfolk
that she didn't know how to
handle the real world. While she

Minority Students Increase Pursued
By Dora Ann Daniels
Back in 1978, the Federal
Government and the United
States Department of Education
were informed that there still
existed several institutions of
higher learning in the state of
Virginia which were not in
compliance with the established
desegregation laws.
Faced with the possible cutoff
of federal funds. Governor Dalton
acted as overseer of a possible
method to effect desegregation in
these institutions. The outcome:
the Virginia Plan.
The Virginia Plan is the
product of an agreement between
the state of Virginia and the
Office of Civil Rights of the
United States Department of
Education. The purpose of this
plan was to increase the number
of other race faculty, staff, and
students in Virginia's
predominately white, state-
supported institutions.
The Department of Education
established enrollment goals for
each of the fourteen public,
predominately white institutions
in Virginia, with hopes that all
objectives would be met by June
30, 1983. Unfortunately, the
Virginia Plan has not been
considered successful. By their
own admission, Virginia attests
to falling short of their goals. By
Fall, 1980, only 1286 minority
students had been enrolled in
Virginia's traditional
institutions. This is 334 short of
the 1,650 they had hoped to have
enrolled by that time.
As of June 19, 1982, the Reagan
Administration rejected the
Virginia Plan as a failure and
ordered Virginia to come up with
a new strategy to bring about
desegregation in these schools.
Longwood College is one of
such institutions under Federal
scrutiny. The College has chosen
to direct their efforts towards the
recruitment of black faculty,
students, and staff. During the
past four years, Longwood's
recruitment efforts have been
somewhat successful: the school
year 1979-80 marked a good year
for recruitment of students as did
the years 198(K81 and 1981-82 for
faculty and staff recruitment.
However none of these efforts
have been consistent.
The 1982-83 school year marks
the beginning of a concerted,
continuous effort to recruit
minority students, faculty, and
staff to Longwood, despite the
fact that the overall plan has
been deemed a failure. With the
installment of Longwood's new
President, Dr. Janet Greenwood,
and other new persons under her
administration, great measures
are being taken to insure the
enrollment of minority students
at Longwood.
The summer of 1982 saw
colossal effort to recruit minority
students. An "ad hoc" committee
was formed whose duties were to
locate and recruit minority
students for the 1982-83 academic
year. The committee began by
confirming the minority
applicants already accepted to
Longwood by sending to each
student personal welcome letters
from Dr. Greenwood and Edna
Allen-Bledsoe, Minority Affairs
Coordinator. In addition, Ms.
Allen-Bledsoe and Delores Scott,
a new minority Admission
Counselor, made a personal
phone call to each student.
Other plans of action include
location of additional applicants
through review of applications on
file, the contacting of local
schools, and the reviewing of the
available lists of high school
graduates from the past three or
four years eligible for admission
to Longwood.
Just as tremendous effort has
been made to recruit the minority
to Longwood, that much more
effort has been made to keep the
students here. "The quality of
black life has to improve at
Longwood," says Ms. Allen
Bledsoe. "The minority student
needs to see evidences of a
college environment that is
culturally and socially enriched
enough to fit his-her needs."
Efforts to retain minority
students include the emphasis of
black organizations on campus.
The Afro-American Student
Alliance and the Basic Gospel
Choir are such organizations. In
addition, there are two black
Greek organizations on campus;

As predicted, the Spanish
Socialist Workers Party had a
field day in the country's recent
National elections gaining 201 of
the parliament's 350 seats for a
clear majority and making
Felipe Gonzalez Marques Spain's
new prime minister. Spain's
army did not, as feared, retaliate
with a military coup, stating that
they would support whatever
party comes out on top. The
victory marks Socialism's
reemergance as a political power
after they were ousted in Spain's
civil war 47 years ago.
The conservative opposition
now comes from the second most
successful party, the Alianzo
Popularist's, led by Manuel
Fragot Irisbasne. And if the
socialists fail to succeed in
solving Spain's many problems,
highlighted by 16 percent
unemployment and 12 percent
inflation and a still very touchy
governmental structure, the
Alianzo 's will probably win the
majority in the next elections two
years away.
The Socialist's goals are not
going to take quite as abrupt a
turn from former policy as one
would expect, mainly due to the
fact that there is very little
manuevering room in the
economic crisis and they want to
please as many people as
possible, socialist or not. The only
industry that will be nationalized
is electronics and the only real
touchy issues are the proposals to
legalize abortion and withdraw
Spain from the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
The National Conference of
Catholic Bishops, the ruling body
.«J* By MIKE LYNCH
of this country's 51 million
Catholics, recently drafted a
pastoral letter condemning
American and NATO strategies
of deploying nuclear arms,
should the Soviet Union invade
Western Europe by conventional
methods. Putting themselves in
direct conflict with government
directives, the architects of the
letter stated that "We do not
perceive any situation in which
the deliberate initiation of
nuclear warfare, on however
restricted a scale, can be morally
justified."
The letter is not intended as a
strict directive to the country's
Catholics but rather as a
guideline should decisions in that
area need to be made. For
antinuclear activists, the letter
could not have come at a better
time as general elections were
upon the public and the fact that
the letter would have influence on
the races was undeniable
although the Catholic hierarchy
has publicly denied that this was
their intent. Government
reaction to the letter consisted of
the statement that we need the
nuclear strategy mainly as a
threat to the Russians to stay put
and also as a counter balance to
the fact that the Russians enjoy a
2.6 to 1 advantage in conventional
firepower. The Catholic
response: "We have judged
inunoral even the threat to use
nuclear weapons."
A scuffle between local police
of Miracle Valley Arizona 100
miles south of Tuscon, and
members of the Qirist Miracle
Healing Center and Church, an
all-black religious group
originally from Chicago, resulted
in two deaths and two police
officers wounded. Augusta Tate
and William Thomas, Jr., both of
the church, died in the altercation
which was ignited when police
tried to issue warrants to two of
the church members for failure
to answer traffic violations

attacked the two officers who
proceeded to call for a back up.
Nine police cars responded and
around 100 church members were
out to greet them with any kind of
weapon they could find.
The police fired no shots,
although they were clearly out-
numbered until two of them were
hit by shotgun fire whereupon
they started shooting back while
retreating. After the fight, ten
members of the church were
arrested which probably did not
upset them too much since

commonplace ever since they
arrived. Claiming that the
townspeople were not exactly
being nice to them, the
congregation started patrolling
their own streets with the
intention of keeping everybody
else out. They filed civil rights
suits against the local
authorities, even though the rest
of the black townspeople got
along fine with the whites, and
once ran the police out of their
neighborhood at gunpoint.
In the face of these charges and
many others against them, the
church members refuse to leave
insisting that they are simply
living a life of total holiness
according to the Bible. No one
else seems to agree.
The winner of the Longwood
College Art Department's Artist
of the Month Award for October
is Kathryn DeHaven for her silk-
screen print, "Adventures in
Print."
Miss HeHaven was bom in 1962
in Dayton, Ohio. As her father
was an Army officer, she and her
family have traveled extensively.
She feels fortunate in having
lived in Africa and Germany and
in having had the opportunity to
see the famous works of art
which surrounded her. After four
years in Germany, Kathryn and
her family returned to the United
States to reside in Newport
Virginia, where she graduated
from Menchville High School in
1980. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
T.R. DeHaven, now live in Dale
City.
Kathryn was uncertain of her
major when she came to
Longwood her freshman year.

Flight Service Lands
In Farmville
ByGEREELYELL
"Theoretically, it's a profit
operation, but its my hobby too."
This is what Fred Hanbury,
manager of the Citizen's Savings
and Loan in Farmville had to say
about his new business, a
chartered flight service and
flight school. Mr. Hanbury, a
certified flight instructor for Air
Virginia in Lynchburg, is
offering, to both the Farmville
community and the college
students, services in the areas of
in-flight air training, ground
school, and chartered air flights.
In addition to being a flight
instructor, Mr. Hanbury is also a
commercial pilot with 480 flight
hours logged. He received his
commercial and instrument
ratings at Flight Safety in Vero
Beach, Fla., and his instructor-
rating at Air Virginia m
Lynchburg. For his fUghts, he
uses either a Cessna 172 or Piper
Arrow plane, both standards of
the small plane type. "The
Cessna plane i.s owned by Air
Virginia and the Piper is my
own," said Hanbury. "Both are
heavily insured with personal
liability in the millions. Both are
very safe planes, very standard
in chartered flights." Hanbury
hopes to build up the service of
the remodeled Farmville airport,
which is now owned by the town.
When asked about the expense
of flying, Hanbury replied, "I
don't charge for my time, just for
the expense of the equipment and
gasoline. I'm trying to build up
the service, and that's where all
the profit is going." Basically, a
chartered flight costs about $50
an hour for 1-3 persons. What that
means is that three people could
split the cost and fly for the same
price as one person. The
distance of a one hour flight is
approximately from Farmville to
Washington D.C. "I'll fly people
pretty much anywhere as long as
there is an airport nearby," said
Hanbury. He has recently flowu
people to the Worlds Fair and
Florida but hadn't had any offers
however, she knew exactly what
her interest was: the field of
art. She is presently a Junior Art
Major, working towards a B.F.A.
degree in Crafts. She plans to use
her artistic ability to fulfill her
goals in the future. She enjoys
designing and building toys for
children, and hopes some day she
will be able to sell her work in a
small store of her own.
Second place in the studio
competition went to Rebecca
Silberman, a Freshman Art
Major from Leesburg, and third
Place to Wanda Lloyd, a Senior
Art Major from Blackstone.
The Artist-of-the-Month
Contest is a monthly competition
open to all students enrolled in
Art classes at Longwood. The
award carries a $50 cash prize
and the winning works are
displayed in the Bedford Art
Building at the College. The
competition is now in its third
successful year.

from Longwood students yet.
Hanbury is also offering flight
instruction, both ground school
and in-flight. Ground school costs
$100 per person for 35 hours of
instruction. Upon completion, the
student should be ready for the
F.A.A. Private Pilot Written
Test. In-flight hours cost $42 for
solo and $52 with an instructor.
Forty hours are needed to
complete the requirements for a
private pilot's license. "I offer
instruction ranging from private
to commercial," commented
Hanbury. "The flight school will
be held at the Farmville
Airport."
When asked why he began his
new business, Hanbury replied,
"I wanted to offer a reasonably
modern flight service to
Farmville and in the process,
profit by gaining more flight time
for myself." If interested in a
chartered flight or flight school
training, Mr. Hanbury- can be
reached at 392-3147 during the
day or 392-3614 in the evening.
Minority Students
(Continued from Page 1)
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
Efforts are being made to insure
the presence of other black Greek
organizations in the near future.
The newly dedicated N.P. Miller
Room in Curry Dormitory is
designated as a meeting place for
minority students, where they
can study, hold A.A.S.A.
meetings, talk, or just relax. A bi-
annual newsletter entitled "The
Summit", has also begun
publication as of Fall, 1982. This
newsletter is geared towards
minority students, with hopes
that they will actively participate
in its publication.
Development of a Minority
Studies Program at Longwood is
currently taking place. The
Social Work Department will act
as co-ordinator of the curricula
and have committed themselves
to the locating of a study area.
Another approach to the
retention of minority students is
the visibility of minority faculty
and staff on Longwood 's campus.
The implementation of a Faculty
Exchange Program is highly
possible in the near future. Under
this program faculty from
Norfolk and Virginia State
Universities would come to
Longwood to teach in substitution
for Longwood faculty members
sent to teach at these
predominately black institutions.
The United States Department
of Education is currently
reviewing a revised Virginia
Plan submitted by John Casteen
several weeks ago. According to
Gary Groneweg, Director of
Admissions, ther '-?hnically no
longer exists a vi.'ginia Plan.
"Longwood has made a conscious
commitment to insure the
enrollment of minority students
and we will continue to do so,
Virginia Plan or not."

THE ROTUNDA
Pages
Normally, considering the'
events of the previous week and
the passing of liquor by the drink
for Farmville and Prince
Edward County on November 2,
alcoholism should have been the
subject of any editorial
commentary. A short paragraph
or two describing the advantages
of pina coladas over lobster
newburg or the disgracefulness
of running 70 down route 15, one
six pack per mile. However, a
major event has anticipated this
writing and caused me to
reconsider the subject for my
editorial. In a way (a strange
way) the new subject is anal-
ogous to alcoholism. It has
a corruptible influence on youth
and spreads like that liquid fire
through the system. It destroys
judgment and general mental
capabilities (particularly
siphoning visceral material from
fact) and finally it disables —
leaving the victim a raw mass of
paranoid nerve endings. Simply
put, it's a cold war.
About a week and a half ago in
the Frazer TV room, Dr. Crowl
and Dr. Helms both of the
Longwood history department
debated certain U.S. foreign
policy moves. A more or less
rhetorical question was thrown
out to the student audience:
"Would the Soviet Union ever
attempt a nuclear weapon first
strike aimed at the U.S.?" The
answer — wide-eyed head nods
and a growing consensus — Yes.
Yes? Rather a shocker to anyone
who has faith in the basic
intelligence of college students.
The right answer is, of course, no.
To paraphrase Mr. Weinberger, a
USSR first strike is not really a
possibility because the U.S. or
NATO would actually be the first
potential users of nuclear
weaponry due to a possible Soviet
conventional attack. Simple;
engraved in our foreign policy,
but the students still said Yes.
I write this with no real hopes
of a change in student opinion,
because one finds that the basis
for most decisions made by
students and others (from Dr.
Helms to President Reagan) is a
knee jerk ideology with its roots
in fear (the roots of conservatism
in general) — a delusion
propagated by Reagan's
steadfast refusal to talk detente
and k a consequential cold war
mentality which forms a window
of crisis for U. S. perspective. We
must have a stronger defense, at
all cost. To hell with education;
buy a tank, the pinkos are
TukN
coming, the pinkos are coming.
The poor will always be with us,
get a missile, the reds are
coming, the reds are coming. And
students not unsurprisingly
sacrifice — for they have the
choice, this is a democracy —
financial aid for education in
order to keep a strong defense.
After all, the Apaches are at the
gate and one must man his post.
This is no time for luxuries,
tighten the belts while the
military industrial complex feeds
on the fat.
"Isn't it nationalistic fervor by
any other name?' No, instead of
nationalism (which is not
synonymous with patriotism or
good) the cold war has in effect
given the Russians the major
voice in determining what
proportion of our budget goes to
the military and subsequently
what amount is not made
available for domestic, social,
and economic projects — those
internal 'luxuries.' As David
Riesman said in Abundance for
What? the cold war "is a
distraction from serious thought
about man's condition."
The most serious consequence
of cold war mentality is not the
blind offerings to a thanatic
industry (paying one's weight in
warheads) but rather an attitude
of expectancy.
As Professor Allport wrote "The
indispensable condition of war is
that people must e^)ect war and
must prepare for war . . . before
they make war." Like a self-
fulfilling prophecy, war becomes
a reality largely because it is
expected to be a reality.
George Orwell authored a
novel that related a future world
in which superpowers were
constantly battling, draining
domestic capital and creating a
stark environment for those in or
not in the elite party. Most critics
took it as a futuristic viewDf 'Big
Brother' communism. Perhaps a
second interpretation may be
devised by applying it to
conditions in the U. S. Not now
surely, such an application at this
time would be hyperbolic.
However, in a couple of years,
would a constant state of crisis
have dilapidated internal
resources sufficiently to draw a
distinct parallel between a gin
soaked proles world and our
own?
An absurd scenario, perhaps.
One which will hopefully be
proved wrong. But for now, the
important thing is to realize
where we're heading and to stop
it.

was working she would drink two
6-packs and take eight
tranquilizers a day. And all the
while she didn't realize what she
was doing to herself.
She took classes at John Tyler
Community (Allege and became
a part of the concerned persons
program. It is a program
designed to help members
understand alcoholism and
provides the concepts of
responsible drinking.
1) Drinking is not essential you
have a choice.
2) Maturity is not a factor.
3) Controlled drinking depends
on society.
4) Drinking is an illness and
must be treated as such.
On Wednesday afternoon there
was a MADD-SADD workshop.
Pam Quillian spoke of the SADD
(Students Against Drunk
Drivers) group she started in
March of 1981 in Chesterfield.
She helped to give guidelines to
those present who may want to
start their own SADD group. She
started her group to prevent
drunk driving rather than the
result of an accident or
experience. At present there are
10 members. This number is
expected to increase after
December.
On Thursday night, Kenn
Tunnell made his presentation.
His speech was different in that
another life other than his own
was involved.
On his way home from his girl
friend's house, after a New
Year's Eve party on January,
1982, his car crossed three feet
over the double yeliow line and
hit a V.W. bug, killing the young
girl inside.
From there he stressed the fact
that he was not confessing to the
audience. He was merely trying
to help the audience by telling his
story.
During the time of the accident
he considered himself a weekend
alcoholic. He was very
immature. "Ask anyone in my
class and they'll tell you I was an
11-year-old wearing the shoes of a
17-year-old." He said that he had
spiritually matured greatly both
mentally and since the accident.
"After the accident it seems
everywhere I turn there is a
Christian."
Realizing that his speech would
get lost in the shuffle of parties
over the weekend he tried to
prolong the effect by challenging
the audience.
"I'm sure that everyone here
has or will experience alcohol,
and judging by the size of this
crowd quite a few of you drink.
Just ask yourself this: Could I go
just one month without drinking?
If you cannot pass this simple test
you are an alcohoUc or on the
road to it.

Damage Deposits Raise Questions
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
Once again, students are
distrustful and objecting to yet
another brainchild of the new
Longwood administration. As
tuition, room and board creep up
dollar by dollar each year,
living expenses leave students a
bit strapped for funds and more
critical of the way their monies
are being spent.
Recently students were
informed that effective January -
1983, a $100 damage deposit
would be collected of each
dormitory student. The $100
would be kept for the entire time
a student resides at Longwood,
and returned to the student, in
full, providing no damage or
vandalism expenses were
assessed to the student's account.
Students are questioning the -
administration's proposed use of
the collected deposits, and more
importantly the use of the
interest accrued on the sum of the
deposits.
The administration seems
eager to clear up the confusion,
answer the questions and dispel
the skeptic mistrust over the
newfangled damage deposit.
Phyllis Mable, vice president for
Student Affairs, outlined the two
primary functions of the deposit.
First, the deposits collected will
insure that there is money on
hand, upfront, to pay for
damages done to the dormitory
rooms by students. According to
Ms. Mable, "The conditions here
at Longwood are horrible —
they're getting better but the
complaints from parents and
board members are horrendous
because of the damages." Ms.
Mable believes student damages
and vandali,sm are increasing.
There seems to be discrepancy
among the reports regarding the
increase of vandalism. In a
newsletter that was sent home to
parents informing them of the
damage deposit. Tom Nanzig
Director of Housing, explained
that the "total damages to
residence halls, including
vandalism, was approximately
$600 per month, between January
and April of this year." Roy Hill,
Director of the Physical Plant,
said that they spent $10-12,000 in
repairs of damages between
January and April. "We've seen
a great improvement in the
decrease of damages. There's a
very little bit of vandalism, which
pleases us because it gives us a
chance to do regular
maintenance."
Because of the believed
increase in student vandalism
and damages, Ms. Mable says the
deposit is secondly to provide
incentive for students in hopes to
discourage damages. If damage
is done in a suite or on a hall even,
and the blame cannot be
assessed, all the students in the
suite or on the hall will be held
dorm students at Longwood and
in January $200,000 will be
collected as damage deposits and
deposited in local banks at the
highest possible rates of return
interest, according to Betty
Kidder, of Longwood's Business
Office. An investment of $20,000
in a local bank can draw up to 9
per cent interest annuallv. With
the returns on the investment
amounting to nearly $20,000,
students have questioned the
proposed use of the interes.
"Let's face it, $20,000 isn't a lot of
money," according to Ms. Mable.
She says that the "interest will
basically be used to administer
the program." Would it really
cost $20,000 a year to administer
the damage deposit program?
"No. Well, Maybe." The money

responsible and billed
respectively. Ms. Mable feels
that this shared liability will
"cause students to figure out who
did do it (damages). When
students have to be responsible
for their own actions, they don't
want to be responsible for anyone
elses."
There are approximately 2,000

could. But we're not going
to... there's no plan to do that.
There've been questions and
there's no problem with the
legality of not returning that
interest.
Joan Murphy, Assistant
Attorney General of Virginia was
contacted about the deposit and
the question of returning interest.
She cited a similar case in
Illinois, but emphasized that
left over from the administrative
costs will be funnelled back into
the program to improve the
conditions of the dormitories.
When asked if it had been
considered to return the interest
to the students on their $100
investment, Ms. Mable
defensively replied, "I guess we
interest tied up into the program.
They, too, found no direct statute
to govern their application of the
interest accrued.
In the past, damage fees were
collected as the damages
occurred from the student! s)
responsible. Apparently there
was a problem with this system
or as Ms. Mable put it, "I don't
think we did it very well."
Although, damages should be

there was no ruling on the
situation as of yet in Virginia. In
order to get a ruling, students or
parents would have to request it
from their Senators, thereby
reaching the courts for a direct
specific ruling to be handed
down. Recently, Virginia State
University implemented the
same program. According to Dr.
John McClusky, Executive Vice
President of Va. State, there
were questions among their
administration as to the legal
implications of keeping the
paid for by students responsible
and not those who aren't there
are still some unanswered
questions and little justification
for the $100 damage deposit. But,
according to Ms. Mable, "You're
going to pay for it one way or
another."

VCV "Sigmas
Block Show
•>•>
By DORA ANN DANIEL
Saturday, October 30, was a
fair, mild night, the perfect
weather for the clusters of people
standing outside the
Commonwealth Room restless,
waiting for the show to begin.
However, the show couldn't begin
without the main attraction: the
brothers of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity Incorporated from
Virginia Commonwealth
University. This black Greek
organization was invited to
Longwood College by the Afro-
American Student Alliance to
perform a block show.
"Blocking," a social ritual
characteristic of the eight
existing national black Greek
organizations, consists of a series
of synchronized dance steps and
chants with a variety of head,
arm, and hand movements
incorporated mto the routine.
The Sigmas, scheduled to
perform at 8:00 p.m. didn't arrive
until 9:30 p.m., finding many of
their audience perturbed and
impatient, or simply gone.
Nonetheless, with their fraternity
sweethearts cheering them on,
they gave an impressive
performance, evoking a healthy
round of applause from the
remainder of the audience, along
with some cheers, whistles, and
standing ovations.
A dance followed the show,
giving the visiting fraternity an
opportunity to mingle with
Longwood students. The affair
ended at 2:00 a.m. with the
students reluctant to see their
visitors leave. There were
several goodbyes and invitations
to return with the Sigmas
extending an invitation to the
students to attend their next
performance at VCU on
December 3, 1982.

THE ROTUNDA
Pages
ByUZD'SURNEY
It was just after 12:00 Friday
afternoon when we pulled off the
road and stopped the car on the
shoulder of Rt. 460 West, just
outside of Farmville. The four of
us jumped out of the white Ford
Escort, loaded down with
suitcases, cameras and 2 grocery
bags full of junk food, and wildly
began scribbling the words
"KNOXVILLE OR BUST -
WORLD'S FAIR" on the rear
window in thick heavy lines of
ivory soap.
Seven and a half hours later we
pulled into the driveway of Three
Chimneys of Knoxville, our place
of residence for the weekend. At
10:00 p.m. we were sitting on the
porch of the second floor
watching the daily fireworks of
the World's Fair.
Early Saturday morning, we
headed out, a ticket in hand, to
attend the fair. We entered the
gates, gazing at the enormous
pavilions, confused as to which
direction to follow first. Finally,
we found ourselves headed
toward Australia.
ENERGY ENERGY boomed
the voice as we entered the
building. We stopped to watch
cartoons on conserving Petrol.
ENERGY ENERGY rang the
voice as we fell in step with the
crowd and wandered past the
exhibits of windmills and new
machinery. ENERGY ENERGY
echoed in our minds as we
stepped out into the sun and
proceeded to the Federal
Express show. Little did we know
ENERGY was to haunt us
continually for the next two days.
The expansion of technology
and our ever changing society
were pointed out through the
Federal express show. Numerous
screens, each showing a different
picture changed every few
seconds to show new products on
the market. A family was
portrayed as being lost and
caught up in the whirlwind of
technological advancement and
seeking ways to deal with these
new ideas.
Exiting the Express theatre,
we strolled through the fair
observing the sights and people.
We soon found ourselves standing
in line for a live performance
called Sing Tennessee. Waiting in
line we heard fireworks and
sirens ringing in the air. The 1982
World's Fair had reached its
goal, the 11 millionth person had
just walked through the gates.
Before the start of the show, the
11 millionth couple, from
Connecticut, was escorted
onto stage. One by one,
representatives greeted them
and presented them with an
elaborate gift from their country.
Among these gifts were books,
wood carvings, paper weights
and many bottles of wine. T.V.
cameramen and reporters were
scattered throughout the crowd
capturing the special moment.
Sing Tennessee was a medley
of songs which made Nashville
famous. Songs of long ago to
present day were sung and acted
out, reliving moments in history.
The talent of the performers was
rewarded by a standing ovation
from an appreciative audience.
Leaving an hour of entertainment
behind us, we moved on to
Germany. ..Italy. ..only to find
that ENERGY and its benefits to
society was still being embedded
into our minds.
We headed to the Budweiser
House. Here, it was not long
before we forgot all about energy
and technology... Eventually
leaving the Budweiser House, we
headed for Mexico, Japan, the
Phillipines... Hungary.. .In each
pavilion we walked around
observing but not absorbing all
the facts and information
presented to us.
We retraced our footsteps... to
the Budweiser House. We found
this to be the only place where we
could relax and truly "absorb"
our environment. We still had
much to see, so off we went.
Canada, Egypt, Peru, ENERGY,
ENERGY.
It was getting to be 10:00, time
for the pavilions to close. When
they did, we stationed ourselves
on a bench to watch the
fireworks. The show was
tremendous, with dozens and
dozens of fireworks darting into
the air and bursting in the night.
When the fireworks ended, we
headed to a Halloween party... at
the Budweiser House. The place
was crowded with people of all

Settini Entertains Full Crowd
By DEBBIE RIPPY
He calls himself "Tim Settini,
the Mime (me, me)." When I
first saw him, he was dressed
casual and was very relaxed and
put my nerves quickly at ease.
There was a stool in Mr. Dent's
office that Tim quickly started
studying and commented that it
might be a good addition to the
act. He then laid across it and
began humming the theme to
"Superman" while spinning on it.
He was inspired by a clown,
Jango Edwards, who about 10
years ago, cooled out about 200
bikers with his mime talents. Tim
went on to study in Boston at the
Pocket Mime Theater.
He performed street mime for
about five years. He prefers to
perform in clubs as opposed to
colleges since he gets a wider
cross section. He has realized this
in just the past year. After the
performance he stated that he
also enjoyed performing at
Longwood.
As a child, he was rather shy
since his family moved around a
lot due to his father's job and
learned to make friends easily by
displaying his drawing ability.
He was raised by strict Roman
Catholic parents and describes
himself as a 'creepy little kid.'
From this he uses one of the
grade school teachers, Sister
Rosangela, in several jokes
during the show.
He graduated from Western
Illinois University as an art
major in painting and sculpture.
At age 33 he has his own cafe
called Cafe Debris, which he
drew the blueprints for and has
completed in the past five years
when not working. He does
perform there and has sort of a
Vaudeville house. Recently he
performed with Flip, the clown
mime that was here over
Oktoberfest.
Tim considers hunself a clown.
His own definition is "a clown can
do anything at all." A clown uses
the art of mime, music, jokes,
etc. The hardest part, though, is
writing and coming up with new
ideas. He gets his ideas from
what is in front of him. Different
things around us, if looked at, are
rather funny.
Before the show, Eddie Esalto
commented on Tim's
performance. "He is one of the
most touching, yet funny
performers you will ever see at
Longwood. He doesn't look at it
like a job, rather just something
he enjoys doing."
Tim began the performance on
roller skates and had a few ad
libs with the noises coming from
Stubbs. He pulled out the stool he
was horsing around with in Mr.
Dent's office and repeated some
of the same antics.
After removing the skates, he
talks about graffiti and described
it as the "bumper stickers for the
toilet." Then on to bathroom
pranks of which he learned some
from his three younger sisters.
He demonstrated the many
uses of a flute and then suggested
a sing-a-long when he played the
guitar. Everyone was interested
in this possibility when he quickly
shouted, "I hate insincere
enthusiasm!"
The serious part of the show
included two very artistic skits.
The first was "The Heart Takes
the Stage" in which a janitor
cleaning up after the show in one
of the dressing rooms, believes he
is the star. However, reality
returns.
"The life cycle" was very
moving. You see how quickly one
goes through the many stages of
life and how soon it is over. At
first, everyone is still while
watching the new infant, then
giggle as he is a small child and
near tears when he is old.
He ends by telling us he is our
'crazy man,' our 'exception.' If
nothing else he has proved that.
Three handmade paper and
fiber collage works by Barbara
Bishop were included in the ART-
PAPER exhibit at the F & M
Gallery in Richmond during the
month of October.
The exhibit was sponsored by
the Hand Workshop, Inc., with
support from F & M National
Bank.
Ten Virginia artists who utilize
handmade paper in their work
were represented in the exhibit.
They are: Nancy Dahlstrom,
HolUns; Laura Pharis, Carolyn
Ferrell, Nancy David, and Dale
Keator, all of Richmond;
Rebecca Humphrey and Barbara
Fast, of Harrisonburg; Liz
Kregloe, Staunton; WiUiam F.
Harmon, Bon Air; and Ms.
Bishop, who is chairman of the
art department at Longwood
College.
These artist practice the
ancient craft of papermaking, a
process which has not changed
since the Chinese Ts'ai Lun first
formed paper from mulberry
trees in 195 A.D., because it offers
"a variety of aesthetic qualities,"
"much flexibility for color,
texture, and form," and is "a
very exciting and unpredictable
process."
Ms. Bishop's works in the exh-
ibit were Earth Shield — Three
and Four, and Measure of the
Land, Two.

Lancers Win Visa Semifinals
By HOKE CURRIE
and BECKY DUNK
Longwood's hard-charging
soccer team took a giant step
toward a state title Sunday
afternoon as the Lancers
defeated Roanoke 4-2 in the
Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer
Association state semifinals.
Now 14-3-1, Longwood will host
the winner of Wednesday's
semifinal battle between
Lynchburg and Virginia
Wesleyan in the state title game
Saturday afternoon at 2:00 on
First Ave. Field. Longwood
closes out its regular season
Wednesday afternoon with a
contest at William & Mary
beginning at 2:30.
While the Lancers got good
news on the field Sunday, there
was some disappointing off-the-
field news. Longwood will
apparently not receive a bid to
the NCAA Div. II Playoffs despite
having one of the best records in
the nation. The South Region
selection committee ranked three
Florida teams above the
Lancers.
"We're disappointed," said
Coach Rich Posipanko, "but not
too surprised. I had heard earlier
in the day (Sunday) that our
chances looked pretty good if we
beat Roanoke, but it didn't work
out that way. Two members of
the selection committee are from
Florida and they feel that
Taripa, Central Florida and
Florida International are
stronger than us."
Only 12 teams are selected for
the Division II Playoffs
nationwide.
In Sunday's VISA state
semifinal game against Roanoke,
Longwood scored first with only
nine minutes gone in the game
and held the lead throughout the
rest of the match.
Senior Gus Leal and junior Tim
Brennan led the Lancer offense
by scoring two goals apiece. Leal
now has a total of 51 career goals
(a school record) and Brennan
has 32 total points.
Goalie Brian Sprinkle played a
good game, stopping many
Roanoke shots.
In regular season play last
week, Longwood beat rival
Hampden-Sydney 5-2. in the
Farmville Herald Challenge Cup
TheLancers hd at the half by just
one goal, but went on to score two
more in the second half for the
victory.
High scorer for the game was
Leal with his third two-goal game
of the season. The other three
Lancer goals were scored by
Steve Kern, Dan Bubnis, and Tim
Brennan. Kern and Brian
Allmendinger each had one assist
in the game.

but falling to the Blue Tide 10-15,

Elizabeth City.
Earlier in the week (Monday)
the Lady Lancers fell to Eastern
Mennonite 15-12, 15-13 and
Liberty Baptist 15-9, 15-7.
Coach Joyce Phillips praised
co-captains Kathy Gunning and
Elaine Olay and freshman Karen
Moye for their play in Thursday's
twin bill.
"Moye did a good job at the net
and Gunning and Olay played
well overall," said the coach.
"Gunning was a real motivator
for the team in Thursday's
action. She keeps talking and
helps keep the team fired up."
Player of the Week
From Sports Information
Senior back Mike McGeehan,
who stepped in for the injured Joe
Parker and helped Longwood's
soccer team reel off three wins in
a row, has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for |
the period October 29 to
November 5. Player of the Week

McGeehan, in his fourth year
on the Lancer squad, led the way
on defense from his center-
fullback post as Longwood beat
Mount St. Mary's 5-2, Radford 2-0
and Hampden-Sydney 5-2 Friday.
The win over The Mount and
Radford (October 30-31) gave
Longwood the title in the Mid-
Atlantic Div. II Classic.
"Mike did a great job filling in
for Parker," said Coach Rich
Posipanko. "He provided us with
leadership as well as outstanding
play. His play helped us give up
just four goals in those three
games."

Tennis Player Angie Coppedge
ISumher One On The Team And A Grandmother Too
By BECKY DUNK
Angie Coppedge is the number
one player on Longwood's
women's tennis team. She also
happens to be a grandmother.
"When the other girls on the
team talk about their moms and
dads coming to the matches, I
talk about my husband and kids
coming to watch," says Angie.
A Farmville resident and
senior at Longwood, Angie is
married (her husband is a doctor
in Farmville), has several
children and just recently
became a grandmother. This fall
she tried out for the Longwood
women's tennis team. Not only
did she make the team, she's the
number one player in singles and
teams with Lisa Barnes of Suffolk
at number one doubles.

apparel and racquet in hand,

Longwood's field hockey team
ended its season Wednesday with
a 2-1 win over Division I VCU.
The Lady Lancers upped its
record to 8-7 overall and 2-0 in
Division II play.
Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the
Lady Lancers rallied to score two
points in the second half to defeat
the Lady Rams. Senior forward
Chris Mayer scored the tying
goal at 5 : 34 into the second period
and freshman Susan Groff scored
the winning point with 9%
minutes left in play. Groff and
B.J. Casey each picked up an
assist, while goalie Lorrie Garber
had seven saves.
* "Chris has been
a leader this year as a co-
captain," said Coach Bette
Harris. "She demonstrated her
leadership quality in the VCU
game by playing assertively to
score the tying goal which helped
the other players get motivated
to play better."
The Lady Stickers, which
boasts one of the toughest
schedules of Longwood athletic
teams, played nine Division I
schools Uiis season. Their season
was highlighted by wins over
Division I Richmond (1-0),
Davidson (4-3) and VCU (2-1) and
Division II Randolph-Macon (6-0)
and Radford (4^). Longwood
competes in NCAA Division II.
Groff led the Lady Lancers in
scoring this season with seven
goals, followed by Pam Esworthy
with five and Mayer with four.
Garber headed up the defense,
averaging over six saves per
game while allowing only 1.8
goals per contest. The senior
goalkeeper had six shutouts this
season. KMS
Angie explains why she tried out
for Longwood's tennis team: "All
of my friends had become too
busy to play, so I decided to look
elsewhere for tennis partners. I
wasn't sure I could make the
team, but it was my only shot.
This is my last year ... I knew I
couldn't do it (play on the team)
any more after this."
An avid tennis player for the
past 10 years, Angie had earned a
reputation as one of the top
women netters in the area, but
she played mostly "social tennis"
before this fall. "I didn't play
tennis in high school l)ecause
women didn't compete as much
back then," she says. "If I had
been given a chance, though, I
think I could have been a
superstar."
Angie says that when she hit
the court for the very first match,
"I asked myself, 'What am I
doing here?" It took me a while to
settle down and get over the
nervousness."
A large part of Angle's
nervousness stenuned from the
fact that she is older than her
opponents. "I overcame my
uneasiness by reminding myself
that everyone's equal on the
court," she says. "Age isn't a
factor in winning a match. It just
depends on who plays the best."
"When I first made the team,"
says Angie, "I worried that the
other girls wouldn't accept me
because I'm older and play in the
number one spot. They accept
and support me as much as they
do each other, though. The girls
have really been great. We're all
in it together."
The women's tennis team
recently completed their season.
Angie finished with a record of 3-7
in singles and 6-3 in doubles. She
lost three three-set singles
matches after winning the first
set. Angie won't be able to play
spring tennis because she will be

out student teaching.
According to Coach Beatrice
White, "Angie has been a
pleasure to work with. She is a
motivational source for older
women ... I really admire her
courage."
Angle's courage, combined
with a love for the game and the
desire to win, add to her
effectiveness as a player. "I'm a
big competitor," she says. "I love
to win. But I have to be patient
and consistent. What probably
helps me the most is that I hang
in there. If I fall behind, I simply
try to make it up on the next
volley."
"My tennis game is
contradictory to my nature,"
Angie says. "On the court I'm
calm and patient. Off the court I i
always have to be doing
something ... I can't sit still!"
This need for something to do,
the overabundance of energy
which Angie possesses,
compelled her to return to school
several years ago. "My kids are
grown and my husband works all
day," she says, "so I decided to
come back to school. There was
no point in just sitting around
doing nothing."

Lady Cagers Seek To Improve Offense
From Sports Information
Last year in a season which
produced an 8-15 record, the Lady
Lancer basketball team was
known for its defensive abilities.
Coach Jane Miller believes her
team must make strides in
realizing its offensive potential in
order to make the 1982-83 season
a success.
Longwood limited foes to 63.9
points a game and held the
opposition below 70 points in 17 of
23 contests. Trouble was, the
Lady Lancers scored but 56.5
points themselves and poor
shooting was a big part of the
problem. Miller feels her club is
ready to score more points and
bag more wins in the coming
season.
"We've been developing a
strong defensive team," said
Miller. "This year we need to
improve our offensive output. We
should get more scoring from our
guards this year and I feel we
have a group that can put
together a winning season."
Four starters and a total of
seven players return from last
season. All-VAIAW Division II
forward Florence Holmes heads
the returning group. The 5-9
sophomore averaged 13.3 points
and 9.7 rebounds last season.
Senior Cindy Eckel returns for
her fourth season after averaging
just under 10 points and 5.3
rebounds.
Other returning starters are
senior center Barbara DeGraff
and junior point guard Robin
Powell. DeGraff averaged nearly
six rebounds and Powell handed
out 65 assists in '81-'82. Top
reserves Valerie Turner,
Mariana Johnson and Karen
Savarese played key roles off the
bench last season.
Miller sees maturity as another
positive factor working for
Longwood this year. Assistant
Coach Nanette Fisher notes that
the Lady Lancers weren't very
selective in their shooting last
season. "It's a matter of
maturing or learning to take good
shots," said Fisher. "I think our
veteran players will be more
selective in their shooting."

Grapplers
By RONNIE BROWN
The 1982-83 edition of Longwood
wrestling will be the most
talented squad since wrestling
became an intercollegiate sport
in 1978, but the Lancers will again
be confronted with a tough
schedule.
"We have more depth and
talent than last season, but our
schedule includes seven dual
meets with Division I teams,"
said third year coach Steve
Nelson. "Obviously, we would
like to have a winning season, but
our main objective is to be
competitive."
The grapplers will begin the
season at the ODU Tournament
in Norfolk Friday and Saturday.
Nelson will take eleven of his
wrestlers to the tourney that
boasts the best wrestlers from
the southeast. In last year's
tournament, there were nine Ail-
Americans and three national
champions in Division I. The
competition will be on an
individual basis. The Lancers
will return home Wednesday with
a match against VMI and
Newport News Apprentice in
Lancer Hall at 7:00 (November
17).
Longwood has 10 returnees
from last year's 9-9 squad. Senior
Joe Bass, a 177 pounder brings
the most experience to the
Lancer squad and compiled a 17-8
record last season. David Dodd, a
junior 150-158 pounder, was 5-2-1 -
last year while competing in only
a portion of the season because of
an injury. Soph Steve Albeck, the
1981-62 wrestling MVP who com-
piled a 21-12 record, returns along
with sophomores Charles
Campbell, a 150 pounder, Mike
Hackett, a 126 pounder, and Dana
Dunlap, a 167 pounder. Campbell,
Hackett and Dunlap wrestled to
records of 12-12, 15-«, and 16-11-1
respectively in last year's
campaign. Other returnees
include junior Mike O'Hare, a 177
pounder, sophomores Carl Bird,
a 158 pounder, Mark Casstevens,
a 190 pounder, and Bob Clark, a
150 pounder.
This year's returnees will be
joined by a talented group of
newcomers. Included in this
year's freshman class are Steve
Kid well, a 126 pounder and a
Maryland State Champion, Terry
Hale, a 134 pounder and Virginia
State Champion, and Jim

Rugby
By MKE LYNCH
In a match that was more
exciting than the 10-3 score would
indicate, the Longwood College
Rugby Football Club was
defeated by the Richmond Rats,
a non-college club, quite older
and more skilled than Longwood.
The main attributes of the Rats
were a scrum slightly superior to
Longwood's, which is rare among
most Longwood opponents, and
two native New Zealanders in the
backfield. Anyone who doubts
their ability to play the game
should refer to the fact that New
Zealand regularly sends teams to
this country that clobber anyone
dumb enough to play them.
Richmond clearly controlled
the early moments of the contest,
but blew three straight field goal
attempts while Longwood got a 20
yard field goal from Chris
Conners its first time within
range. Richmond finally got a
field goal shortly afterward to tie
the score at 3-3. But for much of
the rest of the half, Longwood
was the aggressor although
Richmond did break through for
a try off of a line-in, fairly late in
the half, to go up 7-3.
The closest Longwood came to
getting a try was when
successive attempts to simply
pass the ball off from a penalty
kick to Phil Jameson,
Longwood's rendition of a human
wrecking ball, going at full tilt.
Plowing in from less than five
yards out, Jameson got over the
end line once but the play was
called back due to a penalty on
the hand off. The half ended with
Richmond threatening but unable
to score 7-3.
The only score of the second
half was a sole Richmond field
goal although they attempted
many times. Semi-sorry tackling
on Longwood's part and solid
running on Richmond's resulted
in the Rats' dominating the
second half, allowing Longwood
only one field goal attempt, which
they missed. The game ended at
10-3 although if it were not for
solid efforts by many Longwood
players, the score would have
been much worse, for Richmond
clearly had the skill and
experience advantage.
her starting lineup.
"We have a lot of talented
players who will see action," said
the coach. "All 12 will contribute
in one way or another.
"I feel optimistic about this
year," she continued. "I think
both the players and coaches
learned a tremendous amount
last season. We're going to be
realistic about our goals and put
out maximum effort. Maximum
Effort! That's our slogan for the
year."
Gymnastics
From Sports Information
The Longwood gymnastics
team will put on an exhibition of
its talent in floor exercise, bars,
beam and vaulting Tuesday night
at 8:00 in Lancer Hall. The pre-
season performance is open to
the public at no charge.
The Longwood gymnasts, who
for the past four years have sent
one or more competitors to the
Division II nationals, won't
actually begin their competitive
season until January 14 when
they visit Western Carolina.
Coach Ruth Budd has scheduled
Tuesday's exhibition and an
inter-squad meet November 22 at
7:30 to give her team the
opportunity to perform before a
crowd.
"We have several gymnasts
injured right now," said Budd,
"so, from that standpoint maybe
it's just as well we don't open the
season until January. We have a
lot of talent on this year's squad. I
feel we can have another strong
team."
Budd has seven gymnasts back
from last year's squad with two
who qualified for nationals.
Sophomores Dayna Hankinson,
an Ail-American in floor exercise
and Kelly Crepps, Longwood's
top all-around performer at
nationals, lead the group of
returnees. Also back from last
season are junior Sherri Meeks
and sophomores Elsa Kretz, Kim
Owens, Angle Smith and Gray
Stabley.
Seven promising freshmen are
also members of the Longwood
team. The newcomers are Lisa
Zuraw, Tracey Roberts, Judy
Wagner, Allison Berry, Kim

Gorillas, dogs, devils, and the
Jolly Green Giant paraded up on
stage, but the winner was a guy
dressed as the Earth Sphere, the
tower at the fair.
Sunday soon rolled around, the
closing day of the World's Fair.
Every booth set up was having
fantastic sales, buy one get one
free. ^ price, 3 for 1, and the
souvenirs were being bought by
the many tourists. Any item
imaginable was marked with
"World's Fair" and had a price
tag on it.
The crowd was not as heavy as
we expected it to be. We saw
everything we hadn't seen the
day before, China, Korea, the
U.S., the rides and many other
pavilions of various topics,
ENERGY being the main
concern.
All too soon it was time to go.
Our high expectations of the
Worlds Fair were returning home
with us, unfulfilled. Reflecting on
our weekend, the high and low
points, we found that we
consumed a lot of Budweiser, but
were all out of Energy.

newcomer is junior Craig Diffe, a
158 pounder and two time
Regional place winner, who came
to lx)ngwood via Chowan. Other
freshmen include Ross Anderson,
a 150-158 pounder, John Ayoub, a
190-HW wrestler, Keith Barnes, a
190 pounder, John Davis, a 126
pounder, Kevin Fyfe, a 118

With the addition of a skilled
group of newcomers to a proven
nucleus of returnees, Coach
Nelson is pleased with the
improvement, but claims that the
team will still have to deal with
some obstacles.
"We do not have enough depth
at the middle weights and
heavyweight, so we will have to
stay healthy throughout the

will again be one of the youngest

R.O.T.C. Update
By CINDY CORELL
Rappelling down 40 foot towers
and small mountains, and firing
military weapons on official
Army rifle ranges are among
some of the activities students
enrolled in Longwood's Military
Science courses have been doing
so far this year. More than two
hundred students are enrolled in
these courses this semester, and
they have had several exciting
experiences since September.
September 17, all of the
students in the Freshman course,
about 90 went to the University of
Richmond campus to rappel
down a 40-foot tower there. The
next day about nineteen students
went on a Ranger expedition to
the Kyanite Mine, located on
Willis Mountain. There, these
students repelled much more
realistically down the face of the
mountain. They were instructed
by Dr. Alan Ferrell, the Head of
the Foreign Language Dept. at
Hampden-Sydney College and a
Reserved Green Beret.
Also on this weekend, the third
year advanced R.O.T.C.
(Reserved Officer Training
Corps. ) cadets went on an outing
to Aberdeen, Maryland for a
planned orientation tour of the
duties of an officer in the
Ordinance Corps. The trip
included a brief look into the
firing and optical systems of
armoured vehicles, and a sneak
preview of the latest super-tank,
the M-1 Abrams.
In mid-October, all the
advanced R.O.T.C. students
traveUed to Fort A.P. Hill to
complete a Field Leadership
Exercise (F.L.X.) with the
R.O.T.C. students from the
University of Richmond. The
cadets stayed in Army Barracks,
ate C-Rations and spent the days
firing military weapons and
navigating map and compass
courses.

Running Scared
By JOE JOHNSON
The Gay Community, only
recently, in the last decade or so,
has as a group come out of the
closet in the U. S. Previously a
hint of homosexuality could lead
to boolt censorship, banishment
from the stage, or a burning at
the stake. In the early 70's,
however, the sexual revolution,
legitimized homosexual activity
in such renowned California
outposts of free love as San
Francisco, or Fire Island in New
York. As the sexual liberation
spread so did the number of
homosexuals coming out of the
closet.
Depending on the community,
reactions to this extrovertness
varied. Some took it in stride and
welcomed the gay community
with open arms (metaphorically
speaking). Others, not
unsurprisingly, withdrew and
remainded citadels of the
conservative attitude.
Longwood, as a community,
has never been subject to such a
choice. Although Longwood in the
past as an all female institute has
had a reputation for homosexual
activity it was kept covert and
closeted. This semester, an
organization named Longwood's
Discreet Gay Society (L.D.G.S.)
may well force Ix)ngwood to
make such a choice.
"L.D.G.S. was started in part
as a reaction to my own personal
experience as a bisexual on
Longwood's campus," said
the organizer of L.D.G.S. who
preferring anonymity, will be
referred to as Walt. He estimates
that such an organization
oriented to the gay community
could pull in as many as 325
participants or about 13 percent
of Longwood's population, a
modest estimation of the number
of practicing homosexuals
currently enrolled at Longwood.
As a practicing bisexual, Walt
up until very recently was
extraordinarily discreet about
his sexual preferences and
practices. Unfortunately an
incident occurred in his
dormitory which revealed to a
non-sympathetic suitemate his
"true" colors.
"It happened about a week
before fall break. I was partying
wi some 'straight' friends (as
opposed to homosexual or bi-
sexual friends). At the time I was
extremely depressed about the
general lack of acceptance and
Longwood's Discreet Gay Society
understanding and began to talk
intimately of my own problem —
about being bi-sexual, here at
Longwood."
Unfortunately, at the same
time his suitemate had overheard
the conversation and came into
the room demanding an
explanation, as Walt put it, an
explanation that would "let me
off the hook."
"I said, 'I'm sorry that you
heard that, I hope you won't hold
it against me . . . because that's
the way I am.' " The suitemate,
an ROTC cadet, did hold it
against him saying, "Look,
you're that way, and I can't
accept that. I think it's
disgusting.' " "He refused to be
reasonable, about keeping it
quiet, he found it appalling that
my parents didn't know, he said
he wanted nothing to do with me,
didn't want to associate with me
and then promptly went ahead
and told all his friends about it."
What followed was a series of
petty annoyances and in some
cases incidents which rivaled
VMI's "initiation" ceremonies in
maliciousness.
"At first it was just verbal
abuse, people yelling faggot from
their window or in the hall. My
suitemate wouldn't let me use the
phone, which was in my name but
in his room. He didn't even pay
the bill ... I had to pay it. Later
they wrote Faggot on the door in
red magic marker. They thought
my roommate (who is straight)
was homosexual and started
hassling him with cat calls —
faggot, faggot.
"I went to visit Dr. Cox (head
of Longwood's Counseling
Service) because I was worried
about a nervous breakdown. He
and myself were hoping that
incidents would die down after
fall break . . . and they did for half
a week. The Wednesday after fall
break some people started
screaming, 'faggot, I've heard
you're a goddamned faggot.'
They started kicking on the door
to my room. They threatened
violence. Later that night, I was
in the room alone when I heard
my suitemate and apparently
some of his friends yelling taunts
in the bathroom such as 'gay
rights' or 'sexual preference,
sexual preference ... Oh, let me
suck that juicy cock' or 'Oh, bend
over and let me drive' and all the
while someone was in the
background singing America the
Beautiful. I felt like going to
Captain Stanford and saying 'Sir,
I think you should know that one
of your ROTC cadets was
participating in a homosexual
orgy in my bathroom.' I put up
with a lot of crap. Anyway, I left
the room because I was worried
about them getting violent.
"I came back later and found
faggot written on the door again
— this time misspelled — one 'g'
— but then they never accused
biggots of being literate. I came
into the room and found a puddle
of yellowish liquid in front of my
door (it was shampoo — not
mine, my worst fear and
inunediate suspicion). They had
dumped my shampoo, put
graphite lead on my toothbrush
and stuck pinholes in my
toothpaste — it was pretty
childish.
"I told the R.A. about the
incident and we went to my room,
he started writing up the incident
report, when my suitemade came
in the room. He said something to
the effect of 'you goddamned
bastard, if you ever do that again
I'll kill you.' He never said what
he was talking about. He was
really mad, his arm was cocked.
The R.A. told him to calm down
and asked him what happened.
He wouldn't answer and started
shaking like he was about to
explode. The R.A. told him to go
into his room and he said, "Yeh,
I'll go over there and then I'll kill
him.' Later after the R.A. had
gotten my story and had gone
next door and heard what my
suitemate had to say we all got
together and tried to work out a
solution. My suitemate insisted
that I leave. He suggested that I
should commit suicide because I
had no place in society.
"The upshot of all this was
nil. I spoke with the R.S. about
pressing charges — it was slow
going. I don't know if he's ever
written it up even. I liked school,
but thought I'd have to move out
— with prevailing attitudes like
my suitemate's.
"Finally, I went to various
administrative officials, Thomas
Nanzig (director of housing), Dr.
Cox, Dean Ogrosky, and Ray
Rotherwell. I told them about my
problem. The administration was
100 percent supportive. They all
helped a lot. Mr. Nanzig gave me
possible legal routes to follow,
and all of them were on my side
— very professional about it.
"Things started to happen. My
suitemate finally paid the phone
bill; he stopped the harassments
and was forced (I believe by
Captain Stanford) to move out.
"L.D.G.S. is a direct result of
this experience. I talked to the
administration and told them of
how such dilemmas may be
commonplace and the need for an
organizational force of some sort
to prevent such incidents in the
future. Without it every
homosexual on campus would be
like me — running scared.
Everyone from Dr. Greenwood to
Phyliss Maple seemed supportive
of the idea. So I decided, why
not."
Following is an interview
describing the organization and
some of Walt's feelings on
homosexuality.
Rotunda — Has there been a
good response to the L.D.G.S.
salvo? Do you feel there will be a
good response on this campus?
Walt — I don't know really, it
seems that the majority of the
pamphlets which I hung at
various places around campus
instead of being ripped up and
destroyed by indignant, uptight
people who can't handle the
concept, were being taken down
and passed around. I mean I only
found one in a garbage can.
Rotunda — Do you think there
is a real chance of such an
organization having members?
Walt — I think there is good
potential, simply because of the
fact that there are a good sized
percentage of gays here at
Longwood.
Rotunda — When did you first
realize that you were bisexual?
Walt — Well, as far back as I
can remember, in fact, the
heterosexual tendencies only
came out starting at age 19 when
I thought I'd go ahead and give
heterosexuality a try ... it didn't
pan out all that well, though.
Rotunda — When was your first
homosexual experience?
Walt - At age 17.
Rotunda — Is it stressful to
you, without the added stress of
dormitory living and suitemates,
is just being in the minority as far
as sexual preference is
concerned, stressful to you?
Walt — No, why should it be,
statistics indicate that 10 per cent
of the world's population is gay.
Do you realize how many ti'at is,
like 200 million of us running
around. A bit less now,
Khomeini's marching them in
front of the firing squad, but
we're used to that. Hitler did the
same thing. America's a nice
place to be, though, you're able to
"get away" with it.
Rotunda — Do you have any
particular admiration for
homosexual writers, homosexual
artists, homosexual musicians?
Walt — I'm not well versed
enough really, I've only just
recently begun to get involved in

Srxual Harassment at Long wood
"Our goal is zero incidents, one
is loo many. We want to stop it at
all cost." said Dean Convey in
reference to sexual harassment
at Longwood College. Three such
incidents between faculty and
.students at Longwood provoked
Dean Conway into institutioning
an informal committee on sexual
harassment during a meeting of
the appointment, reappointment
and tenure committee held Nov. 4
i:i the Prince Edward Room.
The three incidents involved
students that had gone to either
their advisor, a faculty member
or department head and had
reported incidents which they felt
were ones of sexual harassment.
The informal committee is being
established to hear these and
other incidents of students or
.staff members who wish to report
an allegation of misconduct by or
agains. a faculty member.
What constitutes sexual
tiara.ssnuiit varies in degree
irjin an unwarranted comment
:o iieavy petting. As defined by
!he Board of Visitors November
I), 1981. sexual harassment is "an
attempt to coerse an unwilling
person into a sexual relationship,
or to subject a person to
unwanted sexual attention, or to
pumsh a refusal to comply, or to
create a sexually intimidating
hostile, or offensive working or
educational environment. Sexual
harassment is understood to
include a wide range of behaviors
from the actual coercing of
sexual relations to the
unwelcomed and inappropriate
emphasizing of sexual identity.
This definition does not impinge
on individual standards of
mature behavior, academic
freedom or freedom of
expression."
Although a remark or verbal
sexual advance may seem
superficially harmless. Dean
Conway said that there is a sub-
structure of trust to a student-
faculty relationship and such
advances can prove harmful.
"Important, even essential to the
educational process is a trusting
relationship between the faculty
and students ... a sexual
advance can destroy that trust —
not only between a student and a
faculty member but, by
association, all faculty
members."
The Committee v/ill have the
right to hear not only from
alleged victims but also from
those who might be able to
The Committee will
recommend to the Dean of
Faculty a course of action in each
individual case, as well as
improvements in College
procedures which hopefully will
reduce incidents of sexual
harassment.
The Committee will consist of
three faculty members appointed
by Dean Conway and one
representative appointed by
either the Vice President for
Student Affairs (if the alleged
victim is a student) or by the
supervising Vice President if the
alleged victim is a staff member.

THE ROTUNDA
Page 3
By JOHNEL BROWN
A pregnant 37-year old is
rushed into the emergency room.
She has tried to abort herself with
a glass thermometer, and the
hemorrhaging calls for an
immediate hysterectomy and
ultimately her death.
Abortion has always been a
prominent issue. In the 1800's
there were no laws prohibiting or
providing for abortion. In 1840
abortionists advertised their
services in newspapers and
journals. By 1900, however,
abortions were ruled to be
criminal offenses in most
instances in the United States.
Between 1900 and 1973, illegal
abortions claimed the lives of
many women. It wasn't until 1973
that abortions were deemed legal
by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
on the Roe V Wade case. Since
then, elective abortions have
become medically safe — safer
even than childbirth. In 1980, 33
percent of all pregnancies were
terminated by abortions.
Records show that women have
been exercising the option of
abortion as early as 2700 B.C. in
ancient Chinese medical practice
Even during its prohibition,
women found ways — sometimes
fatally — sometimes not to retain
the ultimate control and rights
oyer their bodies.
The Right-to-Life movement is
threatening the abortion laws as
they stand, providing that all
abortions, except in the cases
where the mother's life would be
endangered, or in cases of rape or
incest would be illegal. Somehow
they feel that, regardless of the
volume of evidence to the
contrary, a law prohibiting
elective abortions would thereby
eliminate them. And, that
somehow, the law would be
enforceable and in the best
interest of everyone, including
women. Why the Right-to-Lifers
insist that by stripping a woman
of her freedom of choice, pushing
her to disregard the law and
possibly fatally threaten her life
will be in the best interest of
anyone, is beyond logic. The
Right-to Lifers base their stand
on the question (and their shot-in-
the-dark answer) of when life
really begins. Science remains
silent on what seems to some a
scientific issue. Life, however, is
present in the sperm and egg
even before fertilization, but is
not yet human life. What kind of
life exactly the zygote is, remains
a theological or philosophical
question. Of course the zygote has
potential for human life, it has
not yet been declared so just on
the basis of potential as an acorn
has yet to be called an oak.
There are countless horror
tales of women in "back alley-
butcher" abortionist clinics, and
to adopt a constitutional
amendment that would force a
morality that only a chosen few
select, would discredit the law.
One wonders for whose rights the
Right-to-Lifers are fighting, and
for whose lives.
^^^^ ^^¥^^¥^
There is no issue which
can arouse such poignant
images, devastating rhetoric and
good intentioned hatred as
abortion. Pro-choice members
fight for an idealistic and
pragmatic goal. Ideally the right
to the freedom of individual
moral responsibility and
pragmatically the elimination
back alley coat hangar abortions.
Pro-life members fight against
what they perceive as cold
blooded murder in its worst form,
the killing of a helpless innocent.
Let's examine the pro-choice
arguments. They contend that
each woman has a right to the
decision of whether abortion is
morally justifiable or not —
putting the act of abortion in the
same category as contraception
or the act of fornication. The
secular state has no moral
presumptions on these actions,
nor should they on the act of
abortion.
Secondly, Pro-choice members
argue that to adopt a
constitutional amendment
outlawing abortion would create
a situation analogous to our
Your Turn
Parent Objects: Deposit Proves Damaging
It is apparent from the new
demand for a $100 damage
deposit, in addition to the
increased other mandatory
charges, that Longwood
administration does have a
problem. But before they
compound the problem, I would
like to see some effort in finding
the source of the inefficiency,
rather than grasping for funds
from all the students. If in the
past, billing the guilty students
for damages has proven
ineffective then I ask how would
money on hand be more
advantageous? I fail to see how
the administration can withdraw
from a student's account any
more than they can bill if that
student is innocent. In short, I
would have to conclude that if the
administration Of the billing
failed, then the withdrawal ot
funds will meet the same
problems.
Perhaps the administration
should review their past records
of this situation very carefully
before they place more financial
burdens on the students. Even
though Ms. Mable stated that
"$20,000 isn't a lot of money,"
there are students at Longwood
that are having to obtain loans for
the $100, loans on which they will
be forced to pay interest, give
Longwood the $100, Longwood
will place the money in the banks
in Farmville, and I am assuming
Longwood will receive the
interest from the student's
borrowed $100. But when the
money is returned to the student
(if it is ever) where will this
interest be? Although Vepco and
C&P have been ruled to pay
interest on deposits, Longwood at
present is exempt.
When my daughter was
enrolled in college it was solely
for educational purposes for her,
not me. I, in no way, intended for
the Longwood administration to
become my arbitrary financial
investor.
This unconcerned attitude for
students and parents definitely
disappoints and even infuriates
me. In fact, I am not accustomed
to giving from one hand while the
same establishment takes from
the other — therefore, please
strike my name from your annual
donation list.

prohibition era. Like
the sale of sight robbing
moonshine, if atwrtions were
made illegal back alley abortions
would spread potentially
maiming as many mothers, as
the number of fetus' the law was
meant to protect.
Pro-life arguments take both of
these arguments on with a simple
rationale. The fetus is human.
One does not kill humanj

Ah, the pro-choice say, but a

I am a heterosexual male. I
thought this opening statement
necessary to give the reader a
certain perspective. The recent
leaflets which have appeared
over campus bannering an
association of "Discreet Gays"
seem to have upset a number of
our more intellectual students,
and, before the witch hunt begins
I want to be counted out!
On the day when the leaflets
were put up, many muscle-bound
male students began to scream
and holler about all those
"damned faggots" who are
presumably taking over the
Longwood campus. They ranted
over this horrifying occurrence
and swore to take down every one
of the leaflets, which they
promptly did. At lunch, I
overheard a mild discussion
between three ROTC students
Who were planning to bring in a
Howitzer and obliterate all
effeminate males on campus. At
supper, two good old boys from
Backwash, North Carolina were
plotting to bring in a twelve
gauge double barrel Remington
and make siege upon the
accused, whom they had
laboriouMy tracked down by
lifting fingerprints off of the
offensive leaflets.
Perhaps the reason that these
males react so violently to
homosexuality is that they feel it
is a threat to their "manhood."
Muscles and all that, you know.
Maybe they are worried that
their girl friends will think less of
them if they respect the privacy
— the basic rights — of a person
who happens to be a homosexual.
The person that put up this leaflet
has been subjected to verbal and
physical abuse which he in no
way deserved. He is owed an
apology by most of the people on
campus who have cussed him out
without even knowing who he
was.
Perhaps, indeed, we should
segregate our classrooms so that
we won't be influenced by these
dangerous deviants. Let's all
write home about this one, kids,
maybe Mommy and Daddy will
have Dr. Greenwood expel all
males who don't smoke Marlboro
cigarettes, drink Miller beer, or
don't participate in other such
masculine habits.
While all of this scandal was
going on, I tried to establish why
people would be so deeply
angered by the fact that there are
homosexuals at Longwood. Had
they been so naive as to think
homosexuality could not exist
right here in Farmville? Or did
they believe that though the
"problem" did exist, gay people
were supposed to live passive,
quiet lives hiding in a dark room
somewhere out in California?
Unfortunately, it would seem that
many people believe just that.
I have nothing else to write,
Joe, I just hope to God that all of
the bigoted asses, male and
female, on this campus will
reconsider their prejudices. For
those who just can't do that:
friends, enjoy your Sunday
brunches with Jerry Falwell on
the tube — don't forget to put on
your Barry Goldwater for
President button, and, while
you're at it, drop Ron a line on
what a fine job he's doing for his
ultra-conservative supporters
here in Farmville.
It took real courage to put up
those pamphlets, no matter what
you may think of them, more, I
suspect, than most of us have;
more, I am sure than any ROTC
redneck from Backwash, North
Carolina could muster.

by student choreographers begins with the blossoming of
presenting different moods and bodies; wonderful slow unfurling
movements in blue side lighting.

Natalie Wack, and Edward
Fetzner. These are not fish from

"The Seasons" which is the work
of three new choreographers.

become a part of the light with
their upraised fingers as flames
of the fire. It is pagan and also
mythological. It closes with the
dancers jnoving away from the
center and then crossing through
the hght and exiting with no
particular order. The music ends
with a rush of wind and the pool of
light fades in the center — ashes
of the fire, the resting of the
spirit. The dancers have finished
their ritual and have scattered in
the forest. The god is appeased.
The dancers: Shanna Eyer,
Karey Kaiser, Nancy Nuckols
Pam Smith, Sabra Seneff, Eddie
Fetzner, Dean Lakey, Dave
Sawyer, and Horace Scruggs.
The men should be commended
for a fine and brave
performance, the level of which
is probably a first for men in the
company.

and Laura Cawthorne.
Movement, costume and lighting
come together nicely here,
especially in "Fall" with its
autumn-rust lighting and
costumes. All three dances in the
suite are wonderful mood pieces.
"The Good, the Bad, and the
Ugly," choreographed and
danced by Robbie Hanger and
Pam Smith is a slick, cool slow
motion gun fight with equally
slick movement and costumes.
Two other dances: "Breakin'
Loose" choreographed by Lisa
Snellings and "The Work-Out"
choreographed by Rebecca
Johnson seem to be just about
dancing. They are a colorful tour
de force of stylized contemporary
dance with music by Quincy
Jones, Diana Ross and Steve
Winwood.

soul. Miss Kaiser has included
breathing which is visual and
audible to the audience. It is as if
these new children of the earth
are taking their first breaths of
air. The simplicity and
deliberateness of this breathing
and movement are sensational.
Mr. Fetzner, breaking off from
the others, seems to represent a
bursting forth of the dancers'
inner selves. He dances with
bravado, spinning away from the
others. He is alone as all of us at
times must be. His action that
closes the dance is exciting and
surprising (I will not ruin the
surprise but let you experience it
yourself). It reflects the daring
and risk we must all take and the
trust we must have in others.
The most ambitious dance of
the concert is "Temple"
choreographed by Horace
Scruggs, III. It is "most
ambitious" because of the size of
the group of dancers (9), the use
of specific stylized motifs, and its
originality. It creates an
incredible mood. The music i.'-

presentation of classic films
focusing on the culture and styles
of lives of people in societies
other than our own or on people in
prehistoric times.
The Hunters is a film study of
13 days in the life of a hunting
band of Kung Bushman. The
Kung live in the Kalahari Desert
in southern Africa. They number
about 55,000 and are unique
culturally in that they speak a
"chck" language which contains
sounds not found in any other
language in the world. The
Hunters focuses on a chase after
a giraffe which the Bushmen
have wounded with a small
poison arrow. Nearly two weeks
are spent tracking the wounded
and sick animal until the last
scene when it is finally trapped
by the hunters.
Dr. James W. Jordan,
Associate Professor of
Anthropology and Director of the
Anthropology Film Series will
provide a brief introduction to the
film. All films in the Series are

Tuesday, November 16, 1982 THE ROTUNDA
Pages
By CINDY CORELL
At 4:00 a.m. on Friday of the
first weekend in November,
eleven Longwood students, a
friend of one, and Dr. Bruce
Montgomery set off for the Big
Apple, to see, feel and experience
one of the most exciting cities in
the world. The trip was planned
in conjunction with one of Dr.
Montgomery's music classes.
Jazz, Folk, Rock and Broadway
Musicals. An avid Broadway
enthusiast himself, Dr.
Montgomery planned the
weekend excursion and held it
open to anyone who was
interested. The group travelled in
a Ix)ngwood van and stayed in a
hotel on 48th Street. The price for
the trip included two nights in the
hotel, transportation, tolls and
parking fees and the total was
under $90.00.
The group arrived in New York
through Staten Island and took
the ferry over to Manhattan.
They arrived there about 2:00
p.m. and checked into their hotel.
They spent the rest of the
afternoon in Soho, a section of
lower Manhattan which is south
of Houston Street, hence the
name. Soho is considered a very
artsy section of the city and
the neighborhood has an
atmosphere all its own. After
visiting a few clothing stores and
art shops, the group headed back
uptown, ate dinner near their
hotel and then went their own
ways, a few experiencing the
Manhattan bar scene.
Saturday morning, a group of
the students went with Dr.
Military Ball
"It was a good experience for
these young cadets to see what a
military social event is like; they
aren't quite like civilian parties,"
said Captain Tom Stanford of the
Military Ball held Saturday night
at the Defense General Supply
Center in Richmond, Va. It was
attended by all of the R.O.T.C.
cadets from Longwood,
University of Richmond,
Hampden-Sydney College and
Virginia Commonwealth
University. Dr. J.R. Scully, the
Assistant Secretary of the Army,
Dr. Janet D. Greenwood,
president of Longwood, Dr.
Verna Armstrong, Vice
President for Business Affairs,
and Donald Lemish, Vice
President for Institutional
Advancement. High ranking
officials from the other schools
also attended, as well as ranking
officers from the Pentagon.
A highlight of the evening was
the crowning of the Military Ball
queen. This year the advanced
corps cadets from U. of R. and
Ix)ngwood elected Karen Kaiser,
a Longwood junior who is
studying dance. Two of the
finalists in her court, Marsha
Booth and Ann McCarty (first
runner-up) are also Longwood
students.
A contingent of the Old Guard
from Fort Myer, the Army's
ceremonial unit were presented
and performed for the event.
Montgomery to the stores on
Fifth Avenue. Doug Rossi tried
on a nice jacket in Saks. Leather
and nylon. It was a nice fit but the
salesman didn't make a sale. It
seems Doug didn't have $2,100.00
on him at the moment.
Meanwhile, another jacket
caught the eye of Dr.
Montgomery. Genuine coyote
fur, for a mere $5,400.00. Alas,
another failure for the salesman.
According to Doug though. Dr.
Montgomery "...looked like a
pimp with it on," so maybe
Farmville wasn't ready for that
jacket anyway.
While they were this far
uptown, the students walked
through one end of Central Park
and saw all the horse and buggy
rides being advertised.
They took the subway down to
Chinatown, "a real trip" for most
of the students. They ate Italian
food in Little Italy (of course),
and saw the post card view of
N.Y.C. from the top of the Worid
Trade Center. Being used to the
Frazer elevator, Doug was taken
aback with the ^mites-an-hour
107-floors-in-less-than-a-minute
trip to the top of one of the tallest
buildings in the world.
That evening they all went to
different plays and spent the rest
of the evening as they pleased.
Around 1:00 p.m. on Sunday,
the travelers were weary and
homebound. Doug spoke for just
about all of the students when he
stated, "It was a good trip, and a
fun way to see the city, no direct
authority. Dr. Montgomery was
great; he was a lot of help and a
lot of fun, especially fooling
around in Sacks and when
he couldn't find the van at the end
of the weekend!"

Players at Wesley
One of the church's most
important — and toughest — jobs
is to challenge its members ... to
keep them alive, thinking,
growing, ill at ease with
complacency ... to make
Christian commitment an
exciting, total way of life, not just
an hour a week in Sunday
worship. The unfortunate truth is
of course, that most of us don't
like being challenged very much .
. . having our toes stepped on . . .
so we find lots of ways to avoid
paying attention.
Having something to say, and
getting people to hear and
respond to it, are two different
things. Covenant players was
created with just this in mind . . .
the need for media that can
communicate the vibrant
challenges of Christian
commitment ... in a way to
engrossing to ignore, too much
fun to get uptight about. Too
potent and personal to be
rationalized away.
Covenat players, an
international repertory drama
group, utilize a unique kind of
drama. With a repertoire of over
900 plays, it allows a flexibility to
communicate a variety of
themes, issues, and subject
matter. Using everything from
light comedy to heavy drama,
science, fiction, and biblical
characterizations, they present
their message. One of 85 touring
groups will be performing
November 17, at 6:45 p.m. at the
Wesley Foundation Student
Center. A second performance
will be held at. 12:30 p.m. on

Wild Night
At Frazer
One hundred two students were
written up in Frazer dormitories
early Friday morning. Jim Scott,
the Resident Supervisor,
admitted that writing up 102
residents in a single day was a bit
excessive but said it was the
result of a generally bizarre day.
"Thursday we had a lot of
problems. Early in the afternoon
an entire suite had to be written
up for throwing firecrackers out
of the windows. We had three
callin complaints from the Town
Police, later that night, one co-
ceming a party itn the Frazer TV
room (the music was loud enough
to be heard at Par bil's), another
at about one in the morning.
Apparently a number of Marines
were out in back of the
dormitories, yelling and
screaming — one guy almost got
clobbered with a bottle. And still
another concerning a person on
8th floor who insisted on
screaming out of the window."
Those incidents only bagged 15-
20 students at the most, but the
coup de grace for Jim Scott's
record books came early Friday
morning at 4:02 a.m.
"The false alarm Friday
morning really inflated the
incident reports. We had had a
false alarm Wednesday night and
students must not have felt too
ambitious about crawling out of
bed at 4:00 a.m. I know I didn't.
But it's against the law not to.
Seventy-two people were written
up who didn't leave for various
reasons. It took us 40 minutes to
clear the people out of the
building — that's absurd."
The total of 102 write-ups may
not necessarily end in 102
punishments. "Fifty per cent of
those will be people with
legitimate reasons for not leaving
the building — some were sick or
on medication or in other ways
handicapped, some simply didn't
wake up — but it's still pretty
serious — God forbid, there
would be a real fire."
Jim Scott estimates that each
incident report dealt with solely
on his level will take about an
hour to an hour and one-half to
investigate, write up and hear.
By the modest estimate, that's
102 hours' worth of work for one
day — and Resident Supervisors
don't get overtime.

Longwood Booters Win State Title
By BECKY DUNK
Longwood's sensational soccer
team won the Virginia
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association state title Saturday
by defeating Lynchburg 1-0 in the
championship game. This was
the final match of the year for the
Lancers, who compiled a record
of 15-4-1, the best in their six-year
history.
The game, which lasted more
than two hours, was tough for
both teams. Longwood
dominated the game but failed to
break through Lynchburg's
defense. At the end of regulation
play, the score remained 0-0. Two
15-minute overtimes and a third
five-minute overtime were
played and still there was no
score.
Finally, with only 25 seconds
gone in the fourth overtime
period, freshman Brian
Allmendinger headed in a pass
from Steve Kern for the winning
goal. "It felt good to score, but I
was stunned," said
Allmendinger. "I thought it was
going over the net."
Besides being Virginia State
Champions this season, the
Lancers are ranked second in the
Division II Mid-Atlantic Region,
and are among the top 15 in
Division II nationwide.
Six of Longwood's players were
named to the VISA All-Central
Division team. They are: goalie
Brian Sprinkle, backs Dan
Bubnis, Joe Parker, and Darryl
Case, midfielder Bill Foster, and
forward Tim Brennan.
These six Lancers will play for
the Eastern Division VISA All-
Stars when they go up against a
team from the west at the VISA
AU-Star game December 5 at 1 : GO

competing schools.
Amy Jo Poor and Kristin
Birath will be added to the list of
Longwood riders competing in
the regional show this spring.
Both of these riders will also
advance from the novice to the
intermediate division. There are
several other Longwood riders
who only need a few more points
to qualify. Qualifications for
regionals is an accumulation of 21
points in a given class — 1st place
is 7 points, 2nd is 5 points, 3rd is 4
points, and so on.
There will be approximately
five shows next semester with the
season starting again in Feb-
ruary.
Neptune, New Jersey. "My
height is really an advantage
because the other team doesn't
mark me as tight. I receive a lot
of hell from opposing fans, but it
just makes me play harder."
"The only time my size is a
problem is when I try to head the
ball," Mark adds. "I usually
can't reach it."
Mark is better known by fans
and friends as "Smurf" and
"Tuna." Dave Via started calling
me Smurf because I'm small,"
he says. "It just kinda' caught on.
They call me 'Tuna' since I'm
from Neptune."
A soccer fanatic since age 10,
Mark began his career playing on
community teams. From there
he went on to complete four very
successful years as a starting
forward on his high school soccer
team. He made All Conference
Coaches Pick - 2nd team,
received an All-Shore Honorable
Mention, and was captain of the
team his senior year.
Impressed By Longwood
Several schools other than
Longwood tried to recruit Mark
for their team, but he turned
them all down. "The coach (Rich
Posipanko) influenced me a lot.
He talked me into coming here,"
he says. "I also looked at
Longwood's record — how it has
improved over Ihe past years. It
was real impressive."
Early in the season, Mark was
sidelined for several weeks due to
an injury. "I hyperextended my
left knee during a game and tore
the cartilage. Doc Powers
(trainer) has really been a big
help. He's worked with me a lot to
try to get it better. He's the one
who got me back into action."
Valuable Member Of Team
Coach Rich Posipanko feels
Mark is a valuable member of the
team. "It's really a plus having
him back after his injury," he
says. "Mark has a super attitude.
He gives an all-out effort every
time he plays."
The effort Mark puts into his
play has helped him see action in
14 games this season. He has had
four attempted shots, one goal
and one assist. These statistics
hardly reflect the real
contribution Mark has made to
the team. His quickness and
MARK McARDLE
ability to move the ball downfield
have enhanced the Lancer
offense.
"I feel I've had a good season,"
Mark .says. "Rich gave me
enough playing time ... I think I
helped the team both on and off
the bench."
"I've improved a lot since I
came to Longwood," says Mark.
"College soccer is different than
high school soccer. In college,
you don't have guys chasing you
all over the field trying to get the
ball. You have more time to
control it and make good moves."
"Playing with good players has
definitely helped," Mark adds.
"When you're playing next to
Billy Foster and Steve Kern, you
can't mess up."
This season the Lancers won
the Virginia Intercollegiate
Soccer Association state title by
defeating Lynchburg 1-0. They
compiled a record of 154-1, the
best in their six-year history.
Longwood had hoped to
participate in the NCAA Division
II playoffs in Florida, but they
didn't receive a bid.
"As a team, we definitely had a
great season," Mark says. "We
deserved to go to the NCAA
playoffs . . . some of the guys
were real upset, but that's just
the way it goes."
Mark, "Smurf," "Tuna" - call
him what you will. But with one
successful season behind him and
three potentially good seasons
ahead, be sure to call him a
competitor.

From Sports Information
Coach Cal Luther will unveil
his 1982-83 lancer basketball
team in the Mansfield State Tip-
Off Tournament Friday night in
Mansfield, Pennsylvania. The
Lancers, 15-8 last season, take on
Clarion State in the tournament
opener at 6:00 Friday while
Mansfield plays Eimira in the
second contest at 8:00.
Losers will play in the
consolation game Saturday night
at 6:00 while the winners square
off at 8:00 for the championship.
Luther expects seniors Joe
Remar and Mike Testa to start at
guard, senior Ron Orr at center
and junior Jerome (COBRA)
Kersey and sophomore John
Weber at forwards. Remar and
Orr are three-year starters while
Kersey has been in the starting
Hneup two years.
Kersey has been bothered with
a sore foot throughout the pre-
season and could still be knocked
out of action if the ailment flares
up again. The 6-7, 215-pound pre-
season AU-American has missed
a lot of practice time over the
past three weeks.
Backing up lx)ngwood's top
cagers will be freshman Lonnie
Ix^wi.s and sophomore Adrian
Armstrong at forward and 6-7
junior Hay Witiak at center.
Senior Bobby Carter is likely to
be the first guard substitute.
Longwood's first round
opponent Clarion State fmished
16-11 last season, but has a new
coach in former Creighton
assistant Dick Taylor and only
two lettermen back from last
season.
"Clarion has a new coach and
new players," said Luther. "I
think we're going to have a pretty
good defensive club, but it's going
to be tough to preapre for this
game when we know so little
about them."
Luther has two main concerns
as he heads into his second
season as coach of the Lancers.
One concern is simply to keep
Kersey healthy. The big forward
led Longwood in scoring (17.0)
and rebounding (11.8) last
season. If Kersey is out with an
injury it would be impossible to
compensate for his absence.
The Longwood coach also is

concerned about his team's lack
of depth at guard. Only senior
Joe Remar could be called
experienced. Senior Mike Testa
saw some action in a back-up role
last season after Longwood lost
number 3 guard Jim Sixsmith.
"We have a definite lack of
experience at the guard
position," said the coach. "We're
pretty thin in terms of experience

Playoffs last year. Hall. After a rough weekend of
1982-83 LONGWOOD WRESTLING TEAM: 1st row: Vincent Lee, Terry Hale, Tim Fitzgerald,
Kevin Fyfe, Mike Hackett, Curtis Vest. 2nd row: John Davis, Steve Albeek, Charles Campbell, David

Barnes and Manager Elaine Burton.
wrestling at the ODU
Tournament, Coach Steve Nelson
knows that Wednesday's
homestand will not be an easy
chore for his young wrestlers.
"We did not wrestle as well as
we could have," explained
Nelson. "We were intimidated by
the level of competition. VMI
looked very impressive at the
Tournament (ODU) and we will
have to wrestle a hundred
percent better to compete with
them."
Newport News, who the
Lancers defeated twice last
season, will not be a pushover
either with an improved squad
with particular strength in the
lightweight classifications.
Although the wrestlers only
compiled 6.5 points in the ODU
tourney, there were some bright
spots. Of the 10 wrestlers making
the trip, Steve Kidwell, 1-2 at 126,
John Ayoub, 1-2 at 190 and Steve
Albeek, 1-2 at 142 had impressive
performances against some of
the South's better wrestlers.
Albeek came from behind 8-2 to
pin his opponent from William
and Mary at 5:21.
Lady Lancers Host UMES Saturday

Longwood's women's
basketball team opens its season
Saturday afternoon at 3:00 when
Coach Jane Miller's squad hosts
Maryland Eastern Shore in
Lancer Hall.
Longwood, 8-15 last season,
returns four starters and seven
players. The Lady Lancers are
hoping to bring their offensive
output up to the level of their
defense in the coming season.
Coach Miller expects juniors
Robin Powell and Kim McConnell

By RONNIE BROWN
The Lady Lancers finished the
1982 season Tuesday, November
9, on a losing note to Chowan 15-9,
16-18, 4-15, 9-15. Although
Coach Joyce Phillips was
disappointed with the 7-11 mark,
she says the record is deceiving.
"We should have won more
matches, but considering the
competition, we played better
than our record indicates,"
explained Phillips. "When the
team communicated well with
each other, we were effective."
Although three seniors will be
leaving, including co-captains
Elaine Olay and Kathy Gunning,

team must make strides in
realizing its offensive potential if
the upcoming season is to be
success.
Gymnasts Spring
Into Action
By JAUDON CONKWRIGHT
The 1982-83 Lady Lancer
gymnastic team displayed their
talent and strength last Tuesday
night at their annual pre-season
exhibition. Since competition
does not begin until January,
Coach Ruth Budd held the
exhibition to give the public a
preview of the team as well as
prepare the gymnasts for
competition in front of an
audience.
The exhibition opened with a
tumbling performance done by
the entire squad. After, several
girls performed various routines
in the four areas: bars, beam,
floor exercise, and vaulting.
These routines did not consist of
polished competitive
perfofmances, but rather a
preview of skills and routines the
team is preparing.
Returning from last year's
team are team captain and
sophomore, Kim Owens; junior
Sherri Meeks; sophomores Angle
Smith, Kelly Crepps, Gray
Stabley, Elsa Kretz, and Dayna
Hankinson. There are seven
freshmen newcomers to this
year's young squad: Lisa Zuraw,
Judy Wagner, Tracey Roberts,
Kim Kenworthy, Allison Berry,
Cindy Weinstock and Terri Audi.
Helping Coach Budd with this
year's large squad is senior
student assistant Nancy Pierce.
This year's outlook seems to be
good. One of the major reasons is
because of the brand new spring
floor exercise mat. Not only does
this floor give the gymnasts
increased tumbling ability, but
also enables Longwood to bring in
top recruits and highly rated
:ollege teams to compete
against.
Last Tuesday was not the only
chance this semester the public
will get to see the girls perform.
On Monday, Nov. 22, at 7:30, the
girls will compete in an inter-
squad meet to be held in I.ancer
Hall. Please come out and
support the girls in their first
competitive event. The girls'
performance should be much
improved since the exhibition
and the audience will be well
entertained.

THE ROTUNDA Tuesday, November 16, 1982
Gay Society
(Continued from Page 1)
the subculture. Just this past
summer I found out where the
gay action was up in my
hometown — that was great. By
day I was with my mother and
grandmother the good, clean-cut
little boy, by night I was myself. I
let my hair down, so to speak,
after they turned in I prowled the
boardwalk — it was great.
Rotunda — What kind of
action''
Walt — Well, there are gay
bars — all male and all female
and bi.sexual bars — male and
female and mixed gay bars —
bisexuals, heterosexuals and
homosexuals. In D.C. gay action -
is paradise. They've got over 20
gay bars, gay restaurants, gay
twokstores, gay theaters, gay
dancing spots.
Rotunda — You're probably h-
eard of the movie Cruising and its
investigation of the Sado-Maso
gay scene. What's your opinion
on the leather side of gay life?
Walt — I'm not much into the
leather gay scene, or the
lavender and lace gay scene, I'm
into the normal gay scene. Those
are both extremes. They're the
minority within the minority. I
think it's rather vulgar.
Rotunda — Do you feel your
homosexuality is a result of your
environment or an innate natural
characteristic?
Walt — It's just a natural
attraction, not a disease or
psychological disorder — the
American Psychological
Association ( APA ) removed it off
the list of psychological disorders
back in the early 70's. It decreed
that they did not approve of any
prejudice against anyone
because of sexual preference.
Tlie reason many of them do seek
psychological help is because of
the hostile environment — this
school is a hostile environment.
Back to your origmal question, I
don't think it's environment
strictly or hormonal imbalance
• the most masculine men can
'bo found in an S&M gay bar —
leather jackets and tight blue
jeans type -- most of the guys on
campus would be hard pressed to
match them for the so-called
macho image — the hairy chest,
big muscles and so forth) if there
was any lack of testosterone they
wouldn't have developed that
way physically. I think it's a
combination, probably, of all the
above. There is a certain amount
of tendency, a certain rmount of
open niindedness.
Rotunda — Without being
stereotypic, do you find that gays
tend to be more inclined to the
liberal arts — music, art work,
writing'.'
Walt — As a general rule yes,
the gay people I've run into have
been very intelligent, very
artistically inclined. Again. I
hate stereotyping but many do
get involved in drama or music
and art. I guess it's because if
You're not intelligent and open
minded, you're not going to be
able to accept yourself, in which
case you'll probably be a suicide.
Rotunda — Is there a high
percentage of suicide among
gays?
Walt — There's a very, very
high percentage. The sur-
vivability rate is very poor.
It's probably one of the most
common problems along with
drug and alcohol abuse. It's a
hostile society that drives them to
it. They are not born sicko or
suicidal or alcoholic but the
nonacceptance of society drives
them to it.
Rotunda — You mentioned
before that you hadn't told your
parents about your homo-
sexuality. Are you planning
on telling them, if so, what do you
think will be their reaction?
Walt — Don't remind me. Yes,
I am planning to tell them. I'll
probably bring this article and
say simply, "I'm Walt." I'm very
worried about their reaction. My
dad is the most open minded of
the two. He will be shocked but I
think he'll get over it, he looks on
me as a person. My mother will
probably react the way she did
when she found out I smoked or
drank or went to wild parties —
"Oh, God, what did I do wrong, I
didn't raise a child to be a smoker
or I didn't raise a child to drink,
or oh, my God, what did I do
v/rong, I should have made you
go out with girls more often." I'm
very worried about that.
Rotunda — Do gays, you think,
feel a special bond between
themselves, aside from the
sexual?
Walt — When they manage to
find each other, yes, but they are
so used to hiding. They've had to
hide throughout grade school,
intermediate school, high school,
college even. Many don't manage
to find themselves, to be
themselves, until they're out on
their own. Then they can finally
face themselves and meet others
— that's of course, if they haven't
committed suicide yet.
Rotunda — A lot of people hold
the opinion that gays put an
undue emphasis on sex. Do you
think that it is true, is that
ridiculous, or a double standard?
Walt - I find that they're just
ordinary people. It's like with the
heterosexual community, you've
got those that are interested in
little kids. There are a few
absolute creeps out there. But
there's just as high percentage in
the heterosexual community.
Likewise you've got ine guys wno
will go from bed to bed, "score"
as much as possible, or those
interested in a meaningful
relationship, or those who go in
for an occasional one night stand
because they don't want to be by
themselves that night. I think
that there's really no difference;
both community's heterosexuals
and homosexuals have varying
degrees of sexual activity. I think
people say gays put undue
emphasis on sex because gays
have a difficult time finding
stable partners. First of all, gays
have restricted themselves
instead of looking at half the
population to find a suitable
partner, they find themselves
looking at half of 10 per cent of
the world's population. To find
someone you are compatible
with, you can live with, you can
care for, you can really love, is
very difficult.
Rotunda — Ideally, what would
you like to see the L.D.G.S.
become?
Walt — I would like to see first
of all, an open organization
stemming from this, of people
who are open about themselves,
an acceptance within the school
community to try to undo the bad
image that gays have received
over the decades here. That can
only be done by setting an
example.
Rotunda — What kind of bad
image are you talking about?
Walt — Let's face it, this place
used to have a big reputation; it
still has a big reputation, frankly.
When it was an all female
institute a bunch of lesbians
would get together and have an
all girl party and invite
unsuspecting freshman girls.
Next thing you know the girls
would be paired off and the ones
who weren't paired off were m-
aking moves at the freshman
girls. The parents would get very
upset. As the school became
more and more mixed (co-ed)
those type of incidents slowly
died out. They (the homosexuals)
went underground.
We should be able to set an
example now, as a community
and show that we are not going to
come on to every unsuspecting
freshman. We should be open
about our behavior, to undo the
stereotype images, to increase
people's understanding — we are
not sinful or evil — I accept the
basic tenets of the Christian faith.
Christ died for our sins, not our
sexuality. But a lot of people
refuse to accept this or
understand it. It would be nice if
they would learn to accept a
person as a person — and since
this is a college environment — it
would be nice, if they can't be
tolerant to be at least
knowledgable of certain facts and
statistics — such as one in six
people have a homosexual
experience and one in 10 practice
it. If that's the case, then if you
have 20 friends, odds are very
good that three have had a
homosexual experience of some
kind or another and two liked it
and stayed with it.

One could question the
fundamental sacredness of
human life. But such an inquiry
proves rhetorical at best.
We all for the
most part value our lives, and
those that don't weren't born not
valuing it; but learned it
through their environment. Thus,
a fetus, one could assume values
its life as much or more than the
bipod fetus' walking and
breathing daily. Empirically
there is proof. Jerome Lyiene has
experimented with 2 month (the
size of a thumb) old fetus' and
found they react quite violently to
harmful stimuli and likewise
fondly to pleasant stimuli. As he
wrote in "A Very Neat
Beginning."
"to accept the fact that after
fertilization has taken place, a
new human has come into being,
is no longer a matter of taste an
opinion. The human nature of the
human being from conception to
old age is not a metaphysical
contention, it is plain
experimental evidence."

Longwood Signs Agreement With German College
Longwood College has taken a
first step toward developing "a
global consciousness," one of the
goals outlined by President Janet
Greenwood in her inaugural
address last April.
After sessions of exploration
and discovery on both sides of the
Atlantic, Longwood has entered
into an official "agreement of
partnership" with the
Fachhochschule f uer Sozialarbeit
und Sozialpaedagogik (Technical
College for Social Work and
Social Work Education) in West
Berlin. It is the oldest school of
social work in Europe.
The agreement, signed by
President Greenwood and Hans-
Jochen Brauns, Rektor of the
F.H.S.S., states that the two
institutions "having found that
they share many educational
goals, visions, and problems
declare themselves to be partner
institutions and undertake to seek
appropriate means to develop
and deepen their relationship."
The goals of the partnership
include four "areas of mutual
concern": international and
intercultural understanding;
curricular and program
development; applications of
technology in human-service
delivery; and personal and
professional development.
The F.H.S.S. has a faculty of
approximately 50 professors and
a student body drawn from
Berlin, West Germany and
throughout Europe. The students
complete six semesters of
classwork and a two-semester
practicum. They must then pass
a state examination to be
certified in their profession.
Fields of specialization at the
F.H.S.S. include social work,
social research, social medicine,
social work education and
educational media, and social
psychology and law.
Initial contacts -leading to the
partnership agreement were
made last summer by Dr.
Michael Haltzel, Longwood's vice
president for academic affairs,
during his stay in Hamburg and
Berlin as a member of an
American Young Leaders
delegation invited by the Haus
Rissen International Institute for
Politics and Economics and the
West German Foreign Office.
To identify potential partners
among German institutions of
higher learning. Dr. Haltzel
spoke with the executive director
of the Fulbright Commission in
West Germany (Haltzel was a
member of that conunission from
1976-78) and with government
officials he knew there. They
suggested that he contact David
Kramer, an American who is
Prorektor (dean) of the F.H.S.S.
"Dr. Kramer and I met and
decided that the partnership idea
was worth pursuing," Dr. Haltzel
said. "I learned that Dr. Kramer
would be in the United States in
August, so I invited him to come

(Prorektor of the F.H.S.S.), Dr. Michael Haltzel, and George
Stonikinis.
Private Funds Emphasized
The need for private funds for
faculty support was emphasized
by Longwood President Janet
Greenwood at a meeting
November 19 of the Longwood
College Foundation Board of
Directors.
This support, she said, must
include funds for faculty salaries,
merit increases, and faculty
development.
President Greenwood also
stressed the need for student
scholarships to "fill the gap"
between rising costs and
decreasing financial aid.
The third priority for the
immediate future, she said, is "to
continue to examine approaches"
for the development of the
Longwood Fine Arts Center. One
of the possibilities under
consideration is the conversion
of the old Prince Edward County
High School building, now owned
by the Foundation, into a fine arts
center.
Reports to the Foundation
directors from Donald L. Lemish,
Longwood's Vice President for
Institutional Advancement,
indicated that total private
support to the college in fiscal
year 1981-82 reached a record
$670,655.
Included in this amount was
more than $450,000 from the
Nellie Ward Nance testamentary
trust. Income from this trust will
provide some 35 scholarships
annually of approximately $1,200
each.
Alumni giving during the past
fiscal year also set a new record,
with gifts received from 27.4
percent of all alumni solicited.
"This is a great step forward in
our five-year goal to reach 30
percent alumni participation in
the annual fund," Lemish said.
"In 1980-81, just over 20 percent
of Longwood alumni made
contributions. This past fiscal -
year we solicited 11,559 alumni
and received 3,168 contributions
totaling $62,039.
"Equally encouraging was the
better than 86 percent donor
participation of all Longwood
faculty and staff," Lemish said.
Non-alumni donors, including
parents, contributed $65,298 in
1981-82. Ninety-one gifts were
matched by corporations for a
total of $5,175.
Total annual fund giving to
Longwood in 1981-82 ($193,036)
was up 13.2 percent, or $22,549
more than the previous fiscal
year.
The Foundation directors
approved a policy and guidelines
on fund raising and guidelines on
Foundation funds expenditures.
At a dinner Friday evening, six
former directors were recognized
for their service to the Longwood
Foundation. Those honored
were: Mrs. Raymond M. Brown,
Jr. of Hampton; Frank B. Hurt of
Ferrum; William H. King of
Burkeville; George R. Bristol of
Roanoke (former director and
executive secretary); Andre
Nielsen of Richmond; and James
B. Bourne, Jr. of Sandston.
to Longwood for a two-day visit."
On the Longwood campus. Dr.
Kramer talked with President
Greenwood, Dr. Haltzel, George
Stonikinis (Head of the Social
Work department). Dr. Geoffrey
Orth (Assistant Professor of
German), and other faculty
members and students.
"The whole thing just seemed
to click," Stonikinis said. "Dr.
Kramer is particularly interested
in the way we are redefining the
human services, and the ways
that high technology can enhance
the quality of living."
Since the partnership has
become reality, Stonikinis has
been invited to write an essay on
Longwood's social work program
and the use of computerized
evaluation in social work
education. His paper, along with
articles by Dr. Kramer and
contributors from Sweden,
Norway, England, France, and
India, will be included in a book
on international problems in
social work education.
Dr. Haltzel has been invited to
lecture at the F.H.S.S. as soon as
a mutually agreeable schedule
can be worked out. Other faculty
and staff exchanges are being
considered.
Both Stonikinis and Dr. Orth
are looking forward to
implementing a student
exchange program between the
two colleges. "We hope to bring
some F.H.S.S. students to
Longwood to spend perhaps a
semester," Orth said. "This will
give them exposure to the social
work profession in America, and
they could assist our language
studies as tutors or
instructional assistants in the
language labs."
Longwood students might
perform the same functions and
receive the same benefits by
spending a semester at the
F.H.S.S. "The presence of
exchange students on the two
campuses will enrich student
diversity and help establish a
cosmopolitan perspective,"
Stonikinis said.
A major goal in planning the
student exchanges is "to make
them affordable," Orth said.
The partnership also provides
opportunities for "consultative
exchanges" in a number of
learning areas, as well as the
exchange of information on
professional social work practice
and training, curriculum and
instructional design approaches,
and internship processes and
models.
Longwood officials point out
that West Germany and the U.S.
share a number of societal
problems and challenges,
including unemployment, a
growing geriatric population,
relations among ethnic groups,
and computer-based economic
systems.
These similarities between the
two countries "offer a unique
opportunity for interchange."
The F.H.S.S. has a partnership
arrangement with one other
American university, the State
University of New York at Stony
Brook, and with universities in
England, Northern Ireland,
France, and Turkey.
Dr. Haltzel hopes that this first
partnership between Longwood
and a foreign university will
"lead the way to similar
arrangements with other
universities in Europe."
President Greenwood made some
initial contacts with institutions
in France and Spain during her
visits there last month.
"It's all part of what we are
trying to develop," Dr. Haltzel
said, "and that's the
internationalization of Longwood
College."

Your Turn
TUKN
At 10:00 o'clock on November
10, a fifty-six hour name reading
vigil began in a small chapel at
the Washington Cathedral. It was
a dreary Wednesday with cold,
freezing rain and as the list of the
dead or missing was read the
Vietnam Memorial began filling
with name seekers and veterans,
their eyes roaming the wailing
wall for friends, relatives or
comrades.
It was in all respects a somber
occasion. From the black
monument sunk below the
ground, like a vast marked
grave, to the veterans, crippled
and whole, scanning the desolate
scene — some with a feeling of
relief at final official recognition,
others bitter at the political
metaphor which seemed to
emanate from Maya Ying Lin's
design: a national scar — they
fought for nothing.
UPI captured the moment
perfectly in a black and white
photograph of Fred Strother, a
1966 Marine in Vietnam. His
amputated leg, two crutches and
wide brimmed hat poised above
the camera parallel to the wall
and in the background a mother's
bowed figure veiled in black, told
better than any threnody could
have, the cost of this war —
death.
And that is how it should be. A
simple moment — sans
movement — that equates war
with the only thing it can truly
represent — death. Of course,
there are those who would try to
fix it, who would try to eradicate
Vietnam, or America's attitude
towards Vietnam — the 'Vietnam
Syndrome,' as it were — from the
quagmire of guilt and remorse
over feelings that the veterans
have died for nothing or worse,
for an unjust cause — which they
did. But this takes nothing away
from the sacrifice the veterans
made for what they perceived as
duties. What does take away
from the solemnity and final -
honesty of the occasion are the
attempts to distort the truth.
Mr. Reagan managed to per-
vert the ceremonies by one of
his usual prevarications: "These
are men who died for freedom
just as surely as any men who
fought for this country . . . The
tragedy was they were asked to
fight and die for a cause that their
country was unwilling to win."
And later at noon on the last of
the four-day salute, U.S. F-4 jets
and four combat helicopters flew
over a startled audience and
streamed onward above
Indepencence Avenue — leaving
a memorial statement in their
vapor trails — might makes
right.
The tragedy of Vietnam was
not that it was an error in
judgment, or a cause the U.S. felt
unwilling to win. It was a
political, social and moral evil for
which the U.S. bears full
responsibility. The 'Vietnam
Syndrome, as political theorists
like to refer to it, is the American
people's realization that, yes, it
was unjustifiable and, yes, no
country, not even saintly U.S.A.
has any right to impose its will on
another sovereign nation —
which is what happened in
Vietnam.
Joseph Gatins served in
Vietnam from May 1969 to April
1970. His candid statements
concerning the monument and
what was affirmed by it, should, I
think, remain alive in our
memories individually and as a
nation.
— We affirmed that we went
when called, while the majority
of our contemporaries honored
their consciences in defferent,
escape or solemn protest.
— We affirmed that secret
shame that we once felt furtively
relieved when those other guys,
not us, got shot full of holes.
— We affirmed too, that we
had once grooved on the
awesome firepower of a howitzer
and fragmentation grenades and
flechette rounds and rumbling B-
52 raids that sowed gore
countrywide •
— We affirmed that we had
often cheated death by glorifying
it — taken with defiant glee,
thousands of snapshots of the -
mangled corpses that we left
behind in the tree lines, the rice
paddies and bomb craters.
— We came here and
poignantly affirmed the past.
It is not a matter of opening an
old wound, but rather, cleansing
it of sophistry and hypocrisy and
letting the scar remain,
unbandaged with lies and
distortions. We can read in it our
own failings and our need for
reform.
As the elevator opens on the
first floor, I see a young man
passionately embracing the
favors of a very generous young
lady, finalizing the whole event
with a rather lengthy meeting of
the lips. "Excuse me," I reply.
But why must I excuse myself? I
immediately feel like an
intruder, even a voyeur. After all,
it was not by my choice that I
became subjected to this public
display of affection. PDA, as it is
called, eradicates the position
Mr. Joe Johnson:
As a fellow member of the
"press," I find your recent art-
icle "Running Scared" a prime
example of irresponsible
journalism and unnecessary
media hype. Not only were the
events described old news, but by
being concerned with one
individual's account, you have
Last week's front-page article,
based on an interview with a
male homosexual student, could
be interpreted to mean that the
administration is "100 percent
supportive" of a gay movement
on campus. Such an
interpretation would be
incorrect.
The student interviewed in the
article had met earlier with
President Greenwood, the Vice
President for Student Affairs,
and me. At the meeting, the
student made one request. He
wanted us to print an item in the
"Campus Bulletin" announcing
the date and time for a meeting of
gay students. We indicated that
we would print the item only if his

that he had the legal right to do
so, but that he had to follow the
procedures, rules, and
regulations that applied to the
formation of any campus

encourage him to start a group;
we informed him of his legal right

interpreted as "being

The article also quotes him as

confines of public view. This
however is not the case in point.

saying that such an organization
"could pull in as many as 325
participants or about 13 percent
of Longwood's population." When
we met with the student, we
specifically asked him how many
homosexuals he thought were at
Longwood. He replied that he
knew of only three or four, but
assumed there were more. We do
not know how he arrived at the
325 figure a day later.
While there are many other
disturbing aspects to the article, I
especially wanted to clarify these
misleading statements.
H. Donald Winkler
Director of Public Affairs
Longwood College
EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Winkler did not read closely, apparently. Walt was quoted as saying the
the Administration was "100 percent supportive" in helping with the harrassment incidents, as in-
deed those involved were. The actual quote in reference to the Administrative support for the for-
mation of L.D.G.S. is that those approached "seemed supportive of the idea." Mr. Winkler was not
one of those approached; Walt went to him only in regards to the Campus Bulletin notice.
"Running Scared" has created
quite a stir.
Some R.O.T.C. members felt
slandered. To set the record
straight, my suitemate reacted to
something foreign to him as an
individual; Other R.O.T.C.
members were helpful in calming
the situation down. A reasonable
solution was reached, which has
been honoured. The R.O.T.C.
shouldn't be stereotyped by his
initial reaction. All stereotyping
is wrong.
Some get the impression that
the dorm staff did nothing during
the incidents. They did all they
•••••••••
could to help, but the paperwork
takes time so I went to the
Administration as a stopgap
measure.
The figures warrant
explanation. About 10 percent of
the U.S. population is Gay. Most
male homosexuals are from
white middle class families, as
are most males on this campus.
Longwood's Lesbian reputation is
well known; a 1975 Playboy
article ranked Longwood among
the top ten Gay schools in the U.S.
Therefore Longwood is probably
higher than the national 10
percent average. No
administrator I've spoken with
has disputed the 13-16 per cent
estimate, and some students and
faculty say it should be higher.
Hence the estimate of over 300
Gays here.
L.D.G.S. has been granted use
of L.C. Box 1101, since most Gays
don't want to be oublicly known
and a shared box may risk a
member's privacy being
violated. Virtually all
of the Administrators I've spoken
with have been helpful. If
L.D.G.S. eventually tries to
become official, the
Administration won't block it like
other colleges have; They believe
in human rights here.
"Wait"
To Walt,
If you ever read the Bible, the
source of the basic tenets of
Christianity, you would know that
homosexuality is a sin. What do
you think Sodom and Gomorrah
was all about? So don't use the
grace of Jesus Christ as a
rationalization for your sin but
rather repent and ask to be of His offenders nor thieves nor the
fold
"Do you not know that the
wicked will not inherit the king-
dom of God! Do not be deceived!
Neither the sexually immoral nor
idolators nor adulterers nor male
prostitutes nor homosexual
greedy nor drunkards nor
slanderers nor swindlers will in-
herit the kingdom of God." I

As a consequence of the recent
death of Soviet Prennier Leonid
Brezhnev, one would expect the
party leaders to simply dip in to
the clone pool and pick . out
another leader of exactly the
same ideals, sort of like how Tom
l^ndry picks quarterbacks. But
Yuri Andropov, the new head of
the country, is not quite the
Brezhnev worshipper that would
have been required to keep the
country on its stagnant course.
Naturally, one can't expect the
Soviet Union to change too much,
but with Andropov will come a
wave of new government officials
eager to oust many old,
ineffective ones who are only in
power because Brezhnev was
nice enough to allow them to stay.
Indeed, the mere replacement of
Brezhnev, who had been so sickly
as to be nonfunctional half the
time, with Andropov, who has
proven himself to be a
methodical and effective ruler as
former chief of the K.G.B., will at
least give other nations a valid
representative to work with. It is
expected that this change will
take place throughout the Soviet
Government in the next few
years.

Your Turn
Virginia recently elected a new
U.S. Senator. Now is the time to
let Paul Trible know where
Virginia stands on the nuclear
freeze.
Senators Ted Kennedy and
Mark Hatfield have co-sponsored
a resolution calling for a nuclear
freeze between the U.S. and the
Soviet Union. The Kennedy-
Hatfield resolution calls for a
mutual freeze on nuclear
weapons and their delivery
systems (missiles, bombers, and
submarines).
Under the agreement, neither
side would be allowed to increase
the size of its nuclear arsenal.
Existing weapons or delivery
systems could be replaced on a
one to one basis. The testing of
either would be banned outright.
Most Americans are concerned
about verification of an arms
control agreement. The Kennedy-
Hatfield resolution would require
verification through satellite
reconnaissance and other
intelligence means. Experts
favoring the bill agree that any
major violation by the Soviets
would be detected. The resolution
would also provide incentives for
each side to reduce their biggest
and most accurate weapons.
These are land based missiles
(ICBMs).
The Kennedy-Hatfield
resolution is the best arms
control bill to date. Adoption of
this measure can reduce the
chances of nuclear war ever
becoming a reality. It is
something every Virginian
should be for.

goalkeeper Brian Sprinkle
(Olney, MD), midfielder Bill
Foster (Newport News), back
Darryl Case (Cincinnati, OH)
and forward Tim Brennan (North

Leading vote-getter on the
team was Brennan who scored 14

finest season in history. Brennan Lynchburg.
has 31 career goals.
Sprinkle limited Longwood foes
to one goal per game, giving up
just 15 goals in 15 games. The
sophomore standout also had six
shutouts for the season, a school
record for both career and
season. He had nine saves in the
Foster, a junior, had four
assists and one goal for the
Lancers but was especially
effective with ball control in the
midfield area. Case had four
goals for Longwood and was a
standout on defense. All four
Lancer hooters will be back next
season.
Karen Savarese (Trumbull, Ct.)
contributed eight points, forward
Bev Powell (Silver Spring, Md.)
had seven and Mariana Johnson
(Farmville) and Barbara
DeGraff (Stanhope, N.J. ) had six
points each.
Johnson added 10 rebounds.
Holmes nine and DeGraff seven.
Junior guard Robin Powell
(Silver Spring, Md.) played well
with five steals, three assists and
two blocks in addition to four
points. Longwood played without
forward Valerie Turner
(Richmond) who was injured.
"Our pressure in the second
half made the difference," said
Coach Miller. "Pressure! That's
our game. When we began to
double team and trap that's when
we got going. I thought Karen
(Savarese) played well despite
her sprained ankle."
Miller also praised Johnson for
her rebounding and defense and
Robin Powell for her leadership
from the point.
Miller also cited a group of
players who came off the bench
in the first half and got Longwood
back into the game.
The Lady Lancers had fallen
behind 22-12 when Miller
replaced her starting five. Cindy
Eckel (S. Plainfield, N.J.) came
in and scored three points,
DeGraff had a bucket inside,
guard Amy Cook (Verona) hit
from outside and Bev Powell

Wegener Speaks At Wygal
By NANCY PASCHALL
Longwood was honored by the
presence of Ambassador Henning
Wegener of the Federal Republic
of Germany (West Germany)
who spoke on "A European
Perspective of Disarmament"
December 1 at 8 p.m. in the
Wygal recital hall.
The ambassador, a
distinguished looking man, who
spoke fluently and clearly,
opened with the European
perspective on disarmament
saying that it is a vital subject
that must be dealt with, yet a
vastly comphcated one. A well-
made point was revealed when he
said each country views the
world differently. We in the
United States see the world from
an island point of view, and view
Europe as separate from Asia,
when in fact, it is not. This cannot
help but influence the perspective
each country has.
As conscious as America is of
the U.S.S.R., we here cannot feel
the same intensity of threat as
Eurasia does, simply due to the
proximity of the Soviet bloc to the
Eurasian countries. As a
spokesman for the FRG, he feels
that his country can no longer
hide under the nuclear umbrella
of protection provided by the
United States and other NATO-
pact countries.
Ambassador Wegener
suggested a three-pronged view
of a security relationship. The
first step is that of a credible
defense system. We must have
the means to defend ourselves
and they must pose a realistic
threat to any opposing nation.
Secondly, we must continue to
negotiate toward disarmament,
and, thirdly, we must all
cooperate.
"Disarmament, what it is all
about, is lowering the level of
nuclear weapons with a balance
between the two military blocs."
Currently, embalance in the
relationships is being per-
petuated by both blocs. What
is needed is a forceful arms
policy with the aim of balance,
both global and regional. Any
disarmament policy must
emenate from the most powerful
country."
Wegener, a representative to -"
the Committee on Disarmament,
a committee of the U.N.,
headquartered in Geneva, said
that they had set as their goal
world peace, which is, in fact,
in their charter. Only through
disarmament can world peace be
attained. The United Nations is
not the body in which treaties
concerning the actual dismant-
ling should take precedent;
instead, agreements within the
United Nations should only set a
basis for further discussions
between individual nations
In Geneva at this time there
are several proposals being
worked on in an area comparable
mmmm
m
to nuclear disarmament, that of
chemical bans. There is work
being done in the area of a total
ban on chemical weapons. This is
of particular concern now
considering the Soviets' use of
chemical warfare in
Afghanistan, Cambodia and
Laos. A similar proposal is that of
a ban on production and storage
of chemical weapons and also
a proposal banning those
chemicals which have the
potential to change the
environment. He then left the
topic of chemical warfare and
began talking of the technical
obstacles facing disarmament.
The first problem lies in the
validity and reliability of data
collection. Even with the best
approximations, we never know
precisely which side has what or
in what quantity,
Wegener attributed this
primarily to the U.S.S.R.'s
refusal to provide information.
This, in Wegener's eyes, is
primarily due to their own fear
and "because of the inborn
secretive urges which
dictatorships share."
"Surveillance also provides a
problem. How are we to know
what has been reduced, and by
how much if we don't know how
many they had in the first place. "
How, in other words, do we
determine when a balance has
been reached?
He then mentioned that the

No Fear and Loathing on The Campaign Trail
By MIKE LYNCH
What if there was an electicMi
and nobody won? (I've heard that
somewhere before.) That was not
the case at Longwood this year,
but one thing is for certain.
Nobody else won. Out of the 20
posts offered to candidates for
last weeks JGA Major-Minor
elections, only two (lAA
Chairman and Campus Life
Chairman) were not taken
unopposed. Equally obysmal is
the voter total of 234 or slightly
less than ten percent of the
student body. And out of those
faithful, even fewer knew what
was going on as some showed by
making mistaken on their ballots.
Election officials stated that
some people, when voting for the
two opposed offices, checked both
names and even more ignored
introduction on the Honor Board
Senators positions allowing the
person to check a space only if
he is a member of the class of the
candidate. Some people asked
what the difference was between
a major and minor office. Many
observed the candidates positions
posted at the polling spot and
merely walked away.
The number one cause of both
problems as usual, is general
apathy. The students don't know
about the S.G.A. and they do not
really care to know. Apathy has
been quite the vogue lately at
Longwood but nowhere is it more
apparent then in election results.
Lisa Swackhammer, chairperson
of this years election conmiittee,
said that "the last two major-
minors, about the top four or five
positions went unopposed, or
there were just two people
running."
"It just seems like a waste of
time" said one non-voter. "I don't
see the results of what they do
and I didn't really know any of
them". This is not just an isolated
example of student opinions. It is
practically the norm. People
either don't know who the
candidates are or they believe
that they are all of the same
types; brownnoses, people who
snuggle up to the administration
and ultimately refuse to go
against them.
But this year the accusations
have become even uglier than
that, to a situation in which three
candidates were allowed to
submit petitions for office after
the November 23rd deadline.
What ensued was typical
Longwood. One of the candidates,
Derick Wolfe, originally wanted
to run for president, but was
informed that since his petition
was turned in late, he could only
run for an uncontested position.
He chose Residence Hall Life
Chairman and won it unopposed.
Tom Cumber was content to run
for an uncontested position from
the start and chose Campus Life
Chairman, the only uncontested
United States now has a proposal
in front of the Geneva Conference
calling for the reduction of
warheads and launchers.
Returning to technical ob-
stacles, which he spoke exten-
sivley on, he said we need on-site
inspectors, in other words,
inspectors to determine whether
factories are or are not producing
nuclear arms. He believes
satellites to be effective only in
some circumstances, and
worthless in others, such as the
detection of chemicals. "Without
such inspectors, who knows?"
Wegener seems to feel it would
not be fair to the parties under
the treaty for them to have to be
inspected while others were not
required to be so. tie men
mentioned two prohibitors of
peace: Dual ammunitions (those
which can either be armed
conventionally or nuclearly), and
the domain of outer space.
Another, similar, topic area he
discussed was that of science
technology. A valid point was
that science moves so fast that
the international negotiations are
always behind. Wegener also
believes there is not enough to the
international community as a
whole.
He says the outer space is of
prime concern, a point he had
mentioned earlier. "The
international community may
find a new domain beyond repair
because of the time lag versus
scientific progress."
Wegener then branched out
again and began to speak on the
technicality of the whole
disarmament process. He said,
"The maze of technological
information is highly complex
and causes much confusion in the
political mind. The most impor-
tant problem is public opinion in
the free countries concerning
disarmament negotiations tend
to separate themselves from the
masses."

Installment Reading
At Longwood
By LAURIE MITCHELL
Anyone who has passed
through the Rotunda on his or her
way to classes or to the dining
hall may have noticed a glass
case display. In Lancaster
Library, directly across from the
circulation desk on the main floor
are two displays. In the former
display are facsimiles of 19th
century books written by Charles
Dickens. In the latter displays
are the original copies of books
by Dickens and William Make-
piece Thackeray.
During the 19th century, books
were written in parts called
installments, usually with twenty
installments making a complete
book. Each installment was
about thirty-two pages in length
with two full page ad-
vertisements in the front of the
book. The cover designs and
illustrations were used to suggest
the nature of the story printed
within. By writing a book in this
way, the reader's interest was
held longer because he or she
would want to find out what was
to happen and the only way to
find out was to wait until the next
installment was published.
This concept of reading has
come to Longwood College
through the work of Dr. Michael
Lund, Assistant Professor of
English. The displayed books
were obtained through the
Longwood Foundation and the
combined efforts of Dr. Don
Lemish, Vice President for
Institutional Advancement and
Dr. Lund. About six years ago Dr.
Lund began trying to recreate
this 19th century way of reading
books. "Every year that I've
used this approach, the benefits
have increased. The students
really seem to enjoy reading
more." He also commented that
students often get turned off
when they have an assignment to
read an entire book by the next
class period. The way this
approach is used in the classroom
is a certain number of pages in a
novel are assigned and the
students should not proceed pa«rt
this point until they are
instructed. At the next class
meeting, the assigned portion is
discussed and the next
installment is given.

ByLIZD'SURNEY
"I was being robbed. The
tables turned and I beat up a guy.
I hit him with a two by four. He
died from my blows an hour and a
half later."
This rather nonchallant
statement came from a 28 year
old man presently on parole for
the next 6 months. Just recently
released from the State
Penitentiary, he is currently
employed at Longwood College.
"I served time for 8 years.
Right now I'm on mandatory
parole for the next 6 months.
During this time I'm required to
check in with my parole officer
once a month," he said. Shifting
in his chair he continues, "I also
have traveling restrictions.
There are only 5 counties I can
enter into freely. I can't go
outside of any of them without
special permission."
Speaking graphically of life in
the pen, this young man talks
freely of the time he served. "The
scener>- it ( the pen ) puts out for
people is deceiving. The lifestyle
is totally different than what you
After 8 Years - Still On Guard
see. We're in a forced sit- payday and we were waiting in

types of people. . . from 14-40 years smoking habit I make sure I have
of age, junkies, handi-
capped...everyone from
different marks of life are put
together... from the naive country
boy to the city slicker."
According to this parolee,
weapons are common among
prisoners, especially knives. A
man can earn one of two types of
respect for himself. This depends
on whether he fights with a
weapon or just with his hands
physically. Rubbing his upper lip
he pauses, then says, "People I
didn't like, I stayed out of their
way and they stayed out of mine.
If not, the result may be physical
violence. If you were caught, you
were put into what they call
isolation. We call it jail. The only
things they give you are a Bible
and legal material."
Recalling one particular
incident that occurred between
him and another inmate, the man
described it intensely. "It was
One Act
Directors Reviewed
By LINDA SAUVE
The series of six one acts
presented Dec. 1-4 were an
experiment in educational
theater which yielded successful
results. The one acts were
directed by students as projects
for the Department's directing
class. All of the plays were well
directed with one exception. In
••Picnic in the Battle Field" the
actors appeared to be struggling
too much with the show itself and
this was the result of an obvious
lack in their direction. The
director did not adequately
define the characters for the
actors and left them grasping at
straws, which consequently
resulied in an undeveloped and
unbelievable performance.

and "Miss Doris Anderson" all

complimented their directors.

leading roles, were exceptional.

characters needed more
development.
The difficulties in presenting
three separate shows in a two and
a half hour period are immense.
There is a separate set and
different lighting involved with
each show. The set used in the
productions was simple and basic
black which each director used to
create his own scene. The correct
props were set and replaced for
each one act with speed and
accuracy. The lighting was also
standard for each show. But in
"Miss Doris Anderson" its
creative use added an
atmosphere that complimented
this one act.
Directing is an involved and
often thankless job.
As an actor one is only
responsible for his character as
directors, these students, took the
responsibility of all actors, set

Liquor to the Lips
Reported by Leigh Ann Lilly
Written by Paul Kennedy
In a move certain to stimulate
this town's economy, a majority
of Farmville voters voted yes on
the Nov. 2 public referendum,
allowing the sale of liquor by the
drink in restaurants meeting
local ordinances.
Neither the bevy of rules
governing liquor sale, nor the
heavy license fee have
discouraged the owners of
several local establishments
from applying for liquor licenses.
The Steer hopes to begin selling
mixed drinks by Dec. 19. The
Pioneer Inn, The Royal Garden,
Cedar Brook, and Perini's have
also appUed, although Mr. Perini
concedes "the chances are slim"
he'll qualify. The Red Lyon has
not applied, nor has it any
inunediate plans to reopen.
Students returning from
Christmas break should find life
in Farmville somewhat more
tolerable. Here's to you
Farmville voters!
plenty of cigarettes. That day I
had 3 or 4 left. I don't mine giving
one away if I have one, but then I
had just enough to get me
through. This guy asked me for
one and I turned him down. He
got mad and I ignored him and
walked off." He fiddles with the
patch on his jeans, and pauses,
then continues. "Later I was
taking a shower and the same
guy comes in there and starts
getting nasty. He lunges forward
like he is going to do something. I
slip out of my flip flops, you need
them to keep the fungus from
eating your feet up, then sure
enough, he hit me. I caught him
sitting down and grabbed a hand
full of hair and started hitting his
head against the porcelin sink.
When his knees started buckling,
I let him go but he was not
bleeding."
He becomes more serious
explaining, "When you walk
away from someone in there,
you've got to be careful how you
do it. Someone could pull a shank
out on you that is two feet long.
These things never get reported.
Some are too scared to say
anything, it's their way of life to
keep their mouth shut... others
see it and don't say anything. I
tend to keep my mouth shut.
That's the reason I came out of
there alive."
While in the pen, the parolee
went to college for a year and a
half and studied sociology and
psychology and also became
certified as a heavy equipment
operator. He got married in the
pen to a woman he had known for
a while. Plans to further his
education and become a well-
rounded mechanic and open a
business are in the future.
An interest in working with
juveniles is another area he
would like to pursue. He said, "I
would like to see if I can't help
some kid from making the same
mistake I made. I want to go
where it will do the most good."
He takes a drink then continues,
"People with textbook know how-
may be vastly superior to me
education wise, but there's one
thing I can do that they can't. I
can make the child
understand... I've been there. ..I
know what's going through his
head."
He pulls out his wallet and
withdraws a yellowed newspaper
article. He holds it saying, "This
is me, I sure have changed. My
main objective to life is to
associate with only a few of the
people I know. For the most part,
I want to be left alone and leave
well enough alone. I want to enjoy
being with my wife and raising a
family. I could care less what
Reagan does or any other
politician. I've done my time and
paid my debt."

Expectations, Thackeray's
Vanity Fair, Tolstoy's War and
Peace, Conrad's Lord Jim, etc.
have been presented to Longwood
College students in this 19th
century manner. Longwood
College's approach to teaching
these classics have raised
enthusiastic responses from
teachers and scholars at other
institutions.
Dr. Lund is very excited about
the project and he says the books
obtained so far are the first steps
in starting a collection of 19th

hopefully the college will be
financially able to purchase more
of the original copies of these
classics.
Black Students' View
By DORA ANN DANIEL Actually, I don't find Longwood unhealthy. I really don't know
Longwood College opened its as prejudiced as Virginia Tech." how a person can live with
Madeline Taylor, also a transfer himself knowing that the only
doors to black students about
thirteen years ago. Since then,
many adjustments have been
made by both black and white
students alike. What is it like to
be a black student at Longwood?
Sandra Hicks, a junior and
President of the Afro American
Student Alliance, the major black
Organization on Longwood's
campus, says it isn't easy. "The
only thing Longwood has to offer
is an education. There's no social
life for black students. I found the
only way to cope is to get involved
in as many activities as
possible." Sandra, in addition to
being president of the AASA, is a
Longwood Ambassador, a
Resident Assistant in Main
Cunningham Dormitory and the
Treasurer of the Student Member
Section of the Junior Home
Economics Assotiation of
Virginia. When asked if she
thought Longwood was
prejudiced, Sandra replied,
"there still exists a great deal of
prejudice at Longwood although
not verbally expressed. As an
R.A. I haven't had any real
problems, just minor incidents."
Prejudice at Longwood has
been a major issue since black
students began attending the
college. After talking with many

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, December 7, 1982
TukN
There is nothing like the threat
of Nuclear Holocaust to bring
folks together. People from all
walks of life (students, bishops,
ambassadors, alcoholics,
senators, professors, to name a
few) commune to discuss, with
the appropriate attitude of moral
vindication and intellectual
insight this issue of the eighties.
The chic sophisticate with an ear
finely tuned to la vogue, dwells,
with thoughtful nods, on the
ultimate destruction of our dear
sweet planet. Such comments as
"We can destroy the world 30
times over, this is madness!"
have become as cUche as moon
unit's "Oh, gag me with a spoon."
Nationally, this is no doubt due
to Reagan's untimely push to get
the MX Missile through the
Senate Un which he succeeded
with a sweat wringing tie) and
the accompanying media blitz.
Locally, recent lectures by rather
conservative nucleocrats at
Longwood's campus such as
Senator John Warner's or
Ambassador of the Federal
Republic of Germany to the U.N.,
Henning Wegener's have led to
similar rampant discussions.
Now, I wholeheartedly applaud
such men of national and
international distinction taking
the time to come to Farmville,
U.S.A. in an attempt to increase
students' awareness on national
and international perspectives
concerning nuclear deterrence,
disarmament and-or holocaust.
But Longwood students have
received a shghtly distorted (and
wholly conservative) point of
view.
Both Warner and Wegener
began their talks with an a priori
premise — that there is a drastic
imbalance between the nuclear
arsenals of the U.S.A. and the U-
.S.S.R. This seemed peculiar, in
light of a recent C.B.S. news
report (granted not the most
reliable source of information)
which said that the current five
year defense budget is
approximately 1.6 trillion dollars.
That amounts to a 48 per cent
increase in defense spending over
the past five years and once this
is broken down to the grassroots
level — $2,600 per American
family. Rather odd, that we
should spend over seven percent
of our gross national product on
defense and still trail the Soviets
in nuclear armaments. So odd in
fact that once one does a bit of
research one finds it isn't true.
According to the Washington
based center for Defense
Information (an organization
consisting of retired military
officers acting as research ana-
lysts on U. S. defensive
capabilities) there are 30,000
nuclear weapons belonging to the
U.S., in total, and 20,000
belonging to the U.S.S.R. (Don't
you feel safer already?)
For the saKe ot statistics let's
break it down a bit. The U.S.
currently has 5000 nuclear armed
weapons on submarines, 3000 of
which are just off the Soviet
Union's coast. The Soviets have
1000 nuclear armed submarines
and keep 100 off the U.S. coast.
The U.S. has 400 jet propeUed
strategic bombers. The Soviets
have only 140; 100 of which are
propeller driven (i.e.,
substantially slower and more
vulnerable). In fact, the only
area the Soviets exceed the U.S.
in nuclear ability is in I.C.B.M.'s
(Intercontinental Ballistic Mis-
siles), 1398 to the U.S.S.R. and
1052 to the U.S.A.
Perhaps this difference of 346
ICBM's (hardly a dent in the
credible response strategy which
Wegener alluded to, considering
our sea and air superority) is
what led Reagan to propose the
perfect counter budget weapon —
the MX missile or
"Peacekeeper" (Johnny Carson
put that label in its proper place
with his glib "soon they'll rename
napalm 'crazy foam'.")
Let us assume hypothetically,
what Reagan would have us
assume as fact — that the ICBM's
are vulnerable to a first strike
and that the United States must
be certain that enough of its
ICBM's will survive to strike a
retaliating blow (remember we
are assuming that we have
neither an air nor sea nuclear
arsenal with which to retaliate ad
oblivion). Reagan contends that
his 100 MX missiles, carrying 10
warheads each with an explosive
yield of more than 30 times that of
the bomb that destroyed
Hiroshima, would, if deployed in
a manner known as "dense
pack," be defended from Soviet
missiles by the Soviet missiles
themselves. Supposedly, the first
exploding Soviet missiles would
create a nuclear hurricane which
would "knock" the other
incoming missiles off course,
allowing the surviving MX
missiles tucked safely in their
canisters, to come out like
knights in shining armor (96 tons
worth) and strike with a retalia-
tory coup de grace. This theory is
known in Cain and Abel tradition
as "fratricide."
Let us swallow, for a second,
the intellectual side of our nature
and assume that this theory is
plausible, and assume also that
the Soviets could take no counter
measures (such as beefing up the
warheads or practice what is
known as 'pin down' — that is
exploding a sufficient volume of
warheads above MX silos making
it impossible for the mighty MX
to get through). Let us also
swallow the ethical side of our
nature and not bother with the
idea that such new 'fixed silos'
are in violation of the SALT II
treaty which the Soviet Union
abides by, even though it was
never ratified in the U.S. (silly
idealism).
If we can assume all these
points without gagging on their
hypocritical moronities, there is
still one question which remains.
Why should we deploy a new
round of missiles, costing some
300 million dollars apiece? If
ICBM vulnerability is our main
concern (and so the jellybean
cowboy would have us believe)
why not base our prodigious
Minute Men Arsenal in dense
pack formation instead; and then
hope for the best. They would be
just as vulnerable or invulnerable
as the MX in their Cheyenne
wheat field silos and quite a
savings for the U.S. defense
budget to boot.
There is a fundamental fallacy
in logic or motive here. And
after reviewing Reagan's
statements concerning Soviet
superiority (not the content of »
such statements — which at best
leads to a jaded attitude of won-
dering when, exactly, our
President does tell the truth) and
media hype concerning this
issue, one can trace the broad
outlines of a spectre that retired
Rear Admiral La Rocque put into
words — the President wants to
"fight successfully a nuclear
war." But before being hung to
dry as impertinent radicals let's
qualify that statement — the
President (hopefully) wants to
give the appearance of being
ready and able to fight
successfully a nuclear war. And
for that motive the MX missile is
highly qualified — a first strike
weapon, par excellence, to put
the squeeze on the Russian bear
even tighter.
Reagan is sincere when he
maintains he needs to 'take' the
MX to the Geneva disarmament
conference. Such a weapon
(which will surely be seen by the
Soviets as offensive) is his
"bargaining" chip, an ace in
spades for the negotiation tables.
But bluffing (again, hopefully)
the Soviets with Moscow directed
missiles into a disarmament
agreement which may or may not
be fair (my opinion is Reagan
will settle for nothing less than
nuclear superiority, which
he has proven in his
defense policy thus far)
could well be prodding a
sleeping bear. One has to wonder
if the hands were switched and
the Soviets attempted such a
trump — would we not grasp for
an ace of our own and up the
"anti" accordingly? It is
ludicrous to think that the
U.S.S.R. will swallow all
nationalistic pride and be
blackmailed as it were, at the
negotiation tables. The result of
Reagan's (or Wegener's) Si Vis
Pacem Para bellum — if you
want peace prepare for war —
attitude,may be an expon entiai
escalation of the arms race.
If Reagan wants nuclear
superiority he has it now without
MX. If he wants bilateral
disarmament on equal levels he
should start behaving in a less
bellicose manner and in a more
statesmanlike one.
And if he wants a "successful"
nuclear war, well . . . para
bellum; para bellum.
Your Turn
Dr. Hyde?
At the close of this semester, I
am beginning to have doubts
about the educational value of
some of the classes being taught
at Longwood. As I understand it
the main purpose of higher
education is to prepare the
students for a job in a working
society. This, I assumed, would
entail hard work and
perserverance and I was sure
even with these attributes,
certain setbacks. But "to strive,
to seek ... etc ..." I was in short
ready for the worst. I was not
ready, however, for Dr. Helms'
American History class.
The first day of class I was
shocked to hear one student ask if
he really had a 75 per cent
failure rate! No, he said and
smiled only 65 per cent. But "to
strive, to seek . . . etc."
I failed his first test with a 33 —
a disaster. I took it in stride
though and shrugged off the
warnings of my friends who
called l^iim Dr. Hyde and said at
one time he had been on
probation. I studied about 15-17
hours for the second test and
thought that this would assure at
least a passing grade.
After the four weeks it took Dr.
Hebns to grade the tests he
handed them back. When I went
up to get my paper he laughed in
my face with his usual "I got
you" grin. I received a 0 on the
paper because it was written in
pencil. He suggested to one girl
who had failed that she take
Valiums if she was nervous
around him (which a lot of
students are). I am not
complaining as much about the
grade (which I realize was due, in
part, to my own carelessness),
but about his malicious attitude
towards the students. If he wishes
to fail students on a nit-picking
grading system that is his
privilege, no matter how counter-
productive it may be. What I do
object to is his treating students
as less than human. We pay
nearly $3500 tuition a year to have
the privilege to grow and learn in
environment conducive to
education. Dr. Helms, I think,
should become a part of that
environment.

During the question and

Wegener's lecture, Dr. Haltzel
made a sweeping reference to
Cyrus Vance's "generous"
disarmament proposals to the
U.S.S.R. in 1977. I suggest that
Carter's proposals (via Vance)
were specifically political in
nature and that he had no real
hopes of the Soviet Union's
accepting them. Carter's
proposals were first, a complete
departure from the Ford-

up to that time formed the base

hardly generous. The Soviets, If
they would have accepted the
proposals would have had to stop
deploying all SS-16 missiles while
the U.S. would have given up (at
that time) the only on paper MX.
The Soviets would also have
had to scrap half of their "heavy
weight" SS-9 and SS-18 missiles,
while the U.S. allotted Itself the
right to deep the debatably "non-
strategic" Cruise mlssUe. Both
sides would have been limited to

happens to be the exact number
the U.S. had in Its arsenal at that
time.

Papers At Penn,
Ten students and two faculty
from Longwood College
participated in The Pennsylvania
Sociological Society Annual
Meeting held at Millersville State
College, Millersville PA
November 12 and 13, 1982. Four of
the students, majors in the
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology, submitted papers
in the Student Paper
Competition. Two of them,
Robert G. Flippen and Susan
Stanley, were among the finalists
in that competition, and two,
Beth Licari and Carla Dee
Proffitt, were among the semi-
finalists. The students' papers
were the results of research
required in their sociology or
anthropology courses.
The Longwood students, and
the titles of their papers are:
Susan Stanley, "Handicapped
Services and Student
Volunteerism" ; Robert Flippen,
"Social Interaction at a Virginia
Mineral Springs Resort"; Dee
Proffitt, "Juvenile Delinquency
through the Eyes of an Intern";
and Beth Licari, "The
Integration of the Prince Edward
County School System". In
addition, Dr. Chet Ballard,

Federal Cut impact
on Farmville
By GEREE LYELL
Dr. Chester Ballard, associate
professor in Longwood's
S 0 c 1 0 1 0 K y - A n I h !• u p 0 1 0 g y
department, has recently been
granted monies by the college's
annual funding program to
research the effects of federal
budget cutbacks on the town of
Farmville.
Dr. Ballard commented: "We
had decided on a concentrated
area i Farmville), because of our
lack of manpower and because
our objective was to do a
■coniiiiunity wide portrait' of how
cutbacks affected all aspects of
life."
The year-long project was
started in August and has been
worked on daily since. Assisting
Dr. Ballard is senior, Keith
Lucas, a business major, and
Mrs Myma Ballard, also an
instructor in the sociology dept.
As the working researchers. Dr.
Ballard and his assistants have
also been aided by an advisory
committee consisting of eight
members of the area f.ovemment
and community.
"I feel that this research will be
a helpful thing to all of the
community," said Dr. Ballard.
"They will come together
because of the volunterrism
involved in the research
interviewing. I feel the reaction
of the townspeople so far has
been very favorable, they seem
excited about someone piecing
together both the positive and
negative aspects of federal
cutbacks."
The college executives are also
happy because Dr. Ballard's
project puts into action President
Greenwood's plans to get the
community more involved with
the college. Greenwood feels that
Ixingwood can be a resource for
the community and is
encouraging its involvement in
many projects.
As for the actual research, it
has been conducted in the form of
interviews (about 100), with both
Dr. Ballard and Keith Lucas
doing the interviewing. Each
specialized sector of the
conununity will have several
prominent people interviewed.
Areas such as town government,
industry, agriculture and
education will be covered. Each
of the 100 interviewees will
receive a copy of the final project
and it will also be sent to the other
communities.
In late October, Dr. Ballard
will be hosting a "Round Table"
discussion of the project at the
annual meeting of the
Association for Humanist
Sociology in Washington, D.C. He
said, "I'm very proud and
excited to be able to share my
work with other professionals
and hope that when fully
completed, our project will truly
be a success."
Longwood Supports
Farmville
By KENT BOOTY
Longwood College accounts for
nearly one-third of the Farmville
community's total business
volume, according to a student
survey.
Longwood's students, faculty
and staff contribute more than
$18 million annually — roughly 31
percent of the business volume —
to the local economy, the two-
year study by students of
economics professor Anthony B.
Cristo indicates.
Known simply as the "Impact
Study," it contains findings that
are the result of research by
students in three of Dr. Cristo's
classes. The study was recently
printed in the form of a 48-page
booklet.
"I think the students were
surprised by the results, but I
wasn't surprised very much,"
Dr. Cristo said. "I knew the
impact (of Longwood on the
community) would be that large.
The students were amazed. They
had no idea the impact would be
that much."
The idea for such a study was
first discussed in March 1979
during an Economic Seminar
class taught by Dr. Cristo. After
receiving approval by the
administration and funding from
the Longwood College
Foundation (to cover the
preparation and mailing of
questionnaires), the professor
and his students began
distributing surveys that Sep-
tember.
The surveys were distributed to
students, faculty and staff.
Originally, they also were
distributed to businesses, but this
phase had to be dropped since
merchants had difficulty in
determining what portion of their
income was directly attributable
to Longwood. The survey-takers
found that the information could
be obtained through other means.
The original survey had to be
revised. Dr. Cristo said, to ensure
more accurate data.
"The first year was trial and
error; the second year was the
finished product," he noted. "We
didn't get exactly what we
wanted in the first survey, so we
narrowed the brackets. It was
much easier to see the results in
the second survey."
The students had some outside
help. Dr. Kuldeep Tuma, another
economics professor, developed a
computer program to aid in
compiling the data. Robert
Hazlewood, Farmville town
treasurer, and the Piedmont
Planning Commission also
provided assistance.
The study details the College's
significant impact, both
economic and non-economic, on
the Farmville community.
Among its findings are:
— Longwood accounts for $3
million of the total business
property in the community.
— College-related bank
deposits account for over $1.4
million annually.
— Longwood contributed
approximately $1.3 million to the
revenues of the town of Farmville
and Prince Edward County.
— It is estimated that 927 jobs
— approximately one-third of all
jobs in Farmville and vicinity —
are directly attributable to
Longwood.
"The non-economic impact of
Longwood on the community is
equally significant," Dr. Cristo
said. "We found that a lot of
students, faculty and staff visit
Holly Manor nursing home, give
blood, work at the polls on
election day, and so on. I was
amazed at what the students do;
their activities make the
community richer."
Twenty students, all of whom
have since graduated, took part
in the study. The first student
chairman, David Wall, was
graduated in 1980; the second,
Mark Gagnon. in 1981; and the
third, Dallas Bradbury, this year.
"I had to appoint chairmen as
they graduated," he said.
The class that originated the
study also developed the market
basket survey, which is a
monthly survey of basic items in
local grocery stores. One of four
market basket surveys in
Virginia, it is the only one
conducted by students.
About 300 copies of the Impact
Study will be distributed to major
colleges and universities in the
Southeast, Dr. Cristo said. Copies
will also be distributed to
members of the Board of
Visitors, the Longwood College
Foundation and Longwood's
Lancaster Library.
"We're going to keep checks on
the economic impact," predicted
Dr. Cristo. "In three to five
y.ears, we'll look at the growth or
decline of Longwood and its
impact on Farmville. If I'm still
here, I'll certainly take part in
another survey."
Though the student survey-
takers are gone, they haven't
forgotten about their work. "The
students are anxious to get a
copy," Dr. Cristo said. "Their
interest in this project is
undying."

Renaissance
Dinner
By CINDY CORELL
"Pass the salt, please," asked
the younK girl sitting in the dining
hall. The gentleman beside her
held the salt beyond her reach
and looked at her expectantly.
The girl was puzzled for a
moment, then remembered. She
was not sitting in Longwood's D-
hall; instead she was a part of a
huge feast during a much earlier
century. In order for her to
receive the sodium chloride to
sprinkle on her food, she must
first kiss the male who offers it.
This is one of many medievil
customs brought back to life this
past weekend in Blackwell
Dining Hall as the Department of
Music presented the annual
Renaissance Christmas Dinner.
The members of the audience
enjoyed an evening of good food
and good fun. The Camerata
Singers, donned in costumes of
the period being represented,
performed many selections from
the 16th and 17th centuries in the
highly decorated Dining Hall.
The Hall was filled with the
beautiful colors of the costumes,
greenery, table settings, and
burning candles. The warmth of
the season filled the Hall,
bringing smiles, laughs,
spontaneous, applause and
standing ovations. The warmth in
the room came from a
combination of beautiful sound of
singing, the savory smell of well
prepared food and the courteous
hosts and servers.
(Continued from Page 1)
election day he found out that the
position actually was contested.
David Detimore had also applied
late and chose to run for Campus
Life Chairman, also which he
won.
And now to interpret the
questions that come out of all
this. Why, if David Detimore was
allowed to run for a contested
post, (Campus Life Against Tom
Cumber) was Derick Wolfe, not
allowed to run for contested post
(President against Trica
Boyle)? Ur conversely, why, if
Derick Wolfe and Tom Cumber
were allowed to run onlv for -
uncontested seats was David
Detimore allowed to run for a
contested one? And just who did
turn in his petition first?
Fetimore or Cumber?
So after the commercial break
of as-the SHA turns, we find that
Lisa Swackhammer, Chairman
of the Election Committee, has a
lot of nasty questions to answer.
Now Lisa is easily the hardest
working member of the SGA and
she was kind enough to write an
office statement to the Rotunda,
attempting to explain the
situation. She stated that "the
SGA felt that the open position
should be filled if possible and the
others left as is. In short, if you
suddenly found yourself with one
too many thoughtless deadline
missers as Lisa did, would you
run him against one of the
thoughtful deadline makers or
another thoughtless deadline
misser.
It would seem that Cumber
really has no cause to argue and
he was not bitter about that
aspect of the election. "That
doesn't bother me because I
came in late too". But one would
think that while the election
committee apparently has done
no wrong, they would have at
least told Cumber that he had
some competition.
The big problem is what about
next year. The general opinion of
complaintants this year is that
nublicitv was definitely lacking.
Both Cumber and Wolfe partially
blamed this fact for their failure
to turn in their petitions on time.
"I didn't know what dates the
petitions were due because that
was so obscure itself," stated
Wolfe. Conflicting accounts in
The Rotunda seem to have led
them astray as well as the lack of
other publicity. "I'm an R.A. and
usually I would get some kind of
flyer to post in my dorm. But I
received no flyers in the mail so I
didn't know when the petitions
were supposed to be in but I guess
they don't have to put up flyers

Student Thanks
I wish to take this opportunity
to thank the faculty and students
of Longwood for making my
semester here as a transfer
student, a most rewarding
experience. This fall I was most
proud to represent the college as
a finalist at the Pennsylvania
Sociological Conference and to
pursue my life's ambition in the
field of historical archeology.
Special thanks go to: the faculty
and staff of the Department of
Sociology and Authropology, for
their patience and tolerance; Dr.
James William Jordan, for his
guidance and inspiration during
my archeological internship;
Cindy Corell, for her in-depth
coverage of my project at
Hampden-Sydney; Donna Dix,
for chauffeuring me and my
workers to and from the site after
I was declared "unauthorized"
and the twenty-two student
volunteers who experienced the
drudgery and excitement of
archeological fieldwork.
It is with a heavy heart that I
leave my hometown and
Longwood to return to the
anonymity of Washington, D.C. to
complete my undergraduate
career at George Washington
University. I will, however, take
with me, memories that I shall
always cherish. Thank you.

To the Student Body:
Thanksgiving Day is over for
this year, but it is my belief that
gratefulness is never out of date.
For two and a half hours each
Tuesday evening this fall it has
been my delight to attend a class
in "Creative Writing,"
instructor: Mr. Douglas I have
enjoyed the times listening to,
talking with and exchanging of
ideas with the sixteen young
adults in the class. Mr. Douglas
has stretched our minds, whetted
our imagination and led us into
creating that that we never knew
was in us.
The two ladies on the desk in
the 'Rotunda', Mrs. Clark and
Mrs. Ransom have invited me
into their office and shared
talking time with me each
evening while I waited for my son
to come from his class. For this
special friendliness I am saying a
special "thanks".
Ones impressions about a place
are determined, to a great extent
on the attitude of the people you
come in contact with as well as
the general atmosphere. I am
offering 'thanks' to Longwood
College for letting me, a senior
citizen do what I like very much
doing — trying to keep my mind
alert.
If anyone wishes to learn to be
mentally creative in a relaxed
atmosphere, where a bag of
tricks to the trade' are offered
but not forced on you; sign-up for
Mr. Douglas' "Creative
Writing'\
A grateful learner,
Mrs. Mary A. Carlos

Posipanko, Foster, Case
Reap Post-Season Honors
Longwood soccer coach Rich
Posipanko and two of his top
booters, junior Darryl Case
(CINCINNATI, OH) and Bill
Foster (NEWPORT NEWS),
reaped a bundle of post-season
honors over the weekend.
Posipanko was named Virginia
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association "Coach of the Year"
and Foster was named "Player
of the Year" at the VISA post-
season banquet Sunday afternoon
m Farmville. In addition, Case
and Foster have been named first
team All-South in Division II.
Guidinj^ Longwood to a 15-4-1
record and a state title this
season, Posipanko has compiled
a career record of 39-25-5 in his
four \ears at Longwood while
building a winning program from
the ground up. He is the first
Lancer soccer coach to be so
honored.
AU-VISA this year and last,
Foster was a co-captain and
leader from his midfield position
for the Lancers. Posipanko and
Foster were chosen as coach and
player of the year by coaches
from the 13 VISA schools.
Case, an All-American in
Division II last season, is making
his second appearance on the All-
South team. He and Foster were
picked by Division II coaches
from an area which includes 12
states and the District of
Columbia. Case was a standout
defender from his back position
for the state champion Lancers,
and like Foster, was AU-VISA the
past two seasons.
This year's Division II All-
American selections are
expected to be announced soon.

I
stung by two losses in the,
Mason Cup Tournament at
George Mason over the weekend,
Longwood's women's basketball
team returns home this week for
a game with the Division III Lady
Hornets from Lynchburg Friday
night at 7:00 in Lancer Hall.
Longwood, now 1-3, will be
making only its second home

BEV POWELL NAMED ALL-
TOURNAMENT
Despite lossees to Hampton
Institute 69-49 Friday and 70-66 to
Liberty Baptist in overtime
Saturday, there was a bright spot
for Longwood in the Mason Cup
Tournament. Sophomore Bev.
Powell (SILVER SPRING, MD)
was chosen for the All-
Tournament team after scoring
24 points and grabbing 13
rebounds in the two games.
Also playing well for Longwood
in the tournament were Bev's
sister Robin, who had 13 points
and six assists against Liberty
Baptist, Mariana Johnson
(FARMVILLE) who had seven
points and 11 rebounds against
the Lady Flames and senior
Cindy Eckel (S. PLAINFIELD,
NJ) who had 14 points and nine
rebounds against Hampton
Institute.
Longwood was up 14-0 over
Liberty Baptist early and led 33-
24 at the half before the Lady
tied at 60-60 at the end of
Flames rallied behind 18-20 free
throw shooting. The game was
regulation before Liberty Baptist
won in overtime.
B. Powell hit six of 11 from the
floor and two of three from the
line to lead the Lady Lancers
with 14 points. Junior Kim
McConnell (FREDERICK, MD)
chipped in 11 points, hitting five
of six free throws.

He then began to speak on an
area he called "Time
Sequences.": "Security is the
end product of everything being
solved simultaneously, but we
are not able to negotiate all
factors (i.e., nuclear, chemical
and conventional) at the same
time." Now, when speaking of
disarmament, we actually mean
specialized parts, ICBMs
(intercontinental ballistic mis-
sile.s) for example. We are now
using the principle of graduality,
that is, gradually dealing with
each nuclear weapon type. This
leads us to a problem, that is the
interdependence of munitions.
"When reductions are made in
one area, the counting then
increases numbers of non-
regulation arms, causing only a
shuffling of numbers."
He then began, to speak on -
verification. "We must look into
compliance (with treaty) or else
we do a disservice to the
disarmament cause. Suspicion is
poison to disarmament." We
should also, he feels, watch non-
nuclear-ordained countries
carefully.
Wegener spoke on the
negotiations taking place now.
Between the United States and
the U.S.S.R. there is a proposal of
a partial test ban of nuclear
weapons. (There is already a
non-atmosphereic test ban in
effect? )There is currently no ban
on suthterraineal testing.
Again he spoke on chemical
warfare, saying, "Chemicals
used in warfare have legitimate
civilian uses," which obviously
presents a restriction problem.
"For a comprehensive credible
ban on chemical arms: all party
countries must declare their
stocks, allow inspectors, and a
survey for the further non-
production must be done."
Wegener then made a direct
comment on our Cruise and
Pershing missiles, saying,
"Europe is against the Cruise
and Pershing missiles, but they
are necessary to match Soviet
strength. We need higher public
awareness so we can back our
government's policies and thus
give them credibility. We must
take some steps to preserve our
freedom."
A new topic arose out of .those
comments, and he then began to
speak on preservation.
"Preservation of values, our way
of life, is the purpose of defense.
If we allow our defenses to slip,
we allow the opportunity for
blackmail, and ultimately
slavery by the Soviets."
Deterrence became his next
topic of discussion.
Wegener believes that
deterrence is the only method by
which we can prevent war.
Unfortunately nuclear weapons
are, by their very nature,
ambivalent as "tokens of life and
preservers of peace. We must all
be ready to stand for our
freedom, but with the knowledge
that the weapon we have is so
terrible, no one will call the
shots." Deterrence also acts as a
means of preservation for those
non-aligned, non-nuclear
countries.
Wegener's final comment
before accepting questions from
the floor expressed his feeling
that the idea of actually
preventing war as opposed to
gearing up for it as so many
nations appear to be doing, seems
to have been lost at the present
time.
Triggers Rally — Lady Lancer Florence Holmes (44) scored 8
quick points in second half Saturday as Longwood beat UMES 50-41.

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, December?, 1962
Longwood's Men's Basketball
The Longwood men's
basketball team had some
trouble executing against the
Otterbein Cardinals last Thurs-
day night managing a 6?-63
victory, but were clearly dealing
during the middle of both halves,
Saturday night in an upset of
Radford, 73-?0.
The Wednesday night game
was a conflict in styles, Otterbein
trying to play a control game and
Longwood trying to run. By
patient offensive and tenacious
defensive play the Cardinals
were on top early with a 5-3 lead.
But they would not get it back
until late in the game after Ron
Orr tied it up with a short hook
shot that he continually put in the
face of the defenders all night.
The next couple of baskets came
from conversion plays, the first
time from a steal by Joe Remar.
Remar hit Kersey on the run and
it was all over with the usual
high-flying, death-defying, full
speed, one-armed slam dunk that
made the fans happier than a
pervert in a harem. Otterbein
threw a brick the next time down
and John Weber whipped the
rebound down to Joe Remar on
the other end, who got a pass,
although deflected, to Ron Orr for
another two points.
Orr and Remar carried the
game, offensively, for the
Lancers, especially since Jerome
Kersey picked up three fouls with
more than 10 minutes left in the
half. Remar was good from both
inside and outside, whether he
was shooting from the fast break
or the set play. And Orr's hook
was unstoppable, which is not
surprising when you observe that
Orr seems to have the reach of a
crane (not the bird, the
construction machine).
Longwood slowly built a lead
throughout the rest of the half,
although play was kind of sloppy
and the Lancers' lead should
have been larger. Although
Otterbein was smaller and slower
than the home team, they were
disciplined and aggressive and
turned many Longwood mistakes
in handling in to steals and
consequent breaks that kept
them in the game. The lead
peaked at 10 points when Ron Orr
took a full court pass from John
Weber and slammed it home to
create pandemonium in Lancer
Hall. The halftime score a minute
later was 32-25 Longwood.
Otterbein quickly pulled within
two in the first two minutes of the
second half. Short jumpers by
Ron Stewart and easy layups by
Mike McKinney provided most of
the Cardinal points as
intelligence kept Otterbein apace
of lancer talent.
After successive exchanges at
baskets and turnovers for several
minutes, Otterbein tied the game
at 55 on a McKinney jump shot.
Grapplers
Now 421
By RONNIE BROWN
Student Assistant
Paced by four strong
performances last week, the
Longwood wrestlers upped their
mark to 4-2-1. The grapplers
defeated the Hornets in
Lynchburg 43-7 Wednesday and
clipped Newport News
Apprentice 27-21, while tying
Division I George Mason 22-22
and losing to Hampton Institute
30-17 in the Liberty Baptist
Tournament Friday and
Saturday. Coach Steve Nelson's
squad will remain idle until after
the Christmas break when they
participate in the Newport News
Tournament on January 14 and
15.
In the Lancers' defeat of
Lynchburg, Charles Campbell
(ALEXANDRIA), a 150 pounder,
Dana Dunlap (FAIRFAX), a
167 pounder, Joe Bass
(ALEXANDRIA), a 177 pounder,
and Mike O'Hare (MID-
LOTHIAN), a 190 pounder,
each recorded pins, while Steve
Albeck (SPRINGFIELD), a 142
pounder and Tim Fitzgerald
(ELON COLLEGE, N.C.), a 118
pounder won major decisions.
Although the grapplers came in
seventh in the LBC Tourney,
Coach Nelson was pleased with
the team's performance.
"I thought we wrestled fairly
well considering how competitive
the tournament was," said
Nelson. "We showed that we are
one of the top small college teams
in Virginia."
David Dodd (HIGHLAND
SPRINGS), a 158 pounder,
Dunlap and Campbell each had
good outings. Sophomore Charles
Campbell, who has compiled a 6-2
record thus far, was 4-0 last week
with three pins and a 6-0 decision.
One of the highlights of the
tourney was the comeback
against George Mason. The
Patriots had won the first four
matches but the Lancers won five
of the last six weight classes to
get the 22-22 draw.
Nelson is hoping the team will
wrestle with the same intensity
next semester as it has this year.
"I'm very pleased with the way
the season is shaping up," noted
Nelson. "We are going to let our
injuries heal and try to stay
healthy next semester."
Longwood got back ahead when
Orr followed a Kersey drive for a
layup and Otterbein tied it again
on two free throws due to a
technical on Coach Luther for
saying something the ref didn't
like. Otterbein got the lead, now
late in the game when Jerome
Kersey got a defensive rebound
and started dribbling up court.
But it's a long way for the ball to
bounce when Kersey dribbles and
he lost control, then dove, along
with Mike Testa, for the loose
ball, but Otterbein 's Ron Stewart
grabbed the ball standing up and
strolled in for the giveaway
layup.
Down 61-60 with less than a
minute remaining the Lancers
could ill afford to miss this next
attempt as that might enable the
Cardinals to run the clock out.
Jerome Kersey rebounded a
Lonnie Lewis jump shot and was
fouled on his second follow
attempt, tying the game when he
made one of his free throws.
After the Cardinals choked on
their next possession Lonnie
Lewis put the Lancers up for good
rebounding his own shot and
laying it in. Joe Remar stole the
ball on the Cardinals' next try
and laid it in for the insurance
points and Otterbein choked
again. Another basket exchange
and the game was over,
Longwood preserving the
victory, 67-63.
In summing up this year's
Radford team. Coach Luther said
he was "scared to death of
them." He said he had seen them
play Division I Richmond and
thought they should have won.
But have no fear, coach. For this
one, Longwood conquered
another phase of the basketball -
world — jump shots. Add in solid
bench play and a good defense,
especially by the guards and you
have why the Lancers pulled off
their best victory yet this year,
73-70.
Midway through the first half,
Longwood was playing nearly
perfect l)asketball and with about
five minutes left in the half, John
Weber sank a short jumper to
give Longwood its biggest lead at
31-14. But Radford brought it to
within six by the end of the half,
34-28.
Longwood kept Radford about
ten off the pace until the
Highlanders started fouling
them. In Division II ball, foul
shots are not so taken for granted
and while Longwood missed half
of their 30 second half foul shots
and Radford pulled to within
three with a minute left, 71-68.
Two Kersey foul shots put the
game out of reach, though, with
Radford only getting one more
field goal before the game ended
73-70.
Again, Orr and Remar led the
way for the Lancers, scoring 26
and 16 points respectively. Next
up will be U.D.C., probably the
biggest bundle of raw talent ever
to visit Lancer Hall. And taking
into consideration the styles of
both teams, it promises to be a
show.
i
Longwood's Joe Remar scored 27 points in 7(M5 win over Mansfield State Saturday night with
1,053 career points, Remar is Longwood's all-time leading scorer.

Tuesday, December?, 1982
By CHRIS YOUNG
What do you get if you take a
Diver's flag, a lion wearing
sunglasses, three animals, one
businessman (who doubles as the
world's best guitarist), the
Roanoke Civic Center on a
Halloween Eve, a full moon, and
120 decibels?
Absolutely nothing.
But if you multiply it all by 10,
you ^et Van Halen.
Boy. do you ever get Van
Halen!
Van Halen was in Roanoke
Saturday, and if you missed it to
go trick or treating, you missed
the real treat.
Van Halen opened with Romeo
Delight from their third albun.
Women and Children First.
Eddie was perfect, brother
Alex Van Halen (drums) was
perfect, Michael Anthony (basiS;
was perfect, the stage was
perfect, and David Lee Roth was,
to put it very bluntly, himself.
Halfway through the second
verse, he forgot the words, but
did that stop him? Heck no! In
typical David I^e Roth fashion,
he screamed out, "I forgot the f—
— words!!" By the end of the
first song, you started to take in
the stage.
Wow! What a stage!
Starting at the bottom, on the
floor, you see huge rays of orange
and white painted on the floor.
Moving up, you are overwhelmed
by the speakers. Thousands of
them! On a flaming platform
between the bass and guitar
speakers were the drums.
Actually, "drums" is an
understatement. I think Alex's
kit contained half of Ludwig's
1982 stock, and half of the props
from Star Wars.
(Alex IS noted for having the
biggest and the baddest drum
set.s in the land, and even though
he isn't the baddest drummer in
the land, he can still do a job on
them drums!)
Behmd the drums was a huge
curtain on which was painted Van
Halen "b 1982 logo, a lion wearing
reflecto shades, which are
reflecting two big Van Halen
flying wedges!
Now to the lights!
When I first saw Van Halen in
1980, they had what was
considered the biggest light show
ever taken on tour by any band.
It had 11 follow spots (six of
which were directly over the
band), and thousands of other
lights. Just name your favorite
color, and I'm sure it was there.
In their new light show, Van
Halen added seven more
spotlights, and took away a
couple of hundred other lights.
Instead of the typical
rectangular light design, they
rearranged them into a shape
similar to their logo. They were
also in smaller groups.
Most of the groups were hydra-
ulically controlled, and could be
raised and lowered.
There were eight spotlights (16
total) run by eight men who
literally rode the hydraulic
lights.
All of this had a Van-tastic
effect!
Eddie's new front line
consisted of his favorite
homemade red guitar and three
new editions, one of which he
used more than "old red."
The one he used the most was a
Kramer, which was custom built
for the Ed. It looks almost
identical to his red one, but has a
neck shaped like one from a
Gibson Explorer.
The second new edition was a
beautiful Kramer custom double
neck. It was yellow with a black
line design, similar to all of
Eddie's guitars.
He used the bottom neck (six
strings) to do Cathedral from
Diver Down.
From Van Halen II, they
played Dance the Night Away,
Somebody Get Me a Doctor and
Bottoms Up!
Winter Concert
On Wednesday, Dec. 8, the
Longwood College Concert Band
will present the President's
Anmial Winter Concert at 8 p.m.
in the Lankford Gold Room. The composers such as Mozart,
Clifton Williams, Francis
program shall include several MacBeth, and Charles Carter,
works for the Christmas season There is no charge for admission
as well as concert pieces by and all are invited to attend.
One of the surprisingly best
moments of the concert was a
space age bass solo by Michael
Anthony. It was incredible.
Another one of the best
moments was a "call and
answer" session between
drummer Alex and virtuoso
Eddie.
Except for a half caliber
mixing job, I'd have to say that
this is the best concert I've seen
in a long time.

for that." So not only did Wolfe
not see information in that form,
nor did his hall which he had
wanted to get interested in the
S.G.A.
Next years president, Trisha
Boyle expressed concern for this
problem and indicated that
apathy and lack of publicity need
to be dealt with in order to insure
effectiveness for the S.G.A. "It's
hard to get people excited about
something they don't know." She
added, "I think how we have
elections could be changed for the
better."
But one last complaint exists
about the wav the elections were
run that has no answer. Just how
did every individual seat
clear down the line of the ballot,
with two exceptions, manage to
have just one occupant. One
could think that there would be
many candidates for the higher
offices while the lower ones
might just be abandoned, unless
of course candidates were cycled
to the appropriate open office,
which seems to be the case.
(However there is no proof for
such an assertion other than the
obvious one stated above). While
a system like this may be highly
beneficial to those involved and
may provide the S.G.A. with a
full compliment of officers, it is
highly unethical. And if it
happens in the future, it will be
obvious.

Longwood or Bongwood?
A Look At Longwood^s Drug Culture
"It takes a clear mind to make it."
Editor's Note:
The foilowlng Is an article
completed one year ago by Jodi
Kersey who was previous editor
of The Rotunda. She Is currently
employed by The Richmond
Times-Dispatch as an
advertising layout assistant.
"Does it take a clear mind to take
it or a clear mind not to take it? —
It takes a clear mind to make it."
Jackson Browne
When he graduated in May, he
completed his tenure as a
successful drug dealer on the
Longwood campus. Not one
single mishap. This average
sized all-American male picked
up his degree and left Longwood
having done what all the other
students have to, to graduate —
almost. "We are talking covert,"
was his first word concerning his
daily activity. Sitting in his dorm
room in jeans, blue striped oxford
and preppy glasses, one out of
at)out 20 Longwood candymen
described his routine as a
campus drug dealer.
Our generation may appear
more corservative when viewing
our college campus. The surge of
interest in conservative preppy
clothes and success oriented
students may cause one to feel
that today's students are less
likely to buck conformity.
However, Mike feels this is
wrong. "Using drugs to me is as
common as going to lunch. I
would think at least 50 per cent of
the Longwood students smoke
pot, it's a real subculture."
Mike's experience with drugs
was not always this
knowledgeable. One of the first
clues that one receives about this
drug dealer is that he has never
been down and out, forced to sell
drugs because he needed the
money or needed to supply his
habit. "It all started in the
summer of 77 when I was in high
school. A guy gave me a bag of
pot. I didn't even know what it
was. I kept it until some friends
started talking about something
called "pot" and it fit the
description of what I had. My
friend told me to divide it into
four parts and I could get five
dollars a piece for nickel bags."
After selling the marijuana that
first time, Mike found what he
continuously refers to -- a
market.
Life as a small time drug
dealer went on from there. He
sold drugs that summer from the
pump room where he was a
lifeguard. The unique aspect was
that he never used any type of
drug himself. He was simply
being a businessman — he had
found a market for a product and
was taking advantage of it.
However, this soon changed
after Mike experimented with
marijuana. "I found out that I
could sell three bags and keep
one for myself." Hence, the idea
started of selling to others to
supply himself also. It was a
perfect set-up.
Mike continued dealing when
he came to Longwood. He had a
connection about 20 miles out of
Farmville and operations have
run smoothly for four years. He
had only this one connection and
he met him when he needed to
replenish his supply for the
campus. Everything ran like
clockwork. His connection only
had about six dealers working for
him. "This guy (the connection)
lives out in the woods and keeps
to himself." Being covert is
stressed again. "I wouldn't want
to work for a lot of different
suppliers," said Mike. "There
has to be a great trust between
you and your connection and you
have to keep up with what is
going on in their life." Mike
talked about how your supplier
may be busted and if you don't
keep in touch and be careful, you
could be set-up and caught.
Dealing drugs carries a great
amount of risk — caution is the
key.
"You want to be sure that what
you are selling is good stuff,"
continued Mike. He doesn't have
to concern himself with that issue
too much. He is considered the
connoisseur dealer on campus.
He sold essentially to the same
group of customers on a
consistent basis. Because he sold
what is considered the best in
marijuana, he doesn't have io
advertise — his business is
operated simply and quickly with
everyone used to the routine. He
commented that he didn't sell
"bull shit pot" but mostly the
best — Jamaica, Hawaiian, not to
mention the "chemicals."
Mike kept out of sight and
operated his business for four
years on campus. "I just can't
believe these other guys on
campus who deal. They are so
slack. I call them stupid dealers
supplying stupid people. You can
possession is nine-tenths of the
law and the risk is too great to
keep anything on campus. Like
those guys, they certainly
couldn't say nine bags was their
stash. Their room spelt
distribution." The important
thing here i.«! to keep priorities in
line so you are clear. "I always
attend classes," says Mike, "I
7 don't see how straight
people make it through a day''
hear them in the dining hall —
'Hey, man, that was great. I was
high in no time.' And then, they
yell back 'Don't worry — I'll be
getting more soon'." Mike
doesn't desire the limelight of
being a drug dealer. He wouldn't
want people to know him that
well. Being well known can,
ironically, be a very undesirable
situation for a dealer.
Mike assessed the major
problem. Of course, all jobs have
their drawbacks. His is the
paranoia from the risk involved
in dealing. "Sometimes when I'm
driving to meet my connection, I
get so paranoid. I pull over to the
side of the road and wait because
I feel like someone's following
me. It's the adrenalin working."
Mike tries to overcome this fear
by taking a different route every
time he goes.
Possession is another huge
worry. "I try to keep everything
out of my room and car.
Everything is kept off campus at
a safe place where I can easily
get to it." He worries that he
could be busted. He is used to
watching for the signs of
policemen or narcs as he calls
them. Mike knows of too many
cases where people were busted
and he doesn't want to be one.
"The heat in Farmville is
terrible," Mike continued. "It
has gotten worse over the four
years. I know a guy in Maine who
sold pot to a towny and then the
towny swore out an affadavit at
the police station and he was
busted. Townies are uncool."
"You have to remember that
keep my grades up and obey all
other rules and laws on and off
campus so I'm never suspected."
Does Mike feel a moral
responsibility to any of his
customers when he knows they
are using great amounts of pot or
cocaine or any other drug? "You
can't say what is too much or too
little for any person." The only
thing he is concerned with is
satisfying his customer and
having no enemies. If using pot,
cocaine, speed or any other
chemical is as common to you as
it is to Mike, he could have
supplied you. If it's marijuana
you want, you'd be paying about
ten dollars a gram. Therefore, an
ounce "bag" would cost about
eighty dollars. Mike sells to
essentially ten people on campus
who want the best pot they can
buy. A friend came by to borrow
incense and another came in for
one red pill. "With your help, I
might make it through exams."
Mike keeps up with the business
on a day to day basis. "You have
to be diplomatic. If a customer
doesn't like what he is given, I
would rather give extra than
cause a hassle. Drug dealing is a
matter of pride — you don't want
anyone saying you deal shit"
What do Mike's family and
friends think or know about his
part-time work at college? His
friends are those others who also
use pot. "Dogs know dogs",
explained Mike. "I can tell if a
person uses anything. You
couldn't use drugs on a daily
basis without your friends
knowing it." That is why Mike's
friends are also drug users. "I
don't see how straight people
make it through the day." And
his family? "They have no idea
what I do. Once, I got kind of lax
my junior year and my father
found a half bag at home. He
gave me a lecture about how I co-
uld drink all I wanted but to not
use marijuana."
Mike said he will probably
continue dealing after college. He
will be leaving Farmville
because it is too small a town.
Mike has only cleared enough
money to have the drugs he wants
and have an adequate amount of
spending money. But somewhere
else bigger than Farmville, who
knows? He has been a major
figure in the drug sub-culture on
the liongwood campus for the last
four years. What were Mike's last
words concerning his stay at
I^ongwood with his business? "It
takes a clear mind to make it — I
love that song."

Tuesday, January 18, 1983
A Home Grown Boy
We rode up route 15 in a jacked-
up Dodge 4- Wheel pickup ladened
with mud and debris. A
Remington 12 gauge on the back
window and a half -empty 22
Automatic stashed under the
passenger seat. David was
rattling on about this year's
crops. "Protection", "Bummer
weed", "91 day wonder". He was
worried about the cops today.
There had been a big bust
Thursday, the Virginia state
police uncovering one of the
largest fields of Marijuana in
Buckingham county, $50,000
worth — the fifth field discovered
in one month.
"The cops aren't dumb, they
know what's going on around
here. That joker who got
busted... he was a dumb ass... 160
plants in one area. I mean good
God who could imagine they
wouldn't be seen. I can't image
who would be that dumb. That -
naive."
David isn't. A Longwood
student he has for four years now
cultivated some of the best grass
in the area. Virginia Sensemillian
and he know the workings of the
long arm of the law and how to
avoid it. "They take infra-red
photos from helicopters that
show the different amounts of
heat coming off each plant and
pot's hot. Once you see plants
from the air, you don't forget -
what they look like.
David turned left on a gravel
road and up behind a log cabin
type ranch house. This was the
environment he loved. The
outdoors — Forest, trees,
sunshine, clouds and grass. He's
never studied Thoreau, but is
intrigued with canoeing and
botany just the same. He is an
ana chron ism of sorts with
outdated wild shoulder length
hair and Dylan scraggle creeping
like the Kudzu vine up his
cheeks.He's also a paradox —
Esher prints hang on the same
wall as a John Wayne poster —
"the Duke" and a Loth's Hickory
wood burning stove provide heat
for this agrarian who sleeps on a
waterbed.
We walked down a worn path
behind his house, lined on either
side with Spruces, pines and
cedars. David carried a 10-
gallon water bucket in one hand,
leaning with the weight and
looking for all the evergreen like
the reincarnation of his
namesake — Henry David
"You've got to be smart in a lot of
ways when you start planting.
F*ick a place that's sunny enough
to keep them alive but enough
bush around to shelter them from
hehcopters — particularly the
blue ones". He dipped the bucket
over a familiar batch of 5 leaved
plants. "This is sens — the best
you can get anywhere, except
niayt>e Hawaii — used to be
Columbian was the big thing —
the imported weed. Then people
started getting smart, using the
seeds from some of the best dope
they smoked and planting them.
But it didn't really come of age
till about a year ago. The Feds
By JOE JOHNSON
started cracking down on the
Miami and Norfolk area. The big
import areas for grass and when
they slipped the ring on them
they cut a lot of dope lines".
Supply and demand took effect
and Virginia Sensemillian grew
up and out. Just how many
Davids were there in the nation in
Prince Edward County?
"My God, I have no idea, in
Prince Edward County alone —
about 100 — everything from
professors growing it in their
windowsills to folks growing it in
the field... if it's not grown in
Virginia it's not here, except for
the small stuff — a few ounces
from other university's like Tech
or Madison.
Farther down the path we
stopped at a small clearing —
slim, bright green stemmed
plants — a little more than 4 foot
shot upward topped with a tight
cluster of "buds". The best part
of the plant — according to David
buds are the epitome of dope. The
one toke weed Which sends you
sailing to heaven with a Bozo the
clown grin. They resemble
shrunken magnolia cones dipped
in sugar crystals — Actually THC
crystals and let off an odor which
lends credence to their
sobriquet — "organic skunk
weed." The smell of burnt cedar
was evident within a foot. An
ounce of these cream of crops go
from between 140-160 dollars on
the street. But for David they're
free which is the way he likes it.
By his own admission the 25
plants he cultivates (ranging in
size from 3-6 ft.) could have a
potential street value of $35 00.
( enough to pay off his tuition for 2
years as a day student at
Longwood). Money however, is
not his main concern and dealing
takes a back-seat to what is
conventionally described as the
"recreational" buzz.
He started smoking pot at age
16 for the same reason men climb
mountains "because it was
there." Not in the sense of
challenge, the challenge by that
time had become in-
stitutionalized. Drug usage was
as quintessentially American to
him as apple pie or the afternoon
highball. At the tail end of the
baby-boom generation, David, as
so many of his peers, picked the
remnants of what was left in the
wake of O'Leary's mind
expanding, flower power,
children of the 60's sun era. Mind
blowing took the place of mind
expansion and his reasons for
"catching the buzz" may serve
as an epithet for the 70's and 80's
— the comfortable numb.
The escapist attitude goes a
long way towards explaining this
"walking contradiction." At age
16 pot for him was no longer a
symbol of rebellion. It was
another paradigm of the
American way of life. "Because
it was there" refers to a choice in
lifestyles, necessarily neither
antisocial nor asocial.
"I made a level headed
decision — weighed the pros and
cons and decided to try it. At first
it wasn't daily use, shit the first
couple of years I only smoked it
about 10 times a year. I guess it
was about 3 years ago when I
had the steady supply that's when
I got into it big time, 3-4 times
daily. But I've slowed down
lately, now it's no big thing not to
get high for a few days at a time.
I'm not a stoner — a bum out —
like a lot of kids around
here... and I guess pot did it to
them. It's just like alcohol —
There are drinkers and there are
alcoholics, you can control it or it
can control you, and when that
happens you got to stop. I feel
sorry for bum-outs — I've seen
some stoners get it together you
know — get active in life again.
Most just live with things the way
they are.
But me, I'm up on current
events. I know what's going on.
When I graduate (this spring) I'll
have a good background and
well, not to brag — but a fairly
healthy resume. I've worked in
construction, and had a desk job
in technical engineering with an
engineering firm, a couple of
routine restaurant jobs... I've got
a double major now and make A's
B's and C's. Hell, I'll be valuable
to somebody and I plan on getting
a good paying job. Dope just
makes things a little
easier... more laid back, like that
Cheeg and Chang lyric "all your
cares go up in smoke." The
important thing is not to let them
stay up forever. Everybody's got
responsibilities, take care of your
job — be it studying or laying
bricks or whatever and then
relax... with a toke or two."
Escapism tempered with
obstinate practicality is the
philosophy which guides this
weird amalgamation of Horatio
Algiers and Old MacDonald. He
approaches pot growing as a
business concern and the threat
arrest is enough to send him into
paranoic tangents. "I've never
even come close to getting
busted, thank God... and don't
plan on it.There's too much to
lose. .. getting busted...
....Jesus. ..never never never!"
And still David plays the odds
with the infrequent deals on
Longwoods' Campus and off —
"just to help out friends, not for
any major money. If I thought,
for a second, somebodv was on
to me I'd spht — but the people I
deal with are tight — you know —
real close and they wouldn't say a
word."
He draws a clear line of
distinction between himself and
"punk" dealers on campus. "The
kind that get bust ed. They're too
small time to know what's going
on, yet big time enough to wind
up in jail. They deal in heavy
drugs — Acid, Crank, Coke,
Speed. The drugs they think are
safe because they're small
quantity and easy to carry.
They're just kids trying to pick up
a few bucks on campus and
they're usually not too careful."
His opinion on "Heavy" drugs
is ambivalent. David has run the
gamut of drug use, with the

remains faithful to his crop
, cannibis The planting of which
according to him, is something of
an art, and he has developed an ,
encyclopedic knowledge on the
ins and outs of pot growing and

You just can't plant a shit load
of dope. You have to space the
plants out about 20-30 ft. and dig a
pit for each of them... you are
harvesting a plant — not a crop.
The potency is so much better if
you care for one plant, than if you

The 10 gallon bucket was empty
now and we watched as the water
sucked noisily downward to-
wards the roots of a mature, pot
stem. It was getting hot and the
sun played on the surrounding
leaves in a cacophony of light-

THE DEAL
Speed Freak
By CAND ACE WARREN
Greg is a twenty-year-old
Longwood College student living
in Cox dormitory. One gets the
impression that he is intelligent,
bright, ambitious, witty, and
strikingly ordinary. However,
there is one characteristic about
Greg that seems at odds with his
other traits. Greg sells drugs.
Greg is intelligent enough not
to disclose his identity to
prospective customers, only to
regulars. Greg makes contact
with people who he hears are
looking for something he can
supply. In this case, a person
expressed an interest in
purchasing amphetamines and
was called three days later by
Greg. When Greg discovered that
the person was not interested in
drugs, only an interview, he
cooperated readily. He seemed
thrilled at the prospect of
possibly seeing his words in print.
Evidently, Greg markets
various types of "mood-
modifiers" at Longwood but
specializes in speed;
amphetamines. He always keeps
a "few dozen pills" on him to sell
or for personal consumption. Half
of his "stock" is to sell at a
substantial profit; the rest is for
his own use or for close friends.
When asked how he got started in
the business, he says, "I started
popping when I was in high
school. When I came here
(Longwood) I always brought a
bag back with me after every trip
home. Pretty soon my
roommates and suitemakes
figured out that I was speeding.
One night just before exams my
roommate came up to me and
asked if he could buy a twenty-
twenty for a dollar. Later on that

The commonwealth attorney
for Prince Edward County, Billy
Watkins, is an easy going man by
most standards. But when it
comes to drugs his speech
becomes tougher and less
languid. "Farmville doesn't have
much of a problem with drugs,
last year (81-82) we had 20
arrests for possession. Only one
arrest was made at Longwood
College, that was for possession
with intent to distribute ... but to
my thinking that's too many!"
He has valid reasons for that
stem assertion. If a citizen is
caught with one-half ounce or less
of marijuana as a first offense the
minimum penalty is probation
with a parole officer for 12
months. If he is caught with more
than one-half ounce but not more
than 5 lbs. he faces imprisonment
of not less than one year and not
more than five years. Anything
past 5 lbs. is an offense
warranting not less than five
years but not more than 30 years
of imprisonment.
The hard drugs bring toughei
penalties — the distribution oi
manufacturing of amphetamines
is an automatic felony with
sentences ranging from not less
than five years to 40 years
imprisonment and a fine of not
more than $25,000. Any other
habit forming drug — morphine,
codeine, opiates, cocaine, or
other narcotics bring the same
penalty.
"College students shouldn't
feel invulnerable — a felony or
petty larceny (minor possession)
goes on a record for the rest of
their life. No one can be
employed in a professional status
job with such a mark against
them and if they're convicted of a
felony — they'll spend time in jail
and lose all rights as citizens."
week my suitemate said he'd give
me ten bucks for a twenty-bag of
beauties; I took it. It's been down
hill ever since." Greg does not
worry too often about getting
caught. "A lot of people need me,
depend on me. A lot of people
would be real upset if I couldn't
help them out. A few of them
would be really, really upset."
Greg laughs but refuses to
elaborate on his ambiguous
statement.
In regard to his personal
consumption of amphetamines,
he shruggingly replies, "I take
two or three hits a day depending
on how good the stuff is. I take
them to study, sure, but mainly to
just keep me going." When urged
to continue on the positive effects
of speed for himself, he hesitated
and then added, "Well in bed they
do effect me. At least that's what
they tell me. It sort of gets my
blood going if you know what I
mean." He laughs.
Greg foresees no future
complications as a result of his
practice of selling and consuming
amphetamines, either to his
health or legally. He plans to
"shut down" after he graduates.
"Up front, I need the money right
now but when I get out
(graduate) I hope to be making
enough to support myself without
needing to sell speed or
whatever." His actions do not
bother his conscience or conflict
with his morals. "No, I don't have
trouble living with myself. I feel
like I'm doing a lot of people a
favor. A lot of term papers and
test grades are better because of
me. I'm needed around here;
people depend on me."
Marijuana and Coke at
Longwood: Medium Rare
By CAND ACE WARREN
When I first began researching
for this report, I had very little
insight into drug usage at
Longwood College but was well
versed in the use of drugs at other
colleges and universities,
scattered here and there in the
eastern seaboard states. As I
delved into the matter
concerning the use and abuse of
certain "mood modifiers" at
Longwood, I found that
Longwood was comparitively
average or just slightly lower
than average compared to most
of the other educational
institutions I was familiar with.
Interviewing a sophomore at
Mary Baldwin College, I was told
that she had "rarely" seen any
form of drug in her two years at
Baldwin, a school primarily
attended by a wealthier class of
girls. However, when speaking to
a freshman acquaintance who
also attends Mary Baldwin, I was
informed that she had.". ..never
seen so much dope and had never
even seen cocaine" until she got
there. One example the freshman
gave of cocaine use at Baldwin
involved a girl from Texas, the
daughter of an oil tycoon, who
was regularly flown in and out of
Staunton on her Dad's private jet.
The girl kept a storehouse of
cocaine in her underwear
drawer, snorting three of four
times daily and presenting it to
her friends as gifts.
Ferrum college, as told to me
by a junior, rests in the center of
the largest "pot patch" in
Virginia. Because of the area's
notoriety for cultivating and
experimentative horticulture,
some of the finest strains of
marijuana are grown in the
vicinity of Ferrum and
consequently many students
sample and seemingly thrive off
the area's favorite evergreen.
The growers of the "weed", in
order to gauge the effectiveness
of their product, use the college
students as their device for
testing the potency of the grass,
often offering it at a ridiculously
low price and in some instances
free. Coke is available but used
only rarely due to the high price
tagged on so little product.
The University of Virginia, well
known for its diversity in many
fields, did not disappoint me
when I researched their habits
relating to "mind altering
substances." A campus-based
cult, in fact, regards the mar-
juana leaves and their for-
mation is a divine symbol and
in essence, worships the plant as
a sacred tool to help them find and
converse with various religious
figures in the nether world.
Cocaine is the common
denominator for many white,
wealthy, male students attending
the University. While talking to
one of the aforementioned
students, I was told that cocaine
did for him what "wheaties did
for Bruce Jenner." Averette
College, a smaller private college
in Danville, bore many
similarities to UVA in its
diversity of drug use. One student
remarked, "There's pot in every
room, everybody does it just
about. Coke is easy to get but it's
not an everyday thing like pot or
speed. We eat speed like they
were M&M's."
Longwood, surprisingly enough
to me, ranks about five or less on
a scale of one to ten in reference
to drug use. Some dormitories
reek of sweet acrid smoke which
seeps through cracks on and
under doors shut tight against
inquisitive noses. Other dorms,
however, seem free of pot and
make do with brew. Coke, as I
have seen it, is scarce. Speed or
the use of other stimulants,
however, is widespread and
increases tremendously before
exams or just prior to a rash of
testing. As the weekend
approaches, many students
increase their intake of
stimulants to make the most of
the little time they have. As one
senior explained to me, "There is
pot and a little coke floating
around here (Longwood) but you
have to know who to look for to
find some." As a freshman, I
probably have not seen or
experienced the full impact or
role that drugs play on
Longwood's campus, but from
what I have seen Longwood is a
reasonably "straight" school.

Gizz/Ms. Kids Make LC
Players Look
Handicapped
By CINDY CORELL
Tony Perini, a well-known local
restaurant owner, is an avid
sports fan and often participates
in a variety of sports. So when he
was in Lancer gym last week and
Frank Brasile, a Therapeutic
Recreation professor, asked him
to play some basketball
Thursday night, he agreed
quickly. What he didn't know,
though, was that he'd play in a
wheelchair!
The University of Illinois
wheelchair basketball teams,
both men's and women's were on
hand Thursday night in I..ancer
Gym for an exhibition game
against our own Longwood All-
Stars. Wheelchair AU^Stars, that
is, most of which had never
attempted anything like this
before Thursday.
The Gizz Kids (men) were
organized in 1948 at U. of I. by
Tim Nugent, current director of
the Division of Rehabilitation-
Education Services. The Ms.
Kids were organized in 1970, one
of only 15 women's teams in the
nation, whereas there are 150
men's teams. These players have
some sort of disability that does
not allow them to play most
active sports in the same manner
as an able-bodied person. The
Gizz Kids, having won the
National Championship for
wheelchair basketball three
years, and the Intercollegiate
Championship in 1978, they are
currently ranked second in the
Intercollegiate League. The Ms.
Kids are currently ranked second
nationally having won the
Nationals in 1978.
Thursday night the Ms. Kids
and Gizz Kids combined on one
team because of an abundance of
injuries to the players.
The players began warm-ups at
about 6 : 45 for the 7 : 30 game. The
Illinois players, dressed in dark
blue sweatsuits, practiced in an
orderly fashion, while a
collection of Longwood students,
professors and administrators,
wearing many colors of sports
clothes, including jeans, fumbled
on the other side of the court.
They struggled in the chairs, ran
into each other, dropped the ball,
and occasionally threw the ball
out-of-bounds. Some got used to
handling the ball; some got used
to motivating in the specially
built, light-weight wheelchairs.
None coordinated both efforts at
the same time. By this time the
other team had stopped warmed
up; they were showing off some
hot dog shots which included
wheelies and over the shoulder
shot!.
The buzzer rang at 7:30 and
about 350 people were in the
stands. The players were
introduced, and a baseball coach,
a vice-president for Academic
Affairs, a director of Housing and
two women who work with
Therapeutic Recreation majors,
went against a combination of
men's and women's teams in
wheelchair basketball.
In the first second, a Longwood
player came out of his seat —
technical foul — they got the
point. Nine seconds later, the
score was 3-0, at 11-0, Illinois
favor, Mike Haltzal yelled,
"Okay, team, regroup." They
didn't listen. At 25-0, Illinois
favor, Longwood coach Frank
Brasile, who received his Master
of Science degree at U. of I. and
was a coach of the Gizz Kids from
1974 to 1978 was put into the
game. Illinois spotted Longwood
35 points. Minutes later they
ended the half, 36-35, Illinois
favor.
During halftime, the Illinois
team relaxed with some
wheelchair square dancing.
Following that, some assimilated
architectural barriers were
brought out, and the Illinois team
members performed their feats
of overcoming these everyday
barriers such as curbs, steps and
ramps. During this time,
Longwood coach Brasile talked
strategy and the 15 players who
had already seen action rested.
The second half was a bit more
challenging for the Illinois team
as they spotted the underdogs 40
more points. The game went on
much as before with the
exception that I^ongwood did
manage to make six points on
their own, bringing the game to a
tie, 81-81.
After the game, Illinois Coach
Brad Hedrick asked the audience
to stick around for another
exhibition. While the Longwood
All-Stars sat back in the chairs
alongside the court wiping
sweaty foreheads and resting
tired arms, the wheelchair
athletes headed out on the court
again for an exhibition of
wheelchair football, an
Intramural sport at U. of I. Then
some Individual athletes played
wheelchair tennis and ran
(wheeled) track around the
court.
As well as seeing some
excellent basketball plays and
Incredible ball handling, the
audience had an opportunity to
see an exhibition that many had
never seen before, and described
as "neat", "fascinating," and
"unbelievable." As one student
put It, "I found It interesting how
these people compare to normal
(able-bodied) athletes. You never
think about these everyday
difficulties for the handicapped
until you see something like the
exhibition at halftime tonight." A
Physical Education professor
noted how she could see
individual plays developing by
the Illinois players. "It's
amazing what we need is some
athletics for our liandicapped."

The aforementioned street
names refer to the artificial
stimulants, amphetamines, used
by one out of four college students
at one time or another In their
college career for various
reasons, and resulting in a
multitude of complications and
health hazards. An ever
increasing number of college
students has turned to am-
phetamines hoping to produce
a sense of heightened euphoria,
elevated alertness, and a higher
level of mental and physical
energy. The most commonly
Ingested amphetamines are
pharmaceutlcally labelled
dexedrlne, desoxyn,
methamphetamine, and
methadrine. The only legitimate
medical use of amphetamines Is
for the treatment of sleeping
sickness and hyperactivity In
children. From this, one may
surmise that amphetamine use in
college age students is not
medically feasible.
The prevailing causes for
amphetamine usage In college
include Increased alertness In
class and the ability to stay
awake late into the night
cramming for tests or exams,
ultimately improving grades and
Increasing class participation.
Academic excellence is not the
only motive cited by college
students for amphetamine
inducement. Improved and
prolonged performance and
endurance on the sports field,
court, or bedroom are often the
reasons given for the ingestion of
the synthetic stimulants. By
Introducing increasing amounts
of "uppers" into the body, the
brievity of the weekend may be
maximized by not wasting time
sleeping and eating, practices
necessary for survival.
Unfortunately for the user, the
thrills and benefits come to an
abrupt halt and reality sooner or
later catches up with him. The
risks of amphetamine abuse are
frequently Ignored or entirely
rejected, especially by young
Individuals whose primary
objective is a thrill for the
moment with no thought for the
future. To stay "high," the user
must induce more and more of
the drug into his system, not
realizing that the seemingly
"magic energy" he is
experiencing Is the expenditure
and eventual depletion of his
bodily resources. Amphetamines
produce rapidly Increasing levels
of tolerance and addiction more
rapidly than any other drug
which affects the central nervous
system. Repeated "speeding"
may result in: depression,
fatigue, nightmares. Irritability,
liver disease, hypertensive
disorders, chronic chest
Infections, exhaustion,
Impotence, and In some cases,
cerebral hemorrhage. The
phrase, "Speed kills," refers to
the loss of contact with reality
resulting from the use of
amphetamines and possibly
leading to paranoia
and destructlveness. Dr. George
Snyder, a widely recognized drug
authority, has proved In his
extensive research that, "More
people die from amphetamine-
caused violence than from the
actions provoked by any other
drug affecting the central
nervous system."
Down Home at Longwood
By JOHNEL D. BROWN
After ten years on the road
together, singing In towns along
the East coast, south and
midwest, a degree of
professionalism Is expected.
Robin and Linda Williams, a
husband and wife team, brought
not only professionalism, but a
novel sample of the new trend In
music. Rockabilly. Rockabilly
for the Williams' is a down home
sound about down home things, a
country based sound but with a
footshuffllng upbeat. Their
cocker spaniel, Jake, who
wandered about the Gold Room
In Lankford, during their concert
Wednesday, made their act a
charming trio.
The talent between the pair
was evident as they sang not only
old country-western classics but
their original songs. Robin
played the guitar and a
harmonica simultaneously, when
he wasn't belting out lines about
old timers In small towns.
Unda played the guitar, too
and she picked a banjo with
footstomping fervor.
The duo effortessly
harmonized, both Instrumentally
and vocally and created a
relaxed, familiar atmosphere. In
between songs, they shared jokes
and anecdotes of their time on the
road. Their songs ranged from
the traditional flatfootlng cowboy
songs, to tender ballads and even
to black gospel spirituals done
accapella.
The couple lives in
Middlebrook, Virginia, after
having moved from Country
Music Capitol, U.S.A. —
Nashville. They have five albums
released on a small label, and
they're working on their sixth.
Robin and Linda Williams have
succeeded In bringing their
audiences the newest trends
paired with the classic sounds of
country music through their
versatile talents and vibrant
style.

On Unspeakable Words and

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, January 18, 1963
"There were words In the Brett
language considered so
corrupting in their effect on
others that if anyone wrote them
or was heard to speak them
aloud, he was fined and thrown
into prison. The King of the
Bretts was of the opinion that the
words were of no importance one
way or the other, and besides,
everybody in the country knew
them anyway; but his advisers
disagreed, and at last, to
determine who was right, a
committee was appointed to
examine the people separately.
At length everyone in the
kingdom had been examined, and
found to know the words quite
well, without the slightest
damage to themselves. There
was then left only one little girl, a
five-year-old who lived in the
mountains with her deaf and
dumb parents. The conunittee
hoped that this little girl, at least,
had never heard the corrupting
words, and on the morning they
vf (sited her, they said solemnly:
"Do you know the meaning of
poost, gist, duss, feng?"
The little girl admitted that she
did not, and then, smiling
happily, she said, "Oh, you must
mean feek, kusk, dalu, and
liben!"
Of course the point behind this
short narrative by William
March is that words are symbols
for thoughts and since everybody
has "corruptible" thoughts their
will always be a word or symbol
to describe it.
Most everyone knows what the
acronym for fornication under
consent of the king means. No one
would be silly enough to say that
the mere mentioning of this act in
different terms such as "making
love" is obscene. The point they
find obscene is the crude
connotations lurking behind that
other word — that acronym — the
idea that its guttural sound
demeans the highest index of
human intimacy.

This isn't bothersome in and of

handy thing and like most of my
comrades in pens, I use it
reverentially. A problem only
comes about when a writer or
reporter wishes to invoke words
with demeaning and crude
connotations because the
situation calls-for it. Then the cr-
ies of innocence are heard and
the censors start grapping for
scissors. Immoral! Indecent!

And of course what was written

because the person who said it

the reporter whose sole ambition
was to get the story, intact,
unwatered and unwhitewashed to
the people. If it strains their
moral fiber the audience should
direct their chagrin to the
original source of blasphemy, not
the harmless conductor.
The desire of such an audience
is a curious thing. They have a
picture of the world they live in

have. What they see as

margin.
"It did not actually come forth
from the Student Government"
said Sheri Stevens, then
President of the SGA, explaining
why they would retract a
proposal that had the students
support. That seems simple
According to Stevens, many
people think that the paper is
biased. The major complaint is
that they do not feel the language
was properly edited, especially
in the instance aforementioned.
Sheri pointed out that since the
paper is mailed to colleges and
high schools throughout the area

is why the SGA would allow the In response to these complaints

proposal that mysteriously
appeared on the ballot the
Publications Board was re-
established, largely through the
efforts of Johnel Brown and Joe
Johnson, Feature Editor and
Editor-in-Chief of The Rotunda,
now members of the revitaUzed
board. It is through this board,
first place. Sheri Stevens said
this happened "through human
error." She allowed that the
matter was discussed at an
Executive Council meeting but
"it was never meant to be
brought before the students."
The reason for the Executive
Council discussion was response
indecent. Even though they may to student complaints about The which is basically separate from

something of an ideal which
certain Ix)ngwood students deify
and pray may never be changed.
That the quo remain status and
the official lines broadcast waves
of their own cosmeticized image
is their apostle's creed.
The SGA proposal was but a
small manifestation of the latent
hostility which is directed
towards publications that do not
kneel to the same deity. The
Rotunda serves a college
community as a microcosm of
Rotunda. Recently, under the
editorship of Joe Johnson, the
paper had changed it's masthead
from a fairly standard style to
what looks like an oriental new-
wave band logo. People thought
that was strange but the
masthead drew no direct
complaints to the paper. What

specifically what is inherent in
the SGA, and not from the SGA,
that control over the editors of
campus publications will occur.
Before this time, the Publications
Board had a constitution and
recognition but no people had
served in many of its posts for
quite some time.
The Board had its initial
meeting last semester, citing Joe
Johnson for violations of the
obscenity code, agreeing to
discuss the matter at a special
session and preparing a rebuttal
to the elect-editors proposal for
those words 'Free and Press' — it

major noted that some of the
emotional barriers were broken
between the two populations
(handicapped and able-bodied.)
"The people here tonight who
have never been exposed to this
type of thing," observed
sophomore Mimi Dreher, "may
now have a totally different
regard for handicapped persons
they see on the street. There's a
good chance that they may see
that they are just people who are
disabled in some way ~ not
freaks — and they want to be

One of those students who
doesn't know a great deal about
the subject, unknowingly, backs
up this thesis. A junior Business
major in the bleachers offered, "I
have seen several of these
games, and I really enjoy them.
It's better when it's two real
wheelchair teams, but it's a lot of

The Longwood All-Stars had
some of their own experiences.
"The most difficult part," said
Tony Perini, "was trying to get
used to dribbling and roll around
at the same time. The second
most difficult was playing an
aggressive team who knew what
they were doing. We were
definitely the handicapped team
out there," he quipped. "The
urge to get up and run was
tremendous!"
This exhibition game fulfills
several purposes, according to
Coach Hedrick. "Hopefully this
exhibition tour will have some
impact as far as program
development goes in different
parts of the country." The
purposes are 1) to increase
public awareness of this type of
athletics and 2) to demonstrate
that the participants are athletes

individuals."

compensate with this culture's
strong emphasis in sports, this
program gives these athletes a
chance to project positive
attitudes to the public. 2) The
program gives handicapped
persons an outlet to perform and
excel in an activity they enjoy
and gives the public a form of
honest entertainment, and 3) this
tour generates revenue for other
programs for handicapped
students. This program is fully
self-sustaining and receives no
subsidy outside their program.
The tour includes both

9-4 Lancers Begin Stretch Run
Playoff Berth A Possibility
Longwood's 9-4 men's
basketball team would like to find
itself in contention for a berth in
the NCAA Division II Playoffs
when the end of February rolls
around, but if the Lancers hope to
reach the playoffs they can afford
new losses the rest of the way.
With three wins in their last
four games, Longwood visited
Radford last night and hosts
Atlantic Christian Wednesday at
8:00. Upcoming are games with
Liberty Baptist, Virginia State
and Randolph-Macon. There are
no "sure wins" left on the
schedule, according to coach Cal
Luther. The Lancers entertain
Liberty Baptist next Tuesday
(Jan. 25).
"I still think we have a chance
at being considered for a berth,"
said Luther, "but, there's not a
single game left that you can say
is a sure win. Obviously, we
can't lose any more."
Three of Longwood's four
losses have come against highly
regarded teams — District of
Columbia, Central Connecticut
and Virginia Union. The Lancers
can definitely build a case for
having a strong schedule, but the
most important factor in playoff
consideration will be overall
record.
Last week Longwood
dispatched visiting Averett 8648
and it was Freshman Lonnie
Lewis and senior Ronn Orr who
provided the offensive punch.
Orr, who carries a 17.5 ppg.
average, scored 19 and Lewis
poured in 17 with many coming
from Long range.
Lewis, a prep standout at
Henrico High School, has scored
12, 14 and 17 points in his last
three outings since moving into
the starting lineup. His long
range scoring has given the
Lancer offense and added
dimension. The 6-3 forward is
also hitting 50 per cent of his
shots from the floor and 85.7 from
the line.
While senior guard Joe Remar
and junior forward Jerome
Kersey have always been sohd
scorers for Longwood, the duo
also contribute in a variety of
ways to the Lancers' success.
Remar, Longwood's career
leader in scoring, assists and
steals, is averaging 20 points, 4.8
assists, 2.8 steals and only 2.8
turnovers while shooting over 60
per cent from the floor. The
Lancer co-captain has 1,271
career points, 457 career assists
and 176 career steals.
Kersey, a pre-season small
college All-America pick, is
scoring 14.4 poinrs with 10.2
rebounds per game, but he's also
averaging 3.2 assists (he had
eight in one recent game). 3.4
steals and 1.7 blocked shots.
Kersey also has 13 dunks and
Remar, though a mere 6-1, has
slammed nine through the nets.
Freshman Stan Hull has shown
marked improvement recently
and will get more playing time
according to coach Cal Luther.
The 6-2 guard is a graduate of
Heritage High School.
In a preliminary to
Wednesday's contest between
Longwood and Atlantic Christian,
the Longwood junior varsity,
coached by Ernest Neal, will take
on powerful Fork Union. A
standout on the Fork Union squad
is 6-10 junior Chris Washburn, a
230-pounder who is rated as one of
the best high school centers in the
country. He's a native of Hickory,
North Carolina.

Lady Lancers Even Record
Face Three Games On Road
Sparked by the outstanding
play of Florence Holnmes, Cindy
Eckel, Robin Powell and
Mariana Johnson, Longwood's
Women's basketball team
dispatched Maryland Baltimore
County 73-55 Thursday and VCU
53-39 Saturday to raise its record
to 5.5.
This week the Lady Lancers
visited Radford last night, play at
Guilford Thursday at 6:00 and at
Pittsburgh-Johnstown
Saturday at 2:00 in what
promises to be a tough three-
game stretch.
Longwood played well both
offensively and defensively in
last week's victories. As a team
the Lady Lancers shot 48 per cent
from the floor against UMBC and
44 percent against VCU. Coach
Jane Miller's squad also reduced
its points allowed average to 57,6.
In the victory over UMBC,
Holmes scored 17 points, Johnson
16 and Powell 15 as Longwood
pulled away in the second half
after leading 32-29 at the break.
Both Johnson and Powell reached
new career highs in points. All
three Lady Lancer cagers shot
better than 50 per cent from the
floor, making 16 of 22 shots
between them. Site of the tilt was
Hampden-Sydney's Fleet
Gymnasium.
Saturday, in longwood's first
home game of 1983, senior Cindy
Eckel scored a season high 14
points (she now has 850 career
points) and Holmes added 12 as
Longwood outscored VCU 19-5 in
the last 11 minutes of the game to
win going away. The win was
Longwood's first over the Rams
since 1978 when the Lady Lancers
took a 55-53 decision.
Holmes continues to lead
Longwood in scoring and
rebounding with averages of 12.6
points and 6.7 rebounds per
contest. Johnson, who has
recovered a slow start shooting-
wise, is scoring 6.8 ppg. and
pulling doen 5.8 rpg.

I^ongwood's gymnastics team
opened its season with a tough
two-day road trip last week and
managed a victory over Western
Carolina Friday before suffering

Friday and Saturday, January 21
and 22.
Coach Steve Nelson's squad
placed in six of the ten weight
classes in individual competition.
Despite the lay off over
Christmas break, Nelson thought
his wrestlers performed well.
"Considering we had only four
days of practice before the
tournament, I thought we
wrestled competitively," noted
Nelson. "The second half of the
season is like starting over and I
expect the wrestlers to improve."
Among the Lancers' top
performers were Tim Fitzgerald,
a 118 pounder, Steve Kidwell, a
134 pounder, Chuck Campbell, a
150 pounder, and Steve Albeck, a
142 pounder. Freshmen
Fitzgerald and Kidwell each
were 2-1 and placed third. Soph.
Chuck Campbell placed second
with a 2-1 mark and is now 8-3
overall. Another sophomore
Steve Albeck was not seeded in
the tourney, but managed to run
up a 3-0 mark, and 7-5-1 overall,
to win the 150 weight class.
Albeck recorded wins of 17-6, 6-
2 and 7-3 over his opponents from
Elizabeth City State, Gloucester
Community College and Chowan
respectively to take the title.
"It was his best performance
ever considering the lay off,"
said Nelson. I hope he will
continue to wrestle
aggressively."
The lancer Grapplers roster is
trimmed to 14 due to injuries and
wrestlers leaving the team.

The Best and Worst of 1982
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
1982 was a lukewarm year for
the motion picture Industry,
which gave us a fair amount of
pleasing cinematic glimpses as
well as an equal number of
disappointments. "E.T. - The
Extra Terrestrial" warmed the
hearts of millions, while "Blade
Runner" put thousands to sleep.
"Star Trek II The Wrath of
Hahn" left us in blissful suspense
while "Porky's" brought high
school immaturity to the screen
for the slow minded movie-goer. -
"An Officer and a Gentleman"
helped lift Richard Gere's career
up where it belongs, while
"Annie" dropped director John
Huston to new depths. In short,
1962 had more than its share of
bad films, and in my opinion was
saved only by the Christmas re-
runs of "It's a Wonderful life."
But even in this polarized film
year, one movie stands alone as
the worst, and one as the best of
1982.
The worst fihn of 1982 was
"Monsignor". The publicity for
this movie contained the quote
"Forgive me father, for I have
sinned", which seems to
foreshadow the transgressions of
director Frank Perry. Perry's
finished product is like a starving
dog, trying to decide which bowl
of food to eat first. Is the movie
about a young priests wartime
experiences, his dealings with the
Mafia, or his romance with a
young, would-be nun? Perry
doesn't seem to have an answer.
Instead, he awkwardly pushes all
three plots together and attempts
to cover his indecisiveness with
jolting scene transitions that
startle the audience.
Not all of the sins are Perry's
though. An equal, if not greater
number belong to the film's star,
Christopher Reeve, best known
for his portrayal of Superman.
Reeve's character is Introduced
as a warm hearted, dedicated
young priest who, although he is
not above wrong doing, seems to
have a conscience that will make
him think twice before doing
anything Illegal. However, after
the first thirty minutes of the
ttim, Reeve abandons this type of
characterization for a
performance whose ambiguity
and Inconsistencies make It
unbelievable and boring. In parts
of the film where the emotions of
the priest could enhance the plot,
Reeve shows only a blank
expression. His acting is very
plastic and reason enough for
avoiding this flhn.
The best film of 1982 is "The
Verdict". From its very base
components to its final editing,
this movie is excellent in every
way. David Mamet's screenplay
is the best since Pinter's "The
French Lieutenants Woman."
The dialogue Is superb and holds
the attention of the audience
without cheap gags or over
worked violence. Director Sidney
Humet take this screenplay and
molds It into a fine motion
picture, in vfhich he uses slight,
but noticeable detail to highlight
the contrast between the films,
two law camps. Aiding Humet in
this task Is a superior supporting
cast that includes Charlotte
Rampllng, and veteran film
actors Jack Warden and James
Mason, A particularly good
performance Is given by Mllo
O'Shea as a contemptable
courtroom judge.
The real acting laurels go to the
film's star, Paul Newman. As
lawyer Frank Galvln, Newman
outshines his previous per
formances by bringing new depth
and insight to a character.
His emotional reactions run the
gamet from the bewilderment of
a man without hope to the
intensity of an attorney
determined to win an Impossible
case. Newman's acting reaches
Its peak during the final
courtroom scene, when he
delivers his stirring final
summation to the jury. During
this brief segment, he promotes
the true spirit, rather than the
letter of the law.
At the 1980 Academy Awards,
Dustln Hoffman received the best
actor award for "Kramer v.s.
Kramer". At the time I could not
help but think that this
recognition was more of an
apology to Hoffman for the
Academy's failure to recognize
him for his other, more superior
films, such as "Uttle Big Man"
and "The Graduate", m 1983,
Paul Newman Is destined to be

nominated for the Academy's
Best Actor award. If he should
happen to receive this award, It
will not be for the same reason as
in Hoffman's case. Even though
he has starred in such films as
"Cool Hand Luke" and "The
Sting", "The Verdict"" Is by far
Paul Newmans best work.
These two films, "Monsignor"
and "The Verdict" are as
opposite as It Is possible to be.
One is the product of a spasmodic
directing attempt, while the other
epitomizes great directing. One
has a leading actor that falls to

while the other has a star whose
performance, makes you cheer.
One reminds us of all the
disappointing films of 1982, while
while the other rises up, lending a
small hope to the patrons that
maybe It wasn't all so bad.

Nuclear Waste Meets Opposition
By JOHNEL BROWN
Hospitals, power plants and
research centers all generate low
level nuclear wastes. Presently
federal law requires that each
state either a ) dispost of its own
waste within the state, or ideally
b) join into a compact with other
states for a central dumpsite.
Virginia is dumping 90 per cent
of its low-level wastes in
Barnwell, South Carolina, and
the rest in Hanford Washington.
The facility in Barnwell will
cease operation in 1992, therefore
Virginians must choose an
alternative.
Procedures are underway to
locate a dumpsite in Virginia to
receive the nuclear wastes from
eight other states. Low-level
nuclear wastes include
contaminated clothing, trash and
other exposed tools and
chemicals. There was a meeting
in the Gold Room in Lankford.
Wednesday night, Jan. 19, as Bob
Testin of the Virginia Solid Waste
Commission and Stuart
Donaldson of ERM consultants
faced a defensive, objecting
audience of nearly 150 people
including townspeople and
students. The crowd was
gathered to learn more about the
proposed disposal of low-level
nuclear wastes in Southside
Virginia.
Mr. Teshin was caught a bit off
guard by the size of the audience,
as the meeting was initially
planned to be a conglomerate of
"civic leaders" and the
"important decisionmakers" of
the counties in question.
According the Mr. Testin,
specific public hearings were
scheduled for later dates, and
that the Wednesday meeting was
not to become a public forum.
Despite any original intentions,
people from Prince Edward,
Charlotte, Buckingham and
surrounding counties were
determined to be heard.
And heard they were.
Stuart Donaldson, of ERM
consultants, is employed by the
Solid Waste Commission to
research and analyze the notion
of disposal in "appropriate"
sites.
Mr. Donaldson explained that
the selection of a dump site for
low-level nuclear wastes was a
long-term process and included
technical and political aspects
and public input as partial
criterion for the final choice. The
selection of a site includes three
major phases. The first of which
is not complete but consists of
spotting potential areas,
considering public health
interests and identifying
unsuitable areas for the dump
site. Statewide maps provide the
screening for unsuitable areas on
the basis of geological or
geographical inadequacies, or
densely populated areas. By the
end of the first phase, the
candidate areas, or sites of
"higher probability" are left.
Phase II includes further
screening with more technical
criterion to be considered. Mr.
Donaldson pointed out that this is
a crucial stage and that public
safety and environmental
standards are the focus point.
"Wastes might conceivably seep
out" according to Mr. Donaldson,
therefore it's vital to consider
aspects like the permeability of
the soil. The result of Phase II
will be the selection of 6
candidate sites. This phase is
projected for completion by April
1, of this year.
Finally, Phase III will go
through intensive litigation to
arrive at one primary site with 3-
4 alternate sites.
Mr. Donaldson composed a
questionnaire that was
distributed to a select group of
"public leaders". The
questionnaire was designed to
ascertain pubhc attitudes and
sentiments regarding nuclear
generation and disposal, and it
became the focus of objections at
the meeting.
"This questionnaire is
biased... it asks questyions like
'Why do you hate your
mother'..." Charged Cpt Charles
Baron, chairman of the Citizen's
Hazardous Waste Facility
Committee of Prince Edward
County. Cpt. Baron continued to
outline the specific slant to each
question, pointing out that there
were no qualatative answers for
the vague questions.
"Who the hell made up this
questionnaire that lives in these
counties?" Commonwealth
Attorney for Charlotte County,
Edwin Baker demanded. He said
that due to the bias of the
questions, Charlotte County
refused to submit answers.
Mr. Teshin defended that the
questionnaire was only to gain
insight to public feeling and to the
potential problems. Mr. Baker
moved again, "You've already
created the problem. We're
.trying to end it!"
Mr. Testin, offended by the
heated objections reacted."Look,
we're out here to take your heat,
but also to get your input."
The audience was defensive
and seemed ready for attack.
"We don't want it! (a nuclear
dump site). "The first I heard
about any of this, they were
planning on putting the site in the
middle of my farm."
It was a case of the farmers
and people of the good life versus
the "Government officials in
three piece suits with
Briefcases." The combination
was a volatile one and
represented the beginning of a
long upwards haul for both the
citizens of Southside and for the
Solid Waste Commission.
Cuts and the Prevailing Attitude
By DAVID AREFORD
and CINDY CORELL
Most every Longwood College
student has, at one time or
another, ventured past the
Rotunda's Joan of Arc, into East
Ruffner, maybe just as far as the
Registrar's office, maybe even
farther to the Payroll Office to
pick up a check, or the more
common experience may be a
quick trip down the hall, to the
left, where the restrooms are
tucked away. As they hurry
along, caught up in the personal
routines of being a college
student, they tend to overlook the
blue, lurid lettering that graces
the yellow doors of the main hall
of Administration. This is only
one of many halls which house
the administrative staff of
Longwood College, and their
complex workings.
Last Friday, the executive
committee of the Longwood
College Board of Visitors met in a
day long affair which included 22
agenda items. Dr. Verna
Armstrong, Vice President of
Business affairs was called on to
present one of the more
important topics: the issue of
budget cuts. What are these cuts
and to what extent will they
affect Longwood college? How
will the administration, housed
beyond the Registrar's Office,
Payroll Office and restrooms,
deal with such cuts? Can
Longwood College students look
beyond the perimeters of their
personal routines to realize the
crucial role that these
administrators play daily in
guiding and promoting their
college?
The evening before the
executive committee meeting.
The Rotunda met with Dr.
Armstrong to discuss her
presentation in an interview that
also touched on other areas
important to the college.
Dr. Armstrong, interrupting
her preparation for the meeting
the next day, cleared a space at
her work table for us, jumbling a
collection of computer data,
official reports, and micro-
cassettes, to the rear of the table.
She began to explain the
situation.
Longwood College is facing the
fact of a 5 percent budget cut to
state institutions for the fiscal
year 1982-83, and more recently,
Governor Charles Robb, in his
annual State of the
Commonwealth speech, proposed
an additional cut of 6 percent for
the fiscal year 1983-84.The 5
percent cut cost the college
$308,900.00. The main part of
Armstrong's report to the
committee was an update of ways
the college is meeting this cut.
Steps toward meeting the 82-83
cut include the delay of filling
positions, the minimizing of long
distance phone expenses, the
delay of equipment purchases,
the cutting of adniinistrative
operating budgets, and the
conservation of energy.
Armstrong points out that there
has been no employer layoffs,
and that the retention of faculty is
a major goal. She also makes a
point of mentioning that the
budgets of academic
departments and student affairs
have not been reduced, and that
there are no plans to do so.
Dr. Armstrong could only
speculate on the extent of the 6
percent cut and its effects, but
she did estimate that the 6
percent cut would actually mean
nine or ten percent because the
total cut encompasses not only 6
percent off the top but also the
subtraction of monies
appropriated for salary increases
and student financial aid. Thus,
as a result of this proposed cut,
Longwood College could possibly
lose as much as a half-miUion
dollars.
As of yet. Gov. Robb has given
no suggestion to state funded
colleges of how they might deal
with the proposed cut, should it
pass. The House Appropriations
conunittee, in their analysis of
Robbs plans, came to the
conclusion that he is cutting
without any idea of how
Virginia's college and university
system will work, and is reducing
for the sake of reducing.
Armstrong could only say, "We
feel that it will be really, really
tough if this gets through the
legislature. We're talking about a
lot of money not being made
available to the college, and " she
sighs, "it is going to call for some
interesting actions... we will have
to look at all the goals that we
have for the college as well as the
continuing of activities... it would
come down to some good hard
decisions. Obviously we can't do
more with less money."
It will take the college several
months to analyze and even begin
dealing with the 6 percent cut.
Armstrong can only provide
general information.
Throughout our interview,
though, we were struck by a
prevailing attitude that we think
deserves analysis. It is not only
the attitude with which the
administration will deal with the
current cuts, but it is one that has
and will surface in all public
dealings of the college. It seems
this attitude, (or could it best be
called a philosophy?) was a
result of the inauguration of
President Janet D. Greenwood,
and her appointments of new
administrators, what we would
like to refer to as the Greenwood
Army, all united under the cause
of promoting of Longwood at all
costs.
What then is the fine line
between Longwood's P.R. — the
language of the Greenwood era,
as a recent Ricmond Times-
Dispatch editorial termed it —

Gifts to Longwood
Reach All-Time High
Total voluntary private gift
support to Longwood College and
the Longwood College
Foundation, Inc., reached a
record 11,058,909.77 in calendar
year 1982, according to an
announcement made today by
Donald Lemish, vice president
for Institutional Advancement.
"Two major bequests to the
college provided new
endowments totaling more than
$750,000. Also, three new
scholarship endowments were
funded during the year," said
Hunter Sledd, Jr., president of
the Longwood College
Foundation.
The record voluntary support
figures represent a 180 per cent
increase over the previous high
year of 1978 when the college
received $377,916.91 in gifts and
bequests.
"We are deeply grateful to the
many volunteer alumni, friends
and students who made 1982 such
an outstanding year. The Board
of Visitors, Foundation directors,
faculty, alumni, parents and
students all worked with the
college staff in fundraising
efforts. And it is obvious that the
involvement of these people in an
organized effort by staff has
proved most beneficial to
advancement of the college,"
Sledd emphasized.
Lemish pointed out that a very
significant increase was
Food Prices
Hold The Line
The Farmville area market
basket cost 16 cents more this
month than it did in December.
But this month's figure of $60.39
is 51 cents less than the cost of the
market basket in January 1982.
And, for the second consecutive
month, Farmville's market
basket is not the highest in the
state. The Richmond market
basket cost $61.03 this month.
Among the 40 items included in
the local market basket, 15 items
increased slightly in cost this
month, 11 decreased, and 14
items remained unchanged from
December.
The items with slightly higher
prices were flour, bread, pork
chops, fryers, tuna fish, milk,
eggs, bananas, oranges,
cabbage, potatoes, com, cola
drinks, shortening and grape
jelly.
Price decreases were noted for
soda crackers, round steak,
hamburger, bacon, hot dogs,
frozen haddock, frozen orange
and
juice, celery, lettuce, peas
coffee.
Prices remained unchanged for
com flakes, cheese, ice cream,
evaporated milk, frozen green
beans, apples, carrots, onions,
peaches, tomatoes, tomato soup,
peanut butter, margarine and
sugar.
As month-to-month changes in
food prices have become less, the
difference between the high-
priced basket and the low-priced
basket also has become less. This
month, the difference between
the high and low baskets was
$6.72.
Dr. Anthony Cristo, who directs
the local market basket survey,
states that "bargains may still be
found, but consumers are going
to have to search more diligently
to find them."
The Farmville market basket
study is an ongoing project of the
Economics Seminar Qass at
Longwood College, taught by Dr.
Cristo.
Missy Seay^
Artist of the Month
Mary Churchill Seay, a
Sophomore Art Major, is
Longwood College's Artist-of-the-
Month for January 1983. Missy
transferred from Meredith
College in Raleigh, North
Carolina, to pursue a B.F.A. in
Art, probably in painting and
drawing.
The faculty of the Art
Department awarded this honor
for her untitled acrylic painting
because of the outstanding design
and execution of her spacial
illusions.
Missy has always had a strong
interest in drawing and painting,
since she first was able to pick up
a crayon. Evidence of this early
interest still exists on the back of
her mother's closet door as she
first began wall murals at the age
of 3. Throughout her junior and
senior high school, she took
private lessons to help satisfy her
artistic interest. In her junior
year. Missy's art teacher was
Petie Grigg, a former Art Major
and graduate of Longwood
College. The daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. M.L. Seay of Richmond,
Missy was graduated from
Douglas Freeman High School.
Her painting will be on display
in the Bedford Building
throughout the month of January.
The public is cordially invited to
visit the Art Department of
Longwood and view this work of
art as well as other students'
work.

over the 1981 total of $40,114.26.
Gifts were received from 640

phenomenal increase over 1981,"
exclaimed Lemish. The total 1981
annual fund was just over
$180,000 from fewer than 1,800
donors.
"I believe these incredible
increases can be attributed to
positive feelings about the college

Webber Discusses
Computer
The next Faculty Colloquium
Lecture at Longwood College will
explore what happens inside a
computer that enables the
machine to produce the desired
result.
Dr. Robert P. Webber,
associate professor of
mathematics and computer
science, will discuss "Input-
Output Operations on a
Computer" on Wednesday
evening, January 26, at 7:30 in
the Wygal Building. The lecture
is open to the public at no charge.
In his lecture. Dr. Webber will
concentrate on input and output
operations on the Radio Shack
TRS80, one of the popular
microcomputers on the market.
"People who program
computers using high level
languages such as BASIC or
FORTAN, or those who use
program packages written by
others, miss an appreciation for
what happens inside the
computer," Dr. Webber said.
On the other hand, the
assembly language programmer
"becomes intimately acquainted
with the inner workings of the
machine."
He will use original assembler
programs to put the computer
through its input-output paces.
Dr. Webber holds the Ph.D. in
mathematics from the
University of Tennessee. A
member of the Longwood faculty
since 1972, he is the author of
college-level textbooks on
PreCalculus and Mathematics
for the Consumer and has
presented many papers at
national and regional meetings of

Your Turn
To the Editor,
I would like to use this space to
respond to Mr. Allen Aitken's
letter to the Editor, entitled "Dr.
Hyde." In this sniveling
excuse for his own failure to
achieve, Mr. Aitken manages to
slander one of the finest
professors at Longwood, Dr.
Helms.
Mr. Aitken claims to have
studied 15-17 hours for the second
exam in Dr. Helms American
History class. Really Allen, you
should know that it's not how
much you study but how well you
study that counts.
Mr. Aitken then quotes Dr.
Helms, out of context of course.
As telling a young lady that if she
was ner/ous around him "to take
Valium". A serious charge, as Dr.
Helms is a Doctor of Philosophy,
not medicine. I am confident,
however, that if put in its proper
context it would show Dr. Helms
to be kidding.
Poor, poor Allen. He goes on to
conceed that his score of zero for
writing in pencil was "due in
part" to his own carelessness.
What Allen fails to point out was
that he was told at least four
times of the written rules
applying to the test. First at the
beginning of the course; second
on the course outline which he
was told to bring to his tests;
third Dr. Hehns told him just
before he took the test,
remember; fourth, at the top of
the test itself. No, Allen the zero
you received was not "due in
part" to your carelessness, but
rather w^s due totally and
entirely to your carelessness.
Suppose you graduate someday
and apply for a job somewhere
and the employer states that you
can't use pencils (once, not four
times) and you do, what do you
think your chances are for
getting that job? Employers want
staffs who can take directions
correctly.
Mr. Aitken then goes on to
make the silliest of his
accusations. (For effect imagine
soft violins playing in the
background, as tears swell up in
your eyes). He states that Dr.
Helms treats students as "less
than human". I have had Dr.
Helens for a number of courses
and never have I been treated as
"less than human", No I've
never been tarred and feathered,
keel havled, flogged, bended,
folded, spindled or mutilated. I
have however, because of Dr.
Helms political prominence been
able to meet then Atty-Gen.
Marshall Coleman, then Gov.
John Dalton, then Rep. and now
Sen Paul Trible and Sen. John
Warner. As far as Sen. Trible was
concerned, Dr. Helms brought
him to see us. If this is how Dr.
HeUns inhumanly treats his
students, I can't wait to see how
he humanly treats them.
Mr. Aitken then states that Dr.
Helms should become part of the
environment conducive to
education in order for his
students to learn and grow. In
light of this statement, I would
suggest to Mr. Aitken that he
repeat this course at his local
community College or with an
easier professor. For what Mr.
Aitken simply lacks the ability tO'
understand is that Dr. Helms is
truly the personification of these
elements.

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY
JANUARY 3, 1983
Trisha Boyle, JSew SGA President
Adheres to Time Honored Philosophy
the students. The position was not
very effective in the past because
it wasn't well-organized. At the
end of my freshman year a
reorganization of SGS began, and
it's definitely helped. This year
we're going to work on internal
organization, promoting
awareness of student
government and combatting
apathy."
Two of her goals are
establishing an Appeals Board
for elections, which would handle
election-related complaints, and
having the Student Senate meet
weekly instead of twice a month.
As SGA president, Trisha
oversees both the 10-member
Executive Council and the 42-
member Senate. Four
committees — Campus Life,
Residence Hall Life, Student
Union and Legislative Review —
report to the Senate. The first
three committees initiate most
activities and suggest policy
proposals to the Senate, which
then makes its recommendations
to the president.
Interestingly, all of this year's
SGA officers are junior class
officers. The other SGA officers
are Lynda Whitley, vice-
president; Cole Shanahan,
corresponding secretary;
Carolyn Tinsley, recording
secretary; and Judy Philbrook,
treasurer. "It's not a clique, as
some people think; it's just that
the same students do
everything," said Trisha. "When
the administration wants
something done, it knows who to
turn to."
Another coincidence lies in the
fact that three of the past four
SGA presidents have been
members of Alpha Gamma
Delta. They include Cherie
Stevens, Trisha's predecessor,
and Tammy Bird, who was
president two years before
Cherie 's term.
Trisha, who wants to teach high
school business, enjoys the
closeness between faculty and
students at Longwood. "If you
miss class one day, the next day
the instructor will ask you 'Were
you sick? We missed you.' I like
that."
Although Longwood's SGA has
traditionally been strong, Trisha
pointed out, it was hurt in recent
years by apathy and
misunderstanding over its
reorgainization. "Since the
restructuring, we've been
somewhat weak because we
haven't gotten ourselves
organized. We can become much
more effective."
Trisha Boyle is just the person
to set matters right again. She
doesn't mind hard work.
Trisha Boyle, Longwood
College's new Student
Government Association
president, believes
in an old-fashioned virtue — hard
work.
"I'm a carbon copy of my
father; he's a go-getter," she
said. "There's a lot to be offered,
but no one's going to hand it to
you. You've got to work for it.
Being the youngest of six
children, I've had to fight for
everything."
That philosophy has carried
her a long way. A business
education major from Virginia
Beach, Trisha has held a variety
of SGA, class and sorority offices
at Longwood. She was freshman
class president, served as Alpha
Gamma Delta's recording
secretary last year and this year
is its rush chairman, and she is
currently the junior class
secretary.
Also, she is a Longwood
Ambassador (a student public
relations organization), was the
Oktoberfest "Festmeister" and
was a resident assistant last
year. "I've had my hand or foot
or mouth into everything here,"
she laughed.
Trisha, who took over as SGA
president this month, defined her
role simply: I'm a liaison
between the administration and
Your Turn
Dear Editor,
I would like to express my
heartiest dissatisfaction on the
previous editions of our school
paper. I am appalled at the front
page articles that you continue to
put in print.
Let me first say, that I am not
appalled at the issues
themselves, but appalled at the
fact that you headline them and
place them on the front page.
"Longwood or Bongwood",
"Longwood's Gay Society" and
Abortion are the major issues
that you have focused on just
recently. I realize these issues do
exist in our society today and I
am not alone when I ask you —
Why are you blowing the matters
out of hand? Drugs were a
controversial issue in high school
it's only natural that drugs would
continue to exist in college. Do
you think that if you print these
"eye-catching" articles that
more people would read The
Rotunda? If so, think again. I
have never heard more people
groan and put the paper down. I
as well as many others I know
would much rather be informed
on how the basketball team is
doing, how successful the mixers
we have are, or any other special
attractions that have or have
been on Longwood's campus.
Stop pressing so hard on all of the
problems of our society today and
reflect on some good aspects of
campus life. I feel sorry for you
Mr. Editor — You are beating a
dead horse.

Stallone Film Bleeds Audience
By rHED W. CAMPBELL
Hollywood rarely misses a
trick. Pick any subject, from the
creation of the earth to nuclear
energy, and you can bet that
someone over there has made a
film about it. Consider, if you
will, the Vietnam conflict. Movie
studios have turned out dozens of
films depicting the havoc and
bloodshed of the era, such as
"The Deer Hunter" and
"Apocalypse Now," most of
which allude to the idea that
American involvement in the
struggle was a mistake. "First
Blood", released by Onrion
pictures, makes a similar
statement and goes one step
further by examining the plight
of Vietnam veterans in this
country. This is admirable, but
there is one problem: it doesn't
do it very well.
The film's plot, based on a
novel by David Morrel, has
something for everyone in the
"Smokey and the Bandit" crowd.
Sylvester Stallone plays Vietnam
veteran Jack Rambo, who
singlehandedly takes on the
entire police force and National
Guard of a Washington
community named, ironically
enough, Hope. The police
denartment of the town, lead by
Sheriff Will Teasle, played by
Brian Dennley, is made up of
every redneck extra the studio
could find. After being arrested
and abused by this undertrained,
overpaid group, Rambo escapes,
and with the aid of various
weapons, both stolen and of his
own design, proceeds to either
kill or disgrace each of them. To
the rescue comes his former
commander, Dolonel Troutman,
played very poorly by Richard
Crena. After several hours and at
least five arsenals of
ammunition, Rambo is taken into
custody and the conflict is
resolved.
Ted Kotcheff evidently
directed this movie over the
telephone, if at all. He takes up
too much time with a very
juvenile array of car crashes and
explosions that make "The Blues
Brothers" seem like a Day Care
documentary. The majority of
the scenes are set up in a very
awkward manner and point to
either his lack of ability or lack of
experience as a director.
whichever the case may be.
Another of the film'? severe
problems is its screenplay. Its
dialogue reads like a re-run of
"The Dukes of Hazzard." for
example, when Sheriff Teasle
first confronts the shaggy maned
Rambo, he utters such less than
memorable lines as "We don't
like guys like you around here."
and "If you're looking for trouble
boy, you've come to the right
place," The audience responded
with laughter. Need I say more?
Despite its problems, I found
certain parts of "First Blood"
very entertaining. The credit for
this goes to the film's star,
Sylvester Stallone. He is, by far,
one of the best physical actors
since Marlen Brando. Stallone
has very few lines in the film, but
the bodily aspects of his
character yield the best acting
job of the entire film. Although
this is not his best performance
(personally, I think his best was
the 1977 film "FIST", which he
wrote, directed and starred in), it
is very refreshing to see him
explore areas other than the
boxing ring.
After a string of excellent films
about Vietnam, it is saddening to
see Hollywood come up with a
film as disappointing as "First
Blood" especially since its
its message, that of America's ill
treatment of its Vietnam
veterans is unique and importa t
Murphy Average hut Still Effective Coda Back
to Basics
In an age where mediocrity has
stagnated, where the final
desperate jabs against the
conservative American success
ethic are over for the time being,
Eddie Murphy fits right in. King
of the most recent "Saturday
Night Live" court, Murphy is a
prime example of the fact that
although American
entertainment today is of good
quality, it is not top notch.
His album, E^dle Murphy, on
the Columbia label, is good, but
not great, just as "Saturday
Night Live", the newest Ford
Mustang, the Go^o's and the
current World Series champs are
good, but not great. Like
everything else on the
contemporary American scene,
Murphy's comedy is hybrid. His
most obviosus borrowings are
from Richard Pryor in the form
of overabundant abusive
language and his attempts at
distinguishing black American
culture from white. "When I go to
the movie, I'm going to the white
theater cause black people be
talkin to the screen. 'What the
f...you gonna do now! You done
dropped your pistol when you
broke through the window!"
He does other routines
developing on the racial barrier
but he is never as convincing as
Pryor was before he burned out
(no pun intended). This is
perhaps because Murphy was
brought up in the middle class
and not in the poor where most of
the material that has inspired
past comedians, black and white,
has come from.
In addition to this style.
Murphy is capable of working
with the old Bill Cosby style of
personifying his friends and
relatives. Going from drunk
fathers to cold grandmothers to
scared girls. Murphy gets a fair
amount of laughs but never
threatens to bring the house down
as his predecessors did routinely.
Where Murphy is best is not
when he tries to relate his
audiencre to characters out of his
own experience but when he talks
about something we are all
familiar with. Take the new voice
systems that have replaced
buzzers in cars; "I put the key in
the car and the car said, 'Hey
man, somebody stole your
battery! I say we go get the
mother !"
If I had my choice I would make
Murphy live in Harlem for about
ten years and bring back Pryor,
for whom all the foul language is
a useful device. I would bring
back George Carlin to describe a
Hell's Angel gone preppy. I would
bring back Woody Allen to cast
his own neurotic self in to the
character of Billy Graham's
hatchet man. But this can not
happen and for now we will have
to accept Eddie Murphy as the
top comedian around. But one
thing makes that acceptance
easy. That is his comment about
one particularly evil man. "Now
what's your rationale for
shooting the Pope. I guess the guy
figured, "Hey look, I want to go to
Hell and I don't want to stand in
line with everybody else. I want
to take the Hell Express."
Even in mediocrity, we are
sometimes capable of Brilliant
flashes.
Incidentally, both sides of the
album are ended by studio songs
and not by comedy routines.
Don't bother listening to the
songs.

A coda is "a closing section in a
musical composition that is
formally distinct from the main
structure."
Led Zeppelin's "new" album is
called Coda, and as the title
suggests, I guess that's the last
we'll hear from Zeppelin as far as
new material and the whole band
is concerned.
This album is Zeppelin in the
form we know and love. Their
last album, In Through the
Outdoor was a step in a different
direction for Zepp. It was a more
modem "sound like everyone
else" album.
Coda is back to the basics. It
consists of material previously
recorded, but never released.
One strange thing about this
album is that it contains some
material that was written by
other people (such as Willie
Dixon). Usually Zepp does their
own stuff.
The album starts out with
someone else's cut, called We're
Gonna Groove. The beginning of
it sounds like a garage band with
a quick drunmier and a guitarist
playing his two favorite chords.
Of course, Zeppelin can get away
with this, and they also do an
excellent job of it.
When Poor Tom comes on, you
stop and just listen to the drums.
Unreal! It's a wonder anyone can
keep a beat that difficult
throughout the whole song, but
gone and not forgotten, John
Bonham does it.
Coda has a lot of great
drumming. In fact, the whole
album seems to feature Bonham.
(This is a good album for
beginning to listen to if you want
to hear what they'll never sound
like).
I Can't Quit You Baby. This is
the Dixon song, and it's not the
same one as on Led Zeppelin III.
This is downright Blues, and
features guitarist Jimmy Page at
his all-time best. If you ever hear
this song, listen to Page and cry !
Walter's Walk is one of those
songs that is good, but it just
doesn't reach out and grab you.
On side two is the song that's
gotten the most air play from
Coda. It's called Ozone Baby, and
it moves. It features Page
playing a Sub Octivider, and
excuse me for being dumb, but I
have no idea what it is.
Darlene is a little hard to
understand, and it misses the
touch of the sub-octivider !
Contrary to what CREEM
Magazme says. Bonze's
Montreux is the high point of the
album. It's a pretty simple drum
solo by John Bonham, but man, is
it powerful! This guy is the
undisputed king of the bass drum.
Closing out Coda is Wearing
and Tearing which has also been
getting a little air play. It suffers
from bad recording, as does the
whole album.
One great thing about this
album is that it doesn't have that
perfect studio feel. It has that
great live feeling.
Zeppelin is one fourth gone
(John Bonham) and as the cliche
says, all good things must come
to an end. It's just a shame that it
all had to end because of the
death of an excellent musician
and a founding member of the
band.

Witch Hunt At Longwood
January 17, 1983: 10:10 a.m. —
A Monday. A prevalent notton is
spreading amongst Longwood
students concerning witches on
campus. Some passing words
from a friend are "Did you hear
about the witches?" No one is
quite sure what to make of it all.
Theories abound, one of the more
persuasive — that a troupe of
Hamsters too drunk to walk are
spreading vicious rumors about
Longwood females. A possibility
— I disregard no hypothesis until
all the evidence is in.
10:50 a.m. I am down in the
bowels of Lankford building near
the post office and have just seen
verifiable proof — a poster
"Witchcraft - The Path of
Wisdom, 6:00 p.m. French Lobby
Room — Presented by the
Department of Philosophy". This
is too hot for me. I am thinking
about calling Darwin McGavin of
the "Nightstalker" series, but
remember he is dead — perhaps
an evil portent. I will go it alone.
6:30 p.m. — I arrive
fashionably late. The French
lobby is well lighted, 20-30
Longwood students and faculty
members are massaging each
other's backs and giggling. A
small mousy woman in a long
plaid kilt and a black blouse is
speaking. This is Lady Yvonne
Frost, according to the posters.
One of the two leading witches in
the U. S. The other leading witch
is her husband, Gavin Frost.
He is sitting
in a sweat suit and smiling —
There are no cackles.
6:34 p.m. — I sit down near the
front. I hope Yvonne doesn't
notice the wooden crucifix, bottle
of Holy Water, and silver bullets
which are bulging my pockets
outward. She might smell the
garlic around my neck but there
is nothing I can do. It's too late
now.
6 : 36 p.m. — The lecture begins :
Founders of the church and -
School of Wicca in Newborn,
N.C., Yvonne and Gavin Frost set
Witchcraft as the cornerstone of
their faith. Witchcraft or as the
Anglo-Saxon word it is derived
from implies — wise craft
incorporates everything but
the kitchen sink — poly-
theism, monotheism, para-i
psychology, astral entities
negative torces, positive forces,
dawn power, raised power,
Auhnks and black stars, but I am
suspicious. They don't act like
witches. There is no incense, no
eye of the newt, no warts, no
steaming potions. Gabin is a flesh
and blood jolly Jack Frost — a
close trimmed Santa Claus.
Yvonne could pass for a latter
day Barbara Walters. There is no
real hiearchy to their religion and
only one real code "And it harm
no one. Do what you will."
The Frosts say "Witchcraft is
about living the most decent life
you can. In accordance with
what's natural, that's what it's
about, not blue balls of fire."
"Lies, lies," I think and finger
my silver bullets.
6:48 p.m. — The lecture contin-
ues: An English man. Frost first
got caught up in witchcraft in
1956, the year the English
witchcraft law was repealed. He
has a Ph.D. in mathematics from
London University and was vice-
president in charge of
international sales for Emerson
Electric in 1972 when he and his
wife began making witchcraft the
focus of their lives.
They raised hogs in Newbum,
N.C. for a while (Newbum is
where the first amendment
guaranteeing freedom of religion
was written — a fact the Frosts
frequently mention) and finally
started the Wicca Church. They
Experience." According to this
240 page rhetorical reader
resembling a fad diet book, a
person can learn to travel
forward and backward in time,
perform exercises and improve
on individual sex lives. They also
make a few interesting assertions
from their own experiments in
this area. (90 per cent success
rate, thus far) such as 1) There is
no hell (they assigned 2,000
people to find it during a
controlled out of the body
experience (OBE) and they
couldn't ). 2) Celestial
entities known to laymen as
souls, weigh exactly 2 ounces.
(During an OBE, a person whose
soul was flapping here and yon
laid his body on a scale. In each
case it was found to weigh 2 oz.
less when the soul was in flight)
3) As an astral entity travels
toward the future its
environment becomes brassy and
malleable, changing constantly.
Conversely as it travels toward
the past its environment begins to
fade out and becomes less
definite.
Their theological system is
unconventional in the extreme.
They believe in a non-identifiable
Prime-Mover which corresponds
roughly to an omnipresent
being (someone kept yelling
Spinoza! ) Underneath or above or
in the middle of this Prime Mover
There are a host of lesser god
figures, which exists as a result
of our belief in their existence.
Our pyschic energies fuel and
up this chain of god entities.
When a human concentrates by
prayer or meditation on one of
these images he is adding that
much more energy to it.
Magic, if one can call it that, is
can really bum them.
7:05 p.m. — I shift in the chair,
my hand Ts on the crucifix. I
recall a scene from an occult
movie in which a person tries to
ward off an evil witch with a
paper mache crucifix. She dies
because it is not made of wood. I
dig my fingemails into the cross.
Just to make certain. Gavin is
discussing entropy with
philosophy Professor Dr. James.
What has witchcraft got to do
with entropy? I wonder. Or for
that matter the other terms being
thrown about — clairvoyance,
telekinesis, telepothy. Has
mysticism given way to
empiricism? Has empiricism
given way to mysticism? The
phrase "All in the Mind" keeps
bouncing, around my skull.
7:15 p.m. — Discussion has
turned to the uses of magic. The
Frosts' profess an interest in long
range healing. Using a
photograph ■ or lock of hair from
received tax exempt status and ^^^^^y ^^^ tapping of potential
began writing books and offering g^ergy stored in these god
correspondence courses such as
"Basic Witchcraft" $100) or "Pr
actical Sorcery" ($140). Their
latest how-to book on the occult is
"Astral travels. Your Guide to
the Secrets of Out of the Body
in inese goa or
messiah concepts. And to do this,
one uses the greatest tool any
witch has — the mind.
"Sure ... in the mind". I think.
That's what they want you to
believe. I wonder if Holy Water
the "client" in question and
performing the necessary rituals
to "tap" the latent energy
resources for healing purposes.
Their pet disease is arthirtis; one
that they claim is pychosomatic.
Yvonne says "this isn't Lourdes,
it's New Bem or Farmville . . .We
don't need pilgrims on crutches''
Witches heal?
7:30 p.m. — The lecture is
coming to a close. I wonder if
anyone has been converted. The
Frosts do not proselytize, yet still
have 2,500 students enrolled in
their courses and by their own
estimates have reached about
20,000 people. They run ads in
such magazines as Psychology
Today and the National
Enquirer. Which makes one
wonder if w itchcraft is a grossly
underrated untidy religion with
such concepts as reincarnation,
levitation and faith healing rolled
into a messy jpetaphysical
bundle; or is it a giant, good
natured hoax? I reach
to shake Yvonne's hand — It's
smooth and waxy. I remember
Yvonne saying that she is looking
forward to being reincarnated as
a dolphin which she thinks is a
higher life form. I have a difficult
time picturing her as a dolphin.
But then I have a difficult time
picturing either of them as
witches.

A Look At Corporate America— Nestle's Promotion
of Infant Formula
ByJUDYPHILBROOK
If there is "a demand for a
product one manufactures, one
should be able to sell it, right?
The Switzerland-based company
Nestle feels that their infant
formulas are supplying a demand
in Third World nations, and that
they should be able to sell the
products to anyone who wishes to
buy them. Churches,
organizations and the World
Health Organization disagree
with this theory. They feel that
Nestle infant formulas are
hurting the consumers, so the
formulas should either be taken
off the market, or sold only
through use of much public
education and less advertising.
But the question is does Nestle
have a responsibility to these
consumers? After all, the product
is perfectly safe if used correctly.
Nestle is within its rights to
promote their product — aren't
they? This paper will discuss the
great debate over infant formula
promotion by Nestle and other
companies in Third World
countries.
"As many as 10 million infants
annually are victims of diseases
related to bottle feeding." These
babies are dying from
malnutrition and starvation due
to formula that is watered down.
The starvation process begins
upon birth. Mothers are
bombarded with posters that
promote infant formulas as well
as receiving advice from doctors
who are unaware of infant
formula problems. The mothers
leave the hospital confident that
this "modem convenience" will
properly feed her baby. If she
lives in an impoverished
community (which the majority
of families do in Third World
nations) she can receive free
samples of Nestle's Lactogen
from a "nurse." The mother tries
the formula on her baby and finds
it to be well received. She then
goes out and spends a whole day's
wages on one container of for-
mula. Because the formula is sc
expensive, she dilutes it to make
the formula last longer. Most of
the women in these communities
don't have refrigerators and may
not even have heard of
refrigeration, so do not realize
the dangers of leaving the
formula out in the rooms. In such
communities sanitation is very
poor; water is polluted, houses
are unclean, and sterilization of
baby bottles is nonexistent.
Water added to the formula
contains enough bacteria to make
the child sick. Also, when
extended, the formula loses its
nutritional value per serving so
the child does not receive all the
necessary nutrients to satisfy
daily feeding requirements. This
"liquid gold" is also a liquid
death.
Those are just some statistics
of infant disease. So why do
mothers continue to use the
products if they are so harmful to
their babies' health? The answer
is one of the greatest promotional
campaigns ever conducted by a
multi-national corporation —
mainly Nestle of Switzeriand.
Let us go back to the scene of
the first promotional "push", at
the hospital. Those posters are
put up by Nestle sales
representatives, and the doctors
are too busy to understand or to
take time to find out the type o(
environment the mother comes
from. The mother who believes
anything "modem medicine" has
to offer starts feeding her child
the formula.
Next scene is in the market.
The mothers gather around a
"nurse" who is telling about the
benefits of formula use. This
"nurse" is actually a Nestle
salesperson dressed in a
professional uniform. Because of

An added attraction at
Thursday's home contest with
Liberty Baptist will be an
appearance by the Cumberland
High School Band. The Dukes will
play before the game and at

the action.
Gymnasts Get Four Wins
Despite competing at less than
full strength because of injuries,
Longwood's gymnastics team
defeated four of five opponents in
a pair of meets over the weekend
to bring their season record to 5-
3. The Lancer gymnasts host
rival Radford, the defending sta-
te and regional champ, Friday
night at 7 : 00 in Lancer Hall.
Friday Longwood defeated
Maryland Baltimroe County and
Pittsburgh-Johnstown in a tri-

Both games tip-off at 8 p.m.
Liberty Baptist (12^) beat
Morgan State 68-51 Saturday

earlier in the week. The Flames
are a dangerous team as
evidenced by their 59-57 road win
over last year's Division II

with 2,000 point career scorers
Darrell Stith and Julius Norman.
Following this week's action,
Longwood hosts Guilford Monday
night and visits nationally ranked
Randolph-Macon Thursday (Feb.

Longwood trailed visiting
Atlantic Christian 51-50 with 11:40
to go Wednesday night when
senior Joe Remar and junior
Jerome (THE COBRA) Kersery
took over. Starting with an alley-
oop pass from Remar, Kersey
had two thundering dunks and a
free throw. Then the 6-7 forward
fed Remar for a dunk and the 6-1
guard followed with a fast break
layup. When the dust had settled,
the Lancers were on top 59-51
with 8:56 left. The Bulldogs never
recovered.
Remar, averaging 19.9 ppg.,
finished with 24 points and six
assists while Kersey bagged 19
points, eight rebounds, six
assists, two blocked shots and
four steals. Senior center Ron Orr
scored 14 points and pulled off a
game high 13 rebounds.
Orr had scored 28 points,
Remar 15 and Kersey 11 with 13
rebounds against Radford.
What looked like a big
Longwood victory in the first half
turned into a nightmare in the
second half. Playing their best
half of the season, Longwood led
43-30 at the break. The
Highlanders, using their superior
depth, stormed back to take the
win 78-70 as foul troubles
hampered Remar and Kersey in
the second half.
Freshman guard Frank
Tennyson is a very effective free
throw shooter as evidenced by his
four for four performance on two
one-and-one's against Atlantic
Christian. The 5-9 eager also has
a unique style of shooting from
the charity stripe.
Starting from a deep knee
bend, Tennyson rises with the
ball cocked to shoot and releases
it as he stands up straight. He has
hit 15 of 20 for a percentage of
.750.

Grapplers 3rd in W & L Tourney
By RONNIE BROWN
Student Assistant
Currently 4-3-1, the Longwood
wrestlers dropped a 40-9 decision
to the Indians at WiUiam and
Mary Wednesday and placed
third in the Washington and Lee
Invitational Saturday. The
Lancers host Lynchburg and
Loyola in a tri-match Friday.
Action begins at 2:30 in Lancer
Hall.
Coach Steve Nelson's wrestlers
Host Tri-Match Saturday
were the favorites going into the
Washington and Lee
Tournament, but because of an
injury to Chuck Campbell and an
abbreviated roster the Lancers
were not at full strength.
Freshman Terry Hale won top
honors in the 126 weight class as
he turned in a perfect 3-0 mark to
pace the squad. He won a 13-5
decision over his opponent from
W&L and scored pins at 4:29 and
4:00 to win over wrestlers from
Pfeiffer and Elon respectively.
Coming in second were
freshman Tim Fitzgerald, a 118
pounder, and soph Dana Dunlap,
a 167 pounder. Sophomore Steve
Albeck and senior Joe Bass each
won third at 142 and 177
respectively. The Lancers
combined for 52.75, while W&L
earned 53.25 and Elon won the
Championship with 72.25 points.
Nelson previously noted that
the second semester is similar to
a new season and it would take
time to adjust.
"We did not wrestle with the
intensity we had before
(November 22 match at Elon)",
noted Nelson. "After being
knocked out of contention for the
title, it was hard to wrestle for
second or third."

News Apprentice Tournament to
take the title at 142 January 14-15
and Wednesday night in a 40-9
loss to William & Mary, he
defeated his opponent 6-5 for his
fourth straight win. With an 8-5-1
record heading into the
Washington & Lee Tournament
last Saturday, Albeck has helped
Longwood compile a 4-3-1 record.
"Steve is wrestling extremely
well," said Lancer coach Steve
Nelson. "He was unseeded in the
Newport News Tournament and
surprised everyone by upsetting
three opponents to win the only
championship for Longwood."
Albeck, who was also a
standout grappler last year as a
freshman, is a graduate of West
Springfield High School. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Albeck of Springfield.

In four short years, the
Longwood College wrestling
team has gone from the outhouse
to the penthouse. Currently
ranked ninth in the state — the
second highest ranked small
college in Virginia — their 4-3-1
record displays a great amount of
improvement over their first
record of 1-9. Under the
leadership of Coach Steve
Nelson, the Lancers appear to be
headed for their first winning
season ever.
Why has the team improved so
much in four years? "Recruiting
has made a big difference in the
team's success," says Nelson.
"We're recruiting mainly
Virginia athletes who come from
good high school programs.
We're very fortunate to have
quality athletes."
Twelve of the fourteen guys on
the team are freshmen or
sophomores. "We're a very
young team," says Nelson. "Last
year's squad consisted mostly of
freshmen and half of them are
still with us."
"Wrestling is a very
demanding sport," he adds. "A
lot of the older guys have to leave
the team as school work gets
tougher."
A large part of the team's
success is due to the squad's

middleweights. Four of
Longwood's top middleweights
are Joe Bass, Dana Dunlap,
Chuck Campbell and Steve
Albeck, all Northern Virginia
residents.
Joe Bass, a senior Business
Administration major, wrestles
at 177 pounds. He wrestled three
years at Mount Vernon High
School, and one year at Chowan
College before coming to
Longwood. Bass won the district
wrestling title his senior year at
Mount Vernon.
"I came to Longwood with
Coach Nelson, who was then the
coach at Chowan," says Bass.
"When he got the coaching job
here, he talked me into
transferring."
Bass, with a 10-4 record to date,
is an avid wrestler who has sh-
own considerable improvement
this year. According to Coach
Nelson, "He's a quality wrestler .
. . very difficult to beat. He's the
toughest 177-pounder in Virginia.
Joe will hold Longwood's record
for the most wins after this
season."
Dana Dunlap, a sophomore
Earth Science major, transferred
to Longwood from Northern
Virginia Community College. A
167-pounder, Dunlap's reocrd
presently stands at a-5-1. He
wrestled four years at Robinson
High School in Fairfax, where he
won the district wrestling title
■three times. He was also second
in the region one year.
"Dana's a physical wrestler
with a lot of ability," says Nelson.
"He wrestles in many close
matches. He's a good, solid
wrestler."
Chuck Campbell, a sophomore
Earth Science major, has a 7-3-1
record this season. "My high
school coach suggested that I
come to Longwood," says the 150-
pounder. "He told me they had a
good wrestling program, so I
checked it out and decided to
come here."
Campbell wrestled four years
on the squad at Thomas Edison
Hign Scnooi m mexanuria, ana
was team captain his senior year.
"Chuck is a very competitive,
aggressive wrestler," says
Nelson. "He has an awkward
style, but he's very effective with
it. Chuck is also an excellent
pinner."
Campbell's status for the
remainder of the season is
questionable due to a knee injury
which is keeping him out of
action.
Team captain Steve Albeck, a
sophomore Business major from
Springfield, holds an 8-5-1 record
this season. (He is 4-0 since
January.) The 142-pounder came
to Longwood from West
Springfield High School, where
he won the district title twice.
Albeck was also chosen
outstanding team wrestler his
senior year.
"I came to longwood after
talking to the coach. He
convinced me to come here,"
says Albeck. "I was really just
down here visiting. I hadn't
intended to stay."
According to Coach Nelson,
"Steve is the most polished
wrestler on the team. He's a very
physical wrestler with good
technique. Steve wrestled best
during the second half of last
season, so we're looking for his
record to improve."
Nelson hopes to send at least
seven wrestlers to the regional
tournament this year, including
Bass, Dunlap, Campbell and
Albeck. They all participated in
regionals last year, with the
exception of Campbell who was
held back by a broken hand.
As for the remainder of the
season. Nelson is very optimistic.
"We're definitely on the road to a
winning season," he says. "We
placed in a tournament for the
first time last week end. The guys
were really excited. They want to
win. If they are consistent and
stay healthy, we will finally have
a winning season."

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, January 25, 1983
Corporate
America
pressure from The Infant
Formula Action Coalition
(INF ACT) and the World Health
Organization Nestle has taken
their people out of the white uni-
forms and put them in colored
uniforms bearing the logo Nestle.
Nestle uses extensiive
promotional tactics in the
markets also. Giant inflatable
plastic replicas of the formula
tins are given out. According to
the INFACT NEWSLETTER,
Summer, 1980, shops and
pharmacies use tins of infant
formula and feeding bottles as
major display items in windows.
Plastic bags with handles
bearing colorful pictures and
slogans are given away. Pens,
pocket calendars, writing pads
and prescription blocks are other
free items used by the formula
manufacturers to promote their
products.
According to the same
newsletter, "infant formula
agents were said to give bonuses
for large quantity purchases.
Bonuses could be given as a
discount on the price (2.5 per cent
to 5 per cent depending on the
quantity purchased), or in the
form of gifts."
Because Nestle controls about
half of the billion dollar infant
formula market in the Third
World, an international grass-
roots consumer boycott and the
"largest non-union initiated
boycott in U. S. history" was
initiated. Groups such as
INFACT and the Interfaith
Center on Corporate
Responsibility (ICCR) have
launched campaigns of their own
to force Nestle to curb marketing
strategies of promoting the infant
formula within the Third World.
The groups are asking churches
and other supporters to boycott
Nestle products sold in the United
States and abroad. They also ask
for consumers to write Nestle,
which has a branch in White
Plains, New York, as well as
their Congressmen, voicing their
concerns of such marketing
tactics. This campaign started in
1978 and has been growing
steadily since.
In 1980 INFACT was able to
obtain a Nestle memorandum
written by E. W. Saunders, Vice
President of Nestle Nutritionals.
The document stated that Nestle
chose to fight in the public
relations arena, rather than face
the growing international
consensus that babies' lives must
come before corporate profits.
Nestle first mailed over 300,000
expensive packets to U. S. clergy
and community leaders, under
the direction of the world's
largest public relations firm. Hill
and Knowlton. When that did not
stop the boycott, they replaced
the firm with Daniel Edelman
Company w^ch promoted a low
pppfile strategy. After the World
Health Organization and
UNICEF published extensive
recommendations in October
1979, Nestle distributed hundreds
of thousands of press releases
claiming they were abiding by
the international
recommendations. The entire
memorandum pamphlet put out
by INFACT was truly
propaganda to gain public
support of the boycott.
The World Health Organization
adopted a code restricting the
marketing procedures of infant
formula manufacturers to
protect consumers throughout
the world in 1980-81. The only
nation to vote against the code
was the United States, in what
became one of the first
embarrassments of the Reagan
administration. (The final vote
was 118 to 1. ) Now 95 groups in 65
countries monitor enforcement of
the code. The World Health
Organization probably was not
surprised by the United States'
dissention. Ernest E. Lefever,
President Reagan's 1981 nominee
for Under Secretary of State for
Human Rights (whose Ethics and
Public Policy Center benefited
from gifts totaling $25,000 from
Nestle) said that the United
States' delegate would reject the
''compassion-coated
revolutionary rhetoric and vote
against the code ..."
In 1981 Nestle stated they
supported the code in theory. On
June 10, 1982 The Washington
Post wrote an article saying that
Nestle is the only company that
has said it will try to comply with
the voluntary rules for marketing
infant formula (which includes a
ban on all advertising and on
providing sample cans of
formula, directly or indirectly, to
mothers). Sales and marketing
people for formula companies
are banned from contact with the
mothers. The June article stated
that the company had done so by
issuing its own interpretation of
the code, which critics have
attacked.
Thus the debate over infant
formula promotion continues.
Nestle feels that they should be
able to handle their marketing
strategies the way they wish,
provided they comply with the
nation's laws in which they are
selling. If the nation has no
specifications. Nestle should be
able to sell as they please. The
:;ompany has adopted some
changes in marketing strategies,
but not enough according to
INFACT, WHO, and many other
organizations. Future promotion
tactics are the issue; will there be
a compromise to suit all
concerned parties? While the
debating is going on, the mothers
continue to feed their babies the
infant formula, leading to further
tragedies. Advertising has
always been conducted by those
who could afford it. The
continuing issue is does Nestle
have the responsibility of all the
deaths so that they should curtail
profits and admit guilt? If more
groups call for positive action on
Nestle's part, Nestle could be
forced (through public
international pressure) to "pull
back the ranks." This would be a
victory for consumer groups
which could set a precedent for
future promotional issues of
potentially "dangerous"
products.
Cuts and the Prevailing Attitude
(Continued from Page 1)
and what these administrators as
individuals, actually think? Or
are they actually brainwashed
automatons that sit in their
separate offices reciting goals
such as computer literacy and-
world consciousness which make
up the Greenwood Creed? We
may never know the personal
light of these multiple rays of the
"human sunbeam," as the
Richmond Times-Dispatch
dubbed Dr. Greenwood, because
they are always subdued by her
dominating and all-powerful
Ught.
We feel it's important to raise
these speculations in our efforts
to analyze this interesting
situation completely. But the
administration of Longwood
College may simply be an
example of people united behind
a common cause; their light is
not subdued by the "sunbeam,"
but they voluntarily add to its
briUiance.
Longwood Gifts
(Continued from Page 2)
resulted in personal contact with
more than 5,000 alumni. Enough
cannot be said for the outstanding
efforts of the Ambassadors who
did all the telephoning and Alice
(Martin), who organized the
student Ambassadors and serves
as advisor to the organization,"
said Lemish.
Miss Martin also organized a
parents phonathon using a group
of parent volunteers under the
chairmanship of Longwood
Parents Advisory Committee
vice president Ross Hotchkiss
from Richmond.
"Establishing a strong base of
private gift support is not an
overnight process," said Lemish.
"Steps forward to establish
private gift support programs
have been made by the
Foundation, its officers and past
and present staff. Also, the
programs and communication
efforts of our Alumni and Public
Affairs staffs have enhanced our
ability to gain private support."
Gymnasts win
(Continued from Page 6)
Hankinson and Stabley were
standouts once again. Dayna won
floor (8.5), tied for second in
beam (7.55), tied for third in
vaulting (8.60) and finished third
all-around (30.50). Stabley was
fourth all-around (29.60).
"I feel we improved this
week," said coach Ruth Budd.
"We were missing several of our
top gymnasts, but we pulled
together as a team. Everyone
contributed to our performances
over the weekend."
Freshman Kim Kenworthy has
been lost for the season because
of an ankle injury. Lisa Zuraw,
another freshman standout, was
out of action with a shoulder
injury, but should be back within
a week.
Budd says she hopes her squad
will be in top form for Friday's
meet with Radford. The meet will
\>e one of only two appearances
by Longwood this season.
Armstrong, referring to recent
misunderstandings over the
heating of residence halls,
"Before we have any students
purposely uncomfortable, we will
cut off the heat here (in the
administrative offices)
completely.
It is behind the helpfulness that
radiates from the staff and
administration. When Dr.
Armstrong says "we are all
working really hard. We're here
because of the students and we're
just committed to do what we cai.
for the students, and cuts or no
cuts, we're still going to move
ahead," we believe her. The
administration Is in East Ruffner
and is functioning whether the
Longwood students know it or
not. What some individuals think
of their f unctionings is a different
story.

Departmental Advisory Committees Formed
By MIKE LYNCH
Future shock was the theme |
that commanded the interest of
the listeners to Gil Davenport,
Senior Vice President of the City
National Bank of Ix}s Angeles as
he spoke on how just as five-year-
old kids can wipe out their
parents at Pac-Man these same
kids will grow up to perform
computer functions that their
elders won't even be able to
comprehend. His reasoning was
something about how they
picture the screen and his overall
message in relation was that if
we don't get on the ball quickly
and acquaint ourselves well with
the computer we will soon be left
behind by people younger than
us.
"How many of you have
ordered something without
checking the size, shape, price
and other features of the
product," Mr. Davenport said,
scoring his main point while
everybody ignored their Slater
dessert to catch it. "It's the same
for college students." His
following comment built on that
theme, that college students
should be tailored to fit the job
they seek as closely as possible.
He especially pointed out the
problems imposed by the vast
acceleration of technology,
noting that the more acquainted
the student is with computers, the
more assured he will be of
employment.
Gil's audience was perhaps the
most impressive group ever to
assemble at Longwood College.
Among them was a state senator,
the President of the Virginia
Education Association, two
Professors Emiritus from North
Carolina University and William
and Mary College respectively, a
newscaster, a physics expert
from the Los Alamos National
Laboratory and the guy who tells
them what to do on that big
kyanite mountain up route 15.
They were here last Friday to
attend the Orientation Meeting of
the newly formed departmental
Advisory Committee of
Longwood College.
Here's what that means. A
Departmental Advisory
Conmiittee is a small group of
professionals from outside this
institution who render advice,
assistance and knowledge to the
college department that it applies
to. For example, Mr.
Davenport's field of knowledge is
quite obviously the business
world so he is on the Advisory
Committee to the Department of
Business and Economics. In the
future that committee will meet
with the Business Department
from time to time and hopefully
assist them in any type of

improvement. "We seek your
advice, we seek your expertise
and we seek your knowledge of
the world outside the Longwood
campus. We are asking you to
help our academic departments
in the college answer the question
where are we, where do we need
to be and how do we get there,"
stated Longwood President Janet
Greenwood in an introductory
address to the participants.
The meeting, last Friday, did
not involve solving any problems
right then but merely got the
participants acquainted with the
College and its basic intentions,
problems and goals. But if what
went on is any indication of future
'esults, the possibilities are
endless.
Six speeches were given at the
meeting, including the luncheon
address by Davenport and five
others by Longwood
administration. Thomas Rust,

An Interview With Toby Thompson
It seemed particularly
appropriate that an interview
with Toby Thompson should take
place in a country bar named the
Pioneer Inn. Although he doesn't
look like the type — a meek
looking man of about 5'8" with
blonde thinning hair and a
preference for wool mittens —
Toby Thompson has spent a
number of the best vears of his
life in, around, and consuming at
some of the best bars in
America. Of course that's not
exactly what he does for a living,
for a living he writes... about the

He came to Longwood last
semester as a journalism pro-
fessor and The Rotunda's
advisor, replacing William C.
Woods who is currently on leave.
Mr. Thompson professes a
certain affinity for the location
and, it seems, even though he's
been to some of the most movin'
bars in the country he doesn 't
mind sitting in a nearly vacant
Pioneer Inn and nursing a
Lowenbrau, while delivering a
few candid comments for The
Rotunda about himself and
journalism in general.
Rotunda — You've been
published in The American Film
Magazine, Playboy, The Rolling
Stone, The Village Voice, The
Outside Magazine, The Rocky
Mountain Magazine and the
Washington Post magazine.
You've been contributing editor
to the Washington Magazine
shice 1986 and have had articles
printed in many numbers of
newspapers across the United
States. How did your obviously
successful career begin?
Thompson — I was in the
writing program with Peter
Taylor at U.Va. enrolled in the
short story program there. As a
matter of fact I was the first
person to do a short story as a
master's thesis for U.Va. I was
very much interested in writing
and in fiction. I had absolutely no
interest in reporting at that point.
That was around 1968 when I
graduated with my degree and I
had nothing to do. At the time I
was obsessed with Bob Dylan. I
really loved Bob Dylan becaude
he was this synthesizes of a
literary figure and cultural
idealists. He was the great poet of
our time. He symbolized for my
generation the incredible impact
that a writer could have on the
culture and art. So, I didn't have
anything to do then and I had
some money and I decided to ride
out to his home town in
Minnesota. I had this notion of
finding a story because nobody
had ever written about his
hometown — where he came
from. I called one of his uncles
before I went out there. I
remembered that Bob Dylan's
real name was Abraham
Zimmerman and called one of his
uncles, a Zimmerman and said
"if I came out there would you
talk to me" and he said "Sure I'll
talk to you, never been anybody
out here...Yeh I'd be happy to
talk to you."
I got in my car and drove
straight out there. It was Hipin,
Minnesota; it was small town
America, very much like
Farmville as a matter of fact.
Dylan had a very small town-like
childhood. Anyways, to make a
long story short, I did write an
article about that. I found all
these people from his childhood,
parents, relatives, old
girlfriends; including this one
wild blonde haired girl named
Echoe. We had this ronumce. It
was really Freudian because
Dylan was my hero. She was this
other side of the tracks creature
with long Swedish blonde hair — I
mean Echoe — talk about a
poet's muse. She wrote me poems
while I was there. At the
end of the visit she wrote me this
poem like "You drove me near.
You drove me far. You came to
town in your little car" — I had
this Volkswagen— "You stood on
your head in my hometown bar"
— which I did — and "Hey Toby
where you are!" or something
totally corny like that. It was
really charming and it was a
great story. Nobody had ever
done it.
I came back to Washington and
I wrote this thing up thinking
"Esquire" or "Harper" or
something like that. I finished it
and sent it around to a couple
places like that and they didn't
want it. Then I sent it to "The
Village Voice" and "The Village
Voice" in 1969 was the hip
newspaper in America. It was
what Rolling Stone was going to
become; but different, the
"voice" has always been
different... it's a really great
newspaper in a lot of ways. They

bought it immediately and it was
60 page article so they published
it in 6 installments. I was in "The
Voice"serialized, for 6 weeks
with this article about, at the
time, one of the most fascinating
cultural figures. And in one of the
most fascinating underground
papers I got twelve book offers
from that publication. I
immediately got a book contract
from it and I wrote the book
which was Positively Main
Street.
Rotufida — You've written two
other books besides Positively
Main Street.
Thompson — Right, three
books all together — The second
one was called Saloon which was
a book about old bars all over the
United States. I spent four years
on the road researching that one.
It was another book about
America — searching for the
great American Bar. I really
believed there was this place
where you could go, where it
would all come together. The
third book was called The Sixties
Report which about the 60's. All
three were non-fiction novels.
Rotunda — You seem
interested in an all-encompassing
view of American Culture... How
do you see Farmville fitting into
that?
Thompson — Farmville's
Fascination for me is as a small
town whose influence by the
media has been minimal.
Everybody of course watches TV
and listens to the radio to a
certain extent; but the media has
not had the incredible changing
influence here that it has had in
other places. I think that the
concepts of neighborhoods are
the things that will save us in this
country. The sense of community
that is necessary for survival in
this day and age can be found in
small towns. Not that in some
cases it isn't a stultifying
environment — that there isn't a
heckuva lot to do culturally. But
the good aspects of it like having
breakfast at Walker's Diner... or
running into people on the
sidewalk that you don't get in
larger towns is absolutely
fascinating... people can sit and
talk. It's a very personal kind of
conmiunicative thing. And you
miss that a lot of times in larger
towns and you certainly miss it in
surburban environments. If I had
a real villian in my work its
surburbia — that geographical
phenomena that separates people
from one another; that causes
them to live their lives in
automobiles or in shopping
malls; that keeps them from
walking down Main Street and
running into one and other, that
forces them into a stultifying
existence.
Rotunda — How do you

really anarchronistic experience.
When Thomas Jefferson created

Where people would live together
and study together for X number
of years and really experience
civilization in a small communal
way. When people go away to
college particularly college as
opposed to a larger university,
they are suddenly put together on
a human scale as opposed to the
suburban existence that most
Americans live in. They learn
how to interact, they learn the
responsibilities of hving in a
small community. And I think
that that is absolutely, incredibly
invaluable. I think this is the
reason that people in later years
have a tremendous nostalgia
their college days. We are an
extraordinarily lonely society;
and the older we get, the more
lonely we seem to get; you think
about a survivor in suburbia or
in the great middle class; it is
someone who has learned to live
with vacancies and this terrible
sense of emptiness — there is a
sense of communal responsibility
that exists in college, very often
only in college for most white
middle class people.

of Art at Virginia Commonwealth
University, will be featured in
Bedford Gallery thru February

Responsible for establishing
the glassworking departments at
the Chicago Art Institute and

total of 69 works, includes
paintings, prints, drawings,
ceramics, sculpture, and a
mosaic, by some 50 different
artists. The works in the

throughout the campus where the
greatest number of students and
others in the college conmiunity
will see them.

responsibility.
Thompson — There has to be
within the community certain
people or organizations whose job
it is to tell things the way they
are. This is one of the functions it
seems to me of the college
newspaper. Particularly in so
small a town as Farmville
Virginia. The Rotunda is the
forum for news at the Longwood
campus; for the communication
of ideas and to simply let people
know what's going on. The
college newspaper in terms of
responsibilities must feel as if it's
free to print things that are
actually happening within the
community. That's not to say
they should fall prey to the
dilemma of large newspapers of
always printing the worst
possible face of things. But at the
same time they shouldn't ignore
it. Reporters for college
newspapers should have the
ability to go into unchartered
regions where the rest of the
communal body is not
comfortable. It's a responsibility
to the conmiunity to ferret out
material that the community
may not have the chance or
inclination to discover for itself.
Rotunda — The Rotunda has
been criticized as being
representative of Longwood in a
negative manner and as
generally bad public relations for
Longwood. Do you think such
criticisms are justified?
Thompson — I think that llie
Rotunda should be rep-
resentative of Longwood. If it
becomes a public relations
vehicle, then it's not likely to be
representative of Longwood.
Longwood is a human community
just like any other and it's going
to have great virtues and
strengths and some failures and
things that need to be shored up.
I think that traditionally
colleges have used things like
their school bulletin for P.R.
I know I get something from
U.Va. as an alumnus that is just
pure propaganda for getting
contributions. If a college wants
to have that kind of publication
then it should be run and staffed
by public relations people and
should be geared towards getting
contributions from alumni. If the
college wants a true newspaper
run by students for the student
body then that's what it should
have. In terms of my role as an
advisor, I can only advise. I am
not a censor; I'm a professional
journalist and teach journalism
to many of the students who write
for the paper. If the
administration is looking for a
P.R. person then they should hire
a public relations person; but
they're not going to get any
professional journalist to act as
an advisor and be anything but a
professional journalist.
Rotunda — This sense of
conmiunity you refer to, is that
you idea of America's saving
grace?
Thompson — The thing that
fascinated me about these old
saloons after the hysteria of the
1960's was that they were places
where people could come
together and talk to one another.
There was a sense of order; it
was a very small town
environment. There was not a
whole lot of screaming music
going on; nobody was taking
drugs.
I think one of the most
encouraging movements in
recent years is the movement
back into the city from suburbia.
Suburbia is really a post-World
War II phenomena. After World
War II people had money; they
were buying automobiles; they

Citizens Against Nuclear Waste
By JOHNEL BROWN
What to do with nuclear waste
is a problem facing all of Virginia
now — a problem that must be
resolved quickly. Virginia ranks
ninth in its production of low-
level nuclear waste. Federal law
requires that all states make
provisions to dispose of their own
waste, or form an interstate
provide the long-term housing of
the wastes. It is for this reason
that the rock and water tables,
and the soil compartment are of
vital geological consideration
and research.
In reaction to the proposed
siting of a low-level nuclear
waste disposal in Prince Edward,
compact for regional disposal by the county Board of Supervisors
appointed a committee to
represent the citizens, Prince
Edward County Technical
Commission on Solid Hazardous
Low-level Radioactive waste.
Retired Navy Captain Charles
Baron is the chairman of the 17
member commission set up to
evaluate the technical aspects of
the dumping in Prince Edward.
In addition to the 17 appointees,
there are five active consulting
members, including PhD's from
Longwood and Hampden-Sydney.
Drs. Fawcett, Ferguson, Lane,
Gamborys and Scott are the
commission's advisory council
for research of more specific
scientific data.
The commission is divided into
subcommittees which meet
separately, and report to the
entire body. The commission, in
turn reports to the Board of
Supervisors.
1986.
Presently, Virginia transports
90 percent of its low-level waste
in Barnwell, South Carolina, but
must find an alternative since
the Barnwell facility will close in
1992.
Low-level nuclear waste seems
to be a confusing concept. Low-
level as opposed to what? High-
level? Low-level nuclear wastes
consists of exposed clothing or
equipment used in research,
contaminated water, oil and
gases. The low-level waste is
radioactive and is potentially
dangerous for thousands of
years.
One of the major concerns
expressed by citizens, is the
containment of the wastes.
Although the federal government
specifies "Type A" and "Type B"
containers, the ground is the
ultimate "container" and must

Entertainment
48 Hours Defies Expectations
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
After reaching the height of
television popularity as the
kingpin of NBC's "Saturday
Night Live," it is only natural to
expect Eddie Murphy to follow in
the footsteps of his predecessors
and make the cross-over to
motion pictures. It is also natural
to assume that his movie debut
would be a light comedy in which
his style of humor is exploited
and other well known actors take
a backseat. However, Murphy's
first movie, "48 Hours"
(Paramount Pictures) is
everything but the expected.
As the movie begins, false
assumptions are quickly
recognized. James Horner's
soundtrack provides an errie
backdrop for what proves to be
the biggest display of violence
since "The Long Riders." Prison
guards are literally "blown
away" as the faces of Albert
Ganz and Billy Bear, played by
James Remar and Sonny
Landham, contort into
maniacally pleased grimaces. In
the hotel scene that follows, a
police investigator, empty gun in
hand, is mercilessly cut down by
the same two murderers with the
same crazed expressions.
Throughout the theatre, the
sound of anxious viewers
wondering if they have stumbled
into the wrong movie can be
heard.
Enter police detective Jack
Gates, played by Nick Nolte.
Right away, Nolte makes it clear
that he is out to do anything but
play second string to Eddie
Murphy. No longer the pretty
face he was in "North Dallas
Forty" Nolte brings a new,
almost frightening intensity to a
nundan, Dirty Harry-type
character. His acting provides a
stark realism that contrasts well
with the films comic reUef . Enter
Eddie Murphy as jailbird Reggie
Hammond. Murphy's acting is
good, partly because of the fact
that this R rated film allows him
to spread into other areas
restricted by television, namely
sex, violence and profanity. His
comedy is both original and
humorous, but he has as yet to
reach his full potential. As the
film progresses, he seems to
Sixty-Eight
Cent Shelf
By WILLIAM R. LEAP
A little short on cash and tired
of the same old tunes. Where do
you go?
When your best friend's
trenched out Springstein is just
about more than your Sony will
take, browsing and dreaming in
the local record shop is better
entertainment.
After about twenty minutes of
taking in the new releases and
drooling on your double knits, you
know you got to purchase
something. Hoping that no one is
looking, you slither over to the
sixty-eight cent shelf to try your
luck. The first thing you yank out
is this O.K. looking thing called
Don Nix: Gone Too Long. Cream
Records Inc. of Los Angeles puts
it out. You got to ask yourself
what kind of obscene name is
Cream Records and who
ever heard of Don Nix anyway.
Play the record.
Nobody could have made it. It
must be left over from the fallout
of the fallout of the generation
that never was. An abandoned
cow chip of a Holstein dying of
hoof and mouth in the Swiss Alps,
Nix's Gone Too Long is worth far
less than the cheap cardboard of
the record jacket. An insult to the
sophistication of even a smokey
grinder's ego, Gone Too Long
was scarcely gone long enough.
Indeed, it might better have not
gone at all.
It is sometimes better to let a
record talk for itself. But in this
case, a narrator with minimal
sanity is prescribed. To spare the
reader the agony of melodical
rape. Gone Too Long is better
read about than experienced.
Don Nix, an obscure artist
resembling some kind of schizoid
yippie from the atomic
wasteland, is best left to the
clinical texts of psychological
abstracts. He opens his pathetic
volume of self-depravation with a
kinky little number he calls
"Coin' Thru Another Change."
With vocal talents borrowed from
a drunken Greyhound stooly in
Birmingham, Nix goes through a
change all right, from a "maybe"
to a "I don't think so."
"Feel A Whole Lot Better"
sinks him lower than the tidy
bowl man. Trying to blow a few
disco rejects into a tabernacle
choir for harmonic support might
make Nix feel a whole lot better
but it certainly inflicts the real
music lover with a bad case of the
Swine Flu and a hundred and four
temperature.
The theme song, "Gone Too
Long," attempts to tape together
the night club sound of a
Mangione piano, the driving
backbeat of an ARS super hit
single, and the acid rock lead of a
learn a few lessons from Nick
Nolte, and the two act very well
together.
Even with the team of Murphy
and Nolte, the movie boasts
another team that is largely
responsible for its final success;
that of director Walter Hill and
cinematographer Ric Waite. Hill
takes on the tremendous task of
blending the film's intense
dramatic moments with its comic
relief. He succeeds in holding the
audience in suspense without
startling them with abrupt
transitions of horrifying them
with over-used slow motion shots.
His effort is enhanced by Waite's
expert photography, which adds
a certain artistic touch to the
film's more violent scenes. The
expertise of Hill and Waite comes
into full view in the movie's final
confrontation.
All things considered, "48
Hours" is everything but what
you'd expect. It is a comedy, but
also a gripping drama. Eddie
Murphy is prominent in the fihn,
but not to the point that he
overshadows Nick Nolte. These
facts, along with excellent jobs of
directing and photography, make
it a film well worth seeing.

The result sounds like a mutated
cow with no legs grunting to jump
over the moon while Nix howls in
excitement at making the big
times and cutting an album. By
the end of the theme song. Gone
Too Long rates a "trash it."
Side two fares even worse than
the rest of the album. In fact, you
might better just turn on
Lawrence Welk and chug a brew
as flip it over at all. The whole
album is kind of like a nightmare,
no matter how you try to forget it
it keeps coming back to haunt
you. Like the song says, it keeps
me "Rollin' in My Dreams."
Cream Records of Los Angeles
might better order a recall on
Gone Too Long. Better yet, it
might take Don Nix and his
barnyard singers back to his
"Forgotten Town" and lock him
in his "Yazoo City Jail."

Lord Have Mercy on the Boys
From Down in the Boondox
"Boondocks" — the word tells
half the story; make you want to
break out the old harmonica;
takes you down home into the
hinter land; the unchartered
region rolling and rollicking in
sweet sweaty breezes of
nothingness, irreverantly loving
every second of it.
"Boondocks" — a locale for
noble savages perched on
decrepit porches jaws pumped
full of chew with bugged eyes
watching the world whizz by and
simply not giving a royal damn.
"Not many places left like
that" said Mike Lynch, Asst.
Editor to the Rotunda. He was
talking about Farmville's
boondocks — the boondox
country club which was directly
ahead of us at the intersection of
Rt. 600 and Rt. 637 catacomer
the airport road. We were parked
opposite the club on a vacant dirt
lot which had a single worn
"Yard Sale" sign pointing
straight to the ground. "I don't
think I'm going in" said Mike, his
eyes glancing slowly back and
forth towards the Boondox and
back at the steering column
again. "Why not?" I asked.
"Well just look at that place," I
looked at it.
Something resembling a porch
reached out towards the street.
Overhead a beaten and bent red
rust powdered tin awning
supported by four wobbling cast
iron grape vine columns of no
grecian heritage I ever knew
bore the legend in 2'x2' red
lettering. "The Boondocks
Country Club No. 1." Below this a
remarkable scene of dissemation
and chaos lay strewn. The
innards of a Qeveland Ford 351
engine rested rust glued to the
crumbling cement base of the
porch; like a perverted Rodin.
Off to the right assorted half
eaten chairs and sofas and filthy
smudged plastic things were
scattered giving the appearance
that a vicious God had found
some iniquity here or that men
had labored for years to make
this the appropriate
representation of hell.
It had quite a history; the
plyboard and plastic over the
windows couldn't keep its
reputation in those 4 walls.
Anyone who had lived near
Farmville for more than three
years and didn't know of the
Boondox existed in a cultural
vacuum. It comes up in local
conversation as frequently as
dark cured tobacco or racial
integration. Everyone has their
stories . . .
"Hell! You going out to the
Boondox? What dja got a death
wish or somethin? Let me tell you
a couple a years back that place
was a huntin' lodge — normal
folks used to go out there and do a
little partying and then get down
to tacks . . . like start cleaning
their rifles or hittin' the field for
game ... but now ain't nobody
knows what's out there. I say stay
away . . . though hear tell twas a
whore house at one time ... but
that's besides the point. Now ain't
really no tellin' what mischevious
vagrants or something might be a
waitin' to cut your heart out and
steal your money ... an you listen
to me that place ain't empty like
you might suppose ... I rode up
there the other day in my pick-up
and sure nuff there was that loud
perhaps the truth that I was this
nosey fellow from a Southern
Women's College who was dying
to find out what the inside of his
shack? house? club? home?
looked like and just how exactly
could someone possibly exist in
that architectural oblivion.
But I winged it instead.
I told him I was with the
Washington Post.
rack n' roll mess y'all call music
just boomin' away. Probably a
bunch a dope fiends out there
shootin' stuff into their arms just
as crazy and wild as hyenas with
their tails on fire ... If I were you
I wouldn't mess with it none . . .
stay aways what I say . . . stay
away."
So of course I walked across its
tire rutted grounds and up its
cinder blocked steps and knocked
on its creaking fly meshed screen
door. I could hear ZZ top's Le
Grange playing inside; then a
muffled voice, the clash of tin
pots clanking against each other,
finally off to my right along the
outside of the shack? house?
club? home? A voice "Yeah,
whatja want"
And there he was. Long black
hair down to his shoulder blades
and a beard that D. H. Lawrence
would have taken,pride in. Yu'U
live out djere?" I said in my best
imitation inarticulate southern
drawl. "Yeh whatz it to ya?" I
debated telling him that I was
with the census bureau or that the
car was hopelessly waddled in
mud up to its rear axles or
"You're kinda young to be on
the Post ain't dja?"
"Skipped three years in high
school . . . late birthday and all
that."
I showed him my camera and
told him I was working on a story
about the unemployed. "Just got
in from Houston, I've been
interviewing the tent people out
there . . . it's really depressing."
"Zat so? . . . Ya gotta
cigarette?"
I handed him a cigarette. "Ya
gotta match?"
I lit his cigarette and watched
the smoke roll > out of his mouth
as he sat back on the porch
and grinned. A kind of sick grin,
full of brown teeth and dental
plaque.
"So whatja need to know?"
"Well, do you work anywhere
around here?" I sat down beside
him.
"Work?"
"Do you have a job?"
"Nope I haven't had a job now
for upwards a year and half."
"What do you live on?"
"Food and drink I reckon"
i
"How do you buy food?"
"At a grocery store like
everyone else . . . what dja think
I'm not normal or somethin'
"Where do you get the
money?"
"I ain't got no money ... I told
you I didn't have a job."
"Well then how . . ."
"My brother he got all the
money."
"Your brother works?"
"Which one you talkin' about?"
"You've got more than one
brother?"
"Yep got three brothers."
"Do they live here?"
"Sometimes."
"Does your brother with the
money live here?"
"His names Dale Hartley same
as me 'cept my names Donny not
Dale."
"Does Dale live here?"
"Not anymore, he's in jail."
"What's he in jail for?"
"Hittin his boss ... but that
ain't nothing new he's always
hitting somebody, all my
brothers like that . . . fightin'
other folks or each other."
"Do any of your brothers live
here now?"
"Jess Jinuny inside."
"Can I talk to him?"
"I reckon so . . . ya gotta
'nother cigarette?"
The inside of the Boondox is
like the outside except darker. A
close facsimile of a foyer has
been stripped of all wall paneling
exposing the bare muscle of
insulation and wiring which leads
to two overhead light bulbs in
what they refer to as their living
room. The wiring also leads to a
J.C. Penny 8-track player with 4
car audiovox speakers stacked on
one another and to a 35 dollar
hand me down from a hand me
down Zenith television set. A cast
iron wood stove provides heat for
the 5-room locus and two
ancient refrigerators, parked
inconspicuously in the kitchen
cool 6 one gallon milk jugs filled
with water swiped from a trailer
across the street.
"We ain't gettin' no water from
inside 'cause it's pretty bad
water."
"Bad?"
"Yeah all red an' gritty."
Clothes and dirt are
everywhere and something
unmentionable has died a slow
death in a rusty pan, brimming
with grease, while simmering
over their stove.
Jinmiy Hartley is a modest
reflection of Donny. His hair is
lighter and his beard is shorter.
He doesn't have Danny's problem
with dental plaque because he
doesn't have any front teeth. But
that doesn't stop him from
making proper introductions.
"What the heU does he want?"
"Says he a reporter," said
Donny.
"Says he wants to ask us some
questions. ''•'
^^ He got cigarettes?"
I handed Jinuny a cigarette
and began the inquiry.
"So do you all own this place?"
Jinuny laughed showing no
teeth.
"Who owns this place?"
He laughed again.
"What's the fellows name? . . .
said Donny smiling.
"Lives up in Richmond, Erbie .
. . nah Erwin-Erwin Jenkins. His
brother used to live here but died
of a heart-tack while back.
Reckon he knows we live down
here; down sent us a notice
saying he was gpnna tear down
the place cause the insurance on
its too much to pay. But that was
a few months ago and nothings
happened yet. Them city fellows
ain't too bright . . . they gonna
hafta send more then a slip of
paper ta get us ta move."
"How long have you been living
here?"
"Reckon about two years . . .
ever since old man Kayton threw
us out of his trailer park down
there on Osborne Road . . . that
was a nice place won't it
Jinuny?"
"Yep sure was, it was a helluva
lot better 'n this place. This place
at leasts 100 years old; ain't got
no good water; no insulatin' an'
the doorways is too low."
"Is it true that this place was a
hunting lodge?"
"Shoot" said Jimmy pulling
the brim of a cracked leather hat
fringed with Indian beads and
garnished with two huge orange
feathers on either side,
downward. He leaned back on the
sofa on which the three of us were
sitting. "Shoot ... I remember
this place since 8th grade when I
left school . . . used to be a
whorehouse; then hunters used to
come in here from the city and
bring their own women. Used ta
have some good times up here
didn't we Donny?"
"Sure did."
"But them hunters just dying
out an' this place gettin' older an'
older . . . Hell last time a hunter
was here; reckon it was last
years sometime. Couple a
hunters came down pulling their
own trailer; jess parked it on our
lot ya know . . . didn't even come
in."
"Don't get many visitors
nowdays" said Donny. "Couple
friends from the city or them
Jehovah Witnesses, but that's
about it."
"What do you do all day?"
"Sit here an listen ta music"
Jimmy pointed to a sign hanging
over the low entrance to his
bedroom Hobo Heaven. "We just
sit around and make do; it's a
pretty good life ya know."
I took them outside on the front
porch for a photograph, and tried
to think of a way to wrap this
story up. There was a certain
irony to the idea that 2 miles
farther up 637 was the
Wedgewood Country Club;
Farmville's very own snob's nob.
But either these two raga bonds
sitting on the porch steps like
man and paw kettle without
pitchforks didn't know what was
up the road ... or didn't care.
"Hey" Donny hollered after I
took the picture "Ya gotta nother
cigarette?" "Sure."

The Board of Visitors Meeting
An interview with Thomas Rust
By MIKE LYNCH
When you want to cuss out the
people who made the rules here,
the Board of Visitors, headed by
Mr. Thomas Rust, is who you go
to see. The Board meets at the
college four times a year,
functioning as The policy making
body of Longwood College.
Thomas Rust became Rector of
the Board of Visitors in July, 1981
after joining the board in July,
1980. Originally from Front Royal
Va. Mr. Rust attended Hemdon
High School in Northern Va.
Virginia Tech (B.S. in Civil
Engineering) George
Washington University (Master
in Public Works Engineering)
and now heads an Engineering
firm, while also functioning as
Mayor of Hemdon. Mr. Rust
talked with The Rotunda last
Thursday, before the Board of
Visitors Quarterly Meeting, in
the Presidents office being sure
to point out one guideline at the
start. "First of all, this is me
individually talking as opposed to
the Board or anyone else."
Rotunda — From past
comments, I'm under the
impression that you view
Longwood College as a growing
institution. What are the major
obstacles or strengths that will
help or impede this growth?
Rust — I personally view it as a
dynamic institution that I think
ought to grow and ought to grow
in size and diversity of programs.
As far as what the major
drawbacks are, I think they can
be summed up in one word and
that's just funding. For the school
to grow and not change it's whole
philosophy you've got to have
money for dormitories,
classroom space, equipment,
etc... And that is obviously a
limited quantity in the
commonwealth and probably
going to be for some time.
The major strengths I see are
in the traditions of the school and
the history of the school. It has an
excellent reputation, it turns out
fine graduates and it's just well
thought of everywhere I go and I
think that is the strength that we
will build on.
Rotunda — When you enact
policy what factors do you take
ipto consideration?
Rust — It's my personal
opinion, and I think it's generally
carried out, that when we set
policy we try to have a wide
spectrum of the Longwood
community involved in it. In
other words we try to have input
from the student body, input from
the administration, input from
the community and obviously
input from the entire board. The
policies are put forward by the
administration after consultation
with all these groups and
generally the policies come, the
real work of the board is done,
from the committee structure.
The board is divided into four or
five committees, so a committee
will come forward with a specific
recommendation it has debated
extensively among itself and then
it's brought forward and the
whole board is involved in the
debate. But when we do enact
policies we like to think that
everyone has had input into it.
Obviously that doesn't mean
everybody gets what they want.
Ultimately the board makes the
decision.
Rotunda — How do you expect
the five percent cut in the state
budget to effect Longwood?
Rust — I think it's going to have
a dramatic effect. We were able
this year, by some pretty
innovative things to lessen the
impact of it and by just tightening
up everything. I guess the single
biggest thing we're looking into is
the fuel cost. We did not have to
let any people go or cut any
programs. We sort of set aside
the academics and the library
and said those are going to be
areas that we will not discuss. If
the cuts keep coming I don't know
if we will be able to do that. We're
just going to have to look at
everything. I think the cuts so far
have been accomplished by a real
tightening up and just being
extremely cost conscious. But I
don't think there is much more
room there. I think the next
series of cuts, potentially are
going to get in to the areas that
really hurt. The school and that's
the people area. And that's
basically what we are is a people
business.
Rotunda — Have the governor,
president and political policies in
general been favorable to
colleges recently?
Rust — Certainly Governor
Robb has attempted to be. One of
his platforms in his campaign
was a strong statement on public
education and higher education
in Virginia. He did some things
last year to help public education
in Virginia; financial things. And
I think it probably caused him a
great deal of consternation to
Liaison and Affairs
Committees Meet
The Student Liaison Conmiittee
met with the Student Affairs
Committee of the Board of
Visitors on Thursday, Feb. 3,
from 1:00 until 2:00 in the Board
Room the following items were
discussed.
(1) The first topic concerned
the SGA, its internal
reorganization and improved
communication. A major project
for committee members this
semester is to try and come up
with written policies for the
organization of committees
without written constitutions.
The student government retreat,
or "advance," of Jan. 9 & 10 to
Palmyra was a success.
(2) Reports given by all class
officers showed numerous
activities have been successfully
completed, and still others are in
the planning stages. Freshmen
are working on the traditional
Freshman Production. The
Sophomore Ring Committee has
already begun preparations for
next year's sales, and are
and Capping ceremony. And, the
Seniors are planning a fund
raising party to raise money for
Senior Assembly, Senior Ball,
and Senior Banquet.
(3) Discussions on the
expressed lack of com-
munications resulted in the
purchase of an Electronic
Message Center which is now in
the dining hall. Student support
was expressed towards the
purchase as the informations
runs at all three meals, reaching
more students than the daily
bulletin.
(4) A report on Residence Hall
Life showed a survey is being
developed to help programming
for dorms (faculty are being
encouraged to speak, groups are
taking trips, etc.) Lighting in
study areas has been improved,
and the need for stoves is being
investigated. All residence halls
have been participating m
activities sponsored by Staff, and
Hall Councils.
too. Greek Week is March 23-27.
The IFC wants to "show the
administration Greeks can work
together when they try." They
are planning an Alcohol
Education program. They would
like drinking to be permitted in
chapter rooms.
(6) In addition to the large
entertainment program designed
to appeal to all students, the
Student Union is working towards
more people involved in their
program, and getting in the black
financially.
In addition to these topics on
the agenda, a few Greeks were
present to show their support of
alcohol in the chapter rooms.
They want the power to regulate
visitation and alcohol
consumption to be given to the
IFC. They had "no completely
finalized" proposals, and were
told by Board members not to
start at the top, but to work with
currenuy worung on Sophomore ^^^ Major goals for Pan-Hell
Week (Feb. 21-26). The Junior ^''« scholarships and social members of the administration

have to put these things in that
effect higher education because I
think he is committed to higher
education in Virginia and I think
he is going to do all that he can to
help higher education in Virginia
but these have just been tough
economic times and he's had to
make some just across the board
cuts.
Rotunda — One final question.
Do you believe Longwood College
is on the right track?
Rust — Yes, I do. Very
definitely I think we're on the
right track. We've had some hard
times down here, as you know,
several years ago. And the things
that happened were unfortunate.
But I think that with the new
administration, the new
philosophy, the new outlook, the
board is a hard working group of
individuals who see good things
for Longwood, are conunitted to
Longwood imd I think yes, we are
on the right path. And I think that
Longwood's future is very bright.
And I say that as a VPI boy.

This all happoied, more or
less. Names have been changed
neither to protect innocence nor
culpability. Not that either is
exactly appljcable to the
situation.
Let me explain:
Myself and a short artsie
friend named Toadis were taking
a quiet stroll along Pine Street,
along the sidewalk tangent to
North Main and South
Cunningham. At 12:30 a.m. the
weather was obtrusive, nipping
down our upturned collars and
slipping like ice water up our
bare fingers and wrist. Rough
music from the dorms
punctuated the silence more than
broke it. We were heading to Par-
Bils for mixer and the slight
sojourn of lights and warmth we
hoped to find there. Occasionally,
like an incredulous liemotiv for
this drama, a dark blue
Longwood campus police car
patrolled alongside us. Toadis
asked, "Do they keep us safe
from the outside or the outside
safe from us?"
I ignored Toadis because he
was always saying things like
that, such as "What is the
purpose of institution?" or "It's
12:00 midnight, do you know
where your parents are?" He was
a 24-year-old victim of Dada
overdose as far as I could tell.
We were near the intersection
of Pine and Redford, catercomer
to the face of Lankford building
when a beige Duster imitating
Steve McQueen in "Bullet" or
one of thos Hazzard County boys
popped over the hill.
Roaring and screaming down
Pine Street, sucking up the
asphalt like a 747 during takeoff,
down past Lankford it whined
and shot through the little red
sign marked "Stop" like a
greased cannonball. We stood
beside the red icon spinning silly
pirouettes as the snaky lines of
headlights screeched sideways in
the road and then, champions of
redneck lore, off into the night.
The tinkle of broken glass
sounded in its jet stream like a
parting fart.
Toadis muttered something
about mass hallucinations and
"They outhta be hung." I nodded
my agreement and we turned up
Redford. Our knees were
trembling from the weather and
too much adrenalin with nowhere
to go.
Our recurring motif — that
dark blue campus police car —
was driving towards us, down
Redford. Toadis began to wave
"over here," "over here." The
car stopped and Toadis walked
up to the Longwood policeman
inside. He had the expression of a
businessman who, having a
thousand pressing matters, is
interrupted by a wife that wants
to know if her jewelry clashes.
He said, "Yes?"
Toadis said, "Listen, there's
some guy driving like a maniac
around here; he's in a beige
Duster, I think."
m'5
TURN
The policeman looked at
Toadis' unkempt blonde hair and
reeded hat and "You've got to
have Art" buttons and said, "Did
you get a license number?"
"Well ... no, he was gone in a
flash ... I mean he must have
been doing 60 . . . Ya know,
somebody could get killed."
"Uh hu ... WeU, we'U keep our
eyes peeled." The policeman
rolled up his window and drove
away.
Toadis made a prediction, which
I thought stemmed more from his
arcane philosophies than any
number df real experiences he
may have had. He said,'*Now, ten
to one those two spend the rest of
the night peeking into windows
and busting Longwood students
stupid enough to walk around
with open beers."
It wasn't a very fair accus-
ation. After all, consuming
alcohol in public places was
illegal and part of their job had to
be pulling in the culprits of
alcohol abuse. They were bound
to set their priorities, though, and
nab the idiots flying around
campus in a beige Duster. As
Toadis said, "Somebody could
get killed!" Right.
We were waiting to cross Route
15 and enter Par-Bils when
Toadis grabbed my arm. "Will ya
look at that!"
Our big blue automobile was
parked diagonally on the lawn in
front of Frazer, its headlights
silhouetting the figures of the two
campus policemen to whom
Toadis had just spoken. They
were exercising full investigative
privileges a la flashlights and an
opened window on the bottom
floor of Frazer,
We guessed what was
happening at the window. "You
boys are going to hafta calm
down in here, we got folks outside
that's tryin' to sleep . . . And don't
let me see no liquor poppin' round
neither. Not but a handful of y'all
21 and I'll lay even odds ya
couldn't handle the stuff even if
you were."
"Oh, that's sweet," Toadis said
and turned to walk across the
street. I held out my arm. A set of
familiar headlights were
streaming down Route 15 doing at
least 60 — the beige Duster
sweeping over the white
crosswalk so fast that had it been
a road runner cartoon the two
safety lines would have been
rippling and oscillating for
minutes in the Duster's wake.
"So, when's Hitler's
anniversary?" asked Toadis
sardonically.
"Last Sunday," I said and
shrugged. Toadis pinched the
bridge of his nose with his fingers
and began shaking his head.
Absurdity has a way of doing that
to folks.
Toadis was ranting on about
the actions of the campus police
as we headed back from Par-
Bil's. "And look at the get-up they
have — mace and clubs and snub-
nose 38's and moldy bullets . . .
Now you tell me — when was the
last riot at Longwood? Huh! tell
me that! What are they gonna do
— shoot somebody for dorm
hopping . . . and then, when they
get a chance to use all that
muscle, what do they do? They
harass some drunken fraternity
brothers too wiped out to focus,
much less even talk!
"I know, I know," I said,
nodding my head in sympathy.
We stopped in front of Frazer.
A lone redheaded music major
was standing outside the dorm in
a thin nylon shirt with a white
collar and was sipping a Miller
Lite. He stood as someone who
only vaguely apprehends reality
and his cloudy eyes gave
credence to our immediate
suspicion that he was drunk out of
his mind. Toadis started relating
our story to him "And then these
jerk-offs, etc," and warned him
about drinking in public. The
music major handed Toadis the
beer and stumbled off towards
the dorm, slurring some words,
"You can never bee too careful" .
. . or a close facsimile and walked
inside.
Toadis was carrying the Miller
Lite as we walked down the
sidewalk past Curry when we
heard a screech off to our left.
Under the circumstances we
assumed a beige Duster was
parked over there to the left, and
that we would soon be hailed with
snide invectives. We kept
walking forward, our eyes
staring holes in the sidewalk.
"Hey, boiy (as in Jackie Gleason
in Smoky and the Bandit), what
the heck do you think you're
doing?" The invective
assumption was accurate, the
source, oh proud literary irony,
was not. It was, to be descriptive,
a blue uniformed and be-capped
human, with a Sam Brown belt
supporting his thumbs — an
actual re-make of Mayberry
R.F.D., featuring none other than
Barney Pfeiff and his clone.
They didn't like the
Miller Lite in Toadis' hand.
They dragged him off into
the squad car. He was yelling
something about Fascism and
Hitler's anniversary and trying
to spill Miller Lite on the clone's
single-striped pants. I heard an
engine whine over near Stubbs
dormitory, then a roar, then a
familiar tinkle of glass. The dark
blue car pulled away with Toadis
in the back. I didn't know
whether to laugh or cry.
Absurdity has a way of doing that
to folks.
Catching Up
On
Minority Issue
By CHRISTOPHER P. COX
Longwood College is trying
hard to catch up with the modem
world by accepting more
minority students into its
hallowed halls in an attempt to
create a mixture of students
more representative of the actual
mixture of Virginia's citizens.
The administration admits to
falling far short of its goal,
although it has made significant
progress in the past year.
However, even as the student
body, faculty and administration
become more realistically joined
with the present, the biased
attitudes of days gone by
continue to linger.
Ffie most obvious targets for
these biased attitudes are those
most obvious minority groups,
namely those groups known as
different "races" because the
skin of these people happens not
to be white or Caucasian. Never
mind the fact that they all belong
to the same race as the white
majority, namely the human
race; That is not enough reason
to treat them as equals according
to many members of the "white
race." These attitudes are rarely
expressed as blatant bigotry and
even less often as open
persecution; This distrust of
difference is usually manifested
in more subtle ways, such as
shunning or acting reserved
around the minority member. It
is often so ingrained that it is not
even done consciously, such as
when a faculty member asks the
most difficult questions of a
minority student consistently and
makes that student appear
ignorant or foolish in class.
To help counter these attitudes,
minority organizations have
increased along with minority -
enrollment. For the
Afro-American student at I^ong-
wood there exists Omega Psi
Phi fraternity. Alpha Kappa
Alapha sorority, the Afro-
American Student Alliance, The
Basic Gospel Choir, and a bi-
annual newsletter called "The
Summit". Unfortunately, no
other "race" minorities are
represented by organizations in
Nestle's Reply
this campus, and the oft noted
observation that even the well
represented Afro-American
students tend to stick together in
cliques shows that total
acceptance of these minorities
still lies in the future. Longwood's
environment regretably
reenforces the negative
attitudes; A student from
Northern Virginia recently
complained that he has suffered
"culture shock" over break when
he saw a Black businessman in a
three-piece suit and remembered
that Blacks were equals after all
— here at Longwood he had
grown so used to seeing Blacks as
janitors and in other servile
positions and had so few Blacks
in any of his classes that he had
forgotten that fact. To their
credit, the administration has
recognized the environmental
factor and has launched a
campaign to increase minority
representation in the faculty and
staff, but for the moment the
proW.em remains.
Less obvious are the religious
minorities, those adherents of
faiths other than Christianity.
Like the racial minorities they
are underrepresented on this
campus, but they generally seem
to have fewer difficulties in being
accepted here. Perhaps this is
because they lack local places of
worship and therefore have a low
profile. They have to put up with
a lot of slurs on their faith,
though, because of their low
profile: someone who likes
bigoted jokes may not make a
racial slur with someone of that
minority present, but he or she
cannot so easily see if a religious
minority is present before
making some crack about that
faith. Such lack of consideration
extends to higher levels as well:
A Jewish student was angered to
find that one night both of the
main courses offered in the
dining hall consisted of pork. A
further difficulty for religious
minorities is the fact that they
have no official representation
and no campus organizations;
The so-called "lx)ngwood Inter-
religious Council" listed in the
(Continued on Page 1 2)
On October 14, 1982 the Nestle
Infant Formula Audit
Commission, chaired by former
Secretary of State Edmund S.
Muskie and composed of eminent
scientists, physicians, and
clergy, presented its First
Quarterly Report. The
Commission announced Nestle's
agreement to comply with the
ConruTiission's reconmiendations
to improve the Instructions
issued by the company in March,
1982. These instructions
implement the WHO Code in all
developing countries in which
Nestle markets infant formula.
Senator Muskie said in his
report that Nestle has

WUTA- Use It Or Lose It!
Advisory Committees
By JACK BARKER
Longwood College is lucky to
have a radio station. Yes, we do
have a radio station - WUTA 90.1
FM. Such a medium of broadcast
on a campus has many
advantages. Here are some:
( 1) For small clubs — through
WUTA you can announce
functions, open membership
meetings, the progress of your
activities, and remind members
of meetings and functions.
(2) For fraternities and
sororities — Items such as Rush,
service projects, officer
elections, and progress reports
on campus-community activities
may be made known to the
student body through WUTA.
(3) For the administration or
the SGA — achievements,
activities and deadlines may be
announced.
(4) For the Student Union —
Your varied upcoming functions
may be announced over WUTA.
(5) For the individual student
— some things available to you
through WUTA are information,
entertainment, and a chance to
get involved.
Moreover, the station is
growing. The long off-air layoff
we had last semester was not due
to laziness or lack of interest, but
due to the fact that we were busy
installing almost all new
equipment. Everything new and
functional at WUTA, it's looking
good. And there's opportunity in
that for any student who wishes
to work with the station. Whether
you have records or not is no
longer an issue — because the
station is stocked to the gills with
gobs of the latest albums and
bunches of 45's. So if you want to
be a record spinner — there's

Lonjjwood Pageant
Thirteen young women at
Longwood College have been
selected from applicants to
compete in the Miss Longwood
Pageant on March 5. The
Pageant will be part of the Miss
America series, with the winner
competing in the Miss Virginia
Pageant in July.
The 13 contestants for Miss
Longwood were chosen in
preliminary competitions held
recently at the college. They
were judged on talent, swimsuit
and microphone presentations.
The winning contestants are:
Jamie Blankenship, a freshman
therapeutic recreation major
from Vienna; Robin Elder, a
freshman mathematics major
from Buckingham; Shanna Eyer,
a junior history major from
Fairfax; Nancy Grimstead, a
junior business education major
from Portsmouth; Robyn
Grinnell, a sophomore
mathematics major from
Richmond; Elizabeth Lilley, a
sophomore business
administration major from
Winchester; Martha Sandidge, a
junior biology major from
Manasses; Tammy Schmelter, a
sophomore art education major
from East Setauket, NY;
Kimberly Short, a junior
elementary education major
from Emporia; Gray Stabley, a
sophomore mathematics major
from Chester; Pamela Stanley, a
senior business administration
major from Charlottesville; and
Natalie Thompson, a sophomore
music major from Alexandria.

For those interested in disc
jockeying (or perhaps giving a

meetings are open to newcomers.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday, Feb. 9, at 1 p.m. (or,
stop by the station just about any
weekday from 3-4 p.m. to obtain
information).
WUTA's range of
programming is diverse. It
includes gospel, hard rock, jazz,
new wave, and country. Special
features in the recent past have
included live broadcasting of last
year's Chi Walk and an interview
with witches. So you see, our
radio station has something for
everybody. Let's enjoy — if we
don't use it we may lose it, and
what an incredible loss that
would be!

Director of the Board of Visitors,
Janet Greenwood, President and
Vice Presidents Donald Lemish,
Phyllis Mable and Michael
Haltzel, all took their turns
letting the committee members
in on what Longwood was like.
Most of it was the usual PR and
the beauty of PR is that you get to
brag. That took a while because
these people have had a lot to
brag about lately.
Dr. Greenwood had the longest
speech so she got to do most of the
bragging. Trips to Europe and
solid relations with some schools,
there, the most money ever
raised by the college, the most
applications for admission in 13
years (I guess that will mean the
most triples ever, next fall), the
Social Work Program, plans for
the Fine Arts center, athletic
accomplishments and more. I've
heard it all a million times but the
guests were impressed as one
well should be by such
accomplishments.
Greenwood balanced the past
accomplishments with future
goals that the college has formed,
the most interesting of which is
much more emphasis on liberal
arts in all classes. "We believe
strongly that a liberal arts
background is quite important
and that there are skills that
come out of liberal arts education
that will always be in demand
regardless of ones career
choice," she said. Solid plans for
the accomplishment of this goal
are already under way in the
forms of a writing requirement
for all tests and a schoolwide
foreign language requirement
which the administration is
pushing for.
Don Lemish followed the
President relating the history of
the institution, mentioning the
phenomenal 86 percent pledges
from faculty when most faculties
are not even solicited and
introducing all the guests at
the meeting. Phyllis Mable gave
a nice opinion of the students but
really urged the committees to go
out and talk to the students
themselves. After Gil
Davenport's luncheon address,
Mike Haltzell further discussed
future plans, most interestingly
the computerization of the
library. Again, liberal arts and
communication skills were
emphasized. According to
Haltzell "we feel that the use of
one's native language, both
spoken and written is absolutely
central to success in the future
and if we were to pinpoint one
single skill, one tool that we hope
our students leave these ivy
covered walls with it would be the
ability to express themselves
adequately in English."
After Haltzell the various
department heads and their
advisory committees broke into
respective groups and met
separately. I sat in on the
English, Philosophy and Foreign
language department and unlike
the former processions, things
began to get a little embarrasing.
Students and funds have shied
from the department lately
because besides teaching, few
solid career opportunities exist
directly related to these majors.
Recent studies have shown that
students want high paying jobs
and the money, presently is going
towards these computers that
everybody is talking about.
Business, computer science and
math are the majors that are
presently enjoying this trend
Frank A. MacDonald.
Professor of Philosophy
Emeritus at William and Mary
noted the irony at this train of
thought. "People running
business on the East coast are not
business administration majors.
They're from Harvard.
Princeton and Yale where those
courses aren't even taught."
So while the business
department probably got to do
some nice bragging about their
newest computers and the P.E.
department had a whole new
building to show off, this
department had to explain why
there were so few Philosophy
majors and why a
$100,000 dollar language lab had
been dismantled earlier. But the
committee was impressed with
the faculty of the department
considering them dedicated
people although hampered by
several nearly uncontrollable
forces.
The meeting broke up in time
for everyone to regroup for wine
and cheese in the Virginia room. 1
didn't figure 1 would get any wine
out of the deal so I took off to my
room for a vintage bottle of Piels
and some reflection. I
remembered Dr. Greenwood's
opinion on this whole thing at one
point in her speech. "I would Uke
to say to you in complete
earnestness that if this was five
years from today I really do
believe that today we will look at
this as the major turning point of
the institution in the academic
affairs barrier."
What will Longwood really be
like in five years? Will business
majors really write out
discussions of supply and
demand instead of marking
"none of the above" on a
computerized answer sheet? Will
future Longwood students be
famous for knowing how to ask
where the bathroom is in four
languages and also joke about
how simple the new IBMs are to
program? The Greenwood
administration seems to possess
all the qualities, possibly
excepting humility, to
accomplish that goal, along with
their many others.
Well, one final Piels and one
final quote from Thomas Rust,
Director of the Board of Visitors.
"Things are happening here at
Longwood. It's an exciting time.
And with your (the committee's)
help and by working together
with all the groups here in our
Longwood family we can greatly
enhance not only our services to
our students, which is our first
obligation, but also to the entire
conunonwealth and hopefully to
the nation,"

Lancers Split With Trojans
Face Randolph-Macon Thursday, Away
Longwood's men's basketball
team got a big win Tuesday night
67-61 over Uberty Baptist, but the
Lancers let another triumph slip
through their fingers Saturday
night as Virginia State ralUed for
an 85-84 win before 2,500 fans, a
record crowd in lancer Hall.
Now 11-6, the Lancers visit 10th
ranked Randolph-Macon
Thursday night in Ashland, after
hosting a potent Guilford team
Monday night. With eight games
left to go, Longwood could still
finish 19-6 if the team could put
together a strong finish.
lx)ngwood turned in a strong
performance Saturday night, but
missed free throws spelled the
difference. Trailing 8-1 early and
39-38 at the half, the Lancers
battled back to go on top 59-51
with 12:24 left in the game.
During one stretch near the end,
however, Longwood was able to
convert just three of eight free
throw chances and the Trojans
caught up. A free throw by Kevin
Bush at 0:05 gave Virginia State
the win.
Senior co-captain Joe Remar
turned in a sparkling scoring
performance, driving over,
under, around and through the
Trojans for a career high 30
points. He added six assists and
could have added more points but
for missed four shots. The
Longwood scoring leader also
had five steals. He scored 18
points in the second half, alone.
Supporting Remar's REMAR-
KABLE effort were forward
Jerome (The Cobra) Kersey with
18 points (10 of 12 free throws), 14
rebounds, five steals and three
assists. Kersey compiled those
eye-popping stats in just 28
minutes of action. He fouled out
with 3:23 left in the game.
Center Ron Orr added 18 points
and freshman Lonnie Lewis
scored 12 for the Lancers.
It was Lewis, a 6-3 forward
from Henrico High School, who
poured in 20 points in the second
half (26 for the game) to lead
Longwood over visiting Liberty
Baptist Tuesday. The point total
is a career high for the sharp-
shooting eager.
Kersey also played well in the
win with 15 points, 15 rebounds

Jane Miller said of the triumph
over LBC. "We had two of our top
players out, but we still found a
way to win. Amy Cook helped us
in the first half with her outside
shooting."
The Lady Lancers had played
one of their best games of the
season Tuesday night while
bowing at William & Mary.
Assistant coach Nanette Fishei
said Longwood may have been
too intense. Eckel scored 17
Holmes 16 and Robin Powell 14,
but the Indians came up with the
crucial points in overtime.
Saturday at Richmond, Turner
and Johnson scored 12 points and
Eckel 13, but the talented Spiders
turned in a strong performance.
Freshman wrestler Terry Hale
won all three matches in the
Washington and Lee Invitational
January 22 to win the title at 134
pounds and for his performance,
Hale has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period January 21-28. Player
of the Week is chosen by the
Longwood sports information
office.
"Terry wrestled super in
winning his first collegiate
tournament," said Coach Steve
Nelson in nominating Hale for the
award. "He fractured his
collarbone before Christmas
break in the Liberty Baptist
Tournament, but he has really
come back strong since then. He
wrestled very well in the
tournament despite the fact that
he's not yet back to full strength,
Terry got two pins and a major
decision en route to the
championship."
Hale has compiled an 8-5
overall record at 134 despite his
injury and has been a key factor
in Longwood compiling a 6-3-1
record. The freshman picked up a
win and a forfeit win Friday as
Longwood ripped Lynchburg and
Loyola of Baltimore.
A four-year grappler at Orange
County High School, Hale won
district, regional and state
crowns. He was also named Most
Valuable Senior Wrestler.

and four assists. Orr added 11
points and 10 rebounds for
Longwood.
Another freshman who played
well in the win was Frank
Tennyson who filled in admirably
for foul-plagued Mike Testa. In 24
minutes of action Tennyson had
no turnovers, two points and
three assists.
Remar (19.9 points) and
Kersey (10.7 rebounds) and the
Longwood team (54.1 FG
shooting) have ranked among the
national leaders in NCAA
Division II most of the season.
Remar, Longwood's all-time
scoring leader (1,349 points) was
rated 15th in the most recent
NCAA stats in scoring.
Longwood's top career
rebounder (691), Kersey is
among the top 10 rebounders in
Division II. The Lancers ranked
6th in field goal percentage
among Div. II clubs.
Senior guard Bobby Carter was
forced to drop off the I^ancer
squad because of a conflict with
student teaching. A senior
physical education major, Carter
had played in nine games for the
Lancers, averaging 2.6 points. He
holds the distinction of being the
first lancer eager to make a 3-
point field goal.
"We hate to lose Bobby from
the team, but he really had no
choice but to drop off," said
Longwood coach Cal Luther.
"He's student teaching in
Richmond and couldn't get things
worked out so he could commute
back and fourth for practice."

Wrestlers Now 6-3-1
Host Tigers Wednesday
By RONNIE BROWN
The Longwood wrestlers swept
two wins Friday over Lynchburg
37-12 and Loyola (MD) 48-9 to
build their record to 6-3-1. The
Lancers face Hampden-Sydney
Wednesday in Lancer Hall at 7 : 30
and travel to counter George
Mason and George Washington
Saturday, Feb. 5.
Sophomores Steve Albeck, a
142 pounder, and Chuck Campbell
a 150 pounder, notched two
victories each by decision or pin
to record marks of 13-6-1 and 10-3,
respectively, in overall
competition. Freshman Terry
Hale, a 134 pounder, soph Dana
Dunlap, a 167 pounder, and
Senior Joe Bass, a 177 pounder,
also recorded two victories.
Campbell, who wrestled both
matches with a knee injury, is
questionable for this week's
action.
Although the Lancers won by
convincing margins in both
matches, Coach Steve Nelson is
not satisfied with the team's
progression in the second
semester.
"We did not wrestle as well as
we have before this season,"
noted Nelson. "We still haven't
gotten back our intensity after
three weeks. With only 13
wrestlers and injuries, it is hard
to get in good practices."
The Lancers will be vying for
the first win over the winless
Tigers and will face a tougher
challenge Saturday with George
Mason and George Washington.
"We will have to wrestle much
better to be competitive with
either team (GMU or GW)," said
Nelson. "Mason is strong in the
lightweights and has a nationally
ranked heavyweight and George
Washington is strong all the way
through the line-up."

regroup quickly for a trip to
Liberty Baptist Tuesday night.
Now 12-7 with six games to go,
the Lancers will face an uphill
battle Tuesday night in
Lynchburg. The Flames, 15-7
with three straight wins, have not
beaten Longwood since 1978.
Longwood has won the last four

Yellow Jackets were in top form
and the Lancers were not. Except
for 24 points from freshman
Lonnie Lewis and 18 points and IP

Hampden-Sydney
By RONNIE BROWN
Currently 7-5-1, the Longwood
grapplers wrapped up a winning
season Wednesday, February 2,
with a 53-6 trouncing of
Hampden-Sydney in Lancer Hall
and were subdued by Division I
George Mason and George
Washington Saturday, January 5,
by scores of 35-9 and 29-15,
respectively. The Lancers will
travel to Washington, D.C.,
Tuesday to participate in the
Capital Collegiate Tournament
this week and will end the season
hosting the Generals of
Washington and Lee, Wednesday,
February 16.
Although the win over the
Tigers was not dramatic, the
triumph was a big turning point
in the five-year-old Lancer
Wrestling Program. Not only was
the win the first over Hampden-
Sydney on the wrestling mat, but
it gave the Lancer wrestling
program its first winning season.
The Lancers found competition
much stiffer as they dropped
matches to George Mason and
George Washington, Saturday.
"I felt the score against George
Washington was not indicative of
the match," said Coach Steve
Nelson. "We wrestled a close
match, but could not win the key
weight classes."
Although the LC Grapplers
suffered two loses, there were
some bright spots.
Freshman Steve Kidwell, a 126-
pounder, was 2-0 at 134 and Soph
Steve Albeck was 1-1 at 142 and
150, respectively. Other double
winners were senior Joe Bass, a
177-pounder, and soph Dana
Dunlap, a 167 pounder.
Although the Lancers will post
their finest wrestling record this
season. Coach Nelson has not
been pleased with the grapplers
second semester performance.
"We haven't wrestled with any
intensity since the first
semester," noted Nelson. I
thought the win over Hampden-
Sydney would get the kids fired
up, but it hasn't worked. We will
have to wrestle with intensity and
emotion to be competitive
Tuesday (Capital Collegiate

Lady Lancers Win
One of Three
Longwood's women's bas-
ketball team had another up-
and-down week in recent play,
losing to Bridgewater 70-59 -
Tuesday, beating Delaware State
64-52 Thursday and dropping a 63-
47 decision to UNC-Greensboro
on the road Saturday.
Now 7-12, the Lady Lancers
visit Randolph-Macon in Ashland
Tuesday and travel to Lynchburg
Saturday to take on Liberty
Baptist at 3:00. Both games are
VAIAW Division II contests and
take on added importance.
Longwood needs to win both
contests to stay in the chase for a
spot in the VAIAW Div. II Final
Four March 4-5 at Lonewood.
Coach Jane Miller was
especially pleased with her
team's play in the win over
Delaware State, a Div. I team.
"We executed very well and got
contributions from a lot of
people," said Miller. "We played
a good tempo that allowed us to
execute and the kids kept good
control throughout the game.
Rebounding was a big key for us
also."
"I have been expecting all
along that those four would play
well together at the same time,"
said Miller. "The win really
picked us up after a disappointing
loss to Bridgewater."
Sophomore Kelly Crepps
(Hampton) had an outstanding
performance in a meet with
Radford January 28 and for her
efforts, Crepps has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period January 25-
February 4. Player of the Week is
chosen by the Longwood sports

Crepps, Longwood's top all-

Division II National
Championships, was the top all-
around in the Lancers' 153.50-
153.75 loss to Radford and also
performed well January 30 as
Longwood finished second in the
George Washington Invitational.
"Kelly was first in vaulting
(8.8) and all-around (32.2) at the
Radford meet," said coach Ruth
Budd in nominating her for the
award. "Her vaulting score was
the highest score of the meet and
in addition, she placed second on
bars (7.65) and beam (8.15) and
fourth on floor.
"The key to Kelly's success at
this meet was that she did
extremely well in two events
(vaulting and beam) and fairly
well in the remaining two events.
Kelly's scores were definitely a
strong factor in keeping the team
score so close."

Toby Thompson
began to move away from the
inner city which quickly was
filling up with blacks; whom the
white middle class saw as this
terrible force to be avoided. Su-
burbia was formed almost in
reaction to the hysteria of WWII
where people were thrown
together in a way that they
couldn't avoid; and suburbia
afforded a kind of privacy that
people couldn't find before.
Unfortunately, my generation
had to grow up in suburbia and
this sense of isolation and
vacancy that my generation feels
and that the children of my
generation feel who still live in
suburbia is something that this
culture has had to deal with. The
fact that people are now moving
into the cities again and creating
neighborhoods which are very
much like life in small town
America and in college is
important.
Rotunda — One often hears
urban life criticized for the fast
pace, for the number of violent
crimes coming from the inner
city, and in particular, the
number of juvenile delinquents;
isn't that a major problem?
Thompson — The problem of
delinquency in cities, as you raise
it, and as most people raise it,
almost always has kind of a
racial tinge to it. We think of —
what's the phrase — Bands of
Marauding Black Youth. I think
you're talking about complicated
economic problems there that
are different than what we're tal-
king about in terms of the white
middle class finding something
positive about moving back into
the city. I don't think that a
confrontation with delinquency
on any number of levels is
necessarily bad. I think that the
isolation from that kind of -
situation has been one of the
problems of living in Suburbia.
Delinquency, Aggression, kind of
a divergency of behavior is
something that exists in the world
and people in urban
environments have confronted
that throughout history; it's
really only in suburban existence
that people have tried to isolate
themselves from that. Ironically,
if you read the newspaper, very
often the most horrible and
violent crimes are the ones that
people are committing against
each other in suburban
circumstaces. ; the fathers and
mothers who come home and
eviscerate their children and
then blow their own heads off.
Those are the crimes that are
happening in suburbia. The
things that are happening in the
inner city are poverty related;
they're bad, don't get me wrong,
I'm not romanticizing crime. But
they're more economic
conditions and I think as a child
growing up in the city, I
remember that sort of danger,
that rubbing shoulders with
danger as being something I
learned a great deal from; and
I wouldn't trade it. There are
great advantages to being street-
wise. You think about a survivor
in suburbia or in the great
unwashed middle class as
someone who's really learned
how to live with vacancies and
en nui and this terrible sense of
emptiness of lives. You think of
the inner city hipster, the person
whose future is on the line, every
day whether through economic
deprivation or by choice; they
are people who live with danger,
who seem to get a lot out of life,
and I don't mean to romanticize
that . But I think that to live
fully is to be confronted with
danger.
Rotunda — It sounds like
Norman Mailor has had an
influence on you.
Thompson — Norman Mailor
has been a large influence on me,
there is no question about that. I
think he's a wonderful writer and
I think he is one of our major
writers. I think he has a streak of
this absolute obtuse craziness
which you can't
avoid. He's got this obsessive
compulsive nature that I identify
with. But I think he's right about
an awful lot of things. The White
Negro is his famous polemic on
hip; which as a matter of fact
was the sub-theme or the major
theme, really of my 60's book
which was about hip or the
evolution of that philosophy, in
the white middle class — and it's
my feeling that it (hip) is the
student handbook is described as
being a strictly Christian
organizations.
The "invisible minority" —
homosexuals or "Gays" would
seem to have a particularly
difficult situation: there is a
general lack of tolerance in
society as a whole, which the
conservative image of Longwood
and the Farmville area could
only serve to exacerbate. Like
the religious minorities, the Gays
at Longwood lack official
result of the white middle class's
exposure to the black culture
through rock 'n roll — the
offspring of jazz — and Vietnam
and a lot of
other absurd situations. What
we're talking about or dealing
with is a kind of poor man's
existentialism, where people are
either trying to live their lives by
a certain kind of code or they're
not. I think that the key word is
danger — that an avoidance of
danger, an avoidance of the
possibility of failure or death in
one's life is a really futile
exercise.
Rotunda — You have written in
the non-fiction narrative form
since you began your career as
an author. Why is that?
Thompson — The kind of
journalism I do is what was
called the new journalism in the
1960's and now it really doesn't
have a name except maybe
narrative non-fiction. Basically,
what happened in the 60's and
what intrigued a writer such as
mys elf is that these incredible
events started transpiring in the
culture that became really more ,
interesting than anything a
writer could imagine.
I was trained in fiction
writing, but I couldn't sit on
my duff any longer. I had to get
out there and see what was going
on. So i took my training as a
fiction writer and confronted the
events that were happening in the
Minorities
representation and official
organizations. There is one
unofficial informal group —
"Longwood's Discreet Gay
Society" — but it is a fledgeling
organization.
Of course, a realistic
proportion of minority
representation within the student
body, the Administration, the
faculty and the staff, and
increased minority
representation in college
organizations would help create a
culture and sort of claimed the
new form. Not that I created it;
writers like Norman Mailor and
Tom Wolfe and other people
forged the way. When I came
along in the late 60's as a
professional writer, there was so
much happening and it was a
brand new form, it was
almost like the creation of rock-
'n'-roU again. I mean journalism
in the late 60's and early 70's had
the creative force of rock-'n'-roll
early in the 50's ... it was
something that was brand new.
So what I do — and I did write
some fiction as well — is to go out
and confront people in strange
situations and write about their
lives. Most of the work I do works
the way fiction would . My books
are novels — they're non-fiction
novels. They have characters
which develop over the course of
the book, they have plots. You
develop it absolutely the way you
develop a novel. When you're
writing an article you hope that it
works the same way a short story
would work. But what became
fascinating for me was
ultimately . the technique of
the interview. Reportage, as
Truman Capote noted, is an art
form in itself. It's a great
unexplored art form. Great
writers have always used
reportage — extensively. They're
always gone out and talked to
people about the way they live
their lives. In our day and age it's
better environment for
minorities at Longwood, but
these changes would by no means
assure a change in the attitudes
of the "majority"; Those
necessary changes in attitudes
can only come from within the
people who hold the prejudiced
views. These views often stem
from a fear of the unknown, a
fear of something or someone
different, a fear of
"contamination". These fears
are irrational and foolish; There
also very difficult to get
published any other way. Joum-
lism is the great entree. I just
spent two days in New York with
Raquel Welch. How in the world
if I went out of journalism could I
ever have experienced two days
in New York with Raquel Welch
at this particular time in her
career as queen of New York.
I not only spent those days with
her but I sat down and more or
less stuck a microphone in her
face and got her to talk about
fairly intimate aspects of her life.
There is this cachet that journa-
lists have. We are obsessed
in this country with the
confessional; in a sense
journalists are priests. It's
extraordinary the things that
total strangers will tell you about
their lives in the context of an
interview. If you're good at it
you're really as effective as a
kind of therapist or lay psychiatr-
ist. You know how to probe into
people's minds; you know when
they make statements that are
revealing. You know how to
follow up on those statements and
it becomes absolutely
fascinating. It's like shooting the
white waters; you're looking for
those rocks to come up and you're
doing all this editing in your head
and the writing ultimately be-
comes the biggest drag. It's
depressing to say that for
someone who got into it as a
writer. But for people who
haven't done it, the excitement
and edge of reporting is
something that they just can't
realize.
will always be uncertainty in life;
Everybody is different; The only
thing contaminating about people
are their ideas — and you have to
allow yourself to be
contaminated thereby willingly
adopting the other person's ideas
and viev/s. And because
everybody is indeed different,
everybody is a minority.

Coal Combustion ?
It may be that the Longwood
powerplant chipped off more
than it bargained for when it
started a project about three and
one-half weeks ago using
woodchips to fuel inactive coal
burners. The project is what
Longwood's Public Affairs office
quaintily described as a "ray of
hope for the future" but the ray
could be dimmed because the
wood chips are being helped
along with chunks of coal; which,
under EPA standards of air
pollution control could be illegal.
Under current regulations
according to Director of the Air
Pollution Control board, Mr.
Gene Brooks, the Longwood
Power Plant can only use coal in
cases of emergency shutdowns
and with prior notification to the
EPA (i.e. Air Pollution Control
Board). The Longwood Power
Plant has been using coal
regularly to help fire up the wood
chip project.
A number of the workers (who
preferred anominity) have
attacked the project for being too
painstaking and backwards. "It
don't work . . . those boilers
aren't designed for woodchips;
they're designed for coal and
nothing else but coal ... We get
these woodchips by the ton (from
local lumber mills such as
Buffalo Shook for $7.00-$8.00 a
ton) and we've got to shovel them
in by hand and the stuff is slow
burning — it takes a helluva lot
more sawdust or chips to get the
same number of BTU's as oil or
coal."
The workers help out the slow
burning wood with coal which is
stockpiled in a shelter
perpendicular to the power plant.
"Saw dust won't bring up a
sufficient amount of heat ... we
have to mix it with coal
sometimes to get the heat back
up."
Mr. Hill and Mr. Armstrong,
who supervise the pcrwer plant
contend that it is legal to bum the
coal because of an emergency
shutdown which occurred from
Jan. 17-Jan. 25 in one of the oil
burners at the power plant. Mr.
Hill said that the EPA was
notified on the 17th that
Longwood would start generating
heat with coal because of the
inoperative oil burner. However,
after the 25th when the oil burner
was operative again the use of
coal should have ceased. Said Mr.
Hill "We're not supposed to be
burning it at all." He continued
"They may throw a shovel full to
get the wood hot . . . but that's
all "
Mr. Armstrong, however, said
that the workers use a "shovel
full an hour depending on the
wood." He contended that there
was an EPA regulation which
allowed for the burning of coal for
less than an hour at any given
time without EPA notification.
Mr. Gene Brooks of the Air
Pollution Control Board said he
had never heard of such a
regulation.
Mr. Brooks said "Longwood
was burning coal for years and
when the existing air pollution
control regulations went into
effect (1970) Longwood couldn't
meet them. They won't continue
to bum coal unless they install
the necessary equipment(bag
houses, electric static
percipatators)^U^th their existing
air pollution equipment they can
not bum coal."
Dr. Vema Armstrong, Vice
A young woi^er stokes the power plant's boiler.
President of Business Affairs for
Longwood College will be
meeting with EPA officials this
Friday, Feb. 18 to discuss the
matter and determine if there are
any violations. She said that
Longwood has not burned coal
under any conditions that are in
violation of EPA regulation.
LED Sign Misled
Observe it against the wall in
the Blackwell Dining Hall, over
the main entrance where the lady
hassles you for an I.D. Is it a
banner? No. The college
administration outlawed banners
because they did not enhance the
attractiveness of the newly
redecorated dining hall.
If you did not notice, last fall,
some measures were taken so
that the dining hall might not be
such a sore spot to the eye. The
floor was waxed and the ceiling
was painted. The tables were
rearranged so not only did the
students get to take a wild guess
at what was an aisle and what
was not, but more students could
eat at one time. And to top it off,
both salad bars were placed in
the middle of the floor so that now
there is one big mob in the middle
of the cafeteria instead of two
little ones on the sides.
Well, the students are pretty
used to getting shafted by Slater,
so those arrangements did not
really get anybody angry but the
removal of the banners was
another story. The ghastly
implications of not being able to
tell each other happy birthday
began to sink in on the student
body and after the ensuing
complaints and editorials and
other actions, many of the
potential banner-hangers were
forced to realize that they just
might have to grow up.
But the SGA was beginning to
realize a more serious problem.
Amidst the announcements of
"Happy 21st from your sweet
sisters" and "Alpha Smegma
Omaha welcomes it's new
pledges" some relevant
information of importance to the
students was passed to them by
banners. The different
organizational meetings and
functions and "if you do not drop
that class in five days you're
going to fail" were examples of
information that was necessary
but now had no really effective
way to reach the student3.
Is it a campus bulletin!? Come

bulletin way up there? For those
of you who are really 4n the dark,

Lancaster Drops
Old System
R! I I KI\(J
In January, the Lancaster
Library at Longwood College
began assigning Library of
Congress classification numbers
to newly-acquired materials.
This system replaces the
previously-used Dewey Decimal
system.
Adopting the Library of
Congress classification will bring
Lancaster Library into the
mainstream of academic library
practice and will thus facilitate
future computer networking
arrangements and other
cooperative activities.
In addition, use of the Library
of Congress classification wiU
allow more efficient processing
of materials, reducing costs
while speeding movement of new
items onto the shelves.
On the library's main floor, the
Dewey holdings have been
compressed to provide space for
separate shelving of the
materials classified by the
Library of Congress scheme. The
shelving designated for the
Library of Congress holdings is at
the back of the South Reading
Room, just beyond the card
catalog. The eventual goal is to
house the older, Dewey-classified
materials on the second floor of
the library and to have only the
newer, Library of Congress-
classified materials on the main
floor.
Although Dewey will cease to
be used for new processing
except in the area of children's
literature, the bulk of the existing
collection will remain in the
Dewey classification for the
foreseeable future. Because the
library is undertaking the
conversion with existing staff,
reclassification will occur only
when a new item represents a
later edition, added volume or
additional copy of an item or set
already in the collection. In such
cases the Dewey-labelled
materials will be reclassed to join
the new items on the Library of
Conress shelves.
To accommodate users to the
new system, the library has
posted signs indicating the
location of the Library of
Congress shelves and detailing
the basic arrangement of these
materials. Bookmarks are being
printed to provide users
convenient sumraiaries of the
Library of Congress classes, and
library staff members will offer
special orientation sessions and
assist users on an individual
basis.
Dr. Jo Leslie Sneller, a Longwood English professor (right), recently became the first person to
check out a book using the new Library of Congress system at Lancaster Library.
Wine Appreciation
Longwood College's Continuing
Studies program is offering a
non-credit course entitled "A
Workshop in Wine Appreciation,"
beginning March 1 and
continuing through April 26.
The workshop sessions are
scheduled on Tuesdays, from 4:30
to 6 p.m., in the Virginia Room at
Longwood. The registration fee is
$35.
The purpose of this workshop is
to provide a brief introduction to
wine appreciation and the art of
wine tasting. Procedures and
terms used to describe wine will
be discussed and illustrated. The
subtleties found in wine will be
explained by briefly discussing
their sources of entry into the
wine during its production.
Finally, a survey of the major
wine regions of the world will be
discussed.
The workshop will be
conducted by Dr. Patrick G.
Barber, associate professor of
chemistry at Longwood. Dr.
Barber's interest in wine and
wine-making developed during
his graduate studies at Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York.
During this time he traveled to
the wineries of upstate New
York, observed their practices,
and began making his own wine
from their grapes. When he and
his wife moved to Southside
Virginia in 1971, they established
their own experimental
wineyard, Schiehallion Vineyard.

Union had seen this type of a sign
displayed at a meeting he had

rendered this information to an
Ad-Hoc for Student Leaders

alternatives to banners in the
dining hall. They are the typed up

After the elimination of
banners, the information was
switched either to the campus
bulletins or the new smoker

manner. It was determined,
though that neither method was
effective enough and the Student
Government went searching for

Kiss Me Goodbye
NOTES
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
One of the oldest film genres is
that of the ghost story. From 1925
with Lon Chaney's "Phantom of
the Opera" to 1981 and "Ghost
Story," there have been endless
attempts to scare us into sleeping
with the lights on (I can still
remember refusing to sleep in the
dark after seeing Vincent Price
in "The Fall of the House of
Usher"). On some occasions,
these movie spirits have been
conjured up to make us laugh
rather than frighten us; but, too
often these humorous ghost films
are total failures, relying on
corny humor and campy
situations to form a plot that, in
the end, is just as transparent
and vague as its subject. "Kiss
Me Goodbye" (20th Century Fox)
is a rare exception to this rule.
Sally Field stars in the film as
Kate Vilano, wife of the famous
Broadway coreographer Jolly
Vilano, played by James Coan.
As Kate's flashbacks fill in the
story's gaps, we witness Jolly's
tragic death (he takes a drunken
tumble down a flight of stairs at
one of his own celebrations),
Kate's three years as a widow,
and her prospects for a happy life
with her soon-to-be husband
Rupert Haines, played by Beau
Bridges. The humor begins when
Kate moves back into her New
York house, to find that it is
occupied by the ghost of her dead
husband. What follows is a
humorous array of
circumstances that one might
expect with a ghost for a
companion.
Director Robert Mulligan does
a more than adequate job of
resisting the temptation to slip
into the common and mundane
techniques that are often
employed in this type of film. His
slow motion flashback scenes are
skillfully constructed and briefly
fulfill their purpose without
boring the audience. He very
cleverly introduces the ghost of
Jolly with such devices as a
dancing marionette and
disembodied tap shoes dancing
their way through the house.
Throughout the film, Mulligan
uses techniques such as these to
keep the atmosphere fresh and
lively.
The pinnacle of quality in "Kiss
Me Goodbye" is its screenplay.
Written by Charlie Peters, the
fihn's dialogue is both humorous
and believable. Petere never
allows the comedy to spill over

In this age of Mega Metal and
Synthepop, the Stray Cats offer a
very refreshing sound to our tired
ears. What's so ironic about it is
that this refreshing sound isn't
some new super dynamic kind of
music, but rather good old
Rockabilly!
Rockabilly is exactly what it
says: Rock and roll mixed with a
little bit of Hillbilly, a pinch of
salt and viola!, you have it.
Rockabilly is essentially 50's
music.
The country is being swept by a
great 50's revival. Stores are
beginning to resell all of the 50's
styles, some redesigned and
some even original stock. Sock
hops are popping all over the
place, and a favorite at these
hops are the Stray Cats.
Armed with a hollow body
Gibson, a stand up bass, 2 drums,
tattoes, black T-shirts and
bouffant hairdos, the Stray Cats
are storming up the record and
the popularity charts.
Their latest release Built for
Speed has already spawned two
hits. The rebellious "Rock This
Town" and the slinky "Stray Cat
Sturt." If by some chance you
haven't heard either, "Rock" is
vintage 50's style, and "Strut,"
the Cat's rjithem, is basically a
bluesy cut.
The Long Island band which
made it big in Europe is finally
getting its deserved popularity. I
must, however, say that Built for
Speed is not the kind of album you
listen to. As funny as that may
sound, it's the truth. If you
happen to buy this album, don't

The Back Doors: In Retrospect
By JOHN WATTS
Riding the popular crest of the
Doors current renaissance and
fascination with its charismatic
leader, Jim Morrison comes the
logical formation of imitation
bands who attempt to capture the
same style and sound that make
the band's memory seem more in
reach. It's a very altruistic
notion, and a very hardy
exploitive conunodity for the
uncreative and weak of
character. The tribute can either
be constructive or destructive,
depending on the attitude of the
band.
At the Jarman Auditorium on
the 4th of February, came the
most intriguing and effective
Doors rendition — the Back
Doors. They have stunned and
stymied audiences throughout
their current tour. Intrigued with
the kind of people that put their
hearts on the line for this kind of
entertainment, I took a paper and
a pen to record adjectives as they
spilled out. It was rather
enjoyable to watch a
performance without any
preinstilled partialities; simply
to observe.
The opening act, Chris Bliss,
was a standout success in the
jugglers vein, which is exactly
what he went for, as he peppered
his skillful juggling routines with
outrageous anecdotes of humor.
As with any skilled performer.
Bliss had a resourceful feel for
the mood of the crowd; knowing
when to unleash his Don Rickles'
ridicule, suppressed with enough
good vibratiixis to relieve the
audience rather than arouse
thenL This is not to say there
weren't a few uncomfortable
moments. Several local toughs
sneered the act in their hot seats,
pelting him with thoughtless
obscenities, trying to earn pats on
the back from their followers.
Bliss, who came equipped with
a razor sharp wit, countered the
catcalls with unflappable
aplomb. His juggling left the
appreciative majority
spellbound, weaving his musical
balls through a choreographed
collection of rock songs. He
brought to life songs from Stevie
Wonder to Eric Clapton. The
spectre that raised me from the
level of casual observer to
involved participant was Bliss's
performance during "The Rock"
an instrumental song by the Who
from their rock opera
"Quadrophenia;" with the
dramatic effect of flash pot and
strob light. Bliss began to take on
the proportion of an entire rock
band all by himself.
After the sustained piano note
of "A Day in the Life" had faded
and the stage had cleared, the
audience was buzzing in
anticipation for the main event. I
could catch bits and pieces of
what other people were saying
around me. "If it's Jim, you'll
know it," a girl whispered. The
intensity was picking up. Only a
legend could satisfy this crowd,
and here they were. The Back
Doors came onstage locked into
careful study of its prototype.
All eyes were scanning at
attention as the Jim Morrison
figure strode to the microphone.
So there goes all the theories, he
was alive and well after a 10-ye£\r
hiatus in Africa with Amelia
Earhardt. Such a man could nof
be terminated by mere death. 1
didn't hear such speculative
suggestions by the crowd, but
that's what they were thinking.
The intellectual types who
knew the meaning behind the
Doors' songs sat up smartly in
their seats judging through
frowning glasses. The festive
gung ho partiers raised their fists
and tested the flick of their
lighters. Women gaped and
groaned at the spectre of seeing
the uncanny resemblence the
singer had to Morrison.
The vocalist whose actual
name is Jim Hakim, did indeed
capture the auro of Morrison,
down to the way his slender
stature slinked in tight leather
pants. The entire outfit (the band
that is) wore very well. The
drummer, bassist, keyboard and
guitar player adroitly filled the
roles of Krieger, Manzerick and
Densmore, as the quite yippie
sideman.
Not only did the band match the
greatest hits Doors repiotre with
note for note accuracy, they also
had inventive extended
instrumental jams.
Jim Hakin obviously had
Morrison's stage moves down
with expertise. His occasional
practice of leaving the stage
highlighted the instrumentals
and isolated the virtuoso
interplay between the eerie
keyboard and guitar flourishes.
He also demonstrated the
unpredictable onstage behavior
of Morrison. He evidently wasn't
the smoothest stage mover as
when he executed those frantic
leg spasms, more reminiscent of
a Tennessee dogger. There were
also a few lapses when his
leaning on the microphone stance
reminded me more of Johny
Ramone of tne Ramones than
Morris(m. But that was probably
just me.
Actually it was amazing how
Hakim commanded the
complexity of Morrison's
enigmatic personality.
Fortunately to soothe the
suspense of the crowd. Hakim
would bring back remnants of
reality to remind audiences that
he wasn't the only Jim that
mattered. "I'm not the Lizard
King, but I can do anything."
Such statements bring a graceful
execution to the covering of
Morrison's material.
All the songs bounced off in
good fashion as Hakim's vocal
delivery hit all the ranges and
contained richness and
expression. I wonder if
Morrison's voice even remained
as consistent and clear in the old
Doors' concerts. But then again,
Morrison had more freedom
since he was just being himself,
while Hakim is in a straitjacket
from the unique role he's trying
to play.
Hakim used pauses between
songs to give dramatic recitals of
Morrison's prose. He uses such
imagery as "swallow our skulls
with our pupils" and "the ghost
ships loom as the shadow sweeps
towards us." Personally I'd
rather listen to the prose of Yoko
Ono or Muhammad Ali. Yet that
is where the elusive mystery of
the man is contained, more so
than in the lyrics of the songs.
I saw the convincing ability
that Hakim had on the audience
the middle part of "Touch
e." During Uie emotionally
lilting voice of Morrison'^
enamored singing "Now I'm
Gonna Love You til the Heaven&
Start to Rise," I could see several
women gaze at the singer as if it
M
was an intimate announcement.
Their boyfriends nudged them to
show that they were still there.
Moments later Hakim would
begin stalking around the stage
with a truculent tension, showing
the angelic-tyrant contradiction
of Morrison's presence. By the
last song "The End," a wave of
clouds curled out into the
audience locking them into
Morrison's prophetic gloom.
At the conclusion of the concert
every one had gathered in their
wondering imagination and
straightened their ties back to
reality. Although no musical
ground was broken or a new
branch of New Wave sprouted,
people appreciated it in the same
fashion that a musical is
appreciated and the actors are
praised for their role playing.
Still I had an empty feeling that
went out of the auditorium with
me; that of being present at a
pleasant dream, intoxicating and
appealing, but which evaporates
upon close inspection. To me it's
an uneasy phenomenon to see
rock and roll stagnate to a
sentimentalized state of long
running Broadway
extravaganzas. Like a new drug
use, I guess it will take years to
determine whether such ventures
will be dangerous to the health of
rock and roll. Yet the Doors
music seems to have held up best
in the elusive, ethereal light of
post-mortem adulation. Clearly
the report transmitted from the
crowd showed that they were
more than willing to go almg for
the ride. To them the Back Doors
had left a vivid conunerative
stamp for all to remember.

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, February 15, 1963
Y'all probably wondering Just
what the heck a fella like me is
doing writin' an editorial. Well, it
isn't easy, let me tell you. I
stayed up most all of last night
thinkin' of the different things I
was going to say and just didn't
know how I was going to say
them.
You see Joe — the real editor —
though I gotta say — just between
you and me the fella ain't got that
much on the ball — but I can't say
much more than that; because
it's a possibility that he might
start censoring and editing out all
the important things I have to
say, just because I give him a
little rap now and then. Anyways
Joe and me were sitting around
drinking Budweiser when he says
to me, "Eddie, you know what?"
and I wanted to know, so I said
"What?" He says "Eddie, I don't
let anybody else ever have a
chance at this editorial business,
and I'm getting pretty sick of it,
so (I put this "so" in, because it
really doesn't make too much
sense without it) why don't you
write the next editorial."
Well I mean to tell you, I was
just bustin' at the seams to take a
shot at it. I mean, I don't even go
to college, and here was Joe
askin' me to write an editorial. I
guess he finally figured out it
ain't so much book sense that
counts as common sense, as I've
been trying to get across to him
all these years.
So, anyways I stayed up all last
night and didn't even drink or go
to this party I was invited to down
on High Street, and I wrote this
thing up which starts out with
these words —
"Ladies and gentlemen of
Longwood College" and I thought
they were right nice words but
didn't know exactly what to put
after them, so I decided to read
up a little just to see what other
folks have to say.
Well, I was just huntin' around
my house, lookin' in a magazine
rack which my Dad — a very
good American, my Dad — keeps
chock full of VFW magazines and
"National Geographies" and
Guest Editorial
By EDDIE HOLLANDER
Reader's Digest, and a few other
magazines which have more
pictures than words to them.
When I found this U.S. News
World Report — "the only news
magazine devoted entirely to
national and international
affairs" and well, I mean to tell
you I got all hot inside because
that was exactly what I was
lookin' for. Something that would
let you form an opinion on
decisive issues and things.
The cover of it was really swell
— made you feel proud somehow
— and had these three fellas an'
one of them might have been
black. I'm not sure though
because he was in the
background. Anyways it had
these three fellas all done out
with U.S. gas masks and U. S. Ni-
le's and U.S. camouflage helmets
and it was really pretty because
in the background the sun was all
orange and fiery and there was
this tall shiny missile which was
probably what they called
nuclear sticking up in the
Background.
I knew right then and there that
I'd write about those guys in the
U.S. Army and how they deserve
a lot of credit for what they were
doing. So I wrote these words
"The U. S. Army is one of the best
armies in the whole world,"
which sort of made me feel good
to say 'cause my Dad was in the
Army and he fought in the Big
One which stopped most all the
evil in the world, except maybe
communism, but you couldn't
expect them to do everything.
And I figured it was up to us to
stop the rest of the evil in the
world so I wrote right after that,
these words, "The U. S. Army
will wipe communism right off
the face of the earth."
Well that was real fine I
thought, but I wanted to say
something very important and I
didn't know exactly what it was,
like when you've got an idea on
the tip of your tongue and just
can't for the life of you spit it out.
Well that's how I felt. So I figured
I'd just open it up and read what
was inside first to get some ideas
to work with and stuff.
I opened it up to page 23 which
is where the important story
about the Army was, and got a
real shocker. It had this great
picture with these fellas in the
Army all painted in green and
black and the one fella had the
muzzle of an M-16 pointed right at
you. But what was really
frightening leastwise, I think, so
was the white lettering over the
picture "Ready for Action - Or
Are They?" And then it had
written underneath the picture
these words "After a decade of
demoralization, the armed forces
have been rebuilt into the best
ever in peacetime. The challenge
now is to sustain the trend — with
a budget under attack! " Well, the
article was right dry; but I read
most of it and got the gist of what
was being said and I'll tell y'all it
wasn't none too good. Seems our
President — Mr. Ronald Reagan
— is trying to help out the U.S.
military best way he can, by
giving them money, and I think
that's damned admirable,
because I know I always give
something to those Salvation
Army folks around
Christmastime, and it ain't like a
handout - those folks really need
the money. So anyway, the
president of the U.S.A. was being
really downright heroic by giving
the U. S. Army a lot of money and
these Indian givers in the
Congress wanted to take it back,
which I think is damned awful if
you ask me. So I crossed out the
first words of my editorial and I
wrote, "The U. S. Army will wipe
conununism right off the face of
the earth if you give it a chance."
Then I wrote these words after
that, "Everybody at Longwood
College should help the U. S.
Army get better so it can wipe
communism right off the face of
the earth. Then I thought about
it for a second and tried to figure
out what Longwood could do to
help the U. S. Army get better,
and I wrote this
"Everybody should stop eating for
one day and give the money to
Mr. Ronald Reagan, President of
the U.S.A., so he can give the
money to the U. S. Army, so it can
wipe communism right off the
face of the earth." But I didn't
think it would be enough
money cause Congress might just
hog it all. So I wrote these words,
"Everybody should stop eating
for two days and work part-time
at restaurants, and give up that
communist-sociological financial
aid stuff, and give all that money
directly to the Great President of
the U.S.A., Mr. Ronald Reagan,
so he can give it to the U. S.
Army, so it can wipe conununism
off the face of the earth!" And I
mean to tell you, I was really hot
when I wrote those words 'cause I
can think of nothing worse than
the good ol' U.S.A. without a lot of
big guns and healthy young blue-
eyed boys ready to get them
nasty ol' communists. Yes sir,
and I admire Mr. Reagan for
having what Joe would call a
good "attitude" — You know
seeing things the way they are. If
you ask me, he's just like the
Lone Ranger or something, ready
to ride into town and shoot it up
with the bad guys, and that's
really American, if you ask me.
That's what Mr. Reagan is — A
True Blue American, so I wrote
these last words in my editorial,
just to sort of wrap it up,
"Everybody give everything to
the Great Mr. Reagan, and keep
America strong." Course I saw
that the last part on a U. S
Recruiting poster, but I think it
sounds pretty dam good. Joe
even said it was "symbolic",
whatever that means....
Nuclear Weapon's Designer
Really A Man Of Peace
Dr. Delmar W. Bergen does not
seem like a man viho designs
nuclear weapons.
He is a devout Christian who
speaks softly and patiently about
building relationships with the
people of other countries,
interaction among nations and
the quality of life. He eloquently
discusses the devastating effects
of a prolonged nuclear conflict.
And he hopes that the fruits of his
labor wiU never be used.
"My former boss once said that
it would be a good idea if, every
now and then, the national
leaders strtipped down to their
BVD's and felt the heat of a
nuclear explosion," he said.
Dr. Bergen, associate division
leader of the Applied Theoretical
Physics Division at Los Alamos
National Laboratory, in New
Mexico, came to FarmviUe last
Friday (Jan. 28) to attend an
orientation meeting of Longwood
College's Departmental Advisory
Committees. He has been
appointed a member of the
Natural Sciences conunittee.
He accepted the invitation
because of his association with
Dr. L. Raymond Fawcett,
director of Longwood's physics
and pre-engineering program.
Dr. Fawcett, who has spent his
past two summers as a visiting
staff member at the Los Alamos
facility, is one of 15 physicists
who are working on an
experiment to determine the
precise jield of a nuclear
explo6i(m.
Dr. Bergen, 51, who grew up on
a farm in western Kansas, is in
charge of nuclear weapons
devel(^ment at the laboratory.
He has been with Los Alamos
since 1967.
Should we be scared of nuclear
weapons?
"We should recognize the
dangers, but not so much with
weapons as with the modem
world," he said. "We need a
great deal of interaction between
the major powers (to avoid
conflict). We should be interested
in the overall quality of life, in
this country and in other
countries. If we break our
relationships with the people of
other nations, or fail to build
those relationships, the world is
in grave danger."
"We should see the foUy of
resolving our differences by
force," he added.
The best way to ease nuclear
race-related tensions, said Dr.
Bergen, is to "learn to care about
people. Relationships are built on
a one-on-one basis; n(A from
books. I think both sides (U.S.
and Soviet Union) should
recognize the folly of failure."
Both super-powers realize that
a nuclear war would be horrible
— and that, perhaps ironically, is
what prevents one from erupting,
he said. "I have no question in my
mind that that's a real deterrent.
It's buying us some time so we
can build relationships."
But, he quickly added,
"deterrence is dynamic. Today's
deterrent is not tomorrow's
deterrent. Nevertheless, we must
strive until we find a better
approach. We can't turn the clock
back."
The nature of the Soviet people
must be taken into account in
arms negotiations, according to
the nuclear physicist. "You have
to remember two things about the
Soviets: they're paranoid and
they have a losers' image of
themselves. But there are areas

dining hall.
The idea for the sign was then
proposed to the SGA Student
Senate which unanimously
passed the proposal to purchase
such a sign. And with further
assistance from Tom Nanzig the
sign was purchased from North
Star Enterprises Inc. for a
measly $3,199.80. The money
came from the Student Activities
Reserve Funds Committee which
holds leftover money from past
student government endevours.
Three thousand dollars. I'd
scream out the announcements
myself for three thousand
dollars.
Nancy Lang, Chairman of
Communications for the SGA, is
the person who determines what
is displayed by the sign and what
is not. "So far, from students I've
talked to it's been well received,"
she recently said about the sign.
"It's not as messy as the banners
and has made the dining hall look
much nicer. It reaches more
people than the daily bulletin and
it runs pretty much the same."
The only difficulty that Lang
could foresee was if too much
information is ^ed in to it. But
currently the sign is operating
well under capacity. Brad
Huddleston, a computer math
major, performs the actual
operation of the sign. If a student
wants to submit an
announcement for the sign, it
should be deUvered to the Public
Affairs Office and include the
submittors name and phone
number. Any student can submit
messages. "The sign is for all the
students and not just a selected
few," Lang stated.
Three thousand dollars. Three
Grand. You could buy a sound
system and make easy money on
mixers with three grand.
It would seem that the only real
scar still apparent from the
ordeal with the removal of
banners is the shabby way that
the administration treated the
students. Nobody from the
administration approached
anyone from the SGA and politely
asked if they could outlaw
banners. They probably did not
even give a warning and they
definitely did not ask any
students for their opinions on the
matter. And when it came time to
get money for the display sign, in
order to solve the problem that
they had created, the
administration did not offer a
dime.
Last Thursday, when I was ir
the dining hall trying to stomach
my Slater and contemplating how
many truckloads of beer three
thousands dollars could buy for
the student's fee consumption I
heard an announcement on the

Success stories are good for the

Oh, a deli restaurant!
Civilization has finally hit
iFarmville. As I leaped for joy,
visions from my younger years
breezed through my mind. The
delis of New York, with black and
white checkered linoleum floors
covered with sawdust. Those big
chrome and white formica
countertops, and salamis and
sausage hanging from the
ceiling. Loaves and loaves of
crusty rye, pumpemickle, black
{bread, ah yes . . .
I Well, back to reality. RJ's
Garden Deli in the Southgate
Shopping Center is a poor
i imitation of those wonderful New
Deli Hits Farmville
York institutions. Although the
menu has many of the familiar
items like Rubens and pastrami
and Swiss, the idea of a quality
, deli stops there. With 18 sandwich
choices on the menu, there is no
mention of the classic "design
your own" sandwich. Perhaps
I this would be too complicated for
the eight employees crunched
behind the ten foot counter.
The atmosphere is open,
spacious and very clean.
lAlthough I miss the idea of a
noisy little hole-in-the-wall, RJ's
has a pleasant environment.
Clean booths in sunny yellow and
limitation tiffany lamps abound.

students, budgeting salaries, and
lis there really life outside of
Farmville?) — which doesn't
seem to lend itself readily to her
laid back philosophies or
appearance. She's a little shy, but
she grows more comfortable with
each class period.
"My main problem is getting
used to playing the role of a
teacher after being a student for
so long." The first day of classes,
students could be heard
whispering "Who's that girl?
She's not our teacher. I..ook how
young she is!" But Ms. Knighton
insists that the closeness of age
between herself and her students
"doesn't really make me feel
uncomfortable." She shifted a
little in her chair. "Hike to try to
think of myself as what I really
am. I'm a grad student and I'm
qualified to teach these classes."
She relaxed, shifted again in her
seat, "Actually, I'm getting a big
kick out of the reactions." She
smiled. The other night I was at
the library, just doing some
reading and I had on old jeans
and a sweatshirt. This student
just couldn't beheve I was a
teacher here — 'Why' I asked
'Don't I look like a teacher?' "
She laughed.
Ms. Kmghton has noticed a
change in the students and the
school since she was here only
three years ago. "They seem to
be more outspoken — in a lot of
ways . . which is good." She
emphasized. "There seems to be
more concern with diversity and
emphasis on making changes,
linstead of concentrating on
staying the same like they used to
ido." Jackie Knighton never
intended to teach. She's still
working on her thesis,
"Downtown Revitalization," and
hopes for a career in some phase
of city planning. Her contract
here only lasts through this
semester, and she came into the
job kind of by accident. She
needed a job, and there was an
opening here in the sociology
department, "so I applied, and I
got it. Here I am." She's glad for
the opportunity — "teaching has
just opened up another door to
me." Ms. Knighton thinks that
it's necessary to try different
careers to really find the one best
suited for a person. She tends to
think the "Attitude of the Era" of
rushing into college, rushing out
of college into a job and rooting
yourself is unhealthy. "I don't see
any point in rushing into things.
That's not the way it has to be
done."
Pickwick Puppet
Theatre
The Pickwick Puppet Theatre,
widely known for combining
serious music with puppetry in
Itheatrical productions, will be
appearing in Jarman Auditorium
on February 22nd.
Since its founding in 1951 by
l^rry Berthelson, the Pickwick
Puppet Theatre has performed a
variety of musical masterpieces.
Music critics regularly extend
praise to Pickwick for its
dramatic action, superb
choreography, and appreciation
and understanding of the music
presented in each production.
Longwood is fortunate to have
the Pickwick Puppet Theatre
performing Arabian Nights. The
show begins at 8:00 p.m. in
Jarman Auditorium. Admission
is free to all Longwood students.

Men's Basketball
After a disappointing 60-48 loss
to Liberty Baptist Tuesday in
Lynchburg, the Longwood men's
basketball team hosted St. Paul's
last night, and visits the
University of Maryland-
Baltimore County Saturday night
in games this week. The 12-8
Lancers face a trip to Atlantic
Christian Monday before
wrapping up the season with
home games against Randolph-
Macon and Phillips next week.
The Lancers, who have now
lost three of their last four
games, led 26-22 at halftime of
Tuesday's game at LBC, but fell
to a hot-shooting Flames team in
the second half. Jerome Kersey
and Lonnie Lewis scored 14
points each and guard Joe Remar
added 13 in the loss.
Saturday's foe, UMBC, has
never played Longwood in
basketball although the Lancers
played in Gino's Classic at UMBC
in 1980-81. The Retrievers will be
competing in the new Mason-
Dixon Conference with Longwood
and four other schools next
season.
Co-captain Joe Remar ranks
among the top six in three
categories in the latest state
College Division statistics
rankings compiled by VASID.
Remar, Longwood's career
record holder in points, assists,
and steals, was fourth in field
goal percentage (59.6), fifth in
scoring (20.3) and sixth in assists
(5.3).
Junior forward Jerome Kersey
rated fourth in rebounding at 11.2
rebounds per game. Kersey, in
rebounding, and Remar in
scoring, have ranked among the
leaders in NCAA Div. n much of
the season.

Lady Lancers
Host W & M
Longwood's women's
basketball team, 7-13 after a 58-53
loss at Randolph-Macon last
week host William & Mary today,
Guilford Thursday and
visits VCU Friday in a busy week
of hardcourt action.
The Lady Lancers were to have
played at Liberty Baptist
Saturday afternoon, but snow
forced postponement of the
contest. The game is tentatively
set for February 26 at 3 : 00 p.m. in
Lynchburg,
Longwood outscored Randolph-
Macon 52-42 from the floor in
Tuesday's contest, but the Lady
Jackets made 16 of 28 free throws
to one of six for the Lady
Lancers. Coach Jane Miller,
however, blamed the loss on her
team's poor shooting from the
floor.
"We missed a lot of easy
shots," said Miller. "I don't
feel the game was lost at the free
throw line."
Senior Cindy Eckel moved
closer to the 1,000 point mark
with an 18-point, eight-rebound
performance. Eckel now has 977
points with six games left in the
season.
Sophomore Valerie Turner
continued her strong play with 16
points and 12 rebounds. The 5-10
eager is now averaging 6.1 points
and 5.4 rebounds. Soph Florence
Holmes continues to lead
Longwood in scoring (13.1) and
rebounding (6.5). Eckel is next at
9.3 ppg. while Robin Powell is
scoring 6.4 ppg to rank third.
Longwood will be hampered in
the William & Mary contest by
the absence of senior center
Karen Savarese who will miss at
least one game with an injured
hand.

nuclear weapons, is not the war
of the past," he continued. "Since
Worid War II, approximately 100
million people have been killed in
aggression, armed conflict and
political sugjugation."
He believes that unilateral
Man of Peace
disarmament "would create
instability and take us to war, if
it's not done properly." The
Soviet government, he said in
response to a question, should not
be trusted: "They're amoral."
Although the Soviet Union Is
superior in the area of
conventional weaponry, the U.S.
still has an edge in "general
technology."
"But the Soviets are
outspending us in research,
development, testing and
Bergen pointed out. "And they're
graduating more engineers than
we are. It's obvious the gap is
closing."
Since 1965, he said, the U.S. has
cut down the number of its
nuclear weapons by over 30
percent. And the megatonage of
our nuclear arsenal has been
reduced by slightly less than 40
percent.

SPORTS
Wrestlers Host W & L
The Longwood wrestlers will
cap off a winning season
Wednesday when the Generals
from Washington and Lee come
to Lancer Hall for a 7:30 match.
Currently 7-5-1, the Lancers are
ranked ninth in the State by the
second Virginia Collegiate
Coaches Wrestling Poll of the
season. Washington and Lee also
received votes in the poll, but was
not ranked.
In last week's action, Coach
Steve Nelson's squad tallied 39
points and took fourth in the
Capitol Collegiate Tournament
Tuesday at Howard University.
Dana Dunlap, a 167 pounder,
earned the highest Lancer
honors with a second place finish.
Another sophomore wrestler,
Steve Albeck, a 142 pounder,
received third place as did senior
Joe Bass, a 177 pounder.
Wrestling on an individual basis,
Longwood faced familiar foes
including Runner-up George
Washington and Champion
George Mason.
The Lancers will also face a
familiar opponent when they take
the mat Wednesday. Longwood
wrestled the Generals in the W
and L Tournament in Lexington
January 22 and will again expect
a big challenge.
"We'll have to really want this
match," said Nelson. "In order to
win we must wrestle with a great
deal of emotion and energy."
In the Generals tourney,
Washington and Lee placed
second behind Elon with 53.25
points and Longwood scored 52.75
points.
Wednesday night will be a
special occasion not only for the
Longwood wrestling team, but
for Senior Joe Bass. Bass, who
came to Longwood via Chowan
Junior College, has seen the
progress of a 3-12 program in
1980-81 to this year's winning
squad. Nelson, who brought Bass
to Longwood from Chowan, feels
the 177 pounder is the toughest in
his weight class in the state.
Bass, currently 18-6, is
Longwood's top career grappler
with a 46-22 mark.

to cast its armament in a
defensive mode," he noted. "By
its character, it should imply no
first-strike... I want the President
to say that we would not use
nuclear weapons first unless a
foreign power makes an overt
aggressive act, either
conventional or nuclear."
Dr. Bergen is cautiously
optimistic about the future. "I
believe that Christ is really the
answer. He changed the world
one time... I think either
Christianity will spread, world-
wise, or the world will blow
(UP)."
Will we ever be rid of nuclear
weapons?
"Yes, I think so, but I don't
know what the birth pains will be.
It won't be in my lifetime. Much
depends on the world situation.
Ultimately, it's up to you and I."

•HOT COMPETING IN SEOCND SEMESTER
Lancer Gymnastics
By JIM WINKLER
Despite the injuries and
illnesses which have plagued the
Longwood gymnastics team all
year, the Lancers earned their
second highest score of the
season (152.25). However, for the
third straight week the Lancers
efforts weren't enough to come
out on top, with William and
Mary earning a high score of
159.6.
Kelly Crepps was a standout
once again for Longwood, placing
first in vaulting (8.6), third in
beam (7.6), and second in all-
around (31.55). Gray Stabley and
Dana Hankinson also performed
well for Longwood. Stabley
finished third on bars (7.85),
matching Longwood's best score
of the year which she received in
the George Washington
Invitational. Hankinson finished
second on the floor (8.45) and
third in vaulting (8.45). She
scored 7.45 on beam but did not
participate on bars. Competing in
just three events, Hankinson
scored 24.05.
Lisa Zuraw missed several
! weeks of the season with a
shoulder injury, but recovered to
compete February 9 at Duke.
Last Monday she injured her
knee while working out. and will
miss the remainder of the season.
Longwood (8-8) travels to
Radford Saturday for the
Virginia State Meet.
Lancer Club
Drive Completed
The first organized personal
solicitation campaign of the
Longwood College Lancer Club
was completed recently with
excellent results. Thanks to the
efforts of 17 dedicated club
members, 60 businesses and
individuals have joined the
Lancer Club with $3,815 in
increases over last year and a
total of $5,685 in funds raised for
the Lancer Athletic Program.
Lancer Club President Tony
Perini, who served as chairman
of the solicitation campaign, was
extremely pleased with the
results. The club now has a
membership of 160.
"The Lancer Club has taken a
big step forward with the
successful completion of our
solicitation campaign," said
Perini. "We had an enthusiastic
group of workers and the
response from the community
was gratifying. It's good to know
that so many people recognize
the benefits to the conununity
that a solid athletic program can
generate."
The White team, captained by
Doug Martin, beat out the Blue
team, captained by Bob Burger,
Jr., in a friendly rivalry within
the campaign. The Blue team, led
by Stan Armstrong with $425 in
increases, raised $3,285 total and
$2,590 in increases. The White
team, led by Carolyn Wells with
$400 in inreases, raised $2,400
with $1,225 in increases. Fred
Hughes received special
recognition for being the hardest
worker in the campaign.
White team members
included: Martin. Armstrong, Bill
Grogan, Kitty Hubbard, Prentice
Phelps, Carolyn Hodges, Rudy
Gearheart, Steve Teague, John
Berrong, Mike Andrews, Chuck
Dowdy and Llewellyn Watson.
Members of the Blue team were:
Burger, Wells, Hughes, Parker

into the extreme slapstick that
seems to have become the
fashion of late.
The fihn's cast presents a
mixture of good and bad. On the
good side is the supporting cast
fronted by Claire Trevor as
Kate's mother who provides the
perfect contrast to Rupert's
bungling. Also on the good side is
James Coan whose refreshing
and humorous character is truly
deserving of the name Jolly. The
bad side of the cast is occupied by
Beau Bridges and Sally Field.
Bridges' acting is shallow and
fails to reach the obvious
potential of the character of
Rupert. Sally Field has yet to
return to the quality of acting she
displayed so well in "Norma
Rae." Her character seems
forced and insincere, and shows
once again that her future does
not rest in the area of comedy.
Together, Bridges and Fields are
an unlikely comic pair.
Despite its flaws, "Kiss Me
Goodbye" is a very entertaining
film. It takes a very stock, Neil
Simon-like situation and develops
it into an above average plot. The lacks in casting is made up for by
humor is of a high quality and its fresh approach to an old film
rarely becomes stagnant. What it genre.

Where The Jobs Are and Aren't
Results of Manpower Inc. Employment Outlook Survey
A thin but visible ray of hope
for the future of the nation's
employment picture has
emerged in the latest findings of
the quarterly Employment
Outlook Survey. According to the
projections of over 11,200
employers polled in 347 U.S.
cities last month, the quarter-to-
quarter drop in hiring plans has
halted, and a slight improvement
is indicated for the first quarter
(January, February, March) of
1983 when compared to survey
results of one year ago.
While slightly fewer firms plan
to hire additional workers in the
next three months than last year
at this time, the number
expecting cutbacks has dechned
markedly.
Uncertainty about the length of
the recession seems to be holding
back plans for increased staffing
in the first quarter. There seems
to be a trace of cautious optimism
in the survey figures for the first
time in the last six quarters. It is
most evident in the drop in the
number of firms expecting
workforce reductions.
Reductions must decline before
positive factors develop.
Expected reductions have
declined markedly in some key
employment sectors,
particularly in the construction
and manufacturing industries
which have been hardest-hit over
the past year.
While the number of employers
planning to expand their
workforce is the lowest seen in
six years, the number planning
no change is the highest in that
same period. It appears that the
downward slide which began a
year ago has stopped.
Regionally, the South continues
to offer the brightest future for
jobseekers with a major upswing
reported by the construction
industry. Western employers
continue to expect slightly more
cutbacks thaf) increases in staff
levels, the Midwest reports a
more favorable employment
outlook typified by a sharp drop
in the number of firms expecting
cutbacks, and the Northeast
continues to predict slow-paced
hiring activity.
Employers in the Northeast
continue to predict slow-paced
hiring activity, and some
improvement in the construction
industry which expects far fewer
cutbacks for the first quarter of
1983 than in the past five similar
quarters.
Overall, slightly more
employers in this region expect
staff reductions than plan
additions; Northeastern survey
figures lag behind those reported
nationally.
Manufacturers are cautiously
optimistic with the highest
number in the seven-year history
of the survey planning no change
in employment levels.
Manufacturers of durable goods
predict the job climate to be
similar to that of one year ago,
and manufacturers of non-
durable goods predict a slightly
improved employment outlook.
The greatest improvement in
job opportunities is reported by
the construction industry: the
number of expected cutbacks has
declined markedly.
Improvement is also noted by
wholesale and retail merchants.
Seasonal staff reductions are
reported for the first quarter as
employers return to pre-holiday
staff levels, but the cutbacks are
not expected to be as severe as
last year.
The employment outlook has
stabilized in the white-collar
sectors of services and finance,
insurance, and real estate. While
the number of job opportunities
has not increased in these
sectors, the number of employers
expecting cutbacks in the
finance, insurance and real
estate sector has slowed.
The Midwest reports a more
favorable employment outlook
than one year ago. The
improvement is typified by a
drop in the number of firms
expecting cutbacks.
This development was
particularly evident in the
manufacturing sectors with
manufacturers of durable goods
reporting survey figures which
are a great improvement over
those of one year ago. While the
same number of employers in
this sector plans to hire
additional workers during the
first quarter of 1983, significantly
fewer expect reductions.
Likewise manufacturers of non-
durable goods predict a halt in
the quarter-toKjuarter cutbacks
reported this past year.
Seasonal cutbacks by
wholesale and retail merchants
are not expected to be as great as
in the past two first quarters and
the number of employers
actually planning increases has
risen slightly.
Construction employers also
report a thin but visible ray of
hope with fewer expecting
workforce cutbacks than last
year at this time.
The white-collar sectors of
finance, insurance, and real
estate and the service industry do
not report much improvement.
The number of employers
planning expansions to staff has
diminished slightly, but the
number expecting cutt)acks has
Regionally, the South continues
to offer the brightest future for
jobseekers with a major upswing
reported by the construction
industry. In addition to the
predicted expansion in
workforce, employers in this
sector expect fewer cutbacks
than one year ago.
The highest number of job
opportunities in the South are
reported by the white-collar
sectors of services and finance,
insurance and real estate.
Neither group posts survey
figures which are an
improvement over those
recorded one year ago, but
employment levels are expected
to be stable.
Like the national trend,
Southern wholesale and retail
merchants predict slow-paced
hiring activity, but the seasonal
staff reductions are expected to
be less severe than in previous
first quarters.
Southern employers in the
public administration sector are
cautiously optimistic in their
hiring plans with a high number
planning no change in staff
levels.
While Western employers
continue to expect slightly more
cutbacks than increases in staff
levels, the construction industry
and manufacturers of non-
durable goods predict an
improved job climate. A major
upswing is predicted by
construction employers planning
to expand staff size while the
number expecting reductions has
dropped markedly. Likewise,
cutbacks are expected to slow in
the non-durable goods
manufacturing sector and hiring
is expected to be similar to that of
one year ago.
Manufacturers of durable
goods are not as optimistic with
slightly more employers
expecting cutbacks as plan staff
increases. Last year at this time,
the reverse was reported.

Beyond The Score

The crowd is restless and hot.
They came to see some good ball
playing and to have a good time.
They're not expecting a whole lot,
they just want their team to win.
Some are friends, some are
relatives, some skipped a big
party and others a cram session
in botany to come and see their
team win. They're out there,
they're anticipating, and they're
betting, betting on the winner.
They don't all like you or your
team, but some of them love you
like a son or daughter. They're
more than electric they're atomic
and they're ready to explode into
a howl of excitement, praise, and
deference. You know what
they're looking for and you know
you're not an actor, not a
gladiator. You're a basketball
player and it's time to play ball;
that's all you know. They're just
the batteries that get you
charged, everything else is you,
you and a hardwood floor, a glass
board, and an orange rim, the
ultimate truth.
"Every game's like an NBA
championship," he said rather
candidly but with an air of
complete confidence. At 5'8" 150
pounds, Frank Tennyson is
undoubtedly the runt of the litter.
But he's bigger than he looks.
"He likes to say he's 5'10" but
he's really 5'8" ..." says assistant
coach Earnest Neal with a
chuckle. "His teammates see
him as being a spark plug or a
motivational force for them. He's
quicker than all the other players
on the ball club and has a lot of
espirit de corps."
Espirit de corps not only lives
within Frank Tennyson, but on
the walls of his fifth floor Frazier
room. The moment you walk in
you feel like you just stepped into
the basketball hall of fame. The
walls are papered with Sports
Illustrated shots of all the big
names from Dr. J to Christine
Brinkley. And off towards the
window an interesting basketball
collage is constructed around the
words "The Best" and "A Little
Child Shall Lead Them."
"I think it's an advantage,"
says Tennyson concerning his
physical stature. He sits relaxed
on his bed and is dressed in cotton
sweats. He talks with self-
assurance. "I can do a lot of
things the bigger players can't."
From the Boys Club of
Richmond at age five to the
National Youth Games for ages
fifteen and under through
Huguenot High School and
Highland Springs High School to
Longwood College, Tennyson has
been proving on the court that he
can do things that bigger players
can't do. "You heard of
Henderson... he plays for the
Celtics; he went to Huguenot
High School," says Tennyson
with a smile and a definite air of
pride.
An open young man of eighteen
years with a faint touch of
shyness, Tennyson clearly
desires the recognition he
deserves. But he isn't a starter
for the Lancers and not likely to
be a starter in the foreseeable
future.
"He is by nature an aggressive
player," admits coach Neal
bluntly, "but he had some
problems early in the season... he
wasn't quite sure what he was
doing."
Coming from being a high
school superstar where he could
do just about anything he wanted
on the court into a college
program where the system is
totally different, Tennyson
naturally had some adjustment
problems. "It's more prestigious
to start," he explains gazing at
the floor thinking, being careful
to convey the right meaning.
"Starting means a lot but it
doesn't mean everything. I'm not
hung up over this starting thing."
Then came the "freshman
blues." The I'm not hungry, I
can't do anything right, freshman
syndrome. The coaches taking
him aside for one of their
"private talks," the first tests
coming back a little less than par,
and worst of all, the girls don't
seem to have any taste.
It's that time in every
freshman's life when the whole
world seems to be falling into

little bitsy pieces. For a
basketball player it's even worse,
concentration is a must. "Doing
bad in basketball carries over
into my social life," explains
Tennyson. "It got so I couldn't
sleep and I'd stay up all night
reading and studying." He
thought of hanging it up and
going home.
Tennyson is a well-rounded,
college-caliber point guard with a
sincere interest in academic
pursuit. He realizes that
professional athletics is probably
not in his future. But inside the
Lancer's littlest point guard
burns a bonfire.
He's a high energy player that
actively responds to Longwood
fans waving their blue and white
pompons from way back in the
stands.
Roughing the early season,
freshman white waters,
Tennyson has come back with a
ferocious intensity that could well
shatter the backboard. "I never
in my life quit anything I
started... I'm kind of an emotional
person," he explains in the calm
of his dorm room on a snowy
afternoon. But what about on the
court? Surely there must be some
reason why George Mason, East
Tennessee State University, and
Longwood College actively
recruited Tennyson for their
programs.
"College doesn't dictate that
you can't do different things,"
says Tennyson dryly, almost
accusingly. He's looking for some
latitude and as much playing
time as possible, just like
everyone else on the team.
Not being a starter, he reahzes
many of the advantages of
waiting on the bench to play.
"You can see the mistakes
they're making on the court and
you know when you go in you're
not going to make that one," he
says with a chuckle. "There's a
lot more pressure to do well."
He's been there. He's been on
the bench intently watching the
game like a pro scout, looking for
mistakes, the fouls, anticipating
going in at any moment. He
knows he's got to know what's
going on on the court all the time,
just like the coach. He feels the
tension grow inside his guts when
Joe Remar has got his third foul
in the first half and head coach
Cal Luther calls for him.
Now it's his turn to play ball.
He's in the game and the crowd
knows it. They're looking at him
with scrutinizing eyes. ..they
want to win. In his mind the
crowd melts away like jello in the
hot sun, they're not there, he
can't let them be. He feels the
smoothness of the ball on his
fingertips as he dribbles up the
court eluding a 6'8" guard with
capped teeth and getting off a
clean pass to Jerome Kersey who
slams it home.
The crowd erupts into a wild
frenzy of excitement. They're his
Tennyson husties for a block.
friends for now and he knows it.
But he also knows how fragile
that friendship can be not only as
a non-starter who can't afford
many mistakes but as a favor-
ite of the whimisical fans. He
knows they're unreliable and will
change colors like a kaleidoscope
two minutes later when a not so
fine pass leads to a turnover and
a hush sweeps through the
gymnasium like a forest fire in
the Sierra Mountains. "You
should have been there" is all he
can think.
A business management major
with his eye on insurance,
Tennyson knows the value of
security. "I have the same
attitude at practice as during the
game," he says thoughtfully. He
views practice as the insurance
policy for a good game. "You
have a good practice, you have a
good game."
And practice he does. He
practices with the same intensity
as he plays. "He comes early and
leaves late," states coach Neal
matter-of-factly.
Frank Tennyson looks forward
to increased playing time in his
future years at Longwood but is
open to the prospect of a better
qualified point guard than him-
self coming along to fill the
sneakers of senior Joe Remar.
"If he's doing things we need for
the team, then he should be the
one that's playing," he says
dryly, gazing at his basketball
wallpaper.
He may not be a starter for the
Longwood Lancers, but Frank
Tennyson certainly feels part of
the team. Whether dashing out on
the court at that crucial pressure
point in the game or squating
down in his super low, free throw
stance, Tennyson's mind is on
nothing but rhythm and form,
rhythm and form. He may not be
a Ralph Sampson as an
individual basketball player, but
when he's on the court his mind's
on playing ball and playing it
well.
Meanwhile, the fans in the
backdrop are thinking win.

BUBA-The Non-Alcoholic
Tuesday, February 22, 1983 THE ROTUNDA ^^8^ 3
For some people a fraternity
is the epitome — the apotheosis
of college life. Friends that are
as frequent as emptied beer
cans, wonderfully insane
inductions (recall the raw egg
yolk which had to be passed from
mouth to mouth by initiates while
laying on a tile floor with their
hands tied behind their backs)
and beautiful sorority women
whose dearest wishes are
successful ski trips which invoke
a nostalgia generally reserved
for dead ancestors; flashy toga
parties and wild intoxicated runs
on an unsuspecting town — what
can beat the ultimate hedonistic
throw-your-mind-to-the-wind
atmosphere of a true blue
collegiate fraternity? Another
fraternity of course. To be
specific, BUBA fraternity, right
here at Longwood College.
BUBA (beta upsilon beta
alpha) is the infrequent exception
to the rule. Fraternity pour la
fraternity. Esprit de corps — 1 os
hermanos united in the common
cause of los hermanos on first
floor Tabb dormitory, room 107.
That is their "headquarters",
where the Fraternity's
spokesman, David Walton,
described BUBA's creation and
evolution.
"It started as a joke and just
got carried away . . . carried
Frat
away right into reality. We were
just a bunch of fellows that
wanted to join a fraternity but
wouldn't or couldn't because
first, it was too expensive and
second, none of us were into
partying. BUBA, for us, stands
for Brothers United By the
Annointed. Don't get us wrong,
it's not a heavy religious
fraternity, we all share a
common faith though. Our motto
is 'fratres conociatus ad diem —
brothers united by God."
In their bathroom are the
remnants of their last party —
eight cartons of emptied
mountain dew and pepsi bottles.
"The closest thing we come to a
hangover is a bad aftertaste . . .
we just think there are better
things a frat can do besides
drinking itself under a table or
hugging the toilet bowls."
Although such a unique concept
as a non-drinking, non-hazing
fraternity should have been
eagerly accepted by Longwood's
administrators, it wasn't.
"At first it was really difficult.
Bob Jensen vice president of the
interfratemity council took the
idea to Dean Ogrosky and he
rejected it. He said that there
were only 800 men at Longwood
and of these only about 10 per
cent joined fraternities. Since
there were already five
fraternities on campus he felt
that another one would be
unnecessary . . . sort of like over
kill I guess. Anyways after
hearing his verdict we decided to
go to Phyllis Mable (Vice
President of Student Affairs) who
has the last say in such matters
and she was great. She accepted
the idea right off. After that it
was just a matter of drawing up a
constitution and recruiting new
members."
The fraternity has done
relatively well in recniitement
considering Longwood's drink-a-
thon attitude. Four new members
were inducted February 20 and
they are looking for more
initiates as soon as BUBA
becomes better known.
"It's just a matter of time . . .
people will see what we have to
offer — things like an active
intramural sports program,
working with charities such as
the United Hunger Fund, even
dances where, if somebody
wants, they can bring a alcohol,
but the fraternity isn't going to
pay for beer or anything."
Another item which may
attract new members in an age of
tight wallets and squeaking
budgets is their fee, which by
David Kramer Speaks On
U,S,-West German Relations
A slogan on walls in West
Germany reads, "Why do the
Americans want to defend us to
death?"
That characterizes the attitude
of many West Germans toward
the United States, Professor
David Kramer, Prorektor of the
College of Social Work and Social
Work Education in West Berlin,
told a Longwood audience on
February 10.
Kramer, whose institution
entered into a partnership
agreement with Longwood last
November, spent two days on the
Longwood campus, discussing
possible exchanges with faculty
and administrators. He gave a
lecture in Wygal on West
German-American relations and
the rise of alternative political
ideologies in Germany.
Dr. Michael Haltzel,
Longwood's vice-president for
academic affairs, noted that the
agreement "is starting to bear
fruit. It has a great deal of
potential for the faculty and,
ultimately, for the students of
Longwood College" Kramer's
position as Prorektor is the
equivalent of Haltzel's post.
"The relationship (between
U.S. and Germany) is difficult to
define," said Kramer, a native
American and a political
scientist. "The simple fact of the
matter is that we established
West Germany. They feel a great
deal of gratitude but also a great
deal of resentment. Now, their
gratefulness has been replaced
by a critical attitude."
"We can't expect Germans to
continue to be devoted disciples
of the United States," he added.
"They have to find their own
identity."
Kramer noted that inflation
"destroyed" Germany's
economic system after World
War II — the rate of exchange
was American cigarettes. "West
Germany was shaky at first but
quickly developed, with the aid of
the Marshall Plan, one of the best
economies in the world. Their
recovery was mind-boggling; I
know Germans who can
remember hunger. They created
what's been called 'the economic
miracle.' "
Although the United States is
still a powerful nation, said
Kramer, it is not as powerful as it
once was, and this shift affects
U.S. relations with West
Germany and all of Europe. Two
major issues separating the
United States and Europe are the
deployment of medium-range
U.S. missiles and the Siberian
natural gas pipeline, he said.
"An overwhelming majority of
Germans don't want medium-
range American missiles, which
they originally requested,"
pointed out Kramer. ""The debate
on this issue has become bizarre
in Germany. They criticize the
Americans but not the Soviets,
ironically ... I don't think it's in
our interest, or their interest, to
defend them (Germans) against -
will.
that the U.S. would defend their
continent regardless of the
consequences, Kramer said.
"The Germans started thinking
that if the Russians bombed, let's
say, Frankfurt, then the United
States would bomb Moscow and
the Russians would retaliate by
bombing New York. Germans
don't think that an American
President would trade New York
for Frankfurt."
West Germany, he said, is
strategically important because
of its location. "It's the dividing
line between East and West. The
Soviet Union would have to come
through Germany to get at
Europe. If West Germany
became pro-Soviet, it would alter
the global power situation. That's
not likely now, but it's possible
sometime in the future."
Unfortunately, the
disintegration of the NATO
alliance has hurt that
organization's chances for a
worthwhile arms agreement with
the Soviets, Kramer claimed.
"I think the NATO alliance is in
the process of falling apart. And
I'm not the only person who
thinks so. Henry Kissinger thinks
so, too . . . Though the U.S. is
spending more money on
defense, I think it's actually less
secure, because of the
fragmentation of NATO nations."
West German fears over the
arms race, and the obvious
impact of a nuclear conflict, have
led to the rise of the Alternative
Party, sometimes known as the
SENIORS!

"Greens," he said. If the March 6
national elections were held
today, this left-wing party —
which opposes all forms of
nuclear weapons — would
probably control Parliament,
predicted Kramer.
Since the late 1960s, he
continued, young Germans have
voted for left-wing candidates, a
departure from the past when
young people voted like the rest
of the country. About 30 per cent
of young voters now support the
Alternative Party. "This has

Fred Speaks Out- And Makes
A Request Or Two
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
Any of you who have ventured
into downtown Farmville in
recent days are probably aware
that Walt Disney's "Peter Pan"
is now showing at the State
Theatre. A few of you (a very
select few, I'm sure) may even be
anxiously waiting to read what I
have to say about it. To that
select few, I apologize. I have
absolutely nothing to say about
"Peter Pan." In fact, I have
never seen the film myself.
Whenever I think about
reviewing a film like "Peter
Pan" (the sort that have become
national institutions) I am
engulfed by an overwhelming
wave of anxiety and paranoia.
Suppose I saw the film and didn't
like it; how could I give it a bad
review and still maintain a sense
of personal safety. If I saw the
film and liked it, there would be
those who would doubt my
sincerity and say that I was
bending to social pressure.
Instead, I will yield to a social
pressure of a different kind and
simply not review it.
Part of my problem is that I do
not have something that every
film critic needs: a good idea of
what his readers like and dislike
in movies. I never know what the
basic reaction to any of my
reviews will be. If I had this
foresight, I would feel more
secure in what I review and know
who would hate and who would
applaud my opinion.
With this sentiment, I now call
on you, the students of Longwood
College, to voice your opinion in
the area of cinematic art. What is
the best film you have seen?
What is the worst film you have
ever seen? Take the time to write
down a list of your favorite and
least favorite movies (limit
yourself to ten of each, please). It
is my aim to compile a list of
Longwood's favorite films and
also the ones you wouldn't take
your worst enemy to see. I am
convinced that everyone has an
opinion on this subject; everyone
has been moved by a particular
film, either to tears or to the
bathroom. Therefore, I expect an
overwhelming response from
both students and faculty (this
means you. Dr. Greenwood). The
final list will then be compared
with my own list, just so you can
see how your opinion matches
with mine. Send your list to me,
Fred Campbell, Box 97, the
Rotunda, Box 1133, or give it to
any member of the Rotunda staff.
Don't forget to sign your name. I
appreciate and anxiously await
your response.

politics," said Kramer.
West Germany also
experienced a "baby boom" after
World War II; between 1958 and
1967, one million children were
bom annually, twice the normal
rate. "Nobody knows exactly
what to do with these young -
people," he said. "They think
their economic future is bleak.
They're much more pessimistic
than young Americans."
Since the German economy
stopped growing in the late 1970s,
Kramer said, the country is
increasingly unable to support its
welfare state ("It's hardly
possible to stub your toe without
someone coming to lick your
wounds at government expense,"
he laughed).
"They're not just upset and
uncertain over missiles. They're
upset and uncertain about
everything. If there was a war in
the Middle East, they'd be cold in
two months. The United States
has the least advanced welfare
state of any capitalist country
and we can't afford it — imagine
the problems the Europeans are
facing."
The United States should
reassess its relationship with
Europe and, in the future, be
more candid about its intentions,
said Kramer.
"We Americans have to face
some very difficult decisions
about what our (European) inte-
rests are," he noted. "We should
determine who our allies are and
who isn't our allies. We're not
helping ourselves by saying we'll
come to the aid of Europe; they
simply don't believe it anymore.
We should tell the West German:
do you want a mutual partnership
or accommodation with the
Soviet Union? There are
definitely risks to this, but there
are risks to deluding ourselves."
"We should put the Europeans
to the test," he added. "I think
they'll meet the test." ^ *

THE ROTUNDA
Pages
I i
By Becky Dunk
Any newspaper — be it a major
one such as The Washington Post
or a small bi-weekly like the
Farmvllle Herald — should be
compiled so as to meet the needs
of the community it serves.
Likewise, a college newspaper
should adequately serve the
conununity it caters to. Why
then, does the Longwood College
paper, The Rotunda, not meet the
expectations of the student body?
I delved deeper into the copy than
my peers had. What were my
sentiments? I had to agree with
the others — it was pretty bad.
I did think the front page looked
good until I reached page 3. Why
was an article about Dr. David
Kramer, dean of a college in West
Berlin, relegated to the inner
pages? After all, how often do
people from Germany visit
Longwood?
The "Sorority Informal Rush
A look at the February 8, 1983 Schedule" on page 4 was nice if
issue of The Rotunda will help to one is interested, but by the time
justify my complaint.
First of all, let me support my
statement that students aren't
happy with the paper. At lunch
yesterday, I was nominated by
my friends to go and gather up
several copies of the paper so we
could all read it. As I passed
through the Rotunda, I noticed
that very few people were even
casually glancing at the paper.
Could it be that bad, I wondered?
Several other copies cluttered the
floor and the glass cabinets lining
the Rotunda walls.
I grabbed four papers and
weaved my way back through the
crowd which was gathering for
lunch. I threw the papers on the
table where we were sitting and
watched as several eager readers
picked up a copy. The response
among the other seven people at
the table was quite similar —
each one quickly leafed through
the issue, said "boring," or
"nothing I want to read," and
tossed it back down.
Being interested in journalism.
the paper came out, Rush was
half over. Anyone who really
cared probably saw the flyers
that were posted on every wall,
pole, and window all over
campus. Was the schedule
merely a space filler?
If I hadn't read the Nestle's
article in the last issue of The
Rotunda I never would have
understood "Nestle's Reply" on
page 7. An editor's note with a
brief explanation would have
been appropriate.
The article on page 8 dealing
with the Miss Longwood Pageant
was also worthy of the front page.
Of the students I talked to, more
are interested in the Miss
Longwood Pageant than in the
Departmental Advisory
Committees.
The sports pages this week
should have been an
embarrassment to the editor. The
title of the first article, "Lancers
Split With Trojans — Face
Randolph-Macon Thursday,
Away," was outdated. That's last
week's article! On page 11 we
read that Randolph-Macon beat
Longwood.
This happens several other
times with women's basketball,
gynuiastics, and wrestling. One
wrestling article says we host
Hampden-Sydney Wednesday,
while another article on the next
page boasts of the Lancer's
victory over Hampden-Sydney.
Which do we brieve? With
minimal effort, these articles
could have been combined or at
least updated. (Incidentally, the
photo on page 11 which was
credited to Dennis Cooper was
taken by Hoke Currie.)
There are more spelling and
granunatical errors in this paper
than in one Sunday issue of The
Washington Post. Is it that hard
to find someone to proofread each
issue?
Finally, why, if this is a student
paper, aren't all the students who
write articles given bylines? And
in the cases where articles come
from Public Affairs, Sports
Information, or some other
office, aren't they worthy of a
little credit?
A student newspaper should not
be a one-man effort; the editor-
in-chief shouldn't be expected to
write all the articles, do the
layout, and proofread the copy by
himself. If more students would
get off their apathetic tails and
contribute to The Rotunda,
maybe Longwood would have a
more attractive, informative
newspaper than the one we are
presently faced with.

To The Editor,
I was very disappointed with
your "Deli Hits Farmville"
article. I have found the food to
be very delicious!
I got the "Great Garden" in
pocket wheat bread, and it was
superb! It was stuffed full of
melted provolone and cheddar
cheese, cucumbers, lettuce,
tomatoes, olives, spinach,
carrots, bell peppers, oil,
vinegar, spices, and "alfalfa"
sprouts not "alpha" sprouts.
Another time I went, I got the
roast beef in pocket wheat bread
stuffed full of yununy veggies,
and it was just as delicious!
^ To read this article and have
you condemn the restaurant on
the first time you try it is
appalling. Remember the first
time you tried beer? And didn't
you give it a second chance?
Maybe you should send
someone else on your staff to try
R.J.'s — get a second opinion.
(The guy that ate with the
reporter liked his meal. Why not
have more input from him?)
Many people who have read
your article probably won't try
R.J.'s because you have cut it
down, and I don't feel that you
gave R.J.'s a fair chance.
I also considered it very rude to
put an advertisement of R.J.'s
next to a downgrading article.
They explicitly say that they
don't claim to be a New York deli,
but you cut them down because
they're not.
Why does (almost) every
article printed in the Rotunda
down whatever your are writing?
News doesn't always have to be
bad!

Why is it that only Home
Economics majors seem to get
ridiculed and harassed for their
major? You never hear of anyone
walking up to a student majoring
in chemistry and say, "Why? So
you can play around with
testubes and chemicals the rest
of your life?", or to an accounting
major and say, "What are you
going to do? Add and subtract for
a living?"
Remarks such as these are
what Home Ec. majors have to
live with everytime they mention
their major; the pressure doesn't
stop here. It carries over
whenever you encounter people
who know your major. They jeer
and chant "Suzy Homemaker,
Suzy Homemaker, Suzy, Suzy,
Suzy" until you actually want to
use a dust pan and broom ... but
not for sweeping!
It is extremely frustrating, to
say the least, to be at a party, at
work, church, or home, or
visiting and have people make
comments such as: "Oh, are you
going to be a teacher . . .or "a
professional housewife?" . . . "or
cook and sew the rest of your
life?" Or one of my favorites, "So
you can hang your degree on the
wall and dust it off every day!"
Upon first entering the career
of Home Ec, such statements
would almost immediately make
me react in a defensive manner.
Now, however, I can only pity
such people for their ignorance.
Many companies hire Home
Economics majors but they do
not publicize it. Some of these
major companies are Vepco,
C&P, A. H. Robins, Phillip
Morris, Reynolds Metal, Allied
Chemicals, General Electric, and
Proctor & Gamble. The true title
of Home Ec. is concealed from
the public. Instead, companies
tend to list them under titles such
as: Public Affairs Director,
Communications Consultant,
Consumer Information
Specialist, Marketing Manager,
Account Executive, Energy
Specialist, Fashion Consultant,
Merchandising Evaluation
Engineer, and Nutrition
Coordinator.
Facts and information
explaining the growth and
development of Home Economics
are available through the media.
It's all there. The jobs are varied.
To mention a few: Market
Service Assistant,
Manufacturer's Representative,
Production Development
Coordinator, Loan Counselor,
Legislative Assistant, Consumer
Services of TV, Auditor for
I.R.S., Film Producer, Food
Production Manager, and the Ust
goes on. Home Economics covers
areas such as Family and Child
Development, Nutrition, Fashion
Merchandising, Consumer
Affairs, Communications and
Business.
These job possibilities should
be considered the next time
people come across a Home Ec.
major, rather than admit to their
own naivety. The field of Home
Ec. has grown vastly. Presently,
it is one of the best fields to get
involved in. People from other
majors often find themselves in
Home Ec. positions, among these
are business majors. Once in
these positions, they find
themselves lacking in the skills
required of Home Ec. majors.
This is just a fraction of the
information about Home
Economics. Home Ec. majors
are in great demand. The stereo-
typed idea of Home Ec. can go
straight down the drain . . . and
Suzy too.

teacher applicants in all fields
from Kindergarten through
College to fill over five hundred
teaching vacancies both at home

Since 1968, our organization has
been finding vacancies and
locating teachers both in foreign
countries and in all fifty states.
We possess hundreds of current
openings and have all the
information as to scholarships,
grants, and fellowships.
The principle problem with
first year teachers is where to
find the jobs!
Since College Newspapers are

Women Golfers to
Open Season
Cagers to Finish at Home
The Longwood women's golf
team will open its 1983 Spring
season on February 25 in the Troy
State Invitational. The
invitational will include twenty
schools, with only three from
Division II — Troy State, Weber
State and Longwood.
Coach Barbara Smith feels that
South Carolina, Ohio St., North
Carolina and Georgia are the top
four schools in the invitational.
"Weber State won the Division II
Nationals last year and Troy
State finished second, so both
teams could prove tough," said
Coach Smith. Longwood finished
third in the National tournament
last year.
Coach Smith feels that All-
American Robin Andrews has the
chance to have her finest season.
Last fall in the James Madison
Invitational, Andrews won the
individual title with a 40-79 - 119.
Sue Morgan also performed well
in the fall. Sue improved greatly
as the season progressed, scoring
in the 70's several times. Lanie
Gerken also played well in the
fall and will join Morgan and
Andrews in the top three
positions for the Lancers. Lanie
was Longwood's top finisher in
the North Carolina State
Invitational.
The remaining three positions
for the Lancers will be
determined in the practice round
at Troy State. The Troy St.
Invitational will serve as practice
as well as competition, as the
Lancers have not practiced as a
team since November.
The Lancers will host Marshall
and William and Mary in the
Longwood Invitational March 12-
13.
Coach Barbara Smith, who has
led Longwood to six state titles, is
hoping the Lancers wiU improve
as the season progresses. "We
want to do the best we possibly
can and try to improve our scores
from the fall." Longwood will
have everyone but Donna Turner
returning from its fall season.
Longwood's men's basketball
team, 13-9 after splitting two
games last week, closes out its
season at home. After visiting
Atlantic Christian Monday night,
the Lancers entertain 16th
ranked Randolph-Macon
Wednesday night at 8:00 and end
the season Saturday night hosting
PhiUips (MS).
Two of Longwood's all-time top
cagers, seniors Joe Remar and
Ron Orr, will be closing out their
careers Saturday. Kemar and
Orr rank 1-2 among career
scorers in Lancer basketball
history.
Longwood journeyed to
Maryland Baltimore County
Saturday night and came away
with an 80-78 loss in overtime.
Remar tossed in 23 points and
had 10 assists while Orr scored 26
points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
The Lancers were hampered by
the four problems of junior
Jerome Kersey who picked up his
fourth foul in the first half and
fouled out with 4:21 to go in
regulation. Kersey finished with
eight points and eight rebounds.
Remar helped send the game
into overtime by hitting four free
throws in the last five minutes.
UMBC missed a shot with two
seconds left in regulation and the
score tied 72-72. The Retrievers
got a bucket with six seconds to
go in overtime to take the win.
Longwood had beaten St.
Paul's last Monday 89-74 with 20
points from Remar, 19 from Orr
and 19 points, 16 rebounds from
Kersey.
Wednesday's game with
Randolph-Macon will give the
Lancers a chance for revenge
after an 82-66 loss to the Jackets
February 3. Coach Hal Nunally's
team, which thrashed Liberty
Baptist 73-51 Saturday, will be
making its first appearance in
Lancer Hall where Longwood has
a 254 record over three years.
Wednesday night will mark the
first regular season
doubleheader for Longwood's
men's and women's basketball
teams. Women's teams from
Randolph-Macon and Longwood
will play at 6:00 and men's teams
from the two schools square-off
at 8:00.
The doubleheader will also
feature Lancer Club night.
Longwood's fund-raising
organization for athletics, the
Lancer Club, will be recognized
at the twinbill and there will be a
special hospitality room for
Lancer Club members and their
guests between the two games
and at halftime of the men's
contest.
Also at halftime of the men's
game, regional coaches of the
year Rich Posipanko (soccer)
and Buddy Bolding (baseball)
will be recognized for their
accomplishments.
For four years seniors Joe
Remar and Ron Orr have been
starters on the Longwood
basketball team. During that
time the Lancers have compiled
a record of 75-29. Remar (1,453)
and Orr (1,292) are the top two
scorers in the college's seven-
year men's basketball history.
Remar, a co-captain this
season, is Longwood's career
leader in points, assists (514) and
steals (194). Orr has 616 rebounds
to go with his 1,000-plus points.
The duo from Elizabeth, New
Jersey have been vital cogs in
Longwood's emergence from a
Division III power to Division II.
Saturday night when the
Lancers host Phillips, Remar and
Orr will play their final college
game.

For the fourth consecutive
week the Longwood gymnastics
team has improved its
performance. Saturday the
Lancers turned in their highest
score of the year (158.50), and
finished fourth in the Virginia
State Meet held at Radford.
Kelly Crepps and Dayna
Hankinson were Longwood
standouts once again. Crepps
finished second in vaulting (8.6),
third on floor (8.6) and fifth in all-

finished fourth on beam (8.45)
and tied teanmiate Gray Stabley

The Longwood final team score
was not the only season high for
the Lancers. Crepps set the
season high in both bars and all-
around, while Hankins set the
season high on beam. Despite the
fourth place finish the Lancers
performed well.
"We performed a lot better
than in the past and scored
higher," Coach Ruth Budd said.
"We did much better on bars, but
still had our problems on beam."

basketball team, 7-16 after three
losses last week, hosts Chowan
Monday, Randolph-Macon
Wednesday at 6 p.m., and visits
Liberty Baptist Saturday
afternoon to close out its regular
season play. Forward Cindy
Eckel scored her 1000th career
point Friday in a 66-57 loss to
VCU (see related story, this
page).
Eckel and fellow seniors Karen
Savarese and Barbara DeGraff
may be making their final home
appearances Wednesday night
against R-MC. Longwood is one
of six teams in contention for a
spot in the VAL\W Division II
Final Four March 4-5 at
Longwood.
In action last week, the Lady
Lancers fell to William and Mary
65-62 Tuesday night despite
coming b6ck from a 19 point
deficit to within two points late in
the game. Thursday, visiting
Guilford took an 85-69 win from
the team. Friday night,
Longwood fell victim to VCU on
the road.
Longwood's most consistent
player last week was sophomore
Valerie Turner. Turner had 13
points and seven rebounds
Tuesday, 24 points and 13
rebounds Thursday, and 10 points
and seven rebounds Friday.
While Eckel scored 13 against
Guilford, leading scorer Florence

Albeck Leads Wrestlers
with Third Place Finish
Sophomore captain Steve
Albeclc became the first wrestler
in Longwood history to place in a
regional tournament over the
week end as the 142-pounder
placed third in the NCAA II
Eastern Regional Tournament at
the University of Pittsburgh-
Johnstown.
Albeck lost his first match to
the No. 2 seed and then proceeded
to win the next three (two by
pins) to finish third in his weight
class. The Lancer grappler was
one of three individuals
considered for a spot in the
national tournament, but the
tournament coaches voted to
send a 118-pounder instead.
"I'm very proud of Steve," said
Longwood Coach Steve Nelson of
Albeck. "He wrestled well and I
felt he should have gotten a berth
in nationals." Albeck upped his
final record to 21-9-1.
Albeck was one of six
Longwood grapplers to compete
in the tournament which was won
by Morgan State with 79^4 points.
The Lancers totaled 9^^ points to
place nth out of 13 teams
entered.
Also competing for Longwood

Longwood Rugby
LC Ruggers Fall to VMI in Opening Match
ByRoUsonSchotta
The Longwood Rugby Club
played its first match of the '83
season against a tough
Virginia Military squad
Saturday at home. The
Cadets' relentless attack kept
the LC ruggers on defense for
much of the game, with
Longwood losing 12-0.
VMI was here to avenge a
14-13 loss last year, and their
players were pumped up for
the rematch. The Cadets used
their size and strength
advantage to power their way
to a 9-0 halftime lead. Despite
solid tackling from
Longwood's forwards and a
strong offensive effort from
outside wing Tod Haymans,
Longwood was unable to keep
VMI from penetrating deep
into LC territory.
The most costly losses of the
game for Longwood were of
Bill Galloway and Wayne
Busch, who were both put out
of action with head injuries
early in the first half. Both are
expected to be sidelined for
much of the season.
Injuries aside, the LC
ruggers could not be too
dissapointed with the VMI
loss. With a large number of
new players, the team did well
in holding a well-disciplined
VMI club to twelve points.
VMI also won the 'B' side
game, defeating Longwood 4-
0. Many players from LC's 'A'
side played in the game, as
well as a couple of volunteers
from the sidelines as the team
was short-handed. Strong
hitting from the entire squad
kept the Cadets' game
unorganized throughout both
halves of play.
The Longwood Rugby team
is still scheduling games for
the spring schedule, but
scheduled^opponents include
VCU, James Madison, and
Hampden Sydney. Home
matches are held at the
President's field and will be
announced.

David Willis to Appear
Magician-comedian David

The young performer began his
unique career on the streets of
Washington D.C. until he became
such a success that police asked
him to stop. The huge crowds that
he attracted were blocking
traffic.
Although Willis began with an
interest primarily in magic, his
talent for sleight-of-hand was
soon equaled with a good sense of
humor, a quick wit, and great

It is September at Longwood
near the beginning of fall
semester and the weather has a
humid stuffy tinge. It is hot in the
afternoon and Orlando Turner's
legs are aching. He does not know
how far he has run. The dull

there are chants and catcalls

"Not everybody can do it, you
have to want it; want it bad. It

It is cooler now, late February

afternoon in September are
replaced with a comfortable
leather jacket and Nikes. He is

screaming, of small chores and
late night studying and doing
everything and more to make
himself an Omega man, a
brother....
Mike Mcroy and Troy Littles
are in a room talking about the
basketball game that is playing
on the television set. Gary
Thomhill is pressing ice to his
biceps, sitting in a small flower
patterned loveseat near the left
hand comer of the room. The ice
he hopes will numb his upper
arm. Numb it enough so that he
won't feel the brand - the red hot
Omega brand. It could have been
made for a cow puncher - a long
metal stem with the Grecian
Omega letter twirled tangent on
the end, like an inverted
horseshoe. The other brothers
have told him about the brand,
how it hurt for days worse than a
tetanus shot - like a bullet wound -
hot and piercing. The ice is
beginning to melt, it trickles,
down his arm. He wishes it
wouldn't melt so fast. An Omega
brother sees that Gary is
ready. He picks up the brand and
carries it into the room where
Gary is sitting. Gary holds up his
sleeve with his left hand.
Close your eyes... its going to
hurt. He keeps them open. He
thinks the brand looks cool, like a
neon sign, a little red glow. It
comes closer. He can feel the
heat of the iron now. Just do it
man - a low sizzling sound. The
Omega is christened in fire and
flesh. It smells. But he doesn't
flinch, he doesn't scream.
"That was about a year and 6
months ago" says Gary "It didnt
hurt half as bad as the brothers
said it would. They were just
bullshitting, to get me scared."
In Dalany Brown's rented
apartment on the first floor of
that candy-colored house across
the street from Frazer
dormitory, a small Zenith black
and white set is showing "The
Warriors". A violent saga of
street gangs and asphalt deaths.

Two other Omegas, Troy and
Mitch Walker, are sitting on a
sofa facing the TV. Dalany is off
to the right. His head is tilted
upward, poised on the back of his
hand. He has the look of a
warrior, dignified, majestic,
accomplished. His eyes flash
across the room and meet
Gary's. If there is a leader to be
found for these men it is here, in
Dalany's razor-slit eyes and terse
machine-gun speech.
"We take our pledges and we
mold them into the type of Omega
they're supposed to be," Dalany
folds his hands into a cupped U
and then compresses them. "If
you don't fit the criteria for

the words get under the skin.
"You won't make it...ya know
what I'm saying, you just won't

Troy hits his chest and says
"Everything we have comes

"I'm going to tell you what a

crouches in his chair, his elbows
on his knees watching for a
reaction. "This dude from Delta

Coming Events
Lancer Edition and Jazz
Combo To Perform
Not all the talent at this year's
Miss Longwood Pageant will be
wearing a swimsuit or an evening
gown.
The Lancer Edition, a
choreographed show choir, and
the Jazz Combo will provide live
musical entertainment at various
intervals of the pageant,
scheduled for Saturday, March 5,
at 8 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium.
This represents part of an
overall effort to make this year's
event a professional, "first-
class" pageant, one Longwood
official said. The Lancer Edition
will be the first student show
group to perform at the Miss
Longwood Pageant.
The Lancer Edition — whose
music consists of jazz, blues, pop
and rock — will perform for the
"grand opening" and at two other
times during the pageant. The
Jazz Combo will, in addition to
backing up the Lancer Edition,
perform during the swimsuit and
evening gown competition, and
for the coronation of the pageant
queen.
Both groups were formed about
a year ago. The Lancer Edition is
directed by Dr. L.E. Egbert, Jr.,
head of the music department,
and choreographed by Horace
Scruggs, a sophomore music
major. Allen Butler, a music
instructor, directs the Jazz
Combo.
Thirteen young women will be
vying for $1,800 in scholarship
money and the chance to compete
in the Miss Virginia Pageant in
July. The pageant is part of the
Miss America series, which
represents the largest private
scholarship foundation for
women in the United States. In
1982 scholarships totaling over $2
million were awarded
contestants at the local, state and
national pageants.
The contestants for Miss
Longwood were chosen from 40
applicants in preliminary
competition. Tickets for the
pageant are available from the
College's Public Affairs Office in
East Ruffner. Prices are $2.50 for
adults and $1.50 for students.

Rod Rodgers is a celebrated
choreographer who founded the
dance company over fifteen
years ago, and has been directing
them ever since. The company
tours extensively across the
United States, maintaining a
commitment to bringing
programs to community
audiences which have had
limited opportunities to see
professional concert dance. Over
the years, this integrated but
primarily black dance company
has dramatically demonstrated
an ability to appeal to audiences
of all ages and ethnic origins. The
Rod Rodgers Dance Company is
considered one of the top three
dance companies in the nation
that are directed by black artists.

Student RumoursDeniediThree Sisters aSuccess
By JOHN WATTS
Play Review
None of them were for it.
Whenever I picked the subject of
going to see Three Sisters at
Jarman Auditorium, my friends
shrugged indifferently and said
that it was not in their best
interests to attend. In fact it
didn't seem to be in anyone's best
interests. That noncommital
reaction seemed to be lurking
everywhere on the campus. I felt
at the time, that I had been given
a bitter pill to swallow,
something that had to be washed
down with a grimace. Attend that
show, people seemed to be
hinting to me, and the
consequences would not be
suprising. People even laid down
facts to me about friends of theirs
that had stomped out quite
decidedly half way through the
first evening show. It is funny
how rumors can influence people
and can keep them locked to their
chairs, conditioned to lounge.
Perhaps the rumors found their
target with my friends or maybe
it was just meloncholia. What
ever the cause I found myself
attending alone.
For the next three hours during
the play, I was on the edge of my
seat — totally involved in the
lives of the characters of the
play. Based on a script written by
Anton Chekhov, the story
revolves around three sisters in
Russia and their melancholy
existence, surrounded in luxury.
Act I introduces the characters
as they appear in the parlor of the
girls' house. The atmosphere
immediately established is that
of a normal household routine.
There is a pot pourri of visitors
who are introduced as elements
in the story line through their
mannerisms and speech.
The level of acting is splendid.
Not only was it impressive how
well ironed out the lines were
from the rehearsals (and there
were a lot of lines to memorize),
they were deUvered with an
internalized passion and not
simply read out. Had it been
otherwise, it would have been a
very long night.
Because of the force of his
personality, eyes were focused on
Dr. Chebutykin, portrayed by
George Hughes. Hughes, with an
arthritic hobble and a quavering
voice, acted with an urgency
which breathed fire into the role.
I guess that guy's real life
identity is that of a student. But
he certainly did make a
character crossover. If I could
pick an actor, I would have to say
it was Hughes that really had the
audience humming. It was his
loveable old figure that everyone
looked for.
Ginger Moss, Khaki StoU, and
Sherry Forbes portrayed their
roles as Olga, Masha, and Irene
Prozorov to perfection. Their
pathetic and futile attempts to
break out of the drab and
meaningless routine of their lives
was the story thread of the play.
If they could get to Moscow, they
felt, their lives would be
transformed into glittering
excitement.
The brother of the girls,
Andrew Prozorov was played
admirably by Christopher Cox,
who played a complex, unhappy
person in the throws of a
fulfilbnent crisis. He always
seemed to be trying to hide from
one of the relentlessly outrageous
eccentrics that kept trailing him.
He acted as if he was on the verge
of a breakthrough, but not quite
sure how to get there.
Michael Foster, who played Dr.
Baron Toozenbach, represented
the thoughtful, stabilizing
element of the menage. The
resonating qualities of his voice
permeated the auditorium.
The odd behaviors of the
characters provides constant
absurd situations such as the
unsocial peculiarities of Captain
Soliony played well by Steve
Sullivan. Their romantic
dalliances lend a comic relief to
the brooding, typically Russian
atmosphere.
The Supporting cast was well
chosen and well played.
Particular mention should be
made of the two lieutenants who,
though they only appeared only
briefly, added vigor and
excitement.
Director Patton Lockwood does
a good job of recreating the
atmosphere of grey futility
prevalent in Russian literature.
Coren Brosi, Sharon Gihnore,
and Sherry Forbes contributed
significantly with their
costuming and scenery.
The final scene of the three
hour play comes with all of the
remaining characters outside
having said goodbye to departing
soldiers. It is discovered the
doctor has been killed in a duel
over an argument. He died an
empty man, knowing that his
wife, Irena, never loved him.
Towards the end the sisters are
brushing back their tears and
beginning to bristle with
excitement over the hope of a
new life-style. The bitter old
doctor slumps in his chair and
groans, "Nothing matters, none
of it matters." Andrew Prozorov
continues pushing his baby
carriage, trying to think of a way
out of his discontent. "No one has
really done anything noticeable
here, everybody has become dull,
drab, boring, lazy, complacent,
useless and miserable."
The performance brought to
life the pathos of man's condition.
It was, however, an uplifting
night. So uplifting that people
filing past each other would clasp
total strangers on the back. By
the end of the evening I felt very
close to the characters of the
play. Checkhov created a play
that can never lose its effect on
future generations, as long as
there are wandering souls that
suffer. It is a shame 'hat the
auditorium was not filled to
capacity. For the capacity of skill
that the performers brought to
the Three Sisters demanded it.
My friends should be sorry they
didn't go. (Continued on Page 12)
(jamlhii A Dream
Come True
By FRED CAMPBELL
When the promise of Spring
Breali first invades the air, a
young man's thoughts
traditionally turn from the
mundane activities of a typical
American small town towards
the brighter opportunities of a
semi-large American city. It was
in keeping with this tradition that
I, like a giddy school boy, packed
by aging Dodge, slid behind the
wheel, and set off in the general
direction of Roanoke. To many of
you, Roanoke may not seem like
the kind of city that has a lot to
offer, but to a hopeless fihn
fanatic like myself, Roanoke has
one characteristic that becomes
a kind of redemtpion; the fact
that it has more than one movie
theatre. I was determined to see
at least one current motion
picture during my brief stay.
What finally met my eyes was a
type of fihn that has been a rarity
in recent years: an epic. During
Cecil B. DeMille's reign as
Hollywood's king, the epic fihn
was a conunon sight. Audiences
attentively watched as the large
part of a person's life flashed on
the screen in such extra long
films
as
'The Ten
commandments," "The Robe",
and "The Greatest Story Ever
Told." As the fast-paced, blood
and car-crash audience of the
late 70's and early 80's emerged,
the demand for a three-and-a-half
hour history lesson decreased
until the epic fihn, with the
possible exception of the 1981
fihn, "Reds," became a thing of
the past. Happily, this film genre
has struck another blow against
extinction with Richard
Attenborough's cinematic
masterpiece, "Gandhi," a fihn
that embodies all of the traits of
an epic film.
The story of how "Gandhi"
came to be is an epic in itself. The
fihn is a realization of director
Richard Attenborough's twenty-
two year old dream to bring the
story of Indian leader Mohandas
K. Gandhi to the screen.
Attenborough was beset with
every kind of problem
imaginable during his quest,
from screen play difficulties and
financial problems to a casting
snag of every sort (the likes of
Martin Sheen, Richard Burton,
and Dustin Hoffman were
considered for the lead before
Ben Kingsley finally got the
part). The end result of his sweat
is a graceful portral of the life of
the man India called "the great
soul."
The first of the fiUn's many
attributes is its all-star
supporting cast, which includes
Ian Charelson (Chariots of Fire)
George Hughes makes an hiquiry in Three Sisters.
as English minister Charlie
Andrews, and Martin Sheen
(Apocalypse Now) as Walker, the
staunch New York reporter. The
dark spot in this array of
celebreity cameos is the
appearance of Candice Bergen as
photographer Margaret Bourke-
White. Ms. Bergen's
performance is shallow at best,
and seems to serve no purpose
whatsoever.
Ben Kingsley's portrayal of
Mohandas Gandhi is superb. His
versatihty as an actor comes into
full view as he handles Gandhi's
younger years with ease, and
then gracefully moves into his
later life, aging the character
slowly, but effectively. Kingsley
is very deserving of his
nomination for the Academy's
Best Actor award. (Of special
note — Ben Kingsley is only the
third actor ever to be nominated
for an Academy Award for his
film debut.)
The only problems with
"Gandhi" rest with actor-tumed-
director, Richard Attenborough.
Attenborough ultimately reaches
his desired end, but in the
process, the means he employs
get tangled. Before the fihn's
intermission (that's right, I said
intermission), Attenborough
tries to pull the audience into his
vision of Gandhi too quickly. At
tunes, the events of Gandhi's
early years are squirted out onto
the screen in a slightly incoherent
manner. Certain scenes seem out
of place and the audience is left
confused rather than anxious.
After the intermission,
Attenborough slows down a great
deal. Each scene serves a useful

Collette's Choice- Whose Right? Whose Life?
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
She opened the pale green door
of the old, renovated house and
paused on the porch to listen to It
creak as it shut. There were red
clay pots with marigolds and
shamrocks and a few young girls
huddled quietly on the new porch
swhig. She started down the
freshly painted wooden steps that
had already began to peel.
Pahited steps always peeled, she
thought. She looked for the Jeep
and wondered if anyone had
taken the stereo or cassettes
since she had driven it with the
top down. The faded blue paint on
the Jeep was beginning to crack
too. She climbed in and looked
back across the street to the old
house. She started the enghie and
found a radio station, she turned
the volume up.
She had arrived at the house
almost six hours earlier . . .
Richmond Medical Center fur
Women, said the sign out front.
Just a nice name for an abortion
clinic.
Abortion is fast becoming the
most commonly performed
operation in the United States.
Today, 3 out of 10 pregnancies
will end in abortion, and 45
percent of those abortions,
involve a mother between the
ages of 15 and 17. The physical
risks of abortion have diminished
since 1973, when abortions during
the first trimester of pregnancy
were deemed legal by the U. S.
Supreme Court in the Roe v.
Wade case. A legal abortion in
the first trimester is safer even
than a full term pregnancy. Even
though the physical risks are
limited, the emotional toll on the
would-be mothers is one that
even the Right-to-Lifers can't
understand. And the stress toll is
a completely different story when
the victims are teenagers.
Collette, an eighteen-year-old
college student, had just
undergone the six-hour long
process of ending an unwanted
pregnancy. The actual abortion
procedure took only three to five
minutes, but the Richmond
Medical Center for Women
required the rest of the time for
counseling patients. Patients are
required to make appointments
at least two weeks in advance.
TTiis is to allow enough time for
the woman to be certain that an
abortion is her final choice.
When Collette arrived at the
Medical Center, she was given
forms to fill out asking the
specific conditions of her
pregnancy: whether or not she
was married: did she know who
the father was; was she using
birth control; why or why not —
the usual things forms have the
exclusive rights to ask. Collette
was then given a pregnancy test,
and a blood test to check for.
syphilis. Then, Collette went to
join the other patients, gathered
in the waiting room, which looked
painfully like a big living room
your grandmother decorated,
and there they all watched Love
Boat and Family Feud until their
name was called to go upstairs
and meet their counselors.
Collette's counselor's name
was Anna, and she tried to make
Collette feel as comfortable as
possible. She talked to Collette
about different methods of birth
control, and learned why hers
failed. Anna, above all, made
certain that Collette was aware of
the alternatives to abortion. Anna
discussed in detail the abortion
procedure and the aftercare. In
order for the doctor. Dr.
Fitzhugh, to perform the
abortion, Anna had to be sure
that Collette was emotionally
prepared; that she was stable
enough to deal with the common
feelings of guilt, and other roller-
coaster emotions.
After another waiting period,
Collette was finally called back
upstairs, along with five or six
other girls, to prepare for the
abortion. They were given paper
dresses and five milligrams of
Valium. The abortion procedure
is done with a vacuum aspirator,
much like a suction device.
Although it's a short operation,
it is especially painful. Anna
stayed with Collette throughout
the abortion and tried to divert
Collette's attention away from
the pain. Anna made small talk,
about the concert in town that
night, and about good
restaurants, and reminded Coll-
ette to keep her eyes open. Tears
streaked Collette's face as she
laid there. "God, it hurt so much.
I hated myself for what I was
doing. And the noises the
machine made — it was horrible.
I wanted to die."
After the abortion, Collette's
blood pressure and pulse were
monitored, and she was given
soda and crackers to help restore
her energy. That's it. She was
free to go. That is, after she
picked up the prescription drugs
that she'd have to take for the
next three weeks to prevent
infection and to shrink the uterus
down to its original size before
pregnancy.
"It seemed a crime to be able
to leave that place looking just
like you came. No scars,
nothing." She drove the old beat
up Jeep exceptionally fast that
afternoon. The wind beat her hair
across her face. Dust clouds -
surrounded her as she pulled into
her driveway. She greeted her
family as she sat down to supper.
Her mother had fried chicken.
"I've always liked Mom's fried
chicken."
Overcoming Gynecology Paranoia
By Liz D'Sumey
The horrors and fears that
Vickie had had for the last few
years had finally come to an end.
She expressed her rehef and
satisfaction for realizing the
necessity of such a task and for
gaining the courage and support
she needed to fulfill this
requirement.
Conversing with many friends,
Vickie gained much information
on the subject. After almost
everyone had gone, she sat in a
chair staring at the floor and
twirling her hair around her
finger. She reached for the phone
book and called the Prince
Edward Health Department. She
asked for the Family Planning
Department and made an
appointment with the
gynecologist. The GYN cUnic
maintains a full schedule so she
would have to wait nearly a
month and a half until her
appointment.
The first appointment with a
gynecologist is not something
women express much
enthusiasm about. Like Vickie,
many women postpone making
such an appointment for as long
as possible. There are those
women who are unaware of the
fact that it is best to see a
gynecologist shortly after turning
18 years old. Though it is a
responsibility all women have
and must face sometime within
their lives, it tends to cause
emotional stress in many women.
Perhaps this is from fear of the
unknown or unexpected.
Whatever it is, women owe it to
themselves to take the initiative
to call a gynecologist and make
that first appointment.
Gynecological services were
first introduced to Longwood in
September of 1979, when Dr.
Willett was the college president.
The Prince Edward Health Dept. these services to Longwood
met with college administration voluntarily. The nursing
and approved the availability of a supervisor at the health dept.,
of such
an
GYN clinic. At that time, the
clinic was held at the Health
Dept. office. It was just this past
fall that the clinic was moved to
the college infirmary.
Dr. Greenwood, Longwood
nurses, and counselors met
together to determine the
necessity of such a clinic. Soon
thereafter, the health dept. went

month for several hours to meet
with the patients. They would like
to be able to set up appointments
more often, but their state budget
won't allow it. Miss Calhoun, a
social worker for the Prince
Edward Health Dept. said, "I
wish we could have it two
Wednesdays a month. We'll
hopefully be able to start it
sometime soon. We manage to
see about 20 patients a month
through the college. So far we've
had really good results and
everyone always shows up for
their appointments."
Many girls on campus have
taken advantage of these
services. Various comments
have been made which support
Miss Calhoun's statement of the
popularity of the clinic. One
student made the conunent, "It's
a great idea because as a college
student without much money, it is
good to have an opportunity like
this to go where free services are
offered and know that your
appointment is in strict
confidence with the doctor."
Vickie said, "I think they
should come here more often.
Many girls have not had the
chance to meet with a
gynecologist yet and this is the
perfect chance for them to do
so."
It seems that there is a great
demand for gynecological
treatment. As it is, the Prince
Edward Health Dept. supplies
Posters advertising gynecology
and family planning were placed
around campus. But they were
soon removed due to disapproval
from the administration,
according to Miss Calhoun.
Apparently they did not want
such a topic advertised so openly
to the students. "Since then our
only way of communication has
been by word of mouth," said
Miss Calhoun.
At her appointment, Vickie felt
relaxed talking to the
gynecologist and assistants about
her appointment. Together they
discussed the procedures of the
appointment and the tests to be
taken such as blood tests, a pap
smear, and the pelvic
examination. The social worker
explained the forms of birth
control available to Vickie,
should she decide to choose to use
one. The many questions she had
had for so long, she was able to
ask and received concrete
answers from a reliable source.
"Most of our patients appear to
be quite relaxed and open up to
us," said Miss Calhoun. "They
seem to feel comfortable enough
to ask us whatever is on their
minds. We've had good reactions
from our patients."
All forms of birth control are
available to students. Among
these are the pill, the I.U.D., and
the diaphragm. To get the pill,
one must have an examination,
then a few days later, pick up a
three month's supply of pills at general, as far as the process and
the health department. At this
time, a second appointment is
made for a few months later to
check the patient's blood
pressure, discuss any problems
which may have occurred, and to
receive the rest of the pills, which
includes an eight month supply.
All forms of birth control require
an examination and a follow-up
visit, depending on which type of
birth control is to be used.
All birth control methods are
kept in stock at the health dept.
except for the diaphragm. This
has to be ordered separately as
needed. The gynecologist will
discuss the pros and cons of each
method of birth control if so
desired. How to use each method
is also covered in the session. To
date, these forms of birth control
are offered free to college
students with the exception of the
diaphragm which costs
approximately $50. The
appointment is also free of
charge.
For noncollege students, the
fee for such an appointment
would cost from $13 to $39, not to
mention the charge of birth
control if used. "We have had a
lot of cuts in our budget this

appointment.
Mrs. Roop, head nurse in the
infirmary said, "We (the
infirmary) have no connections
with the gynecological services
offered. The health dept. does all
of that on their own. We may
point the girls in the right
direction, but lately we haven't
even had to do that. We put a sign
on the door which says "GYN
clinic upstairs" and they don't
even have to talk to us. We don't
know these girls and we're not
looking to see who is coming or
going."
The health dept. comes into the
infirmary and prepares for their
appointments in the room
available to them, but have no
interactions with the infirmary.
Mrs. Roop also said that they do
offer help and advice to those who
request it. She said, "Girls should
feel free to come in here and ask
questions. Many are
embarrassed about such a
subject and they should not feel
that way. We are here for their
benefit and are working to help
students in any way we can."
Many girls on campus support

variety of reasons. One girl
stated, "It's great for people who
are sexually active because they

Through all the mischief, and
all the trouble, getting busted

She finished the beer and got up
to get another. "Do you want
one?" She looked really tense,
but relieved at the same time.
She was telling her story, and I
wondered how long it'd been.
"In court that morning, the
judge asked me if I had anything

on the door, which led to the
kitchen. The heavy rapping
caused the refrigerator to
"walk" the floor, sounding much
like footsteps. Cass froze. Susan
ran. Cass pounded one more time
and the door gave way. There.
They were inside. After hours of
cruising, and countless
Quaaludes, bong hits and shots,
the quartet had broken in.
They stood in a kitchen. A big
kitchen still warm, it smelled of
coffee and bacon from the
morning. "Alright, let's
go.. .everybody. ..stroke..." They
went through the house looking
for anything that their "fence"
might be interested in and would
pay cold cash for. Persian rugs,
cameras, clocks, stereos,
jewelry, anything. "That's
enough everybody, let's go."
They jumped in the Trans Am,
Cass at the wheel and spun out of
the damp driveway.
Cass took a long drag off of her
cigarette and sighed as she
finished telling the story. She
looked different now. Before it
was a uniform of peasant blouses
and patched Levi's, worn and
tattered like her body, long
strings of blonde hair, no make-
up and a passion for fast cars and
big men. Before, if you looked at
her close, you would call her a
street urchin, perhaps if you
didn't know her well, a tramp.

made the noises. "We were just
playing, we didn't know we were
doing anything wrong."
It'd been almost two years
since they had broken into those
houses, and over a year since
Cass finished pulling time for it.
Susan had tried for quite some
time to get Cass to break in with
her. Cass had siphoned gasoline,
and sometimes stolen things
from people's garages, but never

hold her down.
One afternoon, Cass's sister,
Bobbi Lee, had come to visit, and
found Cass really strung out. She
looked wild. "I got mad at her one
night and I had her up against a
wall with a big knife at her
throat. Threatening her. I just
lost my shit that night. I'd just
gone off, because I felt like the
w^ole world had shit on me, and
I'd been so nice to everybody."
Bobbi took Cass to a drug
rehabiUtation center in Georgia
called Will and Way. She had to
go through detoxication and
therapy to get rid of all the
good — and I don't think I should
get as harsh a punishment as
someone who had been a real
criminal. I'm not denying that I
did the things I did, but I did not
do it as the person that I am now.
I did it as the person I was when I
was on drugs." And that was
then.
The judge sentenced Cass to
three months in the County Jail.
Originally the sentence had been
for 20 years with 10 suspended on
the charges of breaking and
entering, and grand larceny. One
more time the cards were
stacked for Cass. She spent

"And all of us are going to be
standing there, we're not
running, because that's the way
we've been molded. I don't think
there's a brother in here that
wouldn't die for me." "That's
right," Troy says, "A lot of people
just don't understand us, don't
understand the tradition behind
black fraternities. I mean we
were founded for black unity... at
Howard University in 1911. ..all
black fraternities are founded for
black unity, because at the time
they first started, blacks couldn't
join white fraternities and we
needed something to bring us
together. The only friends I have
on campus are my brothers. I tell
them everyghing just hke a
natural blood brother. Some
people think we're kind of wild.
Other guys might say we're
militant. ..that's a he. ..it's just a
matter of closeness of making
sure none of us get the shaft.
People that down us, don't
understand us." Dalany is
annoyed, he shifts in his chair
listening to Troy's words and
then smooth like a cat, raises his
hand. Troy stops speaking.
"I'll give you a prime example
of the hassle we get because of
the misunderstanding. We can be
out in front of Frazer doing our
dance routine and chanting and
it's like synchronized swimming.
Inside Black Fraternities-
The Q-Dogs on Campus
you know, everybody rippling in
time together, and everytime,
just about guaranteed, a few
people will start yelling out the
windows "nigger" or "Why don't
y'all go somewhere else, nigger"
or something like that, and Jim
Scott (the Resident Supervisor
for Frazer) will get on the phone
and call the Campus Pohce. Let
some white frat come out in front
of Frazer and start screaming
and hoUerin' and they'll get away
with it - and its happened man -
they think its funny then when the
white frat is raising hell and they
won't do shit about it." Its not
usually the majority of the
people that yell 'nigger' or
something out the window
though...! don't want to give you
the wrong idea. I think on the
whole, a lot of people respect us.
When we're walking away some
folks start yellin' things like
"Nah - forget them, come back,
come back ya know."
The contrast between Omega
Psi Phi and the other "social"
fraternities is as stark and bold
as the printing on this page - the
black and the white. They call for
academic excellence - a minimal
2.5 grade point average as
opposed to the social
fraternities 2.0 and a pledge
program that equals the USMCs
torturous basic. They don't want
to belong to Longwood's Inter
Fraternity Councel because "It'd
be like pledging Longwood."
They have a stoic outsiders
attitude towards the campus
which according to Dalany is not
by choice.
"We'll never be accepted here
man. The college as a whole is not
going to accept our fraternity
becasue its black - and the college
does not accept blacks. Things
are slowly changing and getting
better, but right now there are
still a lot more changes in
attitudes that the college has to
go through, and eventually if it
learns to accept the blacks, they
will accept the fraternity... As far
as our fraternity goes
though... we don't care. You can
like us or dislike us, that's your
opinion. You goTyours and we got
ours."
Mitch Walker, a lanky boned
6'2" guard for the Longwood
basketball team didn't make it
through the Omegas boot camp
the first time. As a freshman,
wise and wry, straight from New
York he buckled under to no one.
When the Omegas told him "no
chillin' out" - no TV, no drinking,
no smoking, and "whooaa" no
women, when they told him how
to walk, eat and talk and "when
to sleep, dream and shit" he
walked out the Q-dogs' door.
"It was a strange feeling... I
was used to doing things the way
I always did them, and I guess I
did some wild things back in
those days... I wasn't ready for
the Omega fraternity yet. When it
(the pledge weeks) hit, I wasn't
prepared physically or mentally -
it was like having a bomb drop on
you."
"He felt like a rat" says Dalany
"a weasel... he didn't feel like a
dog though, not a Q-dog."
"When you're an independent
like Mitch was and you get on line
and someone tries to tell you
what to do and they're trying to
break your spirit down, they're
sayin' 'look Mitch it's time to go
to bed, it's time to study (and
we've got all the pledges studying
while they're on line 6 o'clock to 9
o'clock or 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock
Monday thru Friday) - it's time to
wash your clothes or take a
shower.. .it's a big change," says
Little. "He didn't make it after a
week," says Gary. "It's a
challenge and you've got to want
it, it takes work. ..and
perseseverance, like the Q-dog,
our bulldog, perseverance and
courage." "Mitch made it on the
second try - he wanted it enough
that time."
The Omegas in Dalany 's room
are quiet, the tension has been
broken it seems, a tension that
has been building for a long time.
Gary Thomhill nods solemly ,
Mitch has his head leaned back
against the sofa, his eyes are
watching the slow wind bent
undulations of a piece of plastic
taped over a window's empty
frame. There are only 7 members
to this fraternity on campus and
in the local community. They go,
as Troy Littles put it, for quality,
not quantity. To belong to this
fraternity, the Q-dog litter, it
doesn't matter if you're black or
white, if you're rich or poor. What
counts is how bad you want to be
a brother. There are 100,000 of
them nationally, spread out from
Alaska to Florida, a huge volvox
of a family. Like Dalany says
"I'm a family man see - I'm
going to take care of my family -
you know till the day I die" - Uke
the fraternity saying goes
"Omega Psi Phi till the day I
die."

Dogs Survive Fire Across From Stubbs
By Tammy Porter
It is just after 7 o'clock on a
bitterly cold Saturday evening in
February. The sky is clear and
the stars are twinkling. The wind
is blowing, making the air seem
colder in the town of Farmville.
At Stubbs dormitory at
Longwood College, the students
are relatively quiet as opposed to
their normal noisy Saturday
evenings. While most of the girls
have packed-up and gone home
for the weekend, the remainder
of the girls are either taking
showers, drinking beer, or
catching a short nap, since
barking dogs have kept them
awake the night before. A lot of
the students are heading out to
the big entertainment attraction
in the lower dining hall: The
Voltage Brothers are scheduled
to appear at 9 p.m. and everyone
wants to attend since it is one of
the few times Longwood College
has sponsored a band the college
students know something about.
Various students are engaging
in different actions in different
parts of the dorm in the town of
Farmville. ..But that evening on
February 5th they will all be
joined together in an observation
that they will not forget: The fire
of the house with the barking
dogs.
At 7:20 p.m. while working her
normal night shift at Stubbs, the
desk aid sits behind here wooden
desk calling girls down to escort
their dates for the evening. She
watches television on a portable
black and white. From the comer
of the hall on the first floor she
hears a girl scream. Rushing to
the back door, she sees smoke
pouring out of the chimney from
the two story brick house that is
located on Griffin Street beside
the Baptist Student Center.
Suddenly, the fire trucks
approach Longwood Campus.
After parking in front of the
burning house they begin fighting
the flames. The students are
horrified. One yells, "The dorm is
on fire!" The students begin to
leave their rooms. The thought
enters their minds, "Are we
going to lose everything like the
students at William and Mary?"
In an uproar, they fly down the
stairs and as they approach the
window they see the smoke
coming from the house across the
street. Immediately the windows
are packed by students viewing
the fire. Someone says, "Hey
everyone come look, this house is
on fire! " The party on the second
floor goes outside to watch the
fire from the comer by Stokes
Grocery Store. The students
eating dinner on the third floor
drop their knives and forks to
stare out from the window.
Donna Ruggiero yells, "It's
that house with the barking
dogs." Apparently, earlier that
day, she filed a complaint about
the dogs barking all night long
keeping herself and other
residents from sleeping in their
rooms. While she was the only
student to report the noise,
several students complained
about the dogs.
At 7:05 p.m. Nancy Walker, 35,
of 307 Griffing Street has her
eldest son run to a nearby neigh-
bor to report a fire. Her wood
stove which bums consecutively
24 hours a day is causing a fire.
The sap from the pine and other
pollutants in the air has blocked
her chimney. While washing her
dinner dishes, she has turned to
the dining room and noticed it is
full of smoke. Panic striken, she
has told one of her five children to
go get help. She opens the front
door and begins calling for her
other children. She cuts off the
oven hoping to reduce the flames.
"The smoke was the worse part,"
she remembers. "It filled the
whole house.... It was hard to
breathe."
Luckily the volunteer Fire
Department from Farmville does
not waste time reporting to the
fire. After hosing the flames for
30 minutes, they check the vents
and insulation of the home. Mrs.
Walker remembers, "They even
went into the attic which has been
locked for two years now."
Meanwhile the students
observing the fire are returning
to their previous activities. Jay
Howell says, "I'm going to eat. ..I
don't like cold steak." The
students drinking go back inside
for another beer.
The fire trucks depart from the
scene at 9:20 p.m. Mrs. Walker
does not know how much damage
has been done to her house. She

Market Basket Survey
The local food market basket
cost 64 cents more in February
than in January, a 1.06 percent
increase. Total cost for the
basket was $61.03.
But this month's food basket
total was $1.08 less than in
February 1982.
Accounting for the small
increase in this month's market
basket cost were slightly higher
prices for 13 food items, including
meats, fish, cheese, apples,
carrots, lettuce, and com.
Prices were slightly lower for
17 items, including flour, bread,
soda crackers, fryers, milk, ice
cream, eggs, bananas, oranges,
cabbage, celery, potatoes,
tomatoes, coffee, cola drinks,
shortening, and peanut butter.
Ten items were priced the
same as last month: com flakes,
evapwrated milk, frozen green
beans, onions, peaches, peas,
tomato soup, margarine, sugar,
and grape jelly.
The Farmville market basket
compares with other three
areas of the state where such
surveys are conducted as
follows:
Farmville - Jan. 1983, $60.39,
Feb. 1983, $61.03 and Feb. 1982,
$62.11;
Northern Virginia — Jan.
$5959, Feb. $62.14;
Richmond - Jan. $61.03, Feb.
$60.85;
Norfolk, Virginia Beach-
Portsmouth - Jan. $58.67, Feb.
$59.35.
Again this month, the local
market basket is not the highest
priced one in the state. The food
basket in Northern Virginia
totaled $62.14 this month, a hefty
4.3 percent increase over last
month. The Tidewater area
basket also showed a slight
increase of 1.2 percent this
month, totaling $59.35. Only the
Richmond area basket, at $60.85,
showed a cost decrease of 0.3
percent.
The local market basket study
will include one more store
beginning in March. The area's
newest store, IGA Foodlines, will
be included along with Safeway,
Winn-Dixie, and Big Star.
In addition to the local food
basket, the Economics Seminar
class also surveyed local gasoline
prices this month. Prices for
gasoline at self-service and full-
service stations for all brands
were lower in February than in
January. Prices in Appomattox,
Blackstone, Crewe, Dillwyn,
Keysville, and Farmville all
followed the generally lower
trend in gasoline prices.
In Farmville, all regular and
unleaded gasoline prices dropped
by a large 4.30 percent. The
unleaded premium decline was a
smaller 2.55 percent.
The local market basket study
and area gasoline prices study
are projects of the Economics S-
eminar class at Longwood
College and are under the
direction of Dr. Anthony B. Cristo

Computer Courses Offered
In response to the growing
interest in home computers,
Longwood College is offering
three innovative computer
courses during the months of
March and April.
The first course. The Basics of
Home Computing, is a non-credit
course designed specifically for
persons who know very little
about home computers. Using
simple language, group
discussions, guest speakers, and
hands-on experiences, the course
provides a non-threatening
introduction to the complex world
of personal computing.
The class sessions will meet
from 7 to 9 p.m. on the following
Tuesday evenings: March 1, 8, 22,
29, and April 5. The fee for the
course is $30.
The second course. Small
Business Microcomputer
Applications. (Bus. 358), will
emphasize hardware analysis
and selection, choosing and
designing software, integrating
computers into small
professional and business
operations, and economies and
efficiencies gained through
computer applications. Case
studies, demonstrations of
hardware and software, and
student analyses of possible
applications will be used to
develop realistic knowledge and
skills.
The classes will meet from 7 to
8:40 p.m. on the following
Wednesdays: March 2, 9, 23, 30,
and April 6, 13, and 20. The course
carries one academic credit, and
the fee is $35 plus a one time non-
degree registration fee of $10.
The third course. An
Introduction to Personal
Computing, provides students
with their own VIC-20 color
computer to use and keep, plus
instruction in keyboard
operations, graphics and sound
generation, Basic programming,
and developing their own
personal computer system. The
course is designed for persons
with no prior computer education
and will provide a strong base for
further computer skill
development.
The VIC-20 computer was
selected for the course because of
its low cost, impressie keyboard,
built-in Basic language, video
game cartridge acceptance,
adaptability to the home and
office, color capability, and the
availability of equipment and
software in the Richmond and
Lynchburg areas.
Class sessions will be as
follows: Saturday, March 5, from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (lunch will be
provided); and 7 to 8:40 p.m. on

Rick Franks— Laughing All The Way to the Bank.
Many college students work at
various odd jobs to put
themselves through school. But
not many do it the way Rick
Franks, a Longwood College
junior, is doing it.
Franks, a pre-medical
technology major, is a stand-up
comedian. He has performed at
nightclubs and comedy clubs in
Richmond, Norfolk, Qeveland
and elsewhere in his native Ohio.
And although comedy is
currently a means to help him
pursue a career in medical
research, he may one day
abandon the laboratory for the
stage.
"I'll be in college a long time
and I'll be in medical school a
long time," he said. "Then
there's internship and residency.
All that takes time and money.
Depending on how my career
goes, I could possibly make more
money as a comedian than as a
doctor. I'll just have to wait and
see how everything goes."
So far, in a professional career
of only a year, everything
has gone well. A 26-year-
old Cleveland native who now
calls Norfolk home, Franks
now calls Norfolk home, Franks
has appeared at nine clubs. He
first performed professionally in
March last year.
"I was in Cleveland on a short
vacation and auditioned for a job
at the Tangiers Club, a cabaret in
Akron," he recalled. "I was
supposed to open up for the
Unknown Comic. Then he
cancelled and I had to do the
whole show."
Last November he performed
at the recently opened Richmond
Comedy Club, located in a
annual All-American Collegiate
Talent Search.
New Mexico State University,
which is running the competition,
will choose seven finalists and
Rick Franks as Karl Maiden in a fictional "American Express"
commercial.
Shockoe Slip pub. Over
Christmas break he went to
Cleveland and did about four
shows a week at various clubs.
Franks's performances on the
Longwood campus have included
the fraternity banquet last
October and the Afro-American
Student Alliance-sponsored
talent show in mid-February,
where he captured second place.
The biggest break in the
comic's career could come from
a nationwide talent search he
recently entered. Franks has
submitted a seven-minute
videotape of one of his routines to
the organizers of the second
one alternate from the entries,
which encompass all forms of
entertainment. Those persons,
v^o each receive $500, will
perform there March 26 in front
of numerous professional agents.
Three will be selected to perform
at "Catch a Rising Star," a
prominent New York nightclub
that specializes in comedy.
"The exposure I would get
from performing in New Mexico,
with all those agents persent,
would be more important than
winning the thing," he said. "It
could lead to future jobs." In
addition to the seven finalists,
three contestants from each of 14
Your Turn
A genteel tradition at
Longwood College is its dining
hall. Seldom will you find an
institution where tables are set
with china, silverware and fresh
flowers. Much effort has been
made to make the dining hall an
attractive place to dine. Such
efforts are shown through the
painting of the walls, hanging of
curtains and displaying of the
menu and its caloric content.
There are services which ARA
provide that students may be
unaware of - such as packing a
bagged lunch for individuals
whose schedules do not permit
them to dine and preparing
special diets for individuals with
the help of ARA nutrionist, Rita
Harris.
Each month birthday dinners
are held to help celebrate those
students who have a birthday
sometime during the month.
Twice a month, dinner is an
adventure to giving students a
chance to become acquainted
with food from other countries.
Students are encouraged to
participate by dressing for the
occasion.
Some students question the
expense of the meal plan at
Longwood. Individuals have
asked why one must pay for all
meals if one does not eat every
meal in the dining hall. The cost
of the meal plan allows a student
to be absent from a number of
meals. With this plan, the price of
the meals are reduced and
students are allowed seconds.
Another expense of the students
is applied toward busing trays.
Students neglect to pick up their
own trays. This requires more
waiters and waitresses to work,
which in turn is an additional
expense for the students.
Through the Dining Hall
Committee, a continuous effort is
made to improve and create an
atmosphere agreeable to the
students. Meetings are held twice
a month with representatives
from the student body, dining hall
staff, dining hall workers, ARA,
and Dean Ogrosky. If you have
any suggestions or questions
concerning the dining hall, feel
free to speak with the head of
ARA, Mr. Pronesti or any dining
hall committee member.
Cordially,
A Representative from
the Dining Hall Committee

Frank is not a typical college
student. He has held 28 different
jobs — lasting anywhere from
five days to two and a half years
— and attended three colleges.
Those jobs include assembler,
exterminator, lathe operator,
molding plant worker, sub shop
employee, salesman, taxi driver
and torpedo tester for the
Defense Department.
The varied work experiences
help with his comedy, Franks
noted, because he often relates
real-life situations.
"The funniest thing that ever
happened to me was when I was a
taxi driver in Norfolk and was
robbed by three ladies," he
recalled, chuckling. "The funny
thing was, I didn't even know I'd
been robbed for hours and hours.
They picked my pockets; I lost
$56. They paid me with my own
money, $6 plus a $2 tip. I was so
embarrassed I couldn't even tell
my boss."
Franks, who enrolled at a
community college near
Cleveland after high school, later
attended Old Dominion
University. Last fall, after three
semesters at ODU, he
transferred to Longwood because
he wanted a smaller, residential
college. "At ODU, you see a
thousand faces a day and you
don't get to know one of them.
Here, you get to meet a lot of
people."
He writes "virtually" all his
own material, much of which is
aimed at college-age audiences,
and prefers comedy clubs over
nightclubs. "They're there to see
comedy," he said of the audience.
"Right now is an excellent time
to try it as a comedian," he
claimed. "Comedy clubs are
opening up all the time. Because

Lancers close with Two Wins
Longwood's men's basketball
team ended its season with two
straight wins last week, knocking
off 17th ranked Randolph-Macon
41-39 and beating Phillips (MS)
79-72 to finish 15-10, the fifth
straight winning season for the
Lancer cagers.
A 19-footer by senior co-captain
Mike Testa provided the margin
of victory as the Lancers edged
Randolph-Macon Wednesday
night by two in what was
probably the biggest win ever for
the Lancer cagers in Lancer Hall.
Six points by freshman Lonnie
Lewis keyed a 10-point burst in
the first half that put Longwood
up 23-14. The Jackets never led
after that, though the game was
tied three times in the second
half. With Macon refusing to
come out of its zone defense, the
Lancers held the ball for several
minutes in both halves.
With the scored tied 39-39 and
time running down, freshman
guard Frank Tennyson forced a
turnover at 0:34 and Testa came
through with the winning shot at
0:03. With the victory and one
over Phillips Saturday night
Longwood moved its homecourt
record to 27-4 since Lancer Hall
opened in 1980.
Saturday night's win over
Phillips marked the final
appearance for seniors Testa,
Ron Orr and Joe Remar. Testa
had a great game with 11 points,
five assists and five steals.
Remar ended his career with
records for points (1,479), assists
(531) and steals (201). The 6-1
guard averaged 18.7 points per
game, highest Longwood average
since Jimmy Yarbrough scored
22.2 ppg. in the 1976-77 season. He
had 137 assists, 64 steals and 15
dunks this season.
Orr, a strong scorer around the
basket, ranks as Longwood's
second leading career scorer
with 1,335 points and is also
second in rebounds at 648. The
left-hander averaged 16.4 points
and 8.6 rebounds with 15 dunks in
his finest season ever.
Junior forward Jerome (The
Cobra) Kersey, who had 16
points, 16 rebounds, five assists,
two blocked shots and four steals
against Phillips, broke his own
record for rebounds (270) ana
blocked shots (42) in a season.
Kersey averaged 14.6 points and
10.8 rebounds while leading the
Lancers in blocks, steals (71),
dunks (22) and ranking second in
assists (77).
Kersey turned in a phenomenal
play in the win over RMC. In the
first half he grabbed a loose ball
with his right hand just before it
went out of bounds and flipped a
behind-the-back pass to a
breaking Remar for a slam-dunk.
The 6-7 forward had 12 points,
seven rebounds, five assists, two
blocks and two steals in the win
over Macon.
Freshman Lonnie Lewis ended
the season averaging 10.4 points
and leading the Lancer regulars
in free throw percentage (76.9).
The 6-3 forward scored 10 against
the Yellow Jackets and 15 in the
finale against Phillips.
For the fifth year in a row,
Longwood has ranked among
NCAA leaders in field goal
percentage. Ranked high in
Division III in 1979 and 1980, the
Lancers have ranked among the
top teams in shooting in Division
n in 1981, 1982 and now this
season. Coach Cal Luther's team
hit 53.6 per cent of its shots from
the floor and was rated third in
the latest Div. II statistics.

Longwood's baseball team,
31-10-1 and South Atlantic
Region champs in NCAA
Division II last year, open the
1983 season Thursday at
Pembroke State. The Lancers
play at Pembroke for one
game Thursday and two
games Friday and then travel
to South Carolina for twin bills
at Baptist Saturday and Allen
Sunday. The first local
appearance for the Lancers
will be Tuesday, March 8 at
Hampden-Sydney in a 2:30
contest.
As coach Buddy Bolding
approaches the upcoming
season, he has reason to
believe Longwood could field
another powerful team.
Although several key players
were lost to graduation,
including much of the Lancer
pitching staff, Bolding feels
the Lancers could once again
be contenders for national
honors in Division II.
The Longwood infield,
which played brilliantly in
1982, returns intact except for
the graduation loss of star
first baseman Denny Ulrey.
The Lancers have a lot to Hve
up to after last season's
appearance in the Division II
World Series and fifth place
national ranking by Collegiate
Baseball.
Bolding, however, feels an
excellent recruiting year will
enable Longwood to field
another national contender.
"I think we can contend for
an NCAA Playoff berth once
again," says the coach. "If
our young pitchers can
continue to improve, we'll be a
formidable opponent in the
national scope again this year.
Our goal is to qualify for the
playoffs again, and to defend
our NCAA II regional title."
The returning starters are
virtually a hit parade of
batsmen. DH Allen Lawter,
.311, has been moved to first
base. Also back are second
baseman David Rumburg,
.397, Ail-American shortstop
Dwayne Kingery, .390, third
baseman John Sullivan, .375,
catcher Doug Toombs, .397,
and left fielder Sonny Bolton,
.379. Longwood, which
averaged 9.2 runs per game
last season, could have its
most potent lineup ever in
1983.
Moving into the starting
lineup will be freshmen
Dennis Leftwich in left field,
and Chris Wilburn in right.
Leftwich will continue
Longwood's tradition of
having sensational speedsters
in center, while Wilburn, an
All-State pick as a senior, will
provide a potent long ball
threat. Top outfield reserves
will be senior Sam Bagley and
junior Duayne Kendrick.
Heading up the pitching
staff will be senior
righthander Mickey Roberts,
5-0 with a 0.96 ERA last
season. Also expected to be
top starters for Longwood are
freshmen Glenn Mitchell,
Todd Ashby and Tommy
Norris. Adding depth to the
mound corps are senior Ron
Jones, who played outfield a
year ago, and newcomers
Scott Mills and Terry Spittler.

Gymnasts Await Possible Bid
The Longwood gymnastics
team ended its regular season at
the James Madison Invitational
Friday night on an up and a down
note. Longwood's team score
(159.9) was its highest this
season, yet once again the team
finished beneath the opposition.
Strong Division I opponents
North Carolina State (172.65) and
James Madison (169.05) finished
first and second in the meet.
Kelly Crepps turned in the best
all-around score of the year for
the Lancers (33.35), which was
only the eighth highest score in
the meet. Crepps placed second
in vaulting (8.75) and fifth on
beam (8.7), which was also a new
season high. Dayna Hankinson
also did exceptionally well in all-
around (33.05) and placed fifth on
floor (8.65).
The Lancers finished the
regular season with a misleading
8-10 mark. Five of Longwood's
ten losses came at the hands of
Division I schools — Auburn,
East Tennessee, Duke, N.C. State
and James Madison.
The NCAA Division II
Regionals will be held March 12
at Radford. The Lancers are
awaiting word from the Division
II Regional Committee on
whether or not they will receive a
bid.

Softball Team
Returns Eight
By Jim Winkler
The 1983 Longwood women's
Softball team will open its season
March 7 at Mary Washington in a
double header. Eight players are
returning from last year along
with five rookies.
Longwood will be participating
in NCAA Division II for the first
time. Coach Nanette Fisher feels
the Lancers will fare well in their
new division.
"Our competition is very
similar to the past couple of
years. The only team we meet
this year that we haven't played
before is VCU," said Fishers.
Last year Longwood had a record
of 10^.
Fisher is most wary of Division
I opponent George Mason.
"Mason won Division HI three
consecutive years, moved up to
Division II and did well and is
now competing in Division I. Its
fall squad was 14-0."
Among Longwood's returning
players are pitchers Donna
Kanary and Betsy Armstrong.
Both performed well last season.
Lynne Giblert was a key infield
"^j I
player last year. Kay Aultman,
Cindy Walsh, Pam Cauley, CoUen
Stiles, and Donna Goforth are
also returning.
"We hope to improve our
defense and capitalize on
opportunities more than last
season," said Fisher. "Our
batting percentages were good,
but we didn't take full advantage
of our opportunities."
Coach Fisher feels the Lancers
will be ready for Mary
Washington on March 7 despite
limited practices for the team.

"I'm excited that I got the
position," said the Lynchburg
native. "Volleyball has always
been my favorite sport. I've
always wanted to coach
volleyball at the college level. It
will be a challenge, but I feel I'm
capable of fulfilling the job."
Johnson, Testa
perform strong
Sophomore Mariana Johnson
and Senior Mike Testa turned in
outstanding performances last
week as the Longwood basketball
teams closed out their seasons.
5-9 forward Johnson scored 16
points in the Lady Lancers final
game, a 58-47 victory over tough
VAIAW opponent Liberty
Baptist. She finished the season
averaging 6.3 points per game
and 4.5 rebounds per game. The
Lady Lancers finished the season
at 9-16 while Liberty Baptist
earned its way into the VAIAW
final four with a 7-14 record on the
year. The Lady Flames will
compete at Longwood Friday and
Saturday in the VAIAW Final
Four tournament.
Testa, a 6-0 guard snot the
winning goal Wednesday vs.
Randolph Macon. The play was
set up when freshman guard
Frank Tennyson stole the ball
with 34 seconds left. Testa scored
11 points in the final game of his
college career Saturday night vs.

The Longwood Riding Team
opened this semester's season on
February 19 at Sweet Briar
College. The team competed
strongly, finishing fifth out of a
field of eight participating
schools. The riders also
competed at the University of
Virginia February 26, coming in
fourth of eight colleges.
Individual results from Sweet
Briar include a first place for
Mary Brockwell, who finished
third in last year's Nationals in
walk-trot, and a second place for
Kristin Birath in Novice
Equitation. Kirsten Ladendorf
won a second in Intermediate
over fences, and Martie Wilson
earned a second place in Novice
over fences.
At UVA, first place winners
were Kristen Birath, Mary
Brockwell and Beth Wiley.
Second place winners were
Bryan Farrar, Open division over
fences, and Kristen Ladendorf,
Intermediate over fences.
Several riders are now eUgible
to compete at the Regional
Intercollegiate horse show at
UVA this spring. Kristen Birath
and Mary Brockwell qualify for
Novice equitation at Regionals
and now advance to the
Intermediate Division. Carol
Turner advances to the Novice
Division and will compete in
walk-trot-canter at the
Regionals. While several of the
ten riders need only a few more
points, five have already
qualified for the Regionals.
There are two shows remaining
in the season. On March 26 the
team travels to William and
Mary, and the final show of the
year will be hosted by Longwood
on April 6.
Absence of Melee?
By JERRY WEIR
Poor attendance at sports
events would appear to be a
highly frivolous matter for
any person entertaining the
egotistical notion of calling
himself a writer to delve into
— however, as I have never
considered myself to be too
terribly far above the high
school thought process and
subject matter (or, for that
matter, even much of a
writer), I don't have any
misgivings about doing so.
Commentary
With all of our winter sports
nearly over, such an endeavor
may well prove useless to the
Longwood athletes who have
already finished their seasons.
It may, however, prove
helpful to the athletes whose
sports are just beginning to
get underway — i.e.,
Longwood rugby, baseball,
tennis, softball and lacrosse,
so I'll go ahead with it.
Did anyone go to a women's
basketball game this year?
Don't be shy — I know you're
out there! The Lady Lancers
games in front of the largely
empty, rather unsupportive
aluminum bleachers in
Lancer Hall. There was a
regular attendance at the
games, but it was slight at
best. It would not be easy to
say much better for the
"crowds" at our home
wrestling matches and
gymnastic meets. Dragging
people to these events is much
like getting them to knowingly
sign up for one of Dr. Helms'
U.S. Government classes —
which, except for a few
innocents about campus, is
close to impossible.
Quite a few supporters have
shown up for the men's
basketball games — in
particular last week's R-MC
game at which certain
sororities thought it necessary
to make attendance
mandatory to get any of their
members to come to the
game. Is it really all that
bad?? I thought that we could
go to a game just to enjoy it.
however such frivolities must
be below the upper echelon of
the Longwood socialite scene.
That's o.k., though, a few
sorority sisters did get
introduced to the game of
basketball, an
acquaintanceship which, in
and of itself, was rather an
intriguing spectacle to witness
("How many points for a
touchdown?").
Yet another incentive for
some to attend this game was
to hurl masses of toilet paper
onto the floor of Lancer Hall
as soon as Jerome Kersey
made his first field goal —
more of that good old high
school humour — but why
leave as soon as this one
major goal had been
accomplished? Everyone who
did leave missed a fantastic
Longwood win.
The upcoming outdoor
games may not be as much
fun for those who want to
throw toilet paper, but, then, a
cooler full of ice cold brew
may satiate such desires while

Rod Rogers Melee
(Continued from Page 2)
The Rod Rodgers Uance
Company and their
accompanying musical ensemble
has also been very successful and
effective in performing and
teaching residencies working
with experienced dancers and
beginners, with special education
and children's programs.
The company is widely known
for its percussion dance plays,
where the dancers play hand held
instruments, creating their own
musical environment as they
move onstage. Rodgers has also
developed an approach to
nonliteral works which he calls
"sculptural movement
landscapes," described by a
DANCEMAGAZINE critic as ". .
. some of the most exciting
abstract movement around."
Admission to the performance
is $4.00 for the general public and
free for Longwood College
students. Advanced tickets can
be purchased in the Student
Union Office, Lankford Building,
and tickets will be sold at the
door, availability permitting.
Underfed
Stoker
Decided On
Dr. Annstrong, Vice-President
of Finance for Longwood College,
met in Richmond February 24
with officials from the Division of
Engineenng and Building and the
Environmental Protection
Agency in order to discuss plans
for an "Under Fed Stoker."
The Under Fed Stoker,
according to Armstrong, would
be used to deliver from the
ground level up, sawdust,
woodchips or coal to the two coal
burners which are currently
being fed wood chips through an
antiquated "Automatic Stoker."
•The Under Fed Stoker" said
Armstrong, "was thought the
best way to go. It would enable us
to burn sawdust, woodchips or
coal for less than $200,000 (the
cost of the underfed stoker).
The mechanism would have
built in pollution controls and
since 'it's a hotter burning
stoker" it would be safe to bum
alternative fuels, allowing
Longwood "a flexibility we've
never had before." Or Armstrong
estimates that the woodchips
project could save Longwood
approximately $150,000 in one
year. If everything goes well the
under fed stoker should be in
place by October of next year.
"The state office is really for
this . . . we'll be the first state
institution to bum wood for fuel.
It would also help our local
economy lumbermills such as
Buffalo Shook will love to sell us
sawdust."
Dr. Armstrong said, "This may
turn out to be the push that the
Longwood budget needs.
Hopefully it will lead to more
money being channeled into our
academic departments" as a
result of the fuel savings.
(Continued from Page 1 1)
watching a baseball or
lacrosse game. Perhaps
sororities and frats could
encourage support of all of our
sports. All LC students
support our sports programs
financially, why not make the
effort to support them with
attendance?
But really, folks, don't get
me wrong — I have no desire
to sound like an ail-American,
go-get-'em, Farmville-is-my-
town LC sports fan, but it does
appear that the Longwood
sports scene is somewhat less
than thrilling to many
students. If so, it is due to our
lack of support for the
Longwood teams, and not to
the lack of effort on the part of
our athletes, coaches and
trainers. It's your money on
display in LC sporting events,
and you may as well have a
peak at the investment.
Oh well, so much for the
high school sports pitch —
uhh, Where's that toilet
paper

Paranoia
(Continued from Page 4)
on your own and feel good about
it." All of these statements are in
great support and give positive
points of the gynecological
services.
An appointment with a
gynecologist should not cause
anxiety as it did with Vickie. It is
a natural part of life and needs to
be accepted. It is something that
should be done as soon as possible
in the early years of a woman's
life. As one girl said, "There is
nothing for a girl to be afraid of. I
strongly urge everyone to go who
hasn't been. It is important to
have this check-up."
It seems that for the most part,
once a woman goes, she wonders
what she ever had to fear. This
was so in Vickie's case, but she
feels that she benefited from it in
numerous ways. She took the
effort to take care of herself and
how could that be so frightening?
One can't go wrong with free
advice and services. One female
student said, "I hope they keep it
going for as long as possible. It's
great."

more even quality, lowards the
end of the film, you not only
realize the genius and
compassion of Mohandas Gandhi,
but also the masterful ability of
Richard Attenborough, whose
efforts also earned him an Oscar
nomination.
The skill and care that went
into the making of "Gandhi"
make it one of the best films to
come out in the last five years.
Even though Ben Kingsley and
Richard Attenborough are not
my picks for their respective
Oscars, they both give the kind of
performance that is refreshing
and rarely seen these days. The
epic quality of the film alone
makes it a viable contender for
the 1982 Best Picture Award. But
with the year's competition as
stiff as it is, only time will tell.

He said that he has learned a
valuable lesson during his on-

The Dance Theatre of Central
Virginia was established by Betty
Sue Moehlenkamp, of
Lynchburg, to offer training and
opportunities for performance to
professionally oriented dancers
in the Central Virginia area.
Acting as a "dance umbrella," it
hopes to- encourage creation of
new works of choreography in
varied styles of dance with the
active involvement of musicians,
visual, and theatre artists.
Two Farmville artists will be
performing in the program at
Longwood. Noelle Prince will
dance a new work, Autumn
Flourish, with music by Ernst
Kreneck. Karen Hubbard, who is
currently teaching in the dance
program at Longwood and is
artistic director of Dance-By-
Two, will perform House In The
Rising Sun, choreographed by
New York-based Canadian dance
artist Terrell McGuire.
The Lynchburg choregraphers
performing include: Betty Harris
of Dance-By-Two and currently a
member of the faculty of Seven
Hills; Betty Sue Moehlenkamp,
director of Dance Theatre of
Central Virginia; and Walter
Holland, dancer, writer, massage
therapist and graduate student at
Lynchburg College. A company
of 10 will join these
choreographers in presenting
solos, duets, and group works.
Dance Ltd., of Richmond, will
contribute to the program a duet,
Twice Blue, choreographed by
company director Karen Kessler.
Dr. Betty Bowman, director of
Longwood's Dance Company,
states: "Longwood is pleased to
host this new not-for-profit arts
organization committed to the
development of dance in our
area. This group has given freely
of their time, skills, energy and
artistry to this program for our
community, and their
performance is greatly appre-
ciated."

"A TIME FOR
ACTION"
Elisabeth L. Flynn, Associate
Professor of Art History cordially
invites Students, Faculty, and
Administration to a Hat Party on
Bedford Mall on Thursday, April
28th at 6:30 p.m. Punch and
cookies will be served.
The invitation requires that a.
each guest must wear a hat; b.
each guest must make his-her
hat; c. your hat must be copied
from a work of art.
In the History of Art there are
many works in which the people
portrayed wear marvelous hats.
When we look at these works we
often say "Wouldn't it be
wonderful to wear a hat like
that ! " So this party is designed to
give us the opportunity to wear
Henry VIII's black velvet hat
with jewels or Blue Boy's with a
feather. There are all kinds of
hats or headdresses, scarves,
helmets, turbans, feathers and
headbands. Everyone has a
chance to wear a favorite hat.
For suggestions for hats, go to the
Reserve Room in Lancaster
Library and just browse through
the books, look at the pictures
and have fun trying to decide
which hat you like best.
There will be three prizes
awarded for the hats. The prizes
will be a year's membership in
the Smithsonian Institution. The
membership has much to offer
including the monthly publication
of the "Smithsonian". If the
winner already has a
membership another suitable
membership will be selected. The
prizes will be awarded to 1. The
best made hat; 2. The guest who
can identify the most hats, and 3.
The Judges' Prize. Category 2 is
a contest. Therefore, as we are
making our hats we will not tell
others its source. Let everyone
guess.
Miss Phyllis Mable, Vice
President for Student Affairs and
Mr. Randall Edmondson,
Assistant Professor of Art will
judge the hats under the
chairmanship of Mr. Homer L.

Professor of Art.

ART FACULTY EXHIBIT
By MAURICE FRANCK
It is now, it is here! Eight
members of our faculty, from the
art department, are sharing their
work with us. Only a fool would
miss it. It's never too late. That
is, until the fourth of April.
Prior to the Sunday night
deadline, I was able to slip over to
Bedford and take in this exhibit.
Pattern form, texture, mysticism
— all observations on our world
portrayed only by the artist.
Observations of light and still
movement are protrayed in
photography and paint. Life
forms in jewelry reflect its origin
— from molten earth and formed
to man. Molten and formed.
Randy Edmonson's ceramics
show a true understanding of
glazing; likewise Eduard
Betenas' horizontal reliefs in
bronze and stone are reminiscent
of Bonzai garden craftsmanship.
Icons, including "Icon for
"1/20/48" (the date of Ghandi's
Death), represent Homer
Springer. His "Summer Hymn
for a Ck)untry Funeral," is a
delicacy of tintype photographs,
pressed flowers and old lace
resting poignantly in one comer
near Elisabeth Flynn's
architectural study of a West
Virginia highway. These works
mingle with a series of mud-
daubers on lattice-work,
corrogated and confirmed,
latered, wrapped, rolled, paper
pulp constructions by Barbara
Bi^op.
If somehow on the way in you
missed it, you will surely notice it
on the "My Marvelous Mystery
Box," a collection of "untapped
resources" by Jacque Wall of
primal masks, man made an
natural forms around native
puppets seemingly introducing us
to ourselves. We leave satisfied.

Lady Netters on Road
Longwood's women's tennis
team, coached by Carrol
Bruce, begins play at the
Emory & Henry Tournament
March 25-26. The young
Lancers, with two Juniors, one
sophomore and several
freshmen, will be trying to
improve Uieir fall record of 2-
8.
Barbara Cathey and Lisa
Barnes will be playing in the
top two positions in singles
and should also form the No. 1
doubles team for the Lancers.
They attended Suffolk High
School together and should
prove to be solid competitim
against any opposition. Terri
Justice was selected as team
captain and will play in the
No. 3 spot. Karen Croun will
compete in the fourth position
The remaining positions are
still in close competition
between freshmen Karen
Gardner, Anne Drumeller,
Alison Butler and
Cathy Morris. Morris and
Barnes are the only players
returning from the fall season.
Coach Bruce is looking
forward to the start of the
season. "We should have more
wins this year as our
competition is balanced well."
Bruce looks for the lower
positions to produce wins.
"We are a good balanced
team, so our bottom players
should do very well."
The Emory & Henry
Tourney will feature seven
teams with Randolph Macon
Woman's College being the
favorite. Joining with
Longwood in the tournament
are Averett, Ferrum, Lees-
McRae, Clinch Valley College
and LMU.
In looking ahead to the
season Bruce sees Hollins as
the premier team on the
schedule. Two other very
strong teams the Uuicers
encounter are William & Mary
JV and Bridgewater. The
latter half of the season
includes matches against

Southern Seminary, teams
which Bruce feels the Lancers
will be very competitive with.

Yet Moore states that "the
c(Hmnon achievement of both
artists is the degree of pathos
imbued in their works." He will
compare the ways Watteau and
Segal "create their respective
enigmatic visions."
At 2 p.m., Diane Scillia, of
Virginia Wesleyan College, will
discuss the series of 12
engravings executed by Israhel
van Meckenem just before 1500.
These works depict "contrasting
types of lovers (happy and
unhappy, licit and illicit),
suggesting that van Meckenem's
engravings illustrate various
aspects of amorous folly."
The final paper on the
Symposium program will be
given by Jerrie Pike, of VPI&SU,
at 2:30 p.m. She will discuss the
competitive bidding-contract
procedure used in ancient Rome
for the construction of new
architectural monuments and the

Longwood Literary Festival
From Classic to Contemporary
By DAVm S. AREFORD
During the sevaity years of his
life, writer John Cheever often
remarked that "Literature is the
highest form of communication
between intelligent adults." To
some this communication means
love, hate, ideas, theories,
explanations, abstractions ... the
list goes on and on, but it must be
agreed that all literature shares
with the world a part of its
creator's mind and his insight on
life. It is a communication
seldom shared in our every day
lives, in conversation or through
television or film. At its best, it is
an honest, unselfconscious
sharing of an intellect.
John Cheever's remark is
behind this year's organization of
Longwood's annual Literary
Festival sponsored by
liOngwood's literary magazine,
The Gyre. It promises to be a
sharing and communicating of
intellects through the medium of
literature in a variety of ways. A
tribute to John Cheever who died
this past June, will be included.
The Festival, April 3-7, will
open with the film version of John
Fowles' novel. The French
Lieutenant's Woman. The film,
co-sponsored by S-UN, stars
Academy A ward- winner, Meryl
Streep (who is up for another
Oscar this year) and Jeremy
Irons. It is a fascinating fihn, the
screen play of which was written
by playwright Harold Pinter. It
will be shown at 7 p.m. in Bedford
Auditorium on April 3 and 4.
Admission is only 50 cents.
On Tuesday, April 5, at 3:30
p.m., a dramatic reading of
Cheever's short story "The Death
of Justina" will be presented in
Wygal Auditorium with readers:
David Areford, Mike Foster, Jeff
Thomas, and Felicia Wilhoite.
This story is included in the
Pulitzer Prize-winning The
Stories of John Cheever. The
program wil) also include a
performance by the Camerata
Singers and soloists Gordon Parr
and Wanda Vincent. The three
pieces being performed are
poems by Walt Whitman, Robert
Frost, and W.H. Auden and have
been set to music by composers
Ned Rorem, Benjamin Britten,
and Randall Thompson. This
informal short program will last
only about an hour.
On Wednesday, April 6, at 8
p.m., the John Dos Passos Prize
for Literature will be presented
in Wygal to award-winning
novehst Robert Stone. The prize
is administered by Longwood
College and commemorates
writer John Dos Passos. The
prize is in the amount of $1,000.
Stone was bom in Brooklyn, New
York, and grew up in Manhattan.
He served in the U.S. Navy as a
journalist, lived in New Orleans
and San Francisco as an involved
member of the counter-culture,
and later worked as a foreign
correspondent in South Vietnam.
His first novel, the much
acclaimed, award-winning A Hall
of Mirrors, appeared in 1967, and
his shorter fiction has appeared
in New American Review,
Fiction and The Best American
Short Stories 1970. Another novel.
Dog Soldiers appeared in 1973
and his third novel, A Flag For
Sunrise appeared recently to the
same critical acclaim that
accompanied the preceding two
novels. A reading by Stone will be
included in Wednesday night's
program.
The Literary Festival will
conclude with a program of
readings on Thursday, April 7, at
8 p.m. in Wygal by Otis Douglas,
Katherine Stuart, and Toby
Thompson. Douglas, a Longwood
faculty member, and published
writer will read one of his short
stories. He teaches creative
writing and has organized the
writing workshop, at Longwood.
Stuart who teaches at Prince
Edward Academy will read from
her poetry. She has been
published in various literary
magazines such as Appalachian
Heritage, The Green River
Review, Roanoke Review and
The Hampden-Sydney Poetry
Review. She has participated in
many creative writing programs
at Longwood, University of
Board Announces
Hike
The Longwood College Board of
Visitors, in a special meeting on
March 25, approved an increase
in tuition and fees totaling 9.9
percent for Virginia students and
11.3 percent for out-of-state
students.
The new fee structure will take
effect for the 1983-84 academic
year.
The total cost for Virginia
students living in Longwood's
residence halls will be $3,925 for
the regular academic year
consisting of two semesters. This
compares with $3,570 for the
current year.
For out-of-state students living
in Longwood's residence halls,
the cost will be $4,675, up from
$4,200 this year.
Day students will pay $1,520 for
the academic year, as compared
with $1,394 for 1982-83.
Dr. Verna Armstrong, vice
president for business affairs,
said: "The increase in tuition and
fees is the minimum the College
needs to continue serving its
students. The increase in in-state
tuition (not counting room, board
and special fees) is 9.4 percent
from $850 to $930; last year it was
only 2.3 percent for a two-year
average of 5.9 percent. These
relatively low increases in tuition
reflect the continuing
commitment of the College to
contain costs while maintaining
the excellence of its programs so
that our students receive the best
education for the lowest feasible
tuition."
In other action, the Board
approved a bond resolution
pertaining to a routine financial
transactions related to
repayment of funds the College
borrowed from the State for
renovations.
•••*****•**
Virginia, Virginia
Commonwealth, University and
Radford University. Thompson,
also a Longwood faculty member
will be reading a narrative non-
fiction piece. Thompson has been
published in many magazines,
including The American Film
Magazine, Playboy and The
Village Voice and has written
three books. Positively
Mainstreet, Saloon, and The
Sixties Report. A reception will
follow and will provide an
opportunity to meet the writers
and discuss their work.
Hopefully, the variety of the
festival will help it appeal to
many people. An aim this year is
to expand the event so as to
attract a wider audience, not only
from Longwood, but also
Hampden-Sydney College and the
surrounding area.
Cheever, who often probed the
dark interiors of life, also
celebrated life in "A World that
hes spread out around us like a
bewildering and stupendous
dream." This year's Festival
plans to follow Cheever's
example.

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, March 29, 1983
Wilson at Willis
Archaeology Dig
The first time I met David
Wilson he was singing .38
Special's "Hold On Loosely" and
strumming on a single necked six
string guitar. If hindsight is
anywhere close to the proverbial
20 20 he was also sweating,
grinning, carousing, playing the
lead, and occassionally unless the
beer had totalled the better part
of my senses, swaggering.
That was about a year ago in a
friend of mine's cellar. The
basement band has since broken
up but David is still around
working a little overtime with a
violin and digging in dirt. If that
seems like a cultural paradox or
the first symptoms of regressing
personality then perhaps it is.
David wouldn't argue — slugging
a Budweiser and sliding a Mozart
theme across his violin strings,
he is apt to agree, nod his head
and utter with sardonism racing
across his face, "I'm just a
simple country boy."
I met him again last Thursday
for his latest venture into cultural
confusion, an archaeology trip
into the heart of Buckingham
County, specifically into the side
of a little geological oddity
labeled a Manadnok by
archaelogists, which in layman's
terms means simply, a rock that
doesn't erode fast. To the
Buckingham County folks, it is
just known as Willis Mountain.
This is where David drives 20
miles in a blue Impala and digs in
the dirt for rocks and glass. He
spends about 10 hours a week
doing that — kneeling down
under a rock shelter on the side of
Mount Willis, scraping Mother
Nature's birthday suit raw and
(—get this—) enjoying it.
"Put a quarter in and out
comes the lecture," he said as we
rode buckets bouncing, trowels
scraping and wheels turning
Dave WUson holding artifact from Buckingham Coimty cave.

towards the pinnacle of his latest
ambitions. Three other
volunteers were also in the car,
looking forward to a cold 4 hours
of backs bent and knees wet.
Up ahead Willis loomed like a
rising Gargoyle pedastalled on
the Buckingham plains. David
was participating in Longwood's
Summer Field Schools in
archaeology at Anna's Ridge
when he first noticed the
mountain's dark profile high
above the surrounding
landscape. "It seemed like an
obvious place for Indians to use
as a look out for defense ... if I
was an Indian back then I'd like
to go up there and take a look — it
would have seemed like the ideal
place for camping."
He bounced the idea around
with colleagues and friends
familiar with the area. Robert
Taylor told him of how
Confederate deserters
supposedly held up in Willis'
caves during the Civil War.
Natalie Jenkins remembered
finding bits and pieces of
projectile points at a place
named Woodson's rock shelter at
Mount Willis, and David, well, he
got a silly gleam in his eye, the
type of gleam usually associated
with mad artists flinging paint on
a canvas at 50 paces. Except the
distance in this case was a little
farther - about 2000-3000 years
B.C. to be specific. David could
still see them, they would be
Indians running half naked in
animal skins and tree bark,
watching what would become
Buckingham County spread out
before them like the fertile
crescent. Perhaps stampeding
animals through Indian gap and
ambushing them with projectile
points made sharp in one of the
shelters. Or maybe storing
materials up in the nooks of some
long forgotten crevice. . .
Natalie had taken David up to
Woodson's rock shelter on Willis
Mountain and within 20-25
minutes they discovered 2
projectile points and three other
pieces of stone tools. On the other
side of the mountain, the
Northern Peak, Dr. Jordan began
an archaeological survey that
summer and David
photographed and dug with the
school as 59 shards of pottery
were unearthed. Monacan Indian
pottery about 350 years old Dr.
Jordan hypothesized, was stored
there in case of hurried flight
from advancing English
colonists.
Woodson's rock shelter,
however, was still untouched.
Other possible sights were still
unknown and Willis Mountain,
both Dr. Jordan and David,
concluded could yield knowledge
of a past that Central Virginia
never knew. But the prognosis for
its survival wasn't good.
Dixon's Kyanite mine operation
owns Willis Mountain. And
kyanite has l)ecome chemical
gold for Dixon used in heat
shields for space rockets and
possibly to replace silicone in the
computer microchip industry.
The mine takes hunks of the
mountain away, hour by hour,
gorging into its peaks, stripping
the tops of its history into a
waiting silo leaving the mountain
gapped and pecked as if the
naked rock were a jagged line of
discontent.
David started the Bureaucratic
mills churning — first a
conditional use permit signed by
the owner of the land. Gene
Dixon, then a Virginia Research
Center for Archaeology site
survey form, then a geological
survey and then, down to tacks
setting up the grids in quadrant
working areas, and finally,
lowering the nose two inches
from the ground smelling the
earth and feeling its rough wet
edges as the trowel scrapes into
its sides.
Anthropology 490 is the official
title for what David is doing — a 6
credit independent study in
archaeology — find a site, work it
for a semester, give a
preliminary report to Dr. Jordan
on the findings and later perhaps
as much as a year or two later a
final report for the Virginia
Archaeological Journal.

Archaeology Dig
out from the side of the mountain
like an emptied chest cavity. It
began forming about 251 million
years ago during what is termed
the Appalachin Period. Vultures
have nested on the Southern peak
of Mt. Willis and as we
approached one or two of their
number arced slowly outward
catching the wind in their wings
silhouetting themselves black
against a cloudless sky.
Inside the shelter there is a
weird amalgamation of the past
and present. Broken Boone's
Farm Tickle Pink bottles, and
rusted Budweiser cans can be
seen stashed in a small nook
across from two surveyor's
names which have been chiseled
meticulously into the rock sides
of Woodson's interior. "R.
Balling, H. Bell 1709, P. Turpin
1769."
Lichen grows on its side adding
to the color of the quartz, kyanite
and pegmatite intrusions, which
keep the interior from having
that cold gray look. Graffiti adds
the rainbow effect - "Chip was
here" and in red paint — "KKK."
The monotony of the work was
inescapable. Trowels scraped the
site and red-handled picks dug
around possible artifacts while
paint brushes cleaned the few
that were found. The dirt was
accumulated in buckets which
would later be dumped through a
screen and shaken like a sieve
while wary eyes and fingers
checked for that special
something which makes it all
worthwhile.
One last find was made that
day. David found it screening his
dirt — a small arrowhead base
carved from the white quartz. He
guessed it was from the
Woodland period and dated it
between 900-1000 A.D. About the
same time period as the pottery
found at Dr. Jordan's site that
summer. "Not a bad day," he
said, "there have been better and
there have been worse." The best
was six projectile points found in
one hour. The worst, of course,
was none. That's difficult to
imagine, digging the earth for
five-six hours and not finding a
scrap of worthwhile evidence.
Perhaps the urgency of
Kyanite Mines working full tilt
against his time, eating up the
past before it can be understood,
drives David. Perhaps it's like he
said, all puns probably intended,
"Where else can I get six credits
for doing something I dig?"

Elder Chosen Miss Longwood
The hometown favorite won the
crown.
Robin Lynn Elder, a freshman
from Buckingham, was chosen
"Miss Longwood College"
Saturday night in a Miss America
preliminary in Jarman
Auditorium. She will represent
Longwood in the Miss Virginia
Pageant in July.
The Miss Longood title carries
with it a $1,000 scholarship
provided by McDonald's of
Farmville.
The first runnerup, recipient of
a $500 scholarship from Golden
Corral restaurant, was Kim
Short, a junior from Emporia.
Martha Sandidge, a junior from
Manassas, was second runnerup,
and Natalie Thompson, a
sophomore from Alexandria, was
third runnerup. All are Dean's
List students and-or members of
academic honor societies. Pam
Stanley, a senior from Char-
lottesville who grew up in
Cumberland, was chosen by the
other contestants as "Miss
Congeniality."
Some 40 contestants competed
in the preliminaries for the Miss
Longwood Pageant. Thirteen
finalists participated in the
Pageant Saturday night before a
near-capacity audience.
The new Miss Longwood, a
mathematics major, is a Dean's
List and honors student. She
plans to become a computer
programmer. Miss Elder is a
member of Alpha Lambda Delta,
an honor society for freshmen.
She is a Magna Cum Laude
graduate of Prince Edward
Academy, where she was a
member of the National Honor
Society and Who's Who Among
American High School Students.
At P£^ Miss Elder was a semi-
finalist in national forensic
competition, was named most
I outstanding female choral
member, had the lead role in the
Senior Play, played on the girls'
; basketball team and served as
Pep Club president.
She is 19, 5'7", with brown hair
and brown eyes.
For the talent competition.
Miss Elder sang "Sweet Virginia
Breeze." She was sponsored by
the Camerata Singers, of which
she is a member.
Miss Elder had to rehearse her
song in an unusual manner. "The
song wasn't available in sheet
music," she noted. "So, I called
Bobbin Thompson (leader of the
band that had recorded it) and
one of the keyboard men agreed
to record the song on a cassette in
the key that I wanted to sing."
Her father, Danny Elder, is
president of Elder Construction,
Inc., of Buckingham. Her
mother, Linda, is a kindergarten
teacher. She represents the
fourth generation of her family to
attend Longwood. Her mother,
grandmother and great-
grandmother also attended
Longwood.
"When my great-grandmother
went here, I think it was still
called the Farmville Female
Senunary," said Miss Elder.
How did it feel to win?
"I was numb at first," she said
Monday morning. "Then I felt
really honored. 1 teel thanktui to
all the people who helped me —
my friends, roommates,
suitemates and a lot of others. My
hostess, Cindy Parker, did a lot of
work."
Although she is accustomed to
being on stage. Miss Elder
admitted that she was nervous
during the competition.
"I don't usually get nervous.
I'm used to singing in front of my
church, competing in forensics
and playing basketball in front of
a lot of people ... I just like
getting on stage."
The judges, all of whom have
had many years of experience in
judging Miss America state and
local pageants, unanimously
chose Miss Elder as Miss
Longwood.
All of the runners-up were
singers in the talent competition.
Miss Short sang "Lady," Miss
Sandidge sang "Evergreen;"
and Miss Thompson sang
"Summertime." The other
talents included balletic dances
by three contestants, jazz dances
by two performers, a a flute solo,
dramatic comedy, gymnastics
routine and piano solo.
Miss Elder is looking forward
to the Miss Virginia Pageant,
which will be held in Roanoke
from July 12 to 16. "I'm really
going to work hard," she said.
"After the Pageant, the judges
were giving me advice on ways I
can improve. I asked them for
advice."
Special entertainment was
provided during the Pageant by
two Longwood music groups —
the Lancer Edition, a
choreographed show choir, and
the Jazz combo. Donal Lemish,
vice president for institutional
advancement, was master of
ceremonies for the 2*^-hour
program, which was titled "A
Touch of Class."

—Review —
The French
Lieutenant's Woman
Faculty Art Displayed
By MICHAEL LUND
"Is a pen a metaphorical
penis?" asked authors Sandra
Gilbert and susan Gubar in their
1979 book The Madwoman in the
Attic: The Woman Writer and the
Nineteenth-Century Literary
Imagination. The question was
not really a sorprising one for the
end of a feminist decade in which
traditional stereotypes were
routinely exploded.
Society confronted an idea,
which Gilbert and Gubar found to
be "all pervasive in Western
literary' civilization," that only
men, with their unique sexuality,
are capable of literary creation,
and thus of "authority" in a
variety of its meanings. As
Gilbert and Gubar traced the
effects of that tradition on such
famous Victorian authors as Jane
Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and
George Eliot, they were asserting
both a nineteenth-century
feminine creative force (in the
careers of these novelists) and a
twentieth-century one (in their
own literary criticism).
The movie of The French
Lieutenant's Woman (to be
shown as part of Longwood's
Literary Festival April 3 and 4)
draws on this same contrast
between the last century and our
own, as did John Fowles' 1969
novel which inspired the movie.
The advertisement for the
movie, featuring the alluring
image of Meryl Streep and the
phrase, "She was lost from the
moment she saw him," suggests
that we modems will be on
familiar (and comfortable)
ground in viewing: typical
Victorian woman, caught in the
confines of society's definition,
can break free only to her own
destruction. (The title of movie
and book also appears to
reinforce the formula.) But those
who have not yet seen the movie
will be challenged in two ways
( and those of us who have seen it
at least once before will find the
challenge more subtle than we
remember).
In the first place, it is the
Victorian man, played by Jeremy
Irons who is more trapped than
the Victorian woman (not simply
because of his culture, but
because of the remarkable
individual character of the
woman Streep portrays). The
gradual disintegration of his
security through the course of the
movie is a faithful and effective
extension of the familiar moral
plot in nineteenth-century fiction
(used by the novelist Fowles as
well). Viewers who are sensitive
to the historical context will find
no easy answer to his dilemmas.
In the second place, the movie
does not take place entirely in its
principal Victorian setting;
actors and actresses from our
own time move between two
worlds attempting to find a
footing in both or either. And in
the modem setting, even more
graphically, it is the woman m^o
comprehends and surmounts her
condition. Here most of all any
assertion that we are beyond
such "Victorian" confusions
becomes least convincing.
Whatever her biological destiny,
The French Lieutenant's Woman
writes her own history. Whether
the same can be said of us may be
seen in our response to the work
of art.
Recent work by all members of
the Loi^gwood College art faculty
is currently on exhibit in the
Bedford Gallery at the college.
The exhibit is a sophisticated
showcase of varied talents,
techniques, and interests.
Included are mixed media works,
paintings, pottery, photographs,
jewelry, and sculpture.
Mark Baldridge's contribution
to the exhibit is a collection of
handcrafted jewelry in silver and
gold. Included are rings of 14-
carat gold and sterling,
earrrings, and pendants in gold
with diamonds and titanium.
Eduard Betenas is showing a
group of small abstract
sculptures, several in marble and
several in bronze on shaped slabs
of poplar, wabut, and oak.
Barbara Bishop has utilized
handmade sheet formed, mould
cast, and poured cast papers to
create her "Earth Forms" and
other works. The colors are
beautifully subtle shadings of
earth tones.
Randall Edmonson has chosen
vivid primary colors against
neutral backgrounds for his
large, precision-painted
canvases. He also is showing an
earthenware raku pot, a
porcelain bowl, and two
stoneware bowls.
Elisabeth Flynn's photographs
include architectural studies of
ancient monuments, arches, and
walls in Greece and Rome; a
color still life of vegetables at a
market in Rome; the "Wine
Dark Sea" at sunset; and a fellow
"wandering photographer"
loaded down with cameras,
lenses, and tripod.
In his mixed media works,
Homer Springer combines
drawings and paintings in pencil,
ink and acrylic with an intriguing
variety of found objects. In
"Summer Hymn for a Country
Cemetery," he has combined a
pencil drawing of a country
church with old photographs, bits
of lace, dried flowers and
butterfly wings. His "Fifth
Reunion of the Keepers of the
Flame" includes four pencil-
acrylic studies based on an old
photograph of four young men.
He also is showing "icons" to St.
Nicholas and the Archangel
Gabriel, and an "Icon for
1 20 48" (the date of Gandhi's
death).
Jackie Wall is showing a rod
and hand puppel called "Dream
Bird," made of felt, feathers, and
styrofoam in electric shades of
pink and blue. Her other work,
called "Untapped Resources —
My Marvelous Magical Mystery
Box," is a head-high wooden box
containing Indian puppets,
smaller boxes in varying sizes
and shapes, feathers, a papier-
mache mask, fibers, and other
mixed media creations.
Carolyn Wells is showing
handcolored and high contrast
black-and-white photographs.
Subjects include scenes at Nags
Head, children, and an elderly
black woman.
The exhibit will remain in the
Bedford Gallery through April 3.
Gallery hours are: Monday
through Friday. 9 a.m. to noon
and 1 to 5 p.m. ; Saturday, 2 to 5
p.m.; and Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m.

Some educators relax a little
over the summer. But not
Jacqueline Wall. A Longwood
College art instructor, she is even
busier in the summer than during
the academic year.
"We keep the students busy
from morning until night, and
they keep us busy from morning
until night," Mrs. Wall, director
of one of the 1982 Governor's
Schools for the Gifted and
Talented, said recently.
Mrs. Wall, who will direct a
Governor's School at Longwood
again this summer, discussed her
experiences in a "Fireside Chat"
March 2 at Longwood House. In
these programs — which date to
the turn of the century — a
Longwood faculty member
addresses a selected audience in
an informal setting.
The audience of about 15
included Longwood President
Janet Greenwood, Longwood
faculty, prominent local citizens
and Rurik Ekstrom, a Richmond
architect who taught an
architecture class last year.
Last summer Longwood was
one of three colleges awarded a
Governor's School. About 150
rising high school juniors and
seniors, who were housed on
campus, participated in an
intensive four-week
interdisciplinary program
focusing on man's relationship to
his physical and spiritual
environment. The arts were
emphasized.
Longwood's program was the
first to use an interdisciplinary
approach and will serve as a
model for the two schools this
year, at Longwood and Virginia
Tech. Two-hundred students will
attend the Longwood program.
"What we had last year
was the beginnings of an
interdisciplinary program that
had an emphasis on hands-on,
practical experience," noted
Mrs. Wall, who was formerly art

director at the campus school.
Among the activities were an
archaeological dig at an early
Indian mound site, an
examination of the campus's and
town's architecture, and a study
of psychologist Carl Jung's
theories. Students composed
music, worked with computers,
wrote poetry and prose, and tried
improvisational acting. They also
produced a videotape narrating
their experiences.
"We're trying to get the kids to
take risks ... to think holistically
and to see that everything is
interconnected," Mrs. Wall
explained. "The Governor's
School is for people who are
problem-solvers, and who think
perceptually and with a global
consciousness. We're not just
after brains, but brains that have
an interest in artistic avenues."
She continued, "They were
allowed to challenge us and to ask
questions. But it takes time;
it's not an overnight thing.
You've got to gain their
confidence."
Under the Virginia Governor's
School program, which is entirely
state-funded, the content of each
program is up to the host
Institution. It is not designed to
provide an accelerated program
of high school study nor a
freshman college curriculum, but
rather, a unique educational
experience, according to Mrs.
Wall.
"It's for people who know
where they want to go, and why,"
she said.
SGA Open Forum
Editorial
By JEFF ABERNATHY
The Student Government
Association is planning a big
shindig for tomorrow night. Beer,
hotdogs, the whole bit while
"College Publications" (neatly
singled out was The Rotunda) are
(is) discussed at this so-called
ooen forum.
Many SGA members are
gleeful at the opportunity to
finally shut down the subversive
elements here at The Rotunda.
They are ready to stop the
printing of such pinko leftist
topics as nuclear arms, abortion,
and homosexuality to name a
few. Most nobly, they want to put
stories in The Rotunda which
really should be printed — i.e.,
yet another reprinting of
"Sunburst at Longwood", weekly
updates on the high quality of life
here at LC, and other such
wholesome,. morally uplifting
stories. They rejoice in the hope
that we shan't have to read
anything which might alarm
Mommy and Daddy, which may
present different ("radical")
ideas, or which might cause us to
be shaken to our firm, white,
middle-class roots. The
formation of a new publications
board, a board which includes the
Director of PubUc Affairs for
Longwood College, reflects these
ideas. Surely, nothing could be
better for us than to get a p.r.
influence working to redirect The
Rotunda — maybe, someday
soon, LC students can have the
overwhelming benefits of a
weekly propaganda report to
trash the dining hall with.
Forgive me for being
somewhat sarcastic. It's just that
I have this belief that all college
students should, if nothing else,
be open-minded. I see little open-
mindedness in the attitude which
some have toward The Rotunda.
Don't get me wrong — I believe
the changes in the past two years
have, as a wiiole, been good ones
for this college. This
administration has made strong
steps in the right direction, a
direction Longwood hadn't
known for a number of years
before Janet Greenwood had
heard of Longwood (much less
Farmville! ). Yet it can hardly be
said that we don't have our faults.
It cannot be seen as less than
responsible journalism for The
Rotunda to point out these faults.
Similarly, Uiough, we must try to
seek out the advances being
made.
I guess I've seen too many
Monday morning sunrises over
Farmville (not a terribly
inspiring sight after an evening of
rewrites and lay out), and I've
smoked too many Marlboros
trying to help put a paper out.
What's worse is the fact that I
haven't put a fraction of the time
into this newspaper which the
editor, assistant editor and
feature editor have.
Ergo, I hate to see people
complain about the staff of this
paper and not bother to do
anything about it but scream
"Damn that Joe Johnson!"
Many students and faculty have
closed their minds to the idea of
constructive criticism and
opened their mouths.
Publishing a weekly paper for
3000 students with a staff of five
can often lead to problems and
complaints, but complaining does
nothing for any of us while a little
positive thinking and acting from
students, faculty, as well as the
people who put together this
newspaper, would lead to a better
situation for all of us.
It's great that the SGA has
called for a "press conference" on
The Rotunda — it may well prove
to be a boon to all involved, but
any negative attitudes taken into
it will work to the detriment of
such a result. We'll accomplish
nothing if this forum is allowed to
be no more than an open shoot on
The Rotunda.
Your Turn
Dear Sir,
The article in the March 1 issue
entitled, "Overcoming
Gynecology Paranoia,"
contained much information
which I beUeve will be helpful to
students. There were two items,
however, that were inaccurate,
and I ask that you pubUsh this
letter in order to correct any
misunderstanding that may arise
among your readers.
First, the clinic is not
medically staffed with a
gynecologist, (physician who has
received four years of specialty scholarships,
training in gynecology), but fellowships,
staffed with a nurse-practitioner
who has received special training
in the medical conditions of
women. The nurse-practitioner
receives her medical back-up
from this writer, a physician but
not a gynecologist. Health
problems beyone our ability to
handle are referred for care to
specialized physicians.
Secondly, reference was made
to the placing and removal of
posters. There has not been a
need to publicize the clinic and
posters were never placed
around the campus during the -
present administration.
Thank you for your help in
clarifying these items.
Sincerely,
Sam Graham, M.D.
Director
Prince Edward
County Health Dept.
Dear Editor:
The Foreign & DOomestic
Teachers Organization needs
teacher applicants in all fields
from Kindergarten through
College to fill between five and
six hundred teaching vacancies
both at home and abroad.
Since 1968, our organization has
been finding vacancies and
locating teachers both in foreign
countries and in all fifty states.
We possess hundreds of current
openings and have all of the
pertinent information on
grants, and
The principle problem with
first year teachers is where to
find the jobs!
Our information and brochure
is free and comes at an opportune
time when there are many more
teachers than teaching positions.
Should you wish additional
information about our
organization, you may write the
Portland Oregon Better Business
Bureau or the National Teacher's
Placement Agency,
UNIVERSAL TEACHERS, Box
5231, Portland, Oregon 97208.
We do not promise every
graduate in the field of education
a definite position, however, we
do promise him a wide range of
hundreds of current vacancy
notices both at home and abroad.

Give Lecture
The final lecture in this year's
Faculty Colloquium series at
Longwood College will be given
by Dr. Paul Hesselink on
Wednesday evening, March 30, at
7:30 in Wygal Auditorium.
Dr. Hesselink, who is associate
professor of music at Longwood,
will speak on "The Harmonic
Language of Arnold
Schoenberg's Variations On A
Recitative for Organ, Op. 40: A
Preliminary Report." The
lecture is open to the public at no
charge.
The work that Dr. Hesselink
will discuss is Schoenberg's most
extensive composition written for
any solo instrument. Published
analyses of the work "present a
confusing picture," Dr. Hesselink
said, and "have largely neglected
the aspect of its harmonic
organization."
In his study of the work. Dr.
Hesselink used "pitch-class set
analysis procedures" to more
clearly define the composition's
harmonic structure. He adds that
this process has revealed "a
compositional methodology" that
had not been observed before.
Dr. Hesselink holds the
doctorate in musical arts from
the University of Colorado. He
has played numerous organ
recitals in the United States,
Canada, and England.
In the summer of 1981, he was
one of 27 American music
educators invited to participate
in a cultural exchange program
to the People's Republic of China.
He spent the first six months of
1982 studying in Paris.

Let's hear it for all those he-
man truckers who go to Wilkes
Lake and tear up the grass by
spinning out. Yurrrrr-sooooo-
baaaaad! ! Yes siree. Nothing
better for the good ole ego than
hopping in the Bronco and trying
to impress everybody out at the
lake by doing doughnuts and
tearing up the sod. Crank up the
Skynard and put the pedal to the
metal and make that dirt fly. You
know the girls will be impressed
when you throw out a beer bottle
and give a rebel yeU while your
blazing down the drive, making
your exit.
Actually, most people's
reactions to that are about the
same as how guys react to girls
who wear those preppy shorts.
They tell them they look great to
their face and then laugh behind
their backs. "Hey man! What did
you think of that patch I laid out
at Wilkes?" When you ask your
friend that at the party that night
you can be assured that while his
mouth is going "Yeah, that was
wild," his mind is going "You're
an asshole."
Well, I've got some news for you
Dukes of Hazzard spinoffs. The
next time somebody screws up is
going to be the last because if one
more person chews up the grass
or even drives out to the point,
which forms ruts because the
ground is so soft they're not going
to let people in there anymore. So
from now on if you have the urge
to show off your big machine, go
home and tear up your front
yard. And if you see somebody do
it, you'd better squeal for the
sake of all of us who have
legitimate reason to go to Wilkes.

SPORTS BRIEFS
LC Player of the Week
Junior leftfielder Sonny
Bolton who belted a grand
slam homer to pace the
Lancers over West Virginia
Tech March 13, has been
named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the
period March 11-18 by the
Longwood sports information
office.
"Sonny has provided us with
excellent overall play and
leadership early in the
season," said Longwood coach
Buddy Bolding. "He hit the
grand slam against West
Virginia Tech and also had
some big hits in our
doubleheader with Mount St.
Mary's."
The Lancers' RBI leader
with 11, plus a .310 batting
average, Bolton has helped
Longwood get off to a 6-3 start.
He has also played excellent
defense with no errors.
A member of the South
Atlantic Region All-
Tournament team last spring,
Bolton was team MVP and
finished up with a .379 batting
average, 15 doubles, 41 walks,
16 stolen bases and 31 RBI's.
He has been the Lancer
sparkplug from his lead-off
position in the batting order.
Sonny, who hit .394 in his
freshman season, earned a
third team All-Region spot
last spring.
Softball Season Opens
Longwood coach Nanette
Fisher will unveil her 1983
Softball team today when the
Lady Lancers host Virginia
for a twinbill starting at 3:30
on the Farmville Elementary
field. Fisher's team had been
scheduled to open play March
7 against Mary Washington,
but rain forced postponement
of the double header. The two
teams will play at Mary
Washington April 21 to make
up the contests.
With a number of veterans
back from last season,
Longwood is looking for its
third straight winning
campaign. The Lady Lancers
were 10-« in 1982 and 11-6 in
1981, the first year Longwood
fielded a softball team.
Lady Cager Recruited
Karen Boska, a 6-1 center
who played for Fort Hunt High
School in Alexandria,
Virginia, has signed to attend
Longwood in the fall and play
for the Lady Lancer cagers,
Longwood women ' s
basketball coach Jane Miller
announced today.
An AU-Gunston District and
All-Tournament selection,
Boska averaged 11 points and
nine rebounds per game for
Fort Hunt and coach Paul
Jansen.
Netters Stumble at H-SC
Longwood's men's tennis
team, which hosts Radford
Monday and plays at Mary
Washington Saturday,
dropped its second match of
the season Friday as
Hampden-Sydney took a 9^
victory on the Tiger courts.
The loss dropped Longwood's
record to 1-2.
Freshman Greg Douglas
and the doubles team of John
Todd and Bryan Kersey
played well in the loss.
Douglas at No. 2 singles and
Todd and Kersey at No. 1

Baseball Team Ranked Seventh
Longwood's basketball team,
the defending South Atlantic
Region champ, has been ranked
seventh in the first Division II
poll compiled by Collegiate
Baseball. The Lancers, now 8-4
after a rugged early schedule and
10 rained out contests, host
Virginia State for two Tuesday
and visit Division I Virginia Tech
Thursday in action this week. The
Division II top 25 was published
in the March 25 issue of
Collegiate Baseball.
Last week, Longwood fell to
Pittsburgh-Johnstown 4-1 and
defeated Randolph-Macon ft^.
The Lancers continued to get
strong pitching as the Longwood
hurlers have now tossed
complete games in 11 of the
team's 12 starts and seven times
in a row. With a team ERA of
3.26, the Lancer pitchers are off
to a terrific start in 1983.
In Saturday's win over
Randolph-Macon freshman
Glenn Mitchell tossed a seven-
hitter, struck out seven, walked
just one, and gave up but three
earned runs.
Mitchell also evened his record
at 1-1.
Hitting standouts for Longwood
were Roanoke natives Duayne
Kendrick and senior Dwayne
Kingery. Kendrick, a junior who
plays right field and designated
hitter, ripped a three-run double
in the fifth inning when Longwood
took an 8-3 lead. Kendrick is now
batting .571 after seeing action in
five games.
Kingery, a Division II Ail-
American last season, went two
for three with two RBI's and
raised his batting average to a
team high .324. The senior has
now driven in 13 runs. Freshman
Todd Thompson also had a
productive day at the plate, going
two for four with a double.
Friday, Longwood was unable
to get its bats going against Pitt-
Johnstown hurler Chris Cortazzo,
who pitched a three-hitter and
struck out five. Sophomore Allen
Lawter drove in the only
Longwood run with a single in the
second inning.
Pitcher John Dipierdomenico
lowered his ERA to 1.96, but saw
his record fall to 1-2 as the
Lancers were unable to back him
up at the plate. Dipierdomenico
scattered 11 hits and struck out
four while walking just one
batter.
Longwood's other pitching
standouts thus far have been
senior Mickey Roberts with a 2-0
record and a 1.38 ERA, freshman
DUANE KENDRICK
Scott Mills, 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA
and freshman Todd Ashby, 2-0
with a 2.57 ERA. The I^ancers
have given up just 32 earned runs
in 12 games.
Trailing Kingery among the
Longwood hitters is junior third
baseman John Sullivan with a
.316 batting average, six RBI's
and 11 runs scored. Sullivan
continues to make sparkling
plays in the field at the hot
comer.
Following the trip to Virginia
Tech Thursday, the Lancers will
resume play April 6, hosting
Norfolk State for two.
Kersey Named
All-American
Longwood's Jerome Kersey
received two big honors last week
when he was named to the third
team of the 1982-83 All-America
Division II squad announced by
the National Association of
Basketball Coaches and the
college division All-State team
picked by the Virginia Sports
Information Directors.
A three-year standout for the
Lancers, Kersey is only the
second Longwood basketball
player to be named an All-
American. The first was Kenny
Ford, a third team pick in
Division III in 1980 by BasketbaU
Weekly.
Kersey, a 6-7, 220 pound junior,
averaged 14.6 points and 10.8
rebounds during the past season,
helping Longwood compile a 15-10
record. A native of Clarksville,
Virginia, Kersey led Longwood in
rebounds (270), blocked shots
(42), steals (71) and dunks (22),
while ranking second in assists
with 77. The power forward has
1,228 points, 779 rebounds and 161
assists so far in his college
career.
Nicknamed THE COBRA,
Kersey was a pre-season small
coHege All-America pick by
Street & Smith's in the fall and a
second team All-South Atlantic
Region choice several weeks ago.
He earned first team All-Region
honors as a sophomore.
Kersey, who has a career field
goal percentage of over .590, has
been named to six All-
Tournament teams in three
years.

Bolding Named To
Poll Committee
Longwood baseball coach
Buddy Bolding is one of
approximately 25 coaches and
sportswriters from around the
country who was picked early
this month to serve on the poll
selection committee for
Collegiate Baseball newspaper's
Division II baseball poll.
Bolding, who guided Longwood
to a 31-10-1 record, a regional title
and a berth in the NCAA Division
II world Series last season, is one
of several coaches from the South
Atlantic Region of Division II
who will be providing input for
Collegiate Baseball's poll.
According to Lou Pavlovich,
Sr., Editor and Publisher of
Collegiate Baseball, Bolding was
chosen for the committee after
being named South Atlantic
Region Coach of the Year for
1982.
"We try to pick a cross-section
of coaches from around the
country," said Pavlovich. "We
pick the region coaches of the
year from the previous season as
part of the 25 or so people on the
committee."
The first Division II poll for
1983 was published last week,
with the Lancers ranked seventh.
Longwood was ranked fifth in the
final poll for 1982.
Collegiate Baseball, which is
published from January through
June on a regular basis has a
circulation of about 11,000. The
official publication of the
American Baseball Coaches
Association and the United State
Baseball Federation, Collegiate
Baseball is published once in

Lancers Land Top Recruit
One of the finest high school
soccer players in the state of
Pennsylvania, midfielder Brian
Stum of Waynesboro, has signed
to attend Longwood College and
play for Coach Rich Posipanko's
NCAA Division II state champion
program.
Stum, who scored 16 goals and
added 11 assists as a senior, was
a member of the prestigious
Maguire Cup Team for his
region. In addition, he was MVP
in the Blue Mountain League,
All-League, All-State and All-
Mid-Atlantic and captain at
Waynesboro High School two
years. In 1981, Stum was named
to the Pennsylvania State Team
under 16 and the All-Region
team.
"Brian will be an excellent
addition to our team," said
Posipanko, Mid-Atlantic Region
Coach of the Year in 1982. "He
has the ability to step in and play
for us as a freshman, and
considering the kind of talent we
have coming back that says a lot
about how good he is.
Longwood, 15-4-1 last fall, won
the state small college
championship in only its sixth
year of intercollegiate soccer.
Lady Ne Iters Tie
For Second
Longwood's women's tennis
team got its spring season off to a
strong start Friday and Saturday
with a second place tie in the
Emory & Henry Tournament.
Junior Lisa Barnes won the
individual title in number 2
singles for the Lady Lancers.
This week, the Lancers host
Bridgewater Thursday at 3:00
and the William & Mary junior
varsity team Friday at 2:30.
Emory & Henry won its own
weekend tournament with 48
points while Longwood tied
Lincoln Memorial (TN) for
second place with 22 points.
Ferrum, with 8 points, was
fourth, Averett was 7 was fifth
and Clinch Valley was sixth with
one point.
Four Longwood netters
advanced to the finals in singles.
Barnes won three pro-set
matches to claim the crown,
triumphing 10-9 on a 7-2
tiebreaker in the final match. No.
1 Barbara Cathey advanced to
the finals but lost a 10-8 decision
to Lenhart of Emory & Henry.
Number five Heather Gardner
and Number 6 Cathy Morris also
reached the finals, but lost their
chaflipionship matches.
Longwood did not fare as well in
the doubles.
"I'm extremely pleased," said
Coach Carrol Bruce. "We got a
trophy for finishing second. It's a
great way to start off the
season."
Lacrosse Team Falls to Macon
Season Opener Shows Potential
By JUDY PAINTER
With only four starters-
returning from last season,
Longwood's lacrosse team fell to
Randolph-Macon 16-12 in its
season opener in Ashland Friday,
despite five goals from freshman
standout Sue Groff.
"We looked good on offense,"
said Coach Jane Miller, "but our
inexperience showed. We made
too many turnovers to beat a
veteran outfit like Macon.
Considering it was the first game
I thought we did pretty well. We
learned what we have to work on
most."
Groff had a super game, with
three assists added to her five
goals. Junior Rala Heinen added
four goals, Lisa Seivold two and
Ellen Cykowski tallied one.
Next up for the Lady Lancers is
a game at Sweet Briar Saturday
at 2:00. The first home contest is
scheduled April 6, when
Richmond visits for a 3:00 tilt.
Moving from AIAW Division III
to NCAA Division ii this season,
the Lady Lancers are shooting
for an at-large berth in the NCAA
Div. II Tournament.
Last year's team placed third
in the VAIAW Div. Ill State
Tournament, but there will be no
state tournament this season.
Coach Jane Miller's team ended
up the '82 season 7-4-1 overall and
7-2-1 against Division III
opponents.
"Even though this is a
rebuilding year (having lost eight
of 12 players from last year's
starting lineup), I am very
excited about this season," said
coach Miller. "We have a good
group from last year's second
team and four new players who
have played high school or club
lacrosse."
Veterans Mindy Alhnan and
Terry Chumley are expected to
head up the defense, while Lisa
Seivold, Cherie Stevens and Ellen
Cykowski will be expected to lead
the offense.
1983 LONGIjnOD LACPOSSE
Freshman Sue Groff scored

Soviet Union
"Nationalities in the Soviet
Union" is the topic of a lecture by
Dr. Michael H. Haltzel,
Longwood College's vice
president for academic affairs,
on Tuesday evening, March 29, at
7 : 30 in the Bedford Auditorium on
the Longwood campus.
The lecture, sponsored by the
college's department of history
and government, is open to the
public at no charge.
The Soviet Union is a country of
over 100 distinct nationalities
among its population of nearly
270 million. These groups range
in size from the 138 million
Russians to peoples of the
Siberian Far North that number
only a few hundred individuals.
Recently, the rapid population
growth of the Muslim
nationalities of the USSR,
especially in Soviet Central Asia,
plus expressions of nationalistic

Movie Break
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
It is a well known fact that
Spring Break is a time when
many a dedicated college student
heads down that long ribbon of
highway that leads to Florida and
premature wrinkles. It is a lesser
known fact that there are a few
students who have neither the
funds nor the desire to make such
a trek, and who seek fun and
relaxation in some other area of
the globe. j
was able to see several films that
have eluded me in the past and
also a few that I had never heard
of, but still promised to be, at
least, mildly entertaining. Here
is a list of those I saw and my
personal opinion of each, in hopes
that it will be of some help next
time you are trying to decide
what movie to go see.
GALLIPOU - a film directed
by Peter Weir about Australian
soldiers in World War I. The
screenplay, directing, acting and
photography are exceUent. A
superior film in every way.
GANDHI — a second time for
me. This time, all of the minor
problems I saw the first time
were even more obvious and
painful Ben Kingsley is excellent
as Gandhi, but director Richard
Attenborough could do with a bit
more restraint.
LORDS OF DISCIPLINE an
interesting story, but absolutely
the worst photography I've seen
in several years.
THE WEAVERS, WASN'T
THAT A TIME! - a
documentary about the reunion
of this famous singing auartet. 1
bought a lot of folk albums after
seeing this one.
DAS BOOT — a very well made
German film concerning the Nazi
U-boat campaign in World War
II. There are now two versions of
this fiUn: the original German
version with English subtitles,
and a newer, more American
version re-titled THE BOAT and
containing the English over-
dubbed soundtrack. I saw the
German version, which most
critics say is the one to see. The
musical score for this film is
especially good.
SOPHIE'S CHOICE — based on
the novel of the same name, this
film has received more than its
share of Oscar nominations,
including Meryl Streep's bid for
Best Actress. Kevin Klein also
gives a very fine performance.
LOOKING TO GET OUT - a
little known 1982 film by Hal
Ashby, starring John Voight (of
COMING HOME fame) and Burt
Young (who played Paulie in
ROCKY I, H, and IH). Voight and
Young play a couple of New York
con men who flee to Las Vegas
and proceed to cook up a very
interesting gambling affair with
a local sharpy. A very nice film.
NASHVILLE - without a
doubt, the strangest movie I have
ever seen. By examining the lives
of 24 people over a five-day
period, director Robert Altman
takes a shot at everything from
country music to political
assassinations. The film stars the
likes of Lily Tomlin, Henry
Gibson, Keith Carradine, and
Karen Black, who all give very
good performances. If anyone
can explain this fihn to me,
please contact me right away.
All in all, these movies made
my Spring Break very enjoyable,
but they probably won't compare
to what this summer has in store.
Be on the look-out for
SUPERMAN III, and THE
RUTURN OF THE JEDI. the
latest chapter in the STAR WARS
saga. Also worth watchinf for in
the near future are THE BLACK
STALLION RETURNS, THE
OUTSIDERS and SAVANNAH
SMILES. 1983 is already proving
to be a better year for films than
1982.

SG A Open Forum on The Rotunda
By MIKE LYNCH
"Ludicrous." "Embarrassing."
Many Longwood students were
not entirely pleased with the past
Rotunda issue on drugs. One group
of students was so displeased by
the tarnished implication to the
school's image put forth by the
Rotunda's special drug issue that
they approached Phyllis Mable,
the Vice President for Stuaeni
Affairs, asking for a way to put a
stop to all this negative material
dispersing from the student
paper.
"A group of students was
standing out in the Rotunda and
they trooped into my office (after
reading the drug issue), Mable
told The Rotunda, 'I told them
the Student Activities Fees
Committee allocates money (to
the paper) and is responsive to
the President. They could
recommend to the SAFC that
they withdraw the paper's funds.
Or they could talk to the SGA."
From Mable's office the peeved
students caught up with Trisha
Boyle, SGA President, who
subsequently brought the
proposal before the Student
Senate for consideration. "A
group of concerned students
came to us and said that they had
some negative feelings about the
paper and would like to put (the
proposal) in action," Boyle said.
"It went to the administration
before it came to us. And the
administration passed down to us
that we promote their proposal of
taking away the student
activities fees. At a Student
Senate meeting of March 2, we
voted to oppose the proposal."
Instead, the SGA set up an
Open Forum, which took place
last Wednesday for informal
discussion relevant to the
problems of The Rotunda. A
handful of the Student Senate was
present along with a few
Longwood Ambassadors whom
the SGA had asked to attend.
They were joined by some
students and a few faculty
Don Winkler, Director of
Public Affairs, addressing the
crowd in Jeffers at the Open
Forum.
members all with the purpose of
discussing The Rotunda. The
entire editorial staff of The
Rotunda was present to justify
the paper's position.
The first hour of the forum
went fairly smoothly with
legitimate complaints and
suggestions to Rotunda editor,
Joe Johnson, being
acknowledged and illegitimate
ones being ferreted out
gracefully. Particular objects of
discussion were the accuracy of
facts in the more controversial
issues, sensationalism, fair
representation of campus groups,
writing style and the numerous
typographical errors that have
appeared.
The basic argument was that
the paper is sent to other schools
and shown to prospective
students and their parents.
Objectors to the paper's method
pointed out that The Rotunda is
taken by these people to be a
representative of Longwood
College as a whole. It hurts the
chances of getting students and
money into the college when the
campus newspaper is so
negative. Of particular concern
at this .stage were the two most
ominous articles of the paper, the
drug issue and Running Scared.
Johnson justified the printing of
the article on Walt, citing the
harassment he was receiving at
the time.
Accusations towards the drug
issue did not have so much to do
with the subject as they did with
the sensationalism. Why, people
asked, were so many articles on
the same topic printed in one
issue? Johnson countered that
that edition of the paper was
meant to be that way. It was a
special issue, largely devoted to
the campus drug scene.
David Areford made quite an
interesting presentation when
accusations of the paper being
totally negative were brought up.
By simply going through each of
the year's Rotundas and stating
the top story of each paper,
Areford showed that such
accusations of negativism are a
falsehood. In fact, only two of the
last 18 editions of The Rotunda
displayed negative front page
stories. Running Scared and
Longwood or Bongwood.
The tone of the meeting started
to change during the last half
hour and the reason for the
Publications Board
By JOHNEL BROWN
"The publications board is a
practice in hypocrisy," said
Joe Johnson, current editor of the
Routnda, referring to
Longwood's new publication
board, which will have its first
meeting April 6 from 1 : 30 - 3 : 30 in
Longwood's board room.
"What we're seeing established
at Longwood is an organization
consisting of 7 members, 4 of
whom have vested interest in
making sure Longwood has a
good pubhc image. To have such
a body functioning in a ruling
capacity over student
publications can only lead to
trouble." The new board which is
the brain child of Phyllis Mable,
Vice-president of Student Affairs,
has actually "been on the books
for a number of years." But Miss
Mable pointed out "it just has not
been functioning ... it should
have been functioning all along."
The difference between the
original and new board is the key
to controversy which has student
editors of publications at
Longwood steaming. In the
constitution of the original board
membership was held by "the
editors-in-chief and the business
managers of the publications, the
faculty advisor for the
publications and four student
members selected at large and
appointed by the senate (of the
Student Government
Association), plus the treasurer
of the senate and the director of
Public Affairs."
The membership of the new
board, all of whom were selected
by Phyllis Mable are Ronnie
Brown, Sports information
writer, Becky Dunk, Sports
information writer, Nancy Lang
Communication chairman for
SGA, Robin Elder, winner of the
Miss Longwood Pageant, Don
Winkler, director of Public
Affairs, Douglas Young, Drama
professor and Amy Poore.
Phyllis Mable said "lay people

-*— Coming Events-^
Robert Stone to be Awarded Dos Passos Prize
Longwood College has
announced the award of the 1982
John Dos Passos Prize for
Literature to novelist Robert
Stone.
The Dos Passos Prize,
established in 1980 at Longwood,
includes a medal and a cash
award of $1,000. It
commemorates one of the
greatest of 20th century
American authors by honoring
other writers in his name. The
winner is chosen by an
independent jury appointed by
the College each year.
The prize marks the most
recent recognition of the work of
the Brooklyn-bom Stone, who has
also been recipient of the William
Faulkner Foundation Award for
"notable first novel" in 1968 for A
Hall of Mirrors, and the National
Book Award in 1974 for Dog
Soldiers. He published his third
novel in 1981, again to critical
acclaim.
In addition to fiction, Stone has
written journalism and the
screenplays to two of his novels:
"WUSA" (adapted from A Hall of
Mirrors), Paramount, 1970, and
"Who'll Stop the Rain" (adapted
from Dog Soldiers), United
Artists, 1978.
The 44-year-old Stone has been
hailed as one of the finest writers
of his generation. Raymond
Sokolov wrote that "Stone, of all
the new writers, has gone
farthest into the other America
and the dark side of his own
mind."
Stone's themes are as broad as
his experience. He traveled with
Ken Kesey's merry pranksters
during the 1960s, and covered the
war in Vietnam as a reporter.
From these disparate
experiences came backdrops to
the construction of his first two
novels.
Hugh L. Moore wrote of A Hall
of Mirrors that "no recent novel
has more contemporary
relevance nor more radical
themes." Nonald Newlove
summed up the novel's main
character, Rheinhardt, as "a
matchless juicehead, an
unregenerate rogue genius of the
bottle, a 29-year-old alky-and-
pothead disc-jockey who is the
soul of the hip '60s, shipwrecked
in Dixie."
Moore called Stone's view of
modem society "a profoundly
pessimistic one." A writer for
Time said, "Stone's theme is the

inextricable grip of the under-

Stone turned to the world of
drugs for his second novel. Dog
Soldiers. It is the story of a naive
American journalist in Vietnam
who smuggles heroin into the
U.S. and involves his wife and an
unknowing friend in a harrowing
attempt to sell the narcotic. P.S.
Prescott called the novel "part
melodrama, part morality play"
and added, "It is a world in which
innocence or vestigal remnants
of decent behavior prove fatal to
their owners ..."
For his third novel, A Flag for
Sunrise, Stone tumed to the
Central America of the 1970s. An
imaginary country, Tecan, is its
setting, and revolution its theme.
The novel is a serious look at
America's obsession with

The Thorn Birds
Movie Survey Results
By CINDY CORELL
The television mini-series was
introduced to audiences with the
famed "Roots," and the T.V.
form was just as successful with
the following "Rich Man, Poor
Man," "Shogun", "The Winds of
War," and most recently, "The
Thorn Birds", the most
successful so far. This is a young
form of the entertainment media,
holding well to its own with sky-
rocketing ratings everytime it
spends a week on network
television, aiding network
T.V.'s battle against the oh-so
dangerous pay-T.V.
When the newest mini-series
dictated ratings the last week of
March, it spanned four
generations of a family in
Australia while sweeping over
ten hours of prime time ABC.
"The Thorn Birds" was watched
by viewers before 59 percent of
the television sets in the United
States.
Not only did "The Thorn Birds"
make a name for itself in the book
form, a novel by Colleen
McCullough, and as a record-
breaking mini-series, it also was
known for its unique plot. In the
story, a young priest. Father
Ralph deBricassett, in a parish in
New South Wales, Australia, has
as a parishoner, Mary Carson,
the wealthiest woman in
Australia. There, he meets
Mary's young niece, Meggie,
then ten. This meeting begins a
relationship destined to affect the
two for the rest of their lives.
Throughout the story Father
Ralph falls more and more in
love with Meggie each time he
sees her, and he feels his vow of
celibacy threatened and finally
consumed by their love.
This threat and vow breaking
brings to light questions about
this vow, and other
characteristics which make
Catholic priests men of mystery,
as well as reverence. This topic
came flying to the news media
soon after the program was first
aired. ABC's "Night Line", and
other similar news programs
grabbed the topic and tossed the
positives and negatives of the
issue around on the air. But as
Father Andrew M. Greeley, a
professor of Sociology at the
University of Arizona, and a
noted novelist wrote in his article
for T. V. Guide, "Do Priests Fall
in Love? Of Course, They Do,"
viewers may have missed tow
important points in this mini-
series: 1) "It is very unlikely that
the novel would have been such a
success if a priest had not been
the central character in the
romantic tragedy," and 2)
"Father Ralph's worst sins were
not of the flesh, but of the spirit —
ambition and insensitivity."
This fascinating plot probably
greatly encouraged the 59
percent of the T.V.'s to be tuned
to ABC these four nights, despite
any discomfort some may have
found in the subject. David
Wolper and Stan Margulies, who
began their success and the mini-
series with their production of
"Roots", led this production also.
Carmen Culver wrote the
screenplay, strong, and yet
relatively like the book. Daryl
Duke's direction is seemingly
faultless. It moves just right,
holding interest to the story, the
character's motives, and noted
historical happenings.
The casting isn't quite as
perfect, but when it's good, it's
great! Richard Chamberlain is
an extraordinary Father Ralph,
and Bishop Ralph, and Cardinal
Ralph. During this, it's
impossible to find a trace of Dr.
Kildare or Count of Monte Christo
in Chamberlain's act, though
they too were strong characters
in Chamberlain's career.
Jean Simmons plays Meggie's
mother, a cold forbidding woman
whose experiences have played
an evil game of cause and effect
with her life. In the end, her
character is complete when she
finally reaches out to save
Meggie the same fate.
Christopher Plummer also puts
in good performances as Arch
Bishop Vittorio, who looks after
and into Father deBricassert.
Sydney Penny is a delightful
young Meggie. Her character is
not wanting from her
performance.
The casting goof came with
none other than the lead, though.
Rachel Ward, a British model
turned actress gave talented
performances in her major films
"Sharkey's Machine," and
"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid,"
but she has come to her limits in
"The Thorn Birds." Sydney
Penny played young Meggie with
vivaciousness that could charm
a priest, all in keeping with
exoeriences we as the audience
know she has had, but when she is
transformed to grown up Meggie,
what happened? Young Meggie
went upstairs to get dressed for a
party one night, and came
floating down with a petulent look
on a Cover Girl face and a
misplaced English accent. She
outgrew all she was in the
transformation.
"The Thorn Birds", may sound
like a concentrated Harlequin
Romance with a hot issue plot,
perhaps it was. But 59 percent of
the T.V. sets last Sunday through
Wednesday night tell the story
well.

Patti Pascole
APRIL 13-27
By FRED W. CAMPBELL
Some of you may remember an
article of mine that appeared
several weeks ago in which I
offered a somewhat sad excuse
for not reviewing the Walt Disney
classic PETER PAN. In this
same article, I also called for the
Longwood College student body
and faculty to voice their own
movie opinions by sending in a
list of their favorite and least
favorite motion picutres. Those
of you who remember that article
may also be wondering what
became of the results of that little
survey.
One of the first and most in
depth responses I received was
from Dr. David James, who
turned out to be, like myself, a
hopeless movie fanatic. Some of
his favorite fihns include such
titles as Citizen Kane (he called it
"the movie about the dark side of
the American character) and
Casablanca (what he calls "the
movie about the bright side of the
American character").
More faculty response came
from Dr. Lund, who likes Reds, A
Man For All St^asoiuj, and Thp
Graduate; Dr. Sprague, who
counts Cabin In The Sky as her
favorite and Friday The 13th as
her least favorite; and J. A.
Hardy, who likes Fatten, The
Sound of Music, and Star Wars,
and dislikes Blazing saddles. An
interesting view came also from
Dr. Cook, who likes Picnic and
Nashville.
The student response was as
varied and unique as the
faculty's. Bill Todd, a Longwood
senior, names Cool Hand Luke,
The Verdict, and Das Boot as
three of his favorites, and The
Rose and Reds as some of his
least favorites. Mary Ruth
Shields thinks Quadrophenia is a
good film and considers smokey
and the bandit "a read dog."
Other student favorites include
E.T., And Justice For All, The
Grapes of Wrath, The Parallax
View, The Rose, and Halloween;
while other "dogs" included
Dressed To Kill, Wolfen, The
Greek Tycook, Victor, Victoria,
and Jaws II.
Even though the scant response
to my little survey was expected,
it was still a bit surprising.
A solution to my
problem came from Dr. Lund,
who said that to ask people to
name their favorite and least
favorite movies is also asking
them to review and evaluate their
lives, which is something most
people don't like to do. What
more can be said?
Chris Sizemore : One Eve in Review
Cats have nine lives. That's
eight up on most humans.
However, Chris Sizemore, a very
human middle aged woman, has
13 lives on the cat. That's 22 lives.
If the numbers are confusing they
should be. If the concept is
perplexing remember that truth
is stranger than fiction and the
truth is Chris Sizemore has had
more lives than an untouchable
reincarnated to a Brahamn.
She was at Longwood March 24,
lecturing to a packed Jarman
Auditorium on her experience as
a multiple personality. She is the
"Eve" of the popularized book
and fihn "The Three Faces of
Eve," a fact that Chris does not
want soon forgotten. She has
recently (1977) published her own
book and the title I'm Eve tells
something of the personality
which spoke that Thursday night.
"In the time frame of three
months I saw a man drown . . .
my mother's arm severely cut . . .
a baby's coffin, and a man sliced
in half at a lumbermill." She split
like the man chopped in half,
developing one of the most unique
defense mechanisms ever
conjured from the human psyche
— she became another person.
Literally "... I know she was
there ... I saw her . . . She had the
skinniest legs and the knobbiest
knees ... her hair was cropped
short, just below the ears ... She
had on a straight sleeveless dress
and wore an old, shapeless
sweater . . . she was real. I know
it." She was Chris, taking up for
Chris. She was one of the 22
"Eves" which peeled away from
Chris's personality like onion
skin. She was the first in a long
line, during her 40 years of
multiple personalities.
It's difficult to imagine the 57-
year-old woman that appeared on
Jarman 's stage wearing a formal
suit, pearls and broach as
the end result of such an
experience. She looked, as one
student observed "like anybody's
grandmother on her way to a
bridge club." But appearances
are fooling and Chris, though she
may not look or act the part, has
had a tempestous existence.
She has been painter and poet,
blind and virginal, obsessed with
the color purple and
strawberries. She has been
beaten and has tried to commit
suicide. She has tried to strangle
her daughter, Taffy, with a
Venetian blind cord.
It was the last incident which
led her into treatment at the
psychiatric ward of the Augusta
University Hospital. Dr. Thigpen
and Dr. Cleckly, her psychiatrist,
originally diagnosed her as a dual
personality. An under estiment,
to be sure, but still the right idea.
"They helped me enormously"
said Chris.
Throughout the therapy,
techniques ranging from
hypnosis to role playing were
used. Fascinating discoveries
were made. One of her
personalities would be allergic
and the other's wouldn't. One
personality could be given a
tranquilizer which didn't affect
another. At times Chris could
perceive herself as a 21-year-old
darling, running through the
daisy fields and within minutes a
179 lb., 58-year-old woman. IQ's
would alternate between
personalities from a 115 IQ to a
165 IQ. Arthritis would strike the
aged Chrises and not even be
known to the youthful.
Personalities wrote notes to each
other, talked to each other and at
times, died with one another
while Chris, the bod" Chris, lived
on. She was an excit u ', story. Dr.
Thigpen and Dr. ClCi kiy decided
to cash in on their patient.
Chris left the two psychiatrists
"under the impression she was
well." And Dr. Thigpen and
Clerkly started the mills grinding
on a book they were thinking of
writing entitled The Three Faces
of Eve. Chris, however, was not
well and her personalities
fragmented again and again in
groups of three, like toothpicks
out of pine. She found that other
psychiatrists didn't believe her
story. They assumed Chris had
simply read the accounts of the
spectacidar multi-personality,
Eve, which had been recently

advisors were no longer included
on the board, Mable said "to
include editors on a publications
board would be a conflict of
interest." The editors of the
publications at Longwood will be
allowed to attend all board
meetings in an "exofficio"
capacity.
"What that means," said Joe
Johnson, "is that we get to stand
and twiddle our thumbs while
rulings on standards and
procedures are handed down by a
board consisting mainly of people
who function in Public Affairs,
Sports Information or a similar
capacity, people who
want to make damn
sure Longwood is always
represented in the best light.
Such a membership will go a long
way toward compromising any
objectivity that a publications
board should have, and it follows
any objectivity that an editor
serving under such a board will
have."
Johnson continued, "The
constitution of the old board
which had editors voting, faculty
advisors voting and student
representatives selected by SGA
voting, allowed for more student
control and a greater balance
between those who would cry foul
over a controversial story and
those who would be willing to go
with it."
The editor pointed out that in a
review of publication boards at 12
Virginia colleges only three were
found that did not include the
editors or their advisors as voting
members on the board. They
were the University of
Richmond, Randolph Macon
College and Randolph Macon's

Editorial
Dear Mr. Editor,
I am writing in reference to the
editorial written by Jeff
Abernathy in the March 29th
Rotunda. Unfortunately, I know
that Mr. Abernathy speaks for
the majority of The Rotunda
staff. I am also aware that his
view is extremely defensive, one-
sided, and critical.
Contrary to the view taken by
many Rotunda staff, the whole
college is not out to get or control
the newspaper. Creating a battle
ground between The Rotunda and
the college community will not
recruit new staff members or
drum up support.
Mr. Abernathy apparently
misunderstands the concepts of
"responsible journalism."
Blowing issues out of proportion,
indulging in sensationalism,
misrepresenting situations,
misquoting, printing old news
without identifying it as such, and
distorting articles by poor editing
are offensive to any intelligent
reader of The Rotunda and
cannot be attributed to lack of
staff. Could the staff find more
time to cover Lonewood issues of
interest to the students if they
did not spend time interviewing
unemployed derelicts living in
condemned houses as a reporter
did in an earlier issue?
As Art Editor of the Gyre, I too
am responsible for the quality of
the publication I produce with an
extremely small staff. I refuse to

Greenwood's interviews in that
paper), I would think that the
establishment of this board is a
method of safeguarding the
colleges manicured image by
selecting editors whom they
know will spout the college line."
Phyllis Mable said that the new
publications board will have 3
functions. 1) It will select the
business manager and editors of
pubhcations (also reserving the
right to replace them)
2) It will establish a guide of
ethics and standards for each
student publication and 3) It will
assure that the publications have
adequate financing and also look
into the possibility of future
editors receiving pay or credit for
their position. None of which do

there would be "No prior

THE ROTUNDA
Page 5
Dr. William R. Harbour is an
Assistant Professor of
Government at Longwood
College. His first book, The
Foundations of Conservative
Thought: An Anglo-American
Tradition in Perspective,
explains the basic principles of
conservatism and how these
principles are applied in
practice.
Following is a Rotunda
interview with Dr. Harbour:
Rotunda: What prompted your
interest in conservatism?
Harbour: I was always
interested in the topic. When I
was a freshman in high school I
saw Meet The Press with Barry
Goldwater and I thought that was
interesting. I started to follow his
campaign for the presidency in
1964. Since then I've been
interested in the topic of
conservatism.
Rotunda: Is your book meant
as a defense of conservatism?
Harbour: It's meant as a
sympathetic explanation. I try to
be fairly objective in so far as I'm
able to be objective on the
subject. I try to assess the main
principles but also the main
problems. I try to point out some
obstacles I think that
conservative thinkers have to try
to overcome. Basically, I tried to
produce something that would be
informative to the students and
the general public as far as what
are the main things that
conservatives stand for, why do
they believe these things, and are
these beliefs consistent. I try to
explore both the internal
problems and the external
challenges to conservatism.
Rotunda: What is
conservatism?
Harbour: Actually, I don't
think there's any easy sentence,
paragraph, or definition that one
can give. Any such simplisrtic
definition would be too
reductionist in nature and be
unfair to the subject matter.
In your book, the first chapter
is entitled "The Religious
Who do you begin with religion?
Harbour: Conservatives are
Harbour: Conservatives are
always talking about getting to
the basics, emphasizing the more
important things in life. Then you
ask the people who call
Rotunda Interviews
William Harbour
themselves conservatives what
are the most important things in
life and you start tracing that
back. Sooner or later I think you
get to the subject of religion.
Rotunda: Is this why religion is
so important to the conservative?
Harbour: I think it is simply
because some of the greatest
conservative thinkers have
emphasized that in their view,
there is a god or there is
some kind of supreme being;
that there is more to man's
existence than the mere physical
existence that he has. It simply
springs from the fact that leading
conservative thinkers would have
these religious beliefs. Therefore,
it happens as they try to explain
what is right about society and -
what is wrong about society that
you have these references. I think
something else ought to be ex-
plained here. As you have the
emergence of conservatism after
the Enlightenment and around
the time of the French
Revolution, many critics of the
Enlightenment, and critics of the
French Revolution, who helped
get the ball rolling for modem
conservatism, were
apprehensive about what they
saw to be a danger to traditional
religion by the Enlightenment.
Rotunda: If religion is so
important, why do conservatives
caution against the mixing of
politics and religion?
Harbour: The problem there is
that while most conservative
thinkers have stressed the
importance of religion, religion is
not the only aspect to these
thinkers. I think that among the
greatest conservative thinkers -
there has been an attempt to
avoid a kind of theological
reductionism where every social
and political problem is imagined
to have some kind of religious
solution where one goes to the
Bible and one finds the ap-
propriate message. Therefore,
one doesn't have to think about
economics, one doesn't have to
think about sociology or political
science. I think most
conservatives would reject that
for several reasons. Their view of
the nature of things is such that
by nature they reject doctrinaire
and highly ideological thinking —
thinking which puts things into
formulas and I believe for those
people who reduce everything to
on the new religious right, you
have people who claim what God
wants us to do about politics. I
think this is very dangerous to
religion. I think this is very
dangerous to politics. You bring
the same sense of absolute truth
that you find in religion to
pohtical questions.
Rotunda: In your book, you
Changes in Housing
Modernization is the theme —
sunbursts, woodchips, and newly
varnished floors. The most recent
beam has been cast over
Longwood's residence halls.
Major changes have been made
in the housing patterns — shifting
males to traditionally female
halls and females to male halls.
South Ruffner, Wheeler, Stubbs
and French will remain female
halls. Tabb, however, will house
freshmen men on the first and
third floors, and freshmen
women on the second. Curry will
have men on the third, sixth and
ninth floors. Ground and first
floors of Cox will be for freshmen
women.
The most drastic change for
Longwood is the introduction of a
co-ed floor in North Cunningham.
The third floor of North is
designated for men and women
with G.P.A.'s of at least 3.0 and
who want to live in a high study
area.
Randy Chittum, Resident
Assistant for the co-ed hall, is
conducting interviews of
prospective residents for the hall.
"One of the things we'll be
looking for is people who are
really interested. We're not as
worried about G.P.A. as people
make it sound. We're more
interested in people who want to
live in a 24-hour quiet
environment." The hall will have
Sunday through Thursday round
the clock quiet hours. The high
study co-ed hall represents
another step towards broader
option for resident students.
a religious point that that's
exactly what's taking place. Also
in conservative thinking, there is
a suspicion about any kind of
fanatical, highly emotional
political doctrine. What
conservatives fear about the
extreme mixing of the two is that
you wind up with this kind of
doctrinaire fanatical thinking.
Rotunda: Yet conservative
groups such as the Moral
Majority are involved in political
campaigns and lobbying.
Harbour: That's the irony of
this point. Twenty years ago,
conservatives directed this point
against liberal ministers. Today,
raise the point that an orderly
society is an essential theme in
conservative thought and that
tradition is a crucial ingredient to
achieving an orderly society.
Why does tradition play such a
major role?
Harbour: I think for
conservatives it is a real melee to
organize one's existence. For
most conservative thinkers it is
impossible to prove every issue to
be true. One has a problem of
infinite regression in that in the
end as they look at questions of
order and stability, they're
inclined to argue that what
makes possible a decent society,
where there's a degree of
harmony, is where people are
brought up with certain feelings
of obligations toward their
nation, towards others and these
things are learned as a matter of
habit. They're not something that
one goes to school and one takes a
class in ethics and through some
kind of logical justification one
discovers — hey, I ought not to
steal, I ought not to murder.
Rather, I think the conservative
believes that the key to social
order is stable traditions where
people have a sense of security
and belonging Where you'd have
reduced alienation. People would
have a greater sense of meaning
to their lives.
Rotunda: In modem society,
there's been some criticism that
people are gradually leaving
traditions behind. Doesn't this
create an obstacle for
conservatives?
Harbour: It certainly makes
people who refer to tradition
appear rather quaint at times.
The conservative will probably
argue that it creates far more
problems for modem society be-
cause it's a source of disorder in
modem society.
Rotunda : What are some of the
main problems facing
contemporary conservatism?
Harbour: I think one of the
main problems for conservatives
right now is given the nature of
modernity and their critique of it,
what do they suggest we do about
all these problems? Especially
the non-economic, non-political
problems. The kind of social,
cultural, religious, and personal
problems that they see in society.
What's the solution to all this?
Rotunda: Do conservatives
offer solutions to these non-
political problems?
Harbour: they do present al-
ternatives — well, gee, we ought
to take seriously these traditional
beliefs. We ought to take
seriously returning to more
family authority, a greater
rehance on religious and certain
moral obligations. But to suggest
that is only to say, "Hey, modem
society is so defective, all you

attend the lecture at no charge.
Kaurinkoski holds a master's
degree in political science from
Helskinki University and had a
19-year career as a joumahst
before joining the diplomatic
service. From 1963 to 1969 he was

Longwood baseball coach
Buddy Bolding picked up his 99th
and 100th coaching wins Tuesday
when Longwood swept Virginia
State 15-1, 11-2. Bolding has a
record of 100-5O-1 in 5 years.
Senior David Rumburg had a
tremendous day with two three-
run homers (one in each game).
Also ripping the long ball were
John Sullivan, Allen Lawter, with
two-run homers, leading hitter
Dwayne Kingery with a solo shot
and freshman Larry Allocco with
a three-run circuit clout.
Roberts pitched a
complete game to get the win in
the opener on a four-hitter.
Highlighting the nightcap was a
four-inning stint by senior Ron
Jones. Jones, who had minor
surgery on his arm recently,
struck out seven in four inn-
ings and looked impressive in
his first action of the season.
Jones' return gives Longwood a
solid eight-man pitching staff.

THE ROTUNDA

Lancer Sports
Chesterfield Sluggers Help LC Ruggers Defeat Rams
By BECKY DUNK
"One of the keys to having a
good season," says Longwood
College baseball coach Buddy
Holding, "is to have a demanding
schedule. By competing against
good teams like Duke and
Virginia Tech, we're forced to
work harder and develop as a
good team."
And Bolding has developed a
good team. In four short years, he
has led the I>ancers to a
combined record of 90-46-1, the
South Atlantic Regional
Championship in 1982, and a
berth in last year's NCAA
Division II World Series.
Without a doubt, the 1983
season looks good for the
lancers. With a 104 record to
date and the help of Chesterfield
natives Sonny Bolton and Chris
Wilburn, longwood may be on
the road to another outstanding
year in baseball.
Although both Bolton and
Wilburn attended Clover Hill
High School, this is the first year
they have been teammates.
Bolton, a junior, plays left field
for the lancers while Wilburn, a
freshman, divides his time
between right field and the
designated hitter slot.
Bolton, a business major who
hopes to open his own business
one day, transferred to Longwood
after one uneventful year at
Ferrum. "Baseball was a
relatively new program when I
came here," he says. "I wanted
to be here to help start it ... I was
also really impressed with the
coach."
Bolton has made an impression
of his own on I^ongwood college.
In 1982, by far one of the best
seasons of his career, he was
named to the South Atlantic
Region All-Tournament Team,
the 3rd team All-South Atlantic
Region, and was chosen as the
team's "Most Valuable Player."
In addition, he batted .379 and
had a team high 15 doubles and 41
walks, while tallying 5 homeruns,
Ballclub
16 stolen bases, 31 RBI's and 47
hits.
Thus far this season Bolton has
played in all of Longwood's 14
games, batted in 12 runs, and
slammed 3 doubles and 1
homerun. Defensively, he has
recorded 14 put outs and 3 assists
with only one error.
"I feel that I've improved since
I came here," says Bolton. "For
one thing, I've become a better
hitter. My average doesn't reflect
this because it hasn't changed
much, but I'm more consistent
now. I'm better at hitting the
different pitches.
"My attitude has changed a lot,
too. I don't argue v/ith the
umpires as much as I used to.
"If April's a good month, I can
have as good a season as last
year. It'll be hard though,
because last season was one of
my best.
"As a team, we have a lot to
live up to after 1982. The weather
has been a real problem . . .
We've been rained out of 13
games. Maybe we're trying a
little too hard, but we're looking
to do good. I think we can win the
region again."
"To me. Sonny is the ultunate
ballplayer," says coach Bolding.
"He's my kind of player . . . real
gutsy ... he never disappoints me
on the field.
"Sonny has the rare ability to
determine the outcome of the
game. He has a lot of confidence
in his ability which he carries
onto the field. With this
confidence, he often sets the
stage for how the offense plays."
Last year, it was Bolton who
asked coach Bolding to consider
recruiting Chris Wilburn. He had
seen Wilburn in action and felt he
could add something to the
Lancer attack.
Presently, Wilburn, a business
administration major, is one of
two starting freshmen. As a high
school senior, he won All-State
honors and batted .471 with 20
RBI's. In addition, Wilburn was

named All-Metro his last three
years at Qover Hill.
This season he has played in 12
games and had 8 hits with 4
RBI's. On defense, Wilburn has
had 10 put outs and no errors.
"I came to Longwood because
it has the reputation of being a
good baseball college," Wilburn
says. "I was also recruited by
VCU but I chose to come here. My
decision was also influenced by
some friends here who told me
Longwood was a good school
academically.
"My strength in baseball is
definitely hitting. I'm not doing
too well right now, but I hope to
bat around .350 with 20 to 25 RBI's
and maybe some homeruns.
"I feel proud of being one of the
two freshman starters. It puts me
under some pressure because I
have a lot to live up to, but I'll just
do the best I can.
"As a team, we really want to
do as well as last year. We've had
some bad luck due to rain. It'll be
tough, but we'll come along.
According to coach Bolding,
"Chris is a young ballplayer and
he's had a rough start. He has
awesome potential though. I see
in him the makings of an
excellent ballplayer."
ByROLISONSCHOTTA
The LC Rugby team raised
its record to 3-1-1 after
defeating VCU 11-9 Saturday.
Coming off a victory over
Washington and Lee,
Longwood was more than
ready to take on a VCU Club
they had yet to beat.
VCU, who had a sUght size
advantage, was kept guessing
during the entire match by the
hard-hitting Longwood backs.
Dean Driskill, a four-year
veteran of the LC squad,
played a key role in
Longwood's offensive effort
that kept the VCU team in
their own territory for much of
the match.
Keith Barnes recovered a
losse ball deep in VCU
territory and was able to lunge
into the end zone for
Longwood's first score.
Longwood's kicking game
left much to be desired in the
victory. Several short field
goals which could have put the
game away were missed,
along with both extra point
attempts.
The Rams, on the other
hand, were able to stay close
due to their strong kicking.
Several unnecessary penalties
brought the Rams to within
two points. Only superb
lx)ngwood defense prevented
VCU from stealing the match.
A penalty kick late in the
second half threatened to give
VCU the win, but the attempt
fell short, preserving
Longwood's three-game
winning streak.

have to do is believe what we
believe." Then the question is
how do you get people to change
their basic beliefs? It is most
difficult.
Another danger for
contemporary conservatism is
that there's been too much
identification of conservatism
with proposed economic ideas.
For instance, much of the debate
in the early years of the Reagan
administration has been on
Reaganomics, supply-side eco-
nomics, and deregulation of the
economy. This is part of
contemporary conservatism, but
in reality that's the part of
contemporary conservatism that
is pretty much borrowed from
19th century liberalism. It leaves
out all together what I view as the
more important principles of
conservatism and that is the
traditional attitudes.
Rotunda: Many people equate
conservatism with this economic
policy. Your book, however,
stresses quite the opposite.
Harbour: The heart of
conservative thought, I beheve
on a philosophical basis has little
to do with whether Reagonomics
is a miserable failure or whether
we have an amazing economic
recovery and we enter some kind
of boom era. This is important in
one aspect of conservative
thought — the economic aspect.
But it doesn't say anything about
notions of tradition, authority,
religion, or coinniunit> .
SGA
Open
Forum
(Continued from Page 1)
So the forum ended for the time
being. And as I left my mind
lingered to an old Rotunda that I
read months ago. Back then the
administration had no feud with
the paper. The articles were
exactly what the people of the
forum had expressed a desire for.
No homosexuals or drugs. Just
nice articles about the various
campus groups and Student
Union events and such. Anylwdy
from out of town who had read
that paper would surely have
gotten a good opinion of the
college. The editorial page was
totally positive to the school with
the exception of one piece. That
piece was the editor at the time
accusing the students of various
ugly things because the week
before, most students had only
given that week's Rotunda
enough time to tear out a coupon
from Hardee's and then throw the
paper on the floor.
But I'm sure the irate group of
students that stormed in to
Phyllis Mable's office last
January would not mind such a
situation. And that's probably
what The Rotunda will be like if
they have their way. Harm-
less, optimistic, and ultimately
useless.

publicized in the wake of
Thigpen's and Qeckly's book,
and that she was imitating "Eve"
or lying about her own problem.
She had also gotten married to a
"wonderful" man, who, though
supportive had a "difficult time
understanding a woman that
needed three wardrobes."
Eventually she found a therapist
- Dr. Tsitos.
While the 20th Century Fox
version of the 3 Faces of Eve was
showing (for which she received
only $5000) Chris Sizemore
underwent the last of her 20 years
of psychotherapy. She also had
another child — Bobby, who on
occasion when Chris would
change personalities in a breath's
time, would ask "Mommy which
one are you?"
Indeed, which one is she? One
student at Jarman thought
perhaps she wasn't the "real"
Chris, but rather the 23 Sizemore.
She had no answer except faith
and 9 years with the same
personality.
"I've had all the absorbed
memories of the different
personalities ... I can identify
the person I am now . . . clinically
after 5 years with no change I am
supposed to be cured ... but
besides that I have a confidence
that I've never known before
anytime in my life ... I used to
have feelings of weakness, I
would see other people and would
want to be like them."
So far as medical science and
faith can predict she is like them
now, one person — the "real"
C!hris Sizemore and surprisingly
or not she is eager to tell her
story.
Chris has appeared during the 9
years since her recovery on
"Good Morning America,"
"Today," "Donahue," "60
Minutes," and P.M. Magazine.
She has made a film entitled
"Alive and Well" and is selling
her paintings (created in 7
personalities no less) some at
$10,000 a throw and exhibiting
them 6 times a year around the
world.
There is in her stage presence a
definite taste for theatrics which
she freely admits — "I'm a real
ham." Later after the lecture at
Jarman she signed a copy of her
book. The real Chris Sizemore's
personality was written indelibly
on the inside cover page — the
epithet for her life "I'm Eve" in
clear velvet tipped strokes. And
she is — the one and only.

A Letter Home:
On Longwood Survival
Dear Mother,
You would not believe what has
been going on down here at
Longwood. Last Friday, April
1st, all the vice-presidents called
a special meeting, Don Winkler of
Public Affairs nearly went
hoarse from yelling on the phone
that day and Phyllis Mable, vice-
president for Student Affairs,
stalked the halls like a wild
woman.
The commotion was over an
article entitled "Panel report to
Robb hints at Major Changes at
Colleges," that appeared in the
Richmond-Times Dispatch, April
1, on the front page of the Area,
State and Business section.
The story which was written by
Charles Cox was relatively
innocuous in itself. It said that
Governor Robb had appointed a
blue ribbon panel to raise
questions about higher education
in Virginia. A meeting of this
panel was held on Thursday,
March 31, at which time a
document from the State Council
of Higher Education ( an advisory
body to the Governor on higher
education ) was passed out to the
oanel members. Charles Cox
of the Richmond Times-Dispatch
quoted the document in his
article. It read
as follows, "Survival prospects
(are) uncertain for Longwood
College, plus Radford, Norfdk,
State and Old Dominion
University."
You can imagine the steam this
caused down here, after Dr.
Greenwood had spent the better
part of last year making certain
Longwood had a good image
(remember the favorable
"Sunburst Over Longwood"
article and the interviews with
the college president which
appeared in the Dispatch?)
No one down here really knew
what exactly had happened. It
was inaccurate to suggest
lx)ngwood's survival prospects
were uncertain after the school
had just finished enrolling the
largest number of students in its
history (I know, tripling in the
dorms was no fun, but we must
make sacrifices) and it was
difficult to pinpoint the origin of
Mr. Cox's bulleted quotations.
From what Don Winkler at
Public Affairs could piece
together the document quoted
was the State Council on
Higher Education's "informal
assessment of institutional
enrollment potential" part of a
larger document entitled
"Background Notes." There
were, however, major incon-
sistencies between what Mr. Cox
had written in his article and
what the document stated.
"Background Notes" actually
read "prospects uncertain" (in
enrollment potential) for Norfolk
State, ODU, Longwood College
and Radford University.
Nowhere in Background Notes
did it state "survival" prospects
are uncertain. Mr. Cox had made
a serious error. He had even, if
you read closely put Longwood
first in his article where it had
been third in the original
document. The barbarians are at
the gate, mother, this man will
stop at nothing.
To add to Longwood's chagrin.
Associated Press picked up on
Mr. Cox's article and that
Saturday The Roanoke Times &
World News ran a piece entitled
"Robb Asks Explosive Questions
— Qose Some Colleges? Cut
Some Programs ?" And this time
the quote read "Longwood
College, Radford University,
Norfolk State University, and Old
Dominion University face
survival problems."
Things were getting entirely
out of hand. Dr. Greenwood and
Mr. Winkler spent most the
weekend trying to get to the
bottom of the conspiracy. They
phoned the governor, they
phoned the secretary of
education, they phoned the State
Council on Higher Education,
they phoned The Richmond
Times-Dispatch. They decided to
hold an open forum on Monday at
4:00 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium
to try and explain the whole
mess.
At least 100 faculty members,
administrators and students
attended. Some were afraid,
some were angry and some were
just plain anxious. Was
Longwood dying? Dr. Green-
wood came to the podium
with a bundle of papers, smiled
and began the discourse. She
said, "I asked on Friday that
Secretary (of Education) Castine
ask the governor to provide a
news release that would address
several things — first, that the
document ("Background
Notes") did not come from the
Governor and did not come from
Castine but came from a staff
member in state council. . ." In
response to that recommendation
the Governor asked John Castine
to go on public television Friday
night and to refute the article. . .
which he did."
It was a regular program on
channel 23 public service. John
Castine was in a question-answer
format with a host. One question
was about the Richmond Times-
Dispatch article which John
Castine answered to the liking of
both the Governor and
Longwood. "(He) indicated very
emphatically that the article
which had just appeared was
erroneous, it was out of context, it
was not something the Governor
had said. He also indicated that
the reporter had changed words
in his reportage of the article. He
went on to say that he was in no
way aware of a state institution
which was in danger of being
closed."
Why then, did Mr. Cox print
the article the way it was —
"terrible reporting" as Castine
labeled it. And why, if as Dr.
Greenwood said "Longwood is
approved for growth" were
Longwood's enrollment
prospects even labeled as
uncertain? Theories were
bandied about but no one at that
Monday meeting was quilt'
certain of the truth. Some pos-
tulated that Mr. Cox still had a
grudge, from the feud which was
carried on between the Dispatch
and the Willet (the previous
Longwood President)
Administration. Others said it
was a political manuever, but
would not elaborate. Whatever
the reasons, the damage had
been done.
In retaliation Thomas Rust,
Rector of Longwood's Board of
Visitors wrote to the Times-
Dispatch executive editor. Peti-
tions were suggested at the
forum, even letters to Mr. Cox
directly to force him to print a
disclaimer. All he had said
previously was "I'm just a
reporter, I report the story I get".
' He had said that the
Administration's renunciation
of the article was "the sound any
bureaucracy would make,
they're making the sounds of
survival."
I tell you mother I was quite
confused, and didn't know
exactly what to do. Don Winkler
at the forum had suggested
writing letters home to parents
and friends in order to allay the
negative pubhcity. So 1 decided
to write you, though as it turns
out, it's rather anti-climatit
On Sunday, April 10th, the
Times-Dispatch printed a
retraction entitled "Statement is
Issued on Story" it read "The
Times-Dispatch in a recent story
dealt with a blue-ribbon study of
the long-range development of
Virginia's colleges and
universities and has been
criticized for one conclusion
Oiawn m the article.
The story said that "survival"
prospects are uncertain for
Longwood College and Radford,
Norfolk State and Old Dominion
universities.
Alf Goodykoontz, executive
editor of The Tim.es-Dispatch,
said the story would have been
more accurate if it had said
enrollment prospects are
uncertain, rather than survival
prospects are uncertain.
Goodykoontz said The Times-
Dispatch regrets any confusion
that may have been caused by
this choice of words."
Just goes to show you what
lousy reporting can do to a story.
To keep the record straight
Mother, I^ongwood is going to be
here for awhile, so keep sending
the checks, alright?

Elderhostel This
Summer
Interested in the lifestyle of
prehistoric Indians? Want to
know more about wine? Curious
about computers?
Then sign up for one of the four
Elderhostel programs that
liOngwood College is hosting this
summer.
Inspired by youth hostels and
folk schools in Europe, the
international Elderhostel
program offers a week of
academic courses and
extracurricular activities for
persons age 60 and over. It is'
based on the beUef that older
citizens can enjoy intellectual
stimulation and physical
adventure. Participants may
either conunute or spend the
week at the host facility.
Last year Longwood hosted an
Elderhostel program for the first
time. The first program this
year, which runs from May 22-28,
will consist of the same three
courses that were offered last
year. The following programs
will feature different courses.
The courses in the first session
are: "The Architecture of
Virginia from 1607-1840," "An
Archaelogical View of the
Culture of the Prehistoric
Southern Indians" and "The
South and Its Stories."
In the first course, taught by
Richard Couture, architectural
styles from the Age of Memory to
American Federalism will be
explored. The lectures will be
illustrated with slides.
Participants in the second
course, taught by Dr. James
Jordan, will assist in the
excavation of a Woodland Period

campus musicals and performing
on the stage in a contemporary
style.
He has written musicals as well
as starred in them, and created
his own touring act that is totally
original. He combines his talents
of piano, singing, comedy, and a
creative script, earning a
reputation as a one-man smash
hit wherever he goes.
One of Gonyea's creations, a
musical spoof on the style of a
fellow performer's music titled,
"I Need Your Help, Barry

Red Ryder Saddles Up Wednesday
They rode the western plains in
the comic strips and on the silver
screens of America and they
always did the "right" thing and
punished those who didn't. Few
will remember seeing Red
Ryder, the Lone Ranger, Tim
Holt, or Lash LaRue, among
others, and how they stood up for
the old American values and
maintained unquestioned loyalty
to God and country, but most
people have heard the names and
may have some knowledge of the
mythology of the old west.
"When You Coming Back, Red
Ryder?" by Mark Medoff, the
final play of the season by the
Longwood Players and the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts, is about these old
western heroes and the values
they stood for — but mostly it is
about how these values have
changed in our own time.
Hesselink Lecture
The composer of a 20th-century
masterpiece organ work,
ironically, did not particularly
like that instrument, a Longwood
College lecturer said recently.
"Schoenberg's relationship to
the organ was that of the typical
composer of the early twentieth
century: the instrument held
little attraction for him as a
medium of expression," noted
Dr. Paul Hesselink, an associate
music professor at Longwood.
"In Schoenberg's case, his
antipathy to the instrument can
easily be documented. . . "
Hesselink delivered the lecture
on March 30. He discussed the
harmonic language of Arnold
Schoenberg's "Variations on a
Recitative" for Organ, Opus 40.
He has researched this piece
since the summer of 1980, when
he was a recipient of a National
Endowment for the Humanities
grant to study at Yale University.
The composition, whose
harmonic organization has
largely been neglected, was the
result of a contunission in 1941,
Hesselink said.
"It is indeed an irony," he
pointed out, "that this
commission produced not only
what is considered a masterpiece
of the twentieth-century organ
repertoire, but also Schoenberg's
most extensive work for a solo
instrument, in this instance an
instrument which he obviously
did not know well and for which
he had little artistic affinity."
"When You Coming Back, Red
Ryder?" opens Wednesday, April
13 and runs through Saturday,
April 16, at Jarman Auditorium
on the Longwood College
campus. Curtain time each
evening is at 8 o'clock.
This contemporary play takes
place in a New Mexico diner in
the late 1960s and is a tense
drama dealing with individuals
who are disillusioned in the
aftermath of the so-called "social
t-evolution" of the early 1960s.
Yes, there is a real Red Ryder in
this play, but he is a product of a
strange, contemporary world of
misplaced and confused values
that is our world today. And Red
Ryder does "ride the range," the
restricted area of a New Mexico
diner that has seen better days.
But this time Red Ryder doesn't
ride to right the wrongs of the
world, but rather out of fear of
the man known as Teddy who is
terrorizing diner patrons and
holding Red Ryder and his
friends captive.
Teddy's presumed motive for
holding the diner patrons captive
is robbery, but the big-mouthed,
gawky kid at the counter who is
called "Red Ryder" forces the
cynical Teddy to look back in
time to past forgotten values and
dead heroes. Teddy becomes
obsessed with the lost values and
the old west heroes, and his
robbery becomes a rape of the
souls of the diner patrons.
The tension mounts as Teddy
punishes, shocks, and humiliates
the diner patrons while trying to
recreate what amounts to a
parody of American old west
mythology. The play is a
frightening study of
contemporary life, but also a
memorable dramatic
experience.
Dramatic Arts major Jerry
Dagenhart is teatured as the
frightening Teddy, the cynical
and disillusioned "outcast" of the
late sixties culture. Stephen
"Red" Ryder, the 19-year-old
modem "cowboy," is played by
Vincent Decker, a Dramatic Arts
transfer student from Boston
University. Bob Lemieux and
Mary Sue Gardner, both veteran
Longwood Players, play Richard
and Clarisse, a well-to-do couple
who come to the diner for
breakfast, only to be thoroughly
intimidated by Teddy. Lyle
Striker, m.otel owner and a
regular patron at the diner, is
played by Max Pantell. Isabelle
Milbum is featured as Cheryl,
Teddy's girl friend, and Jeffrey
Thomas is Clark, owner of the
diner.
Ginny Munoz, a Farmville
resident and featured performer
in past Longwood Players
productions, plays the role of
Angel, the good-hearted and
dutiful waitress at the diner,
whose crush on Stephen becomes
a major source of Teddy's
ridicule.
"When You Coming Back, Red
Ryder?" is being directed by
Douglas M. Young of the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts, assisted by
student director, Lisa Magill. A.
Moffatt Evans, Jr., the
Department's Technical

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., once
theorized that the First
Amendment was a gloat. A mere
aberration dreamed up by
Jeffersonian idealists to be put in
a glass cage and watched but
never to be utilized. For a while it
would stand as the center piece of
the new free nation and then
quietly, bureaucracy with its
mighty sweeping mechanisms,
would brush it silently under the
carpet to be stepped on. The
national pride would be
satiated without having to deal
with the contingencies of such an
amendment.
If one were to read the past as
an indictment of the future
Vonnegut's theory may not be too
far from the mark. Nationally

Longwood College a publications
board was recently formed at
least in part to assure that future
editors meet all "proper"
criteria before being selected,
one of these being "a
commitment to the college."
One has to wonder if all
American editors have ever (or
will have to) pledge commitment
to the nation before being
selected to their post. Perhaps pamphlets

Hey Kiddies,

Let me expound. When I chose

Longwood because of any
student-ran publication. I chose
Longwood because I was handed

"Concerned Students" attribute
his fame to sensationalism.
Personally I think what we are
seeing is a thermidorian reaction
(a reaction of forces after they
have fallen from grace). The
trend at Longwood recently has
been away from the old traditions
— Rah-Rahism — to a more
realistic approach to day to day
life. The Rah-Rahs are making
an attempt to restore themselves
to the throne. That's wishful

journalist's state of mind while
writing or working on an article.
Fresher prints can be found

A Presidential directive
requiring present and former
government officials with access
to highly classified material
(known as "sensitive
compartmented information," )to
seek official clearance before any
public statements are made (for
the duration of their life) has
recently been passed, ostensibly
to prevent leaks which would
threaten national security.
This is nil to insinuate that all
threats to the First Amendnjent's
validity have come from above.
Unfortunately, they have also
come from below (from where, it
may be argued, all antagonists of
such an amendment originate.)

past experience. To be an editor
of a paper as thoroughly
disorganized, disheveled, and at
times sensational (and in many
respects I consider that a good
word) as The Rotunda, one needs
not a conmiitment to the college
so much as one needs a
commitment to the paper. It
comes first and as any future
editor will soon find, it is best to
ignore the posturing of this
institution lest he or she be
caught up in its own narcissistic
web and find the paper like
Longwood at times, full of bluff
and nonsense, and vain as a sor-
ority girl on Saturday night.
The Rotunda) seem to want to
present a picture of happy
students hand in hand. Well, that
idea might be fine for a high
school paper, but as adults it's
kind of hard for us to be dictated
to in such a fashion. You see
there's this little document called
the U. S. Constitution which says
that we have the right to a free
press. Since college is our
transition to the real world,
shouldn't we enjoy the same
freedoms — that's what they'll
say at graduation — "we have
prepared you for life. . ." If this is
the case the future of the country
looks bleak.

that the world is a hard cold place
to be thrust into and Bachelors of

prerequisite to an instant job.
Thus, school spirit is out and
individual survival is in.
All this aside, who would read

Robert Stone on A Flag For Sunrise
Robert Stone received a: There are a number of

completed three novels — A Hall
of Mirrors published in 1967,
which won a Faulkner Prize, Dog
Soldiers which won the National
Book Award for fiction in 1974,
and A Flag for Sunrise which,
as Jack Beatty wrote, "seems
destined to be one of the books
that will justify our time before
the bar of literary history."
A Flag for Sunrise is set in the
fictionalized Central American
country of Tecan, which is on the
brink of revolution. The plot
traces chronologically the lives of
three Americans: Frank
Holliwell, a middle aged
anthropologist on a lecture trip to
Central America; Sister Justin
Feeney, an American nun
helping to run a mission on the
coast of Tecan; and Pablo Tabor,
a pillhead deserter from the
Coast Guard. They meet late in
the novel _ 'against the
backdrop of a revolution
in Tecan.
A Flag for Sunrise was the
subject of a seminar discussion
what the emotional tone of the
ending is going to be. It gives me
a place to strike for, but I don't
have to know all the stuff that
happens in the middle. That will
occur to me. Somebody once said
about writing — everybody has a
great beginning and everybody
has a great ending — but it's the
middle; that's the hard part —
and it's true.
Q: When a person finishes a
"Flag for Sunrise," is there any
last comment or theme in general
conference, at the University of
Southern California last month
and I was talking to the former
Undersecretary of State for East
Asian Affairs, a man named
Thompson who actually worked
for the Lyndon Johnson
Administration. We were talking
about the roots of the war and he
said, "Well, in a way the
Vietnamese were inheritors of
the projection of American
missionary zeal, they were the
objects of American
Beneficence," and he said, "you
can tell the objects of American
beneficence by the haunted look
in their eyes." And this is true in
Southeast Asia, and true in
that the novel is supposed to end Central America. They're prob-
ably getting the worst side of
the United States. I think what
this country is about, is quite
genuinely good stuff, but it does
not travel well, it does not export
well. And when we try to export it
we often get ourselves into a lot of
trouble.

after all that. It's not despairing

call it that, is that nothing is free,

of human behavior. If we're
In the case of Central America,
we have always excused the way
we behaved there (and we've
behaved pretty badly), because
the people down there were
sorry that they did. They may
find themselves hardly better off,
with a pro-Soviet government.
However, they probably will be
materially a little bit better off.
And even if they are subject to a
lot of censorship and control that
will be better than being
murdered left and right the way
they are now.
Q: Do you see yourselves as a
type of Moralist, on the order of
the 19th century Moralists, for
the nation?
A: I think that's the job of the
novelists, to be one of the makers
of the national conscience, I don't
think novelists are taking that
seriously in the United States,
which is not necessarily a bad
thing. But I think that's my job,
as a novelist, as an artist, and I
think that it should be — to be a
preacher, a kind of prophet.
Q: What are you going to be
working on in the future?
A: I'm working on a novel now
that I'm about 100 pages into
about two people, a screenwriter
and an actress on location in New
lexico. Basically, it's about the
': film industry.
Q: Why the title, "A Flag for
j Sunrise?"
i A: It's from an Emily Dick-
enson poem, "A bride at
daybreak I shall be, sunrise hast!
thou a flag for me?" It's yet,
another one of her funerary
poems. It begins with an
expectation of a loss of virginity
of being taken as a bride and of
course we find that not surprising
since we know this is Emily
Dickenson, what she's actually
talking about is dying. The great
bride that she's expecting is
Christ, who she's going to see.
The poem goes on to describe her
ascending the stair and seeing
Christ. It represents the thing
that everybody is waiting for in
the morning. What's going to be
there for us after all this night.
After all this struggle, what do we
have in the morning to greet the
next day with? What kind of flag,
what kind of emblem? What
symbols of hope to get us through
the next day?

of the English Department at
Longwood College. Following are
several excerpts from that
discussion.
Q: Who or what influenced
you to structure the novel as it is,
without any clear distinctions
between chapters?
A: It (the novel) unfolds in
scenes, in which one point in time
is connected to another — it's a
little bit cinematic. Everybody
the way we want it to be. We have
to analyze the nature of illusion.
Its purpose is certainly not to
horrify or rub anybody's face in
the awfulness of it all.
Q: I always wonder when I
read a novel how much is from
the actual experience of the
author? How much of this novel
did you actually experience?
A: I had first hand experience
of Central America, yes. But I
never write autobiographically,
writing since Joyce was probably the writer is, of course, all of the
influenced by the narrative
rhythms of film. It's hard not to
be. I think we all, since the
second decade of this century,
came to the story telling process
partly through watching films.
The novel is not strictly speaking
cinematic but runs as a film
narrative might even to the point
of having quick cuts or dissolves
at the end of a scene.
This enables me to leave out
what I think I can leave out. The
problem with a novel or with a
story is that very often you go on
too long. The hardest thing in the
world is to cut a story or novel
and yet if you go on and on at your
own leisurely pace, you're going
to end up doing the one thing in
this business that you cannot do
— and that is be boring. There is
absolutely no patience, nor
should there be, with boring
literature, it can be anything, it
can be pretentious, absurd, but
never boring.
Q: Do you feel like you have to
know what will happen at the end
of the novel when you start it?
characters. I invent them. I'm
their daddy. I know all about
them. But I'm not them.
Q: Is that why you used Tecan,

the Honduras, or Nicaragua?
A: Yes, I didn't want to be.
limited to the reality of one
specific country.
Q: Do you see a lot of parallels
between Central America today
and Vietnam?
A: Yes, certainly there are a lot
of parallels. There's a certain
level on which all non-western
countries are alike in the way
that all western countries are
alike, in terms of the economy
and the way life is lived. It would
be hard to have been in Southeast
Asia and then go to Central
America and not be reminded of
the similarities. It's a square on
the chess board, a pawn in a
game which is really controlled
outside of the area itself.
To give you an example, I was
at a Vietnam reconsidered
to us. We thought, "Well, they're
just a lot of confused little people
and if anybody's going to
straighten them out, it's going to
be us." That was not the right
way to go about it, we were
kidding ourselves. And we were
being patronizing and we were
being contemptuous of the local
population. Sooner or later that
debt was going to come up for
payment and that's what's
happening now. They don't like
us down there. We've just
assumed what was good for us
was good for them. So we're in
trouble there and it is in an area
of vital interest for the United
States. We're caught in a
contradiction of our method of
exporting the American way of
life. It's not because this country
is a bad country, it's just one of
those things — the youthful
misjudgments of America as a
great power are now coming up
to haunt her.
Q: You spoke of a payback, a
paying of debts, what do you see
happening in Central America?
A: WeU, I don't think it's too
good. I think they would like to
have a revolution all throughout
Central America resembling the
Nicaraguan revolution without
quite as much socialist ideology.
I'm not sure that's possible now. I
don't think there is any middle
ground possible anymore. I think
there might have been M years
ago, but I don't think there is
anymore. They will eventually
have to go to the Cubans for
support and they may be very
It is 3:30 a.m., Thursday, April
7, as I sit and write this. It sounds
like an odd time to be writing, but
under the circumstances it has
proved to be a most opportune
time. You see, I have just re-
turned from a fire drill, the first
in Frazer dormitory since
returning from break, but only
one of many.
Students are to the point now
where they assemble their fire
drill clothing before retiring each
night. There have been so many
fire drills here that if there was
ever a real fire the students
would not be aware of it because
of the mere size of the building.
Students are now taking their
time getting out of the building.
They are tired of these false
alarms. For them, it seems safe
to say that it is a false alarm
What happens to those few
stragglers in the dorm who take
their time getting dressed and
even take time to comb their hair
and brush their teeth?
A fire knows no boundaries or
patience. Most of all, it has no
respect or consideration for
human life or anything else in its
path. A burning building can be
put out and rebuilt. A human life
is easily extinguished, often
leaving nothing left to rebuild.
These few who are getting their
jollies pulling false alarms must
realize the seriousness of their
behavior and possible
consequences. It is not
unreasonable to say that these
irresponsible few have the safety
of the entire college community
in their hands, and if anything
happens to any students here
they will have it on their
consciences.
To the Student Body:
As we all know, Phyllis Mable
recently formed the publications
board. The current b«ard is a
mistake and after a brief
examination of the issue it should
be clear why.
To begin with, the student body
has no elected representatives on
the board. If the board is going to
control publications read mostly
by the students, the students
should be able to elect those they
feel will act objectively.
The second issue involves
having the editor elected by the
board. The students, not an
appointed board, have the right
to decide who they feel will
uphold the highest journalistic
standards. It should not be the
decision of a board concerned
mainly with public affairs.
The third issue is leaving the
editor out of the decision making
process. Editors are the people
who are ultimately accountable
for a publication .'s content.
Their responsibility is
compromised when their vote
isn't included in board decisions.
Longwood's publications board
needs to be reorganized. A new
iboard, with elected student
Irepresentatives and editors
comprising it, is the best way to
ensure an accurate
representation of the college.
Sincerely,
WillHuskey

Telefund Beats Goal
The 1983 Longwood College
Telefund, which lasted from
February 7 through March 10,
received a record $73,821 in
pledges from 4,127 donors,
according to Alice Martin,
director of Annual Funds.
Under the leadership of
Telefund chairman John
McMillen, the 51 Longwood
Ambassadors — the "telephone
force" — called alumni in all 50
states asking for donations. Ten
Ambassadors worked each night
for 20 nights or 720 hours.
This year's Telefund goal of
$65,000 and 4,000 donors was
surpassed. In addition, this
year's totals represent a 21
percent increase in number of
donors and a 20 percent increase
in dollars pledged over the 1982
totals.
Of the 4,127 donors, 1,271 had
never contributed before and
1,354 increased their 1982 pledge.
"If all of the pledges are
fulfilled," said Martin, "we have
a good shot at being one of the top
10 colleges in the nation in terms
of donations."
Of all 51 Ambassadors, Geri
Flanary recorded the most
donors in one night with 48, while
Tina Trice collected $1,050 in
pledges, also the most for one
night.
Overall, the most donors and
the most dollars pledged were
received by Bob Jensen. Mary
Beth Hart received pledges from
the greatest number of people
who had never contributed
before, while Lisa Swackhammer
collected the most dollars from
alumni who had never
contributed before and those who
increased last year's pledge.
More Classes
Beginning in the fall semester,
Longwood's Office of Continuing
Studies will offer three certificate
programs for adults who wish to
continue their education and
training. The programs are:
Human Resource Management,
Office Management, and Records
Management.
Each will consist of 30 credit
hovss of courses. These courses,
which are already offered at
liOngwood, will be taught off
campus in locations convenient
for potential students.
The Human Resource
Management program is
designed for people involved in
personnel, labor relations,
training, occupational safety and
health, and related fields. The
Records Management program
focuses on data processing,
information systems and certain
clerical functions, while the
Office Management program is
primarily for secretaries.
"It's a way for an individual to
gain credentials in a highly
relevant and technical area,"
said George Stonikinis,
coordinator of Longwood's
Institute for Advanced Studies
and Regional Resources,
"You're allowing people to
continue their education, to
diversify and to move up in their
positions. Instead of a four-year
commitment, you're only talking
about 30 hours. . . Perhaps most
important, you're delivering
education to adults in the way
they need it and can use it."
The certificate programs are
part of an effort to accommodate
adult students who desire
continuing education, or whose
occupations demand that they
continue their education, but for
whom a conventional four-year
degree program is beyond their
reach.
An increasing number of
college students are over 25 and
study part-time. Analysts expect
the demographic characteristics
of college students to continue to
change through the remainder of
this century.
The new programs were
developed as a follow-up to a
detailed markert survey of local
businesses and industries which
the Longwood administration
completed last fall. One of the
survey's recommendations was
the expanded availability of
educational opportunities for
various segments of the
community.
Longwood President Janet D.
Greenwood announced the
programs in a March 30 address
before the Virginia Division of
Industrial Development Seminar
at Richmond's Hyatt House.
"Longwood needs to be — and
will be — more responsive to a
new constituency: that of
working adults in industry," Dr.
Greenwood said. "Our certificate
program will be focused on a
distinct segment of learners who
need to update their education
and skills as new knowledge and
demands ^re created."
Dr. Greenwood was the first
Virginia college president to
publicly endorse Gov. Charles S.
Robb's "active partnership"
between higher education and
business and industry.
Also as part of this effort,
liOngwood is currently offering
three new computer courses in
the evening.

Males Differ
From Females
More Than
We Know
A study by a Longwood College
psychology professor into how
the time-of-day affects impulse
control among 7th graders found
surprising differences between
boys and girls.
"The difference between sexes
(in performance) was
outstandingly unexpected," Dr.
Madeline Simpson said during a
March 31 Fireside Chat at
Longwood House. 'We found
differences in every way you look
at the data."
In the spring of 1981, Dr.
Simpson tested 104 7th-grade
students in the Nottoway County
school system on two occasions.
Each time she used two tasks —
one involving delay of
gratification, the other involving
time estimation — and tested the
students in the morning and
again that afternoon.
She had expected to find no
differences in performance
between males and females,
based on existing research.
However, the boys did better in
both categories, particularly in
estimating 60-second intervals,
she said.
"Repetitious counting may
have accounted partially for the
sex differences observed," added
Dr. Simpson, citing research that
girls become bored more easily
than boys on repetitive tasks.
Dr. Simpson also was surprised

Softball Team Hosts Liberty Baptist
Longwood women's softball
team, which won two of four
contests last week, hosts Liberty
Baptist Tuesday afternoon at
Farmville Elementary field.
Today's twinbill will be the Lady
Lancers' only action this week.
The doubleheader tips off at 3:30.
Now 2-6, Cotech Nanette
Fisher's squad pulled off a 14-13
victory over VCU Tuesday in 11
innings, after rallying from a 12-0
deficit. In the Liberty Baptist
tournament, played in mud and
rain Friday and Saturday,
Longwood beat James Madison 6-
5 but fell to Cazenovia of New
York 4-1 and Francis Marion 5-0.
In the big win over VCU, Cindy
Walsh has three hits and two big
RBI's, winning pitcher Donna
Kanary drove in two runs and
Sharon Sculthorpe had two hits.
The Lady Lancers, trailing 12-
0, scored six runs in the fourth
and seven in the sixth to go on top
13-12. After VCU tied the game
with a run in the top of the
seventh, Longwood won it in the
bottom of the Uth inning, aided
by a VCU error.
Kanary went the distance for
Longwood and held the Rams to
just one run over the last seven
innings.
Friday in the first round of the
Liberty Baptist Tournament, the
Lady Lancers fell to Cazenovia's
three-run rally in the top of the
sixth. Pam Cauley had three hits
in three trips to plate and Gilbert
had two hits with an RBI.
Later Friday, Longwood
rallied for two runs in the bottom
of the seventh inning on a two-run
single by Walsh to edge James
Madison 6-5 and stay alive in the
tourney. Walsh's big hit drove in
Debbie Garcia and Cauley to give
Longwood the victory. Soph
Betsy Armstrong picked up the
win in relief of Kanary. Jeanette
Schoder had a run-scoring double
and Sculthorpe also had a double
to pace Longwood's seven4iit
attack.
Saturday morning Longwood
was eliminated from the
tournament by a strong Francis
Marion team 54). Kay Aultman
had a double while Gilbert,
Walsh, Cauley and Schoder also
hit safely in the contest.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Coach Barbara Smith's team
totaled an 865 for 45 holes
Saturday and Sunday to place 7th
out of 11 teams in Penn State's
spring women's golf tournament.
William & Mary was sixth at 846
while Michigan State, Minnesota
and Ohio State were the top three

Bryan Kersey won his match at
No. 3 singles Sunday and teamed
with Carl Schwab to win at No. 2
doubles, accounting for
Longwood's victories in the loss
to Randolph-Macon.
Longwood's baseball team holds the same 104
record and seventh place national ranking in
Division II that the Lancers enjoyed March 29 after
a doubleheader sweep over Virginia State. In the
interim eight games were either postponed or
canceled because of rain, frustrating players and
enabling already frustrated sports editors to use
Morrison quotes in headlines.
Coach Buddy Bolding is hoping his squad will be
able to complete five games that are on tap this
week. The Lancers are slated to play two at St.
Paul's Tuesday, two at Mount St. Mary's Wed-
nesday and one at VMI Friday.
In all 19 games have been rained out thus far in
what has been a miserable spring weather-wise.
Following Friday's contest at VMI, the Lancers will
travel to Maryland Baltimore County for a single
game Sunday and to Maryland Eastern Shore for
two Monday.
With 20 games still to play, barring further
rainouts, the Lancers have their work cut out for
them if they are to realize another trip to the South
Atlantic Regional Tournament.
"It's going to be rough from here on out," said
Bolding. "We have to play a lot of games in a short
period of time and we need a bunch of victories If we
hope to return to the playoffs."
The Lancers remained seventh in the latest
Division n baseball poll put out by Collegiate
Baseball last week.
Lancer Golfers Finish Sixth
Longwood's men's golf team
failed to defend its college div-
ision state title Saturday, but
senior David Moore fired a four-
over-par 76 to place second in the
college division in the rain-
shortened Virginia Collegiate
Championships at Hot Springs.
Radford won the college divi-
sion with a one round 313 while
Longwood was sixth at 333.
Overall and university division
winner was Virginia with a 289.
The tournament was cut to 18
holes after rain made the lower
Cascades course unplayable for
Sunday's second round.
Moore played perhaps the
finest round of his three-year
career to finish second. Other
Longwood scores included:
Richard Miller 83, Glenn Bugg 86,

by her discovery that the
performance of the girls varied
more between the two testing
days than did that of the boys.
She had originally thought that
the one-week lapse would affect
the sexes equally.
Not surprisingly, she found that
— generally speaking — both
boys and girls performed better
on both tests in the morning than
in the afternoon.
This research was undertaken
to examine the relationship
among biorhythms, delayed
gratification and time
judgments.
"Time-of-day is related to the
concept of biorhythms . . .,"
noted Dr. Simpson. "Humans
develop rhythms that are
synchronized with the periodic
changes in nature. Because of
this, it is said that humans have a
biological, or physiological,
clock. Some writers refer to
internal mechanicms that
synchronize such rhythms as
'living clocks.' "
Dr. Simpson authored an
article about her findings that
appeared in the journal
Perceptual and Motor Skills last
August.
Her lecture was the third and
final Fireside Chat of this
academic year. Previous
programs were given by Dr. Jung
Ra, an education professor, and
Jacqueline Wall, an art
instructor. Fireside chats
provide an informal forum for
Longwood faculty to share

"A Look at the World of
computers" and the course on
prehistoric Indians. The final
program, July 31-August 6, will
have the same courses as the
third program.
Last year's program attracted
44 persons from up and down the
East Coast. Only one of the 38
non-commuters came from
Virginia. Across the country last
year, 55,(X)0 people participated
in over 600 Elderhostel

be turned away.
Since Longwood will be closed
during the first program, laore
commuters can be accepted for
this than for the other programs.
There are no exams, no grades
and no required homework. Lack
of formal education is not a
barrier. Participation is open to

Hard Times At Nottoway High
AStudent Teachers Perspective
They're out there.
12th grade black boys twice as
big and twice as dark, jiving
through the doorway of the baby
blue classroom, and slinking into
the orange plastic desks sliding
them across the dirty slick tiles
— pop! against the wall and
smiling with big teeth saying,
"After-NOON, Miss Marton,
After-NOON."
"Barton! Miss Barton! The
name's been on the chalkboard
for a week. B-A-R-T-O-N-
Barton!" And the big one comes
up, the basketball star with a 'fro
out to his shoulders, throws his
books down, meanders up to the
teach, says, "Gotta go to the
locker room" or "gotta go to the
bathroom," and Miss Barton lets
him go, 'cause he's twice as big
and twice as strong and you got to
let him go.
Nottoway County — 25 minutes
from Longwood, 50 from
Richmond, 40 from Petersburg —
the heart of rural Nowheres-ville
and Miss Sharon Barton's been
student teaching there for 10
weeks — 25 hours a day, 7 days a
week, with cartoon breaks at 3:00
and no hope in sight.
"I wasn't prepared at all, I'd
been so indoctrinated to the ideal
class situation at Longwood that I
was scared to death when I went
into that Nottoway 'Basics' class
— a class for lower tracked kids,
problem kids."
On a drizzly gray day —
January the 24th — Sharon woke
at three a.m., washed, dried,
dressed and ate by 4:00 a.m. She
was so eager she had to kill three
hours before she could begin her
first day of student teaching. She
had completed two weeks of
modules at Longwood which
"can't possibly provide a student
with the background information
that they're going to need to test
the kids, to discipline the kids,
and to know about multi-cultural
groups."
Nottoway County was the high
school — rural, country, fresh
scrubbed kids with freckles and
white brittle starched collars, yes
ma'am and no ma'am
sensibilities, idealized parochial
folk who wwildn't need a stick —
multi-cultural? She would have
no problems. She headed through
Crewe on Rt. 360 to Nottoway, her
head full of illusion.
Sharon met her supervisor on
the first day, the teacher she
would be replacing and observed
the classes in which she would
teach. English Honors, English
Academics, English General and
English Basic. "When I saw
honors I thought bright, smart,
intelligent — good class, when I
saw academics I thought college-
bound, probably Longwood
College, or U. Va., or Old Do-
minion because they're rural
kids and they want to go to small
colleges. When I saw general it
was like — unmotivated
rednecks, when I saw basic I
thought challenge, incredible, I
don't believe this, I wasn't
prepared . . . I'm scared,
scared."
Basics — glassy, red-eyed
Richard, quiet, brown wavy
shoulder length hair, boots that
are covered with mud, he smells
of an automobile and he reeks of
reefer, 17-18 years old, flannel
shirt, jean jacket, cigarette
behind the ear, langy, he slides
into the desk in the class and
when he slides into the desk, it
knocks against the wall and
Sharon looks at him with her
conservative tan skirt and pastel
blue sweater, clean cropped hair
and big brown eyes, and she
thinks, "Oh, my God, you're
stoned. What are you doing
here?"
Basics — Homecoming queen
Lisa, adorable Lisa, real sweet,
soprano voice like a bird, doesn't
know what a preposition is,
hasn't written in complete
sentences for 18 years, wants to
go to college and her chances are
slim to nil. She asks if the new
teacher will tutor her, what could
she say? "Yes, yes, of course,
sure, spell Barton." "B-a-r-t-o-u-
n-t."
Basics — twenty year old
senior in high school, Charlie,
5'9". short hair, big black eyes, a
"real stitch," had cheeks swollen
out like a mouthful of apples, no
matter how serious she is Charlie
gets the best of her, so cute,
everytime he laughs, nothing
comes across as serious, she just
laughs and says, "You crack me
up."
And coked out Tommy and big
silent Norman and Carl who lives
in a shack and sleeps on a dirt
floor — Basics, Basics, Basics.
"Honey, they couldn't write at
all, they could barely write their
names. It was that bad."
Most of them did drugs, looked
for the instant gratification in life
and didn't care about much else,
particularly not school work.
"They wake up in the morning
and take bong hits to make it
through the day, they go out at
lunch and they drink alcohol and
they smoke their dope, they
probably eat little or nothing and
only when they're high because
they get the munchies. They don't
care about school, they feel like
society has done some harm to
them in some way or another,
their parents are fighting or
divorced, and they don't have any
adult supervision. To be sent to
the principal is no big deal
because they're not afraid of
authority. They don't care, they
just don't care."
And what's a nice girl like
Sharon doing in a place like this?
She came from a line of
teachers, an inherited profession.
Her father taught high school
English for 19 years at Newport
News. Her brother teaches there
now and she wants to teach
because, "When I was in high
school I had a lot of problems
with my family and myself — you
know adolescence is adolescence,
it's that constant — why am I
living? loss of identity type
syndrome." She met a teacher in
her 10th grade class "who wasn't
afraid to get close to the kids on
an emotional level. He showed
me that a teacher could do more
than pass on knowledge, they
could help a person be a better
person."
Dan Cokely was his name, a
balding football coach for
Newport News who had a
"classic broken nose — three
times at that, he was always
happy, always smiling." She
tried to emulate him in her basics
class, sitting behind her thick
wooden desk thinking of how he
would handle cases like Ricky —
the big black boy who failed
consecutively and purposely to
keep on the easy level, the basic;
or Tommy, the coke addict, who
would excuse himself from class
five minutes berore the bell, snort
two lines and come back
sniffling, with watery eyes.
On the drug problem, she did
what Dan might have done, "I let
them talk it out, we would get off
on the discussion of drugs,
because they were drug addicts
and they were alcoholics and they
needed to talk about those things
and nobody will let them talk it
out — they certainly couldn't tell
! their parents, and with their
peers it was like, "Oh, that's
really great, you're a drug
addict, that's wonderful,' so they
needed somebody to talk to who
was going to take a neutral
stance — that was myself."
After the first three or four
weeks the students became less
wary of her. Some would hang
around after school, wanting to
talk personally about their
problems, or just to talk.
"A lot of them just wanted me
to say they were special, boost
their egos a little — Lord knows
they needed it." Sometimes it
helped and sometimes it didn't
matter either way.
A tall, bony boy named Clyde
with a small squeezed face. Mo
haircut and an affinity for Jack
Daniels' baseball caps, ap-
proached her one day after
class, it was not an unusual thing
for him to do. He'd made a habit
of going up to her, tucking his
thumbs into his Levi's and
saying, "Miss Barton, I just
really can't cope with this, I'm
just really getting sick and tired
of school, and I get up in the
morning and I take a bong hit to
help me make it through the day,
and then I smoke dope at lunch
and then I go home and take a
bong hit."
On that day Miss Barton looked
at Clyde and he looked like
walking death in cowboy boots —
his face was taut and bony, as if
cellophane were pulled over the
skull and just as pale — he was
killing himself and wanted an
excuse. an order. or
sanctification for his own self-
destruction. She wouldn't give it
to him.
"Look," she said, "you're
standing here, because you want
me to tell you one of two things,
that it's o.k. for you to do drugs or
that you're stupid for doing it and
I'm not going to tell you either
one . . . One day you're going to
wake up and look at yourself in a
mirror and say, 'Hey, I'm a
really special person, I'm going
to stop treating myself like
that.' "
Qyde pulled the baseball cap
lower and shoveled the boots,
"Yeh, yeh. right, Miss Barton,
right, right."
"A lot of the problem stems
from their family life, they feel
like they've been jilted, so far as
their parents are concerned, they
don't feel like the teachers care
and in a lot of cases it's true."
Sharon saw the gamut of
attitudes in her profession, from
the 35-year-old lady in the
teacher's lounge who rattled off
students' IQ's and labeled them
respectively trashy or worthless,
the one who "teaches for the pay
check" and rules a class like Big
Nur.se in "One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest" tyrannizing with
a fat stick and large store of
intimidation, to the people she
feels akin to. the person who
teaches because they care,
because they "love to teach. "
Not that it is always easy.
"You can't love all your
students, you can try, you will
inevitably have those you favor
and then you'll have those who'll
drive God insane, drive God to be
the devil, those you think, 'Why
are you here to torture me? Why
don't you stay out of class?' "
Take Eric, tall, acne-pocked
Eric, laying his mud-laden boots
on the desk in front of him.
running his fingers through thick,
greasy hair, picking at the holes
in his l.«vi's and saying eternally,
"Yes, Miss Marton" for the
entire 10 weeks. Or the "heads,"
the majority of the class, coked
out or stoned watching Miss
Barton talk and not hearing a
word.
"That was a big discipline
problem because you can't teach
somebody who's .stoned, they look
at you and they don't take notes,
they just kind of mellow out like
you're there to entertain them."
She cried a lot in her
temporary room with another
student teacher, Wanda Lloyds.
For 10 weeks every day she
arrived at the Uoyds' from
Nottoway High at 3:00 o'clock,
ate a piece of cake, drank coffee,
watched cartoons until 4:30,
smoked the last of her daily
packs of Virginia Slims, worked
until 11:00 at night on lesson
plans and then cried. Because the
students would not learn.
Because it seemed the Basics

Which Will It Be? Longwood or H-SC
By GERE LYELL
Beverly steps out of the shower
with her wet, dark hair curling
gently around her young face.
Her green eyes are sparkling
with the anticipation of another
Friday night, another party, a
fraternity party at Hampden-
Sydney. She steps to her closet
and frowns. There are enough
clothes in there to open a retail
store but Beverly has nothing to
wear. She stares for minutes,
then shuts the closet door. She
will find something to wear, she
always does. She goes to the
bedroom to dry her hair. Her
roommate and suilemate are also
contemplating what to wear and
discussing who they will see.
Beverly just smiles for she knows
who she will see. A boy she has
been dating all semester. A
"Hampster," as all the girls on
the hall call the young men from
Hampden-Sydney.
Many girls, just like Beverly,
eagerly go to the parties at H-SC
while virtually ignoring the
parties and events here at
Longwood. Going to Hampden-
Sydney has been traditional for
Ijongwood girls for many years,
but now that our college has gone
co-ed what is the attraction 6
miles down the road? When
asked her opinion of guys from
Hampden-Sydney, one freshman
said, "Generally, I find the -guys
there are polite and friendly
enough. Their parties are great.
Guys will come up and ask if they
can get you anything and if you
are having a good time." In
comparison, when asked her
opinion of Longwood men, she
hesitated then answered, "Some
Longwood guys are really nice
but they don't have the charm
and appeal of Hampden-Sydney
guys. They don't give off the
same atmosphere. I mean, like, a
H-SC guy opens a door for you, a
Longwood guy will just push you
out of the way! But some
Longwood guys are polite too."
Not all freshman girls seem to
have the same reaction. Asked
the same question about H-SC
men, another freshman had quite
a different opinion. "I've been to
only one party there and I would
never go back. RUDE is the only
way I can describe those guys.
No, I can also say they are
immature, spoiled and
disgusting. What I really think
can't go into print." Are the
Longwood men any better in her
opinion? "On a one-to-one basis I
think they are because I have to
see them everyday in my classes.
I date a boy from home so I don't
really know how they would act
on a date."
Senior girls have been exposed
to both Longwood and Hampden-
Sydney men for 4 years. They
would seem to have a more in-
depth opinion of both groups.
When interviewed, a senior was
asked to remember her freshman
year. Four years ago, did girls go
to Hampden-Sydney? She
replied, "There were only two
frats here, SPE and Pi Kapp so
more girls went to H-SC. Out
there they had more parties each
week, one just about every night.
There was always something to
do. There was also the Red Lyon.
Everyone went there." As a
freshman, can you recall what
your opinion of a Hampden-
Sydney guy was? With deep
contemplation, then a snicker,
she answered, "I basically used
to think they were all the typical
Southern Gentlemen. They were
all very preppy, it was the beach
music era back then. Guys asked
girls out more, or as a fresjiman,
that's the way it seemed. I Used to
think that they were just "it"! All
the parties were wild everyone
drank and danced. I also used to
think all those guys were wealthy
and went to prep schools."
As a senior with four years of
parties behind you, how do you
view the same Hampden-Sydney
crowd? This senior flipped back
her long hair and answered,
"They aren't any big deal, yet
they still think they are a big deal
and they act that way. I still feel
that there are a few nice sincere
guys. I found out that some
pretend that they are wealthy,
they are only psuedo-wealthy.
Also, I've come to realize that
many take Longwood girls for
granted because we will always
come to their parties. Since we
are only 6 miles down the road,
they feel we are at their disposal
all the time." How do Longwood
guys fare in comparison? "I
really don't know that many
Longwood guys other than seeing
them in my classes. I have made
my friends at H-SC and that's
where I go to party. I think there
are a few good guys here, but 1
don't know them well enough to
make a comparison." Can you
still see a difference between
men at Longwood and Hampden-
Sydney? "I feel Hampden-
Sydney is more polished on the
social graces are more attuned to
pretending to be Southern
Gentlemen, yet some don't
pretend."
Another senior had a short and
definite opinion. "I've been going
to H-SC for 4 years and have
taken all the people I have met
The Bare Essentials
At New Gate Prison
By LIZ D'SURNEY
"Are we ready to party with
these honies tonight ladies?"
screeched the voice of the M.C.
Screams and cheers from nearly
250 girls rang in the bar. The
entertainment that they had
anxiously waited for was about to
begin. The IVIC. made her final
announcement, 'i>et me remind
you ladies of the rules. No one is
allowed on the dance floor while
the men are on it. And
remember, you are not allowed to
touch the men, but ... (her voice
became slow and suggestive) . . .
they may touch you!"
Again the screeching
(squealing) filled the room. The
M.C. continued, "and now will
you welcome . . . (a long pause) . .
. Pistol Pete!" The male craved
ladies jumped onto the brown-
rickety picnic tables on the
benches, and tabletops, for a
better view.
The place is New Gate Prison,
located on Grace Street in
Richmond. Every Monday night
four male dancwrs perform and
they may alternate every week.
Buddy, the owner of the bar said,
"Some come here because they
really enjoy it. Some come only
for the cheap beer." A dollar
cover charge is required and
pitchers are $1.50 all night long.
Guys aren't allowed in until after
10:00.
The first of the male go-go
dancers came running onto the
center of the dance floor. The
blue, red, green and gold lights
cast hues like that of a
kaleidescope onto the rough hewn
concrete floor. The response
from the girls was tremendous.
Was it his full-thick beard and
mustache or his two-toned red
and black G-string that created
such a reaction? And this was
just the beginning. Pistol Pete
danced around the floor trying to
get the girls interested in hira.
His thrusting pelvic movements
caught tile interest and attention
of some and disgusted others. He
bounced 14) to tables dancing
directly in front of the girls with
his hands over his head and
shaking his body. The song ended
and he ran off, back to the
dressing room.
The obnoxious, ear-piercing
voice of the M.C. shot out from
the speakers, "How'd you like
that ladies?" more screams from
the spectators. 'Just wait 'til you
see . . . Smoking Joe!" The door
to the dressing room was thrown
open and a greased-down body
darted out. The screams seemed
to grow louder this time. Smoking
Joe stuck his thumbs into the
black suspenders' and looked
down at his feet gliding across the
floor. As he looked up he caught
the eye of a girl and danced up to
her. She turned away from him,
rather embarrassed, and
reached for her beer, anything to
keep from having to look at him 3
inches in front of her. She looked
to her frigid for support, but she
only laughed and shook her head.
He moved to a few other tables
then back to the middle of the
floor. He was wanning up but the
music ended and he dashed
away.
The M.C. really played up the
next dancer. "Here he is ladies . .
. Kinky Ken!" When she called
his name, the girls went wild.
Those who had been quiet and
unstirred by the previous dsmcers
became alive and invigorated.
Kinky Ken truly stimulated the
crowd. The girls focused their,
there with a grain of salt. I've
met people out there that I could
never respect and others who I
know have what it takes to
become real men. People like
that are a rare find wherever you
are, at H-SC or Longwood or in a
career situation. These are the
kind of people you have to look for
wherever you are. I'm sure there
are guys that are great at
Longwood as well as Hampden-
Sydney. They are all just
people."
Opinions will vary but it seems
that some Longwood girls will
always party at Hampden-
Sydney. Whether the attraction
be their "attuned social graces"
or their wild parties, it is always
fun to go to parties and meet new
members of the opposite sex.
What better place for a girl to
meet one than at an all male
school '' . . .
Beverly is putting on the last
touches of her makeup. She looks
beautiful and ready for fun. She
has found something to wear, her
roommate's skirt and a blouse
she forgot she had. Her suitemate
and roommate are calling her
from the elevator. She takes one
last glance in the mirror and
smiles. Beverly knows she will
have a great time. She always
does.
attention on him. He seemed to be
the main reason for the girls to be
there in the first place. The
clamour continued throughout
his performance, which is
exactly what it turned out to be.
Kinky Ken knew how to respond
to the girls. He knew how to ke^
their cheers and enthusiasm
going and he loved every minute
of It
He boogied across the floor. His
outfit was flashy and bright. He
wore a red choker around his
neck with a small black bow tie.
Black leg warmers and wrist
bands clung to his body and were
trimmed with tissues which
wiggled wildly as he moved. Red
sequins glistened and reflected in
the light as he made his suave,
indicative movements in front of
the girls. Many of the girls were
on the edge of their seats with
their eyes glued to the dancer.
And when he left the stage, the
girls turned to one another to
express their approval and
satisfaction and compare notes.
Johnny Fever appeared with a
burst of energy and threw
lollipops into the audience. The
girls raced to retrieve them and
keep as a memoir. His motions
were rapid and jerky and
consisted of dozens of turns. At
times he seemed to be doing
exercise movements on the floor,
stretchmg and twisting. He
headed right for the girls while
showing them twitching
movements. Many heads turned
away in embarrassment.
The black G-string was rather
tight for his slightly overweight
body. But he didn't seem to mind.
He flaunted his body in front of
every table making eyes at any
interested girl. He maneuvered
his way off the dance floor as the
song faded out.
This was the end of the "warm-
up" period. From now on the
male dancers would be working
for money and handing out tokens
in return. The M.C. kept up her
talking throughout every dance.
She encouraged the girls to
support the guys with tips and
made conmients to the thought-
provolung movement of each
dancer. (Continued q^ p^gg j,^

party is designed to give us the
opportunity to wear Henry VIII's
black velvet hat with jewels or
Charles V's helmet. There are all
kinds of hats or headdresses,
scarves, helmets, turbans,
feathers and headbands.

favorite hat. For suggestions for
hats, go to the Reserve Room at
Lancaster Library and just
browse through the books, look at
the pictures, and have fun trying
to decide which hat you like the
best. List the title of the painting
or sculpture and the artist. You

Hard Times At Nottoway High
(Continued from Page 1)
didn't care.
"I wasn't prepared to walk into
an 11th or 12th grade classroom
and realize that the students
didn't even have a grip on the
language. It's difficult to imagine
a situation where senior high
students don't know what 'of and
'about' or 'around' are, they
didn't know the difference
between 'they're' and 'their' and
it made it all the more difficult
walking into a situation like that,
coming from Longwood; at
Longwood we had been taught
various methods for education,
those methods included a lot of
inductive learning, a lot of
patience for the students, a lot of
lo^e, a lot of understanding;
everything I had been taught at
Ix)ngwood I did not see in the
field. . . period. In other words,
we are very idealistically trained
and when you get out in the field,
things are not very idealistic,
things are very real."
She started them off like the
sobriquet for her class — in the
basics — letter writing and filling
out job application forms,
because "Let's face it, you can
teach the Scarlet Letter all you
want to, but when you're talking '
about kids who can't read and
can't write it's useless to teach
them about intrinsic value or
about life through literature; you
have to be pragmatic about it."
Sharon held mock interviews
with her students, forcing them to
dress the part, teaching them to
say 'no ma'am' and 'yes ma'am'
and if a student didn't meet her,
the employer's, approval she
said, "I'm not hiring you, get out
of here, you bum," and they did
and they came back again the
next time prepared. "I was
saying, 'This is the worst possible
employer that you could ever
meet, and this is how he's going
to critique you; he's going to say
it to your face.' "
She quizzed them on general
information like, "Who's the
President of the United States?"
or "What's the capital of
Richmond?" and sometimes
they'd know and sometimes they
wouldn't. She got close to them
emotionally, even big black
Ricky who "gotta go to the locker
room" and eventually she said,
"No, Ricky, you just came from
there, sit down," and he did. And
sometimes she wouldn't cry when
she went home to the Lloyds.
Sometimes there were
breakthroughs and they would
learn - LEARN!
It was a little project she had
assigned for the last day of her
class. Most of the students did not
write anything. Two did. One girl
copied verbatim out of the
encyclopedia. But a wiry,
muscular black boy in the back,
who never said a word during
class, who watched Miss Barton
and said, "Yes ma'am" and "No
ma'am" to her inquiries but
offered nothing else, whose dark
eyes seemed to rest blankly on

Sunny's Cafe : A Profile
By JEFF ABERNATHY
Judy Johnson takes a long,
easy drag off of her cigarette. She
talks like that one cool teacher in
high school — the one you really
could talk to — the one who was a
friend. "We thought we were
buying a turnkey operation here
— we wanted to bring a
progressive, avante-garde cafe to
Farmville."
When Johnson and ComeUa
Graves brought Sunny 's Cafe to
Farmville in August of 1981, they
were looking for a business with a
top priority of serving people,
establishing a restaurant with
something more than pizza and
frozen hamburger was important
to them.
"It was never just an
investment — never just the
money. We're crazy about food,
and that's where we've put our
values," said Johnson.
Graves added, "We've gone
through a lot of times when we
didn't think we were going to
make it — the only thing we could
do is keep going. It's the
creativity that has enabled us to
survive." If we were still looking
for high school metaphors,
Cornelia Graves is a lot like a
cheerleader without the frivolity
— she makes you smile.
There were exactly two cus-
tomers in Sunny's when I went
over for an interview. They were
lost somewhere behind the
whiskey barrels and the hay
bales. The cafe is quiet, relaxing;
the checked tablecloths and red
kerosene lanterns are conducive
to the easy-going atmosphere.
There is no juke-box in Sunny's —
no top forty muzak to listen to -
the speakers play low — Bob
Dylan, Carole King, James
Taylor.
Customers are regular —
usually coming in to drink a
pitcher and eat anything from
jalapeno-covered nachos to
cheese fondue. Most of them
know Cornelia and Judy — know
them and appreciate the friendly
atmosphere they've created.
"We don't get the type of
student that has to impress
everyone in the room — they're
kind of mellow," says Johnson,
"they're independent — they like
all kinds of music. When kids
come in here and know the words
to music written before they were
born, you know you're doing the
right thing. There are a lot of
people who come in here and
want to hear Olivia Newton-John,
but we want a wider span of
music — we want some of the off-
the-wall type stuff — not the
same top ten over and over
again."
"We're trying to appeal to the
individual," Graves said, "it
gives me so much joy having
people in here over a pitcher or
two."
Since Sunny's has moved into
Farmville, other restaurants
have come in with menus much
the same. Sunny's was the first
restaurant in town to have a
happy hour , and with others
following suit, the compe-
tition has heightened.
Johnson commented that "new
businesses in town have told the
college students that they would
drive us out that's not the
way to compete. Competition
should be through advertising —
let your restaurant speak for
itself. In the heat of competition
is the learning experience — that
gets down to creativity,
advertising, and business
management.
"Tony (Perini) is my favorite
competitor, we don't slander
each other. The community is
large enough for both of us to
make a living, and, in a small
town, the idea is we're all in this
together. We never came here
with the idea of putting anybody
out of business."
Cornelia Graves and Judy Johnson, owners of Sunny's Cafe sit back for a few minutes during a
long day.
Bringing in live music each
week creates a smokey bar,
coffee-shop type of image which
both owners are pleased with.
"The biggest kick is being in the
back and hearing people laugh,"
they both agreed. They bring in
musicians who play in small,
local bands; their music
complements the atmosphere —
from Dylan's "Blowin' In the
Wind" to Stafford's "Wildwood
Weed." They are paid with
supper, beer, and applause from
a small group of fifteen to twenty
people, mostly Longwood
students.
In years past, Johnson
observed, the students "had
learned to become a self-
contained community on
campus " but are now beginning
to come out into Farmville more
often. The image of Longwood as
a "suitcase college" is fading as
activities on and around campus
are increasing.
I'd finished most of my
interview and shot a whole roll of
film, so I sat down to have a beer
or two and relax. Arlo Guthrie's
"Alice's Restaurant" was
playing softly in the background.
Judy came over to finish the
interview as she sipped her
cherry coke. She told me about
Wintergreen, where she and
Cornelia worked before coming
to Farmville. She told me about
traveling around Europe with a
day-pack strung over her
shoulder — about living on the
Shenandoah River — about the
Wells Fargo & Company sign on
the wall — and she told me about
Sunny's.
"It's all been a constant
learning process — that's where
the fun comes in — trying
something and seeing what
works. Do you want to make
money or do you want to hold on
to what you think is right? That's
been a real value — judgment for
us. It's just holding on to that
value."

LC Baseball Team Wins 3 of 5
still struggling to get a winning |
streak going, Longwood's
nationally ranked basebaU team
won three of five games last week
for a 13-6 mark. Looming ahead is
an eight-day stretch in which the
Lancers still play 13 games.
Longwood coach Buddy
Bolding believes his team must
put together a strong finish if the
Lancers are to have any hopes of
returning to the NCAA South
Atlantic Regional Tournament.
"We still have a chance, but
we've got to get on a roll in this
last stretch of games," said the
coach. Longwood has been
hampered by the loss of 20 rained
out contests.
The Lancers suffered a tough 8-
6 loss at Maryland Baltimore
County in their latest action
Sunday, despite a three-run
homer by Doug Toombs and solo
shots from Allen Lawter and
David Rumburg. Longwood held
a 5-3 lead after scoring four in the

ripped a two-run homer,
freshman Chris Wilbum had two
hits and two RBI's and Toombs
had two hits in three trips to the
plate to pace the 8-7 win. Senior

Freshman Scott Mills pitched six
innings and got the win with
seventh inning relief help from
Todd Ashby. Mills allowed just
four hits.
Kingery (.365, 16 RBI's) and
Sullivan (.352, 16 runs) are
Longwood's top two hitters thus
far (stats do not include UMBC

Suffolk Natives Double Up For LC Tennis
By BECKY DUNK
Lisa Barnes and Barbara
Cathey are two of the most
talented tennis players in Suffolk
County. They are also teammates
at Longwood College.
Barnes and Cathey both
graduated from Suffolk High
School where they played No. 1
doubles together for several
years. But they have also been
opponents. While playing
summer tennis with the Suffolk
Tennis Association, the two have
battled it out on the court
Even though they have been
partners and opponents, Barnes
and Cathey have remained
friends both on and off the court.
"Barbara and 1 get along real
well," says Barnes.
"I don't mind playing No. 2
when Lisa's playing No. 1," says
Cathey. "It's tough playing No. 1
because you play the other
school's best player.
At Longwood, Barnes and
Cathey are again playing No. 1
doubles. "We've gotten stronger
as a doubles team since high
school," says Cathey. "Our
concentration has really
improved.
Earlier this season, Cathey was
the No. 1 seeded player, but
Barnes recently took the honors
from her. Presently, Barnes is
No. 1 and Cathey No. 2. The two
Suffolk natives challenge each
other several times a season for
the No. 1 position.
"We challenge each other and
switch back and forth from one to
two," says Cathey. "The
challenge system is good because
it keeps me trying to play my
best."
Barnes, a senior sociology
major, began her tennis career
as a freshman at Suffolk High. "I
had been playing since I was a
kid; I used to hit a ball up against
our garage. When I got to high
school, I decided to try out for the
team and made it.
"After high school I went to
Virginia State University. They
didn't have a tennis program so I
transferred to Longwood so I
could play again."
Coach Carrol Bruce has helped
Bames improve her game. "She
gives me the incentive to push
Lacrosse Team Evens up With Wins
Coming on strong after an 0-2
start, Longwood's women's
lacrosse team beat Mary
Washington 13-7 and Bridgewater
13-5 in action last week to even its
record at 2-2. Coach Jane Miller's
squad faces a busy stretch of
action this week.
Longwood hosts Randolph-
Macon Woman's College Tuesday
and HoUins Thursday with 3:00
starts and Saturday the I^dy
lancers play at Sweet Briar
(10:00) and face Notre Dame at
1:00. The four-game stretch will
close out the 1983 regular season.
Freshman Susan Groff scored
13 goals in last week's two
victories, nabbing seven in the 13-
7 win over Mary Washington
Thursday and six monre in the 13-
5 triumph over Bridgewater on
the road Saturday. Groff has
scored 21 goals in four games.
Backing up the Lady l..ancer
scoring leader were Cherie
Stevens with six goals in the wins,
Lisa Seivold with three and Ann
Holland with three. Teresa Alvis
also scored a goal in the win over
Bridgewater.
In an 11-7 loss to Lynchburg
Tuesday, Groff scored three,
while Holland, Stevens, Mary
Garrison and Rala Heinen scored
one. Lorraine Hall had several
strong performances from her
goalkeeper position last week.
myself more," Barnes says.
"When I make mistakes she
encourages me to forget it and
keep going."
Barnes' record speaks for
itself: six wins against only one -
loss this season. Bames was also
named LC Player of the Week in
late March.
Cathey's 2-3 record so far this
season hardly reflects her ability
to play and win. While playing
tennis in Suffolk, she won various
local titles. In 1980, she was the
runner-up in the 18 and under
category of the Suffolk Junior
Invitational Tournament, and in
1981 was the 18 and under champ
in the same tournament. Last
summer, Cathey won the Local
Women's Championship and
teamed up with Barnes to
capture the doubles title.
According to coach Bruce,
"Lisa has been playing very
strong tennis lately. She
definitely deserves to be No. 1.
Lisa's biggest strength lies in her
ability to keep cool and not get
nervous."
Like Barnes, Cathey started
playing tennis in Suffolk, only at
ONE MORE TIME — Longwood's Susan Groff scores one of seven goals In win over Blue Tide.
Groff Named LC Player of the Week
Freshman Susan Groff
scored seven goals and added
two assists Thursday
afternoon, leading Longwood
to a 13-7 lacrosse victory over
Mary Washington. For her
efforts, Groff has been named
Longwood College Player of
the Week for the period April
8-15 by the Longwood sports
information office.
Also a standout on the
Longwood field hockey team
in the fall, Groff has scored 21
goals and has more than six
assists while helping
Longwood compile a 2-2
record. The offensive leader of
a young Lady Lancer team,
Groff has displayed great
quickness and leadership.
"Sue's contributions are not
limited to scoring," said
Coach-^ane Miller. "She
played persistent lacrosse this
week all over the field. She
turned in two super
performances."
A graduate of East High
School in West Chester,
Pennsylvania, Groff played on
exceptionally talented teams
in both field hockey and
lacrosse and also played
basketball one year.
Each won the state lacrosse
title in 1980 anrf^ earned a spot
in the semi-finals the following
two years. Susan made
honorable mention All-League
in field hockey in 1981. She was
also named to Who's Who
Among American High School
Students.
a much younger age. She got
involved with the Suffolk Tennis
Association at age 10 and has
been a member ever since.
"Tennis is v. big deal in
Suffolk," says Cathey, a
sophomore majoring in
Elementary Education. "They
have a real strong program.
Cathey feels that coach Bruce
has had a positive influence on
her game. "Mrs. Bruce is a great
coach," she says. "She's really
interested in each player. She has
helped me organize my time so I
can get my work done and still
play tennis. As a Longwood
graduate herself, she can relate
to all the work we have to do."
Even though Cathey's present
record contains more losses than
wins, coach Bruce feels her game
is on the upswing. "Barbara has
the potential for a winning
season," she says. "She has a lot
of strength and beautiful
execution. She simply needs to
calm down and not get nervous on
the court."
In several weeks, Bames will
graduate and only Cathey will
remain to carry on the Suffolk
tradition.

For some girls the inteiest died
down after the first few sets of
dancers. But for others the fun
was just beginning. Each time a
guy would come out, he'd have
some type of token to give to a
girl as she slipped a dollar
between his teeth or into his G-
string. These tokens consisted of
silk roses, clip-on feathers,
buttons, necklaces, bumper
stickers ... To receive this
money, the girls lined up in a
circle waving their dollar in the
air and the dancers went around
to each one. He would dance for a
minute then move on down the
line.
Two of the dancers were
running a close tie as far as
Tuesday, Aprill9, 1983
popularity. The other two,
however, left much to be desired.
By working only for tips, they
were having problems. Kinky
Ken dances for a living in bars in
different towns. For him, the
money isn't so bad.
According to Buddy, the owner
of this bar, "Kinky Ken runs the
show. I pay him a set amount in
salary and he recruits the
dancers and organizes the show,"
he lights up a cigarette and
continues. "We hold amateur
night here once a month. Anyone
can try out to be a dancer. It's
open to the public so all can come
watch. Kinky Ken picks the guys
he wants in his shows. I stay out
of it all."
Some workers at Newgate

on the dancing. "It's disgusting.

A second statement was, "It's
cheap. You can compare these
girls to the same type of guys that
go to strip shows . . . You don't
see many Wall Street business
men in there."
One guy likes to eavesdrop on
girls' conversations while they're
in the ladies room. "You can just
stand outside by the backdoor
and hear everything the girls say.
And you wouldn't believe some of
the things that come out of their
mouths."
Come to find out, the ladies
room is where the action is. This
is the chance for girls to show off
their collection of souvenirs ... to
see who spent the most money
and danced the most times.
Comments such as, "He's great, I
love him," "Kinky Ken is
awesome," and "I'm going to
keep these forever!" (in
reference to a collection of
souvenirs) were the topics for
many conversations.
One girl expressed her mad

pull the sequins off his outfit! " A
second girl became the envy of
all when she said, "The mother off
a very good friend of mine makes
aU Kinky Ken's outfits."
The dancers danced from 8:00
to 10:00 and entertained girls
from ages 18 to about 23.
Newgate, with its cold brick
walls, concrete floor, seemed to
be a regular hangout on Monday
nights for some girls. "I come
here every Monday night," said
one young girl who looked about
16 years old. Other girls come
just for the wie time exposure to
such dancing and entertainment.
The dancers were assisted by a
number of props which they used
as additional entertainment to
their dance. Punk-rock glasses,
leather whips, bow-ties and
bandanas added that extra touch
to their performance.
The screeching and squealing
encourages the dancers to
continue their movements and
flirting, which is what brings
some girls back every week.
Many girls could care less and
lose interest quickly in the
dancers. A dollar for a 60-second
dance is heaven to some girls . . .
others wouldn't waste their
money, they just had to come for
the experience.

Johnson Loses Battle - Wins War
By JOHNEL D. BROWN
The Publications Board of
Longwood College met
Wednesday, April 20, to hear
charges brought against Joe
Johnson, Editor of The Rotunda
concerning the article "Hard
Times at Nottoway: A Student
Teacher's Perspective" that
appeared in the April 19 issue.
After four and one-half hours of
deliberation, the Board voted "to
reprimand and effective
immediately to remove Joe
Johnson as editor of The Rotunda
for irresponsible and unethical
journalistic practices ..." on the
grounds of "(1) Failure to
provide an opportunity iot the
interviewee, Sharon Barton, to
review the article prior to
publication after telling the
interviewee that he would allow
her to do so, and (2) The use of
real names of some of the high
school students referred to in the
article, despite his assurance to
the intei-viewee that he would use
anonymous names."
According to due process,
Johnson had the right to appeal
the decision of the Board and he
chose to exercise that right. In a
letter of appeal to Dr. Janet
Greenwood, he said that "to be
removed as editor because of a
mistake is both unfair and
illegal."
It was brought to Johnson's
attention that there wa.s nn ^gg ^Qt entirely based on his
constitution, standards or by- offense
laws that the Publications Board The ' situation has done
followed. At the very first everything but de-escalate, in
meetmg of the Board last month, fact it has mushroomed.
Phvlhs Mable, Chairman, Reporters from The Richmond-
distributed a copy of a jj^es Dispatch and The News
constitution used by the 1974 Leader covered the story and
Publications Board. When asked printed several articles. "Hard
why Section 3 of the Constitution, Times at Nottoway High: A
guidelines and procedures for student Teacher's Perspective,"
removal of editors-in-chief, was
not followed in the firing of
Johnson, Mable said, "That's not
our constitution. That's only a
copy of another Board's
constitution for us to consider. I
don't think we intend to fonn a
constitution, but we will set some
journalistic standards."
Johnson claimed that due
process was not granted him in
the hearing that led to his
removal as editor. Johnson was
given two hours to prepare a
defense and to make
arrangements for an attorney to
appear with him. Due process
guarantees adequate time to
prepare defense.
In an appeals hearing last
Wednesday, April 27, Johnson
and his advisor. Dr. Frank, met
with Dr. Greenwood. One of
Johnson's main grounds for
appeal was that firing him was
the simplest political expedient
for Ix)ngwood to "de-escalate the
situation." And that his removal
appeared in full in the April 26
edition of the Crewe-Burkeville
Journal. There have also been
accounts printed in the Nottoway
paper.
In an afternoon meeting with
Johnson and Dr. Frank, Dr.
Greenwood vacated the decision
of the Board, and scheduled a re-
trial for Monday, May 2. Johnson
met with Greenwood again on
Friday and filed a letter of
resignation as Editor of The
Rotunda under conditions to be
met by Dr. Greenwood. They are
as follows:
1. Tha* Dr. Greenwood appoint
an Ad hoc committee whose
membership will be foremed
according to the consititution of
the 1974 Publications Board
(which included faculty advisors
and editors of student
publications) and Dr.
Greenwood's newly appointed
board. This Ad Hoc committee
will unanimously ratify a

Greenwood: The Lady...
The President
To the Student Body:
The article which
appeared in the April 19
issue of the Rotunda
entitled "Hard Times at
Nottoway High: A Student
Teacher's Perspective"
was completely factual and
an accurate representation
of Nottoway's Basic
English class, and Miss
Barton's tenure as a
student teacher there. I
apologize for the use of
actual names in the article.
It was a mistake which
should not have occurred
under any circum.stances.
Signed, Joe Johnson

BRRRRRING!
A hand slaps down onto the
snooze alarm. It's 5:45 a.m. She
rolls back over to catch that extra
15 minutes of sleep. But she
doesn't sleep. She's looking
ahead, thinking about the day's
activities ... a meeting with Dr.
Haltzel and Don Lemish ... the
president of SPE . . . SGA
activities ... the Fireside Chat
that evening . . . she's organizing
her thoughts, planning a time
schedule. BRRRRRING! 6:00.
Her thoughts are cut short by
the snooze alarm. She reaches for
the glasses on her bedside table,
throws her blanket aside, and
reaches for her robe. She heads
towards Jerry's room to wake
him up and get ready for school.
Her mother is downstairs
cooking breakfast. At 7:00 the
three of them eat together in the
kitchen, where the family spends
most of their time together. By
7:30 she and Jerry are walking
out the door. She drops Jerry off
at the bus stop at 7 : 45. By 8: 00 she
is in her office, preparing to start
the day.
She opens her black ap-
pointment book. The time slots
are penciled in with names,
appointments, meetings ... a day
carefully planned, every hour
occupied.
It's 10:30 a.m. She's in her
office rocking in a black wooden
rocker with a tan wide-wale
corduroy cushion. The student
she is meeting with chooses the
green, orange, and blue flowered
love seat. He has come with a
problem with one of his pro-
fessors, concerning a grade on
a test with which he does not
agree. He's not sure how to
approach the teacher about it.
"Let's act it out," said Dr.
Greenwood. "I'll be you, the
student, and you be your teach-
er." She makes a fist and knocks
on an invisible door. "Come in,"
replied the student. She opens the
door. "I have a problem I need to
talk to you about," she says. "I
don't agree with the grade you
gave me on this last test. I think it
was graded unfairly." She
proceeds to act out the role
portraying herself as a
frustrated, confused student.
A strong flow of
communication between her and
the student was established
immediately. In one-on-one
conversations Janet Greenwood
is very alert and responsive. She
is able to relate to a diverse group
of people and modifies her
behavior to the level of the person
with whom she is speaking.
Her background in psychology
obviously influences her in
dealing with other people,
knowing how to relate to them
and role play. It helps her gain an
understanding of people quickly
and respond to them accurately.
Role playing may stem from

Janet Greenwood: A Profile
(Continued from Page 1)
her background as a dramatic
actress, one of her personalities.
"In high school I was active in
dramatics. I was on the stage a
lot doing plays. At one point in
time I had to make a decision
about whether or not to go into
drama full time. I chose not to for
various reasons. I had the chance
to have a part in the play, The
Lost Colony, in North Carolina."
Acting and stage performance
proved to be a basic overall
shaping prior to her college
years. It was an asset, having
gotten used to being in front of a
crowd of people. It built self-
confidence and poise which is
required in her position today.
Along with drama, Dr.
Greenwood was active in the
dance team and the band. "I
believed in doing activities which
people observed and there was
recognition for doing a fine job."
This belief obviously still holds
true today, with somewhat of a
spotlight on her and still the
recognition.
The drive and motivation
which helped her through the
years started in her early
childhood. "I remember being
told of an aunt of mine who was a
surgeon," she said. "Women in
professions had it rough back
then. That had a great influence
on me." And as she grew older,
especially in high school, she
made an extra effort to fend for
herself and develop her own
ideas.
Janet lived her high school
years to their fullest potential. "I
always 'thought it better to be
well-rounded than a bookworm,"
she began. "If making straight
A's meant nothing but studying, I
would never do that. With
activities I always thought it
important to participate in them
actively rather than passively.
At 39 years of age, Janet
Greenwood is vivacious and
purposeful. She has set goals and
standards for herself which she is
determined to m.aintain and
achieve. Her presidential
disposition enables her to become
active in many areas on campus
at an Accrediting Review, "This
is one of the busiest campuses
I've ever been at. There is always
something to do.
She has an extremely well-
rounded background which is a
great asset to her in her
presidential position. Janet
Greenwood has found, "There is
no time for personal life."
Her life mainly centers around
her career and she finds her
personal life has diminished.
"That's the price you pay. The
competing demands of the job
and the family are substantial
enough. For example, what I call
personal time is sitting down
reading a book for enjoyment.
And I get a chance maybe twice a
year to get my hair done and be
pampered. That's about it. There
just simply is not the personal
time."
As she found many of her
friends in the same position say,
"You have to put your personal
life on the back burner."
Very rarely is Janet
Greenwood's personal life ever
removed from the back burner.
When she can she tries to
combine business with pleasure,
but this chance does not occur
very often. Working 15-17 hours a
day with only minutes of free
time between meetings has
become a natural way of life for
her. And she gets by with six
hours of sleep a night.
When asked to describe a
typical week. Dr. Greenwood
laughed and said, "Is there a
typical week?" Her schedule for
days varies. She generally works
from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., often
without lunch. But the work does
not stop there. Even at home
there is paperwork and tasks to
do which she couldn't get to
during the day. Quite often there
are college-related activities and
entertainments which she must
hostess or attend.
These evening activities are
varied . . . dinners, cocktail
parties, faculty meetings ... all
of which tend to be very casual as
Dr. Greenwood puts emphasis on
a casual and relaxed
atmosphere.
It's Thursday, March 3, 5:00
p.m. Ix)ngwood scholars and
prospective scholars are arriving
at the President's House for
dinner. ARA is serving one of
Janet Greenwood's own creations
— what she calls a Japanese
Mountain Dinner.
Dr. Greenwood comes
downstairs in her light blue Ultra
Suede suit and walks to the
kitchen, a final check to make
sure everything is ready. It's
time to play the role as hostess.
She walks into the dining room,
pausing to talk to faculty
members and students. The
doorbell rings. She walks through
the foyer with grace and style.
She opens the door, greeting the
guests with a wide smile, taking
their coats and engaging them in
conversation. She directs them to
the parlor to mingle with the
other guests.
Nearly 20 minutes later the
guests are led to the foyer where
the buffet is arranged. Poised on
the bottom of the stairs. Dr.
Greenwood gathers everyone in
front of the long table with its
white tablecloth and blue ruffle
draped to the floor.
Her fondness of gourmet food
may be her reason for such a
distaste for junk foods. As it was
in college, "I used to live off of
pecan twirls, fritos, and Pepsis."
However, when she misses lunch
or dinner she said, "I often come
home and drink three or four diet
Pepsis and eat a few slices of
cheese and an apple."
Her avoidance of junk foods
helps Janet Greenwood to stay
slim. "I don't believe in dieting to
lose weight unless it is done with
the aid of appropriate foods." She
is a firm believer in proper food
and nutrition.
Her style of dress is casual and
conservative.
Casualness is also noticeable
through Janet Greenwood's
mannerisms. It is Wednesday,
March 2, 7:00 p.m. ... a Fireside
Chat at the President's House.
Faculty members are in the
sitting room, conversing,
attention back to the speaker.
From upstairs comes clatter and
rustling, Jerry getting into
something. She glances upward
at the ceiling and shakes her
head.
At the end of the night she
settles back. She leans against a
table, stretches her legs out in
front of her, hands behind her
back. She's thinking she will have
a few minutes to spend with
Jerry.
drinking coffee and soft drinks.
Dr. Greenwood walks down the
stairs. Pausing halfway down she
turns around, relaying an au-
thoritative "No" to her son . . .
blunt and final. She walks down
the last few steps ready to greet
her guests. Her eyes are
sparkling and she smiles.
Moments later everyone
congregates in the sitting room.
The chairs dispersed around the
worn oriental rug begin to fill up.
Janet Greenwood sits down in a
worn, white wicker chair. She
crosses her legs, adjusts her
glasses and folds her arms in
front of her. The speaker begins.
As she progresses, Janet
Greenwood becomes less
attentive. Occasionally she
glances about the room observing
the guests. She fiddles with
her nails, her fingers, a piece
of jewelry, then directs her
After 15 hours of business she
looks fresh and alert. The bright
yellow suit emphasizes her
glowing personality. A faculty
member approaches saying,
"You look as if you haven't done
anything all day." Dr.
Greenwood replies jokingly. "Oh,
No. I've just been resting up all
day just for this entertainment."
After two years it is obvious she
has built up a tolerance to her
tedious days.
She has a great sense of humor
which she uses to her advantage
at times. It is dinner. The table is
set formally and with elegance. . .
with her ARA dinnerware. A
guest arrives late and tries to slip
quietly into his chair knocking
plates and silverware, causing a
big scene. "Like I said, make
yourself at home," laughed Dr.
Greenwood, lessening his
embarrassement.
At a social hour for the
Accrediting Review her self-
confidence and sophistication are
visible. She talks slowly and
precisely . . . properly. She folds
her arms in front of her, shifts
her weight to one side and swings
her leg in front of her, slightly off
to the side. She rests on the heel
of her shoe, twisting it side to
side, side to side . . .
She walks across the room into
the foyer. She places one foot on
the bottom stair and leans
against the banister. There are
two other women there, talking
about their children and Dr.
Greenwood talks about her 11
year old Jerry. The conversation
shifts to the Miss Longwood
Pageant.
She moves onto other guests.
Her movements are smooth and
distinct occasionally as she talks.
She uses hand motions for
emphasis.
The men and women here are
from all over the U.S. They are
fascinated by Janet Greenwood.
"She's quite a lady," "She's
remarkable", "a unique
individual" were comments they
use to describe her. They are
curious about her, asking one
another questions concerning
her. They are interested in her
many roles.
Thursday, 8:00 a.m. Janet
Greenwood is sitting behind her
desk checking her datebook. She
sets it aside, time for coffee.
She walks down the hall to the
dining hall, making her daily
visit. She is greeted by students
and faculty members. She takes
time to talk to everyone while she
drinks her coffee. She is in no
hurry, as if she has plenty of time
to spare, just as she is in her
office in meetings with
individuals. She avoids being
rushed and allows time for casual
conversation whenever possible.
She gets another cup of coffee,
adds Sweet 'n' Ix)w. . . back to the
office. She and I are back in her
office ... I have been observing
her for two weeks, attending
meetings, dinners and speeches
with her, following her all day
long, watching her act out her
roles and portray her many
personalities.
She directs me to the chair
behind her desk. "You be
Madam President for the day,"
she says. "I'll come around onto
this side. Make yourself
comfortable, move whatever you
need to move." The two make
small talk which leads to Janet
Greenwood's college days.
Her role as an R.A. is brought
up. "I took an R.A. position in a
dorm with apathetic students. My
goal was to change its image."
For Janet Greenwood the
leadership and motivation was
apparent even then.
She worked at various jobs
during the summer to pay for
college. "I found all of these
experiences (her different jobs)

Green and Whites Show True Color
A Review
By DAVm S. AREFORD
One might call this a "review," but the subject matter of this article
is hardly deserving of a detailed examination. It is a program that is
so shallow and thin, so worthless that the effort of a "review" would be
wasted. But in the name of justice, the following thoughts have been
recorded. The inspiration for these thoughts took place on Tuesday,
April 26 — "A day that will live in infamy." If you missed this event, do
not be upset, for all you missed was the "Senior Assembly" — one of
the worst events (next to Oktoberfest) to limp across Jarman's stage.
Let us hope that the messy green and white trail they left behind can
be cleaned up for good.
First of all, the title "Senior Assembly" seems to be a front for this
all-too-familiar clique of "Rah-Rahs." You know who they are and
they certainly do not represent Longwood's Senior class; they
represent and promote themselves.
Just what do these people stand for? ! They call themselves "Rah-
Fiahs"; they object to and criticize The Rotunda; they support the
administration. But wait — the bulk of their assembly included skits
which criticized the administration — not just light comedy, but
vicious, biting "satire" (which is too fine of a word to stand for this
trash). The final skit was "A day with Dr. Greenwood," in which each
Longwood administrator reported to the president answering the
question, "What have you done today to mess up the students?"
Are these people "two faced?" Do they work with administration
to enhance their position when in actuality they could not care less
about Longwood's administrators or the "sun-burst" image? They
have certainly confused their position.
One skit confused me even more. The skit involved three
characters: an Army recruiter, played by Ross Conner, interviewing
two young men, one of which was "Blow Johnson," played by John
Todd, and the other was "Walt," played by Mark Winecoff. The crude
take-off on Joe Johnson's name and the stereotypical representations
of homosexual speech, dress, and actions gave a clue to what was to
follow. I'm sure that the individuals involved strongly objected to
"Running Scared," a previous article in The Rotunda, and this skit
was supposed to express that objection, but if "Running Scared" was
crude and a bad reflection on Longwood, then this was equally crude
and tasteless.
The recruiter's first question to "Walt: " "How big are you?" Then
the "Walt" character asked what he would be doing in the army. The
recruiter answered, "You'd be mostly in the rear." Then "Walt:" "I
want to do something with my hands." "You mean a hand-job?," the
recruiter asked. Then "Walt:" "Can I get a head?," to which the
recruiter answered, "Oh, you can just hang out." Thank goodness that
is all the puns that the writers of this garbage came up with.
What is this "blue and white" and "green and white" spirit, this
"spirit of Longwood" that these people always brag about? I had
assumed it was friendship, honor, commitment, love for your fellow
man — in short, some of the main principles of Christianity — a "love
thy neighbor as thyself" and "turn the other cheek" code of living.
Boy! was I wrong.
The skit mentioned above proves my point. Not only did the
writers pick one of the touchiest issues of this year, but these believers
in "green and white love" showed their true colors — bigotry, cruelty,
name-calling and a total lack of respect for their fellow human beings.
The skit was a vicious and unwarranted attack on a member of the
Longwood student body. Do these people have no sense of decency? It
is hard for me to understand such cruelty and hatred.
An ironic twist to this evening of bad entertainment was the
disheartening revelation that two of the "Walt" skit members, Ross
Conner and John Todd, were members of one of the supposedly most
well respected and prestigious organizations on campus — Chi.
If these people wish to display their faults in public, thank good-
ness that this was their last effort. The individuals who made up the
program have twisted a knife into their own gut and have added
another loss for the ragged "color-class" army. The battle is over. Let
this group fade away. Their banner of green, red, and blue is tattered
and there is no hope of repairing it. Let it fall to the ground and be
buried and forgotten.
Letter to
Nottoway
High
To Nottoway High School,
I apologize for the use of actual
names in the April 19 Rotunda
article entitled "Hard Times at
Nottoway High — A Student
Teacher's Perspective." It was
not meant to be an intentionally
malicious article. The names
appeared through an oversight on
my part for which I take full
responsibility.
Although damage has been
done, I hope the student body and
faculty of Nottoway High School
can understand the reasons
behind such an article as well as
Sharon Barton's desire to go
through with an interview
leading to the article.
We had both hoped that it would
lead towards an understanding of
the difficulties facing adolescents
today and towards a more
practical approach in dealing
with "problem" students that one
could find in any high school in
the United States.
Again, I can only reiterate how
sorry I am that this article has
caused so much pain. 1 wish it
could have been helpful, as was
my intention. A copy of this letter
will appear in The Rotunda,
Longwood College's student
newspaper.
Signed, Joe Johnson

By Garry M. Callis
On Tuesday, April 19, The
Rotunda released an article on
the front page of this edition
entitled "Hard Times at
Nottoway High. . . A Student
Teacher's Perspective." This
contraversial article created a
great amount of racial tension at
Nottoway High School and here
at Longwood.
The black students here at
Longwood received this article as
a direct slap in the face. The plot
of the article itself, we would all
freely admit, is one that would be
classified as news anywhere (in
that 18, 19 and 20 year olds
lacking reading skills and are
very close to illiteracy is
something everyone would care
to know about). But, of course,
there is a way to present any type
of bizarre and unusual situation
or occurrance. The strong use of
adjectives describing each
individual was tasteless and
unnecessary. The use of real
names and the actual school
system showed a lack of
sensitivity and irresponsibility.
When we (Alliance of Black
Students) first sat down to
discuss the article, everyone had
mixed feelings. At the meeting,,
along with us, was the Dean off
Student Affairs, Ms. Phyllis
Mable along with Miss Sharon
Barton (the student teacher that
is mentioned throughout the
article). The room in which we
met was filled with anger and
tension. The ABS wanted nothing
less than a formal apology from
The Rotunda. The article was
taken apart at the conference line
by Une. Certain things Uke:
"They're out there. . .12th grade
black boys twice as bie and twice
as dark. . ." and other racial
comments made during the
duration of the article were the
items of discussion that evening.
The next day a few black
representatives met with Dr.
Greenwood. After this meeting
things started falling into place.
The Rotunda is supposed to be
representative of all Longwood
students. The way the article was
written was representative of
only the white majority. But we,
the black minority, are still
represented by this paper and
would not like to see this type of
thing happen again.

They came out in blue robes at
10:00 to the parking lot of Wygal
Music Building April 2& and sang
their songs — CHI — decked out
to the hilt in full blossom, who, if
one didn't know their purpose,
would assume they were a band
of KKK looking for stray ethnics
to bum crosses on their lawn or
lynch, perhaps. But, of course,
Chi is not the KKK. They are,
according to Stephen Meyers,
senior Chi member an
organizational whose purpose it
is to maintain "the spirit" of
Longwood College, by giving
commendations to those who do
not always receive recognition
and by handing out Chi stamped
waxed sealed bottles of ashes.
The organization orginated
sometime in 1900 at Longwood
College and started such unique
traditions as painting abstract
symbols on sidewalks and
wearing robes. No one knows
exactly why they started or why
they paint abstract symbols on
sidewalks or why they give
people commendations with
ashes. >k) one is even sure who
they are. They're a mysterious
bunch — these hooded people.
According to what Chi
members announced at the
ceremony last Tuesday they are
the personification of the
"pursuit of sincere leadership,
scholarship, fellowship and the
continuance of the blue and white
spirit. . .Chi is an ideal spiritt that
cannot be found in any one person
— You are that spirit, you are the
Chi to whom we burn."
I'm Chi? Come on fellows, the
only thing I know about you is
your robes and the blue
carnations you set in the dining
hall when you're about to appear.
I've heard rumors though.
When Chi was in its infancy and
Longwood was still an all female
institute it is rumored Chi would
commend some students but
would take disciplinary
measures against others. They
would single out students guilty
of a certain offense and catch
them alone in their dorm rooms
or on campus grounds and circle
them screaming mystic chants
and accusations. It is rumored
one female student died of a heart
attack because of Chi efforts.
But that doesn't happen
anymore, Chi just conunends
students, faculty or
administrators in ceremonies
like the one on April 26, where
they burn boxes and chant
names, make broad
proclamations and single out
people they feel are worthy of
praise.
Membership in the
organization is kept strictly
secret and members are only
revealed at the annual "burning"
ceremonies when the seniors
remove their hoods and show
their proud faces.
Looking into the face of a Chi
member is like watching Teriasis
reincarnated, it's like wisdom
and omnescience unveiled. These'
are the students who hold
Longwood's spirit in their hands.
They're prophets maybe, or
augurers of some type. They read
the entrails of Longwood and
proceed to prophesize. It's really
a beautiful scene.
Their genius for choice of
people to be commended should
be pointed out. Last year they
commended a convience store.
This year they commended Dr.
Greenwood and Phylis Mable
who it must be admitted do a fine
job at being President and Vice-
president of Longwood College,
respectively. Years from now,
people will look back at this
commendation and say "imagine
that, Chi knew enough to
commend the President and one
of the Vice-presidents of
Longwood — can't pull the rugs
over those Chi eyes. They know
what's going on, yes sir, what
foresight."
No doubt about it. When 200-300
people get together at 10:00 on a
Tuesday night to watch a group of
hooded students commend a
oerson who makes close to
$50,000 a year for doing her job
— that's something really
mystical. Downright
miraculous, only Longwood couia
have pulled it off. . .with the spirit
of Chi, of course.
consistent with the development
of the kind of credentials that
made the difference when the
interviews came along."
Janet Greenwood attended
Peace College in Raleigh, N. C,
with a concentration in teaching.
After two years she transferred
to East Carolina and had a double
major in English and psychology.
"I joined a sorority where, after
being an only child, I learned how
to negotiate with people. It
proved to be an enriched learning
experience."
Bom and raised in Goldsboro,
N.C., Janet Greenwood stayed
there through her fifth year post
bachelor's degree. "At that time
I finished my master's degree in
counseling while I had been
working in merchandising part
time. After a two year counseling
position in a hospital, I decided I
wanted to work with college age
and older adults. I went back to
school to get my doctorate
degree. It was around this time I
decided there were three things I
wanted to do in life and in no
particular order."
These three things consisted
of:
1 ) teaching graduate
education; 2) become a
university administrator; 3) do
psychotherapy and
organizational consulting.
"It was in 1973 I made the
decision to become a college
president. I started working
towards that goal. I wanted to
reach it within 10 years.
"I had to make a lot of
compromises and give up a lot of
things. I feel that I couldn't have
done it unless I had a lot of
support because there are so
many obstacles and so many
chances to quit and give up.
Without adequate support and
self-confidence, I know I would
have never done it.
Janet Greenwood sat back in
her chair and fiddled with a pen
on her desk. "The easiest way to
do it was just not to do it at all.
But that was not her style. She
enjoyed a challenge and was full
of potential and determination.
Her office, decorated in
contrasting blues and oranges
allowed for a warm setting. The
two love seats in their bold
flowered print looked
comfortable and "homey." A
rocker was placed at the end
between them, the chair Dr.
Greenwood chose mostly during
meetings. Scattered throughout
her office were pictures,
photographs, diplomas and odd
knick-knacks, obviously
sentimental memoirs.
Behind her desk two walls were
shelved with hundreds of books.
Among these were books on
Freud and Gestalt, a Webster
dictionary, books on counseling,
the family, psychology ... all of
which were standing at different
angles.
Her desk had a glass cover on
it. Under it lay various comic
strips. Amongst them was one of
her favorites. Beetle Bailey,
photographs ... of Jack Nicklaus
and of horses. A horseback-rider,
another one of her characters.
But there is not much time for
that to fit into her schedule. A
phone, a box of blue kleenex
tissues, a lamp, mail, a pen
holder and stacks of papers were
neatly arranged on her desk. On
her stereo she was playing
classical music. The grandfather
clock chimed to the time and
echoed throughout the office.
Dr. Greenwood took a sip of
coffee from the dining hall cup.
I She began talking about Jerry . . .
the mothering role. As much time
as possible is devoted to Jerry.
This includes during the week as
well as weekends. During warm
weather they enjoy going to
Kings Dominion and Busch
Gardens. Extra effort is made to
spend time with him and his
friends, taking them on all day
ventures. Dr. Greenwood also
spends extra time with him on
homework.
Between the two, they maintain
an open relationship and
communication. "We have a
pretty good understanding of
what we expect of each other.

Life in Cox: Broken Bottles & Shorty
. . .r _ , .-_ he iin on first floor before wish tn live on the hall. w
By MIKE LYNCH
"Hey there! How ya doin?"
The man making the small talk is
a janitor. He turns around and is
greeted by two more students.
"Whaddya say? What's up this
mornin boys?" His assignment is
to keep clean the closest thing to
a Hell-hole on Longwood
College's campus; Cox
Dormitory. His name is Ken
Giles but all the residents of Cox
simply call him "Shorty", and
because of his hard work and
congeniality on the job, Cox is a
much better place to live than
before.
To say that it looks as if a
hurricane hit after two straight
nights of partying in Cox is an
understatement. As the typical
man of Cox looks out of his door
on a Sunday morning he can tell
how things went. An unfortunate
freshman limps back to his room
after having wandered out into
the hall, having learned one of the
principles lessons of a morning in
Cox before Shorty has been there.
Don't walk barefoot in the halls.
His foot is bleeding after having
located a spot where somebody
broke a bottle the night before.
Somebody else walks by and
due to the beer covered floor, his
Nike's sound like the soles are
made of suction-rubber. It is as if
somebody is ripping one of those
rubber mats you put in a shower
off the surface repeatedly as the
student paces by. The Cox man
looks back in his room at the
bottles and food cluttered across
it. Tables and lamps are knocked
over. The closet doors are
knocked off their tracks and are
resting on the clothes that are
still hamging up. "Must have had
a good time, last night," the Cox
man says to himself.
From inside the bathroom
comes a nasty stench and the
sounds of a young man who
sounds as if he is gagging. "Oh
Christ, I've got nothing left to
throw up! Just let me lay down
and die!" comes a voice
reverberated by the bare tiles. "I
guess he had a good time last
night too," observes the Cox
man. "For a while anyway."
Inside the bathroom are some
empty kegs, the stale beer on top
beginning to smell like it should
be flushed down the John along
with whatever the retching young
man is depositiong in it. "Yeah, I
definitely had a good time," the
Cox man states.
For one final check, he opens
up his wallet which is empty.
"Great time!"
"It's unique. That's a good
word," said Tom Nanzig,
Director of Housing, when his
opinions on Cox were asked of.
"A lot of people have probably
said nasty things about it. And
that's unfortunate because there
are probably many people who
have enjoyed their friendships
and their relationshios." And the
best relationship Nanzig
mentioned was the relationship
between Shorty Giles and
anybody who should happen to
meet him. "He is the most
responsible, dependable
custodial worker that I have
gotten to know. He is just ... he
goes. He goes at his work with
both fists."
First floor is the plainest
looking full-size floor in Cox. No
murals are painted on the wall
and nothing is posted on the
bulletin board. Anyone who has
any intentions of posting
announcements or Slater menues
or relavent news articles knows
that that piece of paper will
probably be torn down before the
end of the day. Shorty will often
be up on first floor before
daylight, doing his chores. And
even that early in the morning he
is open and talkative to anyone
who might be alert enough to
converse with him.
Unlike your typical student
tour guide, who only points out
wish to live on the hall.
And like everyone else, the
Delta hall is appreciative of
Shorty for at least somewhat
keeping the inherent chaos of
second floor under control.
"Shorty's made this place 100
percent better than it was before
Cox dorm long enough to identify he got here. He's shown he cares,
it as a place to avoid. Shorty is and by doing that, he's made us
fond of the men living in the
building he nearly
singlehandedly takes care of. "I
think they're good guys and I
have really enjoyed working with
them. I haven't worked with
anybody better." When reminded
that these men are the rowdiest,
noisiest, most destructive people
on campus. Shorty seems
unperturbed. "Well, they have
their times." As for the mess,
"When there's that many guys in
one building, you're gonna have
that."
On second floor, the green and
yellow mural that extends
halfway down the hall makes it
obvious whose territory this hall
is. Delta Sigma Phi, spelled out in
the greek initials, dominates the
view of the hall and the men of
this fraternity likewise dominate
the second floor.
"Cox would not be Cox with
Delta," stated Doug Woods who,
although not a Delta himself,
prefers to live with Delta Sigma
Phi, explaining why he prefers to
live with men who have not
care, said Woods.
Proceeding down the hall on
the third floow of Cox, the
appearance is sharp. The
predominant color is red, running
halfway up either wall and
extending the length of the hall.
The red is trimmed by either
black or yellow depending on
which end of the hall the observer
is at and the logos of three well
defined social groups, the
Heartbreakers, Force 25 and
Thunder Row have been placed
near the respective group
members' rooms.
In a room near the Force 25
logo. Al DelMonte and Jamie
Mariness were sitting with some
friends in what was left of their
room. They had held a weekend
long party and the room could be
aptly described as trashed. The
uncarpeted floor was filthy with
the exception of the hallway and
all stationary objects in the room
were obsiously not too stationary
over the weekend.
"This is the coolest place I've
known," said DelMonte, "it's eot
nearly always gone out of their nice big rooms so you can build
way to convey a 'nice,
respectable, boy-next-door
image.' "It's been interesting.
When you've got to study you can
study. But when you want to have
a good time they're here. There's
alwasy somebody on this hall you
can have a good time with."
When you go to a party at Delta
Hall, you would be well advised to
follow the same rules for riding a
roller coaster. "Expectant
mothers, those with weak hearts
or on medication, elderly people,
children and those who are not
prepared for anything and
everything are not encouraged to
enter this party."
The first eye catcher on second
floor is the bulletin board. Unlike
first floor, nothing gets torn
down from this board, although
some of it should be. A newspaper
article on the highly important
topic of dipping snuff seems to be
the most recent thing attached to
the board. Next ot it is the Delta
shitlist with attached pictures
with beards and moustaches!
drawn in for extra appeal. And
above that is one particular item
of concern for those who might
elect the wrong mode of
transportation after having had
too much beer, courtesy of Delta
Sigma Phi. "If you can see this
let someone else drive. O.K?"
But the Deltas have definitely
adjusted to life in Cox, as
Mike Ellis, a member of the
fraternity relates, "We love it.
We wouldn't want to be anywhere
else. That's the feeling of most of
the guys." The Delta's have
prospered in Cox, expanding
their membership to its limits
and not nearly having enough
room for all its members who
some decent lofts up here. "No
loft would have survived what
went on in this room last
weekend. The fact that the
hallway was clean while the rest
of the room was demolished was
explained by Mariness. "After
the party. Shorty came in the
room and mopped up my
hallway." Del Monte harped in
"Shorty's great. He gets things
done for us."

Tom Nanzig summed up just
what Shorty has to deal with in
Cox Dorm. "Everybody has their
favorite object to vandalize."
And Nanzig reported, "in Cox, it
seems the guys took out after the
doors." Indeed, last year was
evidence of this as the majority of
the doors in Cox had these nice
neat four inch circumference
holes, resulting from a fist, which
apparently could not find a face
to hit instead. Last year,
approximately 60 of the 100 room
doors in Cox were replaced.
And if doors didn't thrill the
aggressors enough, windows
were next. It would seem that
since an appreciable loss of blood
and a hospital bill usually
resulted from punching out a
window, these incidences would -
be almost nonexistant, but every
once in a while, the shattered
glass and resulting trail of blood
would indicate that another Cox
man had shown another Cox
window who's boss. Actually,
according to Nanzig, "Last year
was the last real bad year for
breaking windows."
Why the men of Cox seem to
have such little appreciation for
their "home sweet home" is
largely unexplained but Nanzig
speculated alcohol, a kind of
macho image and resentment
towards the college as a whole as
some of the major reasons. "The
term they used was 'rage out.' If
you don't change the visitation
rules, we're gonna rage out.
On the first floor bulletin board
where nothing stays up for long
there appeared a card for
Thanksgiving. The card, signed
"Shorty and Wife" was thanking
the boys for the turkey they had
given him. Nobody tore down the
card.

Riding Blue: At the Station^
Haddock and Bama Lamb
. Editor's Note: The following is
an excerpt from a short story
written about the Richmond
Police ride-along program that
Mr. Calihans "Administration of
Criminal Justice" class
participated in. Because of the
nature of the article, the names
have been changed.
The patrolmen were standing
in the neat marble building of the
precinct built across from the
Richmond coliseum waiting to be
inspected by a 4-month pregnant
1st sargeant wearing a yellow
maternity dress.
Harison and Ricken who had
left that Tuesday early in the
afternoon through a fine drizzle
from a small southern sticks
town named Farmville, were
sitting way to the left in two
elementary school desks which
had graffite still scarred across
their top "Miss Thompson gives
head" and "Julie loves Pedro".
Before, they had watched the
eight men in blue circle around a
long oaken table in the center of
the room and had listened to the
confused conversation that had
erupted and died and lingered
like solidifying lava.
Hey Suz, I'm short two units.
Whatya want — everbody's
short . . . make do.
You might pull one from Larry
in 2nd orecinct.
Forget it, Larry is up to his
eyeballs in shortages — Harry's
out with pneumonia and Tubbie's
broke his arm.
Tubby, nahw, not Captain
America himself.
Hey, he's alright
So what's going down over
there on West Gary?
Why?
I hear Tipsy s back in action.
Got parole already?
Jesus Where's the coffee?
I got a bone to pick with you
Malaney
What, the dude hit his head on
my door, what'd he say anyhow?
Alright listen, I need 5 for
Churchill.
Good luck.
I'm serious.
What's happening?
Mac can you help?
I'm task force Suz, you know
that?
Alright task force on Churchill
then.
Capieche?
yeh
ready?
yeh, yeh, ok. (unintelligible)
shit.
Across from the rambling
voices of the conference table on
the wall above the blue-be-
capped heads were maps of
Richmond divided into precc nets,
and a locked wooden box for
parking tags and traffic
summons, file cabinets and a
poster with the infamous take a
bite out of crime hound dog
pointing to a gruesome scenario.
A woman and a man are
sprawled behind a series of
blackish grey garbage cans in
some unknown yet archetypical
dark alley. The woman is
obviously screaming, her mouth
wide and frightened, teeth bare,
the logo reads "A Mid Summers
Night Scream".
During the inspection the men
stood as half-disciplined privates
bemoaning the formality, yet
standing slightly more erect than
normal. The blond-haired 1st
Sargeant named Suz, who had
one more night left on active duty
went up and down the line, eyes
sharp for nothing in particular
except perhaps the two "ride
alongs" that sat in the comer and
had not said a word for the better
part of an hour.
She had seen their type before,
interested and eager, wanting to
learn about the logistics of police
law and order, or, she thought,
probably looking for a little
excitement, the oft-blessed tingle
of police work which could wear
on you like a thinning penny. Had
she been only half as
impregnable as her personahty,
she would still
be on the strfiet too, as it was
though, she was due for a 5-month
leave and possible change of job
— paper work would be coming
her way in a hurricane of
triplicate forms and typed carbon
copies. C'est la Vie. The way of
the working woman.
She smiled to the men as they
got ready to leave. J. T. said,
"See you later Suz" and grabbed
her behind. "You do that again
and your gonna draw back a nub,
J.T.", he smiled, tried to look
hurt, and said, "You saving it for
somebody? Used to be share and
share alike." The 1st Sarg turned
red. "Get out of here . . wait a
minuty wait a minute, you got a
ride along." She pointed to
Burgett who was still sitting in
the elementary school desk.
"Yeh." J.T. turned to the
blonde haired boy. He looked like
the all American kid from New
York — brown corduroy sports
coat, brown corduroy pants,
white shirt, hush puppies, blue
eyes and a black spindle
notebook. The other kid looked
like his Jewish lawyer— that was
Ricken who sat writing
everything he heard and saw,
"Come on" "what's his name?"
"Harison" "Come on Harison."
From Haddock's view the city
bristled with energy, like a cat
running blind out of a shaken
duffel bag, hot street lights and
painted ladies priming their ware
for furtive glances from
streaming rows of bug topped
Volkswagens, cutlasses, trans
ams, Jacuzzis and family
President Greenwood
stationwagons,all hurtling along
the white limits of Broad Street.
Monday is no exception, the city
lights never go out and it is here,
life in a maelstrom of ceaseless
energy that Haddock sought
refuge — a little R&R.
His prison-issued parolee jeans
and blue work shirt were no mark
of distinction nor scarlet letter in
the heaving city. He is free; two
days fresh from Powhatan
Prison, where he had spent 5
years studiously denying all
legitimate urges and Haddock
means to live it up — to the top.
At 10:00 Tuesday morning, red
eyed and still drunk. Haddock
trundles down Broad Street
catching hold of the parking
meters like intermittent
crutches. Swinging from each to
each watching for a dry nook, to
doze for awhile and collect the

"Ricken."
Ricken looked up.
"You, Ricken."
"Yes sir."
A tall black man about 6'4" in
the brown city of Richmond
police force uniform looked down
at him. This was Mac Tried of
the Police Task Force who got dr-
afted to Churchill for the
graveyard shift 3 to 11 which
Ricken would be riding along on.
"What ja got all the stuff for?"
Mac nodded in the direction of the

had extensive scribblings half

Haddock didn't hear when J. T.
yelled for him to wake up Had he
known that a Richmond
policeman will not wake up a
drunk by slapping him, perhaps
he would have obliged and driven
'himself out of his Narcoleptic
state with the first clamoring of
voices, but he didn't and instead
shifted his scraggly beard a little
for comfort on the black plastic
pillow. This left J. T. no choice
but to use the billy club in soit
jabs at the arm and lower
abdomen regions. "Hey you,
cwne on, wake up."
Haddock felt the jabs and
thought he was back in prison,
thought a bastard guard was
poking him for something,
thought the billydub was a sawed
off shotgun aimed at hsi liver. He
grapped at J. T.'s club and
howled because he wanted all the
inmates to know what was going
down. The people at the bus
station heard him. They turned
and looked at J. T. who had
swung his billyclub away from
Haddock and at Harison the all

was staring wide eyed at the

A light skinned receptionist
with pulled back brownish red
hair wrapped in a bun under her
hexagonally pointed cap looked
up at Ricken, "Take my picutre

Ricken feigned guilt, "Who me?"
"You go to school around

"I go to Long wood down in

Mac glanced over at the latin
featured boy, "Longwood, I
thought that was an all girls scho-

his levis around his belly button
and said, "Well, it used to be but

"Uh huh-bet you like it down

"It's not bad."
"Whatcha doing up here,

Ricken thought that might be
the case as they walked out to
Mac's car — number 215 — and
watched Harison wave just
before he ducked his blonde head
into car 217 with J. T. and anoUier

Mac started the engine.

At 205 K Street 3 days
before that Tuesday, Bama had
walked a drunken line down the
cracked mortar blocked
sidewalks to Morris Buckley's
house. Morris owed him $5.00 for
a bottle of Gordon's Gin which he
had bought the day before,
ostensibly to be divided between
the two of them on the front porch
of his apartment. Morris, at the
time did not want to "split no
bottle of liquor with no sour
mouth", and had taken Bama's
bottle and "ran like a squirrel,
the son of a bitch." Bama was out
to collect that Sunday. He had
knocked on the door to Morris'
apartment wearing the same
clothes he would wear when Mac
would take him in. He had gone
out and bought another bottle of
Gin after Morris had stolen his,
and had drank it the night before
in rushing tearful gulps of anger
until he had passed out. Bama
had stood before Morris' door
Sunday, still drunk and angry. He
had yelled and slammed hi« fist
against the heavy beige painted
and chpped metal door. He was 63
years old.
Bama "couldn't rightly say"
what happened next. Morris had
thrown the door open and shoved
Bama hard against the chest with
the end of a broomstick and
Bama somehow had found a
brick in his hand and saw Morris

Mac lit the first Merit of his
shift. He was a tall stocky
veteran of Vietnam where he had
spent 3 years as a chopper pilot
flying combat missions,. His hair
was cropped and if there was a
toughness about him it was
hidden under an open smile,
devoid of cynicisnL He had
acclimated himself easily to
police work. It had its militarisUc
aspects and he fitted easily into
that sort of meritorous hierarchy
with the usual "brown nosing"
and internal politics which
accompany any hierarchy.
He told Ricken on the way to
pick up Bama that he had gotten
into police work to help people
and not to bust heads. Ricken
wrote it on his pad and stared at
Mac who watched the road,
gunning the Plymouth a luxury —
he and Harrison would later
decide — in which all policemen
indulged.
Mac lived in the city which was
required of all Richmond

away and motioned with his free
arm to the crowd of people which
had begun to circle tighter like a
dirty voyueristic bath ring
around the three, to disperse,
while J.T. in a low voice
questioned Haddock, whose head
was limp against the back of the
orange plastic bus station chair.
"What's your name?"
"Shit man, I don't beheve this,
I aint't done nothing wrong."
"Come on, buddy, you in
trouble for something?"
"You asking me? Hell, you the
man, you oughta know!"
OK listen, you can't stay here,
go on home."
"I gotta catch a bus — meet
my parol officer."
"You a parolee?"
"Yeh, two days and I'm
frigging busted — "
Haddock looked to the blonde
haired boy in an intoxicated plea,
for support, "Say, I don't believe
this shit — you believe this shit? "
Harison shrugged.
"Where are your green
papers?"
Haddock handed J.T. his green
documents of parol.
"Alright, look, I'm not gonna
take you in because 1 know it'd
screw you up, but you can't say in
here, when's the next bus coming
that you can catch?"
"8:15."
They didn't arrest Haddock
that Tuesday for a number of
reasons. J.T., who when off duty,
drank like the proverbial stony
eyed fish, had retained a certain
empathy for rehcs like Haddock,
and he couldn't see taking a 2
day parolee in, to be sent back to
Powhatan for the duration of his
sentence merely because he had
done what any normal human
would do once freed of the
strictures and bonds of
imprisonment. Besides J.T., as
he told the Rookie John Ward
later, had one solemn rule
concerning the arrests of drunks
and junkies, "Only time we take
them in is if they haven't shit,
pissed or puked on themselves
From the smell of things.
Haddock had violated all three.
By the time Haddock opened
his eyes to see what was going on
in the bus stations, J.T. had his
left arm and the Rookie
Patrolman whose name was John
Ward, had the right. Harison was
standing to the side of the
menage taking notes and
occasionally glancing up to watch
the crowd which had solowly
gathered around the three
screaming minuets of justice and
crime.
"Goddammed psychopathic
drunk" yelled J.T. in reference to
Haddock who was gnawing on his
left arm, leaving small ringlets of
white bubbly spit. Psychopathic
was one of J. T.'s favorite words.
He had a theory that every
human on earth was either a
psychopath or good — that is,
normal. J.T. had never classified
himself, but later Harison would
say it was difficult to tell the
difference between J.T. and the
people he busted. The Rookie on
the other hand didn't yell
anything. He was three weeks
into his intership and didn't want
to mess it up with some weird
violation of an archaic obscenity
code. And besides. Haddock
wasn't gnawing on his arm.
When they finally cahned the
drunk down enough so that he
would speak in low tones instead
of bellowing, he was semi-
comatosed and nearly
incoherent. The liquor he had

Bama was lying face down on a
brown flowered couch in the
apartment of 305 M. Street, v^en
he heard Mac knock on his door.
A worn black lady in a blue
"kenneth cleaning" blouse
opened the door. The air was
thick and dark inside the
apartment. Bama remained
faced down on the couch, his
muddied brown working boots
propped up over the right arm so
that his body was flexed like a
bow. A soap opera was playing
way to the left on an ancient
black and white which was
capped with anachronistic rabbit
ears of a decade past.
Mac tapped Bama on the foot,
"You Harry S. Leaving?"

she placed 4th all-around in
the state and has finished in
the top six for three years.
Fifth all-around in the AAU
Nationals in 1981, Strayer was
unable to compete in the 1983
state meet because of a
broken ankle. She has
competed with her team in
Germany and England.
"Kelly is a strong all-around
performer with good skills in
every event," says Coach
Budd.
Malin is also a Class I
competitor at the Carolina
Gymnastics Center in
Columbia. South Carolina bar
champ the past two years as
well as third in all-around, she
qualified for and competed in
1983 regionals. She is a
veteran of nine years
experience in gymnastics.
Hruby, a standout
performer at Centennial High
School, placed in the top six in

Toombs Player of the Week
Senior tri-captain Doug
Toombs helped Longwood win
seven of nine games last week
with a hitting surge that boosted
his average from .244 to .281. For
his performance, Toombs has
been named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the period
April 15-22. Player of the Week is
picked by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
Toombs, an Ail-American in
1980 when he hit .565, batted .391
in seven games last week
(Sunday through Friday) with
four homers and a double. He
drove in eight runs end scored 13
to help the Lancers increase their
season mark to 20-8.
Batting in the lead-off spot
where Coach Buddy Bolding
inserted him last week, Toombs
got the Lancer offense rolling.
"Doug had a great week," said
Bolding. "I felt like he would pick
us up when I moved him to the
leadoff spot and he certainly
justified my confidence in him."
One of Longwood's top all-time
players, the senior catcher came
into the season as Longwood's
career leader in batting average
(.422), hits (139), RBI's (101) and
walks (78).
Toombs hit .529 with a homer,
two doubles and six RBI's in the
South Atlantic Regional
Tournament last May to earn a
spot on the All-Tournament team
and help the Lancers advance to
the Division II World Series.

Athletic Scholarships
How Much to Pay
By KRISTY NICELY
"Considering what I know
about Longwood College and the
national trends, I think they
should do away with athletic
scholarships," said Steve Nelson,
head wrestling coach.
A certain amount of money is
allocated each year for athletic
scholarships. All of the
scholarships at Longwood are
partial scholarships, but with
other grants and aid, many
athletes have their entire tuition
paid.
Scholarships are not offered by
all the sports at Longwood. Some
sports that are allocated money
for scholarships are basketball,
soccer, and gymnastics.
However, the wrestling and
tennis teams do not use any
athletic scholarships.
"There are a lot of built in
inequities in the system," said
Nelson. "People on the wrestling
team feel that they are just as
worthy as those in other sports."
Is the athletic scholarship
system fair?
"Yes, I think it is a fair
assessment," said Cal Luther,
head basketball coach. "The
system is related to the
philosophy of the institution."
Ruth Budd, gymnastics coach,
agreed that the system is fair.
"The money is allocated
according to the amount of people
that participate. For example, if
60 percent of the participants are
women, and 40 percent are
men, then the women's sports get
60 percent of the money. The
most emphasized sports get more
money."
Steve Nelson also believes that
the sports are evaluated fairly.
"It is an administrative decision
on what sports get emphasis. The
high intensity sports, such as
men's and women's basketball,
soccer, baseball, and women's
golf receive favoritism."
However, not all coaches agree
with Longwood's scholarship
system. Rich Posipanko, soccer
coach, believes that the system
should be changed soon — this
year, if possible.
"The way the money is divided
up now should be changed," said
Posipanko. "I don't mean just the
way it is divided up between
men and women, but between
emphasis sports. I think it should
be changd on which sports are
emphasized."
Budd also shares some of these
feelings. "You're always going to
think that your team deserves a
little more, that another sport
shouldn't be getting more than
you, but when you think about it
intellectually, you understand
why."
Although the coaches agree on
many points, there are some
differences in their feelings about
the future of athletic
scholarships.
"I would rather have the
money in the total budget and use
it to take care of the team
members," said Nelson. "This
money could be used for travel,
better practice equipment, and
more equipment. I have coached
teams with and without
scholarships. The scholarships
have little bearing on the
individual's motivation and
dedication. I think the
scholarships should be given on
financial need, not athletic
ability."
Ruth Budd depends on
scholarships to build the team.
"We need the money as a
drawing card. Our scholarships
have really built up the team.
Other schools may have better
facilities, so without the money
they would go somewhere else."
Cal Luther's opinions seem to
be at the opposite end of the
spectrum from Nelson's. "The
men's program has entered a
new league — Mason Dixon. This
league contains many top notch
Division II teams. These schools
use full scholarships. If
Longwood wants to remain
competitive, they should start
offering full scholarships too. We
have made a commitment to this
league. I think that this will
create more interest, because the
team will be playing the same
teams from year to year. The
schedule will be more standard
than it is now."
Will the system change in the
future?
"It is not likely," said Nelson.
"Maybe if the national trends
change, Ix)ngwood will change.
The way things are now,
I>ongwood will continue in the
same pattern."

problem when the 1983 soccer
season begins next fall. The
Lancer coach is going to have to
find playing time for 10 talented
recruits in addition to eight
starters returning from 1982.
"We're bringing in a group of
newcomers with superb ability
who will have an immediate im-
pact on our program," says the
coach. "At least five or six of
these players will likely have
startmg roles next season. With
eight returning starters, the
competition for starting positions
will be fierce."
Joining Longwood's NCAA
Division II team, which went 15-4-
1 and won the VISA state title last
season, is the finest group of
recruits ever signed by
Posipanko. Longwood was
ranked second in the region and
among the top 15 teams in the
nation last year.
"With these new recruits, we
will have a team that should be
competitive with any Division II
squad in the nation," says
Posipanko.

Special Olympics
By BECKY DUNK
The 1983 Ungwood College
Special Olympics wre held April
13 on Her Field. The four-hour
event was sponsored by
Longwood's Therapeutic
Recreation Organization, which
is headed by Virginia Timberlake
of Powhatan.
Forty-three mentally
handicapped persons from the
Tri-County Sheltered Workshop
and Prince Edward County
Middle School took part in a day
of fun and events. The youngest
participant was 10 while the
oldest was 42.
One hundred and fifty
Longwood students worked as
volunteers in a variety of
capacities. Some were
"huggers" who waited at the
finish line of each event to award
contestants with a hug; others
worked one-on-one with a
participant by helping him or
her get to each event on time;
still others registered
participants, prepared food and
gave out ribbons.
The Special Olympics began
with the lighting of the torch and
a parade around the track.
Following the parade, the
different events began.
Following the games, ribbons
were awarded to the 1st, 2nd and
3rd place winners of each event
by age groups. Each participant
received either a ribbon or an
award for overall good
sportsmanship.
Donations for the Special
Olympics came from the
Farmville Moose Lodge, the
International Order of Odd
Fellows Lodge and the Chamber
of Commerce. The Pepsi
Company donated refreshments,
and local grocery stores provided
the food for lunch.
Delta Zeta sorority, by
tradition, prepared lunch for all
participants and volunteers. TRO
members threw a party that
"ight for the volunteers.
Miller Honored

lx)ngwood College women's
basketball and lacrosse coach
Jane Miller has been selected
for the Northeastern
University (MA) Athletic Hall
of Fame. Miller will be

additional Nnrthpast«»rn
"Jane was a coach's dream
in her playing days at
Northeastern," says Jeanne
Rowlands, Miller's basketball
coach and the women's
Athletic Director at
Northeastern. "She played
for us when we had a
decidedly small team. It took
someone with a great deal of
hoop savvy to make us a
winner we were with Jane,"
added Rowlands.
Miller earned a grand total
of 12 letters in field hockey,
lacrosse, and basketball
between 1968 and 1972. Also a
Dean's List student, she
earned All-New England
honors in field hockey,
basketball and lacrosse and
captained all three teams.
From 1971 to 1976 she attained
national prominence on the U.
S. Lacrosse and Field Hockey
teams.
Miller, who received her
B.S. in Education from
Northeastern and her M.S.
from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, has
been head coach of
Longwood's women's
basketball team two years. As
lacrosse coach, she led
Longwood to a Division III
State title in 1981 and a sixth
place finish in the national
toumampnt
In 1981 Miller was selected
as one of the recipients of the
Outstanding Young Women of
America Award. She is a
native of Brockton, MA.
Anthony Brown, of Prince Edward County Middle School, receives one of his two first-place
ribbons ( he won 100-yard dash and broad jump. )
Baseball Team Ups Record
The Rotunda staff would like to thank Hoke Currle and the
Sports Information Office for all their help this year.
Senior tri-captains Mickey
Roberts and Doug Toombs led the
way as Longwood won seven of
nine games , upping its
season mark to 20-8 with three
regular season contests still to
play.
The Lancers took two from
visiting St. Paul's Saturday in the
rain 8-2 and 5-0, giving Longwood
its third straight 20-win season.
The team's record over the past
three years is 75-31-1.
With Toombs and Roberts le-
ading the way Longwood beat
Maryland Eastern Shore twice
last Monday 7-1, 7-1, spht with
Baltimore Wednesday, swept
Virginia State Thursday 12-2, 14-
2, bowed to William & Mary 16-11
Friday and then bounced back to
sweep St. Paul's Saturday.
Toombs, who hit .565 as a
freshman, went on an eight-game
rampage, ripping four homers, a
double and a triple, driving in
nine runs, scoring 14 and batting
.400. Inserted into the leadoff spot
by coach Buddy Bolding, the
senior catcher helped the
Lancers charge up an offense
that had been sluggish.
Roberts played his iron-man
role to the hilt last week, pitching
20 and two-thirds innings and
picking up three victories as
longwood played nine games in
six days. For the week, Roberts,
who is now 6-0, had an ERA of
3.93, walked 11 and fanned 11. He
pitched two complete games as
Longwood swept Maryland
Eastern Shore Monday.
Roberts came back to pitch
against William & Mary Friday
and then tossed the first four
innings of Saturday's 8-2 win over
St. Paul's. The four-year veteran
now has a career mark of 20-2 at
Longwood.
Other Lancers with
particularly productive weeks
were John Sullivan who hit .333 in
eight games with three doubles
and six RBI's, senior David Ru-
mburg who hit .385 with six RBI's
and shortstop Dwayne Kingery,
with two doubles, a triple and a
three-run homer to go with a .294
batting average and six RBI's.
Freshman pitchers Tommy
Norris and Terry Spittler hurled
complete games in the sweep of
Virginia State while another
freshman hurler Glenn Mitchell
clouted a grand slam homer
against the Trojans.
Sophomore Allen Lawter, out of
PEIRIMI
/04- t-//6^ ^r,
action with an injury to his left
arm, used his right ami to pitch a
shutout against St. Paul's
Saturday, throwing a five-hitter
in the five-inning contest.
Freshman Mike Haskins saw
action in four games and batted a
hot .417 with five hits in 12 trips to
the plate, four RBI's and a triple.
Also playing well for Longwood
last week were freshman Dennis
I^eftwich and Todd Thompson.
Leftwich hit .368 in six games,
driving in eight runs. Four of
those RBI's came in the 12-6 win
over Division 1 Baltimore
Wednesday.
Thompson played in eight
games, ripping four doubles and
a triple and driving in five runs
while scoring six. Another
freshman. Bill Catron, batted .313
for the week with a homer, a
double and five RBI's in seven
contests.

French Presidents
Visit
Presidents of three French
universities spent three days at
Longwood College last week on a
visit sponsored by the American
Association of State Colleges and
Universities.
Last fall, AASCU sponsored the
visits of several American
college presidents, including
Longwood President Janet
Greenwood, to colleges and
universities in France and Spain.
The Longwood visitors were
President and Mrs. Marcel
Azzaro of the University of Nice;
President Paul Bachelard of the
University of Tours; and
President Michel Despax of the
University of Toulouse I (social
sciences).
The presidents visited
academic departments of their
choice at Longwood and were
guests at a French-speaking
luncheon on Wednesday. Faculty
and student exchanges were
among topics discussed at
several planning sessions.
Preisdent Greenwood and
several members of the
Longwood faculty and staff
accompanied the French
presidents on a visit to
Monticello.
Seven Longwood students
served as translators during the
French presidents' visit. They
were: Lesa Southall, a freshman
from King George; Melissa
Crickenberger, a freshman from
Salem; Rosie Pulupa, a
sophomore from Arlington;
Vicky Edwards, a junior from
Richmond; Frances Bamer, a
senior from Virginia Beach;
Dana Shockley, a freshman from
Arlington: and Karmon Davis, a
freshman from Virginia Beach.
Arrangements for the visit
were coordinated by Dr. Sarah
Young, Assistant Dean for
Student Academic Standing and
Special Project Grants at
Longwood.
Market Basket Down
Lx)cal food buyers have good news this month. The cost of the
Farmvilk market basket is down slightly, from $62.73 in March to
$62.60 in April.
Food prices nationally, however, are showing a modest increase.
In Virginia, the Richmond and Tidewater area market baskets were
up slightly in April, while the Northern Virginia basket was priced
exactly the same as last month.
Details on the four Virginia market basket surveys are given

Market basket costs in the four Virginia areas surveyed vary by
only $2.60 this month, ranging from Farmville's $62.60 to the
Tidewater area's $60.00.
In comparison with April a year ago, the local food basket is up
3.35 per cent.
The cost of the highest-priced basket (the total of the highest
prices found in local stores for all of the 40 items) was $68.42. The low
basket (total of the lowest prices found) was $57.40. This high-low
spread of $U.02 indicates that significant savings can be achieved by -
"being knowledgeable and shopping around," said Dr. Anthony
Cristo.
In addition to the market basket study, the local Trivia Basket
survey was taken this month. The Trivia Basket is composed of a
variety of non-food items that the average consumer buys on a regular
basis. Since Trivia Basket prices were not taken on Decmeber 31, 1982,
the price changes referred to are increases or decreases which have
occurred since October.
The most significant price increases during the past six months
were for Band-Aids (+14.10 per cent), Everready batteries (-1-18.92
per cent). Tide (-1-16.57 per cent), Prell shampoo (+14.92 per cent),
Kleenex (+12.66 per cent), Marlboro cigarettes (+13.19 per cent),
Kodak film (+9.09 per cent), and Budweiser beer (+7.72 per cent).
Lower prices were found for notebook paper (-11.22 per cent),
Bounty towels (-5.49 per cent), Bayer aspirin (-5.93 per cent), Bic pens
(-4.54 per cent), Pledge furniture polish (-3.98 per cent), Jergens hand
lotion (-3.72 per cent), and Top Job cleaner (-3.49 per cent).
The national trend toward higher gasoline prices held true in the
local area. Prices for all brands of gasoline were up slightly at stations
in Appomattox, Blackstone, Crewe, Dillwyn, Keysville and Farmville.
Prices at self-service stations in Farmville were up 8.4 per cent for
regular gasoline, 7.7 per cent for unleaded, and 6.0 per cent for
premium. Prices for all types of gasoine at full-service stations were
up 3.6 per cent.
The studies dealing with local price fluctuations for food, trivia
ttems, and gasoline are all projects of the Economic Seminar class at
Longwood College and are directed by Dr. Anthony B. Cristo.

worried. He never done nothin'
real bad, get drunk sometime and
pass out on the porch but that
ain't no problem. We just drag
him in an' let im sleep it off. 'Cept

Morris called up — a swearing to

Bama rolled over on the couch,
his eyes bleary and unfocused, a
grow masters cap was pulled
downward toward the joint of his
nose. "Shoulda killed the son of a
bitch."
"Yeh," Mac nodded, "you ready
to go — we got a warrant for your
arrest."
"Yeh," Bama said, "I got
nothing to run from"
Bama raised himself up off the
couch, his elbows pulhng taut
against his dirty green and
yellow plaid jacket. "I won't
cause no trouble" Dortha shook
her head, "When can we pick em
up? He gonna be in for a long
time?"
"Can't say really, the
magistrate will probably go easy
on him though — we'll hold him
one night — bail shouldn't be too
much."
Mac caught Bama by the arm
and led him to the doorway.
Dortha's son. Alex, stood in the
dark alcove to their staircase
watching the scene. He mimicked
his mother, "ain't worth a damn
are ya?" Bama glowered, "Get
the hell back in your room boy, ya
don't know nothing about it."
Alex backed deeper into the
alcove as Mac and Bama walked
by and out the doorway. His eyes
shone white against the
blackness.

2. That until such a time as this
constitution is ratified no actions
dealing with Longwood student
publications be taken by the
publications board.
3. That a statement from Dr.
Greenwood be made to the effect
that the publications board's
prior decision concerning my
removal was not based on the
content of the article in question
and that the publications board
will not determine the content of
any future Longwood student
publications.
Dr. Greenwood agreed to the
conditions and accepted
Johnson's resignation. She also
agreed to "purge" the record of
the former publications board's
trial and removal of Johnson.
Johnson felt that resigning was
the smartest thing for him to do.
"I only had one more issue as
editor, and resigning was a
symbolic gesture in return for a
reformed Publications Board."
Johnson was particularly
concerned with the partiality of
the membership of the former
Board and their self-declared
arbitary power. Under the
conditions of his resignation,
future editors of publications will
not be subject to the precedence
set by the former Publications
Board.
Rugby
The lx)ngwood Rugby Club
defeated the Hampden-Sydney
Tigers Saturday, April 23, 15-3 at
the President's Field.
Longwood opened the scoring
early in the first half with a
field goal by Bob Schatta.
Sydney was able to tie the
score at 3-3 which is how the
half ended. Penalties, which
have plagued Longwood all
season kept them from putting
more points on the board in
the first half.
The second half seemed to
be going the same way until a
couple of back-breaking
tackles by Gary Lunsford and
Joe Bass got the crowd and
players fired up. Tackle after
tackle by L.C. put the
"Hamsters" into neutral for
the rest of the half and
Longwood into high gear.
Longwood finished the
season at 4-1-1. The team
expressed its gratitude
towards the blood-thirsty
support of the fans the entire
season. ^^g ^^^

LONGWOOD COLLEGE FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1983
No. 1
New Administrators: New Focus
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
Three new administrators are
working to give a new name to
the concept of Student Services at
Longwood College. Kathe Allen,
Bill Moore and Barbara Gorski
were hired over the summer as
Student Development Educators.
longwood has never had Stu-
dent Development Educators, in
fact, it's a position that is
relatively new across the
country. The positions at
Ix)ngwood, however, originated
from within the Student Service
program, a sort of combined
modification of the Resident
Supervisor's position, the Student
Affairs and Assistant Dean of the
Students offices.
The concept of student
development as a major focus of
administration is slowly working
its way into campuses across the
country, and Longwood is among
the first to begin such a program.
"Janet Greenwood and Phylis
Mable are nationally known in
our field" (student
development), according to
Kathe Allen. This new emphasis
is a part of Longwood 's efforts to
become more "student life"
oriented in relation to the
Fourteen Goals.
"It's a campus-wide effort to
relate to the students and to
address the goals," said Bill
Moore. The new emphasis will
affect every facet of the student's
life, from the classroom to the
dining hall to the residence halls.
There will also be some special
programming for minorities,
transfers, student leaders, work-
study and off-campus students.
There has alread\ been a change
in the reference to off campus
students; in the past a student
who did not live in the residence
halls was called a 'day student.'
They will be called 'off campus
students', because, according to
Barbara Gorski, "they are more
than just students during the
day."
Students are going to develop
with or without Student
Development Educators, but
Allen, Moore and Gorski are here
as consultants to that process as
an intentional concentration on
student development. "You are
going to be different when you're
a senior than when you're a
freshman anyway, and we know
that there are specific steps in
that process," said Gorski.
Students at Longwood will be
affected by the new focus on
development because of the
dramatic changes that the
Student Services have in store.
"They'll know by December what
the Fourteen Goals are," says
Kathe Allen, "we're here to make
the goals come alive."
Options, levels of awareness,
responsibility and decision
making were shared goals of the
trio for the students and faculty,
and administrators. Even the
secretarial staffs have been
involved in workshops to
personalize the office space; to
make them more student
centered.
Kathe Allen, Bill Moore and
Barbara Gorski all have
specialized training and
experience in student
development. Allen comes from
the University of Maryland,
where she was an academic
advisor. Moore completed Ph.D.
course work at University of
Maryland and worked at
Southern Methodist University in
Dallas where he worked with
special interest housing,
expressive living and career
planning and placement. Gorski
did her undergraduate work at
VCU where she was a Resident
Assistant and her graduate work
at Ohio State. She worked at
Hofstra University in Long Island
at a Living and Learning
Residence Hall Center.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., American
short story writer, novelist, and
critic, will speak at Hampden-
Sydney College on Tuesday, Sept.
27. The speech entitled, "How To
Get a Job Like Mine," will be
given in Fleet Gymnasium and
will begin at 8:00 p.m.
Vonnegut's literary career
began while he worked in the
Research Laboratory of the Gen-
eral Electric Company; after
working there for three years, he
began to sell short stories to
Collier's, the Saturday Evening
Post, and other national
magazines. Describing this first
step, Vonnegut said: "I made
what seemed like a lot of money,
so I began a novel that mocked
General Electric, quit my job,
threw a party that was stopped
by the police, and moved to Cape
Cod."
The novel that "mocked
General Electric" was Player
Piano, a long and rather sober
book about an automated world
of the future run by organization
men. In the end the hero, Paul
Proteus, comes to see that the
machine-smashing revolution he
joins will only "recreate the
same old nightmare": the in-
dictment in general. The first
novel appeared in 1952; over the
next nine years, Vormegut spent
most of his efforts writing
magazine stories.
Some of these stories were
speculative and satirical and,
together with Player Piano, they
were enough to persuade book
review editors that Vonnegut was
a science fiction writer. This
ruling was confirmed by The
Sirens of Titan (1959), a highly
sophisticated space fantasy
which suggests, for example, that
the whole of human history has
been arranged by the inhabitants
of the planet Tralfamadore in
order to provide an inter-galactic
traveler with a spare part for his
spaceship.
His next novel, Mother Night, is
about an American spy in
wartime Germany who is able to
stay alive and do his work only by
masquerading as a Nazi and
makes vile anti-Semitic
broadcasts. It is a short book
whole chapters, as Richard
Schickel wrote, "are quick, deft
sketches, almost review
blackouts. There is no attempt at
the realistic detailing of Player
Piano, no believable plotting or
rounded characterization."

From the time he witnessed the
bombing of Dresden, where more
people died than at Hiroshima,
Vonnegut felt himself under an
obligation to make some kind of
statement about it. He
discharged that obligation in
Slaughterhouse-Five, in which
the author, lightly disguised as
one "Billy Pilgrim," describes
"his" war. The book has a double
subtitle - The Children's
Crusade, because it is an attack
on all causes that demand human
sacrifice, and A Duty-Dance of
Death, because it was written as
a duty and in the tradition of
European gallows humor. There
are no villains in it to lift the
reader's sense of guilt for
Dresden, "just people, doing
what people usually do to each
other." Slaughterhouse-Five
became a best-seller and was
filmed, making Vonnegut a lit-
erary celebrity.
In Breakfast of Champions,
Vonnegut announced, he was
celebrating his fiftieth birthday
by "flushing out" of his head and
into the novel a half-century's
accumulation of foolish and
incompatible ideas, and by
"liberating" characters who had
appeared in earlier books. This
book, selected by several book
clubs in the United States, was
the beginning of a renewed
interest in Vonnegut among the
youth of the country.
Despite his fame and fortunes,
Vonnegut worries about "why I
write books when Presidents and
senators and generals do not read
them." He reassures himself,
however, by concluding that the
trick is to catch them "before
they become generals and
senators and Presidents, and
poison their minds with
humanity."
A five dollar admission fee will
be charged at the door; student
tickets may be purchased for
three dollars.

KEY EXCHANGE:
Tuesday, September 27, 1983 THE ROTUNDA Page 3
Wine & Cheese Instead Of Beer & Pretzels
By VINCE DECKER
Another Friday night at
Longwood. The offerings for the
evening are a mixer, a couple of
Rush parties and about three
other fiascos where the only
reward will be beer-stained
clothes and maybe a hangover.
This particular Friday night,
September 16, offered a very
classy alternative.
Riclunond Theatre Company's
production of Key Exchange, a
play by Kevin Wade, was played
to a small crowd of alternative
seekers in the lower dining hall.
Key Exchange is the story of
three young people, Philip,
Michael and Lisa who cycle
together every weekend. Philip,
an arrogant but likable man, has
been seeing Lisa for quite a long
time, but has a terrible fear of
making a commitment. The title
comes from Lisa's suggestion
that they exchange apartment
keys. Michael has just recently
been married but his wife, a
dancer, spends most of her time
with her composer,
"rehearsing."
S-UN made a great choice in
bringing Key Exchange to
Longwood. Melissa Johnston,
who played Lisa, is a Longwood
graduate. While at Longwood she
received the Best Actress of the
Year award for 1974-75. The
director, Jesse Reter, is also an
alumnus.
The subject matter of Key
Exchange was especially
appropriate for the students. The
ups and downs of relationships
are familiar to all of us, and the
show was on a simple but
relevant level. Some of the older
members of the audience may
have thought it was base or even
simple because of the frequent
mono-syllable obscenities. The
set consisted of three bicycles
and a garbage can and lacked
nothing.
I only heard two other
complaints from the audience
after the show. One girl found it
very distracting that Lisa was
riding a man's bike and several
people weren't quite satisfied
with Craig Tapscott's
performance.
Tapscott gave a less believable
characterization than the other
two. He was very mechanical and
obviously acting. However, this
was easily forgotten because of
Bass and Johnston's ability to
bring Tapscott up to their level
and carry the show. Ironically
this show was dedicated to
Tapscott because it was his last
performance for RTC before
leaving for New York to continue
his acting career. According to
one prominent drama major at
Longwood, "Unless he has a lot of
connections, I don't think he'll
make it — but then again, most of
us won't make it without the
connections."
The best thing about the show
was that it was here. It was a
pleasure to be somewhere at
Longwood where wine and cheese
was served by waiters and
waitresses wearing black and
white, and students, faculty and
administrators could mingle in a
relaxed atmosphere of "culture."
Events like Key Exchange should
happen more often. I think it
could catch on.

^'^^^^ Forgotten Dream . ?
A month ago in Washington, D. C. 400,000 people
gathered to pay tribute to civil rights leader Martin
Luther King. In one of the largest demonstrations ever
held in the capital, protesters came from over 350 cities
across the U. S. The event commemorated the twentieth
anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech made
at the Washington Monument August 28, 1963.
In that speech King declared, "I have a dream; that
with this faith we will be able to hue out of the mountain
of despair a stone of hope . . . that my four little children
will one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character."
Last month, demonstrators in Washington
denounced the Reagan Administration's Civil Rights
policies which have allowed advances made in the past
twenty years to backslide. They came to Washington to
exhibit the fact that King's Dream is still in the minds
and souls of citizens across the nation. They came to
send a message to Ronald Reagan that social spending
is more important to this nation than is defense
spending.
King's voice waivered with emotion that sweltering
August day twenty years ago, for he spoke with a
heartfelt sincerity — knowing the battles to come would
not be easy for him or those who walked with him. A
struggle against ignorance is never an easy one in this
country; it is a great wall which we have built,
maintained and cherished. And King did not aim for
easy targets — marching into the capitals of
Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama, states in which
segregation was heavily engrained into the lives of both
white and black Americans.
Through the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955, the
Birmingham protests of 1963, and the passing of the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, King led twenty million black
Americans out of passive acceptance of their situation
into the conscience of the American people using
methods of non-violent protest written of by Thoreau
and Gandhi. Sit-ins throughout the South were the most
visible evidence of such resistance in the late fifties and
early sixties. Blacks and whites sat in protest of
segregation in restaurants and schools only to be
dragged to police stations and thrown in jail. In his
"Letter from Birmingham Jail" King wrote, "The
nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like
speed toward gaining political independence, but we are
still creeping at horse-and-buggy pace toward gaining a
cup of coffee at a lunch counter . . . There comes a time
when the cup of endurance runs over and men are no
longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair."
While blacks fought against prejudice and injustice,
many white Americans stood back and watched; like
nervous spectators at a barroom fight they awaited the
outcome of a conflict they didn't care to see.
And still — they wait today. In Farmville they wait,
still using words like "nigger", and "boy". They wait.
They're old white men and old white women partly. But
not all, they're middle-aged and they're teenagers. They
clutch ignorance as a child clutches a dollar bill. They
stand in fear of any lack of superiority.
There are still two high schools in the Farmville
area, one for those who can afford a private, white
school, and one for those who can't, the public school
with a majority of black students. Many whites in this
area are raised to look down upon blacks, and higher
education throughout the nation and throughout this
state echoes still of prejudice and segregation.
And where does it end? Our attitudes won't change
without forced effort, overcoming our biases and not
laughing at them, working together for Brotherhood.
Brotherhood — a lofty goal which many of us won't
understand, which we feel we don't need. But today it is
a tangent, a plateau, that we must reach if we are to
overcome the problems we face as a nation. Economic
oppression of any people is a detriment to all, a sign that
we are not willing to work for freedom. Such oppression
abounds in the U. S. today as our President designs
plans for killing people thousands of miles away while
social spending is cut in this country, reducing each
person's opportunity to get ahead in life rather than
merely get by.
I sit in my room early today listening to King's
speech on a tape called "Visions of America" — a
janitor passes in the hall pushing a broom in front of
him. He is a man without a college education, without
the money to afford one, and it's doubtful that he will
ever have the money to send his four little children to
college either — he is a black man, a black janitor.
Dreams are never impossible, but oftentimes it takes
a great effort, a painful effort, to make them work.
This man walks on as King is concluding his speech,
his voice ringing with passion and sincerity, "I have
a dream today — when we let our freedom ring from
every village and every hamlet, from every state and
every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all
of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and
Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join
hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
'Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are
free at last.'"
Martin Luther King was assassinated on a warm
spring day in 1968 by a white man, a white assassin. But
it's fall now, and much later, and a black janitor passes
by my door again.

World Premiere
ESPER'S WELL
A fascinating new play by a new
playwright opens the season for the
Longwood Players and the Department of
Speech and Dramatic Arts this Wednesday
through Saturday in Jarman Auditorium at 8
p.m.
ESPERS WELL, the award-winning play
by Richard Lauchman of Washington, D. C,
will be produced for the first time anywhere
on the Jarman stage. It is an intriguing three-
character play that offers three engaging
characters who have fascinating stories to
tell following a nuclear holocaust.
ESPERS WELL is set in an Appalachian
mountain home and brings together a wan-
dering stranger from New York City with a
mother and daughter who are natives to the
mountain countryside. A veteran cast has
been assembled to play the three roles, in-
cluding two students who received Best
Performance Awards for the 1982-83 season
for the Longwood Players.
Senior Sherry Forbes plays the role of Ma,
a woman in her late sixties haunted by fears
and fantasies which both delight and shock
us. Freshman Jerry Dagenhart, who played
the lead role of Teddy in last spring's
production of WHEN YOU COMIN' BACK,
RED RYDER?, is Jim Trepps, the New
Yorker who seeks food and shelter and finds a
bizarre kind of hospitality in the person of Ma.
Jamme Coy, who has been an outstanding
performer in the community productions of
the Waterworks Players as well as the
Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs, is Emma, Ma's
daughter. Emma is a woman of great
strength and courage who is tested beyond
endurance as events unfold in the play. Ms.
Coy is in her first year as an adjunct faculty
member of the Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts.
Playwright Richard Lauchman has been
at Longwood during the rehearsal period and
assisted the cast and director in putting
together this first production of his play. He
will also attend some of the performances of
the play.
Lauchman is president of a new
Washington firm. Cooper, Wharton, Wagoner,
Inc., a professional consulting company for
industry, business, and governmental
agencies. He holds a Ph. D. in Literary
Studies from American University. A number
of his other plays have been produced and
published. ESPERS WELL was the winner of
the nationwide Southeastern Theatre Con-
ference Play writing Award for 1983.
The production of ESPERS WELL is an
American College Theatre Festival entry
which means that adjudicators from ACTF
will be on the Longwood campus to critique
the production for the playwright and the cast
and crews. The entry in ACTF makes the
production and the play eligible for a number
of awards sponsored by the festival.
The production is being directed by
Douglas M. Young, associate professor in the
Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts. A
Moffatt Evans, Jr., Technical Director in the
Department, designed the set. Stage Manager
for the production is Dramatic Arts major
Cindy Jude, assisted by Tony Russo. The
lighting designer is Dave Miller, assisted by
Curt Walker. The Properties Manager is Leon
Young, assisted by Belinda Anderson. Bar-
bara Chalfont is the Sound Technician
assisted by Rachel Bowling. The Costume
Mistress is CoUen Brennan, assisted by Patty
Piedmont, and Lisa Magill is Make-up
Mistress.
Longwood students are admitted free to
the play when they present their student I.D.
cards. Admission for other students is $1.50,
and general admission is $2.00.

Lancer Sports
Booters Face Crucial Game
Longwood's status as the second ranked team in
the Mid-Atlantic Region, it's unbeaten (6-0) record
and a possible berth in the Virginia Intercollegiate
Soccer Association Playoffs will all be on the line
Wednesday when the Lancers journey to Ashland to
take on always strong Randolph-Macon at 3:00.
Longwood, 1-0 in the VISA Central Division after
a 2-1 win over Liberty Baptist Friday, must beat the
Yellow Jackets and Radford (Oct. 15) to insure
itself of an opportunity to defend the State Title the
lancers won a year ago.
In what is developing into one of the fiercest
rivalries in the state, the Lancers have beaten
Randolph-Macon two of the last three times the
teams have played. The Lancers took a 3-1 win in
1981 and the teams split last season. The Jackets
won 1-0 in overtime and Longwood took a 2-1
triumph at home.
"Randolph-Macon is probably our biggest in-
state rival," says Lancer coach Rich Posipanko.
"They're usually ranked high in the region and our
games are always close. The game has a lot of
importance for the VISA standings and in the
region."
Longwood's "No Goal Patrol" defense gave up
its first score Friday at Liberty Baptist, but the
Flames needed a lucky bounce off Lancer Scott
Thoden's leg to come up with a goal in the second
half. Longwood has out-scored its six foes 11-1.
Mark McArdle notched his third goal of the
season on an assist from Clay Mullican to give
Longwood a 1-0 lead Friday. After the Flames tied
the score 1-1 in the second half, Lancer captain Bill
Foster scored from 15 yards out on an assist from
Chris Wilkerson to give Longwood its sixth win.
Longwood, which plays at VCU Tuesday,
October 4, hosts Mt. St. Mary's in its next home tilt
Saturday, October 8.
Stickers 2nd In Tourney
Longwood's 5-1 field hockey
team, which won two of three
games in the Longwood
Invitational Tournament over the
weekend, faces a busy week of
action with a contest at Radford
Tuesday, a home game with
Mary Washington Thursday
(3:00) and an important tilt
Saturday at 1 : 00 when Division I
Duke visits.
With last Wednesday's game
with Richmond postponed to
October 31, Longwood dropped a
2-0 decision to Pfeiffer and beat
Virginia Tech 3-0 Friday in the
Longwood Invitational.
Saturday, Longwood whipped
Mount St. Mary's 4-2 in overtime
to claim second place.
Longwood coach Bette Harris
was excited about her team's
comeback against the Mount.
"Beating Mt. St. Mary's is a
tremendous win for us because
we came back from a 2-0 deficit,"
said the coach. "We had some
defensive lapses early, but it
turned out to be a really positive
performance for us."

McArdle Leads Neptune Natives To Longwood
by RONNIE BROWN
It has been over ten years
since Neptune, New Jersey's
Mark McArdle started playing -
youth soccer with or against his
ex-highschool teammates Craig
Reid, Mark Kremen, and his
brother Shawn McArdle. Now
they are together again on the
Longwood College (VA) soccer
team, the defending Virginia
State Champions in the College
Division.
Mark came to Longwood in
the fall of 1982 as a freshman
from Neptune to play soccer for
the Lancers. McArdle and his
new team not only won the state
title, but were ranked in the top 15
in the country in Division II and
posted a 15-4-1 record, the
school's history.
But why do soccer players
from the Shore of New Jersey
come south to rural Farmville in
the heart of Southside Virginia?
"Longwood is one of the top
Division II soccer programs east
of the Mississippi," said head
coach Rich Posipanko.
"Academically it is a fine school
and the location and environment
are also appealing to the
players."
Mark carried on the message
to his friends.
"I told them about the
improving record of the team and
the competition we faced and
they liked it (the school) when
they came down," noted
Mark. "They also like the majors
in business and math."
Since Mark Kremen, Mark
McArdle, Shawn McArdle and
Craig Reid played together in the
youth leagues and at Neptune
High School, it is natural that
they would want to play together
on the college level. Posipanko
believes they will eventually be
on the field together.
They have had excellent
coaching at the club and high
school levels and technically they
are very sound," noted the coach.
"The Shore area is one of the top
soccer areas in New Jersey."
At Neptune, Mark McArdle
was named All-Conference and
All-State and played on the 1980
New Jersey State Championship
team. His brother Shawn played
forward in high school and
earned All-Conference and All-
Shore honors. Mark Kremen was
tabbed to the All-Shore and All-
Monmouth County teams while
Craig Reid was All-Conference as
a junior. Reid sat out his senior
year with an injury.
"All four will be starters at
one point in their careers," added
Posipanko. "It may take
anywhere from a game to next
season."
The quartet, who are listed as
midfielders, may not be playing
midfield, but Posipanko may use
their skills elsewhere in the
Lancer line-up.
The Lancers were 5-0 as of
September 19 and Mark McArdle
had already contributed to the
team. He leads the Neptune
natives with two goals, while his
brother Shawn scored his first
goal against Maryland-Baltimore
County, Sunday September 18.
Reid has been in four of the
Lancer's games while Mark
Kremen has seen action in only
one game. Kremen has been
suffering from a stress fracture
in the foot and will be out for two
to three weeks. He was expected
to be a key performer and
possibly start for the Lancers.
Mark McArdle has proved he
can do big things on the soccer
field, but he also does the little
things required of superior
players. One of his important
qualities is leadership.
"Mark is one of the leaders on
the team. He has matured a great

doubles, but No. 2 and 3 doubles
were rained out.
Earlier last week, Longwood
absorbed its second loss when the
William & Mary Junior Varsity
took a 6-3 win Monday. Longwood
got two forfeit wins and a
triumph at No. 5 singles from
Baines. Baines and soph Karen
Craun, who plays No. 6, have 2-1
records in singles thus far.
Riding Team Opens
After winning 86 ribbons and
taking nine first places last year,
the 1983-84 Longwood riding team
opens its season October 1 in an
intercollegiate horse show at
Mary Washington. The Lancer
riders will be led once again by
Mary Whitlock, who is beginning
her fifth year as coach.
"I think we'll have a real
strong team this year," said
Whitlock, "We have seven
experienced riders back and
some talented newcomers. With
this blend of youth and
experience, I feel we'll have one
of the best teams we've had
here."
Veteran performers include:
deal from a freshman to a lead-
er as a sophomore," said
Posipanko. "I expect the others
to do the same."
Mark doesn't mind the
leadership role one bit.
"I always adapted to being a
leader," says Mark. "I looked at
the leaders on the team when I
was a freshman and do the things
they do."
The 1983 season promises to be
the best in history of Longwood
soccer and with talented and
willing teammates, the I.ancers
will be successful. Mark
McArdle, Shawn McArdle, Craig
Reid and Mark Kremen are
quality additions to a progressive
soccer program.
Rich Posipanko, who is in his
fifth year at the I..ancer helm,
sums it up best when saying "you
have to have winners to get
winners."
These student athletes are
winners.
Kristen Birath, Kirsten
Ladendorf , Carol Turner, Martie
Wilson, Beth Wiley, Mary
Brockwell, and Bryan Farrar.
Both Farrar and Brockwell have
had experience in riding national
championships.
Qualifying for regionals last
year were: Brockwell, Birath,
Turner, and Wiley. Birath placed
fifth in novice on the flat and
fourth in over fences at regionals
last spring.
Newcomers to the team
include: Lisa Nelson, Martha
Chase, sister of former Lancer
rider Cathy Chase, and Lea Anne
Lawson.
Captain of the team for 1983-84
is Bryan Farrar.

Kurt Vonnegut
On Southern Comfort And Republicans
By JEFF ABERNATHY
An interesting sideline to Kurt
Vonnegut's speech at Hampden-
Sydney last week was the fact the
average haircut of the Hampden-
Sydney student is about two
inches shorter than Vonnegut's.
He took it all in stride, though,
noting with some apprehension,
"I am told that 90 percent of you
are Repubhcans."
Vonnegut explained the vast
difference in the issues on college
campuses of today and those of
his college days. Today,
Vonnegut said, "the burning
question on every campus is, 'Do
you use a word processor?' When
I got out of college Hitler was in
power. The burning question at
that time was 'Does penis size
really matter?' " His sarcasm on
modem technology was hard to
miss.
Vonnegut typically showed
little respect for the sensitivity of
his audience. He alienated
students in the computer field by
saying, "If you go into computers
your job is figuring out how to put
your neighbors out of business."
His lack of regard for the rising
level of technology was clear
throughout his speech. "I'm
against it even if it harms
bluebirds," he noted. Vonnegut's
dislike for the scientific
advancement called the nuclear
warhead is clear in his novels and
was obvious in his speech.
Comparing alcoholics to, in his
words, "compulsive war
preparers," Vonnegut insisted
that the American people have
repeatedly made poor choices for
leaders. "We should recognize
that there are those of us who are
hooked on preparations for war."
Vonnegut believes that
Americans should tell these
people, "Honest to God I couldn't
be sorrier for you if I'd seen you
wash down a handful of
amphetamines with a pint of
Southern Comfort."
In not-so-many words,
Vonnegut denounced the Reagan
administration's defense build-
up, particularly the construction
of the MX missile. Noting that
both the U.S. and the Soviet
Union can already destroy all life
on his planet several times over,
Vonnegut clearly sided with
nuclear freeze supporters on the
build-up issue. Proposing a group
called "War Preparers
Anonymous," Vonnegut called
for the group's first member to
introduce himself by saying, "My
name is Western Civilization and
I am a Compulsive War
Preparer."
Clad somewhat paradoxically
in a blue polyester suit with a
yellow and dull green tie,
Vonnegut was at ease with the
crowd of 1,750 people. His shock
of curly brown hair didn't quite
fit in with the bifocal glasses and
greying moustache yet Vonnegut
never once talked the part of a
man born in the 1920's.
His eyes glistened when he
joked with his audience, peering
over his glasses to see the
reaction he got, as if laughter
wasn't quite enough. He was
never formal with the crowd,
quickly noting that, though the
first rule of public speaking is
'Never Apologize,' "I apologize,
I'm sorry about everything, and
I'll do my best to make it up to
you."
Soonafter, Vonnegut pointed
out to the younger members of

Crime Prevention At Longwood: Campus Police
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
Since Eric Shoemaker arrived
at Longwood last November as
the new chief of Campus Police,
he has emphasized shifts in
priority and policy. He has
worked with a limited staff of
eleven policemen and an even
more confining budget to try to
improve the effectiveness of
campus security. "Our main
priority is personal safety of the
students and their property,"
said Shoemaker.
Many students have
complained because the campus
police are not as likely to take
them to or from the Farmville
bus station as in the past. This,
according to Shoemaker is a
matter or priority. "If there's
only one car patrolling, I can't
send it to the bus station. Some
students are going to get turned
down. I would hke to continue the
service, but I need my officers on
campus. If a student called a
campus police at one of the larger
universities, for a ride to a bus
station, by the time the guy
stopped laughing at them, the bus
would've already left ... if we're
here as a taxi service, then they
should take away our guns. We're
here for police work."
Crime prevention has also
become a prime focus of the
campus security force.
Suggestions for improvement of
the lighting on campus are still
being considered. Longwood is
the only institution in the state
that is researching
Environmental Security, a
relatively new crime prevention
angle, that considers how
architectural design of buildings,
and landscaping can contribute
to crime. Chief Shoemaker
recently presented a paper on the
research of Environmental
Security, and looks forward to
developing the program further.
In regard to the actual crime
rate at Longwood, Shoemaker
points out that students are very
rarely the source of any real
crime. Between November of
1982 and July of 1983, there were
only seven arrests on campus,
none of which included Longwood
students.
One of the biggest problems
with crime solving is in the
reporting of offenses. Either
because people don't consider the
offense serious enough, or
because they are afraid of getting
too involved for whatever reason,
people are too slow about re-
porting crime. "That's why we
instituted the 'Call a Campus Cop
First' program". Shoemaker felt
that a great deal of the crime at
Longwood could have been
prevented. There was a series of
incidents last fall where a man
was arrested for entering girl's
dorm rooms through doors that
the residents had left unlocked.
Shoemaker made several
references to the tight budget
that the department is working
under, alluding to the "Robb bare
bones" approach to govern-
ment. "Ijongwood is not a rich
institution, I can't expect to have
any more (money) than any
other department."

''The End Of Things'' A Review
By DAVID S. AREFORD
Last week, the Longwood Players and Department of Speech and Drama presented the world
premiere of Espers Well, a play by Richard Lauchman. The performances by Sherry Forbes (as
Ma), Jamie Coy (as Emma), and Jerry Dagenhart (as Trepps) were excellent. Their acting and the
characters they portray outshine the play as a whole.
The play presents "the end of things." No, it's not a test or a hoax. The buttons have been
pushed. The earth is a wasteland, where a tew wander, searching for food and other survivors. Jim
Trepps, a New York artist, finds both: a little stew and two women, Ma and her daughter, Emma,
living in a house in the Appalachian Mountains. A place called Esper's Well. A strange place.
Jim is suffering from the effects of radiation, and even though he says he is not ready to die, his
body is slowly deteriorating and mentally he is feeling more and more like a dead man. His home of
New York is gone and along with it an ice-skating rink and other physical reminders of what life was.
There is nothing.
Emma is pregnant and burdened by epilepsy and by having to care for her mother. Little by
little, she is giving up life, preparing for her death, planning her and Ma's suicides. Her child is no
hope to her, for how could she bring a child into such a world. Whether it is bom dead or alive, she will
birth the child over the well and let it fall into the darkness.
Ma, even though a murdering, vicious person, is a lonely, insane woman who we pity. She is
afraid Emma will abandon her, and Ma will even murder to keep Emma from leaving.
Not only do these characters face "The end of things", but also they must deal with the
mysterioussettingof Espers Well. This is an eery place filled with strange images and stories: a dog
that dives into its reflection in a pond and doesn't come up, where nothing comes up; an imaginary
play-mate of Emma's childhood who gobbles up an imaginary baby; Ma's imaginary friend who
gobbles up a com cob doll ; an old hag of a woman from Ma's dream who spits fire ; a legend of a man
named Esper who drank the well water and went crazy, killing his family of eight with a hatchet;
images of blackness, of a pit; and a cave that Emma's father shows her when she is a child, a cave
that he says was the backdoor to Hell.
And if the cave nearby is the backdoor, then Espers Well is the front door. A pit — an abyss —
drops below the house, as Trepps imagines, and the old woman spitting fire is a demon from the pit
as are the little imaginary children-gobbling friends. Ma is an extension of these creatures, she
drinks the well water — the spring of Hell — and like Esper becomes a crazed murderer.
Even though all these elements add to the hellishness of this play-world, they seem to diffuse the
unity of the play. On one hand, we have characters facing the results of a nuclear holocaust; and on
the other hand the same characters trapped in some kind of "Twilight Zone" or "Amityville Horror"-
like story. The two stories do not really mesh, for this mysterious place with crazy Ma would have
existed without the fact of the end of the world.
Tlie story of crazed Esper who killed his family and threw them in the well because hun-
gry beings told him to and the images of gobbled-up children seem to fit, but we can not be led
to believe that some kind of tangible "evil" haunts the house. This conclusion is shattered by the
"real" humanness of Ma. We understand her loneliness and desperation.
There are also biblical overtones; the first scene of Act II, for instance, ending with the idea of
Emma, pregnant with the new Christ-child of the Second Coming. Ma thinking that Trepps is a
modem-day wiseman bringing a can of peaches as a gift.
But this is just a flicker of hope, for Emma does straddle the well to birth her child. A horrible
image. It brings to mind what Pozzo says in Becket's Waiting for Godot, "They give birth astride of a
grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more." The difference here is that there is not
a "gleam" of hope. Emma says, "There was nothin' in me." No child, no hope of continuance,
nothing at all.
The haunted house story and the added biblical allusions simply confuse what is lasting and most
important, characters facing the end: Trepps with his initial difbelief and his longing for an ice-
skating rink; Emma's decision to have her child astride the well; and the final image of Ma, alone,
wearing her funeral hat, staring into the rat water, preparing to die. There are the words of a prayer
on her lips. But there is no God, nor is there a devil or "evil". God does not exist, except in the head of
a crazy woman who hardly deserves to be loved by a God. If there is a God, then he "had nothing to do
with this", as Emma tells Ma. It is the fault of mankind.
What remains is summed up in Archibald Macleish's poem, "The End of the World" — There
with vast wings across the canceled skies, / There in the sudden blackness the black pall / Of nothing,
nothing, nothing — nothing at all."

"It's the hardest role I've ever
done," admitted Jerry D^en-
hart about his role of Trepps in
Espers Well. The show was
another big step for the
Longwood Players. When You
Comin' Back Red Ryder, last
year's final production was the
first step. "We're progressing
politically and liberally," says
Dagenhart. The reactions to the
progress range from irate to
ecstatic. "One lady wrote to the
Board of Visitors saying she was
going to revoke her donation
because of the subject matter in
Red Ryder." The last two shows
have been geared toward mature
audiences and are offering
variety and challenge for the
audience, technicians and actors.
The playwright, Richard
Lauchman, attended several
rehearsals, which provided a
rare opportunity for college
actors to work one on one with the
writer. In addition to the
director's point of view and their
own interpretations, they get the
exact character direction and
conception from the creator
himself.
Espers Well was a big
challenge for its audiences as
well. Anyone who saw it might
have walked out of Jarman
feeling like they had just seen a
live episode of the "Twilight
Zone." Close enough. A shorter
version was originally written for
"The Dark Room" series, a
short-lived TV show in "The
Twilight Zone" tradition, but the
show ended before Espers Well
appeared.
Dr. Douglas Young selected a
veteran cast for Espers Well to
represent Longwood at the
American College Theatre
Festival (ACTF): Dagenhart,
Jammie Coy, an adjunct faculty
member of the Drama
Department, and Sherry Forbes,
who is in her last semester at
Longwood before doing her
internship at Virginia Museum
Theatre. If the show is judged
favorably at the ACTF it could go
on to the national competition at
the Kennedy Center in
Washington. Preliminary
judging Friday night was
positive.

Letter To The
Editor
"Dream Remembered^^
When I close my eyes really tight, I can almost
imagine what Lebanon must be like in October. The land
is dry and the sun is bright. There aren't any oaks or
clouds. And the men carry M-16's instead of briefcases,
and their faces are hard and tired. The women walk
with their backs hunched and hold their children tight
with fear, by their sides, slapping them if their laughter
penetrates the thick silence.
American Peacekeepers lie on the ground with full
green garb, and their faces are covered with sweat and
sand. Their weapons are loaded with real live honest-to-
God, peacekeeping gut-ripping rounds, and the medics
are carrying four more fallen angels whose bandages or
caskets will raise the stakes.
There are 2100 Marines stationed in Lebanon as a
Peacekeeping force against the insurrection there, from
first the Syrians, and now even other Lebanese.
For the sake of economy or for the sake of security,
lives are being sold and our nation's leaders are the
one's who are selling out.
Economy. Our bellies will be full, our taxes
decreased, while men are being shipped home to mama
in plastic bags. Security. Whose security? Certainly
Congress is sleeping v/ell tonight, and Reagan — or Mr.
Reagan, you won't hear the shelling through the safety
of your white walls.
And now it's all settled. Congress finally decided
that it's all right with them if Reagan extends the
Marines' stay for 18 more months. Did someone mention
War Powers Act?
How much longer will it take this Peacekeeping
force and how many more men will die before Reagan is
satisfied that our job is done. Peace — that is what
you're after, right? And that is what you've named these
armed troops? Sometimes I forget.
The Senate also defeated a Democratic suggestion
that the Marines be brought home within 60 days, unless
Reagan provided Congress with his objectives for the
Peacekeeping Mission. Is that because Senate is afraid
to face the reality of their motion, or is it because
Reagan has yet to formulate any definable objectives?
Is it a show of the every almighty all powerful United
States' biceps — a show that the pawns are paying for?
How long will the people of America be silent while
being led blindly through the mine fields? Has it been so
long ago that we've forgotten Vietnam? How long will
people continue their day-to-day routine, refusing to
question our leaders? The fear of facing the fallibility of
the American government is nowhere as great as the
horror of what is going on in the lives, deaths and minds
of our men in Lebanon.

. Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of freedom
And give me the courage to be what I can
And when I have wounded the last one who loved me
Lord help him forgive me, I don't understand."
Kris Kristofferson
I want to commend you and J.
Abemathy for his moving article,
"Forgotten Dream." As I read in
utter amazement, yet with
genuine pride, tears swelled in
my eyes . . . Tears of pain as I
remembered the day that one of
the truly great giants was shot
down in cold-blood because he
believed in "love, peace and
freedom" for all people . . . Tears
of joy because we still celebrate
and remember his greatness . . .
Pride in the Rotunda for having
"come a long way" . . . Pride to
be a part of the growing
Longwood family that is working
towards seeing that the dream is
not deliberately deferred, even in
Farmville, Virginia.
En route home, I continued to
bask in the warmth of the good
feelings. As I waited at the
crosswalk for a group of laughing
white male students to cross
towards the hi-rise dorms in front
of my car, one of them referred to
me as a "bitch".
Reality is a fascinating
personality dimension. I would be
less than honest if I said I wasn't
hurt. For a brief shining moment,
I too, felt the essence of a possible
Camelot. The pain made me
aware that there is still much to
be done. Moving forward means
letting go of the pain, and to
pursue continued movement
towards personal growth and
development . . . leaving space
for challenge and change.
To the young men involved,
there is little that I can do to alter
your behavior, for we all are a
sum total of our experiences . . .
you, yours, and me, mine. I can
understand you, and I do. But you
need to know, I am not
disappearing because of your
ignorance, disrespect and
impotence. In every experience
there is some good, even when
one has to work hard to see it.
Often it is out of pain and despair
one discovers inner depth
unknown. You see, I come from a
long line of survivors, a blessed
and capable peopel with the will
and destiny to overcome. For
you, I wish to paraphrase
Sterling A. Brown's "Strong
Men": "One thing you cannot
prohibit ... are the strong black
people coming on / The strong
black people gettin'
stronger/ strong black men and
women / Stronger . . ." Thank
you for keeping me on my toes ! ! !

(Continued from page 1)
his audience that "if you want to
upset your parents and don't
have nerve enough to be a
homosexual, the least you can do
is get into the arts."
As in his most popular novel
Slaughterhouse Five, Vonnegut's
speech was fragmented. Ranging
from Charles Dickens ("a superb
performer of pre-electronic TV" )
to firearms ("firing a gun is
about as difficult as operating a
hghter"), Vonnegut seemed to be
rambling through much of his
speech. As in his novel however,
it all began to fit together near
the end.
"Just because we can build
something doesn't mean that we
should build it," Vonnegut told a
silent crowd. "The raging
question of your generation is
"What are people for? What are
they to do while they are here?"
In the face of a choice between
automation of nearly all facets
of human life or nuclear
holocaust, Kurt Vonnegut stands
appalled.
"What would you do with a
human being if you owned one of

McDonalds?"
Archeology Field School
The Search Continues
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
While most of us were lying on
the beach this summer or sipping
daiquiris by the pool, 36
Longwood students were on their
hands and knees in an open field,
under a roasting sun, digging
through dirt inch-by-inch looking
for God only knows what. This
was the third summer that Dr.
Jordan held the Archeology Field
School at Longwood. "You've got
to be deranged in part or highly
motivated to do this kind of
thing," according to Jordan.
This summer the group spent
eleven weeks excavating a site in
Prince Edward County, just a
few miles from Farmville on the
Appomattox River, called the
Smith-Taylor mound site. The
Smith-Taylor excavation was
particularly significant not only
to Longwood's archeology
department, but to the entire
scope of archeology in the state of
Virginia. Southside Virginia
holds many buried secrets from a
prehistoric past. "We are in a
dark room and we're lighting a
small candle," Jordan explains.
This area served as a barrier
between different tribes of
Indians, and was probably used
primarily as a hunting ground or
a refuge for the Indians,
according to Jordan's
speculations. The Smith-Taylor
mound site is the first major
archeological undertaking for the
group, and because of it's
significance to Longwood and to
the archeology of Virginia, Dr.
Jordan urged the Governor to
visit the site and examine the
findings.
Governor Charles S. Robb
agreed, and visited the site June
15. He arrived in the standard
governor attire, his three piece
suit, to take a look at what these
sweaty sunburned archeologists
found so intriguing in the dirt in
104 degree weather. Even the
Richmond based. Eyewitness
News Team from Channel 8 came
out to see why these students
were spending their summer in a
prehistoric sandbox.
So far, the field school's
findings have included pottery -
pieces, that date as far back as
5000 years ago, and were
probably used to store food. They
have found projectile points,
blades, pieces of wall and hand
axes. "It's conceivable that when
you find a stone, you are touch-
ing something that no one else
has touched in 4000 years," Dr.
Jordan explains the rewards of
the search.
Dr. Jordan describes the
ground that is excavated as a
book — a very old book. "It's the
only copy of the book in the world,
and the point is getting every
piece of information. And that's
why we use a trawl instead of a
bulldozer." Participation in the
field school gives students a
"chance, maybe their only
chance in the world, to make that
leap backward in time." The

students are not all archeology
majors, or even minors, they are
a group of interested people who
find a challenge in digging up
pieces of an age old puzzle.
The Smith-Taylor mound site
was named by Dr. Jordan's
archeology group in honor of the
landowner, Mr. Robert Smith,
and for Mr. Robert Taylor,
president of Taylor
Manufacturing, in Farmville,
who brought the potentiality of
the site as an archeological
interest to Dr. Jordan's attention.
The field school will continue at
the site next summer, as they
have only covered 8 percent of
the area so far.
It takes something special to
spend a summer digging through
the ground little by little.
"Archeologists tend to be more
earthy, playful and introspective
about their business than most
academic fields," explained
Jordan. "You can be more holy
and fully human in archeology. It
involves your mind, your senses,
your fingers, your knees and your
back, — and you're still a
scientist."

Longwood's 6-1 soccer team,
stung by a 2-1 loss at Randolph-
Macon Wednesday, will try to
bounce back at Virginia
Commonwealth Tuesday and at
home Saturday when Mount St.
Mary's pays a visit.
The VCU contest begins at 3:30
Tuesday while Saturday's contest
kicks off at 1:00. Coach Rich
Posipanko says his team must
come back strong if it hopes to
earn a spot in the Virginia
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association Playoffs.
"Randolph-Macon is in the
driver's seat right now in the
Central Division, but we can still
get in the playoffs if we have a
good record and get the wild card
berth," said the coach. "We've
got to take advantage of our
scoring opportunities. We could
have been ahead of Randolph-
Macon 3-0 at the half, but we
missed some easy shots."
Freshman Shawn McArdle
gave Longwood a 1-0 lead in the
first half on Wednesday's contest,
but that was the only one of 14
first half shots that found the
mark. Macon got a 35-yard direct
kick just before the half and
dominated play in the second
half. Longwood had 21 shots to
the Yellow Jackets 17.
"Our defense is still doing a
solid job," said Posipanko.
"We've got to find a way to
increase our offensive
production."
Top scorers for Longwood have
been Mark McArdle with three
goals, his brother Shawn with two
and Bill Foster with two goals
and two assists.

Sullivan Chosen
Longwood senior shortstop
John Sullivan was among the
final group chosen at the Virginia
Olympic Tryouts September 24 at
the University of Virginia.
Sulhvan is a native of East
Quogue, New York and a grad of
W. Hampton Beach ffigh. While
only one player was picked to go
on to the regional tryouts in
I^uisville, Sullivan was one of
three shortstops picked for the
final cut. Former Virginia State
player Steve EUerbe, a left-
fielder, was picked by the tryout
staff to go to Louisville in
October. Sullivan batted .347 with
6 doubles and 4 homers in 1983.
Longwood coach Buddy
Bolding, a member of the tryout
staff, said it was the consensus of
the group to send the player with
the best opportunity for making
the national team. Baseball will
be a demonstration sport at the
1984 Olmpics in Los Angeles.

LC Impact On
Fast Foods
Longwood College students
have a great impact on the
business of McDonalds and
Hardees. McDonalds Manager
Carolyn Reed and Hardees
Supervisor Vickie Lee both said
that they get more business from
Longwood students than Hamp-
den-Sydney students. The
Longwood community greatly
increases the sales by a rough
estimate of 21 percent at
McDonalds and at least 30 per-
cent at Hardees.
Both Hardees Supervisor Lee
and McDonalds Manager Reed
said that there is a marked
decrease in sales during sunmier
vacation and wiien the students
are on break during the school
term. Lee said that the peak
months for Hardees are Sep-
tember, March, and May. Reed
said the busiest times for
McDonalds are spring and late
summer and that business is very
slow during the winter months
January-March.

Scholar Speaks On Role In Soviet History
(Public Affairs) — Blacks have
traditionally played a larger role
in Russian life than their small
numbers would indicate, a
scholar on the subject recently
told a Longwood College
audience.
Dr. Allison Blakely, an
associate professor of history at
Howard University, discussed
the role of blacks in both Imperial
and Soviet Russia on Sept. 29. His
talk, sponsored by the
Association of Black i^udents,
was the first in a series of lec-
tures by black scholars.
Although there has never been
more than 20,000 people of direct
African descent at any one time
in Russia, "their role and
presence is much greater than
numbers would suggest," said
Dr. Blakely. The majority has
lived in small, scattered set-
tlements in the Caucasus
mountains near the Black Sea.
There is evidence of blacks in
modem Russia as early as the 5th
century, but most "go back only a
few centuries and can be traced
to slaves of Arab, Turkish or
Georgian nobility," he said. Most
blacks from the Black Sea region
are of mixed blood, perhaps of
Persian or Turkish ancestry.

status in Russia was Abram
Hannibal, who was a favorite of
czar Peter the Great, according
to Dr. Blakely. Brought to Russia
as a servant in the early 18th
century, Hannibal obtained a
formal education and advanced
to the rank of general in the army
engineers. He was the maternal
great-grandfather of Alexander
Pushkin, the famous 19th century
poet.
"Hannibal was accepted into
Russian nobility," Dr. Blakely
said. "If you had high con-
nections, it didn't matter what
color you were. Class and wealth
were more important than race."
Most blacks, however, were
servants, and many served in the
czar's court.
Since the beginning of Soviet
Russia, Communist Party of-
ficials have recognized the
propaganda usefulness of
American blacks, the professor
said. They have sought to portray
blacks as oppressed and
"downtrodden" —to the point of
rejecting blacks for film roles
because their skin was too light.
Most of the blacks vfho visited
the Soviet Union in the 1920s,
after the Russian Civil War, did
so out of curiosity or to seek a
better life, rather than for
ideological reasons, said Dr.
Blakely. Many of these black
visitors, such as poet Claude
McKay, were treated as
celebrities by Soviet authorities.
Very few blacks ever stayed.
Many blacks have found a
discrepancy between Soviet
rhetoric and reality, said Dr.
Blakely. One who didn't was
singer-actor Paul Robeson, who
was black-balled and whose
career was ruined in the 1950s for
his pro-Soviet sympathies.

The President wants to sell materials for the
production of nuclear energy to the Indians. They won't
promise not to turn the plutonium into bombs, but that's
o.k. because the Supreme Court is keeping up the world
balance by approving the constitutionality of a ban on
hand guns in Morton Grove, Illinois. The Senate is
reviewing a proposal to institute a "peacetime" draft,
and Ted Kennedy is speaking in Lynchburg to 5000
Moral Majority supporters. Something's gone astray,
and we're all in for big trouble.
Dumbstruck by all the confusion, I called a friend in
D. C. — Ginger 0. Pricely — who's a secretary on
Capitol Hill for some bigshot conservative in the House.
I asked her who was planning all of this madness, but
she wasn't quite sure. She didn't know too much about
Kennedy ("fruitcake" I believe was the term she used),
and she took to screaming when I told her that this
nation is being guided by a seventy-five year old milk
fanatic who wants to arm every third citizen with a
personal nuclear warhead for use in the event of
defense.
When she had calmed down she told me not to
worry, that the Russians, being the vile and immoral
heathans they are, were going to blow us up within two
months with their newly developed remote control
laser blasters. Zowie.
"Yea, they're gearing up for World War Three here
in the capital," Ginger tells me. She's not exactly sure
just how it's going to go down, though.
"Reagan told the U. N. that 'nuclear
nonproliferation must not be the forgotten element of
the world's arm control agenda,'" Ginger said.
"So he turns around and is trying to sell the Indians,
the South Africans, and the Argentians these
radioactive playtoys," I noted, "without a
nonproliferation treaty."
"Only because he supports nuclear energy."
"But still they can make bombs with the surplus
plutonium if the notion hits them."
"They say not — you can't tell — that's the First
Opportunity for the big boom."
A friend of Ginger's boss is U. S. Ambassador at-
large Richard Kennedy (no relation). "He knows how it
Letter To Editor
Discontented Din(n)er
Confusion In The Ranks
is," Ginger insists, "the other day he told the Senate
that 'if we don't (sell the nuclear materials to India),
someone else will.'"
I thought I'd heard the line before, but I decided not
to press it, so I changed the subject — ■ "What's this
about a peacetime draft?"
"Opportunity Number Two. I'm not sure, it's not
your average annual draft bill. Now you're got six dead
bodies from Lebanon and more from Central America.
Senator Hollings, who proposed the bill of course, is up
for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, so he's
serious about it. He wants all men age 18-24 to serve at
least two years in the armed forces."
"At any rate, we won't be getting any federal aid for
school for another year unless we register to be drafted,
right?"
"At least a year; the Supreme Court won't even see
the Solomon Amendment dictating that until next
year. The Selective Service will be dropping you a little
red card in the mail if you registered, though, so you can
show the world that you're a hell-raising, battle-hungry,
registered American man.

TTiis year during dinner meals
the dining hall is too crowded for
the 'rush-in rush-out' schedules
that many students have to keep.
Night classes and meetings are
scheduled right around dinner
time. It's too rushed to be able to
get through long dinner lines in
time. Something must be done.
The waiting lines ran from the
food counters, out around both
the Rotunda and the New
Smoker. While standing in the
lines, you'll always hear students
complain of being on a tight
schedule, having to run here and
there. Students have skipped
meals or had to spend money to
go elsewhere because of the long
lines and limited time. This year
during dinner, there are too
many students for ARA and their
student help to manage, in the
time allowed.
During weekday lunch meals,
the students are divided between
the upper and lower dining halls.
This would be a beneficial idea
for dinner meals, too. The flow of
traffic would go much faster.
Those involved with food
preparation wouldn't necessarily
have to make more food, they
could simply transport some of it
to the lower dining hall. Another
suggestion might be to have the
dinner lower dining hall meal
similar to the lunch menu.
Opening the lower dining hall
for weekday dinner meals would
cut down and speed up those long
and dreaded lines. Sure, it might
be a little more work for those
involved with preparations and
service, but aren't they supposed
to cater to the students?

"I don't think it matters anyway, ya know, damned
liberals in the Court have let those gun-control fanatics
win a big one. Opportunity Three."
"Morton Grove?"
"Yea, before you know it they'll be locking up Matt
Dillon for carrying a gun in Dodge City. All we're gonna
have left in this country is a bunch of defenseless
liberals. Communists will walk right on up to the White
House."
"I take it you and your boss didn't approve of the
Court's vote."
"I haven't seen him so mad since Carter got elected.
I think he's out at target practice now. Last thing he said
before he left the office was "Handguns don't kill
people, damn it, people do."
"More familiar logic, I see."
"Anybody with any sense knows how to fire a gun these
days. Hell, the military is turning out new recruits like
they's going out of style, and every one of them is a
crack shot."
"Something like that — yea ROTC is up all over,
Berkeley's got 3 percent enrollment in the program. It's
amazing, news like that."
"It's great — I feel like I'm part of a real nation
now — strength, baby, strength. It's the best defense
any nation ever had. Show some muscle, kick some a.,
don't take nothin' offa nobody — Carry a big stick and
all that.
"Korean Jet Liner, Ginger. What happed to Ron
Reagan — the ail-American, bullet-bitin' cowboy?"
"All a simple slip-up, anybody could've done it, and
he's still a damned-sight better than Carter. He knows
about a strong America. Build up defense — MX'em off
the planet! Start the draft — I'd fight if they'd only let
me — Join the Army, damnitall, it's the only way to go."

Jack, was the best of the evening.
Soafford's audience picked up the
emotion of the song and appeared
to enjoy it.
Many of the songs played
Tuesday will be featured on the

which brought the vocals of Jim

"Oliver," alias BiU Soafford,
played for a small crowd of thirty
to thirty-five people in the Gold
Room on Tuesday, October 11.
Especially popular in the early
seventies, he sang "Morning
Starshine" and "Jean, Jean,"
both of v^^ich sold over one
million copies.
Coming out in a bright red
shirt, black corduroys and brown
leather boots, Soafford looked the
part of a Texas cowboy. The
singing, however, improved on
the image.
His raggae version of the Hall &
Oats hit "Rich Girl" was a strong
lead for the show. "Barnyard," a
blues song which he wrote,
featured nice lyrics ("You
could've heard the vegetables
scream") and rhythmic Do-do- on the album. He played the title

see the concentration camps, for
example."
Dr. Blakely believes the Soviet
government has dispersed blacks
to different parts of the country to
avoid possible embarrassment.
Such a policy may have been a
result of a book by Josef Stalin's
daughter, now an ex-patriate in
the West, which describes blacks
living in squalor in villages near
the Black Sea, he added.
Today, African college
students study in the USSR and
receive generous stipends from
the government, he said. Those
stipends have led to resentment
on the part of some Russian
citizens and allegations of
mistreatment. Most African
students return home after their
studies are completed, Dr.
Blakely said.
Unfortunately, the Soviet
census isn't very detailed, so
scholars do not know how many
blacks live there or where they
are concentrated, he said.
Dr. Blakely is a member of
Longwood's advisory committee
for the department of history and
government, which met the day
after his lecture. The author of
numerous articles on blacks in
Oktoberfest this year is going to be a real exciting event! Many
activities are scheduled such as clown shows, class color skits, paint
battle, festaus, performances of organizations such as Concert
Qioir, Band, Catalinas, and many more events, including the
"OOOP Parade".
So now is your chance Longwood students to get involved, and
make this the best Oktoberfest ever! ! ! !

Commentary by

Soccer Needs
Some Respect
Soccer. Some call it a minor
sport along the lines of swim-
ming, cross-country or fencing.
Since it received national at-
tention in 1975 with the ap-
pearance of Brazilian star Pele in
the North American Soccer
Leage (NASL), soccer has grown
by leaps and bounds. Oddly
enough, it has come from the pro
ranks down to the sandlot
leagues. But even with increased
support in the NASL and the
collegiate level, soccer still gets
no respect.
Yes, football is the American
sport, but why has soccer been
lost in the shuffle in the back of
the sports section in the major
papers?
Soccer is played continuously
for two 45 minute halves and
requires great stamina. Indeed, a
soccer player who stays on the
field for the duration of the
game runs up to five or six miles
almost non-stop. Timeouts are
taken when an injured players is
on the field and substitutions are
made while the game is still in
play. This not only increased the
fluidity of the game, but deletes
the dead spots that are common
in football.
Excitement! Let's talk about
the bicycle kick by Pele or the
somersault throw-in by
Virginia's Voga Wallace,
liongwood fans can remember
Gus I^al's scissor kick into the
goal last season. How about those
headers into the goal off a comer
kick ! Yes, you may have to wait a
while for this to happen while you
are sitting on the bleachers on
First Avenue Field, but it is
worth it. Instant replay would do
justice for soccer.
liOngwood has also treated
soccer as a second class sport.
For example, Darryl Case, the
mainstay of the Lancers'
defense, had been named All-
American for two consecutive
years, but has never been named
Male Athlete of the Year. He is
the only male athlete to ever
achieve AU-American at
Longwood.
On the national level we can

Boaters Win Gobbler Classic
Longwood's soccer team closed
out a 3-0 week Sunday afternoon,
shutting out host Virginia Tech 1-
0 to win the championship in the
Gobbler Soccer Classic at
Blacksburg. TTie Lancer booters
boosted their record to 10-1-1.
The Lancers, ranked third in
the Mid-Atlantic Region, wiU
return home to face a strong Vir-
ginia Wesleyan team Saturday at
2:00, before hosting Roanoke
Wednesday, October 26.
Longwood notched its sixth
shutout of the season Sunday
behind freshman goalie Rob
Liessem and got a first half goal
from senior Tim Brennan. Coach
Rich Posipanko's team out-shot
the Hokies 26-7, but failed to cash
in numerous scoring chances.
The Lancers, who beat Mary
Washington 3-1 last Wednesday,
had a tough battle in the semi-
finals of the Gobbler Classic
before taking a 2-1 triumph in
overtime from Radford. Senior
Chris Wilkerson scored on a
breakaway via a Johnathan
Kennen assist to tie the game 1-1
and bring on overtime Saturday
afternoon.
Sophomore Sam St. Phard
scored the game-winner on a pass
from Clay Mullican. St. Phard's
goal, which came on a
breakaway, enabled Longwood to
trim the Highlanders, who had a
20-18 edge in shots.

Player Of
The Week
Sophomore Karen Moye
played a key role in
Longwood's volleyball win
over Chowan last Tuesday and
for her performance, the Lady
Lancer co-captain has been
named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the
period October 7-14. Player of
the Week is picked by the
Longwood Sports Information
Office.
"In our win against Chowan
(6-15, 15-10, 15-9), Karen
played an outstanding game,"
said coach Sherry Will. "She
was very strong on spiking
with 12 aces and made several
key blocks, two solo. She was
definitely a strong factor in
the win. She showed her
versatility by responding well
to her switch to setter-hitter."
Moye made good on 22 out of
a possible 25 chances as a
setter for a percentage of 88.
Will also cited the sophomore
for her leadership.
Longwood's field hockey team,
ranked eighth in NCAA Division
II, battled Division I Eastern
Kentucky to a 1-1 tie Friday in the
James Madison Invitational on a
first half goal by Mary Dey.
TTie Lady Lancers, now 7-2-3,
travel back to Harrisonburg
Tuesday to play James Madison,
before hosting Appalachian State
Saturday morning at 10:00.
Coach Bette Harris' team
suffered a severe blow Friday
when senior goalie Terry
Chumley was knocked out of
action near the end of regulation
play with a broken wrist.
Sophomore Lorraine Hall filled in
admirably in the remainder of
the game and two overtime
periods.
The Eastern Kentucky contest
matched Dr. Harris against two
of her former players. Eastern
Kentucky is coadied by Lynn
Harvell, who played for Dr.
Harris at Madison, and assisted
by 1983 Longwood graduate Mary
Milne, a field hockey and
lacrosse standout with the Lady
Lancers.
The apparent loss of Chumley,
who had to have her wrist placed
in a cast, is a tough one for
Longwood. The senior co-captain
had allowed less than one goal
per game. Coach Harris,
however, expressed confidence in
Hall, who played well Friday.
"Lorraine did a good job when
she came in for Terry," said the
Longwood coach. "I was pleased
with some aspects of our play on
astro-turf. We did a good job
defensively."

Lady Lancer Duo Strives To Succeed
By CINDY CORELL
To say that Longwood golfers
Sue Morgan and Lanie Gerken
have a lot in common is putting it
mildly. Boty are from New York,
both are business majors and
both have made tremendous
improvement in their golf games
over the past two years.
In fact, the two roommates
have made big enough strides in
golf that they are both pondering
careers on the women's pro golf
circuit after graduation.
Several weeks back, Sue shot
230 and Lanie 231 for 54 holes in
the Longwood Invitational
Tournament. For Sue that was 36
strokes better than her 1981
Longwood Invitational and for
Lanie, a 23 stroke improvement
from the same year. The Lady
Lancer duo have come a long way
in two short years.
Sue's 230 gave her a third place
finish in the Invitational, anfl
she came within two strokes of
beating former Longwood golfer
Robin Andrews' three round
record of 229. Her first round 73
(73-83-74) was the lowest round
by a Longwood golfer since 1980.
A player with less integrity
than Morgan could have scored
four strokes lower. The senior
accidently played the wrong ball
on the 9th hole of the second
round. She reported the mistake
and was required to practically
play the hole over. The penalty
cost her four strokes as she took a
10 on the hole.
"When I realized that it wasn't
my ball," she said, "I thought

Laps For Lancers''^
WALK-JOG-A-THON
The third walk-jog-a-thon
"Laps for the Lancers" will be
held Sunday afternoon at 4:00
starting in front of the
Rotunda. Over 100 par-
ticipants are expected to walk
or jog around a .4 of a mile
layout as many times as
possible in one hour.
Participants will raise
money for Longwood Athletics
through pledges for each lap
completed. Over $3,500 was
raised for Longwood Athletics
last year as more than 130
walkers or joggers took part in
the one-hour event.
Groups or organizations
from the college or the local
community are eligible to
participate. Outside groups
who take part in "Laps for the
Lancers" will receive one-half
(50 per cent) of their total
pledge money with the other
half going to Longwood
Athletics.
Any group, organization or
individual who desires to
participate is welcome. For
more information, contact
Rich Posipanko at 392-9323 or
392-9268. It is not too late to
take part.
Lady Lancer Golfers
12th In Duke Tourney
Longwood's women's golf
team ran into some stiff
Division I competition Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in the
Duke University Invitational
as the Lady Lancers ended up
in twelfth place with rounds of
341-336-321 for a 998.
Next up for Longwood will
be the equally tough Lady Tar
Heel Invitational October 21-
23 at Finley Golf Course in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Top performers for
Longwood were senior captain
Sue Morgan with an 85-79-75-

79-79-83-241. Other scores
included: Carol Rhoades 89-

about not saying anything, but I

you've got to live with yourself.
It's a game of honesty, you know.
I would' ve won the tournament;

Coach Barbara Smith was very
pleased with Sue's honesty in the
matter. "I told her Sunday," said
the coach, "that I thought more
of her for doing that than any
score she could've gotten. It's
simply the thing to do; it's just
playing by the rules of golf."
Both golfers and their coach
have noticed more improvement
in their mental approach to
tournament play than in their
actual scores. "They've im-

coach. "I think the big difference

LETTER TO
THE SPORTS
EDITOR
• •* •
LC Football?
It's October and the weather
has begun to turn cool. Fall
sports are well underway. But,
something is missing at
Longwood College — a football
team. Since Longwood has gone
co-ed, we have men's basketball,
baseball, soccer, rugby, etc. But
they don't seem to create the
same effect that football does. We
have enough guys for the other
sports, why not football?
Without football, we don't have
a Saturday game to look forward
to. We don't have parties
afterward to celebrate a win
against a big rival. Without
football, Longwood doesn't have
a homecoming game at which big
crowds turn out for. The parents
can't watch their sons play
football during Octoberfest
weekend.
A football team would improve
the impressions that people have
of Longwood. It would generate
more interest. It would make
Longwood more well known.
Longwood's scores would be
announced along with other
school scores. Having a football
team would also encourage more
men to apply to Longwood and
this would further increase the
male population.
Football creates a certain kind
of excitement and school spirit
that the other sports don't seem
to do. Students, parents, and
faculty members would turn out
for the games, even willing to pay
a few dollars to see I^ongwood
football. It would be something
else for our school to be proud of.
Hopefully sometime in the
future, with more money and
support, Longwood will have its
very own football team. After all,
we need something else to beat
Hampden-Sydney in.
mental composure is very good.
They're both mature players, and
they both have the potential to
have a very outstanding career in
golf."
Sue adds that "my biggest
improvement is in my mental
game. With a little experience,
you're able to to do better
mentally. I still need more
experience."
Lanie's college golf career has
been shorter than Sue's, as Lanie
is a junior and Sue will graduate
this spring. Lanie's career at
Longwood suffered a major
setback when she broke her
collarbone after playing in just
two tournaments her freshman
year. She then stayed out the next
semester for recuperation. But
when she finally came back, her
comeback was tremendous. She
recently won the Yale
Invitational in early October,
with a two-day total of 158. Her
scores of 85 and 73 brought
Division II Longwood to third
place in a predominantly
Division I tournament.
Lanie's stroke average so far
this year is a fine 78.7. If she
maintains that pace throughout
the year, she will beat the
Longwood stroke average record
of 79. Seven of Lanie's ten scores
have been in the 70's. Sue is close
behind with five out of ten scores
in the 70's and a 79.7 average.
Although golf is a common

Volleyball
LC Ties For Third
By JIM WINKLER
Liberty Baptist College won
four straight matches to capture
the championship of the third
annual Cindy Smith Memorial
Invitational Tournament
Saturday afternoon. Six teams
competed in this year's tourney
which is held in honor of the late
Cindy Smith, a Longwood
alumnus and former volleyball
player. Liberty Baptist defeated
Radford in the finals 15-9, 8-15, 15-
13.
Longwood went 1-2 in the
tourney defeating Ferrum 15-1,
15-1, and losing to Radford and
Liberty Baptist 15-3, 154 and 15-4,
16-14 respectively.
Earlier in the week the Lancers
split two matches with Chowan.
Longwood coach Sherry Will was
pleased with her team's efforts,
especially those of co-captains
Bonnie Lipscomb and Karen
Moye. "Bonnie played
outstanding, contributing with 9
spikes, 4 blocks and a successful
serving percentage of 92
percent," said Will. "Karen was
able to hold up the enthusiasm of
the team and showed leadership
ability. She made several key
blocks and was strong on
spiking."
Longwood's record is currently
6-17, but Coach Will is not
disappointed at all with the team.
"We are playing well and our
performance is improving," said
Will. "The girls have nothing to
be ashamed of." Tlie Lancers
record for the week was 2-3, but
one of those losses was a hard
fought battle against Liberty
Baptist in the playoffs of the
Cindy Smith Invitational.
The Lancers travel to
Bridgewater Tuesday (October
18) and compete at tourney
champion Liberty Baptist
Thursday of next week (October
27).

the good friends, they don't talk
golf much except when they
practice together. "If we don't
have a scheduled practice
sometimes we just go out on the
course ourselves. Sometimes
when we're out there," she grins,
"we talk about quitting school
and going south to open a pro

Quitting school is definitely not

MARKET BASKET
With the start of the fall semester at Longwood College, the
Economics Seminar class has resumed its surveys of local prices for
food, gasoline, and "trivia" items.
Food prices at the four major outlets in Farmville rose 2.35 per-
cent since the last market basket survey in May. The four stores
surveyed are the Big Star, Safeway and Winn-Dixie chains and the
independent food market, IGA.
Although food prices were up this month, the total cost of the 40-
item market basket in Sei^ember 1983 ($63.08) is 25 cents less than in
September 1982.
Market basket surveys in Northern Virginia, Richmond, and
Tidewater all show a small decline in food prices between August and
September. According to the Virginia Department of Labor and
Industry, this is a seasonal trend due to late sununer and fall harvests.
The department predicts, however, that "this summer's long
drought can be expected to force most food prices up in the coming
weeks." Dr. Anthony B. Cristo, director of the local market basket
study, agrees, saying that "local consumers can expect to see higher
prices for meats and grain products in the immediate months
ahead."
The local survey for September revealed a range of $13 between
the "high" and "low" baskets. If a consumer paid only the highest
prices found for the 40 items, the basket would cost $70.53. The total of
the lowest prices found for these items was $57.53.
"The moral of this spread," Dr. Cristo said, "Is that it pays to
shop around and to be knowledgeable regarding food specials and
price leaders offered by local merchants."
The Longwood students also surveyed changed in gasoline prices
at stations in the immediate Farmville area since May.
For those who are willing to pump their own gasoline, prices were
down for all brands of regular, unleaded, and premium unleaded. At
the full-service pumps, however, prices were up slightly for all brands
and types of gasoline.
The difference between full-service and self-service prices is
significant. Full-service prices are about eight cents a gallon higher
than self-serve for all types of gasoline.

It may have a story on the NCAA

Ijongwood has been treated
with an excellent small college

we support a losing football team

The Blues''?!
Why is it that at a growing college like Longwood, we can't even
put out a decent yearbook that supposedly represents the college and
its students, faculty and administration. We paid $9.00 for a wonderful
crossection of staff member and her buddies.
I flipped through the pages and found not one fraternity or sorority
composite, not one club or organization represented. No photo of our
present Miss Longwood. There were, however, over four photos of the
illustrious editor, herself.
I understand that Ms. Hughes had problems getting people to work
on the staff, in fact that seems to be her chief excuse for such a poor
book. It seems unless you worked or lived in Frazer, you weren't to
be seen.
The few truly interesting student life photos, such as the one of Joel
King on page 15, were taken by Steven Heinzman, which the editor
modestly took credit for, leaving Steven in the darkroom undeveloped.
There were even students who wrote to the Virginian staff, and asked -
that their photos not be published. The staff, in their arbitrary om-
niscience, chose to disregard those request.
There's talk that there'll be no yearbook next year, and with The
Blues of '83 I certainly understand. I could surely have found better
use for my $9.00 rather than the charitable donation to the Virginian.

Kings And Heroes
Since reading the September 27, 1983 issue of The Rotunda, I have
read MJA's article "bypasses" several times and have concluded I
must respond. It is one of the most bias, prejudicial articles I have
ever read.
The article implies King was some kind of a hero (a great knight in
shining armor). I suppose Attila the Hun, Hitler and Gudhafi are also
heros. During the "civil rights movement", everywhere King went
there was trouble. Records will show the troublemakers were King
and the outsiders he brought with him.
Some of our world leaders praised King for the "great work" he
was doing. John F. Kennedy was one of them. That is, as long as the
riots and trouble stayed in the South, everything was ok — but the
moment it moved North look what happened. Burnings, riots, deaths.
Even Boston, Mass., Kennedy's home grounds, raised more hell than
any city in the South when they were ordered to bus their children.
Another leader praising King was L.B. Johnson. He praised King
publicly for his efforts of desegregation and bringing about racial
equality, something Mr. Johnson knew nothing about. Mr. Johnson
had hundreds of acres of land belonging to Mexican Americans con-
demned in Texas so a LBJ National Park might be built. Could you
imagine King marching on the University of Texas, SMU, or Texas
A&M, colleges where segregation was practiced just like Mississippi,
Alabama, South Carolina and others? Could you imagine King
marching on West Point, Annapolis, Harvard or many of the other
Northern Colleges who knew more about descrimination and still
practice than anyone in the South?
King was a troublemaker from the very beginning. If an Indian,
Oriental, Caucasian or any other race tried such an act, they would
end up behind bars before they could get started. Study your history a
bit, MJA, and look what happened to the Indians when they tried what
King did.
Besides being the center of trouble spots there is strong evidence
King was affiliated with the Communist Party. Is this someone our
Country should honor?
I certainly hope you just needed something to fill space in The
Rotunda and I don't really believe any of that garbage. Perhaps you
should investigate further whep you are going to write about an in-
dividual.
YES INDEED, KING HAD A DREAM AND THE REST OF THIS
COUNTRY WERE VICTIMS OF A NIGHTMARE . . .
JOHN DUNCAN
Editor's Note: I no more believe that Martin Luther King was
affiliated with the communist party than I believe Ronald Reagan to
be, JD, although sometimes I'm not even sure about the old man. Also,
you're quite right — Attila the Hun is one of my favorite guys.
Peace, love, and pleasant dreams!

FEATURES
I. B, Dent: Profile
By JEFF ABERNATHY
In the guest books at I. B.
Dent's house, line after line of
drunken poetry lies between
sentimental remembrances
from the countless artists from
around the nation who have
performed at Longwood. Poets
and singers, actors and spies;
their writing is collected in six or
seven of these books which read
like a brutal mix of Hunter
Thompson and Ranger Rick.
Such a mix may aptly describe
I. B. Dent himself, in Thompson's
words "a monster reincarnation
of Horatio Alger, just sick enough
Director, the Student Union has
more than doubled the campus
activities which it presents.
Additions to the program include
Spotlight Concerts, Snack Bar
programs and Saturday Night
Alive. S-UN now presents three
live shows each week, including
mixers, gold room concerts, and
lectures.
A large factor contributing to
Dent's acceptance of his current
position was Longwood 's switch
to a co-educational institution in
1976. "I saw an exciting
opportunity to sort of
to be totally confident." Add the
element of Ranger Rick: the
cheesy mustache and curly,
brown hair create a friendly
atmosphere right away.
There is a constant sense of
lunacy-on-the-edge-of-reality in
talking with the LC Student
Activities Director, as if laughter
is a necessity to deal with life.
"Sometimes I get tired just
smiling," writes one of the
drunken poets.
A member of the longwood
faculty since 1970, Dent was a
Geography professor for six
years, teaching in part about the
geography of Africa, where he
spent two years with the Peace
Corps. His switch to Student
Activities in January of 1976 gave
him time to work with students on
a more personal basis. "I'm very
fond of the students," he noted in
an interview this week, "I like a
small school because you can get
much more personable; you can
build friendships much easier
than at a large university."
In the eight years in which Dent
has been Student Acitivities
'participate' at a time when
Longwood was going through
some major changes. I had been

thought that it'd be good to play a
role in an amazing transition
period. It was and still is."
Student Union members relate
to Dent in a manner which is
rarely seen within a faculty-stu-
dent relationship. Many
entertainers on
campus stay at Dent's house
where they meet Student Union
members after the evening's
performance. This gives Dent
and the students a unique
opportunity to hear the attitudes
of artists from across the U. S.
Often, a musician will pull out his
or her instrument and play with
students both singing along and
listening, or perhaps an actor
might share his experiences
backstage with the small group."
The endless entertaining
doesn't often visibly wear on
Dent, "If I had too much time
alone, I'd probably go batty," he
insists, "if I had to do this job like
I guess most people do it, I
wouldn't want the job. Not only
would I be missing, but the
students would be missing."
At the majority of colleges and
universities, performers aren't
given the opportunity to meet
one-on-one with students and
faculty. Longwood, however, is
well-known for its sociability, and
many artists sacrifice money to
entertain on the LC campus.
"Leaving Farmville is like
Carson going off the air," writes
Nina Kahle. To which singer
Michael Guthrie adds, "You
people are a vanishing breed."
I. B. Dent's personality plays a
large part in attracting
entertainers to Farmville. "My
personality, I'm sure, drives
some people away. You're not
going to be able to relate to all
kinds of people. Certain people
will like your method and others
won't, they'll consider it pushy,
or fake ... or something. It
doesn't really mean that it's right
or it's wrong — it's just mine,
and it works for me."
Though he sees some positive
element in today's college
student Dent notes some negative
changes in the past ten years. "I
see what I call a lot of 'snoopys'
— students dancing on top of the
doghouse when there's really a
people, then it's useful. If you
haven't done something with it as
you went along, there's no sense
in having it."
At 5'6" in elevator shoes. Dent
occasionally gets lost in the
shuffle of this bustling office.
Upcoming events, acts, and dates
are seemingly always in his
mind, and his energy is always
present, no matter how late the
previous evening's
entertainment.
At the end of the Oktoberfest
weekend, his schedule had taken
a toll. Late Sunday night, his
voice grainy and tired, Dent was
talking of the up-coming week.
The dates, performers, and
lot of important things going on.
The volunteer feeling is not as
high as it was a few years back ; I
guess money seems to be more
important today . . . going
through life just meaningful to
yourself, you don't get anything
out of it. It's worthless if you're
going to make a million dollars
for yourself; I don't see any
reason to. If you're going to make
a million dollars quote for 'good,'
whatever that means, assisting
people were still in his head as if
he was ready for Monday
morning. And of course, he would
be.
"That old line was 'you go
through this life but once,' and
therefore you should really make
use of every minute of it, every
minute of it in relating to other
people."
A page in one of the last guest
books I read was from Arne
Brav, "This is the only place
outside the confines of my house
that I feel I can not only relax but
be myself." And another from
Bill Pound, "We're all glad that
we could share our lives — our
music — with vou."

Physicist To Speak
Dr. Delmai- Bergen, a nuclear
physicist with the Los Alamos
National Laboratory in New
Mexico, will speak at Longwood
College on Thursday, October 27,
at 7:30 p.m. in Jeffers
Auditorium (adjoining the
Stevens Science Building).
The public is cordially invited
to hear Dr. Bergen discuss
"Technology and Future
Careers." A question-and-answer
session will follow the lecture.
Dr. Bergen has been associated
with the Los Alamos National
Laboratory for 25 years and is
currently Deputy Division
Leader of the Applied Physics
Division.
His work involves the design of
nuclear weapons, but in a recent
interview at Longwood he stated
his fervent hope that these
weapons will never be used and
stressed the necessity for
interaction with other countries
and "learning to care about
people and the overall quality of
life."
He is a native of Kansas where
he grew up on a farm. He holds
degrees from Greenville College
in Illinois, the University of
Kansas, and the Ph.D. in physics
and mathematics from the
University of New Mexico.
For 18 months in 1979-80, he
was special scientific adviser to
the Assistant to the Secretary of
Defense (Atomic Energy). He is
the author of papers and
unclassified reports published in
professional journals, as well as
numerous classified reports on
nuclear warheads for strategic
systems.
Dr. Bergen is a member of the

Scholarship
Service Offered
Today, furthering one's
education beyond the high school
level is a necessity. Yet, as the
demand for further schooling
increases, the costs are rocketing
sky high. It is a shame that a
person must consider costs above
the quality of a school when
making such a pertinent decision.
What is the solution — the
National Scholarship Service.
The NSS offers any individual
computer assisted scholarship
help. In a recent survey by the
American Legion's Education &
Scholarship Program, it is
estimated that over three billion
dollars in scholarships, loans,
and part time jobs is available
This is where the advantage of
using our service lies. Our
advanced computer can find
those means of financial aid for
which any student quahfies. Our
research is constantly being
uf)dated so that we leave no stone
unturned and can offer every
possible source to the individual.
The student will receive a
computerized report with the
sources of financial aid he
qualifies for. This depends on the
individual and in the specific
areas of his concentration. He
will also receive the name and
address of the source, its
monetary worth, and eligibility
characteristics.
The NSS guarantees to each
student a minimum of five
sources (and up to 25 sources if
available).
Students wishing for more
information should write to

THE ROTUNDA Page 7
Lancers Top 8th Ranked Blue Marlins
Longwood came up with a solid
performance Saturday afternoon
in defeating eighth ranked
Virginia Wesleyan 3-1 as the
Lancers begin to look more and
more like a team worthy of post-
season play.
Now 11-1-1, [.ongwood hosts
Roanoke Wednesday at 3:00 and
visits Eastern Mennonite
Saturday for a 2:00 contest.
Coach Rich Posipanko's team
never trailed in dispatching
Virginia Wesleyan, which came
into the game with a 10-3-1 record
and eighth place ranking in
Division III. Soph Clay Mullican
put Longwood ahead for good just
37 seconds into the contest when
he headed in a pass from Brian
AUmendinger.
Pint-sized Mark McArdle gave
Longwood a 2-0 edge with 10:50
elapsed with another header off a
rebound shot. After the Marlins
scored to close the gap at 42:26,
senior scoring leader Chris
Wilkerson shook loose on a break-
away and rifled the ball into the
net at 42:54 to take all the air
from Wesleyan's sails.
Posipanko picked goalie Rob
Liessem as Beegle's Player of the
Week for his performance in the
contest. Liessem had a total of 11
saves and came up with several
crucial plays in the contest.
Saturday's win gives Pospinko a
50-26-6 career mark.
Three Lancers were knocked
out of action in the roughly-
played contest. Mark McArdle
suffered a split lip, back Scott
Thoden sprained his knee and
forward Johnathan Kennen
suffered an apparently serious
injury to his left knee.
With the win, Longwood moved
into solid contention for the wild-
card berth in the Virginia
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association Playoffs. Randolph-
Macon, Eastern Mennonite and
Virginia Wesleyan have clinched
berths in the VISA Playoffs
leaving one spot open.

Field Hockey
Hosts Spiders
Longwood's field hockey team,
now 7-3-3 after a 4-2 loss to
Appalachian State Saturday
morning, visits High Point
Wednesday and hosts Richmond
next Monday ( Octrober 31 ) as the
regular season heads toward its
conclusion.
The l>ady Lancers got goals
from Sue Groff and Pam
Esworthy against the
Mountiiineers Saturday but fell to
a second half Appalachian St.
rally. The Apps broke a 1-1
halftime tie with three goals for a
4-1 edge before Esworthy closed
the gap near the end of the game.
Long wood coach Bette Harris
was disappointed in the outcome
of the game.
"I felt that we were capable of
winning the game," said the
coach. "We made some defensive
errors that helped Appalachian
score."
With four games left on the
schedule, Longwood could finish
with its best field hockey record
since 1977 when the Lady Lancers
ended up 11-6-2. The 1980 squad
rang up an 11-7 mark while
competing in Division 1.
Harris praised freshman
Hilary Silvera for her play on
defense in Saturday's defeat.
Silvera had "a good defensive
effort" and "made some critical
saves" against Appalachian
State, said the coach.
The Longwood coach said that
starting goalie Terry Chumley,
who is out of action with a broken
wrist, might be able to play next
week for home games with
Richmond (Monday), Virghinia
Commonwealth (Wednesday)
and at James Madison
(Thursday). Chumley will not be
able to play in this week's game
at High Point, however.
The tilt at James Madison was
to have been played Tuesday, but
was moved to Nov. 3.

College Presidents Report
By JEFF ABERNATHY
The cost to each student of a
diploma from Ix)ngwood and
other state colleges in Virginia
has increased an average of 75.6
percent in the past four years
according to a report from
Virginia's State College and
university presidents.
This trend is due to a decrease
of state funds being aloted to
higher education the presidents
.said in a fifteen page report on
the financial status of their
institutions. State monies for
higher education have decreased
eight percent in ten years; from
55 percent of the total cost of a
four-year education in 1973 to a
projected 47 percent next year.
Only seventeen states nationwide
charge their citizens more for a
public education, the presidents
indicated.
The statement was released to
the public Thursday in an effort
to make Virginia's citizens more
aware of the situation now facing
the Commonwealth. The report
stated that "a deterioration of the
quality of our academic
programs will sorely result from
continued erosions in State
support, and the future of
literally thousands of Virginians
will be jeopardized,"
The report expressed dismay
with the budget plans of
Governor Charles Robb,
claiming current funding is
neither adequate for present
needs or for future ones:
"Virginia colleges and
universities are faced with a
crisis — a crisis provoked by a
continuing decline in an already
inadequate level of fiscal
support."
Robb has ordered budget
reductions three times in the past
two years in addition to a state
hiring freeze ordered early last
year. 950 college and university
jobs have been eliminated.
In the midst of the freeze and
budget cuts, the number of
applications to State colleges and
universities rose sixteen percent
between 1978 and 1972. The
number of admissions
applications to Longwood was the
largest ever for the current
semester.
The president's report did not,
however, propose where the
needed funds would come from.
It avoided any discussion of tax
increases or bond issues which
have been proposed in the past.
Governor Robb's Secretary of
Education, John Casteen, pointed
out Wednesday that if the
presidents want more money for
their institutions they should
come up with a proposal
indicating where the needed
funds could come from.
Though Thursday's report is
likely to ignite some tax increase
proposals in Richmond,
Chairman of the Council of
Presidents Donald Dedmon of
Radford University, said the
State would be better off to
reexamine its spending priorities
before examining the possibility
of a tax increase for higher
education.

Market Basket
Local Food Prices Drop Sharply
Area food buyers found a
number of good bargains at local
food stores in October. The total
cost of the Farmville market
basket dropped a surprising 1.76
The October market basket
cost $61.97, as compared to $63.08
for the September basket.
The cost of the market baskets
in Richmond and Northern
Virginia increased slightly this
month, and both were higher than
the Farmville basket. The
Tidewater area basket showed a
very slight decrease and cost
$1.42 less than the local basket.
This month's Farmville food
basket is priced 2.15 percent less
than a year ago. The cost of the
same basket in October 1982 was
$63.33.
Dr. Anthony B. Cristo, director
of the local market basket study,
cautions that October's good
news "should be enjoyed, for food
prices in general are expected to
rise noticeably in the months
ahead."
The difference between the
"high" and "low" baskets this
month was $11.91. The total of the
highest prices found for each of
the 40 items was $68.32; the total
of the lowest prices found was
$56.41.
The Trivia Basket survey
(nonfood items purchased by
most consumers) was taken for
the first time since April. The
total cost of the 30-item Trivia
Basket has increased 3.94 percent
since April, due primarily to
sizeable increases in the cost of
cigarettes, beer, notebook paper,
Alpo and 9-Lives pet foods, Bayer
aspirin. Windex window cleaner,
Downy fabric softener, Kodak
film, and the news-stand price of
The Reader's Digest.
All of these studies are projects
of the Economics Seminar class
at Longwood College and are
directed by Dr. Cristo.

Review:
CHIP FRANKLIN
ByJEFFABERNATHY
"When I was in College my
Inotto was if I wasn't wasted,
then the day was!"
Chip Franklin assailed
Longwood Saturday night with a
comical and musical
performance which was
entertaining, somewhat
intellectual, and refreshingly
insane.
The show began with a twenty-
minute comedy routine which
was fragmented with raging on
the latecomers ("You guys late
— do you have a pass?"). He
spoke on his affection for modem
economical wonders like K-Mart,
"Why is it that mothers bring
their children to K-Mart to beat
them?", and his favorite postage
stamp commenorating the first
P.A.P. test.
The evening's first song was
"Hip Survivors", a cut from
Franklin's forthcoming album,
Tragically Hip. The space-echoe
which he uses on his vocals along
with his electric guitar work gave
the song a fast-paced, new-wave
bend which the audience wasn't
quite ready for but received well.
"Damn, This Traffic Jam" had
a blue-sy beat to it, and Franklin
easily pulled his audience into it
to sing a few bars.
"That's Why I Hate the Beach
Boys," also on Tragically Hip,
was the first set's best song:
"The jocks always got the
California girls; that's why I hate
the Beach Boys!" His impression
of Elvis — "the way he is" — was
hillarious.
Memoirs of his childhood
school life: "I went to some tough
Catholic schools, like Our Lady of
Charles Manson. The niins are
just like Seven Up — never had it,
never will."
The second set opened with
"Missing" and "Night Train,"
the latter of which was the
evening's strongest song. The
lyrics were haunting between the
fast, rolling chords.
Both "Missiles in Europe" and
Franklin's version of Warren -
Zevon's "Werewolfs in London"
had strong political statements.
Something about Jerry Falwell
and Jesse Helms in a Capitol Hill
bathroom, I beheve.
The title cut from the album,
which will be released on A and R
records, was madness. Donning
his mohawk and armed with a toy
chainsaw, Franklin danced
through the audience while the
"band" (a pre-recorded
background) played. On the
album, vocals will be done by Jon
Carroll and Margot Kunkel, both
formerly of the Starland Vocal
Band.
The Student Union presented
another good show for a large
crowd of about one hundred
jog your mind
run
library
students. Franklin also
performed Sunday night for a
somewhat smaller group. I
wouldn't be surprised at all to
hear some of the music played
Saturday night reverberating
around Longwood's campus a
few months down the line.

Congratulations Longwood.
We've finally done it. After I
heard about last week's bombing
in Beirut, I walked over campus
— and I saw not a single Lancer
marching in the streets. Not one
of us carried a banner that read
"Bring Our Boys Homes," or
"Make Love Not War," and not
one chorus joined together in
"Give Peace A Chance." In fact,
not a single student dared
to wear a "Nuke Those Lousy
I^banese" button. Once again
Longwood, in the never-ending
dynamic world, we've chosen to ,
remain unheard.
And I hear you're unhappy with
the dining hall. The food, the
hours, and the gripes never end.
But with much planned effort,
surely we've managed to let the
dining hall committee of the SGA
go impotent and inactive, "due to
lack of interest".
And the judicial board this
year, originally to be chosen from
the students in a formal election,
ended up being hand-picked by
our SGA, because there weren't
enough applicants to constitute
an election.
In the last Student Government
election, less than five percent of
Longwood's students voted.
It's taken years and years of
practice, and we've finally done
it — we're completely,
complacently and incredibly
lukewarm. The sleepy dragon,
right? We've become so
controlled, so cool and collected
that nothing can move us. No
sireebob!
Last year the administration -
initiated a new-fangled $100
damage deposit fee that's been
collected from every student. For
those who aren't math majors.
that's over $200,000 in damage
deposit monies. What's being
done with the incredible 9-10
percent interest that could be
drawn on that money in a single
year? Who knows. No waves.
Don't rock the boat — pay your
bills and never question why. Sh-
h. Quiet.
And the Student Union puts on
lots of concerts — those horribly
boring top name performers,
ballets (Yuk!) — things we'd
rather go to Vegas, or New York
and pay $30 to see. We resist with
all our might — and keep the
attendance down to a maximum
of eight percent. Just last month,
Longwood presented a world
premier play — Chester's — or
Esper's something or other. And
we slacked up a little guys — a
little over 10 percent showed up.
What's happening? Dissent in the
ranks?
And did you know — the
Virginian yearbook is about to
fold — only 200 of us bought one —
and they just can't stand it any
longer. Yipee!
And even here at the
newspaper — mum's the word.
There's news everywhere — but
everyone's keeping quiet.
Damned reporters. All they want
is a story. Who the hell wants to
hear about blood and guts in
Lebanon. We want to know where
the next keg of beer is!
Yep — celebrate — next
Tuesday's election day, the SGA
is looking for people to run in its
election the 14th. Slater still
serves liver, the USA has invaded
Grenada, Lebanon is still a
mystery — does anybody know
who's running in '84? How old do
you have to be to register?

Letter To The Editor
* * * *
Outraged
I am writing in response to a
letter written by John Duncan
regarding Martin Luther King.
I found myself completely
outraged by the contents of this
letter. The only word, which I can
use in print, to describe his
position is ignorant. I realize that
this word is inadequate, because
it connotes a sense of innocence
which I found totally lacking in
his letter. His statements consist
of untruths, half-truths, and
malicious slander.
First, it is untrue that the Uni-
versity of Texas was segregated
in the late 1960's. Although the
number of black students was
relatively small ( 1500 out of about
50,000), it was an integrated
university. It is untrue that only
Indians or orientals would end up
behind bars for civil rights
activities. Mr. Duncan
conveniently forgets that Dr.
King was jailed many times for
his activities.
Second, the accuracy of the
characterization of Dr. King as a
troublemaker really depends on
your point of view. The English
considered Henry, Washington,
and Jefferson to be troublemak-
ers. The Southerners considered
Lincoln to be a troublemaker.
Gandhi was so characterized by
British colonialists. Sadat, more
recently, by Arab extremists. So
if King was a troublemaker, he is
in good company.
Third, ignorance is no excuse
for comparing King to Hitler, etc.
While Dr. King's work in civil
rights is well known, we should
not forget his emphasis on non-
violence and his opposition to
war. His dream included a vision
of not only a time when black and
white children would play
together in the red clay of
Georgia, but also a time when
young men would not die on
foreign shores. Putting a man
who stood for justice and peace in
a category with men who
committed outrageous acts of
violence is a purposefully
malicious slander. Furthermore,
there is not a shred of evidence to
support the statement that King
was affiliated with the
Communist Party. Given
Hoover's hatred for King, he
would certainly have used any
suggestion of Communist
affiliation to discredit King.
Shame on you.
I encourage all of you to follow
Mr. Duncan's suggestion to MJA
and read up on your history. I
recommend a reading of
Goebber's writings on the
believability of the "big lie,"
followed by a review of McCarthy
smear tactics which he used so
successfully in his rise to power.
We must indeed know our history
to prevent the re-occurrence of
past nightmares.

Letter To The Editor: ^Blues^ Rebuttal
Dear Editor:
In Jerry Dagenhart's and Sheri
Fitzsimmon's recent letter to the
Rotunda, I found many
comments that were made in
ignorance, not fact.
First I'd Uke for everyone to
know that Mr. Dagenhart
volunteered his services to the
Virginian staff last year. He
wanted to cover organizations
and clubs. He never showed up.
Like others his was an empty
offer. And now he finds the nerve
to complain?
The Virginian would like to
apologize to Steven Heinzman
and those students that didn't
want their photos in the
yearbook. To begin with if anyone
is curious and has access to a
yearbook, check page 15. 1 didn't
see my name listed as the
photographer for that photo. The
fact that it didn't have Steven's
name was due to not knowing it.
Secondly as to the students
mentioned we never received
your requests from the
photographers. It was their
oversight not ours.
As to the statement of Mr.
Dagenhart and Ms. Fitzsimmons
that there were over four photos
of myself, they were right! One
was of me with a hat on and my
hand over my face, one was a
nice shot of the back of my head.
They counted my student photo
editor photo and begrudge me
one that I liked.
Forgive me for I have sinned.
I sincerely hope that the
majority of you enjoyed the last
edition of The Virginian. I know
many that did. It's a real shame
Mr. Dagenhart and Ms.
Fitzsimmons expect me to be
perfect as they project
themselves to be.

GUEST EDITORIAL
The Reaper^s Pissed
I slept in till 2:00 again this Saturday. People had been knocking
on my door intermittently for a couple of hours. I didn't care. When I
finally read my message pad I saw that one of the notes was from my
old girlfriend, Barbara. I didn't care. I walked over to Par-Bil's to get
a coke and some cigarettes and on the way back I saw Barbara. She
said, "Remember Kathy's boyfriend who was in the Marines?"
"Yeah." "He was killed in Beirut." My initial thought was "I don't
care."
I've always prided myself on my apathy, especially on things like
politics and war. I like to think that the only war I'd be willing to fight
in would be started by an invasion of our coast. The thing is I really do
care. The editor, Johnel, once wanted to write an editorial on Lebanon,
I said, "Who at Longwood really cares?" This was different though, I
knew him. I can't even remember his name, Mark something or other.
The point is I knew him, I liked him and now he's dead. There are other
people at Longwood who know some Marines boyfriends, friends
and brothers. Some of these poople now have dead boyfriends, freinds
and brothers. They are probably having difficulty understanding why
God or the Grim Reaper took them so early. And Lebanon has become
a reality for them.
Ironically, I went to a Halloween costume party Saturday night as
the Grim Reaper. After wearing the garb, I have developed what may
bo a perverted affinity for Death. He's really not a bad guy. He usually
takes people when their time comes. Once in a while a little kid will go
because he swallowed some poison or got hit by a car. These are ac-
cidents. Mark's situation is different. One person or a group of people
sent another person to his death. For what? I'm sure the Reaper is
pissed. All these untimely deaths screw up his schedule and his in-
ventory. He can understand when someone dies in an accident or for a
purpose. But to him pointless wars and murder amount to the same
damn thing.
So now Mark is dead. I hope he knew what he was getting himself
into. He wasn't a gung-ho "kill them Commies" Marine. He thought it
was a good way to get some bucks and learn a trade. Mark only had a
few more months to go before he got out and then he was going to look
for a nice civilian job. But now he can't. He's dead.

PRESS SERVICE
By BILL MOORE
Student Development
Educator.
Now that's what I call a catchy
title — or, depending on your
point of view, you could call it
false advertising. Because the
reality is that "no risk" career.
Since I've only recently joined
the Longwood staff and have a
career planning and placement
background, I'd like to take this
opportunity to let you get to know
me better as I share a few of my
thoughts on this pressing subject.
First, THERE ARE NO
GUARANTEES because there is
competition in every field, even
those fields experts label as
"open". With 50 per cent of 18-
year-olds going to college these
days (up from 10 per cent in the
1950's) the supply of college
graduates continues to outstrip
the demand — except in specific,
high-demand areas.
Second, today's popular, open
field can easily become
tomorrow's overcrowded one if
everyone rushes into it. Look at
teaching — in the mid to late 60's
the word was thre was not enough
teachers. Now? Ask any
education major. Engineering
has gone through the same kind
of swing in reverse,and may be
swinging back. Law schools are
bursting and in many urban
areas the number of lawyers is
staggering. Business and
computer science have become
the majors across the country,
(computer science enrolhnents
are up 500 per cent over the last
decade) yet there is no way the
work force can absorb that many
people into those areas ( witness,
for example, the current slump in
the video game-personal
computer field).
One conclusion to be drawn at
this point is that the process of
making career decisions implies
risk, at least in the sense of our
acting on incomplete and
sometimes inaccurate
information and not being
completely sure about what lies
at the end of the tunnel. Yes, we
take risks in these decisions, but
at the risk of soiuiding cliched,
isn't that what life is all about?
Risk-taking is an integral part of
our daily lives, like it or not. Like
it or not we need to be able to take
risks — and our career decisions
are no exception.

By KENT BOOTY
Dr. Vivian Gordon Howard has always been a
pace-setter.
During her childhood on Virginia's Northern
Neck, she was taught at home by her mother and
"only went to the elementary school to see if the
other kids had caught up with me." She was an
honor graduate of Virginia State University, editor-
in-chief of VSU's first yearbook and charter
president of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society in
education. Later, while completing her doctorate at
the University of Virginia, she became the first
black graduate student assigned to classroom
teaching.
And, today, Dr. Howard, a professor of
mathematics at VSU, is involved in the first "other-
race" faculty exchange of state colleges and
universities in Virginia.
Under the Commonwealth Faculty Exchange
Program, Dr. Howard is teaching at Longwood
College during the 1983-84 academic year and Dr.
Carol Altizer-Tuning, an associate professor of
mathematics at Longwood, is teaching at VSU.
Three other faculty members in state institutions
are taking part in the program, which encourages
exchanges between traditionally black and
traditionally white campuses. The program is
administered by the State Council of Higher
Education under the direction of the Secretary of
Education.
"It's been quite interesting; a learning ex-
perience," Dr. Howard said recently.
Dr. Howard is teaching four courses in the
department of mathematics and computer science.
She thinks the program will foster closer ties bet-
ween faculty of different institutions.
"Atleast we'll find out about each other," she
predicted. "I don't think we know anything about
each other. We're isolated. I think there are some
linkages that can be made. Possibly faculty from
Virginia State can come here for short visits and
talk with black students."
A member of the VSU faculty since 1968, she
wrote the graduate mathematics education
program. Among other professional activities, she
chairs the biennial Statewide Conference for Gifted
and Graduate Potential Minority Students in State-
Supported Institutions of Higher Education. She has
been a consultant to the National Institutes of
Education, the State Department of Education, and
other organizations.

Market Basket: More Than A Survey
By JOHNEL D. BROWN
A group of twelve juniors and
seniors, under the direction of Dr.
A. Cristo, are giving new
meaning to practical field
experience in their Economics
Seminar class.
The class conducts the only
student researched market
basket survey in the state of
Virginia. The group is led by
chairman, Mike Ellis, and
assistant chairman, Keith
Hamlett.
The Market Basket Survey is
conducted once a month, and
requires the students to go to the
three major chain grocery stores,
and the one independent grocer,
and compile the prices of 71 food
items. The items used for the
survey are in accordance with
the same 71 standard items that The survey informs the
are used by the only other market townspeople of how the pnces m
basket survey in the state,
conducted by a professional
research group.
The group's work was
highlighted in a Richmond News
leader article, recognizing them
as the only student research team
doing market basket surveys,
working to adhere to professional
standards.
Dr. Cristo recently nominated
the group for an award that
would enable the group to do
more involved studies, and would
absorb some of the expense of the
research that so far has been
covered by the students.
Farmville compare to those
statewide. The study can
speculate on the overall cost of
living, as seen in food prices, and
even "evaluate why prices
generally dropped or went up,"
according to Ellis.
"Dr. Cristo has put a lot of
emphasis on learning and having
responsibility," said Hamlett.
Cristo pushes the group for
accuracy and professionalism.
"He'd drop the program
immediately if we started getting
slack," said Ellis.
The group is also responsible
for the Trivia Basket survey, the
only trivia basket done in the
state. They survey things like
beer, cigarettes, toilet paper,
panty hose, and other popular
consumer goods.
Radioactive Termites
(CPS) -
The biology department of the
University of Maryland-
Baltimore County (UMBO has a
gnawing problem: termites are
eating up low-level radioactive
waste m a disposal area in the
biology building. Some officials
fear the radioactive termites
could spread low-level radiation
across the campus.
We've rectified the problems
by having exterminators in,"
contends Phil Martin, who is in
charge of the biology stockroom.
Others aren't so sure. "We
believe we caught the incident in
time," says George Arman, who
is radiation safety officer of a
sister campus — the University
of Maryland at Baltimore
(UMAB) — and who discovered
the storage problem. "But we are
still nervous. We can't afford to
go back and decontaminate the
whole building."
"All you need is for one queen
to get away," he points out.
"They lay eggs by the
thousands."
Arman minimizes the danger
to human life posed by the
radioactive bugs, though he notes
extra exposure to even low-level
radiation is never good.
Moreover, he's fearful that
other parts of the campus may
already be infested. He's es-
pecially worried about bugs in
and around chemistry labs where
carcinogenic waste material is
stored.
Campuses have been plagued
by an ongoing series of mishaps
involving low-level radioactive
waste generated in biology,
chemistry and medicine
departments.
Most recently. University of
California-Santa Barbara
discovered radioactive material
spilled in a biology department
hall and elevator.
The University of Chicago
recently began a clean-up of low-
level radioactive waste deposited
during the 1940s, when scientists
there were performing
pioneering atomic research.
West Virginia University,
moreover, ran out of storage
space in August for radioactive
waste generated by its medical
center.
The problem is "basically a
nuisance rather than a hazard,"
says Stephen Slack of WVU's
University Hospital.
"It's a nuisance more than
anything" agrees Frank
Gallagher, Cal-Santa Barbara's
radiation safety officer.
Nut only at UCLA — where a
group is concerned that radiation
from a small campus reactor
may be contaminating the air
and water in a nearby classroom
— and at UMBC are there
worries about anything more
than localized radiation spills.
Arman discovered the problem
the first week of October, when
he went to pick up the waste at
UMBC and transport it back to a
permanent waste disposal site.
"It was terrible," he recalls.
"We opened the door and found
there were bugs all over the
place. And not just termites, but
centipedes and spiders and all
kinds of insects."
He found the bugs had chewed
through the bright orange plastic
bags and cardboard boxes to feed
on the waste inside.
"That isn't good news," he
says. "If the bags are damaged,
the radioactive material may
contaminate the area, and
whatever (the bugs) eat of the
waste can be carried through the
building."
Arman says he hopes to
convince UMBC to renovate its
temporary waste storage facility
soon. 'You can't just throw (the
waste) in a room and close the
door. You must have some
system to control the lighting and
humidity. The boxes should be set
on pallets."
Swimming Requirement
Does It Hold Water?
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
It takes more than completing all of your major
and minor requirements to graduate from
Longwood. A would-be graduate must also
"demonstrate swimming proficiency" in order to
get a diploma. Tlie swimming requirement has been
the source of many questions and protest.
"Minimal swimming skills" according to Cindy
Peake, Aquatics Director, means that a student
must be able to do the front, back, side, and breast
strokes, and tread water. "We feel those skills are
important to survival," according to Judy Johnson,
Chairman of the Health, Physical Education and
Recreation Department. "With 73 percent of the
earth's surface covered with water, much of our
leisure time activities involve water," said Peake,
"and the requirement is two fold, one is that you
may have to save your own life, and two, perhaps
someone else's." According to the American
National Red Cross, out of 7300 drownings, 4800
were nonswimmer fatalities.
The Department constantly evaluates its
requirements, and the swimming requirement, in
particular, was examined by the department in
1972, and ironically, Johnson was the only member
who voted against it. Later, in 1979, the requirement
was brought back up for evaluation, and it was
passed again, this time with Johnson's vote.
Student's who need to waive the requirement,
can do so for only health reasons. And even those
cases are investigated individually. Johnson em-
phasized that handicapped and blind students have
been taught to swim, and that health problems are
not always qualification for exemption. Have any
students been exempt from the requirement for
reasons other than those of health risks? "Truth-
fully, yes. But that didn't come through this
department," explained Johnson.
Why the ability to tread water and do the "four
strokes" was so important that it be a graduation
requirement was never really clear. "It probably
has nothing to do with what you're going on to do as
a career," said Johnson, "But I feel we have a
responsibility to give basic foundation skills."
There are only an average of 60 nonswimmers
each year, and both Peake and Johnson indicated
what a "joy" it was to teach the beginners, and
watch them progress and learn to enjoy water.
"We're not trying to be hard to get along with, it's
just something we believe is important," em-
phasized Johnson. As far as the requirement
keeping students from the graduation ceremony,
Peake said, "I will stay there until the day of
graduation helping them, and I have."

Longwood Players
The Longwood Players and
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts have begun
preparations for their next major
production of the year, The
Imaginary Invalid, by Moliere.
The script of this play has been
revised for the Jarman
production scheduled November
16 through 19th. The music for
Imaginary Invalid was written
by Charpentier for the original
cast in Paris 1673 and has been
arranged by Dr. John Molnar. It
will be performed by Longwood
musicians under the direction of
Mr. Darrell Harbaum.
The cast of twelve combines
the talents of four Freshmen,
three Sophomores, four Juniors
and one Senior. The Freshmen
include Rob Robertson, who
plays the central role of Argan;
Jamila Smith, as the pert French
maid, Toinette; Linda Stanley, as
Argan's nine year old daughter,
Louison; and Anastasia
McDonald, as Argan's lovesick 17
year old daughter, Angelique.
The Sophomores include Mike
Foster, as M. Bonnefoi, David
Turk, as M. Fleurant, and Jerry
Dagenhart as Argan's brother,
Beralde. The Juniors are Connie
Watkins as Beline, Curt Walker,
who plays M. Diafoirus, a
wealthy doctor, and Vince
Decker, as Cleante, a young man.
The Senior is Mark Winecoff , who
plays Argan's physician, Dr.
Purgon.
FYI
Work on the set has already
begun. Mr. Moffatt Evans has
designed a set reflecting the age
of Louis XrV. Costumes are
designed by Jerry Dagenhart.
Betsy Duncan is coaching and
providing rehearsal
accompaniment for the lover's
duet, and the choruses, roared by
the cast in the finale.
Dr. Patton Lockwood is
directing the play, Leon Young is
serving as the stage manager. If
the laughter that is being heard
at rehearsals is any indication,
The Imaginary Invalid should be
a smash. The play makes a nice
contrast to the complex Espers
Well which opened the Longwood
Players' season.

RESEARCH STUDY
Smoking is one of the risk factors associated with
coronary heart disease. The level of HDL
cholesterol in the blood is affected by smoking and
the cessation of smoking presumably results in a
return to normal levels. What is not clear is: When
does the HDL cholesterol reach its normal level
once a person has stopped smoking? In this study
we will investigate HDL cholesterol levels at dif-
ferent intervals during a six-week no smoking
period.
If you wish or need to stop smoking or if you have
a friend who would like to stop, we would appreciate
your participation in our study, "The Effect of
Cessation of Smoking on HDL Cholesterol." Please
contact either Dr. Mary Heintz or Dr. Gerald
Graham or fill in the attached form and send it to
one of us at Longwood College. This study is made
possible through a faculty research grant from
Longwood College.

What is the response to this
situation? To many students and
educators, the response is a mad
dash to vocational training and
more clearly career-related
college majors. And for some, I
am sure that is a wise choice. But
the choice may be shortsighted
for many people, and they seem
to be making this choice for all
the wrong reasons. To me, the
choice should be on the basis of
what you enjoy and do well and
not what seems to be the
"logical" choice based on job
market trends. (Remember what
I said about what can happen to
those trends?)
An alternative response is to
get a broad liberal arts education
and concentrate in an area which
you find most interesting. But
what about getting a job, you
say? Well, a mid-1970's study
revealed that 80 per cent of a -
sample of fathers of college-
bound students aren't doing
ANYTHING connected with their
college majors. And they
overwhelmingly said the best bet
for a satisfying life is getting an
education regardless of what the
major is. Other studies show that
liberal arts graduates,
specifically, seem more satisfied
with their lives — and often are
better paid once they survive the
credentialism problems in entry-
level jobs.
Let's face it — specific job
skills are much more often than
not taught on-the-job, not in the
classroom. What you need from
an education, especially
"higher" education, as college is
so nobly called, is confrontation
with yourself and your values,
the ability to THINK
independently and problem-
solve, the ability to communicate
effectively, both in oral and
written form, and opportunities
to lead and cope with change.
These are the skills found to be
most significant in studies done
on successful people, and not so
coincidentally, the skills
embodied in the 14 student
achievement goals Longwood has
defined. You certainly have to
judge for yourself the extent to
which you are, in fact, developing
in these areas, but it seems to me
that the opportunity does exist
here at Longwood; it's up to you
to take advantage of it.
This is NOT to say that a liberal
arts major is inherently more
functional in the world of work
and careers. A Wester College
Placement Association survey
reveals a strong bias against
liberal arts grads in some work
sectors, most notable finance,
manufacturing, oil companies,
and electronics-communications,
at least in terms of the number of
recent hires of college graduates.
However, the insurance, the
utilities, and retail areas all hire
about the same number of liberal
arts grads as business grads, and
in government, which remains
the largest sector of the work
force, the majority of hires are
liberal arts grads. So while there
may be a period of "floundering"
in the early post-graduation
years for liberal arts grads, there
are job possibilities, nonetheless,
and the long-term benefits of
flexibility and overall
satisfaction may be worth the
early problems.
The implications of the
research mentioned earlier is
that the skills cited, not the
specific major, are the crucial
concerns. It makes considerable
sense to try to blend liberal arts
with more technical training, but
whatever direction you go, the
skills need to be on your mind.
Take some time to think through
what YOU really want, and if you
need to discuss the issues with
someone there are plenty of
willing people around — Niki
Fallis and Linda Dove in the
Placement Office, J. Cox and
Anne Barlow in the Counseling
Center, your advisor — all ready
to help you clarify what you want
out of your time here at
Longwood and your career. Your
senior year may be too late to
being that, too — why not start
now?
Dr. Howard grew up in Richmond County, a few
miles outside of Warsaw, during the era of
segregated schools. Education in her rural com-
munity was a family affair — her grandfather
donated land for the elementary school, her father
donated lumber and her mother later taught there.
But she attended that school ver little.
"My mother taught me at home," she recalled.
"She had been educated in a Richmond (city)
normal school and was the intellectual of the
conmi unity."
She did attend the local high school, which was
located in a building that previously had been the
Northern Neck Industrial Academy, a boarding
school for blacks who had finished the 7th grade.
Her graduating class numbered 11.
"Six of us went on to college," she said. "Five of
us went to Virginia State and all five of us finished.
Two of us have the doctorate ... I still keep in touch
with those classmates."
Although the school's physical facilities were
inadequate by today's standards, according to Dr.
Howard, the quality of teaching was top-notch.
"I had excellent teachers," she said. "They were
the finest teachers that I've seen anyplace. I
haven't found any better anywhere."
It was at VSU, then called the Virginia State
College for Negroes, that she met her late husband.
Dr. Roscoe C. Howard. Professor Howard headed
VSU's biology department. "I didn't have him for a
teacher, but all of my friends did."
One professor she did have was the late Luther
Porter Jackson, a famous black historian and
author. Jackson, a prolific writer and researcher,
conducted research into black history long before it
gained popularity.
"Luther P. JacKson taught me," she said with
pride. "We would wait all morning is he forgot to
come to class. He was a great teacher; everybody
loved him. He was ahead of his time."
Among Dr. Howard's diverse interests and areas
of expertise are the metric system, computer
science, education of handicapped and gifted
students, and training programs to upgrade
mathematics teachers.
Dr. Howard's three children have emulated her
accomplishments. Her daughter, who once worked
for President Carter, is legal counsel to the
president of Hunter College in New York. One son is
a lawyer for the Federal Trade Commission, and
the other is a news broadcaster and sports director
for a Tallahassee, Fla., radio station.
Dr. Howard said that she is much like her
mother, who always demanded that her children be
treated with dignity. "She never would take a back-
seat to anyone. She always said if they won't let you
sit in the front of the bus, don't ride it."
NOTE: Under the Commonwealth Faculty
Exchange Program, Dr. Robert Solomon, an
associate professor of management at the College of
William and Mary, and Dr. Richard O'Daniel, an
associate professor of business at Norfolk State
University, have also exchanged positions this year.
In addition, Dr. Qementine Hansley, an assistant
professor of psychology at VSU, is teaching at
Radford University. The five were chosen from 73
applicants. Fifteen faculty members are expected
to participate in 1984-85 and 15 again in 1985-86.

losing. The eight-game unbeaten
streak is a new school record,
breaking the old mark of seven
set in 1981. The lancers have also
run up a streak of 16 straight
games in which they have not
been shut-out.
Senior forward Tim Brennan
scored two goals for Longwood
last week, one in the win over
Roanoke and the other in
Saturday's tie with Eastern
Mennonite. The college's second
leading career scorer with 35
goals and 10 assists.
Also scoring for Longwood in
the win over Roanoke were
Shawn McArdle and Sam St.
Phard. McArdle, Dan Dubnis and
Brian Allmendinger had assists
in the two games.
Longwood also earned its
seventh shutout of the season

Wednesday to run its season
record to 8-3-3 and the Lady
Lancers close out their season
this week, hosting Richmond
Monday at 3:00 and VCU
Wednesday at 3:00.
Sue Groff scored two goals and
Sharon Bruce one as Coach Bette
Harris' team notched its fifth
shutout of the season. Sophomore
Lorraine Hall filled in admirably

Chumley, who suffered a
broken wrist in a game with
Eastern Kentucky two weeks
ago, may be able to play this
week with a flexible cast.
Should Longwood win its final
two games, the Lady Lancers
would finish with a 10-3-3 mark,
best in field hockey since 1976
when the stickers went 124-3.
"We will have to play very well
to win these last two games,"
said Dr. Harris. "It would be nice
to finish the season with two more
victories."
The coach said she has been
pleased with the performance of
her team, looking back on the
season as a whole.
"On the whole, we have played
well, and we have gotten some
big contributions from our
freshmen."
Sue Groff has been singled out
as Beegle's Player of the Week
after scoring two goals in the win
over High Point. Groff, a
sophomore, has eight goals and
six assists for the season to lead
Longwood's offensive attack.

Men's Basketball
Outlook
From Sports Info
Despite a decided lack of
experience and size on his 1983-84
basketball team, Longwood
coach Cal Luther says he is
excited about this year's squad.
Gone from last year's 15-10
season are starling guards Joe
Remar and Mike Testa and
center Ron Orr. Remar and Orr
were four-year starters and rank
1-2 among Lancer career scoring
leaders. Testa was a hard-nosed
competitor and team leader.
"You've heard of rebuilding
years," says Luther, "well, we're
havint^ a reconstruction year.
We're going to be a very young
and inexperienced team. In
comparison with our opposition
we'll be very small. Our tallest
player is only 6-7."
On the positive side, longwood
returns two starters: senior Ail-
American Jerome (THE CO-
BRA i Kersey and sophomore
forward Lonnie I>ewis. Kersey, a
6-7, 220-pounder, is one of the top
players in Division II with 1,228
points and 779 rebounds in three
seasons. I^ewis broke into last
year's starting lineup in January
and averaged 10.4 points per
contest, while establishing
himself as a deadly long range
shooter.
The only additional returnee
with moderate game experience
is 5-8 point guard Frank
Tennyson. Tennyson ended up as
Longwood 's top reserve at guard
in 1982-83. Guard Stan Hull, who
saw limited action on the varsity,
and forward John Rusevlyan
spent most of last season playing
for the lancer junior varsity
squad.
"We have only two players
back with a lot of game
experience and Kersey is the only
senior on the squad," said
Luther. "Our starting lineup
could include several freshmen
and junior college transfers."
Longwood will have nine new
faces on its squad: four freshmen
and five transfers. Expected to
provide immediate help are
transfers Dave Edwards, 6-6
center-forward, and Vance
Marsh, 6-2 guard, and junior
college transfers Tim Wilson, 6-3
forward, and David Strothers, 6-6
forward. Adding depth is quick 5-
11 guard Gary Cason, a
sophomore transfer.
The four freshmen are: 6-3
swing player Kevin Ricks, 6-2
guard Eric Pittman, 6-2 guard
Bobby Almagro and 6-5 forward
1983-84 LONGWOOD BASKETBALL TEAM (1 to r) Front row: Stan HuU, Vance Marsh, Kevin
Custis, Lonnie Lewis, Frank Tennyson. Second row: Head Coach Cal Luther, Kevin Riclis, David
Strothers, Jerome Kersey, Dave Edwards, John Rusevlyan, Assistant Coach Ernest Neal. Third
row: Bobby Almagro, Tim Wilson, Eric Pittman, Manager T. J. Granning. Absent was Gary Cason.
Kevin Custis.
Luther rates Pittman,
Edwards, Marsh, Wilson and
Ricks as leading candidates to
break into the starting lineup and
Strothers, an excellent shooter,
could challenge if he recovers
from a preseason knee injury.
On paper at least, it appears
that Longwood may have

superior deoth and balance when
compared to last year's squad.
This apparent depth and balance
are two of the reasons that Luther
is enthusiastic about the
upcoming season.
"I'm very excited about this
team," says the coach. "Despite
our lack of size and experience,
we have great enthusiasm and
spirit. We have some players who
really go after it. We may turn
out to be an exciting team and
I'm hopeful that before the
season is over we can surprise
some people."
Luther says that Longwood will
have better team speed than a
year ago and he's hopeful that the
1983-84 Uncers will be able to
maintain the accurate shooting of
past teams. Longwood, which
shot 53.2 per cent from the floor,
has ranked among Division II
leaders in field goal percentage
each of the past three seasons.
Longwood will begin play in the
Mason-Dixon Athletic
Conference in January and
Luther feels it will be the
strongest Division II league in the
country. With a number of tough
non-conference foes, like Virginia
Union and Virginia State, plus the
Mason-Dixon teams on the
schedule, Luther says he may
have over-scheduled for his
young team.
The Lancers open play
November 18-19 in their own Par-
Bil's Tip-Off Tournament with St.
Paul's, Elon and West Virginia
Tech providing the opposition.

ON CAMPUS
Parking Complaints Where Do We Come From?
By VALERIE FABRIZIO
This year a new system was
begun on I^ngwood's campus in
which students were assigned to
park in designated areas. When
students signed up for rooms last
year, they were given an
opportunity to register their
vehicles. This was used to assign
those students spaces in the
general vicinity of their dorms.
Remaining students were
assigned to the spaces that were
left.
There are 1,052 cars registered
and not enough spaces for all
these cars. Last year, students
were parking in unauthorized
areas and town and faculty
members complained. According
to Chief of Police Eric
Shoemaker, designated areas
"put the cars where the spaces
are and lets the police know
where the demand is". Campus
Police are patrolling as best they
can and there has been no
reported vandalism to cars. So
far, there have been a lot fewer
complaints from the faculty and
the town.
The areas assigned to day
students are Madison St. from
Griffin Blvd. to Venable St. and
part of Pine St. Jarman lot,
Graham lot, and Pine St. from
High to Madison Sts. are for
faculty and staff parking. On
campus this year, 614 parking
tickets have been issued. Only 174
of these have been paid. If the
fines aren't paid, the Registrar
may withhold transcripts or
cancel pre-registration for
classes.
For the first time there is an
official Appeals Committee
which reviews written appeals to
tickets. This committee is
composed of faculty, staff, and
students. A student who can't find
a parking space in his assigned
area should notify Campus
Police. They will permit parking
somewhere else for a few hours
without issuing a ticket. This will
also let them know where the
problems exist.
The Road To LC
By NATALIE WACK
The Admissions Office accepts
and recruits students for
Longwood College all along the
east coast of the United States;
this year totaling 2,637. The
admissions counselors get their
main recruits from Virginia,
Maryland, New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
The most desired major the
Longwood students come for is
business. "Many students think
they need to major in business in
order to get anywhere in the
business world, and this isn't
necessarily true," said Candy
Dowdy, one of the admissions
counselors. The major you de-
cide on should depend on what
you're good at, she added.
Longwood's sports pro-
grams also help recruit stu-
dents, many of whom are out-
of-staters. Rich Posipanko,

students from New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, New York,
Maryland and Virginia.
Longwood's basketball team also
recruits students from
Connecticut and North Carolina.
Some Longwood recruits are
termed "special applicants."
Special applicants are accepted
on the basis of artistic talent by
the art and music departments.
Near the end of the recruiting
period of a semester, if two
students with basically the same
credentials are applying, and one
of them has some "artistic
potential," or recommendations
for the music or art departments;
that one will then be accepted.
The majority of Longwood
students come in "ptu*suit of
career," and are "in mid-
economic levels," Mrs. Dowdy
said. The freshmen's average
SAT scores are 940. Most of them
graduated in the top one-third of
their classes, though the
catalogue states that Longwood
will accept those in the top one-
half of their high school
graduating class. The admissions
counselors take a combined
consideration of facts and
recommendations, when they
decide on a prospective student.
Longwood's main competitors
are Mary Washington and James
Madison University. Their
tuitions are approximately the
same as Longwood's: $3,925 for
Virginia residents, and $4,675 for
out-of-state students.
Longwood is on a "Rolling
Admissions" program, explained
Mrs. Dowdy. Beginning the week
of November 7, Longwood will
start accepting or "holding"
students for the Fall '84
semester. Holding pertains to
accepting students even though
they will not have to choose their
college until April 1, when their
deposits are due. Longwood's
biggest weekends for visiting and
prospective students are
Oktoberfest and Spring Weekend.

FEATURES
ByJEFFABERNATHY out for the show. Deep - you
Arnie Brav's voice sounds like can't exactly teU how he holds it
Its been stored in a giant vat of _ and smooth, like that charcoal-
Jack Daniels for the past five filtered JD
years and has just been brought Brav smiles once every minute
Brav In Concert
or so while he's performing;
maybe to get away from the
intensity of his guitar — work,
maybe to display a quick flash of
control. It's a sort-of degenerate
Shirley Temple smile that makes
you laugh right along with him
and wonder where that smile is
coming from, showing up like
that smack in the middle of his
music.
His Sunday night concert at
Long wood began with "Dealing
with the Devil," which came
close to what might be termed
new-wave country. Brav
explained his affinity for country
music, noting that the three kinds
of people for whom he holds the
highest esteem "are farmers,
cowboys, and hillbillies." Second
was "Double Nickel Tickle," an
instrumental composed of
speeding chords, Brav's hand
flying up and down the neck of his
guitar. This tune is featured on
anti-smokers, but I do mind
Brooke Shields. I just don't like
jail bait telling me what to do . . .
or how to do it." Brav closed the
set with "Ten Degrees and
Colder," by Gordon Lightfoot.
Brav's voice is similar to
Lightfoot's and his audience
recognized how well this song
worked for him.
The second set included
another instrumental, "Doe's
Guitar," by Doc Watson, as well
as a traditional song, "Dark
Hollow," which was made
popular when released on Bear's
Choice, an early 70's Grateful
Dead album. Brav's guitar
work was superb on "Dark
Hollow" racing like a child down
a hill, just about to fall down.
Unlike the child, Brav did not
fall. Nice.
"Sixteen Tons," a blues tune
written by Travis and
popularized by Tennessee Eamie
hrs7urrenralb7ui,'Ready"T7Gi;; J^'^^^ ^^! '!'°"^ '^"^ ^''""^
His first set included Steve ^^^ ^^^'^- ^^^^^ ^^^ ^''^v's
Goodman's "City of New
Orleans." Brav's voice was much
stronger than the guitar on this
tune, his emphasis clearly on
vocals. He also played Merle
Travis' "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke
That Cigarette" calling it his
"Brookie" song. "I don't mind
seventh show in seven days and
he was perhaps most fit for the
blues; yet his performance did
not reflect the schedule. His next
song also on Ready To Go, was
"Back On The Road," one of the
evening's best. It was emotional
for both the artist and audience.
"One Man Country Band"
followed; its soft chords flowed
well to close Brav's second set.
The final set included the
"Masochism Tango," a trite
Mexican serenade, which the
audience enjoyed. Another ditty
"Qualudes" followed, "It's easy
to see as she buckles and bends
that she's doing qualudes again."
After quite a few such songs,
Brav pointed out that he could do
some real music," yet he seemed
to prefer not do. He went into
"Warm and Free" which
involved the intricate details of
free drinks and cheap women.
The mood did get serious
before the evening's last song.
The Boxer by Paul Simon. Brav
told his audience that he was now
on his final full-time tour, that he
would have few future
performances. Before beginning
the song, Brav had very much set
a tone for the pensive lyrics of
"The Boxer." The emotion in
Brav's voice touched the
audience, was somber but
warming:" 'I am leaving, I am
leaving.' But the fighter still
remains." Maybe I'm reading too
much into this choice of songs,
yet somehow I doubt it.
All in all a good show. Bravo . . .
indeed.

Ame Brav performed at Longwood November 12th and 13th.
His album, "Ready To Gro" will soon be available.
Longwood Exhibit Illustrates
The Way We Were
The Longwood Fine Arts
Center's major exhibit this year
"should bring back a lot of
memories," says Barbara
Bishop, head of Longwood
College's art department.
The exhibit, entitled
"American Illustration 1880-
1940," is on display in the Bedford
Gallery at Longwood through
November 20.
The 30 works in the exhibit,
each by a different artist, are on
loan from the Society of
Illustrators Museum of American
Illustration in New York City.
This is the first time the Society
has loaned a sizable selection of
its original works for exhibition.
The time span covered by the
exhibit includes what is known as
"the Golden Age of Illustration."
The works appeared in such
magazines as Harper's, The
Saturday Evening Post, Ladies
Home Journal, American,
Collier's, Redbook, Cos-
mopolitan, McCall's, and Motion
Picture. Some also were
published as book illustrations.
Eleven of the works are black-
and-white drawings in charcoal
or pen-and-ink. The remaining 19
color works are in a variety of
media — watercolor, tempera,
pastels, and oil.
"Illustration is a chronicle of
the times," Bishop said, "as well
as a method of communication."
The works depict styles of
clothing, furnishings, and
manners from the tum-of-the
century and from the decade of
"the flapper."
And, from the 1930s, there are
the illustrations designed to lift
people from their worries and
reassure them that "the good
life" was still possible. As one
viewer remarked, "The women
were beautiful, the men were
handsome, and they all were
rich!"
The largest work in the exhibit
is a 50-by-26-inch oil painting by
Mead Schaffer. It was published
in Redbook in 1930, illustrating
"Women America Remembers:
Molly Brandt" by Arthur D.
Howden Smith.
Other artists included in the
Longwood exhibit are: Norman
Mills Price, Daniel Beard,
Charles Davis Williams, WiUiam
Thomas Smedley, Thomas Nast,
Frederic Rodrigo Gruger,
Lawrence Fellows, Joseph
Clement Coll, Frank Vincent
Dumond, John LaGatta, John
Gannam, Pruett A. Carter, Ralph
Pallen Coleman, Arthur Ignatius
Keller, and Albert Beck Wenzell.
The American Illustration
exhibit is open to the public
during regular Bedford Gallery
hours: Monday through Friday, 9
a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m.;
Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m.; and
Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m. Additional
hours may be arranged by
request for group visits; call the
Longwood art department at

Anger is the first step to courage, according to St.
Thomas Aquainis, but Bishop Walter F. Sullivan looked
anything but angry. His voice was quiet, but quivered
with a sense of urgency as he addressed a crowd of over
200 last Thursday, November 10 in Lankford.
Bishop Sullivan's discussion on Peacemaking was
the final program in Longwood's first Non-Violent Week
— (a rather successful week I might add).
His message was clear — it was peace he wanted.
No bombs, bloodbaths or war. And who can argue with
that. He thought that young people should stand up and
be heard. He told us that no one would survive a nuclear
war. He told us that people were starving while bigger
and better bombs are being built, Russia is as afraid as
we are, people are dying in Lebanon, Grenada is a
stepping stone to Nicaragua and that it's time for
America's "moral aboutface."
So tell us something we don't know. Bishop. Nobody
wants to see women and children blown up, and nobody
wants to rot slowly and have their hair fall out after the

So You Want To
Be A Professor.
• •
By GEORGU COCKHILL
Dr. Edmond C. Conway, Dean
of the Faculty, is responsible for
the general implementation of
the appointment, reappointment,
promotion and tenure policies of
the College.
As stated in the Longwood
College Faculty Handbook,
requests for new faculty
appointments originate with the
Department Head; then approval
from the Dean of the Faculty is
necessary before the initiation of
a search to fill a vacancy or a new
position.
All initial appointments of full-
time faculty, librarians, and
athletic staff is on a six year
probationary basis with
eligibility thereafter for annual
contracts. The handbook outlines
the following conditions for
instructors and professors: 1 —
Instructors shall be appointed
annually, but are not eligible for
tenure. 2 — Assistant professors,
associate professors, and
professors shall be reappointed
annually during the six year
probationary period.
The terminal degree for faculty
in all departments is an earned
doctorate. While all faculty are
expected to hold the terminal
degree, Longwood College
recognizes that the possession of
a doctoral degree may not
properly measure an individual's
capacity for contributing to the
intellectual life of the College.
Exemptions from the doctoral
degree requirement may be
given on a case-by-case basis in
writing by the Dean of the
Faculty. Out of approximately
156 faculty members, 98 have a
doctoral degree, according to the
1983-84 Longwood Student
Handbook.
The probationary faculty
member is reviewed by the
department tenure committee
during the first, third, and fifth
years of full-time teaching.
Primary consideration is given to
teaching effectiveness,
professional activities, and
participation in departmental
and College activities.
The general criteria for
promotion, as outlined in the
Faculty Handbook, are
possession of a doctoral degree,
teaching effectiveness,
professional activity and
achievement, and participation
in departmental, faculty, and
College activities. The specific
criteria for promotion to each
rank are as follows: 1 — For
Assistant Professor, the
candidate must have had two
years of full-time teaching
experience. 2 — For Associate
Professor, the candidate should
show evidence of professional
achievement which is recognized
within and beyond the state and
region, and have completed at
least seven years of full-time

Risk Censorship?
Television
Violence
By J.D.BROWN
Dr. Robert Alley, Jr., from the
University of Richmond, spoke at
a luncheon-lecture Tuesday,
November 8, in the Virginia
Room at Longwood. The topic
was "Television Violence and its
Effects on Children," and it was
the second in a series of five
programs in Longwood's first
Non-Violent Week (Nov. 7-11).
"Television is not responsible
for violence — it's too simple, the
question of causality is far more
complex." Television is a part of
popular culture — one whose
effects and affects cannot be
overlooked. "If we call television
the ogre that causes violence,
we're missing the real causes
instead of looking at television as
a reflection. The culture that TV
reflects is at the same time part
of that culture," according to
Alley.
After what Alley called "Prime
Time Legislation" that worked to
keep violence off the networks
during hours 7-9 p.m. (typically
the hours most popular with
family viewing), there was a
surge of concern for the effects of
graphic violence on people's
minds, with special consideration
to the reactions of children to
violence.
The "blood and guts" violence
was replaced with a more comic
approach with shows like "The
Dukes of Hazard" or "Simon &
Simon." That tongue in cheek
approach to violence, according
to Alley, "presumably makes it
more acceptable." The programs
like "Dukes of Hazard" are
potentially more influential in the
lives of children than more
serious shows. Comic violence
makes light of the law and light of
violence. In "Kojak" or "Hawaii
Five-0," the violence and the law
are taken very seriously. When
the characters in "Dukes" have
car accidents, or brawls, they
dust themselves off and there's
no consequence. In other shows,
characters are shot and they die,
and when they have car wrecks,
people are hurt and don't always
walk away.
"Violence with a smile is far
more serious," said Alley.
Although the question of
violence in television is one
worthy of consideration. Alley
was sensitive about the possible
implications of censorship,
however. "How much violence is
too much? And who would you
want deciding that for you?
Would you want Jerry Falwell to
do it — or Norman Lear?"
Violence is a reality of society,
and especially American society.
Alley doesn't think the answer is
to obliterate all forms of violence

Founders Day, Black Alumni
Weekend, and a Basketball Tip-
Off Game for all young male
alumni are just some of the
events the Alumni Relations
Office are working on for this
year. Mrs. Nancy Shelton,
Director of Alumni Relations,
said that no matter what time of
year it is, the Alumni Office
remains constantly busy.
With over 14,000 alumni,
planning activities is not the only
factor of alumni relations the
office handles. Six times a year a
newsletter is sent out in
conjunction with the Public
Affairs Office asking for
suggestions and evaluations as
well as address corrections to
everyone. The office also solicits
any pictures taken from the past
to get an accurate history of
Longwood.
From this came the knowledge
that the Freshmen Class in 1976
was not the first class to have
males enrolled on campus. Males
can be traced back to 1934 as day
students through 1968. From 1969
to 1976 there were no
undergraduate males at
Longwood, according to Alumni
records.
The oldest active living alumna
lives in Richmond, again
according to the records. Miss
Ruby Leigh Orgain from the
Class of 1899 presides at Windsor
Nursing Home, and remembers
Longwood (then the State
Normal School) well. Entering at
the age of 15, she became one of
the Founders of the Zeta Tau
Alpha social sorority. Today she
is still busy with all kinds of

The key is to examine each

Should Macbeth to shown with

Violence should be portrayed
itelligently and realistically and

PUNT FOOTBALL LC
(First of a two-part series)
Last summer, a group of the
Board of Visitors kicked around
the idea of Longwood fielding a
football team. A few of the
reasons were to cater to the male
enrollment and for a center of
excitement in the school.
The exaggerated rumors
quickly spread through the
student body. Some said Dr.
Greenwood wanted to change
Oktoberfest to Homecoming to
accommodate the football
season. Ranges of prices for the
start-up costs were from three to
five million dollars. Rumors are
rumors and are probably
inaccurate.
All this hoopla about the
gridiron at Longwood scares me.
Longwood does not need a
football program. Look around
the state at successful athletic
programs without the pigskin:
ODU, VCU, Roanoke. George
Mason and Lynchburg are a few.
With already 15 intercollegiate
sports, football could spread out
the athletic emphasis too thin.
Football could not be treated as a
low emphasis sport, but as a
major commitment. I don't think
the people who want to use
football as a social affair realize
this. Buikding a football program
is not like a basketball program.
It requires 20 or 30 quality
players and an experienced
coaching staff at the minimal. It
also requires a college president
and athletic director who will be
supportive. If the school does not
have enough emphasis on the
program, it will reflect a loser in
not only a losing record, but
general apathy. For example, the
Richmond Spiders only drew
3,500 to one of their Division I-AA
contests; and look at Virginia,
the laughing stock of the ACC for
so many years.
The Longwood community,
especially the student body, will
not support a losing football team
in the building years. If you don't
believe me, look at the other
losing sports and see if the fan
support is good. The attendance
will be further hurt by the
competition down the road at
Hampden-Sydney. No one wants
to see a losing struggling team
when they can see an established
and competitive team. Even with
a good team, it would be hard to
lure fans away from the glitter
and spectacle of a fall afternoon
at Death Valley.
(Continued on page 8)
Longwood's women's
basketball team opens its 1983-84
season at Maryland Eastern
Shore Friday night at 6:00, but
the Lady Lancers will have to
play without leading socrer and
rebounder Florence Holmes.
Holmes, who averaged 12.4
points and 7.1 rebounds last
season, has been out of action for
the past week because of illness,
and she may be on the sidelines
for several additional weeks.
"It does not look promising for
Florence to get any playing time
soon," said Longwood coach
Shirley Duncan. "It certainly
hurts to lose a player of
Florence's ability. We hope she'll
have a speedy recovery."
Duncan, who began her first
year as Longwood coach in
October, plans to start senior
Robin Powell and freshman
Caren Forbes at guards,
freshman Karen Boska at center
and juniors Mariana Johnson and
Valerie Turner at forwards
Friday night.
"We're anxious to play," says
Duncan. "The outlook is filled
with questions right now, and the
first few games will answer a lot
of those questions."
Duncan and assistant coach
Nanette Fisher have six players
back from last year's 9-16 team
and five of those either started or
saw considerable action. On the

other hand, graduation claimed
Longwood's top two centers and
second leading scorer Cindy
Eckel, who surpassed the 1,000
point mark in career scoring last
season.
Six new faces have joined the
Lady Lancer squad and several
of those newcomers will have to
produce right away.
"When you have a new coach
and so many new players, it will
take time to get things sorted
out," says Duncan.
Expected to pick up some of the
slack during Holmes' absence
are juniors Johnson, Turner and
Bev Powell. Johnson was team
MVP last season while Turner
was the team's second leading
scorer (7.8) and rebounder (6.3).
Robin Powell, sister of Bev, has
been a two-year starter at guard.
She dished off 58 assists and also
had 58 steals last season. Reserve
guard Amy Cook returns for her
sophomore year.
Newcomers include: freshmen
Melanie Lee, a 5-11 center-
forward, Reeva Spradlin, 5-7
guard, Boska, a 6-1 center, and
Forbes, a 5-6 guard, plus
sophomores Kim Rhodes and
Kellie Jordan, both 5-9 forwards.
Duncan is counting on Lee and
Spradlin to be her top reserves,
and Bev Powell could also be a
big plus off the bench if she
recovers from a pre-season knee
injury. Powell was one of
Longwood's top rebounders last
season until a back problem
forced her to the bench.
"I expect both Forbes and
Robin Powell to make significant
contributions at the guard
position," said the Lady Lancer
coach. "Caren is an effective
outside shooter, while Robin is
probably our best defensive
player. Amy (Cook) is also a fine
outside shooter."
Duncan says that Longwood's
main goals are to improve on last
season's record and to win the
VAIAW Division II
championship. The Lady Lancers
will be competing with Radford,
Randolph-Macon, Liberty
Baptist ahd Hampton Institute
for one of four spots in the
VAIAW Division II Tournament
March 2-3 at Radford.
"With only six players
returning, the success of the
team will depend greatly on how
quickly our freshmen mature and
adjust to the college game," said
Duncan. "In the meantime the
returnees will have to perform
well for us to achieve early
success. Every game on our
schedule is going to present us
with quite a challenge. We cannot
and will not take any opponent
Ughtly."
Par-Bil's Tip-Off
When Longwood's men's
basketball team hosts the Par-
Bil's Tip-Off Tournament Friday
and Saturday to kick off the 1983-
84 season, the Lancers may find
themselves in the position of not
being favored to win their own
tournament.
The Lancers, 15-10 last season,
open the tournament Friday
night at 7:00 when they take on
always tough St. Paul's. At 9:00
Elon will take on West Virginia
Tech. The consolation and
championship contests will take
place at 6:30 and 8:30 Saturday
night. The tournament is being
sponsored by Par-Bil's Food
Store of Farmville.
Longwood coach Cal Luther is
bringing in an exceptionally
rugged field of teams. On paper,
at least, Elon figures to be the
favorite with West Virginia Tech,
St. Paul's and Longwood battling
for the runeer-up spot.
While the Fighting Christians
were only 12-17 last season, they
will have the tallest team in the
tournament and perhaps the
most talented. Elon has a pair of
6-9 centers in soph Andre Hines
and junior Jay l^e, plus 6-6
Robert Leak, a previously highly-
touted junior college eager who
transferred in from Auburn.
"The tournament is going to
provide an exciting challenge for
our young team," said Luther.
"All three teams coming in figure
to be strong. We're hoping we can
make at least a representative
showing."
Luther has two starters back
from last season and those two
veterans are the only Lancer
cagers who have locked up
starting positions. Senior AU-
American Jerome (the Cobra)
Kersey will start at center while
soph Ijonnie Lewis will open at
one of the forward positions.
Battling for the other forward
slot are juniors David Strothers
and Tim Wilson, both
newcomers.
In contention for the guard
positions are veterans Frank
Tennyson and Stan Hull, both
sophomores, and freshmen Eric
Pittman and Kevin Ricks.
Luther has been pleased with
his team's hustle and defense in
preseason scrimmages, but he
says longwood must make major
improvements in its shooting and
ball-handling before the I.ancers
can be considered a good team.
Following the Par-Bil's
Tournament, Ix)ngwood will face
a tough road game at Guilford
Tuesday, November 22, before
taking part in the Cystic Fibrosis
Tip-Off Tournament at Valdosta
State (GA.) November 27-28.
Ivongwood has eight new play-
ers on its 13-man roster.

Dick Shultz, the Virginia
Athletic Director, summed it up
best when he said:
"Yes, this is at the university
level, but football and basketball
are the most pubhcized sports at
any collegiate level. I don't want
people to ask me where I go to
school and say, 'Oh, yeah, they
have a rotten football team.' "
The success of athletic teams
also reflects interest in
prospective students, according
to UVA's Shultz.
My last criticism pertains to
the need for a football team to
rally around. Do you need a
football team to get fired up? No.
Take a look at Old Dominion, who
put the school on the map with a
women's basketball team that
was second to none. If that's not
enough, take a journey down
"Tobacco Road" to Raleigh and
look at the remnants of the couch
burning raUies for the "Team of
Destiny" (1983 NC State Men's
Basketball Team). As I recall, a
former girls' school in southside
Virginia rallied when their team
was headed to the Division III
Final Four in Men's Basketball in
1980. Even soccer is becoming
appealing to the students and LC
community. What do these
groups have in common? They
are winners and people love
winners.
longwood has built up a fine
athletic program in men's and
women's sports. No one wants to
go through the trials and
tribulations of building another
team.
Sit tight, Ix)ngwood, and build
what you already have.
Grapplers Compete Lady Lancer Golf Tourney
Longwood's wrestling team, which competed in the Winston-
Salem St. Invitational Tournament over the weekend, takes this week
off before opening its home schedule next Monday (Nov. 21) when
Lynchburg and William & Mary visit for a 6:00 tri-match.
Monday's tri-match will mark the start of dual match competition
for the young Lancers. Longwood won 11 out of 24 matches in the
Winston-Salem St. Tournament against the likes of Division I Camp-
bell, North Carolina A & T, Pembroke St., Livingstone, Barber Scotia
and Winston Salem. The tourney was held Friday night and Saturday.
Finishing fourth for Longwood, in their respective weight classes,
were Mike Hackett, who went 2-2 at 126 pounds, and Steve Albeck, 3-2
at 142 pounds. Also reaching the semifinals were Bill Howard, 2-2 at
167 and Scott Gregory, 1-2 at 177. Tim Fitzgerald had a 2-2 mark at 118
pounds for the Lancers.
"We improved on our showing in the James Madison Takedown
Tournament," said coach Steve Nelson. "We lost a lot of very, very
close matches. We faced some even competition and just came out on
the short end."
Nelson, who has eight freshmen on his 15-man squad, feels his team
is beginning to make progress, particularly for this early in the
season.
Longwood faces an uphill battle in most dual matches since the
liancers will likely have to forfeit the 190-pound and heavyweight
classes, but Nelson feels he has some fine grapplers in the lower
weights.
lAA News
Longwood's women's golf team
wrapped up its fall season last
week, finishing eighth out of 10
teams in the Lady Wolfpack
Invitational Tournament at
MacGregor Downs Country Club
in Cary, North Carolina
Wednesday.
The three-day, 54-hole
tournament was won by Duke
which carded 320-297-310-912 to
beat second place Wake Forest
(928) by 26 strokes. Other team
scores were as follows: NC State
939, North Carolina 952, North
Carolina-Wilmington 1,002,
William & Mary 1,010, NC State
(Red) 1,020, Longwood 343-340-
338 - 1,021, Meredith 1,030,
James Madison 1,038.
Top performers for Longwood
were Lanie Gerken and Sue
Morgan, both of whom shot 252.
Gerken had an 80-^5-87-252 while
Morgan compiled an 87-82-83-252.
Also for Longwood, Carol
Rhoades had a 92-85-82-259, Kim
Patterson 84-88-87-259 and Mary
Semones 92-91-86-269.
The Longwood women golfers
will resume play in the spring
season in late February. Coach
Barbara Smith is looking for
improved play from her team in
the spring.
"We had some good individual
scores in different tournaments,"
said Dr. Smith. "We hope to do
better in the spring as a team. All
our golfers had some good rounds
in the fall, just not at the same
time."

Longwood's soccer team met
defeat in the final game of the
season last Wednesday as
William & Mary broke a
scoreless deadlock mid-way
through the second half and went
on a 5-0 triumph. The shutout
ended a string of 18 straight
games in which Longwood had
avoided being shut-out.
With a final 12-2-4 record, the
Lancer booters had the best
record of any Longwood soccer
team in history while breaking
four team and two individual
records. Longwood, however,
was once again overlooked in the
NCAA post-season playoff
picture.
VISA state champ in 1982,
Longwood was also unable to
qualify for the VISA playoffs,
despite the fact that the Lancers
had a better record than three of
the four playoff teams.
Longwood set records for
fewest goals allowed in a season
(20), longest win streak (6), most
consecutive games without being
shutout (18) and longest unbeaten
streak (10). Goalie Brian
Sprinkle recorded six shutouts
for a career record total of 12.
Freshman goalie Rob Liessem
rang up the best goalkeeper
average ever at Longwood with a
0.72 for 11 games. Sprinkle was
right behind at 0.85 for 14 games.
Leading point producers for
longwood were senior Chris
Wilkerson who had five goals and
five assists for 15 points.
Another senior Tim Brennan was
next with five goals and two
assists. He had 36 career goals.
Sophomores Clay Mullican and
Sam St. Phard both had 11 points
and sophomore Mark McArdle
had 10 points.
With only three seniors on this
year's squad, Longwood should
field another strong team next
season.

Longwood: A Helping Hand Market Basket
Local Food Prices Still Dropping
By KENT BOOTY
Longwood College will literally
lend a helping hand to the
community one Saturday next
March.
In an ambitious project called
"LIVE '84" - Longwood
Initiates Volunteer Energy —
some 2,000 student, faculty, staff,
administration and Board
volunteers will perform varied
odd jobs in the Farmville area on
Saturday, March 31. The
services, to be determined in
cooperation with area officials,
will assist senior citizens and
nonprofit organizations.
"It's a hand-in-hand project
with the town," said I.B. Debt,
director of student activities, who
heads the steering committee.
"The people in town will get to
know students on a personal
level; they'll realize that these
students are just like their kids or
grandchildren. They will also see
that we have students who care
about the community."
One interesting feature of the
project is that, in addition to
students, members of
Longwood's faculty, staff and
Board of Visitors will be taking
part. "Quite a few of the faculty
and staff have already told me
they'll participate," Mr. Dent
said.
"Churches and garden clubs,
for example, might need some
work done," suggested Mr. Dent.
"People might need a hand
moving furniture or helping with
a flower garden. The Sheltered
Workshop, hospital auxiliary or
nursing homes also might have
different jobs. There are so many
possibilities."
The Volunteer Coordinator
conrmiittee, oneefsix committees
under the overall steering
committee, will try to generate
widespread student
participation. LIVE '84 has been
scheduled for the first weekend
after students return from spring
break, when many traditionally
remain on campus.
"We have to come up with the
volunteer workers and also, by
working with the town, determine
what type of jobs need to be
done," said Tom Bailey, a senior
who is chairman of that
committee. "It might be raking
leaves, painting street signs,
cleaning up a park, planting
flowers — whatever needs to be
done."
Organizers say they will create
interest though competition
between and among student
organizations, such as
fraternities, sororities and
residence halls.
"Once people start doing
publicity, we hope there will be a
snowball effect," Bailey
predicted. "For example, if the
residents of Curry (hall) become
heavily involved, the people in
Frazer will want to become
involved, too. One group is not
going to let the other group out-do
them."
Afterwards, awards and prizes
will be presented to organizations
with the highest percentage of
participation. There will be
competition both between
residence halls and among the
floors of the halls.
There's another incentive for
people to participate — the
Student Union is sponsoring a
mixer that evening in which
admission will be free to those
who worked.
"We're hoping the
entertainment (mixer) and
competition will be enough to
attract a large number of
students, plus the fact that people
are doing something good for the
community," said Bailey.
The cost of the Farmville area
market basket was 10 cents lower
in November than in October.
The 40-item basket was $61.87 this
month, compared to $61.97 in
October.
Market basket surveys in the
Richmond and Tidewater areas
also showed slight decreases in
food costs. The Richmond basket
was $61.13 in November, down
from $62.47 in October. The
Tidewater area basket, the
lowest priced one in the state,
was down from $60.55 in October
to $59.60 in November.
The Northern Virginia basket
was the only one in the state to
show a small increase. It was
$64.77 this month, up from $64.50
in October.
Local food buyers are paying
1.15 percent less for food this
November than they were a year
ago. The cost of the market
basket in November 1982 was
$62.59.
In the November survey of four
local food stores, lower prices
were found for 16 items. Thirteen
items were priced higher, and 11
items were priced the same as
last month.
The difference between the
"high" and "low" baskets this
month was a sizeable $14.09. The
shopper who selected only the
highest priced items would pay
$68.58 for the basket; for the
shopper who selected only the
lowest priced items, the cost
would be $54.49.
The news is good on the
gasoline front, too. Ten of the 16
local stations surveyed offered
lower gasoline prices in
November than in October.
Lower prices were found for
regular, unleaded, and premium
unleaded gasoline. As usual, the
best prices were at self-service
stations.
These price studies are
projects of the Economics
Seminar class at Longwood
College, under the direction of
Dr. Anthony B. Cristo.

Big Blue
Norman Simpsoo as "Big Blue."
What the heck is that? WeU, it's
really a bunch of blue bathroom
mats sewn together to look like a
giant aardvark or something like
that. But once Norman Simpson
crawls inside, it comes alive as
"Big Blue," Longwood's new
basketball mascot. "Big Blue"
was conceived by the basketball
cheerleaders and created by
Norman Simpson and Julie
Mobley.
"Blue" was greeted with
enthusiastic cheers for his debut
at the first home game. Simpson
says he gets psyched-up for
games by working out with the
cheerleaders before hand and
although the rubber lined suit
gets awful hot and sweaty inside,
Simpson's performance isn't
hindered. In fact, "Big Blue's"
leg fell off while he was jumping
around during the second game.
Right now, "Big Blue" is on a
trial basis as Ix)ngwood's mascot
and if he proves popular "Blue"
will be seen at sporting events
other than just basketball. "Big
Blue's" purpose in life is to
promote school and team spirit.
"Blue" can be seen again next

An average of 270 books are
checked out each day at
Longwood College's Lancaster
Library. Over 215,000 books are
housed in the library. During the
1982-83 school year a total of
98,417 books was checked out. Of
these books, 85,656 were checked
out by Longwood College
students.
According to the State
Statistics Staff Technical Report
for Academic Libraries in
Virginia for the year of 1980^1,
Longwood's library rates an
average of 15th when compared
to 72 other institutions.
The total budget for the library
during 1982-83 was $565,882 or
$1,550.36 per day. The budget for
materials, books, and periodicals
was $180,000 for the year or
$493.15 per day. The largest
donation the library has ever
received was $4,000 from a
former Longwood student who
was a student worker at the
library.
The addition of computers
during the summer of '83 has
made the employees at the
library very busy. The employees
at the library consist of six
librarians, 12 support staff, three
part-time, and 17 student
workers. By January, the library
hopes to have all material listed
from '77 to date in the computers.
The General Assembly turned
down a plan two years ago to add
three floors to the back of the
library. The proposed plan will be
reconsidered at the beginning of
next year.
College Exceeds Minority Goal
By BETH PARKER
The goal was reached for the
number of minority students at
Longwood College in '82-'83 for
the first time in the history of the
college. In fact, the college
exceeded its goal for minority
students.
Out of the 2,500 students, 180
are minority students. The
college also has seven minority
faculty and administration
members.
There are 15 state supported
colleges in the state of Virginia.
Thirteen of these colleges are
predominately black. Only three
out of the 13 predominately white
colleges didn't meet their goal.
According to the admissions
office, Longwood was proud to
exceed its goal and hopes to do
just as well or better in the
future. They plan on doing more
high school recruiting in the
future to keep minority
enrollment up.

Before the broadcast of ABC's The Day After, I was
already convinced that it was going to be a waste of my
time. Propoganda I tell you — political hype —
sensationalistic and all that.
And I was right — mostly. The best part about The
Day After was Longwood's "The Day After The Day
After" panel discussion. It wasn't that the discussion, or
the points brought out were anything terrific, but it was
absolutely terrific that first, Longwood even dreamed of
such a display of political concern, and secondly, that
Jeffers Auditorium was filled with students, faculty and
administration.
Dr. Conway, Dean of Faculty, headed the panel, and
the rest of the group was a combination of faculty and
students, all from the English, Philosophy and Foreign
Languages Department. And they all predictably
wanted peace — a freeze on nuclear arms. Nothing real
original but certainly a landmark for any organized
group at Longwood to vocalize.
The composition of the panel was more than a little
lopsided — and a member of the audience noticed
enough to ask why there was no dissenting member, like
from the Military Science Department, on the panel.
Dr. David James, Professor of Philosophy,
explained that Major Crawford, head of the Department
of Military Science, had been invited to either appear at
the discussion, or send a representative. But she
declined, and apparently not by choice. According to
Major Crawford, she had been given direct orders not to,
comment on the film The Day After "probably because
of the sensitivity" she explained. (Hm-m. Freedom of
whose speech!) I'm not sure I understand why anyone
would be expected to commit their life to a cause and
then accept orders not to defend that commitment.
But in light of the imbalance of the panel, it still
showed promise that Longwood would gather and
brainstorm ideas and feelings on a topic so potentially
controversial as nuclear war.
Who knows? In time, maybe some kind of peace
movement will spring from the people at Longwood —
marching in the streets, banners and black armbands.
Bob Dylan — the works.
And maybe more people will start talking —
communicating their fears, feelings and questions —
and start searching for answers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Open Letter To Steve Ewe II
An Open Letter To Steve Ewell:
I commend you on your support
of and believe in freedom and the
American way, Steve, but I would
ask you to think more carefully
about what it is you are actually
supporting. When you say things
like, "Whatever action the United
States undertakes anywhere in
the world its people should give
complete support," you are
advocating, in effect, a
totalitarian state — one in which
dissent and the rational dialogue
upon which a democracy is
founded seems to have no place.
Are you suggesting that "the
price of freedom" is that, Steve?
Elected politicans are self-
serving, fallible human beings
like the rest of us — are you
suggesting that somehow they
become perfect in their public
roles and decisions? I agree that
our interventions in Lebanon
(and Grenada) have many
underlying reasons —
unfortunately, as you suggest,
"many more than you or I will
ever know." You seem to suggest
that it's appropriate for our
government to withhold these
reasons and-or lie to us, in which
case you again are advocating a
totalitarian state — not a
democracy which depends, in
theory, on an informed citizenry
and free press to have input to
significant national decisions.
Clearly such input is quite
indirect in today's complex
world, but if we are to maintain
"freedom," we deserve accurate
information, not misinformation
(as was the case in Grenada).
Finally, your argument implies
a heroic vision of Mark's death in
Lebanon. As Richard Cohen
suggests in his October 30, 1983
column in the Washington Post,
the Marines killed in Lebanon
were not heroes, but ". . . victims.
A soldier killed in his sleep is
hardly a hero. He has no chance
to be, no opportunity to do
anything heroic." The questions
about our involvement in
Lebanon, Grenada, or anywhere
need to be raised — why are we
there? Whose interests are we
serving? Historically, our global
use of force — most recently
Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, and
now Lebanon — have produced
stalemates at best, not to mention
draining our precious human and
economic resources
dramatically. So I think the price
of freedom is continual self-
analysis and critique —
otherwise there is little real
freedom left to defend.

And Another.
To the Editor of the Rotunda:
This is a plea for common
sense. Realize the fact that you
believe that your and only your
ideas are right. That's fine.
Everyone is entitled to his own
opinion, but this is a plea to base
your opinions on logic.
The article in which the Reaper
was pissed made logical sense.
Think about it. Nobody likes war,
it's stupid. It doesn't matter what
you are fighting for, the stupidity
far outweighs the cause where
death and destruction are
involved. It just proves how
incredibly base our modem and
"highly technological society" is.
Who are we trying to kid? We're
not getting any smarter, we're
just learning how to make more
destructive weapons. It's all
surface; expended time and
energy that could surely be
directed toward something
worthwhile.
There's no propaganda in
wanting to live for your freedom
rather than to die for it. My
freedom is established, thank
you. That was taken care of when
the American Revolution was
fought and the Bill of Rights was
placed in the Constitution of the
United States.
Please don't push the theory of
communist aggression on me.
What about DEMOCRATIC
aggression? Where the hell do
you get off deciding what is right
for everyone else? It is possible
for communism and democracy
to exit together without
hostilities. In your eyes
communism is bad because you
know only democracy. There are
good and bad points for both
sides. Conrununism is suitable for
the large population in Russia; it
is much easier to place their
economic standards on a
collective level. We can base our
economics on a free enterprise
system because that was the
whole point of the United States
in the first place. Notice,
however, that as the country and
business expands, so does
governmental control. Neither
contmiunism nor democracy is
completely right, but by the same
token neither is completely
wrong. The situation of social
crisis is what ultimately decides
which form of government will be
most successful for the majority
of the people.

Imaginery Invalid: A Review
By JOHNEL D.BROWN
A nice night of thoughtless,
easy-to-swallow entertainment —
no nuclear fallout, Vietnam vets,
Sophocles or parables. Just
Moliere. (Just Moliere?!)
Longwood Players and the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts presented "The
Imaginary Invalid," Nov. 16-19 in
Jarman Auditorium.
Freshman Rob Robertson who
had the lead (by the Grace of
God) was annoying as the
whining, Argan, which was called
for in any hypochondriac. But
Robertson just wasn't enough —
he gloated in the spotlight and
entertained the audience but
forgot he was on the stage with
other cast members. His delivery
was expressionless, and his
presence was nil.
He never interacted with the
other players, but acted AT the
audience instead. Tacky at best.
Junior Connie Watkins was
good as Argan's insincere,
patronizing wife. She worked
more at trying to compensate for
Robertson.
Freshman, Anastasia
MacDonald showed promise as
the weak, lovesick Angelique.
She maybe could have been
better with a different part — one
without the musical demands.
And Junior, Jamila Smith
seemed to improve as the play
progressed. She began a little
uncomfortable, nervous, and
overacting, but by the second
half, Smith turned out in full
form, certainly capable and full
of expression. She was always in
character, (unlike Robertson,
MacDonald or Watkins) if not in
her delivery then in her silent
expressions.
Curt Walker and David Miller
as the father and son duo worked
well with each other. Miller was
exceptional in his Longwood
debut. His knees never stopped
wobbling as he carried the part of
the dominated nerdly son.
The real question, when it
comes to the rest of the players is
the casting. Sophomore Jerry
Dagenhart, very obviously one of
the strongest actors at
Longwood, was cast as Beralde,
Argan's brother. His role was
minor, and his lines few — and
still he outshone Robertson
blatantly.
Dagenhart's
from adequate lo horrible. Mike
f osier looked like a clown, Mark
presence and Winecoff needed a little help on
sensitivity to the other actors and the age lines — and maybe the
to the audience was remarkable voice. (The "hunch-back" walk
as he delivered lines that could was good though.) And Connie
have been lost in the scene, but Watkins' penciled-in cleavage
instead were hilarious because of was a nice touch.
Dagenhart's communication with
the audience.
His sensitivity even carried
over to players not nearly as
sensitive, as he smoothed over
Robertson' broken, forgotten and
displaced lines with the greatest
of ease.
Dagenhart could have done
much more for the production —
and the production could've been
more had he been cast in a
stronger part. (Did someone say
Argan? ! )
Junior, Vince Decker was also
miscast. He pranced around
looking studly, basking in the
curls and limelight. Had I not
seen Red Ryder, I would have
thought Decker to be an amateur.
His talents outweighed the
demands of his role as Cleante.
The costumes were colorful —
(but Decker in pink?! C'mon
Jerry . . .) and very well
designed. The makeup ranged
It was almost 8:00 and the
stage was set — a simple but
tasteful set — (congrats Mr.
Evans). I'm still puzzled though
— why Elise McCarty, the
Property Mistress, was lounging
around on the set, I just can't
figure out. And during the set
change she arranged and
rearranged, removed and shifted
the set with no great speed — and
what happened to the "all-in-
black" the crew is traditionally
supposed to be sporting? Where's
your professionalism, tighten up,
crew!
The Imaginary Invalid, in spite
of the haphazard casting (which
could've proved disastrous if it
hadn't been for the handful of
strong actors who knew how to
compensate on stage), and the
unprofessional set crew, was still
a success. The audience loved it
— it was time for a few laughs, a
break from the intense.
Dress For
Success
"Dress For Success," a fashion
show aimed at graduating
seniors, was held last week in
Blackwell Dining Hall. Designed
to assist the newcomers to the
business field in choosing a pro-
per wardrobe for a successful
career, the show offered many
alternatives to the traditional
business suit. Local clothiers
supplied the many fashions worn
by the models. The show was well
received by those in attendance
and proved to be very
informative as to proper attire to
be worn on an interview.

Dr. Barbara Smith Named LPGA Coach Of The Year
Dr. Barbara Smith, Longwood competition with coaches from
women's golf coach for 17 years, colleges like Rollins, Iowa and
has been named as LPGA Lamar. Members of the Ladies
"Coach^f-the-Year" for 1983. Dr. Professional Golf Association
Smith won the national award in voted for the award.
Gymnasts Open Season
Host Duke December 2nd
The 1983-84 Longwood
gymnastics team opens its
season against a strong Division I
team — Duke, December 2 at
Lancer Hall.
Longwood coach Ruth Budd
feels Duke is one of the stronger
teams on this year's schedule.
The Lancers' schedule is a
challenging one as exactly half of
their opponents are Division I
schools. In addition the Lancers
will compete against William and
Mary, the defending NAIA
champion and Radford, a strong
Division II rival which has beaten
Longwood by less than a point
twice in the last two years.
Coach Budd had been
optimistic about the upcoming
season. She felt the team would
be competitive as long as they
could avoid the injuries which
plagued them only a year ago.
Unfortunately the injuries are
haunting them once again.
Sophomore Kelly Strayer injured
her arm in practice, but is doing
well in rehabilitation and should
be in full strength against Duke.
Junior Gray Stabley injured her
ankle and probably will not be in
full form December 2. Stabley is
a third year returnee for the
Lancers.
Also returning from last year's
team are Dayna Hankinson, Kim
Kenworthy, Kimi Owens, Cindy
Weinstock and Lisa Zuraw.
Coach Budd feels the Lancers
will be greatly improved on bars,
the event which troubled
Longwood last year. Newcomers
Debbie Malin, Kerri Hruby and
Kelly Strayer are all strong on
bars. Malin was the USGF State
Champion on bars in South
Carolina the last three years.
Coach Budd feels that it will be
beneficial to the Longwood
gymnasts to open the season
against a strong Division I team.
"It will be a good experience for
the freshmen to see some of the
better gymnasts," said Budd. She
also added that it will be a good
way to show the strength of the
schedule. The Duke meet can
show the Lancers how good they
will have to be in order to be a
strong, competitive team.
Duke is the only team
scheduled to compete against
Longwood before January.
Longwood travels to William and
Mary on January 20 and East
Stroudsburg on the 28th.

WUTA : Back On Track?
J. D. Almond and Jeff Hawkins team up to spin a variety of
albums.
By JEFF ABERNATHY
"This is WUTA — Longwood
College — 90.1 on your FM dial."
The DJ's voice is smooth and rich
as he speaks into the microphone
which is center stage for the
small, cubelike room. He is at
once confident and interested,
comfortable and soothing while
speaking to no one in particular
save his strange black ball
jutting out over a mass of
equipment.
He occasionally wonders if
there is anyone "out there, but he
maintains his composure. Not
knowing if anyone is tuned into
the station is a frequent worry of
Longwood disc jockeys — a small
and highly individualistic group
— but there is always hope that
some friends are listening in, if
no one else. Still it is with a slight
sigh of relief that he answers the
phone for a request.
Faced with poor funding and a
small group of supporters, the
Longwood Radio Association has
been plagued with inoperative
periods throughout the current
D J Stuart Moser at tbe controls ( Photos by Rollandini )
Lancer Edition Logo Designed
semester. The longest lasted
nearly four weeks, beginning
when the station's transformer
broke down in late October. Upon
returning to school in August,
Radio Association members
could not begin to broadcast until
new needles were bought for the
station's two turntables because
the old needles had been
damaged over the summer. Such
problems have been typical in
WUTA's four-year history.
Current vice-president Jamie
Mereness notes that the station
"lost a lot of credibility when we
went off the air."
Due to the small size of WUTA
and other college stations, they
are often overlooked by the
industry. "If you're a 10 watt
station, you're basically ignored
in the music business," Mereness
said. This means that
promotional albums and singles
are rarely received from record
companies. The station does have
a relatively small collection of
records, but for the most part
disc jockeys use their own
albums and tapes.
During the 1982-83 school year,
WUTA purchased two new
turntables, a reel-to-reel tape
deck, and a cassette tape deck
in addition to remodeling the
studio. This year plans were
made to purchase a new mixer at
a cost of approximately $3,000.
The mixer in use is over
thirty years old and inadequate
for the station's needs.
When members returned this
semester, however, they found
they had only $300 left from last
year to operate on for the '83-'84
school year. No representative of
the Association had applied in
March to the Student Activities
Committee for funding and no
money was allocated for the
radio station this year. All of the
remaining funds have been spent,
and the Association is now
applying for surplus funds.
In recent weeks WUTA has
experienced a ri.se in its listening
audience, which is documented
with a growing number of
requests being phoned in nightly.

In search of a logo for Lancer
Edition, the academic
departments of Art and Music
have successfully combined
talents to produce one such logo,
plus a graphic design to be used
as the Lancer Edition program
cover.
Art Professor Tamara
Mischenko's graphic design class
was asked to design a logo for
Lancer Edition; the designs were
judged by the show choir's
director. Dr. Lee Egbert and the
current members of Lancer
Edition.
Senior Art major, Kristen
Celmer's design was chosen as
the best, and will become the
designated logo. Kristen plans to
become a conmiercial artist after
graduating from Longwood.
Junior Art major, Patricia
Dewey's design, a sketch of three
spotlights, was chosen as the
cover for Lancer Edition
performance programs. Patricia
also plans to go into commercial
art.
This effort to help out campus
organizations will be repeated as
the class designs logos for The
Series of Performing Arts.
As Ms. Mischenko says, "This
is a good opportunity for two of
the departments of Fine Arts to
work together in an effort to
enhance the appearance of
printing concerning performance
groups."
However, President Jay Carey
still feels the station is "suffering
from obscurity. I think that
people don't know the potential
we have. Until they do, we're still
the lowly ten watt station that
nobody knows about, despite all
the hard working members."
The "five-year plan" for
WUTA may be a boost to 100
watts and stereo. Currently mono
at ten watts, the station's signal
is weak in comparison to that of
the 100-watt station at the
University of Richmond. New
equipment is needed, and
Association members are
anxious to work such expenses
into their budget.
At present, smaller problems
are being dealt with, such as the
station's interference with
Richmond's TV channel six
(WWBT). When both Farmville
station WFLO and WUTA are in
operation, reception of channel
six has been poor across campus
as well as in Farmville.
Interference between the two
stations has created a jamming
signal in the past, but WUTA
solved the problem last week.
Reception of WWBT is now free
of interference.
To solve WUTA's financial
difficulties, a meeting has been
set up with Vice-President for
Student Affairs, Phyllis Mable to
discuss the station's function on
campus and the need for funding.
In addition. Association
members "are striving to create
a fair and well balanced format . .
. for the Longwood student
body," said Mereness.
"I think we need to be more in
touch with the students ... we
want to have a good, professional
operation," added station
treasurer, Brad Schwartz.
After playing a request, one DJ '
gives the Selective Sei-vice a spot,
while another sings "America the
Beautiful" in the background.
"It's quick, it's easy, and it's the
law."
They finish the ad, crank the
Beatles' "Revolution" and get
ready for the next song.

HAPPENINGS
"We Aren't Shouting Anymore"
Doris Betts, winoer of the 1983 John Dos Passos Prize for
Literature, chats with well-wisher at a reception Nov. 21 at
Longwood's Alumni House. Prior to the reception, Betts read
from her short story, "This Is The Only Time I'll Tell It," which
was published In "The New Orieans Review" in 1977. Betts also
is the author of four novels and three collections of short fiction.
She teaches at the University of North Carolina.
Challenge ^84
CHALLENGE '84. a liberal
arts career fair for seniors from
Lynchburg College, Randolph-
Macon Woman's College, Sweet
Briar College, I>ongwood College,
Hanipden-Sydney College,
Virginia Military Institute,
Wa.shington and Lee University,
Hollin.s College, and Mary
Baldwin College was held
Wednesday, Nov. 9, from 9:30
a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Holiday
Inn South in Lynchburg.
Over 300 students from the nine
participating colleges attended
the all-day session which
provided them with opportunities
to talk to representatives from 30
companies, located nationwide.
The representatives spoke to the
students informally and
conducted individual
interviewing. There were also
several workshops taking place
throughout the day on such topics
as interviewing techniques,
dressing for success, and
business correspondence.
Joy Flowers, conselor in career
planning and placement at
Lynchburg college, noted that it
was the first time that the
colleges had sponsored a liberal
arts career fair but because of
the success of the event she was
sure there would be more held in
the future.
"I think that this is an excellent
way for students to find out about
employment opportunities after
graduation and to make those
important contacts that will help
them in the job search market.
All of the companies represented
were interested in students who
had a broad educational
background and the flexibility,
analytic and communication
skills that would qualify them for
a variety of jobs. I think this
underscores the long-term
benefits of the liberal education,"
added Flowers.

KENT, OHIO - Thirteen years
after four oi its students were
killed at the climax of the anti-
war movement, and after 13
years of almost unrelieved
confrontation between students
and administrators over how to
remember the tragedy, Kent
State University trustees finally
voted last week to work with
students to concoct and build a
campus memorial to the dead
students.
KSU's unwillingness to accede
to student and faculty requests to
build a memorial was arguably
the last vestige of the anti-war
movement of the sixties and
early seventies.
"We aren't shouting at each
other any more," says Steven
Thulin, now a grad student at
Kent State.
"The feelings of ill will have
largely disappeared," adds
Kenneth Calkins, head of KSU's
Faculty Senate.
The trustees voted to join
community groups and the May
4th Task Force — the student-
faculty group that has led the
long struggle to memorialize the
tragedy — in a committee to find
an appropriate physical
memorial to the slain students.
The students were killed on
May 4th, 1970. Students
nationwide had declared a
national strike to protest
President Richard Nixon's
sudden invasion of Cambodia,
which marked the first widening
of the war in Vietnam. The
reaction at home was marred by
occasional violence, some of
which occurred in the town of
Kent. Ohio Gov. James Rhodes
called in the National Guard to
maintain order on the campus.
But on May 4th, Guardsmen
abruptly opened fire on a
peaceful campus demonstration,
killing four and wounding nine.
The outrage and tension that
exploded at Kent State long
outlived the anii-war movement
and the war itself.
Ongoing lawsuits agains the
university and the National
Guard, and the university's often-
bungled efforts to downplay the
tragedy's significance in
subsequent years often
exacerbated the tensions.
Among the more notable
confrontations over the last 13
years was the university's 1977
proposal to build a gym annex in
the area of the shootings. The
proposal led to large protests and
sit-ins to try to stop construction
workers from starting. The gym
was finished in 1978 despite the
protests.
Kent State refused George
Segal's memorial sculpture,
which now is on display at
Princeton.
Also in 1978, a Cleveland
foundation commissioned world-
renowned sculptor George Segal
to build a memorial for the
campus.
But when Segal presented the
finished sculpture to KSU
administrators, they rejected it.
Segal's sculpture depicts the
biblical story of Abraham and
Isaac, showing an older man
holding a knife over a kneeling
youth, whose hands are tied.
"It was inappropriate to
commemorate the deaths of four
persons and the wounding of nine
with a statue which appears to
represent an act of violence about
to be conunitted," then-KSU
President Brage Golding
explained at the time.
Princeton quickly asked to take
the sculpture, and placed it on its
campus in 1979.
Golding then proposed to build
a Roman arch as a memorial, but
met almost unanimous
disapproval. Critics noted the
traditional military connotations
of the arch, while others
complained it looked like a
fireplace.
Golding withdrew the proposal,
and no substantial proposals
emerged for years afterwards.
About the only official
acknowledgments of what
happened at Kent State were a
library room dedicated to the
victims' memory, a small plaque
at the campus Hillel Foundation,
and an annual candlelight vigil on
May 3rd and 4th.
But last week's meeting
indicates times have changed.
"1 feel there is a more
receptive climate on campus
now, and there is a general
feeling that we need some kind of
public memorial, some kind of
physical thing," says Dr. Jerry
Lewis, a sociology professor and
advisor to the May 4th Task
Force, the student-faculty group
that unsuccessfully has pressed
the trustees for a memorial for 13
years.
"We've been through this
before," says Thulin, who used to
be a task force member. "But for
the first time, all the concerned
groups — students, faculty,
administrators, alumni — .seem
to be on the same general wave
length."
"The state of KSU," concurs
Robert McCoy, an English
professor who was a KSU vice
president under the Golding
administration, "is one that

The following is a segment token from o shorf sfory currently being
workecf upon. Il is printed here for the cons/derotion of Longwood
Students
Cathy woke with a thin line of red blood dried along
her lip. Her eye was swollen and she knew it would be
darker when she got back from her morning classes.
She knew that. Her tears stung the cut on her lip as she
stared at the bruised face in the bathroom mirror. After
washing the tears away she sat at her desk and put her
head gently upon folded arms.
Bill watched, not knowing what was wrong. Getting
out of bed he asked her. As she turned toward him
memories of the party rushed back to him. They were
blurred, dreamlike memories of anger and frustration,
but his picture was more vivid of hitting Cathy,
throwing her against the wall, screaming as she fell.
Memories of stuttering apologies came to him, and he
felt more guilty knowing it had all happened countless
times before.
And like all ot those times, Cathy had forgiven him
and asked him to come to her room. Like the other times
he told her that he loved her. "I love you, too," Cathy
had said before they went to sleep.
Bill got dressed and walked to her. He massaged
Cathy's shoulders. "I'm sorry. I really am, Cathy. I love
you." She closed her eyes and turned to hold him. Each
time it happened Cathy felt this way. She felt
responsible; "if only I hadn't said that, if I hadn't
forgotten to call..." The excuses never stopped. She
sometimes thought their "fights" never would either.
Cathy and Bill had been dating since their freshman
year. Her friends often wondered why she stayed with
him, but they never interfered except to occasionally
tell her how bad she looked. Bill's friends often consoled
him when he was angry at Cathy. "She's such a bitch
sometimes," he'd say.
Cathy woke up on a sunny Saturday morning in
Southside General. She had a concussion after falling
down a stairwell in her dorm late Friday night. No one
knew how it happened. She'd been found by a friend of
hers.
Cathy's parents were sitting next to her bed when
she opened her eyes. Her mother was crying. Bill wasn't
there. Later, when Cathy's father asked her what
happened, Cathy said that she couldn't remember.
Three days later Cathy came back to Longwood.
There were red roses in her bedroom and on the card
was written, "I Love You."

At Longwood
By JOYCE ROLLANDINI
The auditorium was full.
There was a tenseness for the
curtain to open. All eagerly
awaited for the classic story to
begin, not sure what to expect
from the production. The
lights dimmed, a hush fell, all
eyes opened wide and dared
not to blink. The curtain
opened with instant
applause. It was clear to the
overjoyed audience that the
performance would prove to
be "a visual masterpiece."
The antiquated setting was so
real, beautiful; "snow gently
fell upon the bustling,
energetic town. The city
street, full of cheery cheeked
children, last minute shoppers
and convincing peddlers. It
was as if looking back to one's
ancestral past."
The Longwood College
series of the Performing Arts
presented A Christmas Carol
on November 28, 1983 at 8:00
p.m. in Jarman Auditorium. .
Charles Dickens' cherished
tale was retold by the
Nebraska Theatre Caravan.
With a cast of thirty, a five-
piece instrumental ensemble,
vivid costumes and a most
impressive set, the stage of
Jarman became a living
"turn-of-the-century
Christmas card." Old, well"
favored carols were sung
throughout to add to the
dramatic atmosphere and set
the holiday spirit.
The perfect timing must be
commended. Surely those who
entered with an unfeeling
attitude, left remembering
that there is a special message
in Christmas.
If the smiles held by those
leaving Jarman said anything
at all it would be that of
refound memories and of
future dreams — "Christmas
in the mind of a child."

CAMPUS EVENTS
Collectables In Bedford
The ninth annual Craft
Collectables show and sale opens
Friday, December 2, in the
Bedford Gallery at Longwood
College.
The show spotlights the work of
12 Virginia craftsmen. Among
the works on display are
handmade baskets, pottery and
porcelain ware, jewelry and
small sculpture, functional
forged iron pieces, handwoven
clothing, pillows, fiber belts,
caps, and containers.
The public is cordially invited
to view or purchase these
"collectables." Gallery hours
are: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday; 2 to 5 p.m. on
Saturday; and 5 to 9 p.m. on
Sunday. The exhibit will close at 5
p.m. on Monday, December 12.
Steven Glass, resident potter at
the Virginia Museum in
Richmond, is showing functional
and decorative porcelain ware
with brightly colored slip
decoration. A graduate of
Virginia Commonwealth
University, Glass has studied
with Robert Eckels in Bayfield,
WI, and Myma Krasnik in Paris,
France. He was associated with
Craftsmen of Chelsea Court in
Washington, DC for two years
and has maintained his studio in
Richmond since 1980.
Alan Landis, a member of the
art education faculty at Virginia
Commonwealth University and
former head of the department, is
exhibiting jewelry and small
sculpture. He has sold his work,
particularly pewter pieces, in
shops and galleries in Richmond
and Midlothian and in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Handweaver Gretchen Rogers,
of Farmville, brings "beauty to
the every day" in her clothing
creations. She has been weaving
since 1971 but says that she has
"wanted to weave forever." She
finus in weaving "a way of
creations of the present."
Other fiber works in the show
are pillows and handwoven
scarves by Jan Russell, of
Charlottesville; fiber belts, caps,
and containers by Gertrude
Shook, of Keysville; and quilted
pillows by Homer Springer, of the
Longwood art facultv.
Ms. Russell is an adjunct
faculty member at Longwood this
year and also teaches weaving
and other fiber crafts at the
Virginia Museum. Ms. Shook has
taught many workshops and
crafts courses for Longwood,
Southside Virginia Community
College, and for school systems in
Chester, Roanoke, and Prince
Edward County.
Springer's quilted pillows are a
departure from his usual forms of
artistic expression. They are the
result of a "summer research
interest" in quilting and other
American folk crafts. Springer's
paintings, drawings, and mixed
media works are well known in
the local area and have been
exhibited in Richmond, Roanoke,
and other areas of the state.
Carol Edmonson is showing
"natural" baskets, made of
grapevine and honeysuckle, and
ceramic whistles. A 1982
graduate of Longwood, she is the
wife of Randy Edmonson and
currently teaches art at Amelia
High School.
The handwoven oak baskets in
the show are the creations of
William W. Wilkinson. He is a
member of the PCAB Crafts
Cooperative, an association of
senior craftsmen in Prince
Edward, Cumberland, Amelia,
and Buckingham Counties.
Peter O'Shaughnessy, a full-
time production smith with
headquarters in Vesuvius, VA,
has been creating candleholders,
trivets, hooks, and other
functional forged iron pieces for a
Jazz Band

What kind of place is a
classroom to build a
contemporary, well-rounded
taste in music? Most of the grade-
school music classes you grow up
with don't offer much hope do
they? They'll hand you "Comin' -
Round the Mountain," warmed-
over opera or foreign lullabies
and waltzes until music looks like
a terribly bland and spineless
waste of time.
How different from all that is
the Longwood Jazz Ensemble?
Well, their repertoire of material
for practice includes rock, Latin
and swing styles, plus a medley
of Big Band material. A 1982
Grammy nominee, "Birdland,"
composed by John LaBarbera,
pianist for the rock group
"Weather Report," is also
scheduled for performance. The
band, taught and conducted by
Frank Coffey, has even played
original material in the past, and
has tentative plans to do so this
Spring.
The band has acquired a fine
reputation, according to Mr.
Coffey, having received a Chi
award in 1978, and performed on
request at a winery as well as at a
basketball game for Liberty
Baptist College, the latter having
been in the spring of this year.
Coffey himself, however, has
only been with the band since this
August. His previous jobs include
teaching band in Appomattox,
and teaching flute playing at
Sweetwater.
The band members seem to
take an enthusiastic interest in
what they do, although the best
possible playing can demand
diligent daily practice for
months. Gigs that the band hopes
for in the near future include a
Spring Weekend concert here at
Longwood behind the Lankford
building, and a concert at the
Holly Manor retirement home,
Students' goals for joining the
band are varied, although more
than one of them has found good
preparation for a career in what
they have learned. Linda Scharer
is aiming to prepare for a career
in music teaching as well as
learning to play the saxophone
better. She enjoys playing jazz
and the way it makes people feel
good. Brian Jungen, in his own
words, is playing "for fun", but
does have the larger goal of
eventually joining the Madison
Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps.
Theresa Fowler, the band's
president, had no comment on
career goals, seconded the idea of
the band's playing for Holly
Manor, as well as some high
schools, and notes that the hours
demanded for practicing with the
band do not conflict with other
classes.

Use And Abuse
Drinking At Longwood
By KRIS HODGSON
In recent years alcohol has
been a major part of campus life
here at Longwood. Beer is served
at most social functions, such as
mixers, concerts, and fraternity
and sorority parties. Although
soft drinks must be served at all
functions, these are not well
publicized and kept back in the
comer where they are hard to get
to. Students have grown to accept
alcohol as a part of their
activities, and therefore its use is
becoming more widespread.
Barbara Gorsky, StUu nt
Development Educator for
Longwood, is in charge of
implementing plans to reduce
alcohol use and abuse. Since she
has only been here since August,
she is not as acquainted With all
the activities yet, but she feels
that Longwood has no more
problems than anywhere else.
"Students here are very open
about alcohol and drug problems
in their families or with
themselves," she said. There is
no support program for students
when they are having problems
with alcohol or dealing with
someone else who has problems
with alcohol or drugs, she added.
In a survey of 20 students, all
but one strongly agreed that
drinking is an important
socializing mechanism on
campus. Out of six males and 14
females, all agreed or strongly
agreed that some activities are
more important than drinking,
and that drinking should not be
the major activity of parties.
Four out of 20 surveyed drank to
build up their confidence, while
16 drank to escape pressures.
Only two felt pressure just to
drink, and no one drank for social
acceptance.
To solve some of the alcohol
problems, Ms. Gorsky has many
ideas.
"Alcohol needs to be de-
emphasized on campus," she
said. "A good way to do this is to
have parties without alcohol,"
she added.
Ms. Gorsky and RA's have
talked about having hall
activities to educate students
about alcohol and having
activities without alcohol. A peer
support group for students that
have problems, or for friends of
students who have problems with
alcohol is needed, she said.
"I feel that a support system is
also needed for drug users, but
since marihuana is illegal a lot of
the situation deals with the
judicial board or the police," she
said. "Students have left the
college because their roommates
had drugs, and we need to
eliminate this kind of practice.
Since alcohol is not illeghal and
its use is more widespread, I
would like to deal with that issue
first."
Until these programs go into
effect, there are many things the
students can do to help, she said.
These include:
Make sure that there is an
alternate beverage that is
appealing to students who don't
drink and keep it out where the
alcohol is served.
Have foods that won't make a
person more thirsty.
Serve high protein foods, such
as cheese and bread, since these
foods absorb some of the alcohol.
If someone is drunk and getting
out of hand, act responsibly and
help them to their room — the
best thing to sober them up is
sleep, but make sure the person is
lying on his side and not on his
back.

By JEFF ABERNATHY
Hunter Thompson is back in
not-quite-so-rare form with a new
book in "gonzo journalism"
style, The Curse of Lone. It is the
tale of Thompson's journey to
Hawaii with his fiancee and
illustrator Ralph Steadman and
family. As in Thompson's earlier
work. Fear and Loathing in Las
Vegas, the journey turns into a
crazed, twisted, drug-induced
{ adventure. Unlike Fear and
Loathing, however, the book
apparently does not accomplish
whatever it may have been
Thompson set out to accomplish.
On the whole, the book is a dull,
slow narrative of Thompson's
vacation in Hawaii, which, true to
gonzo style, is vastly
exaggerated.
The first give-away to the basic
weakness of this book is the back
cover, on which Thompson's four
earlier works are praised by
other big names, Kurt Vonnegut
and William Buckley included.
"Paddling each other's boat" as
it were, and the publishers of The
Curse of Lono are trying to put a
200cc engine on Thompson's skiff.
Second was the fact that the
work is "profusely illustrated in
black and white and blazing color
by Ralph Steadman."
Steadman's drawings are superb
— they are typical Steadman,
horrible and wondrous at once.
They aid the plot of the narrative
well, but, unfortunately, they al-

Thompson's writing is not
uncommonly confused, but it
fails to come to a central point at
the conclusion or elsewhere in
The Curse of Lono. It is another
of Thompson's weird tales, but
falls far short of the superior
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I would not, however, deny
Thompson's creative genius. His
writing can be hillarious, and it
often is:
"What are you talking about?"
Ralph screamed. "The Dumb

Outward Bound Adventure
"Have you been drinking?
Please don't drive...pleaser
Over 8,000 men and women,
both adults and students, will
take part in a unique program
called "Outward Bound" this
year. Designed so that
participants will meet
challenging experiences in
wilderness settings. Outward
Bound courses take place year-
round in sixteen states. While
many come to Outward Bound
seeking a taste of high adventure
— and they'll probably get it —
most will leave with a new
understanding of themselves
after discovering they are
capable of doing things they
might previously have thought
"impossible." Outward Bound
believes many limits are self-
imposed.
Mountain backpacking,
canoeing, skiing and
snowshoeing, sailing, kayaking,
cycling, rafting, and even
dogsledding form the core of the
Outward Bound experience,
depending on the environment in
which the course takes place.
Previous outdoor skills are
unnecessary, as is special
equipment other than personal
clothing and boots. Each small
group of students has one or more
expert instructors and specialists
who help them develop outdoor
and interpersonal skills,
culminating in a "final
expedition," with minimal
instructor supervision, relying on
what they have learned during
the course. Academic credit is
often available, as is financial aid
based on need. In addition,
several Outward Bound schools
offer no-interest tuition loan
plans, some for up to three years.
Outward Bound courses are
offered year-round and last from
4 to 30 days. For information,

Career Night In Business
impaired Driver Alert* CB Radio Channel 9
Career night in business was
held in Jeffers Auditorium on
Monday, November 7, 1983
starting at 6:30 p.m. The opening
session was an inspiring
inspirational by Dr. Wilfred
Jacques who is chairman of the
Business and Economic
department at Longwood
College. After his welcoming
speech, the students had a choice
of two out of four sessions to
attend.
One of the sessions was
accounting in which Cheryl
Parks was the guest speaker. Ms.
Parks was a 1980 longwood
graduate in this field. Presently,
she is financial control manager
at F&M in Richmond.
Finace was another field of
choice of sessions to attend.
Susan Harwood, who was the
guest speaker, is manager of the
First Federal Savings and Loan
in Farmville.
Mr. Harry Schneider, a faculty
member at l^ongwood, spoke on
the field of management. Frank
Gilbert, director of marketing
research at A.H. Robins in
Richmond, was the guest speaker
for marketing.
The concluding session dealt
with what the employer expects
of you in which Steve
Musclewhite was the speaker. He
is presently working at
Shenandoah Life Insurance
Company in Roanoke. Mr.
Musclewhite feels that a goal for
students is to get work after
graduation and they have to
prepare academically for this to
be a professional. The reasons for
bringing these employers to
Longwood is to give out
information to student.s and to
allow the employers to see the
students so they might consider
hiring them after graduation.
A reception followed the
.sessions in which everyone got to
talk to each of the speakers
individually.

the game. Elon handed
Longwood its worst loss since last
December Saturday night on the
road 81-64.
Contributing to Longwood's
demise against ' Virginia Union
and Elon was the illness of second
leading scorer Lonnie I^ewis. The
6-3 forward missed the Union

Coach Mary Whitlock was
thrilled with Longwood's
performance. "We were all

said Whitlock. "Everyone rode
exceptionally well even though it
was raining. We (Longwood)
really had a great day!"
Freshman Lisa Nelson
received the individual high point

Longwood received several
ribbons in the intermediate

Unbeaten Lady Lancers
Host Appalachian Wed.
Longwood's women's
basketball team, off to its best
start since 1976, plays at
Hampton Institute Monday night
and hosts Appalachian State
Wednesday night to close out its
pre-Christmas action. The
contest with Appalachian tips off
at 7:30.
The 3-0 Lady Lancers notched
two wins last week, beating
Concord on the road Monday
night 67-64 and holding off
Virginia Commonwealth 74-72
Wednesday behind some late
game heroics from Karen Boska
and Florence Holmes. The last
time Longwood got off to a 3-0
start was 1976 when the Lady
I.^ncers won their first four
games before losing.
First year coach Shirley
Duncan says she had no idea
before the season started that her
team would be where it is now.
"Being new on the job, I had no
idea what to expect from our
team or the competition, "said
the coach. "We just try to take all
the games one at a time."
In the win over Concord
freshman Caren Forbes scored 23
points and fellow-guard Robin
Powell scored 12. The Longwood
guards, both of whom are
shooting at a school record clip
from the floor, combined for 34
points against VCU, hitting 16 of
32 shots.
Freshman center Boska,
averaging 11 points and 11
rebounds, put Longwood ahead
for good against VCU 73-72 with a
bucket at the 59 second mark.
Then Holmes, in her first action
since recovering from an illness,
came through with a key steal
and free throw with five seconds
left to sew up the win.
Forward Valerie Turner pulled
down a whopping 17 rebounds and
scored nine of her 11 points in the
second half to aid the win. While
Forbes is averaging 18.3 points to
lead Longwood, Turner is next
with a 14 ppg mark and 14.7 rpg.
Powell is scoring 13.7 ppg while
hitting a phenomenal 57.6 of her
shots. As a team, Longwood is
hitting 44.6 per cent of its shots.

Grapplers Face
Lynchburg, VMI
Longwood's wrestling team,
with its ranks reduced by illness
and injury, travels to Lynchburg
for a dual match Wednesday
night and to Virginia Military
Institute Thursday night in action
this week.
Friday and Saturday Coach
Steve Nelson's team competed in
the Washington & Lee
Invitational Tournament, but
Longwood was able to send just
six healthy grapplers to compete.
The top lancer wrestler was
sophomore Tim Fitzgerald who
won three out of four matches to
finish third at 118 pounds.
Fitzgerald lost his first match 10-
9 and won the next three by
scores of 6-5, 7-6 and 124. Among
his victims was the 118 pounder
from Division I VMI.
"Tim did very well," said
Coach Nelson. "He faced touch
competition, but he met the
challenge for the most part."
Winning at least one match for
Longwood were Mike Hackett at
126 pounds, Scott Gregory at 177
and Chris Douglas at 134.
"We're having a tough time
with our injury situation and the
kids who have quit," said Nelson,
"but we still have several good
wrestlers and they are doing
well."
The Lancers may have to
forfeit three of four weight
classes in this week's matches
against Lynchburg and VMI.
Juniors Steve Albeck and
Chuck Campbell have decided to
leave the team.
Case, Foster, Bubnis Named

Forbes Leads Victories;
Named Player Of The Week
Freshman guard Caren Forbes
scored 23 and 18 points to help
Longwood's women's basketball
team notch two wins last week
and for her performance, Forbes
has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period November 25-
December 2. Player of the Week
is chosen by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
Forbes has averaged 18.3
points per game in Longwood's
first three games while helping
the Lady Lancers get off to their
best start since 1976. Teaming
with senior captain Robin Powell.
Forbes has given Longwood its
most effective outside shooting in
recent years.
The 5-6 freshman is shooting
56.5 per cent from the floor and
has handed off 16 assists.
A graduate of Middle Township
High School in Rio Grande, N.J.,
Forbes was a prep standout in
tennis, basketball and softball.
The leading scorer in school
history, she accumulated 1,460
points in her career. She also
earned All-State honors after
averaging 19 points per game her
senior season.
QUOTE-OF-THE-WEEK
Spanish lady comes to me . . .
She lays on me this rose.
If rainbow spirals round and round,
it trembles and explodes.
It left a smoking crater of my mind,
I like to blown away,
but the Heat came round and busted
me for smilin' on a cloudy day.
—Jerry Garcia
Mute Student8
(Continued from page 2)
acknowledges the events of what
happened here."
Faculty President Calkins
attributes the change of heart "to
the time that has passed, a new
administration (Michael
Schwartz succeeded Golding in
1981), and new people on the
board of trustees who don't feel
as closely involved with those
events."
Lewis attributes it to the
imveiling of the Vietnam War
Memorial in Washington, D. C.
last year. Once the nation has
begun to put the war in
perspective, the logic goes, it can
put the domestic convulsions
over it in perspective.
The trustees' willingness to
find an appropriate memorial
isn't official yet. I^st week's
meeting technically was of a
board committee, not the full
board. The full board, however, is
expected to approve the proposal
to build an appropriate memorial
at its next meeting in mid-
December.

Student Newspaper Is
Back In Black
Required: Dickens^ Copperfield
Reported by Jacqueline Smith
Rotunda writers and staff
members, frantic with despair
over seven weeks' absence of
Longwood's newspaper, came
together today to publish this
semester's first issue. Soon after
the December 6 issue came out.
Rotunda editor Johnel Brown
was told by Longwood's Vice-
President for Student Affairs,
Phyllis Mable, that the
newspaper was "banned" until
financial difficulties were worked
out.
The financial problems were
the result of an oversight on the
part of the 1982-83 staff. The
editors of last year's paper
neglected to apply for funding for
the current year from the Student
Activities Committee, a mistake
which led to a forty-five hundred
dollar debt at the time of the
December 6 issue.
In late January, the current
editors applied to the Student
Activities Committee for fund-
ing to pay the debt and continue
publication in the current
semester. The committee,
headed by Susan ToUiver, then
appropriated funds sufficient to
cover the debt and to print
through early March. The editors
then applied for funding from the
emergency reserve fund, which
resulted in a sufficient amount to
continue publication throughout
this semester. Thus, The Rotunda
will be on a regular publication
schedule until May.
Another problem which has
concerned Rotunda editors is the
small number of staff members
who publish the newspaper. The
regular staff was limited to four
last semester, but Ms. Mable and
Mr. I. B. Dent, Director of
Student Activities, conferred
with the English department to
arrange a meeting last week for
all students interested in working
for The Rotunda. While only five
students attended the meeting, a
large number of students signed
a list in their English classes
expressing interest. Four of the
five students who came were
given assignments, and all five
are now reporters for the
newspaper.
Also introduced at the meeting
was Dr. Jack Haberstroh, the
new adviser to the publication.
Haberstroh, a professor at
Virginia Commonwealth
University, has had seventeen
years of experience in mass
communications and has been
the owner of various
publications. Dr. Haberstroh
observed that Longwood students
should have been upset over the
printing delay because "even
though they don't pay a cover
price they have already paid out
of their activities fees."

Longwood students enrolled in
freshman English courses came
to class this semester toting a
nine-hundred page Victorian
serial novel. Charles Dickens'
David Copperfield was chosen by
Longwood's English Department
because, according to
department head Massie Stinson,
"We want every student to have
the experience of reading and
understanding great works of
literature from our culture."
Student reactions ranged from
frustration to enthusiasm.
Longwood junior Drew Decker
wasn't worried about the choice.
"The impression I got was that it
was chosen because a large
proportion of the English faculty
hadn't read it. I guess they
wanted to be as surprised as the
students about what happens
next. Over the course of a
semester, what is 900 pages? It
shouldn't be a problem for most
students."
Others were anything but
complacent. One student who
declined to be identified,
commented that Copperfield is
completely unnecessary and
irrelevant to non-English majors.
For a freshman English course,
it's pointless. They should at least
choose an American novelist.
What made them choose David
Copperfield, why not Moby Dick?
It's an interesting idea but I don't
see the reasoning behind the
choice."
The novel will be read in
installments over the course of
the semester and up to exams.
These assighments are in
addition to other reading
including plays, poems, and short
stories. To deter students from
not reading the entire work,
owners of the college bookstore
have agreed not to sell Cliff Notes
on Copperfield.
In an interviev/ with the
Richmond Times-Dispatch Dr.
Stinson said, "We want our
students to get beyond the 28-
minute attention span of
television situation comedies. In
this course they will have to know
well a work . . . which took its
original Victorian audience a
year and a half to read."
Some students feel they
shouldn't be required to read any
faster than those Victorian
readers did. One student com-
mented, the novel "is too
detailed, too big to cover in one
semester. There are shorter
books on the same level that we
could read." But another student
in the same class retorted, "I
don't think it's that bad. I like the
characters, and reading by
installment helps!"
Whatever the students'
judgment may be, the English
department is committed to
upgrading its requirements and
enriching its total program. The
move has gotten stories in
newspapers around the state, and
the English department is
pleased. Dr. Stinson saw this as
"the beginning of Longwood's
emphasis on traditional
learning."

GYPSY — A Musical Fantasy At Longwood
with something for everyone.
Based on the memoirs of the
stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, the
story line traces the life of Gypsy

By JERRY DAGENHART
Broadway is coming to
Longwood in the form of the
musical fantasy Gypsy. Gypsy is
Paula Moore as Gypsy Rose Lee and Diahn Simonini as Madam
Rose in rehearsal for GYPSY .
childhood, in Vaudeville to the
peak of her career at Minsky's
Burlesque House. The action
ranges from boys and girls
auditioning for Uncle Jocko's
Kiddyshow to Bumps and Grinds
from the strippers who dawn the
stage of the Burlesque house.
The cast of Gypsy includes
many veteran Longwood
Players, and some very talented
newcomers.
Miss Paula Moore, a senior at
Prince Edward Academy, brings
to the title role an air of vibrance
and beauty that has not been seen
on the Longwood stage in quite
some time. Paula, who is a native
of Prince Edward County, was
last seen in The Waterworks
Players' production of The
Fantasticks.
The role of Gypsy's mother,
Rose, is portrayed by Ms. Diahn
Simonini, in her 152nd role.
Simonini, whose father was the
Head of the Longwood
Department of English for 13
years, has been a Longwood
Player since age 10. She has
guest performed at Longwood in
Hamlet and Angel Street. Ms.
Simonini is currently teaching
English and Creative Writing at
Buckingham High School, and
she is the Artistic Director for the
Buckingham Youth Theatre
Touring Company. She brings to
Gypsy a wealth of experience;
she is a union actress, she has
toured with the U.S.O., and she
was active in summer stock for
nine years including work with
the Barn Dinner Theatre. She
also served as the student liaison
officer for the National-
Repertory Theatre.
Rose's nervous, ulcer-plagued
boyfriend, Herbie, is portrayed
by Longwood junior Curt Walker.
Curt was last seen as the
bumbling Dr. Diaforous in The
Imaginary Invalid. Herbie is
Walker's first major role and his
characterization creates a won-
derful balance between the roles
of Gypsy and Rose.
The production is being guest-
directed by Mr. Thorn Williams,
a member of the faculty at
Longwood's Department of
Music. Williams is a very active
vocal soloist, and he is also very
involved in the theatre. He was
last seen in the role of "Quixote"
in the Richmond's Department of
Recreation and Park's pro-
duction of Man of La Mancha.
Gypsy is being produced by
The Lognwood Players in
accordance with the departments
of Music and Speech and
Dramatic Arts, with a great deal
of support from the Farmville
community.
This musical fantasy
extravaganza will open
Thursday, February 23, and run
through Saturday, February 25.
Curtain time is at 8:00.
Admission is free to Longwood
students with I.D.'s, all other
students $3.00, faculty and groups
of 10, $2.00 and general admission
is $5.00.
The cast of Gypsy is expecting
a successful run and would
appreciate the support of the
student body.

Editor:
Just a quick note in response to
the article entitled, "Drinking at
Longwood" in the December 6
edition.
It was stated that there was no
support program for students
having problems with alcohol or
dealing with someone else who
has problems with alcohol. I
know the intent of that article
was referring to emergency
kinds of support systems and
support systems within the
residence halls.
I want to emphasize however,
that there is a support program
specifically geared for students
who are being affected by alcohol
problems that significant other
people are having. The group is
run by a young woman who
volunteers her time and who
comes from a background
situation that is somewhat
similar. This group meets weekly
at 7:30 on Tuesday evenings. You
can contact the Counseling
Services (392-9235) for further
information regarding it.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1984 THE ROTUNDA Page 3
By BRIAN DORSEY,
KELLY SICKLER,
RONNIE SINFELT
Last Thursday night, the Gold
Room was graced by the
presence of Josh White, Jr., a
veteran folk singer, philosopher,
and performer. Although the
audience was small, the
atmosphere was warm and
friendly, and the entertainment
was inspiring. As White said,
"we've never really had quantity
at Longwood; but always
quality."
White's songs dealt mainly
with the meaning of life and the
hardships that it presents. His
success is due partly to his ability
to make people laugh at their
weaknesses. His repertoire
includes songs from many
contemporary artists who write
about "the things we don't like
facing."
White grew up in Harlem,
which helped give him his
realistic outlook on life. He began
to play the guitar at the age of
four and has been playing ever
since. Part of the credit for
White's joy of playing goes to his
father, also a folk singer, whose
song "Old Man" sold over a
million copies in the 1940's. He
was the first black man in the
country to accomplish such a
feat.
All-in-all, White related well
with the audience, almost on a
one-to-one basis, he was
personable, warm, and friendly.
White's songs were not only
entertaining but also
enlightening. The audience
related to White in the same way
that White related to the
audience. White was quoted as
saying that he "only tunes for
people he likes." He left the Gold
Room with a standing ovation!
''Corners" — A R

spectrum
"Corners", a one-act play
written by Longwood
and Longwood
member Jacqui
rainbows the
of black history.
Leading the audience from the
period of American slavery
through the dehumanizing
effects of segregation, her
work concludes in the black
cultural advancements seen in
recent years.
The play's five actors, Jo
Smith, Sylvia Gorham,
Barbara Abernathy, Terence
Scruggs, and Kevin Hobbs,
attempt to show the changes
which took Black Americans
four hundred years to
accomplish. This in itself is
the work's major flaw. The
actors are constantly
changing to adapt to the roles,
which progress from a slave
whose son has been sold and
then moving to three young
black girls' comical ren-
dition of the Supremes.
The action is too swift for the
actors to keep up, and the
audience is lost in the attempt.
A lengthening of the one-act
would improve the work as a
whole and would make its
performance more enjoyable
for the audience.
The performance of the play
was weak, as the actors
stumbled in their lines, on
three occasions requiring cues
to continue but the dialogue
was, in parts, sincere and
fresh. The actors brought the
audience from humor, as the
girls sang off key Diana Ross,
to pathos over the news of Dr.
King's death. The
playwright's ability to take
the script through such
opposing emotions is to be
commended, and the actors
did well in the performance of
these particular segments.
Terence Scruggs was
particularly good in the
performance.
The dialogue involved swift
changes between the actors,
but it was performed slowly,
with occasional missed lines
which served to slow it down
further. Singleton's work is
significant, but as the actors
lost character in the one-act,
its effect was weakened.
Jarman's intimate studio
theatre demands a good
eview
performance, for the actors
work practically in the laps of
the audience, and any
mistakes are multiplied
greatly. The message of the
play was for black and white
members of the audience
alike, "cultural differences
are the spice of life," but a
large part of it quoted sixties'
and seventies' black slogans:
"The blacker the berry, the
sweeter the juice . . . Black is
cool, black is good, black is in,
black is beautiful."
Singleton, whose full-length
play. The Breaking, was
recently performed in New
York, helps to operate the
Calhoun Theatre in
Richmond, which gives black
playwrights and actors a
chance to work. It is one of
three such companies in
Richmond, where Singleton
feels black actors need
separate theatres to have a
legitimate chance to work.
It was a disappointment that
the audience was
predominately white because
the company was here Sunday
in commemoration of Black
History Month.
Josh White, Jr. in concert.
Black History Month
In the past few weeks
Longwood has presented a
number of films, lectures, and
concerts honoring the
contributions of black Americans
to U. S. heritage. In February of
1909, the NAACP was founded in
Niagara Falls and in February of
1965 the Selma to Montgomery
march took place under the
leadership of Martin Luther
King, Jr. The month of February
is an important one to blacks
across the nation, and Longwood
College is honoring Black History
Month, which would have been
unthinkable twenty-five years
ago when Prince Edward County
officials refused to integrate their
educational institution by closing
the doors of all public schools in
the county.
Appearances by black singer
Josh White, Jr., whose father was
the first black man to sell over a
million copies of one record, and
Jacqui Singleton, a Longwood
graduate whose one-act play,
"Comers" was performed by
Richmond's Calhoun Theatre'
Company in Jarman have
highlighted the month. Upcoming
events include a guest speaker in
the Prince Edward Room at 5:00
on Wed., Feb. 22 as well as an art
department film on dancer Paul
Taylor to be shown February 27

Charles Pace As
^^The Young Mr. Douglas
99
By JERRY DAGENHART
On Monday, February 6 at
8:00 p.m., the Series of the
Performing Arts offered the
Longwood student body Charles
Pace's The Young Mr. Douglas, a
one man show in two acts.
Mr. Pace, a vibrant black
actor, recreated the life of the
political genius Frederick
Douglas. The performance was
well attended and although there
were some problems with the
basic flow of the production, it
was largely successful.
Mr. Pace gave a great deal of
vitality and passion to the role of
Douglas. This was possible
because of his. learned scope of
the show's basic theme which he
developed with an evident
balance of both his own feelings
and Douglas', on the ascention of
the black man, and the struggle
for freedom. The show traced
Douglas' life from childhood to
the underground railroad, where
he escaped the tyranny of
slavery, and finally to his success
as a political spokesman.
The overall message of the
performance was enlightening
and inspiring. At a reception
following the performance. Pace
gave students an interesting
discussion of the black actor and
the acting profession. The Series
of the Performing Arts provided
another evening of culture which
was stimulating and
entertaining.
The Kim and Reggie Harris Group performed in the Snack Bar Saturday and Sunday nights to a
receptive audience.

HAPPENINGS
Sexual Assault
By JOYCE ROLLANDINI
On Sunday, February 19,
Campus Police Chief Eric
Shoemaker came to the
Cunningham complex and
gave a lecture which included
a film and discussion on what
one should do if confronted by
a rapist. Chief Shoemaker is a
graduate of William and Mary
with a Bachelor's in -
Government, has a Master's
in Administration of Justice
from VCU, and is now working
on a Doctorate in Public
Administration. He is a
firearms instructor and a
karate student. Having been a
Criminal Investigator,
Investigative Supervisor snd
Director of Pohce Training
School and this having been
his tenth rape talk at
Longwood, he was
knowledgeable, informative,
and quite interesting. Chief
Shoemaker states that there
is never a surefire way to
prevent a rape from actually
occurring; however, he was
positive as to the effects a
woman can have on the degree
of a rape.
The major part of Sunday
night's program was the
showing of a movie, which
keyed in on the profile of the
rapist as well as giving some
"tips" on what to do if
confronted. Much of the
information was perplexing
and contrary to what one may
think. For example, weapons
for the most part were not
advised due to the fact that
they are inaccurate, not al-
ways usable, and they are
hard to get to quickly. The
same goes for screaming and
struggling which works only
50 percent of the time, leaving
the other 50 percent to be
beaten, raped and sometimes
murdered. The movie empha-
sized martial arts as being the
best protection and at the
same time noted that every
woman's study of the martial
arts is unfeasible. Not all
women would take the time,
others are unable. Tips given
which are more realistic
ranged from fainting to more
violent forms of protection
such as poking the eyes and
squeezing the groin.
Unfortunately, every assault
is different and no one solution
works every time.
Chief Shoemaker has a
great deal of information that
yields important insights into
the psychological nature of
this criminal behavior. The
thought of being raped
frightens and disturbs us as
does no other crime. However,
being educated to the facts
and possible methods of
protection are the first steps to
prevention and survival of an
attack.

Puppet Therapy Helps Others
Anne Hammond surrounds
herself with dummies, puppets
and make-believe voices. But
what she does is serious.
Hammond, from York, Pa., is a
senior majoring in therapeutic
recreation at Longwood College.
She has created a puppet therapy
program that she tried out during
an internship last summer, will
use in another internship, and
plans to use in her career.
"I'm going to make puppet
therapy a proven field. I want
others to see that I'm innovative,
not crazy."
Hammond has accumulated a
large collection of puppets and
dummies since childhood. She
believes that they can be
effective therapeutic aids in
working with certain special
populations, among them
psychiatric patients, the
mentally handicapped and
children.
"It all started when my mother
showed me a newspaper article
about a ventriloquist who worked
with a dummy in a hospital," she
recalled. "She used it to help
bring out the patients' emotions,
which is what I try to do. Puppet
therapy, though, is still
considered new and
experimental."
The 21-year-old collegian first
tried her program last summer
when she completed an
internship in the psychiatric unit

of York Hospital. She asked
patients to choose puppets and
then describe their emotions and
careers through the puppets.
"I proved it works. You could
tell a lot by which puppets they
chose and what they had them do.
This isn't for everybody, but it
can be used for a lot of different
populations."
Usually Hammond works with
a group, although she also can
work in a one-on-one setting. She
will use puppet therapy again in
an internship at Seashore
Children's Hospital in Atlantic
City, N. J. The semester-long
internship, which began Jan. 16,
involves working with children
who have various illnesses and
disabilities.
Hammond's pioneering work
with puppets was mentioned in
the November-December 1983
issue of "Newsy Vents," the
newsletter of the North American
Association of Ventriloquists. She
is a longtime member of that
organization.
For Hammond, puppet therapy
is the outgrowth of a lifelong
hobby.
"When I was nine years old, I
got my first dummy and started
teaching myself ventriloquism,"
she said. "My mother is
interested in puppet theater, and
both she and my father
encouraged me a lot. And my
grandfather built us kids a
puppet theater. I did shows in the
neighborhood with my first
dummy."
"It's easier to pick up
ventriloquism when you're
young. Even now, I sometimes
walk around singing or talking
(as a ventriloquist). People don't
know who it is."
She has tried her approach at
several Special Olympics on the
Longwood campus. "I've been in
charge of clowns at the annual
Special Olympics here. Last
year, I had a life-sized monkey
puppet. There was one kid who
was really withdrawn and
wouldn't talk, but when he saw
that monkey he wouldn't shut up.
He followed the monkey around
all day, talking to it. The kids will
come out of themselves."

The Tribe's Betsy Becker tied the
game at 64-64 with 0:45 left.
Forbes, Longwood's top scorer
with 23 points, swished a base line
points and 13 rebounds.
"What can you say when it's
the game that puts you in the
record book," said Longwood
coach Shirley Duncan, who took
over the team in early October.
"It feels super. Each of our wins
have been great, but there was a
one. It was Robin's (senior Robin
Powell) last game and she did a
good job for us despite being
injured."
With two games to go in the
regular season, Duncan has led
Longwood to its first winning
season since 1977-78, and now her
squad is the winningest in school
history.
The Lady Lancers play at
Liberty Baptist Tuesday night at
7:30 and at Delaware State
Friday afternoon at 2:30.
Longwood will then play in the
VAIAW Division II Tournament
March 2-3 at Radford.
Gymnasts Compete
Three Longwood gymnastics
records were set last week as the
Lancer gymnasts picked up two
victories and a loss, to improve
their record to 4-5. The gymnasts
will be preparing for the state
meet this week, which will be
held Saturday at James Madison.
Joining Longwood and JMU in
the state meet are Radford and
William & Mary, two teams
which defeated Longwood earlier
in the season. The Tribe only beat
the Lancers by two, and
Longwood coach Ruth Budd felt
the I^ancers might have beaten
Radford if her gymnasts were -
healthy.
Kelly Strayer and Lisa Zuraw
set Longwood gymnastics
records Saturday at Towson.
Strayer scored 9.2 on floor to win
the event and set the new mark.
Strayer also finished first on
beam and in all-around. Zuraw
set the new school record on bars
scoring 8.7. Zuraw tied Strayer on
vault for second, placed third on
beam, and placed second in all-
around. Kerri Hruby placed third
in all-around and second on
beam, to help the Lancers defeat
Towson 160.95-159.50. The
Longwood team score was a shool
record

Freshmen Play Key-
Roles In Lady Lancer Success
The 1983-84 Lady Lancer
basketball team is winding up its
best season ever with a 15-7
overall record. Playing an
important role in this success
have been four freshmen on the
squad: Karen Boska, Caren
Forbes (Rio Grande, N.J.),
Melanie Lee, and Reeva
Spradlin.
Two of these young athletes
have played in all but one of
Longwood's games, while Boska
has played in all 22.
Boska, at 6-1, is the starting
center for the team. She is the top
free throw shooter with 77-6
average (59-76). Her best game
came in Longwood's 70-64 win
over Randolph-Macon. Boska
had 13 points and 15 rebounds.
She has 178 rebounds for an
average of 8.5 per game, ranking
second on the team in
rebounding. Boska ranks first on
the team in blocked shots with 21,
and has had 28 steals.
Longwood's coach Shirley
Duncan calls Boska "probably
the most intense and dedicated
player on the team." Boska was
also a very dedicated athlete at
Fort Hunt High School,
averaging 11 points and nine
rebounds per game.

against Towson — second on floor
(8.8).
Thursday Longwood finished
second in its tri-meet edging
Western Carolina 155.85-155.30.
North Carolina State won the
meet with 171.85. Kelly Strayer
led the Lancers once again,
placing second on beam, fourth in
all-around (32.95), and fifth on
beam (8.1). She also tied for
fourth on floor.
Former AU-American Dayna
Hankinson missed both meets
with an injury, but hopes to make
the state meet Saturday. "She
should be able to practice this
week to prepare for the meet,"
said coach Budd.
Sonya Knur, Debbe Malin, Kim
Owens, Cindy Weinstock, and
Shay Woolfolk also competed for
Longwood during the meets.
Coach Budd was very pleased
with the team's efforts gainst
Towson. "Dayna (Hankinson)
was out and everyone pulled
together," said Budd. "we
performed well as a team."
After the Virginia state meet
the Lancers close out their
regular season at home in a tri-
meet with George Washington
and Pittsburgh-Johnstown March
3 at 3:00.
Longwood's Gray Stabley performes a vault in Thursday's meet with NC State and Western

Longwood Grapplers Finish Up At 6-9
Longwood's wrestling team
closed out an up and down season
last Tuesday with a 40-9 loss at
the hands of Division I Campbell
University. The grapplers were
led by Tim Fitzgerald who won
his match 11-1 at 126 pounds and
by David Crouse who pinned his
opponent at 134 pounds.
Fitzgerald ended up with a fine
18-9-1 record overall at 118 and
1^ while Chuck Campbell was 10-
fr-2 for the year. Crouse was 8-12,
Billy Howard 11-9 and Tom
Gilbert 8-9.
"I thought we wrestled well,"
said coach Steve Nelson.
"We survived a lot of
misfortune this year in terms of
injuries and illness," the coach
continued. "We had to forfeit
three weight classes in most
matches, but the wrestlers we
had worked hard for the most
part. If we can get some depth in
the upper weights for next
season, we'll be much
improved."

Lancer Cagers One Win From
Finishing 2nd In Mason-Dixie
When Mount St. Mary's visits
Longwood Saturday night in the
regular season finale for both
leams, second place in the
Mason-Dixon Conference regular
season race and the resulting
first round bye in the league
tournament will be one the line.
The Lancers' 74-55 win at
Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday
afternoon assured Coach Cal
Luther's squad a shot at ending
up second in the league
standings. Longwood, with its
third straight conference win, is
now 6-3 behind first place
Randolph-Macon (8-1), while the
Mount is in third place at 4-3.
Should the Lancers beat Mount
St. Mary's Saturday night (tip-off
is at 7:30), LC would clinch
second place. If Longwood
finishes second, it would receive
a first round bye in the MDAC
tournament along with Randolph-
Macon. The tourney is set for
March 1-3 at The Mount. The
Mounties host UMBC Wednesday
and visit Liberty Baptist Friday.
Longwood, 13-11 heading into
Monday night's home game
against Atlantic Christian, will
bid farewell to senior cagers
Jerome Kersey and Troy Littles
Saturday night. The two players
will be making their final
appearance in Lancer Hall.
Kersey, the leading scorer and
rebounder in the Mason-Dixon
Conference, holds eight
Longwood career records,
including marks for points,
rebounds, blocks, steals and
dunks. Currently, he has 1,692
points and 1,114 rebounds in four
years. He is averaging 19.3 points
and 13.9 rebounds this season.
Littles, a key reserve on the 1981-
82 squad, sat out last season with
a knee injury, and just rejoined
the team in late January.
Despite the final score (74-55)
Saturday's win at Pittsburgh-
Johnstown was a tight struggle
most of the way.
Trailing 38-33 at the half,
Longwood took the lead for the
first time with 9:23 to go on a
bucket by Kevin Ricks 5049, and
outscored the Mountain Cats 24-6
the rest of the way. The Lancers
scored 41 second half points to
just 17 up UPJ.
Kersey led the way with 23
points, 17 rebounds, seven
assists, eight steals and two
blocked shots. Kersey scored 15
points in the second half, and had
a key assist to Lonnie Lewis
which put the Lancers up 52-49.
The 6-7 senior had plenty of
help from Lewis (20 points),
David Strothers, 14 points and six
rebounds, and several other
Lancer cagers. Lewis (4-4) and
Strothers (6-6) helped Longwood
hit 20 of 26 free throws. The
Lancers made 13 of 19 in the
second half and also hit 14 of 21
shots from the floor in the second
period.
"I was^ extremely pleased with
our play in the second half," said
Longwood coach Cal Luther. "It
took a great effort to come back
from a five-point halftime deficit
on the road. Our defense was
outstanding. Not only did we hold
them to 17 points in the second
half, but our defense also helped
create several easy buckets.
"This was a satisfying win
because it gives us a chance to
play at home with second place in
the league on the line," he said.
"Finishing second is very
important because it would give
us the first round bye in the
tournament."
Junior David Strothers scores in win over Liberty Baptist on
February 11.
Freshman Play Key Role
(Continued from Page 6)
Forbes, a point guard, is
another consistent starter.
According to Coach Duncan,
Forbes has taken well to the point
guard position, and her outside
shooting is a key factor also. She
is scoring an average of 12 points
Lancer, Forbes had eleven Her most impressive game came
assists, breaking Longwood's against Hampton Institute early

Forbes has made 30 steals.

with 87. She has also been named
Player of the Week.
Lee was captain of the Indian
River High School basketball
team her junior and senior years.
She averaged 17.5 points and
eight rebounds per game,
earning All-City and All-Region
honors.
Spradlin, a guard, has seen
action in 14 games and is known
for her hustling style of play.
Coach Duncan noted, "It took
competition to show that Reeva
has the ability to take on the point
guard position, directing the
offense and the play. She's an
impressive player."
Spradlin averaged 8.3 points
per game at Albemarle High
School, excelling also in softball
and volleyball.
The young athletes have all had
impressive careers in high school
basketball, but have had to adjust
to a faster and more intense
game in college. "These
freshmen had to adjust a lot this
year," said Coach Duncan. "For
example, Melanie and Karen
(Boska) were probably the tallest
players and now their opponents
are often taller."
"The game is a lot faster," Lee
notes. "In high school, there are a
lot of average players and a few
good ones. Here most of the
players are very good." Boska
agrees, "The players are more
intense; the pressure is greater."

LONGWOOD COLLEGE
TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1984
NO. 10
By JEFF ABERNATHY
In response to notification from
the Virginia Council on Higher
Education, five Longwood
faculty members were sent
notices of termination on
Thursday. The Council notified
Longwood administrators that
five faculty and four classified
positions would be cut at
Longwood by budget voting in the
Virginia Senate this week. The
budget bill has already passed
the House, and if it passes the
Senate, will likely be signed into
law by Governor Chuck Robb.
The College administration is
legally bound to notify faculty
members of termination by
March 1. In an interview Friday,
Longwood President Janet
Greenwood said "We have done
everything we can do. There is a
possibility that we could get some
positions back." But Vice-
President of Academic Affairs
noted that it would be "highly
unlikely" that the positions would
not be cut.
The decision of which faculty
members would be sent
termination notices was
reviewed by the Committee on
Allocation of Academic
Resources which made a
recommendation to Haltzel.
Haltzel then conferred with Dean
Faculty Cuts
of Faculty Ned Conway, and sent
a recommendation to Dr.
Greenwood, who approved the
final cuts.
The faculty members sent
notices were untenured and their
contracts were up for renewal.
"It is important, however, to
emphasize that in no way is this a
negative indication of their
performance," said Haltzel. The
five cut were: A. Moffett Evans,
technical director of Jarman
theatre, Camille Tinnel, of the
English department. Christian
Akponwei of the Business
Department, Cindy Peake and
Karen Hubbard of the Physical
Education Department.
Judy Johnson, Chairman of the
Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation Department, said
"While I can understand the cuts,
it really doesn't make it any
easier to accept." Two of the
seventeen faculty members in
her department were cut.
"This is devastating because of
the simple facts of numbers,"
Johnson noted, "We will have to
be creative. I really don't know
what we will do."
Massie Stinson, head of the
English, Foreign Language and
Philosophy Departments,
expressed similar concern.
"We're trying to enhance the
quality of the program, but it
hurts when we have to add
students to our classes. I think it
will affect the quality of
instruction in English if the cuts
go through."
Mrs. Tinnel teaches English
grammar classes "which are
critical in our department,"
Stinson continued, "and they're
not classes which all of us are
prepared to teach."
Hardest hit by the cuts was the
Speech and Drama Departments,
headed by Patton Lock wood. One
of the Department's five full-time
faculty members was notified of
his termination. Drama major
Jerry Dagenhart was outraged
by the termination of Evan's
position. "Although Haltzel
promised me that I would still be
able to receive my degree in
dramatic arts from Longwood, I
seriously doubt it as many of the
course requirements which I
have not yet received can only be
taught by a technical director.
Even if I did receive a diploma it
would be worthless to me."
Although Haltzel declined to
speak specifically on the
individual decisions, President
Greenwood justified the choice of
Evans noting, "There are
smaller departments (than the
Speech & Drama Dept.) on
campus." Greenwood also said
that, though the Allocations
Committee consists of no
members of the student body, its
composition "is under review,
and I am anticipating changes
being made." The Committee is
composed of five members of the
faculty and Dean Conway.
Haltzel pointed out that "For the
first time at Longwood the
teaching faculty has played an
important role in the allocation of
faculty positions."
However, some students
expressed dismay at the
administration's system of
allocating positions. Earth
Science major Jim Pittman said.
"He (Haltzel) has not even
thought about the students," to
which Drama major David Miller
added "They don't have any idea
how many students these people
come in contact with."
The final decision on the cuts
will be made Thursday in
Richmond. Faculty and
administration members alike
are hoping the vote will reverse
the termination notices. As Judy
Johnson observed, "You always
have to hope right up to the last
minute that it won't happen."
Student Health Services Broaden Scope
By JOHNEL BROWN
The Student Health Services,
archaically called the Infirmary,
has gone through some major
changes in the past year. Besides
being relocated from Tab'b to
Graham, the Student Health
Center is now headed by Barbara
Agee, a nurse practitioner. A
nurse practitioner differs from a
registered nurse in that the
position requires additional
training, and can prescribe
medication under a physician's
orders.
Agee anticipates many
innovations and improvements in
the Student Health Service, and
already there are new services
offered that were never before
available. Throat cultures,
mononucleosis tests, urinalysis,
tetanus shots and pregnancy
tests are now all offered free.
Immunization Clinic
The Student Health Center sent
out notices last month to students
informing them of the new
immunization policy. The college
is now requiring students to
present proof of rubella and
measles vaccinations before they
will be allowed to register for fall

Miss Longwood
By JERRY DAVENPORT
On Friday night, March 3,
glamour and beauty dawned the
stage of the Jarman stage in the
form of the Miss Longwood
Pageant, "Moving On." The
pageant, emceed by Miss
America 1979, Mrs. Kylene
Barker Brandon, was the result
of many hours of hard work on
the parts of the contestant and all
of those diligent people behind
the scenes, namely the Executive
Committee.
After the competitions of
talent, swimsuit and evening
gown were completed, the panel
of judges, after much
consideration, reached the
following conclusions: The third
runner up, and the winner of $100
scholarship and an official Miss
America trophy was sophomore
Kimberly Ann Kenworthy who
was sponsored by Kappa Delta
sorority and Perini's Pizza. The
runner up and winner of a $^
scholarship and an official Miss
America trophy was sophomore
Gayle Arpe, who was sponsored
by Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, and
Town and Country Furniture
Warehouse.
The first runner up and the
winner of a $500 scholarship and
an official Miss America trophy
was Elizabeth Ann Chalmers who
was sponsored by Kappa Delta
Sorority and Roses. The second
titles of Miss Congeniality and
Miss Longwood were bestowed
upon the lovely Miss Denise Rae
Chilton who was sponsored by
Alpha Delta Pi and Baldwin's.
Denise received a $1000
scholarship, a silver bowl and an
official Miss America trophy.
After Miss Chilton was
crowned Miss Longwood 1984 by
Miss Longwood 1983, Miss Robin
Elder, the audience was invited
on to the stage to express their
congratulations. The evening was
one that enabled Longwood and
Farmville to become a threshold
for the Miss America Pageant.

Just once at Saturday night's Miss Longwood
Pageant, I wanted to see a contestant slink up to the
microphone and say, "Hello, I'm a twenty year old
junior at Longwood majoring in sociology. I plan to
dedicate my life to the feminist movement, and my
biggest dream is to start a lesbian rights organization in
Farmville." Just once I wanted to hear that.
Unfortunately, all ten of the contestants disappointed
me. Their comments were pleasant and sweet, mostly
about living unselfishly and saving the world; stuff like
that. They were wonderful, All-American girls. My
hopes were dashed.
The Miss Long^wood Pageant is as farcical as the Miss
America Pageant. The logic behind the pageant is as
ludicrous as that behind the idea that women are
supposed to be attractive, unintelligent social beings.
Gains made in women's rights in past decades, despite
recent setbacks, have been many, and beauty pageants,
or perhaps you prefer to call them scholarship
programs, serve only to undermine these gains.
If, indeed, Saturday evening's event was a
"scholarship program," one must wonder why the
judges needed to see the contestants prancing about the
stage in high heels and bathing suits. How often do
these girls study in beach attire anyway?
And, if it was not merely a beauty pageant, why
weren't there blacks, hispanics, cripples, and one-eyed
gargoyles on stage? And, why then, weren't there any
males? Certainly there are some scholarly males on
campus. The contestants for this "scholarship
program" were a rather restricted lot at best.
One must wonder why this pageant is so important to
the Office of Public Affairs and of Career Planning.
These two offices are both deeply concerned with
image-that all-mighty springboard to success, fame,
and most importantly money.
For the Office of Public Affairs, the Pageant is purely
a wonderful event. Ten attractive Longwood females
jumping about on Jarman's stage must project a
wonderful image of Longwood's students.
If we can get everyone thinking that the majority of
Longwood's students are just as fresh, beautiful, and
talented as these students are, then maybe the checks
will start rolling in. The College will get lots of money
and everybody will be overjoyed.
The Office of Career Planning might be more
interested in involving itself in programs which affect a
larger percentage of Longwood students. Though the
lives of these contestants are certainly important, they
are no more so than those of the homeliest male or
female on this campus, neither of whom, we must
admit, has a prayer of becoming a finalist in the Miss
Longwood Pageant. The Pageant affects the Careers of
an incredibly small percentage of Longwood students,
which should in itself steer the Office away from the
event, It does not, however, and a great number of
students do not benefit from the Offices programs as the
Pageant goes rolling happily along.
The Miss Longwood Pageant serves to work against
the progress of our college. It is an archaic tradition
which lives past its own time, though this is not an
uncommon occurrence in Farmville. It is interesting to
note that this is an administration, which came to
Longwood with promises of progress and change,
continues to support a beauty pageant at Longwood.

Once againVirginia is the forerunner of conservatism
— pioneering for all to follow.
Yes, it's true that a federal law was recently passed
that denies federal aid to students who have neglected to
register for the "selective service."
And as if this law weren't enough to scare any left-
over draft-dodgers into registration, Virginia has come
up with its own reinforcement.
A bill went through the State House of
Representatives that would deny not only state aid but
entry into state colleges to students who've resisted
registration.
The House passed the bill on a 67-33 vote. The bill is
now in the Senate awaiting final vote and then it will go
to the governor's desk for his final signature of
approval.
The state has found it necessary to impose its value
system on the people and also to impose sanctions to
those whose idealogies differ. Obviously, the state
doesn't see itself capable of enforcing the law with
standard legal sanctions. The threat of being
imprisoned or fined is not enough. In addition the equal
opportunity for education will depend on compliance
with state "morality."
And if a student does not believe in supporting the
selective service, the draft or war, he will have to
compromise those beliefs to still have rights to a public
education.
The government, justified by the realm of legality, is
imposing morals through law. 1984 is here and George
Orwell is cashing in his tickets.
JDB
Your Turn
Dear Editor:
The frequently echoed
statement "Man, Longwood is a
cultural wasteland, and there is
never a damned thing to do on
campus," will soon be more true
than not. The reason is quite
simple. Jarman Auditorium,
perhaps the cultural hub of
Longwood and the Farmville
community, is in grave danger of
losing its technical director. In
fact, the technical director
position has already been cut
with little hope of reinstatement.
This cut is part of a group of cuts
which include four other
professors in different
departments. Jarman
Auditorium cannot function as a
working theatre without a
technical director.
Jarman's stage, in the course
of an average school year, is the
host of various forms of
entertainment ranging from rock
groups like the Robin Thompson
Band to world premier plays like
Espers Well to events such as
Miss Longwood. Aside from the
performances and entertainment
elements, the building houses
class activities, statewide debate
tournaments, academic
assemblies. Honor Code sign-
ing and numerous other
academically oriented events. In
effect, every performing or
congregating organization on
campus is directly dependent
upon Jarman.
Perhaps the most damaged by
this loss is Longwood's
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts. The department
is at a point where "Everything is
coming up Roses" to quote
Stephen Sondheim. However, if
the position of technical director
(Continued on Page 3 )
TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1984
THE ROTUNDA Page 3
Your Turn
Technical Director;
A Dream
(Continued from Page 2)
is not reinstated in its entirety,
this rose garden will be ravaged
and its beauty will soon whither
and die. Well, as the character of
Pozzo states, in Waiting For
Godot by Samual Beckett,
"That's the way things are in this
bitch of a world."
If this "bitch" of a world is to
change, certain actions must be
taken. We cannot blindly accept
decisions that are handed down
from the administration as if they
are stone tablets from "The Lort
Almighty." Every student on this
campus has something to lose
from this poor judgement, and it
is every student's duty to take
action against it.
It is evident that the decision to
cancel the position of technical
director for Jarman Auditorium
has come after a great deal of
painstaking deliberation,
however, that does not mean that
the decision is beyond rebuke. If
Longwood's campus is to
maintain a degree of cultural life,
not only for its student body but
the surrounding community as
well, Jarman must function
properly. In order for Jarman to
function as a cultural facility it
must have a technical director.
The ball is now in the court of
the student body. If this ball is not
taken and used to achieve the
necessary goal, then it will
become a goal for those who
champion apathy.
Concerned and Infuriated,
Jerry L. Dagenhart
"Parking Place Blues
99
Letter to the Editor:
In case you did not know,
Longwood College Cashiering
and Student Accounts charges
$5.00 a week late charge for not
paying your parking ticket within
7 days upon receiving it. Of
course if you become angry and
wait three weeks to pay this
ticket then you will have to pay a
late fee of $15.00. But, the catch
is, if you do not pay in four weeks
or possibly longer than that, then
you only have to pay a mere
$15.00 late fee. This is in addition
to the $6.00 parking fee of course.
So, some of you lucky soles might
not have to pay this extra charge.
Why you may ask? Well it just so
happens that not everybody in the
Cashiering and Student Accounts
Office charges this fee. So by all
means, go to the lady who doesn't
charge — but even I don't know
who that is, I was one of the
unlucky souls who was charged
$21.00 for a parking ticket.
As you have noticed, campus
police are really cracking down
on the parking situation. Yet, we
still do not have enough parking
facilities for this campus. By
assigning each student a
specified area, campus police
hoped to help the student parking
situation, but if you are like me,
you don't like to park at campus
school when you come home late
at night, so you pick a closer
place to your dorm, only to be
surprised the next morning with
a glorious ticket. I guess campus
police could not help you if
something happened while you
were walking back from campus
school, because they would be too
busy catching up on sleep so they
can give out as many tickets as
possible the next morning.
There is some good news
however, on light of this subject.
If you just so happened to receive
a parking ticket FIRST
SEMESTER, then you do not
have to pay any late fee at all.
WHY? THAT IS A GOOD
QUESTION. But, of course the
answer is written in the
wonderful Longwood College
Handbook, the book with all the
answers. If by chance you
received a nice letter from
Cashiering and Student Accounts
at the beginning of this semester,
for the tickets you received last
semester, then you do NOT have
to pay the additional $15.00
even though you might be paying
off a ticket you received over 10
weeks ago. I am sure that all of
this makes sense to you, because
I understand it perfectly.
Please pay your tickets at once
to avoid that late fee, it does not
take long for $15.00 to add up, so
why pay a $21.00 ticket when you
only have to pay $6.00?
Also, if by chance you want to
try and appeal that ticket you
must do so within seven (7) days.
Otherwise, it is too late.
Even though your chances of
getting out of paying the ticket
are slim, if you want to try to
fight the board then do so — and
good luck to you! After all this
way Cashiering and Student
Accounts will have to wait longer
than 7 days to receive your
money. I don't know what they
will do without receiving that
$5.00. They really need it. So give
them a hard time, and make
them wait! Can you imagine the
gratification you will get by
telling them you do not have to
pay the extra fee because you
tried to appeal the ticket?
A Student without
a Parking Place
Mandatory Vaccinations:
A Straight Dose
To The Editors And The Student
Body:
With today's start of
compulsory vaccination at
Longwood, students need to be
aware of the medical, legal, and
political aspects of measles and
rubella vaccination. Much
information has been available in
the New Smoker on the subject.
Contrary to what one might
assume from the information in
the new Smoker, complications
from measles and rubella
vaccines are quite common, the
occurence of fever in measles
vaccinated adults runs at five
percent to 15 percent on the sixth
day following vaccinations. The
American Society of Hospital
Pharmacists reports the fever
will be 101 F. to as high as 104.
The major complications of
rubella are worse. The chances of
having temporary arthritis runs
20 percent. Other complications
of the vaccine include rashes,
malaise, sore throat, headache,
general aches, cough, eye pain,
inflammation of the lymph nodes
and development of a cold.
A more serious but less likely
complication is the possibility of
a form of encephalitis that results
in degeneration of the brain for
which there is no cure.
In light of the above facts, the
compulsory vaccination of school
children for measles and rubella
was stopped for a number of
years. It should be noted that the
vaccination laws were for school
children and college students
were exempt. The matter of
colleges making their own
vaccination policy was tried in
Wallace v. Regents of the
University of California. The
court held that colleges could
pass vaccination rules if 1) there
is an emergency that indicates an
imminent epidemic and that the
policy be subject to judicial
review, and 2) the disease is
prevalent in the community.
Since there has been a 45 day
period that has lapsed from the
announcement of the policy to the
day of vaccination, and the 8
month period before it becomes
compulsory, it is clear how
imminent the epidemic really is.
What, then, is the rationale for
risking the students' safety or for
that matter ignoring their
personal rights? This question
and the above information was
taken to the originator of the
policy, Phyllis Mable.
On January 27, a meeting was
held in the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs. In
attendance were Ms. Mable,
Barbara Agee, Head of Student
Health Services, and myself.
Beyond the reaction to an im-
minent eipidemic, during the
talk only one valid reason for the
vaccination policy
came out. The reason given was
that if there is an outbreak of
measles or rubella among the
faculty, staff, or members of the
local conununity and they could
link its cause to the college, then
the school would be held liable.
The Longwood College Student
Health Update reaffirms the
college's standpoint of cost first
and the rights of individuals,
their health, welfare, and
possibly their lives comes
second.
When I confronted the
administrators with the
possibilities of complications
their response was one of apathy.
When I confronted them on the
legal and moral aspects, again
their response was apathetic.
If you are planning to be
vaccinated you should know the
following: If you are pregnant, or
plan on becoming pregnant in the
next 3 months, don't take either
vaccine. The effects of the
vaccination on the fetuses have
been catastrophic.
If you receive the rubella
vaccine you may develop joint
problems and should take it easy
until it passes. Finally, don't sign
away your rights. If you are
injured by the vaccine and sign
away your rights you may not be
able to receive damages.
If the administrators continue
to place the financial welfare of
the college above the rights and
the welfare of the students, action
will have to be taken. The matter
of whether to take a drug or not is
a personal one, and giving the
power of eminent domain over
human body is a last and
desperate resort. When
administrators can determine
what drugs the students must
take they have overstepped their
bounds. Worse still is that this
decision comes from someone
whose motives are school
finances, not the welfare of those
governed. It is for this reason,
that I feel Phyllis Mable has
mismanaged her position and
should be removed from this
position. For, in the final
analysis, whose body is it?

Artist Of The Month
The Roommate Game
February
The Longwood Art De-
partment's Artist - of - the
Month for February 1984 is
Rebecca Silberman, a
Sophomore Art Major who is
working toward a B.F.A. with a
studio concentration in painting.
Rebecca is a second - time
recipient of this award, which is a
monthly competition open to all
art students at Longwood
College.
Her winning work, entitled
"The Youngest of Us, Michael,"
is an involved collage based on a
fragment (the cut-out of her
younger brother, Michael) from
a watercolor begun as a class
assignment. Completed over the
Christmas holidays, the painting
is heavily laden with symbolism
and, to a lesser degree, color
expressionism. It is concerned
with depicting an emotional and
spiritual perception of her
brother as representative of the
five Silberman siblings' infancy
through youth.
In addition to the two first-
place- Artist-of-the-Month
awards, Rebecca was one of the
1982 recipients of the Visual Arts
Performance Scholarship in the
Freshman year at Longwood,
and one of two winners of the 1983
Virginia Estes Bedford Memorial
Scholarship.
Rebecca is the daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. William Silberman, of
Leesburg, Virginia.

The Longwood College Art
Department's Artist-of-the-
Month for March 1984 is Jennifer
Byers, a Sophomore Art Major
who is working toward a B.F.A.
degree with a concentration in
Graphic Design.
Jennifer is the daughter of Mr. [
and Mrs. Donald Byers of Aldie,
Virginia, and a 1982 graduate of
Ivoudoun County High School
where she was a member of the
Art Club and on the
Crossed Sabres, the literary and
art magazine.
At Longwood, Jennifer has
been on the Dean's List, and
served as the art editor for Gyre,
the college's literary and art
magazine. She was a member of
ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA
Freshman Honor Society and
received a certificate of
recognition from the Honor
Society of PHI KAPPA PHI.
Miss Byers' winning
watercolor painting, entitled
"The Bridge," depicts a friend
and his young son fishing. The
bridge itself is used as a symbol
of the unity and love between
father and son. This painting will
be on display in Bedford Building
through March 30.

Nancy Jo Easley, the R.F.C. in
the colonnades, faces a panel
consisting of some of the most
unique 12 freshmen in the
colonnades, who supposedly have
only known each other for the
past 1 Ms semesters, and answered
questions like: "What is your
roommate's most favorite
sexual fantasy?" "Who is a
better lover, you or your
roommate?" Pat Shultz said, "I
don't know, we haven't done it
yet," about his roomy, Spencer
Souffer. Pat and Spence came in
last place, but did supply a never
ending flow of comedy to the
game. Pat said they played in the
game because "we were on a
mission from TABB 3rd floor"
and that they came in last
because, "we didn't cheat."
The girls were asked more
composed questions, like: "What
color underwear is your
roommate wearing now?"
(although none of them had to
prove if they were right); "What
appliance does your roommate
remind you of: a mixed up
blender, a frigid freezer, or a hot
oven?" most said the blender.
"How many times has your
roommate broken visitation?"
and a few others. David Glovier,
the first floor TABB R.A.
purposely made the guys'
questions a little harder to
answer. Nancy Jo says, "we
thought we could get more
personal with the guys because
they are more proud of what they
do."
Nancy Jo is a senior this year,
and is now on the Colonnade Hall
council; they decided they
needed something fun to do in the
dorms. Nancy Jo ran the game in
South Cunningham a couple of
years ago when she was an R.A.
there. Cathy Wilcox started a big
game in the Colonnades a few
years ago, which helped build up
the game's popularity.
After last week's game Nancy
Jo said, "We were really
surprised at the big turnout,
because no one signed up. We had
to start turning girls away
because we had too many."
There was a total of six teams for
the girls and for the guys, plus
score keepers. Each question had
a number of points assigned to it,
the team with the most points in
the end won. The game was based
on the T.V. version of the
Newly wed Game. They were
always close games. John Kersee
and Scott Estes of first floor
TABB won for the guys and
Cindy Engelman and Lori
Richardson of French won for the
girls. They each received
"Longwood College" mugs as
their prize.
Nancy Jo says next month they
are planning a family feud game.
People will form teams, dress up
again, and make up a family
name to test their wits in the
dorms and possibly in a campus-
wide competition. The hope to
have at least one game each
month in the Colonnades, such
as: the dating game, a field day,
or an outdoor cookout. Nancy Jo
expects a good turnout for the
dating game because she says,
"It's always real fun to watch
people get embarrassed."

German At Work In Sociology Department
Written by:
W. W. EDWARDS, III
Reported by:
JACQUELINE SMITH
Dr. Jurgen Nowak usually
makes his home in the massive
urban sprawl of West Berlin,
Germany. For the '83-'84 school
year, though. Dr. Nowak has put
up his shingle here at Longwood
as a visiting professor, under the
auspices of the College of Social
Work in West Berlin.
The Sociology department has
been greatly augmented by Dr.
Nowak's services as he is
instructing in Sociological theory
and other upper level Sociology
courses. He comes to Longwood
with fairly impressive
credentials, having received his
economics degree from the
University of Berlin and a PhD in
sociology from the Technological
University of Berlin. In his
college days, he traveled
extensively throughout Europe
and was fascinated by the
languages and cultures that he
saw. These experiences laid
much of the groundwork for his
interest in Sociology.
Presently, Dr. Nowak is
working on a manuscript titled
"Immigration and Minorities in
Europe and America." Using the
influx of Turks into his own
native Berlin as a case study of
inmiigrant minorities, he found
an interesting corollary here in
the U.S. with the Chicano
inrunigrants of Baltimore. He
recently visited Baltimore to see
Chicano family life first-hand,
and followed their activities from
dawn to dusk. The manuscript
should be finished in late April
and Dr. Nowak says that a few
publishers have shown a good
deal of interest in the project.
Aside from the sociological
observations he has made. Dr.
Nowak has noticed some aspects
of the American educational
system that he feels are not quite
up to par. One of the major

himself speaks Enghsh, French,

One other item that caught his
attention was the lack of

He feels that the students, or at
least the ones he has taught here,
are too reserved in the class

The new policy is in reaction to
the possibilities for an epidemic
since for a period the serums
used in the vaccinations were
ineffective, or shortlived. The
policy is a precautionary
measure on the part of the college
to prevent such a possibility.
Flu Outbreak
Southern and Southeastern
campuses were swept with an
outbreak of influenza in January
and February. Most cases
resulted from Russian Type A
flu.
Karl Kappus, Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta, said
that this particular form of Type
A first hit the United States in
1977. "There's not a heck of a lot
anybody can do to prevent it.
Longwood College was also
victimized by the epidemic.
Barbara Agee, Student Health
Services, said that they saw 790
students the last few weeks of
January, and 600 students the
first few weeks of February. Ms.
Agee estimates that 500 of those
cases were the flu.
She noted that "there were
probably many students we
didn't see, either because they
went to local doctors, or they
knew they had it (the flu) and
that there was nothing they could
really do about ii."

As I cross the small bathroom
bridging the distance between
myself and my college suite-
mate, I hear some power-
charged, high-decibal guitar
licks blasting off on the opposite
side of the wall. I can't place the
specific song that the guitarist is
practicing. It could be a tune
from Joan Jett, 38 Special or
Journey. Whatever it is, it's
aggresive, loud, professional and
highly danceable. It is definitely
not Memorex.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet
Mark Bass, Christian rocker.
The 20 year-old lead guitarist
for the rock band Ruth knew it
was time for our interview, and
obligingly set aside his guitar.
Among the assorted posters on
his wall was a picture of the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse and
a poster of Bill the Cat from the
biting "Bloom County" comic
strip, a long-time favorite of his.
Bass is a sophomore at Longwood
College, Farmville, Va. with a
be," he said. "It's like food. You
can overeat or undereat . . .
(Rock) can get sexual at times,
though." Yet there's nothing
sexual about the songs from
Ruth, some of which Bass has
written himself.
"Jesus, take this thorn away
Tell me what it takes.
'Christ has forgiven you,
forgive yourself'
Everyone makes mistakes."
—Mark Bass, "Ghosts"
"There's a feeling of power
that goes with singing or
speaking in front of an audi-
ence," Bass said. "I think it's im-
portant to use that poser wisely."
When asked how his stand on
Christianity compares with that
of the Moral Majority, Bass had
mixed feelings. "I'd say I'm not
as conservative as they are," he
said, although adding "I think we
could do without the pornography
and the alcohol ... I think they're
trying to do some good, though
I'm not sure if I agree with their
methods ... If you want me to get

gets on there attacking
contemporary music without
even knowing the facts."
Bass' interest in being a
musician began when he played
around with a cheap acoustic
guitar he had in his much
younger years in Pennsylvania.
He was eventually taught much
of the guitaring know-how which
has brought him through several
bands over the years by Dexter
Payne, the rhythm and bass
guitarist who is the leader of
Ruth. Payne and Bass have
alternated as lead guitarists in
the band. Other members of Ruth
include Billy Younger on
additional rhythm guitaring and
vocals, and Bobby Alderman on
drums.
Some of Bass' biggest
commercial influences in
guitaring include Ozzy
Osboume's late guitarist, Randy
Rhodes, as well as Eddie Van Ha-
len and Phil Keaggy, the letter
of which is a Christian rocker
whose best work recalls John
Lennon and Steely Dan. A tape of
Ruth in concert reveals melodies
that sound like vintage Doobie
Brothers' or 38 Special material,
while the reedy lead vocals sound
roughly like those of the AUman
Brothers. The band has been
searching for someone to play a
synthesizer with them, however.
Along with Bass, Dexter Payne
and former member Andy
Leonard write the abundance of
original material sung by the
band, with only rare exceptions
of borrowed material from other
Christian acts. Bass may mix
some secular material that he
has written into the act in the
future. Bass is particularly proud
of the band's name out of his
belief in women's rights. He feels
that the band should meet more
often for practice, yet he and the
band are very enthusiastic about
their work. And, as the tape
proves, so is their audience.

Gypsy
A Review
By JEFF ABERNATHY
Gypsy, a musical based on the
Tiemoirs of stripper Gypsy Rose
Lee was produced by the
Longwood Players and
Departments of Music and
Speech and Dramatic Arts
February 23-25. The production
nvolved a huge number of
actors, musicians, and crew
members, and it was a credit to
he Longwood Players and
Director Thomas Williams that
Lhe three-hour musical ran as
smoothly as it did.
Diahn Simonini, a resident of
Buckingham County, portrayed
well the role of Rose, the lead
part which Ethel Merman played
in the original production on
broadway. She portrayed the role
>incerely and was able to engage
he audience in Rose's dilemmas
as she forces her dream — to be a
successful performer — on her
daughters. Her singing, however,
.vas not equal to her acting. Like
nuch of the singing in Gypsy,
iimonini's was dull and did little
0 progress the musical. Her
singing parts should have been
cut down by the directors to make
jp for this.
Curt Walker, played the lead
male role of Herbie who watches
Rose's failures throughout the
musical. He was relaxed and
believable and perfectly got
inside of the role as well as
anyone on the stage. His singing
was rare, for which the audience
was thankful.
Playing the title role was Paula
Moore, who proved to be the best
singer in the cast. "Little Lamb",
the first song she sang in the
Hotel Rooms scene was best of
the musical and her singing at the
conclusion of the play was done
well. Her acting was fair in
comparison to that of Simonini's
and Walkers but after she went
from the youthful Louise to the
mature Gypsy she lost the
audience. In her attempt to act
sophisticated she was nearly
comical, and she lost character
on two occasions.
Some of the smaller parts were
also played well, Jerry
Dagenhart was very good in the
roles of Uncle Jocko and
Kringelein, and was wonderful as
Pastey — the effiminate stage
manager of Witchita's Burlesque
House.
The other members of Mama
Rose's Acting Troupe, Tulsa
(Robert Henkel) Yonkers (Sam
St. Phard) and Angle (Tony
Russo) were enjoyable on stage,
although the casting of Tulsa was
questionable.

Jim Scott was especially good

Cigar. The roles of the strippers,

were acted well, singing aside,
and Connie Watkins was
particularly effective in her role

and the technical work was good.
The backdrops were gorgeous but
the minimalistic set design could
have been improved upon. Mr.
Goldstone (Glenn Saunders) was
played more like a speed freak
than an agent of the Orphium

basically unorganized.
The musical as a whole was
slow and the audience was put to

Much work was needed on the
performers' singing, and if
possible the ehmination of some
of the songs would help.
The Longwood Players
attemped a huge production,
perhaps too much for the four-

a result the work was at times
cumbersome and uninspiring. It
was also, at times, an enjoyable

LANCER SPORTS
Lancers Notch 6th
Straight Winning Season
Longwood fell to Mount St.
Mary's 65-61 Friday night in the
semi-finals of the Mason-Dixon
Conference Basketball
Tournament as a late rally came
up short. Despite the loss,
Longwood finished with its sixth
straight winning season, 15-12.
The Lancers, second in the
Mason-Dixon regular season race
with a 7-3 mark, received a bye in
the first round of the league
tournament at Mount St. Mary's
home floor in Emmitsburg, MD.
The Mounties beat Pittsburgh-
Johnstown 110-75 in first round
action Thursday night, while
Uberty Baptist topped UMBC 80-
69.
After top-seed Randolph-
Macon dispatched the Flames 68-
51, the Lancers squared off
against the Mount.
Turnovers hurt Longwood from
the opening moments as the
Mounties took a 37-31 lead at the
half. The Lancers trailed 52-43
with 8:26 left when the
momentum shifted. Sparked by
six points from Lonnie Lewis,
four from Stan Hull and two from
Jerome Kersey, Longwood
outscored the Mount 12-4 to pull
within 56-55 with 4:49 to go.
Longwood had two golden
opportunities to take the lead, but
failed to cash in. Mountie Darryle
Edwards blocked Lewis' shot at
3:50 and Lancer guard Kevin
Ricks threw the ball away at 2:42.
Two free throws and a slam-
follow by Kersey made the score
62-61 with 17 seconds to go. The
Mount's Marion Cook made a
free throw with 10 seconds left for
a 63-61 edge. Cook, however,
missed the second attempt.
Kersey grabbed the rebound, but
fired a wild pass downcourt;
which was intercepted by Joe
Reedy. Cook got the ball back for
a layup as the game ended.
Longwood hit 11 of 12 free
throws, made 56.8 per cent of its
shots from the floor and out-
rebounded the Mount 27-26.
Turnovers were the difference in
the game as the Lancers turned it
over 20 times to 10 for the
Mounties.
Kersey, in his final college
game, had 22 points, 11 rebounds
and a school record seven
blocked shots. The 6-7 center also
had eight turnovers. Lewis
scored 12 points, David Strothers
11 and Hull had eight points and
six assists.
Strothers was 1-1 at the free
throw line to keep alive his streak
of consecutive free throws at 24.
The 6-6 junior made 63 of 72 at the
charity stripe during the season
for a Longwood best-ever .875 per
cent.
Kersey ended his career with
1,756 points and 1,162 rebounds, in
addition to 142 blocked shots, 248
steals and 93 dunks (all school
records). He also had 259 career
assists.
The loss put a damper on what
had been a strong finish for the
Lancer cagers, who won their
last five games in a row before
the tournament.
Randolph-Macon won the
tournament title, beating Mount
St. Mary's 67-62 in the finals

Greenwood Speaks in Open Forum
W.W.EDWARDS, III
News Editor
After a considerable absence
from the spotlight here at
Longwood, President Janet
Greenwood came back in fine
form this past week in an Open
Forum presented by the Student
Government Association. The
forum was well attended with
about 70 present, and the wide-
ranging topics were covered
pretty thoroughly, although
Greenwood's original statements
on certain issues tended to be a
tad vague.
Greenwood began by recapping
her efforts in the state legislature
to appropriate funds for the
College, explaining that this work
has kept her from being as
accessible as she would like to be
on campus. She bemoaned the
fact that Longwood is the only
four-year institution in the state
that has no full-time
representative at the Capitol, but
she said that her work in
Richmond as Longwood's voice
to the legislature was only an
interim measure until other ways
of functioning can be found.
Greenwood stressed that with the
General Assembly almost out of
session, she would be back to her
normal duties for the rest of the
semester and would be much
more visible on campus.
Tjhe question of budget cuts
and the fate of some of the
Academic departments were
high on the list of priorities for
most, but unfortunately
President Greenwood did not
have many concrete answers to
the questions posed on these
issues. She stated that the College
was trying to have some of the
positions that have been cut
reinstated, but that it was "not a
situation where there's any easy
solution."
The fate of the Home
Economics department is still
unknown at this time, and a
report from the Department is
now under study by the
administration. The only thing
that Greenwood would say for
certain was that "the College has
a commitment to the students in
that department, no matter what
the decision." She also added that
Longwood would be admitting
freshman Home Economics
majors in the fall, and it is
presumed that these freshmen
will be allowed to graduate in
their major.
Throughout the forum,
President Greenwood stressed
the positive, especially
concerning efforts being made by
the Administration in the area of
student services. She said that
special emphasis is being placed
on students with academic pro-
blems who stand to lose financial
aid, and those students who are
on differing degrees of academic
probation. Programs are being
formulated for those students
who may benefit from summer
school, and she promised more
availability of course work in
summer school.
Other topics that were
discussed were:
Quality of Students: In response
to worries from many students
that the quality of students at
Longwood is suffering, Michael
Haltzel (V.P. for Academic
Affairs) stated that the SAT
scores of incoming freshmen
have shown a slight increase and
that the quality was very high, in
his opinion. Dr. Greenwood

emphasized that admission
standards were the same for all
students and that the school
certainly had a vested interest in
keeping the quality of students
high.
Access for Handicapped
Students: Greenwood said that,
unfortunately, "We have to work
DR. JANET GREENWOOD
with the situation the way it is,"
and that increased access
renovations had to be
incorporated into already
scheduled renovations of school
buildings.
Lancaster Library: Answering
complaints that the contents of
the library are outdated. Dr.
Greenwood recommended that
students push their professors for
new or more volumes having to
do with that professor's
department. She also said that it
was hard to justify more
allocations for the library when
the student use was so low.
Housing: Greenwood covered a
number of considerations in this
area, but most of the policy
decisions on housing are based on
the requirement (by law) that the
College break even financially on
housing. She also added that
Greek housing is a very viable
option, but that is still in the long-
range planning process.
Fall Break: Greenwood said that
the decision to discontinue fall
break was reached by a majority
vote of the Department heads,
but she sidestepped a little by
noting that Phyllis Mable (V.P. of
Student Affairs) is working on
several progams that will make
the Longwood student more
willing to stay on campus. Among
these are proposed Snack Bar
renovations, and added Campus
Life attractions.
Parking: In an informal straw
poll of those present, an
overwhelmingly large number of
students expressed the opinion
that freshmen should not be
allowed to bring automobiles to
school to alleviate some of the
problems. Dr. Greenwood
expressed interest in this and
directed any recommendations
on parking to the Student Affairs
office.
Business Department:
Responding to queries about
accreditation of the Business De-
partment, Greenwood turn-
ed the floor over to Mr. Halt-
zel, who said that Dr. Jacques
was brought to Longwood with a
goal of accreditation, and they
hope to achieve that goal within
the next three years. He also
pointed out that Longwood is by
no means a pariah on the
accreditation problem, noting
that only 60 percent of similar

Administrators Field Questions
on Faculty Cuts
DAVID MILLER
Staff Writer
In response to overwhelming
concern over the recent faculty
cuts at Longwood, the
administration granted an open
forum last March 5. This question
and answer session conducted by
Dr.'s Greenwood, Haltzel and
Conway was organized for the
benefit of the faculty and
students who were in question as
to the nature of the decision.
Dr. Haltzel's opening
statement summarized the
mechanics involved in
determining which faculty
members were eligible to be cut.
As the floor opened for
discussion, Dr. William Frank, of
the English Dept. inquired as to
why the following alternatives to
the cuts were not pursued: Could
the Department chairmen have
been given a chance to send form
letters to their faculty members,
informing them of the impending
cuts and suggesting that
members who are about to retire
or who are thinking about
retirement or taking a leave of
absence, do so early so that cuts
may not have to be made.
The faculty and administration
were in accordance with this
suggestion, yet it is unfortunate
that this alternative was not
considered before the cuts were
made.
A number of faculty members
present were curious as to why
two out of the four academic
departments involved in the cuts
were not consulted in advance. In
fact, one of the faculty who was
cut, received two letters on the
day of notice: one stating that he
was recommended for renewal of
contract and the other received
later in the same day stating that
his contract was recommended
for termination. This breech of
protocol was not addressed by the
administration.
Sophomore, Jerry Dagenhart
posed the following question: In
considering the termination of
the Technical Director for
Jarman Auditorium, were any of
the following affectations
realized? How would longwood
be affected by the sudden drop in
cultural activities such as
Drama, Music, Dance and in
fact, all of the events that occur
on the stage of Jarman? What
would be the feasible extent of
having a degree in Dramatic Arts
without having knowledge of or
practical experience in the
technical aspects of theatre?
To these questions. Dr.
Greenwood and Dr. Haltzel
replied that they are aware of the
situations that this decision
would cause and that the
teaching of Technical Drama
would not be affected by this cut.
In conclusion, it was evident
that the students, faculty and
administration are deeply
concerned for the future of a well
rounded education at Longwood
College.

Your Turn
Miss Longwood Replies
Executions have become a creative exercise for
corrections officials. There have been new and more
technological ways of ridding society of all its evils.
First, criminals were stoned to death, then beheaded,
hanged, shot, gassed, electrocuted and finally injected.
Injections, proponents of the death penalty claim, are
the most "humane" and painless of any of the other
extermination methods.
James David Autry is scheduled to be executed
before sunrise Wednesday, March 14, in Texas for the
1980 shooting death of a convenience store clerk. Autry
will be injected with a combination of anesthetic drugs
in a deadly dose.
The first man to be executed by injection was
Charles Brooks in December of 1982. The event was one
of much controversy, even among proponents of the
death penalty.
The question before the Board of Corrections is not
whether the sentence will be carried out, but whether
they should televise the execution. Ah — and yet another
possibility for creative barbarianism.
It's not enough for the people of the state to stage an
execution on a hospital gurney, with plenty of witnesses
and cameramen who will stand silently, taking notes
and pictures, as a man is injected with drugs, flinches
just a touch and dies.
No. No. "The people ought to be taught a lesson!
They should see what happens to those criminals. Yes
siree Bob — let's show 'em what they'll get."
Autry, on the other hand, will go to the gurney
professing innocence. He feels that if the sentence is to
be carried out, he wants it to be televised. The lesson
Autry hopes the publicity will teach is far from that of
the state's. Autry wants everyone to be witness to the
injustice that will cost him his life.
The death penalty, by whatever means is no longer
enough to satisfy the blood-thirsty, death hounding
proponents. They want to see it, get right in there and
see it.
If the Board of Corrections approves the televised
execution, the proponents will get their druthers, and
their thirsts will be quenched, as James David Autry is
medically, and fatally overdosed until death before the
public. The only remaining hope is that the public will be
forced to see what it is that their elected representatives
are condoning and taking part in, and be moved enough
to do something about it.
JDB
I would like to express my
sincere appreciation to all of the
wonderful people who made the
Miss Longwood Pageant a
success — Don Winkler, Brenda
Ferguson, Niki Fallis, Jerry
Dagenhart and his stage crew,
student workers, community
businesses and advisors, and the
contestants. You were great!
In response to Jeff Abemathy's
editorial on the pageant, I would
like to point out that the Miss
Longwood Pageant is just one
more way Longwood can extend
its Liberal Arts Program. The
opportunity for faculty, students
and community members to get
involved in something that can
benefit students, the college and
is also entertaining is immense.
The pageant is a chance for
women to grow physically and
mentally and obtain recognition
and scholarship money for their
efforts. It takes more than just a
pretty face or nice figure —
although appearance is a part of
it. And why not? A healthy body
is just as important as a healthy
mind! It also takes talent,
intelligence, poise and guts!
There are, of course, criteria
for entering the pageant just as
any other scholarship program.
Music, sports and honors
scholarships, just to name a few,
require certain qualifications of
their applicants. As for the
argument of there being no
minority students in the pageant,
I would like to mention that
applications were open to anyone
and that Miss America 1984,
Vanessa Williams, is a minority
student.
It greatly saddens me that
some of our faculty and
administration are so narrow-
minded that they do not see the
value of such scholarship
programs — programs that
attract over 1100 people to the
college and receive state-wide
recognition. The scholarship
aspect of the pageant should be
enough to gain the support of the
administration, because that is
one area in which Longwood is
greatly lacking. I do realize that
everyone is entitled to his-her
own opinion, but I do wish some
members of the Longwood
Community would be more open-
minded and support programs
that benefit the college.
One point that Mr. Abernathy
stressed in his article which
baffles me, was that the Office of
Career Planning and Placement
should be involved in programs
that affect "a larger percentage
of Longwood students." In the
past week there were three
programs presented by this office
relating to careers in which only
four students, total, from this
entire campus, attended. The
Miss Longwood Pageant was an
opportunity for this office, in its
spare time, to come in contact
with not only the ten contestants
but approximately 30 student
workers and the entertainment
groups — not to mention the
friends and family of these
students.
The Office of Public Affairs
sees the pageant as a chance for
10 girls to grow and improve
themselves in a relatively short
period of time. They learn
interviewing skills, poise and
stage presence all incorporating
Longwood's 14 goals. The Miss
Longwood Pageant is also a
showcase for student talent, not
only for the contestants but also
for the lancer Edition, the Jazz
Ensemble and the student stage
technicians. It is a way to involve
the community and gain local
support for the college. Already
local businesses have been
calling saying to "count them in
for next year"!
The Miss longwood Pageant is
a super opportunity for all those
involved and I hope that in the
future it will be supported by
more of the Longwood
administration.
As a side note, I would like to
say that the Miss Ix)ngwood
Pageant or any other production
in Jarman Auditoriuin would not
be possible without a technical
director. A. Moffett Evans was
indispensible with this and other
productions. I do hope that
further consideration will be
given regarding the continuation
of his job position. I would hate to
see Longwood lose such a
valuable asset.

Celebrating 100 Years
Of Teacher Education
In 1984
Dear Prospective Summer School Student:
I hope you will consider coming to Longwood
during Summer '84. We provide academic op-
portunities so that you can graduate sooner, im-
prove your academic standing, maintain eligibility
for financial aid for next year — to mention but a
few. If you come, you will find the campus contains
a diverse group of people intensely involved with
their own endeavors. It is the one time of the year
when the campus assumes the characteristics of a
micro-community. You will find a variety of dif-
ferent activities occurring about you as compared
with the one you are involved with. Conventions,
field study programs, elderhostels, girls state, as
well as the undergraduate and graduate academic
programs. Yet the campus assumes a relaxed at-
mosphere because there are fewer people present
than during the regular academic year.
The College provides dining facilities on campus
throughout the summer session. There are fast food
restaurants, stores, and shopping centers within
easy walking distance of the campus.
Campus recreational facilities are available to
the campus community, allowing each to find a way
to further his enjoyment of the summer experience
at Longwood. These include gym areas, swimming
and tennis. In addition there are three state park
facilities located within a 45 mile radius of the
campus, as well as cultural activities located in
Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Richmond.
The College sponsors a variety of activities during
the summer session: Intramural sports — softball
and volleyball — Coffee house-folk singing. Disco
dances, several Rock Bands, Films, Tubing on the
James River, Picnics, as well as the recreational
areas of the Student Union which are open until 10
p.m. week days.
You're invited.
Sincerely,
Dean of Faculty Edmond C. Conway

institutions were accredited.
Disciplinary Procedures,
Security, Student Health Service:
Dr. Greenwood called for more
even dispensation of student
discipline, said that a committee
is handling suggestions on
Security measures, and decried
the lack of physicians in the
Farmville area available to be
utilized by the Student Health
Service.
On the whole, the Forum was a
constructive dialogue that
informed both the students and
the administration. Dr.
Greenwood said she was very
impressed by the way things
went and urged similar activities
in the future. Certainly, such
forums can only help solve the
many problems that exist and
will serve to keep the channels of
communication open in the
college community.
Controversial Films
to be Shown
"If You Love This Planet"
Twenty-six minute film in
which Helen Caldicott,
National President of
Physicians for Social
Responsibility, warns of the
devastation and suffering
caused by atomic and nuclear
weaponry. The film won an
Academy Award in 1982. In
1983, the United States
Department of Justice,
Internal Security Section had
declared the film to be
"political propaganda."
"Hiroshima — Nagasaki,
August 1945"
Filmed by Japanese
cameraman one week after
the bombings. The United
States government seized the
film and kept it secret for 25
years.
Both films will be shown
Wednesday, March 14, at 6:30
p.m. in Bedford Auditorium.
A group discussion will
follow, led by Dr. Chet
Ballard.

News Editor
Campus security has always
been a thorn in the side of many
colleges and universities, and
Longwood is surely no exception.
Most people know at least one or
two people who have been the
victims of some type of crime
here on campus, and many have
found out first-hand the anger
and frustration that results when
one finds out he has been bereft of
radios, cameras, gasoline or just
hard cash. According to Campus
Police Chief Eric Shoemaker, the
answer to this dilemma lies right
at the students' door.
In an interview this past week.
Chief Shoemaker stated, "Of the
crimes that are reported here on
campus, we estimate that nearly
half of those could have been
prevented." He pointed out that
in many of the thefts they have
investigated, either the door or
window was simply left unlocked.
"It's time that every student
considered him or herself a
potential victim of crime," he
said. "If we could impress that
fact on the students, it would
make our job much easier."
Another concern of the
Campus Police is the large
Hp(i(l(i Gahler in Rehearsal
By JERRY DAGENHART
The cast of Henrik Ibsen's
drama, Hedda Gabler is already
in its second week of rehearsal.
The cast, directed by Patton
Lockwood, includes many vet-
erans of the Longwood stage and
some promising newcomers.
The title role of Hedda will be
portrayed by Connie Watkins,
who was last seen as Tessie Tara
in Gypsy. Hedda's husband,
Jurgan Tessman, will be
portrayed by Glenn Gilmer who
was last seen in Gypsy as well.
Hedda's ex-lover will be played
by M. Jeff Abernathy, marking
his acting debut at Longwood.
The frantic Miss Tayuh Elusted
will be portrayed by freshmen
Alyssa Abbey. Although Alyssa
has worked extensively on past
productions, the role of Tayuh is
also her acting debut.
The blackmailing appraiser,
Mr. Brock, will be portrayed by
veteran Longwood actor, Vince
Decker. Tessman's maid
Bairtuh, will be played by Jerry
Johnson. Tessman and Hedda's
aunt Yooluh will be portrayed by
Donna Baldwin success.

amount of vandalism that takes
place in the dorms. While he
acknowledges that most students
think that vandalism is not that
big a deal. Chief Shoemaker
stressed that "students should
realize that vandalism is a crime
that costs the school (and
eventually the students)
thousands of dollars every year."
He also emphasized that students
are adults, and will be treated as
such should they be caught
vandalizing school property, and
dealt with severely.
On the bright side, the Campus
Police itself has made great
strides in the year and a half
since Shoemaker arrived.
Besides the increase in facilities
and equipment (a larger office,
new communications gear, new
weapons and a vehicle that
"actually looks like a police car
should"), the training and
proficiency of the officers
themselves has improved.
Before, officers received little or
no training, only had to fire their
weapons on the range once a
year, and had no supervision.
Now there are supervisory
personnel, frequent training in
police subjects, and the officers
are required to fire their weapons
every few months. They also now
have a trained investigator who
can actually try to solve some of
the many reported crimes that
occur here at Ix)ngwood.
Shoemaker cited the reporting
of crimes as an essential tool in
combating crime, and said that
students should report any crime
to the Campus Police, no matter
how small. He noted that "As the
efficiency of the police
department increases, we find
that more and more students are
reporting crimes because they
know that something will be done
about it. The year before I
arrived, there were 64 crimes
reported to Campus Police, and
that was for the whole year. We
have that many reports in a
month's time now."
Shoemaker concluded that it is
the "responsibility of the
student" to help increase the
security on campus. Students can
exercise that responsibility with
an act as simple as turning a key.

Thursday, 4-2 at Longwood. The
Lancers hoot King's College
Thursday afternoon at 2:00.
Pete Maxwell and Mark Hogge
won the decisive doubles match
for the Lancers against Newport
News. In singles action, Paige
Tilghman, J. D. Almond,
Maxwell and Hogge were
victorious for Longwood.
Tilghman is playing in the top
position for the Lancers. He is
followed by No. 2 Darden Smith,
No. 3 Hogge, No. 4 Rudy Hull and
No. 5 Almond. Tim Colyer, Matt
Sweeney, Hampton McClellan,
and Maxwell are competing for
the final position.
Coach Rich Posipanko
describes his tennis team as "a
very young and inexperienced
team," and because of that hopes
for a 500 season. "We're working
really hard, but the inexperience
w'.ll hurt," said the Lancer coach.
"Our competition is strong this
year to add to our problems."
The Lancer coach feels Virginia
Wesleyan, Lynchburg, Mary
Washington and Randolph-
Macon are the best teams the
team will face.
Posipanko, in his first year at
the helm of the tennis team,
would like to equal last season's
7-7 record. Only three players
return from that squad —
Tilghman, Hull and Maxwell.
Tilghman and Maxwell are
seniors, but the remaining seven
netters are freshmen or
sophomores.

for Longwood in six years. '
Lancers Sweep Tourney
m.
While it's far too early to be
thinking about post-season play,
Longwood's young baseball team
served notice Sunday that it could
be in the chase for a berth in the
South Atlantic Regional
Tournament when bids are
extended in May.
With senior shortstop John
Sullivan supplying the hitting and
sophomore pitcher Todd Ashby
picking up both wins, Longwood
took two from visiting California
State of Pennsylvania Sunday 13-
6 and 8-3 to move its early season
record to 8-4.
Sunday's twin bill sweep was
important, coming against a
team which qualified for the
NCAA Division II playoffs last
season, But, what made the wins
even more crucial was the fact
that they came on the heels of 9-1
and 3-2 losses to Slippery Rock on
Saturday. The Lancers and the
two Pennsylvania teams are all
potential contenders for post-
season play in the South Atlantic
Region. Longwood swept two
from West Virginia Tech Friday,
19-7 and 12-6.
This week the Lancers host
Maryland Baltimore County for
two Thursday. UMBC is another
possible contender for the
Division II Playoffs. Friday,
Longwood visits rival Hampden-
Sydney for a single game,
starting at 1 : 00, and Saturday the
Lancers visit St. Paul's for a
doubleheader, beginning at 1:00.
The Lancers won't play again
until March 25 after Saturday.

Exhibit To Feature
The Ordinary
VASA Forum
By JEFF ABERNATHY
Ivongwood professor Marilyn
Simpson-Johnson and 1980 LC
graduate Lynne Swann are
working together on a project
which will celebrate the ordinary
in Prince Edward County.
The project will feature the
women of Prince Edward County
from Depression times to the
present, but its focus will not be
on the more affluent women of
Prince Edward. The project will
study "the ordinary rather than
the extraordinary," according to
Simpson-Johnson, the originator
of the project.
Mrs. Simpson-Johnson, an
assistant professor of social
work, will coordinate the
project's three phases. In the
first phase, recordings will be
made of selected members of the
community for permanent
history of Prince Edward County.
The women will be selected for
their contributions to the
community on the basis of family
life, religious and civic
involvement, work history and
education.
The second phase of the project
will be an exhibit entitled
"Feminist Self Expression: A
Portrait of Private lives in
Prince Edward County". The
exhibit will consist of
photographs and artifacts from
women and women's groups
throughout the county. Lynne
Swann will coordinate the effort
as part of her work towards a
master's degree at Virginia
Connmonwealth University. The
final collection will be catalogued
and presented at the Wynne
Building this fall.
The culmination of Simpson-
Johnson's project will be a series
of presentations on WFLO by
humanities scholars. The
scholars will interpret the value
of the project as a whole and
address the universality of the
exhibition.
"The ordinary person really
forms the backbone of most
American cities," Simpson-
Johnson noted in an interview
last week, "but these are the
women who perceive their lives
as being unexciting and
uninteresting. We hope that this
project will enable these people
to see that they have made a real
contribution to society."
The project is supported by a
$6,300 grant from the Virginia
Foundation for the Humanities
and Public Policy and tying in
with the Virginia Women's
Cultural History exhibit which
will tour the state later this year.
Numerous Longwood faculty
will be assisting Simpson-
Johnson on the project, and she
sees the effort as an opportunity
for assisting the Prince Edward
community as a whole. "It is an
excellent opportunity for
Longwood College to become
involved in a project which goes
out to the community. The
College usually caters to the
educated elite. Here is a project
which goes and celebrates the
people who are the unsung heroes
of Prince Edward County."
By W.W.EDWARDS
A feeling of vitality and
optimism pervaded the 1984
Virginia Student Association
Forum which was held in
Fredericksburg, Va. on March
30-31. Throughout the two-day
gathering, which was filled with
seminars and talks by prominent^
legislators and state government
personnel, the student leaders
present consistently displayed a
"can-do" attitude and a sense of
accomplishment about the work
of VASA.
VASA is a nonprofit group that
contains representatives from
institutions of higher learning
from across the state, forming
the organization's General
Council. This council directs the
programs of VASA and also
elects an Executive Committee,
which performs most of the nuts-
and-bolts work of the group.
VASA has been very active in the
General Assembly as a lobbying
group for student interests, and
have lobbied on such issues as
financial aid, voting laws
affecting students, and opposition
to the raising of the legal
minimum drinking age.
The forum drew over 100
representatives from colleges
and universities in Virginia, and
also many members of the State
government who spoke and sat on
panel discussions. The panel
discussions were very
informative and covered such
diverse topics as "Students and
the Media," "Students and the
Board of Visitors," and "methods
of Voter Registration."
Credibility was added to these
panels by the presence of people
like Susan Fitz-Hugh, head of the
State Board of Elections (on the
Voter Registration discussion),
and Ray Ashworth of the Virginia
Highway Users Association and
Barbara Bolton of the Virginia
Nurses Association who both
spoke on the topic of lobbying
techniques.
State Senator Richard Sasslaw
headed up the impressive group
of guest speakers that addressed
the forum on matters dealing
with Virginia's education system.
Former state legislator Wyatt
Durette spoke on Saturday
morning and was followed by
Virginia's Secretary of
Education John Casteen. While
all three speakers were generally
optimistic about the direction of
education in Virginia, they all
expressed the same ideas about
one of the main problems in
Virginia's school system; the
lack of money.
The forum ended with a
general session in which the new
Executive Committee was
announced (the vote had been
taken earlier in the morning). -

There was three of us, counting Lancelot —
Lancelot doesn't really count though cause he's an Irish
setter — but I'll put him in anyways cause he's a
damned sight better than some of the folks around here.
So there was three of us — me, Lance and Ray.
Ray's a buddy of mine, known him a few years — good
friend too, but well, you know— he's got a little problem
with liquor and stuff. But he's an allright guy — just
keep him away from the bottle.
So the bunch of us is walking out towards the
haunted house — ya know — just casual like. I'll admit
we were a little messed up. Not bad. Just . . . well, no
matter — we were holding our own. 'Cept for Rusty.
Damn dog kep trippin' us up. Couldn't walk straight.
Lemme tell ya something — it does no good to waste
good drugs on a dog. Ain't worth it — he won't do nothin'
but walk round in circles and confound the hell outta ya.
But we kept kicking him and he got the message. The
dog ain't stupid normally — just ya shouldn't . . , well . . .
you know what I mean.
So we're walkin out there, right? The three of us
lookin' all wide-eyed like and Ray's talkin up a storm —
something about Reagan — and you know Ray. If ya
don't convince him to shut the hell up right off, hell, he'll
go on all night.
So I shoved that bottle of Taylor's in his hand and he
took a long swallow. "Let me tell ya" he tells me,
"there's nothing worse than having a damned
conservative in the White House in times like these.
Especially with us here in Farmville.
I didn't want to, but I had to find out what he was
trying to get at. "Why's that, Ray?"
"Well, it's like this. We're here locked in this place
for two more years, waiting to get a piece of paper that
won't do us a damn bit of good by the time we get it. ' '
"And I suppose that's Reagan's fault?" I had to
know.
"Course not," he answered. "Can't blame all of that
on Reagan. I mean, he didn't send us here. Robb's got a
lot to do with it."
"So Reagan and Robb are both against us?"
"No. Not exactly. A lot of it's our own fault, ya
know. A school like Longwood tends to get overlooked
sometimes when it comes down to government action. If
we don't let 'em know. . . "
"So we get overlooked by a lot of people, Ray."
"Right. But just now when we've got all this talk
about record enrollment and stuff — just when things
are starting to happen — BAM — and there you have it."
"And just what was the BAM?
"Well Reagan cuts our student aid even further.
Robb cuts our faculty. We're being double-teamed by
opposing teams and the only thing our record number of
students are worried about is the date and time of the
next mixer."
"C'mon Ray. I can believe Reagan and Robb are
cutting our future out from under us. But you're saying
it's our own fault?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"I think I need that bottle."
"That's just what I'm talking about. You're already
brainwashed. What do you think everybody else's
answer is to the hassles of working for a good
education? I need a beer. I need a beer. The only thing
you can do to get people out of bed nowadays is to offer
them a damn beer. Whatever happened to the marches,
the demonstrations. . .
"I gotcha. Join the Peace Corps, love not war,
right?"
"Yeah. Where HAVE all the good times gone?
Nobody cares. There ain't a respectable liberal on this
campus."
"Now c'mon Ray."
"There's not! Cause if there was we wouldn't be
standing for this. No way. Supposed to be a
demonstration against Reagan's policies in D. C. last
month for all the college students across the nation.
You want to know how many showed up?"
"Notreally, Ray. .."
"Three-hundred and fifty. That's how many. Three
hundred and fifty. Damn near total apathy."
"Well, what can ya do, Ray. We can't change the
world."
"We used to think we could. But now all that's been
pushed back. I don't know. Maybe some good down-
home liberalism will manage to work its way back.
Just then Lancelot came running up from behind us.
Barking and howlin so loud it scared the hell out of both
of us. Jumped up on Ray and knocked him down. I was
laughing so hard I fell down right next to him with
Lancelot jumping up and down between us.
"Shit. Hey, Ray?"
"What?"
"You all right?"
"Damn Dog."
"Don't make 'em like they used to, huh?"
"Yeah..."
"Ray?"
"What?"
"You wanta pass that bottle?"

COMMENTS
To The Editor:
In the televised discussion
following "The Day After,"
Henry Kissinger and Robert
McNamara stressed the need of
introducing greater stability
between the U. S. and the USSR.
Specif icially, they referred to
negotiating limitation or
abolition of multiple warheaded
missiles which increase the
temptation to attempt a first
strike. At present the chances of
reaching such an agreement
appear remote. Instead,
President Reagan has
compounded the problem with his
proposal to deploy a space-based
Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD).
According to Mr. Reagan such a
system would increase security -
by blunting the destructive
potential of a Soviet first-strike.
The truth is quite the contrary.
A defensive system can only
increase instability by
encouraging a first strike.
Example: In the absence of
BMDs, one side launches a
preemptive first strike reducing
the opponent's forces to 1000
^*= warheads with which to retaliate.
With an operational BMD
( assuming 95 percent rehability ),
the number of retaliatory
warheads might be reduced to 50.
If both sides have operational
BMDs, the temptation to strike
first could become irresistable
during heightened tensions. In
addition, BMDs will increase the
likelihood of a policy of "launch
on warning" upon suspicion of
being under attack. One side
might decide to accept 50 nuclear
detonations in response to
initiating a first strike, despite
international scientific recog-
nition that even "limited" nu-
clear war may irrevocably dis-
rupt the planet's biosphere.
The cost of a BMD will
transform the idealized vision of
the "High Frontier" into an
economic quagmire of disastrous
proportions. No BMD will ever
possess absolute reliability.
Moreover, the predictable
exaggerated response of each
side to BMDs will be to increase
Your Turn
offensive capabilities. One
response will undoubtedly be
escalation in the capability and
numbers of cruise mssiles which
are not threatened by BMDs.
Costly new defensive systems
will then be proposed to counter
cruise missiles if they are not, in
turn, subjected to negotiated
limitation.
In sum, BMD will increase the
enormous national debt, the
instability among strategic
forces, and the risk of nuclear
war. We feel strongly that neither
the present nor future
administrations should embark
upon actions or policies to
develop BMD. Specificially the
Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM)
treaty should be strengthened
through negotiation, not
abrogated. Moreover, our
country and the Soviet Union
together must contain the
development of anti-satellite
weaponry, the technological
cornerstone of BMD
development.

Dear Editor:
The irony that the Rotunda has
twice chosen to ignore a major
literary event on campus is
paralleled only by the irony that
these events, the awarding of the
Dos Passos Prize for Literature
and the Longwood Literary
Festival, were planned by
individuals who are members of
the Publications Board and who
fought to save the Rotunda. Why
did they bother?
Both of the visiting writers
enjoy great student foUowings on
their respective college
campuses, UNC at Chapel Hill
and the University of Alabama at
Tuscaloosa. It is unfortunate that
Longwood students were not
afforded in-depth information
about these writers of fiction so
that they, too, could have chosen
to take advantage of an
opportunity to hear two talented
contemporary novelists, Doris
Betts and Allen Wier, read from
their works.
That the media of the written
word on Longwood Campus is so
unconcerned with the medium is
sad.
A disgusted alumna,

Dear Editor:
The situation in Nicaragua is
extremely critical at this time.
The Nicaraguan economy which
depends heavily on only a few
agricultural exports has been
under increasing attack from
CIA-backed counterrevolution-
aries. Several hundred million
dollars worth of damage has
already resulted from attacks
such as the one against the vital
oil storage facilities at the port of
Corinto last October.
Nicaragua needs a successful
coffee harvest to be able to
purchase basic food stuffs,
medicines, spare parts for
industry and transportation, and
oil. Because of the urgent
political and military situation,
many Nicaraguans have been
mobilized in the defense of their
country and cannot participate in
the December-February coffee
harvest this year.
That is why I have chosen to
respond to Nicaragua's call for
international work brigades to
ensure a successful coffee
harvest this year.
In the United States, the
National Network in Solidarity
with the Nicaraguan People
(NNSNP) is working to
coordinate volunteer
participation. U. S. citizens have
a particular role in this harvest,
because if it were not for our
government's open attempts to
overthrow the government of
Nicaragua, the Nicaraguans
would be free to develop their
own political life and their own
economy in peace.
By participating in the
volunteer coffee harvest, I hope
to show that as an American
citizen, I stand with the people of
Nicaragua in their moment of
need and that I oppose the
policies of the Reagan
administration. I urge others to
support and write to NNSNP for
further information on how to
help the people of Nicaragua and
to make donations. Their address
is: NNSNP, 2025 "I" Street NW,
Suite 402, Washington, DC, 20006.
The time has come to give
Central America back to its
people!
Sincerely,
David L. Wiltsie,

To the Editor:
The Brothers of Sigma Phi Ep-
silon, as part of their quest for
community service, have decided
to sponsor a child in conjunction
with the Christian Children's
Fund. For sixteen dollars a
month, we are able to help feed
and adequately clothe a needy
youngster in Bolivia.
The child's name is Locio
Condori Opi. "We call him Opie."
Opie is just six years old, and
already his future is bleak. Of
Indian peasant descent, he lives
with his family in a small adobe,
thatched, hut in an undeveloped,
rural area. Opie's dad is a
farmer, but cannot supply
enough for him to eat because of
poor land and a harsh climate. He
raises Llamas for wool and a
few sheep. Opie's usual diet
consists of only potatoes and
soup. He receives only one-half
the normal nutrition
requirements needed for proper
growth. Thus, he is very
susceptible to disease. His mom
makes all his clothes and cares
for him in the best manner with
her limited resources.
The Brothers of Sigma Phi
Epsilon are doing this in addition
to maintaining their "Big-
Brother" Program. We are
considering holding of a mixer to
bring in funds to further expand
this project and we hope that
others might consider sponsoring
a child through this worthwhile
program.

HAPPENINGS
Grassroots Education
Hedda Gabler
American education is
launched upon a magnificent
renaissance after 20 years of
nearly unbroken decline, reports
U. S. Secretary of Education T.
H. Bell.
That is the thrust of an article
the Secretary will have published
in the April issue of the Phi Delta
Kappan, journal of Phi Beta
Kappa, an organization of
professional educators.
"The grassroots reform
movement that took the country
by storm last year will become
firmly established in our
educational system this year,"
the Secretary said.
In his article, titled "American
Education at a Crossroads,"
Secretary Bell credits the
beginning of a renewed national
commitment to improving
education to the Reagan
Administration's successful
effort to combine some 29
categorical education programs
into one block grant, thus giving
state and local governments
"more authority to set their own
priorities and to direct Federal
assistance to areas of greatest
need."
The Secretary adds, "The
Education Department's efforts
to eliminate paperwork have
lightened the regulatory burden
faced by local school officials and
saved the U. S. taxpayers
approximately $1 billion per
year."
"The release (April, 1983) of A
Nation at Risk: The Imperative
for Educational Reform, the
landmark report of the National
Commission on Excellence in
Education, appears to have been
the firebrand that ignited the
national campaign for
educational improvement,"
Secretary Bell states.
The National Forum for
Excellence in Education, held
last December in Indianapolis,
"provided an arena for
invigorating and productive
discussions of the tangible steps
being taken across the U. S. to
improve schools," he said.
Now, according to the
Secretary, college entrance
examination scores are
beginning to climb, and there is
renewed dedication to improving
education on the part of state
governments, school boards,
teachers, and community
leaders.
Dr. Bell lays out priorities and
goals for American education
and puts a five-year time limit on
them. Among the priorities are:
f Every student must be
given the opportunity to achieve
the highest possible level of
literacy.
• All students should master,
within their limits, the basic
elements of mathematics.
f Schools must instruct
students in the preservation of
the American system of
government.
His goals include the "five new
basics" of English, mathematics,
science, social studies, and one-
half year of computer science as
requirements of all high school
students in the country, an
increase in the scholastic
aptitude test scores, a decrease
in the high school drop-out rate to
ten percent, and better teacher
salaries.
Dr. Bell also cites the
importance of improved teacher
training, tougher school
curricula, more teacher
professionalism and higher
college entrance requirements.
Ane he also reminds the reader of
the President's commitment, and
his own, to tuition tax credits so
that parents will have the right to
send their children to schools of
their choice.
"The home is the first school,"
writes the Secretary. "Parents
are a child's first teacher.
Parents should reinforce the
lessons their children learn in
school." Dr. Bell also suggests
that parents share their views on
education with school officials.
The Reagan Administration,
the Secretary states, will
continue to recognize excellence
in education through special
recognition of schools and
individual academic
achievement.
The Secretary said that
motivation, leadership, and a
strong commitment are keys to
the achievement of excellence.

Henrik Ibsen's drama Hedda
Gabler, is in its final week of
rehearsal. The play is being
produced by the Longwood
Players and is under the
direction of Patton Lockwood.
Hedda Gabler will open Tuesday,
April 17, and run through Friday,
April 20.
The title role of Hedda will be
portrayed by Junior Connie
Watkins. Connie is no stranger to
the Jarman stage. She was last
seen in Gypsy and she was also in
last semester's production of The
Imaginary Invalid. Connie also
brings to the play a wealth of
experience from her junior
college productions performed at
Southern Seminary. Although
Hedda is probably Connie's most
challenging role to date, her
progress in rehearsal gives great
promise that it will be her best
performance yet.
Supporting Connie are: Ton y
Russo in the role of Jurgen — her
bookworm husband, Vince
Decker as appraiser Brack — an
interloping friend of the family,
Jeff Abemathy as Ejlert Lovborg
— Hedda's old flame, Alyssa
HENRIK IBSEN
Abbey as Thea Elvested —
Hedda's school day rival. Donna
Baldwin as Jula Tessman
Jurgen's old maid aunt, and
completing the cast is Jenny
Johnson as Berta — Hedda's
maid.
Behind the scenes supporting
the cast is a very hard-working
array of crews who are diligently
creating the technical aspects for
Hedda Gabler. All of the crews
are under the direction of
Technical Director A. Moffet
Evans.
Curtain time is 8:00 p.m.,
general admission is $3.00 and all
Longwood students will be
admitted free with college I.D.

What Are You Doing Here?
By BILL MOORE
Student Development Educator
Have you ever stopped to think
what you're doing in college?
Sure, you say — I'm taking a few
classes, going to some parties,
uh, you know, having a good
time. Yes, but what are you doing
here? Hey, it's not important;
I've got to experience the
present, the future will take care
of itself.
Would you say that? Perhaps
not; but I see a lot of people who
seem to be acting on those
assumptions, and I'd like to
explore an alternative: we shape
the future by what we do in the
present, and in clarifying our
present we can improve our
future. Let me explain.
A number of times I have
talked to graduating seniors and
heard the line, I haven't done
much of anything, how can I
write any kind of resume? They
know that they took some classes,
and yes, by golly, they will have a
degree in whatever, but they are
stumped when asked about their
skills what they've learned in
four years of "higher education".
Most students are not
accustomed to thinking in terms
of building skills; it is much more
common to only think of college
as a place where KNOWLEDGE
is driven-infused into vour brain.
Certainly that element is there,
and not to be denied. Yet through
your experiences both in and out
of class you are developing a set
of skills which will prove useful in
the "real world". I'm not talking
about specific job skills, either;
those skills are almost always
taught on-the-job and not before.
I'm talking about basic
functional skills which are
necessary for most jobs — the
ability to think, to raise questions
about issues and problems, to
communicate both in written and
oral form, to relate to people.
These are the skills, believe it or
not, that can be the difference
between getting or not getting the
job you want, that can determine
how satisfied you are with your
job and how long you stay there.
And you can gain these skills in a
variety of ways in your years in
college.
Which brings me back to my
original point — if you do not
think about what you're doing in
the present, then you are missing
an opportunity to fully benefit
from your college experience and
construct the resume you'll write
when you graduate.
So take some time to think
about what your classes mean,
and what skills you are building.
Just in case somebody asks you,
what are you doing here?

Survey Reveals Freshmen Views
76% of men, 27% of women
say that ''sex is ok if the
two people really like each other.
?»
ByJEFFABERNATHY
In a survey of 353 freshmen
at the beginning of the fall
semester, Student
Development Educator Bill
Moore found that Longwood
freshmen are "more
conservative" than college
freshmen nationally, they had
lower academic expectations,
and 52 percent listed
Longwood as their first choice
as opposed to 70 percent
nationally. They also,
however, placed being "very
well off financially" 11
percent lower than did
freshmen nationally (59
percent-70 percent) and
showed higher expectations of
receiving a bachelor's degree.
The survey was based on
Alexander Astin's 1983-84
Cooperative Research
Program. A partial listing of
the survey results follows:
Political Viewpoints:
— 45 percent of freshmen
males believe that "military
spending should be increased"
as opposed to 40 percent
nationally; 40 percent of the
women agreed.
— 62 percent of all
freshmen surveyed believe
that abortion should remain
legalized (55 percent
nationally).
better in high school (65
percent women, 40 percent
men):
19 percent expecte to get a
'B' or better in college;
51 percent have
educational plans beyond a
bachelor's degree;
19 percent expect to
transfer;
— expected to live in a coed
24% of Longwood
to marry within a
freshmen expect
year after College.
— 59 percent of men, 40
percent of women believe that
there "should be laws
prohibiting homosexual
relationships."
Academics:
— 46 percent of women
decided on Longwood in the
fall of their senior year (32
percent decided in the spring) .
— 58 percent of men
decided on Longwood in the
spring of their senior year (24
percent in fall).
— 15 percent of males came
to Longwood because
"athletic department
recruited me" (4 percent
females).
— While 58 percent
reported a 'B' average or
dorm at twice the national
rate.
Miscellaneous:
— 45 percent of men believe
that student publications
should be cleared by college
officials.
— 76 percent of men, 27
percent of women say that
"sex is OK if the two people
really like each other."
— 74 percent cited one of
their life objectives being to
raise a family as opposed to 65
percent nationally.
— 24 percent expect to
marry within a year of
college.
Mass Student Protest Of Aid Cuts Becomes A Dud
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
National student leaders tried to
stage a massive show of student
opposition to proposed federal
financial aid cuts last week, but
not many student showed up.
About 300 students rallied
outside the Capitol March 26 to
register their protest of President
Reagan's proposed aid budget. If
the budget passes it would
translate into about 900,000 fewer
loans and grants during the 1984-
85 school year.
The event, part of the annual
National Student Lobby Action
Day, drew about 2,000 students
last March, and about 4,500 in
March, 1982.
As recently as the end of
February, event organizer Kathy
Ozer told College Press Service
she hoped some 7,000 students
would participate this year.
"The numbers weren't as
important as the information the
students brought," she asserts.
The effort, which included
talking to legislators before the
rally, "was one of the most
effective we've ever had."
Lobbying, not the rally, was the
major order of the day, Ozer
says, and students patrolling the
Capitol's halls wearing
"Education Cuts Never Heal"
buttons did get to speak to many
legislators and legislators' staff
members.
The legislative timing,
moreover, was fortuitous.

Local Student Performs Unusual Internship Voter Registration
Valerie Perini has read the
personal letters of Jefferson
Davis' wife. She has researched
the furnishings inside the White
House of the Confederacy. In
short, she is familiar with the
Confederacy's First Family,
their home and their private life.
Not bad for someone who grew
up in New York City and, until
recently, "had no overwhelming
interest in the Civil War."
Ms. Perini. of Farmville, is a
senior anthropology major at
l^ngwood College. Since last
spring, she has been involved in
an internship program at The
Museum of The Confederacy in
Richmond. This semester marks
the third consecutive semester
she has worked part-time for the
Museum.
She began as an intern last
spring, working two days a week
for a six-week period, learning
the various functions of each
division at the Museum. In the
fall semester and again this
semester, she has been a
research assistant one day each
week. Valerie is under the
direction of Patti I^ughridge,
who formerly was curator of
education and now is curator of
the White House of the
Confederacy, located adjacent to
the Museum.
"I've always liked history
because it's like reading a
storybook," she said recently.
"When I was young, I was
encouraged to go to museums."
These internship experiences
were developed by Dr. James
Jordan, head of the Sociology and
Anthropology department, after
discussing her interests with her.
Ms. Perini is interested in
"cultural anthropology" — the
study of living groups — and is
considering a career in museum
work. She is the first Longwood
student from her department to
participate in such an internship.
The Museum of The Confederacy
staff has been flexible in
adjusting work hours that fit her
schedule, she said.
The Museum, which opened in
1976, is next to the White House of
the Confederacy, which is closed
while being restored to its
wartime appearance.
Ms. Perini, who is the mother
of three daughters, will graduate
in May. She moved to Farmville
in the late 1970s, and entered
Longwood in the fall of 1980.
She has made the Dean's List
five times, and recently was
selected for the 1984 edition of
Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and
Colleges. Valerie is a member of
Alpha Lambda Delta honor
society and, during her
sophomore year, received the
Kathleen G. Cover Award for
academic excellence. On April 17
she will be initiated into Phi
Kappa Phi honor society.
The research Ms. Perini
conducted last semester was
primarily "literary" research —
it included the letters of Varina
Howell Davis, Jefferson Davis'
wife, and the often-quoted diary
of Mary Boykin Chesnut, a
chronicler of wartime Richmond.
This semester, she has
researched items donated to the
Museum that are thought to have
belonged to the Davis family.
"Records such as Mrs. Davis'
letters and the Chesnut diary are
valuable because they flesh out
the historical data and let us
know how the people actually
lived. In our research this
semester, we're branching out —
spending more time at the
Virginia Historical Society and
the State Library. What I'm
doing now is a continuation of last
semester, but the research is
broader."
Although her primary interests
lie in the primitive or prehistoric
past, Ms. Perini finds it much
easier to research the events of
only 120 years ago. "This era of
history is very gratifying because
if you look hard enough, you're
going to find what you're after.
The work at the Museum has
been very interesting. I've
learned a lot and it's been fun."
Before going into museum-
related work, Ms. Perini would
like to do anthropological field
work. "I'd like to have actually
been there. I don't want someone
coming in from the field in their
jeans, trying to discuss things
I've never personally
experienced."
Ms. Perini also would consider
teaching; when she graduates,
she will be provisionally certified
to teach sociology or
anthropology at the secondary
level. She has applied to the
University of Virginia Graduate
School of Anthropology.

The attempt to get college
students registered to vote is
gaining wide-spread support
throughout the country, and the
Student Government Association
here at Longwood does not intend
to get left out. The SGA is in the
process of planning a Voter
Registration drive, which they
hope will inform students on how
they can register, and how to vote
by absentee ballot.
Even though college students
have often been willing
participants in political
demonstrations, their voting
record has not always been the
best. Statistics show that, for
instance, in the 1982
Congressional elections, only 18.3
percent of 18-and-19 year olds
voted, while only 27.2 percent of
all 20- to 24-year-olds did so.
Several organizations are
lending their support to this
nationwide movement. The
United States Student Associaton
is one of the main ones launching
a 200,000 dollar campaign this
summer to register college
students in 16 states, while the
Public Interests Research Group
is beginning a multi-million
dollar campaign to register from
one to three million students.
Nationwide leaders of this
movement stress the importance
of a strong youth movement in
elections. Beth De Grasse (of the
Public Interests Research
Group) has said that despite their
relatively low turnout at the polls
in the past, students could gain
some political clout in this year's
election if they can convince the
news media and the candidates
that they are capable of
mobilizing a large number of
voters.
Thomas M. Blanton, of the
Black Law Students Association
at Howard University stressed
that students would be in a better
lobbying position if more office
holders were elected with strong
student support, so that leaders
of student organizations could
just "pick up the phone" when
important policy votes are being
cast.
On the local level, the Virginia
Student Association held a Fall
Voter Awareness Week that
disseminated voter information
to nearly 10,000 students in
Virginia. The SGA here hopes
that their drive will be
successful, as having students
participate in the political
process is one of the best ways to
obtain those rights which
students are entitled to.

Longwood's Kersey On
Way To The NBA
If one were going to write a
book about Jerome Kersey's
experience in the 32nd
Portsmouth Invitational
Tournament last week, a suitable
title might be: "On The Road To
The NBA With Jerome Kersey."
That's right! I said NBA as in
National Basketball Association.
You know, Dr. J. and Moses and
Magic and Kareem.
Yes! We're talking about that
same Jerome Kersey of
Clarksville, Virginia who played
basketball for Division II
Longwood College the past four
years.
What Kersey did in the
Portsmouth Invitational
Tournament against Division I
players caught the notice of a lot
of people, including Mary Blake,
NBA Director of Scouting. After
seeing Kersey score 18 points and
grab 14 rebounds in a Friday
night contest, Mr. Blake
predicted the &-7, 220-pounder
would be taken in the first three
rounds of the NBA Draft.
"He's helped himself as much
as anyone in the tournament,"
said Blake. He's gone from being
a guy who had no chance in the
eyes of many people, to being a
prospect who'll be drafted in the
first three rounds."
Kersey scored 46 points and
grabbed 38 rebounds in three
tournament contests, helping his
Bill Lewis Chevrolet team reach
the finals Saturday night. One of
only three Division II players
invited. Kersey was the top
rebounder in the event. He
averaged 15.3 points and 12.7
rebounds.
He also showcased his all-
around skills with steals, blocked
shots, dunks and assists. In short,
th was THE SURPRISE of the
tournament, outplaying such
heralded Division I standouts as
Matt Doherty of North Carolina.
Doherty was a teammate of
Kersey's in games played Friday
and Saturday nights. Kersey
admitted being "pumped up" for
his first test against Division I
players.
"The only place I've seen most
of these guys before was on TV,"
said Kersey.
For the record, Kersey scored
14 points and had 10 rebounds in
his team's opening 107-94 win
Wednesday night. Friday night,
in a 119-118 overtime triumph, he
had 18 points and 14 rebounds. In
Saturday's 106-100 loss in the
finals, Jerome had 14 points and
14 rebounds, making eight of nine
free throws. He scored eight
points in 39 seconds late in the
contest to lead a Bill Lewis
comeback.
"Playing in the Portsmouth
Invitational was a super
experience for Jerome," said
Lancer coach Cal Luther. "It was
great for him to go down there
and find out he could play with
Division I players. He's got his
foot in the door now.
"Several scouts I talked to
were impressed with his
quickness and defensive ability.
He did some things those guys
(NBA scouts) are really looking
for. They saw his physical skills
and that he's a worker. The main
criticism of Jerome would be
that he wasn't in great shape
after a long layoff (Longwood
season ended March 2)."
Kersey played center for the
Lancers this past season, but
ended up at the small forward
spot much of the time last week.
Luther felt he adjusted pretty
well to playing more on the
perimeter.

Freedom Summer
Campaign
Students Dance For MD
College campuses across the
country are the focus of a
massive student recruitment
drive for an unprecedented voter
registration campaign aimed at
registering one million low
income votes.
The campaign, "Freedom
Summer '84," has already gained
wide support from campus
organizers and leaders including
students recently selected as paid
coordinators. They will launch a
recruitment blitz to enroll 5,000
student volunteers who will
register voters at public
assistance offices, "cheese
lines," health clinics and other
social service agencies in 60
cities. The 10-week project, June
1 through August 11, is sponsored
by the United States Student
Association (USSA), the National
Student Educational Fund and
Human SERVE (Service
Employees Registration Voter
Education) Fund.
The drive marks the 20th
anniversary of "Mississippi
Freedom Summer 1964," a
movement which drew students
to the deep South. They plaed a
major role in mobilizing and
registering many
disenfranchised Blacks, helping
to gain passage of the Voting
Rights Act of 1964.
Freedom Summer '84 will
involve a broader spectrum of
statewide student associations,
student governments and
campus-based fraternities and
sororities. They will be
supervised by leading voter
registration organizations such
as the Voter Education Project,
Midwest Voter Registration and
Education Project, Southwest
Voter Registration and
Education Project and Project
VOTE! Many students will
receive course credit, while more
than 40 social work departments
are placing students as part of
field work programs.
"Freedom Summer '84 will be
the most important project that
students can commit themselves
to this summer. It will be an
invaluable learning experience
and provide the opportunity to
move into the forefront of the
political arena," said USSA
President Greg Moore. "By
November, any lingering doubts
about the importance of students
in the electoral process should be
dispelled."
USSA includes 3.5 million
members and affiliates on over
300 campuses. Many of the
affiliates have already recruited
volunteers and are conducting
campus voter registration.
Freedom Summer Coordinators,
selected from every region, will
be paid weekly stipends and will
launch campus rallies, teach-ins,
classroom speaking and other
drives to reach large numbers of
students.
Human SERVE Executive
Director Hulbert James noted
that student participation will
give significant momentum to
ongoing registration drives at
social service agencies. Human

An energetic group of
Longwood College students
recently danced for 21 hours to
raise money in the fight against
muscular dystrophy.
The "Super Dance," held in
Longwood's lower dining hall,
began at 6 p.m. on Friday, April
6, and lasted until 3 o'clock the
following afternoon. Thirty-two
students participated; all but six
danced the entire time, said
coordinator Eddie Esatto. Those
six people had to limit their
dancing for medical reasons.
They raised more
than $2,200 for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association, Esatto
said. Each dancer had received
pledges - some per hour, others a
total pledge — prior to the dance.
"This year's dance was a
rebuilding process," explained
Esatto. "We've had Super
Dances at Longwood since 1979,
but we didn't have one last year.
We were trying to acclimate the
freshmen and sophomores who
didn't know what a Super Dance
was."
The dancers took 10-minute
breaks every hour, and reserved
a half -hour for dinner Friday and
a half-hour for breakfast and
lunch Saturday. "This was a
dance-a-thon, not a dance
marathon. But they still danced
their hearts out."
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
coordinated the dance, with help
from all traternities and
sororities. About 500-600 people
attended a mixer Friday evening
at the Super Dance. "The mixer
helped, because those people saw
Jim Steve and Susan Aasen dance to "Rock of Ages".
the dancers and said to
themselves, 'Maybe we'll do this
next year,' " Esatto said. "We're
hoping to have greater
participation and raise over
$6,000 next year."
Billy Duncan, a disc jockey
for Q-94 radio station and a
former Longwood student,
played music from 6 Friday
evening until 1 in the morning. "I
can still hear music playing in
my head," laughed Esatto, who
was in the lower dining hall from
early Friday afternoon until a
few hours after the dance ended.
Asked if the dancers felt
"dead" by Saturday afternoon,
Esatto said, "Actually, they were
fairly peppy near the end."
LIVE '84 A Success
Traci Goodwyn of Zeta Tau Alpha removes staples from window
at the Old Mill.
A funny thing happened — or,
rather, didn't happen — during
LIVE '84 on Saturday, March 31.
Organizers of LIVE '84, a
Longwood College-sponsored
volunteer work day in the
community, had expected
something to eventually go wrong
with the first-time event.
However, they were pleasantly
surprised.
"I thought we'd have some
problems at some point in the
day, but everything went like
clock-work," said coordinator
Tom Bailey.
"The volunteers were great,"
added Bailey, a senior from
Richmond. "We never had any
complaints. Sign-in wasn't
supposed to start until 8:30 — we
had people there at 8:15."
About 500 Ix)ngwood students.
faculty and staff took part in the
work day, known as "Longwood
Initiates volunteer Energy."
Volunteers performed
yardwork at the homes of senior
citizens and liOngwood's Alunuii
House; painted windows at the
Old Mill; picked up trash along
several roads; cleaned the
former high school; Scope Senior
Citizens Center, and the United
Way-Red Cross office; and
visited patients at Eldercare and
Holly Manor.
"We had doubled the number of
workers for each site, thinking
some wouldn't show, but just
about everybody that we
assigned to a work site showed
up," Bailey .:aid. "So the jobs got
finished a lot quicker than we had
anticipated. There were very few
no-shows."
The work began around 9:30 in
the morning, as the Longwood
bus transported workers to their
sites. Members of Alpha Chi Rho
fraternity and Kappa Oelta
sorority worked at the former
high school. Members of Zeta
Tau Alpha sorority worked at the
Old Mill, which is now used by the
Waterworks Players, and visited
at Eldercare. Alpha Gamma
Delta sisters picked up trash
along Rt. 15 south. Members of
Longwood's Institutional
Advancement staff worked
outside at the Alumni House.
"I talked to guys who were
driving the town trucks and they
said they had never .seen people
working so hard," said Bailey.
"They picked up 275 bags of
grabage."

Longwood—
The University
Yes, that's right, friends and neighbors, for a
nominal fee of twenty-thousand dollars per year your
children will be able to follow in your footsteps and
graduate from Longwood in the year 2006. Longwood —
The University. You heard it right, friends — Longwood
University. And they'll have their choice of any one of
two-hundred and thirty-seven majors to choose from.
Yes, two-hundred and thirty-seven. Majors from
kayaking to bricklaying. That's right, Longwood, the
Southern Women's College in Farmville, Virginia, is
finally growing out of its diapers. There will be no stone
left unturned.
The College Board of Visitors met last week and
approved an eleven percent hike in tuition and fees for
the 1984-85 year. In-State resident students will be
paying $4,383 while out-of-state students will pay $5,608.
For you English majors, that's a $17,532 per diploma for
in-state and $22,432 per diploma for out-of-state
students. The Board cited the pursuit of "educational
excellence" as reasoning for the increase.
The current increase comes on the heels of another,
and, it seems, is part of an endless love of increases. As
students, our input into the actual necessity of the
increase as well as the budgeting itself, is nill. We are at
the mercy of THE BOARD, as it chooses to cite vague
reasons for the increase.
Further in the pursuit of "educational excellence",
the Board authorized the proposal of additional
programs in the Longwood curriculum. These programs
may be proposed to the State Council on Higher
Education and, if approved, initiated between 1986 and
1993. They include, at the undergraduate level,
programs in Actuarial Science, Management
Information Systems, Public Justice, Rural
Development, Energy Resource Management, Public
Administration, and Nursing. At the Graduate level,
your kids might be able to pick up an MBA at LU!
The Board of Visitors and others are clearly setting
their sights somewhere around Jupiter. It would be
ludicrous to establish thirteen new degree programs at a
school with 2500 students, and the attempt to do so would
only harm the existing programs.
Longwood currently has a vast majority of business
majors, and the economics minor was recently dropped
from the Business Department. And we're now going to
be able to support thirteen new majors? Hardly. The
effort is one in a series of such actions which makes
some few look very good, while the students of this
Your Turn
To the Editor:
"Unity" may be defined as a
group of individuals coming
together to achieve a common
goal. Now a group of students
here, at Longwood College, have
put these words into action, by
forming Unity. Unity's main
objective is to dissolve the silly
prejudices that are on
Longwood's campus. The group
hopes to accomplish their goal by
presenting a play entitled "Not
You" by Terry McAllister, a
member of Unity. This play will
have many of the prejudices that
blacks and whites feel towards
each other.
How did Unity originate? It
was Charles Pace's workshop on
Sunday, February 5, 1984, that
brought together and motivated
ten students to form Unity. Pace,
through a series of discussion
questions, assisted the students
in realizing how little black and
white students get together, and
how usually when they do get
together the main goal, of both
races, is to party.
Unity realizes that people
should be regarded as people
rather than by color; therefore,
they would like to see black and
white students, not only partying
together, but going beyond that
type of relationship to a group of
people with a common goal ... a
Unity.

Dear Sir:
I would like you to put the
following article in the next issue
of The Rotunda. If there are any
problems, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
On April 18th, ARA will feature
a birthday dinner featuring a
variety of French items. This
decision to offer French menu
items is correlated to the
promotion which is entitled
"Restore Freedom's Symbol."
This promotion revolves around
the restoration of the Statue of
Liberty which was given to us by
the French people in 1886. This
restoration which is entirely
being funded by public
contributions is essential as time
and environmental factors have
played its toll on the statue.
Indeed, without 230 million for
restoration the Statue of Liberty
will close by the year 1996. For
this reason, we are asking that
the Longwood community work
WEEKEND
Some c^.
in conjunction with ARA towards
this worthy cause. Contributions
need not be large. A mere 50
cents from every dorm student
would allow Longwood to
contribute close to 900 dollars.
Let's all do our share and
preserve this symbol of freedom.
Donations will be collected on the
evening of April 18th. Once again,
let's all do our share!

SPRING WEEKEND
Gene Cotton
A Review
By EDDIE HOLLANDER
I didn't want to review Gene
Cotton's show Thursday night in
the Gold Room. One of my
favorite artists was here at
Langwood, half-way through his
performance and I wasn't
enjoying it.
The songs were good,
naturally. After all, this was
Gene Cotton with "Ocean of Life"
and "Before My Heart Finds
Out," which were both hits in the
seventies. His twelve-string
guitar-work on "Ocean of Life"
was impressive and the crowd
was appreciative. Still, we were
an hour into this show, and I
wasn't excited. It wasn't great' it
was just good.
I was worried that this show
was going to be the Gene Cotton
Top Ten Hits Hour. Fortunately, I
soon found that I was wrong.
Most of the songs were from
Cotton's albums, but played
many of his less popular tunes.
"Junk Song" was very enjoyable,
and Cotton had a good time with
it, drawing the audience in to
participating. "Cosmic Book of
Jokes" was one of the evening's
many reversions in to a 1960's
spirit, and an example of Cotton's
brilliant song-writing. "Yours
People" was also very good.
Cotton's twenty minute comedy
routine was unnecessary and it
wasn't in keeping with the mood
of many of the evening's songs. I
didn't come to see Gene Cotton
the comic, and the routine was
not good enough to make me want
to see him again in that mode.
Once he was through the
comedy, however, I was again
impressed with his music. His
interpretation — yes,
interpretation — of the Beatle's
"Eleanor Rigby" was the
highlight of the show. It was
superb, and it showed the
heaviest emphasis on Cotton's
soothing voice of any song all
night. "Friend of Mine," written
on December 9, 1980, was a good
follow to "Eleanor Rigby."
"Shine On," which may be said to
be Cotton's theme song, was also
very good. Cotton closed the show
with "Circle Song" and a sing-
along of "Amazing Grace."
Cotton's performance was good,
though perhaps not at its best,
and I hope to see Gene Cotton at
Long wood again.
STA TES
In another Student Union's
freebie. The States were a
resounding success for the third
year in a row. But that was no
surprise. With the best combined
drumming, bass and vocals of
any Longwood-caliber band there
was no chance that The States
were going to be anything but a
great time. And if that show was
any indication of where they are
going in the future, it's right back
here next year, instead of on to
bigger things where a band of
their ability should be.
One could see it in the air about
the band that they have settled
into touring either as a warm-up
for other bands or in such
lucrative places as I^ngwood's
lower dining hall. They played
their songs with definite ease, an
ease that indicated not only a lot
of familiarity with the songs, but
the sheer fact that most of the
newer songs they were playing
were easy.
Like many bands today, The
States have shifted their style
enough to be considered another
of the syntho-pop bands that are
turning up all over the country.
Certainly The States figured that
their talent would go over big
when offered to the same
audience that bought up the
second British Invasion. But the
problem is that this new
movement has no requirement of
talent. Appearance is the
gimmick that these bands go on.
Transvestites and nearly bald
women in tacky smoking jackets
are ruling the charts with music
that a twelve year old could
perform on his Apple. And when
the audience saw such things as
the drum solo, the Romantics
older hit when they were playing
real new wave and The Trogs'
Wild Thing for an encore, they
showed by their responses that
The States are a rock-and-roll
band. And unless they start
wearing their hair like 80's
Osmond Brothers or something,
there's no other way that they are
going to get where they want to
be.
The band played excellent rock
and roll. But the newer tunes
were mediocre and they even
looked bored playing them. No
more Prince. Please, no more
Prince! The States are vastly
talented. And any time that they
decide to ditch that synthesizer
and play what they should be
playing they may never have to
see another cafeteria again.
—Mike Lynch
Snuff A Success
By VINCE DECKER
Snuff played to one of the
biggest paid crowds of the
year in the lower dining hall
Saturday night. No worn out
pre-programmed synthesized
funk this night — just good ole
stompin' music — Southern
rock at its best. Their sound,
blend of early Eagles with a
bit of Charlie Danielsish fiddle
thrown in for good measure
had the audience out of their
chairs and jumping early.
The vocal harmony was
reminiscent of Crosby, Stills
and Nash. The three guitarists
stood there looking and
sounding good, but the real
visual excitement was
provided by violinist Cecil
Hooker. Hooker never sang a
word, concentrating on his
bowwork, going into the
audience several times and
gyrating to the music with his
two feet of hair flying
everywhere but into the
strings.
The song list included
covers and originals but no
imitations. Some of the hotter
covers included Neil Young's
"Ohio," "Longtall Sally" and
"Friend of the Devil" by the
Grateful Dead. The Southern
beat and Hooker's bowwork
made me want to square
dance to the Dead. Snuff
originals like "Boys From
Oklahoma," "Night Fighter"
and "Definance in the Face of
Disaster" got some of the
evening's biggest responses.
Lead guitarist-singer Chuck
Larson introduced most of the
songs and was loaded with
humerous little cracks. "This
is for all you people who are
into farmin' and stuff like
that" opened a Bluegrass
medly. The introduction to
"Awesome Annie" got the
most laughter: "I saw her in
the comer a couple of minutes
ago — she was resting her
breasts on the table."
I was expecting to see an
Alabama clone and was very
pleasantly surprised that I
was wrong. Snuff is more of a
Rock band than a country
band, but that blend made for
some real fine hodown rock
and roll.
CecU Hooker appeared with Snuff Saturday night.
DJ For A Day
On Friday morning, two
Longwood students, Tami
Whitley and Kim Evoy joined the
WRVQ (Richmond) radio station
staff as guest D.J.'s on the "Q
Morning Zoo". Tami, a junior
from Newport News, and Kim, a
sophomore from New Jersey,
won the guest D.J. spot after
sending a poem which they had
written on the back of a
Cumbey's Jeweler (of
Farmville) bag.
Kim and Tami entered the
contest just to try something new
and just to have fun, which they
did. For the three hours that they
were on the air (from 6-9 a.m.)
their jobs included the early
morning wake-up call, the
"horrible" scope, and reading
the time and the weather. In
addition, Tami and Kim "ad-
libed" with the regular Q-
moming D.J.'s and operated the
sound effects instruments which
have become a regular part of the
Q Morning Zoo.
When asked what it was like,
they replied, "the D.J.'s made it
easy. They made fun of our
mistakes and kept it so light-
hearted that you didn't even
realize you were on the air . . . It
was an experience we'll never
forget." For having worked as
guest D.J.'s, Tami and Kim both
received a Q-94 T-shirt and a one
dollar check from WRVQ -94 in
Richmond.
States appeared in the Lower Dining Hall on Sunday.

Summer Campaign
(Continued from Page 1)
SERVE is a clearinghouse for
agency-based registration within
the human service community.
Agency-based registration
gives new dimension to the 1964
Mississippi Freedom Summer
Campaign. That era marked a
peak in student activism fueled
by the civil rights movement and
anti-war protests. Unlike the 1964
campaign, concentrated in the
rural deep South, the 1984 effort
will be launched in large urban
centers and industrial states
where millions are unregistered.
Freedom Summer Reg-
istration sites include: Cali-
fornia, Connecticute, Colorado,
Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa,
Louisiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
New Mexico, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia. For more

Ashby^ Lancers Are On A Roll
Golfers Finish Third
By RONNIE BROWN
Todd Ashby and the Longwood
College baseball team are on a
roll. Before Friday's loss to
William & Mary, the Lancers
boasted a 214 record, 15 straight
wins and 12th place national
ranking in NCAA Division II. One
of the big contributors to
Ijongwood's season is Ashby, a
graduate of Buffalo Gap High
School. The sophomore pitcher
has a 5-1 record and a 3.44 earned
run average, while walking just
10 batters to 39 innings.
Just last Monday Ashby, a
Churchville native, picked up
credit for the win as Longwood
knocked off Virginia 2-1, handing
the Cavaliers their first loss
outside the Atlantic Coast
Conference. The lefthander
pitched seven and two-thirds
innings, scattered seven hits and
gave up only one run.
Ashby is one of the leaders of
Ivongwood's young pitching staff.
"Scott Mills and I are the
upperclassmen on the pitching
staff and that has inspired us to
bring out our talents," explained
Ashby. "Coach told Scott and me
that he would count on us to pitch
the big games. That puts
pressure on me, but it's a
constructive pressure to do my
best."
Longwood Coach Buddy
Bolding, who was a pitcher in his
college days, respects Ashby's
ability to pitch the big games.
"I took to Todd as a leader on
the team," says Bolding. "He
pitches well under pressure and
holds runners on. He can also be
used as a relief pitcher in a jam.
Todd is continuing to develop into
a fine pitcher."
Ashby graduated from Buffalo
Gap in 1981 and made a stop at
Blue Ridge Community College
where he improved his study
habits for Longwood. Todd has
not only worked hard on his
studies, but also on his pitching
and physical conditioning.
Pitchers must keep up a year-
round program of running and
weight training to be effective in
the spring and Ashby is no
exception.
"You have to dedicate yourself
to baseball year-round," said
Ashby. "At the beginning of the
season Coach can tell if you
haven't been in shape. Getting
my legs in shape has helped my
arms because it takes the
pressure off."
In coaching Ashby and the
other Lancer hurlers, Bolding
stresses the idea of throwing the
ball over the plate and forcing the
hitter to make the mistakes
rather than the pitcher.
"By throwing early strikes, I
can dictate what the batter hits,"
explained Ashby. "I've de-
veloped good control and I'm
not scared to throw a 3-1
curveball. Coach _ Bolding's
emphasis on throwing early
strikes has helped me improve
my control."
Ashby was privileged to play
under another former pitcher at
Buffalo Gap in Coach Dave
Lineweaver.
"My high school coach was a
pitcher and he knew the
fundamentals which helped me
develop my curveball. A lot of
high school pitching is just
blowing the ball past the hitter,"
explained Ashby.
Ashby has received some good
advice over the years and now he
passes on what he has learned to
his teammates.
"In practice we all get together
on how to throw a certain pitch,"
he explained. "My teammates
have helped me with my
screwball. The rest of the staff
gives me encouragement. We
support each other."
Ashby and the other Longwood
pitchers have gotten solid
support both on defense and at
the plate. The Lancers have a
team fielding percentage of .962
and a team batting average of
.354. Longwood is averaging nine
runs per game to the opposition's
four.
In 1982 Longwood received a
bid to the South Atlantic Region
Tournament in Valdosta, Georgia
and advanced all the way to the
Division II World Series in
Riverside, California.
Ashby and his teammates feel
they can qualify for another trip
to the playoffs.
"I think we can go back to
Valdosta," says Todd. "Every
person on the team knows his job
and if we all contribute, we will
have a chance of making it
again."

12 teams in the Penn State Lady
Lion Invitational Golf
Tournament Saturday and
Sunday at the Penn State Blue
Course in State College,
Pennsylvania.
While Division I power Ohio
State won the crown with a 918,
Longwood put together rounds of
328-334-354 for a 1016 total and a
tie with Bowling Green (OH) for
sixth place.

Lacrosse Team Suffers Loss
Longwood lost its second
lacrosse game in three days
during the last minute of play
Saturday as visiting Maryland
Baltimore County scored late to
take an 8-7 win, dropping the
Lady Lancers to 1-5 on the
season.
This week Longwood plays at
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College Tuesday, at Rollins
Thursday and hosts Bridgewater
Saturday.
In action last week Coach Mary
Willson Schill's squad fell to
Lynchburg 7-3 Tuesday, lost to
Mary Washington 9-8 Thursday
and then suffered another one-
goal loss Saturday.
Longwood played well against
UMBC despite the absence of
starters Sue Groff and Ellen
Cykowski. Mariana Johnson
scored four goals and goalie
Lorraine Hall had 10 saves in the
first period.
Groff (knee) and Cykowski
(ribs) were both injured in the
Mary Washington contest, but
hope to be back in action this
week. Groff had four goals,
Cykowski three and Johnson one
in the loss to Mary Washington.
Coach Schill felt Longwood
played much better against the
Blue Tide than it had in
Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Lynchburg.
The Longwood junior varsity
team beat Lynchburg 5-4 to even
its record at 1-1.
Lanie Gerken topped
Longwood with an 83-77-85-245

By KELLY SICKLER
On Tuesday morning. Her field
was graced with the presence of
athletes of every size, age, and
background. The purest kind of
athlete. Athletes whose
determination and stamina
helped them to overcome even
the greatest of handicaps.
The 4th Annual Special
Olympic games began at 9 a.m.
with a parade consisting of kazoo
players, clowns, athletes and
their sponsors. In all, there were
approximately 75 athletes
participating in events such as
the Softball throw, the 50 yard
dash and the broad jump. There
were even special activities for
the severely handicapped who for
some reason were unable to
participate in the regular
activities. One new event that
turned out to be especially
successful was a dance held
inside Her gym in which
everyone participated.
Tuesday was cold and
overcast, but the Olympics were
a success, thanks to the
Therapeutic Recreation
Organization, who sponsored the
Olympics. Also deserving
recognition were the individual
sponsors, who helped the
athletes, and to the many area
stores and businesses who
donated so much.
The participants came from
the Sheltered Workshop, Charter
Oaks in Blackstone (a training
center for the handicapped), and
area elementary and middle
school special education classes.
The mood was not "win" but
instead "do your best, give it
your all." And even though
ribbons were given for 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place, everyone that
participated was a winner.

Students In Accident
By JERRY DAGENHART
Longwood Students: Matthew John Balmforth and Carlos Al-
verez, were in an automobile accident on Wednesday, April 18,
that nearly cost them their lives. A third student, Lyle Vick, es-
caped with minor contusions and abrasions. Matt was thrown
17 feet from the vehicle and received extensive injuries to his
head. Carlos was thrown 49 feet and received injuries to his
pelvis and hip. Both of the students were flown to MCV Hospital
where they are now receiving treatment.
Carlos will be in traction for 4-6 weeks. Although he passed
through a critical stage, Chico has completely stabilized. Aside
from the discomfort of traction and the revolving bed which
regulated' his body fluids, Chico is in great spirits. The doctors
are expecting a full recovery for Chico and visitors are en-
couraged.
Matt, unfortunately, is still quite critical. He has never
regained consciousness, however, his vital signs have
stabilized. Despite Matt's unconsciousness, he has shown some
motor movement in his lefthand. Matt's major medical concern
is the pressure on his brain. He has undergone brain surgery
three times and is on paralyzing drugs, but his doctors say they
are optomistic for his recovery.
LC Students To Study In France
A group of Longwood College
students will study for three
weeks this summer at the
University of Toulouse in France.
Known as the Summer Study
Abroad Program in France, it is
part of Longwood's emphasis on
"world consciousness," one of 14
new student-development goals
at the College. From June 17-July
7, the students will take a
language and culture class —
worth three credits — at the
University's Foreign Language
Institute. Seven students will be
going, said Dr. Jill Kelly,
assistant professor of French at
Longwood.
They are: Joanne Akers of
Richmond, Theresa Alford of
Meherrin, Alicia Ashton of
Winchester, Vicki Edwards of
Richmond, Joanne Harwell of
Waverly, Patricia Moore of
McLean, and Jane Wimbish of
Stuart.
Some students also will
arrange independent study in
their major. The participants
represent a variety of majors and
minors, Kelly said.
The average level of French
proficiency for the students is the
fourth semester. Five of the
students are scheduled to take an
intensive, all-day French course
early this summer before leaving
for Toulouse, said Kelly.
The students will live in the
University's residence halls and
eat in the dining hall, which will
provide contact with French
students. There will be side trips
on the weekends, including a visit
to Paris. During their stay, the
students will travel as a group.
The University of Toulouse,
which has an enrollment of about
10,000, is noted for its business
and law schools. It dates from
1229 and is located in
southwestern France, not far
from the Pyrenees mountains
that border Spain. Several top
administrators from the
University visited Longwood last
September for consultation about
academic exchanges.
520 To Graduate
Jones To Speak At Graduation
Dr. Gary L. Jones, Under
Secretary of Education, U. S.
Department of Education, will
speak at Longwood College's
commencement on Saturday,
May 19, at 9 a.m. on Wheeler
Mall. This is Longwood's 100th
commencement as a "teacher-
education" institution, and the
speaker is the number two
official in the U. S. Department of
Education.
Some 520 degrees will be
awarded, including 479
baccalaureate degrees and 41
master's degrees.
Several prizes and awards will
be presented during ceremonies.
The Sally Barksdale Hargrett
Prize, a $2,000 cash award, will
be given to the graduate with the
highest grade point average. Two
outstanding members of the
faculty will be honored with the
Maria Bristow Starke Award and
the Faculty Recognition Award
(the recipient chosen by a student
committee).
Twenty graduates who
participated in Longwood's
ROTC program will be
commissioned as second
lieutenants in the U. S. Army.
Dr. Jones was nominated as
Under Secretary of Education by
President Reagan on May 4, 1982,
confirmed by the Senate on
October 6, 1982, and sworn in by
Secretary T. H. Bell the following
day.
As chief operating officer of the
Department of Education, he
manages an organization of 5,300
employees with an operating
budget of $290 miUion and a
program budget of more than $15
billion. In addition, he is the
principal political adviser on
education and related issues to
the Secretary of Education and,
with the Secretary, to the
President and White House staff.
Before going to the Department
of Education, Dr. Jones was vice
president of the MacArthur
Foundation in Chicago and
directed its general grants
program. For six years, he was
vice president of the American
Enterprise Institute for Public
Policy Research. He also has
been executive assistant to U. S.
Senator Robert Griffin of
Michigan.
A resident of Fairfax, Dr.
Jones held an at-large
appointment to the Fairfax
County School Board for four
years. He was responsible for
initiating Board action that
increased graduation
requirements, changed the
grading policy, and created a
new political science curriculum
in Fairfax County schools.
LC And UVA To Cooperate
ew Program
InN
Longwood College and the
University of Virginia have
announced a cooperative
"Physicist to Electrical
Engineer" program that makes
it possible for a student to earn a
bachelor's degree in physics and
a master's degree in electrical
engineering in five years.
The "3 + 2" dual-degree
program begins with three years
plus one summer of study at
Longwood to complete general
education and major
requirements for the physics
degree.
During the summer prior to the
fourth year, the student enrolls in
the Physicist to Electrical
Engineer Summer Program at
the University of Virginia, a nine-
week program that carries 12
hours of academic credit.
Upon satisfactory completion
of the summer program, the
student will have fulfilled all of
Longwood's requirements for the
B.S. or B.A. degree in physics
and will be ready to follow a
regular electrical engineering
graduate program at U.Va.,
leading to either the Master of
Engineering or the Master of
Science in electrical engineering.
The graduate portion of the
electrical engineering
department of the University of
Virginia."
To be admitted into U. Va.'s
Physicist to Electrical Engineer
Summer Program, the
Longwood physics major must
maintain an overall B average
and a B+ average in the major
requirements.
The new 3 + 2 program is
Longwood's third dual-degree
program will require from 15 to opportunity but the first to offer a
24 months to complete, depending master's degree. The college also
upon which master's degree is
sought.
Dr. Edmond Conway, dean of
the faculty at Longwood, said
that the agreement between the
two institutions will provide "a
valuable new educational
opportunity, using the existing
facilities of Longwood and the
has cooperative arrangements
with the Georgia Institute of
Technology and Old Dominion
University which permit a
student to earn a bachelor's
degree in physics from Longwood
and a second bachelor's degree in
engineering from the partner
institution.
Faculty Salaries Increase
By VINCE DECKER
Faculty salaries went up again
this year, but not as fast as in the
past, a new survey of the college
teaching faculty has found.
The average faculty salary has
gone up 5.7 percent since the 1982-
83 school year, the American
Association of University
Professors (AAUP) found in
preliminary results from its
annual study of how much college
teachers make. But faculty
salaries went up 7.9 percent in
1982-83, and 9.9 percent in 1981-82.
The slowing rate of increases is
due to the declining amounts of
money state legislatures are
giving to colleges. Over the last
two years, administrators have
said the major reason they had to
raise tuition much faster than the
inflation rate is because they
must pay faculty members more.
Ironically, as student tuition is
being raised in order to pay
faculty members more, faculty
salary increases continue to slow
down.
Faculty members at private
colleges did sUghtly better than
those at public campuses.
Independent college teachers got
average raises of 7.6 percent.
Their colleagues on public
campuses got average five
percent increases. Longwood
faculty received considerably

SGA Improving?
In January, the Student Government Association
set up a list of ten goals for 1984. Early this month, they
reported progress on the goals to the Board of Visitors.
The SGA isn't exactly storming the campus to meet it's
goals, but it is taking strong steps in the right direction,
steps to strengthen itself and it's relations with both the
student body and the College administration.
For the average student, the SGA has been rather
useless in the past couple of years. Occasionally, she
might get to vote in an election (for people she didn't
know), or go to an Open Forum, but the average student
was usually passed over by a cliquish group of SGA
leaders. The current leaders seem to be trying to change
all of that.
Of the ten goals for this year, four are directly
aimed at increasing the Association's representation of
students: to "represent students' needs and desires" in
the area of academic affairs, to "channel student
concerns" in reestablishing the dining hall committee,
to "take firm stands on student issues" (this is a bit too
vague), and to "organize monthly open forums about
relevant issues". These four goals are reflective of
normal SGA functions at most schools across the nation,
but their establishment at Longwood is a positive move
to let the SGA operate not as the project of a few
students but as the voice of the student body. The SGA
and its leaders are to be commended for the
establishment of such goals and encouraged as they
strive to fulfill them.
Another goal of the SGA is to motivate students to
participate in their own governing body, not an easy
task at Longwood. "For the administration to listen to
us," notes SGA President Randy Chittum, "we must be
more representative of the student body, but I don't
know how to motivate people here." The steps being
taken in that direction should make the Association
more accessible to the students, and with some effort,
get them involved.
The ten goals, along with the SGA's new attitude,
indicate that our student body will have a better
opportunity to govern itself. Such a change, if it is
possible here, would greatly improve the College as a
whole.
Your Turn
To the Editor:
As Art's Editor of The Rotunda,
I feel it is my duty to express that
Mr. Johnson's review of Hedda
Gabler is a gross injustice to the
realm of art, dramatic and
otherwise. Johnson may feel he
has the perfect literary definition
of tragedy, however, it is obvious
that he knows very little about
clothing in the 1890's, or
furnishings of the same period. If
he had read Hedda Gabler
recently, he would have known
that the play took place in the
1890's. He would have also seen
Ibsen's specific instructions for
Brack to wear a monocle.
The costume designs were
researched from European
drawings of the era and were
historically correct. Not only did
aristocratic Scandinavian
women wear gowns that exposed
their shoulders and cleavage, but
it is also certain that one such as
Hedda, (who had just returned
from her honeymoon) would be
wearing one. As for Thea
Elvsted's blue and gold costume,
she could have just "stepped out
of the 1890's" (that was the era of
the play). However, I find it hard
to believe anyone would have
worn such a conservative dress in
a saloon. As to the colors blue and
gold, any derivative of blue and
amber is the most commonly
used coloring in stage lighting. It
is for this reason that those colors
were chosen for Thea's dress.
Ibsen's Thea is illuminate and to
quote Lovborg, "lovely to look
at". Therefore, it makes perfect
artistic sense to place Hedda's
contrasting character in a
conservative blue and gold dress.
Johnson's comments were not all
unfounded. Some of the men's
clothing was in need of further
alteration and obviously not as
aesthetically attractive ^s the
other costumes.
To address the supposedly
anachronistic piano stool, I guess
an 1895 wooden piano stool can
look like a modem, metallic one
from the audience.
It infuriates me to no end to see
someone critique art when they
do not understand the "genre" if
it is literary, the period, or style,
if it is visual, and the
dramaturgy, if it is dramatic.
I feel that a reviewer should
first reread the script carefully,
and then research the artistic
style of the scenery and costumes
before he criticizes them. If
Johnson had been as careful in
his artistic criticism as he was in
his criticism of tragedy, the
review would have been correct
and ideal, whether it was
complimentary or not would not
have mattered in that case.
Sincerely,
Jerry L. Dagenhart
Cartoon Was ^^Tactless"
MJA
To the Editor:
This letter is concerning the
cartoon in the April 10th Rotunda.
It was a very distasteful cartoon
putting down the Education
Majors at Longwood. It was also
very tactless to print it the week
before the student teachers
returned to Longwood. The
student teachers have not been
out "playing and partying" for
the past ten weeks. They have
been paying money, not for beer,
but for 14 hours of hard work a
day, unlike other majors who get
paid for doing their internship.
This work begins at 7:30 in the
morning, and from the time the
students get there at 8:30 until
they leave at 3:00, the teachers

Exhibit Features Indian Artifact
Relics left by the Indians who
inhabited the Virginia Piedmont
long before the advent of the first
European explorers are featured
in a special exhibition which
opened April 20 in the Bedford
Gallery at Longwood College.
The exhibit, entitled "Stones,
Bones and Clay: An
Archeological View of the Indians
of the Virginia Piedmont," is
sponsored by Longwood's Field
School in Archeology and the
Department of Art. It is
supported in part by a grant from
the Virginia Foundation for the
Humanities and Public Policy.
Some 200 prehistoric
archeological artifacts will be
included in the exhibit. The
"stones, bones, and clay"
artifacts have been identified as
parts of the day-to-day tool kit
which would have been used by
Indians before European contact.
They date from 300 to 3,000 years
ago.
Most of the artifacts were
unearthed by Field School
students at three dig sites in the
local area — the Anna's Ridge
site in the Cumberland State
Forest, the rock shelter site on
WiUis Mountain, and the Smith-
Taylor Mound site on the
Appomattox River near
Farmville. A few of the artifacts
are on loan from the private
collections of area residents.
Barbara Bishop, director of the
Bedford Gallery, is displaying
the artifacts in about 30
groupings. With each group are
"eyewitness accounts on how
Indians in Virginia were seen
using such tools." These accounts
were written by early explorers
and travelers in the area.
S
In the center of the gallery
there is a plexiglass box, about
eight by 10 feet and two-and-a-
half feet deep, filled with dirt.
"The viewer will be able to see
what a slice of an archeological
excavation site looks like," Dr.
Jordan said. "Artifacts will be
visible at different depths in the
dirt, just as they would be found
in a real dig."
The Stones, Bones and Clay
exhibit will remain in the Bedford
Gallery through July 27. Gallery
hours through the end of the
spring semester (May 6) will be
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. ; Saturday,
2 to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 5 to 9
p.m. After the close of the spring
semester, the exhibit will not be
open on Saturday and Sunday.

HAPPENINGS
Alums Offer Career Tips
Getting along with people is
vital to a successful career,
stressed several Longwood
College graduates who returned
to campus recently for a career-
guidance program.
"When I was a student here, I
was involved in several
organizations, and that helps me
deal with people," said Karen
Kelsey, co-manager of a Wendy's
in Richmond. "Sometimes you
have to stand there and grin
while a customer is cussing you
out."
Kelsey, a marketing-
management major ('83), was
one of five graduates who
participated in an Alumni
Symposium and Career Day on
April 12. Activities included a
reception at Ix)ngwood House, a
dinner in the Prince Edward
Room, and a "Career Fair" in
Lankford. The program was
sponsored by the Office of Career
Planning and Placement, and the
Alumni Association.
The alumni informally
discussed their careers, their job
search and Longwood's strengths
with students.
"I just got lucky and created
my own interview," explained
Randy Johnson, a special
projects technician for Philip
Morris in Richmond. "I kept
calling (Philip Morris) until I got
the right number. They gave me
an interview, but said they
weren't hiring at that time. But
two weeks later they called me
back and hired me on a
temporary basis."
Johnson, a business
administration major ('83), was
later made a permanent
employee. "I think being
personable helped me get my job.

Martha Burton, administrative
assistant for the Crater Planning
District Commission in
Petersburg, told how her
previous experience as a grocery
store clerk later proved valuable
— she was able to discuss the
potential effects of a pending bill
with state legislators.
"Any work experience is
significant, especially if it's
working with the public," said
Burton, a government major
('76). "You learn how to relate
with all kinds of people, and you
learn how to be pleasant."
Sharon Harrup is center
coordinator of Charter Oak II, a
day care center in Blackstone for
mentally retarded adults.
Longwood's degree program in
therapeutic recreation helped her
land the position.
"The thereapeutic recreation
faculty here are superior to any
faculty (of their kind) in the
state," said Harrup. "The
accomplishments of Longwood
graduates reflect on the quality
of the faculty."
Kelsey, who already has been
promoted twice, said she didn't
expect to have a career in the
fast-food business. "People look
at fast-food restaurants and say
'How can you do that?' But
there's so much to do. In my
position, you do everything from
hiring to firing to cleaning the
bathroonms. I thoroughly enjoy
it."
Johnson offered advice for
future job-seekers: "Don't leave
any stone unturned. Try all
outlets; anything might help you.
And realize that you can't start
out at the top."
1983 graduate Karen Kelsey stands behind her company's slogan.

Tragedy is, by its nature, the
most difficult theatrical genre. A
comedy may fall flat because the
best lines are delivered to dead
ears but there is always a unique
situation or character to redeem
its performance. Tragedy,
however, particularly a fairly
modern realistic tragedy,
requires an audience's
immersion into the characters'
lives and parts. The stage has to
come alive and seem real for it to
be effective. Whether this
happened in the Longwood
Players' presentation of Henrik
Ibsen's Hedda Gabler remains
debatable. Certainly it was not as
Henry James wrote in reviewing
the first English performance of
Ibsen's now famous play. a
picture of "a state of nerves as
well as of soul, a state temper of Brack, seems to
health, of chagrin, of despair." interpreted his

Berta, the maid, needs to stop

acting like a maid. It is apparent
that she hasn't been on stage for
sometime and her inexperience
shows. Her timing is off; gestures
are mismatched with words.
She's still spouting lines without
believing in them or in herself.
Anthony Russo's interpretation
or the director's interpretation of
the character of Jurgen Tesman
nearly turns a tragedy into a
farce. Russo is far too animated
and far too lively for a tithering
academic like Tesman, whose
specialty is putting other people's
papers into order. He should be
more reticent and abstract, more
concerned with propriety than
waving his hands about like a
blustering old maid. Tesman is,
after all, one of the characters
who adheres to Appraiser
Brack's last line — "people don't
do such things."

tension necessary to "pull off" Why does he leer when a subtle
Alyssa Abbey, Connie Watkins, Vhice Decker, Jeff Abemathy, Anthony Russo
Connie Watkins and Vince Decker
smile or even nod would do? Why
must he present himself in a way
which inunediately forces the
audience to think they are
witnessing the performance of a
"camp" villain and not a realistic
character with more than one
dimension? Decker, it must be
admitted, is wonderful at camp
and that is no doubt the reason he
won the Longwood Players' best
actor award, but still one has to
ask the inevitable — what is
camp doing in tragedy?
Certamiy Ibsen intended for
these characters to provide the
play with a degree of comic
relief. But his intentions weren't
for the comic elements of the play
to overpower the tragic and that
is nearly what happens on
Jarman's stage. The result is a
loss of tension and realism on
stage which forces the audience
to wonder whether they are
witnessing a realistic tragedy or
a poorly timed battle of the wits.
The director would have taken
more control in the performances
of Decker and Russo and pointed
out the weaknesses in their
interpretations. He apparently
didn't.
The director could have also
sparked Jeff Abernathy's
portrayal of Ejlert Lovborg into a
semblance of vitality. Abemathy
should have been loosened up a
little; he should have been forced
to breathe some energy into his
act. Lovborg is presumably the
genius who has just completed a
book on the future workings of
society. He is the .wild
BacchanaUan who had provoked
an astonished Hedda Gabler with
his escapades, yet Abernathy's
performance is paralytic. He's
the one thing Lovborg would
probably never be — self-
conscious.
The most difficult role of the
evening was, of course, Hedda
Gabler's, the enigmatic woman
at the center of this drama. She is
part femme fatale and part
victim. One imagines that her
character would be fastidiously
concerned with the beautiful,
with an idealistic sense of
elegance in one's behavior and in
one's environment. What she
would abhor most is mediocrity.
In short, she would be an
aristocrat caught and tormented
in a stuffy provincial middle
class society.
I'm not certain if this is what
we get in Connie Watkins'
portrayal of Hedda Gabler. She
does huff and puff a lot, but the
actions seem to be characteristic
of a bitchy southern belle, rather
than a Norwegian aristocrat. Her
performance does achieve the
demonic element inherent in
Hedda's character, but they
almost eliminate the other
"parts" of her which have to
come through for the audience to
appreciate the tragedy. Her
sense of refinement is completely
missing. Her role as victim, as a
person trapped in a stultifying
environment, is lacking or al-
together absent which leaves
the audience less than
sympathetic. Her suicide at the
end of the fourth act seems to be
merely a circumstance on stage;
one in a long line of cir-
cumstances that didn't have
the emotional impact they should
have had, because of poor
characterization and acting.
In the areas of costuming and
set, the less said the better. Jeff
Abemathy ought to leam to wear
a belt or should have his trousers
hemmed up to his knees. The 20th
century metal piano stool on
stage as a prop is as noticeable an
anachronism as the dress that
Alyssa Abbey wears during Act II
and III of her performance as
Thea Elvsted. Did she arrive
straight from a hot saloon in
California or perhaps it's a
Victorian version of the Dallas
Cowboy cheerleaders' uniforms?
The bright pastels don't seem any
more appropriate than the off-
the-shoulder dress that Connie
Watkins wore at one point during
the play. (One hardly thinks of an
aristocrat as having slumped
shoulders.) Finally, though, one
good point — the lighting of the
portrait of General Gabler at the
end of the performance was well
done and quite effective.
Overall, for a college
presentation, it was adequate, if
not entertaining. P'or the
Longwood Players, it was
probably their best performance
of the semester. For a world class
drama however, it had quite a
few shortcomings.
Page 6 THE ROTUNDA Tuesday, May 1,1984
Presidents Want To Quit Physical Fitness Workshop
(CPS) — Despite what
students, faculty, and
administrators might think,
college presidents don't have it
made in their life at the top, at
least according to a still-to-be-
released study by the Association
of Governing Boards of
Universities and Colleges.
On the contrary, college
presidents' jobs are filled with
stress, long hours, few payoffs,
and a feeling of isolation —
factors which cause one out of
four to teeter on the edge of
resigning, according to Marian
Gade, one of the researchers
working on the report,
"Strengthening Presidential
Leadership."
Gade and her fellow
researchers have interviewed
more than 800 college presidents,
their spouses, and other top
university officials for the study.
While three of four of the
presidents say they like their
jobs, one out of four would like to
resign at the first opportunity,
the study has found.
Only 25 percent of the
presidents say they thoroughly
enjoy their jobs, the researchers
report.
Half say they like their jobs
more than they dislike them.
The rest are more or less
disillusioned and burned out,
ready to leave office for another
position, the study shows.
The stress, loneliness of the
job, and long hours required of
college presidents are the main
reasons for the widespread
dissatisfaction, Gade says.
"Few people really know what
a complex job the presidency is,
even at a small institution," she
points out. "The causes of stress
are those of financial pressures,
working full-time, seven days a
week, 24 hours a day, of dealing
with collective bargaining, and
more and more state and federal
controls."
Presidents are also a lonely lot,
she says, who don't identify with
faculty, are politically separated
from administrators, and
typically not appreciated by their
boards of trustees.
Indeed, turnover among
college presidents in the last year
seems to confirm the study's
early findings.
Smith College President Jill
Conway, for instance, announced
her resignation last month,
saying she needed more time
with her family and had had
enough for the pressures and
strains of her 10-year tenure.
In February, Walter Leonard,
president of embattled Fisk
University — a predominantly-
black college on the financial
skids — said he was so drained by
the constant presures that he
wanted to quit before his planned
retirement this coming
December.
And Cecil Mackey, five-year
president of once-beleaguered
Michigan State, recently
announced he will leave his office
in June 1985, under pressure from
the board of trustees.
Among other things, the board
was upset with Mackey's hiring
of head football coach George
Perles in 1982.

On Thursday, April 25, Lancer
Gym held a two-hour "Physical
Fitness and Aerobic Exercise
Workshop" for Longwood College
and the Farmville conmiunity.
The program, designed by senior
physical education majors
Ronnie Reese and Rodney Cullen,
was intended to give members of
the Farmville community "an
opportunity to be tested in
various levels of physical fitness,
and see where you (the
individual) rank physically with
the national averages". In
addition, it provided participants

an opportunity to "make
available some aerobic exercises
and aerobic dancing that can be
used in developing a physical
fitness program" and to
introduce to them aerobics
programs available through the
college.
The program, which had a good
overall turnout, consisted of each
participant keeping an individual
score sheet of a series of tests and
comparing them to national
averages.
All tests were compiled by
Ronnie and Rodney and included
a step test, a flexibility test, a
grip strength test, skinfold
measurements, an abdominal
strengths test, and a vital
capacity test.
Aerobics are an integral part of
a good physical fitness program,
however, there are several
precautions one should take
before beginning such a
program, such as a complete
medical checkup. For more
information on aerobics or a
complete physical fitness
program contact Ronnie Reese in

Third Ranked Lancers
Longwood's baseball team
bounced back after four
disappointing losses, taking four
wins over the weekend, and
established a new record for wins
in the regular season. Now 29-9,
Coach Buddy Holding's 1984
edition bettered the regular
season mark set by the 1982
region champs — 28-7-1.
The Lancers, who close out the
regular season Wednesday at
Virginia State (doubleheader
starts at 12:30), would appear to
be in line for their second bid to
the South Atlantic Region
Tournament in the past three
seasons. Coach Holding, a
member of the regional selection
committee, says Longwood
should know about the playoffs by
Sunday.
Longwood fell to Division I's
Virginia Tech and James
Madison and NAIA power
Norfolk State last week before
coming back to beat St. Mary's
and Howie State in four games.
The Uncers lost at VPI 6-3,
dropped a twinbill to 17th ranked
Norfolk St. 11-8 and 14-7
Wednesday and fell to a James
Madison rally 16-12 Friday.
Saturday Longwood whipped
St. Mary's 22-2 and 13-0 and
Bowie State 11-1 and 15-3 Sunday
at home. Longwood got complete
game performances from
pitchers Mike Buttler, Tonmiy
Walsh, Tony Browning and Scott
Mills over the weekend.
Most impressive of the pitchers
was Browning, a freshman
righthander. In Sunday's 11-1 win
over Bowie, he hurled a four-
hitter and walked just one batter.
Browning has issued only nine
free passes in 43.6 innings this
spring.
With seven players batting .371
or higher, it's no surprise that
Longwood has an eye-popping
.364 team batting average. The
Lancers haven't been shut-out in
69 games over a two year period.
The Lancers out-hit
homestanding JMU, ranked 24th
in Division I, 16-13 Friday.
Longwood led 6-1 after three and
one-half innings, but the Dukes
rallied with the help of an un-
characteristic 11 walks given up
by Lancer pitchers.
Third baseman Marty Ford
had four hits with a two-run
homer and a double against JMU
while Jeff Mayone, Todd
Thompson and Tom Klatt had
three hits apiece.
Longwood hitting leader John
Sullivan went 3-3 with a double,
triple and five RBI's in
Saturday's opening win over St.
Mary's. Sonny Bolton added four
RBI's with a two-run homer.
Morgan Is Player Of The Week
Senior golfer Sue Morgan led
Longwood to a second place
finish in the UNC-Wilmington
Invitational Tournament April
20-21 and for her performance,
Morgan has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period April 20-27.
Morgan, the team captain, had
rounds of 79-78-77 for a 234 total in
the Wihnington tournament. Her
score was good for a third place
tie among 25 individual golfers.
and was the top performance by a
member of the women's golf
team this spring.
In the fall season she placed
third in the Longwood
Invitational with a 73-83-74-230,
just one stroke off the school
record for 54 holes.
She earned a scholarship with
her improved play last season,

THE ROTUNDA
k Sox 1133
As the Class of 1988 enters Longwood College,
formal education in the United States is among the last
of pathways leading from oppression to freedom, from
ignorance to enlightenment. Education alone can offer
solutions to the social problems which face our society
and which threaten to tear it apart. Never before has
formal education held such a precarious yet crucial role
in society. Precarious because its base, students across
the nation, appear not to desire any position of social
responsibility. Crucial because they must assume such
a position if our society is to rid itself of the threats
against it. Our society must come to see higher
education as a step in the process of maturity which
teaches us not merely task performance but also social
responsibility. The latter has become the most critical
factor in education today.
As the rhetoric of world leaders sounds increasingly
offensive and decreasingly defensive, as ignorance
continues to progress prejudice, and as extreme
materialism and greed are looked upon with favor,
education has become our last line of defense. Only
through education can poverty be checked. Only
through education can the military threats to our globe
be overcome. And only through education can our white
dove finally "sleep in the sand". Education, then, is
severely lacking when it encourages the individual to be
concerned solely with personal needs. There are far
more important social objectives.
This does not, however, place the total burden on
faculty and student development staffs alone. It is their
charge to encourage a sense of social consciousness. It
is ours, as students, to accept and build this sense.
Two decades ago, feelings of social consciousness
among students were gathering a force which would
change a nation. In 1984, students have become
lackadaisical in their concern for society. Personal
needs have replaced the importance societal needs once
held among students in this nation. Voter registration is
down severely. In Connecticut, a group of students
recently held a sit-down strike. Their demands? only
one: that the dining hall serve Froot Loops for
breakfast. Ah, vanity. Vanity born of ego.
This egotism seems common today among all of us
The Class Of '88
as students. In 1984, we are first concerned with
ourselves: what major will turn the biggest profit for us
as individuals, what activities will "look good" on a
resume. Neither of these is in itself socially
irresponsible, but they do reflect a turn inward in our
principles. We have seemingly rejected the very ideals
which gave students the most power they ever held:
ideals of social responsibility and common cause. In the
Vietnam years, colleges and universities were the pulse
and conscience of a nation. Today, if anything, we are
the appendix, of that same nation, undesired and
unnecessary.
Such is the state of the student body of this and all-
to-many other colleges in the United States today. We
accept social injustice and incomprehensible military
spending without a word.
We see strong parallels between Central America
and Southeast Asia, and, as the dove sails pensively
over head, we stand shouting on the beach. When the
generation to take power in the decades to come fails to
voice its interest in society, it has voluntarily abandoned
that very society. It has failed. This failure could easily
become our own as students in today's society. If so,
failure can be blamed on our complacency within the
college environment. These fouryears of college can be
so secure for us that we refuse to acknowledge any
threat to that security; effectively locking our doors and
closing our minds to all that happens around us.
Complacency, however, is far from the only
alternative for students to choose. We are able to
observe, evaluate, and participate in society from a
different perspective as students than we will be able to
ever again, perhaps a much clearer perspective.
Abandoning this opportunity, we are tied to a system
already laid out for us. Utilizing it, the choices are all
our own.
Ego may well motivate the student of 1984, perhaps
much more so than it did the student of 1971. Yet they
are much the same animal, and, in time, a sense of
consciousness may return to students in the eighties. We
must strive, however, to assure that it does not return
too late.

■*• ^M'M. M.M.M. T M,M,M.\^ Bv ERIC T. HOI ISFKNECHT
By ERIC T. HOUSEKNECHT, ESQ.
According to our own Office
of Public Affairs, Longwood
has received a record number
of apphcations for admission
to the fall 1984 semester. The
2,711 applications received
represent a 3.7 percent
increase over last year's
record-breaking total. As each
new school year brings more
applications and, inevitably,
a larger enrollment, the
student body sees a greater
sampling of neophyte scholars
from all over the country and
even abroad. To what do we
owe this deluge of worldwide
requests for admission to
Farmville's academic
community? Looking far
beyond the usual unwarranted
notions about the grandeur of
studying at a small southern
institution, I sense an incipient
trend amongst the truly
cosmopolitan, an educational
•vogue for intellectual and
social interaction with
Farmville's unique popu-
lation.
How, you may ask, does one
go about meeting and
mingling with this isolated
social set whose company is
currently in such great
demand? The Farmvillite is a
genuinely unique individual
and traditional avenues of
acquaintance may prove
unsuccessful in gaining his
friendship. Chances are the
Farmvillite did not prep with
your brother, start a
thoroughbred syndicate with
your broker, or share a box
with your parents for the
summer orchestral season at
Saratoga. He probably does
not share your interest in pre-
Columbian jewelry nor can he
identify with your childhood
passion for teasing the cook.
Thus I offer the following
solution for befriending the
Farmvillite:
One must begin by loitering
about the proper
establishments and meeting
grounds. The Farmville
Shopping Center, a small
conglomerate of retail
proprietors, is the very
backbone of the local
assemblage. One need not
patronize these paltry shops in
order to make the initial
contact which is so vital to our
purpose. Indeed, some of
Farmville's most prominent
residents can be seen
propping themselves against a
post in front of Safeway and
remaining there for hours.
Rumor has it that many of
these societal pillars have yet
to venture off the curbs and
into the provincial
emporiums.
Having located the
Farmvillite, one must now
attempt to establish some sort
of rapport. Farmvillites often

Your Turn
A Welcome From
Orientation Chairman
Dear Freshmen and Transfers:
Hello! As the Orientation
Chairman of 1984, 1 would like to
welcome you to Longwood
College. Some of you are scared
of making new friends, some of
you are homesick, and some of
you are so happy to be here and
away from home that you will
convert those who aren't. The
purpose of this orientation is to
help you get better acquainted
with the college and the way its
student body works. I am a senior
and a Math major (this
semester). When I was a
Freshman at Longwood I
received so much caring and
attention by my Orientation
leader and the people here that it
turned me loose — yes, I was shy
no more. I began working on
activities and specializing
projects for the school, some of
which required administration
assistance. I did all this because
of my interest in people and
eagerness to gain experience by
having some responsibility. What
I got back? The best friend I'll
ever have. That alone to me is
worth everything I have worked
for at Longwood. I also gained
experience in dealing with
people and organizing new ideas,
as well as adding to or improving
old ones. What I am trying to say
is that in less than four years I
have set myself up for the outside
world and I did it by myself. If
you want to get something out of
college life you're going to have
to put something into it.
Longwood offers something for
everyone. Don't complain about
not liking it if you don't do
something about it. I hope that all
of you get involved in something,
even if it's always the party next
door — I would just like for you to
be happy, and learn a few things
while you're at it. God bless you.

Welcome From
SGA President
Dear Student:
There are opportunities at
Longwood for involvement in
many areas. None of these can be
more important or have further
reaching implications than
Student Government. We are the
voice of the students! We are
constantly making or helping
make policy decisions which
affect you! We are elected by and
serve for the student body.
One of my personal
commitments to SGA this year is
to get more students involved in
the decision making process. It is
of vital importance that we be a
representative voice. So, when
you see that survey or someone
stops you on the street to ask your
opinion, take it seriously! That is
one opportunity for you to
directly influence your future at
Longwood.
I can't stress enough the

THE NEW DRINKING AGE
LAW is receiving a decidedly
mixed reaction on campus
nationwide. Although
administrators have long been
involved in efforts to reduce
irresponsible student drinking,
many believe the new national
drinking age of 21 will simply
encourage more off-campus
drinking and partying, rather
than eliminating alcohol
consumption among 18-, 19- and
20-year-olds. Also looming in the
fall are potential discipline
problems when administrators
try to enforce the new laws in
residence halls and at
campuswide functions.

What ARE You Doing Here^ Anyway?
By BILL MOORE
Have you ever stopped to think
what you're doing in college?
Sure, you say — I'm taking a few
classes, going to some parties,
uh, you know, having a good
time. Yes, but what are you doing
here? Hey, it's not important;
I've got to experience the
present, the future will take care
of itself.
Would you say that? Perhaps
not; but I see a lot of people who
seem to be acting on those
assumptions, and I'd like to
explore an alternative: we shape
the future by what we do in the
present, and in clarifying our
present we can improve our
future. Let me explain.
A number of times I have
talked to graduating seniors and
heard the line, I haven't done
much of anything, how can I
write any kind of resume? They
know that they took some classes,
and yes, by golly, they will have a
degree in whatever, but they are
stumped when asked about their
skills — what they've learned in
four years of "higher education."
Most students are not
accustomed to thinking in terms
of building skills; it is much more
common to only think of college
as a place where KNOWLEDGE
is driven-infused into your brain.
Certainly that element is there,
and not to be denied. Yet through
your experiences both in and out
of class you are developing a set
of skills which will prove useful in
Help bring
the world
together,
one Mendship
at a time.

the "real world." I'm not talking
about specific job skills, either;
those skills are almost always
taught on-the-job and not before.
I'm talking about basic qualities
that are necessary for most jobs
— the ability to think, to raise
questions about issues and
problems, to communicate both
in written and oral form, to relate
to people. These are the qualities,
believe it or not, that can be the
difference between getting or not
getting the job you want, that can
determine how satisfied you are
with your job and how long you
stay there. And you can gain
these skills in a variety of ways in
your years in college.
Which brings me back to my
original point — if you do not
think about what you're doing in
the present, then you are missing
an opportunity to fully benefit
from your college experience and
construct the resume you'll write
when you graduate. Fortunately
for you, Longwood is making a
major effort to help you do that
through the Goals Project you'll
hear much more about later. The
goals you'll be introduced to give
you a clear idea about what your
time here in college can be all
about. Just in case somebody
asks you, what are you doing
here?

Wrestling Squad Strong
Longwood should field its
strongest wrestling squad in
history in the upcoming season,
says Lancer Coach Steve Nelson.
Coach Nelson has guided the
Lancers to records of 9-9, 7-6-1
and 6-9, "Eight of last year's
squad should be back and we
have the best crop of recruits
since I have been here."
Coach Nelson has national
Qualifier Tim Fitzgerald at 150
pounds. Fitzgerald became the
first Lancer Grappler to
compete in a national cham-
pionship when he placed in
the top 12 in last year's NCAA
Division II National Tournament.
Longwood's MVP, he wound up -
with a 19-11-1 record at 118
pounds.
Senior Charles Campbell at 150
and sophomore Billy Howard at
167 are his top returning
veterans. Top recruits include
state champs Scott McGowan
(126), Kenny Lewis (177), David
Taylor (177-190) and Jesus
Strauss (heavyweight). Also
included are transfers Chris Viar
(158) and Mike Black (167). "This
team will have the potential to
win more matches than any
squad in school Mstory," says
Nelson.

LANCER SPORTS
Longwood's record-setting
baseball team, which finished 32-
11 in May, ranks among the
leaders in NCAA Division II
statistics in three team and three
individual categories, according
to figures released in the July 18
edition of The NCAA News.
Leading the Lancer statistical
showing was senior All-American
shortstop John Sullivan who
ranked 18th in batting with a .424
average and 11th in runs-batted-
in with 51 in 42 games for an
average of 1.21 per game.
Freshman designated hitter Jeff
Mayone ranked seventh in RBI's
with 52 in 38 games for an
average of 1.37.
Rising senior Dennis Leftwich
had the highest national ranking
with a third place in stolen bases.
Leftwich stole 43 bases in 44
attempts for an average of 1.05
stolen bases per contest.
On a team basis the offensive-
minded Lancers rated in batting
average (6th) and scoring (3rd)
as well as in fielding (13th in
fielding percentage). Longwood
had a team batting average of
.352 while scoring 419 runs in 43
games (9.7 runs per game).
Coach Buddy Holding's squad
set a new school record in fielding
percentage with a .956.
Longwood, which ended up
third in the South Atlantic
Regional Tournament in May,
has an outstanding 85-30-1 record
over the past three seasons under
the direction of Coach Buddy
Bolding. At least 15 of last
season's 18 squad members
should be back for the 1985 season
next spring.
New prospects include
shortstop Kelvin Davis, a key
performer with State AAA champ
Halifax County High School.
Davis, from Nathalie, Virginia,
hit .454 for the State champs of
Coach Frosty Owens. He's
expected to move into the
Longwood line-up at shortstop,
filling the void left by the
graduation of All-American John
Sullivan.
Bolding lists pitchers Steve
Ayres and Dale Weaver and out-
fielder Bill Conroy as his other
too signees.
Ayres compiled a 10-2 record
for Buckingham Co. High in 1984
and was named Seminole District
Player of the Year. Weaver, at 6-
4, 215, has more size than any
pitcher in Longwood history. He
notched a 4-2 mark for Lord
Botetourt High School and
possesses an excellent fastball.
Other incoming players with
potential include: outfielder
Tonuny Belcher of Woodbridge
High School, pitcher Mike Dye of
Amelia Co. High School, pitcher
Tony Beverly of Parry McClure
High School and infielder Mark
Walsh of Lee Davis High School
and brother of current Lancer
Tommy Walsh.
Longwood, which has advanced
to the NCAA Division II Playoffs
two of the past three seasons, has
had an 85-30-1 record over the
past three seasons.
PORTLAND PICKS KERSEY . .
Former Longwood College
basketball standout Jerome
Kersey was chosen by the
Portland Trailblazers in the
second round of the 1984 National
Basketball Association Draft
June 19 in New York.
The 46th player picked overall.
Kersey was the second college
player from Virginia to be
drafted behind former Virginia
star Othell Wilson, who was
chosen 35th by the Golden State
Warriors.
The first player in Longwood's
eight-year men's basketball
history to be drafted, Kersey was
only the second Division II eager
chosen.

Summer Brings Many Changes
By VINCE DECKER administration of the student community development in a
Since last May there have been affairs program for a residence residence hall, alcohol use and -
several faculty and staff
changes. Among those who have
gone on to pursue other personal
goals are Student Affairs
Director I. B. Dent and Dean of
Students Dr. Wendall Ogrosky.
Dr. Ogrosky has been replaced
by Dr. Bill Latta.
Dr. Latta comes to Longwood
from Michigan State University
where he was assistant director
of the housing program. His
responsibilities included
hall complex housing 2,800
students. He has held several
other positions in the housing-
student affairs areas at Michigan
State. He also served for two
years as a rehabilitation
counselor for the Michigan
Vocational Rehabilitation Ser-
vices.
An active member of the
American College Personnel
Association, he has presented
convention programs on
misuse, staff and individual
development plans, and
residence hall environments.
Dr. Latta's academic
credentials are all from Michigan
State University; they are the
B.A., with honors, the M.A. in
rehabilitation counseling, and the
Ph.D. in administration and
higher education.
Dr. Charles B. Vail, former
academic dean at Hampden-
Sydney College and president of
Winthrop College in South
Carolina for nine years, will
serve as Interim Vice President
for Academic Affairs at Long-
wood.
He replaces Dr. Michael H.
Haltzel who left Longwood to
accept a position as senior vice
president at the International
Management and Development
Institute in Washington, DC.
Dr. Vail will be Longwood's top
academic administrator until a
new Vice President for Academic
Affairs is on board full time. Dr.
Vail is prepared to stay the length
of time necessary to complete a
nationwide search, which could
be until July, 1985. He will be
operating with full authority as
Interim Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
President Janet Greenwood
said that Longwood is "fortunate
in having Dr. Vail fill this
important position. "
Luck '84 A Success
On Monday, August 27, at 8:00
the Lankford Student Union was
open to all students. Luck '84 was
the reason. Meredith Strohm
originated the idea to have a
Casino Night and presented it to
Barb Gorski. Gorski decided to
take a shot at making this event
happen.
This was the first campus-wide
event to take place in which the
work of SUN, the R.A.'s, ARA,
Administration and Faculty
together was needed in order to
pull it off.
Downstairs in Lankford
students were invited to play
video games, to bowl and to play
ping pong and pool all free of
charge. In the white and green
rooms one could satisfy hunger
with ice cream, cake and punch
provided by ARA.
Silent movies were shown in
the red room. Music and dancing
were still other free attractions.
The Resident Hall Staffs
provided Casino games in the
Gold Room. Faculty and Campus
Ministers served as guest dealers
and seemed to have as much fun
as the students The emphasis on
this night of free fun was non-
alcoholic, something that we will
be seeing more of as the drinking
age goes up in VA.
From the turnout which was
approximately 900, and the
enthusiasm the night seemed to
be a success. Perhaps the criteria
for a Longwood party can
change.

ioh Outlook Forecasts Growth
Employment in the Third
Quarter 1984 will continue to
grow at the rapid pace set earlier
in the year, according to new
survey figures from Manpower,
Inc.'s quarterly Employment
Outlook Survey.
In the survey of more than
11,700 U. S. business firms, 31
percent of the respondents said
they will increase their
workforce in the coming quarter
while only six percent plan staff
reductions. The anticipated
increases are essentially the
same as those projected in the
last quarter and are higher than
the 27 percent figure posted for
the same quarter last year.
"The current hiring projections
are among the highest recorded
over the eight years of the
survey's existence and provide a
strong indication that the present
economic expansion will continue
through the summer and early
fall periods," said Manpower
President Mitchell S. Fromstein.
He said only slight geographic
differences were noted in the
survey results, with weaker
growth indicated in the South and
stronger projections indicated in
the Midwest and Western
regions. "These variations were
expected," Fromstein
commented, "as the Southern
region has shown strong and
continuing growth in the early
recovery period while the
Midwest recovered later and
from lower recession levels.
Commenting on the survey
results, Fromstein said, "The
hiring outlook continues to be
very optimistic with healthy
workforce increases planned
across all geographic areas and

in most industries; however, a
cautionary pause in employment
growth seems to be present in the
hiring outlook for Durable Goods
Manufacturers and Construction
firms. The firms which will add
workers outnumber those which
will reduce their workforce by 5
to \. This compares to a ratio of
only 1.4 to 1 in the 3rd Quarter of
1982 and 3.4 to 1 last year. The
strength of current hiring plans
indicates that there is still
underemployment compared to
the degree of economic growth in
the post-recession period."
Fromstein said that labor
shortages of skilled white-collar
workers were beginning to
develop in major cities of the U.
S. "Orders for our temporary
office workers are running 60
percent ahead of last year," he
said. "This developing shortage
of office workers is being
accelerated by the rapidly
growing installation of new office
systems for which trained or
experienced operators do not yet
exist."
Variations in employment
plans by industry sector indicate
that hiring in the Construction
Manufacturing sectors will be
curtailed slightly from the last
quarter highs but will remain
comfortably above last year's
levels.

And here we go. It's off to the races for some 950
plus brand new students at Longwood. Just as President
Janet Greenwood's first freshman class at Longwood,
the class of 1985, prepares to graduate, yet another
record-breaking num ber of applicants were accepted to
join in the crowd here in Farmville. Or rather,
"given the opportunity to gain an education at
Longwood," as is fashionable to say of late.
True, it took a good number of shoe horns to squeeze
them all in, but they're here. In "expanded" rooms,
residence hall kitchens, the Farmville Motel, and the
Longwood Alumni House, they were fit in. It's the LC
Admissions Telethon — fighting for "Gary's kids" as
one distinquished senior observer viewed Director of
Admissions Gary Groneweg's record acceptances —
passing out "educational opportunities" right up to the
beginning of classes; their checks are signed and they
are here.
Granted, Longwood students can take pride in the
fact that more people wish to attend the College. Too,
this can largely be attributed to this Administration's
ability to project a good image of Longwood. Appealing
slide shows and attractive, if limited, promo pamphlets
have a way of promoting this positive image. Yet that
image, widespread as it has become, is a fragile one —
resting on a less steady base. It is the base which needs
restructuring, before the monument itself, and not the
reverse.
Introducing nearly 1000 students to Longwood is a
marked achievement for the College. A big gold star for
the administration. But introducing nearly 500 of them
to so-called "expanded rooms" will quickly sour the
introduction. Further, over-crowding classrooms can
hardly promote the advantages a small college can ably
offer its students: person-to-person relationships with
professors as well as learning in a more intimate
environment. The record acceptances can be largely
attributed, say senior members of the administration, to
our 30 percent attrition rate; how likely, however, is
that rate to go down with the situation on campus such
as it is? A positive residence hall experience for
freshmen is critical if those freshmen are to remain at
Longwood. How positive will that experience be this
year? It seems we have an infinite supply of Band-Aids
for the monument while the base grows steadily weaker.
The conjunction 'however' is now used neither as a
apology nor a concession. The problems we face as an
'Time To Face The Strange...?'
institution now are many, and the band-aid repairs now
being made have implications which will affect
Longwood years after the current administration has
left Southside Virginia. However, Student Affairs has
recently begun an innovative program which is a
strong step toward repairing the base of the institution.
The Community Design & Development Workshop
which freshmen participated in a week ago is
unquestionably, in my opinion, the best program our
progressive Student Affairs staff has yet directed.
Though the final results of the workshops are yet to be
seen, the partial results evident now are refreshing and
inspiring. The program drew enthusiastic support from
freshmen, faculty, the Student Affairs staff, and RA's
alike.
Devised by Vice-President Phyllis Mable, Student
Development Educator Barbara Gorski; and Dr. J. Cox
of Counseling Services, the program encourages
students to actively participate in the development of
their floor and residence hall community. The program
specifically promoted four of the fourteen goals for
Longwood students: those of critical thinking, effective
communication, interpersonal skills, and a sense of
awakening.
Clearly, the workshops were able to accomplish
their purpose. They were held on each freshman floor on
campus, and one faculty member, one student affairs
staff member, and the Resident Assistant on the floor
led the groups. This combination promoted
communication and a sense of responsibility in the three
group leaders and likely will do much to bring about
more faculty involvement in residence life.
The Workshops were impressive — Longwood needs
such programs to improve campus life as well as
academic excellence. Nothing could be better for
Longwood College than more strong programs of this
sort. . .and fewer band-aids.

Mondale^s Honesty Is Working Your Wine List Please?
Editor's Note: Following is the
first of a number of election-
oriented articles to be run in
"The Rotunda" this fall. Morton
Kondracke is executive editor of
"The New Republic." His
syndicated column, along with
those of other "op-ed"
journalists, will appear
intermittently in "The Rotunda"
this year.
By MORTON KONDRACKE
So far, Walter Mondale's
daring promise to raise taxes has
worked brilliantly at the tactical
political level. But will it work at
the strategic level and at the level
of actual government policy?
That remains to be seen.
By all conventional political
wisdom, promising to raise taxes
is death in an election year. No
one knows that better than Rep.
Daniel Rostenkowski of Illinois,
chairman of tax-writing House
Ways and Means committee.
It happens I had the honor of
informing Rostenkowski the
evening of July 19 on the
Democratic National Convention
in San Francisco that Mondale
planned to announce a proposal
to raise taxes in his acceptance
soeech that night.
Marvel of marvels, however,
Mondale is not getting clobbered
for speaking the unpleasant truth
— so far. To the contrary.
President Reagan and Vice
President Bush have so mangled
the issue politically that it's a net
plus for Mondale.
Asked at a recent press
conference whether he planned to
raise taxes as Mondale charged,
the president said resolutely:
"No." And then he said,
"Maybe."
He said in a radio broadcast he
would not raise individual income
taxes, opening speculation that
he would raise sales taxes —
either directly or through a
complicated system known as the
"value-added tax." Both
schemes are terribly regressive,
forcing the poor to bear a greater
tax burden than the rich.
Then out at his California ranch
the president again said no tax
increases. But Bush, after having
lunch with the president, said
maybe.
Mondale obviously had poked
an ice pick into a chink in the
administration's solidarity.
Many of the president's
advisers know full well a tax
increase will be necessary next
year. The president doesn't want
to admit it and may even believe
economic growth and cuts will
reduce the deficit without any
new taxes. But growth cannot be
sustained at levels necessary to
cut the deficit significantly, and
so Mondale and the president's
advisers undoubtedly are
correct.
In Mondale's acceptance
speech, however, he promised no
major corporate income taxes
and no major defense cuts. And
lately, Mondale has said his
individual income tax increase
will not affect "the average
American family."
There is simply no way for him
to do all this at once — any more
than there was for Reagan to
balance the budget, increase
defense spending and cut taxes as
he promised in 1980.
Reagan got away with this
stunt four years ago, but he is a
much better tall-storyteller than
Mondale.
From a strategic political
standpoint and for the sake of
good governance, Mondale's best
out would be to scale back his
budget-balancing promises to a
realistic level and offer a
reasonable tax program to match
it.
Transfer To LC?
Editor's Note: Frank Raio is a
transfer student from both
George Mason University and
Virginia Wesleyan College. This
article is a look at Longwood in
comparison with these two
schools.
By FRANK RAIO
Money, or the lack of it,
dictated my transfer from
Virginia Wesleyan College to
George Mason University. The
foreign language requirement,
among other things at G.M.U.
forced my migration to
Farmville. And at Longwood I
will stay until my sentence
behind the desk begins, pushing
papers fifty weeks a year and
earning my share to pay off the
federal deficit.
Between now and then I seem
to have some spare time, so I
thought I might share the insights
of a veteran transfer student.
First and foremost, in the true
"Go for the Goals" spirit, the
educational aspect: although
tempted, I will pass up this
golden opportunity for brownie
points by not mentioning each of
my professors and citing their
excellence, I will say though one
class I find particularly
challenging is taught by a fine
man and a pillar of society,
Doctor . . .nah, I cannot stoop that
low.
One cannot make general
statement^ about an institution's
faculty. Each professor must be
judged individually. Granted
many of my professors at G.M.U.
were at the top of their field and
had credentials out the wahzoo,
but some of them couldn't explain
the function of a traffic light.
Tiny, obscure Virginia Wesleyan
College is home for two of the
toughest political science
teachers you'd ever meet. I'd ask
for an extension or argue a grade
with the entire G.M.U. faculty
before I'd ask permission to go to
the bathroom from those
Wesleyan jokers.
The point is that although you
might think larger schools have
more bait to attract better
professors, there seem to be
plenty of good ones to torture
students at places like V.W.C.
and Longwood. And there are big
enough cracks in the larger
schools' hiring policies to allow
some bonehead teachers to fall
through; so don't hang your head
or mumble about a tough course
when talking to your old high
school friends now at UVA.
I said not to be worried about
transferring due to a tougher
curriculum, but you should be
weary of ending up in a social
wasteland like George Mason.
G.M.U. enrolbnent approaches
14,000, of which 10-12,000 are
commuters. Nearly 10 percent of
these commuters are over 30
years old and are more into fine
wines and romance novels than a
case of cheap brew and ultimate
frisbee. It is said that Longwood
is a "suitcase college", but hey,
they don't even pack a bag at
G.M.U. B-grade bands are not
unaccustomed to playing their
last set for a sleepy crowd of
fifteen at G.M.U.'s Student
Union.
Longwood is a comfortable
medium between V.W.C. 's "Hi,
how are you?" every time you
pass and G.M.U.'s walking with
your head down, social security
number on hand, ready to
validate your existence. I saw
three girls that I knew from high
school at Ocean City this
summer. I found out that they
were at G.M.U. with me for two
years and we never crossed
paths. One was even in a
"concert-hall economics class"
with me and we never saw each
other once.
We have heard this all too
often, but you really do get back
only what you invest and this
holds true in all aspects of college
life, whether it be gaining
knowledge or winning a chugging
contest. Longwood College is as
good a place as any other to
invest in.
By ERIC HOUSEKNECHT
Let it not be said that we, the
student population, by choosing
to reside in Farmville, have
thrust ourselves into a cultural
abyss, destined to fall eternally
from the plateau of social
legitimacy. For there are those of
us who opt to cling to the scrawny
vines and branches protruding
from the sleek sides of
Farmville's aristocratic cliff.
Having grasped for, and found,
social stability, some have
become so bold as to inch their
way up towards the top in an
effort to understand and
ultimately act within the peculiar
civilization existing around them.
Such was the case when myself
and entourage of would-be
connoisseurs made a pilgrimage
to a local convenience store with
only one thing in mind. Our
purpose: to sample and become
familiar with the wines common
to the local coterie.
Our group of eminently
qualified vinophiles included
Rob, a member of Delta Sigma
Phi Fraternity, Mark, who had
previously tasted wines at both
the Brandermill Country Club
and Big Star, Randy, whose
impeccable taste was evidenced
by his reluctance to turn off the
Jerry Lewis Telehton during our
tasting, myself, and Tony, an
artist. Our task proved an
arduous one and even finding the
wine amidst the multitudes of
beer and Cheese Whiz in the
cavernous refrigerated section of
the store was quite difficult.
While many dilettantes would be
shocked by the indiscriminate
placing of all wines in cold
storage, I saw, in this practice, a
seasonal ploy on the part of the
proprietor to emulate the archaic
French practice of chilling both
white and red wines during the
hot summer months. Our
inspiration heightened by this
touch of continental flair, we
chose five appropriate wines
from the bottom shelf and headed
home for the tasting.
The first wine to be sampled
was Strawberry Coconetta, a
pale pink combination of natural
and artificial flavors produced by
Manischewitz of New York. Tony
was the first to comment as his
sharp artist's eye correctly
ascertained that this wine indeed
"looks kinda like gasoline."
However, it took Mark's
experience and expertise to
qualify both the character and
potency of this wine by stating,
"It tastes like cough syrup, it'll
probably put you on the floor.
Ironically, Strawberry
Coconetta, which is produced
under strict Rabbinical
supervision, was the perfect
complement to the deep-fried
pork rinds, which all vinophiles
swear by for cleaimg the palate.
The next bottle tasted was a
statistical best seller but
certainly not a favorite within our
circle of experts. Labeled as a
combination of fine Perry Wine
and natural pure flavors,
Thunderbird had a murky color
and an ammonia-like character
that left us breathless. Randy
aptly described it as having an
"industrial bouquet," which,
Mark added, was "reminiscent of
a locker room."
Moving on to the second of
three California wines featured in
our sampling, H.M.S. Frost
appeared much clearer than the
Thunderbird and while Tony
called it "strange," Rob went so
far as to compare it to fermented
prune juice. But once again it was
Mark who hit the nail on the head
by stating, "It smells like a
swimming pool and was probably
made from raisins instead of
grapes."
Our fourth wine, (the last of the
Calif ornians) was an obvious
favorite and the only one which
was willingly quaffed by the
entire group. T. J. Swann's
Stepping Out consisted of Apple
Wine and natural flavors and
while its pale red color and
strikingly familiar character
reminded many of Dr. Pepper,
Debbie (a newcomer to wine
tasting but nonetheless a
valuable resource) thought it
tasted like a Charms Blow-pop.
Big John "Home Style" wine
rounded out the sampling and
even though the first four
offerings had caused the original
group of fire to dwindle down to
three members, this unusual
ruby red elixier prompted such
comments as, "This is an
American wine?" and "God!"
Not only is Big John an American
wine but it's a Virginian wine as
well, coming fresh from
Petersburg on a monthly basis.
Mark, who at this point
established himself as the
indisputable master taster,
called it "damn good."
While all of these wines are
different they also all feature
similar conveniences not found
elsewhere. For the novice,
serving instructions are featured
prominently on all labels
(ranging from "serve chilled"
to "serve cold") and amateurs
and experts alike will love the
twist off caps which not only
allow for easy opening but also
give the option of serving the
same bottle of wine on several
occasions. Awareness of
advances such as these is truly
what separates the aristocrat
from the social clod and gives
him the toehold he so desperately
needs as he scales the palisades
of social ranking.

LC Players To Open
With Three -Penny
The Longwood Players will
open their 84-85 season with
Bertolt Brecht's The Three
Penny Opera. The play has
already been cast and is now in
production.
The cast, being directed by
Patton Lockwood, includes many
newcomers along with some
familiar faces. The lead role of
Mecheath, "Mack the Knife," is
being played by last year's
winner of the longwood Players'
Best Actor Award, Vince Decker.
The role of Miss Polly Peachum,
one of Mack's many wives, is
being played by Sophia PauUete.
Sophia has been very active with
the Longwood Players since
coming to Longwood, but the role
of Polly marks her first leading
role at Longwood.
The senior leads, Mr. and Mrs.
Peachum, are being portrayed by
veteran Jerry Dagenhart and
newcomer Laura Coombs.
Rounding out the list of leads is
music major Natalie Thompson
as Lucy I-^ckett (another of
Mack's wives), and N. C. State
transfer Jeff Fleming in the role
of the corrupt police officer
Brown.
The production dates have been
set for October 10
13. Crew positions for technical
work are still open for anyone
with a particular skill or a more
than passing interest. Those
interested should contact A.
Moffet Evans, or David Miller.
After the foreseen success of
The Three Penny Opera the
Longwood Players plan on
providing three more main stage
productions: Alan Ackboum's
Bedroom Farce, Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night, and Jean Genet's
The Balcony. The Players are
also planning on a series of one
acts and studio theatre
productions.
The new chairhead of the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts, who is also the
advisor of the players. Dr.
Douglas Young is looking to a
successful season and promises a
year of quality entertainment.

FREEZE PROTESTS have
dropped off markedly this
year. Participation in
"Firebreaks," a nuclear war
simulation game invented by
Ground Zero, fell from 3000

those of you into rock music,
former Eagle Don Henley even
wrote a song about it — "Johnny
Can't Read." The concern for
basic skills has been an
appropriate one, and there are -
already signs that progress has
been made in that area.
However, since we are an
institution of higher education,
we should be concerned about
somewhat loftier goals; the
question for us (in a non-sexist
form) becomes, can Johnny &
Jane think? Since critical
thinking is one of the Longwood
goals, it seems a particularly
appropriate question.
Register Vehicles
All students must register their
vehicles with the Campus Police
and be issued a decal to park in
designated student areas. This
must be done by September 3,

unregistered vehicles must be
removed from campus or risk
being cited. Full ticketing for

Attention Liberal
Arts Majors
On Wednesday, November 14,
Longwood College, along with
eight other colleges, will sponsor
Challenge '85, a career fair for
liberal arts majors. Challenge '85
will be held at Lynchburg's new
Radisson Hotel and will give
liberal arts seniors a chance to
receive information from and
interview with approximately 35
employers. The fair will also
allow for students to interact and
make valuable contacts as they
prepare to enter the work force.
The day will consist of student
visits and interviews with
employers, concurrent fashion
informational sessions, employer
luncheon and a dress for success
fashion show. The OCPP will
provide transportation. Students
will pay a $5.00 registration fee
which will cover lunch. (Liberal
Arts majors received
information about this program
this summer.)
In order to register for the
program, students will need a
resume and will have to attend an
interviewing skills seminar. All
liberal arts seniors are
encouraged to come to the OCPP
office by September 20 to register
and to receive detailed
information on the employers
that will be in attendance.

this past week in essence, you're
going to be faced with lots of
questions that have no clear right
or wrong answers — and you'll
need to make some judgments. In
last week's Rotunda editorial
notions of social responsibility
were discussed; to deal with such
crucial issues, you have to sift
through lots of information,

deterrence a meaningful strategy

abilities, and you'll see some of
them on the opportunity maps
available later in September.
What's the payoff? Well, apart
from your being able to carry on a
reasonably informed and
intelligent discussion of
important issues, research has
shown that critical thinking

champions were crowned in three
of the four dividions.
Of last year's winners only
Mary Willson Schill, now teamed
with Liz Wyeth, was able to
repeat her title-winning
performance of last year in
women's doubles. Schill and
Wyeth beat Longwood students
Stephanie Peters and Karen

Longwood. Though unseeded,
Moore advanced to the finals in
singles and the semi-finals in
doubles. He numbered defending
champ John Todd (6-3, 7-6)
among his victims in singles.
In doubles, Moore teamed with
Monroe Preston to reach the
semis before falling to Todd &

Sunday afternoon, 9-3 in the
opener and 7-6 in the nightcap.
Ripping homers for l^ongwood
were Jeff Mayone, Allen Lawter
and Marty Ford. Freshman
shortstop Kelvin Davis had a pair
of 2-run doubles and also played
well defensively. Veteran catcher
Jeff Rohm drove in the winning
run as Longwoood edged the
Keydets 7-6 in the second game.
In games this weekend,
Longwood hosts Lynchburg

The 1984 version of Longwood
soccer will debut Saturday in the
Southside Virginia Soccer
Classic. Coach Rich Posipanko's
hooters will once again be
chasing a berth in the NCAA
Playoffs, a goal which has proved
to be somewhat elusive over the
past three seasons.
The Lancers face Slippery
Rock Saturday afternoon at 2:00
on First Avenue Field after
Division Ill's Hampden-Sydney
and Wilkes kick-off the
tournament at 12 noon. The
championship game will be 2:00
Sunday and the consolation at 12
Noon. Hampden-Sydney and
Longwood are co-hosting the
Southside Classic, which is being
held in place of the Longwood
Invitational.
Saturday's game will match
Lancer coach Rich Posipanko
against his college coach, Jim
Egli of Slippery Rock. The Rock
ended up 17-1-1 in Posipanko's
senior year, finishing 8th in the
nation.
Longwood has turned in
records of 11-4-3, 15-4-1 and 12-2-4
over the past three seasons,
making its mark in the Mid-
Atlantic Region. The Lancers,
fourth ranked among Mid-
Atlantic Division II teams last
season, have yet to receive a bid
to the NCAA Playoffs.
With seven starters back from
last season, plus six solid
newcomers, the 1984 edition of
Longwood soccer is aiming for a
first-ever NCAA bid and another
outstanding season.
"I'm confident we will have
another strong team," says
Posipanko, 51-27-9 in five seasons
at Longwood. "Our defense will
be outstanding once again, but we
need to increase our offensive
efficiency. We scored 61 goals in
1982, but only 35 last season."
Leading the Lancer defense
will be three-time AU-American
Darryl Case, All-Region choice
Dan Bunis, All-Conference goalie
Brian Sprinkle and veteran back
Scott Thoden.
Case, Thoden and Sprinkle are
seniors while Bubnis is a junior.
Bubnis suffered a broken nose in
last week's scrimmage at
Randolph-Macon and is doubtful
for Saturday's opener.
At midfield, Posipanko can
count on vetrans Mark McArdle
and Clay MuUican. McArdle, an -
All-State choice, scored four
goals and had two assists in 1983
while MuUican notched three
goals and five assists. McArdle
may be the best 5-3 soccer player
in the college game.
Other returning veterans
include midfielder Craig Reid,
back John Anderson, goalie Rob
Liessem and forward Scott
Gittman.
Longwood's top six newcomers
include: midfielder Mahfoud
Kyoud, a junior college AU-
American at Montgomery Co.
Community College, back Erick
Karn, forward Tim Ford,
midfielder Mike Harris, back
Jeff Robinson, and forward Jose
Madalena.
Also on the Lancer squad are
freshmen Ricky Arnold and Paul
Dzierski and sophomore Jim
DiModica. Dzierski is a
goalkeeper, Arnold plays back
and DiModica midfield.
Posipanko expects to start
either Sprinkle or Liessem at
goahe; Karn, Anderson, Thoden
and Case at back; Kyoud,
McArdle and MuUican at
midfield; and Kennen, Kremen
and either Ford or Gittman at
forward.
McArdle, Bubnis and Case wUl
serve as tri-captains for the 1984
squad.

Chemistry Department
Gains New Professor
By ERIC HOUSEKNECHT
The latest addition to the
dedicated team of professors in
our natural sciences department
is Dr. William R. Stagg of
Lynchburg. Filling the void left
by Dr. Patrick Barker (who has
taken a year's sabbatical in order
to study at the Langley Research
Center in Hampton), Dr. Stagg
says he's "excited about teaching
again" after a seven-year
absence from the ever-intriguing
world of state supported
academia.
A native of Lexington, Ken-
tucky, Dr. Stagg attended the
U. of K. as an undergraduate and
then continued his studies of
chemistry at Iowa State, where
he eventually earned his Ph.D.
Gainful employment was then
procured with the F.M.C.
corporation of Princeton, N.J.
but this capitalistic state of bliss
was all too soon obliterated by a
two-year stint in the U.S. Army.
After the novelty of creamed
chipped beef and calisthenics at
dawn had worn off. Dr. Stagg
went on to the University of
Illinois as a post-doctoral
associate.
His prior experiences as an
ParleZ'Vous Francais?
Longwood Students Travel To France
educator include professorships
at Colgate University and
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College. Dr. Stagg is currently
employed as a senior research
chemist at Babcock and Wilcox in
Lynchburg, where his duties
include teaching an "industrial
short course." The course
consists of 36 hours of lecture plus
lab time crammed into a two-
week period and deals with the
chemical particularities of
running a power plant.
Here at Longwood, Dr. Stagg
pontificates on the particulars of
physical chemistry, a field in
which his experience is
extensive. The collegiate
environment seems to appeal to
him and he feels much more
relaxed now that he and his
students have a bit more "think
time" between lectures. Dr.
Stagg 's easy-going attitude is evi-
dent in the classroom where he
lectures and fields questions with
a cool professionalism, even
as volatile intellectual banter
flares up around him. Without a
doubt, Longwood's latest faculty
acquisition is an exceptional one,
and well worth hanging onto.
By ALICIA ASHTON
This summer, six Long-
wood students studied, as
part of their major or minor in
France. The trip was arranged
by Dr. Jill Kelly, French
professor at Longwood and was
offered to those students who
were majoring or minoring in
French. Some were also able to
do individual study and earn
more credits toward their major.
Those who went were: Joanne
Harwell, JoAnne Akers, Jane
Wimbish, Alicia Ashton, Patricia
Moore, and Theresa Alford.
It was a four week adventure
starting on June 14th. The trip
entailed a three day visit to the
French capitol: Paris. The group
was free to roam the streets of
Paris. JoAnne Akers stated that,
"Paris at night is gorgeous!"
After walking miles to sightsee
and using lots of film, the group
moved on to Toulouse, a town in
southwest France. There we met
up with sixteen students from
Kenesaw, Georgia who were to
study with us.
Classes started June 20th. It
was a 2V2 week intensive study of
grammar and oral in-
Men's Awareness Is Focus Of Program
Men's Awareness Night, a
program developed by Student
Development Intern Randy
Chittum, will begin at 5:30
Thursday, September 20, in the
Virginia Room. The evening
will focus on men's concerns
and will highlight speakers on
men's awareness.
Following a keynote address,
participants will transfer to the
Lankford Building where
workshops will be held on the
following issues, which
Longwood males indicated they
were most interested in
this summer on a survey
conducted by Chittum:
Career Planning, Dress for
Success, Relationships and
Relationship Abuse, Sexuality
and Birth Control, Personal
Finances, and Leadership at
Longwood. After the
workshops, there will be a
social for all those who took part
in the evening's activities.
Chittum stated that
participating "men will become
more aware of national trends
affecting them" and that they
will become "more aware of
how the male role has changed
in the past ten years" in this
country.
Invitations for the evening

terpretation. The course
counted as three college credits
.and was designed to help the
student better understand the
language.
Along with classes, the agenda
included week end excursions to
the Mediterranean Sea, and the
Pyrenees. JoAnne Akers
remembers the Pyrenees as
being one of the most beautiful
sights. We also visited Luchon, a
town famous for their Roman
baths whose temperatures reach
over 100 degrees F.
Even though we were studying
the language, we got most of our
experience from actual contact
with the people of Toulouse. We
learned quickly how to cope with
everyday situations. These
situations included making
telephone calls, asking for bread,
ordering dinner, and asking
questions such as "Where am I?"
and "What is that?"
The French fashion was
cropped pants, Mickey Mouse
paraphernalia, layered clothes,
short skirts, and bondage
sandles. You couldn't go
anywhere without seeing
beggars, dogs, or sidewalk
musicians. And naturally the
like "Footloose" and "Raiders of
the Lost Ark" were shown (in
French no less). As far as
transportation, the taxi drivers
drove like they were in the Grand
Prix, only you were in the back
seat!
The students replied when
asked, that food was one of their
most memorable experiences.
Restaurants and cafes were
everywhere. JoAnne Akers
commented that she never got up
enough nerve to try the horse
hamburgers.
The Fourth of July was
celebrated by the students and
faculty as America's day of
independence and the last day of
school.
The majority of students
returned on July 13th, but some
had returned earlier and others
continued to travel. All in all, the
trip was very successful and very
beneficial to all who went. After I
returned to the U. S., I realized
how many little things we
(Americans) take so much for
granted in the U. S. Things like
ice cubes, soda other than Coca-
Cola, bathtubs, and ice tea are in
short supply in France. Mon
Dieu, it would have been great to
McDonald's served beer. Movies have soft toilet paper!
Students Needed For
Advisory Service
Mark turned an uncertain face
toward the members of the
Judicial Board. Suddenly his
heart raced. He had been
informed of the charges that he
was still confused. He had been a
little drunk. What had he said?
What had he done? He still wasn't
sure. He hadn't even known he
had broken a rule and now here
he was waiting for the penalty.
He was alone and regretted not
bringing someone along. He was
confused and a little scared.
Mark might be feeling more
certain of his position if he had
had someone to talk through the
case with him, someone to give
him support and advice, or to be
with him at his hearing.
A group is now forming to
provide just this service for
students, like Mark, who are up
for Judicial and Honor Board
hearings. This group will make
up the Student Advisory Service
and will be knowledgeable of
Longwood's rules, regulations,
and procedures. They will not
give legal advice but will simply
be there to make sure that due
process goes smoothly for the
student. They will be
sympathetic and impartial,
talking over the case with the
student, advising him of
procedures, or accompanying
him to the hearing.
The Student Advisory Service
is in the planning stages and will
be holding an organizational
meeting on Wednesday,
September 12, at 6 p.m., in -
Grainger 206. Any student who is
interested in joining the group is
encouraged to attend. The group
will be advised by Dr. James
Crowl.

Educators Give
Reagan Low Marks
ByDAVroGAEDE
(CPS) — As the campaign
begins in earnest, President
Ronald Reagan is not getting any
higher marks from the nation's
education community than he has
during the last four years,
various higher education experts
say.
To assess the president's
impact on colleges. College Press
Service asked a cross section of
officials and experts a variation
of the same question President
Reagan posed to voters in 1980:
Are you and your campus better
off not than you were four years
ago?
Pointing to Reagan's attempts
to gut federal financial aid
programs, soft enforcements of
campus civil rights laws, and a
general "lack of interest" in
higher education, some
concluded Reagan has one of the
worst higher education track
records of any president in recent
history.
"We are certainly not better off
than we were four years ago,"
says Shawne Murphy, president
of the National Caolition of
Independent College and
University Students (COPUS)
and a student at St. Olaf College
in Minnesota.
"We've been fighting a
continual uphill battle against the
Reagan budget cuts," she
laments. "He's tried to take a big
chunk out of education for the last
four years, but fortunately
Congress has come up with
compromises that didn't make
the cuts as bad as they could have
been."
Indeed, during his first three
years in office Reagan proposed
cutting financial aid funding
from 30 to 50 percent, sending

Concert & Jazz Band8 Have New Director
Greater visibility on and offi
campus, music to challenge and
to excite students, and a
commitment to excellence are
the goals of the students and the
new director of the Longwood
College Jazz Ensemble and
Concert Band.
"We want to involve Ix)ngwood
students who were in high school
bands in our ensembles. We
believe there is the potential at
longwood to build a first class
band and jazz ensemble," said
Ralph Mohr, the band director.
"Ix)ngwood students will find
membership in these groups will
be a wise investment of their
time. The returns of excellence,
musical fulfillment, and
enhanced social contacts will be
worth their while."
Plans for this year's concert
band and jazz ensemble include
more performances on campus
and trips to campus in Richmond
and Lynchburg. At the present
time both ensembles are
expanding their music libraries.
The groups will perform a
variety of styles ranging from
serious concert band literature,
light classics, pop, and jazz.
The concert band meets on
Mondays and Wednesdays from
2:30 to 3:45 p.m. in room 104
Wygal Hall. There is a sectional
on every other Friday from 2:30
to 3:45 p.m. The jazz ensemble

education community.
Among other things, Reagan
proposed eliminating some
financial aid programs — student
Social Security benefits,
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants (SEOG) and
State Student Incentive Grants
(SSIG) among them — and
restricting other programs.
"It's been clear since the 1980-
81 school year that overall
student aid has decreased by 20
percent, even with the rejection
of Reagan's drastic proposed
cuts," observes Kathy Ozer,
legislative liaison for the United
States Student Association
(USSA) in Washington, D.C.
"The administration's policies
regarding regulations, court
decisions, and funding has
clearly not been in the best
interest of most students," she

Roommate Relations
By FRANK RAIO
Now that the lofts are
completed, stereos have replaced
hammers and saws as the
primary decibal producers in the
dorms of Longwood. The
"designated phone answerer"
positions are now filled on the
various halls. People are
generally settled in, or at least
comfortable enough with their
surroundings to leave them in
favor of the preppies at U. Va. for
the weekend (and let's be sure to
tell them that they missed some
good parties here this weekend).
Anyway, as I was assuming the
position to accommodate my low
shower-head, poised to leap from
the spray which turns scaldingly
hot every time someone in the
building flushes a toilet, I found
myself pondering dorm life and
the challenges we residents face
on a daily basis.
We who find ourselves with new
roommates are only beginning to
discover the various character
defects which will emerge slowly
at first, then faster as our
roomies get more secure. Some
problems are already out in the
open. Those of you who were
assigned roommates with
"Schmidt's Stinky-foot
Syndrome", for example, are
surely aware of this and by now
should have remedied the
situation (Lysol, and heremticly-
sealed bags for sock storage.
Others have found that fate has
dealt them roomies who cannot
handle their liquor. The signs of
this problem are tell-tale indeed
and are not easily hidden. A large
pot or trash pail next to the bed
should normalize this defect. If
not, try rolling up the carpet on
weekends, easier clean up will
result.
When I was a freshman, there
was a guy on my hall who was
blessed with Don Juan as his
roonmiate. It seems that Don
Juan used to bolt-lock the door
and put his roonmiate's pillow
and blanket out in the hallway.
Leaving "Poor Mike" (as he
came to be known) to sleep in the
lounge, while Don Juan played
backganmion in private with his
latest conquest. This could not
possibly happen at Longwood, as
visitation regulations prohibit it.
But if your roommate is obsessed
with playing private
backgammon games and the like,
put your foot down. Saltpeter,
found at your local pharmacy, is -
inexpensive and may be easily
sprinkled on your roommate's
fried bologna while his or her
attention is diverted by a
prospective opponent. If this does
not deter your roommate's love
for the game, try spreading
rumors that he'she has
contracted a boardgame-
transmitted disease and is
transferring to Maryland U. to be
closer to the Johns Hopkins'
treatment center.
We have all been told of the
"seven-year-itch" by Dr. Joyce
Brothers. In five weeks or so the
average roommate will
encounter the less publicized
"seven-week-bitch" that
inevitably occurs as character
defect realization comes to a boil.
During this period, roommates
will have had enough and find
that they cannot hold back the
complaints any longer. In
extreme cases, this turbulent
exchange of feelings has led to
stabbings or even gunshots.
For the most part, the seven-
week-bitch is no more than
simple communication between
roonunates. It is quite healthy
and often results in a more
harmonious relationship.
Students skilled in the art of
communication have a better
time of it in the dorms, make
acquaintances swiftly, and
ultimately have an easier time
locating backgammon partners.

LC Hockey Has High Hopes
Lancer Golfers
If a couple of things fall into
place, Longwood could have its
strongest field hockey team since
1975 when the Lady Lancers
ended up in sixth place at the
national tournament.
Coach Bette Harris' team
opens play Tuesday, hosting
Randolph-Macon at 3:00.
Wednesday, the Lady Lancers
visit Eastern Mennonite and
Friday and Saturday they'll be in
Boone, N.C. to take on
Appalachian State and High
Point.
"This is the strongest group of
hockey players I've had since I
came here in 1979," said Dr.
Harris, 38-40-21 in five years.
"The team has a lot of skill, and
depth at each position. It's going
to be very difficult to pick a
starting lineup."
Longwood has 11 returning
veterans with considerable
experience. Included in that
group are five of last year's top
six scorers. Defensively, the
Lady Lancers should also be
strong, but a pair of freshmen
goalkeepers will have to mature
in a hurry if the team is to reach
its potential.
Becky Hardin and Haidee
Shiflet are contending for the
starting goalkeeper position,
vacated by 1983 Most Valuable
Player Terry Chumley. Coach
Harris says she has confidence in
both.
A major rules change in NCAA
field hockey will put more
pressure on the young goalies and
the Longwood defense. This
season goals can be scored from
anywhere on the field. No longer
will shots have to be taken from
inside the circle which has a 16-
yard radius from each goal. The
end result will be to change
hockey to more of an "offensive
game."
Heading up the returning
veterans from last season are
seniors Pam Esworthy, Colleen
Stiles, Mary Garrison and Lisa
Seivold. Esworthy had four goals
and three assists last season
while Garrison added four goals
and one assist. Stiles and Seivold
are defensive standouts.
Six members of a strong junior
class will be counted on for their
experience. Sue Groff , Mary Dey,
Sharon Bruce, Karen Garrett,
Leslie Rapoza and Tammy
Marshall were either starters or
top reserves last season.

Head coach Steve Nelson sees
the fall season as a chance for his
young team to gain some
experience and to better prepare
themselves for the spring.
"We're very young and
inexperienced," said Nelson.
"We're not playing well as a

inconsistent and are trying to
develop some consistency." The
Longwood coach does feel his

Longwood 1-1 In Weekend Tourney
By MARK HOLLAND
The 1984 Longwood Lancer
soccer team opened its season
Saturday as host of the Southside
Virginia Soccer Tournament.
This year's team has perhaps
the best chance of any previous
Longwood team of earning an
invitation to the post season
NCAA tournament. With 12
veterans and only six freshmen,
the I^ancers are fielding a more
experienced team than last year.
Along with more experience,
there is also a noticeable change
in attitude on the field with tri-
captains Dan Bubnis, Mark
McArdle and Daryl Case,
providing much-needed
leadership on the field.
Opening against Slippery Rock
on Saturday the Lancers started
off fast and showed their
individual superiority. McArdle
took charge early, scoring with a
solid headball from freshman
Tim Ford. The score was called
back because of a questionable
offsides call.
A report of the play in the
opening half reads like an honor
roll. Rob Liessem dominating the
net, three time All-American
Case taking the ball past any and
everyone, veterans John Kennen
and Scott Thoden staking out the
right side of the field. Newcomers
Erick Kam and Mahfoud "Foo"
Kyoud were furhter testament to
Posipanko's recruiting genius.
Karn, teaming with Bubnis,
effectively sealed off the area in
front of the net while Kyoud
showed he had the lightest touch
on the field with his pinpoint
passing. The goal-oriented play
of veterans Clay MuUican and
Mark Kremmen foreshadowed a
high scoring left side this year.
Evidence, though, will have to
wait as Kremmen was ejected
from the game.
Longwood had to play the rest
of the game a man short.
Posipanko at this point
substituted Craig Reid and Scott
Gittman for the overworked Ford
and Mullican who were
desperately missing their
forward. Although playing at an
advantage. Slippery Rock just
could not penetrate the Longwood
defense. There were moments
of high tension but Bubnis and
Case were still on the field and
Liessem was always behind
them.
The second half started with a
handball in front of the net which
gave Slippery Rock a penalty
kick. Liessem made an extraordi-
nary save to get Longwood out of
trouble only to have the referee
call it back. On Slippery Rock's
next shot, which went in, the
referee called a Slippery Rock
player on encrochment and
awarded a third shot. A shell
shocked Liessem could not stop
the ball and The Rock had a 1-0
lead.
Things got worse from there.
The one man disadvantage was
starting to catch up to the
Uncers and the officiating kept
getting worse. There were eight
yellow cards issued, a fact that
Posipanko called "ridiculous,"
and then Gittman got Longwood's
second red card. The nine on
eleven game ended with Slippery
Rock victorious 4-0.
The Lancers were more
composed on Sunday against
Hampden-Sydney. They had 33
shots on goal Freshman Mike

Gay/Lesbian Students To Join Together
By JEFF ABERNATHY
Two years ago this November,
Longwood's campus was buzzing
with news of a gay student's
attempt to form a "Discreet Gay
Society." An interview with the
student in The Rotunda entitled
"Running Scared" caused an
uproar on campus. Moralizing
letters were sent to the
newspaper, and the student was
soon "discovered" and harassed
by numerous other students
unmercifully. The reasoning for
such treatment? Presumably,
the student had committed a
grievous sin; he had been brave
enough to be frank about his
sexuality if only to encourage
others to do the same. The result?
He and other gays and lesbians
on campus were effectively
shoved back into the closet.
Unpermissive Longwood had
does the shoving, and
homosexuals on campus have
literally been forced to stay "in
hiding" ever since.
This fall, however, the subject
of homosexuality will appear on
campus again. Student De-
velopment Educator Barbara
Gorski has been talking to gays
and lesbians on campus in an
effort to help them feel more
accepted at Longwood. A dinner
is being planned for mid-October,
and an effort will be made to
show homosexuals that they have
the support of the students,
administrators and faculty at
Longwood.
"A lot of our gay and lesbian
students choose to meet off
campus, but unless you're
already involved in that group,
you can't get involved," says
Gorski. Thus many freshmen
who are homosexuals are limited
in their socializing. Gorski and
other administrators are
"aiming to put on a dinner for
anyone who is supportive of
freedom of lifestyle choices," she
says. "Hopefully, it will be an
environment where people will
say 'Hey, these students have the
right to choose.' "
The dinner is to be the highlight
of various activities on campus
which will focus on gay and
lesbian rights. The activities are
to be "low risk," allowing
homosexuals some degree of
privacy in an environment
supportive of free choice of
sexuality.
One sophomore male who is
gay spent his freshman year at
Longwood in "a state of fear. I
had no idea who to turn to. I
couldn't go to the RA, and I didn't
know anyone here who would
listen to me after I told them that
I was gay."
Although he still lives with one
foot in the closet door, the student
is now becoming more open about
his sexuality and somewhat
distressed at the situation at
Longwood.
"We have a lot of needs and
rights just like any other
students," he says. "Why can't
we have a Gay Student Union and
separate housing so that we can
live together openly? Why can't
we meet and date one another
without stealing around in
shadows? We're pretty
goddamned tired of lurking
around like criminals. If students
at Longwood are so backward
that they cannot accept reality,
then they should have stayed
back home on the farm, chewing
their tobacco and driving their
Jeep CJs. We're fed up, we're
gay, and we're staying."
Gorski recognizes the need for
a sense of belonging on the part of
Longwood's homosexual
community. She noted that "gay
and lesbian students are looking
for a sense of culture — including
religion. Their choice becomes
'less risky' for them if the
Longwood community is
permissive of alternate life
styles."
The question of religion often
enters in discussions of
homosexuality. Many Jews and
Oiristians claim to oppose gay
and lesbian rights because of
various passages in the Old
Testament. Gorski notes,
however, that these very same
people rarely adhere strictly to
other passages in the Bible such
as that forbidding intercourse
while a woman is infertile or that
forbidding premarital sex.
Adherence, it seems, is only for
those who deviate "too far" from
the norm.
Gorski realizes that not all
Longwood students will be wholly
permissive. However, she adds,
"I also know that there are some
people on campus who are willing
to say to gay and lesbian students
'you're O.K.'"
The Rotunda Interviews: Horace Scruggs
On Tuesday, September 11,
Geist's annual Oktoberfest
tapping was held. As usher after
usher was joyously brought up to
the Jarman stage, as the 1984
Mittenmeister and Festmeisters
were named, one group of four.^
students sat sullenly amid the
melee. Among them was Senior
Horace Scruggs, who was to be
named to the position of
Geistmaster at the conclusion of
the ceremony. Scruggs, however,
chose to refuse the position in a
protest of Geist, saying "I'd like
to thank everyone who feels that -
I'm worthy to receive this
position, but I can't see myself
running around in a clown outfit .
. . I care too much about the rest
of the world."
In the first of the 1984-85 series
of Rotunda interviews, Scruggs
explains the protest and the
motivations behind it.
ROTUNDA: Obviously, the
primary question on the minds of
the ra-ras and a few other
"traditionalists" on campus is
"Why?" What was the reasoning
behind the action?
SCRUGGS: The comment was
made simply in protest of all the
energy that's put into such
childish antics while little
attention is given to the issues
that really concern each and
r
every student at Longwood -
rather than a select few.
ROTUNDA: What are your
feelings in general towards
Geist?
SCRUGGS: I feel that it's o.k. .
. . if students want to spend their
time holding on to high school.
But at the same time there should
be twice as much effort put into
becoming responsible, thinking
adults; this is an effort which I
and several others see lacking
here at Longwood.
ROTUNDA : So the protest was,
in part at least, an effort to
overcome this failing?
SCRUGGS: What I really
would like is for people to sit
down and talk ... that is what it
was done for: to say 'let's talk
about it.'
ROTUNDA: Are the members
of Geist truly campus leaders?
SCRUGGS: There are many
other people on this campus who
give to much more worthwhile
things: within their departments
as well as on the campus as a
whole. These people are giving,
yet it's the ra-ras that get picked
for Geist, and, consequently,
noticed and rewarded by the
administration.
ROTUNDA: So, is Geist
detrimental to the campus
community?
SCRUGGS: Yes, very much so
because it's prolonging a high
school attitude which does
nothing for any graduating senior
or incoming freshman because it
doesn't afford them the
opportunity to see what is real in
the world.
ROTUNDA: Were last
Tuesday's action effective? Did
anyone care?
SCRUGGS: What the action did
was, number one, let Geist know
that there are some who refuse to
go along with these childish
games, and, number two, it
opened up an avenue of protest
which seemed to be closed in the
past.
■ff/k'
i^tf
ROTUNDA: You said that you
turned down the position because
you "care too much about the
world." Would you elaborate on
that?
SCRUGGS: That was a
statement which came from the
group I was with, David Areford,
Laura Cullinan and Theresa
John, which simply means that
we refuse to be content with our
own satisfactions. We strive to
see that all students' needs are
met and that their opinions are
voiced.
ROTUNDA: Is Geist an
exclusive, say elitist if you will,
organization?
SCRUGGS: I would say they're
happy with the way their lives,
particularly with the prestige
that they have. They're living in a
closed world. I mean, showing a
slide show of yourself certainly
shows a certain amount of
{f gotism. They're short-sighted . .
. they can't see the needs of
3tudents because they're dealing
with only a handful of students,
and that handful happens to be
the ra-ras.
ROTUNDA: How would you
define the typical ra-ra?
SCRUGGS: One who is much
caught up in the "spirit" of
Longwood but who fails to see the
actual needs of the students here.
By needs I mean the ability to
think about those outside of one's
self and see the rights and wrongs
of our society. There is also the
willingness to take a stand on
beliefs which are true.
ROTUNDA: What would you
propose that Geist do in order to
be more sensitive to the needs of
the average student?
Number One, stop basing its
requirements for entrance on
deeds done in the interests of
Geist itself or in the interests of
the ra-ras. Secondly, spend more
time building a thinking and
socially-aware Longwood rather

Your Turn
I had an editorial to be printed in this space. I really
did. It was a verbose piece of writing on the sorority and
fraternity system here at Longwood. My editorial line
was something like 'give independence a chance before
you run off to join the Greeks.' I did have that. Now I
don't.
The Farmville Herald refused to print my editorial.
Too freeking verbose is what they thought. In the eyes of
the printer, my article was either "obscene, immoral,
or illegal." I was a bad boy. I used harsh language. One
shouldn't use harsh language in this town, you know.
For this is not the real world, this is Farmville. Rather
than consider a viewpoint, it is thought proper in
Farmville to refuse to examine the view.
I can hardly agree with this mentality. In this world,
there is no room for a closed mind. Yet because I must
abide by the whims of those who print this journal, for
now I must allow myself and my beliefs to be pushed
around in the interests of the students at Longwood. At
some point, however, we students will grow tired of
being shoved back from awareness. I hope that point is
around the corner, for I certainly cannot see it now.
Rather than print a watered-down version of my
work, which I refuse to do, I will not run this week's
editorial. Not again, however, and I refer you to the
thirty-third line in Mr. e. e. Cumming's poem, "I Sing of
Olaf." Naturally, I am unable to print the line. It is
"illegal, immoral," or possibly, in the tainted view of
my printer, "obscene."
Censorship in a free society. . . a frightening reality
which is all too close at hand.
Geist Recognizes
Scruggs
To the Editor:
As many of your readers are
undoubtedly aware, this year's
Oktoberfest Tapping was marked
by a somewhat unexpected
occurrence, namely the public
refusal by Mr. Horace Scruggs to
accept a position as this year's
Geistmeister. Traditionally,
Geist has reserved this
prestigious position for the senior
who most aptly represents the
ideals of service to one's class
and school spirit.
We, the members of Geist,
would like to take this
opportunity to thank Mr. Scruggs
for honestly expressing his
opinion. We are both
understanding of and
sympathetic towards his feelings
and are quite willing to accept his
decision. Despite Horace's
refusal, Geist would like to
recognize him for the services he
has rendered to Longwood
College. While the hard work of
many students goes unnoticed,
Geist prides itself in recognizing
the accomplishments of these
individuals, regardless of their
personal opinions toward our
organization.

To the Editor:
I On Friday, September 14, I
went to use my car which I had
parked in Lancer lot five days
before, and it was gone. I
contacted campus police and
found it had been towed without
any notification to me. The
officer informed me that my car
was at Lawson Ford about two
miles down on Main Street. When
I asked him to take me there his
attitude was reluctantly helpful.
Once at Lawson Ford I found

that the towing charge was $30.00
and storage was $3.00 a day for
everyday they had my car
without my knowledge (two
days). My car was also ticketed
twice at $6.00 a ticket, bringing
the grand total to $48.00 for five
days of parking at Longwood
College.
I was under the impression that
when any police officer
authorized personal property to
be moved they were to contact
the owner. Since campus police
took the time to write two tickets
and call for a tow truck they
could have at least notified me
too!
Saturday when I went to my
mailbox I found a letter from
Meredith Strohm, about
Important Changes in Campus
Parking. This notice doesn't
mention towing for cars parked
in the faded blue section of
Lancer lot.
As an independent student I
find it hard to deal with $48.00 -
worth of unexpected parking
costs in five days. I'm sure every
student knows how dear $48.00 is
to them, and can think of many
better ways to use it than paying
for parking. I feel my
expenditure was unnecessary.

Longtime Dying
By RICHARD D.LAMM
Late one March afternoon, I happened to
remark, in the course of a talk to a small group of
health lawyers and one reporter, that "we all have
a duty to die." The next day, all hell broke loose.
The headline in The Denver Post announced:
gives doctors and hospitals immunity from civil or
criminal prosecution if they have acted according
to a "living will." The heart of a living will is
simple:
If a person should have an injury, disease or
illness regarded by his physician as incurable and

people have come to believe that medical
technology has run amok.
It would seem that a new liberation movement
is forming, a movement for liberation from our
machines when they are used not to prolong living
but to prolong dying.
But there is a relentless kind of technological
cognitive, sapient state."
But these guidelines are minimal, and even the
most fundamental question, "Is a person dead,"
differs from state to state. Twelve states have not
adopted the so-called uniform brain death law.
Whatever the ultimate standard, it is clear that
most people recognize that at some point treat-
imperative, particularly in the medical field: If ment becomes both counterproductive and cruel,
we invent a machine we have a duty to use it. In an Pope John Paul II stated in 1980 that the refusal of

will be a direct conflict between the health of the to the living will, for determining the conditions
individual and the health of the society. We cannot for treatment or nontreatment of injury or illness,
afford all the medical miracles that the profession California and Colorado have passed bills allowing
stands ready to give, and choices will have to be
made about the distribution of limited medical
resources. Technological immortality is running
into fiscal reality.
A large proportion of our health-care bill
already goes for the care of patients who have no
chance of recovery. We spend 28 percent of
Medicare funds on the 6 percent of Medicare
patients to appoint attorneys to represent them in
medical areas.
But the best option currently available to the
terminally ill is to arrange for hospice care. The
philosophy of hospices is to ease the dying process
by providing whatever pain medication or
psychological support is needed. Hospices give
terminally ill patients and their families choices
patients who die each year. In other words, we about their care, including such extreme choices
spend our time as much on those patients who die as refusing nutrition and fluids when death is
as we do on other Medicare patients.
Many high-tech procedures and machines are
so expensive they interfere with our ability to pay
for other medical procedures. The cost of high
technology is one of the main factors cited by
health care analysts for the decline in funds for
prenatal care and health care for the elderly.
The easiest issue both politically and morally is
imminent.
Medicaid and Medicare should pay for hospice
care as an alternative to hospital care for the
dying, because the cost is lower and the quality of
care is higher. Some hospitals, like the Veteran's
Administration Hospital in Denver, are beginning
to allocate a few beds to hospice care for the dying.

Florida Moves To
Ban Overnight Guests
GAINESVILLE, FL (CPS) -
University of Florida students
soon may find their indoor
nocturnal activities curtailed by
a ban on members of the
opposite sex spending the night
with them in residence halls and
fraternity houses.
And if Florida and other
colleges are any indication,
students everywhere may soon
be facing tough new restrictions
on what they can do in campus
housing.
Florida decided to think
seriously about joining the
growing number of colleges that
restrict visiting hours when a
university task force suggested
the changes in July.
Student reaction was mixed.
The 13-member task force,
made up of faculty, students
and community
representatives, was reacting
to an alleged rape at a
fraternity house and a campus
hearing into a student's
complaint about being
disturbed by late-night visitors,
says Hugh Cunningham,
director of university
information.
"Currently, overnight
visitation is not permitted,"
Cunningham notes. "But 24-
hour visitation is, so obviously
overnight visitation probably
exists."
Among the suggestions were
in-house monitoring by students
and staff of individual residence
halls, and live-in adult
supervision in fraternity
houses.
Most fraternity members
reacted "very well" to the
recommendations, reports Tom
Dougan, campus fraternity
advisor, though many feel they
have been singled out because
of the alleged rape this spring.
"In the coming year we'll
start staffing the fraternities
with grad students or house
mothers," Dougan says. "But
most fraternity members don't
Family Style Dining Still A Pleasure!?
feel the presence of a house
mother would have prevented
what allegedly occurred."
Last week, a 16-year-old girl
visiting UF claimed she was
raped at a pre-rush party at
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, which
does not have a resident adult
supervisor.
UF police are still
investigating the incident.
Some fraternity members
also say they can't afford the
$15,000 a year to hire a house
mother.
Student reaction to the
suggestions was minimal
because of the summer release
of the task force's report, but
Cunningham expects more
feedback as students return to
campus this fall.
Florida is one of a number of
colleges that have changed
overnight visitor policies
recently. While sign in-sign out
sheets and curfews are
outdated, restricted guest hours
are replacing the more liberal
policies promoted in the sixties
and seventies on many
campuses.
In 1980, the University of
Pittsburgh revised its 24-hour
visitation policy and now
restricts overnight guests to the
same sex. Kent State, Kansas
and Alabama, among others,
soon followed suit.
The changes at Pitt and Kent
State were prompted by
dormitory murders.
Administrators there and at
other schools cite security as
the reason for the changes.
Students themselves are the
ones asking for the stricter
housing policies, claims Paul
Jahr, research committee
chairman of the American
Association of College and
University Housing Officers
(ACUHO).
"The nature of college
students in general is
changing," he explains. "They
are making an economic
decision to go to college and
they want to make the best use
of their time."
Dorm visiting policies were a
question "way back when,"
Jahr adds, but as society has

decades, so have students.
"Most students now were
born after Kennedy was
assassinated," he says.
"They've grown up in a more
permissive society and the
question of visitation hours just
isn't that big an issue to them."
Some students, however, are
unhappy with college
administrators' attempts to
regulate visiting hours
regardless of security or social
reasons.

ROTUNDA: Do you see directly affect them.
Longwood students in general as
primarily self-oriented?
SCRUGGS: Yes. There are
many things happening in the
world around us which Longwood
just seems to take in stride.
ROTUNDA: Such as?
SCRUGGS: Such as prejudice
in the surrounding area and
nuclear proliferation.
The heavy use of alcohol and
the general idea that we all must
conform in order to be liked . . .
These things are certainly
detrimental to Longwood, and, as
we grow instead of wiser,
detrimental to the society as well.
ROTUNDA: Would you say
that the image of Snoopy,
dancing on top of the dog house
for everyone to see, fits a large
number of people on this
campus?
SCRUGGS: There are a
number of people who seem to fit
that description, and, sadly
enough, their weekend dances
seem to start every Wednesday
night.
ROTUNDA: So you see alcohol
as a large problem on campus?
SCRUGGS: Yes. It seems to
perpetuate several idas, one
being comformity. Another-uhh-
mindlessness and
irresponsibility.
ROTUNDA: So there is a
poliarzation on campus, with the
ra-ras on one end and the
apathetic students on the other?
SCRUGGS: The polarization is
that you have the ra-ras here (on
one end), a thinking group of
students on the other end and a
ROTUNDA: How do you bring
the opposite ends together, and at
the same time, bring about a
positive attitude from the "don't
give a damn" students?
SCRUGGS: By transferring the
love-of-self to the love-of-others.
That's the basic idea, and this
idea includes making all students
socially aware. In doing this,
we'll get students to voice their
opinions and obtain a society
where all people count and not
just an elite few.
ROTUNDA: This is still
somewhat vague. How do leaders

Sponsors Trip
By NATALIE THOMPSON
Every two or three years Dr.
Egbert, Chairman of Longwood's
Department of Music, attempts
to organize enough students for a
European tour. This year a two
week trip to London has been set
to begin December 27 and
conclude January 7th or 8th. The
cost of this trip is a very
reasonable $993.48 and there are
quite a few spaces still open. Dr.
Egbert will be directing a choral
group during this tour and
encourages anyone interested to
audition. It is not necessary,
however, to be a part of this
group to make the trip. A deposit
of $50 is due October 1, therefore,
Dr. Egbert would like to
encourage everyone interested to
contact the music department as
soon as possible.
social awareness?
SCRUGGS: By asking "why?"
and not going along with
tradition. By finding out how the
community feels — educating on
issues which affect that
community.
ROTUNDA: We're talking
about issues very close to racism.
Would you say that groups such
as Geist promote stereotyping?
SCRUGGS: No - not
intentionally. I don't think that
they promote stereotyping. They
promote an exaggerated view of
one's self which makes people not
listen to others. Therefore,
opinions of others are often based
on one's own ideas.
ROTUNDA: Is Geist a
nonessential part of campus life?
SCRUGGS: Well, I'm quite
sure that Longwood could carry
on as well — if not better —
without it.

The function of grades is
revealed by using a little
imagination. Imagine that the
grading system was abolished
today. If you are a teacher, are
you sure that the students would
come to class, laugh at your jokes
and treat you with respect? If you
are a student, would you do what
the teachers want?
I recently talked about
education with a group of college
students. They felt that the
pressures of term papers and
examinations left them no time to
really absorb their subjects or
even think about them. There
was one exception. He was a
young Vietnam veteran who was
badly injured in combat. He
received a government disability
pension. He lived frugally, and
his pension met his forseeable
financial needs.
The veteran handled college
very differently from the other
students. He concentrated on the
classes from which he learned
and didn't worry about the
others. He got some low grades,
but didn't let them bother him.
He went to school to learn, not to
get good grades.
The other students in the group
wishes they could follow his
example. None of them dared.
They feared that low grades
might damage their future
employment possibilities. I have
never seen a better illustration of
the nature of grading, which has
more to do with money and
power, than with learning.
The grading system gives
power to teachers over students.
The main function of grades is to
punish the student for not doing
what their teachers want them to
do. Students and parents are
terrorized by the way a teacher
can harm a student's future
prospects.
Grades teach people to rely on
the judgements of others about
their learning. Students do not
learn to evaluate their own
learning, a skill they will need in
almost anything they do.
Students are taught by the
grading system to obey instead of
learning to learn. Years later
they find that they don't know
where to begin the process of
learning something new unless
there is a teacher to tell them.
Teachers believe that grades
are necessary to help students
learn. Grades tell students how
well or poorly they are doing. If
this is their function, why do they
have to be recorded on
permanent records where they
can cause so much damage?
Most students, however, will tell
you that their grades don't reflect
their learning. Students receive
good grades when they give
teachers what they want, which
means they usually learn less.
Learning needs to be evaluated
in many settings and for many
purposes. Graduate and
professional schools need to
assess a student's previous
learning. Employers and
licensing agencies need to do the
same. Let them do it. It is not
necessary that the lower-level
schools and the teachers do it for
them. Let somebody else do the
judging. For when teachers judge
instead of teach, a wedge of
power is driven between the
teacher and the student. They are
no longer on the same side. That
gap has been there for most of us
for so long we don't even notice it.

On October 11th through 13th at
8:00 p.m., the Jarman Hall
curtain will rise on Bertolt
Brecht's "The Threepenny
Opera," a delightful musical
romp through the slum and
waterfront sections of Victorian
England. No prim and proper
England here; instead the stage
abounds with delightful rogues, -
the most villainous of whom is the
notorious Macheath (alias Mack
the Knife), portrayed in the
Longwood production by Vince
Decker. This 1920's "mafia
forerunner" has his fingers on
the criminal pulse of London and
is head of as colorful a gang of
thieves, liars, and cutthroats as
has ever been portrayed onstage.
No wonder, then, that Mr. and
Mrs. Jonathan Peachum, played
by Jerry Dagenhart and Laura
Coombs, are appalled when their
daughter, Polly, (Sophia
Paulette) is smitten with the
handsome stranger. Matters
deteriorate when the lovestruck
Polly actually dares to commit
the "immoral act" of marrying
him! Such happiness, of course, ■
cannot last. Waiting in the wings
are two of Macheath's "formers"
— a rejected mistress named
Jenny (Connie Watkins) with
bitter dreams of revenge, and
Lucy the mistress of Newgate

of rekindling the "old flame."

Longwood College archeology students used
19th-century mining technology to learn about
prehistoric Virginia Indians this summer.
During the rainy month of July, students in
Longwood's Summer Field School in Archeology
faced an unusual dilemma. They had to sift
through dirt from a four-stepped trench that had
just been dug. Normally, the soil is dry and
sandy, making it easy to shake it through a
screen to recover artifacts.
But the rains had changed the dirt into mud.
The essential screening of the mud would have
been wastefully time-consuming and difficult,
said Dr. James Jordan, field school director.
When Hicksie Wells, Longwood's grounds
foreman, was helping in the digging of the step-
trench, he suggested that a pump and a firehose
would enable water to be pumped out of nearby
Little Buffalo Creek and onto a screen. Water
from the hose would aid the archeologists in
sifting through the muddy soil. "Hicksie likened
it to a gold-mining operation," Jordan said.
Three students — Kinney Swisher of Amherst,
Craig Diffee of Dinwiddle, and Jeff Buttles of
Hampton — quickly went to work on the details.
They made a device consisting of a generator,
pump, firehose and screen. After dirt was
carried in buckets to the screen, the students
used the hose to separate it from the hoped-for
evidence of the past — projectile points,
scrapers, and shards of pottery, mostly.
"The hallmark of archeology is adapt-
ability," Jordan said. "We have met the
challenge of our muddy July environment and
have not become extinct!"
Thirty-eight students participated in the 10-
week Archeology Field School, which ended on
August 10. A student's first five-week field school
is known as Anthropology 495: Basic Techniques
in Field Archeology. In the second internship —
Anthropology 595: The Organization of
Archeological Fieldwork — students conduct
independent projects under Jordan's super-.
vision.
Since August 1981, the Field School has been
held each summer at the Smith-Taylor site,
located near the junction of the Appomattox
River and Little Buffalo Creek in Prince Edward
County. The site is on a 289-acre farm formerly
owned by the late Robert A. Smith of Farmville.
Mr. Smith and Jordan negotiated an agreement
in the summer of 1981 allowing the site to be used
for archeological fieldwork. The site's name also
recognizes Robert E. Taylor, Chairman of the
Board of Taylor Manufacturing Co., Inc., of
Farmville, who has been a patron of the Field
School.
Approximately 20 percent of the 2.1-acre site
has been excavated, said Jordan. The site, which
has an elevation of 315 feet, sits on a flood plain
which lies 15 feet lower. This slight elevation
prevented flooding, kept insects away, and still
allowed the prehistoric inhabitants to stay close
to the water of Little Buffalo Creek.
"I think it was used during the Archaic Period
— 8,000 years before the present to 3,000 years
before the present — as a base camp for Indians
who moved seasonally up and down the
Appomattox River," Jordan said. "They would
come here for a few days or a few weeks to ex-
ploit the available food resources. It was
probably not a permanently occupied site; it
may have been unused for hundreds of years."
"In the Woodland Period — 3,000 years before
the present to about 1600 AD — settled groups
probably used the mound as a permanent oc-
cupation site. So this site, apparently, had two
uses — first for migratory hunting and gathering
bands and later as a hamlet for farmers."
Taking advantage of the unusually high water
in the Appomattox, two Field School students
took a canoe upstream and, paddling their way
back to the Smith-Taylor site, did preliminary
survey work at similar mounds and bluffs close
to the water. Buttles and Jaison Annarino used a
topographical map to locate these sites.
Craig Diffee, of Dinwiddle County, uses liose to sift tlirough mud.

Maxwell To Give Lecture
Longwood College chemist
Maurice Maxwell will open this
year's Faculty Colloquium Series
with a lecture on his research on
some compounds of thiophene.
The lecture, titled "The Nature
of the 3,4-Bond of Thiophene," is -
scheduled for Wednesday,
September 19, at 7:30 p.m. in
Wygal Auditorium. It is open to
the public at no charge.
Dr. Maxwell is one of a limited
number of chemists in this
country who are working in
thiophene chemistry. (Thiophene
is prepared by the high-
temperature interaction of
butane and sulf ur. It is used in
organic synthesis.)
Dr. Maxwell's work is, in part,
a "prove-disprove" reaction to
research by Janssen and deJong
of the Netherlands. It resulted in
the synthesis of another new
thiophene derivative, benzo (1,2-
c:3,4-c) dithiophene.
A graduate of Emory and
Henry College, Dr. Maxwell
received the Ph.D. from West
Virginia University. He joined
the Longwood faculty in 1974 and
presently directs the college's
chemistry program.
Dr. Maxwell, along with Dr.
Patrick Barber, has been
engaged in a project for the
Langley Research Center,
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration. The two
chemists have developed some
high peformance plastics
(polymers) which are stable at
high temperatures.
The other lecturers in the 1984-
85 Colloquium Series are: Dr.
John Molnar, professor emeritus
of music, who will discuss the
music of Colonial Williamsburg;
Dr. Gerald Carney, assistant
professor of religion at Hampden-
Sydney College, whose topic is
Krishna, one of the most beloved
Hindu gods; and L. Marshall
Hall, associate professor and
head of Longwood's department
of history and government, who
will discuss the "complex
phenomenon of Southern
Unionism" as revealed in the life
of William L. Sharkey of
Mississippi.
The Faculty Colloquium,
established at Longwood in 1973,
provides an opportunity for
faculty members to share with
colleagues, students, and the
public topics of research which
are separate from, but related to,
their teaching studies.
Bird Assumes Command
Carl D. Bird, a senior from Petersburg, has
assumed command of the Longwood ROTC
Battalion.
Bird, a business administrator major, of-
ficially took over as Battalion Conmiander in an
ROTC awards and recognition ceremony last
Wednesday. Bird's new insignia of rank was
pinned on his epaulettes by Lt. Col. C. Frank
Broome, professor of Military Science at the
University of Richmond.
He will be responsible for Longwood's ROTC
Battalion, which currently totals approximately
225 cadets. His selection was based on such
factors as his academic and ROTC grades, his
performance at Advanced ROTC Camp, and
military proficiency.
Also during the ceremony, which was held in
Bedford Auditorium, many ROTC cadets
received awards for their participation in
Advanced ROTC Camp this past summer. Some
26 Longwood cadets attended the six-week
Camp, which was held at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina.
Other awards included the following:
300 Club: Carl Bird, Charles Campbell, David
Fowler, Guy Hackett, Steven Harmon, James
Jackson, Betsy Komieck, and William Reim-
snider. III.
Physical Proficiency: David Fowler, Charles
Campbell, Steven Harmon.
Land Navigation: David Fowler, Adam Lee,
Jeffrey Thorpe.
Military Proficiency: David Fowler.
Honor Company: James Jackson, Lee Jones,
Adam Lee, Brian Liming.
Carl Bird is now responsible for 225 cadets.
Mixed Tuition Trends Nationwide
By SUSAN SKORUPA
(CPS) — In-state students at
Michigan's four-year state
colleges and universities won't
have to pay any more tuition than
they did last year.
But students at Arizona's three
state universities will pay 14
percent more, even though the
national inflation rate has been
around four percent since last
fall.
Students nationwide, in short,
are finding a mixed tuition
picture as they start fall classes.
While scattered colleges and
university systems have
managed to hold increases to a
minimum, many other schools
have imposed tuition hikes well
above the inflation rate.
"There's no trend toward
freezing or raising tuition that
I'm aware of," says Brooke
Breslow of the College Board.
"There will be different states
and institutions each year that
freeze. Some stay stable for two
years, then go up. Then others
freeze the next year."
In mid-August, the College
Board predicted total college
costs — which include room and
board, books, supplies,
transportation, and personal
expenses as well as tuition — will
rise an average six percent this
fall.
Some colleges, of course, have
been more successful than others
in keeping increases down.
Administrators at all of
Michigan's four-year colleges
took Gov. James Blanchard's
offer to freeze in-state
undergraduate tuition in
exchange for an 11 percent
increase in state funding.
"There was some concern a-
mong administrators that tuition
was too high," says Ron Jursa of
Michigan State Higher Education
Management. "Colleges were
afraid of being priced out of the
market."
"I think the freeze is good,"
stresses Jim Labadie, a senior at
Wayne State University in
Detroit. "But tuition is still fairly
high. I think we're still among the
top ten in the country in terms of
high tuition rates."
Tuition freezes, in fact,
typically don't last. The
University of New Mexico has
followed last year's tuition freeze
with a 10 percent hike this year.
"The 10 percent reflects the
change in state funding," says
UNM budget director Jim
Wiegmann. "We also needed to
make up somewhat for the 1983-84
freeze."
And this year's freeze in the
state of Washington could
translate into a 24 percent
increase during the 1985-1987
period at state community
colleges, says Kate Brown of the
Washington Association of
Community Colleges.
The cost of education continues
to climb, she notes, and while
inflation is only four-to-five
percent nationally, the Higher
Education Price Index, which
measures the costs of goods and
services to colleges, is running at
10-to-ll percent increases.
Colleges will spend a total $85.5
billion this school year, according
to a National Center for
Education Statistics report
released last week.
In Arizona, legislative pressure
on campuses to raise more
money to pay the higher costs
convinced the Board of Regents
to kick up tuition 14 percent at the
three state universities.
"Tuition is set by the regents,"
says Otis Elliott, spokesman for
the regents. "But it's certainly
influenced by the governor and
the state legislature."
But when legislators and the
governor attempted to raise in-
state tuition at the State
University of New York system,
student protest helped kill the
proposal.
"The students made their
unhappiness clearly known,"
says Dick Gillman of SUNY
Affairs and Development. "We
have a pretty strong student
body. They went directly to the
legislators. Tuition stayed where
it was, which pleased us very
much."
At least one school managed to
roll back tuition this year.
First-through-third-year
students at George Washington's
med school will pay 1.3 percent
less — or $250 — than last year.
Fourth-year students get a $100
tuition decrease, from $17,000 to
$16,900 a year.
Even those tiny rollbacks,
however, are rare nationwide as
many schools impose double-
digit increases again this fall.
Penn State's increase, for
example, is 10.8 percent for 1984-
85. An administrative study
shows costs at Penn have
increased 170 percent since 1972.
"We have looked at every
available avenue for breaking the
16-year cycle of tuition
increases," university President
Bryce Jordan said this summer.
"Unfortunately, this year's
budget reflects the cumulative
effects of past underfunding."
Oklahoma students face 10
percent in-state and 15 percent
out-of-state increases this year
because of legislative cuts in
education funding.
Private colleges and
universities are averaging tuition
increases of approximately 7.5
percent in 1984-85, the College
Board says.
Stanford raised tuition 7.5
percent, considerably below its
10.7 percent average yearly
increase since 1971. But in the
past decade, the school has risen
from eighth to sixth place in
tuition costs among comparable
institutions.
Cornell and Dartmouth
students will pay 7.9 percent
more this year. Administrators
blame higher energy and
maintenance costs and
diminishing federal college aid
funds for the jump.
University of Miami student
leaders blame administrative
"mismanagement" for a 7.5
percent cost hike there.

Heralded Psychologist
To Give Lecture
New "Solomon Ammendment^^
Increases Pressure To Register
Kenneth B. Qark, educator,
psychologist, and civil rights
leader, will give this year's first
Simkins Lecture at Longwood
College.
The lecture, entitled "Social
Science and Social Morality," is
scheduled for Wednesday,
September 26, at 7:30 p.m. in
Jarman Auditorium.
Clark is both scholar and
activist. He is Distinguished
Professor of Psychology
Emeritus of the City College, City
University of New York, and a
past president of the American
Psychological Association. He
presently serves on the board of
trustees of Howard University,
the University of Chicago, and
the Woodrow Wilson
International Center for
Scholars.
He is a leader of social justice
and equal educational
opportunity. The 1954 Supreme
Court decision against
segregated schools was based
largely on his 1950 study showing
that segregation causes
psychological damage in
children.
Commenting upon the decision
in 1964, Clark noted, "The Court
saw the issue clearly and in the
same human terms in which
(blacks) had felt it. A racist
system inevitably destroys and
damages human beings; it
brutalizes and dehumanizes
them, blacks and whites alike."
He is the author of several
books, including the prize-
winning Dark Ghetto, Prejudice
and Your Child, and Pathos of
Power. He is co-editor with
Talcott Parson of The Negro
American.
With his wife, Mamie Phipps
Clark, he founded the Northside
Center for Child Development for
the treatment of children with
personality and learning
problems. He is now president of
Clark, Phipps, Clark & Harris, a
firm which provides consultation
on personnel matters with
particular emphasis on human
relations.
Dr. Clark is the recipient of
numerous honors, including the
College Board's Medal for
Distinguished Service to
Education, given to persons who
"have provided national
leadership and service in the
advancement of educational
opportunity."
Born in the Canal Zone,
Panama, Dr. Clark was educated
in the public schools of Harlem
and at Howard University. He
received the Ph.D. in psychology
from Columbia University.
The Francis Butler Simkins
Lecture Series honors the
memory of an eminent scholar
and writer at Longwood. Dr.
Simkins came to the college in
1928 after receiving his Ph.D. in
history from Columbia
University. With the exception of
periods he spent as a visiting
professor at Louisiana State
University and at Princeton, Dr.
Simkins remained a member of
the Longwood faculty until his
death in 1966.
WASHINGTON, DC (CPS) -
Rep. Gerald Solomon, author of
the law that denies federal aid
to students who refuse to
register for the draft, says he
may soon introduce a new law
to apply even more pressure on
students to sign up with
Selective Service.
The measure aims to punish
schools that set up special funds
to support students who lose
federal aid because they refuse
to register with Selective
Service.
"My impression is
Congressman Solomon would be
encouraging schools' attention
to concurment with the Solomon
amendment, which is the intent
of Congress and the U.S. law,"
says Jeff Gleason, a Solomon
aide.
There is no evidence any
schools have actually set up
student support funds, but
Gleason claims "some have
said that's what they intend to
do."
Harvard, Northwestern,
Swarthmore and Yale
universities did announce plans
to give private aid to students
who can't get federal aid,
regardless of the reason. "It's
ridiculous," said one frustrated
male Longwood College
student. "The Solomon
amendment is unjust and
unfair. Further legislation such
as the proposal currently being
discussed will only serve to
perpetuate the D.C. as senility
which we are forced to work
with now. We are being
punished for our personal
principles. Is that fair?"
Solomon's new amendment
would cut off funds to medical,
dental, allied and other health
profession schools that help
non-registrants. Those funds
currently are awarded under
Title VII of the Public Health
Services Act.
Health educators, like aid
administrators in 1982, are
lobbying to alter the
amendment before it reaches
the House, claiming it's not the
job of schools to force student
compliance with Selective
Service laws.
"We don't object to the
underlying premise that
students must register for the
draft to get student aid, but it is
quite another thing to expect the
health professions schools to do
the job of the Selective Serv-
ice," said Marty Liggett of the
American Association of Dental
Schools (AADS) in an interview
with Higher Education Daily.
The American Council on
Education and the National
Association of Land Grant
Colleges have joined AADS to
change the amendment while
other education and
professional groups are
withholding official reaction.
Even though 98 percent of the
eligible men have already
complied with the draft laws,
"It's a question of principle,"
insists Gleason of Solomon's
office. "Even if a large portion
of people are abiding by the law,
you still want full compliance."
The illegal activity of a few
students isn't fair to those who
do register or to colleges and
universities which abide by the
law, he contends.
As written, the amendment
denies grants and contracts to
schools which refuse to comply,
Gleason says, and will affect
only those schools.

Students Work In Europe Over Summer
Three Longwood College
anthropology students pursued
their studies, either formally or
informally, in Europe this past
summer.
Lydia Millar dug for artifacts
in England. Jo Anne Akers
studied French at a university in
France. Shanna Eyer visited
archeological sites in England
and Spain. All three are senior
anthropology majors.
"I think it's unusual that, in a
department which had only 15
majors last year, three of them
were involved in some form of
anthropological fieldwork in
Europe over the summer," said
Dr. James Jordan, associate
professor of anthropology.
Millar, of Midlothian, was one
of eight American college
students who participated in an
archeology program offered by
Westminster College, which is
located near Oxford, England.
The program, titled "The
Archeology of Prehistoric
England," lasted nearly the
entire month of June.
Akers, from Richmond, took
part in a French language and
culture class presented by the
University of Toulouse. Six
Longwood students and 16 from
Kennesaw College in Marietta,
Georgia, were enrolled in the
class, which ran from June 20 to
July 4. She is currently working
on a project related to her
experiences in France which she
will present to two anthropology
classes.
Eyer, of Fairfax, first went to
England to see her family — her
father, a Navy captain, is
stationed in Northwood, England
— and then to Spain. Her travels
included Majorca, a Spanish
island in the Mediterranean.
Earlier in the summer, she had
participated in the first session of
the Summer Field School in
Archeology.
Participants in Millar's
program had to take part in a
five-day "dig" in the nearby town
of Radley, date every building in
the town of Wootton Rivers, and
write a paper about their
experiences.
"The dig site was used during
four periods: the Neolithic,
Bronze, Roman and Saxon
periods," she said. "Twenty-
three burials and cremations
were found there by a team of
professional archeologists who
were acting as teachers. Those
bodies were all from the Roman
Period. The site we worked on
was a Bronze Period burial
monument, which the Saxons
later used as a garbage dump.
We found a lot of pottery, animal
bones, a carved bone-comb, and
an antler that had been used for a
pick."
In Wooten Rivers, another
nearby town, the students had to
date a total of 29 buildings.
"Some of the buildings were from
the 10th century," said Millar,
"and they came all the way up to
the present. Some of them
incorporated elements of
architecture from different
periods, so that made it
difficult."
After the program ended in late
COME ROCK WITH...

June, Millar traveled to Irvine,
Scotland, to stay with relatives
for a week. Her father, Dr. Jack
Millar, professor of history at
Longwood, is a native of
Scotland. Millar stayed with a
great-uncle, and also went to
Troon, on the west coast of
Scotland. It was not her first trip
to the British Isles; she once lived
in England for two years while
her father worked on his
doctorate.
Akers, a French minor, had
planned to visit rockshelter and
cave sites in southern France,
but was unable to do so because
her time was limited.
Consequently, she is working on a
linguistics project for which she
will earn anthropology credits.
"She will draw on her
experiences in France to show
how the French language reflects
French culture," Dr. Jordan
said. "She will focus on one
aspect of the language. She is
doing research right now, and
eventually will give an hour and
15-minute presentation to two
Introduction to Anthropology
classes of mine."
Asked to compare young adults
in France and the U.S., Akers
said that the French people she
met were "less modest" (topless
swimmers are common and
many change clothes on the
beach or by the pool), they are
adept at speaking foreign
languages, and are familiar with
both American and French
politics.
Eyer, who is minoring in
sociology, history, and dance, has
traveled extensively abroad. This
summer, she viewed the Mary
Rose, one of King Henry VIII's
ships that was sunk in a storm off
the coast of England. "It was
raised a few years ago and is in
the process of being
reconstructed," she said.
She has been to archeological
sites in Greece ( such as the one at
Malia, an island of Crete) and
Italy, has visited archeological
museums (for example, one in
Heraklion, Greece), and has seen
the world-famous Elgin marbles
in England. The Elgin marbles
were originally part of the
Parthenon and other Greek
sculptures, but in the 1820s Lord
Elgin, a British nobleman, had
them brought to the British
Museum. Considered priceless,
they remain a source of
embarrassment to British
officials.
During the past four summers,
Eyer has traveled to Italy,
Holland, France and Germany,
in addition to England and Spain.
Last summer she visited
Stonehenge and several other
prehistoric Megalithic sites in
England, collecting slides for the
department of Sociology and
Anthropology.
Although all three students
enjoyed themselves overseas,
they were happy to return to the
United States.
"I was so glad to get back
here," said Millar. "Why? I just
missed the American way of life.
I almost kissed the runway at
Byrd Airport when I got in."
Eyer agreed. "After you travel
abroad, you really do appreciate
this country," she said.

Judicial Board Elections:
Why Should You Care?
By RANDY CHITTUM,
President, Government
Dean of Students
"Do you mean to tell me that
there is yet another election
coming up?! I thought the
Student Government Association
just finished with elections,
what's going on?"
You're right, the Student
Government Association (SGA),
just completed the elections for
class offices and the Honor
Board. And while there is no
question that these positions are
very important to student life at
Longwood, the Student Judicial
Board elections represent
another opportunity to become
involved on the campus and are
equally important. In fact, to help
students focus on the importance
of the Student Judicial Board and
because the elections take place
in each residence hall, they are
held separately from class and
honor board elections. This year,
they will be on Friday,
September 28, during your
residence hall desk hours.
"Big deal . . . why should this
judicial thing be importemt to
me?"
We're glad you asked. There
are three main reasons: 1. The
Student Judicial Board holds
"hearings" to help resolve
differences that occur between
students, or conflicts that may
arise between students and staff
or faculty. In a way, they help to
proinpte a safe and secure living
and learning environment on
campus.
"OK, so that's one reason,
what's number two?"
Well, to be perfectly honest, we
hope you will not only vote in the
election but run as a candidate
for your building as well.
"Ya' right, I've got all this
homework from classes and
you're asking me to take on
something else ... I'm trying to
get an education, ya' know!"
That is exactly why we want
you to run for a position on the
board. You see, we know that
"education" is not just something
you get through your classes.
Don's misunderstand us, classes
are critically important but your
"classroom" can be more than
just a room in an academic
building. Other students who
have been on the J-Board have
told us they learned a lot!
"Are you telling me that I could
, put this on my resume and it
might even help me get a job or
get into graduate school?!"
Without a doubt, in fact, many

employers look for experiences in
addition to classes that show
"other abilities" an applicant
brings to a job. Things like what
kind of a "person" will this
candidate be, will he-she be able
to "get along'' with others, can
he-she be a problem-solver
instead of a problem-creator.
And yes, a majority of graduate
schools look for other
experiences than just class work.
"OK, you got me this far, what
is the last reason . . . and make it
quick 'cause I gotta' class in five
minutes."
You got it . . . the last one is the
fact that the Student J-Board
protects student interests. That
is, the student members make
certain that those who come
before the board receive a fair
and impartial hearing. After all,
if you had to appear before the
board, wouldn't you want to know
that there are folks who
understood what it was like to be
a student and treated you fairly?
"Ya, I guess you're right . . .
well, I'll think about it. What do I
need to do if I want to run?"
First, pick up an application at
your reception hall desk and fill it
out. They'll be available this
week. Off -campus students can
pick them up in the off-campus
student lounge at Lankford.
Return it as soon as possible but
no later than September 28. Your
application will be posted for
other students to see so they can
decide who they want to vote for.
And don't forget to vote! Ballots
can be filled out at the reception
desk of your hall on Friday, Sept.
28th, or in the Lankford Union
reception office for off-campus
students.

Lady Lancers Rewrite Record Book
Longwood's women's golf team
turned in perhaps its finest
weekend of golf ever in the eighth
Longwood Invitational
Tournament Friday through
Sunday, but it wasn't enough to
top Division I power Wake Forest
which won the tourney by 14
strokes.
Led by senior Lanie Gerken
and freshman Tina Barrett,
Longwood put together rounds of
304-307-317 for a school record 928
total for 54 holes. Wake Forest
was even better with 299-30M10
for a tournament record-tying 914
count at l.«ngwood Golf Course.
In one tournament
performance Longwood rewrote
its own record book. The Lady
Lancers set new standards for 54
hole score (928, old mark 933) for
18-hole score (304, old mark 306)
and turned in their best finish in
the invitational since they won
the first event in 1977.
While Helen Wadsworth of
Wake Forest won the individual
title with a 72-77-71-220 (a
tournament record), Gerken
broke the Longwood record for
individual 54-hole score with a 74-
74-74-222 to finish at even par. All-
American Robin Andrews held
the former record, an 80-75-74-229
set at the Invitational in 1980.
Gerken's second place finish was
the best by a Lady Lancer golfer
since 1977 when Kay Smith won
the title.
Making Longwood's
performance even more amazing
was the presence of three
freshmen and a sophomore in the
top five. Barrett notched third
place in the field of 65 golfers with
a 72-76-78-226 which also broke
Longwood's old record for 54
holes.

Jerome Kersey, Longwood's
top all-time basketball player, is
one of five rookies on the
Portland Trailblazers 16-man
preseason roster. Kersey will
sign a contract with Portland this

general manager Stu Inman.
Kersey flew to Portland
Sunday to begin a two-week
session of special practice for the
team's five rookie hopefuls. The
other rookies are Sam Bowie of
Kentucky, Bernard Thompson
(Fresno State), Steve Colter
(New Mexico State) and Victor

contract sometime in the next
week or so," said Inman. "He is a
kid with, in our judgement,
enough talent to play in the NBA,
but he may not be sophisticated
enough right now.
"He has an honest chance to
make the team. The question is
can he come back to Portland and
improve in the areas Coach

Adleman want. There is a time
factor involved. Is he ready now?
I think he knows it's going to be
tough."
Inman says that Kersey will be
with Portland through at least
part of the exhibition season
which begins October 7. The NBA
regular season kicks off October
27.
Inman calls the 6-7, 220 pounder

his position is small forward. He
has a tendency to play out of
control at times."
Should Kersey fail to make the
Portland roster, Inman says he
would get close attention from
NBA teams if he plays in the
Continental Basketball
Association. "Jerome played
well and got a lot of exposure on
our summer league team in San
Diego."
Kersey scored 1,756 points and
pulled down 1,162 rebounds in his
four-year career at Longwood. A
native of Clarksville, Virginia, he
was a first team AU-American in
1983-84. Portland picked him in

player from a Virginia college to
be drafted.

Commentary By Mark Holland

The Longwood Lancers
invaded Maryland this weekend
and made short order of
defeating Coppin State and the
University of Maryland,
Baltimore County, en route to
winning the UMBC Soccer
Invitational for the second year
in a row. In a tournament marked
by cold weather and gusty winds,
the Lancers outscored the
opposition 10-0 in running up their
season record to 4-1.
Following their opening game
drubbing of Coppin State 5^, the
Lancers played UMBC for the
championship. The day and the
Lancers started off the same,
pretty cold. But after a while the
sun came out, and things started
to warm up. John Kennen was
shining fairly bright down on the
field and he started to heat things
up with his first of four goals.
The Retrievers of UMBC
began the game showing a better
ability to effectively penetrate
the Longwood defensive side of
the field then had Longwood's
previous opponents. The
Retrievers were able to keep the
ball on the defensive side and
keep Longwood out of its' attack
half. On one of Longwood's few
penetrations of the opening
minutes, Kennen took a Scott
Thoden throw-in on his chest,
turned it around his man, and put
it cleanly in the back of the net.
It was not until late in the first
half that the Lancers were able to
increase their lead. Kennen
received a nice pass in the middle
from Mahfoud Kyoud and
punched it past the goalie from
the right to up the score to 2-0.
Scarcely two minutes later it was
Kennen again, this time from the
left side shooting left footed to get
his first half hat-trick.

Lancers started to work the ball
more on the attack half of the
field. Finishing the game with 32
shots on goal, the Lancers kept a
seemingly constant barrage of
shots up during the second half.
Kyoud and Tim Ford held down
the center dishing off to Kennen
and Mark McArdle on the right or
to Clay Mullican and Mark
Kremmen on the left. The right
side and John Kennen provided
the next score as well with
JOHN KENNEN
Kennen dribbling past the
fullbacks and shooting over the
lunging goalie for his eighth goal
of the year making it 4-0.
Senior Tri-captain Darryl Case
made the next score happen,
driving down the left side of the
field. Case got off a powerful shot
on goal that the goalie could not
control. The ever present Jim
DiModica alertly got to the re-
bounding shot and scored from
the right for his second goal of the
year.
Head Coach Rich Posipanko
used the final half of the last
period to give his bench game
experience and improve his
depth. Freshmen PaiU Dzierski,
Jeff Robinson, Ricky Arnold and
Mike Harris all played strong
heads up ball. Posipanko has
proven depth in sophomores John
Anderson, Craig Reid, and Scott
Gittman which he utilized
realizing that he gave up nothing
on the field.
The opening game against
Coppin State was another shoot
out. The Lancers took 33 shots-on-
goal compared to only five by the
Eagles. The Eagles shots-on-goal
figure is a direct reflection of the
tenacity of the Longwood
defense. Erick Karn, Scott
Thoden and Dan Bubnis sealed
off the goal area and the Coppin
State attackers were locked out.
The Longwood attack men,
playing into a head wind, were
cutting the defense to shreds.
Tim Ford got Longwood on the
scoreboard first with his initial
blast. The Lancers, playing some
of their best ball of the year kept
the ball down in Coppin State's
defense.
The Lancers increased their
lead to 2-0 when Ford passed off
to Kennen at the top of the goal
area and Kennen put it neatly in
the net. With the first half coming
to a close McArdle made a
spectacular shot off of a real
tricky bounce when goalie Chuks
Nyaneria of Nigeria missed a
catch. Things only got worse for
Nyaneria, Kyoud sent Case an
arcing pass that the All-
American headed in for the
fourth score of the game. In
second half action, Kyoud sent a
comer kick, with the wind behind
it, curling and arcing and finally
falling into the goal for the final
score.

Censorship sparks dispute
by John D. Brown and
joe Johnson
"It's hell out there," wrote
Jeff Abernathy, Rotunda edi-
tor, in last week's deleted edi-
torial. "It's goddamned loony
bin, machine-gun hell out
there"— and it certainly has
been.
The Farmville Herald has
been printing The Rotunda
for some fifty years, and last
Monday, September 17, that
contract was terminated. Bill
Wall, the General Manager of
the Herald refused to print an
editorial unless Abernathyde-
leted words that Wall called
"foulmouthed" and "ob-
scene." Abernathy would not
change the editorial, but chose
instead to write another edi-
^ ^Obscenities ^^ in question
torial accusing Wall of censor-
ship.
Wall responded to Aberna-
thy's charge of censorship with
a letter: "I do not think you
would be satisfied to continue
dealing with a printer that you
think imposes 'censorship,' and
I assure you that I am not
interested in printing an ob-
scene publication. Therefore
it is in the interest of both par-
Wall told the Roanoke Times
and World News that had there
been fewer "obscenities" he
ties if you will find another would have given Abernathy
printer." (Wall's letter appears
in its entirety on page 2, as a
"Letter to the Editor.")
In the original editorial, Ab-
ernathy eommented on frater-
nity and sorority membership
drives, and used various inter-
jections to strengthen his point.
"poetic license." It wouldn't
seem that a tongue-in-cheek
editorial would warrant this
much controversy, butcensor-
ship is an attack of First Amend-
ment rights. The charges of
censorship did not fail to gain
the attention of other reporters.
with articles on the controv-
ersy appearing in several major
Virginia newspapers.
Wall rejects the charge of
censorship and cited the terms
of the Farmville Herald's print-
ing contract that allow the
Herald to refuse printing those
materials they consider to be
"obscene, immoral orillegal,"
a document never signed by
any current Rotunda staff
member. As editor of The
Rotunda, however, Aberriathy
bears full responsibility for
whatever is printed. "The sole
job of the Herald is to print
our newspaper and the only
debt The Rotunda owes to the
Flerald is to pay them for that
service. The printer is neither
an editor nor a publisher, and
I refuse to let them act in
either capacity. Because the
Herald chose to censor our
material, we were more than
happy to terminate the
relationship."
While Abernathy concedes
that the partial elimination of
the words which Wall objected
to would not have been det-
rtimental to the point of his
editorial, he feels that the free-
dom of expression is seriously
jeopardized by the threat of
censorship. "I didn't really care
about the words, it's the prin-
ciple. We can't and won't be
censored by anyone."

torial appears this week on

Harrison speaks to local Democrats
by Frank Raio
Edythe Harrison, the demo-
cratic nominee for the U.S.
Senate, addressed a local dem-
ocratic group Friday evening
in thelowerdining hall. Harri-
son called the Prince Edward
County "Get Out the Vote"
dinner, "one of the largest
attendances that I have seen at
any democratic affair this year."
In speaking to the group which
included many local party big-
wigs, the nominee attacked
her opponent, Republican in-
cumbent Senator John Warner.
"When I debated Senator
Warner, I beat him. I beat him
on the issues, and I began the
job of unmasking him. ..Un-
masking what he has undone
during the past six years," Har-
rison said. In addition, Harri-
son voiced concern over War-
ner's support of the 10%
across-the-board budget cuts
and Warner's giving "blank
checks" to the MX missile and
B-1 bomber. "'My opponent
votes against what gives us
combat readiness" Mrs. Harri-
son stressed.
In assessing her chances for
victory, Harrison said, "I'm
going to win because I'm win-
ning on the issues, because
I'm unafraid to speak out, be-
cause I'm independent. And I
believe that the people in this
state want and deserve a Sena-
tor that is independent. ..The
people of Virginia do not de-
serve a rubber stamp.
"I know I'm the underdog.
You know what? I like being
the underdog. Who did you
like better, David or Goliath?
Harrison moved to Virginia
in 1955 at the age of 21. She
received her first taste of polit-
ics when she became part of
the organization to reopen the
schools that were closed to
the uprorar over the Brown V.
the Board of Education in 1954.
Harrison is facing an uphill
battle in challenging Republi-
can incumbent Senator John
Warner. There is no doubt
about whether Harrison has
the support of the internal
democratic party structure of
Virginia. The nomination was
offered to Harrison after sev-
eral male democrats declined
the suggestion from Governor
Robb that they run. Harrison
would be the first female sena-
torial candidate to win in a
southern state. One Richmond
newspaper dubbed Mrs. Har-
rison "The democratic nom-
inette." If Edythe Harrison can
transform energy and style into
grassroot votes, she will give
Senator Warner a run for his
money.
Mrs. Harrison granted The
Rotunda an interview after her
speech.
ROTUNDA: Jesse Jackson's
Presidential Campaign made
great gains in registering min-
ority voters, particularly in
Virginia. What steps are being
taken to bring the minority
vote into your corner?
HARRISON: The issues. I will
tell them the issues and tell
how my opponent has treated
them in the past.
ROTUNDA: On what issues
do you and Senator Warner
stand the farthest apart? What
are your major problems with
Warner?
HARRISON: He is not an inde-
pendent, he is a rubber stamp
of the (current) administration.
ROTUNDA: Where do you
and Walter Mondale stand
farthest apart?
HARRISON: I am not for tax
increases. I believe in going
through that budget and re-
ducing spending, as a first step
before I would put in tax in-
creases. And I believe in tax
reform.
ROTUNDA: Do you feel that
Walter Mondale has made suf-
ficient concessions to the
"Rainbow coalition" to bring
them back to the voting booths
in November?
HARRISON: I do not know
Edythe Harrison: "I like being the underdog/
what he has done. I do not
know. (Pause) I mean I really
do not know.
ROTUNDA: In your speech
you used the example of the
$4,000 coffee pot to show
defense contract overcha rging.
And this week the Govern-
ment Accounting Office issued
a report warning of "unrelia-
bility and unservicability" of
several of the U.S. missile sys-
tems. What fresh ideas will you
bring to the Senate to fight
these problems?
HARRISON: By saying No. You
see President Eisenhower
warned us about the military-
industrial complex. With the
tremendous amount of dollars
that the (defense contractors)
put into political campaigns. If
you look at my opponent's
federal election committee re-
port, all of those companies,
their PACs in (the defense)
sector of society are supporting
this heavily. The marriage be-
tween the military and the
military-industrial complex just
continues to escalate and no-
body is watching the shop.
And these contracts are
awarded to one company to
do development. And then
they have the contract to pro-
duce it. And to insure that

Editor's Note:
The following editorial was to have been run on
Tuesday, September 18. Due to opposing definitions
of the terms 'obscene' and 'censorship' the Farmville
Herald refused to run the editorial. We bring this
rather un-magnanimous yet pointed piece of writing
to you now.
It's hell out there. I'm telling you it is goddamned,
loony-bin, machine gun hell out there. It's the last
crazy week before rush, and the Greek salesmen are
popping up like spring rabbits. They're behind
bushes, under tables, they're everywhere. And
they're out to get everyone of you independents.
Steer clear, I am telling you. Steer clear for just one
week. Because, if you let'm shake your hand, stare
you in the eye and say 'I'd like you to join Beta Sigma
fraternity (or sorority — it works both ways)," then
you're a lost hope for us independents.
Sure as you're born, they'll be patting you on the
back, shaking your hand, giving you all kinds of
groovy drugs — and you'll snap. Before you know it
you'll be signing on the dotted line and drafting the
check for a hundred bucks to Beta Sigma and then
they've got you.
No more pansy salesperson bullshit — you are no
longer a prospective, you're a PLEDGE! Aaaaahhh-
shit — visions of toothbrush scrubbings on the bath-
room floor — running naked, cold and hungry down
Main Street— stealing hub caps from the Sheriff's
Vista Cruiser — collecting odd items from stranger's
dresser drawers...
Forget all of the fun you had back when all the
sisters and brothers of Beta Sigma knew your poten-
tial cash value. No more taking you out for a few icy
cold beers— no more of that bogus. That was all over
when you signed the check, didn't you know? Oh,
suuure, just as soon as we've made you feel like a low
caste piece of cow manure for a few months, we'll be
the best of friends, just pay your dues next semester.
Independents; stay away from these loonies for
another week. ..what's a week? If they're your friends
now, then they'll surely be your friends after rush is
over. And you'll be a hundred bucks richer and
probably somewhat less hungover. And— hey — if
you really need a few letters on a freaking pink
sweatshirt, how about the ones that stand for GOD
DAMNED INDEPENDENT?

Your Turn
Rotunda is
"obscene"
lo the Editor:
I regret that it was necessary
for me to disagree with you,
the editor of The Rotunda, on
Monday, September 17, con-
cerning the publication of an
"editorial".
The "editorial" contained a
repetitious number of the same
four letter work that had abso-
lutely nothing to do with the
thoughts expressed. There was
no attempt on my part to
change the thoughts of the
editorial. I assure you that even
though I may disagree with
you, I will uphold your right to
free speech.
Following a similar incident
two years ago, I sent The
Rotunda a copy of the stand-
ard terms and conditions under
which we operate. Item No.

rials furnished to Printer for
productions be considered
obscene, immoral or illegal, in
its sole discretion. Printer re-
serves the right to return those
materials to customer and stop
all production on any job."
On Monday, September 17,
I informed you that I, the prin-
ter, considered the words you
used to be "obscene". I also
informed you that if you elim-
inated or altered these obs-
cene words we would pro-
ceed with the production of
The Rotunda. Instead of ac-
cepting my advice you chose
to accuse me of "censorship".
Under the circumstances I
do not think you would be sat-
isfied to continue dealing with
a printer that you think im-
poses "censorship", and I
assure you that I am not inter-
ested in printing an obscene
publication. Therefore, it is in
the best interest of both par-
ties if you will find another
printer.

Ra-Ra's not
elitist!
To the Editor:
As I read the interview with
Horace Scruggs in the Sep-
tember 18th issue of The
Rotunda, I became very angry
wit the frequent and deroga-
tory use of the word "ra-ra."
Although I respect Mr. Scruggs
and his decision to turn down
the position of Geistmeister, I
do not feel that he has the
right to ciriticize the members
of Geist and all of the other
school spirited people.
Admittedly, there are more
important issues in the world
than Longwood'straditionsand
Oktoberfest Weekend. I per-
sonally, however, feel that I
cannot as an individual put an
end to nuclear proliferation,
stop prejudice, and make the
world safe for democracy. I do
feel that by being a responsi-
ble student, working with var-
ious clubs and organziations,
and taking part in some of
Longwood's traditions that I
can make a difference here.
And isn't that what Geist is all
about — people working to-
gether to make the Longwood
College experience just a little
more exciting and meaningful?
Furthermore, it is unfair to
stereotype all ra-ra 's as elitist
individuals who don't think
about the world around them.
Many people use campus in-
volvement as a means of learn-
ing how to work within the
system to change things and
influence people. Thus, I urge
you to consider a point of
viewother than that of Horace
Scsruggs, because not giving
people credit as individuals is
the sign of a closed mind; and
to quote last week's Rotunda
editorial, "In this world, there
is no room for a closed mind."

Four years later
Professors still wary of "Supply-Side"
by Susan Skorupa
(CPS)— Though starting their
fourth school year since the
advent of "Reaganomics,"
college economics depart-
ments still aren't taking supply-
side economics very seriously.
"Supply side is a political
issue," claims Professor Phillip
Cagan, head of Columbia Uni-
versity's economics depart-
ment.
Cagan, like many of the pro-
fessors interviewed for this arti-
cle, believes, "It will be gone
in a few years."
But some supply-side prop-
onents, notably former South-
ern Cal professor Arthur Laffer,
contend the theory is in fact
making headway in college
classrooms.
"It's being taught every-
where," Laffer says, "and has
become the basic precept of
the (economics) professional
journals."
Laffer was one of the first
advocates of supply-side the-
ory, which forecasts that tax
cuts — not the "pump priming"
of Keynesian economics-
would best stimulate the
economy.
Laffer's ideas attracted a small
coterieof followers, including
a Wall Street Journal editorial-
ist named Jude Wanniski. Wan-
niski's writings eventually at-
tracted converts like Ronald
Reagan, Sen. William Roth and
Rep. Jack Kemp.
All, of course, eventually
helped mold America's cur-
rent supply-side economic
policy. Despite evidence the
policy has helped generate
record levels of economic
growth, many campus econ
departments haven't adjusted
their courses.
"Professors have the luxury
of being able to teach obso-
lete theories longer than gov-
ernment and business can ad-
here to them at the risk of
losing money," Waniskfi scoffs.
The reason it's not taught is
that it's not a very good the-
ory, others counter.
The recent economic rec-
overy is explained better by
traditional economic theory
than by supply-side theory,
says Professor Michael Veseth,
an economist at the University
of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA.
"The big spending cuts,
world recession and large struc-
tural deficits that caused the
recovery have more to do with
old-fashioned Keynesian
pump-priming than with sup-
ply-side side economics," he
insists.
Keynesian theory, hatched
by Britist economist John May-
nard Keynes, has been the
basis of American economic
policy since the 1930s, when
President Franklin Roosevelt
employed it to try to spark a
recovery from the Great
Depression.
Keynes' then-radical advice
was to let the government go
into debt in order to get mo-
ney to inject into the econ-
omy, thus stimulating consu-
mer demand. With consumer
demand up, business would
begin producing goods and
services again to meet the
demand.
When demand and govern-
ment spending sparked infla-
tion, Keynes advised the gov-
ernment to reduce spending.
Until then, most school
taught "classical economics,"
which stressed individual
choicemaking in a society
tending toward full employ-
ment,explains John Sumansky
of the Joint Council on Eco-
nomic Education.
"Studies of the overall econ-
omy and Keynesian theory
eventually didn't burst on the
scene," Sumansky says. "They
were forced on us by the Great
Depression and attempts to
end it."
Years after the theory be-
came government practice,
college economics depart-
ments began teaching it. Since
the publication of Prof. Paul
Samuelson's landmark Keyne-
sian textbook in the late for-
ties, Keynesian economics has
been the standard emphasis in
most departments.
"Colleges are not teaching
supply-side courses," asserts
Vanderbilt economist Profes-
sor John Siegfried. "If it's taught
it's taught as a part of another
course. Strong supply-siders
were talking about it in 1968,
but if didn't have a label."
Siegfried attributes the in-
creased interest to media hype,
not academic study of the
theory.
"It's a very important idea,"
he concedes. "But now there's
a lot of attention in the popular
press. The increase (in empha-
sis) is not in academic areas."
Wanniski attributes cam-
puses' reluctance to teach sup-
ply-side theory on its own to
simple stuffiness. Tenured eco-
nomics professors have a vested
career interest in defending
"outdated" Keynesian theory.
Things will change as young-
er economists successfully use
supply-side theory to predict
the economy's performance,
Wanniski predicts.
"Supply siders," for example,
"are the only ones who pre-
dicted the current economic
boom without inflation," he
asserts.
"Eventually school recognize
who's got the better track
record," he says, "and switch
to supply side."
Because nearly all of the
nation's 65,000 economists are
Keynesians, Wanniski thinks it
may take a generation for col-
lege economics departments
to begin emphasizing supply-
side theory.
For the moment, Wanniski
says he and his peers have to
be content with making the
theory the foundation of U.S.
policy. "The major influence
of supply side have been out-
side colleges, in the political
arena."

Prize winning poet
Gwendolyn Brooks
to appear
Gwendolyn Brooks, Pulitzer
Prize-winning poet, will give
a reading at Longwood Col-
lege on Monday evening,
October 1, at 8 o'clock in the
Gold Room of the Lankford
Building.
Since the publication of her
first volume of poeXry, A Street
in Bronzeville, in 1945, Ms.
Brooks has been acclaimed as
"a most extraordinary writer
and woman."
Her second book of poems,
Annie Allen, was published in
1950 and won her the Pulitzer
Prize. She has received nume-
rous other honors, including
the Shelley Memorial Award
from the Poetry Society of
America and more than 40
honorary doctorates from col-
leges and universities across
the country.
She is Poet Laureate of Illi-
nois, her home state, and sev-
eral schools and a cultural
center there have been named
for her.
Her poems are marked by
direct, bold language that re-
veals the whole range of human
emotions and social follies. She
comments on the black expe-
Gwendolyn Brooks
rience in America with "brutal
anger, wry satire, and visionary
serenity."
Among her books of poetry

Mecca, Family Pictures, and To
Disembark. She also published
a novel, Maud Martha, in 1953
and an autobiography. Report
from Part One, in 1972.
Ms. Brooks has been de-
scribed as a "superby reader of
her own poetry and that of
contemporaries." She has read ,
lectured, and conducted poe-
try seminars and workshops at
colleges and universities
throughout the country.
The public is cordially invited
toattend Ms. Brooks' reading;
there is no admission charge.

Rock/Mime shows reviewed
Keith Berger
by Gary Rader
KEITH BERGER
When I was first assigned to
cover a 'Mime' show, my first
thought was 'dull'. Fortunately,
my first impression was far
from the truth. Keith Berger's
show was very well done
with just the right touch of
humor thrown in. He opens
the show by randomly picking
a student and bringing her on
stage for several minutes, going
through several skits with her.
It works perfectly. Berger suc-
cessfully makes the audience
feel as if they are part of the
show, and in a sense, they are.
On more than one occasion,
students were picked to help
with on stage skits.
Berger's performance of Barry Drake
mime is nearly flawless. His
several skits include a parody
of westerns, "the box" — a man
being incased by a shrinking,
invisible box, and "the night-
mare"—the intense re-en-
actment of a nightmare Keith
went through.
Talking with him after the
show, I found out that he is
returning and would be inter-
ested in conducting a one-day
Mime workshop. Hopefully,
the audience will be bigger
next time. Anyway, if thought
a Mime show was dull — think
again. You will be missing out
on something special.

BARRY DRAKE
On Monday, August 17, 1984
Barry Drake rolled back into
Farmville, once again. He was
enthused as he exclaimed, "I'm
glad to be back in Farmville,
the cultural center of Virginia,
America and the world." He
soothed his audience right
away by letting them know
there were worse places to be
such as "Ferrum" where he
had just left.
Drake's repertoire included
many original pieces along
with some old favorites. Per-
haps the most memorable song
of the evening was Randy
Newman's "Ballad of Science"
or "Let'd Drop the Big One
Now." I have the feeling quite
a few "true-Americans" were
stirred by that particular song.

Long wood RA's: predicaments of power?
by Dennis Carter,
Tim Fitzgerald,
and Lisa Jessup
"R.A.'s are uppcrclassmen
who live in the residence halls.
They are friendly and helpful
and specially trained to help
you with a variety of concerns
in and out of the residence
hall setting."
— The 1984 Longwood Student
Handbook
Resident assistant — the
name should indicate at least
in part a function of their posi-
tion; to assist the students liv-
ing in Longwood Dorms; to
ameliorate old feuds or break
through strained roommate
relations. The possibilities of
such a name would seem to
be endlessly positive for the
student resident-assist-help-
aide-but in reality that's not
always the case.
"Too often they believe they
are policemen instead of as-
sistants" said Mark Holland, a
sophomore at Longwood Col-
lege. "They need to be trained
in a different way, they should
be trying to keep us out of
trouble." Or as one Longwood
College student put it, "R.A.'s
aren't worth a damn."
The reason for the apparent
animosity might have more to
do with the regulations R.A.'s
are required to enforce rather
then the manner in which
African professor teaching at LC
by Kent Booty
Jean Bosco Rwasubutare has
done well for someone who
was born in the countryside of
Rwanda, one of Africa's poor-
est nations.
Rwasubutare is a Fulbright
Scholar teaching at Longwood
College this year. He is a pro-
fessor at the National Univer-
sity of Rwanda, and has been a
translator at international con-
ferences in more than a half-
dozen countries. He has tra-
veled throught Africa, Europe,
iind the United States.
"I'm getting more out of life
than I ever dreamed of," he
sdid. Rwasubutare, 32, is a spe-
cialist in modern African liter-
ature and also has extensive
knowledge of English and
American literature. In Long-
wood's Department of English,
Philosophy and Foreign Lan-
guages, he is teaching "A Sur-
vey of Modern African
! iterature."
i He also is a skilled linguist.
In addition to Kinyarwanda,
I his native tongue, Rwasubu-
! t ire speaks French, English,
! ingald and Swahili. Rwanda
has two official languages: Kin-
yarwanda and French. "I speak
English in the classroom,
French around the campus,
and Kinyarwanda in the mar-
ketplace."
Rwanda, a tiny mountain
republic in east-central Africa,
has been described as a "trop-
ic al Switzerland." Most of its
5.5 million people are farmers
and many also raise livestock.
The country, which had been
part of a Belgian-administered
U.N. trusteeship, became in-
dependent in 1962.
Rwasubutare, who had to
leave his wife and four child-
ren behind, was surprised to
be selected a Fulbright Scholar.
"The post was advertised in
all of black Africa," he said. "I
heard about it from the Amer-
ican Embassy in Rwanda. So I
applied, but I didn't expect to
be chosen. In fact, when I
would go down to Kigali (the
lean Rwasubutare
capital), I didn't even ask about
it at the Embassy. It was a very
big surprise."
Rwasubutare's students in
Rwanda are "immensely inter-
sted" in American and British
literature, specially American
literature. "They like 20th-cen-
tury literature. They're ex-
tremely interested in novels,
which are new to them. What
fascinates them are the
characters."
It is not hard, he said, for
young Africans to relate to
Western literary characters.
"For 12 years, they have been
learning about the Western
World in elementary and sec-
ondary school. They have one
foot in the Western World and
theother in traditional Africa."
Elementary school in Rwan-
daisfreeand compulsory, and
both secondary school and col-
lege are free to those who pass
a difficult government exam,
he said. As the number of
people who atend school has
i ncreased, so has the country's
literacy rate, but it's still low.
The National University of
Rwanda, founded ifn 1963. has
about 1,500 students. It offers
degrees in fields in the human-
ities, the sciences, engineer-
ing, medicine, agronomy, and
economics. Students can earn
bachelor's or master's degrees,
but they must study abroad to
earn a doctorate. "College stu-
dents pay nothing at all. The
government pays for every-
thing."
Rwasubutare has a bache-
lor's degree from the National
University of Rwanda and a
master's from the University
of Ottawa. He has taught at
the National University for
eight years.
He is much in demand as a
translator. Rwasubutare has
translated at conferences in
India, Kenya, Botswana, Tan-
zania, Burundi, Uganda, and
Madagascar. Usually he trans-
lates from English to French,
although sometimes he trans-
lates the other way. "Transla-
tors I talk to always say that
translation into English was
better than the translation into
French."
"Translating is a matter of
experience/' he added. "The
more conferences you attend,
the more you can master the
jargon. And it also depends on
the subject matter. I feel more
at ease if the subject, for ex-
ample, is the humanities rather
than a technical subject."
This is Rwasubutare's third
trip to the U.S. In 1974, as a
public relations officer for the
Rwanda Board of Tourism, he
visited several cities here,
learning howto develop tour-
ism. In 1979, he attended a
traning program in applied lin-
guists at the University of
Pittsburgh.
Modern African literature
hasevolved through three per-
iods, said Rwasubutare. "The
early literature was character-
ized by revolt and protest
against colonialism and assimi-
lation and racism. The Euro-
peans had perpetuated a myth
of the African savage; they
said we weren't capable of
running our affairs."
"With the coming of inde-
pendence in the early 1960s,
African writersdealt with other
themes. They wrote about
such problems as the African
statesconsolidating their unity,
tribal strife, and military
coups."
"The themes in the 1970s
were more universal. They be-
gan to address the problems
of the human predicament.
The human condition, in gen-
eral, is still the dominant theme
today."
they enforce them; and the
Resident Assistants are the first
to notice this disparity. "I think
the visitation rules are ridicu-
lous." said Becky Etzler, R.A.
on the second floor of Main
Cunningham. "I'm not going
to go up to two 21 year olds
who are engaged and sleep-
ing together and say/I'm sorry
you have to leave.' If people
are bright they will be dis-
creet. You know it is happen-
ing. Every R.A. on campus
knows it." Indeed, the major-
ity of Resident Assistants will
'tui n the other way,' when vis-
itation rules are violated and
would just as soon concen-
trate on what they consider to
be their position's true call-
ing which is counseling, "Eve-
rybody knows they can come
and talk to us if they want to
that is what we are here for. I
prefer doing that to being a
desciplinarian — I'm not here
to entertain or babysit peo-
ple," said Joyce Rollandini, an
R.A. in Cox Residence Hall.
Eric Houseknecht also an
R.A. in Cox, sees the R.A. as
someone who intervenesdur-
ing a crisis situation. "I really
can not dictate how life on the
hall should be — students de-
cide that — the majority of stu-
dents on second floor Cox
apparently do not wanta quiet
floor that's their concern. I
have been aware of visitation
violations and have not writ-
ten them up so long as it does
not distrub or violate anyone
else's rights. I see crisis inter-
vention as the R.A.'s most def-
inite function. This summer I
was involved in a situation
wherea drunk student started
picking fights and harassing
other residents. Eventually a
campus police officer became
involved and the drunken in-
dividual punched her (the
officer) in the face and broke
her nose. I went over and
helped to contain the guy."
There are other incidents
where an R.A.'s presence has
made a difference; last summer
on top of one Residence Hall
roof an R. A. talked to a stu-
dent for a half an hour and
eventually convinced him not
to commit suicide. A year ago
in the same hall another R.A.
was confronted with a senior
who had 'lost it'; who was
'kind of drunk and had a 'lot
of problems' and was in the
process of tearing a rocking
chair into splinters. "I got the
other students away from him
and called up people who
might be able to help, and
then I stayed with him and
tried to keep him calm by talk-
ing to him. I was pretty
nervous.
Of course most of an R.A.'s
duty is not nearly so exciting —
nor as easily appreciated.
"People do not see the major-
ity of the work we do: keep-
ing up maintenance around
the dorm halls, or writing up
monthly prorams for the stu-
dents" (programs ranging from
educational activities to social
activities for each hall.) "A lot
of times just our presence has
a good psychological effect
on students — they know there
is an authority figure nearby.
It gives them a scapegoat—
they can say to their friends,
"Yeh, I'd like to do such and
such but the R.A. might catch
me.
But there are always the bad
apples and most of the R.A.'s
admit that for everyone of
their group who takes their
position seriously there are
others who enjoy 'power trip-
ping;' those who write up
people just to be writing them
up or who will use their posi-
tion to become more visible
on campus. Said one R.A. —"it
is sort of a self promoting type
of thing — it gives me the abil-
ity to meet people like Ms.
Mable or Dr. Greenwood who
have helped me with their
recommendations. It's a great
finge benefit of the job."
An like most human institu-
tions, the R.A. job is by no
means free of hypocrisy. One
former R. A. admitted to vio-
lating visitation rules while
writing up students for just
such a violation. "Of course, I
was nevercaught for it because
we were mature and discreet,"
said the R.A. who preferred to
remain anonymous. Mature
and discreet seem to be the
by-words that an R.A. will use
to judge his or her fellow stu-
dents' violations.
Fellow students who may
well wonder if the expense of
the R.A.s' salaries (free room
and board) is worth the direct
costs for the college and the
indirect costs for themselves,
a sum total of $109,275 this
year along, to 'pay' the forty
seven R.A.'s on campus. In
addition thereare the training
expenses for the R.A.'s who
are housed for 12 days prior to
the beginning of fall semester
and are required to spend
anywhere from 2-4 days on
campus after the end of a
semester. Are they worth the
expense? The vote among the
R.A. 'sat least, is split down the
middle. "Without us Long-
wood would be a mad-
house— totally chaotic" or
"Longwood could pretty well
fare for itself without the
R.A.'s"

Sex on campus: confused, conservative
Aside from being generally
in favor of it, what do college
students think about sex? Two
recent studies at Rutgers U.
and the U. of Maryland indi-
cate the dust has settled from
the sexual revolution.
While student attitudes have
become more liberal in many
areas, such as homosexuality
and abortion, other attitudes,
like those toward monogamy
and contraception, remain
moderate to conservative.
Sexual behavior among col-
lege students doesn't seem
much different from that in
the general population.
The Rutgers study, con-
ducted by psychotherapist Pat
Murphy and sociologist Ann
Parelius, found that less than
half the male population was
sexually active, and only 70%
reported have had intercourse
within the last year. Fewer
Rutgers women reported oc-
casional intercouse (67%), but
more (50%) described them-
selves as sexually active than
did the males.
A large percentage of both
groups said they were sexually
monogamous (83% males; 90%
females).
Fear of herpes and AIDS
(Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome) has made 27% of
the males and 29% of the fe-
males change their sexual
practice. Still, medically diag-
nosed venereal disease ap-
peared in 13% of the female
population and 14% of the
males. The Maryland study,
which compared student atti-
tudes in 1973 and 1983, found
that awareness of where to go
for information and abortion,
has dropped from 91% ten
years ago to 75% today.
At Rutgers only 35% of the
sexually active students said
they had an adequate contra-
ceptive method that they al-
ways used. While most stu-
dents said using contraception
eased their minds, 35% of the
males said they would be
"disappointed" if their partner
used a diaphragm, and 25%
said they would be "turned
off." Twenty-seven percent of
the women showed a similar
attitude, saying they would be
turned off if their partner wore
a condom. Interestingly, un-
wanted pregnancies were re-
ported by both sexes in roughly
the same percentages as ven-
eral diseases.
The major findings at Mary-
land were that more students
engage in premarital sex now
than in 1973. Attitudes toward
abortion have become more
liberal, and fewer students feel
homosexuals need psycholog-
ical treatment. However, more
students in 1983 said they
would keep their homosexu-
ality secret than in 1973.
The study also turned up an
increasingly conservative atti-
tude toward what's accepta-
ble sexual behavior for women.
The belief that women should
have sex only with partners
with whom they're involved
emotionally has increased from
42% to 52% in ten years. Also,
significantly more males than
females felt that the availabil-
ity of contraceptives on cam-
pus increased promiscuity.
A recent Johns Hopkins
study of high school students
showed the inconsistency of
some of these attitudes isn't a
product of college life: The
high school students also have
contradictory feelings toward
sex. For example, 60%. of the
girls and 80%, of the boys said
they'd already lost their virgin-
ity. But 83% said that 18 would
be the best age at which to
begin having sexual relations.
That, say the Hopkins re-
searchers, means many of the
young people who've started
having sex wish they hadn't.
One-quarter of the high
schoolers said premarital sex
is, simply, wrong.
Most high schoolers agreed
that having sex without con-
traceptives is foolish, but one-
quarter admitted doing so, in
their most recent sexual
contact.
Campus notes from around the country
Students' names will no
longer be passed along to
appropriate campus religious
groups at the U. of Wis-
consin-Madison. Two local
residents and a student ob-
tained a restraining order
forbidding the UW from
passing along information
on religious preference,
which is voluntarily provided
by students on their regis-
tration forms. The trio claims
the practice violates separa-
tion of church and state. A
hearing was to follow.
• Faculty evaluations should
be open for public perus-
ual, the U. of Texas-Austin
Students' Association is
claiming. Using a ruling by
the state attorney general
that such Information isn't
exempted from the Open
Records Act, the SA asked
the university to release all
student responses to multi-
ple choice questions on the
regular Course-Instructor
Survey. Faculty members
themselves currently release
about 25% of the answers
for the student-funded
course guide.
• Getting good grades can
sometimes bring presents
from Mom and Dad. But the
Southern College of Seventh
Day Adventists, will now give
its own rewards for students
who perform well — travel
credit toward round-trip
tickets to Europe. The cred-
its are awarded on the basis

will continue to vote for that
project even though it is un-
sound, because there are sub-
contractors in theirstates earn-
ing money off of it. It is very
entrenched, Eisenhower
warned about it in 1951.
ROTUNDA: But what can we
do to prevent things like the
"coffee pot" incidents?
HARRISON: By having some-
one like me who is not just a
vote but a voice, (someone
who will) say "c'mon fella's
let's put some integrity Into
this government!" We need
money for job training, we
need money for health care,
we need to take care of our
senior citizens, we need nutri-
tion programs and head/start
programs, and help for farmers.
ROTUNDA: The bombing of
the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon
this week raises the question
of your foreign policy stance
in that region. Does the U.S.
have an obligation to risk
American lives in an effort to
bring stability to Lebanon and
other volatile areas?
HARRISON: If we are In an
area we have to have security
for our kids. What worries me
about this whole situation is
when nuclear weapons get in
the hands of terrorists.
ROTUNDA: But Ideologically,
do you feel that the U.S. hasan
obligation to send our people
to promote peace in these
areas?
HARRISON: No, I did not say
they continue to receive their
funding, they subcontract out
in forty some states. So that
the politicians in those states
that. It is our interest to have
peace. But we have to choose
the methods, the areas and be
sure that we protect our peo-
ple...I'll tell you one thing. I
would not have put our boys

were killed with no bullets in
their guns.
of class standing and grade
point average. They're of-
fered under an agreement
with KLM Royal Dutch Air-
lines, in hopes of boosting
the college's declining
enrollment.
• A change in university
schedule was the prime con-
cern of Virginia Tech students
in the annual Student Gov-
ernment Association survey.
Over 80%) favored starting
their quarter calendar ear-
lier,or shifting toa semester
system. The survey resulted
in Tech's schedule beginning
a week early this year.
• Students who are crowded
three to a room in residence
hall rooms designed for two
people tend to think less of
themselves as people. Aaron
Wilson Hughey of Western
Kentucky U. gave a self-
perception test to one group
of students living in normal
conditionsand second group
living in overcrowded rooms.
The latter group scored sig-
nificantly lower in self-per-
ception, perhaps as the result
of loss of personal space,
theorized Hughey, a WKU
house director.
• Stanford U. law professor
John Kaplan lost his libel suit
against Newsweek On Cam-
pus for its article calling one
of his courses a "gut" or
easy course. A U.S. district
court judge ruled the article
consisted of student opin-
ions and didn't deride his
abilities as a teacher.

Longwood learning environment: What do students say?
by Bill Moore
Ldsf spring, with the coop-
eration of the Office of Aca-
demic Affairs and various fac-
ulty members, I collected sur-
veys from a large and relatively
random cross-section of the
Longwood student body. We
wanted to explore students'
general perceptions of their
Longwood experience, the
learning environment at Long-
wood, and their own academic
concerns. We have now ana-
lyzed a sample of 500 from the
original sample of approxi-
mately 1 ,000, and a more com-
plete report is forthcoming.
For now, I thought I'd share a
few bits as "food for thought."
Generally, the picture is a
positive one. While 78% of
these students said they study
more here than they did in
high school, 65% termed their
high school preparation ade-
quate. 71% say that they can
talk to faculty easily, and 72%
have had little problem choos-
ing a major. 73% of these stu-
dents say that they have had a
positive overall experience at
Longwood, and 69% expect to
graduate from Longwood.
However, there is a dark
side to this picture of Long-
wood as well. 78%) of these
students say they study more
here than they did in high
school, but the average num-
ber of study hours per week is
14.6. Quantity of time is not
the only issue, to be sure;
qualityand efficiency of study-
ing count, too, but neverthe-
less this average still seems low
(especially when compared to
official faculty expectations of
2 hours outside of class for
everyone hour in class!). Else-
where on the survey, 56% of
these students indicated "find-
ing time to study" was a con-
cern for them. We seem to have
a busy student body, but doing
what is the question!
On other fronts, 68% of the
sample said that they have had
problems registering for the
courses they wanted; it's not
clear how much of this signifi-
cant problem is real and how
much is unrealistic expecta-
tions. The same is true for per-
ceptions of academic advis-
ing— 45% say they're satisfied
with their advising, but 40%
say they are dissatisfied. But
what is expected? It reminds
me of Will Rogers' comment
about the weather — everyone
talks about it, but no one does
anything about it. Faculty are
assumed to know automatically
how to provide quality advis-
ing; students are assumed to
know automatically how to
approach and use their advi-
sors most effectively. These
assumptions are clearly faulty
in many cases.
Finally, while 73% of these
students report a positive over-
all experience at Longwood,
when asked if they'd still
choose Longwood if they could
do it again, only 38% agreed,
34% were unsure, and 28%
disagreed. Again, it's not clear
whether such a discrepancy
points to a simple "grass is
greener on the other side"
phenomenon or if it reinfor-
ces earlier data suggesting that
for many students at Long-
wood, their bond with the
institution is tenuous at best.
They're here because they
didn't get into JMU (VCU, etc.,
take your pick), or because
Mom isan alumna, or because
it's inexpensive, and they've
not been able to get beyond
that to see the real value and
worth of the institution, for all
its flaws.
New musical talent to stage MttXWell OpetlS kctwe SCVieS
To Sophia Paulette, being
chosen for the female lead in
the L.C. Players upcoming pro-
duction of The Three Penny
Opera was, at last, the break
she had been waiting for.
Paulette, a junior biology
major, drama minor here at
Longwood, comes to us with a
concrete background in music
and voice. In high school she
wasactive in an acappella choir,
took private voice lessons for
two years, and played in sev-
eral musicals. She also sings in
her church choir, both collec-
tively and solo, and is currently
taking a voice class.
Although Paulette is excited
about her role in The Three
Penny Opera, she admits that
she didn't expect to get the
part. "I had tried out for pre-
vious parts recently here at
Longwood and didn't get them.
I guess I was just better suited
for this role." Paulette had not
planned on even trying out for
this musical, but someone
suggested that she give it
a shot and sing an audition
piece. She agreed, and the
musical director was very
Sophia Paulette
pleased; she got the part. It's
weird," she recalls, "I don't
think they knew I could sing
before this.
While it is Paulette's singing
debut on the Longwood stage,
it is not her debut altogether.
She appeared in a one-act play
her freshman year, but since
then has remained basically in
the background performing
in the technical aspects of the
productions instead of on-
stage; she is also the secretary
for the Longwood Players.
"I've always been sort of in the
background because I'm basi-
cally a shy person," Paulette
stated. "This is the first time
I'vedoneanything really big."

Wednesday evening Sep-
tember 19th marked the open-
ing of Longwood's Faculty
Colloquium Lectures for the
1984-85 school year. Starting
off this year's series was assist-
ant professor of chemistry Dr.
Maurice Maxwell whose lec-
ture was entitled "The Nature
of the3,4-Bond ofThiophene."
Maxwell began by briefly
reviewing the fundamental
concepts of chemical bond-
ing, benzene structure, and
the nature of thiophene for
the benefit of those in the
audience who may have lacked
the proper scientific back-
ground tofully understand his
lecture. Hie then outlined a
series of steps he used (while
working for DuPont) in at-
tempting to synthesize a com-
pound known as 7H-cyclo-
penta (1,2-c: 3,4-c')dithio-
phene. His interest focused on
the 3,4-bond of this com-
pound, the nature of which
had become somewhat con-
troversial as the result of re-
search done by janssen and
dejong of the Netherlands.
Maxwell's explanation of a
second syntheses of a thio-
phene derivative revealed the
true nature of the bond in
question and acted like the
concluding chapter in the
solving of this scientific
mystery.
Through his excellent expla-
nation of chemical fundamen-
tals and skillful use of visual
aids. Maxwell made an intel-
ligible, coherent presentation
which was undoubtedly en-
joyed by all who attended.
Distinguished members of the
audience includedMaxwell's
parents who traveled from his
native state of West Virginia to
witness the evenings activities.
Longwood's colloquium series
will continue on November
14th when Professor Emeritus
of Music John W. Molnar lec-
tures of "Music in Colonial
Williamsburg's Theatre."

Hockey team is 5-3
FARMVILLE, VA— Long-
wood's field hockey team, now
5-3, visits Lynchburg Thursday
in a 3:00 matchup after finish-
ing second behind High Point
in the Longwood Invitational
Tournament Friday-Saturday.
The Lady Lancers blanked
St. Mary's 4-0 and Davidson
6-0 in tournament wins, but
suffered a 1-0 loss to High
Point in their second straight
game Friday afternoon. The
Panthers beat Davidson 2-0,
Mount St. Mary's 1-0 inover-
time and Longwood to win
the title with a 30 record. Fin-
ishing behind Longwood (2-1)
were Mount St. Mary's (1-2)
and Davidson (0-3). In other
action last week Richmond
beat LC 4-0 Tuesday.
Longwood's 6-0 win Satur-
day afternoon marked the first
time since a 6-0 win over Ran-
dolph-Macon in 1982 that the
Lady Lancers had scored six
goals in a game. Junior scoring
leader Sue Groff (Glen Mills,
PA) had two goals in each of
Longwood's wins, while
freshman Traci Strickland (Vir-
ginia Beach) had two in the
win over Davidson.
Groff, who has six goals in
six games, hasaccumulated 23
in three years and is now the
fourth leading career scorer in
Longwood history.

erty Baptist Tournament to be
held Friday through Saturday
followed by an away game

wealth University. The next
home games are Oct. 4 at 6:30

When asked abou the EMC
match, Coach Bonnie Lips-
comb replied: "Karen Moye
team captain, and Susan Mears
played well defensively." She
also stated: "Jackie Smith,
Brenda Bowman, Mears, and
Holly Hearne all served well."
Lipscomb feels that the team
plays well together, but lacks
refinement.
"Right now we are playing
in spurts. We need to be more
consistent." states Lipscomb.

Lack Of Aid Affects
Med Students
OCPP Helps Students
Win Jobs
(CPS) A student
graduating from medical
school this year will pro-
bably already be some
$26,400 in debt, a new
study by the Association of
American Medical Col-
leges (AAMC) says.
Based on its findings,
the AAMC warns that
skyrocketing tuition, along
with financial aid cut-
backs, may soon keep all
but the children of the rich
from attending medical
school.
The concern over med
student debts closely
parallels college financial
aid experts' fears that all
students are falling
dangerously far into debt
to finance their college
educations.
Officials say the recent
restructuring of federal
financial aid programs has
forced many students to
rely on loans, rather than
grants, to pay for college.
And while the debt pro-
blem threatens all college
students, medical students
are becoming especially
vulnerable, according to
the AAMC study.
Tuition has doubled or
tripled at most medical
schools in recent years,
already locking out many
middle - and lower class
students, according to the
study, which was con-
ducted by a panel of 18
medical school deans.
This year, the average
medical school graduate
left school with more than
$26,400 in debts, the study
shows, a 10.8 percent in-
crease over last year.
Over eight percent - one
out of every 12 - left school
owing more than $50,000.
"If this trend continues,"
the study says, "many
students may be denied
the opportunity to study
medicine. A medical
education may become an
opportunity restricted to
the affluent."
Only 12 percent of this
year's med students
graduated without debt,
compared to 14 percent in
1983.

When you graduate from
Longwood chances are
employers will not be hunt-
ing you down and good
jobs will not be falling out
of the sky. Finding a good
job doesn't just happen,
you have to make it hap-
pen. Here at Longwood on
the second floor of S. Ruff-
ner we have the Office of
Career Planning and Place-
ment, who will help you do
just that, find a job.
The OCPP Staff,
directed by Niki Falls and
her assistant, Linda Dove,
is always willing to assist
you. The services of the of-
fice are voluntary. A stu-
dent does not have to take
advantage of it in order to
graduate, therefore too
many students put off the
early effort and being their
own job search only after
they have left school.
Students do not realize
they will need some
guidance or instruction un-
til it is too late.
Seventy-five percent of
the seniors use the office
in someway, however,
Fallis suggests that the
underclaSvS students
should begin to participate
in informational interviews
and programs as early as
possible. The OCPP is not
an employment agency,
they simply teach students
how to use their services
so they can correctly go
about finding a job.
However, many times mat-
ches are made between
students and employers as
a result of using the office.
There is a large variety
of services that the OCPP
makes available to all
students. They provide
career information, assist
students in career deci-
sions through individual
counseling and group
seminars, and provide job
search strategy
workshops, just to name a
few. Fallis "encourages
students to keep up with
the activities of the office
by notices appearing in the
Rotunda, the campus

I had the rare opportunity Sunday evening of drinking
with six of Longwood's nnost conservative students. A tru-
ly weird scene it was, too; what with all these button-down,
khaki people, I felt something like Jesse Jackson might if
he were to be magically zapped into the height of the Farm-
ville Republicans' weekly bridge match. A desparate, evil
situation it was, and I was forced to call on all my powers
of reservation to keep from jumping up on the tables,
beating my chest, and advocating National Health In-
surance at the top of my lungs.
We were gathered for the fVlondale-Reagan debate, and
I suppose that I was invited as the token Democrat,
although I had the distinct impression that two or three of
these freaks wanted to sacrifice me after the gig, in honor
of what they were sure would be Reagan's thorough troun-
cing of Mondale. When I told them that Mondalewasasure
thing, they laughed and began to mutter something about
"four more years" among themselves.
With a half-hour to go before show-time, every one of 'em
was getting hostile, and I tried to melt intothesicklyyellow
walls of the room to avoid provocation of any sort. Lori, the
girl who had invited me in the first place, was out at Par-Bil's
picking up our second case of Budweisers, and the other
five had no sympathy whatsoever for my plight. When Lori
finally got back, all was calm again, and she sat down to
talk about the debate.
"So you don't really think Mondale's got a chance, do
you?" She was about to burst out laughing 'cause she knew
what a spot she'd put me in, leaving me alone with all of
those inebriated crazies.
"Against that geriatric cow?"l asked, my voice full of
disgust. "Mondalecan't lose ... Did Kennedy have a chance
against Nixon? Can Superman save Lois Lane? Is baseball
American?" Themes of patriotism raced through my brain
. . .President Walter Mondale . . . New direction for America.
Wow.
Naturally, Lori didn't agree with me, and she was none
too happy a minute later when I said that Reagan was a rav-
ing lunatic whose chief desire -and probably talent- was to
sing "This Land is Your Land" arm-in-arm with Smokey the
Bear on a thirty-second TV spot. However, she remained
calm until the beginning of the debate.
I
Mondale-Reagan Debate
Shows Difference
What really bugged me at the beginning wasold Barba
Walters; she was just too annoying, though she did get
a good shot for America's journalists. Can't they g
somebody like Cronkite for these things? Anyway, once c
the intros and compliments were done with, everyone g
settled for a real hoe-down. Lori brought out a cold six-pac
and we watched as Reagan slithered his way through h
first question.
He was babbling something about the reason \
couldn't get a balanced budget by 1983, like he promise
when the camera first cut to Mondale, who was chucklir
over Reagan's gibberish.
"YEAH-all right!-go, Fritz, go!!" I screamed as W
camera cut back to the President. Before my elation Wc
over, a half-full can of Budweiser whizzed by my ear ar
crashed into the coffee table. I ducked and took cov
behind a giant bean-bag frog of Lori's.
When Mondale finally got his first question, his TV a
dience in Louisville, where the debate was held, was goir
wild when he spoke: "I am not going to cut out of soci
security, medicare [or] student assistance . . ." Whereupc
Denice, Lori's roommate, hollered some nasty words at tl^
TV screen and turned around to snarl at me. Safely behir
the giant frog, I said nothing.
As the debate went on, I began to realize that somethir
was really strange: while Reagan, the media-proclaime
'TV President', was often edgy and dull (remarkably \\V
Carter in the '80 debates), Mondale seemed full of vigc
unlike the Mondale I thought would show up for the debat
He had crawled out of his shell and taken on a new vitalit
He took the upper hand early, and he used a trick (
Reagan's, saying that, when he thought of the Presiden
hewas"reminded a little bit of what Will Rogers once sai
about Herbert Hoover, 'it's not what he doesn't know the
bothers me . . . it's what he knows for sure that just ain
so.
Just as soon as he said that, of course, I leaped for covf
as the beer cans came flying. "Tell 'em Fritz!" I yelled a
the room broke into a frenzy.
A minute later, though, everyone settled down to he
Reagan speak: "I have instructed my cabinet members e-
staff that [on any issue which comes before me], they a
not to bring up any of the political ramificationsthat mig
surround the issue. I don't want to hear them . . ." Amic
flurry of exaltations which reminded me of a Baptist pray
meeting, I began to lose control. Tears were rolling dov
my face and I was in hysterics on the floor. I didn't even g
a word in before Lori dropped the frog on my head.
Throughout the ninety-minute debate, Reagan tried
take the thunder back from Mondale, but he was never re.
ly able to do it. "I wasn't going to say this ... but ... the
you go again," he exclaimed using the same phrase whic
he has used to his advantage in debating Carter fourye^
ago. This time, however, it wasn't successful.
Reagan's speeches, though they were at time dramati
quite often sounded hollow. Mondale successfully debate
his viewpoints such as those on abortion, whereas Reagi
appeared to be the narrow-minded President which ;
many of his actions in office have proven him to be. Tf
President was unable to successfully defend his party
platform plank which would require federal judges
publicly acknowledge their respect for the 'sanctity
human life'. In general, the President wasn't able to brir
himself across as the gun-slinging tough guy we 'know' *
is. Lori even agreed on that point, but the rest of the groi
wasn't able to admit it.
No one could quite figure out what happened to Walt
Mondale on Sunday night. It doesn't even matter reall
What's important is that for the first time, he was able
strongly convey the strength of his convictions and \\
need for the utilization of those convictions. He shed \\
image of the dull, former vice-president, and he tookonti
image of a tough, strong-minded candidate who wou
make an intelligent Chief Executive.
Lori, however, wasn't in complete agreement when I to
her that Mondale would be our next president. She sa
something to one of her friends, and, before I knew it, I wj
running like a madman with six staunch conservative
close at my heels. -MJ/'

Rotunda Advisor
Comments
Greek /Independence
Weighed
To The Editor:
In recent days, I've been
asked why I don't keep a
tighter rein on the college
paper. There are a number
of reasons. The most im-
portant is that it's not my
job. I'm forbidden by
tradecraft to edit copy, and
by law to censor it, even
were I inclined to do so,
which I'm not.
Let it be said that no
member of the administra-
tion has so much as hinted
that I should.
But let it be added that
the paper has had four ad-
visors in four semesters.
This is not the way to
establish the continuity
any publication needs.
Such a debacle may be laid
directly at the door of the
administration, which two
years ago responded to
another controversy in an
incoherent manner whose
ill-considered conse-
quences are with us yet.
This feckless game of
musical chairs - which
featured off-campus ad-
visors rendering ill-focused
advise -- had its origins in
the year I spent on leave,
when the Rotunda (accor-
ding to whom you listen
to), either fulfilled its repor-
torial mandate with
agressive elan or disgrac-
ed itself with gutter jour-
nalism. I'm too far from the
facts to know them, but I
do know that for the past
12 months I've been kept
spinning like a top while
various deans and vice-
presidents took turns re-
hiring and re-firing me as
soon as one got wind of
what another was up to.
Call it a salutary lesson in
realpoliitik, in which the
was between candor and
caution is ever unequal.
Despite all this, the
paper thrives -- a tribute to
its student staff, who have
done their work while all
too many of its elders were
able even to get a grip on
theirs.
Sincerely,
W.C. Woods
Advisor,

Dear Editor:
This is written in res-
poonse to the letter Check
Ebbetts, and the events
surrounding the pointless
debate concerning the
merit of Longwood Greek
Organizations. Surely the
letter was just an angry at-
tempt or possible a
humorous attempt to
reciprocate on the editorial
written by Jeff Abernathy.
The editorial written by
Abernathy sparked a
backlash of pro-Greek sen-
timent expressed on the
October 2 Rotunda letters
page. This was duly ex-
pected, by Ebbetts' article
does little more than to
feed the fire. Being an m-
dependent and not af-
fliated with the Rotunda I
thought I might humbly de-
fend Independents while
offering a moderate ra-
tionalization of the
debated non-issue.
In contrast to Chuck I
don't believe Greek
Organizations at
Longwood can truly be
equated with any form of
ancient Greek culture. The
only thing Hellenic about
the local Greeks are the let-
ters they wear on their
assorted garments. After a
quick history of the orgins
of Fraternities we are in-

Disagreement With Last Week's Letter
To the Editor:
This letter is in response
to the editorial written by a
certain Miss Linda B.
Chamber in the October
2nd. edition of the Rotun-
da. Miss Chamber made
several comments on sub-
jects that I wish to discuss
and has given me reason
to think on those subjects
quite carefully. I plan to go
over her letter here in the
hope that my observations
may give her some reason
to re-think her positions.
I first wish to comment
on her assumption that on-
ly those who have been
"born again" are true
Christians. Miss Chamber,
true Christians have no
need to be "born again"
because they are already
Christians. Miss Chamber,
a Christian is defined as "a
person professing belief in
Jesus as the Christ, or in
the religion based on the
teachings of Jesus" (from
Webster's New World Dic-
tionary). I wonder what you
were before you were
"born again"?
I now would like to say a
few words concerning
homosexuality. Miss
Chamber has given us
many fine examples of
Biblical condemnation of
homosexuality and I must
say that I am impressed
with her learning, however,
I wish to further her educa-
tion in the religion that she
has been "born again" in-
to. Miss Chamber, a true
Christian would not fight a
person's desire to be a
homosexual. A true Chris-
tian would pray for his/her
soul not in the hope that
the person's homosexuali-
ty will not spread. A true
Christian would accept the
person as he/she is and try
to understand him/her. A
true Christian is a person
who helps others with pro-
blems, not a person who
creates them. Homosex-
uality is not a disease Miss
Chamber, it i« a willful
choice made by people
who prefer their own sex to
the opposite sex.
Homosexuals are not living
in an adominable lifestyle,
they are living in THEIR
lifestyle. A true Christian
would know this and would
try to make their life as
easy as possible because
they are persecuted by
people like yourself. You
ask why they are having so
much trouble "coming out
of the closet" and I would
answer you by saying that
it is people like you, with
the misguided notion that
they have the right to make
people conform to their
own idea of what is right,
that is keeping the
homosexual in the closet.
You, Miss Chamber, and
those who think like you do
are the ones who are keep-
ing the homosexual from
becoming an open part of
society. Homosexuals are
people. Miss Chamber, and
deserved to be treated with
respect. They have made
the choice to be who they
are and they will be respon-
sible to GOD for that
choice. NOBODY, here on
earth, has the right to treat
them like condemned peo-
ple because only GOD can
condemn and nobody here
should presume to judge
others for HIM. You should
go back and study the text
of your new religion (the Bi-
ble) and read what it has to
say about people who
make judgement on others
and what it says about self-
rightousness, it may do
you some good.
I also wish to comment
on the last part of her let-
ter concerning "THE LET-
TER". Why would you ever
thank GOD for censorship?
Freedom of the press is
one of our Constitional
rights and probably our
most important right next
to freedom of speech. Mr.
Wall did not show good
judgement in trying to cen-
sure that article. Mr. Wall
decided that he was above
the law and had the power
to delete items from that
article that he had no right
to delete. If we had allow-
f.ont pg A, (,ol 'A
formed that Fraternities
can help you through the
"best times of your life."
This, only happens after
you mystically discover the
"direct advantages" that
Ebbets forgot to list.
For someone who is
"socially unskilled, cultur-
ally underdeveloped," has
an "inbred fear of rejec-
tion" and is a known "God
damned Idiot" this letter by
defintion should be phy-
siologically impossible.
The facts are that the
Greeks need money to sur-
vive, and to become a full-
member of the organiza-
tion must be accomplished
monetarily. Some, Greek
organizations seem more
prestigious than others,
and seem more dis-
criminatory in value
judgements made on peo-
ple's lifestyles and ap-
pearances. Whatever the
case if you have the money
and want to join, chances
are that you won't have
much difficulty in finding a
group to accept you. Only
a precious few ever get
blackballed or quit once
they join.
Ebbetts' mumbo - jumbo
about "inbred fear of rejec-
tion" really amused me. I
suppose you can conquer
the fear by simply supply-
ing your favorite bunch of
guys or gals with a few
bills. I submit that he has
the "rejection theory"
backwards. It would seem
that people who join Greek
Organizations because
their friends already have,
need to feel secure in a
group, or just need a party
gang are people posses-
sion elements of the fear of
rejection.
Abernathy slapped the
Greeks on campus, and we
all expected a reciprocal
swing. Ebbetts responded
not by repudiating Aber-
nathy, but by reckless ac-
cusations against the In-
dependent Student Body.
Behind this non-issue is
the principle that I thought
was self-evident: Anyone
may join, but no one has
to. Some of the basic
precepts associated with
the founding of this coun-
try were based on prin-
ciples supporting in-
dividualism and freedom of
choice. As long as the
Greeks don't interfere with
my immuntable natural
rights, then everything is
hunky-dory. Nothing is go-
ing to change the fact that
Greeks have long-standmg
traditions at colleges all
over this nation, Longwood
being no exception. Let's
stop beating a dead horse.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, October 9, 1984
A Modest Solution - Commentary
by Eric T. Houseknecht
This being an election
year, discussions all over
campus, and for that fact
all over the country, have
turned to politics and to-
day's "issues" as
thousands of otherwise
normal students feign
political awareness and
genuine concern for the
state of our nation. Ques-
tions are being raised as to
how well President Reagan
can meet the needs of our
citizesn, especially owing
to his steadfast refusal to
raise taxes. Mr. Reagan's
tax reforms are being
heavily criticized by the
Democrats as favoring the
right and doing nothing to
help the needy. Many of to-
day's more outspoken
champions of democracy
seem to feel that the poor
need more tax breaks,
while the rich, so often
blessed with loopholes,
need to be taxes more
heavily. However, the
plight of the poor extends
far beyond material mat-
ters. In order to find an ap-
propriate solution to the
tax problem, let us take a
broader look at the dilema
of the poor.
The poor are, for the
most part, an unhappy lot.
Often cold, invariably short
of cash, frequently hungry,
they unquestionably have
grounds for complaint and
few would dispute this. In
general, the poor are
deprived of most of the
things that comprise that
which is called "the good
life" or "the American
standard of living". This
state of affairs has been
duly noted by both the
government and the
governed, and much as
been done in an attempt to
alleviate the situation.
Wherever a lack has been
perceived a solution has
been proposed. No
money? Welfare. No apart-
ment? Public housing. No
breakfast? Food stamps.
It's obvious that the poor
need help. The unpoor are
willing to help them - some
excessively so.
For those unpoor ge-
nuinely dedicated to good
works, the non-material
problems of the poor are
obvious. I should like to
make it immediately clear
that I am not about to ex-
pound on the universal
human need for love and
affection. As far as I can
tell, the poor get all the
love and affection they can
possibly handle. The con-
cept of an unsuitable mar-
riage obviously started
somewhere.
No, I am speaking here
of needs of a social nature.
In order that you might
gain a better understand-
ing of this matter, I offer by
way of illustration an im-
aginary dinner party given
by a member of the unpoor
for his peers, you among
them. You choose to ac-
company you a needy
friend. He lacks the proper
attire. You accomadate
him from your own war-
drobe. Your host provides
ample food and drink. Your
friend is momentarily hap-
py. He feels unpoor, you
feel generous, your host
feels gracious, good will
abounds. For just an ins-
tant, you toy with the idea
that poverty could be com-
pletely eradicated by the
simple act of including the
poor in the dinner plans of
the unpoor. Coffee is serv-
ed. The talk becomes
earnest. The conversation,
as is its wont, turns to tax
problems.
It is at this point, I
assure you, that as far as
the poor person on your
left is concerned, the par-
ty is over. Suddenly he
feels poor again. Worse
than poor- left out. He has
not tax problems. And
under the present system
he will remain in this
degrading position for the
rest of his poverty. As long
as he is poor he will be
without tax problems, and
as long as he is without tax
problems, let us not forget,
he will also be without tax
benefits. And they call this
a democracy. A de-
mocracy, when one man is
in a fifty percent bracket
and his dinner companion
is in no bracket at all. It
isn't enough that a man
has no food, no clothing,
no roof over his head. No,
he also has no accountant,
no investment lawyer, no
deductions, no loopholes,
and very likely no receipts.
This is, of course, un-
conscionable, and now
that you hvae been appris-
ed of the situation, it is un-
thinkable that it go on one
minute longer - certainly
not if we call our society an
equitable one. Fortunately,
there is a solution to this
problem.
Tax the poor. Heavily.
No halfway measures. No
crumbs from rich man's
table. I mean tax. Fifty per-
cent bracket, property,
capital gains, inheritance -
the works.
The point many will be
quick to raise is that the

fective method of self-
censorship that has ever
been devised; you can turn
the page. Why don't you try
that next time. Censorship
is an evil, just as assured-
ly as murder and rape are
evil. Censorship deprives
the population the oppor-
tunity to decide issues
themselves. Some people
call for censorship of
'obscene' material and
they truly believe that it
should be banned, but who
is to say what is 'obscene'?
Would you say that pic-
tures of naked women
were obscene? If the
answer is yes, and you
somehow managed to get
all pictures of naked
women banned did you
know that you would have
to ban paintings too, and
sculptures as well. Some
of the greatest artworks
would be banned all
because you thought they
were obscene. What is
obscene to one person is
beauty to others. That is
just an example but the
same principle applies to
any other mode of com-
munication and the same
arguments apply against
any form of censorship.
Besides, we could never all
agree on who the censor
would be. Some would
want priests others would
want teachers and still
others would want
somebody else. If we all
agreed on what material
we wanted censored there
would be no need for cen-
sorship because there
would be no market for the
material. As long as any
type of material has a
market it should be allow-
ed to be published. I
believe with all my heart
the American people will
never allow any form of
censureship to be imposed
upon them. I hope and pray
that people who think that
censureship is the answer
to the problems that they
see in the media will see
the error of they ways
before it is to late.
I know that this letter
will not make people stop
persecuting homosexuals
and I know that this letter
will not make the cen-
sureship advocates come
to their senses but at least
I hope that it will make
them think about it a little.
I sure hope so.

Play Sponsored By Social
Work Department
On October 18, 1984, the
Social Work Department is
sponsoring a play entitled
"Why Can't I Drink?" This
play will be presented by
the Family Service of Cen-
tral Virginia. The perfor-
mance will take place in
the Wynn Building
Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. The
admission is free for
everyone.
"Why Can't I Drink?" is
a play that touches on
such problems as peer
pressure, stress, and the
other problems related to
drinking. The play will also
illustrate the symptoms of
alcoholism in young
people.
After the play a discus-
sion led by a trained
spokesman for the agency
will take place. At this time
the audience will have a
chance to comment on the
ideas presented in the
play. Everyone is invited to
attend this production and
take part in the discussion
to follow.
Trading Places: A Review
by Tim Fitzgerald
October 4-6, the
Longwood Student Union
presented the movie
Trading Places. This
movie, which stars Eddie
Murphey, Dan Akaroyd,
and Jamie Lee Curtis, was
shown at 7:00 and 9:00
each night. Judging from
the reactions of the sell-
out crowd on Thursday,
Trading Places was a big
success at Longwood.
In talking with people
after the show, I found that
the majority of the people
in attendance had already
seen the movie before.
Most of them also felt that
the show was as good the
second time as it was the
first time.
It was obvious that most
of the people came to see
Eddie Murphey. As usual,
Murphey did not disap-
point his audience. He kept
the audience laughing
throughout the entire
show. To put it sinnply,
Murphey was his normal,
brilliant self.
In this movie, Dan
Akaroyd proved that his ac-
ting career can continue
without John Belushi.
Although overshadowed by
Murphev. Akaroyd also
played an important part in
the success of this movie.
Any Hampden-Sydney stu-
dent would be proud of
Akaroyd's attempt to por-
tray an Ivey League
graduate.
The only negative com-
ment that I heard about the
movie pertained to Jamie
Lee Curtis. I overheard one
girl asking a friend, "Why
does Jamie Lee Curtis
take her clothes off in
every other scene?" I have
to agree with her comment
that "she could probably
be a good actress if she
Springsteen Review
by Kevin Sneed
Bruce Springsteen is
one of rock's most popular
acts. His latest effort. Born
in the U.S.A., is the typical
Springsteen album. This
work fails because it lacks
originality. It reinterates
the same message he has
been attempting to relay
over the years.
To effectively analyze a
Springsteen album, one
must separate the artist
from the entertainer. Bruce
is unquestionably one of
rock's greatest performers.
His concerts lasts from
four to five hours, and the
Boss literally wears the au-
dience out. Unfortunately,
his album does not reflect
his ability to perform. His
much is extremely
reminescent of that of
Mitch Ryder and the
Detroit Wheels. Bruce's
much and style were a
welcome relief from the
clone bands that existed
ten years ago. Springsteen
has not progressed ar-
tistically; he has produced
the same music and lyrics
album after album.
Bruce attempts to ex-
emplify unflorified lives of
ordinary people in Born in
the U.S.A. The range of his
songs go from that of a
Vietnam Vet to steel work-
ing towns. Ten years ago,
he was writing the same
sentiments. I do not intend
to downgrade Mr. Springs-
teen, but he has found a
formula which is suc-
cessful. Springsteen's lack
of originality tarnishes his
image as an artist. If the
Boss can locate the ar-
tistic integrity he possess-
ed ten years ago, then he
will be remembered as one
of rock's all-time greats, if
not he will be doomed to a
life performing in the Las
Vegas Hilton.
Rescue Squad
Needs Students
The Prince Edward
Volunteer Rescue Squad is
seeking volunteers who
have a desire to help the
Farmville community. Any
person who is willing to be
on call for approximately
12 hours each week is en-
couraged to apply for
membership. Any students
who are already experienc-
ed as Emergency Medical
Technicians or above are
encouraged to volunteer.
The Prince Edward
Volunteer Rescue Squad is
currently comprised of 22
active members. Not only
are calls answered in
Farmville and Prince Ed-
ward County, but also in
parts of Cumberland,
Buckingham and Charlotte
Counties. While there are
seven fire departments
who routinely answer calls
in these areas, there is on-
ly one rescue squad. It
responds to an average of
90 calls per month.
This is an excellent way
to meet other people and
to become more involved
in what can be your com-
munity. For information
contact Roy Williams at
Southside Community
Hospital at 392-8811, ex-
tension 187.

The "sleeper" in this pic-
ture was Coleman, the
butler. His dry, hidden
humor contrasted with the
direct, straight forward
humor of Murphey and
Akaroyd for a pleasant
variation of change of
pace.
Although at times the
movie was exagerated and
unrealistic, it was still very
entertaining and well worth
the one dollar admission
fee. Once again the Stu-
dent Union has done an ex-
cellent job in providing the
students with a quality
movie at a very reasonable
price.
The next movie to be
presented by SUN will be
Pink Floyd's The Wall on
November 8th and 9th.

munity when a business
home-based elsewhere
demonstrates that it is a
community partner and
supporter," said Donald

Institutional Advancement
at Longwood. "Franchise
Enterprises is an outstan-
ding community partner."

Sorority
Is Held
Sorority Rush 1984 was
a great success, with 79
young women walking on
Sunday, September 30.
Lead by Donna Eason of
Kappa Delta Sorority and
Ann Brownson, the
Panhellenic Advisor, Rush
came in with a boom! Star-
ting off with Open House
Parties on Sunday,
September 23 and Monday,
September 24, the Rushees
were given their first glimp-
se of each of the sororities.
After a free night on Tues-
day, the 25th, Wednesday
Ski Parties were held and
also on Thursday. Each
sorority here tried to show

to spport those activities
they find valuable to
them."
Due to the few number
of employers that visit
Longwood, Fallis and Dove
go to them. The main goals
of their visits is to give
employers information
about Longwood students,
statistics of past
graduates and making
them aware of what
Longwood College has to
offer. They also invite
employers to visit our cam-
pus and to meet those in-
terested. Not only does the
staff go to the employers
and bring them back, but
they also are responsible
for taking the students to
employers. On Wednes-
day, November 14, the
OCPP will provide
transportation to Lyn-
chburg for "Challenge '85",
a career fair for liberal arts
majors.
The OCPP keeps in
touch with students who
have graduated as well. A
"follow-up" of Longwood
grads is designed with
detailed statistics and
reports concerning the
employment of former
students.
Another service of the
office is the credential file,
which is a systematic col-
lection of recommenda-
tions/references, a per-
sonal data sheet, a
transcript and a resume.
These documents and in-
formation are used to sup-
port a candidate's applica-
tion. The file will be sent to
prospective employers
upon request or it may also
be used for entry to
graduate school.
Most important, par-
ticipation in the programs
the Rushees what their
sorority was like. On Satur-
day, the 29th, Theme par-
ties were held. At these
parties the Rushees were
given even more informa-
tion about the sororities on
the morning of Sunday tfie
30th the mood was very
sentimental as the
sororities presented their
Inspirationals. Then on
Sunday evening, in spite of
rain, many damp spec-
tators witnessed Rush
1984's climax as the
festivities of walk com-
menced and 79 Longwood
women were welcomed in-
to their new sisterhoods.

COMMENTARY
- cont from page 4
poor lack the means to be
taxed. However, I counter
by saying that an inability
to accept this solution is a
matter of scale, of
relativity.
The fifty percent con-
cept is the easiest to
grasp, for it should be quite
apparent to all that
everyone has half, the poor
included. If someone
makes as little as $2,000 a
year, this still leaves him
$1,000 for income taxes.
Not a fortune certainly, but
stil nothing to sneeze at.
The problem some may
see with property taxes is
undoubtedly conceptual.
That is their conception of
property very likely tends
toward the fallow acreage,
midtown real estate, prin-
cipal residence sort of
thing. After all, property
merely means ownership;
that which one owns is
one's property. Therefore
property taxes could - and
should - easily be levied
against the property of the
poor. Equal freedom, equal
responsibility. So no more
free rides for hot plates,
vinyl outerwear, or electric
space heaters.
Taxing the poor for their
capital gains may be an ar-
duous task but isn't an in-
surmountable one. Admit-
tedly, it probably won't
come up that often, but the
poor would be well advised
not to try selling off any lef-
tover Spam Bake without
reporting it.
Inheritance is another
tricky concept and while to
some the word "inherit"
may conjure up images of
venerable country estates
and square-cut emeralds,
to others - i.e., the poor -
quite different visions
spring to mind. A hand-me-
down pair of Dacron slacks
is, of course, no square-cut
emerald, but then again,
one thousand dollars is, as
I believe I mentioned in
point number one, not a
fortune.
MED
cont
STUDENTS
from front page
Minority students par-
ticularly are being locked
out of the medical field by
soaring tuitions and
dwindling scholarship
funds, AAf\/IC officials say.
Since 1974, the report
points out, the number of
minority students attend-
ing medical schools has
stalled at 8.3 percent of
total enrollment.
Many lower-income and
minority students who
would otherwise enter
medical school are opting
for less-costly business,
chemistry, and biology
degrees that will bring
them high-paying jobs
without a huge debt obliga-
tion, the medical dean
reports.
And cutbacks in federal
student aid for med
students promises to ex-
acerbate the debt problem,
says AAMC spokesman
Robert Boerner.
The main scholarship
program for medical
students, the National
Health Services Corps
(NHSC) awards, "is being
cut radically and virtually
phased out by the Reagan

administration," Boerner
says.
"There will be fewer than
200 (NHSC) awards annual-
ly now," he says, "com-
pared to about 1200 four or
five years ago when the
program was at its peak."
Even one of Ronald
Reagan's personal physi-
cians has rebuked the
president for the cuts in
aid to medical students.
Programs such as the
NHSC awards "Have
enabled people with little
resources to reach their
full potential," says Dr.
James Giordano, one of
the physicians who
operated on Reagan when
he was shot three years
ago.
Including himself as one
of the students who was
helped by federal
assistance programs, Gior-
dano hopes Reagan "will
not abandon the commit-
ment that has meant so
much to me and my
family."

The Rotunda Interviews: Sally Shreir
Editor's Note: hi the second
of The Rotunda iutervieivs,
Sally Shreir comments on her
own views of U. S. politics and
feminism, as well as issues
relating to her Wednesday
evening speech, entitled
"Totalitarianism: Marx's
Legacy Or The Kremlin's
Heresy".
Shcir is managing editor of
The Salisbury Review, a
leading British iournal of
political opinion. She was at
Longwood last week on a
speaking tow.
Rotunda: There is a
polarization of views in the
political field in the U.S.
anyway of the neo-left and
the neo-conservatives -
What do you think of the
conservative trend here? Is
it a positive force in the
country?
Shreir: Yes, I have to say
yes. . . I'm going to get in-
to nny role now and play it.
As far as I can see it, it's
quite different from in Bri-
tain. In Britain conser-
vatism as an intellectual
force is only just taking off
now whereas here it seems
to be something that's
been going on maybe since
the Fifties . . . it's been
quite respectable to call
yourself an intellectual
Search For A New Director
Of Student Activities
by Barrett Baker
The search for the new
Director of Student Ac-
tivities, which is in the pro-
cess of beginning, is
geared to involve as much
student participation as
possible.
"We want to get as
much input on the ap-
plicants as we can," says
Phillis Mable, Vice-
President of Student Af-
fairs, "and we want the ap-
plicants to get a lot of stu-
dent exposure - it's a two
way thing. After all," she
continues, "these people
will be working for the
students and if the
students aren't happy with
woever gets hired, then the
effort won't be much of a
success."
Barb Gorski, who is cur-
rently the Interim Director
of Student Activities and
involved with screening ap-
plicants for the job, feels
very good about the way
the project Is being handl-
ed. "This is one of the most
organized projects
around," she states, "and
we've got a good bunch of
candidates to choose
from. We are in the posi-
tion to be very picky about
the person we choose."
The process, which
begins with a screening
committee consisting of
Colleen Brenan, S-UN
President, Moffett Evans,
Technical Director of the
Speech and Dramatic Arts
Department, Ann White,
Lankford Building
Manager, Randy Chittum,
President of Student
Government, and Sophia
Pollet, Chair of the Series
for the Performing Arts,
along with Gorski, is
designed to eliminate
those applicants who don't
meet the minimum re-
quirements of candidacy.
As soon as this process
is completed, the remain-
ing applicants will be in-
vited to come to Longwood
for interviews. The inter-
views, which are expected
to run for about ^V2 days
per applicant, are to be
conducted by various com-
mittees representing Stu-
dent Activities, Employees
of Student Union, and Stu-
dent Leaders directly in-
volved with S-UN.
"A lot of work has gone
into this project in order to
control the element of bias
and to get 'as many
students involved as we
can," adds Gorski. "I think
this is a great opportunity
for students to discuss
what they want in the new
director and to gain inter-
viewing skills that can be
used after they graduate."
Upon the completion of
the interviews, the screen-
ing committee will then
review the remaining ap-
plicants to make recom-
mendations to Phyllis
Mabel, who will make the
final decision on who will
be hired. The new director
will be expected to begin
operations by January 1,
1985.
Among other things, the
Student Activities Program
supports students in their
academic preparation and
achievement through
educational, social,
cultural, and leadership
programming for the col-
lege community: registra-
tion and coordination of
student organizations; and
development of policies af-
fecting the Student Union
and Activities Program.
With the addition of a
new director, the Student
Union itself will begin to
expand. Defined commit-
tees will be formed dealing
with different activities
(lectures, films, concerts,
mixers, etc.). This is
designed to get more peo-
ple involved in the S-UN
and to give more power
adn authority to those
people.
"The students at
Longwood have not been
given enough credit as to
their ability." states Gor-
ski. "I've had to put a lot of
trust in them and they
never let me down.
Whoever the new director
is will have a real talented
and great team of people
to work with."
conservative. Whereas In
Britain, that's only now the
case. Up until the last few
years the intellectual
establishment was entirely
dominated by the left, and
there was a left wing con-
sensus in all spheres of
left really whereas to be a
liberal in Britain is quite a
lot in common in some
spheres anyway between
conservatives and liberals
as opposed to the labor
party or the socialist party

education and culture.
That's beginning to change
now, partly because we've
got a very distinctively con-
servative government and
partly because I think peo-
ple do think the left is
subverting some of our in-
stitutions and that educa-
tion is no longer the sort of
liberal humane kind that
conservatives and indeed
liberals in Britain would
like to see. You have to
make the distinction you
see between here, where to
be a libera! is to be on the
the same -- not by any
means all. So, although the
liberal party never gets in-
to power in Britain all
politics is built on a foun-
dation of liberalism and so
to be a liberal isn't to be
left. You might not agree
with them. You might not
agree with their philosophy
of the human nature of in-
stituions. But it's far less
one side of a polarized
situation as it Is here,
where nobody as far as I
can see calls themself

We, the People
D
anny Ross hollered a few times at eleven
o'clock last Friday night. He was standing
about twenty-five feet form the tall con-
crete walls of the State Penitentiary in Richmond. Dan-
ny waved his rebel flag, screamed some more, and slap-
ped his buddy on the back. His eyes were sparkling, and
a smile was poking out from the sides of a can as he
guzzled his last Budweiser. Linwood Briley was dead.
Across the street, and closer to the Penitentiary,
Susan Jackson crossed herself as tears fell down her
dark brown cheeks. Sobbing, she felt a hand on her
shoulder as she kneeled to the sidewalk. Voices sur-
rounded her in support. They were singing "Amazing
Grace". Linwood Briley was dead.
An hour earlier at 10:15 on Friday, October 12, 1984,
a Richmond reporter walked up and down Belvedere
Street, some two hundred feet from the cell where Briley
waited to die. The crowd on Belvedere was swelling, a
thousand strong already. At the corner of Belvedere and
Spring Street, Susan Jackson and others from the black
community gathered, praying silently. Further down
Belvedere, protestors of the death penalty burned white
candles. Some carried signs proclaiming their protest:
"To execute a murderer is simply to adopt his point of
view", "Thou shalt not kill" and others. On the opposite
side of Belvedere, David Ross stood drinking beer with
other white residents of Richmond's Oregon Hill subdivi-
sion. The signs they carried were different: "Have pity
on Linwood Briley. Reduce the voltage to 220", "An Eye
for an Eye". An elderly white woman stood silten under
a lamp post holding a sign which read "Kill the Negroe".
She told the reporter that she'd received two death
threats.
The reporter, a Richmond native, walked through the
crowd talking to both supporters and protestors. A friend
of David Ross' said "I'd kill him myself . . . they ought
to hang him by the balls." He was wearing patched
Levi's, a black Molly Hatchett T-shirt and a jean jack with
a skull and crossbones embroidered on the back. "I'd
kill him myself," he repeated.
People around him nodded in agreement, "Anybody
against the Death Penalty should go m there and hold
Linwood's hand when they throw the switch," said a
woman with long brown hair and a beautiful smile. She
was about thirty years old, the same age as Briley. It was
10:35.
On the other side of the street, as the clock raced on,
protestors held hands, sang the gospel and talked ever-
so-quietly among themselves, as if the slightest noise
would disturb the last-minute efforts of Briley's lawyers.
At 10:50, the reporter asked one protestor what he
thought of Briley's chances for a reprival. "It's good to
dream," he replied, "but not likely." A small group stood
holding hands nearby; one of them was holding a sign
that read "Victim's Families Against the Death Penalty."
At 10:55, the waiting crowd was tense. There was no
way of knowing whether Briley was on his way to the
electric chair or if, perhaps, the lawyers had succeed-
ed. Both sides of Belvedere were getting restless. The
supporters anxiously sucked down more Budweisers;
the protestors crossed themselves over and over . . . and
at 11:05 word passed through the crowd quickly. It was
done.
The reporter talked to many protestors after the ex-
ecution. There were few supporters available for inter-
viewing. Most had already left.
"It just seems like we failed," said one tearful pro-
testor, "as a society, we just failed, plain gave up. In-
stead of having confidence in human beings, we give
up on them. Instead of believing we could do the job of
rehabilitating the man, we kill him. Instead of showing
love, we hate." At 11:05 last Friday, it was done.
Linwood Briley was a murderer. And we, the people
. . .? At 11:05 p.m. last Friday, Linwood Earl Briley was
dead.

Explaining The
Seasons
by Eric T. Houseknecht, III
This weekend while driv-
ing to Richmond on a sun-
ny Sunday afternoon, I was
struck by a rather
disconcerting revelation.
Autumn was upon us and
had been for several weeks
now. And while anyone
who owns a calendar may
have been well aware of
this fact, it seems that liv-
ing in the collegiate en-
vironment often leaves one
without a sense of what's
occuring in the world
around them. More
specifically, some of us
have become so engrossed
in our own concerns that
we don't even know what
time of year it is.
Our own fair city of
Farmville is by no means a
metropolis, and it should
be apparent to all that
trees, in this town, are in
abundance. But those who
spent their formative years
in less rural environments
are frequently troubled by
their inability to spot
seasonal change. Deprived
of such conventional signs
as caterpillars, yellow
leaves, and the frost on the
pumpkin, these bewildered
citizens are quarterly con-
fronted with the problem of
ascertaining just exactly
when it is what time of
year. In an attempt to
dispel this sort of confu-
sion I offer the following
guide:
AUTUMN
Autumn refers to the
period beginning in late
September and ending
right before January. Its
most salient visual
characteristic is that white
people all over town begin
to lose their tans. Another
marked feature of this
season is that there are
white people all over town,
a fact worth noting in this
context as it signals a
mass return from the
beaches.
Nubbier, more textured
fabrics start to make an ap-
pearance and shoes
become more bootlike.
Politicians begin to
spout brightly hued wild
promises, but it is unwise
to pick them, particularly
early in the season, and on
the whole, one is far safer
in sticking to the cultivated
varieties.
WINTER
Rumored to be a season
separating autumn and
spring, winter is, in this
particular region of the
temperate zone, a rather
mythical figure. This
quicksilver season has

The Art Of Pessimism
by Frank Raio
It has been a rough
week. I am not in a very
good mood. I sprained my
ankle and I got dumped by
one of Longwood's many
blondes. The professors of
this fine institution have
done their part to shave my
buzz this week and I am
hungover. Now I shall write
this week's column. You
can read it if you want to,
I don't care.
I hate when two politi-
cians face each other and
the nation, each armed
with completely opposite
statistics about the same
issue.. I hate all the trash
that accompanies political
campaigns; this trash
comes from journalists as
well as politicians. Who
cares about Vice-
presidential nominee Fer-
raro's husband? I don't
care, but if the press feeds
me enough of his tax
records and the like, I'm
sure that I will hate him
too.
I dislike all federal pro-
grams that do not directly
help me or somebody
whom I do no hate. I abhor
the federal government
when it withholds transpor-
tation funds from states
who do not raise their
drinking age to twenty-one.
National government-
pressured fifty-five mile per
hour speed limits similarly
piss me off. I despise the
constant attempts at pass-
ing legislation that is anti-
abortion, anti-birth control,
anti-homosexuality or pro-
prayer in public schools.
The interest groups who
are making our represen-
tatives take these actions
and the representative who
bend under this pressure
make me vomit. May the
fleas of one thousand
camels infest the bodies of
all involved in this "legisla-
tion of morality."
I bum out on the federal
deficit. I am sick of hearing
all the complaints about
the debt and the non-
action of the entire country
in dealing with this future
crushing problem. I loathe
the Soviet leadership. The
amount of money being
spent on arts by the super-
powers stinks. History has
made the Russians
paranoid and ideaology
makes the Soviets ag-
gressive. Thus they race
militarily. Nature has given
Americans brains to figure
this out. Thus we race. This
I hate.
I still hate England for
blowing us off and going to
the 1980 Olympics in
Moscow. I will always hate
Japan for earning billions
in the U.S. (on cars,
stereos, computers, and
floppy discs) and still
refusing to pay their share
towards the NATO defense
budget. I hate Romania for
giving Nadia Comaniche
steriods, thereby causing
her to become a moose
when she grew up.
There, I feel much better
now. I used by alloted
Rotunda space to get out
all of my frustrations. It
saved me from having to
write about political cam-
paigns and postponed the
inevitable visit from the
men in the white jackets. I
am now ready to face
another week in the cruel
world of Longwood and
beyond.

Lancer's Kersey Has
Bright Future With NBA
Lady Lancers Rank Fourth In
Golf; Play Resumes Oct. 22
Impressed by three solid
performances in exhibition
contests, Portland head
coach Jack Ramsey said
Jerome Kersey
Thursday night that it ap-
pears former Longwood
eager Jerome Kersey has a
future in the National
Basketball Association.
In Thursday's 139-97 vic-
tory by Portland over the
Los Angeles Lakers Kersey
scored 16 points, grabbed
six rebounds, handed out
four assists and made
three steals in just 28
minutes of action.
After the contest
Ramsey predicted success
for the 6'7", 215-pound
rookie, whom the Blazers
chose in the second round
of the NBA draft.
"On a day-to-day basis
Kersey had made tremen-
dous progress," said
Ramsey. "He plays with
great ability and instinct.
Right now it looks like he
has a future in the NBA."

Laker coach Pat Riley
also praised Kersey and
Portland rookies Steve Col-
ter and Bernard Thompson.
"That's as good a set of
rookies as you'll see play
in a game like this," said
Riley. They all come from
solid programs."
Kersey had also played
well in Portland's first two
exhibition contests
against the Utah Jazz, with
totals of 14 points and 6 re-
bounds in one game and 20
points and nine rebounds
in the other.
"Jerome is looking very
good," Portland Publicity
Director John White said
earlier last week. "He has
really impressed the
Portland coaches."
Kersey is one of 14
players battling for a spot
on the Blazers 12-man
regular season roster.
Longwood's all-time scor-
ing and rebounding leader
has signed a four-year con-
tract with Portland, with
the pact being contingent
on him making the team.
Sophomore KImbra PW-
terson and freshman Tina
Barrett led Longwood's
women's golf team to a
fourth place finish out of
12 teams in the 8th Duke
University Invitational Fri-
day through Sunday.
The finish, Longwood's
best ever at Duke, reversed
last year's 12th place
showing. Duke came out
on top with a
299-301-300-900 while
Longwood notched a
320-318-310-948, beating
teams from NC State, Penn
State, James Madison,
William & Mary, North
Carolina-Wilmington and
Appalachian State. All six
of the aforementioned col-
leges are Division I.
Patterson, an up and
down golfer previously,
turned in the top perfor-
mance of her career with a
78-79-77-234 to tie for 13th
out of over 60 golfers. The
sophomore was just 12
strokes over par and
displayed the consistency
she had lacked before.
Barrett also tied for 13th
with an 82-78-74-234. Her
final round score was even-
par. Barrett now has a
stroke average of 77.4 for
11 rounds of college golf.
Should she continue that
pace, Tina will set a new
Longwood record for
stroke average.
Also contributing to
Longwood's strong show-
ing were senior Lanle
Gerken 79-80-82-241,
freshman Marcia Melons

SEASONS cont from page 2
much less staying power
than its hearty antecedent
and is often difficult to
Identify.
A few hints of winter's
impending arrival may be
seen by travelling north to
a more metropolitan en-
vironment where the
popular outdoor fashion
shootings of the fall will
become sparce and will in-
variably be replaced by il-
legal aliens selling oversiz-
ed pretzels and cold
chestnuts.
Along about February,
local citizens will grow
tired of watching the daily
rainstorms and will, almost
as one, fly to Florida for
some relief. Shortly after
their return they will begin
to lose their tans, but this
Is merely an example of the
exception proving the rule
and should not be taken by
the novice as a sign of
autumn. It is still winter, so
try to regain your bearings
by going to Winn-Dixie and
determining which out-of-
season fruits are the most
expensive.
^SPRING
Spring is a season
whose reputation precedes
it and is often found attrac-
tive by a more rarefied
crowd. Around April, art
majors and aesthetic
realists begin shedding
their sweaters, while in the
cities, very constructed
young men start to plan
next autumn's colors. Pro-
perty values at the beach
rise sharply while the level
of reason and good will
recedes from the banks.
Newsstands become
more delicately tinged as
magazine covers once
again sport their seasonal
pastel look and the word
"relationship" is in the air,
although fortunately not in
the water.
SUMMER
Although the most hard-
nosed element maintains
that summer is that time
which is not winter, it
technically describes the
interval between spring
and autumn, and most
quickly manifests itself by
a luxuriant growth in VEP-
CO bills.
A great many adults,
stunned by the bountiful
harvest of roving street
gangs, forget that they
look terrible in shorts.
Daylight savings time
blossoms once more and
is welcomed heartily be in-
somniacs who now have
less night to be up all of.
; Wits thicken, urban flesh
turns a vivid gray, and the
word "relationship" is in
the water, but not, for-
tunately, in Farmville.

Pygmalion" Shows Tonight
The film "Pygmalion"
will be shown on Tuesday,
October 16 at 7:30 p.m. in
Bedford Auditorium as part
of the Women in Literature
Film Series. The film series
is free and open to the
public.
Released in 1938, this
first film version of George
Bernard Shaw's play stars
Wendy Hiller as Eliza
Doolittle and Leslie
Howard as Henry Higgins.
Shaw's popular play was
later filmed in a musical
version entitled "My Fair
Lady".
Approximately thirty
people from the Farmville
community and local high
schools and colleges at-
tended the first film in this
series, a 1967 version of
Shakespeare's "The Tam-
ing of the Shrew," on Oc-
tober 3.
The final film in the
series, "Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof," starring Elizabeth
Taylor, Paul Newman, and
Richard Burton, will be
shown on Thursday,
November 1, at 7:30 p.m.
The Women in Literature
Film Series is funded by a
grant from Duke University,
University of North
Carolina Women's Studies
Research Center.
Dr. Martha E. Cook,
Associate Professor of
English at Longwood,
received a Curriculum
Development Award from
the Center to develop a
course which is being
taught for the Senior
Seminar in English in the
fall semester, 1984. The
course focuses on the por-
trayal of women in British
and American poetry, fic-
tion, and drama, by both
male and female authors.
Students in the course
are reading William
Makepeace Thackeray's
Vanity Fair in assignments
approximating the novel's
original publication in
monthly installments, in
connection with the focus
on the study of long novels
in the English curriculum
at Longwood.
According to Dr. Cook,

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, October 16, 1984
Lap For Lancers
Raises *2,000
The fourth walk-jog-a-
thon Laps for the Lancers
was held Sunday afternoon
around a .4 of a mile
course in front of the
Rotunda at Longwood^
raising nearly $2,000 in
pledges for Longwood Col-
lege Athletics.
An estimated 75 par-
ticipants took part. Top
male runner was Tim Fit-
zgerald of the wrestling
team who completed 25
laps in an hour (10 miles).
Another wrestler David
Moffett was second with
23 laps
Top female runner was
basketball standout Karen
Boska with 15 laps (6
miles) completed. Tied
with 14 laps were Robin
McGowan (cheerleaders).
Barbie Burton (basketball)
and Sherry Wallace (runn-
ing for field hockey).
Top individual fund
raisers were Lancer Clum
members Dr. Carolyn
Hodges ($427), and Dr.
Carolyn Wells ($200).
Hodges and Wells paced
the Lancer Club to a total
of $810.95 in funds raised.
Top teams in fundrais-
ing were the Longwood
cheerleaders ($396),
women's golf ($246) and
women's basketball ($201).
Each team receives one-
half of its pledge total with
the other half going to sup-
port the general Athletic
Program.
SHREIR
c:ont from front page
socialist.
Rotunda: So the actual
conservatives in Britain
would be somewhat more
liberal than conservatives
here?
Shreir: They have been
up to now, but there is a
trend toward a very tradi-
tionalist type of conser-
vatism which is trying to go
against some of the liberal
assumptions and the idea
that all thats good in terms
of human values can be
consigned to the liberal
camp. This type of conser-
vative traditionalism also
goes against what can be
seen as a liberal' economic
policy on the part of the
government. I mean,
monatarism is really, in a
sense, just an aspect of
laiseez-faire which of
course is just nineteenth
century liberalism so what
this type of conservatism
in Britain is saying is that
there's more to conser-
vatism than a particular
point of view of all
economics although it
would certainly prefer a
laissez-faire type of
economic (system) to one
that involved a lot of state
intervention. What's involv-
ed with that kind of conser-
vatism is traditional
values, religion, respect for
the family, respect for cer-
tain institutions like the
monarchy, the House of
Lords, all those wonderful
British things that make
life seem . . . what do they
do? . . . they give you a
sense of the natural order
and they . . . dignify power.
Rotunda: If the class
system is more traditional
in Britain, do you see the
class system here as being
just as traditional in a dif-
ferent way, or is it a totally
different thing?
Shreir: I don't know that
I've been here long enough
to say ... I don't know
about the working class in
America really; I haven't
seen as nnuch in terms of
the sort of spontaneous in-
clination to divide people
into classes in that way. Or
in terms of people thinking
of themselves as belong-
ing to a certain class, that
might be because a lot of
the people I've met have
been middle classs
because you have to pay
for your education,
whereas there's much
more of a system of state
aid for education in Britain.
So, I don't know, but I
would suspect that more
working class kids have
higher education in Britain,
but I might be totally wrong
about that. I seems in-
credibily expensive (to get
an education in the U.S.)
whereas if you get any kind
of grant at all, and almost
everyone in Britain does
for a first degree, then you
automatically get your tui-
tion fees paid.
Rotunda: The student
left in the U.S. has been an
active force in the country
since the mid-sixties; do
you see that as a positive
force here, and, also, is it
an active force in Britain?
Shreir: It's certainly a
force in Britain, though it's
less viciferous than it was,
because a lot of the things
around which it can unite,
certain fundamental rights
and all the rest of it • or
what would be seen as fun-
damental rights - have now
been fulfilled. Someone
was talking to me about
the civil rights movement
here, and saying that's why
the democrats haven't got
anything to sort of cohese
around. I think it's in-
evitable that students are
going to be idealistic in
those directions. . . I do
think actually that it's very
easy to be on the left when
you're a student and it's
not so easy later on. The
idea that anything that's
. on the right is callous, and
uncaring, and unfeeling is
totally wrong, and I do
believe that. . . actually.
That sort of consensus
which tends to exist in stu-
dent politics is mistaken
because there certainly is
a type of conservatism
which is not by any means
uncaring and unfeeling. I
think that when you look at
some of the things that are
happening in Eastern
Europe, you see that the
left - left wing politics - can
lead to a system which is
decidedly uncaring and
unfeeling and doesn't
cater to human needs at
all. and I do believe that.
Rotunda: How so?
Specifically where?
Shreir: Checkoslavakia,
Russia, the communist
world.
Rotunda: How about the
free left - the greens in
West Germany -is that
uncaring?
Shreir: No, I didn't say
that the left was necessari-
ly uncaring; some feel that
they might be misguided -
the left which tends to
think that it has a monopo-
ly on morality and on
humane attitudes acan
turn into a very inhumane
system which is precisely
what has happened in Cen-
tral and Eastern Europe. Of
course, the Greens and all
the rest of it think that they
are caring, and most of
them are caring. The issue
is a pragmatic one, unfor-
tunately; it's not just a
. moral or an idealistic one.
In an ideal world, we
wouldn't have nuclear
weapons. This isn't an
ideal world, and I do think
that there are things intrin-
sic to the communist
system which make them
belligerent.
Essential to communism
is the idea of an enemy --
communism rests very
heavily on that and that's
how it galvanizes people
into action and that's how
it gets them to think that
everything that's being
done is for the people,
when very often, if not
always, it's for the state.
Rotunda: Is the endpoint
of the left totalitarianism?
Shreir: i think that there
are people in Britain who
do genuinely respect
democratic institutions
and constitutional govern-
ment and all the rest of it.
There are a lot who don't,
but once you get to calling
yourself a Marxist if you
look carefully at what Marx
said then the tendency
toward totalitarianism is
all there, and it isn't just
heresy.
Rotunda: In regards to
the student left, are you
saying that they aren't able
to see the actual drudgery
and financial realities of
the world, and as they
grow older, they do, and
become somewhat more
conservative?
Shreir: I don't think it's
just the drudgery and the
financial reality. I think it
has much more to do with
values, and I think there is
a tendency when you're
young to reject all sorts of
ideas. To say that. I jknow
sounds terribly patroniz-
ing. But we've all done it, or
most of us have done it, in
some way. It's not surpris-
ing. I think that the type of
idealism that seems total-
ly harmless when you're a
student - when your're
young - can have extreme-
ly dangerous conse-
quences especially when it
degenerates into dogma
and into an ideology and
you get a system which, far
from being free, is in fact
enslaved to an ideology
which is far worse than be-
ing constrained by certain
laws and institutions.
Rotunda: Did the
socialist system in Britain
grow out of a certain
liberalism?
Shreir: I think not, I think
that it would like very much
to distinguish itself from
liberalism and to be
seperate. Because of very
different beliefs. Although
a lot of them, as I asaid,
would respect certain
liberal institutions and
political processes. It is
quite a different view,
liberalism is very in-
dividualistic, socialism is
to do with the corporate
body and the general good,
supposedly. Also, totally
different views of human
nature, of historical pro-
cesses and all the rest of it
on it. So it is quite distinct.
In many ways,
theoretically, there is more
in comon in terms of an at-
titude towards history bet-
ween socialism and con-
servatism than between
(socialism and) liberalism.
Liberals thank that there
are these immutable
human values and institu-
tions and immutable
human nature. That is
quite different from con-
servatism and socialism
which would think that
human nature and political
processes that are built on
it have dtermined in some
sense historically. I think
certainly the movement
whith the socialists in Bri-
tain would not want to be
called liberals.
Rotunda: Would they
want to be called
Conservatives?
Shreir: Certainly not.
One of the ironies that is
not well-known is that the
Soviet Union which is one
of the most conservative
governments there is. It is
incapable of changing and
that is one of the problems
of being, as I put it, of be-
ing ensalved to an
ideology.
Rotunda: Where does
feminism fit into all this?
Why is the feminist move-
ment traditionally in the
left?
Shreir: I have a lot of
sympathy with feminism,
but not when it becomes
an ideology such that
women are so worried
about being ideologically
sound that they are as
much trapped as they
thought they were being
trapped by men. That is
what actually happens.
Rotunda: So, the
feminist force is actually
detrimental to the cause?
Shreir: No it's not
necessarily detrimental,
it's the form it often takes
that is detrimental. There
is nothing wrong with
women doing more and
seeing themselves as
equal, if different from
men. There is something
wrong with thinking that
everytime you put on a
dress or talk to a man you
might be doing something
ideologically unsound.
Rotunda: So the ex-
tremism is the problem?
Shreir: Yes, it is difficult
to talk about the ex-
tremism because in
England you tend to
distinguish between
socialist feminism and
radical feminism. Socialist
feminism is feminism that
thinks everything will be
resolved for women if you
have socialism, and radical
feminism is feminism in
which you think sexual
politics are more fun-
damental. I don't think that
I fit into either of these
categories. Although, like a
conservative, as a conser-
vative ... I think that you
won't resolve everything by
an economic system ... I
think that social life and
human relations is far
more fundamental than
economics and would be
changed fundamentally by
economics, if you want to
change it.
THE
OTUNDA
Longwood College
Farmville, Virginia
Sixty-fourth year
Tuesday, October 23, 1984
Number 9
English Program
Emphasizes IVIajor Works
Great works of literature,
which traditionally have been
shunned in college English
t classes because of their imposing
length, are nnaking a comeback
at Longwood College.
The National Endowment for
' the Humanities aided that
comeback recently when it
awarded a $28,000 grant to
Longwood's freshman English
program. The grant will build
upon a pilot program last spring
, in which freshmen were required
to read and "know well" a major
novel.
The grant, awarded by NEH's
Division of Education Programs,
provided funds beginning in
January 1985 to support ad-
ditional research into classic
literary texts, a visit to campus by
a major scholar who will work
with faculty and students, and a
series of workshops to
strengthen the techniques for
teaching literature. The
Longwood Foundation is also
contributing $7,000 to the
expanded program. Dr. Ellery
Sedgwick, assistant professor of
English, will direct the program.
The key element of the grant
is the extended study of a major
literary work in English 101, a
composition and literature
course taught by the Department
of English, Philosophy and
Foreign Languages. Teaching
the work serially— as many
literature classics were first
published — encourages more
thorough, lasting knowledge of
the classics which have shaped
Western culture, say the people
involved in the program.
"Under the traditional ap-
proach to teaching literature,
everything was retrospective,"
said Sedgwick.- "The students
would read the work and then
come back into the classroom
and discuss it retrospectively.
But this way, they will be
developing their insights while
they arc still reading the book.
Instead of being told by the
teacher what it means, we will
discover the themes as we go
along."
The tendency in freshman
English classes has been toward
shorter works, such as short
stories and poems, and therefore
only upper-level English
students were exposed to major
works," said Sedgwick. "So
many of the major works in
British and American literature
are big. They shouldn't be
excluded simply on their length.
We feel that these important
works should be brought back
into the curriculum."
The selected work for the
spring semester will be Bleak
House, a novel by Charles
Dickens. Last spring semester,
another Dickens novel, the
classic David Copperfield, was
read by the 500-plus freshmen in
English 101.
One advantage of the
program is that some 500 to 600
students will be reading and
discussing the same classic work
throughout a semester.
"One thing that appeals to us
is that everyone will be reading a
long piece of literature together,"
Sedgwick said. "They can
discuss it in their dorm rooms or
in the dining hall or wherever.
We want them to become im-
mersed in the culture of that
era."
"We'll have speakers come
here from time to time to discuss
the work and its cultural,
historical and social background.
1 believe strongly in presenting a
novel in its cultural context. In
the past, the cultural background
wasn't given enough attention."
In addition to reading a major
work, students in English 101
will continue to study other
shorter works of literature and to
write essays to sharpen their
composition skills. The course is
required of all four-year students
at Longwood.
Longwood's small classes,
which allow for critical analysis
and discussion by students, and
the fact that all full-time
members of the department
teach in the freshman program,
were important elements in the
grant application's appeal to
NEH. The grant proposal
emphasizes a coordinated
teaching of research techniques
and will add new resources to
Longwood's library collection.
Although the funding is finite,
"we hope that the program will
have a continuing effect on the
way we teach," said Sedgwick.
Yearbook Publication Studied
by Lisa Jessup
Although there is student
interest in the Virginian,
Longwood's yearbook, com-
munication problems plague its
recovery.
Phyllis Mable, Vice-President
of Student Affairs, said the
Student Government
Association (SGA) was looking
to see if students wanted a
yearbook or not. An SGA goal
for the year was to survey
students on whether or not they
would pay ten dollars for a
yearbook. Randy Chittum, SGA
President, was uncertain of the
survey's progress.
A freshman who showed an
interest in the yearbook, Wendy
Staples, conducted a survey of
approximately 500 students
during dinner in Blackwell
Dining Hall. Of those 500
students, 350 said they would
purchase a yearbook at ten
dollars and 150 students said
they would not.
Staples has a few people with
high school yearbook experience
willing to begin work on the
student's activity fee, but the
student fees were not enough to
cover the cost of the year-
books—consequently, year-
books had to be sold.
Another problem was a lack of
staff. Carolyn Tinsley, a staff
member of previous yearbooks,
said, "The sky was the limit. We
could do anything we wanted
but there weren't enough
people." Chittum said the
problem was not getting students
to work on the yearbook as
much as getting students to buy
them.
Last year, the Virginian was
not published. Instead, a few
seniors organized a booklet
picturing graduating seniors
which was handed out at
graduation.
Ms. Mable believes a lot of
students probably would like to
have a yearbook as a memory of
their college days. She also said,
"Some students see a yearbook
as extra baggage— if they have
to pay for it then forget it."
As to the present state of the
Virginian, Ms. Mable said, "No
one opposes the yearbook, nor
is anyone pushing for one."
Virginian, but is waiting to see
what effect her survey will have
in getting the ball rolling.
Teresa Hasty, a Student
member of the Publications
Board, said the first step is to get
an advisor and a business
manager. Then a budget for the
yearbook is needed to present to
the Publications Board.
The Virginian is funded
through Student Activities Fees.
However, the deadline for an
organization to make an appeal
to the Student Activities Fees
Committee was October 17th.
Chittum, who is not worried
over missing the deadline, said,
"There will still be some (money)
left over."
Staples, who was not aware of
the deadline nor that an advisor
and business manager were
needed, said that Chittum was to
handle things once she knew
that people were interested in a
yearbook. Chittum said he was
not aware of this arrangement.
One major problem with past
Virginians was the fact that the
cost of the yearbook was sup-
posed to be included in a

Standing Tall in a Milk Pall
Ronald Reagan may have more forethought than any of
us ever expected. Since 1980, the President has been acting
to strengthen the U.S. economy through supply-side
economics, which, he claims, has lowered inflation as well as
unemployment.
Yet Reagan's current plan will do more for the U.S.
economy than any petty tax cut. It will bolster our economy
and make the national debt seem less important. It might
even solidify national pride, and it will be a superb post-birth
method of population control. The man-of-the-hour's an-
swer to the nations? War, man, war!
And Mr. Reagan isn't fooling around. Just last winter
the CIA was mining Nicaragua's harbors, and now over
1,900 U.S. troops (as compared to a handful of advisers two
years ago) are residing in Central America. Already, "joint
military exercises" between the U.S. and Honduras involving
nearly 6,000 U.S. soldiers have been conducted in that
nation. Already, airfields have been expanded to enable "our
boys" to land safely just miles away from Nicaragua. In
addition, military bases were established during the exercises
and conveniently left standing. Already the CIA has spent
over seuenti; million dollars in "covert operations".
There's no sense in fooling around in Nicaragua as we
did in Vietnam two decades ago— let's reelect Reagan and
get it over with. I've always wanted to see Central America
anyway. Let's not be hypocrites about it either— like we were
in Vietnam— let's call it a full-scale, all-out military invasion.
Get in there and win one for the Gipper, you know how it is.
Or if you don't, Reagan certainly does: if we're real
Americans, we'll support him to the bloody end.
Enough of that babble: The thrust of the Reagan ad-
ministration's foreign policy is hostile to our adversaries and
alarming to increasing numbers of our allies. It is increasingly

obvious that Reagan's version of foreign policy has, over the
past four years, crept into a kind of senile paranoia.
Nicaragua begins to look more and more like Reagan's
version not only of Vietnam but also of Afghanistan. He
continues to make unrealistic claims that the "reds are
coming," yet he has been unable to show conclusive proof
that the Soviets or the Cubans are supplying arms to
Nicaragua in numbers even close to the rate at which we are
supplying arms, training, and troops.
Ronald Reagan has done more to arouse the hostilities
of countless nations than any U.S. President in decades,
even arousing the hostility of many of our European allies.
Were we to continue on this course for "four more years,"
Reagan's aggressive style may likely lead us into war in
Central America if not elsewhere in the world. Reagan's
belligerence in foreign relations, notably the lesser in the four
months before election day, may well result in a fate con-
trasting sharply with this psychotic, standing tall image which
Reagan seems to feel is necessary for the United States.
Americans aren't as hostile as the Reagan administration
believes. I hope, at least, that U.S. citizens aren't willing to
see their country become illegally involved in the affairs of
another nation yet again. Too many died the first time, and
the next would see thousands more die on the battlefields.
This is the point to which Reagan seems perfectly willing to
lead. But are we willing to follow

Your Turn
To the Editor:
Longwood's newly formed
Dining Hall Committee is a body
of students chosen to discuss
food service problems. Two
students from each class were
chosen by class presidents.
The committee has already
met with the new Dining Hall
Director Rick Johnson twice,
and will continue to do so on a
bi-weekly basis. In our first two
encounters Johnson proved
himself willing to discuss
student's grievances in a candid
atmosphere.
In our first two meetings much
was discussed and resolved. The
committee made a proposal that
hot breakfast be served from
7:30-8:30 a.m. instead of 7:00-
8:00 a.m. The dining hall would
still remain open from 7:00 until
9:00 with only the hot breakfast
period shifting. This idea would
seem to better accommodate
students with 8 and/or 9 a.m.
classes. Also discussed was the
feasibility and efficiency of the
family-style eating arrangement.
Family-style is now only in
operation at dinner, but ad-
ministrative pressure is pushing
for a resumption of family-style
in the upper dining hall during
lunch time. The only reason it
hasn't been imposed is the lack
of student workers. Instead of
our committee making any
arbitrary decisions it was decided
that the issues should be decided
by the students. On Wednesday,
October 24 in the New Smoker a
vote will be held on the breakfast
issue, and a simple plurality will
decide it. Also on the ballot
students will be polled to
discover whether family-style or
cafeteria dining ac-
commodations are perferred.
ARA/Slater's main gripe with
students is the disinterest of
students to bus their own tables.
It was agreed that past gimmicks
used have not helped to solve
the problem. The only new idea
proposed was that stack carts
could be sectionalized in the
cafeteria. The rationale is that
students wouldn't have to walk
as far with their trays, and could
avoid the congestion of the
regular depository areas. Since
the proposed carts would have
to be purchased administrative
approval is still pending.
The Dining Hall Committee is
here to represent the students.
It's not going to be able to
change the food service to
everybody's liking, but it can
bargain for reasonable sub-
stantive and qualitative changes.
Students with specific gripes or
problems can take them to either
Rick Johnson or myself. Any
reasonable suggestions may also
be sent to Box 867.

The Threepenny Opera: A Review
by Jeff Abernathy
The Longwood Players'
production of Bertolt Brecht's
The Threepenny Opera offered
some of the best performances
the college has seen in a good
while, arguably since the 1982
production of Red R\;der in
addition, however, the musical
exhibited some very weak
performances and some very
obvious repetitions of character-
types.
1984 Best- Actor Recipient,
Vince Decker, playing the lead
role of MacHeath, portrayed the
villain with few flaws; however,
direction seems to have made
the character sinister in a cute
manner, and not in an evil one,
as was the playwright's intention.
The audience is led to sym-
pathize with MacHeath, whose
numerous crimes nearly lead to
his death, and we aren't able to
evaluate him in an objective
fashion, as Brecht would have
To Have and Do Not
^
by Eric H. Houseknecht
Originally, 1 had every in-
tention of writing an article this
week. I just couldn't think of
anything to write. I saw my
editor on Friday night and he
suggested that I comb the
campus and do a party review.
The idea of evaluating
Longwood's social scene on a
Friday night appealed to me.
Unfortunately, seventy-five
percent of the student
population packed up and left
this weekend. So I convinced
myself that my schedule could
not, at this time, accommodate
such a task, seeing as how I was
up to my ears in oversleeping,
unfounded rumors, and
superficial friendships. 1 retired
to my room to peruse the
remains of last Sunday's paper.
Browsing through the "Arts
and Leisure" section, I came
across an article describing the
negotiation of a book deal by a
writer of commercial fiction. The
book in question has not yet
been written. On the basis,
however, of the reputation of the
author and the expertise of the
agent, the book-to-be was sold
for the gratifying sum of one
million dollars. The following
week the same agent sold the
same nonexisting book for the
same exact figure to, as they say,
the movies.
I mulled the situation over for
a while. I've gone to great pains
this year just to be prolific
enough to churn out one article
a week. Obviously, I've been
going about this whole business
In the wrong way. Not writing, it
turns out, is not only fun but also
quite profitable. 1 wrote a note to
myself to call that literary agent
on Monday and tell him that I
have several unwritten books
available for purchasing— maybe
as many as ten.
I spent the remainder of the
evening filled with an uneasy
greed. My sister called and we
discussed this and other matters
at some length. When it came
time to hang up, I did so
reluctantly, being well aware of
how important talking on the
phone was to my newly lucrative
career of not writing.
On Saturday I forged ahead
and, by absolute imposition of
will, spent the entire day not
writing a single word. Instead I
attended an exhibit of the work
of a local professor and artist. In
happy contemplation of my
impending wealth, I asked
another observer of these works
about the prices of some of the
attractively displayed pictures.
His answer left me only mildly
shocked and it was at this point
that I decided to diversify— to
become more visual.
Not writing was fine for the
acquisition of a little capital but
the real money was, it seemed to
me, in not painting. No longer
was 1 going to allow myself to be
confined to one form. I now was
not going to work in two
mediums.
Inspired by my new discovery,
I began to look at things in an
entirely new light. While driving
through the countryside 1 was
struck by the thought that among
the things I cultivate, land is not
one of them. I made another
note to contact the Department
of Agriculture and notify them
that I am presently not growing
any wheat. 1 know that the
acreage around Cox is small but
it should be worth something.
And while I'm at it 1 might as well
try the Welfare Department. I
don't have a job either. That
ought to bring in a few bucks.
So I did not paint— piece of
cake. I grew no wheat— simple. I
even remained unemployed—
no problem. And when it came
to not writing I was the best, an
old pro. Except where there's a
deadline to be met; then I falter.
But this piece was due. There
are others to think of and
obligations to be met. But as the
more observant among you will
notice, I have exercised a
modicum of restraint. This article
is short— much too short. I
couldn't help it. I needed the
money. If you're going to do
something you might as well do
it halfway. After all, business is
business.
desired.
Aside from this. Decker took
on a tough role and handled it
well. MacHeath's disposition
changes by the minute, which
makes the role a difficult one for
any actor. Given this, Decker
created a very believable
character. The audience was not
thrown off as MacHeath in-
termittently changed from a
raging tyrant to a supposedly
starry-eyed lover in a few short
moments. There is reason
enough here to credit Decker
with the best performance in The
Threeper)r]y Opera. In addition,
however, Decker's singing voice
has vastly improved since the
few short lines he sang in 1983's
Imagmarx; Inualid. His voice was
stronger than any of the others
on stage. Thus, despite flaws
which may have come from
direction, Decker's performance
in the musical was superb.
Female lead Sophia Paulette,
in her first major role at
Longwood, played Polly
Peachum, a young innocent
who has fallen in love with
MacHeath. Paulette's acting was
particularly good in the second
scene of the First Act, in which
she "marries" MacHeath. She
played off of Decker's lines well
in this scene, and the rendition
of "Pirate Jenny" was her best of
the show.
Paulette has a good voice, yet
she was unable to project fully in
many of her songs. The
audience was, at times, straining
to hear. The "Jealousy Duet"
with Natalie Thompson as Lucy
Brown lacked intensity. Neither
actress was able to pace the duet
properly; it was performed much
too slow.
Laura Coombs was
melodramatic in the role of Mrs.
Peachum. She seemed to be
playing to the audience and not
working with the other actors on
stage. There was a nearly
audible sigh as she finished each
line, and Jerry Dagenhart, in the
role of Mr. J. J. Peachum, was
forced to make up for the
inadequacies.
Dagenhart carried the Outfit
Shop scenes. Where other
actors were weak he was able to
continue the momentum. The
musical's first scene is the best
example of Dagenhart's work.
When it started too slow, he
increased the pace and en-
tertained the audience where
other actors were failing. If there
was a difficulty with Dagenhart's
performance, it was that he
tends to be overbearing on the
stage. While this isn't always
objectionable to the audience, it
may impose on less experienced
actors. In many scenes of The
Threeper\ny Opera, however,
Dagenhart's boisterous per-
formance was both enjoyable
and necessary.
Connie Watkins played the
prostitute Jenny impressively.
Her acting was critical to the
Brothel scenes, as was her
singing. Watkins was cast well in
this part.
Jeff Fleming, playing Tiger
Brown, was effective in his first
performance at Longwood. His
singing voice was especially
good in the "Army Song". He
was well suited to the nervous
police commissioner.
The musical was able to
entertain the audience con-
sistently over the nearly three-
hour performance. Props were
done well excepting minor
problems such as misspellings on
the Street Singer's easel and the
inclusion of "Honor Code
Violation" on the listing of
MacHeath's crimes.
The Threepenr}}^ Opera
reminds one of past Longwood
Players' productions, for more
than one of the actors has played
a part strikingly similar to the one
he or she played in this musical.
If the intent of the productions is
to enable students to learn the
act of acting, repetitiously casting
individuals for similar parts
defeats such intent. If the actors
plan to make careers of acting,
such casting serves to limit the
scope of their talent by
neglecting some aspects of it.
Actors end up in a rul before
they complete the training which
is intended to expand them.
Running in circles is fun, but it
doesn't get you anywhere.
The Longwoodl Players staged
a worthy production in The
Threepenr)]; Opera. Hopefully
improvements will be evident in
the year's remaining produc-
tions.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, October 23, 1984
Mondale Turns To Students For Votes
(CPS)— Heartened by what
supporters term "exceptional"
and "very receptive" student
audiences at several recent
campus appearances, the
Mondale campaign is trying to
woo the elusive student vote
with a renewed vigor, campaign
organizers report.
The new strategy, however,
alms at a sector of the population
that rarely votes, and that seems
to be swinging toward President
Ronald Reagan, observers point
out.
Moreover, the head of the
nationwide College Democrats
group thinks much of the
campaign's new student focus is
"hogwash," adding the Mondale
troops in reality are not doing
anything different from what
they've been doing for months.
Nevertheless, "Mondale is
definitely interested in getting
our message to (college
students)," says Gary Brickman,
national youth coordinator for
the Mondale/Ferraro campaign.
"Mondale has been speaking
on quite a few college campuses,
and he's really been getting a lot
better response than earlier on in
the campaign," Brickman
claims.
As a result, he says, "we're
starting to focus on the campus
vote and get-out-the-vote
programs."
The strategy change,
Brickman says, came after
Mondale's September speech at
the University of Southern
California, which was punc-
tuated by repeated heckles and
jeers from Reagan supporters.
But the hecklers only
provoked Mondale into making
one of his best speeches,
Brickman says, injecting some
excitement and controversy into
the appearance.
National press coverage of the
event also helped boost Mon-
dale's campus image, par-
ticularly after several of the
hecklers admitted they were part
of an organized effort to in-
terrupt the speech, Brickman
adds.
Although an October 5th New
York Times Poll shows President
Reagan heavily favored among
college-aged voters, Mondale
supporters say the USC speech
gave new life to his campus
campaign.
The following week Mondale
got another unexpected lift
during a well-received speech at
George Washington University
in Washington, D.C.
"When he went to George
Washington and got such an
outstanding reception,"
Brickman says, "it really helped
pick up" Mondale's interest in
the student vote.
As a result of the USC and
George Washington speeches,
"Mondale's campus campaign is
a little more visible now, and
we're picking up (the campus
campaign) as we get closer to the
election."
Among other things, Mondale
will squeeze more campus
appearances into his schedule in
the weeks before the election,
and send other Democratic
leaders to campaign for him.
Mondale headquarters
Cadets Travel To Fort Lee
On September 22, 1984 fifty-
eight Longwood ROTC cadets
traveled to Fort Lee, Va. where
they met a group of cadets from
the University of Richmond.
Jointly these cadets would
conduct and undergo training at
both the Leadership Reaction
Course and at the Confidence
Course. The training which took
place was a learning experience
for both the MSIV's (senior year
cadets) and the MSlII's (junior
cadets) . It gave the MSIV's their
first chance to conduct and
evaluate training, and it gave the
MSIll's a brief glimpse of what
ROTC advanced camp is like.
The Leadership Reaction
Course, (LRC), is designed to
test a cadet's ability to lead a
group of men through on ob-
stacle using only the material at
hand and the combined ability of
the group. Each cadet is given
the opportunity to be the squad
leader during one of the ten
different situations. They are
then evaluated and critiqued by
one of the MSIV graders. The
cadets' are evaluated on a scale
of 1 to 5 in eadh of the following
areas; administrative control,
communication skills,
decisiveness, delegation, en-
thusiasm, initiative judgment,
planning, problem-analysis and
teamwork. It is this evaluation
which allows the MSIV's to
assess the cadet's weaknesses,
so as to best prepare them for
advanced camp.
While the LRC tested a cadet's
mental ability, the confidence
course was a test of his en-
durance. The MSIII cadets
remained in the same squads
they had been in for the LRC,
however they were joined by an
MSIV grader who would guide
them through the 24 obstacle
course. His purpose was to keep
the squad motivated and to
make sure that they worked
together, thus ensuring that
every squad member completed
the course safely.
The LRC and the confidence
course are just the beginning of a
full year of training for the MSIII
cadets. Before the year's end,
the MSIII cadets will be proficient
in leadership dimensions, land
navigation, use of the M16 rifle
and the M60 machine gun,
squad tactics, drill and
ceremony, and physical training.
It is up to the MSIV cadets to
maintain the high standard of
training which was given by last
year's MSIVs for these MSlII's to
excel at advanced camp.
recently released press releases
for National Student Voter
Registration Day, asserting
"students will vote in significant
numbers to put an end to
Reagan's underestimate of your
generation."
"Your generation will decide
this race," one of Mondale's
prepared statements said. "For
Ronald Reagan to think that you
don't care about your own
futures—care about cuts in loans
for education and most of all
about nuclear war— is sheer
arrogance."
Former presidential can-
didates Gary Hart, George
McGovern, Jesse Jackson, and
Alan Cranston— who them-
selves garnered sizable campus
followings during their cam-
paigns—will be speaking on
Mondale's behalf at a number of
schools, Brickman says,
although he couldn't list any
specific campuses.
Jackson and Hart already
have begun courting the student
vote for Mondale at a number of
recent campus visits, however.
"Young people are really
beginning to look at the issues,"
says Bill Morton, president of the
College Democrats in
Washington, DC.
"And Mondale's speech at
George Washington was a
turning point for his campus
campaign," he adds.
But Morton says the talk of a
great new drive to get the college
vote is "absolute hogwash," a
ploy to get more media at-
tention.
Mondale's campus vote
movement has been in full swing
for months, Morton says, relying
on voter registration efforts,
speeches by Hart and Jackson,
■ and campus appearances by
Mondale's son and daughter at
such schools as the State
University of New York at
Albany, Cal-Santa Barbara and
Texas.
Vice Presidential candidate
Geraldine Ferraro, too, has
campaigned at Memphis State,
Vanderbilt and Akron, among
others.

"Miracle Producer to Speak
II
Mary MacCracken, author of
A Circle of Children and
Loue^, A \Jery Special Child,
will speak at Longwood
College on Thursday, October
25, at 8 p.m. in the
Red/White/Green Rooms of
the Lankford Building.
The public is cordially invited
to hear Ms. MacCracken's
address. Her to-^ic is "A Safe
Place to Grow." Following the
address, there will be a
reception in the Gold Room of
Lankford Building.
Mary MacCracken has been
described as a producer of
"what were once called
miracles." For more than 20
years, she has worked with
children who have been judged
"difficult to impossible" —
children with problems ranging
from learning disabilities and
social maladjustments to
serious emotional disturbances
like autism.
Much of Ms. MacCracken's
time is spent in diagnosis of
learning disabilities and
emotional problems and in
consultation with families and
schools. She has worked in
both public and private schools
and is presently in private
practice as an educational
therapist in Englewood, New
Jersey.
Her formula focuses on
"teaching the whole child" and
giving the young learner self-
esteem along with academic
skills. "If you feel ten-lbly bad
and troubled you're not going
to be able to learn," she said.
"A teacher has to deal with
both."
She states that teaching time
and effort "should be 90
percent to the child's strong
points and only 10 percent on
remediation of weaknesses ..
The child must be successful or
he won't go on to the next
task."
Ms. MacCracken's first two
books— A Circle of Children
and Lovey, A Very Special
Child— won American Library
Association awards, have been
published in 21 countries, and
were made into television
specials for CBS.
Her latest book, City Kid,
won the 1982 Educator's
Award as "a book which may
influence future directions in
the teaching profession." It also
is being developed as a TV
special.
In 1979, Ms. MacCracken
was honorary chairperson for
the National Mental Health
Association and received an
award citing her "outstanding
contribution to a better un-
derstanding of childhood
mental health."
Ms. MacCracken's address is
part of Longwood's Teacher
Education Centennial
celebration and is co-
sponsored by the local chapter
of Delta Kappa Gamma
Society International and the
Farmvllle chapter of the
Longwood Alumni
Association.

Campuses Reluctantly Okay Porn Flicks
Several campuses once again
have opted to approve using
campus funds and facilities to
run pornographic movies during
the last month.
Most recently, University of
Virginia President Frank
Hereford has refused a National
Organization of Women (NOW)
invitation to view the movie
"Deep Throat."
NOW wanted to enlist
Hereford's support in banning
the film from UVA, where it was
shown as a fundraiser for the Phi
Sigma Kappa fraternity two
weeks ago.
Hereford, in a letter to
Cynthia Taylor, president of the
Charlottesville, Va., NOW
chapter, said that while he
"personally abhors this kind of
thing," he feared banning the
film would violate the First
Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, Taylor reports.
Also fearing it'd quash free
speech, an Indiana University
dorm student government last
' week approved a motion to let
students keep showing X-rated
movies in the dorm.
The week before, 25
University of Iowa protestors
tried to disrupt a campus
showing of a movie called
"Peeping Tom."
The anti-pornography forces
have won a few times. The
manager of a University of Texas
at El Paso campus pub recently
ordered the pub's pay TV
channel turned off at 10 p.m.,
when SelecTV switches to blue
movie programming.
"This is a very complex issue
of values," NOW's Taylor
replies. "Hereford claims the
school won't do anything that is
against community standards,
but in Charlottesville, this is
against community standards."
She maintains "the cost of
human dignity is too great to
show this type of film on public
grounds of a state school,
especially as a fundraiser."
Taylor also sees the issue as
"the last bastion of men against
women at a university."
The courts, however, have
been quick to rule against those
who would ban movies, books
or other forms of popular
culture.
In a May, 1983 landmark
case, a Michigan federal judge
forced Grand Valley State
College administrators to pay the
$250 rental fee for a X-rated film
a student group wanted to show.
The college routinely had paid
film rental fees in the past, but
didn't want to fund a por-
nographic film.
Even student groups have
shied away from outright
bannings. In the last six months,
student politicians at Penn,
Hawaii, Arizona State and even
Virginia rejected measures that
would have barred X-rated films.
Hoping to steer a middle
course, the Cal-Santa Barbara
student government in 1983
voted to allow showing por-
nographic films, but to require
they be preceded by a 10-minute
educational program on the
subject.
Artist of the
Month Named
Christy Crews Dunn, a
junior art major from Victoria,
is Longwood College's Artist of
the Month for October.
Her award-winning work is a
pen-and-ink drawing entitled
"Brown's Landing." It is the
artist's representation of a
certain spot, located at Brown's
Landing, NC, which she says
"always induces a meditative
mood in me. With a few
liberties with time, space, and
'terraforming,' I have tried to
give the viewer some of what 1
have received."
Mrs. Dunn received a cash
award of $50, and her drawing
is on display in the first floor
hallway of the Bedford Art
Building at Longwood through
October 31.
Mrs. Dunn is interested in
many forms of art, including
crafts, graphics, calligraphy,
photography, and painting, as
well as drawing. She hopes to
be an independent studio artist,
working in a variety of media.
The Artist of the Month
competition is open to all
students taking art classes at
Longwood; the winning work
is selected by members of the
art faculty. Through the
program, more than $1,200
has been awarded to young
artists of extraordinary ability.
Second place in this month's
competition went to Renie
Triarhous for her hand-pieced
and hand-quilted quilt square,
"Colonial Rising Star," Third
place went to Robin Brown for
her ink-and-pencil drawing on
handmade paper, entitled
"Innocence of Youth."

WHAT WOULD TNI ffRUU ACCOMKISNT
The first step In reversing the nuclear arms race is
stopping it, A freeze is an agreement to stop. A U5. -
Soviet freeze on ttie testing, production, and deployment
of nuclear weapons would:
• End the momentum of the arms race which is push-
ing us towards a nuclear tragedy of unprecedented
proportions.
• Halt the development of first-strike and less verifi-
able weapons.
• Provide a first step toward genuine, overall reductions
In the nuclear stockpiles of twth countries.
• Reduce tensions between the US. and USSR, lead-
ing to a decrease in tensions wrarldwide.
• Improve the prospects for stopping the spread of
nuclear weapons to other countries.
• Stimulate our economy by diverting funds from
inflationarv and unproductive military projects to
programs that create more Jobs and meet
human needs.
• Increase national and international security.

CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Number 10
Cuomo's Keynote Address Sounds Important Themes
Editor's Note: At 9:35 on
Monday;. Jul\; 16. I sat in the Frazer
TV lobb\^ watching the Democratic
National Convention which was
being held in San Francisco that
week Depression was beginning to
overwhein) me. I had supported
San Francisco Ma\;or Diane
Feinstein for the Vice Presidential
nomination with Gar\; Hart as a
close second choice. Fritz Mandate,
the heir apparent to the Presidential
nomination, had chosen Geraldine
Ferraro from New York amid a /ury
of controuers}; . In addition to this.
Mondale had thrown himself into
further controversy; . more or less a
frenz\; of ruffled feathers, by an-
nouncing that Burt Lance would be
the new Democratic Part[,< Chair-
man. The convention hadn't even
begun and there were doubts that
Mondale could get out of it with the
full support of his part];. It was a bad
scene
I sat there that night and watched
Jimm\; Carter give a speech to the
throng of Democrats He looked
old. His hair was all white — his face
was lined and leathery He looked
nothing like the Carter Americans
had elected in 1976 Yet his speech
wasn't old He talked about hope:
hope for the Part}; and for America.
His face brightened up some as he
spoke In fact, before Carter left the
platform I thought / caught a
glimpse of the fightin' peanut farmer
who led Begin and Sadat to the
Camp David Accords.
Still, at 9:35. as Jimm\; hugged
Rosahn and Dan Rather droned on
in his montone voice. 1 was
depressed. It just didn't look good.
Too man\; problems, too many
worries. Mondale. my brain had led
me to believe, didn't have much of a
chance. I had decided that Ronald
Reagan, the fascist pig he is would
win the November 6 election. But in
the next forty-five minutes, despair
flew into a turbulent rage of hope
and conviction. I was thrown into
commitment all over again, and by
10:20. I was sure that Walter
Mondale would be the next
President of the 'United States of
America.
The key to my flight from despair
was a speech. Specifically, the
keynote address of New York
Governor Mario Cuomo. The man
had given me something He had
shown me faith. Faith that the
American people would drag
Reagan out of office by his gold cuff
links on November 6 Faith that this
nation would change the course it
was on Faith that 'four more years'
would be only a ghostly spectre
driven away in a few short months
The editorial board of The
Rotunda hardly expects Longwood
students to have a similar reaction,
but we felt Cuomo's address im-
portant enough to voters to print it
in full in this election issue. It says a
lot — about Reagan and about
America. It is printed here for your
consideration.
As we go into election week, we
have much to consider. We must
decide which candidate we will
choose to influence the next thirty or
forty years of our lives by appointing
a large number of Supreme Court
justices. We must choose which
candidate we want to handle the
situations in El Salvador and
Nicaragua. We must choose which
candidate we want to face questions
such as abortion. ERA. and school
prayer. It is important only that we
choose, yet choose with as much
forethought and intelligence as
possible. So enjoy Cuomo's words:
we hope they will help you make
your choice, but don't take it
lightly — it is very critical indeed.
On behalf of the Empire State and
the family of New York, I thank you
for the great privilege of being
allowed to address this convention.
Please allow me to skip the stories
and the poetry and the temptation
to deal in nice but vague rhetoric.
Let me instead use this valuable
opportunity to deal with the
questions that should determine this
election and that are vital to the
American people.
Ten days ago, President Reagan
admitted that although some people
in this country seemed to be doing
well nowadays, others were
unhappy, and even worried, about
themselves, their families and their
futures.
The President said he didn't
understand that fear. He said,
"Why, this country is a shining city
on a hill."
The President is right. In many
ways we are "a shining city on a
hill."
But the hard truth is that not
everyone is sharing in this city's
splendor and glory.
A shining city is perhaps all the
President sees from the portico of
the White House and the veranda of
his ranch, where everyone seems to
be doing well.
But there's another part of the
city, the part where some people
can't pay their mortgages and most
young people can't afford one,
where students can't afford the
education they need and middle-
class parents watch the dreams they
hold for their children evaporate.
In this part of the city there are
more poor than ever, more families
in trouble More and more people
who need help but can't find it.
Even worse: There are elderly
people who tremble in the
basements of the houses there.
There are people who sleep in the
city's streets, in the gutter, where
the glitter doesn't show.
There is Despair, Mr. President'
There are ghettos where
thousands of young people, without
an education or a job, give their lives
away to drug dealers every day.
There is despair, Mr. President, in
faces you never see, in the places
you never visit in your shining city.
In fact, Mr. President, this nation
is more a "Tale of Two Cities" than
it is a "Shining City on a Hill."
Maybe if you visited more places,
Mr. President, you'd understand.
Maybe if you went to Appalachia
where some people still live in sheds
New York Governor Mario Cuomo
and to Lackawanna where
thousands of unemployed steel
workers wonder why we subsidized
foreign steel while we surrender
their dignity to unemployment and
to welfare checks; maybe if you
stepped into a shelter in Chicago
and talked with some of the
homeless there; maybe, Mr
President, if you asked a woman
who'd been denied the help she
needs to feed her children because
you say we need the money to give
a tax break to a millionaire or to
build a missile we can't even afford
to use — maybe then you'd un-
derstand
Maybe, Mr. President
But I'm afraid not.
Because, the truth is. this is how
we were warned it would be.
President Reagan told us from the
beginning that he believed in a kind
of social Darwinism. Survival of the
fittest. "Government can't do
everything," we were told. "So it
should settle for taking care of the
strong and hope that economic
ambition and charity will do the rest.
Make the rich richer and what falls
from their table will be enough for
the middle class and those trying to
make it into the middle class."
The Republicans called it trickle-
down when Hoover tried it. Now
they call it supply side. It is the same
shining city for those relative few
who are lucky enough to live in its
good neighborhoods.
But for the people who arc ex-
cluded—locked out— all they can do
is to stare from a distance at that
city's glimmering towers.
It's an old story^ As old as our
history.
'Courage and Confidence'
The difference between
Democrats and Republicans has
always been measured in courage
and confidence. The Republicans
believe the wagon train will not
make it to the frontier unless some
of our old, some of our young and
some of our weak are left behind by
the side of the trail.
The strong will inherit the land!
We Democrats believe that we
can make it all the way with the
whole family intact.
We have. More than once.
Ever since Franklin Roosevelt
lifted himself from his wheelchair to
lift this natiorvfrom its knees. Wagon
train after wagon train. To new
frontiers of education, housing,
peace. The whole family aboard.
Constantly reaching out to extend
and enlarge that family Lifting them
up into the wagon on the way.
Blacks and Hispanics, people of
every ethnic group, and Native
Americans — all those struggling to
build their families claim some small
share of America
For nearly 50 years we carried
them to new levels of comfort,
security, dignity, even affluence.
Some of us are in this room today
only because this nation had that
confidence.
It would be wrong to forget that.
*To Save the Nation'
So, we are at this convention to
remind ourselves where we come
from and to claim the future for
ourselves and for our children
Today, our great Democratic
Party, which has saved this nation
from depression, from fascism, from
racism, from corruption, is called
upon to do it again — this time to
save the nation from confusion and
division, from the threat of eventual
fiscal disaster and most of all from a
fear of a nuclear holocaust.
In order to succeed, we must
answer our opponent's polished and
appealing rhetoric with a more
telling reasonableness and
rationality.
We must win this case on the
merits.
We must get the American public
to look past the glitter, beyond the
showmanship— to reality, to the
hard substance of things And we
will do that not so much with
speeches that sound good as with
speeches that are good and sound.
Not so much with speeches that
bring people to their feet as with
speeches that bring people to their
senses.
We must make the American
people hear our "talc of two cities."
We must convince them that we
don't have to settle for two cities,
that we can have one city, in-
divisble, shining for all its people.
We will have no chance to do that
if what comes out of this con-
vention, what is heard throughout
the campaign, is a babel of arguing
voices.
To succeed we will have to
surrender small parts of our in-
dividual interests, to build a platform
we can all stand on, at once,
comfortably, proudly singing out the
truth for the nation to hear, in
chorus, its logic so clear and
commanding that no slick com-
mercial, no amount of geniality, no
martial music will be able to muffle
it.
The Lucky and the Left Out'
We Democrats must unite so that
the entire nation can Surely the
Republicans won't bring the con-
vention together. Their policies
divide the nation: into the lucky and
the left-out, the royalty and the
rabble
The Republicans are willing to
treat that division as victory. They
would cut this nation in half, into
those temporarily better off and
those worse off than before, and call
it recovery.
We should not be embarrassed or
dismayed if the process of unifying is
difficult, even at times wrenching.
Unlike any other party, we
embrace men and women of every
color, every creed, every orien-
tation, every economic class. In our
family are gathered everyone from
the abject poor of Essex County in
New York, to the enlightened af-
fluent of the gold coasts of both ends
of our nation And in between is the
heart of our constituency The
middle class, the people not rich
enough to be worry-free but not
poor enough to be on welfare, those
who work for a living because they

Mondale Endorsed
Over the past two months I've made a conscious effort
not to be insulting or negative to the President of the United
States of America. Over and over again I've told myself
"Don't be nasty. Be pleasant, convincing, and ... ultimately
boring." This final realization has led to hopeless failure in my
endeavors.
No one is convinced by straight statistics on the
President. His record is beyond reproach, or it should be; in
the eyes of students, blacks, women, laborers, educators,
and even the President's own minority group, the elderly,
Reagan should be nothing more at this stage in the game
than a very bad joke told by the voters of 1980. Yet Reagan's
bandwagon rolls on— and even those who've been rolled
over are anxious to hop on. There's absolutely no way to
convince people what the man truly stands for. except by
calling a rose a rose. In this case, by calling a thorn a thorn.
Ronald Reagan has driven this country to believe that it
is proud, strong, and free "once again," and he has hyped
himself up to be some mystical guru who brought all of this to
us, absolutely free-of-charge. Now, in 1984, all the people
have to do is dial 1-800-VOTE-RON. Operators will be
standing by on November 6. That's 1-800-VOTE-RON,
that's 1-800-vote-ron, that's 1-800-vote-ron, that's
And the President deserves his first Oscar for the acting he's
doing. Unfortunately Reagan stands for an America which
most of us believe to be long gone.
In an October 30, editorial, the Village Voice said of the
President; "Reagan is heir to an ugly legacy concealed
behind his smiling face and upbeat rhetoric. His political
forebears opposed ... the rights of blacks, Hispanics, and
women to full citizenship. They opposed Social Security,
Medicare, food stamps. Head Start, [and] student loans...
Their reactionary testament was conceived long before
Reagan became its executor, but he has remained faithful to
it."
CoMege Press Service
Reagan has not brought the country to a position of
strength. He has propped it up with Media hype, deficit
spending, and a dangerous foreign policy. The U.S. is as a
fragile scarecrow in the wind with Reagan at the helm, but we
are only able to see the giant smile on the scarecrow's potato-
sack head. It is senseless for student voters to help re-elect a
president who forced massive cuts in student loans, supports
a lowering of the minimum wage, supports a Constitutional
Amendment banning abortion, and is the candidate most
likely to lead this nation to war. The fact that we may make a
few more dollars a week with Reagan in office hardly justifies
his re-election.
And why vote for Mondale? Because Walter Mondale
will push for arms control and a nuclear freeze. Because
Walter Mondale will hold defense spending to sane levels.
He will stop the retreat of civil rights which Reagan began,
and he will strive to see the Equal Rights Amendment
become a reality. Mondale will stop the attack on the en-
vironment begun in 1980. And Walter Mondale will stop the
ludicrous practice of "trickle-down economics" which may
trickle to the depths of the middle class but no further.
Mondale is not the perfect candidate for the Presidency,
but he will be far more perfect than Ronald Reagan has been
in office. Mondale represents American workers; he
represents the common man. Further he represents policies
which are sorely needed in the United States after four years
with the Gipper.
On November 6, American voters may see through the
facade which Ronald Reagan's presidency truly is. If they do,
we will be able to get on with building a nation united; or we
may continue to build a nation of segmentation and despair.
We need only look closely to make the choice. On
November 6, we decide which path we shall take.

have to. White collar and blue
collar. Young professionals. Men
and women in small business
desperate for tfie capita! and
contracts they need to prove their
worth.
We speak for the minorities who
have not yet entered the main-
stream
For ethnics who want to add their
culture to the mosaic that is
America.
For women indignant that we
refuse to etch into our govern-
mental commandments, the simple
rule "thou shall not sin against
equality," a commandment so
obvious it can be spelled in three
letters: era!
For young people demanding an
education and a future.
For senior citizens terrorized by
the idea that their only security, their
Social Security, is being threatened.
For millions of reasoning people
fighting to preserve our en-
vironment from greed and stupidity.
And fighting to preserve our every
existence from a macho in-
transigence that refuses to make
intelligent attempts to discuss the
possibility of nuclear holocaust with
our enemy Refusing because they
believe we can pile missiles so high
that they will pierce the clouds and
the sight of them will frighten our
enemies into submission ,
'Proud of Diversity*
We're proud of this diversity.
Grateful we don't have to
manufacture its appearance the way
the Republicans will next month in
Dallas, by propping up mannequin
delegates on the convention floor.
But we pay a price for it.
The different people we represent
have nnany points of view.
Sometimes they compete and then
we have debates, even arguments.
That's what our primaries were
about.
But now the primaries are over,
and it is time to lock arms and move
into this campaign together.
If we need any inspiration to
make the effort to put aside our
small differences, all we need to do
is to reflect on the Republican policy
of divide and cajole and how it has
injured our land since 1980.
The President has asked us to
judge him on whether or not he's
fulfilled the promises he made four
years ago. I accept that. Just
consider what he said and what he's
done.
Inflation Is down since 1980. But
not because of the supply-side
miracle promised by the President.
Inflation was reduced the old-
fashioned way, with a recession, the
worst since 1932. More than 55,000
bankruptcies. Two years of massive
unemployment. Two-hundred -
thousand farmers and ranchers
forced off the land More homeless
than at any time sirtcc the Great
Depression, More hungry, more
poor— mostly women— and a
nearly $200 billion deficit
threatening[OUr future.
The President's deficit is a direct
and dramatic repudiation of his
promise to balance our budget by
1983
That deficit is the largest in the
history of this universe; more than
three times larger than the deficit in
President Carter's last year.
It is a deficit that, according to the
President's own fiscal adviser, could
grow as high as $300 billion a year,
stretching "as far as the eye can
see.
It is a debt so large that as much
as one-half of our revenue from the
income tax goes to pay the interest
on it each year.
'Mortgage on Children's Future'
It is a mortgage on our children's
futures that can only be paid in pain
and that could eventually bring this
nation to its knees.
Don't take my word for it— I'm a
Democrat
Ask the Republican investment
bankers on Wall Street what they
think the chances are this recovery
will be permanent. If they're not too
embarrassed to tell you the truth,
they'll say they are appalled and
frightened by the President's deficit.
Ask them what they think of our
economy, now that it has been
driven by the distorted value of the
dollar back to its colonial condition,
exporting agricultural products and
importing manufactured ones.
Ask those Republican investment
bankers what they expect the in-
terest rate to be a year from now.
And ask them what they predict for
the inflation rate then.
How important is this question of
the deficit?
Think about it: What chance
would the Republican candidate
have had in 1980 if he had told the
American people that he intended
to pay for his so-called economic
recovery with bankruptcies,
unemployment and the largest
Government debt known to
humankind? Would American
voters have signed the loan cer-
tificate for him on Election Day? Of
course not! It was an election won
with smoke and mirrors, with
illusions. It is a recovery made of the
same stuff.
And what about foreign policy?
They said they would make us
and the whole world safer. They say
they have.
By creating the largest defense
budget in history, one even they
now admit is excessive By
escalating to a frenzy the nuclear
arms race. By incendiary rhetoric.
By refusing to discuss peace with
our enemies. By the loss of 279
young Americans in Lebanon in
pursuit of a plan and a policy no one
can find or describe.
We give monies to Latin
American governments that murder
nuns, and then lie about it.
We have been less than zealous in
our support of the only real friend
we have in the Middle East, the one
democracy there, our flesh and
blood ally, the state of Israel.
Our policy drifts with no real
direction, other than an hysterical
commitment to an arms race that
leads nowhere, if we're lucky. If
we're not — could lead us to
bankruptcy or war.
Of course we must have a strong
defense!
Of course Democrats believe that
there are times when we must stand
and fight And we have Thousands
of us have paid for freedom with our
lives. But always, when we've been
at our best, our purposes were clear
'Our Allies Are Confused*
Now they're not. Now our allies
are as confused as our enemies.
Now we have no real com-
mitment to our friends or our ideals
to human rights, to the rcfusenicks.
to Sakharov, to Bishop Tutu and
the others struggling for freedom in
South Africa.
We have spent more than we can
afford. We have pounded our
chests and made bold speeches. But
we lost 279 young Americans in
Lebanon and we are forced to live
behind sand bags in Washington.
How can anyone believe that we
are stronger, safer or better?
That's the Republican record.
That its disastrous quality is not
more fully understood by the
American people is attributable. I
think, to the President's amiability
and the failure by some to separate
the salesman from the product.
'Make the Case to America'
It's now up to us to make the case
to America.
And to remind Americans that if
they are not happy with all the
President has done so far, they
should consider how much worse it
will be if he is left to his radical
proclivities for another four years
unrestrained by the need once again
to come before the American
people.
If July brings back Anne Gorsuch
Burford, - what can we expect of
December?
Where would another four years
take us?
How much larger will the deficit
be?
How much deeper the cuts in
programs for the struggling middle
class and the poor to limit that
deficit? How high the interest rates?
How much more acid rain killing our
forests and fouling our lakes?
What kind of Supreme Court?
What kind of court and country will
be fashioned by the man who
believes in having government
mandate people's religion and
morality?
The man who believes that trees
pollute the environment, that the
laws against discrimination go too
far. The man who threatens Social
Security and Medicaid and help for
the disabled.
How high will we pile the
missiles?
How much deeper will be the gulf
between us and our enemies?
Will we make meaner the spirit of
our people?
This election will measure the
record of the past four years. But
more than that, it will answer the
question of what kind of people we
want to be.
We Democrats still have a dream.
We still believe in this nation's
future.
A 'Credo' for the Democrats
And this is our answer— our
credo;
We believe in only the govern-
ment we need, but we insist on all
the government we need
We believe in a government
characterized by fairness and
reasonableness, a reasonableness
that goes beyond labels, that doesn't
distort or promise to do what it
knows it can't do.
A government strong enough to
use the words "love" and "com-
passion" and' smart enough to
convert our noblest aspirations into
practical realities.
We believe in encouraging the
talented, but we believe that while
survival of the fittest may be a good
working description of the process
of evolution, a government of
humans should elevate itself to a
higher order, one which fills the
gaps left by chance or a wisdom we
don't understand.
We would rather have laws
written by the patron of this great
city, the man called the "world's
most sincere Democrat," St. Francis
of Assisi. than laws written by
Darwin.
We believe, as Democrats, that a
society as blessed as ours, the most
affluent democracy in the world's
history, that can spend trillions on
instruments of destruction, ought to
be able to help the middle class in its
struggle, ought to be able to find
work for all who can do it, room at
the table, shelter for the homeless,
care for the elderly and infirm, hope
for the destitute.
'Peace Is Better Than War'
We proclaim as loudly as we can
the utter insanity of nuclear
proliferation and the need for a
nuclear freeze, if only to affirm the
simple truth that peace is better than
war because life is better than death.
We believe in firm but fair law and
order, in the union movement, in
privacy for people, openness by
government, civil rights, and human
rights.
We believe in a single fun-
damental idea that describes better
than most textbooks and any speech
what a proper government should
be. The idea of family. Mutuality.
The sharing of benefits and burdens
for the good of all. Feeling one
another's pain. Sharing one
another's blessings. Reasonably,
honestly, fairly, without respect to
race, or sex. or geography or
polrtical affiliation.
We believe we must be the family
of America, recognizing that at the
heart of the matter we are bound
one to another, that the problems of
a retired school teacher in Duluth
are our problems. That the future of
the child in Buffalo is our future.
The struggle of a disabled man in
Boston to survive, to live decently is
our struggle. The hunger of a
woman in Little Rock, our hunger.
The failure anywhere to provide
what reasonably we might, to avoid
pain, is our failure
For 50 years we Democrats
created a better future for our
children. using traditional
democratic principles as a fixed
beacon, giving us direction and
purpose, but constantly innovating,
adapting to new realities;
RcKwevelts alphabet programs:
Truman's NATO and the Gl Bill of
Rights: Kennedy's intelligent tax
incentives and the Alliance For
Progress; Johnson's civil rights:
Carter's human rights and the nearly
miraculous Camp David peace
accord
Democrats did it.— and
Democrats can do it again
We can build a future that deals
with our deficit.
Remember. 50 years of progress
never cost us what the last four
years of stagnation have. We can
deal with that deficit intelligently, by
shared sacrifice, with all parts of the
nation's family contributing, building
partnerships with the private sector,
providing a sound defense without
depriving ourselves of what we need
to feed our children and care for our
people.
We can have a future that
provides for all the young of the
present by marrying common sense
and compassion.
We know we can, because we did
it for nearly 50 years before 1980.
'We Can Do It Again'
We can do it again. If we do not
forget. Forget that this entire nation
has profited by these progressive
principles. That they helped lift up
generations to the middle class and
higher: gave us a chance to work, to
go to college, to raise a family, to
own a house, to be secure in our old
age and. before that, to reach
heights that our own parents would
not have dared dream of.
That struggle to live with dignity is
the real story of the shining city. It's
a story I didn't read in a book, or
learn in a classroom. I saw it, and
lived it. Like many of you.
I watched a small man with thick
calluses on both hands work 15 and
16 hours a day. I saw him once
literally bleed from the bottoms of
his feet, a man who came here
uneducated, alone, unable to speak
the language, who taught me all I
needed to know about faith and
hard work by the simple eloquence
of his example I learned about our
kind of democracy from my father. I
learned about our obligation to each
other from him and from my
mother. They asked only for a
chance to work and to make the
world better for their children and to
be protected in those moments
when they would not be able to
protect themselves This nation and
its government did that for them.
And that they were able to build a
family and live in dignity and see
one of their children go from behind
their little grocery store on the other
side of the tracks in south Jamaica
where he was born, to occupy the
highest seat in the greatest state of
the greatest nation in the only world
we know, is an ineffably beautiful
tribute to the democratic process.
And on Jan. 20. 1985, it will
happen again. Only on a much
grander scale. We will have a new
President of the United States, a
Democrat born not to the blood of
kings but to the blood of immigrants
and pioneers
We will have America's first
woman Vice President, the child of
immigrants, a New Yorker, opening
with one magnificent stroke a whole
new frontier for the United States
It will happen, if we make it
happen
I ask you. ladies and gentlemen,
brothers and sisters. — for the good
of all of us. for the love of this great
nation, for the family of America,
for the love of God Please make
this nation remember how futures
are built

Defense Writer Discusses U. S. Foreign Policy

Charles Corddry visited Longwood last week.
Reagan Is Better Candidate
By Frank Raio
One week from today, barring
any sudden earthshaking event
and assuming that America has
not been lying to its pollsters,
Ronald Reagan will be re-elected
to the highest office in the land.
By all accounts, Reagan is very
popular for a man who has
served as President of the United
States. Very few of our more
recent Chief Executives have
enjoyed this kind of confidence
and support. What is it about
Reagan that makes the people of
America so satisfied?
Firstly, let us establish this
level of satisfaction of the people
with President Reagan. The
most recent Lou Harris poll gives
the incumbent a fourteen
percentage point lead over the
Democratic challenger Walter
Mondale. An ABC News
Washington Post survey gives
Reagan a 54% share while
Mondale can only count on 42%
of the voting public. Peter D.
Hart, Mondale's own pollster,
reports that his findings are
similar to the latter poll and
comments about Reagan's
"remarkable consistency [in the
Continued on page 5
The so-called Star Wars defense system
represents the first "radical change" in U.S.
national security policy since World War II, a
defense expert told a Longwood College audience
recently.
"I don't know whether it would work, and 1 don't
know whether it's needed," Charles Corddry said
of the proposed system. "But I do know the
Russians are worried. And 1 do know that you'll
hear about this for a long, long time."
Corddry, defense correspondent for The
Bahinnore Sun. lectured at Longwood Oct. 24. He
and his wife Marion, a public relations consultant
and freelance writer, spent the week of Oct. 21-26
on the Longwood campus as Woodrow Wilson
Visiting Fellows.
The controversial system— dubbed 'Star Wars"
because it would be space-based— has become an
issue in the presidential campaign. President
Reagan favors research into the proposal, believing
it might prevent a nuclear holocaust. Challenger
Walter Mondale opposes the idea; during the
recent debate he asked that we "draw a line to keep
the heavens free of war."
Although the idea "seems rather fantastic," said
Corddry, "it can't be dismissed out of hand." Even
if Mondale wins the election, research into the Star
Wars concept will continue, though at a slower
pace than under a Reagan administration. The
Soviets will try to match us, but currently they lag
far behind in this technology, he said.
Corddry, who attended the Kansas City debate,
said that President Reagan "scored a debating
point" when asked whether he would share the
technology with the Soviets. Reagan's response
was "Why not?" Corddry quoted columnist William
Safire, who wrote that Kansas City "will be
remembered... as the place where a pregnant
question was asked that could start to make the
world a safer place."
Research Project
Since World War II, our foreign policy has been
marked by "a consistency and continuity. In
nuclear terms, the policy has been retaliation to
prevent war. deterrence by prospect of retaliation. . .
Our policy is to deter by being prepared to retaliate
if attacked."
The policy was developed by President Harry
Truman and Secretary of State George C. Marshall
shortly after World War II, The "critical day" oc-
curred in March 1947 with the announcement of
the Truman Doctrine, which vowed to support free
peoples who were resisting armed aggression inside
their country or from an outside group. The policy
continued to develop with the Marshall Plan, the
Brussels Pact, and the formation of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ,
Thus far, Corddry said in an interview, this policy
has borne fruit.
"I don't think nuclear war is the least bit im-
minent, I don't think it's the least bit likely. The
post-World War II policy of deterrence has worked
so far. This is a very long period without a major
conflict. Nuclear weapons are a frightening thing,
yet they deter war."
He described the nuclear freeze position as "a
slogan rather than a policy," and said that
"Mondale's not clear how he'd go about it.
Reagan's policy on nuclear weapons, for the most
part, is the same as President Carter's policy." he
said.
Corddry argued that the U.S. military is stronger
in 1984 than it was in 1980. "I don't see how you
could argue otherwise. We have better troops;
they're better educated, better paid, better trained.
And we have better equipment than we did four
years ago."
"It may be that we've never been more secure
and felt less so." This feeling stems from uncertainty
surrounding the intentions and sentiments of Soviet
leaders, said Corddry.
A research project involving
local business leaders is being
planned and implemented by
faculty and students of
Longwood College's depart-
ment of business and
economics.
Dr. Larry Minks and Dr.
Wayne McWee are directing the
project which is co-sponsored by
the Farmville Town Council, the
Farmville Area Development
Corporation, the Chamber of
Commerce, and the department
of business and economics.
A questionnaire has been
developed to gather information
that can be used as a basis for
community planning and in-
dustrial development, according
to Mike Lafoon, Town Coun-
cilman. "This is an important
step in our community cer
tification program," he said.
"Its going to take a little time
to complete the questionnaire,"
Lafoon said, "but this is a very
worthwhile effort 1 would urge
all business leaders who are
contacted to cooperate . "
Dr. Minks said that a research
report, containing a summary of
findings from the questionnaires,
will be prepared Copies of the
report will be made available to
all participants in the study

polls] over the past five months."
This lack of variation in the polls
during the campaign solidifies
my confidence in a decisive
mandate for President Reagan
next week. I am not alone in this
belief. The White House feels
secure enough with its lead to
dispatch George Bush around
the country to aid Republican
House members who are facing
particularly heavy competition in
their races. President Reagan
will carry the bulk of the national
campaign duties for the next
world and honor the boys who
act as our agents abroad. Could
the attacks on our Marines have
been prevented? No amount of
security could provide protection
against such suicide attacks.
Hindsight is wonderful, but any
President during this time would
have been faced with the same
options: send troops as we were
asked to or turn our backs to the
Middle East, One cannot
reasonably blame the President
for the deaths in Lebanon and
most Americans do not.
What next? Should I explain
The U. S. is the leader of the free world. As long as we
maintain this role and as long as conflict-ridden areas
require such support the U. S. will be morally obligated to
lend a hand and, yes, sometimes even their lives to these
troubled spots.
seven days. 1 thought that I
would give my candidate a little
help on the Longwood front (as
if our poll indicates the need for
such boost) .
The President's foreign policy
■ stance has been widely debated
by the public. Americans will
never agree upon how to insure
security and peace among
nations. Did we have an
obligation to send troops to
Lebanon as part of the allied
peacekeeping force? Of course
we did. The U.S. is the leader of
the free world. As long as we
maintain this role and as long as
'< conflict-ridden areas require
such support, the U.S. will be
morally obligated to lend a hand
and, yes, sometimes even their
lives to these troubled spots.
Most Americans accept these
facts, take pride in our position
in the why it is imperative for the
United States to counter strong
Communist influence in the
unstable South American region
with economic and military aid,
negotiation assistance and
military advisers? Shall 1 explain
the difficulties of negotiating with
the three Soviet leaders who
have spent more time on bed
pans and saline solutions than
they have at desks near the red
phone during Reagan's term?
1 could go round and round
with these foreign policies. What
it boils down to for most
Americans is that Ronald
Reagan, the man, was decisive
and strong during these crises.
This is the kind of leadership that
America needs today. A New
York Times -CBS News poll last
week showed mixed feelings
about our policies in South
America, Lebanon and toward
progress in arms control, but the
President scored extremely well
on leadership abilities. With the
world as complex and un-
predictable as it is, voters must
look at the leadership abilities of
the candidates and pick the best
person they can. I think this is
what confuses the analysts and
the Democrats. Americans are
looking at the overall picture and
are choosing Ronald Reagan for
his decisiveness and confidence.
We do not know what problems
are ahead internationally, but we
do know who we want to serve
as our guide
On dom.estic policy, Reagan's
position is easy, perhaps even
unnecessary, to push. All
economic indicators are
Reagan's allies. The economy of
the United States is in the best
shape it has been in the memory
of many voting Americans.
Employment is up, inflation and
interest rates are down. Most
Americans agree that they are
indeed better off than they were
four years ago.
We more moderate
Americans can rest easy about
our concerns with Reagan's
conservative views on social
issues. Our system of checks and
balances, giving the legislative
branch a definite edge
domestically, eliminates my only
real doubt about Reagan as
Chief Executive. The Congress,
particularly the House, ef-
fectively neutralize Reagan's
unpopular anti-abortion, and
pro-prayer in school views. Also
it seems that President Reagan
doesn't push this type of
legislation as hard as he does
other, more widely accepted
issues. Believing this, Americans
can dismiss moral-legislation as
irrelevant in the campaign.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, October 30, 1984
Your Turn: Rotunda Editorial Opposed
To the Editors'
This letter serves two pur-
poses; it is an attempt to offer
The Rotunda readers an op-
posing view to the articles that
have proliferated The Rotunda
In recent weeks and it is my
attempt to see if The Rotunda is
the kind of paper that prints
opposing viewpoints.
This letter is in response to the
onslaught of liberal Democratic
articles which have appeared in
The Rotunda in recent weeks. I
have read articles which rave
about Mr. Mondale and strongly
satirize and degrade President
Reagan. I have read articles
written by passivists who are
preaching pessimism and the
policy of concession to the
Russians. I have sat back and
said to myself that each person is
entitled to their opinion and that
1 should not let these liberal
articles upset me. However,
things changed abruptly last
week when I read Jeff Aber-
r^athy's article entitled "Standing
TqH in a Milk Pail. I read this
article, which is plainly political
and anti Reagan, and decided
that I could no longer ignore this
barrage of Democratic passivistic
.articles, it is time that the
students and the staff here at
L,ongwood heard from someone
who sits on the other end of the
political spectrum. It is time that
the staff of Longwood College
became aware that there are
students here who are proud to
be American, people who realize
the extent of the Russian threat
and who are willing to defend
our country against any enemy
who dares to challenge our
freedom. It is time that the
students heard from someone
who supports President Reagan
and his policies. I am one of
those people. I have served my
country for three years in the
United States Marine Corps and
am presently enrolled in the
Army R.O.T.C. program here at
Longwood I plan to dedicate
my life to defending this great
country against the Communist
scourge that now threatens us. 1
am a right-wing Republican and
proud of it.
I am in total disagreement with
Abernathy on almost every
serious aspect of his article
except for the part where he
points out that President
Reagan's policies are alarming
and hostile to our enemies. That
is how it should be. The Russian
Government is our enemy and
should be treated as such.
Abernathy says that "Ronald
Reagan has done more to
arouse the hostilities of countless
nations than any U. S. President
in decades...". 1 say "Good for
him", it proves that President
Reagan is the first President in
decades who had the stomach to
face the Russians and tell them,
in so many words, that their days
of expansion were over.
I want to express my disgust at
the parallels drawn between
Vietnam and Central America.
Vietnam was roughly 10.000
miles away while Nicaragua is
closer to Texas and Florida than
Washington is to them. The
parallel to Vietnam and Central
America is totally false and
unfounded. While it is true that
we may lose many fine soldiers
down there it is important to
point out four major facts that
MJA and those who agree with
him conveniently overlooked.
First, the distance to Nicaragua is
so small that it would enable us
to keep our supply and logistic
infrastructure within the confines
of the United States, where as in
Vietnam we had to transfer it
halfway around the world.
Secondly, replacement of troops
would be far easier because we
would have the entire con-
tinental forces to throw at them
and transportation to and from
Nicaragua would take hours
instead of days. Thirdly, the
Russians would have to cross the
ocean and come into our
'backyard' to supply their troops,
a precarious situation to say the
least, whereas in Vietnam we
had to do the ocean crossing.
Finally, we now possess a
VOLUNTEER Army made up of
people who WANT to serve their
country, people who are
WILLING to die for their country
if need be, where as in Vietnam
we had the draft. The parallel
between Vietnam and Central
America is non-existent and
those who express it are wrong
to do so.
I was amused at Abernathy's
surprise that we have 1,900
whole troops in Central America
(obviously he didn't count those
in Panama). Did he bother to
find out how many "advisors"
the Russians and the Cubans
have there? Probably not. but
even if he did he did not think it
important enough to mention.
Finally I want to say that
Abernathy hit the nail right on
the head, even though he
sought to be sarcastic, when he
said that there is no sense in
fooling around in Nicaragua like
we did in Vietnam 20 years ago.
Let's inform them that their
alliance with the Russians will
not to be tolerated. Let's give
them the chance to get rid of the
Russians themselves. If they
cannot do it let's send in the
troops to help them. We have
the power and the right to do so.
Hopefully the liberal Congress,
that is temporarily controlled by
the DemcKrats, will allow the
generals to do their jobs and run
the war so that we can win.
Liberal Congress messed
Vietnam up for us and that in
itself is reason enough to re-elect
Ronald Reagan. We need a
Commander-in-Chief who acts
like a Commander-in-Chief. We
need a man who will run the war
like it should be run and not
allow the politicians to mess it up
with their rhetoric.
We NEED Ronald Reagan
and I am sure that we will have
him for FOUR MORE YEARS.
I, for one, am willing to
defend my country and even to
die for it if need be.
J. Andrew O'Connor
Editor's Note: I aw overjoyed
to find that killing, as well as
d\/ing, will be easier in a conflict
in Central America. However, it
still looks to me like Vietnam 11,

Colleges Take AIM During Alcohol Awareness Week
Focusing on the theme
"Alcohol in Moderation," (AIM),
campus activities throughout the
state will urge responsible
decision making regarding the
use and non-use of alcoholic
beverages in the second annual
Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
Week.
The week highlights ongoing
efforts by public and private
colleges, government agencies
involved in alcohol related
issues, and the state's malt
beverage industry to inform
college students and all
Virginians about the personal
and legal problems associated
with excessive alcohol use.
At Longwood, a number of
special events and contests are
scheduled during Alcohol
Awareness Week A student
who is a recovering alcoholic will
speak, and the Alcohol Care
Center will host an open house
There will be a bulletin board
contest in the residence halls,
with the winning area receiving
"fixings" for a non-alcoholic
party. "Take AIM" buttons will
be distributed to the students,
and Residence Education
Coordinators are planning
special programs in their
residence halls.
Barbara Gorski, interim
director of student activities, is
coordinating plans for the week.
She said that more than 300
posters dealing with the
responsible use of alcohol have
been ordered from several
different agencies. The posters
will be displayed in classrooms
and residence halls.
By Spencer Ferguson
The Strokers, who played at
Longwood Friday night, were
very professional in their
performance; but, they need
either to learn more cover songs
and drop most of their originals
or to spend more time on their
original material. Their original
songs, with the exception of
about four tunes, could easily be
dropped from their play list and
not be missed by anyone except
maybe the band members
themselves. The original songs
"Don't Tempt Me" and "Beyond
the Blue" brought a smile to my
face and continuous movement
to my body. These two songs
sounded so good compared to
the other originals that they had
to have been written by the same
band member, and they must be
the only two songs he wrote.
Other of the band's songs lacked
originality and drive. 1 realize
that with all the music that is out
today it is really hard to come up
with something new, but there
are bands that continue to do so.
Why can't The Strokers?
The Strokers began their show
with a great version of the
Stones' classic "Paint it iUack."
Other Stones' songs were
performed later, including
"Sympathy for the Devil,"
"Dancing with Mr. D." and
"Honky Tonk Women." I have
seen the Stones three times and
even they never had the
tightness that The Strokers had
with these tunes.
Other covers that were
performed during the night were
also done with finesse and even
a large degree of originality.
There is nothing worse than
seeing a band that plays covers
exactly as the original performers
on the record. The Strokers,
however, added their own
energy to all of these songs
which brought a new sound to
each of them. Any band that can
do such a waste song as "Dance
Hall Days" and make it sound
good definitely has a future in
the music business. The
highlight of The Strokers' show
was the fantastic version of
David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust"
from the 1972 album of the
same name. (Yes Longwood,
David Bowie was around in
1972.) This song brought chills
to my entire body. It was great.
To further show my age I must
mention the cover of "Closer to
Home," the Grand Funk
Railroad song from 1970. Grand
Funk may be gone today but in
their time they were hot, and
The Strokers did justice to this
song in every respect.
The overall show, with the
exception of a few slow
moments, was a success; but
would 1 pay to see them again?
Probably not

LC Hockey Ends Season
Longwood's field hockey
team closed out the 1984 season
on a winning note last Tuesday
with a 1-0 victory over Virginia
Tech in Blacksburq.
Sharon Bruce tallied the
decisive goal and sophomore
Sharon Smith notched a shutout
in her first start at goalkeeper.
Longwood totaled 25 shots to
11 for Virginia Tech and got
seven saves from Smith.
"Sharon played well for her
first start in goal," said Coach
Bette Harris of Smith, who had
just begun playing goalkeeper
toward the end of the season.
Bruce ended up with seven
goals and one assist to finish
second behind junior Sue Groff
in the Lady Lancer scoring race.
Groff finished the season with 11
goals and three assists. She now
has 28 career goals to rank
fourth among Longwood's all-
time scoring leaders. Just ahead
of her is Julie Dayton ('81) with
34 goals.
Freshman Traci Strickland
was Longwood's third leading
scorer with five goals while Pam
Esworthy collected two goals
and three assists.
A pair of freshmen
goalkeepers played well for
Longwood during the season.
Becky Hardin played in nine
games before being sidelined
with a broken finger. She
notched two shutouts and had a
goals against average of 1.44.
Rookie Haidee Shiflet had four
shutouts in eight games with a
goals against average of 1.38.
Longwood should return as
many as eight of 11 starters for
next season.

Longwood's men's soccer
team will wind up its 1984
regular season over the next
week against a pair of arch-
rivals. The Lancers visit
Hampden-Sydney Wednesday
for a 2:30 p.m. contest and host
Randolph-Macon next Monday
(Nov. 5) at 2 p.m.
The Lancers, 10-5-2, suffered
two losses last week and picked
up a forfeit win. Radford handed
Longwood a 3-2 setback
Wednesday on the road and
Saturday in the Gobbler Classic
host Virginia Tech captured a 2-
0 triumph. Coach Rich
Posipanko's team picked up a
forfeit win when Western
Carolina did not show up for the
tournament.
Since 1978 Longwood has
won five of eight meetings with
Hampden-Sydney. The last time
the Tigers came out on top was
1979 when Longwood fell by a
1-0 margin. The Lancers won
four straight until H-SC pulled
off a 2-2 tie last season. In an
earlier meeting this year in the
Southside Soccer Classic
Longwood took a 3-0 win .
Longwood and Randolph-
Macon have played six times
over the past six years with the
Yellow Jackets holding a 4-2
edge. The Lancers, however,
have won two of the last four
meetings.
The Lancers will have to snap
out of a recent slump if they
expect to beat the Tigers and
Yellow Jackets. Longwood has
lost three of its last four games
and has been shut-out in two of
those losses.
"We played terrible against
Tech," said Coach Rich
Posipanko. "We still have an
outside shot at postseason play
in either the state or in Division
II, but we'll have to play much
better if we expect to win these
last two games."

WUTA: Off Cue
By Barrett Baker
With Spanish teacher, Maria
Sylvara, as its advisor, and a
possible space allocation in the
Lankford Building, the WUTA
radio station will hopefully be
getting under construction by
late November, according to
WUTA President Kevin Sneed.
"It probably won't be in actual
operation until next semester,"
said Sneed. "Right now we're
waiting to see where they are
THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
Today a law is made -
Next year it may be repealed —
A Constitutional Amendment provides a guarantee. . .
THE COMPLETE TEXT OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate
legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of
ratification.
This year as never before the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT is one of
several important campaign issues. In a country where the majority of those in
poverty are women and children, the ERA assumes significance not only in
terms of fairness and justice but also in terms of economics.
Listed below are the candidates and their position on the Equal Rights
Amendment
CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT, U.S.A.
Ronald Reagan - against (Mr. Reagan is the first president to oppose the
ERA. The Republican Party had been a strong support of the ERA until 1980
when it was removed from the party platform when Reagan was running for
president.)
Walter Mondale for the ERA
CANDIDATES FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
George Bush against
Geraldine Ferraro • for
CANDIDATES FOR U. S. SENATE IN VIRGINIA
Edythe Harrison • for the ERA
John Warner against the ERA
The Virginia ERA Ratification Council does not endorse candidates since it
is a bipartisan organization composed of statewide groups who each have
ratification of the ERA as a top priority. It does, however, provide information on
the positions of candidates regarding the ERA. The Council urges each citizen to
become informed and to vote on November 6.
Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any State on account of sex.

going to put us and how much
money we can get from Student
Activities." The money will be
used for constructing a studio
and for new items such as a
mixer, new albums, and a
phone. Other costs will come
from moving and wiring the
equipment.
"Educational radio is the key,"
states Sneed. "We want to
include more information and a
greater variety of music. We
want to change the entire
program. We want faculty in-
volvement. We want Frater-
nity/Sorority involvement. We'd
like to get Janet Greenwood to
come in for commentary— a
kind of 'fireside chat' thing. It's
gonna be a totally redesigned
program." Sneed would also like
to change the Administrative
structure so that all leadership of
the station will not rest on one
person. He'd like to maintain a
system of checks and balances to
keep the station functional. This
would necessitate committees,
and rid the station of the
presidential and vice-
presidential positions.
According to Moffet Evans,
Technical Director of the Speech
and Dramatic Arts Department,
this change would be a welcome
sight. "1 like the idea of an
educational radio station on
campus," he said. "If it is run
right— it can be a very rewarding
experience. What they were
running last year was nothing
more than a party room. They'd
go up there and get drunk, then
they'd start jacking up the
volume and tearing up the
equipment. We finally had to
close the place down."
Apart from the station itself,
the people in question were
apparently disturbing the at-
mosphere surrounding the
Drama Department. Said Evans,
"Props and scenery were getting
torn up, equipment that was
borrowed either came back
broken or didn't come back at
all, the doors to Jarman were
getting left open, and the list
goes on. These people were
supposed to be serving the
community and they were
serving themselves. It had to
stop somewhere."
Evans stated that the Jarman
location must remain a working
broadcast studio for the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts' broadcasting
classes. The equipment in the
area must remain there for these
classes. If the station can be run
in a professional manner, Evans
suggested that they continue to
work in the Jarman studio.
Kevin Sneed, however, has
plans for WUTA to complete the
move — with the equipment in
Jarman: "Replacing their
equipment is not my problem,"
he said. "We are only taking
what's rightfully ours. If the
broadcasting people want to
come use our studio, then great,
maybe we can work something
out. In the meantime, I'm in no
position to go out of my way for
them."
Psychiatrist To Speak
Dr. George G. Ritchie, Jr., a
well-known psychiatrist here in
Virginia and elsewhere, will be
speaking at the Wesley Foun-
dation on Thursday evening,
November 1, at 7 p.m.
You are invited to hear this
very fine speaker talk about
death and dying. Dr. Ritchie's
topic will be "The Implications of
My Near Death Experiences."
Dr. Ritchie holds a number of
degrees, awards and prominent
positions in many medical
organizations. His medical and
psychiatry practice, and surgical
skills are known in this state. A
very informative and exciting
program will be shared by Dr
Ritchie and you will want to be
there.
All are invited to attend this
program.
The book "Return from
Tomorrow" was written by Dr.
Ritchie and is well known in the
area of death and dying

Will Finish Semester:
Dean Latta Resigns
By Lisa Jessup
Since the installation of the
Virginia Tech Library System
(VTLS), Martha LeStourgcon,
director of Lancaster Library,
has a goal to place computer
terminals in the dormitories and
in major academic departments
at Longwood College.
Seen as a future possibility,
the terminals would inable
students and faculty members
access to information on the
library's holdings without having
to come to the library.
This goal, however, is con-
tingent upon Longwood's
computer system. The library's
VTLS, along with other users in
the college, are all hooked into
the college's mainframe, a
Hewlett-Packard 3000. The
college's decision to purchase an
IBM computer would remove
most of the users from the
Hewlett-Packard and quite
possibly, the Hewlett-Packard
would then be donated to
Lancaster Library for their sole
use.
Currently, the VTLS houses
more than 49,000 bibliographic
records and more are constantly
being added. Library
acquisitions from 1977 were
catalogued in machine-readable
form and are now in the VTLS
data base. The older materials
are being added to the data base
as they circulate. Periodicals are
not in the database.
Mrs. LeStourgeon sees the
need for the card catalogue
diminishing over time. No new
cards were added to the
catalogue after 1983 but were
put directly into the VTLS data
base. Mrs. LeStourgeon advises
using both the on-line terminals
and the card catalogue since the
VTLS does not have access to
the library's entire collection as
of yet.
A library user can type in
directions to the terminals
located on the main floor to
receive information on a subject
area, an author, or a particular
book.
The terminals display in-
formation similar to the cards in
the catalogue. The system can
tell the user if the book is
available and its location —
whether on reserve, on the

Dr. William Latta decided late
last week to resign from his
position as Dean of Students at
Longwood College. Dean Latta
came to Longwood in July of
this year.
In an interview yesterday,
Latta stated that his reasons for
leaving have "nothing to do with
this school," but concern a
"personal matter ... it is a very
unfortunate situation." Latta's
resignation is effective shortly
after the current semester.
In four months at Longwood,
Latta has worked closely with
the Inter-Fraternal Council
(IFC), and the Resident Hall
staffs. In addition, Latta assisted
instituting the Community
Development programs which
were conducted on freshman
halls.
In a letter of resignation to
Vice-President Mable dated
November 11, Latta wrote, "To
confirm our discussion Thursday
(Nov. 8), at which time I ex-
plained my decision to resign...
It is a very difficult decision, and
one that was given many hours
of consideration ... due to the
change in family circumstance it
was necessary that I make this
choice."
In a phone interview
yesterday, Mable explained that
Latta "has resigned because his
wife has decided that she didn't
want to move to Farmville."
Latta's family is now living in
East Lansing, Michigan, where
he worked prior to taking the
Longwood post.
Though numerous members
of the faculty and administration
have been aware of the situation
since late last week, little effort
has been made to inform the
student body of Latta's decision.
One professor responded, "Oh,
is that out now?" and would only
say that he is "disappointed that
Latta is not finishing out the
year." One administrator,
however, denied knowledge of
Latta's decision. Don Winkler of
Public Affairs said yesterday that
he "didn't know anything about
it," and that his office had no
statement on the matter.
Latta's resignation has also
caused frustration among
students. Marcel Jimenez,
President of the IFC, said
yesterday, "Dean Latta did a
good job. He worked hard and I
think we accomplished a lot
during his time at Longwood. I
am very disappointed that he is
leaving."
Latta's resignation equally
concerns the Residence
Education Coordinators who
must work closely with the Dean
of Students' office. Doug
Samuels, the REC in Cox Hall,
said, "I'm sure that it will have a
few rippling effects... [Lattal did
achieve a lot while he was here
... it will have some effect on
everybody." Amy Thompson,
the REC in Frazier, looked
ahead optimistically, "Hopefully
the things that he has started will
be able to continue. I think he
has done an excellent job Iwith
the Community Development
Program], but there are a lot of
faculty and staff members who
will be able to carry it on and
keep it going."
Colonial Top 40 To Air
The "top tunes" of Colonial
Williamsburg will be the topic of
this year's second Faculty
Colloquium Lecture at
Longwood College.
Dr. John W. Molnar, head of
Longwood's music department
for 25 years prior to his
retirement in 1974, will give the
lecture on Wednesday,
November 14, at 7:30 p.m. in
Wygal Auditorium. The public is
invited to hear him discuss
"Music in Colonial Williams-
burg's Theathcr."
The lecture will be illustrated
by live and recorded examples
of the music heard and per-
formed by Williamsburg
residents in Colonial times.
Singers will be Dr. Louard
Egbert (head of Longwood's
music department), Dr. Patton
Lockwood (professor of speech
and dramatics arts), and Janet
Truitt Moore (a music student at
Longwood); they will be ac-
companied by Dr. Paul
Hesselink (associate professor of
music) at the harpsichord.
There was a great interest in
music in Colonial times, Dr.
Molnar said. This interest "was
stimulated" by the Williamsburg
theater's presentation of the
latest in stage fare from London.
The colonists were eager to
learn these songs and dances. In
addition to concerts and other
stage performances, theater
personnel also provided in-
struction. "The colonists and
their children took lessons so
that they could play the in-
struments and the music im-
ported from England," Dr.
Molnar said.
Dr. Molnar is the author of
Songs from the Williamsburg
Theater, published in 1972. The
book is a collection of 18th-
century theater songs, arranged
for voice and piano, with
historical and biographical in-
formation on each.
Longwood's music depart-
ment was greatly expanded
during Dr. Molnar's 25 years of
leadership. Degree programs in
music and music education were
developed, the department's
record library was begun (it now
numbers some 2,000 recor-
dings), and the Wygal Music
Building was planned and
constructed.
Dr. Molnar studied at the
Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music and holds undergraduate
and graduate degrees in music
education from the University of
Cincinnati. His orchestrations
have been performed by the
symphony orchestras in Cin-
cinnati, Arlington, and Norfolk.
He continues to arrange music
for choral and instrumental
groups, including the Longwood
band, the band at the College of
William and Mary, and the
Palace Orchestra in Williams-
burg.
Constitution Changes
Voted On
By Eric Houseknecht
Last Tuesday, November 6,
while millions of Americans went
to the polls, Longwood students
were making choices here on
campus which will affect our
own system of student govern-
ment. There were three
proposed changes to the SGA's
constitution on the referendum
that afternoon, each of which
needed a 67% (two-thirds
majority) approval of the voters
in order to pass.
The first proposal sought to
see the Student Union Board's
chairman and vice-chairman
officers chosen through campus-
wide voting while selecting its
secretary and treasurer from
within the board. This proposal
was passed, receiving 77% of
the votes in the affirmative
Being the only proposal of
three not to pass, the second
item on the referendum in-
tended to switch the mem-
bership of the Honor Board from
one containing a representative
from each of the academic
departments to one which
merely would be comprised of
nine representatives from the
student body. It was defeated by
a narrow margin receiving only
64% of affirmative votes.
The final item voted on looked
to have proposed amendments
or constitutional changes
submitted to The Rotunda for
publication one week prior to
election. This proposal passed
readily with 98% voting in the
affirmative and only 2% of those
who voted opposed.

Lethargy and Longwood
Out of some 2.600 Longwood students, one hundred
and forty-nine voted on the proposed changes to the
Constitution of the Longwood Student Government
Association Tuesday. November 6, a paltry 5.73 percent of
the Longwod student body.
This vast minority approved a change in the election of
Student Union officers, approved a proposal to have all
future referendums on amendments or changes in the
Constitution submitted to the student newspaper one week
prior to the vote, and because a two-thirds vote is required
for all constitutional changes, a proposal to alter the com-
position of the Honor Board was turned down. Sixty-four
percent of the group voted for this proposal.
The changes which were made last Tuesday are not
what is most important about the vote. The absolute lack of
student support for the voting process is, however, critical.
Try the numbers again: one hundred and forty-nine of 2,600
students voted. And the votes which they cast will affect the
entire student body regardless of how most students would
have voted. And only because Longwood students refused
to take the time to fill out a ballot.
Perhaps we showed our true self last Tuesday, a self
brimming over with lethargy. It is not as if the voting table
was inaccessible to students: SGA workers were in the New
Smoker for three-and-a-half hours, during both lunch and
dinner. It's probably a good guess to say that 1,500 students
passed by the table a week ago. And exactly one hundred
and forty-nine of them voted.
Whether or not Longwood students are as apathetic as
this vote indicates is difficult to establish, but the upcoming
SGA elections will be yet another opportunity for the student
body to show its true self.
Will we make the effort to vote responsibly, and in large
numbers, in this election? Our lethargic self may say 'no'; our
true one may speak otherwise.

To the Editor:
1 am writing in response to
your election issue two weeks
ago. which was biased and
obviously slanted towards Walter
Mondale. One case in point was
your lead story, which was a
two-page commentary by
Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo
of New York. What was printed
was Gov. Cuomo's keynote
address at the Democratic
National Convention in San
Francisco way back in July. 1
really don't understand why
^he Rotunda) you wasted two
pages of the school newspaper
to repeat a speech that was
broadcast by all of television's
major networks and seen by
millions of people. The
Republican keynote speech
wasn't printed. Jeff Abernathy
went on to write an en-
dorsement of the Mon-
dale/Ferraro ticket.
The only counterpoint was a
comparatively short article on
page four supporting President
Reaqan's stands. Also, a letter to
the editor was included sup-
porting Ronald Reagan,
although 1 am wondering if J.
Andrew O'Connor was Pro-
Reagan or Pro- War.
Here. I stop to weigh the
coverage of the two sides. The
paper clearly leaned to the
Democratic side and 1 wonder
how any reasonable person
could be so obviously biased and
frankly, unprofessional. Those
responsible for publishing that
issue abused their rights as
"members of the press" and
showed very poor journalism in
their actions.
To be fair. 1 did find the poll of
Longwood students very in-
teresting and 1 imagine many of
the Republicans on campus
support my stance on your issue,
since so many of those polled
supported Pres. Reagan. 1 don't
think the election issue swayed
any intelligent person's vote, but
the principle behind a biased
issue is still wrong.

Animal Lovers Beware!
Sometime ago, my attention
was brought to an article in a
somewhat reputable women's
magazine, describing the
qualities of the ideal male.
Chief among them was the
notion that the "perfect 10
male" loves children and
animals. I found this rather
disconcerting, not that I'm
striving for any type of social
perfection, but only because
I've been so openly
opinionated about the whole
matter.
You see, I do not like
animals; of any sort. 1 don't
even like the idea of animals.
Animals are no friends of mine.
They are not welcome in my
house. They occupy no space
in my heart. Animals are off my
list. I will say, however, in the
spirit of qualification, that I
mean them no particular harm.
I won't bother animals if
animals won't bother me. At
least I won't personally bother
animals. I do feel that a plate
bereft of a good cut of
something rare is an affront to
the serious diner.
Therefore, I might more
accurately state that I do not
like animals with two ex-
ceptions. The first being in the
past tense in which case I like
them just fine, especially in the
form of veal cutlets or Bass
Weejun loafers. And the
second being outside, by which
I do not merely mean outside
of the house, but genuinely
outside as in outside in the
woods, or preferably outside in
the South American jungle.
This is after all, only fair. I don't
go there, why should they
come here?
The above being the case, it
should come as no surprise
that I do not approve of the
practice of keeping animals as
pets. In fact, I think it should be
disallowed by law. Especially
the keeping of cats, and dogs if
you live in the city.
Having previously verbalized
these sentiments in society, I
have been the recipient of the
information that even if dogs
should be withheld from the
frivolous, there would still be
the blind and the pathologically
lonely to think of. I am not
totally devoid of compassion,
and after much thought I
believe that I have hit upon the
perfect solution to this
problem— let the lonely lead
the blind. This would provide
companionship to one and a
sense of direction to the other,
without inflicting on the rest of
us the all too common spec-
tacle of grown men addressing
German shepherds in the
respectful tones best reserved
for elderly clergymen and
Internal Revenue X agents.
As for the rest of you animal
lovers, if actual friends are not
within your grasp, may 1
suggest that you take a cue
from your favorite celebrity and
consider investing in a really
good entourage. If this does
not appeal to you, perhaps you
should alter your concept of
companionship. Living things
need not enter into it at all.
Georgian silver and authentic
18th century furniture make
wonderful companions, as do a
well-stocked bar and most
types of gourmet foods. Use
your imagination, study up on
the subject. You'll think of
something.
Just in case you don't, I've
directed the remainder of my
remarks to the pets themselves,
in the hope that they might at
least learn to disport them-
selves with dignity and grace:
If you are a dog and your
owner suggests that you wear a
sweater . . . suggest that he wear
a tail.
If you are only a bird in a
gilded cage — count your
blessings.
A dog who thinks he is man's
best friend is a dog who ob-
viously has never met a tax
lawyer.
If you have been named
after a human being of artistic
note, run away from home. It is
unthinkable that even an
animal should be obliged to
share quarters with anyone
who calls a cat Ford Madox
Ford.
Dogs who earn their living by
appearing in television
commercials in which they
constantly and aggressively
demand meat should
remember that in at least one
Far Easterrv country they are
meat.

Congress Sends Reagan
A Higher Student Aid Budget
fOKo.
ILOCK tR
HEWS new: m im^if^Miiiwmm wiwi* mvct m\umm i^ m mcmr.
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
Students locked out of 1984
federal financial aid programs
could find some opened doors
next year if President Ronald
Reagan signs the fiscal 1985
education funding bill now on his
desk.
Experts predict Reagan will
sign H.R. 6028. which contains
the federal education budget for
the Oct. 1, 1984 to Sept. 30,
1985 fiscal year, and was passed
Oct. 11 by both houses of
Congress.
Student financial aid funds
comprise nearly $8 billion of the
total $17.9 billion education
package, with $3.6 billion
earmarked for Pell grants and $3
billion for Guaranteed Student
Loans (GSL) .
"We think the increases will
loosen up financial aid sub-
stantially," Lou Dietrich,
Department of Education
spokeswoman reports. "The
budget exceeds our request for
1985 and provides a great deal
of aid."
Nevertheless, some aid
directors around the country fear
the increases may be too little,
too late to help current students,
and that they're not big enough
to help students new to the aid
programs.
Still, Congress's aid budget is
$1.7 billion more than last
year's, and nearly $1.5 billion
more than the president wanted
in the 1985 budget.
In his budget request,
delivered to Congress last
February, Reagan wanted to
fund the Pell program at its 1984
level, eliminate Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants
(SEOG) and State Student
Incentive Grants, drastically cut
National Direct Student Loans
(NDSL) and increase
Work/Study and GSL
allocations.
In addition, the Office of
Management and Budget earli<?r
this year proposed letting in-
flation eat away more aid
programs by keeping budgets
the same through the next four
years.
Congress instead has in-
creased the total education
budget by 14 percent and sent it
to the White House for Reagan's
signature.
"There are increases in just
about every program for 1985, "
Dietrich notes, "It certainly
provides students with more aid
options."
The SEOG program would
get $40 million more, NDSLs
$35 million more and College
Work/Study $37.5 million more
than 1984 levels if Reagan signs
the bill into law.
College financial aid directors
around the country, battered by
four years of aid cuts, seem
relieved but unsated.
"We've always had a problem
here with lack of funds," Alan
Shipley of Northern Arizona
University explains. "Any in-
crease will make it easier for
students to apply for and receive
the dollars they need."
"The increases are good," Jeff
Baker of San Francisco State
agrees. "But I'd like to see more
of them and more changes."
"We have a critical problem
here," Montana State Financial
Aid Director Jim Craig says,
hoping the increases won't come
too late. "Lots of students apply
and we have no funds for them."
"The budget for financial aid
has not grown with the cost of
living," he adds.
But while education experts
are happy about the increases,
they note the funding is not as
substantial as it looks.
"The budget restores the
erosion of the last four years,"
Dallas Martin of the National
Association of Student Financial
Aid Administrators says.
"Funding still doesn't equal the
real purchasing power of fiscal
1980."
The increases will cover in-
flation's effect on college costs,
he predicts, and "maybe a little
more."
Some aid directors maintain
the increases, particularly for
Pell Grants and GSLs, won't
help new aid applicants much.
"The increase in Pell funds
will go mostly to students already
in the program," Pat Smith of
the American Council on
Education (ACE) stresses.
"Maximum grants will be raised
from $1900 to $2100, and there
are nearly three million students
in the program."
"It's pretty much arithmetic,"
San Francisco's Baker concedes.
"I hope the Pell increase isn't
eaten up by the additional
maximum grants. I hope it
means more students will receive
Pell grants."
The GSL increases, he adds,
primanly will cover defaults and
differences between the nine
percent student interest rate and
the actual GSL interest rate.

The Dads: Fighting
By Lori Foster
and Gary Rader
"We're fighting for our lives,"
expressed Bryan Harvey, the
lead vocal and bass player for
"the Dads". With their album on
a major label, they are up
against artists such as Paul
McCartney, Billy Joel, and
Michael Jackson, and CBS does
not need to promote a band like
"the Dads" unless their album
sells. "You've got to sell, that's
the bottom line," Bryan con-
tinued. In a recent interview,
Bryan and other band members
stressed their concern that
people who make tapes of
albums instead of purchasing
them are hurting new struggling
bands as opposed to well known
artists. "Once we're famous they
can tape all they want, but right
now we need all the support we
can get" stated David Ayers, the
lead guitarist.
"The Dads" are currently in a
period of transition in their
career, moving from a fraternity
band to an opening act and
touring with major bands. On
November 11, "the Dads"
opened for "Culture Club" at the
Capital Center in Washington,
" 1 he Dads" first album simply
titled "the Dads" was released
last September. The album
consists of their original lyrics
and song arrangements with no
alterations by CBS. It's difficult
to categorize the music of the
Dads. It cannot be classified as
reggae or Motown, but it seems
to breathe new life into rock-n-
roll. Whatever it is... it's very
infectious.
The album contains several
good cuts, with the best one
being "Imagination" which is
being released as a single this
week. The song has great driving
rhythm and vocal work making it
a dance song. With local radio
stations giving it a lot of airplay.
the tune is quickly becoming a
big hit for the band. Another
strong dance song, "Won-
derworld", will probably do well
on the charts as their next single.
"Do What You Wanna", "Man
With Machinery", "Radio 101",
and "I Heard the News" are all
enjoyable songs to get out on the
dance floor and go crazy to. This
is just what happened in the
lower dining hall on November
9, as they drew a large crowd
that was wound up throughout
the entire concert.
Before their concert "the
Dads" and I were face to face in
their no-frills dressing room in
the lower dining hall discussing
their plans and atitudes as they
constantly entertained me with
their chalant humor and im-
pressive character. The
members of the band seemed to
mold into the environment they
encountered here at Longwood,
in the dressing room and on the
stage.
All the band members were
involved with previous bands.
The drummer, Michael Tubb. a
former Longwood student,
played in a band called
"Headwinds" which played for
campus functions. Michael and
David were the band's
originators and began playing as
a street band on corners in
Georgetown and Richmond.
They soon found Keith Pittman
and Bryan and the foursome
then called themselves "the
Dads". They chose this title to
avoid a "bad boy" image, and
are striving for a clean, suburban
type shadow. Dressed mainly in
black and white their similar
appearance during the in-
terview, on the stage, and on
their album cover, portrays a
cool rebel style.
After a bit of uproar when I
confronted them with the rumors
of their possible homosexuality
they agreed that there is
something about being an artist
opposed to a football player that
people tend to associate "with
being gay". "The members are
as red-blooded as they come"
says Keith. After denying all
tendencies of this kind, the
members quickly changed the
subject but continued to joke
about it throughout the rest of
the interview.
Rock-n-roll musicians are also
frequently connected with drugs,
yet "the Dads" have a silent
attempt to disassociate the rock
scene with drugs by not playing
the industry's game. "The Dads"
play it straight and they don't
want to promote drugs in any
way by action or in their music,
however, "this doesn't mean
they don't have fun from time to
time" one of them remarked.
They feel if you are successful
you must also be responsible for
any influence you have on the
public. Some short term future
plans of the band are to open for
"the Fix" and "Chaka Kahn",
and on November 21 they will
be at 2001 Odyssey in Rich-
mond for a big extravaganza.
CBS has been on hand to
record, promote and deliver the
Richmond-based band's music
to the public. The "Dads" have
begun to take control of their
destination with the release of
their album which will hopefully
head them in the direction of
success. Bryan says his idea of
success "would be to be heard by
a lot of people opposed to
owning a yacht or a Ferrari."
David's ultimate dream would be
to be able to make records for a
living. Either way "the Dads" are
slowly earning their respect in
the music business with their
refreshing new style. The group
has a few flaws, like most fairly
new groups they have a lack of
consistency and some superficial
qualities. But if they mature like
they should, they will gather a
strong following and make a
name for themselves in the
music industry.

Bedroom Farce Reviewed
By Gwen Stephenson
"If S-E-X ever rears its ugly
head, close your eyes so you
won't see the rest of it." This line
captures the theme of Alan
Ayckbourne's Bedroom Farce
which was staged by the
Department of Speech and
Dramatic Arts and the
Longwood Players November 7
through 10.
The characters are four
married couples. Trevor and
Susannah provide the main
marital conflict around which the
plot revolves. Susannah has
absolutely no self-confidence
and does constant verbal
reinforcement exercises to
improve her situation. Mean-
while, Trevor concentrates on
being the ultimate self-centered
male. Their sexual relationship
has "gone totally wrong," as
Susannah says.
Nick and Jan are the next
pair. Jan has married Nick on
the rebound from Trevor. Trevor
fancies himself as a destroyer as
do most male chauvinists. This
subplot lends itself to the
comedy, for Jan is far from
distraught about her lost love;
and Nick is flat on his back due
to a back injury. Jan treats her
cynical, bedridden spouse with
loving care, though liberally
mixed with touches of sarcasm.
Nick, in short, is not a good
patient.
Malcolm and Kate are
newlyweds who have just
moved into a small house. They
are both giddy with "love's
young dream" and full of
practical jokes. On the night the
action takes place they play host
and hostess to their
housewarming party. Trevor
and his mate disrupt the party
(and the audience in what was
the best scene of the show) by
having a violent fight. Jan tries to
reunite the couple by counselling
Trevor, but in a spasm of passion
Trevor kisses her just as his
neurotic wife re-enters the room.
As Trevor attempts to mend
all of the relationships he has
damaged we finally meet the
fourth couple, his parents,
Ernest and Delia. Delia
dominates the hen-pecked
Ernest and espouses their
marital theme: "Keep your
husband well fed and com-
fortable. But the most important
thing is not to tell him anything
he doesn't need to know."
Ernest trips through life content
to let Delia make his decisions.
He is more concerned about
trivial things like the loose
guttering on his house.
Curt Walker cuts a wonderful
character as Ernest, with some
great stereotypical carricatures of
elderly traits. Walker's character
was reminiscent of Tim Conway
on the Carol Burnett Show. He
was hilarious at times, but it was
obvious that he was aiming
solely for \\\e laughs
Linda Sauve also does an
outstanding job as Jan, the cool
and practical victim of Nick's
back problem. Ms. Sauve's
actions and lines were carried
with a great deal of professional
poise and her presence in some
shaky scenes helped maintain
some plausibility.
Connie Watkins as the spacy,
neurotic Susannah brings her
part to life in more ways than
one. She not only looks like a
potential fruitcake; she acts it as
well. Jumping when anyone
enters the room, holding
frequent conversations with
herself, becoming violent at a
moment's notice — all her
discomforts add to our delight in
the production. Ms. Watkins was
so into her part that she
sometimes upstaged her fellow
actors, and caused the audience
to lose some of the lines while
they were still laughing at
Susannah's antics. However,
she was the most believable
character on stage, because of
her intensity.
Jeff Flemming, as Trevor
compliments his wife's zaniness
with his own self-indulgence. If
his character is somewhat
unrealistic at times, like that of
Nfck played by Jerry Dagenhart,
the audience must realize that
this is a farce. Some characters
must be exaggerated to give the
story humor. Flemming did a
very nice job of balancing
Trevor's extreme character traits
Trevor is at the same time stupid
and neurotic on one hand and
stupid and arrogant on the
other. The entire play revolves
around this and it puts "a great
heavy weight" on Flemming
which could explain some of
Flemming's shakiness. Not bad
though, not bad at all.
Dagenhart also had a very
difficult part, lying in bed the
entire time. His sarcasm was
almost a visible entity.
Dagenhart has an obvious
mastery of comedic timing and
delivery and easily got the most
laughs. Pertiaps his voice is a bit
too grating on the ears, but it
blended well with his character.
Kate and Malcolm (Deanna
Deitrich and Andrew Murtaugh)
were bubbly and fun. Their
antics brought relief from the
friction caused by Trevor and
Susannah. Murtaugh's delivery
was off sometimes but he was
well suited to the practical joker
role. Ms. Deitrich was great as
the "Straight woman of the
show." She provided a much-
needed balance.
Cathy Miller brought Delia to
life as a mother hen guarding her
chicks. Ms. Miller's British accent
was without a doubt the most
natural in the show which lended
a great deal of credibility to her
part.
The set by A. Mofatt Evans
was simple and very realistic,

Across the Nation
Campus Events
Residence Halls
Yale University students were angered for
being fined for opting to move off campus after
the housing deadline, even though the school
had a severe housing crunch. Students thought
their rooms could be easily filled, making fines
unnecessary. Housing officials say the fines are
levied to get students to take the deadline
seriously.
A Rule About Officers' Grades is kicking up
dust at Syracuse University. The rule that
student organization officers be in good
academic standing is being enforced by the
administration for the first time in recent years. It
could affect the current Student Government
president, whose grade point average is below
2.0, according to a local newspaper. SGA rules
don't spell out grade qualifications, and ad-
ministrators won't comment on possible sanc-
tions against specific individuals.
A New Phone-In Registration System enabled
over 6.000 Penn State University students to
change their class schedules without leaving
home. Those eligible to use the system received
an incomplete class schedule in pre-registration.
Their schedules contained a toll-free number to
call, and a list of instructions for using the phone-
in process.
A Seemingly Innocent Interview put the
University of Pittsburgh student newspaper on
sports pages nationally. The article, on Pitt-
sburgh star Bill Fralic, included the gridder's
comment that he likes to "go play golf and go
(blank) girls and get loaded." That quote made
the city paper, The Pittsburgh Press, and the
wire services. Fralic took much of the heat, but
the Pitt News also came under fire for running
his obscene remarks. Striking back in its own
editorial, the paper defended its right as a
student paper to express ideas and take
changes. The problem, said the News, was that
the professional press distorted and overplayed a
comment intended only for a college audience.
The Mysterious Disappearance of a Knute
Rockne bust from the University of Notre Dame
campus is still making headlines on that campus.
The perpetrators of last spring's theft sent pic-
tures of the missing bust— wearing a Purdue
jersey— to the campus newspaper, The Ob-
server, accompanied by a message from "Rock."
Shortly thereafter, the paper reported that an
ND graduate and two current students were
responsible for th^ bust's disappearance. All
three have denied the charges. ND police say
they've passed on a lead to the Los Angeles
Police Department to be checked out.
Pushing Students to choose a career is a
mistake too many parents are making today,
says Dr. Robert Kellogg, dean of the University
of Virginia's College of Arts and Sciences.
Parents of liberal arts students shouldn't pressure
their children to a narrowly focused vocational
field where entry-level jobs abound, warns
Kellogg. Such training neglects skills for critical
thinking, literate communication and problem
solving— skills rare enough in American society,
he says.
If Cornell Seniors decide to create a South
African Divestment Fund as an alternative to the
traditional Senior Gift, the Student Assembly is
ready to administer it. The SA voted its
readiness to accept the responsibility this month,
clearing the way for creation of such a fund.
Students Can Campaign For Credit at
Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.
Political science majors and some community
development interns will receive class credit for
working in political campaign. One local can-
didate capitalized on that situation by advertising
for student volunteers with the promise of class
credit.
The Much-Publicized Vote by Brown University
students to stock suicide pills in case of nuclear
war was intended to draw attention to the threat
of nuclear war, but may do just the opposite,
according to Sanford Gottlieb, executive director
of the United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear
War. Thinking about suicide can cause students
to adopt a defeatist attitude and actually drive
them away from the campus nuclear freeze
movements, he says.
Only Five Students asked to be placed with
non-drinking roommates at the University of
Iowa, housing officials there say. They had
formally made that option available in August,
although it had been informally used— through
room transfers— in the past. The low number
was attributed to students' ability to find com-
patible roommates on their own.
A Student Referendum on Student Senate
funding of a gay student group is churning up
the University of Kansas campus. Students
opposing the funding collected 2,000 signatures
on petitions calling for the referendum. One of
those students subsequently came under fire for
selling "Fagbusters" T-shirts. The senate has
since rejected and then reconsidered holding the
vote.
The State Supreme Court upheld Columbia
University's suspension of two students arrested
last spring for assaulting other students. The pair
challenged their suspensions on the grounds
they were denied due process in disciplinary
hearings. The court said the two students were
given the right to counsel, heard the charges
against them, and had the opportunity to explain
their side of the story.
Cheerleaders Split Squads!!!
By Tim Fitzgerald
The 1984-85 Longwood
cheerleading squads are on their
way to becoming the best squads
ever at Longwood. Joyce
Phillips, in her third year as head
cheerleading coach, is very
enthusiastic about the squads
this year.
There will be two separate
squads this year, one to cheer at
the men's basketball games and
one to cheer at the women's
basketball games. Coach Phillips
feels that this should make a big
difference in the overall per-
formance. "We started with two
squads last year but we lost a lot
of people which forced the
remaining members to cheer at
both men's and women's games.
It was too much work and we
were burned out by January. We
should not have that problem
this year. With two squads we
should be able to do a good job
at every game."
In August the cheerleaders
attended The Universal
Cheerleaders Association
Camp. The camp featured
approximately 1500
cheerleaders from division I and
II schools across the nation.
"Attending camp really helped
us a lot," said Phillips.
Students Revive Boycott
To Protest Cuts
Fort Collins, CO (CPS) -
Colorado's statewide student
association, reviving a tactic
from the late sixties and early
seventies, is calling on students
to strike on November 1 to
protest rising tutition and the
"declining quality" of higher
education in the state.
Strike organizers plan public
discussions of state funding,
tuition, financial aid and a
proposal to raise the state legal
drinking age to 21.
"Something needs to be done
to dramatically grab the people's
attention to show them that
higher education is seriously
underfunded in Colorado," says
John Francis, co-president of the
University of Colorado's student
government.
"While I sympathize with
students' frustration with the
legislature and agree that higher
education needs increased
funding, I cannot condone a
class boycott," Gov. Richard
Lamm replies. "Instead, I
suggest (students) voice their
opinions at the polls November
6."
There were many student
strikes during the student
movement of the sixties and
seventies, but they've been rare
for the last decade, says Bob
Bingaman, director of the State
Student Association in
Washington, D. C.
Such strikes, when successful,
"educate students and heighten
student awareness of issues in
higher education. People on
campuses start talking about the
issues and the level of debate on
the issues increases."
"Several years ago Pennsyl-
vania students staged a broad-
based class boycott and shut
down eight of the 13 state
campuses" to protest a proposed
mid-year tuition increase,
Bingaman recalls.
"The strike was very suc-
cessful," helping increase
funding for state colleges and
raise faculty salaries, Bingaman
says.
However, some activists see
Pennsylvania Gov. Richard
Thornburgh's subsequent gutting
of the statewide student
association's funding mechanism
as retaliation for the political
pressure he felt. The association
now has desperate budget woes.
Except for the Pennsylvania
strike, though, Bingaman is not
aware of any statewide student
strike "since at least 1975."
"It's a risky move," concedes
Scott Houser, president of the
Colorado State Student
Association. "And if we build it
up to be something it doesn't
become, we could lose
credibility. If it works, the
benefits far outweigh the risks."
If the Colorado students are
successful, notes Bingaman,
who recently spent a week
helping organize the strike, they
could revive student strikes as
tactics for gaining public and
political support for higher
education.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, November 13, 1984
Campus Yearbooks Face Oblivion
Kersey Makes Blazer Roster
By Jim O'Hara
By Susan Skorupa
(CPS) - Faced with student
apathy, money woes and
mismanagement, college
yearbook staffs this year are
finding it takes more than
snappy copy and pretty pictures
to sell yearbooks.
A number of colleges, weary
of late yearbook deliveries and
having to bail yearbooks out of
financial trouble, now are
demanding the books pay their
own way.
Last week, for example, the
University of Alabama simply
slashed the press run of its
yearbook to cut losses because it
came out late.
The Corolla staff bitterly called
the move "a lack of faith in our
abilities."
But many of the yearbook
ventures seem to be responding
by installing more efficient,
professional operations.
The Un i versity of
Massachusetts yearbook staff,
for instance, last month con-
fronted an ultimatum to do
better or junk its book by
bringing out the 1983-84 Index
three weeks ahead of deadline.
"Students were getting tired of
the yearbook," says John
Mooradian, U. Mass. Student
Government Association (SGA)
treasurer. "It was always late and
the quality was bad. And the
student fund can't support a late,
expensive yearbook."
The SGA, after initially trying
to withhold all funds for the
yearbook, told the staff it had to
prove it could produce a high-
quality book on time, and then
sell it.
"This year the book is of
exceptional quality," Mooradian
boasts. "Student reaction has
been very good."
Yearbook staffs note they
aren't always to blame for bad
reaction or missed deadlines.
Alabama's Corolla staffers
recall someone stole their
computer and five disks that held
a third of the book, forcing them
to start over and change
deadlines.
Yearbooks also have suffered
from student apathy, observes
David Honnold of Taylor
Publishing Company's College
and University Division, which
prints many campus yearbooks
nationwide.
"If a school with 10,000
students includes the yearbook
price in its student activity fees,
only about 40 percent will ac-
tually pick up a yearbook", he
says.
"Students think, "Why buy a
yearbook when, for the same
price, you can buy a couple of
six packs?' " agrees Brian
Mooar, 1984-95 editor of Kent
State's yearbook.
Usually, the combination of
high costs and the student
apathy caused by poor quality
can kill a yearbook without
student government or ad-
ministrative threats.
That's what nearly happened
at Pacific Lutheran University in
1981.
"The quality was poor,"
admits 1984-85 Saga editor
Dana Tigges. "But since then
we've hired and maintained a
good staff. The quality of the
book has gone up and the
administration is more enthused
about financing it, so we're really
encouraged."
Kent State felt the student
apathy crunch in 1976 when the
university transferred yearbook
funding from the school budget
to the Student Publication Policy
Committee.
"Funding dropped from
$15,000 to $1,500," Mooar
recalls, forcing students to buy
the books separately instead of
paying for them as part of their
tuition.
Since then, "we've had to
change our thinking around," he
concedes. "We've had to take a
large step away from making it a
photographer's gallery with no
copy."
Kent State now publishes
more color, more copy and
more "names with faces," to
entice purchasers, Mooar notes.
Arizona's yearbook staff hopes
the same tactics and providing
free coverage to all clubs,
fraternities and sororities will
convince more students to buy
books this year.
Bradley University's staff
expects a price cut and more
student portraits will boost sales
of the financially-troubled
Anaga.
But at Stephens College in
Columbia, Mo., student apathy
is only part of a "domino effect"
threatening yearbook financing,
contends yearbook advisor
Connie Beachler.
"We seem to start with a
decent staff that dwindles, so
quality goes down," she
laments. "Fewer and fewer
students buy the book and that
exacerbates the financial
situation."
While many schools face the
same problems of falling sub-
scription sales and declining
quality, Taylor's Honnold says
the number of colleges with
yearbooks has remained fairly
stable for the last five years, and
has risen since the late sixties
and early seventies decline.
During those years, "yearbook
publication dropped off,
probably because of student
apathy, the same as with
fraternities and sororities. It
wasn't the thing to do at the
time," he says.
Now schools that produce a
quality yearbook find students
are willing to buy it, he adds.
"You have to appeal to the
masses and still cater to your
own sense of journalistic ex-
cellence," Kent State's Mooar
agrees. "There has to be a happy
medium or you won't sell
books."
Former Longwood College
basketball great Jerome Kersey
became the first player from
Southside Virginia to ever earn a
spot on a roster on a National
Basketball Association team this
week when the Portland
Trailblazers finalized its team for
the 1984-85 pro season.
The All-American from
Clarksville was assured a spot on
the team Tuesday night when
the Blazers place three-year
veteran Pete Verhoeven on
waivers bringing the total
number of players on the roster
to 12.
"I learned about it sitting in my
room watching the news last
night," Kersey said en-
thusiastically during a telephone
conversation from Portland
Wednesday. "Then a little later
the team psychologist came by
and told me."
"But I couldn't afford to go out
and celebrate," he added. "We
have practice at 10:30 this
morning."
The all-time leading scorer
and rebounder for Longwood,
Kersey apparently sewed up his
spot on the team with an out-
standing pre-season effort. In
Portland's eight pre-season
games, Kersey averaged 14.1
points, 6.3 rebounds had six
blocks and 11 steals.
"The coaches are very pleased
with him," John White, public
relations director for Portland
said Wednesday afternoon. "We
feel that it's possible that we may
have gotten the steal of the draft
this year.
"I was trying to prepare myself
for the bad news and the good
news," the 6-7 small forward for
Portland commented. "The
decision can sometimes be
political, but I'm glad they kept
me.
LC head coach Cal Luther,
who guided Kersey for the last
three years, was more pleased to
see his former player make the
Blazers than some former
players he coached that played
pro ball.
"I've had some of my kids
make the NBA before," he said
Wednesday morning, "but I've
never had a kid more deserving
than Jerome. Even if he doesn't
play a minute this year, he'd be
an asset to the team."
"I had talked with general
manager Stu Inman recently and
he said the coaches were looking
for a player who knew the
system and had some ex-
perience," Luther added. "So it
was a herculean task for him to
make it. He must have really
impressed the coaching staff."
Portland opens up the season
this Saturday when they visit the
Kansas City Kings for the season
opener. The only game in which
area fans can get a chance to see
Portland play this season is
March 6 when they play the
Washington Bullets in Landover,
Md.
"I'll be playing small forward,"
Kersey said about his role on the
team. "It's a good position and
offensively allows you to get
some shots." Pro standout Kiki
Vandeweghe will more than
likely start for Portland at that
position.
"Getting hit when you're
going up for a shot is a lot dif-
ferent than when I played at
Longwood," Kersey went on to
say about the different style of
play,"
Portland's roster may have
one of the youngest benches in
the league this year. Kersey is
one of five rookies on the team.
As far as getting some playing
time this season, he pointed out
that it all "depends on how I do
in practice."

A Plea for Pluralism Goals and Realities
By Bill Moore
While the dust appears to
have settled after the rash of
controversies at Longwood this
fall, 1 believe there remains some
unfinished business— what does
it all tell us about ourselves? My
training tells me that experiences
usually need processing (not
ignoring) to be most educational.
Besides, the whole sordid affair
reminds me of one of the
Longwood goals, and since it's
partly my job to keep these goals
in our focus, I feel compelled to
speak out.
The central theme running
through all of these controversies
is one of individual differences,
primarily in lifestyle choices-
greek or independent, gay or
straight, the use of language
termed by some "offensive."
Obviously, even in a small-town,
small-college environment, this
microcosm of America reflects
the range of different kinds of
people in this country. And why
not? America, after all, is the
great melting pot. one of the
very few nations founded on
clearly defined principles of
tolerance and pluralism. The
range of pluralism may have
stretched quite a bit since 1776,
but the fundamental principles
remain the same.
So what kind of pluralistic
dialogue have we witnessed here
recently? From the sidelines, all I
see is narrow-mindedness,
distortion, name-calling, and
stereotyping coming from all
"sides" of these controversies, it
reminds me of this fall's
presidential campaign, where on
both sides, the "other" is at-
tacked and vilified— there seems
to be only sporadic attempts to
address significant issues. As a
recent Washington Post column
suggests, "Reagan isn't running
a campaign, he's running a rock
video." The primary of imagery
seems true on our local stage as
well— all is attack and parry,
hyperbole, unwillingness to
engage in dialogue— but to
paraphrase a current sage,
where's the substance?
1 promised a Longwood goal,
and here it is— sense of
awakening. This goal relates to
the development of a greater
understanding of our own values
and sense of what's right and
what's wrong, while at the same
time coming to terms with the
inevitability that other people
will have other perspectives. The
next step, radical to some
people, is acknowledging that
those different perspectives
(values, lifestyles, political
parties, etc.) can be accepted as
legitimate in their own right at
the same time you choose to
believe in and strive toward your
own absolute standards that may
conflict with others' viewpoints.
That continual engagement with
ambiguity and variety is at the
core of a pluralistic, free society;
while such a society sets limits
through its laws, there are very
few areas in which absolute
standards are applied. Sense of
awakening thus involves lear-
ning to define one's own
commitments in the face of this
diversity and not automatically
condemning different com-
mitments. The public discourse
about our recent controversies at
Longwood does not display
much of this sense of
awakening, unfortunately.
Controversy can be healthy if
it leads to open discussion and
debate; it helps us to engage our
minds and reflect on our
viewpoints (and justifications).
But we need to keep a sense of
awakening in mind while we
engage and reflect, otherwise we
add little to any meaningful
dialogue. The theologian
Reinhold Niebuhr once said that
the highest form of religious
tolerance was based on the belief
that "all actual expressions of
religious faith are subject to
historical contingency and
relativity"— in other words,
express your faith but un-
derstand that your absolutes are
not necessarily the same as for
everyone else. As Benjamin
DeMott, an English professor at
Amherst College writes in the
latest issue of Harper's (October,
1984):
You have it in you to fight off
reductiveness and trivialization .
You have it in you to be im-
patient with oversimplification —
indeed, to be sore enough about
it to stand against it. . . Dancing
to an extraordinary variety or
rhythms in the world
simultaneously is feasible.
(emphasis added)
That is what we are asked to
do when confronted with such
complexity in a pluralistic world-
if not dance, at least cope with
the "extraordinary variety"- of
lifestyles we will inevitably
encounter. Why is that so much
to ask?
Bedroom Review— (Contmued from Page 4)
except for one thing: It slanted
about two feet from front to
back, and dipped in center
stage. Not only did this help the
audience to see the actors' heads
while they were in bed but aided
the psychological slant of the
play.
So, in the end did Susannah
and Trevor get their act
together? Have they destroyed
all the other relationships? Only
the audience knows, hopefully
you were part of it. This was an
excellent production put on by a
fine cast and crew. Thanks to
director Douglas M. Young and
the Longwood Players for saving
some of us from another typical
Longwood evening.

As part of the Longwood
Goals Project, I've been involved
recently in interviewing fresh-
men students about their college
goals, and it's clear that the
concept of goals, let alone THE
14 GOALS, evokes lofty and
abstract images. Students have a
hard time relating them to the
real world, and thus they tend to
ignore or ridicule such notions.
But as this political campaign
grinds to a halt, I am prompted
to make some connections
between goals and the cold,
hard realities of life.
Be honest with yourself—
have you taken the time to
become responsibly informed
about the candidates and their
views, or is your preference
determined by media images
and other people's (like your
parents) values? Nowhere, I
think, is our intellectual sloth
more evident than in our ap-
proach to voting decisions; too
many people watch television
ads or the 30-second bits on the
nightly news, accept candidates'
rhetoric at its face value, and let
our prejudices take over. How
does that relate to the goal of
critical thinking? Or
responsible citizenship? A
major national newspaper
reported a list of inaccuracies in
the presidential candidates'
statements during the first
debate: Reagan's list was about
twice as long as Mondale's, but
they both had distorted facts in
their rhetoric. Did you even
bother to question their
statements, or did you let your
initial preference rule who you
believed and who you didn't?
How do you decide? That's part
of what THE 14 GOALS are all
about, and if you ignore it, you
could be living with mistakes and
poor judgments— both in terms
of voting, perhaps, as well as in
one's personal life.
Take other areas— how's your
world consciousness, for in
stance? Did you know the world
spends an average of $19,310
per year per solider on defense,
but only $380 per year per
school-aged child for education?
That there are 556 soldiers per
100,000 people, but only 85
physicians? Meanwhile, the U.S.
remains one of the world's
largest weapons dealers. These
are realities that need to be
confronted; are these the
priorities we'd like to see for the
"global village"? But we can't
even begin to grasp these
realities until we address these
goals— world consciousness,
sense of awakening, critical
thinking, and so on. They may
be lofty to you, but this political
season brings them down to
earth— they're real.

scoring. Holmes averaged 11.8
points and 8. 1 rebounds.
Johnson averaged 6.5 points
and 3.5 rebounds while seeing
action at both guard and for-
ward.
Sophomores Karen Boska
and Caren Forbes were starters a
year ago and should be even
better in 1984-85. Sophomore
Melanie Lee was a top inside
reserve in her rookie season and
junior Kellie Jordan also got in
for considerable action.
Longwood freshmen include

Angle Hill and 6-2 Barbie
Burton, sophomore Pat Irvine, a
5-9 forward, transfen-ed from
Southern Seminary.
Duncan feels the newcomers
are capable of playing right away
and bolstering the team's depth .
"We should be improved in all
areas," said the Longwood
coach. "With a year's ex-
perience, the veterans will be
more effective executing our
running game and player-to -
player defense.
"We want to continue the
success of last year, and we'd
very much like to win the
Mason-Dixon Conference
championship."

Richmond Sonfonia
Not on an Elevator!
Dance Company Performance 'Enjoyable'
By Barrett Baker
It was a classic example of
what my Journalism teacher
calls "missing the point." I was
heading towards the snack bar
for a burrito and to figure out
what I should write this week
when the sound of trumpets
reached me from Jarman
Auditorium. I had two tickets to
the Richmond Sinfonia and the
show was starting in 20
minutes— good deal! 1 no longer
needed to worry about a story
and I didn't have to eat that
burrito...
1 was a little disappointed to
find that most of the crowd
attending were not Longwood
students— despite the fact the
Student Union offered free
tickets to the first 250 students
who requested them as opposed
to the $12 that everyone else
had to pay. That alone should
have encouraged people to
enjoy a night out. It was also a
bit discouraging to find that the
students that did show up
seemed to be there for a class.
"Let's get this over with" was a
commonly expressed phrase.
And why should young
people go to a show like this? It
was the kind of music my brother
and I always referred to as
"elevator music" when we were
younger. But there is something
special about seeing a symphony
in person, if nothing else, only to
be impressed by the precision
involved with a production like
this. If the Richmond Braves
were anywhere near as well
orchestrated, they would never
lose a game.
Apart from the fact that
conductor, Peter Bay had to
wait for the Longwood Towers
to finish tolling 8:00 just as he
was ready to begin, and that one
of the chairs in the orchestra had
a Coor's Beer Wolf sticker on
it— not to mention that no wine
was served during in-
termission—the Richmond
Sinfonia put on an excellent
show featuring pieces from
Mendelssohn, Elgar, Mozart,
and Ludwig von Beethoven. It
was a pleasant, relaxing change
from today's modern, electronic
rock'n roll.
The program was made
possible in part by grants from
the Virginia Commision for the
Arts, and the National En-
dowment for the Arts, and was
sponsored by Longwood's
Teacher Education Centennial
Committee, the Student Union
and Alpha Delta Kappa.

The Longwood Company of
Dancers opened their Fall Studio
Concert last weekend with a
colorful and lively per-
formance—due largely in part by
the choreography of Dance
Company members and by
some very interesting lighting
effects.
The show opened with
"Starlight," a jazzy, upbeat piece
choreographed by Gayle Arpe
featuring music by Madonna.
Arpe, personally, danced with
energy and style. Her cast,
however, whether inex-
perienced, nervous, or both, did
not seem as enthusaistic and
thus the dance did not come
across as well as it could have.
The second piece, "Terp-
sichore in Zephyrus"
choreographed by Carol Moran,
was probably the most precise
and fluent piece in the show.
Featuring music by Alan Par-
sons, the dance combined both
modern dance and classical
ballet with three experienced
dancers piecing together some
very special moments into a very
enjoyable performance.
"Laisser-Faire," the third piece
choreographed by Angle Smith,
featured a jazzed-up piece by
Tchaikovsky. The piece had
definite bright spots from in-
dividuals but was still somehow
lacking as a whole.
Choreographed by Laura
Cawthorne, "Bustin' " with
music from the title song of the
soundtrack, "Ghostbusters," was
the most enjoyable performance
of the show involving both dance
and theatrics. Every dancer
involved made this piece a real
crowd pleaser.
"Bitter-Suite" choreographed
and performed by former Dance
Company members Horace
Scruggs and Nance Nuckols,
was an excellent bridge from
"Ghostbusters" to the following

Lancaster Library is in the
"forefront of library technology."
Currently, Lancaster is the only
four-year, academic library in
Virginia equipped with a func-
tioning VTLS except for Virginia
Tech's library where the system
was developed. Other college
libraries are getting the VTLS or
already have it but have not put
it into use yet. Several public
libraries have the VTLS, in-
cluding the State Library in
Richmond. Lancaster Library
has the ability to read the State

other academic libraries put the

will be able to read their

All in all, the whole per-

hour, was well worth seeing and
thoroughly enjoyable.

Lancer Sf^orts
Kage»
Soccer Team on the Wire Lady Cagers Look Strong
Well the Longwood Lancer
soccer team really brought it
down to the wire this year.
Originally thought to have a
good chance at gaining a bid to
the twelve team national
tournament, the Lancers went
into their final game unsure of
even a state tournament bid.
Last Wednesday, in their final
regular season game of the year
versus Randolph-Macon the
Lancers were at the top of their
form. On the day of the game
the Lancers had moved up in the
national rankings from twentieth
to sixteenth. The Randolph-
Macon Yellow Jackets had fallen
from their lofty tenth position to
just beneath Longwood ranking
seventeenth For the Lancers
this meant that either a win or a
tie would send them on to the
state tournament.
Well, the Lancers brought it
all the way down to the wire,
fighting to a scoreless tie at the
end of two overtimes, "it was a
great game. We would have
liked to have won it," com-
mented head coach Rich
Posipanko, "The way it was
played though, either team
could have won it." And both
teams very nearly did on several
occasions. Behind some
superlative performances by
goal keeper Rob Liessem and
three-time All-American
defensive back Darryl Case, the
Lancers were able to blank the
Yellow Jackets the entire game.
Unfortunately on the other half
of the field, the Jackets were also
able to hold the potent
Longwood attack scoreless, with
Randolph-Macon goalie coming
up with several strong plays as
did his center fullback. John
Kennen, Craig Reid and Tim
Ford all had chances to score but
the Yellow Jacket goalie always
managed to get in front of them.
The one shot that did get by him,
a Case rocket, apparently
happened too fast for the umpire
to see and he did not rule it a
goal. The umpire distinguished
himself on this sunny afternoon
by keeping the roughness of play
at about the same level as a high
school football game.
After playing to a scoreless tie
at the end of regulation, the two
teams went into overtime. With
the skies darkening and rain
beginnning to fall, the Lancers
dominated play but were unable
to put Randolph-Macon away.
When the second overtime
period ended and the game was
still tied Longwood had earned
its second invitation to the VISA
tournament in three years.
The state semifinal game
pitted Longwood against the
Roanoke College Maroons.
Earlier in the year the Lancers
had battled Roanoke to a 1-0
victory. The Maroons had
outshot the Lancers and it was
only the play of Liessem along
with a Clay Mullican assisted
John Kennen score that
provided the difference.
in last week's game against
Roanoke the Maroons scored
first and Longwood had to fight
from behind all through the
game. When Case scored with
eight minutes left, the
momentum of the game shifted
to the Lancers. Longwood
controlled the remainder of the
game and went into the overtime
with the momentum behind
them. In the second overtime
period, the Maroons were
awarded a penalty kick. When
Roanoke failed to capitalize on
the opportunity, the two teams
continued through three more
overtime periods. Longwood
continued to dominate the
action but when Reid was
ejected in the middle of the
fourth overtime period the
Maroons started to threaten. The
fifth overtime period saw the
Maroons press their one man
advantage but they were unable
to score. With darkness falling,
the two teams went to a shoot-
off. Case, Mark McArdle and
Jeff Robinson all made their
penalty kicks so that when Scott
Thoden came to the line the
game rested on his final kick.
The senior defensive back had
the goalie convinced he was
going one way, kicked it the
other way into the back of the
net and the Lancers advanced to
the state championship game
against Mary Washington
Wednesday at 2:30.
The last time they met,
Longwood led 2-0 most of the
game. With four minutes left the
Lancers let it slip away and Mary
Washington tied it up 2-2. Two
overtime periods later the score
remained 2-2 and went into the
record books.
"This is one of our stronger
teams," Posipanko noted going
into the championship game. "I
think our chances of beating
Mary Washington are good.
We're capable of winning it. It all
depends on how well we play.
We have to keep playing like we
have our last two games."
Longwood won its first state
title in 1982 when the Lancers
went 15-4-1 and beat Lynchburg
1-0 in the VISA finals.
Longwood's women's
basketball team would like to
keep a good thing going when
the Lady Lancers open their
1984-85 season at home
November 26 against the
University of District of
Columbia.
Coach Shirley Duncan's
squad collected a record number
of wins last season while ending
a string of five straight losing
seasons. The Lady Lancers
would like to improve on that
mark this year.
With seven of its top eight
players and four starters back
from last season, Longwood
could field its strongest women's
basketball team in history this
year. Only point guard Robin
Powell is missing from last year's
main cast of characters. Powell
graduated in May.
Second year coach Shirley
Duncan led the Lady Lancers to
a 16-10 mark in 1983-84.
Duncan is optimistic about this
year's squad but she is also
mindful of a schedule which is
The 1984-85 Lady Lancer Basketball Team — Front {I to r) Florence Holmes,
Valerie Turner, Mariana Johnson. Second row - Assistant Coach Nanette
Fisher, Pat Irvine, Melanie Lee, Barbie Burton, Karen Boska, Kellie Jor-

nette Easterling, and Manager Jennifer Zirkle.
Riders Compete
FARMVILLE, VA-Last
Friday, the Longwood riding
team traveled to Virginia to
compete in a show with nine
other colleges.
Bethanne McCarron led the
team in points with a first place in
novice over fences and a third
place in novice on the flat. Lisa
Nelson placed second in in-
termediate over fences and third
in intermediate on the flat.
Newcomer to the team, Rainey
Bishop placed fourth in novice
over fences and fifth in novice on
the flat. Mary Brockwell finished
fifth in novice over fences and
sixth in open on the flat. Leanne
Lawson and Robin Levy placed
third and sixth respectively in
advanced walk-trot-canter.
Cynthia Settle placed third in
beginner walk-trot-canter
The Lancers next riding show
will be December 2 at Lynchburg
College
considerably tougher.
"I think we helped ourselves
by recruiting some good
players," said the coach. "We
could have a better team this
year but not as good a record
because of the schedule."
Longwood, Mount St. Mary's,
Pittsburgh -Johnstown, Liberty
Baptist and Maryland Baltimore
County will take part in the first
year of women's basketball for
the Mason-Dixon Athletic
Conference. The teams will
compete for a regular season
conference crown.
The Mount, in Division II, and
UP J, in Division III, have ranked
among the top teams in the
country in recent years. The
Lady Lancers will be playing
District of Columbia, another
strong Division II club on
opening night November 26.
"We have a very challenging
schedule," said Duncan, "but, I
believe our team has the ability
to respond to the challenge."
Strong leadership and ex-
perience will come from a trio of
seniors who have been with the
Lady Lancer team three years.
Forwards Valerie Turner and
Florence Holmes and swing
player Mariana Johnson have
been the backbone of the team
the past two seasons.
Turner blossomed into one of
the top women cagers in the
country last season. The 5-8
senior averaged 18.4 points and
14.5 rebounds while reaping a
truck load of post-season
honors. Both Turner and
Holmes are good bets to top the

Lancer Basketball to Open Season
THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, November 13, 1984
t
Special to the Rotunda
Longwood's men's basketball
team, with four returning starters
and eight veteran players, opens
its 1984-85 basketball season
this week with an exhibition
contest against Court Authority
and an appearance in the
Coalfield Progress Tournament
at Clinch Valley.
The Lancers will host Court
Authority, an AAU team of
former Richmond-area college
stars, Tuesday at 7:30 in Lancer
Hall. Top name players on the
squad include Kevin Wood, Ren
Watson, Monty Knight, Danny
Kottak, Mike Owens and Ray
Epps.
Longwood will open regular
season play in the Clinch Valley
Tournament Friday-Saturday.
The Lancers will take on Brescia
at 7 p.m. and Clinch Valley will
play Piedmont at 9 p.m. in
opening night action Friday.
Consolation and championship
games are slated for Saturday at
7 and 9p.m.
Life After Kersey?
Longwood's basketball
program will find out this year if
there is life after Jerome Kersey.
Lancer coach Cal Luther says it
is a gross understatement to say
that the Portland Trailblazer
rookie will be difficult to replace.
And, he's not just talking about
the 19.6 points and 14.2
rebounds the 6-7, 220-pounder
averaged tor Longwood last
season.
"We have already missed him
as much in practice as we will in
games," says the -coach. "He
was such a great competitor that
he made everyone around him
hustle every day."
"This could be the most
challenging year for us since I
came to Longwood," said
Luther. "We've got to try and
replace Kersey's ability inside,
but we have only four players on
our roster who are taller than 6-
3."
On the plus side Luther says
Longwood should be an im-
proved shooting team in 1984-
85.
"We had three new faces in
the lineup last year, and those
three players should be more
confident with the experience
gained last season."
Stan Hull, a 6-3 junior, Kevin
Ricks, a 6-3 sophomore, and
David Strothers, a 6-6 senior,
will be counted on to help
Longwood better its shooting
percentage. Strothers, who
averaged 5.7 rebounds and 11.7
points, is the top returning
rebounder, while 6-3 junior
Lonnie Lewis scored most of his
14 ppg. from outside last
season .
Hull, a probable starter at
guard, has missed a week of
preseason practice with an ankle
injury.
Providing depth at the guard
positions will be veterans Frank
Tennyson, a 5-8 junior, and Eric
Pittman, a 6-2 sophomore.
Senior Tim Wilson was a
valuable reserve last season at
small forward and could break
into the lineup with more
consistent play.
Dave Edwards, a 6-6 junior,
appears to have the best shot at
filling Kersey's position in the
middle. He played in 24 games
last season, averaging 3.3 ppg.
Four Newcomers
If Longwood is to equal or
improve on last season's 15-12
record, incoming junior college
players 6-2 Kenneth Fields, and
6-3 Lionell Ogburn and 6-7
Boudewijn van Beest and 6-5
Mike Leake, both freshmen, will
have to make major con-
tributions.
Fields, a strong leaper and
rugged player inside, is in
contention for a starting position .
Ogburn has also played well and
may be a starter.
Longwood will be pointing
toward play in the Mason-Dixon
Athletic Conference which
begins in January. The Lancers,
7-3 and runner-up to Randolph-
Macon last season, have been
picked sixth by the coaches and
fourth by the conference sports
information directors in a
preseason poll for the six-team
league.
Ail-American Case: Ali Business?
By Michele Williams
The Longwood College
soccer team, which has lost only
15 games in four years, has
never had one of its members
play professional soccer.
However, Darryl Case,
Longwood's only three-time Ail-
American soccer player, and
recipient of numerous athletic
awards, will soon be eligible for
professional soccer tryouts. Case
has been at Longwood for five
years and will graduate in
December 1984, thus qualifying
him for a professional tryout in
the spring.
Case began playing soccer his
sophomore year of high school
in Cincinnati, Ohio where he
was born and raised "1 never
picked up a ball before than
(sophomore year) but, when
you quit growing you can't play
much football," he said jokingly.
Now, seven years later, Case's
natural skill on the soccer field
have proven beneficial to his
future outlook.
Case withdrew from the
University of Cincinnati after one
semester, and his cousin, who
played soccer for Longwood at
the time, talked him into pur-
suing his talents on the Lancer
field. Even though Longwood
was considerably smaller than
the University of Cincinnati,
Case said that he "liked the
'smallness" of Longwood
because 1 am more of a standout
student playing here then 1 ever
would have been at such a large
school as the University of
Cincinnati." Evidently, he has
been and continues to be a
standout student. With a 3.0
average he has been on the
athletes honor roll for five
semesters, and at the same time
has been an important link in
Longwood's defensive team.
Even though graduation is
quickly approaching Case is
undecided as to what his future
plans will be. "A few pro coaches
have talked with me, but, right
now it's up in the air as to what
I'll end up doing," he said.
Rich Posipanko, the head
coach of the Lancer soccer
team, believes that Case has a
good chance of making it
professionally. Coach Posipanko
said that "Darryl will definitely be
offered a couple of tryouts, but,
whether or not he will make it I
can't say." Posipanko feels that
Case is a natural athlete but
needs "a slight readjustment of
his attitude so that he really
wants, because the ability to do
is there," Posipanko said. Since
Case is the only athlete in the
history of the All-American team
to be chosen three consecutive
years his shot at the pros is
greater. Whatever Case decides
to do "he will be successful at
it -business, soccer— anything,"
Posipanko said.

Grapplers Compete in N.C.
By Jim Winkler
The 1984-85 edition of the
Longwood wrestling team had
its second competition in the
Winston-Salem State Tour-
nament last week-end with three
members placing well.
Junior Tim Fitzgerald placed
second in the 118 weight class,
sophomore Pete Whitman third
in the 142 weight class and
junior Tommy Eaves fourth in
the 158 class. Senior Steve
Albeck made it to the semifinals
in the 150 class but defaulted
due to an injured shoulder.
Also competing for Longwood
Friday-Saturday were Mark Cary
118 weight class, 126 pounder
Long Phan, 142 pounder
Tommy Gilbert, 158 pounder
David r^offett. 167 pounder
Billy Howard, 177 pounders
Kenny Lewis and David Taylor,
190 pounder Tracy Kilby and
heavyweight Jesus Strauss.
Head coach Steve Nelson
feels his team is much more
improved from last year.
"For the first time we have
balance in all weight classes and
are fairly competitive in up-
perweights," said Nelson.
"Although the team is inex-
perienced, the wrestlers have a
good team attitude and are
working to improve."
The Lancers returned eight
from last year with Fitzgerald,
Albeck. Gilbert and Howard
leading the way. William Mit-
chell, a 150 pounder, and 158
pounders Jim Seltzer and
Moffett, and Timmy Chastain,
134 pounds, also returned.
Three state champions head
the newcomers to the squad —
freshmen Taylor and Lewis who
are competing for the 177
weight class and Strauss, who
was the private school state
champion.
Other newcomers include 150
pounder Neal Sweeney and 167
pounder John Bellflower.
Sweeney suffered an injury in
the spring, but should be able to
compete in January. Cary,
Whitman, Eaves, Kilby and
Phan round out the list of
newcomers.
Coach Nelson has set two
goals for his team— one is to
have a winning season and the
other is to be one of the top two
teams in the region.
"If we wrestle well we have the
potential to reach these two
goals," said the Lancer coach.
"We face our toughest schedule
ever including Division I schools,
Virginia Tech, VMI, William and
Mary and Brown, so it will be a
challenge," added Nelson.
Longwood will next compete
in the Pembroke State Tour-
nament November 16-17. The
team's first home match is set for
November 27 against Lynchburg
and Chowan at 6:00 p.m.
Strauss Named Player of the Week
FARMVILLE, VA-Freshm-
an heavyweight Jesus Strauss
won the heavyweight title in the
James Madison Takedown
Tournament November 3 and
for his performance, Strauss has
been named Longwood College
Player of the Week. Player of
the Week is chosen by the
Longwood Sports Information
Office.
Strauss pinned Chowan's
Gannon in the second period
after trailing 13-4 to win the
tournament title. In compiling a
3-0 tourney record, he
decisioned Cowne of Virginia
Tech in the semifinals and beat
Gross of Elon 12-0 in the
opening round.
"Jesus wrestled very well in
his first collegiate competition,"
said coach Steve Nelson. "He is
extremely quick and mobile for
his size."
"We are very fortunate to
have a wrestler of his experience
and ability in our program. As he
matures, I anticipate he will
become an outstanding heavy-
weight."
Strauss, is a graduate of Fork
Union Military Academy and he
was State Private School
champion last year in the heavy-
weight division.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesdav, November 13, 1984
The Equal Rights Amendment: A Lifetime Guarantee
What does the ERA provide?
Equality of rights under the law
shall not be denied or abridged bi;
the United States or b\; an\j state on
account of sex
The ERA provides that women
and men are equal under the law.
This does not mean that women
and men are the same, but that the
law cannot treat them differently
solely because of their sex. ERA
applies to government action, but
not to private action.
Constitutional amendment is our
highest form of lawmaking. It is a
method used sparingly (only 26
times in our 200 year history), and
only when there is a need to
establish a principle not yet included
in the Constitution. For example,
race discrimination was not illegal
under the Constitution until 1868,
the year the fourteenth amendment
was adopted. The principle that
women and men are equal before
the law is not now expressed in the
Constitution.
Because our Constitution does
not contain a guarantee of equal
rights for women and men under
the law, the nation's statute books
and government practices have
always closed doors and limited
opportunities solely on the basis of
sex. Throughout our history,
legislators have passed numerous
laws that mandate or presuppose
different roles for men and women.
These laws harm all people whose
talents, preferences, or life situations
make them unable or unwilling to
conform to the stereotype for their
sex. Until five years ago, the
Supreme Court consistently upheld
even the most blatantly arbitrary
and unjust laws— laws that said
women couldn't be lawyers or
bartenders, laws that effectively
kept women off juries, laws that
limited women's working hours and
thus denied them overtime pay and
promotions In 1971, the Court
began to find some sex
discriminatory laws un-
constitutional, but the Court's
position vacillates from case to case
In 1974, for example, the Court
held that if was not even sex
discrimination to deny pregnant
workers disability payments for their
pregnancy-related disabilities when
all other workers were entitled to
disability payments, whatever the
cause of their disability Men, too,
felt the impact of unequal laws when
the Court ruled that same year that
needy widowers could be denied
property tax exemptions available to
widows.
Such laws are unjust because they
use gender rather than ability or
need to determine an individual's
rights, responsibilities and benefits.
The effect of these laws is to steer
people into sex tracks and to deny
them freedom to choose the path
marked out by their own capacities
and aspirations. Some sex
discriminatory laws were intended
to serve worthy purposes, but those
purposes can be accomplished more
effectively by legislation based on
what people do, rather than who
they are — women or men Laws
can treat people according to their
function rather than their sex. For
example, laws that keep women off
juries have been premised on the
belief that mother? want to stay
home to take care of their children;
such laws can be rewritten to excuse
from jury service any person (man
or woman) actually engaged in
caring for a child or other dependent
relative. A law written in this
manner protects women and men
who need to stay home because of
the job they are doing there. At the
same time, a law so written would
assure that greater numbers of
women, including all those without
dependent care responsibilities, will
serve on juries. Similiarly, tax
exemptions designed to help needy
elderiy people can be written to help
all such needy persons (whether
male or female.
Adoption of the ERA is necessary
to safeguard to all persons the right
to pursue their individual talents and
capacities free of sex discrimination.
This assurance will be accomplished
by the ERA's firm direction for an
end to outmoded sex-role
stereotyping in laws and govern-
mental practices. Government
should not pigeon-hole people on
the basis of their sex. Rather, it
should respond to the needs of
individuals and the functions they
perform. Only by amending our
Constitution to provide for equal
treatment for men and women
under the law can we thoroughly
and comprehensively wipe out the
sex discrimination that has pervaded
our legal system for the past two
hundred years, and insure equal
justice in the future.
Does the equal protection clause
of the fourteenth amendment
eliminate sex discrimination?
No. The equal protection clause
of the fourteenth amendment was
adopted after the Civil War for one
central purpose— to prohibit race
discrimination. In the current
century, the United States Supreme
Court has interpreted that clause in
race cases with unyielding vigor;
race discrimination is consistently
declared impermissible under the
equal protection clause. This is not
the case with sex discrimination.
Not until 1971 did the Supreme
Court rule in favor of a woman who
complained of unconstitutional sex
discrimination. Since then, the
Court has upheld sex discrimination
in some cases and rejected in
others This inconsistency shows
that the fourteenth amendment,
though it supplies a clear principle to
guide the Court's action in race
discrimination cases, does not
provide such a principle in cases of
sex discrimination. The ERA would
provide that principle— it would
reflect the public consensus that sex
discrimination is a matter of national
concern and that its eradiction is a
national priority.
Why not eradicate sex
discrimination through statutory
reform?
First, there is a fundamental
difference between statutory reform
and constitutional amendment.
Only the latter provides a basic
principle, cutting across all areas of
official, governmental action, and
superseding all sex discriminatory
laws, regulations, policies and
practices. Much of the sex
discrimination people encounter is
the result not of sex discriminatory
statutes, but of unwritten policies
and practices. For example, failure
to give the same vocational training
to women in prisons as is given to
men is not generally the result of a
discriminatory statute — it is
generally a matter of practice.
Statutory reform would not
necessarily change it. The ERA,
however, would provide a firm legal
basis for challenging that sex
discrimination.
In addition, statutory change is
often a slow process. Legislatures
generally undertake basic reform
only in response to irresistible
pressure. The ERA would provide
that pressure. It has already
provided the impetus for significant
change in many state legislatures. If
the ERA dies, we can expect reform
efforts to be shelved while
legislatures turn to business they
consider more urgent.
Finally, it is easier to pass a sex
discriminatory law than to repeal a
constitutional amendment. Only a
constitutional amendment provides
protection for the future, insuring
that government will not attempt to
reinstitute old forms of
discrimination.
What will the ERA do?
The most important across-the-
board effect the ERA will have is to
outlaw sex discrimination by
government in much the same way
the fourteenth amendment outlaws
race discrimination. No longer will
courts have leeway to uphold sex
discriminatory practices as they
have, often casually or even flip-
pantly, for the past hundred years.
As recently as 1976, for example, a
United States Court of Appeals
ruled that girls could be barred from
a public, all-male, prestige high
school even though that school
offered science facilities— such as a
planetarium and cyclotron — not
available in the supposedly
"comparable" gids' school. Under
the ERA, "separate but equal"
public schools would be as illegal for
boys and giris as they are now for
blacks and whites.
The ERA would reach a broad
range of widely used sex-
discriminatory laws and government
practices. For example, the ERA
would outlaw securely and per-
manently these practices harmful to
women;
•all discrimination in public schools,
from de facto segregation of
vocational schools to exclusion of
women from athletics programs;
•discrimination in public em-
ployment such as that which
relegates women to the lowest-paid
jobs;
•discrimination against pregnant
workers which denies them such
government benefits as unem-
ployment compensation when they
are able to work anp temporary
disability payments when they are
unable to work;
•denial of social security and other
government benefits to the families
of employed women, when those
benefits are paid to the families of
employed men;
•denial to women prisoners of
education and recreation benefits
commonly given men, such as law
libraries, physical exercise facilities
or training for more highly paid
"men's" jobs;
•prosecution of female (but not
male) juveniles for minor offenses
like staying out late;
•quotas on women's enlistment in
the military, and bars on such
vocational opportunity as pilot
training;
•requirements that married women
use their husband's surnames,
rather than their own birth names,
for such purposes as voting or
motor- vehicle registration;
•all sex-based legal presumptions
with regard to the ownership or
control of marital property, for
example, presumptions that all
household goods are owned by the
husband; and
•statutory age differences which, for
example, subject girls to juvenile
offender laws punishing non-
criminal behavior until they are 18
but boys only until they are 16, or
establish different ages of majority
for various legal purposes.
The ERA would also end the
attitude embodied in the law that
women are second-class citizens
with second-class responsibilities. If
a military draft is reenactcd, both
men and women will be subject to
the draft; parents with child-care
responsibilities could be exempt, of
course, as long as the exemption
applied to both men and women.
Similariy, women will be equally
responsible for jury duty, and men
and women alike will be excused
when child or other dependent care
obligations conflict with jury service.
Finally, alimony (maintenance) and
child support laws will not rest on
the notion that all men are in-
dependent breadwinners and all
women are dependent caretakers of
home and children. Dependent
men who have fulfilled homemaker
and child-rearing roles will be en-
titled to maintenance and child
support if their wives are family
breadwinners; dependent women in
the same situation would continue
to be entitled to maintenance for
themselves and support for children
in their custody.
Will the ERA wipe out the right of
a woman and her children to be
supported by her husband?
No. This scurrilous
misrepresentation has been ad-
vanced by ERA opponents to scare
the public. The ERA would require
that any support be written in a sex
neutral fashion — ie, that support
flow from the spouse able to give it
to the spouse who needs it. In most
cases, this means support will run
from the husband to the wife and
children. No spouse who needs
support would be denied it as a
result of the ERA. As a practical
matter, most states have already
conformed their support laws to this
sex neutral principle. Thirty-three
states now have support laws that
do not designate the sex of the
spouse on whom the support
obligation is placed.
The dwindling minority of states
that still have sex-discriminatory
support laws will have two years
from the day the ERA is adopted to
rewrite their law in a sex neutral
fashion. It is preposterous to suggest
that any sane legislature would
repeal support laws
altogether, rather than extend the
right to support to dependent men.
Not only would that be senseless
from a public policy point of view, it
would also be political suicide for
any legislator who voted for repeal
In the unlikely circumstance that a
state does not rewrite a single-sex
support law, a court might have to
do the job. Opponents of the ERA
say that courts would invalidate
nonconforming support laws,
leaving needy women and children
bereft of support. This too is not
true. In deciding what to do with
nonconforming laws, courts would
be guided by the ERA's legislative
history— that is, by favorable
Congressional committee reports
and statements of the ERA's
Congresssional sponsors or of
committee members supporting the
ERA. The ERA legislative history on
support laws unequivocally states
that
. . where one spouse is the
primar\i wage earner and the other
runs the home, the wage earner
would have a du(y to support the
spouse who stains at home in
compensation for the performance
of her or his duties.
(Senate Judiciary Committee's
Majority Report, as reprinted in the
Congressional Record, March 22,
1972).
Guided by this legislative history,
courts would extend a single-sex
support law to the previously ex-
cluded sex in order to save its
constitutionality. Thus, a genuinely
dependent husband would be able
to seek maintenance payments from
a breadwinner wife under this
extension principle. If a breadwinner
husband were to try to avoid paying
maintenance to a dependent wife,
by arguing that a single-sex support
law should be invalidated under the
ERA, the court would likely find he
was not the proper party to raise the
issue, since he was not arguing for
extension of support as Congress
intended.

Lancaster Offers Online Search
By Lisa Jessup
Online searching or literature
search, a service offered by the
Reference Department at
Lancaster Library, gives a
person a choice between
manually searching a printed
index or abstract and having a
computer do the searching.
Usage of the online search
provides access to over 300 data
bases. The data bases are
reached through different
commercial vendors.
Currently, Lancaster Library
has access to DIALOG In-
formation Services, Inc., located
in California. The library is in the
process of acquiring access to
the Bibliographic Retrieval
System (BRS) in New York.
The online search provides
the user with a comprehensive
bibliography on the specific topic
searched. The bibliography can
be printed online at the library or
offline at the data base and
mailed to the library. Having the
is
bibliography printed offline
cheaper because computer time
is the basis for the price of the
service.
The library charges the user of
the service the same amount
they are charged. The price is
determined by connect time with
the computer. Mr. Stwodah,
head of the online search,
estimated costs by the connected
hour ranging from $25 to $300
depending on the data base.
However, most searches usually
average $10 to $15. A com-
munication cost of a long-
distance telephone call to
California is also added because
the computer terminal com-
municates with the one in
California by ordinary telephone
lines.
Comparing the cost with a
manual search, the advantages
of the online search are speed,
current information, and a
printed customized bibliography.

SGA Presidential Candidates Express Views
By Kelly Sickler
When I was asked to write this essay, 1 had a
hard time trying to decide what to write about. I
decided not to dwell on my list of qualifications
because I believe that there are probably a lot of
people who are better qualified than I am to be
SGA President — but they are not running. I also
don't want to slander my opponent for no reason
because I feel that anybody concerned enough to
commit themselves to something as important as an
SGA office deserves the utmost respect. In ad-
dition, I didn't want to go on and on with campaign
promises that I probably wouldn't be able to keep.
So what 1 am left to write about is what I believe and
what 1 would like to see happen.
First of all, 1 think that there are some problems
on campus which I would like to see lessened if not
completely resolved. One of these problems is the
parking situation. 1 don't want to focus specifically
on this issue, and I know that there are a lot of
people who have tried to improve the situation.
However, I feel it is time to do something about it.
Possible solutions may include restricting incoming
freshmen from having cars on campus or improving
the current parking pjan.
In addition, 1 woiifd like to see the students work
with the Administration on problems such as
overcrowded housing. It just isn't logical to me that
we allow students to live in residence hall kitchens
while others are refused permission to live off
campus. Possible solutions to the situation include
allowing fraternities and sororities off-campus
housing. 1 don't feel that, in its current state,
Longwood can continue to increase it enrollment
without improving the housing and dining hall
situations.
In conclusion, I would like to stress that this
College exists for the students; we must improve it
or live with it. These are but a few of the ideas
which I would like to see implemented. It is not as
important that you agree with them, as it is that you
consider them and vote wisely on Thursday.
By Garth Wentzel
Since this is the first opportunity any candidate at
Longwood has had to express his or her opinion on
what the SGA can do for the students, I v^ill be brief
but to the point.
Most students don't realize how much an active
and strong SGA can help their own lives here at
Longwood. The college is scheduled to begin a
strategic planning process next year to make basic
decisions about the direction of the college for the
next decade. I would like to ensure that the
opinions of the student body will be heard during
this process, and that we will have our say on such
matters as revision of the academic program, the
growth of the college, off-campus housing, meal
plan options and other matters which will affect
student life at Longwood.
I have always voted in school elections in the
past but the whole election process seemed to be
little more than a guessing game. After all, how can
one honestly vote for a candidate just by reading
what that person has accomplished and why he or
she feels they can do the job better. Those are
qualities which every candidate should have, or
why run for office in the first place.
I feel that a large part of the lethargy shown by
Longwood students during elections is due to the
election process itself. It is in need of basic revision
and elections should be scheduled and publicized
far in advance so the students learn more about the
candidates and the issues put before them.
Finally, my only involvement with SGA has been
serving on the Judicial Board; however, if elected I
will do my best to make SGA work for all of us.
Speaker Challenges "Southern Belle" Image
By Kent Booty
Many 19th-century Southern
women conformed in ap-
pearance but not in reality to the
"Southern Belle image." said the
keynote speaker at a Longwood
College symposium on Feminist
Self-Expression.
Dr. Elizabeth Baer, an ad-
ministrator and English professor
at Sweet Briar College, gave the
keynote address during the
symposium, held Nov. 9-10.
She used Scarlet O'Hara, the
heroine in Gone With The Wind,
as an example of this
dichotomy between "outward
image and inward reality."
"Outwardly, she conforms to
this image of the Southern Belle.
Inwardly, though. Scarlet keeps
her own counsel. She's true to
herself,.. She's split between
Continued on page two
outward image and inward
reality. There's something
different inside."
Despite her "outward ap-
pearance" as a stereotypical
Southern Belle, Scarlet opened
the first female-owned business
in Atlanta atter the War,
defended her home by shooting
a Yankee soldier and could
count figures quicker than any
man in the novel, said Baer.

Marilyn Simpson-Johnson and the exhibit "Portrait of Private
and Public Lives."

Campus Images
By Carol Wilson
NOCR Editor
Two images of campus life
have dominated the media this
fall: One portrays college
students as serious-minded
political conservatives, dressed
in natty pinstripes, and firmly
entrenched in the Reagan camp.
The other depicts them as beer-
craving fools, rioting for the right
to party to excess, angrily op-
posing anyone who expects
them to behave as adults.
It's not surprising that the
student rioters have been
universally panned, by the
national and campus media. But
there's also an undertone to
coverage of the conservative
movement on campus which
implies that it's merely a
reflection of growing selfishness
and materialism.
Though contradictory, both of
these images are grounded in
truth. Yes, today's active young
politicos seem more interested in
corporate profits and a strong
national defense than in rallying
for peace, love, and universal
happiness. And yes, distur-
bances at Illinois State U.,
Purdue, and Kansas State,
among other schools, have
given administrators everywhere
reason for concern.
These two images can even be
seen as different sides of the
same coin— or should I say the
same dollar bill. It's well
documented that today's college
student enters school knowing
that jobs are tight, facing intense
pressure to succeed, and craving
the high-priced lifestyle our
consumer society so actively
promotes.
Perhaps those students
heavily involved in the GOP
cause are more hopeful about
the years ahead. They believe in
what Reaganomics has ac-
complished thus far.
The rioters, whose "protests"
often start out as parties, don't
seem to share that hope. The
future they see doesn't merit
sacrificing the here and now,
especially their right to get
drunk. Is it coincidental that
many of the student riots have
occurred in the industrial
Midwest, an area particularly
hard hit by the recession, and
one which hasn't fait many of
Reaganomics' benefits?
But if both these viewpoints
come in for criticism, is there any
way a college student can win?
One has to wonder. Several
college administrators have
spoken out this fall, blasting
students for not taking a greater
interest in the threat of nuclear
war. Yet the most publicized
protests along that line— the
now-famous "cyanide pill"
referenda at Brown and
Colorado State— have been
criticized as being too defeatist.
If ever there was a time for
administrators, especially those
in student services, to speak out
about the good things happening
on campus, this is it. I realize I
may be setting this publication
up for criticism on that score, for
we don't back away from
covering negative stories. But we
also talk a lot about what
students are doing for others.
And they're doing a lot.
Young people are still active
as volunteers, they are in-
creasingly involved in making
decisions on campus, and in
such efforts as peer advising.
While the much-publicized few
are in drunken riots, many
under-publicized efforts are
under way in Greek
organizations and elsewhere to
curb student drinking.
It's impossible to control what
the media will cover. The
negative always seems to be
more newsworthy. But at the
rate things are going, a good
word will be so rare, it just might
rate headlines.

Gone With The Wind, "very
intentionally set up this
(dichotomous) character. This is
a theme which runs throughout
women's literature and, in fact,
throughout women's lives."
The symposium was part of
Project Feminist Self-
Expression, directed by Marilyn
Simpson-Johnson, associate
professor of social work at
Longwood. The project is
supported by a grant from the
Virginia Foundation for the
Humanities and Public Policy.
Several other women also
spoke, including Dr. Carolyn
Craft, president of the Farmville
Ministerial Association and
professor of English at
Longwood; Vera Allen,
president of Church Women
United of Farmville; and
Delegate Mary Sue Terry. A
panel of 13 local women, most
of whom are active in the
community, discussed their lives
and charitable service.
The symposium was intended
to focus on "the average, or-
dinary, everyday woman who
has accomplished a great deal
against the odds," said Mrs.
Simpson- Johnson.
In conjunction with the
symposium, two special
exhibitions were on display in
received little education.
The "myth" of the Southern
Belle was created in the 1830s-
40s when many white
Southerners thought their
society was falling apart, said
Baer. Also, many Southerners
felt threatened by the abolition
movement and women's rights
movement which were growing
at that time. "The deference of
chivalry was very imprisoning for
women."
Southern women were
"completely conscious of the
split between external image and
inward reality. They knew it was
impossible to live up to the
ideal." Unfortunately, Baer
added, women in the South still
have to live with this image.
Dr. Craft and Mrs. Allen
discussed Christian feminism.
Religion historically has been "a
source of liberation and in-
spiration but also a source of
oppression for women." said
Craft, an Episcopal minister.
Although Christianity has been
marked by a "continued
teaching of spiritual equality,"
society has "mitigated" against
that goal.
Jesus was a "great liberator"
up women and elevated them to
an equal status with men, Craft
said. This led to them having
leadership roles in the 1st-
Room 127. Wynne Building, on century Church. By the fourth

Women: Achievements Against
the Odds" is a traveling
exhibition, and "Portrait of
Private and Public Lives" is a
collection of artifacts that
illustrate the life of women in
Prince Edward County. The
latter exhibit will remain until
around Dec. 1.
Dr. Baer noted that fewer than
10 percent of women in the
antebellum South lived on
plantations. They often were
physically "worn out" from
bearing and rearing children,
they were isolated, and they

Campus Events
The Stripping has stopped at Idaho State
University football games, simply because the
pep band has stopped playing "The Stripper"
during football games. Past pep bands played
the song at the end of the third quarter, ac-
companied by five to six impromptu student
strippers. This year, however, a majority of band
members objected to the tradition, and the band
director agreed to cut the song.
An Enrollment Cap is being pushed by the
Duke University Association of Students. Its
senate passed and sent to the trustees a
resolution calling for limiting enrollment at
5,700. So far, the trustees haven't acted on the
request. Duke's current enrollment is just over
5,800.
Citing an "embarrassing lack of student in-
terest," the California college's trustees have
decided to junk the student government. Texas
and Georgia briefly dissolved their student
governments in 1980, but only by a student
vote. Both schools have installed new govern-
ments.
Student Use of cocaine is up, in part because
more college-bound high school students are
experimenting with the drug. Research from the
University of Michigan, Arizona State University
and the University of California-Davis shows a
steady increase in college use of cocaine, as the
cost of the drug drops. Drug treatment centers
report higher usage in rural areas than many
suspect, and are encouraging colleges to
develop better drug abuse policies.
The Black Student Union at the University of
Northern Illinois is pushing for a separate ac-
tivities/programming fee for blacks, saying they
aren't adequately represented in the current
Student Association budget. In response, the SA
is discussing a plan to guarantee minority
representation on its programming comm.ittees.
To Improve Faculty-Student Relations, the
University of Southern California Office of
Residential Life is sponsoring a "take a professor
to lunch" program., in conjunction with academic
departments. The Faculty Entree program
encourages students to invite a professor to
lunch in a campus dining hall, with the program
picking up the guest's lunch bill. Since most
faculty members are on campus for lunch, it's
hoped that Faculty Entree will encourage more
informal contact.
A Mock "Citizen's Arrest" of recruiters from a
nuclear weapons firm temporarily halted the
company's presentation at a Brown University
career informational session. Students were
protesting the presence on campus of Electric
Boat, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, and
producer of the Trident Submarine. Despite the
protest, the firm will hold placement interviews
at Brown. At Kent State University, about 20
protestors marched on campus to oppose
Central Intelligence Agency recruiting, while at
Yale University, angry students fired hostile
questions at CIA representatives attending a
career information session.

Bolding Chosen For Committee
Longwood baseball coach
Buddy Bolding has been picked
to serve on the South Atlantic
Regional Selection Committee
for NCAA Division II for 1985.
The Committee will determine
which teams from the South
Atlantic Region, which stretches
from Pennsylvania to Georgia,
are to participate in the NCAA
Division II Baseball Tournament

By Hoke Currie
Norfolk, VA— For the second
time in a week Longwood's 6-6
senior forward David Strothers
came through with some late game
shooting heroics, and the result was
a heart-stopping 73-71 victory over
Christopher-Newport Saturday
night in the Virginia Wesleyan
doubleheader.
With the score tied 71-71 and six
seconds showing on the clock,
Strothers picked up a loose ball
under the Captains basket and
headed up court at break-neck
speed. The Lancer eager put up a
running onc-handcr that seemed to
go in, come out, and then drop
through the basket as the buzzer
sounded.
The win, which avenged a 63-57
loss to Christopher-Newport last
Tuesday, was a big one for
Longwood, now 3-2. Friday night a
talented Virginia Wesleyan squad
had handed the Lancers a 74-69
defeat.
After playing their first five games
on the road, the Lancers return
home this week to host always
strong Virginia State Wednesday
night at 7:30 and then the Par-Bil's
Tip-Off Tournament Friday and
Saturday.
Longwood has yet to beat
Virginia State in four tries and the
Trojans beat Livingstone 101-98 in
their opener last Monday.
The Lancers will face Coastal
Carolina Friday night at 7; GO and
High Point will meet Francis Marion
at 9:00 in opening round Par-Bil's
Tournament action. The con-
solation tilt is set for 6:30 and the
championship for 8:30 Saturday
night.
Longwood may need some more
of Strothers late-game heroics this
week. It was Strothers who scored
eight of his game high 24 points in
overtime to lead the Lancers by
Clinch Valley 77-68 Nov. 17. But,
just like in the win over Clinch
Valley, Strothers had plenty of help
from his friends Saturday night
against Christopher- Newport.
While Strothers scored six points
on an off-night, guard Kevin Ricks
pumped in 18, hitting seven of 10
from the floor, and sky-walking
forward Kenneth Fields also tallied
18 points on seven of 1 1 shots from
the floor.
It was Ricks and Fields who kept
Longwood in the game and set the
stage for an amazing comeback in
the final 1:42.
With Christopher-Newport
leading 70-65 the Lancers got some
unexpected help from the Captains
head coach C. J. Woollum. Fields
appeared to walk while diving for a
loose ball at CNC's end of the court.
When no call was made and
Longwood got possession,
Woollum let the officials know what
he thought of the non-call.
Woollum was whistled for a
technical and Strothers calmly
dropped in two free throws, making
the score 70-67 with L42 left The
free throws extended Strothers
string of consecutive charity tosses
to 38 in a row over two seasons.
He's 14" 14 this year
Junior guard Frank Tennyson
made Woollum pay double for his
hasty words when he dropped in a
shot from the baseline 10 seconds
later, bringing Longwood within 70-
69
Captains scoring leader Buck
Moore, who ended up with 27
points, hit the first of a onc-and-one
with 1:13 left, but missed the
second Longwood had the
rebound with a chance to tie.
Lancer senior Tim Wilson, who
sparked his team off the bench,
knotted the game at 71-71 with a
jumper from the lane at the 0:50
mark.
Disdaining a timeout to set up a
last-second shot, Christopher-
Newport tried to get the ball to

David Strothers
Moore in scoring position. Finally,
as the clock wound down, 5-6 point-
guard Rodney Myrick drove toward
the basket. Ricks blocked Myrick's
shot and Strothers came up with the
ball before taking off downcourt for
the winning shot.
"This was definitely a big win for
us," said Longwood coach Cal
Luther. "After losing two in a row
we're really glad to come back and
squeeze out a victory."
"Our defense has been very
good, but our offense is still in-
consistent," said the coach. "1 was
pleased to see our shooting improve
(Longwood shot 53 percent
Saturday night), but we're still
missing too many easy shots.
"I was delighted to see Kevin
(Ricks) give us some outside
shooting. That had been lacking the
last several games. Fields (Kenneth)
improves with each game, both
offensively and defensively. We're
going to be taking advantage of his
abilities more in the future.
"We also got some good play off
the bench for the second night in a
row. Tim Wilson got some timely
baskets for us and Frank (Tennyson)
came in and played good defense.
Dave Edwards also played better
tonight. He shot the ball the way
he's capable of doing."
Edward scored nine points and
pulled down seven rebounds
despite being hampered by foul
problems.
While Longwood lost to Virginia
Wesleyan 74-69 Friday, the Lancers
staged a late comeback keyed by
Wilson's play off the bench. In all
Wilson scored 11 points. Twice he
stole the ball, drove the length of the
court and jammed it. A third steal
resulted in a driving layup. Lonnie
Lewis backed Wilson with two steals
and six points.
With about five minutes left the
Blue Marlins held a 69-53 edge.
Longwood got fast-break layups
from Wilson, Fields and Lonnie
Lewis to begin a 12-0 run that
nearly caught VWC Strothers, who
scored 18 points, tallied the last six
in the rally that chopped the lead to
69-65 with 1:22 still left.
Virginia Wesleyan held on for the
win behind Ed Cowell, who scored
18. Deadeye shooting guard Kevin
Smith scored 25 for the winners.

Soccer Team Ties For Co-Championship
By Mark Holland
Coming from behind twice,
the Longwood Lancers proved
their ability to hang tough and
earned a state co-championship
with Mary Washington when
they tied them 3-3 following two
overtimes. In the first half the
Lancers spotted Mary
Washington a 2-1 lead. All-
Division forward John Kennen
netted his fifteenth goal of the
season to keep Longwood in the
game. The Lancers were fighting
the double disadvantage of not
only playing in front of a very
rowdy Mary Washington crowd
but also of being down a goal in
an intense State Championship
game. Goals rarely come easily
at this level.
Longwood tied it up when
halfback Clay Mulligan brought
the ball up the left side and
passed inside to freshman Mike
Harris. Harris heard Mark
McArdle, another member of the
All-Division team, call for the
ball. After McArdle cut past his
man Harris passed to him with
the goalie coming out quickly.
McArdle knocked it into the right
corner for the goal and a tie.
Going into the first overtime
period, Mary Washington had
the momentum behind them.
Strong play by co-captain Dan
Bubnis and All-Division back
Eric Karn kept Mary Washington
from breaking the tie. The
Lancers started to shift the
momentum and McArdle, Tim
Ford and Mark "The Earl"
Kremen began to put intense
pressure on the goalie. The
Lancers were challenging hard
with three minutes left when
Mary Washington was finally

Search Begins For New Dean
Wentzel Elected SGA
GorskI, WeibI to assume some duties
The duties of the Longwood
Dean of Students were partially
assigned last week for the spring
1985 semester. The resignation
of Dean William Latta in mid-
November necessitated the
assignments which are effective
December 16, a day after Latta
will leave Longwood.
Interim Director of Student
Activities Barbara Gorski will,
says Vice President for Student
'Affairs Phyllis Mable, "be
supervising the Residence
Education Coordinators and
working with residence halls,"
while Director of Housing Rick
WeibI "will be picking up
disciplinary duties."
A national search will be
conducted for a new Dean of
Students in the spring, and
Gorski expects a candidate for
the job to be hired "right after the
school year ends."
Despite some doubt expressed
by some about the atttrition rate
of Longwood administrators and
the process of hiring, Gorski says
"This system allows us to be
selective in the search. [The
hiring of interim administrators]
is a good way to keep all the
systems running ... while we
don't often gain much, we don't
lose ground either."

narrow margin, had a somewhat
easier time of it this year, getting
266 votes from a total of 466
voters.

determine who will hold these
offices for the following year.

This year, by order of the
Academic Affairs Council, our
fall schedule was changed so
that our October Fall break was
deleted and our Thanksgiving
holiday, which occurs in late
November, was extended. Part
of the reasoning behind the
move was that out-of-state
students spent a good part of
their two breaks driving between
home and school. However, ten
weeks of Longwood without a
respite is enough to send anyone
to the funny farm.
Dr. Vail of the Academic
Affairs Office has sympathized
with the students and feels that
"it is important for students to
have some breathing time." The
general opinion held by
professors and students alike
was that a break was long
overdue. Teachers who made
assignments to be completed
during break, as one junior
sarcastically remarked, "1
suppose they (teachers) thought
a taste of pure relaxation would
make it too hard for us to want to
return." More than any other
group the Freshmen have felt
the pressure of the prolonged
stretch. Accustomed to six
weeks' grading periods, ten
weeks proved to be quite a test
for the newcomers, perhaps to
large a test. The University of
Virginia follows the same fall
schedule that has been sustained
here at Longwood. Several
suicide attempts there recently
have gotten the authorities
questioning the long schedule
and the stress buildup that
accompanies it.
With a part-time job, relatives,
homework and an obsession
with food taking up much of the
time, nine days went by very
quickly. For everyone who
survived the Fall of '84 and is still
returning next year, there is
good news. The new fall
calendar, not yet approved, will
include a break in October and
one for Thanksgiving.
Remember, two more weeks
until Christmas.

Legislating the Beast
In a paranoid frenzy last Friday, I spent the af-
ternoon calling student government presidents around
the state. I called and called, screamed and pleaded,
and made much the fool of myself as 1 sought to find a
new wave of protest forming among Virginia college
students. For the final blow to the college community—
at least in the eyes of many students — is soon to be laid
out upon us like a chunk of rotting meat on the butcher's
table.
The elixir of college society, the working god of The
Omnipotent Weekend is being threatened. The Virginia
General Assembly will soon mull over raising the
minimum drinking age to 21, and college students' right
to drink will surely be in question.
So the chances of mass protest on the part of
Virginia students— and in fact students across the
nation— seemed very good. In fact, Russ Thomas,
president of the Student Government Association of
Virginia Tech, told me that Tech students are "going to
work very closely with the Virginia Student Association
to defeat it. . . . We [the Tech SGA] will have six or seven
people lobbying against it."
In addition to such individual efforts being carried
on, a policy statement was issued at a Student Leader
Conference for student government presidents held in
early August. The statement denounced any legislation
to raise the minimum drinking age, proposed stricter
drunk-driving laws, yet offered suggestions for social
programs in anticipation of the minimum age being
raised. So much for student optimism.
Mike Gardner, SGA president at George Mason
University, had few hopes that the bill would be
rejected: "I don't think there is the support for a lower
drinking age which there was a few years ago [when
similar proposals came before the General Assembly] . It
has become important to believe in alcohol awareness. . .
The time has probably come for the law to change— like
it or not."
It seems, however, that the primary reason the law
will change with this General Assembly session is the
$32 million dollars the Commonwealth of Virginia will
lose in 1986 if it fails to enact legislation raising the
minimum drinking age to 21 by that year.
Predictably, Virginia will likely fall right in line with
the wishes of Congress, right in line to the point of
enacting a bill which is by nature unjust in its treatment
of 18-21 year-old U.S. citizens.
Those who fall in that category, however, and
those who support that group, should ask the Virginia
General Assembly to take a stand for its own citizens;
the enactment of this law is no such stand.
The federal legislation itself attempts to cure a body
riddled with bullets with a few band-aids. Would any
responsible practitioner do the same?

Travel Hints Revealed
I
'' I tm C«^ V\VP ^ f^» lYU CMT OiiH^ 8pco ^Hn-SWIHISI^S
By Eric T. Houseknecht
These hints are the result of
exhaustive and painstaking
research conducted during the
all too few vacations which have
been allotted to us, the students,
over the past two and a half
years. Even if your travel plans
include nothing more than
procuring a ride home, you
should not disregard this in-
formation. Simply adjust the
hints to fit your personal needs,
allow for a certain amount of
pilot error and you will benefit
enormously.
1. No matter how desperate
the circumstances, absolutely,
positively, and by no means
should you leave the driving to
Greyhound.
2. It is imperative when flying
coach that you restrain any
tendency toward the vividly
imaginative. For although it may
momentarily appear to be the
case, it is not at all likely that the
cabin is entirely inhabited by
crying babies smoking inex-
pensive domestic cigars.
3. When flying first class, you
may " frequently need to be
reminded of this fact, for it all too
often seems that the only
discernible difference is that the
babies have connections in
Cuba. You will, however, be
finally reassured when the
stewardess drops your drink and
the glass breaks.
4. If, by chance, your mother
suggests that instead of flying
you take the train, risk being
rude.
5. Whether or not you
yourself indulge in the habit,
always sit in the smoking section
of airplane. The coughing will
break up the trip.
6. If you're going anywhere
west of Philadelphia, bring your
own food.
7. Never relinquish clothing to
a hotel valet without first
specifically telling him that you
want it back.
8. If while staying at a
stupendously expensive hotel in
Northern California you observe
that one of your fellow guests
has left his tennis shoes in front
of his door, try to behave
yourself.
9. At more moderately priced
hotels, twenty-four hour room
service generally refers to the
length of time it takes for the club
sandwich to arrive. This is in-
deed disheartening, particularly
when you've ordered scrambled
eggs.
10. Leaving a wake-up call for
three P.M. is certain to result in a
loss of respect from the front
desk and over-familiarity on the
part of bellboys and room-
service waiters.
11. Under no circumstances
should you order from room
service an item entitled 'The
Cheese Festival" unless you are
prepared to have your dream of
colorfully costumed girls of all
nations rolling enormous wheels
of Gruyere and Jarlsberg
replaced by three Kraft slices and
a lot of toothpicks dressed in red
cellophane hats.
12. Calling a taxi in Texas is
like calling a rabbi in Iraq.
13. Without exception, wait
until you get back home to have
your haircut.
14 Carry cash.
15. Stay inside.
16. Call collect.
17 Forget to write. ■

Going To Court
By Lee Richards
It wasn't my fault - really! But
now I have to spend the next
twelve months constantly
checking my speed and making
sure 1 come to a complete stop at
each stop sign.
You see, I had to go to court
last Friday to defend myself
against reckless driving charges.
It seems that one of Virginia's
finest didn't consider a lane
change that I executed as being
one of Virginia's finest.
Therefore, I had to blow off a
day of school to seal my fate in
court.
Unfortunately, or fortunately
as the case may be, the officer
did not appear in court that day
and instead of throwing the case
out, the judge gave me three
options: reschedule the trial for
another day - which I really
didn't want to do; plead guilty to
a lesser charge and just get it
over with; or take the chance of
driving very carefully for the next
year and have all charges
dropped. Well, being the fool
that I am, I went the odds— after
all , how hard can it be ... ?
Driving home with my
mother, I soon discovered the
answer to that question— not so
much in the execution, but in my
level of tolerance... "Watch your
speed, look out for this guy up
here, put your turn signal on,"
etc . . etc . , etc . And that was only
in leaving the parking lot.
Mothers have always been
famous as back seat driver, but
this was getting a little out of
hand.
Driving back to school, 1
realized just how boring 55 miles
an hour is. So as I settled down
to a long, dull drive, 1 started to
make a list of things you can do
for fun while driving, as I wat-
ched other cars flash by at 75. If
you ever get in this situation, or
you often get bored with driving,
you might want to remember a
few of these helpful hints:
•Sing verses of Sammy
Hagar's, "I can't drive 55" and
slap yourself after each chorus.
•Discover that each cloud is
like a rainbow as the sun shines
through them. (You'll need a
pair of sunglasses to get the full
effect of this one!)
•Pick out a cloud and see how
The world
is waiting.
Be a student.
many different shapes you can
recognize in it.
•Make the strangest, ugliest
faces at the motorists passing
you by and see what kind of
reaction you can get out of
them.
•Play the air guitar along with
the radio, or just sing at the top
of your lungs with as much
feeling as possible (it doesn't
matter if you don't know the
words— make some up if you
have to) and look at the strange,
ugly faces that people make at
you.
•Play air drums and watch the
truckers smile at you because
they think they know what
you're really doing.
•Pretend that you are a state
trooper and trump up imaginery
charges for all those people who
left Washington after you did,
but will still arrive in Richmond
20 minutes before you do.
•Think about what you want
to be when you grow up.
Remember, as my good friend
John Jeans always used say,
people will come from all over
the state to run into you, so
always be on the defensive. It's a
real jungle out there . . .
Novel Lovers: Catch Up!
By Michael Lund
December will be a good
month for serial fiction lovers to
catch up with the only in-
stallment novel currently being
published: Tom Wolfe's The
Bonfire of the Vanities, ap-
pearing a chapter at a time in
Rolling Stone.
Through a variety of programs
in recent years, Longwood has
promoted new interest in the
installment novel, a major form
for classic fiction of the last
century, from Thackeray's
Vanity Fair Tolstoy's Anna
Karinina. Next semester, for
instance, freshmen in
Longwood's English 101 will be
studying in depth Charles
Dickens serial classic of 1852-
53, Bleak House.
When Wolfe announced that
he would publish his new work,
a novel, in Rolling Stone last
summer, many on the campus
excitedly bought the first issue
and subscribed to the magazine.
Readers have not been
disappointed in what Rolling
Stone characterizes as "a tale of
conceit and deceit in the City of
Ambition," New York. The
novel is about midway through
its story at Chapter 13, "The
Hoople: Noxious Auras . . .
Loathsome Strategies . . . and a
Moment of Truth."
The December 20th-January
3rd Special Double Issue of
Rolling Stone is a good op-
portunity for students, faculty,
and administrators to take up
Wolfe's tale if they haven't been
reading since the summer when
the story began. The author
includes a thorough recap of the
first twelve chapters before
proceeding with his story.
Wolfe's story offers many of
the special features of classic
serial tales, including cliff-
hanging endings, building
suspense, and multiple subplots
with a variety of characters.
We've got
your basics...

Student Development
By Barrett Baker
As an effort to help students
get the most out of Longwood,
the department for Student
Development has created a
project involving the 14 goals
outlined in the new college
catalogs to stress self-
improvement.
According to Student
Development Educator, Kathe
Taylor, a lot of students are
under the impression that they
have to go to college in order to
succeed in today's ultra-
competitive society. But they
need more than just a degree.
"We are trying to get students
to answer the question, 'What
am I doing here?' by helping
them understand why they are
here and to focus them on where
they are going. We want
students to see what they can
accomplish while they are here
and to understand how they'll be
different— in a positive man-
ner—when they leave."
The program, which actually
began at the beginning of this
semester, is geared towards
getting students to realize how
they can make a difference. In
order to do so, a survey called
TASK or Test for Attitudes,
Skills & Knowledge was passed
out to 300 Freshmen during
orientation. The survey was
taken from a cross section of the
14 goals involving four specific
areas: effective communication,
sense of awakening, in-
terpersonal effectiveness, and
critical thinking. In conjunction
with the surveys an "opportunity
map", which is designed to show
students how to go about
achieving their goals, has been
developed and soon will be

distributed throughout the
campus.
"This system really is unique."
says Taylor "because it states
what it means to be a • well
rounded person and it tells you
what it takes to get there while
still stressing education. Most
schools are too vague as to what
it means to be "well-rounded" —
after they give you your degree
you're on your own. Most
people just aren't well enough
prepared to handle that."
The follow-up to this project is
personal interviews with each ot
the 300 Freshmen involved with
the survey along with "floor
workshops" in each residence
hall involving upper classmen
and any Freshmen who missed
the original survey.
"The end result of all of this,"
states Meredith Strohm, Director
of Student Services, "is to
identify personal strengths and
weaknesses and then formulate
personal goals from these. We
also want to stress personal
relationships between faculty
and administration with the
students. The students will have
a much easier time here if they
know how to work the system
and if they have people to go to
with questions."
"More than that," states
Strohm, "1 think this program Is
a real confidence booster. It
gives the 'college' students a
chance to compete with
'university' students on the basis
that a job interview is a chance to
really sell yourself to an em-
ployer. If you've got the ex-
perience and the confidence to
do that well, then you're on your
way to becoming a more suc-
cessful person."

Age Of Artifact Found Locally
Is Confirmed By Smithsonian

m
£ Al«x Kambi* displays his 10,000-yearold projectile point he found at Smith-Taylor mound site.
^: Tuesday, July 17, began like
Ihost days at Longwood
f^ollege's Summer Field School
^ Archeology for Alex Kambis.
■ Kambis, a sophomore from
Richmond, was patiently digging
Jpr artifacts with a trowel. He
•had participated in the first five-
Tweek session and now was
.taking part in the second session,
^hich had begun eight days .
earlier.
But he found something that
day which distinguished it from
the rest.
Kambis uncovered the oldest
artifact— it is dated at 10,000
years before the present— that
has been found in three years of
excavation at the Smith-Taylor
Mound site. The age of the
artifact, which is a Hardaway-
Dalton projectile point, recently
was confirmed by a branch of the
Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, D. C.
The anthropological process
laboratory at the National
Museum of Natural History
examined the projectile point
and found that, indeed, it dates
from 10,000 years before the
present, said Dr. James Jordan,
field school director and
associate professor of an-
thropology
It is one of only 18 Hardaway-
Dalton projectile points that have
been found in Piedmont
Virginia, Dr. Jordan said. It
probably was used by hunting
and gathering Indians as a blade
on a spear, or possibly to cut
meat.
"Clearly, it was the tool of a
hunter and gatherer," Dr.
Jordan said. "And it definitely
was used on animals rather than
on vegetation . . The projectile
point is old and relatively
unusual for this part of Virginia."
The artifact is of the common
quartzite rock, is slightly reddish,
and its shape is described in
anthropological terms as
"lobed." A small part of the rock
is missing. Hardaway-Dalton
projectile points were first
discovered in North Carolina,
and are more common there
than in Virginia.
Asked if he knew the artifact
was unusually old when he
found it, Kambis said, "I didn't
know it was particularly old, but I
could recognize what it was (a
Hardaway-Dalton)." After
extracting it from the ground, he
checked a reference book to
make sure it was that type of
projectile point. It will be kept on
campus.
Kambis, a 19-year-old physics
major, said that archeology is
"just something 1 have an in-
terest In." Thirty-eight students
participated In the field school
this past summer. The Smith-
Taylor site is located off U.S.
460, not far from Southside
Community Hospital. Ap-
proximately 900 artifacts— 200
of them projectile points— have
been found at the site.
Most of the projectile points
found at the site date from about
7,000 years before the present,
so there is a 3,000-year "gap" in
the case of the projectile point
found by Kambis, said Dr.
Jordan. Surprisingly, it was
found only about 12 feet from
the tent where the students eat
lunch, meet for class, and
sometimes sleep overnight.
"It's hard to believe," Dr.
Jordan said, shaking his head.
"Probably all 98 students who
have ever worked at the site,
and myself, tramped right over
that spot dozens of times."
Christmas Water Show
This weekend, the Longwood
College Catalinas will present
their annual Christmas water
show in the Lancer Pool. The
event is entitled "A Catalina
Classic Christmas" and will
feature eight (8) routines to the
music of "The Nutcracker" by
Tchaikovsky.
The Catalinas chose the
classical music for the theme of
the show because of its
popularity during the Christmas
season. "We also wanted to do
something different and
unique — a real "water ballet!"
said Cindy Peake-Heath,
Catalina coach and adviser.
Routines will include the familiar
tunes of the "March," "Dance of
the Sugar Plum Fairies," and
"Waltz of the Flowers." One of
the highlights of the show will be
the "Pas de Deux" performed by
the co-ed duet of llkka Keskinen
and Joey Faries.
Show times are: Thursday,
Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday,
Dec. 8 at 2 and 3 p.m.; and
Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m.
Admission is free. Don't miss this
Christmas classic!
CPS — A court okay of a law
forcing Tennessee students to
prove they've registered for the
draft before they can enroll at a
state school could mean students
in other states soon may have to
prove it too. draft opponents
say.
But at the same time, the U.S.
Department of Education last
week said students" honesty in
signing military registration forms
has been so complete the
department won't require
colleges to prove their students'
registration in order to get
student aid.
Until now, students' signatures
on a form swearing they'd
registered for the draft had been
proof enough that they'd ac-
tually signed, but as of January
1, colleges themselves would
have been responsible for
proving students who wanted
federal aid had registered.
Tennessee's new law requires
students to sign forms certifying
they've registered with Selective
Service just to enroll in a state
school, much less to qualify for
federal student aid.
As a result, Memphis State
University refused to let 19-year-
old Thomas Vogel start classes
because he refused to sign the
compliance form.
Vogel then sued the
University and the state,
claiming the law un-
constitutionally involved the
state in enforcing federal
Selective Service laws.
Pointing to a controversial
July 1984 Supreme Court ruling
upholding the Solomon
Amendment— the federal law
which requires students to
prove they've registered for the
draft before they can get federal
aid — U.S. District Judge
Thomas Wiseman recently
approved the Tennessee law.
"As the nation's defense goes,
so goes that of the states,"
Wiseman ruled
No one is sure how much such
laws help. "1 don't believe we've
ever found a nonregistrant
because (he) refused to sign a
college compliance sheet," says
Selective Service spokeswoman
Joan Lamb. "There is no
requirement for colleges to do
anything like turn over the
names of students who don't
sign a compliance form.
In fact, the Selective Service
has prosecuted only 17 of the
estimated 500,000
nonregistrants. Lamb adds.
Both Lamb and the Education
Department say they're im-
pressed with the number of
students who have complied
with the registration law and the
Solomon Amendment.
Edward Elmendorf, assistant
secretary of education, last week
said he was so impressed with
students' "honesty" that he was
relieving colleges of the chore of
proving students were telling the
truth when they signed their
compliance statements.
Still, registration opponents
say they expect more states will
keep trying to link college to the
military in other ways.
A number of states-
Massachusetts, Maine, Penn-
sylvania, California, and West
Virginia among them— already
have toyed unsuccessfully with
laws to keep nonregistrants from
getting aid, says Nora Leyland, a
spokeswoman with the Com-
mittee Against Registration for
the Draft (CARD).
"1 foresee more states enacting
Solomon -like bills tying all kinds
of aid and access to draft
registration," she says. "It's not
going to automatically happen in
every state because the political
horizons are so different. But I
think some states will definitely
try."
The Selective Service's Lamb,
however, doubts such state laws
will affect many students.
"The Solomon Amendment
was terrifically helpful (in getting
students to register)," she says.
"We saw a tremendous jump in
registration in the fall when
many students were returning to
school and applying for aid . "
"It's very difficult at the
national level to tell if the
Tennessee law has made much
of a difference," Lamb says,
since only a small percentage of
eligible students have failed to
register.
Indeed, Vogel is the only
student who has refused to sign
the Tennessee state compliance
form so far, says John Eubank,
Memphis State's dean of ad-
missions.
Beginning this fall, students
"who were eligible to register
were merely required to sign a
statement saying they've
registered for the draft," Eubank
says.
"It means some extra time and
expense, and just one more
haadache during enrollment,"
he says.

Matinee
A Review
By Jerry L. Dagenhart
Sunday night, December 2,
The Series of Performing Arts (in
association with The Chamber
Theatre Repertory) presented
Double Billing, a play in two
acts,
The play was narrative
literature in keeping with the
"Chamber" style of theatre. The
first act dealt with Edgar Allen
Poe's, The Telltale Heart. The
Facts in the Case of Madame
Valdemar. and The Black Cat.
The act was titled Telltale Poe.
However, it would have been
more aptly titled, Melodramatic
Poe as the audience, including
myself, perceived the series
pieces in just that way.
The second act, Icabod's Last
Ride, obviously based on Irving's
The Legend of Sleep]^ Hollow,
apjpeared to be an excerpt from
some children's show in the
Saturday morning lineup.
The acting of the troupe: Neil
'Gustafson. John Stobaeus, Bill
Tripician. Janine K. Venable,
and Gail M Wheeler, was quite
superb. Each member of the
company showed a great deal of
versatility in their ability to
portray multiple charac-
terizations.
The technical aspects, both
due to the "Chamber Co." and
"The Longwood Series of the
Performing Arts" were handled
very professionally. There is no
question as to the abilities of
either group.
The major problem with the
evening entertainment is that the
production, as 1 determined
from one of the actors, was
geared toward middle and high
school students. It seems poor
judgment in selection to provide
this type of production for
college and community
audiences. The audience
seemed to feel cheated in some
\A;ay and as one little old lady
exclaimed, "It certainly wasn't
like last year's A Christmas
Carol. I would hope that in the
future the series will continue
with more wide-appeal
productions as has been a key to
their professionalism in the past.

Student Activities
Fee Committee
Dr. William Montgomery,
associate professor of music at
Longwood College, and 35
students traveled to New York
for the weekend of November 9,
lOand 11.
The initial fee of $90 for the
"New York City or bust"
weekend included the bus
transportation, and hotel ac-
commodations for three days
and two nights.
The purpose of the trip was to
give students an opportunity to
see a broadway production live
on stage, although the broadway
play was not a requirement in
order to participate.
Both music and non-music
majors attended and ap-
proximately 98% of the students
saw either a Broadway or off-
Broadway show. Unfortunately,
a few people could not get
tickets Saturday night because
the box office was sold out.
Tickets were purchased in Times
Square and the lines were
unbelievably long but the wait in
line was well worth it.
The two most popular plays
among the students were
Dreamgirls, released in 1982,
and 42nd Street, released in
1981, Th€S€ two shows in
particular are musicals but have
a great deal of dancing and a
consistent flow of energy.
Greenwich Village and Soho
(meaning south of Houston)
were two of the many "spots"
that were found to be interesting
to all. What made these two
areas so attractive was the
diversity of interests that could
be explored without traveling
back and forth over the city.
During the day you could go
antique shopping or find some
good buys street shopping.
Nightfall brought out the city life
in everyone and the alluring
drinking establishments in
Greenwich and Soho were
experienced. The outdoor cafes
and jazz parlors were perfect for
resting or people watching!
The weekend was successful
in every sense of the word but
three days was just not sufficient
for thorough exploration of such
a hopping, happening city. After
much thought, the word
"chaotic" was the best word to
describe the bustlin' city life,
although overpopulation did
cross our minds.
The trip was eventful for most
and everyone seemed to think
that the $90 was an incredible
bargain. "You just couldn't beat
it for the price," Lisa Bowie said.
On Sunday night, Farmvllle
was a welcome sight as the bus
pulled in the parking lot. If
anyone has the chance, New
York is an exciting, unusual
place to visit for the weekend,
but as the old saying goes, 'i
wouldn't want to live there."
Pat Benatar — Tropic
A Review
Christmas
This month, instead of a
statue of Joan of Arc, the
Rotunda will be graced with the
presence of a towering Scan-
dinavian maple tree. The Peace
Tree, as it is to be called, was
dedicated to World Peace in a
ceremony last Tuesday by the
freshman class. The ceremony,
which was led by freshman class
president Mike Clements,
featured Episcopal Campus
Minister Allen Breckenridge as
well as Dr. Carolyn Craft of the
English, Philosophy, and
Foreign Language Department.
Reading from a prepared text,
Breckenridge described how
down through history, man has
looked upon the tree as a
symbol of life, strength, peace
and faith. In summing up his
remarks Breckenridge said,
"May this tree and its beautiful
lighting be a force for dispelling
the darkness and fear of our
hearts and minds and bring us all
to a desire to work for peace and
justice in our time."

Watch out faithful Benatar
fans— if you think you're going
to find the same belting tunes
that you've come to expect from
renditions such as "Heart-
breaker,'" "Hit Me With Your
Best Shot," and "Hell is For
Children," or if you're waiting for
Patty to go completely new
wave, then you're in for a small
shock— but by no means is it a
disappointing one!
With her recent marriage to
lead quitarist, Neil Geraldo, and
with the onset of motherhood
sometime early next year,
Benatar has matured into a more
mellowed, yet nonetheless
hauntingly powerful performer.
Except for the tracks, "Ooh
Ooh Song," which has a '50s
flavor and "Takin' It Back,"
which begins with a Ragae in-
fluence and then flows into the
more traditional hard rocking

tends to capture the mood of the

Although they may not make

but once you do, it'll be a classic
album that'll get a lot of playing

Shirley Duncan's team visits
Radford next Tuesday in its final
pre-Christmas action.
Coach Duncan felt her team
played extremely well in its
season opener at home last
week.
"I told the girls after the game
that this was the best total team
effort I've seen in a long time,"
said Duncan. "We got help from
our experienced players, the
bench and the new players.
They're adjusting quickly and
that's vital for us,"
Three Lady Lancer cagers
topped the 20-point mark for the
first time in history against the
Firebirds, who came into the
contest with a 2-0 record.
Valerie Turner had 22 points
and 13 rebounds, Florence
Holmes had 20 points and
Caren Forbes notched 21 .
Senior Mariana Johnson had
a fine all-around game with 10
points, 11 rebounds, and four
assists.
Longwood took the lead in
the first half 14-4 behind a 12-0
run and led by as many as 19 in
the second half (76-57) before
UDC cut into the deficit at the
end.
The game featured rough play
(62 fouls were called) and
turnovers (a total of 61), but the
Lady Lancers hit 46 per cent of
their shots from the floor to 26
per cent by the visitors.
"We knew it would be a
physical game," said Duncan.
"Plus, they like to go one-on-
one against teams and once we
saw it we were able to shut them
down."
Longwood used a tough
player-to-player defensive set-up
for much of the contest. The
Firebirds had difficulty getting
good shots.
Duncan was also pleased with
the play of three freshmen
whom she had hoped would be
able to contribute right away.
"I'm especially pleased with
the way they played tonight,"
she said referring to guards
Annette Easterling, Angie Hill
and center Barbie Burton .
Coach Duncan feels her team
will be in good shape if it can
continue the fine play exhibited
in the win over UDC.
The Longwood wrestling team
opened its season on Tuesday,
November 27, with a tri-match
again Lynchburg and Chowan.
The Lancers defeated Lyn-
chburg 47-9, but then suffered a
42-7 loss to Chowan. In the
opening m'atch against Lyn-
chburg, Timmy Fitzgerald,
Kenny Lewis, and Jesus Strauss
all won their match by pins.
Tommy Gilbert won by a
Technical Fall in the 150 pound
division by beating his opponent
by 15 points and Billy Howard
won by a decision of 16-2. Peter
Whitman, Dave Moffett, and
David Taylor all won by forfeit,
Lynchburg not having op-
ponents for them to wrestle.
The Lancers did not do as
well against Chowan. Only
Fitzgerald and Howard could
manage victories, Fitzgerald beat
his opponent 16-5, while
Howard won 7-5. Whitman
wrestled an excellent match a
142, but still lost 6-4. Gilbert also
wrestled well, but he too lost 6-
4. Coach Nelson was pleased
with the team's performance
against Lynchburg but did not
feel that the team wrestled well
against Chowan. "We did not
win the close matches and it hurt
us.
On Saturday, Dec. 1 the
Lancers traveled to Washington
and Lee for the Washington and
Lee wrestling tournament. The
Lancers had four wrestlers place
in the top four of their weight
classes, but could still only
manage a sixth place team
finish. Fitzgerald paced the
Lancers by placing first in the
118 pound division. Whitman
again wrestled well and placed
third in the 134 pound division.
Whitman lost a very close semi-
final match, but came back and
dominated his opponent from
Washington and Lee for third
place. Gilbert placed fourth at
142 pounds. He had a chance to
take third, but had to default
because of an injury. The other
Lancer to place was Howard
who placed third at 167. While
the Lancers improved on their
eighth place finish of last year,
Coach Nelson still feels that the
team can wrestle better. "We
wrestled well, but we are still
losing the close matches. We
need a tougher mental attitude,
and when the guys realize this,
there will be an improvement.
We have the talent to do well,
but we need to get tougher."
The top wrestlers for
Longwood are, Fitzgerald (7-1),
Whitman (10-5), Howard (10-
5), and Gilbert (8-6). The
Lancers will travel to VMl on
Tuesday, Dec. 4, and William
and Mary on Thursday, Dec. 6.

Cagers Even Up At 4-4
Longwood's men's basketball
team hopes Its jjerformance in
last weekend's Par-Bil's Tip-Off
Tournament was a case of losing
the battle but perhaps winning
the war.
The Lancer cagers, now 4-4,
put together their top per-
formances of the season Friday
and Saturday before a large and
appreciative home crowd, but
lost the tournament title to a
solid High Point team 66-63 in
overtime. Longwood rallied
from an 11 -point deficit in the
second half before falling in OT
Saturday night.
This week Coach Cal Luther's
squad winds up pre-Christmas
play hosting a tough Guilford
club (3-1) Monday night and
visiting always strong University
of District of Columbia Saturday
afternoon at 3:00. The contest
at UDC was originally slated for
8:00, but was changed to an
afternoon start last week.
In the second Par-Bil's Tip-Off
Tournament Longwood
defeated Coastal Carolina 89-72
and High Point nipped Francis
Marion 61-58 in first round
action Friday night.
The Lancers came up with 19
steals, got double figure scoring
from five players and blitzed the
Chanticleers with an 11-0 run in
the first half and a 12-2 surge in
the second half. Longwood held
a 63-39 edge with 8:18 to go in
the game before Coastal closed
the gap at the end.
Junior Kenneth Fields topped
the Lancers with 21 points while
Tim Wilson scored 16, David
Strothers had 14. Kevin Ricks

Season
By Tina Popernack
The Longwood riding team
closed their fall season Sunday
by turning in a strong per-
formance at Randolph-Macon
Woman's College in Lynchburg.
Lisa Nelson placed first in both
intermediate on the flat and in
intermediate over fences and
earned the High Point Rider
honors of the day. Bethanne
McCarron placed third in novice
on the flat. Loraine Bishop
placed fourth in both novice on
the flat and in novice over
fences.
Mary Brockwell placed fifth in
intermediate over fences. Mike
Carey placed sixth in novice
over fences. LeaAnne Lawson
cind Robin Levy placed third and
fourth respectively in advanced
walk, trot, canter. Cynthia Settle
placed fifth in beginning walk,
trot, canter. Christina Popernack
IDlaced sixth in advanced walk,
trot.
The Longwood riding team
looks forward to a strong spring
season with many returning
riders.
Walsh, Brit Terry, and Amy
Cook each have one defeat.
Men's Volleyball enters its last
week of competition with four
teams still in the fight for the title.
Encore and Death From Above
are in the winners' brackets with
the Zucchinies and Keggers I in
the losers' bracket.
Men's Pool finished up last
week with Jim Steve being
crowned as champion. Andy
Hamilton finished second while
Jim Black took third place.
Keggers I and K D Ladies took
first place in mens' and womens'
divisions, respectively, of the
swimming relays which were
held last week. Keggers 11
finished in second place in the
men's division while the
Frogettes took second place in
the women's competition.
scored 12 and Frank Tennyson
had 10.
Ricks had perhaps the finest
all-around game by a Lancer this
season with nine rebounds, five
assists and four steals to go with
his points. He also hit 4-5 field
goals and 4-5 free throws.
Wilson played a super game
off-the-bench sparking
Longwood in both halves. He
scored 12 in the second half and
came up with four steals.
Tennyson, who scored 13 points
in a 75-65 loss to Virginia State
Wednesday night, notched six
assists along with his 10 points
and also had four steals.
Heading into Saturday night's
championship contest,
Longwood coach Cal Luther
knew his team would have to
limit its turnovers and play tough
defense. The Lancers came
through on both counts but were
hurt by inconsistency on offense.
"We played good defense, as
we have all season, and we
limited our mistakes, but we just
couldn't get the shots to drop
when we needed them," said
Luther.
After an excellent first half
which ended with High Point up
28-27, the visitors went on a 10-
0 tear at the start of the second
half for a 38-27 lead. The
Lancers played catch-up the rest
of the second half.
A gutty defensive per-
formance helped bring the
Lancers back. High Point's
deliberate, ball-control strategy
back-fired as Longwood tied the
game at 54-54 with 1:44 to go
on two free throws by Tennyson .
Regulation play ended at 56-56
as both teams blew chances to
win in the final minute.
High Point forward Odell
Walker scored four quick points
in overtime and the Panthers
made the lead stand up to claim
the tournament title. Walker, the
tourney MVP, headed the All-
Tournament team along with
teammates Danny Murphy and
Hugh Gelston, Fields from
Longwood and Patrick Callaway
from Francis Marion.
Fields scored 11 of his 13
points in the second half
Saturday night, but fouled out
with 2:47 to go. His absence
hurt Longwood's chances in
overtime. Strothers added 12
points with eight coming in the
second half. Ricks and Wilson
added eight points and Lonnie
Lewis scored seven in the
second half, including the bucket
at 1:11 that eventually brought
on overtime.
Francis Marion captured third
place in the tournament, beating
Coastal Carolina 65-62 in
Saturday night's opening
contest.

Construction To Begin Classes Offered In Spain
On Recreation Center Students Will Study In Madrid
if
By Michele Williams
Longwood College will
have no campus pub next
semester but, instead con-
struction of a student recreation
center will begin. The recreation
center will include a parquet
dance floor and raised stage, a
large-screen TV, a V.C.R., a
large lounge and a bar which will
serve beer only. It will not be
labeled as a pub.
Phyllis Mable, Vice-President
for Student Affairs, believes that
"the intended purpose of the
center is not primarily for
drinking but, for socializing,
meeting new people, and
relaxation," she said. Therefore,
the campus pub has been
renamed The Student
Recreation Center.
The construction of the center
will begin on December 10 when
"Longwood's physical plant
employees begin demolition and
removing debris," Mable said.
On December 17th, the car-
pentry work will begin, and by
January a big screen television
will be in use. Although the new
furniture and other equipment
will probably not be installed
until March. The center was
originally projected to be
complete by last October.
The new recreation center will
be a part of the snack bar, both
being joined by a side walkway.
The snack bar area will also have
sojme helpful renovations made
in order to become more ef-
ficient for the students needs.
Student Activity Fees will
finance the refurbishing along
with a hefty donation by the
student government association,
who held a fundraising mixer last
spring for what was then called a
pub. The exact cost of the center
is unknown. "I have no idea at
this point what the final bill will
be," Mrs. Mable said.
The final decision concerning
how the center will function will
be made by the alcohol task
force, chaired by Student
Development Educator Barbara
Gorski and consisting of
"selected students." The group
will decide what beverages will
be served and how the center
will be managed.
Longwood recently
completed arrangements for
students to take classes in the
summer of 1985 at the
University of Madrid in
Spain. The program, under
the direction of Dr. Maria
Silveira, is in conjunction with
a national group. FORSPRO
(Foreign Study Program,
Inc.). Hampden-Sydney
College also participates in
the program.
Students can take courses
in Spanish or in English— for
which they may receive
academic credit at
Longwood. Spanish
language courses are
available at the elementary,
intermediate, and advanced
levels, as well as courses in all
periods of Spanish literature.
Other courses will be taught
in English by American
university professors in art,
photography, geography,
history, sociology, education,
and international business.
In addition, there are
several travel options
available to students. Prices
for all educational and travel
options compare very
favorably with those of
programs sponsored by other
groups. For example. Plan
A— a four weeks program
from July 11 to August 8—
will cost $1495, including:
round-trip air fare from New
York to Madrid, transport-
ation to and from the Madrid
airport, lodging in student
dorms or with a Spanish
family, three meals per day,
Spanish Tourist Health In-
surance, access to laundry
facilities and services of
Resident Physician in dorm.
Anthropology Major Off To Study In Bahamas
Becky Ansell, a junior an-
thropology major from Rich-
mond, will be spending some of
her 1985 spring semester on San
Salvador Island in the Bahamas.
Ansell will attend ar-
chaeological field school there,
and then will continue study at a
visiting student program at
Hartwick College in Oneonta,
New York, for the remainder of
the semester.
Ansell first became interested
in visiting student programs after
completing a required oc-
cupational and career sociology
course. Ansell realized that she
"had to eventually go to an
anthropology school and I knew
from my careers course that
opportunities don't just come to
you," she said. So, she
borrowed a Guide to An-
thropo}g\/ text from her
professor. Dr. James Jordan,
Associate Professor of An-
thropology, which listed special
programs at cooperating
schools. She then "searched the
book for special programs that I
found interesting and were
related to my particular field,"
she said. Ansell has already
attended field school at
Longwood, and she has ac-
cumulated 10 weeks of ex-
perience that most students will
not have had in the Bahamas.
A few months later Ansell
received a phone call from
Professor Berman of Hartwick
College who said that her
resume was impressive, and
would enjoy having her as a
student at Hartwick. "I never
intended, at the time, to leave
for the semester but, when I
found that it was possible, 1
wanted to go even more," Becky
said. First, permission had to be
granted by Jordan, and Ansell
also made sure that her credits
could be transferred back to
Longwood for accreditation.
After cutting through all of the
red tape involved, she accepted
Hartwick's offer, and looked
"forward to the trip more
everyday," she said. It is im-
portant to note that Ansell
prepared everything that was
required for her trip personally.
Ansell will spend January 7 to
February 1 in the Bahamas on
San Salvador Island and upon
completion will earn six credits
for her work. February 11 to
May 24, she will spend in New
York at Hartwick College where
Becky will be enrolled in classes.
Currently, she plans on taking
the following courses: the
development of anthropological
thought, art and technology in
pre-industrial society, museums
and society, hunters and
gatherers, and aspects of
museum management.
Hartwick College, a private
school, is smaller than
Longwood, with approximately
1400 students, and it is located
in the small, suburban town of
Oneonta, New York. "One of
the reasons I chose Hartwick was
because it appealed to me
academically and geograph-
ically," Ansell said.
Dr. James Jordan, Ansell's
advisor and Associate Professor
of Anthropology was very
pleased that Ansell took the
initiative toward building a
career. "This will probably be
one of Becky's most memorable
experiences, and 1 know she will
do a great job," Jordan said. Dr.
Jordan feels that in order to be
successful in any career one
must search for any available
opportunities. "It would be ideal
if all 23 of my majors could
travel, and be exposed to dif-
ferent cultures," he said. By
traveling to the Bahamas Ansell
will "get a feel for the archaeo-
logical world, which she never
could have gotten here at
Longwood alone," he said.
When Ansell returns to
Longwood in the fall, Dr. Jordan
plans to have her speak to the
Anthropology 100 students and
"bring new thoughts to us, sort
of a transfusion from the outside
world," Jordan said.
six semester hours of College
credit, and a variety of
cultural programs and lec-
tures by Spanish University
professors.
Students interested in
study and travel in Spain
should see Dr. Maria Silveira
in Grainger 104.

It's That
Time Again!
By Lori Foster
"The week" has finally ap-
proached us, the week we have
all dreaded from the beginning.
The week our research papers,
projects and notebooks that our
professors informed us about,
when going over the class
syllabus, are due. If you haven't
felt the stress from the preceding
factors, because you're one of
the organized students or a
procrastinator with a book of
golden excuses, you may still be
affected by the approaching
exam depression syndrome.
During the process of reaching
deadlines, especially for those
cramming weeks of study into
these last few nights, it is im-
portant not to "burn yourself
out. " Along with getting a good
night's sleep and decent meals, it
would be well advised to spend
some time doing constructive
activities other than constant
studying. Of course, a balance is
in order and exam studies
should have first priority over
extra activities.
If you look around, sometimes
hidden in the collage of in-
formation on the walls around
campus you can find programs,
performers and activities that
might surprise you if you give
them a try.
One of the best ways to relieve
the pressure from upcoming
anxiety attacks is to get out of
your dorm room, take a walk,
and/or visit the Student Union.
The Student Union provides us
with video games, ping pong
and pool tables and is complete
with a bowling alley.
The snack bar has added
public favorites such as pizza,
baked potatoes with toppings
and Nachos to their menu. They
have also expanded and now
give us an on-campus Beegles-
Perphitz atmosphere on
Tuesday nights.
Going back to the flyers
scattered around campus, you
can find concerts, performers,
cash for books, and many other
topics that may be of interest. If
you are on the more active side,
a leisurely swim is always
refreshing. For those who find a
bit of exercise and circulation a
health hazard, and would rather
not leave their room, a magazine
or book to let their mind wander
momentarily from examination
preparation may be of interest to
them. With a little imagination
and motivation you can find
plenty of study-breaking ac-
tivities.
Lancaster Library will be open
until 11 p.m. Friday, December
14, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturday, December 15.
All materials need to be
returned to the Library by
December 18.
Eddie Murphy: Back In Town
a review of Beverly Hills Cop
By Pablo Duke
Eddie Murphy is back with a
hit comedy, Beverly Hills Cop,
in which he plays a Detroit
detective. Axel Foley, searching
for the killer of a childhood
friend. His search takes him to
posh Bevedy Hills, where he
finds help in the attractive form
of Jenny Summers, played by
Lisa Eilbacher, but Murphy is
hindered by Beverly Hills
policemen Billy Rosewood
(Judqe Reinhold) and Sergeant
Haggart (John Ashton) .
Foley finds the Bevedy Hills
Police Department to be a rigid,
by-the-book organization with
money to back it. He says of a
squad car: "This is the cleanest
and nicest police car I've ever
seen in in my life ... this thing's
nicer than my apartment." He
sets out to loosen up the
detectives in the Department
with such pranks as shoving
bananas up a squad car's
exhaust pipe and sending his
hotel room service out to
detectives waiting to follow him.
The Department isn't amused,
however, and Foley doesn't
impress them until his police
skills are revealed as he unravels
a drug ring led by Victor
Martland (Steven Berkoff) . As he
discovers each clue, Foley's
unorthodox style of police work
gains him respect within the
mr # now '^'^/^
showing at the State Theatre in ^. -^CC
Farmville.
'fifiii^
Beverly Hills police force.
The film exhibits Murphy's
unique brand of comedy, yet it
shows no great changes in his
style as an actor; Foley
resembles the same characters
Murphy played in both 48 Hours
(with Nick Nolte) and Trading
Places (with Dan Ackroyal), if a
little more street-smart here than
in those roles. Beverly Hills Cop
places Murphy in his first solo
lead, a position which enables
him to play off of every character
with whom he has contact. In
this commanding spot, his
comedy is very successful. He is,
however, not as comfortable
with his comedic lines as he is
with his more serious ones.
Here, Murphy often edges the
unbelievable as he attempts to
play the tough Detroit cop.
Much of the problem here.
though, may be caused by
Murphy's popularity as a
comedian. No one will go to see
this movie expecting
Shakespearian drama, and, if
Murphy's tongue seems trapped
with endless one-liners, it is
forgiveable.
Judge Reinholt plays the same
naive character he did in Fast
Times at Ridgemont High, and
he is good at it. He provides
good balance with Murphy, yet
he should be good in this part;
he's played it before.
John Ashton's performance in
the role of the slow-to-movc
detective Haggart is mediocre.
His scenes with Murphy are fun,
but something is missing, His dry
humor provides an adequate
sounding board for our hero.
Director Martin Brest might
credit himself with the top-
money film of this year's Holiday
season if ticket sales can
maintain their feverous first-
week rate.
Beverly Hills Cop is, primarily,
Fun with a capital F. The plot
isn't completely insulting as are
so many plots in today's
comedies, and the action of the
film is captivating. It is, of
course, Murphy's comedy which
holds the film together, but then,
that's why this "Saturday Night
Alive" veteran is receiving top
billing as the Beverly Hills Cop.
Luther Ranks 13th
According to records com-
piled by the NCAA, Longwood
head basketball coach Cal
Luther ranks 13th in victories
among active Division II
coaches. Before the current
season Luther's total of 331
career wins was 13th best in
Division II.
Luther, a head coach at the
college level for 23 years, held a
286-194 career mark when he
came to Longwood in 1981.
Many of those wins were
compiled at Division I Murray
State.
Longwood stands 50-35 as
Luther takes part in his fourth
season with the Lancers. His
current overall record is 336-
229.

H. L. Mencken in

There are single acres in Europe that house more first rate men
than all the states south of the Potomac, than there are probably
single square miles in America. If the whole of the late Confederacy
were to be engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow, the effect upon the
civilized minority of men in the world would be but little greater than
that of a flood on the Yang-Tse-Kiang. It would be impossible in all
history to match so complete a drying-up of a civilization.

It's Christmas Time In The Town
A. Moffat Evans: A Profile
By Eric T. Houscknccht
The yuletide season is once
again upon us and with its
inherent joys of giving unto
others. Every year, seasonal
shoppers bring the spirit of
Christmas as well as unparalleled
economic stimulation to the
streets of their cities; and Farm-
ville is no exception. Heading for
the northern end of town, my
photographer and I pushed our
way through the bustling crowd
of anxious consumers towards
our first destination. A day of
shopping in Farmville's northern
district without a trip to Walker's
Diner for lunch represents a
serious breech of social protocol
to all except the truly culturally
inept.
Once the center of the city's
greatest cluster of eating
establishments, the closing of
The Captain's Favorite and The
Hobo Palace has left Walker's
standing alone in this popular
shopping region, a citadel of
epicurean delights. Tony, a
renowned connoisseur and my
photographer for the day,
described the local canteen as "a
beehive of activity." Obviously
both a place to see and be seen ,
we procured two seats among
the fashionable crowd as I
reveled in the culinary pleasure
of one of the chef's creations,
enticingly titled "No. 9."
From there it was on to the
Chicken Shack for a post-meal
cocktail and then out onto the
pavement where we were
immediately accosted by street
venders. Posing a serious threat
to the door-to-door technique of
the sorority girls, these colorful
local characters are always
willing to haggle over the price of
Krispy Kreme donuts. Turning
our attention to more serious
shopping matters, we headed for
the stores to find out what's hot
this season.
If its New York fashions
you're looking for, then look no
further. New York Fashions
(next to Happy Time TV Rental)
offers clothing from a variety of
designers including Broadway
and 21 Century in an array of
synthetic fibers; and special
holiday prices could make you
the proud new owner of that
Ace Reporter Houseknecht in the field with friend.
■f'X,
polyurethane jacket you've
always dreamed of. Or if your
taste run more towards antiques,
a stroll through The Pack Rat's
Palace is sure to drum up
memories of days gone by.
But if you are searching for the
true spirit of Christmas and will
settle for nothing less, then the
Wooden Heart is definitely the
spot for you. Offering an endless
supply of handmade ornaments
as well as supplies for making
your own wreaths and
decorations, there's something
for everyone at the Wooden
Heart. Indeed no local shopper's
day would be complete without
at least stopping to browse
through the beautifully
decorated Christmas room of
this quaint shop of crafts, where
even the most unfeeling Scrooge
could not help but be caught up
in the spirit of Christmas.
"// / had the world to give —
id give it to ]^ou long as \;ou hue:
Would ];ou let it fall, or hold it all in i^our arrr)s?
If I had a sor]g to sing —

Lullaby or maybe a plain serenade
Wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry, or be afraid at the change you made?
I may not have the world to giue to you, but maybe I have a tune or two.
Only if you let me be in your world — could I ever give this world to you.
But I will giue what love I have to give. "

By Jeff Fleming
Prior to the opening of A
Bedroom Farce, the last of the
Longwood Players' two fall
productions. The Rotunda
interviewed A. Mofatt Evans, the
Technical Director in the Drama
Department here at Longwood
College. Responsible for all the
sets, lights, design, and con-
struction in Jarman Auditorium,
Evans usually remains in the
background. His is not a position
that gains much recognition and
he has often gone without
notice, when credit for suc-
cessful shows is given out usually
the cast and General Director
receive most of it. He is a well-
trained professional though and
his work is invaluable for the
success of the shows.
Evans received his Masters of
Arts Degree and Bachelor of
Science Degree from the
University of Wisconsin in 1971.
After graduation he taught
drama classes for three years in
New Jersey at Ocean County
College. After deciding to bring
his family and career back to his
home state of Virginia, he
worked as Technical Director for
the Showtimers and Mill
Mountain Playhouse in
Roanoke. In 1979 he decided to
obtain his Masters of Fine Arts.
Following his 1981 graduation,
he worked in Norfolk as Master
Carpenter for The Virginia Stage
Company. It was at this point
that Patton Lockwood, tormer
head of the Drama Department
of Longwood, suggested he
come down for an interview.
In his three years at the college
he has shown us a variety of
stage constructions. This year is
no exception. The stage for
Three Penny Opera had to be
designed so that it could be set
up and taken down before and
after each practice because other
organizations booked the stage
just prior to its opening. In the
most recent play the stage had to
be rebuilt on platforms. This
complex set had walls, carpet,
working telephones and
doorbells. The specially
designed stage had to be
completed in just three short
weeks. Three individual plat-
forms, sloping one and one-half
inches per foot were joined
together to create what is known
as a raked stage. These had
been used when theaters were
built with a flat seating
arrangement. The raked stage
was used with A Bedroom Farce
because a large portion of the
lines were delivered from actors
practically lying flat on their
backs. Those who saw the show
can appreciate the fine work
done in that short time.
One of the first projects that
Dr. Evans started work on was
the reconstruction of the Studio
Theater. It had formerly been
used primarily for one act plays.
Evans felt that this should be
available to students. Before
this, students were rarely ever
allowed stage time since the
main stage in Jarman is almost
always booked.
A large portion of the
reconstruction was done this
summer. He has used the main
stage striplights as houselights.
The permanent seating was
made available through special
arrangements with the Job Score
Center in Monroe, Virginia.
Regardless of whether the
plans for the museum are ever
fulfilled, the talents and con-
tributions of Evans are
many; and while these may only
be noticed by a select few, they
are, nonetheless, greatly ap-
preciated .

Merriment, Misery, Mush
Raio On December
Involvement Is Key To Many College Difficulties
By Frank Raio
Ah December, what a great
month. Winter is here. We think
of cuddling in front of a crackling
fire, roasting chestnuts, sipping
hot cider and brandy. The air is
crisp and fills our lungs deep
while we throw snowballs and
build snowpeople. We rush to
the mailbox to send and receive
seasons greetings to and from
the ones we love best. Cold
November nights are made
bearable by our anticipation of
spirited Christmas parties and
sucking face under the mistletoe.
December is truly a month of
merriment.
Wrong slater-breath.
December is a highly over-rated
month. Let us take a moment
and examine the various
shortcomings and frailties of the
final month of the year.
In the first place, let's dispel all
this month of "good cheer" stuff.
December is the month of break-
ups, particularly in long-distance
relationships. Yea, 1 hear you:
"But Frank, girls dump you year-
round." I am speaking of
general trends here. You can see
It on their faces as they leave the
mailbox area, "walking-papers"
in hand. You can hear it in their
voices as you pass the phone
booth. There are two main
factors that make December the
.dumping month. The first one is
that after four months of faithful
letter- writing, phone-calling and
wall-flowering at parties, one
partner gets fed up with the
whole thing. "It's not you, it's
me," "1 need some time," are
terms frequently used in place of
"1 am fed up." There seems to be
something about the four-month
period of separation that ends in
December. That "smooth-
talking" guy or girl who has been
pestering you all semester
suddenly becomes a "sweet-
talker" around late-November
and December. A second factor
must be added for those in-
dividuals who were never
faithful wallflowers. These
people break-up in December
because they know that they will
see their partners over the
Christmas break and could not
^ esume the same close
relationship.
1 make these observations to
enlighten the Longwood
campus; 1 do not want to see
people hanging around the
mailbox area checking faces and
looking for dates.
I think that the weather of the
season adds to December's
bleakness. While many of
I.ongwood's more wealthy
2isured may welcome winter
and the prospect of ski
weekends, I associate Farmville's
snowless Decembers with runny-
noses and subsequent crusty
sleeves. A constant source of
amazement for me is Farmville's
"head-on-winds" which change
direction to insure frozen
mustaches both to and from
class. The highly unflattering
apparel worn to accommodate
this frigid month has scopers of
both sexes down on December,
driving even the most faithful
leerers from their perch in front
of the dining hall.
And how could 1 forget the
academic tone set for
December? Pages and pages of
term papers are due during this
month; many students visit the
library for the first time during
December. Students read the
Honor Code in December,
searching for a loophole to aid in
those papers. This month also
will bring an introduction of
amphetamines to many
freshmen, as visions of final
examinations dance in their
heads. One bright spot of
December is the opportunity to
evaluate the teachers on their
performance, as they have done
to us all semester. I always bring
crayons to class during that week
or bring the forms back to my
room so I can provide a more
detailed essay in the margins.
December, despite its one
major benefit, is a miserable
excuse for a month. The
Japanese were just waiting for
December to roll around to lay
the big hit on Pead Harbor. It is
December which should have
twenty-eight days, twenty-seven
on leap years (even though it
would shorten the hangover
recovery time between
Christmas Eve and New Year's.)
Next month: January
By Bill Moore
I talk to most of the students
who withdraw from Longwood,
and the topic of wasting money
(and/or time) is a frequent
refrain. "1 don't know what I
want to do," "I don't want to
waste my folks' money," "I
wasn't ready for college work,"
etc., etc. But what about the rest
of you? My guess is that there's a
lot of time-wasting going on out
there, even while you're bitching
about rising tuition costs and
board costs and so on. You may
be feeling some heat from your
parents, too— is this investment
of thousands of dollars in your
college education going to be
"worth it?" Well, the answer to
that question depends on how
you choose to define "worth"—
but the bottom line is that an
affirmative answer is not just
Longwood's responsibility, it's a
shared responsibility between
you and the college. And the
key to that responsibility is the
whole Issue of involvement.
A recent report on excellence
in undergraduate education
entitled "Involvement in
Learning: Realizing the Potential
of American Higher Education"
(reproduced in the October 24
Issue of the Chronicle of Higher
Education), makes a compelling
argument for student in-
volvement in learning being the
most significant factor in im-
proving the quality of higher
education In this country. By
Involvement these education
experts mean the amount of
time, energy, and effort, as well
as the quality of that effort, that
you as students devote to the
learning process in college, both
in and out of the classroom. The
authors of this report proceed to
make a series of challenging
(some might say radical)
recommendations for Increasing
the general quality of higher
education, and they direct their
MIDNIGHT MADNESS

(except textbooks)

Bookstore
proposals to administrators,
faculty, and students. Yes, the
college is accountable for striving
towards quality— but so are you,
otherwise the whole deal's off.
So what does the report suggest
that \)ou can do about it?
To begin with, the authors
believe that your time is your
most precious asset in college, so
you need to ask yourself some
hard questions about how you
are "spending" your time:
• Are you using It to get to
know one or more faculty
members really well, as
friends or informal advisers
rather than just lecturers?
Or are you cutting classes,
doing the minimum
amount of work, and
avoiding all contact with
faculty, in or out of the
classroom? Professors
themselves, not just the
academic content of their
classrooms, are probably
the most significant
commodity academe has
to offer— but you have to
make the effort to interact
with them .
• Do you take advantage
of the formal advising and
counseling services
available at Longwood? Or
are you one of those folks
who don't really know who
their adviser is or where
the counseling center is?
And if you find your
adviser to be inadequate
(unconcerned about you,
too hurried, Inaccessible)
what are you doing about
it? Complaining to your
friends, or trying to do
something constructive to
change the situation- like
switching advisers or
discussing the problem
with the Academic Vice-
President?
• Outside of the
classroom, are you making
an effort to become active
in a club or organization
that interests you and
allows you to develop your
skills? Do you think about
ways that you can con-
tribute through your in-
volvement? Or are you
sitting back, drinking your
beer, going home every
weekend, and bitching
about there being nothing
to do at Longwood?
Ultimately, this issue of in-
volvement is self-serving; it is the
most fundamental vocational
education today. Why? Because
let's face It: in and of itself, a
Longwood diploma and 50
cents (or Is It 60 cents now?) will
get you a cup of coffee, no
guarantees beyond that. If you
want a decent return on your
Investment— of money, time,
and effort— then think about
spending your capital wisely and
efficiently; it will likely pay off for
you down the road.

Grapplers Struggle In Away Matches
The Longwood wrestling team
traveled to Williamsburg on
December 6, for a match against
tough Division I foe William and
Mary. William and Mary won the
match 43-9, but in coach Steve
Nelson's opinion the match was
not as lopsided as the score.
"This was obviously not our best
match of the year, but we did
not wrestle that badly either.
There were some matches that
were very close and then our
guy would get caught in a throw
and get pinned."
While the Lancers wrestled
some good matches, they could
manage only two wins. In the
118 pound class, Timmy Fit-
zgerald defeated AA state
champion Jimmy Green by a
score of 20-8. "Timmy wrestled
a good match tonight," said
coach Nelson. "He had too
much respect for Green at the
beginning, but once he started to
wrestle his style he dominated
the match."
Billy Howard earned the
second Lancer victory with a 10-
1 decision over his opponent.
"Billy dominated the match. He
wrestled this guy earlier this year
and had to come from behind to
win. Tonight Billy showed
everyone what he is capable of
doing. He wrestled the way he is
capable of wrestling and if he
continues to do so he will be
hard to beat."
Other Lancers who did well
arc Pete Whitman and David
Taylor. According to coach
Nelson, "There is improvement
on the team but is is inconsistent.
One match we will have four or
five guys wrestle well and the
next match we will have four or
five different guys wrestle well. If
we establish some consistency
we can be a good team. The
talent is here, it is just a point of
getting each individual to wrestle
up to his capabilities on a
consistent basis."
On December 4 the wrestling
team traveled to Lexington for a
match against Division 1 op-
ponent VMI. Although
Longwood lost, coach Nelson
was pleased with the team's
performance. "VMI is a Division
I school with a very strong
wrestling program. They have a
large budget and therefore they
have some of the best wrestlers
in this area. When you take
these factors into consideration,
our guys did well against them.
We were not scared of their
name or reputation. We wrestled
tough against them and we
surprised them."
In the 118 pound division
Fitzgerald revenged an earlier
loss with an 8-4 victory. The
score was tied with only three
seconds remaining when Fit-
zgerald hit a four point throw to
seal the victory. "Timmy showed
the mental toughness that this
team has been looking for. He
never gave up and as a result he
came off the mat as the winner."
In the 150 pound class, Steve
Albeck dominated his opponent
before winning on an injury
default. "Steve wrestled one of
his best matches of the year,"
said Coach Nelson. "He forced
his opponent to wrestle his style
and therefore he controlled the
entire match."
At 177, David Taylor won by
a score of 7-5. "David finally
found the mental toughness that
we have been stressing so much.
In the past, he would wrestle
well and then lose in the last
minute. Tonight he wrestled
tough for the entire match. If he
keeps wrestling with this attitude
in the future he will be a big help
to the team."
Jesus Strauss won by a pin in
the heavyweight division. Jesus
was able to use his speed and
quickness against his bigger
opponent. He pinned him in the
first period with a headlock.
Coach Nelson was also
pleased with the performance of
Whitman in the 134 pound
class. "Although he lost 7-6,
Pete still wrestled a great match.
He wrestled hard the whole
time. It's a shame to see him lose
such a close match."

North Carolina Wesleyan.
Last week Longwood beat
Catholic 68-51 Monday, nipped
Virginia Commonwealth 70-68
Wednesday, fell to Navy 63-56
Friday and whipped visiting
Guilford 89-61 Saturday night.
The week's first three games
were on the road.
Longwood's top three scorers
from last season teamed up to
lead the rout of Guilford, a team
that came into Lancer Hall with a
4-3 record. Turner, one of the
nation's top rebounders, scored
22 points and grabbed 12
rebounds. Holmes tossed in 21
points with 11 rebounds and
Forbes scored 17 points while
handing out 10 assists.
The Lady Lancers led 44-34
at the half after a 14-2 run put
them in control. Turner had 19
first half points. Holmes and
Forbes keyed Longwood's
second half effort.
Also making contributions to
the win were freshmen Angle
Hill and Annette Easterling. Hill
scored nine points while hitting
5-6 free throws and Easterling
handed out six assists
Longwood coach Shirley
Duncan was especially pleased
with the win after Friday's loss at
Navy.
"We played pretty well in the
first half at Navy," said Duncan,
"but our players must have felt
they just had to walk on the
court to get the win in the second
half."
Longwood led 31-28 at the
half, but was outscored 35-25 in
the second half.
Forbes topped Longwood at
Navy with 24 points while
Turner chipped in 16 and
Holmes 8.
In the win over VCU
Easterling and Turner combined
to hit three free throws in the
final 20 seconds to sew up the
win. Longwood trailed for much
of the game until rallying near
the end.
^ Turner collected 24 points and
15 rebounds, Forbes 15 points
and center Karen Boska 10
points.
Turner had 19 points and 18
rebounds, Forbes 14 points and
Mariana Johnson 12 points in
the victory over Catholic last
Monday.
Turner, Holmes Closing in on
1,000 Points
Turner and Holmes are
closing in on a major career
milestone in their last campaign
at Longwood. Holmes (925 pts.)
and Turner (838 pts.) should
pass the 1.000 points mark in
career scoring this season,
perhaps as early as January.
Only four players in
Longwood history have ac-
complished this feat. Sue Rama
(1974-78) is the leader with
1,471 points, followed by
Maryjane Smith (1,167, 1976
80), Brenda Fettrow (1,117.
1977-80) and Cindy Eckel
(1,029.1979-83).
Turner and Holmes appear
capable of passing Eckel, Fet-
trow and Smith, but Rama's
total is probably out of reach.
When the first NCAA Divsion
II statistics come out this week
Turner and Holmes figure to
rank near the top in two
categories. Turner is averaging
about 15 rebounds per game
and Holmes is hitting over 94
per cent of her free throws.

Basketball Team Searching For Consistency
A hard-to-swallow 72-71 loss
at District of Columbia Saturday
afternoon capped off the 1984
portion of Longwood's 1984-85
basketball schedule. Now the
Lancer cagers will work hard to
get ready for 1985 and the
Mason-Dixon Conference
season .
"We could have easily won
Saturday's game," said a
disappointed coach Cal Luther.
"We just did not shoot the ball
well. We played good defense
and we kept our turnovers down
in the second half, but we
couldn't get a bucket when we
had to have it."
The Lancers rallied from a 12-
point second half deficit and
almost overtook the Firebirds.
Working patiently on offense,
Longwood had two good op-
portunities to take the lead in the
final two minutes, but both shots
failed to drop.
Longwood, now 5-5, won't
play again until January 5 when
they visit Armstrong State in
Savannah, Georgia. Mason-
'toixon Conference play begins
January 16 when Randolph-
Macon pays a visit.
Real Improvement
Reflecting on the first part of
the season, coach Luther
believes the team has gotten
better.
"Before the season began 1 felt
we would be fortunate to be 5-5
at this point," said the
jjJ.ongwood coach. "The team
has shown real improvement
since the beginning of the
season. I don't know at this
juncture that we're going to be
strong enough to compete like
we would like to in the Mason-
Dixon, but we have learned
some things about ourselves.
"We know who our best
players are now and we know in
which areas we need to continue
to improve if we expect to be
competitive in the league."
Strothers Has Hot Hand
In Saturday's loss at UDC
senior David Strothers tossed in
22 points with 14 coming in the
second half.
Tim Wilson, Longwood's
other senior, scored a career-
high 18 points while junior
Kenneth Fields had an off-night
but still managed to score 1 1 .
Wilson has averaged 14.3
ppg. over Longwood's last four,
contests and has earned himself
a spot in the starting lineup.
"Tim has given us points,
something we were hurting for,"
said Luther. "We have more
scoring punch with him in the
lineup and he has made some
big steals out of our pressing
defense."
Fields, a 6-2 swing player, has
)een Longwood's most con-
sistent scorer. Averaging 14.1
ppg., he has been in double
figures in eight in Longwood's
first 10 contests while shooting
59 percent from the floor and
Dver 70 percent from the free
throw line
"Kenny has done an out-
standing job for us in his first year
with the team," said coach
Luther, "Not only is he our
leading scorer, but he's played
well in the clutch and given us a
first-rate job on defense."
Strothers Free Throw
String Ends
For Strothers, last week's
double overtime 63-55 win over
Guilford had a bitter-sweet
ending. Longwood canned 16
of 17 free throws in the second
overtime to beat the Quakers last
Monday, but Strothers' string of
49 consecutive free throws came
to an end on the last shot of the
game. His streak ended just 16
short of the Division II mark of
65 straight.
Strothers made seven of eight
in the contest and scored 13
points, but he missed his last
attempt. The miss ended a string
which began in the last six games
of the 1983-84 season and
continued through the first nine
contests this year.
With a career mark of 92-102
(90.2 percent), Strothers has
made 29 of 30 this season for
96.7 percent, a figure which is
sure to rank near the top in
Division II statistics. Strothers is
averaging 13.3 points per game.
Another player who has made
steady contributions is
sophomore Kevin Ricks.' The
team leader in steals with 29,
Ricks has averaged 9.8 ppg.
"Kevin has played well for us
defensively," says coach Luther.
"For a sophomore, he's doing
pretty well."
EVEN STRAIGHT A'S CAN'T
HELP IF YOU FLUNK TUITION
Today, the toughest thing about going
to college is finding the money to pay for it
But Army ROTC can help— two
ways!
First, you can apply for an Army
ROTC scholarship. It covers tuition,
books, and supplies, and pays you
up to $1,000 each school year it's
in effect.
But even if you're not a
scholarship recipient,
ROTC can still help
with financial assis-
tance-up to $1,000
a year for your
last two years in
the program.

Student Anti-Apartheid Groups Organize
By David Gaede
"Nothing happens in the
■inter," lamented Dumisani
!\umaio of the American
< "ommittee on Africa (ACA),
referring to the scarcity of
student protest against South
African racial segregation during
the beginning months of 1983.
But now, in the dead of
Jwinter, the student anti-
lapartheid movement has
I suddenly heated up. surprising
leven movement leaders.
Fueled by Jesse Jackson's
ongoing anti-apartheid crusade,
South African Bishop Desmond
Tutu's recent winning of the
Nobel Peace Prize, numerous
marches on US. -based South
African diplomatic offices, and
the arrests of some 200
[protestors since late November,
1984, the campus South African
movement is going strong,
leaders report.
"A lot more students, because
of the media attention South
Africa has been getting among
the general public, are suddenly
becoming aware and interested
in stopping apartheid," notes
Joshua Nessen, ACA student
coordinator.
Nessen, who in the past has
tried to spread the word by
associating it with more highly-
publicized causes like the anti-
nuclear movement, thinks he
may have turned a corner.
"You know the campus
movement is gaining
momentum when, in the midst
of Christmas vacation at
Berkeley, you have 1,000
students marching on the ad-
ministration building, locking
arms, and demanding
|Mew Program Offered
In Special Education
Longwood College's new
legree program in special
education is gearing up and
;ent into effect with the
:)eginning of the college's second
emester in January.
The program was authorized
)\] the State Council of Higher
■ducation in May 1984.
In the fall of 1984. Vera G.
illiams joined Longwood's
eduction faculty. Her immediate
nssignment was to direct the
levelopment of the special
■ducation curriculum.
All of the professional courses
lo be required for the special
Education degree have now
Ibeen developed and approved
Iby Longwood's Academic
1 Affairs Council and by the State
Department of Education,
I Williams said.
The first two courses in the
liorogram — "Introduction to
special Education" and
['Language and Language
(Disorders"— will be offered next
semester. Three more courses
M be introduced in the fall of
11985.
Longwood's four-year
[program will fulfill requirements
■for teaching certification in two
areas of special education —
learning disabilities and
emotional disturbances — or a
dual certification in both areas.
Plans are being made for
special training institutes, for
purchasing materials and
equipment for diagnostic testing,
and for in-service workshops for
area special education teachers.
"We have applied for a grant to
help finance these things." Dr
Williams said. "I think we have a
good chance of receiving some
funding."
Twenty-five students are
registered in the special
education program so far. and
"we are receiving many inquiries
about next year," Williams said.
The college plans to hire
another special eduction faculty
member next summer. The
program also will have the
benefit of a visiting professor in
1985-86. A specialist in
education for exceptional
children will come to Longwood
from the University of Jyvaskyla
in Finland under a faculty ex-
change program funded by a
grant from the U. S. Information
Aqencv.
divestiture," he says.
Indeed, in just the last
several weeks students on
dozens of campuses across the
country have protested the
plight of the black majority in
South Africa, demanding that
their colleges stop investing in
U.S. companies which do
business with the white
supremacist government there.
During the December 7th
march at Berkeley, for instance,
38 students were arrested as
over 1,000 protestors encircled
the administration building for
three hours.
The day before, several
hundred University of Maryland-
College Park students, locked
out of a planned sit-in at the
administration building, boarded
buses and marched on system
President John Toll's office to
protest the system's $6.3 million
in South African-tied in-
vestments.
Likewise, a group of
University of Texas students
chanting "Board of Regents, you
can't hide, we charge you with
genocide," protested outside a
recent board of regents meeting
demanding the UT system sell its
estimated $600 million in South
African-linked stock holdings.
And in a somewhat more
radical tactic, 12 members of
Oberlin College's Student
Coalition Against Apartheid tried
unsuccessfully to shut down the
campus computer system and
hold it hostage until the school
sold off its $30 million in South
African-tied companies.
Accustomed to a regular,
organized series of student
protests during the warmer,
spring months, this winter's
spontaneous uprisings have
caught even anti-apartheid
activists by surprise.
"I don't think any of us ex-
pected (the campus protests) to
be this big at this time," Nessen
reveals. "I don't know what
would have happened at
Berkeley, for instance, without
the national focus given the issue
by people like Tutu and
Jackson."
"We thought it would be naive
on our part, because of the
current interest, not to capitalize
on it," admits former Maryland
Black Student Union President
Charles Bell, who helped
organize the recent College Park
demonstration.
Ruled by a minority of five
million whites. South Africa's 22
million blacks are forced to live,
work, play, and attend school
only with other blacks.
Campus anti-apartheid
leaders want to force colleges to
sell off their billions of dollars in
endowment stock holdings in
some 350 U.S. companies
which do business with South
Africa.
Such "divestiture," they say,
will force U.S. companies to
pressure the government to
amend its racist policies or lose
American business.
"It's too soon to tell if (this
winter's campus protests) are
actually resulting in more
colleges divesting of South
African-tied stock," says Knight.
"But they are going to find it
harder and harder to stall as long
as there is continued student
protest and as more states and
localities enact divestiture
legislation."
In the last few years. Brown,
Northern Illinois, Wesleyan, and
the City University of New York,
among others, have either

Box 1133
"Hey, rp.an. how 'bout a cigarette?" The 37-year-old
electronics expert rolls his eyes and thinks to himself. "Not
again — God, not again." He glares at the black teenager
standing in front of him in the graffiti-covered subway car.
"Got a light?" Frustrated, Bernhard Hugo Goetz ignores
the question and the face it comes from, a face accompanied
by three other nameless, but in Goetz's mind, hostile black
faces.
When the face asks him for five dollars. Goetz calmly
replies, "I have five dollars for each of you," and pulls an
unlicensed .38-caliber handgun from, under his coat. Within
thirty seconds, all four young men lie bleeding on the car
floor, and Goetz is gone.
in the weeks that followed this December 22nd incident
in New York City, Bernhard Goetz was celebrated as a hero,
an 1980's Bronson-type vigilante. Thousands of dollars were
raised to support his defense, letters-to-the-editor across the
nation supported his action. Joan Rivers sent a 'Love and
Kisses' telegram and offered to help him with bail. Bernhard
Goetz rang a note which Americans appreciated, sup-
posedly, he fought fire with fire and gained revenge for his
harassment.
"It's something we'd all like to do." said Geoffrey Alpert
of the University of Miami Center for the Study of Law and
Society in a Time interview. "We'd all like to think we would
react the way Goetz did." A Georgia sheriff didn't condone
the unlicensed gun. but told reporters. "I'm glad to see
someone who's got enough guts to stand up for his rights."
If, indeed, it is Goetz's right to shoot four teenagers with
little or no provocation, we live in a frightening society.
Though the victims were armed with sharpened
screwdrivers, it is unlikely that Goetz knew this: his is not a
case of self-defense. He acted offensively out of fear or
hatred, and we call him Hero.
Not that fear or hatred are rare emotions in this nation,
particularly in our largest city, and more particularly in the
subway system of that city. Indeed, both are common
reactions to our 'civilized' society, but it is hardly heroic to
feel them.
Blood and Guts Hero. Fighting Back. Fire with Fire. Such
is the talk of Bernie Goetz. Yet Goetz was not approached
with fire by a black teenager on December 22. He was asked
a question. Goetz shot four teenagers because he was
frustrated with his own inadequacies, whether they were
based on fear or racism or both, and we cheer him. A society
which supports such a sobering act is. like Goetz himself,
cynical and cowardly.
There is no courage in firing a gun; it is an act of
cowardice. Cowardice motivated Goetz to pull the trigger;
courage would have had him open his arms.
An Alphabet of
Resolutions
By Eric T. Houseknecht
Avoid the use of drugs. While
this may currently appear to be a
harmless diversion, in the future
it will in no way aid in the
acquisition of richly rewarding
tax shelters or beachfro- '
property .
Being hungover is not suf-
ficient cause for wearing
sunglasses in the dining hall, or
anywhere else indoors. This is a
practice which should be
reserved for the legally blind. Try
to remember this.
Carry on in your refusal to
remain conscious during
calculus. In real life I assure you.
there is no such thing as
calculus.
Designer jeans worn by guys
are like snowsuits worn by
adults: very few can carry it off
successfully.
Education majors who are
serious about preparing the
young for the future should not
teach them how to subtract —
they should teach them how to
deduct.
Female party-goers possess
other options besides the
smoking of Virginia Slims to
occupy themselves between
gulps of beer. Please keep this in
mind.
Gifted though I may be. I will
refrain from displaying my talent
to hit the spittoon from across
the room in front of guests.
However attractive you may
have been at the time, prom
pictures are no longer becoming

immediately.
Ignoring your table manners is
not at all advisable. Those of you
who still insist on eating jello with
your fingers will not be in wild
social demand.
Just because I am the owner
of a local restaurant does not
mean that I can put an item on
the menu entitled Veal Elmo.

South African-tied stock in the
face of mounting student
pressure and divestiture

Others, such as Minnesota,
Yale and the entire Michigan
higher ed system, have sold
stock in companies which
refused to honor the Sullivan
Principles, a set of six guidelines
businesses must follow to
guarantee equal treatment of
black workers.
But while some schools have
divested, most continue either to
avoid the issue entirely, or
condemn divestiture as an
ineffective and unfair method of
opposing apartheid.
Southern California, Illinois,
Pitt and Stanford, to name a
few, consistently have refused to
consider selling their stock in
IBM, Motorola, Black and
Decker, Newmont Mining, Ford.

Even after hosting a visit last
month by Nobel Peace Prize
winner Bishop Tutu, Harvard,
steadfastly refuses to consider
divestiture of millions in South
African stock holdings in its
endowment fund.
Harvard President Derek Bok
has publicly charged that
"divestiture will not succeed and
will cost the university money.'
"It's a controversial issue on
campus." confesses Harvard
spokesman David Rosen, "an
issue on which students and
faculty are deeply divided."
"With the publicity at a high
level, it will be vital to follow up
with protests and demon-
strations on campuses this
spring," ACA'sNesscn explains.

Lady Lancers Face Road Games;
Turner Named MDAC Top Player
Stung by a pair of weekend
losses, Longwood's women's
basketball team will have to
regroup on the road this week as
it visits Liberty Baptist Tuesday
night for a Mason-Dixon
Conference game and then
travels to Florence, South
Carolina for the Foxy Lady
Tournament Thursday through
Saturday.
Currently 5-6 overall and 0-2
in the Mason-Dixon, Longwood
beat Randolph-Macon 88-61
last Tuesday, but fell to Division
III number one Pittsburgh-
Johnstown 73-69 Friday night
and Maryland Baltimore County
79-74 Saturday afternoon .
The losses to UPJ and UMBC
make Tuesday's trip to Liberty
Baptist doubly important in
terms of the MDAC race.
Longwood is slated to play host
Francis Marion at 6:00 Thursday
in the opening round of the Foxy
Lady Tournament. Other
tourney teams are Georgia
Southern, USC- Spartanburg,
Limestone, Wingate, Coastal
Carolina and Fayetteville State.
Turner Named
Player of the Week
Longwood All-America
candidate Valerie Turner totaled
60 points, 42 rebounds and 16
assists in her team's three games
last week. It was no big surprise
that Turner was chosen as the
Mason-Dixon Athletic Con-
ference Women's Player of the
Week.
Turner had 27 points, 18
rebounds and six assists against
R-MC, 23 points and 10
rebounds against Pitt-Johnstown
and 10 points, 14 rebounds,
seven assists and six steals in the
loss to UMBC.
The Lady Lancers played well
in the Friday night loss to UPJ,
currently 14-1 and ranked
number one in Division III. The

COACH'S COMMENTS- Longwood coach Shirley Duncan gives her
team instructions during Tuesday's 88-61 win over Randolph-Macon.
Lady Cats beat Longwood 74-
54 last season, but got all they
could handle Friday. Poor
shooting (36 percent) doomed
any chances of an upset.
Also playing well for
Longwood last week were
seniors Mariana Johnson and
Florence Holmes.
Johnson had 13 points and six
rebounds against Randolph-
Macon and 15 points and six
rebounds against UMBC. She
canned seven of eight free
throws Saturday afternoon.
Holmes continued to close in
on the 1,000 point career
scoring mark with 34 points for
the week to go with 31
rebounds. The 5-9 senior now
has 980 points heading into
Tuesday's game at LBC. She
totaled 16 points and 13
rebounds against Maryland
Baltimore County.
Also hitting in double digits
was guard Caren Forbes with 40
points for the week.

Grapplers Start
Strong in '85
By Tony Brzezicki
After a much needed break,
the Longwood grapplers came
back to face a tough week of
dual meet and tournament
action last week. The opposition
was formidable but the Lancers
met the challenge and had a
productive week.
Longwood won two of three
matches in a guadrangular meet
at Hampden-Sydney Thursday
and placed fourth out of six
schools in the Liberty Baptist
Tournament Friday-Saturday.
This week the Lancers will
travel to Buies Creek, North
Carolina for the Campbell Duals
Friday and Saturday.
At Hampden-Sydney Thurs-
day. Longwood finished with
two wins and one loss while
setting a new school record for
highest score (55) and margin of
victory (55-0) in a win over the
University of the South. Coach
Steve Nelson's team also pulled
off an upset over previously
unbeaten Lebanon Valley (9-0)
with a 33-21 victory. Brown
University handed longwood its
only defeat 33-19.
Strong finishes from Steve
Albeck, 2-0 at 142; Tommy
Gilbert, 2-0 at 150; Tommy
Eaves, 2-0 at 158-167; Bill
Howard, 3-0 at 167-177 and
J^sus Strauss, 3-0 at heavy-
weight helped the team get two
wins.
Appalachian State finished
first in the LBC tournament
Friday and Saturday, followed
by Franklin & Marshall, Liberty
Baptist, Longwood, Salisbury
State and North Carolina A&T.
Lancer wrestlers placing in their
divisions were Tim Fitzgerald,
4th, 2-2 at 118; Steve Albeck.
3rd, 3-1 at 142; Chuck Camp-
bell. 2nd. 2-1 at 150; Tommy
Eaves, 4th, 3-2 at 158, and Billy
Howard, 4th, 2-2 at 167.
"We wrestled extremely well
considering the high level of
competition." said coach
Nelson. "We lost some real close
matches."

English Professors Studied
To Teach Bleak House
Faculty Evaluations To Be Improved
A four-day workshop was
held at Longwood College
recently for English faculty
members whose freshman
English students are reading a
lengthy novel. Bleak House by
Charles Dickens.
Under the pilot program,
which is funded by a grant from
the national Endowment for the
Humanities, all students in
English 101 are required to read
and "know well" a major long
novel. Teaching the work
.^erially — as many literature
classics were first published —
encourages more thorough,
lasting knowledge of the classics
which have shaped Western
culture, say the faculty involved
in the program .
Students in 30 classes will
read the 770-page Bleak House
this semester. The novel will be
taught in 20 installments, similar
to the way in which it was
'originally published.
Twelve English faculty
Imcmbers attended the
Iworkshop, which was held on
Ithe campus Jan. 9, 10, 11 and
14. They discussed the content
and themes of the novel,
methods of teaching it, and the
course itself, said Dr. Ellery
Sedgwick, who is directing the
program.
Dr. Michael Moore, from the
history department of Ap-
palachian State University, came
to discuss the historical, social
and cultural background of the
novel.
Funding for the workshop was
provided for in the grant, which
expires in December. A similar
three-day workshop will be held
in August, said Dr. Sedgwick.
Dr. Michael Lund; Dr. Donald
Stuart, head of the English,
Philosophy and Foreign
Languages department; and Dr.
Massie Stinson also are involved
in the program.
English 101, a composition
and literature course, is required
of all four-year students at
Longwood. Students will also be
expected to study shorter works
of literature and to sharpen their
composition skills, in addition to
reading Bleak House.

By David S. Areford
All of us have heard them —
complaints— complaints about
Dr. So and So and what he did
or did not do in class, or about
the grading of the midterm, or
the papers he never returned,
and on and on. The question
is— Does anyone notice these
things but us? And how and to
whom can we vote our com-
plaints?
According to the Longwood
Faculty Handbook, "Depart-
ment Heads will make an annual
evaluation of the performance
and contributions of individual
faculty members..." Dr. Charles
B. Vail, Interim Dean of the
Faculty, concurs on this point. "I
think it is important that the
reviews be done on an annual
basis even if there is no particular
action to follow these reviews."
Dr. Vail has been meeting with
department heads with one
objective being to improve the
existing process of evaluation.
Faculty are also indirectly
pushing for an improved system
of evaluation as evidenced by a
faculty proposal before the
Board of Visitors that would
have some salary increments
money driven by performance
appraisal rather than given
across the board. And that
would require an improved
evaluation process.
Though the issue of salary,
promotion, and tenure are
important to evaluation. Dr.
Vail's view of performance
evaluation is "foremost to assist
the instructor to be a better
instructor, to improve on the
performance as a professor and
as a scholar."
Students also have a part in
performance evaluation by filling
out the course/instructor
evaluation forms which are
distributed at the end of each
semester. In the past these forms
were carried to the Registrar's
office by a student where they
would be kept until the professor
turned in semester grades.
Last semester, these forms
were taken to the Department
Heads for safekeeping. Dr. Vail
hopes that by the end of this
semester the statistical results of
these forms will be com-
puterized. Thus only the
statistical result will be seen by
the instructor and not the in-
then it may reach the Dean of
the Faculty. Dr. Vail warns that
students must realize that often
names must be used and the
student cannot always be
protected against negative
reaction on the part of a faculty
member.
Dr. Vail also says that the
student must have "pretty solid
evidence that the professor is
failing in his responsibilities or
being abusive of them."
Solid evidence includes:
"failure to come to class,
dismissing the class capriciously,
using class time to talk about
— Faculty Reviews —
dividual forms. This will not only
be a more efficient process but
also a protection for the student.
The present policy is that
faculty members are only
"urged" to use these forms. But
Dr. Vail says that it is in the
faculty member's interest to use
the forms and the statistical
results. "Student views on their
work are among the issues that
one must consider in talking
about tenure and promotion.
And most faculty members work
rather diligently to see that the
file that is maintained on their
work is as complete and up to
date as possible .
Students can use these
evaluation forms to express their
views anonymously to their
professors. But what about more
serious complaints? The most
direct channel for complaints
concerning individaul professors
is the Department Head. If the
problem still cannot be solved,
things that have no relevance to
the course, failure to return test
papers, inaccurate grading of
test papers, and in any way
abuse of the normal kind of
relationship between professor
and class or professor and the
student."
Some students feel that their
complaints will get nowhere
because a faculty member has
tenure. (The Faculty Handbook
states that "an appointment with
tenure is an appointment which
is continuous and permanent in
nature") But Dr. Vail assures

Campus Pub Likely To Open In Fall
By Frank Raio
in response to the concern
[xpressed by students over the
lelayed completion of the
Student Rec Center, the Student
jovernment Association sent
jpresentatives to discuss the
hatter with Phyllis Mable, Vice-
President for Student Affairs.
|he delay has been caused,
|ccording to Mable, by the time-
|onsuming bid system that the
rirginia Legislature requires,
"itate institutions must receive
bids for all work contracted out.
The physical plant is capable of
building a stage or removing
walls, but electrical work, for
example must be bid on by
private contractors. The lowest
bid gets the contract. The bid
system does add time to a
project like the Student Rec
Center. The time that will lapse
between deciding on the style of
the furniture to be used and the
actual delivery of that furniture
will be four months, which along
with other delays will likely push
the opening of the Student
Center to August 1985. Original
estimates had claimed that the
Student Center would be open
October 1984.
ARA designed the plans for
the student center, which will be
a part of the existing snack bar.
The Student Rec Center will be
operated by ARA. Beer will be
served, regardless of the change
in the drinking age.
The SGA representatives
suggested to Mable that the
blueprints and artist's conception
of the Student Center be posted
in Lankford; these drawings
were put on display within the
week and may be seen at the
Student Recreation Center Site.

Objection to Vigilante Editorial
From A Sinking Ship. . . 7
These days, signing a contract to work in the Longwood
College administration must be somewhat akin to playing
Russian roulette six times in a row with the same pistol.
Chances for success are mightly slim.
The mid-semester resignation of a Longwood
Residence Education Coordinator hardly has students or
faculty up in arms. It seems natural now; we've had plenty of
experience with such matters. In the past two years, in fact,
six RECs have quit their jobs, and the Longwood rumor mill
predicts four current RECs will do the same by the time their
contracts expire in August. Ho-hum.
It may be more interesting to note that, in those same
two years, seven high level administrators have packed their
bags to leave. At least two were asked to resign by President
Greenwood for job-related gaffes, and others left without a
look back, tired of an administration at times regarded as
petty and difficult to work for.
The Greenwood Administration has a turnover rate
approaching 25% annually (including RECs, excluding
librarians in the composition of the administration) , a record
sure to make the Longwood contract a less-than-attractive
offer to professional administrators.
The frequent use of 'interim' positions, which have too
often slipped into lengthy appointments, is yet another
problem which this administration must get a grip upon if it is
to progress past its own problems to any permanent im-
provement for the College. The pretty speeches for the
politicians and efficient p.r. only serve as tentative treatment
for permanent problems.
If the image of Longwood as a "suitcase college" with
weak academics is to be diminished, perhaps administrators
should sell their own luggage before asking students to do so.

To the Editor:
The fear and terror of being
assaulted is something no one
understands until it has been
experienced first hand. The
helpless feeling as you lay there
gazing at the sky, your body is
numb and your throat is dry.
You lay there forgotten and
alone, will anyone hear when
you draw your parting groan.
What right does a person have to
strip you of your life? What rights
do you have to insure you don't
get harassed time and time
again.
If someone was assaulted on
this campus they might go to the
campus police; basically a futile
effort. Would that person then
become a hermit, locked away in
a room until the semester is
over? Would that person do
what Bernard Goetz did, and
carry on in life as usual; but
prepared for the unexpected?
Mr. Goetz experienced the terror
of assault once before. Deter-
mined not to experience it again,
he went to the police and was
denied a gun license. Like many
others before him, Goetz was
turned back out to the streets to
fend for himself. Millions of
people in big cities like New
York, Chicago, Washington and
even Richmond are assaulted
every year without the slightest
hope of retribution.
On the 22nd day of December
1984, Bernard Goetz did
something that over eight million
people in New York were afraid
to do. He knew the con-
sequences of such an act but he
still laid his promising future and
life on the line. Granted, Goetz
did not know that all four of
these gentlemen had police
records as long as their arms and
were wielding razor sharp, filed
down screwdrivers. But com-
mon sense dictates that if these
subway rats wanted something,
they had something to back
themselves up with.
At the moment of con-
frontation the fear and terror
welled up again. One journalist
stated that Goetz's
"inadequacies" made him pull
the trigger. I fail to see where self
preservation is an inadequacy.
Suppose Goetz "opened up
his arms" pulled out his money
roll and gave the kids five
dollars. Would they have said
thank you and went along their
merry way? Come on, I doubt
that I would have obliged in this
situation, because a transit cop
would have boarded the train at
Chambers Street and found a
rusted screwdriver stuck in
between my "open arms". The
loss of my life would have been
so insignificant that it wouldn't
even have made it to Itie 11

Geist Celebrates Unity
On Wednesday, January 23,
Geist, Longwood's honorary
leadership fraternity, tapped
seven juniors to assume the
organization's weighty duties for
the next two semesters. The
ceremony was held in Lank-
ford's Gold Room and was well
attended by a reverent crowd.
Geist's faithful president, Mary
Beth Hart, opened the festivities
with a warm welcoming
statement after which a
genuinely moving devotional
was delivered by Eric
Houseknecht. There were few
dry eyes in the house as
Houseknecht concluded. The
mood having thus been set, the
ball was kept rolling as the
candles of integrity, humility,
and intellect were lit. It was truly
a momentous occasion; all
present were stupefied with awe
and devotion to the force of
unity, Geist.
Named to replace Miss Hart as
president of Geist was Vicki
Bodin . Teresa Alvis became the
new vice-president and Nancy
Beane was tapped for the
treasurer position. In addition,
Joanie Reichart was named
secretary, Beth Moore took the
publicity chair position, and
Denise Chilton and Lora Bleutge
were named as co-Oktoberfest
chairs. In a surprise decision,
Geist elders did not tap Rotunda
reporter Pablo Duke for an
office. "Mortified," Duke was
heard muttering as he walked
away from the ceremony.
After the formal ceremonies, a
reception was held, the highlight
of which was the cutting of a
large white cake from Terry's
Bakery. The talk was jovial, the
hot chocolate flowed, and a
good time was had by one and
all.

P.O.W.'s Remain In Captivity
by Mark Holland
With the arrival of most an-
niversaries there is usually a
party of sorts, but today there
can be no celebrating, no joyous
partying to mark the anniversary
that takes place. Fourteen years
ago, on February 3, my father's
cousin. Col. Robert L. Stan-
derwick, was shot down in Laos
during our "police action" there.
Sunday he marked his five
thousandth one hundred and
tenth day in captivity.
During the Carter ad-
ministration, fanatical Iranian
youths seized the U.S. Embassy
and captured 52 hostages. We,
the American public, counted
the days until their release and
were amazed at our final tally of
444. It was inconceivable that
anyone could endure captivity
for so long. It hardly needs to be
said that 444 days is a mere drop
in the bucket compared with the
five thousand days that Col.
Standerwick has had to endure.
On that day in 1971 Stan-
derwick and his partner Major
Norbert Gotner were flying
patrol in their F-4 when they
were shot down over Laos. After
parachuting into the jungle, both
men made contact with search
planes and Col. Standerwick
reported that he was uninjured.
The two men were able to fight
their way through the jungle to
within 30 yards of each other
before Standerwick radioed that
he was sun-oundcd and had
been hit. In the 1973 P.O.W.
releases Major Gotner was
released, Col. Standerwick was
not. There have been no official
reports of his whereabouts or
physical condition but one in-
telligence report places him at
the notorious Hoa Lo Prison. He
has not spent any days as
comfortably as the worst days
the hostages in Iran endured.
The sad part of this entire
study is that Standerwick is not
alone. There are nearly 2,500
Americans still missing in
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
We know that of this number,
1289 were officially captured by
the enemy; the others are
perhaps dead, perhaps captive
but unreported. The U. S.
government must accept full
blame for this odious situation.
The botched Iranian hostage
rescue mission cost taxpayers a
reported 190 million dollars. The
investigation of President
Kennedy's assassination cost 5.4
million dollars and the in-
vestigation of Dr. Martin Luther
Kings' assassination cost a
reported 3 million. But to in-
vestigate the fate of the 2,500
men we sent to Vietnam and left
behind, Congress has allocated
the paltry sum of $350,000
which has not even been used.
In 1980 a group of white men
were seen working in a slave
chain gang in Vietnam they
shouted to the observers, "Tell
the world about us!" The world
was told and the U.S. govern-
ment has refused to act.
One might wonder who these
men are that we have turned our
backs on. They fall into several
groups. One group is composed
of CIA men, pilots and Green
Berets. These men were
specialists, experts at their work
and it is thought that they were
singled out by the Vietnamese
for their specialized training.
Another group is composed of
the stubborn, strong willed men
who would not buckle under to
their Vietnamese captors. Theirs
is the ultimate punishment for
disobedience. A third group is
thought to be comprised of those
who have been crippled or
maimed. None of the 591
prisoners released in 1973 was
maimed in any way. These men
had ejected at high speeds from
exploding jets, fallen through
enemy fire and parachuted into
the jungle. Yet not one had
managed to lose an arm or a leg
or even an eye or finger in the
process. This defies all reason
and it is thought that the Viet-
namese do not wish to return
those who are living proof of the
horrors of wars. There are also
those who were maimed in the
process of interrogation. The
Vietnames would in no way
want to return to America such
evidence of their horrible torture
tactics.
So on this fourteenth an-
niversary I do not celebrate, I do
not even mourn, I must say that
I do not even hope— that was
lost somewhere back in
childhood— I merely sit, wait
and try to "tell the world".
Student Activism Reborn
by Russell King
Berkeley's Sproul Plaza
reverberated with the sounds of
student agitation as 4,000
listened to speakers address
American military intervention in
a tiny Third World nation.
A memory of 1964? No, an
event of 1984.
The image of today's cam-
puses as havens for apathetic,
self-centered, glorified
vocational students has suddenly
lost its ring of truth.
"It's a myth that students are
apolitical," says Sara Mc-
Donnell, a U. of Minnesota
student. "There's been about a
10-year lull, but things are
beginning to pick up now."
In fact, student organizers
from both the Left and the Right
are reporting dramatic increases
of on-campus support, and
student newspapers are
reporting a sudden outburst of
activity on the issues of U.S.
involvement in Central America,
U.S. investments in South Africa
and the nuclear arms race.
During the first half of this
school year, students on
campuses across the nation held
demonstrations either promoting
or protesting U.S. involvement
in Central America. At the U. of
Colorado-Boulder, 50 students,
celebrating the anniversary of
the U.S. invasion of Grenada,
were met by 1,500 demon-
strators.
"There is a lot of activity on a
number of political fronts," Josh
Nessen of the American
Committee on Africa says.
"Students are generally active
and concerned about making
changes in the U.S."
In what is perhaps the
strongest campus movement of
the 80s, student pressure has
contributed to the divestiture of
stock in South African com-
panies by more than 40 colleges
and universities, including Yale
and CUNY this year.
A powerful student outcry for
divestment has developed this
fall. At the U. of Kansas, for
example, students threatened to
sue the administration if it
overturned their referendum
calling for the Student Senate to
sever ties with companies that do
business with South Africa.
According to Henry Atkins, of
the Central America Emergency
Coalition of Central Jersey,
more than 1,000 students at-
tended an anti-apartheid rally at
Rutgers. "There is a great deal of
student support for the causes of
Central America, South Africa
and the nuclear freeze
proposal , " Atkins says.
"It is absolutely not true that
student political activity is dead,"
Jamey Wheeler of the Young
Conservative Alliance says.
"Students are sick and tired of
the U.S. being pushed around."
The nuclear arms race has
sparked student activism on
myriad campuses in the form of
debates, demonstrations; die-
ins, workshops, films and
symbolic suicide referendums.
Sanford Gottlieb of the United
Campuses to Prevent Nuclear
War says that while "students are
more conservative on economic
issues... they are moderate to
liberal on social issues and more
dovish, and more open to new
ideas, on foreign policy than the
rest of the country."

Cited as proof that today's
students are conservatives is the
fact that 58% of voters aged 18-
29 supported Reagan at the
polls, but a CBS/New York
Times survey found that lumping
all young adults together
inaccurately reflects student
opinion.
Campus-based, pre-election
polls gave Mondale the lead in
the Ivy League, the U. of
California system and at the U.
of Virginia. Polls also found that
81% of Ivy League students
support abortion rights, 70%
favor a nuclear freeze and 68%
find the increasing role of
religious leaders in politics
dangerous.
An NBC News exit poll found
that 56% of all student voters
support abortion rights and 59%
support a nuclear freeze.
While the widely-proclaimed
conservatism of today's college
students has been largely over-
estimated, the distinctive feature
of today's activism Is a stronger
right-wing minority.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, Februarys, 1985'
Sporting Art On Exhibit In Bedford
Judicial Update
The lure of fields, forests, and
streams— and of the creatures
that inhabit them— is the theme
of the Longwood Fine Arts
Center's major exhibition for
1985.
America: A Sporting View, a
collection of some 50 oil and
watercolor paintings and
drawings, is on display in
Bedford Gallery on the
Longwood College campus
through March 3.
The exhibition traces the
development of American
sporting art— from the mid- 18th
century when the killing of game
and netting of fish had become a
sport rather than a necessity for
survival to the present time when
conservation and preservation
are of major importance to
American sportsmen.
The works on exhibit were
selected by guest curator Robert
B. Mayo, of Gallery Mayo in
Richmond. They are on loan
from private collectors in
Virginia, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Rhode Island.
The paintings and drawings
depict the teamwork of hunter
and dog, the flight of ducks or
geese against a wintry sky, still
life renderings of game animals
and fish, and works that are "an
historical record of life afield" in
the Adirondacks, the marshes
around Chesapeake Bay, on the
Western plains, and other
locales.
Among the artists represented
are Frederic Rondel, Arthur
Fitzwilliam Tait, Arthur Burdett
Frost, Susan C. Waters, Robert
Sully, Russell Smith, Ogden
Minton Pleissner, Percival
Rosseau, Frank W. Benson, and
Walter Clark.
Frost developed "his own style
of homespun art with hunting
and fishing as his subject mat-
ter," Mayo said. "His country
characters and city gentlemen
were painted enjoying the varied
aspects of sporting life." Frost
illustrated many books, including
Ur)cle Remus.
Pen-and-ink drawing by Arthur
B. Frost (1851-1928).
At the turn of the century, a
group of illustrators known as
Dedicated To
Elizabeth Young
In memory of her father:
f^ear shad\; wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed b\^ morning dew.
Shedding its sweetness da\i and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowli; rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall.
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength.
With never a thought of fear or pride;
It followed the light through the crevice-length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view,
Were found the same as (hey were before;
And it lost itself in beauties new.
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint of fall?
Na\^, let us faith and hope receive.
The rose still grows be\;ond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide.
Just as it did in da\^s of yorz;
Just as it did on the other side.
Just as it willforevermore.
the Brandywine School
developed a style that em-
phasized "realism and a sense of
capturing the moment." The
Attack by Frank Stick and Trap
Shooting by Samuel Abbott are
representative of the Bran-
dywine School, a style that
continues to influence illustration
and sporting art. Stick's
illustrations appeared in Har-
per's, Life, The Saturday;
Evening Post, and in books by
Zane Grey and others.
The conservation and
preservation movements of the
20th century have provided both
inspiration and market for what
Mayo calls "the first true school
of American wildlife artists,"
These artists depict "wildlife in its
natural environment and the
sportsman in action.... in high
realism and set in natural
surroundings."
This exhibit is the ninth in a
series, sponsored by the
Longwood Fine Arts Center,
that emphasizes the diversity in
American art. Previous exhibits
have featured the works of 19th-
century portraitist Thomas Sully
and some of his contemporaries;
paintings and sculpture inspired
by cowboys, Indians, and the
landscapes and wildlife of the
American West; paintings by folk
artist Susan C. Waters; a
collection of works by Lue
Osborne and Cordray Simmons,
early 20th-century artists who
pioneered in developing the
acrylic paints used by today's
artists; paintings focusing on the
sea and ships; and examples of
American illustration during the
period from 1880 to 1940.
Beginning the fall semester of
1985, the Dean of Students'
office tabulated information
regarding student involvement in
the disciplinary system at
Longwood. The information has
been summarized for campus
distribution.
As one might expect, the
majority of cases (78%) involved
males and 70% involved
freshmen students. Cases were
generated primarily by residence
hall staff (92%) and in 73% of
the reported cases, the student
did not have a previous formal
involvement with the disciplinary
system.
The nature of misconduct was
representative of the general
concerns expressed by students
and staff. Visitation and noise
violations were the highest (45
cases each) followed by the
safety violations, van-
dalism/damage, violation of
alcohol policy, and theft.
The disposition of a case can
be a combination of actions,
which are based upon prior
experiences and the nature of
the incident. The following
represents the number of each
action taken: written warnings
(73), educational tasks (53),
verbal warning (34) , dismissal of
case (18), disciplinary probation
(15), suspension of privilege (9),
remuneration (9), and
hall/room change (1).
Of primary concern on a
college campus is the number of
cases determined to be alcohol
related. Alcohol was deemed a
contributory factor in 34% of the
cases fall semester.
Additional information about
the judicial process is available
by contacting Anne Barsanti or
Ric Weibl at the Dean of
Students Office (392-9221).

STUDENTS RAISED THEIR OWN FEES to
help finance a library expansion program at the
Univeristy of Mississippi. The $5 fee hike, approved
by the Associated Student Body and accompanied
by a supportive student petition with 2000
signatures, was presented to the state College
Board for approval.
GOOD GRADES IN ENGLISH are the best
predictor of college success, says Louisiana Tech
U. registrar Harold Pace. English courses provide
good preparation for high-tech jobs because they
teach logic, as well as good grammar. And almost
every job requires good communication skills.
THE UGLIEST COLLEGE STUDENTS in the
country met recently and, to no one's surprise, like
each other very much. Bruce Morgan of Indiana U.
of Pennsylvania and Katie Neidhold of the U. of
Alaska-Fairbanks were cheered by 600 lUP
students at the school's fieldhouse. The two were
brought together after winning "ugly" contests on
their campuses, which were, in turn, named by Lisa
Birbach as having the ugliest men and women in
the country.
NORTH CAROLINA'S POPULATION
SKYROCKETS TO 250 MILLION. More than 90
percent of 1,875 U. North Carolina students
flunked a geography test, some estimating their
state population anywhere from 25,000 to 250
million. Less than half the students recognized
Alaska and Texas as the largest states. The exam
was given "not expressly to embarrass North
Carolinians or to indict our educational system, but
to link our state with the nationwide deficiency in
geographic training," says UNC-Chapel Hill
Geography chairman Richard Kopec.
WHAT USE IS A STUDENT SENATE? The
U. of Utah Senate tried to answer that question
after its November meeting was cancelled because
there was nothing to discuss. Some student
senators suggested the body be dissolved if it
cannot justify its existence. An ad hoc committee
was formed to probe the problem.
TO MAKE THEATRE more accessible to
students and to enliven classroom lectures, a group
of Cornell U. students are now performing in class.
Theatre in the Classroom, a new Theatre Cornell
program, dramatizes academic material, using both
theatre and non -theatre students as performers.
The group's first project depicted Appalachian
women at work for a Design and Environmental
Analysis class.
THEY HAVE NEW WAYS TO BOMB
EXAMS at the U. of Connecticut. Police there are
disturbed by a rash of bomb scares, apparently
called in by students trying to avoid exams. The
police are checking class lists to track down the
anonymous callers. The bomb threat calls have
been higher this fall than in the past two years. No
bombs have been found.
FIGHTING PREPROFESSIONALISM is the
goal of a new student group at the U. of Penn-
sylvania . The group is printing a new course catalog
which includes information about professors, types
of readings, prerequisites and workload in an at-
tempt to broaden education by drawing students to
courses they would not ordinarily take.
A SIGN OF THE TIMES: The Student Senate
at the U. of Southern California unanimously
passed a resolution to change one line of the USC
fight song from "Our men fight on to victory" to
"Our teams fight on to victory." The change was
made to recognize, and focus more attention on,
women's athletics.
YALE U. STUDENTS WANT MORE SEX.
according to a non-scientific survey there. Seventy-
four per cent would like more sex in their lives,
although 81 per cent already consider themselves
"somewhat" to "very" sexually active. The survey
was conducted by the Alliance for Sexual Progress,
a student group promoting more open discussion
of human sexuality. At Duke U., meanwhile, a
study by the Peer Inform.ation Service for Coun-
seling and Education in Sexuality found students
think there's more sexual activity on campus than
there actually is.
"HAVE SEX WITH A SENATOR WEEK"
won't take place at Northern Illinois U. this year,
but it isn't for lack of effort by the Student
Association senate. It unanimously passed a
resolution creating the special week at the
beginning of winter semester, but the SA President
vetoed the resolution, saying it was nonsense.
Finnish Instructor
Teaching at Longwood
THE STAGE IS SET FOR THEATRE ARTS to
flourish at Princeton U. thanks to a new student-
managed organization dedicated to support of the
arts. The group of students and faculty hope to take
over the more mundane tasks such as fundraising
and advertising and thus free campus theatre
groups for more creative pursuits.
Faculty Evaluations
Continued jrom page 1
that tenure is not a license for
misconduct.
"The purposes of tenure,
historically, have been to
provide protection to the faculty
member in his pursuit of what is
referred to as 'academic
freedom'." It protects the in-
dividual "from particular biases
that relate to economic, political
or social issues— even scholarly
issues." It protects the right of
the professor to have opinions
concerning these issues and
protects him from those who
might take action against him
because of a certain ideological
stance.
The awarding of tenure is a
sign of respect on the part of
fellow faculty members and the
college. "By the time you reach
the point of tenure the faculty
should be convinced that the
person deserves to be a part of
the Longwood community."
In terms of evaluation. Dr.
Vail does point out that the
tenured professor "is not subject
each year, or in every other year
as in some cases, to review for
whether or not he will be
retained in the faculty." But
these professors are still
evaluated annually for salary
and promotion purposes and
student complaints concerning
them are still investigated.
Dr. Vail assures that the
evaluation of faculty is an im-
proving process, whether it is
done by Department Heads or
through student evaluation.
Also, he makes clear that "all
complaints deserve
examination."

Erkki Tervo must have felt
right at home.
Tervo, a gymnastics instructor
from Finland who is teaching at
Longwood College this
semester, wasn't overly con-
cerned when Farmville's tem-
perature dipped below zero on
Jan. 21.
"It is colder than this now in
Finland, but not as windy," he
said on that record-breaking
Monday. "If this is the coldest
day of the year, then it is not so
cold for us. If we had to close the
schools whenever it dropped
below zero, they would be
closed three or four months
every winter."
When he left Finland on Jan.
10, the temperature there was -
37 Celsius, which is -34
Fahrenheit. "We are used to
cold weather. We just put more
clothes on."
Tervo, 41, is here under a
partnership between Longwood
and the University of Jyvaskyla,
where he has taught since 1975.
Longwood received a $50,000
partnership grant from the U.S.
Information Agency in 1983 to
develop an exchange program
over a three-year period.
Three members of
Longwood's physical education
faculty— Dr. Bette Harris, Dr.
Nancy Andrews and Ruth
Budd— have each taught at
Jyvaskyla for one semester.
Ilkka Keskinen, a swimming
instructor from Jyvaskyla, taught
at Longwood last semester.
Tervo— considered one of
Finland's top authorities on
gymnastics— is teaching two
gymnastics classes in the Health,
Physical Education and
Recreation department, and also
is helping Coach Budd with the
women's gymnastics team. His
wife, Tuula, a physician, and
their two children accompanied
him.
Tervo has been pleasantly
surprised by the hospitality of his
American hosts. "I've been
amazed at how friendly and
open the people are. We have
had a lot of guests in our home
so far. People have brought us
food and helped us."
Jyvaskyla is the only
university in Finland that offers
degrees in physical education
and related fields. Almost all of
Tervo's students will become
physical education teachers.
Under a new program he
organized, the university is also
training future gymnastics
coaches. Last semester, Budd
worked with three advanced
students in this program, in
addition to teaching there.
Tervo is active in the In-
ternational University Sports
Federation, which has about 100
member-nations, including the
U.S. He is a member of the
organization's Executive
Committee. The 21-member
committee meets about three
times a year in various countries.
In 1974, Tervo was president
of the organizing committee for
the International University
Sport Congress, held near
Helsinki, Finland. In 1978, he
was president of the organizing
committee for the first University
World Championships of
orienteering, held at the
university. Orienteering, popular
in Scandinavia, is a sport that
uses maps and compasses to
reach designated locations. In
1982, he was president of the
organizing committee for the
university World Championships
of judo, also held at the
university.
Through the Federation,
Tervo has traveled to about 25
nations in Western and Eastern
Europe, North and South
America, and Asia. He has been
to the Soviet Union three times,
visited most of the Iron Curtain
countries and was in Iran "just
before the revolution." Tervo
was an invited guest at the 1984
Winter Olympics in Sarajevo,
Yugoslavia, and attended the
inauguration of the 1988
Olympic Stadium in Seoul,
South Korea, last October.
The Finnish people like sports:
most stayed up to watch the
Summer Olympics, which were
broadcast live every night from
midnight to 5 a.m., said Tervo.
In the first half of the 20th
century, gymnastics in Finland
was "one of the best (programs)
in the world." Then, due to
foreign competition and out-
dated facilities, it gradually
declined. Beginning in the late
1970s, there has been a
resurgence in Finnish gym-
nastics, aided by upgraded
facilities and renewed interest,
he said. Tervo is president of a
national commission that was
created in 1982 to improve
gymnastics facilities.
Gymnastics is part of the
physical education program in
primary school and high school
in Finland. All students at
Jyvaskyla must take six
semesters of gymnastics. "Finns
believe that all other sports are
an outgrowth of gymnastics,"
said Budd.
Five years ago, Tervo
founded the Jyvaskyla Gym-
nastics Club, which trains 200
gymnasts between the ages of 15
and 18. He is in charge of the
coaching there. Gymnasts from
the club won five medals at the
National Championships, he
said.
Tervo was born and reared in
Tornio, a small town in northern
Finland near the Swedish
border.
Finns can be found playing
outdoors on cold winter days,
but even they have their limits. "I
can remember it being as cold as
-51 C (-62 F). Now, that's cold,"
said Tervo.

Reagan Attempt To Drop Ed Department Thwarted Marketing Program Improves
By Susan Skorupa
and Chuck Sade
The Reagan administration's
latest budget-cutting attempt to
abolish the Department of
Education is drawing protest
from many of the same
educators who strongly opposed
the department's creation nearly
six years ago.
They've changed their minds
despite watching some of their
worst fears about the depart-
ment come true since 1980.
Congress, however, hasn't
shown much interest in ap-
proving presidential advisor
Edwin Meese's new effort to
dismantle the department.
Congress killed the ad-
ministration's last effort to junk
the department in 1981.
But many educators still fear
Reagan's animosity toward the
department, restated the same
week he nominated William J.
Bennett to become the new
secretary of education, could
diminish its effectiveness.
"I'm afraid the department's
functions will fall between the
cracks," says H. Roy Hoops,
president of South Dakota State
University. "I don't trust
Reagan's motives in this cir-
cumstance."
Conservatives long have
opposed centralizing education
programs into one department,
arguing it would increase federal
interference in schools.
Until the Dept. of Education
opened in 1980, education
programs were administered by
the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) .
Just a week before President
Jimmy Carter signed the bill
creating the department in
October, 1979. Texas
Congressman Ron Paul
sponsored the first proposal to
abolish the department.
Some educators also opposed
creating the department, fretting
it would isolate education
politically and make it a con-
venient target for budget-cutters
and opponents of federal
education programs.
Many of those fears, of
course, have been realized since
then. Yet even some of the
department's staunchest op-
ponents have changed their
tunes.
"1 was opposed to the move to
a department," Hoops recalls.
"Now I'm equally concerned
about dismantling the depart-
ment."
"The department deserves
cabinet-level status although,
originally, we were worried that
(separating education from
HEW) would bring it under
attack from the right-wing, which
has happened under the Reagan
administration," says Scott
Widmeyer of the American
Federation of Teachers.
"From the administrative
point of view, it may be okay to
lose a cabinet-level office," adds
President J. William Wenrich of
Michigan's Ferris State College.
"But it's important that
education have the primary
focus and prestige of a depart-
ment."
"The U.S. needs an education
department to assure that major
national policy decisions in-
volving education are discussed
at the highest level of govern-
ment," explains Charles
Saunders of the American
Council on Education (ACE).
"Without such a department,
education officials tend to get
shutout."
Saunders remembers that
during the HEW days President
Ford proposed eliminating major
federal education benefits.
But when Saunders called
Terrel Bell, then HEW's com-
missioner of education, to find
out about the radical plan, Bell
said, "Gee, I'd never heard of
that," Saunders laughs.
Saunders, though, remains
ambivalent about keeping the
department. "Some days I think
the U.S. doesn't need one. It
depends on how I wake up in
the morning, though ultimately
it's better to have one than not."
"I support the department at
the current cabinet level because
it provides an advocacy role
lacking were the government not
to exist as at present," affirms W.
Ray Heardon, president of
Moorpark (Cal ) Community
College.
Heardon worries the ad-
ministration's plan to give
federal education programs to
other cabinet departments would
make education "a step-child to
each area with no major status."
"These departments were
established with other functions
in mind," he continues. "They
can handle the technical aspects,
but education isn't a major part
of their responsibilities."
Even now, "education is not
of parallel importance with other
cabinet departments," South
Dakota's Hoops laments. "The
federal government doesn't
define its responsibility. So no
one knows what the government
does in education."
Adequate definitions or not, it
may be too late to abolish the
department, Moorpark's
Heardon notes.
"If Reagan wanted to abolish
the department, he should have
done it at the beginning of the
first term," he says. "Now the
department is too well en-
trenched. Bureaucracy doesn't
evaporate. It perpetuates itself
and expands."
And some educators, par-
ticularly from private schools,
still aren't sure it should be
perpetuated.
"The involvement of
government has gone so far in
our schools, I can see the merit
in dismantling the education
department," states Robert T.
Craig, president of Tennessee's
Union University.
Craig notes private schools
like Union depend less on
federal aid than public in-
stitutions.
"We need to pay more at-
tention to life on campus," he
stresses. "And I doubt more
centralized efforts will help. The
wisdom of more bureaucracy is
not clear tome."
By Laurie Pool
Enhancing, persuading and
pleasing are all activities involved
in marketing that give any
person, organization, service or
product the competitive edge. A
large majority of people do not
understand exactly what
marketing entails. Therefore,
their chance to excel ahead of
others when competing for a job
or promoting a product, service
or idea is lost.
A group of Longwood
students recently installed a
chapter of the American
Marketing Association (ANA)
under the guidance of Professor
Burt Brooks. The AMA's goal is
to familiarize any interested
students, regardless of major, to
the many aspects of marketing
as it is a fast-growing area of
concern in all organizations.
In addition to chapter
meetings at Longwood, the club
participates in monthly meetings
of the Richmond Professional
Chapter where well-established
business leaders speak to and
encourage AM A members. The
AMA collegiate conference will
be held in New Orleans, LA,
April 4-6, 1985. Longwood's
chapter is also planning other
programs for the coming year.
All interested students are
welcome to attend the AMA
meetings. See Burt Brooks for
information on joining
Longwood's AMA chapter.
Broadsides Offers Writing Outlet
Broadsides, a campus-wide
publication for student ex-
pository, is intended to be an
outlet for all Longwood students'
writing. The faculty members
composing the Broadsides
committee are Dr. Craig
Challender, Dr. David James
and Mr. Bill Woods. They will
review all materials submitted for
publication.
Likely submissions may be
anything from poetry written for
a Creative Writing class to a
critical essay on Adam Smith
written for Econ 200. The
Broadsides will first be published
on Friday, February 15, and
later in March and April. All
student submissions will be
appreciated.
A $200 first prize and three
$100 honorable mentions will be
awarded by April 30, 1985.
Further information, contact
Challender, James, or Woods in
the Department of English,
Philosophy and Foreign
Languages.

St. Mary's, the 10th ranked team
in NCAA Divison 11 women's
basketball.
In a game that has to rank as
one of Longwood's all-time
biggest wins, Holmes scored 26
points, hit 10 of 10 free throws
and added eight rebounds,
seven assists and four blocked
shots. Lee scored a career-high
23 points, grabbed 11 boards
and hit 10-14 shots.
It was in the second overtime
that Lee and Holmes did the
most damage to the 15-3 Mount
St. Mary's squad. With 2:06
remaining and the score tied BB-
SS, Lee scored inside on a feed
from Valerie Turner to put
Longwood up 90-88. At the
1:14 mark Holmes .converted
both ends of a one-and-one for a
92-88 edge. The Mount never
got closer than three after that.
Lee scored seven points in the
second extra period and Holmes
dropped in five free throws in
five attempts to key the victory.
The 99 points Longwood scored
was a new school record,
breaking the previous mark of 97
set in 1980-81 (97-44 over St.
Mary's) .
Now 9-9 and 1-3 in Mason-

Super Win
Longwood Coach Shirley
Duncan had one word for
Saturday's double overtime
victory. "Super!"
"It was a real big win for us,"
said the coach. "It's probably the
biggest win we've had this
season. Our defensive intensity
and patience on offense when
we needed to be were keys to
the win."
"We thought that Mount St.
Mary's was beatable," said
Duncan. "Nanette (Fisher) and 1
saw them play at Liberty Baptist
Friday night. We're capable
team but we must play with
intensity."
The Lady Lancers led 42-31
at the half and 61-47 with 12:25
left, but The Mount rallied to
force overtime at 72-72. The
first overtime ended 82-82,
setting the stage for Holmes' and
Lee's heroics. For the Mount,
guard Shaun Jackson scored 30
and center Lisa Green 22.
Holmes moved into third
place on Longwood's all-time
scoring list with a 73-point week.
Zuraw Breaks School Floor Record
By Jim Winkler
Friday night the Longwood
gymnastics team scored its
highest mark ever (164.05) and
finished second in a four-team
meetat Lancer Hall.
Division 1 Auburn won the
competition scoring 169.15,
while Georgia College (150.8)
and James Madison (132.30)
finished third and fourth
respectively.
Longwood had the top team
score in floor competition
(44.55) as five Lancer gymnasts
finished among the top seven
competitors. Junior Lisa Zuraw
led the way, winning the event
and setting a new school record
as well (9.4). The previous mark
was 9.2, set by Kelly Strayer a
year ago. Strayer finished
second in the event scoring 9.1,
with Kerri Hruby and Dayna
Hankinson tying for fifth with
8.7.
Senior Dayna Hankinson led
Longwood in all-around once
again. Her scores resembled
those she was earning her
freshman year when she was
named All- American. As well as
finishing fifth on floor Hankinson
placed third on beam (8.65) and
fourth in all-around (33.50). The
senior had good scores on vault
and beam as well, scoring 8.25
and 7.9 respectively.
"Dayna had a very good
meet," said Longwood Coach
Ruth Budd. "She performed
well on all events and was the
only Longwood gymnast able to
stay on beam."

Albeck Named Player of the Week
Senior Steve Albeck is having
a banner final season with the
Longwood wrestling team. The
142-pounder won all three of his
matches at the Campbell Duals
(Jan. 25-26) and for his per-
formance, Albeck has been
selected as the Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period January 25-February
1 . Player of the Week is chosen
by the Longwood Sports In-
formation Office.
"Albeck is wrestling extremely
well right now," said Coach
Steve Nelson. "He is getting
back close to the form he had as
a sophomore when he finished
third in the Eastern Regional
Tournament. Steve has gone
down to 142 pounds from 150
and he's really working hard."
Now 14-3-0 overall and 9-1-0
in dual matches, Albeck is
wrestling well despite a sore
shoulder. The effects of a first
semester injury have kept him
from being 100 per cent
physically, but he has run up a
10-1 mark in second semester
action .
Albeck beat three tough
opponents at the Campbell
Duals. He decisioned Fuller of
The Citadel 7-4, Bobbitt of
Campbell 2-1 and Marks of
Pembroke State 9-1.
Longwood's all-time career
wrestling leader, Albeck has a
four-year record of 59-27-2.
Except for the fact that he sat out
most of last season, Albeck
would have more than 70 career
wins. Junior Tim Fitzgerald is
second on the all-time list at 51-
28-1 and Joe Bass who finished
in 1983 was 48-25-0.
Albeck, who now calls An-
nandale, VA home, is a
graduate of West Springfield
High School.

Grapplers Second In Tiger- Lancer Duals Tournament
The Longwood wrestling team
finished second in the Tiger-
Lancer Duals Tournament
Friday and Saturday at Hamp-
den-Sydney College. Out of
eight tough teams in the tour-
nament, Virginia Military
emerged as the champ.
Trailing Longwood in third
place was Virginia Tech.
Pembroke State was fourth,
followed by Newport News
Apprentice, Salisbury State,
Hampden-Sydney and Ferrum.
Longwood also finished second
in last year's tournament.
This week Longwood hosts
Virginia State and Newport
News Tuesday at 6:00, travels to
Lynchburg Wednesday to take
on the Hornets and H-SC and
Saturday the Lancers host
always tough Washington and
Lee at 1:30.
Longwood fell to VMI 50-3 in
Saturday afternoon's Tiger-
Lancer championship match.
The Lancers defeated Newport
News 31-24 Friday and
Salisbury State 30-23 Saturday
morning to get to the finals.
Steve Albeck at 142 had an
excellent tournament and
finished with a 2-0 record. He
suffered a rib injury in the
Salisbury State match. Pete
Whitman at 134, Billy Howard
at 167 and Tim Fitzgerald at 118
ended up with a record of 2-1 in
the event.
While Longwood's dual match
record is 5-9, six of those nine
losses have come at the hands of
Division I foes.
Lancers Face Test On the Road
Starting with a trip to Ran-
dolph-Macon Monday night and
ending with a journey to Lyn-
chburg to take on Liberty Baptist
Saturday night, the Longwood
men's basketball team faces a
rugged week of Mason-Dixon
Conference action.
The Lancers, now 7-12
overall and 1-4 in MDAC
games, could not match up with
a talented Mount St. Mary's
team Saturday night in Lancer
Hall and fell by a 70-46 score.
The defeat was the Lancers'
worst ever in Lancer Hall.
With the Mason-Dixon
Conference Tournament
looming on the horizon February
28-March 2 in Lancer Hall.
Longwood's remaining seven
games are crucial if the team
hopes to have momentum
heading into the tournament.
Next week the Lancers host
Maryland Baltimore County
Monday and Pittsburgh-Johns-
town Saturday. Home games
with Mary Washington (Feb. 18)
and Atlantic Christian (Feb. 20)
and a trip to the Mount (Feb. 23)
close out the regular season.
Longwood played the Mount
even for most of the first half
Saturday night. Sparked by the
shooting of David Strothers,
Longwood trailed just 20-18
with seven minutes left in the
half. MSM led 30-20 at the half
and pulled away late in the
second half, outscoring
Longwood 14-6 in the last five
minutes of the game.
Strothers scored 13 points,
Lonnie Lewis 10 and freshman
Boudewijn van Beest had 10
points and seven rebounds.
Thirty-three per cent shooting
doomed any chance of a
Longwood win against the
Mount, 17-1 and ranked fifth in
Division 11. MSM hit 57 per cent
of its shots, getting 18 points
from guard Mark Scallion and 12
from forward Neal Craig. Craig
killed Longwood early with 10
points in the game's first 10
minutes.

Colleges Still Hinder
Black Student Success
Although black collegians set students have higher SAT scores
higher degree goals than do their and better grades in high school.
WUTA Maintains The Void
white counterparts, they do not
succeed as often or as rapidly,
.iccording to a new report
sponsored by the Ford and
Southern Education foun-
dations.
The report, entitled "The
Causes and Consequences of
College Students' Per-
formance," found that white
students have a B grade average
while black students are between
B- and C + . The report also
found that 55.7% of black
students drop out of college
compared with 38.4% of white
students, and that black students
take an average of one term
longer to graduate.
Black students experience
more discrimination and "in-
terfering problems" and white
students are more satisfied with
campus life and are better off
financially.
The researchers concluded
that, "Universities need to take
specific, long-term measures to
assist black students to improve
their retention rates, progression
rates and college grade point
averages."
Further, the "qualitative
aspects" of college
desegregation must be ad-
dressed. Michael Nettles, of the
Educational Research Service,
describes "qualitative aspects" as
the accessibility and quality of
relationships with the faculty;
social aspects of campus life; and
the benefit of college experience
as measured by GPAs, graduate
admission, and the value of a
college education in the labor
market.
"The quantitative aspects, the
increasing numbers of minority
students attending previously
segregated colleges and white
students going to black colleges,
are very important," he says.
These represent equality of
opportunity, but the qualitative
aspects represent the equality of
performance."
Racial and financial barriers
hindering black students are
compounded, the study found,
by less than adequate
preparation for college in high
school. On average, white
The report points out that
these differences in college
performance vary with the type
of institution and according to
which race is in the minority. For
instance, 80% of white students
in black public colleges drop out
over a four-year period com-
pared to only 60% for blacks.
Thus, "minority status rather
than race per se may account for
some of the racial differences
observed," say researchers. Of
the black students in the study
sample, 55% were in the
minority on campus, compared
with 12.3% of the white
students.

If you've passed Longwood's
radio station (90.1 on your FM
dial) and received nothing but
static lately, be prepared to wait
awhile longer. WUTA, as the
station is known, has been out of
operation for nearly a year. This
fact is attributed mainly to the
conduct of its previous student
administration, which, in the
words of Moffett Evans, Director
of the Dramatic Arts and Speech
Department, gave the radio
station a bad reputation and
lacked total respect for the
facility.
More recently, however,
delays have fallen into the hands
of current President, Kevin
Sneed, who previously wanted
to move the station out of
Jarman and into a new facility in
Lankford. it seems now that
such a move is out of the
question due to the high costs
involved. "We have decided to
Evans Designs Set
For Twelfth Night
By Pablo Duke
Among the challenges of
performing Shakespeare for
the modern audience is that
of set design, explains Moffett
Evans, Set Designer for
Twelfth Night, a
Shakespearian comedy
currently being co-produced
by Longwood and Hampden-
Sydney Colleges.
"Trying to put
Shakespeare on a stage with
enough scenery to get the
message across and not so
much that it clutters the stage
is the idea," said Evans, who
built a highly-detailed model
of the Twelfth Night set
before drawing blueprints of
the set which will be used in
performances at Hampden-
Sydney's John's Auditorium
as well as at Longwood's
Jarman Auditorium.
The set calls for two houses
at either side of the stage, the
first is that of Orsino, a love-
sick duke, and the second is
that of Olivia, a beautiful
countess. Designer Evans
creates a clear distinction
between the two houses,
giving the house of Orsino a
"definite Tudor imaqe" and
the house of Olivia an ar-
chitectural design similar to
that of the Italian Renaissance
period.
"It's more ambitious than
we've done in the past," says
Evans, "we've got to fit two
full houses on stage and
make it look like there's some
distance between them."
The set is being con-
structed under Evans'
direction on the Longwood
stage, and it will be tran-
sferred to Hampden-Sydney
upon its completion this
weekend. After Twelfth
Night's run in John's
Auditorium February 21. 22,
and 23, the set will be struck
and returned to Jarman
Auditorium, where it will be
reconstructed for the play's
final performances February
28, March 1, and 2 in Jar-
stay in Jarman." said Sneed.
"The bureaucratic red tape and
the lack of funds would cause a
two-year delay in the station's
opening."
Despite the set-backs caused
by the previous administration,
Sneed and Evans seem to be
working out their differences, at
least on a professional basis, in
order to get the operation of
WUTA underway. Evans, who
previously, stated that he had no
problems with a radio station in
Jarman, as long as it was run in a
professional manner, seems to
like Sneed's idea of educational
radio. In fact, the two are
working together in order to
purchase a new sound mixer—
that will probably run
somewhere between $500 and
$1000— as well as new
microphones, albums, and other
additional equipment.
With these issues settled, the
only thing that stands in the way
of the station's opening, is an
official "go ahead" to begin
training any new students in-
terested in working with the
station, and the programming of
various shows. The station is
currently planning to operate 56
hours a week featuring classical,
jazz, and country music, as well
as educational radio featuring a
literature or poetry hour, a stu-
dent/faculty interview show,
and a "Meet the President" hour
with Janet Greenwood.
In order to avoid what
happened with last year's ad-
ministration, the new members
of WUTA have decided to break
down the line of authority.
"We're recommending com-
mittees," says Gustav Sallas,
who had his own progressive
rock show last year, "so that all
of the power and decision-
making that is involved in
running the station, is not
lowered on any one individual's
shoulders." It was decided,
however, to retain the present
administration until new elec-
tions could be held.
In the meantime, anyone
currently maintaining a 2.0
grade point average is en-
couraged to attend training
programs conducted by the
WUTA staff to become familiar
with the station's operations. For
those who are just content with
listening. . . Hold on, it won't be
too long now.

don't get to do often. All set

Despite the difficulties of
Twelfth Night, Evans enjoyed
designing the set: "It was
fun... something that we
designs are fun, but
Shakespeare adds
challenge... I'm just having a
ball!"

us clear-cut images of that we should explore with our

dullness and repetition. If ever a medium was created
which so fully rejects intellectualism, M-TV is that
medium. Here the practice of mindless procrastination
comes to its fruition and is rewarded with segment after
segment of blazing mediocrity.
It's likely that one could go on for pages about the
madness of college students sitting for hours straight in
chapter rooms, snack bars and dorm rooms with eyes
glued to a medium whose spokespersons resemble
seven-year-olds after a day at Disneyland, but there's no
need. Hopefully, it's obvious that a mind still is a terrible

College crowds are the best
crowds to play for, according to
The Lift. You would never had
known that by Saturday night's
performance; the turnout was
poor. The people who did come
saw a good show.
The Lift consists of Bryan
Forrest, guitar; Jay Culpepper,
drums; and David Orr on bass.
They describe themselves as a
"mod rock dance band," and the
description fits. They played
eight of their original songs and
also covered recent popular
dance hits including David
Bowie's "Blue Jean.". The
Romantics' "What I Like About
You", and "Message in A
Bottle" by the Police. Orr
successfully and convincingly
faked an English accent on John
Waite's "Missing You." Vocals
were traded off between all three
of the band members, and oddly
enough, no quality of sound was
lost. The night was closed with
an excellent rendition of the
Beatles' "Saw Her Standing
There." Once again, Longwood
College missed out on another
great SUN sponsored event.
The Lift plays in the Virginia
Beach area, William and Mary,
University of Richmond, VCU,
and soon hopes to be in the
D.C. area. They have opened
for such bands as Missing
Persons, The Dads. States, and
The Robbin Thompson Band.
An original four song EP will be
released in April. The Lift
already has a concept video
called "Dogwalk" which is
playing on the local Virginia
Beach music video channel.
These talented individuals do
have a long way to go, but if they
keep up their energetic per-
formances success will be in the
near future— that is if they can
attract a little more attention
from the general public.

Long lines of people waited
outside both entrances of the
Lower Dining Hall to see the
Voltage Brothers Friday night,
despite the 16 degree tem-
perature. Eight hundred tickets
were presold for the mixer
sponsored by SUN. Susan
Gardner, an active member of
SUN said, "We were not allowed
to sell more than 800 tickets due
to the fire regulations and
potential fire hazard with that
many people squeezed in the
Lower Dining Hall."
The Voltage Brothers
originated in 1969 in Rochester,
New York. All of the 11 stage
members and four off-stage
members went to high school in
the Rochester area. "We got
together a few times just to play
around and realized we really
had something," Doug, one of
the lead singers, said. Judging
from Friday night's performance,
they really do have something.
The band plays in many
colleges and universities during
the school year from New York
to California. Friday night was
their fourth time at Longwood.
"We like coming to Longwood
because there's always a big
crowd with a nice response.'
Leon Voltage said. "If you ask
any of us our last name we'll all
tell you Voltage. It's our com
mon bond," Leon added.
The group's albums, "Voltage
Brothers" and "Throw Down '
came out in 1977 and 1978 and
will be followed by another in
March of this year. On February
28 the Voltage Brothers will hi'
in Chicago for the NACA
convention and have been
nominated for "Group of the
Year-College Circuit". If they
play everywhere with the same
enthusiasm and expertise as they
did Friday night, they definitely
deserve to receive the award.

Profile of Freshman Class
By Bill Moore
The American Council on
Education 1984 Freshman
Survey results have just been
released, and since our fresh-
men gave graciously of their time
during orientation to participate.
I thought I'd share some of the
results. Those of you who aren't
freshmen can decide if these
attitudes reflect the way you and
your peers feel about these
issues.
To begin with, there's been a
lot of discussion lately about the
rising tide of "young con-
servatives," but our freshmen
attitudes don't exactly bear that
trend out overall. It is true that
22% of our students consider
themselves "Conservative" or
"far right," while only 17% label
themselves "liberal" or "far left;"
however, that still leaves 61%
who call themselves "middle of
the road." On specific issues,
Alexander Astin has called the
national freshman trends
"mixed." He goes on to say that
students are "more conservative
on matters of taxes, crime, and
drug use, (but) they are more
liberal than ever on matters of
equality for women, school
integration, and students'
rights." Those trends hold true
for our Longwood freshmen as
well. In addition, they seem to
be traditionally "liberal" on issues
like disarmament (69% say that
the government is not doing
enough to promote arms
control), military spending (only
40% believe we should be
spending more on the military, a
higher figure than their student
peers nationally but still not a
majority), and on abortion (64%
support legalized abortion). On
the "conservative"' side, only
21% believe the death penalty
should be abolished, and only
37% think that disadvantaged
students should be given
preferential treatment in college
admissions. As much as
anything, I think that this mixed
trend suggests that the
traditional labels of "liberal" and
"conservative" are breaking
down, a positive trend from my
perspective - if people are ac-
tually taking the time to define
their specific beliefs or positions
on these issues based on
evidence rather than media
hype.
On other fronts, it's interesting
that while 56% of Longwood
freshmen report a B or better
average in high school, only
24% expect to make a similar
average in college. Does this
figure reflect modesty, or a pre-
college fear that "college is
bound to be harder than high
school and I'm not really up to
the challenge?" Combine those
attitudes with the face that 56%
anticipate post-baccalaureate
education, 72% expect to find a
job in their preferred field, and
66% cite "to be very well off
financially" as an essential life
objective,— to me the mixture is
disconcerting. On the one hand,
I'm concerned that there will be
quite a few disappointments and
broken dreams here — many of
these students are not being
realistic. On the other hand, I
recall a perceptive column
written in 1983 by Ellen
Goodman (The Boston Globe
Newspaper Company) entitled
"The Case for Being
Unrealistic." Ms. Goodman was
talking about students who
expected to have it all— "tops in
their field without sacrificing their
personal lives," "(no) trouble
balancing family and career"—
and she argued that students'
"unrealistic" expectations just
might "fuel change" and help
them achieve, to some extent,
their goals. Her argument
supplies in part to the
discrepancies I see in the
freshmen data, and we (faculty
and administration) need to be
cautious about how glibly we
quash dreams by emphasizing
that students be "realistic,"
However, our data reflects
grandiose life goals but quite
modest academic goals— and
my experience to date at
Longwood does not suggest that
these students are counting on
their co-curricular involvement
to "make up" for average grades
when it comes to resume time.
What's up? Am I imagining
things or is it time that we as a
community of students, faculty,
and administrators confront the
concerns— constructively, rather
than posturing about students as
apathetic/unmotivated/lazy/stupid-
/pick your label (we're all guilty
of that, aren't we?)? Are we as
an institution doing everyting we
can, and as effectively as we
can, to educate and prepare our
students for their lives in a
changing, inceasingly complex
world? Or do we prefer to
maintain the status quo— in the
residence halls, in the
curriculum, etc.— without raising
these questions because "we've
always done it this way" and
"we're all overextended as it is?"
I don't think these questions
have easy answers, but I believe
it is important that we listen to
our students, understand who
they are, and raise the questions
in light of that understanding.
Since 1985 is a brand new year,
perhaps we can make some
fresh resolutions to maintain our
"sense of awakening" and
"critical thinking," and raise
some hard questions.

Tuesday, February 12,
7:00 - Honors Council
Room - Lankford.
By Tony Brzezicki
The Longwood wrestling team
brought its record up to 9-10
after going 4-1 last week. The
opposition was tough but the
Lancers wrestled strong and had
an impressive week.
This week the Lancer
grapplers travel to Virginia Tech
on Wednesday and then on to
the NCAA Division II Southern
Regionals at Pembroke State on
Friday and Saturday.
Longwood's only defeat was
handed down by a tough
Washignton & Lee team, 26-16
on Saturday.
In the Washington & Lee
match, Tim Fitzgerald at 118,
Pete Whitman at 134, Steve
Albeck at 150, and Jesus Strauss
at the heavyweight spot were the
only victors for Longwood on
the day.
Albeck notched his tenth
consecutive victory and a season
record of 18-3. Tim Fitzgerald's
record stands at 22-6 and Billy
Howard's at 22-13-0.
"We wrestled very poorly,"
said a disappointed coach Steve
Nelson. "We are suffering from
illness at this time which hurt us
too."
On Tuesday night Longwood
got a forfeit win when Virginia
State failed to show up. The
following night Longwood
traveled to Lynchburg where it
rolled over its opponents, first
defeating rival Hampden--
Sydney College 40-13, then
stunning Lynchburg 58-0, and
burying Ferrum College 6O-0
while setting new school records
for total points (60) and victory
margin (60) .

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, February 12, 1985
Houseknecht Estate To Be Auctioned
By Eric Houseknecht
Following are a few selected items from the forthcoming
auction catalogue of the estate of Eric T. Houseknecht.
1. DAINTY MAID (brand name) length 19 inches (48 cm).
Thus is inscribed this important example of the popularly priced hot
plate. Green enameled metal with black brand name inscription
and dials, this two burner plate was personally delivered to its
present owner by building superintendent Shorty Giles, long
thought to be a mythical figure. It is of keen interest to those
scholars and collectors dedicated to the study of Momenta Fori, or
Reminders of Poverty.
The Dainty Maid is interestingly proportioned, featuring two
burners but lacking room for two pans. This feature, being a fine
example of thematic discomfort, embodies the essence of the entire
collection.
The Eric T. Houseknecht Collection, one of the largest ever
assembled (in a dormitory room of that size) of Momenta Pari
effectively chronicles man's reaction to having no excess money
from the end of the nineteen-seventies, through early nineteen-
eighties acquisitions, until the present day.
All artistic media are represented; carvings in furniture, inkings
on paper, and works in many metal alloys. Each piece works, in its
own manner, to reflect man's underpayment of college-aged in-
dividuals on this earth.
The Dainty Maid hot plate with its two burners and two dials
reminds us that lack of funds is the ultimate poverty and that there
is no way to avoid this fact. Possibly the inscription under each dial
states it most clearly: High. Medium, Law.
2. BROIL KING TOASTER OVEN - early/late nineteen-
seventies, length 17 inches (43 cm). Emblazoned on one side with
the Broil King logo and on the other side with the legend "infra red
Bake 'N' Broil." Trimmed in black plastic, containing aluminum
rack and glass-like window, ornamental wire and plug.
3. IMPORTANT ROWE SLEEP-OR-SOFA BED- second half
nineteen eighty-one. length 3 ft. (.9 m when sofa), length 6 ft. (1,8
m when bed). Executed in plywood, upholstered with a foam type
substance and covered in a floral print poly /cotton drop cloth;
mattress in blue, gray, and white ticking, black-and-white cloth
label (do not remove under penalty of law)
4. TYPEWRITER, twentieth
century, length 11 inches (28
cm). Royal "Quiet De Luxe."
gray metal, four stuck keys,
unwound ribbon; the whole, a
mess.
5. COLLECTION OF FIVE
EGGS, not quite as late-20th
century as one would have
hoped. Representing eggs in two
modes, hard-boiled and raw;
three of former, two of latter.
Together with blue cardboard
egg carton and enamel
saucepan. Five pieces (at the
moment).
6. TWO TAN OBJECTS,
twentieth-century. One a pepper
mill and the other a salad bowl.
Both somewhat worse for the
wear. Two pieces.

7. LETTER FROM DEAN OF
STUDENTS' OFFICE, Fall
Semester 1984, 8V2 x 11 inches.
Ink on office stationary. Signed
and dated. This letter dates from
the early Latta period but still
shows a heavy Ogrosky in-

leader in wins, Albeck has a 63-
27-2 record over four years.
Last week he went 4-0 with
perhaps his most impressive
performance coming in
Longwood's loss to Washington
& Lee Saturday 26-16.
Albeck led the Lancers to a 4-
1 week, but he wrestled
Saturday with a painful rib in-
jury. Washington & Lee's Tim
Walker threw Albeck to the mat
with a strong body slam early in
the match. Despite suffering
from agonizing pain, Albeck
continued to wrestle after cat-
ching his breath and went on to
win a solid 8-4 decision.
"Despite his injuries Steve is
wrestling exfremely well," said
THE ROTUNDA/Tuesdav, February 12, 1985
coach Steve Nelson. "He has
wrestled 142, 150 and 158 this
week and won all his matches.
His record of 18-3 is the best
winning percentage in
Longwood wrestling history.
"Steve is wrestling with the
most poise and confidence in his
career at Longwood. His per-
formance has been a big boost to
our young team."
Albeck is one of several
Lancer wrestlers with hopes of
winning a regional crown this
weekend at the NCAA Division
II Southern Region Tournament
at Pembroke State.

Cagers Fall To LBC
Page?
Longwood blew a five-point
lead in the final 5:25 Saturday
night at Liberty Baptist as the
Flames came away with a hard-
earned 42-38 victory before
2,718 delighted basketball fans
in Liberty Gymnasium.
The Lancers, now 7-14
overall and 1-6 in the Mason-
Dixon Conference, will be glad
to return to the friendly confines
of Lancer Hall this week.
Longwood hosts Maryland Balti-
more County Monday and Pitts-
burgh-Johnstown Saturday in
Mason-Dixon games this week.
Next week the Lancers entertain
Mary Washington Monday and
Atlantic Christian Wednesday.
Longwood, which has only
lost twice to LBC in the past six
seasons (LC leads the series 9-
4), had a 33-28 lead with under
six minutes to play Saturday
night. When the Flames began
to get hot, Longwood managed
to get just one point out of three
one-and-one opporunities. The
missed free throws gave Liberty
Baptist a chance to come back,
and they did.
Trailing 28-23 with 14:11 left
in the game, Longwood went on
a 10-0 roll behind two jumpers
from David Strothers, layups by
Tim Wilson and Stan Hull and
two free throws from Dave
Edwards. After an LBC tur-
nover, Longwood had a 33-28
edge and the ball with 8:11
remaining.
Going into its delay game,
Longwood hoped to salt the
contest away at the free throw
line. Hitting 72 per cent of their
foul shots for the season, the
Lancers seemed to have the
game under control.
After the Flames pulled within
33-31, Boudewijn van Beest
missed a one-and-one at 4:02
Lonnie Lewis made one free
throw at 3:22 and Strothers
missed a one-plus-one at 2:42.
Given new life by the missed
free throws, the Flames got
jumpers from Mike Minett and
Greg McCauley, a layup from
Dan Kennard and a steal and
dunk from center Cliff Webber to
goup39-36with 1:01 left.
For all intents and purposes,
Webber's bucket settled the
issue. Webber literally brought
the house down when he cut in
front of a Lancer pass and
dribbled the length of the court
before slamming it through the
basket. Any wine glass within
shouting distance of Liberty
Gym was likely shattered by the
noise level from the resulting
celebration, as were Longwood's
hopes of victory.
The end result was another
bitter defeat for the Lancers in
what has become a season of
bitter defeats. Once again
Longwood played a more
talented team on even terms for
most of the game, only to see
victory slip away at the end.
Strothers totaled 17 points to
pace Longwood in scoring, but
as has often been the case this
season, it was on defense that
the Lancers excelled. Reserve
guard Frank Tennyson, with
help from Stan Hull, was ex-
tremely effective at shadowing
McCauley from a box-and-one
defense the Lancers used for
much of the second half.
The 6-3 McCauley had a hard
time shaking loose from the 5-8
Tennyson, and scored just three
points in the final 14 minutes of
the game. McCauley ended up
with 13 points and the 6-9, 230-
pound Webber had 10 points
and eight rebounds.
Liberty Baptist upped its
record to 16-7 overall and 4-2 in
the Mason-Dixon Conference
with the win.
"You played hard again
tonight," Lancer coach Cal
Luther told his team, "Now, let's
get four straight wins at home."
Lady Lancers Stun Hampton
Knocking off their second
nationally ranked opponent in a
week, Longwood's women's
basketball team dispatched in-
jury-riddled Hampton University
Saturday night 78-71, behind
another inspired performance
from senior Florence Holmes.
Now 12-9 overall and 2-3 in
the Mason-Dixon Conference,
Longwood has won five games
in a row, the longest win streak
since the 1980 squad ran off
seven straight victories. The all-
time Lady Lancer record for
wins-in-a-row is eight set in 1969
and again in 1970.
Longwood visits Maryland
Baltimore County Monday night
in a key MDAC clash and plays
at Div. Ill North Carolina-
Greensboro Wednesday night in
action this week. Looming
ahead is a tough test against
Division I Radford, next Monday
in Lancer Hall at 6 p.m.
In other action last week
Longwood won a Mason-Dixon
game over Liberty Baptist 69-66
Friday night and beat Randolph-
Macon 80-76 Wednesday night.
Holmes in Second
Place on Scoring List
Following in a long line of
consistent performances,
Florence Holmes totaled 20
points, nine rebounds. 10 assists
and four steals to lead the win
over Hampton. Holmes moved
into second place on
Longwood's all-time scoring list
with 1,176 points. The 5-9
senior passed Maryjane Smith's
1.167 points (1976-80), but still
trails Sue Rama's 1.471 (1974-
78).
Supporting Holmes in the
victory were Caren Forbes with
24 points (12-25 from the floor),
Melanie Lee, 12 points and 10
rebounds, and Karen Boska, 10
points and seven rebounds.
Valerie Turner, nine rebounds
and five assists, and Barbie
Burton, eight points and five
rebounds, played well off the
bench in the home court victory.
Hampton, which came into
the game with a 21-2 record and
a second place ranking in
Division II, had three starters out
with injury and illness.
Longwood shot 44 per cent
from the floor to 37 per cent for
the Lady Pirates, who were led
by Darlene Chaney with 19
points and nine rebounds. The
Lady Lancers beat previously
10th ranked Mount St. Mary's
99-94 in double overtime last
Saturday (February 2).
In Friday's win over Liberty
Baptist, Holmes had 19 points
and 11 rebounds, and Beth
Ralph scored 16 points in her
first action against her former
teammates. Lee and Forbes
chipped in with 10 points each.
Ralph had 24 points. Holmes
and Forbes 19 and Lee 12 in the
win over Randolph-Macon
Wednesday night.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, February 12, 1985
Rotunda /A7feAv/ews; Gustav Sallas
WUTA Disc Jockey Gus Sallas: off-cue and waiting.
Editor's Note: On page one of
this issue, a stori^ appears
concerning Longwood's
Campus Radio Station, WUTA.
The Station was closed last Jul];
when Department of Speech
and Dramatic Arts facult];
members and Interim Dean of
Facult\i Dr. Charles Vail found
the Broadcasting booth and
office area of the Station, which
is located on the upper floor of
Jarman auditorium, in great
disarrai;. Since that time, WUTA
staff members have been unable
to regain control of the Station
despite numerous appeals to
Vail and others. Last week, a
meeting took place between the
WUTA staff and Speech and
Drama faculty members, and it
now appears that WUTA ma\;
soon be back on the air.
The Rotunda interviewed one
WUTA staff member, Gus
Sallas, about the future of
WUTAat Longwood. Following
are edited segments of the in-
terview.
ROTUNDA: Firstly, and most
importantly, are the basic
questions about WUTA: What
happened to it and what is
happening now?
Sallas: First of all, there was
no faculty, administration, or
campus support for the radio
station. There was no respect
and there was little or no interest
in it.
Secondly, the individuals who
were involved in the radio
station last year saw this as an
opportunity for license. There
were no rules that were abided
by because nobody really knew
where the constitutution was or
what the rules were. In addition,
no one was listening. WUTA
was used by a handful of
students as an opportunity to
have a really good time playing
music on the air.
We want our DJ's to have a
good time, but in the future,
we're going to draw the line as to
what a safe and legal good time
is within the station.
We now have some faculty
support and interest is gaining.
Until we actually get the keys to
the radio station and get it going,
that support will continue to be
only tacit understanding-hurrahs
and pats on the back.
Rotunda: Who is holding the
station back now? Who has
the keys?
Sallas: I want to sit down and
agree with them what the terms
for future use of that radio
station are going to be, and I
want to set them down in stone
because 1 don't think shit like
that should happen either, I
agree with them.
But I also agree with a lot of
other people; friends of WUTA,
professors and some ad-
ministrators who feel that there is
a need for college radio at
Longwood. That there is an
opportunity we have to educate
these people to bring to them
information, educational and
musically uplifting programs.
Rotunda: And that is an
opportunity which Longwood's
handbook guarantees.
Sallas: The handbook
guarantees it and. . .it's one of
Longwood's fourteen goals-
effective communication
(reading) it says right here, "You
have an opportunity and a work
volunteer experience to become
a DJ at the campus radio station.
Rotunda: Why hasn't
someone in the administration
made a stronger effort to get
WUTA opened?
Sallas: I have a feeling that
they're scared of the potential of
the students at this school. They
don't trust the students. They
don't trust students enough to
give them the equipment and
the use of the station because of
what they've seen in the past,
and I don't blame them but, the
only way that human beings can
go forward and make any
progress in life is by agreeing on
ways that this mutual distrust can
be worked out.
Rotunda: What does WUTA
need more now than anything
else?
Sallas: Right now what we
need is to get into that studio.

get to broadcasting, and show
'them" that we can make a
difference on this campus; that
we can bring to Longwood a
variety of musical and
educational programs which will
be invaluable that will seriously
augment the atmosphere at this
school as being educational
rather than just one big day-care
camp for a bunch of bourgeoisie
petty thugs.
Rotunda: Is that what
Longwood is?
Sallas: 1 think so. . .
I see WUTA as an opportunity
to really change the complacent
attitude. The attitude that people
come down here, not to learn
anything in particular not to
expand their horizons, but just to
confirm what they already know,
what their parents have taught
them, what little small com-
munities have taught them.
They want that confirmed and
they want to get out of here with
a degree.
I never in my most sick
nightmares thought people
would go to college for that, 1
mean why didn't they just go to
some McDonald's industry
school and learn burger flipping-
wrist action. That way you have
all your concepts and your
thoughts that you've had with
you since grade school set;
nobody is going to challenge
them. But that's just not what
college is all about, or at least
that's not what 1 thought college
was all about. I thought you
went there to find out about
things— to be concerned— to get
instructed and interested. But
the majority here is the other
way around. Their a little group
who can't take their values and
let them be challenged even just
a little. The majority here is
completely complacent— comp-
letely sheltered. . . Longwood
doesn't go out of its wa\; to
induce a sense of awakening.
Rotunda: Is Longwood's
administration failing to see its
goals realized?
Sallas: I think in general the
administration doesn't go out of
its way to induce an open at-
mosphere that would be con-
ducive to a sense of awakening.
You get into a discussion
about religion in a philosophy
class and the only religion the
people around the table can talk
about is Christianity. I've been to
India, I've seen people who
worship rats-as gods, and I don't
say that's good or that's cool, but
people have got to see that theirs
is not the only way of life, of
living and I don't think that
anyone is really trying to help
them understand that here.

Budget Shift Leaves
Burden On Families
Public administration major
Vicky Heard says she
wouldn't be at private Atlanta
University without the
$5,825 in federal aid she's
received each of the last two
years.
And thanks to President
Reagan's new proposal to
limit students' yearly aid
awards to $4,000, Heard—
along with an estimated
630,000 other students who
receive more than $4,000 a
year in federal aid— may be
in serious financial trouble
next year.
The proposed $4,000 per
year cap is but one of the key
components Reagan un-
veiled in his education budget
proposal last week.
He also wants to limit Pell
grants, National Direct
Student Loans and Work-
Study funds to students from
families with annual incomes
of less than $25,000 and limit
Guaranteed Student Loans
to students from families
making less than $32,500.
Some believe the
proposals could affect over 2
million students.
For the most part, higher
education officials are
confident Congress— as it has
for the last four years— will
reject most of Reagan's
proposed cuts.
The newly-proposed
$4,000 cap on federal aid,
however, could gain support,
aid experts fear.
"That's the one we're most
vulnerable on because the
argument for it sounds at-
tractive on the surface," says
Charles Saunders of the
American Council on
Education (ACE).
"They think they're just
hitting people going to high-
cost, private schools," he
says.
The cuts would hurt
students at private colleges
more than at public schools
according to Julianne Still
Thrift, research director for
the National Association of
Independent Colleges and
Universities.
Three of every 10 students
at private schools would have
their aid cut compared to
about one out of every four at
public schools, she says.
But a disproportionately
high percentage of private
school students facing aid
cuts are in the lower-income
brackets.
Of those in families with
less than $6,000 in annual
income, 43 percent would
lose aid money, in the
$18,000 to $24,000 income
bracket, 28 percent would be
affected.
Hardest hit would be
graduate students, and
students at predominantly-
black colleges, where the
average family income of
students is below the poverty
line, aid officials contend.
Grad students are also high
on the casualty list.
Nationwide, about a third
of the students who would
lose aid would be graduate
students, although they
comprise only 11 percent of
all college students.
"I'm not going to cry
crocodile tears over students
in professional schools who
are in higher income streams
and have easier access to
loans," says Tom Linney of
the Council of Graduate
Schools.
"But this cut doesn't target
them. It covers the
humanities graduate students
as well. They're the people
going to be hit the hardest."
Reagan administration
officials acknowledge their
proposed cuts constitute "a
major philosophical shift" that
would increase the financial
burden on students and
parents.
But they say most of the
steep cuts are targeted at
students from upper-income
families.
"They have always had
extra money at home, and
the parents have chosen to
buy a car or make another
form of investment, as op-
posed to applying it to their
students' education," acting
Education Sec Jones says.
Higher education officials
are confident Congress will
reject Reagan's income limit
proposals, and many schools
have not even bothered to
compute the effect on their
students.
"We may be whistling past
the grave, but we have been
assured by all our sources in
D.C. that the income
limitations are so unlikely,"
says Stan Hudson, assistant
director for financial aid at the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
But the $4,000 aid cap
may garner wider support, in
part because it is viewed as
affecting primarily students at
private, expensive schools.
"What the administration
seems to be saying is that you
can't go to a college unless
you go to a public institution,"
ACE's Saunders says.
"And by implication,
they're saying they don't care
if the students attending
private schools are all
wealthy," he adds.
Moreover, Saunders says,
heavy reliance on federal aid
is more often the result of
limited personal resources
than high tuition.
About half of the students
receiving more than $4,000
in federal aid come from
families with annual incomes
of less than $12,000, he
says.
At Reed College in Por-
tland, Ore., for example,
most of the 77 students
receiving $4000-plus in
federal aid are in low income
brackets, says financial aid
director Richard Dent.
"That's precisely why they
are receiving so much aid,"
he says.
Reed's tuition is high —
$8,290-but Dent argues
that federal aid should
provide both access to higher
education and choice.
"If a student is bright and
capable, he or she should
have the right to go to
Harvard or the local com-
munity college," Dent says.
Handicapped Student
To Direct Meet
Shari Smith, a han-
dicapped student here at
Longwood, plans to organize
and direct the "Special
Olympics-Basketball Meet"
for any disabled or han-
dicapped person in the
surrounding area. The
basketball meet will be held
on Sunday, March 24, in
Lancer Hall. The "special"
participants are contacted
and encouraged by the
Sheltered Workshop in
Farmville, Inc., however,
Smith is asking for college
students to volunteer for
various responsibilities. She
has moved the event from
Saturday afternoon to
Sunday in hopes that more
college students will help
out.
Smith's Directed Study
Sociology course has given
her this large responsibility.
She has arranged the entire
event (with the help of Dr.
Ballard). She also needs to
raise $500 to support the
project and will be asking
area businesses and
organizations for donations.
After observing the
handicapped and disabled
employees/trainees at the
Sheltered Workshop, Smith
wants nothing more than to
see them smile, thus, her
goal for the Olympics will be
to make all the participants
happy.
Smith has lived with a
hearing problem herself and
since attending Longwood,
she has faced up to her
problem and is now willing to
help others with similar
conditions. "Having a
positive attitude" is the state
of mind that keep her going.
After she graduates from
Longwood, she is planning
to attend Galludet College,
the only college in the world
that deal with the deaf, for a
graduate program in
rehabilitating-counseling of
adults.

Oh yeah, we forgot Sporting Editor
Mark Holland
At neighboring Hampden-Sydney College last
weekend, William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was
thrice performed under the direction of H-SC director
Stephen Coy. The cast and crews of the show provided
us with a much-needed rarity: art in Farmville. Actors
and actresses from Longwood, Hampden-Sydney, and
the local community worked diligently to bring
Shakespeare to Farmville, a paradoxical task at best,
and they should well be proud of the results of their
labors. Unfortunately, the students and faculty of
Hampden-Sydney can hardly be proud of their at-
tendance at Twelfth Night. Fewer than 100 people
showed up at John's Auditorium over the three nights,
and many of these few were Longwood students and
faculty.
Little can we blame our fellow-students at Hamp-
den-Sydney, of course; Mid-Winters, a traditional time
for festive carousing about campus, was quite the thing.
Amid the general haze, there was little time for
Shakespeare. In soothe, it is the responsibility of a
Hampden-Sydney man to pay homage to Sweet Briar
women before all else.
Longwood students, however, do not have such
ominous responsibilities, and we should be able to work
Twelfth Night into our hectic schedules, even though
our past attendance predicts we will not.
Four times a year, the Longwood Players perform
for our enjoyment, and rarely do we show them the
support they are due. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
this week we have an opportunity to support the Players
of Longwood and the Jongleurs of Hampden-Sydney
who have worked for six weeks so that we can enjoy
two hours of Shakespeare. Let's show them that
support.

Attacks On Campus
By Barrett Baker
For weeks. Longwood
College has been buzzing with
the news of thefts and various
assaults on campus. The
Longwood Police have been
notified on some accounts, but
apparently the situation is worse
than it seems,
"My sweet-mate was grabbed
in the stairway of Frazer," said a
young lady who wished to
remain unidentified. "I think
security is a lot to blame because
it was around 1:00 in the
morning and here's this guy just
standing around in the stair-
way."
Another student, who also
wished to remain anonymous,
experienced an even scarier
event. While she and her suite-
mates were occupied in a far
corner of their suite, someone
broke into the room and escaped
with a small amount of cash and
a set of room keys. "I realized
that the keys were not just
misplaced when my suite-mate
heard someone trying to get into
the room at about 6 a.m. in the
morning using my keys.
"Fortunately," she said, "the
lock had been changed the day
before it happened." Un-
fortunately, the young lady was
so frightened by the incident that
she could not notify anyone in
time to catch the individual
involved.
Apparently, this sort of thing
has been going on for quite
some time, but there is really
nothing the police can do about
it, even if more people were to
get involved. At best the police
can check into robberies as
attempted assaults, but usually
end up with nothing more than a
filed report.
Some people feel that the
problem lies in the fact we don't
have 24-hour visitation, "if there
were always a night host on
duty," says Mark Holland,
"people wouldn't leave the
doors propped open, A situation
like that just invites people to
enter a building," Another
suggestion is to install a dining
hall I.D, punch system that
would unlock the doors. This
would cut out the problem of
employing people and still allow
access to the dorms.
At the moment, neither
system looks like they'll be
adopted so the best advice is to
never walk alone and always
keep your door locked. The
situation won't go away, but
these actions could decrease the
regularity of these events.

Twelfth Night Performance Mixed: A Review
By David Areford
"If this were played upon a
stage now, I could condemn it as
an improbable fiction," says
Fabian, a character in
Shakespeare's romantic
comedy, Twelfth Night or What
You Will. Fabian is saying that
the truth of his world is more
bizarre than fiction, and thus he
also takes the part of an
audience member viewing the
improbable and chaotic fictional
world of Illyria, the dreamlike
setting of Twelfth Night.
The "twelfth night" of the title
refers to the Feast of the
Epiphany, the day which
culminates the Christmas
season. This celebration, which
had once been a sacred
Christian observance, had
become in Shakespeare's day a
secular celebration which found
expression in drunken revelry—
a time when rules were usurped
by chaotic abandon. Though no
such holiday is referred to within
the play, Shakespeare doubtless
wanted his audience to associate
the holiday topsy-turviness with
the events of his comedy. The
whimsicalness of this play world
is extended in Shakespeare's
invitation to us to create our own
title, by his inclusion of the
alternate title. What You Will.
As the play begins, Viola, the
play's heroine has been ship-
wrecked off the coast of Illyria
and separated from her brother
Sebastian who she supposes has
lost his life in the sea. Viola
decides to disguise herself as a
man (Cesario) and to serve
Duke Orsino. The duke who is
hopelessly in love with love
itself, sends Cesario (Viola) to
woo by proxy Countess Olivia,
who will have nothing to do with
Orsino because she is still in
mourning for her dead brother.
Between trips back and forth
between the duke and countess,
Viola (Cesario) falls deeply in
love with Orsino and Olivia falls
deeply in love with Viola
(Cesario). To add to this con-
fusion, Sebastian, who is Viola's
exact twin brother, returns at the
end of the play.
"Foolery, sir, does walk about
the orb like the sun, it shines
everywhere," comments Feste,
Olivia's wise and knowing fool.
All the characters in Twelfth
Night are either fools, fool
Jerry Dagenhart, David Miller in
rehearsal for Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night. The show runs at
Longwood Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday at 8 p.m. Admission is
free to Longwood students.
themselves, or are fooled by the
end of the play.
The king of foolery and
revelry is Sir Toby Belch, played
by Longwood junior Jerry
Dagenhart, who is central to the
subplot of the play. And in the
current joint production by the
Longwood Players and the
Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs,
Dagenhart becomes central to
the play.
Dagenhart is superb as Sir
Toby Belch, the ever-drunk and
belching kinsman of Olivia. He
conveys such confidence and
command of space and attention
that he almost becomes an
anomaly as the play continues.
We look forward to Sir Toby's
presence on stage because he is
wonderfully animated and fully
developed by Dagenhart.
Linda Sauve, as Viola, also
gives an excellent and well-
crafted performance. Sauve
brings to a very difficult part a
subtlety in expressing the
problems and confusions of a
woman, who acting as a man,
falls in love with a man and has a
woman fall in love with her.
Sauve's lines are spontaneous,
and she expresses well Viola's
open heart and kindness.
H-SC Senior Robert Lendrim,
as Antonio, the captain who
rescues Sebastian and then
grows fondly attached to him,
does a tremendous job in this
minor role. Along with
Dagenhart and Sauve, he is one
of the few actors with a confident
voice and presence. Lendrim's
acting provides a rare moment
of tension in the play when he
mistakes Viola for Sebastian.
The uncomprehending Viola
does not know him of course,
and Antonio's feeling of betrayal
is made real by Lendrim.
Malvolio, Olivia's steward and
the target of Sir Toby and his
band of jokers, is played by H-
SC Senior Michael Boudreau,
who captures convincingly the
condescending and close-
hearted air of this self-righteous
fool. Boudreau also has a fine
command of Shakespeare's
language. But Boudreau could
have conveyed a bit more of
Malvolio's real pain and suffering
needed in the final portion of the
play-
John A. Simpson, as Olivia's
jester Feste, gives an uneven
portrayal of a character written
as a perceptive and entertaining
wit who is filled with an even
mixture of humor and melan-
choly. Feste's songs are,
however, done nicely. Simpson,
who wrote the music himself,
does a fine job here.
David Miller as the witless Sir
Andrew gives off a wonderfully
comic sense of confusion and
Sam St. Phard does admirably in
his first role as Fabian. Laura
Goodfellow as Maria, Olivia's
gentlewoman, also gives a fine
performance as does Delbert
Thomas who is well-suited for
the part of Sebastian. Glenn
Gilmer as Orsino and Julie
Krupp as Olivia are somewhat
unable to capture the language,
to convey subtle distinctions of
voice as well as emotion .
The set design by A. Moffatt
Evans is an attractive and
versatile arrangement of two
houses half on and half off the
stage with a platform extending
from the stage in front equipped
with steps. Thus a variety of
entrances and exits can be
made.
Stephen Coy's direction is at
times unexplainable; the
blocking is sometimes repetitive
and uninspired and a few scenes
are not fully realized.
Some problems may be
caused by Coy's insistence on
staying within the bounds of one
area of the stage at a time— on
stage left for Olivia's house,
stage right for Orsino's house,
and downstage for other scenes.
Though the houses do help
establish scene, the audience
would not become confused if
the action moved a bit away
from them.
This production of Twelfth
Night is one to see for some fine
performances and also for some
very entertaining moments of
comedy.
The play will be performed
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
in Jarman Auditorium at 8 p.m.
General admission is $3.50,
non-LC students $L00, and
Longwood students free with
I.D.
Summer Jobs at Cape Cod

the islands of Nantucket and
Martha's Vineyard are offering
thousands of interesting summer
jobs to college students and
teachers from all over the
country again this year.
According to Bonnie Bassett,
spokesperson for the Cape Cod
Summer Job Bureau, "—the
recent explosive growth in
tourism here has created un-
precedented scrambling by
businesses looking for summer
help. The seasonal job rharket
has never been this good.' ....
"the jobs are waiting, now we
just need people to fill them,"
she added. The opportunities
are exciting, the pay is good,
and now is the time to act while
the selection is best.

Houseknecht High Stress Diet
By Eric T. Houseknecht
With spring break fast ap-
proaching, scores of students
will soon attempt to shed excess
pounds by dint of strenous diet
and exercise. They will nibble
carrot sticks, avoid starches, give
up drinking, round around
athletic fields, lift weights, jump
about and contort themselves in
front of television sets, and
otherwise behave in a manner
that suggests an unhappy
penchant for undue fanfare. All
of this is, of course, completely
unnecessary, for it is entirely
possible— indeed, easy— to lose
weight and tone up without the
slightest effort of will. One has
merely to conduct one's life in
such a way that pounds and
inches will disappear as of their
own volition.
Magic you say? Fantasy? Pie
in the sky? Longing of the basest
sort? Not at all. 1 assure you. No
magic, no fantasy, no dreamy
hopes of any kind. But a secret,
yes, there is a secret. The secret
of exploiting an element present
in everyone's daily life, and
using to its fullest advantage the
almost inexhaustible resources
available within.
That element? Stress; plain,
ordinary, everyday stress. The
same type of stress that
everyone has handy at any time
of the day or night. Call it what
you will: annoyance, work,
pressure, art, love it is stress
nevertheless, and it is stress that
will be your secret weapon as
you embark on my foolproof
program of physical fitness and
bodily beauty.
DIET
The downfall of most diets is
that they restrict your intake of
food. This is. of course, galling,
and inevitably leads to failure.
The Eric T. Houseknecht High
Stress Diet (T.E.T.H.H.S.D. for
short) allows unlimited quantities
of all foods. You may eat
whatever you like. If you can
choke it down, it's yours. The
following is a partial list of
allowed foods. Naturally, space
limitations make it impossible to
furnish a complete list. If you can
eat something that is not on this
list— good luck to you.
ALLOWED FOODS
Meat, candy, tish, nuts, fowl, cereal, egg,
cookies, cheese, crackers, butter, honey,
cream, ice cream, mayonniasc, ketchup, frits,
marmalade, vegetables, llnguine, bread, milk,
cake, pancakes, potatoes, spaghetti, sugar,
syrup, pizza, hors d'oeuvrcs, Goo Goo
Clusters, pie, wine, liquor, beer, ale
As you can see .
T.E.T.H.H.S.D. permits you a
variety of foods unheard of on
most diets. And, as I have stated
previously, quantity is of no
concern. 1 ask only that you
coordinate your eating with
specific physical activities. This
program is detailed below.
EQUIPMENT
You can proceed with
T.E.T.H.H.S.D. without the
purchase of special equipment;
it calls for only those ac-
couterments that you un-
doubtedly possess already. A
partial list follows:
Cigarettes, matches or lighter, at least four
classes (phys eds don't count), an advisor,
one or more lawyers, at least one. but
preferably two, extremely complicated love
affairs, a mailing address, friends, relatives, a
landlord (R EC will do)
Necessary equipment will, of
course, vary from person to
person, but T.E.T.H.H.S.D. is
flexible and can adapt to almost
any situation. This is clearly seen
in the sample one-day menu and
exercise program that follows. It
must be remembered that is
absolutely mandatory that you
follow exercise instructions while
eating.
SAMPLE MENU
AND PROGRAM
Breakfast— orange juice, 6
pancakes with butter, syrup
and/or jam, 4 slices bacon
and/or 4 sausage links, coffee
with cream and sugar. 11
cigarettes.
a. take first bite of pancake.
b. Inquire of others what you
have missed while skipping
classes. Discover that you have
two mid-terms and three
research papers due within the
next 48 hours. (Excellent for
firming jawline.)
MIDMORNING SNACK
2 glazed doughnuts, coffee
with cream and sugar, 8
cigarettes.
a. Proceed to snack bar area
after picking up mail.
b. Take first sip of coffee.
c. Open mail and find
disconnect notice from
telephone company, threatening
letter for suspicious boyfriend or
girlfiriend at home, and a notice
from you R.E.C. concerning
your presence at several illegal
parties during past weeks, and
the amount of lounge furniture
in your room. (Tones up first
area.)
LUNCH
2 vodka and tonics, won ton
soup, shrimp foo young. Chinese
spare ribs, green salad, egg rolls,
white wine, a selection or
selections from the Dessert
Menu, fortune cookies, coffee
with cream and sugar, 15
cigarettes.
a. Arrange to lunch with
lawyer at Chinese Restuarant.
b. Taste first spoon of Won
Ton Soup.
c. Inquire of lawyer as to your
exact chances in defamation suit
against Longwood College and
State of Virginia. (Flattens
tummy fast.)
DINNER
3 vodka and tonics, spaghetti
al pesto, vel piccata. zucchini,
arugula salad, cheese cake,
coffee with cream and sugar,
brandy, 22 cigarettes.
a. Arrange to dine in Rich-
mond with a small group that
includes three people with
whom you are fiaving clan-
destine love affairs, your
younger sister from out of town,
ex-friend to whom you owe a
great deal of money, and two of
the lawyers representing the
State of Virginia. It is always
more fruitful to exercise with
others (tightens up the muscles) .
As I have said, this is just a
sample, and any combination of
foods and exercises will work
equally well. Your daily weight
loss should average from bet-
ween three to five pounds,
depending largely on whether
you are smoking a sufficient
number of cigarettes. This is a
common pitfall and close at-
tention should be paid, for
inadequate smoking is certain to
result in a lessening of stress. For
those of you who simply cannot
meet your quota, it is imperative
that you substitute other
exercises, such as moving in
downstairs from an aspiring
heavy metal band and/or being
terribly frank with your mother.
Occasionally I run across a
dieter with an unusally stubborn
weight problem. If you fall into
this category, I recommend as a
final desperate measure that you
take your meals with an advisor
who really and truly understands
your educational needs and a
hairdresser who wants to try
something new and interesting.
Nuckols
To Lecture
On Monday, March 4th, 1985
in Longwood College's Bedford
Auditorium at 7:30 p.m., Nancy
Ann Nuckols will give a lecture
entitled "The 1913 Armory
Show: An American Succes du
Scandale. Miss Nuckols is a
senior Art History major from
Crozier, Va. and has been
selected to appear in the current
edition of Who's Who in
American Colleges and
Universities. In addition she is
part of Longwood's work study
program, serves as art editor of
G\;re, is a member of The
Rotunda staff, and has danced
and coreographed for the
Longwood College Dance
Company. Upon graduating she
plans to pursue a career in art by
working in a gallery.
Miss Nuckols' lecture is
sponsored by the Longwood Art
Department and focuses on
critical and public reactions to
modern European art as well as
the Armory Show's importance
in bringing modern art to
America. A reception will follow.
DeGroot:
In an attempt to improve the
taste and quality of our meals,
ARA has hired an additional
chef, Pieter De Groot, to train
and educate the current staff. De
Groot, a native of Holland,
joined the ARA team in
January. Since his arrival he has
been working closely with Ric
Johnson, Administrative
coordinator at Blackwell Dining
Hall, creating a meal plan of
greater variety without sacrificing
nutritional value.
Most of us have undoubtedly
seen him rushing around
Blackwell Dining Hall, a tall man
wearing a billowing white hat,
but more than likely you've
dismissed him as yet another
Longwood faculty change. De
Groot joined the ARA team in
January; previously he taught at
a culinary school in Washington.
DC.
Chef De Groot is acting as a
guinea pig in a new pilot
program sponsored by ARA.
which is being conducted for the
first time at Longwood. The
immediate objective of the pilot
program is to "improve the
methods of reaching production
quantity and at the same time
improve the quality," according
to De Groot. He would first like
to improve the kitchen equip-
ment, believing it is "a bit out of
date."
New Addition To
Dining Hall Staff
De Groot believes that he has
the experience required to in-
struct the staff, as he has been
with ARA for almost 10 years,
and at 57, he has quite an
impressive list of employers.
Among others he has worked for
food services at the University of
South Carolina, Georgia Tech,
and at the Oklahoma City
Sheraton Hotel. While a chef at
the Sheraton, he served
Presidents Kennedy, Johnson,
and Nixon. De Groot has also
been employed by corporations
in the Soviet Union and China.

Wilkes Lake:
Uncertain Future
Foreign Language Week March 2-7
By Lee Richards
and Eddie Hollander
While out at Pizza Hut Lake
(Wilke's Lake) last Sunday, I was
approached by a man who
introduced himself as the
groundskeeper/all around
maintenance man of the area.
Weilding a Softball —
presumed to be left from an
earlier debauched game — he
bummed a beer off my com-
panions and proceeded to in-
form us that we were allowed to
stay.
"I don't imagine you were
here during the trouble," he
said, "but the owner had to close
up the lake again. 1 think he's
either got to open the place up
and keep an open mind about it
or put up "private property"
signs. 1 personally don't mind the
groups of people who come out
here as long as they clean up
after themselves. They can bring
it in and put it in their stomachs,
why can't they just take the
remains back out?"
The owner apparently
chained off the island again after
people parked on the grass, left
the area in shambles, and were
generally rowdy.
"This isn't the first time
something like this has hap-
pened," continued the grounds-
keeper. Bob o'Bob as he is
lovingly referred to. "Last year
there was an incident involving a
group of people who came out
at 1:00 a.m. and started playing
their music very loudly. The
owner went to kick them out and
they replied that he couldn't
because it was private property,
so he called the police and had
them removed."
As for the future of the lake,
no one is really sure what's going
to happen, but the owner did
have a somewhat positive at-
titude about it. "I don't mind the
90% of the people who come
out here to have a good time
and keep thing under control.
But it's the down 10% that ruins
it for everyone else."
"I don't know what he plans to
do," said Bob o'Bob, "but it
doesn't look good at the
moment and that's too bad
because this is really tht only
place like this in the area."
"Now if it were my lake," he
continued, "I'd just set a girl out
there by the chain and collect a
dollar from everyone who came
in. That way maybe people
would respect the area a little
more and I could get rich and
retire early. After all," he
finished, "I'm not getting paid to
pick up the garbage out here—
maybe it's time I did."

Lancers Look Ahead
Longwood's men's basketball
team closed out its regular
season Saturday night with a 77-
70 defeat at Mount St. Mary's.
Thursday night at 8:30 in Lancer
Hall a new season will begin.
The Lancers will face
Maryland Baltimore County
Thursday night in the first round
of the second Mason-Dixon
Athletic Conference Tour-
nament. The fact that this year's
tourney is being played at
Longwood will give coach Cal
Luther and his team some extra
incentive.
"Our team has been looking
forward to the tournament for
some time," said the coach.
"We've had a disappointing
season with a lot of tough
breaks. The tournament
represents a chance for us to
salvage some things. Playing at
home has to give us a lift. We've
played pretty well against all the
conference teams here.'
Longwood ended up fourth in
the MDAC regular season race
with a 3-7 league mark and a 10-
16 overall record. Five of the
team's losses overall were by
margins of two points or less.
The Lancers were 3-2 in the
MDAC at home, 0-5 on the
road.
Liberty Baptist will play Pitts-
burgh-Johnstown in Thursday's
first contest at 6:30, followed by
Longwood vs. UMBC. Waiting
in the wings are champ Ran-
dolph-Macon and runner-up
Mount St. Mary's. R-MC will
play the Longwood-UMBC
winner at 8:30 Friday while the
Mount will face th LBC-UPJ
victor at 6:30 Friday. The
championship is set for Saturday
at 7:30.
Tickets are priced $3.50 for
adults and $2.00 for students
per session with children under
10 admitted free with a paying
adult.
The Lancers split with
Maryland Baltimore County,
losing on the road 58-57, but
winning at Lancer Hall 64-59.
UMBC is 6-20 overall and 2-8 in
the MDAC.
The Lancers staged a second
half rally at Mount St. Mary's
Saturday night and almost came
all the way back from an 18-
point deficit.
Trailing 49-31 with 13:50 left,
Longwood outscored the Mount
16-4 to pull within 53-47 with
less than 10 minutes remaining.
The Lancers got as close as five,
but came up short at the end,
bowing 77-70. Mount St. Mary's
had beaten Longwood 70-46
February 2, the Lancers worst
defeat ever in Lancer Hall.
First team All-MDAC per-
former David Strothers scored
22 points and grabbed seven
rebounds to pace Longwood
Saturday night. While Lonnie
Lewis chipped in with 12 points,
it was Kevin Ricks and Lionell
Ogburn who led the second half
comeback. Ricks ended up with
eight points, six assists and two
steals while Ogburn came off the
bench to score seven points.

Notes
By Mark Holland
Sunday Brunch Approved—
In a vote taken last Tuesday
night in the New Smoker it was
decided to end the Sunday
morning breakfast and expand
the lunch period from 11:00
until 1:00 and serve both
breakfast and lunch courses. As
whenever change or progress is
made there are some who would
rather stick with the old ways
and this issue is no different. For
those who oppose the change
there will be a meeting of the
Dininq Hall Committee
Thursday at 3:00 in Blackwell
Dining Hall to further discuss the
change presently slated to go
into effect upon our return from
the Spring Break.
Temperatures Soar— As the
temperatures here in Virginia
climbed up into the seventies
Longwood students jumped at
the opportunity to begin work on
the tans. The roofs of most of the
dorms were opened for sunning
and viewing. For most it was an
excellent excuse to partake in
favorite excesses. A slight
damper was put on some of the
recreating though when the
owners of Wilkes Lake (Across
from Pizza Hut) chained off the
entrance.
Blood Drive 111 Sup-
ported—The Red Cross' Blood
Drive last week suffered from a
general lack of support by both
Longwood faculty and students.
The Red Cross had initially set a
goal of between 125 to 140 pints
each day but with slight "donor
support" the Longwood drive
was only able to collect 205 pints
for the two day affair. Teresa
Alvis, Vice President of Geist,
reported that in the past there
has consistently been better
turnouts but that the Winter
drive is usually not as strongly
supported as the Fall drive.
Approximately 240 donated
blood.
Dance for Muscular
Dystrophy— Starting at 6 p.m.
on the 29th of March in the
lower Dining Hall is the
Superdance for Muscular
Dystrophy. This is a great op-
portunity for insomniacs, hyper-
active students, and general
disco fools to meet people and
have a good time helping those
less fortunate than themselves.
Hope to see you there.

Hankinson
Named
Top Player
Lady Lancers Fall To 15-11
By Jim Winkler
Senior Dayna Hankinson
scored her career-high all-
around score (34.40) at William
and Mary last week, and for her
efforts was named the
Longwood College Player of
the Week for the period
February 15-22. Player of the
week is chosen by the
Longwood Sports Information
Office.
In the William and Mary meet,
Hankinson had Longwood's top
score in vaulting, beam, floor
and all-around. Overall, the
senior placed 2nd in beam and
floor, scoring 8.85 and 8.7
respectively.
Hankinson has been scoring
well in all events this season and
has been a good leader all year.
"Dayna has put it all together
and is performing well," said
Longwood coach Ruth Budd.
"She is doing better on beam
than ever before and has had
several meets in a row with no
falls."
In the team's first eight meets
Hankinson has scored
Longwood's top score on beam
six times. In every meet this
year, the senior has finished
either first or second among
Longwood gymnasts in all-
around.
Hankinson holds the school
record on beam, 8.9 which she
set her first year at Longwood.
During that same season she
advanced to the AlAW Nationals
and placed 14th on floor.
Hankinson's efforts have
helped the Lancers' chances of
gaining a berth in the NCAA
Division II Southeast Regionals.
Longwood's hopes for post
season plav in women's
basketball came to a screeching
halt with two losses last week,
and the Lady Lancers must
regroup for three tough road
contests this week.
Now 15-11 overall and 3-4 in
the Mason-Dixon Conference,
Longwood plays at league
champ Pittsburgh-Johnstown
Tuesday night and then takes
part in the Liberty Invitational
Friday and Saturday at Liberty
Baptist. Longwood, the Lady
Flames, Maryland Baltimore
County and Mount St. Mary's
are slated to participate in the
tournament.
While the exact pairings are
not known, Longwood will likely
be playing at 5:30 Friday while
host Liberty Baptist plays at
7:30. Consolation and
championship games are set for
1:00 and 3:00 Saturday af-
ternoon.
Longwood got off to a great
start last week with an 80-73 win
over Radford Monday night.
Mary Washington put an end to
Longwood's eight-game winning
streak Thursday night 69-67 and
Mount St. Mary's beat the Lady
Lancers 83-49 Saturday af-
ternoon in Emmitsburg, MD.
Longwood coach Shirley
Duncan said the officiating
Saturday was the most biased
she has ever seen.
"They (the officials) never
gave us a chance," said Duncan.
"It was incredible."
Duncan cited the fact that
Longwood was called for 18
second half fouls and the Mount
just three. For the game the
Lady Lancers were charged with
32 fouls and the Mount 13.
While Longwood made 9-10
free throws, MSM converted 29-
49.
Duncan said that many of
Longwood's 40 turnovers were
walking or three-second calls.
"Our players were very
SHARPSHOOTER- Longwood's Melaine Lee (41) goes up for two
of the 21 points she scored in 80-73 win over Radford last Mon-
day.
frustrated," said the coach.
Incredibly, Longwood got just
four points from its top three
scorers, Florence Holmes,
Caren Forbes and Valerie
Turner, who normally account
for over 42 points per contest.
Turner failed to score in limited
playing time. Holmes had two
points and Forbes two.
Center Karen Boska tallied 14
points, Beth Ralph had 11 and
Kellie Jordan scored 10.
Freshman center Barbie Burton
had 11 rebounds and five points.
Longwood had beaten the
Mount earlier 99-94 in double
overtime.
Longwood blew a seven-point
halftime lead and played flat in
losing to Mary Washington 69-
67 Thursday night. Holmes had
22 points and 11 rebounds.
sophomore Melanie Lee had 18
points and 13 rebounds and
Forbes scored 16 points.
Lee Coming On Strong
Most improved of
Longwood's cagers has to be
Melanie Lee, who had an in-
credible string of nine straight
standout performances prior to
Saturday's loss at the Mount.
Lee, a 5-11 forward, made 58 of
92 shots from the floor (63
percent) and scored 128 points
(14.2 avg.) over a nine-game
stretch. She improved her
shooting percentage from 35.5
to 48.1 and raised her scoring
average to 7.7 fourth best on the
team.
Lee had 21 points on 10-12
shooting from the floor in last
Monday's big win over Radford.

Baseball Team Opens On The Road
THE ROTUND A/Tuesday, February 26, 1985
Longwood will unveil its 1985
baseball team this week with a
nine-game road trip to North
and South Carolina stretching
from Wednesday through
Sunday.
The Lancers, a team laden
with veterans, play at St. An-
drews for a single game Wed-
nesday in Laurinburg, N. C. and
then tackle four straight
doubleheaders in South
Carolina. Francis Marion is
Thursday's foe, Morris Friday,
Benedict Saturday and Allen
University Sunday. Longwood
plays at Hampden-Sydney
Wednesday, March 6.
For the fourth straight year the
Longwood baseball team ex-
pects to be a contender for the
NCAA Division II Playoffs. The
Lancers, 85-30-1 over the past
three seasons, have qualified for
the NCAA Tournament two of
those years, winning the South
Atlantic Region crown in 1982
and finishing third in the 1984
tournament.
Coach Charles (Buddy)
Bolding (144-66-1 in six years)
has seven of nine regular starters
returning, plus his top five
pitchers from a team that went
32-11 in 1984. To replace

potentially the top recruit in
Longwood history. Davis was
the MVP of AAA (VA) State
champ Halifax Co. High School
and hit .454 his senior year.
"I feel real good about this
team," says Bolding. "We were
very young last year but still did
well enough to make the
playoffs. We have a veteran ball
club now, and we anticipate
earning yet another NCAA
Tournament berth this season."
Bolding has an abundance of
talent to work with. Expected to
share time at first base and
designated hitter are senior Allen
Lawter (.264, 28 RBFs, 6
homers) and soph Jeff Mayone
(.398, 52 RBFs. 9 homers),
and Tournament teams last
season.
Other veteran infielders in-
clude junior Todd Thompson
(.329, 23 RBI's) at second base,
soph Jeff Rohm (.363, 29 RBI's,
6 HRs) at catcher and
sophomore Marty Ford (.362,
32 RBI's, 29-35 stolen bases) at
third base. Thompson and
Rohm were third team All-
Region while Ford made the
South Atlantic All-Tournament
squad.
Kelvin Davis is the lone
freshman in Longwood's starting
lineup. An excellent defensive
performer at shortstop, Davis
has the rare combination of
speed and power.
The veteran outfield will be
comprised of junior Dennis
Leftwich (.379, 33 RBI's. 43-44
stolen bases) in center, junior
Mike Haskins (.407, 22 RBI's,
14-14 stolen bases) in right and
junior Tommy Walsh (.270, 21
RBI's) in left. Leftwich made All
Region and ranked third among
Division II base-stealers, while
Haskins was named Virginia
Player of the Year. Walsh played
in 31 games last season, and
should be a solid performer.
Longwood's pitching staff set
a school record for complete
games (26) last season, and five
of six return from that group.
Junior Scott Mills established
school marks for complete
games with nine and innings
pitched with 89.3. Mills is a
righthander.
Junior lefthander Todd Ashby
has a 6-3 record and hurled
Longwood's 2-1 win over ACC
member Virginia. Also effective
in relief, Ashby earned a pair of
saves last season. A major factor
as a freshman last season, Tony
Browning had a 6-1 record and
a team low ERA of 4.05. Mills,
Ashby and Browning were the
Lancers' top starters a year ago.
Sophomore righthanders Rob
Furth (5-0) and Sam Hart (3-0)
were unbeaten as freshmen.
Coach Bolding has high hopes
for Furth as one of his main
starters while Hart will be a relief
specialist.
Freshmen hurlers Tony
Beverley, a lefthander, and Dale
Weaver, a righthander with a
side-arm delivery, showed a lot
of potential in fall workouts.
Gymnasts Finish Third;
Host Towson Sunday
By Jim Winkler
The Longwood gymnastics

Kelly Strayer and Dayna
Hankinson led the Lancers.
Strayer placed 2nd on floor

Hankinson scored the teams
top score on beam (8.40), which
finished her 8th overall in the
event. Hankinson tied for 6th in
all-around, scoring 33.70.

LC Beauty Pageant
There is great comfort in knowing that one may never
again witness so banal an event as the 1985 Miss Longwood
Pageant. Billed as "one of Virginia's best local pageants/'
Saturday evening's show was rather an exercise in ex-
ploitation of these ten women who stood on the Jarman
Stage.
The notion of a beauty pageant— and there is no
escaping the simple fact that the Miss Longwood Pageant is
first and foremost a "beauty match"— brings to my mind
images of tanned, sultry women in long flowing gowns and
skimpy beach attire prancing about on stage to impress a
group of slobbering, toothless old men who judge women by
some subjective indicators perhaps as base as we can
imagine them to be. Admittedly, however, my mind is that of
a semi-pro cynic, and the average Longwood student may
see the pageant as something entirely different— more halos,
I suppose.
At any rate, my theme here is exploitation and I shan't
quibble over such minor interpretative differences; the Miss
Longwood Pageant exploits the women who participate in
it— never mind the fact that they volunteer for this mad-
ness—it is a foot race for a $L500 purse in which the
contestants must show their bodies to a supposedly objective
group of judges hoping for top bids.
Talent is not an issue here, though the proponents of
any pageant will always claim it to be. The talent competition
in our beauty pageant is but a paltry attempt to justify the rest
of the travesty before us. If this extravaganza were indeed a
scholarship program as it has been called, there would be no
need for the scholarly young bodies in the competition to
parade about on stage in bathing suits. There would be no
need for an evening gown competition which limits one's
potential to one's assets. There would be no need for this
farce at all.

Houseknecht On Spring Fashions
By Eric T. Houseknecht
Last Wednesday was the first
day of spring, a time when
students (myself included) in-
variably ignored the better
advice of their mothers and did
not wait until Memorial Day to
break out their spring fashions.
Shorts of all lengths and styles
were seen atop legs varying in
pigment from "savage tan" to
those whiter than fish bellies.
The sunniest of days had
precocious students donning
their Ray-bans, not for
protection from the sun, but
rather to ward off the glare from
those offensively pale shins
getting their first exposure of the
year.
You, the men of the
Longwood community, slaves to
fashion that you are (could
anything be more obvious?) are
undoubtedly asking yourselves,
"What will the well-dressed man
be wearing this spring?" and
"How does my current collection
of duds stack up?" 1 must admit
:hat there are disconcerting
moments when the truth about
my wardrobe is impressed on
me. About a month ago the clerk
at the dry-cleaners looked me
over and said. "You know, we
narrow lapels for ten dollars, and
that includes cleaning."
That comment really struck a
nerve. It ended the brief, but
nonetheless joyful period in my
life when I had felt good about
my wardrobe. Last semester 1
read a New York Times in-
terview with an incredibly well-
bred patrician. Asked where he
bought his clothes, he smiled
I'ld replied: "People of our sort
do not buy clothes. We have
them."
That sent a rush of joy through
me because I too, do not buy
clothes. I simply have them. 1
certainly do not remember
picking them out in any store.
Unfortunately, my euphoria
lasted only about one minute. It
occurred to me that a major
difference existed between me
and the patrician: The only
people who ever ask me where 1
buy my clothes do so with a
smirk exposing their disdain for
my family's preference towards
plaid.
Please understand, I am not
ideologically opposed to the
following of fashion. The belief
that real men do not drink white
wine or dress well is not part of
my psychological baggage
Every morning I spend con-
siderable time trying to decide
whether to wear my favorite
brown shoes or my other brown
ones. 1 have a dresser drawer
filled with socks of many colors
that, while I rarely wear them, 1
certainly own but just as certainly
never bought.
Still, like every other
American male, 1 keep up with
fashion. Every fall when the
fashion supplements come out,
with their pictures of male
models in sleek Italian suits and
nubby sportswear, I take out one
of my wrinkled plaid sport coats
and strike a Continental pose
before the mirror. Somehow it's
not the same.
So, you see, we seriously
antiquated dressers are not
unaware of contemporary
culture. And yet, you may not
realize how difficult it is for us to
tolerate a world where a man's
clothes are judged by how
recently he bought them.
Modishly dressed men seem
unaware that their addiction to
newness betrays a spiritual
inferiority. The carefully casual
dresser would never admit it to
these dandies, but he is proud of
his wardrobe's antiquity. If he
shopped for clothes, it would be
at Sotheby's.
Take for instance, the trusted
old suit with its elegant patina,
which the uninstructed might
call a shine. Either your suit has
it or it doesn't. The chronic bag
at the knee is another true sign
of style, one of the innumerable
ways in which old-clothes
loyalists flash a sign of
recognition to one another. In
fact, any hint of press is a dead
giveaway, an admission that
one's wardrobe dates from the
Post-Polyester era.
Shirts, of any style, must
appear to be gifts. Shoes should
almost always be brown, though
scuffy black is appropriate for
formal wear, and since spring is
here, one will no longer be
considered peacocky for
sporting shoes of a very dingy
white. One item that the pur-
posely bad dresser must own is
an outdated tuxedo; the lapels
being either too wide or too
narrow.
You may have noticed fantasy
creeping in here. Perhaps I still
harbor illusions about being
mistaken for a member of the
old-clothes aristocracy. I have, in
fact, a recurrent dream in which
a reporter from Town and
Countr\! comes to interview me.
1 am togged out in tweedy,
nondescript brown. The in-
terviewer, a person of some
taste, if no background, clearly
admires my spotted tie but tries
to hide his envy by asking about
my wrinkled trousers. I tell him
that men of my stature do not
have their pants pressed; we
send them away to a little shop
in Saville Row to have them
.specially crumpled. Our closets
are stocked with vintage clothes
acquired, we forget how, shortly
after the last Crusade.
I will inform the interviewer
that I myself, own a particularly
well-aged pair of white flannel
tennis trousers that I break out
on special occasions. I also, of
course, have a brown pair. But,
sorry, 1 can't really remember
where my clothes come from I
simply have them.

Campus Events
Stock Weapons, Not Suicide
Pills, says a University of Texas
conservative student group. The
Texas Review Society, formed in
1983 to publish a conservative
journal, is passing around
petitions urging the university to
stockpile guns. The purpose of
the effort, says group members,
is to show how ludricous cyanide
pill petitions are. A UT student
senator recently started cir-
culating a suicide pill petition on
the Austin campus.
Freshmen Come To College
expecting to become doctors,
lawyers, and writers, but many
shift their interest to business and
teaching by the time they're
seniors. That's one indication of
a Stanford Univ . study which
surveyed one in five graduating
seniors. Among 1981 graduates,
the proportion seeking business
careers grew from 17% to 29%;
those planning to teach jumped
to 10% from 5.7%,

claimed they shouldn't have to
pay for a math class taught by
two foreign-born grad students
with thick accents.
The accents, they said, made
it impossible to understand what

Notes From AH Over— At the
suggestion of a campus
newspaper columnist, a capacity
crowd in Duke University's
cafeteria hurled home fries,
mashed potatoes, spaghetti,
chicken nuggets and various
veggies. Officials claim the food

Computer-Assisted Grade
Tampering Makes Fake
Diploma Scams Obsolete — No
one knows the extent of elec-
tronic grade tampering, but Rep.
William Hughes, D-N.J.,
sponsor of a computer crime
measure passed by the last
Congress, says schools could
lose credibility if the problem
isn't documented.
A spokesman for the Los
Angeles County district at-
torney's office warned schools to
increase security measures to
avoid such recent incidents as
faked transcripts planted in the
Univ of Southern California's
computer, and the attempted
access to Stanford's computer by
a high school sophomore.
University of Maryland of-
ficials now have stopped
searching students as they
emerge from campus cafeterias,
figuring students have learned
not to steal silverware.
"We curtailed the stealing,"
reports Matthew Sheriff, director
of food services at the College
Park campus, where students
have lifted about 15.000 glasses
and 25.000 pieces of silverware
and stolen countless sandwiches
since fall term started.
"We wanted to make students
aware they couldn't take food
out." he explains.
The way he did it. however,
was to have campus officials
search students for food and
utensils as they left the
cafeterias.
"it's an invasion of my per-
sonal privacy," freshman Steve
Broadman told The Diamond-
back, the student newspaper,
after his bookbag was searched.
"From what I know about the
law, 1 think it's illegal."
The searches may be "on
shaky ground," agrees campus
legal aid director William
Salmond.
Most colleges figure students
will steal food and supplies
equivalent to three to seven
percent of sales, says Don
Jacobs, president-elect of the
National Association of College
and University Food Services.
And most control theft by
using computerized records to
monitor purchases and in-
ventories. Jacobs adds.
At the University of Penn-
sylvania, where Jacobs is dining
services director, computerized
records help "students know that
if they steal something, we'll find
out about it pretty quick," Jacobs
says.
But food and utensil theft is
getting to be so bad that schools
nationwide are relying less on
student honor codes and more
on stiff fines to control it, he
notes.
Jacobs questions whether
searches help, however, saying
they're inconsistent with college
efforts to get students to behave
like adults by treating them as
adults.
Maryland's Sheriff says the
policy permitting him to search
students' bags and packages has
been "on the books" for a long
time, but never instituted until
now.
Student Nancy Skinner thinks
the issue is more about food than
knives and forks.
"(Sheriff) didn't want people
taking out sandwiches and
apples" because a percentage of
their profit is from people who
pay for a meal plan and then
don't eat," Skinner says.
Two weeks ago. the
University of Texas announced
its food service was in debt
because too many students
actually were using their campus
meal tickets.
Sheriff says the problem at
Maryland was that the theft rate
had increased.
He has suspended the
searches because the theft
problem is "now under control."
"We curtailed the stealing. We
wanted to make students aware
they can't take food out." Sheriff
adds.
"I hope we don't have to do it
again. Sheriff said.
Skinner, The Diamondback's
assistant managing editor,
believes the "public outcry," not
the easing of theft, convinced
Sheriff to stop the searches.
"A lot of people were upset
about it," she says.

SUN Difficulties
Michele Williams
"Alot of the people of the S-
Un committee were my
friends— they could have told
me to shape-up, but instead they
decided to impeach me before I
even had a chance." Darryl
Kerkeslager, Suns ex-president,
said after his meeting with S-un
officers.
According to Junior Charlie
Sanders, who has been with S-
un from the very beginning of his
stay here at Longwood, the
situation has been building for
quite some time. "The idea was
brought up to me that we could
impeach our president," said
Sanders, "because we didn't feel
that he was living up to his job-
just little things at first; like not
coming to us until the problem
has already happened and there
was nothing to do about it and
letting his personal ideas get in
the way of things that we wanted
to do— things that would bring
more money into S-un, he
doesn't know how to talk to
agents, he didn't contact the
vice-president that he was
leaving for a week and just left
his girlfriend in charge, and the
list goes on. We still want him to
stay in Student Union to work
with the next president, whoever
it will be, to gain some ex-
perience and try to learn from
that. He said 'no' and hasn't
spoken to any of us since."
On Monday night, March 4,
S-un members decided that
Kerkeslager was not carrying out
his presidential duties. After
being told by senior S-un
member Charlie Sanders that he
was being impeached,
Kerkeslager refused to resign
until he saw the 260 student
signatures required for im-
peachment of any officer, in
addition to the student
signatures a 2/3 majority vote by
Sun officers was needed, and
after much deliberation the 2/3
majority was reached.
According to Sanders and
Chris Stott of the S-un com-
mittee, Kerkeslager was not at
every event, and "the events he
did attend he stayed for no more
than 20 minutes, and 1 always
ended up meeting the per-
formers myself," Sanders said.
"Not to mention," Sanders
added, "the fact that Darryl
never even worked with our
vice-president, Terri Rong. Terri
even told me he felt alienated at
times."
Kerkeslager, on the other
hand, said he felt cheated
because he took the position as a
favor to Sanders who en
CDuraged him to run. At
Kerkeslager meeting with
S-un he was oiiown the 260
Administration/ Faculty Salaries
Facu}t[; salaries
In keeping with other state school newspapers in Virginia and
across the nation, The Rotunda editorial board approved a n)otion to
print the salaries of Longwood's Administration and Faculty. Though
we wish to pass these figures on with as little editorial comment as
possible, it behooves us to note the vast difference in the salaries of
the administration on the upper hand and those of the facult]^ on the
lower. Though hardly surprising, these differences are most ap-
palling to us. In fact, they should indicate insult of grave magnitude
not only to faculty members but also to us as students. We ask that
you use these not as trivia, but that you question the fairness of a
system in which the main business of the College education is placed
low on the list of financial priorities.

New Site Selected For Archeology Field School Parking Policy Needs Change
By Eddie Hollander
A new site has been selected
for Longwood's Archeology
Field School for the summer of
1985. Located in Buckingham
County, the Morris Field Ar-
cheological Site was selected
from among eight potential sites
by Dr. James Jordan, Director
of the Archeology Field School.
Contributing to the selection,
said Jordan, in an interview last
week, were various indicators of
the site's potential including
surface evidence of projectile
points and pottery shards as well
as soil discoloration indicating an
area of prehistoric activity. "This
site has really got the green light
going for it," said Jordan.
In addition to the positive
indicators of the site's potential,
Jordan noted that possible
purchase of the land by the
Virginia Park System (Holiday
Lake State Park is within a mile
of the Morris Site) as well as
biannual plowing of the land
endanger the prehistoric artifacts
embedded there. "It doesn't look
like it has much of a chance of
surviving," he said.
The Archeology Field School
at Longwood began in the
summer of 1980 when Jordan
and Field School students ex-
cavated the Anna's Ridge Site, a
",S,(K)0-year-old hunting and
gathering basecamp," located
twenty miles east of the
Longwood campus. Work
continued on the Site until the
summer of 1982 when the Field
School excavated the Willis
Mountain Rockshelter Site, a
600-year-old cave located 17
miles north of campus. In the
second session of the 1982 Field
School, the Smith Taylor-
Mound Site, located one mile
from Longwood, was ex-
cavated. Work was continued at
the Smith-Taylor Site through
the summer of 1983, when
Virginia Governor Charles Robb
visited the excavation, and
1984. Over the three years of
excavation, artifacts as old as
900 years were unearthed at the
site.
The Morris Field Site, located
by 1983 LC graduate Cindy
Morris, begins to draw to a close
the circle around Farmville
which Jordan has kept in mind
when selecting sites for ex-
cavation "We're aiming for an
understanding of the prehistoric
activity in our area," he said.
Students may now enroll for
either session of Summer Field
School. All interested students
are invited to gather Wed-
nesday, April 3, from 6 to 6:30
p.m. in Hiner 206 for an in-
troductory meeting. Slides taken
at the Morris Site will be shown,
and surface artifacts found there
will be exhibited. In addition, 20
slides of last summer's ex-
cavation at the Smith-Taylor
Mound Site will be shown.

Morris site.
By Frank Raio
The parking situation at
Longwood College is in bad
shape and is not getting any
better. At times it is impossible to
find a single parking spot;
resident students are often
forced to park illegally in order to
get to class on time. The solution
to this problem is simple, it has
been employed by other schools
and will completely alleviate
Longwood's parking hassles.
Resident students should not be
permitted to bring cars with them
during their Freshman year.
The administration, which has
ample parking facilities, does not
like this obvious remedy. The
first and foremost fear is that
such a policy would put
Longwood at a disadvantage in
comparison with other schools in
the never-ending competition for
prospective students. This is a
valid concern, but may easily be
dealt with by allowing exceptions
to the rule. Exceptions could be
granted to students with special
needs. For example, freshmen
who need transportation for
work would be allowed a parking
permit. To insure that the new
parking policy does not lessen
the quality of applicants, ex-
ceptions could be granted to,
let's say, all freshmen who
graduated in the top twenty
percent of their high school
classes. If these exceptions are
stated in all literature that is
mailed out to prospective
students, the fear that parking
restrictions will reduce the
quality of applicants to
Longwood will be greatly
reduced.
An argument can be made
that limiting parking for fresh-
men will increase Longwood's
attractiveness to high school
seniors over a period of time.
High school guidance counselors
everywhere are informing their
advisees that Longwood is a
suitcase college (that's what I
was told). Surely this image is
more damaging to Longwood
than any parking restrictions
might be.
I submit that putting limitations

on freshman parking would be a
step in the right direction
towards decreasing the suitcase
college syndrome. If freshmen
could not bring their cars, they
would have no means of
transporting suitcases any great
distance. It would follow that if
these students were forced to
create weekend fun right here at
Longwood during their first year,
good habits would be developed
for subsequent years. A
reduction in the number of
students who migrate on
weekends would also lead to a
reduction in the number of
students who transfer from
Longwood in favor of more
weekend-oriented schools.
The administration is willing to
lose prospective students by
prohibiting off-campus housing
in order to promote "op-
portunities for personal growth,
development, and education"
that group residential living
provides. Does this develop-
ment and growth not occur on
weekends as well? Why does this
commitment to residential living
not extend to attempts to reduce
suitcase college syndrome'!' It
seems rather inconsistent.
The extra parking spaces
created by even an exception-
laden freshman parking policy
would greatly reduce the
number of tickets that are given
to students by police from both
the town of Farmville and
Longwood. We have been fined
thousands of dollars because of
this fouled-up parking situation.
The motley crew that is the
parking appeals committee has
little sympathy for our problem,
rejecting half of all cases which
were thought unjust enough to
be sent to them by our apathetic
student body.
The fact that the campus
police were recently granted
permission (by the parking
committee) to attach wheel
boots to autos which have three
unpaid tickets is another reason
to correct our parking system.
These boots render cars useless
and will be shaving buzzes
campus-wide in the very near
future.
The parking situation is only
going to get worse and unless
some more asphalt is put down,
restrictions on freshman parking
is necessary to the future of
Longwood College.
The Rotunda would
like to extend
apologies to the Sports
Information Office and
the Public Affairs
Office for our inability
to publish last week.
Thank you for your
patience.

Frat Beer & Sex Guide Upends Greeks
LC Raises Tuition
Page 9
University of Florida officials
have suspended a fraternity and
are likely to probe all the
fraternity "little sister" programs
on campus after one house
started selling a raunchy hand-
book to students.
The handbook names certain
female students, and recom-
mends how many beers it takes
to persuade them to engage in
sexual intercourse.
Put out by the Beta Theta Pi
house and offered for $2 a copy,
the book also outlines the sexua!
escapades of members.
The fraternity says the book
was intended as a joke, but
university administrators aren't
amused.
"Whether it was meant as a
joke or as a National Lampoon,
we don't find it funny." says
assistant student affairs Dean
Thomas Dougan.
"It is extremely inap-
propriate "
The booklet also calls some
students "sand niggers and
pointy heads," and makes anti-
scmitic references to others.
In a prepared statement, the
fraternity president said the
handbook is not an official
publication of and is not con-
doned by the fraternity.
The handbook is "in poor
taste," says Thomas Beyer of the
national Beta Theta Pi
organization.
National fraternity officials
can't recall seeing similar
handbooks at other schools.
But the head of a group
monitoring fraternity hazing
practices says she has been told
of "dozens and dozens" of
similar publications.
"I'm hearing more and more
of this type of thing," says Eileen
Stevens of Sayville, N. Y., who
founded the Committee to Halt
Useless College Killings after her
son was killed in a fraternity
initiation ritual.
But, Stevens says, this is the
first time one has been sold
publicly.
"In most cases, these things
never see the light of day
because the girls are em-
barrassed, the members don't
talk about it publicly and there is
a secretive shroud covering what
goes on at individual chapters,"
she says.
In this case, Florida
suspended Beta Theta Pi for the
remainder of 1985, and its "little
sister" program for an indefinite
period.
The university also may
review all such programs at the
school.
"Little sister" programs try to
involve female students in ac-
tivities of a fraternity. Most often
the females are not sorority
members.
But the Fraternity Executives
Association says "little sister"
programs are "not desirable"
because they distract members
from fraternity goals.
Stevens says the programs
frequently lead to coercion of
female members who do not do
what fraternity members ask of
them.
One UF "little sister" told the
student newspaper she is treated
like a maid.
Dean of Student Affairs James
Scott is to decide within the
week whether to launch the
campus-wide probe of "little
sister" groups.
Longwood's 1985-86 tuition
and fees for in-state residential
undergraduate students have
been increased by 4.3 percent
under a modified meal plan and
by 6.9 percent under the
traditional meal plan. The total
costs for the 1985-86 academic
year will be $4,574 and $4,686,
respectively.
For out-of-state students,
tutition and fees have been
raised by 2.6 percent under the
modified meal plan and by 4.6
percent for the standard meal
approach. The totals are $5,756
and $5,868. respectively.
Total costs for undergraduate
day students will increase from
$1,851 to$2, 018.
Tuition and fees for next year
were approved March 15 by the
executive committee of the
Board of Visitors, which was
acting on behalf of the full
Board For the first time,
residential Longwood students
will have a choice of eating 15
meals a week in the dining hall
or the standard 19 meals.
The 15-meal plan will cost
$112 less. The alternate plan
was instituted at the request of
students.
Tutition costs alone will be
same for both undergraduate
and graduate full-time students,
$1,218. This is a $102 reduction
for graduate students and
reflects the opinion of College
officials that the costs are equal
at Longwood for educating
undergraduate and graduate
students.
The Board's executive
committee also approved an
increase in the Nursery School
Fee, from $380 to $400 for the
complete session from Sep-
tember to April.

Player Of The Week
Sophomore designated hitter
Jeff Mayone helped Longwood's
baseball team win two of three
games last week and for his
performance, Mayone has been
chosen Longwood College
Player of the Week for the
period March 15-22. Player of
the Week is picked by the
Longwood Sports Information
Office.
Mayone, a graduate of Morris
Knolls High School, is hitting
.381 with 19 runs-batted-in and
a team high 5 homers to help
Longwood's baseball team get
off to a 13-2 start in the 1985
season.
"Jeff has given us some
outstanding extra-base hitting
and many RBI's during the early
season," said Lancer coach
Buddy Holding. "His per-
formance at the plate has helped
offset a slow start by our pitching
staff. He is developing into one
of the best hitters we have yet
had at Longwooci. He also
continues to work hard in
developing his overall skills."
Rain Silences Lancer Bats
Lacrosse Team Wins
Longwood's women's lacrosse
team benefitted from a balanced
scoring attack and solid defense
Wednesday afternoon and
defeated visiting Mary
Washington 12-9 in the season
opener. A Sunday game with
the University of North Carolina
club team was rained out.
On tap for this week are
games at Sweet Briar Tuesday
(4:00) and at home against
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College Thursday (4:30) .
Scoring for the Lady Lancers
in Wednesday's victory were:
Kim Rhodes with three goals,
and with two goals Mariana
Johnson, Rala Heinen, Ellen
Cykowski and Sue Goff. Teresa
Alvis had one.
"I was very pleased with our
opening game performance,"
said lacrosse coach Carolyn
Hodges. "We were able to do
some things offensively and the
defense looked a lot stronger
than 1 had thought it would."
Three days of wet weather
accomplished what 32 opposing
pitchers have failed to do thus far
in the 1985 season— silence
Longwood's booming bats.
The Lancers, who topped
Maryland Baltimore County
Wednesday 12-9, lost three
games to the weather Saturday
and Sunday as two contests with
Mount St. Mary's and one with
Shippensburg were postponed
because of wet conditions.
This week the 13-2 Lancers
are scheduled to host Maryland
Eastern Shore Tuesday and visit
King and Tusculum Saturday
and Sunday for a pair of
weekend doubleheaders.
Looming on the horizon is a trip
to Charlottesville to take on the
Virginia Cavaliers Tuesday,
April 2. Longwood took a hard-
earned 2-1 victory at UVA last
season.
Lancers Sport .359
Team Batting Average
When the Lancers pounded
three UMBO pitchers for 15 hits
and 12 runs Wednesday it
marked the 10th time in 15
games that the team has scored
10 or more runs this season.
Sporting the red-hot .359 team
batting average, Longwood has
now stretched to 89 its streak of
no-shutout games. The Lancers
haven't been blanked since the
end of the 1982 season .
Leading the assault in
Wednesday's victory was the
heart of the Lancer batting
order. Jeff Rohm, Jeff Mayone,
Allen Lawter and Kelvin Davis
the number three, four, five and
six hitters, accounted for 10 hits,
two homers, three doubles and
seven runs-batted-in.
Rohm. Davis and Mayone
had three hits apiece while
Lawter blasted a 3-run homer in
the fourth inning when the
Lancers took a commanding 11-
3 lead. Rohm, who had two
doubles, drove in a pair of runs
in the fourth with his first two-
bagger. He now has nine
doubles and a sizzling .489
batting average.
Davis Leadinq Hitter
Davis, a freshman who hits like a
senior, upped his batting
average to .513, tops on the
team. Mayone ripped his fifth
homer and upped his batting
average to .381 in the win over
UMBO. Mayone has 19 RBI's,
but trails Lawter who leads the
club with 23 and is hittinq .435.
Todd Ashby picked up the win
for Longwood with ninth inning
relief help from Tony Browning.
Ashby retired 18 of the 21
batters he faced from the third
through the eighth inning, but
ran out of gas in the ninth when
UMBC rallied for five runs.
Browning struck out the final
batter to end the game. Ashby is
3-1 for the year.
Browning extended his string
of innings wih no walks to 21 for
the season. The sophomore
righthander is 3-0 with a 3.00
earned run average, tops among
Longwood pitchers with 20 or
more innings of work.

Sociology Major Contributes To Hospice Organization
By Dierdre McKendry
Dane Bragg, a senior
Sociology major at Longwood,
is participating in the "Directed
Study in Hospice Organization
and Planning Program." This
study is aimed at enhancing aid
and comfort for the terminally ill
in the Farmville area.
Bragg, who is working with
Dr. Chet Ballard as his advisor,
feels that his background as a
Sociology major has proven
helpful and interesting regarding
his work with a hospice: "The
most useful thing I have learned
was from my 'Social Research'
course, which applies Sociology
more than theory." His
curriculum has also included
"Introduction to the Human
Services," and "Social
Problems" where the topic of the
hospice has been discussed.
Having decided to follow up on
his study of the hospice, Bragg is
participating in the Directed
Study program by working with
a hospice organization and
helping it to become a reality.
In the formation of the hospice
organization, Ballard will be
working with Bragg by having
meetings to facilitate the
development of the new service.
As board member of the
organization now being formed.
Ballard will make an effort to
dictate what the services of the
organization will be. He is
working at creating a structure
that will become the hospice as
well as informing people exactly
Artist of the Month
Sarah Kramer, a junior from
Williamsburg, is Longwood
College's Artist of the Month for
March.
Her winning work is an
illustration "obtained from a
photograph using a grid
method," she said. She used a
combination of acrylic paints and
markers and "flat shades of color
values to create a feeling of
abstraction."
Ms. Kramer received a $50
cash award, and her work is on
display in Longwood's Bedford
Art Building through the month
of March.
An art major with a con-
centration in graphic design, Ms.
Kramer hopes to continue her
studies in graduate school after
she receives her degree from
Longwood in 1986. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
P. Kramer of Williamsburg.

competition is open to all
students enrolled in art classes at

selected by members of the

what services will be offered .
Also assisting Bragg in the
hospice program is the Rev
Rogers Laudermilk, a
Longwood graduate who now
presides over a circuit of
churches in the Charlotte -Prince
Edward County area. He is
helping by acting as Chairman of
the Board of Directors for
Hospice and is looked to as the
leader of the organization.
Laudermilk makes sure meetings
are held to evaluate the stage of
development the hospice is in.
He then works with Bragg over
the telephone as both discuss
what needs to be done about this
development.
Bragg's work in the program
involves the study of other
hospices, including his visiting
two such services in the Rich-
mond area with Rev.
Laudermilk. He also has been in
contact with Southside Com-
munity Hospital because of their
training for volunteers of
"Hospice of Southside Virginia,
Inc." Bragg is involved in the
training program for volunteers
of this new hospice. In addition,
he is also working on a brochure
to let the people of Prince
Edward County know exactly
what a hospice is.
Even though the hospice for
the Prince Edward County area
(also serving six adjoining
counties) will not be in operation
for about six more months,
volunteers are already being
encouraged to participate. The
"New Horizons Hospice" is the
name which has been given to
this new organization.

THE ROTUNDA/ Tuesday, March 26, 1985
Grateful Dead Concerts: Spent Doin' Time.
Special to The Rotunda
By Phillip Tate
Style Magazine
Editorial Assistant
Last Thursday and Friday
nights, March 21 and 22. The
Grateful Dead began their
annual spring tour at the
Hampton Coliseum. From the
looks and sounds of things, their
swing up the east coast should
have devoted fans rejoicing and
begging for more.
Thursday night, however, the
band encountered some sound
problems that persisted (to a
lesser extent) into Friday night's
show. During the first two sets,
power was lost in several
speakers at different intervals.
The overall mix was somewhat
muddy, and the band seemed
unsure as a result. The opening
song— "Alabama Getaway"" —
saw the band in fine form, and
had the festive crowd on its feet
and cheering immediately. The
remainder of the set consisted of
more laid back selections such as
"Tennessee Jed" and "They
Love Each Other,"" which were
received with equal enthusiasm.
During the second set,
however, the band seemed to
have lost much of its fire:
possibly because of the technical
difficulties. Standards such as
"China Cat Sunflower." "I Know
You Rider,'" and "The Wheel"'

were tossed off without much
flare. During their traditional
presentation of improvisational
sound effects punctuated with an
off-the-cuff drum solo, boredom
settled in. Guitarist Jerry Garcia
and company seemed unable to
find an intriguing musical theme
to settle into. With the exception
of a bouncy version of Chuck
Berry's "Johnny B Goode"" and
the hypnotic "Wharf Rat."" it
appeared that the psychedelic
sextet had lost all interest in
keeping the night's festivities
afloat.
Fortunately. Friday night was
a different story. The sound
mixing had improved markedly,
although trouble continued with
keeping power going through a
few of the speakers. With the
opening of the funky "Feel Like
A Stranger," it was apparent that
the band meant business. The
Dead"s unique mixture of
country, jazz, folk, acid and hard
rock was delivered with a brisk
up-beat punch. Garcia was in
top flight with his melodically
flowing inventive guitar licks,
rising and falling with the
audience"s response and never
lapsing into repetition. Bassist
Phil Lesh. and drummers
Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman
provided snappy rhythm
throughout, while guitarist Bob
Weir matched Garcia's flowing
solos with clear counterpoint.
Keyboardist Brent Mydland kept
toes tapping with his wildly
careening solos. Highlights of
the evening included "Sugar
Magnolia," "Ship of Fools,"
"Cassady," "Don"t Ease Me In,"'
and "Terrapin Station.'"
The Grateful Dead has been a
functioning unit for well over 20
years and as such has a vast
repertoire of songs. Friday
evening's show contained no
songs done the previous night,
which is a welcome change from
the formula set by touring bands
that make up the overwhelming
majority of the music world.
They have the advantage of an
extremely loyal following that
attend concerts at every op-

Grad Admission Scores Decline
Students hoping to become
college teachers are scoring
lower on their grad school
entrance exams than other
students, a new study shows.
"The doctoral degree
programs are not attracting the
best and the brightest any
more," concludes Clifford
Adelman. who wrote the report
on the test scores for the
National Institute of Education.
His study found grad school
entrance exam scores have
declined nationwide since 1982.
particularly among liberal arts
students likely to become
teachers
Adelman believes the decline
indicates undergraduates in
disciplines such as history and
political science are more likely
to skip graduate school and go
directly into the job market or
professional programs such as
law.
"Students perceive that
academic life is not as attractive
as other lives," he says.
Although Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) test scores
have declined as a whole since
1962, the decline varies widely
among disciplines, Adelman
says.
Political science majors' scores
have dropped sharply, while
those of mathematics,
economics, chemistry and
engineering majors have held
steady or risen slightly.
Most grad schools use the
GRE as an admissions test. The
exam focuses on certain thought
patterns— such as deductive
reasoning and the use of
smybolic systems— that are more
common in some disciplines
than others.
But Adelman believes another
factor is that the brightest
political science majors are not
even taking the GRE test
because they're not going on to
grad school.
if true, the quality of teaching
in many academic disciplines is
in jeopardy, Adelman says.
"If we're not putting the
quality students into the pipeline
of academia now, we're going to
face a dismal situation in the
1990s," he predicts.
Adelman's report shows test
scores declined precipitously
from 1962 to 1970, only to
resume falling at a more
moderate clip around 1976.
Changes in test questions and
scoring methods may help
explain the declines, Adelman
says.
But changes in demographic
variables such as age, race or
gender — which are cited
frequently to explain the decline
of test scores in high school
students— don't influence GRE
test scores, Adelman says.
"Only in combination with
undergraduate niajors do these
variables begin to offer plausible
hypotheses of influence on test
score trends," he says.
When Students Become Criminals
(First in a Series)
ITEM: Twenty-three Penn
State U. students allegedly
participated in a campus
burglary ring, stealing computer
parts, appliances, food, and
other items worth over $6,000.
Authorities said the students
stole "for thrill and adventure."
ITEM; A U. of Illinois student
was indicted last spring in
connection with a shooting
spree. A local police SWAT
team spent seven hours trying to
arrest the student, who had
barricaded himself in his
apartment. He was also indicted
on theft and burglary charges.
ITEM: Sexual assault charges
against college students are
being filed with increasing
frequency.
ITEM: An Ohio State U.
student was convicted of passing
$300 in counterfeit bills in the
Columbus area. He was ordered
to make restitution, and put on
two years probation .
ITEM: Two U. of Texas
students were charged this fall
with committing a series of
robberies, reportedly to raise
money for college expenses.
One resigned the cheerleading
squad after his arrest.
Incidents such as these
prompt many to comment that
the Ivory Tower is not more —
that campuses are now merely
micro-cosms of society, com-
plete with their share of student
criminals.
But a random sample of
campus police chiefs, security
directors and judicial officers
reveals little consensus on the
idea. "It's a hotly debated issue.
\wre and elsewhere," says U. of
Delaware Director of Student
Life Timothy Brooks. "We've
certainly seen a significant rise in
cases going through the judicial
process hre, but it's hard to say
that's because crime is going
up.
One thing that stops Brooks
and others from making a
definitive statement on the issue
is a lack of statistics: The only
national crime report kept is the
FBI-Uniform Crime Report,
released annually. Although it
has included a separate report
on campus crime since 1980,
that report covers less than 20
percent of campuses nationally.
"It's the best measure— and the
worst, in a way," says Jerry
Hudson, past president of the
International Association of
Campus Law Enforcement
Administrators, and security
director at the U. of North
Caorlina-Charlotte. "Crime
patterns vary widely between
two-year campuses and four-
year residential schools, between
public and private schools,
between urban and rural
schools. It would take me a
month of Sundays to really
figure out the numbers involved,
but yes, 1 do feel that real crime
by students is up considerably."
Many campuses are ex-
periencing more frequent reports
made on campus crime now, but
that doesn't necessarily mean
more crime occurs, insist some
campus officials. "Beginning in
the latter '70s, schools began
revising their disciplinary codes,
making them stricter, with less
proceduralism," says Gary
Pavela of the U. of Maryland.
"Those new codes worked better
than the old systems, and in
spired more faith on the part of
faculty, administrators and
students to reports crimes."
Pavela believes that's one reason
his campus has seen a 15
percent increase in judicial cases
within the last year. Hudson
adds that growing
professionalism on the part of
campus police also produces
more reports: "We're stressing
crime awareness more, and that
means we're inviting people to
come to us with more
problems."
The U. of Delaware judicial
system handled 704 caes last
year, and 524 in the fall of 1984
alone, says Brooks. But he
believes that students, like
society at large, "are becoming
must less tolerant of inap-
propriate behavior," and more
likely to report their peers for
disruptive activity.
Attributing the increase in
crime to greater reporting
doesn't relieve universities and
colleges from dealing with the
problem of handling more
disciplinary cases, however.
That's a two-fold problem: It
involves protecting the campus
at large, and safeguarding the
rights of the accused. Also in
need of protection is the
reputation of the school, as no
campus wants to be known as a
high-crime area.
In coming issues, we'll
examine these problems and
look at: The new breed of
student conduct codes; the
Buckley Amendment vs. public
access to information; and
growing concern over violence
against minorities, women, and
liomosexuals

Now They See The Light
Pre-professional students of
yesteryear are signaling a
warning for today's career-
oriented collegians.
Executives, engineers,
barristers, medical profesionals
and even retirees are returning in
droves to colleges and
universities in pursuit of a liberal
education, according to Nancy
Musorafite of the Association of
American Colleges.
This growing trend's message
to today's pre-professinal
students is that, "Once they
study that narrow curriculum
they will have to go back to
school to get that enlightenment
that they missed," says
Musorafite. "We are hoping that
undergraduates will see this and
say, 'Hey, maybe we'd better
study this now.' "
In programs ranging from
William College's five-week
summer session to Brandeis U.'s
one-day literature seminars,
professionals from a wide variety
of fields are gathering to con
front subjects such as
Shakespeare, foreign policy,
and the effect of science on
society m an effor* * - iht tht^
stress-related problems of
boredom, burnout and tunnel
vision by rediscovering the
values and perspectives found in
the liberal arts.
Executives who attend the
Williams College program
"confront a whole new battery of
fields which shake up their
prejudices and previously
conceived orientations," says
Director Fred Greene "It is an
intellectually challening, and
often disturbing, experience for
them." Those attending include
executives from General Motors,
IBM, Mobile and Columbia
Pictures.
Musorafite sees this as a
powerfully growing trend,
noting, for example, that the U.
of Missouri St. Louis can't find
enough instructors to keep up
with demand for its program
teaching executives how to
write "The needs of non-
traditional students are
becoming clear to universities,"
she says. "Non-traditional
students are hungry for in-
tellectual stimulation and
creative outlets."

New Interim S.A. Director: On The IVIove
By Barrett Baker
Although he may only be
working for Longwood at his
current job of interim director of
Student Activities for the next
three months, Eric Seaman is
setting new precedents in
Student Activities that will be
difficult for future directors to
continue.
Seaman first came to
Longwood College after per-
sonal difficulties left him in need
of some quick cash, "After I
graduated from the University of
Delaware, I came to live with my
parents in Buckingham and
decided that I really liked far-
ming. In the process of trying to
turn my parent's farm into my
farm, I got in a big fight with my
dad and 1 needed a job really
quick. When I was going to the
University of Delaware, 1 used to
drive buses to work my way
through school and when a
position opened here, I took it."
Taking the job turned out to
be a smart move for Seaman by
giving him some close contact
with members of the ad-
ministration. "1 had talked to
Phyllis Mable and Gary
Groneweg of Admissions to try
and get an admissions job. I had
also been working with Barbara
Bishop of the Fine Arts Center
and had been talking with the
person who was interim director
before me. When she had to
leave they had an opening that
they just wanted to fill quickly
and I was available— so that's
how 1 got the job"
Unfortunately, Seaman
probably won't be around after
this semester. Ric Weibl, Phyllis
Mable and others are currently
looking for someone with a
Masters degree and six years'
experience to fill the position on
a permanent basis. Charlie
Sanders, a member of the
Student Union, strongly believes
that they should stick with what
they've got. "He is doing an
excellent job!" says Sanders.
"He called me into his office, laid
out all my events that 1 would
have to do; he had read the
contract, highlighted areas that
he wasn't sure of, went over
them with me, cleared things up,
told me exactly what he wanted
done, asked me if I had any
suggestion on how to do
things— just making sure, on a
weekly basis, that we were
getting done what we were
supposed to do— which is good.
I mean IB. Dent even did that
with us!"
Whether he stays on as
Activities Director or not.
Seaman still plans to stay in the
area. Inevitably, or as an end
result, he would like to buy a
farm somewhere in the area —
but he needs the money first, in
the meantime, aside from
working with S-UN, he is Dr.
Greenwood's chauffeur when
she needs to utilize her traveling
time to the best advantage. "It's
a unique situation," says
Seaman, "because if I have to
take her to Washington for
instance, 1 have a chance to talk
to her for six hours, or at least
part of that time, when it would
otherwise be impossible to get an
appointment with her."
As the interim director.

Longwood belongs to) that
books all the concerts in the
area. "There are a number of
schools in the state that are
affiliated with it," says Seaman.
"We are trying to get better
affiliated with all the other
facilities and all the other
directors. We are trying to get
better affiliated with all the other
facilities and all the other
Interim Student Activities Director Eric Seaman
Seaman's job for the remainder
of his term is to make sure that
the rest of the performances,
lectures, and mixers stay on
schedule and run smoothly.
However, Seaman is working
beyond that to try and start
innovative things for next Fall.
Currently, he is trying to get it
okayed with the Board of
Visitors to see if the students
would be willing to add an
additional $5 in student activities
fees for a super concert. "What a
super concert would be," says
Seaman, "is that once a
semester we would put on some
kind of large event— preferably
an outdoor thing with someone
like James Taylor or some kind
of major attraction."
Along with that, Seaman is
also trying to get a joint meeting
directors. We are trying to be
more aware of what's happening
on other campuses so that there
is better interaction between
schools." The purpose of doing
this would be to do what is called
cross-booking — if another
school has an event that we can't
afford to have, we can buy
blocks of tickets from them .
"Another thing that happens
when you do this is if a band has
an extra day of travel in between
shows, you can sometimes pick
them up for practically nothing if
we can get them to play during
the day so they won't have to
put up their lights— even large
bands like Chicago or something
along that line. Not only will this
set a precedent that the next
director will hopefully continue
to follow, but it should also really
open channels between all the
schools— and that can only help.
These things really haven't been
done here before."
Aside from trying to open a
path from all the other schools in
the state to Longwood, Seaman
is also trying to encourage a little
more school spirit among the
students themselves. For in-
stance, the horror movies that
were shown last week cost about
$125 each and on the first night
of showing, only 22 people
showed up to see it. "We're
trying to get more feedback from
the students with this because we
want them to be more aware of
what things cost and to make us
more aware of what they might
be interested in." In an effort to
draw more people to group
events. S-UN is working on a
deal with the snack bar to show
movies in the new lounge jo that
people could come down to see
the movies and bring food and
beer in from the snack bar.
"People are conditioned to come
to the snack bar now," says
Seaman. "There was a mixer in
the lower dining hall last week
and there were still about 250
people in the snack bar."
Seaman is also currently trying
to sponsor a donkey basketball
game featuring the fraternities of
Longwood against the frater-
nities of Hampden-Sydney with
representatives from Longwood
sororities also participating.
However, the weekend that the
event is scheduled for also
happens to be Greek week at
Hampden-Sydney and they
seem to be a little reluctant to
leave their campus at this point.
These are just a few ideas that
Seaman is trying to implement.
In just a few short weeks, Eric
Seaman has not only apparently
tried to increase the amount of
programs and generate more
enthusiasm for the students of
Longwood than many of the
past permanent directors ever
did, but he's also trying to bring
more attention to the Longwood
campus as a whole. Maybe we
should consider keeping him
around for a while longer.

International Studies program
By David S. Areford
"Our world is too small not to
know that other people exist.
And it is too easy to ignore the
fact that they do," says Dr. Jill
Kelly, expressing a feeling
among faculty members that
students at Longwood need to
be more aware of places and
people beyond Virginia and the
United States. Thus Dr. Kelly is
heading up a faculty committee
in charge of a new International
Studies Program, a program
similar to many being instituted
at other colleges and universities
around the country.
The new program will sup-
plement a student's major or
minor and will require the
completion of at least 36 credit
hours in courses which deal
substantially with societies other
than a student's own. The
program's courses are distributed
among Art, Drama, Literature.
Music. Philosophy, An-
thropology, Geography,
Government, History and
Foreign Language.
Students should realize that
many of these credits can be
earned by carefully selecting
courses required by one's major
and General Education
requirements. For some majors
this will only require the addition
of a few courses.
Dr. Kelly feels that the
program will help students select
General Education requirements
in a more organized way, giving
a focus to what is usually a
random sampling of unrelated
courses.
Next year's freshmen are not
the only target for the new
program but also rising
sophomores and juniors who
may have already taken some of
the courses that fit into the
program.
A list of these courses over the
past two years that apply will
soon be available. Also, each
rising sophomore and junior will
receive a brochure on the
program listing applicable
courses available next semester.
The program includes existing
courses some of which have
been reoriented. Also,
development of new courses is
being encouraged, and faculty
members are beginning to work
together to reinforce each other's
course content. Dr. Kelly hopes
ultimately that related courses
such as 19th Century European
Art, for example, will be offered
in the same year at least. Thus
courses would reinforce each
other, providing a more com-
plete picture of a society's many
aspects.
For students interested in
international studies, there will
be a variety of special events
including films, lectures, and
opportunities for foreign travel.
Dr. Kelly feels that an in-
ternational awareness is
necessary for an educated
person and an informed citizen.
This knowledge "works for world
peace and world economy
among other things," Dr. Kelly
says. "It will make it easier to
vote and we definitely know it
will make it easier to get a job."
The program will produce ar-
ticulate and knowledgeable
students who will be more at-
tractive to employers.
A long-range goal of the
program is to help make
Longwood more of a drawing
card. Dr. Kelly hopes "to attract
students who are more in-
terested in Longwood as a good
place to be. That it will become a
real preference. Longwood is
now one of a number of choices
for most students— we would
like it to be the number one
choice."
Longwood radio broadcasting again
By Mark Holland
Thanks to the initiative and
leadership of Sonny Merchant
Longwood once again has a
radio station after being silent for
more than one semester. WUTA
was able to get back on the air
after Merchant met with several
students and administrators and
worked out problems that had
beset the radio station in the
past.
"The first person that helped
us out was Barb Gorski,"
Merchant told The Rotunda, "I
told her what I was trying to do
and she offered to set up a
meeting of all the people that she
knew had been involved with it
in the past. We all sat down and
had the first meeting. That was a
real big help and really got the
ball rolling."
From there things did start
moving. Dr. John Peale and Dr.
Maria Silveria accepted the
positions of advisors and
organizational meetings were set
up and a constitution was
ratified. These persons were
elected to the following
positions: Merchant, President;
Mike Lundsguard, Station
Manager; Bruce Souza,
Business Manager; Chuck
Ebbits, Music Director; Sharon
Kaufman, Personnel Director;
Jamie Meoreness, Chief
Engineer; Rob Robertson, News
Director; Mark Holland, Public
Relations Director; Benji Smith,
Public Affairs Director; Ellery
Bradely and Eran Alexander,
Sports Director; Gustav Sallas,
Programming Director.
As programming director
Sallas is in charge of the
scheduling the D.J.'s and
arranging the play schedule. The
present format has a wide range
of music featuring everything
from country to new wave to
rock and roll to jazz. On the air
Broadsides announces last issue
Broadsides, Longwood's
expository and creative writing
journal, is currently accepting
entries for its April 22 issue. This
will be the last issue of Broad-
sides and the last chance for "all
creative and off-the-wall en-
deavors of persons interested in
winning $200.00," Dr. Craig.
Challendcr, Broadsides editor-
in-chief said. Dr. David James,
professor of philosophy, and Mr.
William C. Woods, The
Rotunda's spiritual advisor, are
assisting in the publication
process. The deadline for this
last issue is April 11.
Ihe literary journal is open to
all disciplines, and everything
will be considered. Entries
accepted include essays, short
stories, cartoons, photographs
and poetry. The purpose of the
journal is to highlight Longwood
students' talents in all areas of
study. "It is not meant to replace
the G^re or The Rotunda.
Challender said, "but to com-
plement it.'
The last three issues have
been "fairly successful,"
Challender said, "but I would
like to see more entries by
students— you don't have to be
an English major to enter."
Four cash prizes will be
awarded; one first place prize for
$200, and three honorable
mentions for $100.00 The
winners will be announced April
30.
from 2:00 in the afternoon until
2:00 in the morning Monday
through Friday and from 10:00
in the morning until 2:00 in the
morning Saturday and Sunday
WUTA has something for
everyone.
This year Merchant is mainly
concerned with getting on the air
and gaining somewhat of a
listening audience, but next year
he hopes to develop a true,
quality radio station. "I'm hoping
to expand programming, include
some more variety by using
special guest slots, like with
professors and speakers that
come to Longwood. If we get a
fairly famous comedian, like
Mark Weiner who was here
earlier this year, I would like to
get them up on the air for a little
while. We are working towards
gaining more respect from the
rest of the campus. In getting
people to listen to us because
they know that we are good."
Also part of the expansion
towards developing a quality
station is an improvement and
an updating of the station's
equipment. Chief Engineer
Meoreness made a trip to
Richmond last week and pur-
chased a new Denon cassette
deck and a Yamaha CD-X2
Compact Disc Player. As
Merchant explained, "We got a
discount on the actual discs for
buying the unit. We got a pretty
decent mix of music." The laser
disc player will also enable the
station to broaden its variety into
the area of opera of which there
are a great deal of discs
available.
For all those who are in-
terested in becoming involved
with WUTA there are staff
meetings every Wednesday
evening at 7:00 in Room 206.
There will not be a meeting this
week though.
National campus events
The Unique Hairstyles of
collegians seem to be a
traditional source of friction and
the 1980s are no different. The
Student Government President
at Syracuse U. says he was sent
home from his part-time catering
job because management
disliked his hairstyle which is
long in the front, short in the
back and marlboro red. The
student plans no legal action but
says he wants to expose the
discrimination.
Is Political Dissent Un-
American? An ad in the student
newspaper for a draft counseling
workshop::^t the U. of Iowa
prompted a U. S. Marine Corps
recruiting officer to call the
workshop organizers "a bunch of
Communists" and accused them
of "talk(ing) trash about Uncle
Sam." The ad stated that "Many
have found that the military is:
Not Excitement! Not Job
Training! Not Education! Not a
Good Deal!"
Volunteers Guard the
Chapel Door at Rutgers U
where St. Michael's Chapel is
providing sanctuary for
Salvadoran refugees Teams of
volunteers are poised to block
the possible entry of federal
officials seeking to deport
refugees. Over 3,000 students
have donated time or money to
the sanctuary.
Searches of Students have
Stopped at U. of Maryland
College Park cafeterias because
officials believe they have
curtailed the wave of theft during
which students lifted about
15,000 glasses, 25,000 pieces
of silverware and countless
sandwiches.
Latc-Night Entertainment
Drew a Big Crowd at the
Valparaiso U. student recreation
center. Sponsored by the
student union programming
board and billed as an All-
Nighter, the event featured a
series of entertainers, including
hypnotist Gil Eagles and
comedian Stephen Wright.
Military Recruitment is
Illegal on the Temple U.
campus, according to the
Philadelphia Human Relations
Commission which ruled that
because the military refuses to
hire homosexuals. Temple is
violating a city anti-dis-
crimination ordinance by the
recruiting. The ruling stems from
a 1982 lawsuit by two gay
students and is believed to set a
precedent for a similar suit
brought against the U. of
Pennsylvania in January by the
student group Lesbians and
Gays at Penn.

Box 1133
Dining Hall propriety reviewed
By Eric T. Houseknecht
While most of the student
body was enjoying the comforts
of home this weekend, those
who remained on campus were
treated to a rather bizarre floor
show Saturday evening in the
dining hall. Having viewed part
of the incident myself, 1 can only
describe what transpired as a
group tantrum, thrown by
several irate students and
sparked by an outspoken,
boisterous ringleader. A dining
hall employee trying to stifle the
ruckus was pelted with food by
onlookers who obviously
sympathized with the unruly
mob.
The instigator of the melee
continued to barrage the food
service employee with profane
verbal abuse even after being
asked to leave. He even went so
far as to express his dicontent
from outside of the confines of
Blackwell Dining Hall, forcing
ARA workers to call the campus
police, so that others could dine
undisturbed.
What prompted this infantile
display is more than likely
beyond the realm of my
imagination, so 1 won't even
venture a guess. What I do find
interesting concerning the entire
incident, are the underlying
attitudes indirectly expressed by
these brazen thugs. Most
predominantly, that discon-
tentment with the food or
services received justifies deviant
behavior; i.e., throwing of food
or leaving dishes and garbage on
tables. This Is not an attitude
unique to the impudent few who
openly displayed their
dissatisfaction on Saturday
night, but rather one that is
expressed on a daily basis by an
estimated 75 to 90 percent of the
student body who remain
steadfast in their refusal to bus
their tables.
The situation in the dining hall
has become deplorable, and
there is no one to blame but the
students themselves. The in-
credible mess left at the end of
each meal is an all too accurate
statement about the simian
manner in which students have
chosen to exist. That the student
body continually voices a desire
to be treated more like "adults"
by Longwood's administration,
can only be seen as a farcical,
hypocritical request, concurrent
with the barbaric mentality which
allows such conditions to persist.
Obviously, I am not the first to
express a concern about this
issue. A great deal of time and
space has been devoted to
efforts intended to make the
dining hall a better place. But no
one can teach the students
manners (obviously!). I cannot
believe that anyone is oblivious
to the more civiized dining habits
of the outside world. As 1 have
mentioned in previous articles,
those of you who continue to eat
jello with your fingers and leave
heaps of uneaten food in front of
you at meals will not be in wild
social demand.
Literally thousands of dollars
are spent each semester to make
amends for the slovenly habits of
the students. Apparently
students cannot make the
correlation between the money
lost from funding major clean-up
projects and the money which
could be spent on better food.
Are you all so obtuse that you
can't see what you're doing to
yourselves? 1 think not. The
problem is not one of stupidity,
but sheer ignorance, under the
twisted guise of social
disobedience.
if this commentary seems
harsh that's because it is in-
tended to be. Throughout the
year, 1 have attempted to
engender at least a smidgen of
social consciousness (through
admittedly more indirect and
intentionally cynical writings) to
our readers. 1 assure you that
this article can be no more jolting
to you, than the unconscionable
displays of immaturity in the
dining hall are to me. if you take
any pride at all, in yourselves as
civilized beings, you will let this
fiasco go on no longer.
To the Editor of The Rotunda:
I'm sure that most faculty
members share my appreciation
for the spirit behind the remarks
in The Rotunda of March 26
concerning the discrepancies
between salaries paid to
members of the administration
and to faculty members.
However, the effect of these
remarks is diminished by the
inaccuracy of the figures you
cite; most apparently, you seem
to have included merit pay
twice, at least for faculty
members, thereby inflating the
total salary figures. Mistakes like
this one are not only misleading;
they undermine readers' con-
fidence in any factual in-
formation you present.
Sincerely,
Dr. Martha E. Cook
Chair, Finance Committee
Longwood Chapter of
American Association of
University Professors
Editor's Note
Due to a lack of com-
munication between the
Business Office and The
Rotunda Staff, facult\; merit pa^;,
in certain instances, was added
twice to base rates. We apologize
for this problem, which we had
no knowledge of before the
article ran in our March 28 issue.
To the Editor,
We think that it is a real shame
that you must insult others to
boost your point of view. The
girls in the Miss Longwood
Pageant have worked very hard
to be on that stage. They can't
even send the newspaper home
because it has Miss Longwood
1986 portrayed as a cow.
As to your article, the judges
were qualified and fair. They
were not "slobbering, toothless
old men" as you described. Just
because you don't agree with the
pageant's ideals doesn't mean
you can exploit it one step
further by printing pictures of
cows on the cover. If this is your
idea of the Miss Longwood
Pageant, you can judge cows.
I'd like to know your standards
for handpicking Miss
Congeniality 1986. Are you
signifying that the contestants
are nothing but livestock?
We don't have halos, but we
do agree tha* the Miss
Longwood Pageant is a tradition
that should be looked at as a
celebrated event.

These are the letters of the
alphabet. When used properly
they can be arranged to form
words, sentences, and even
paragraphs which in turn,
convey ideas, which can be
deciphered by others who are
also familiar with this form of
communication.
By utilizing such a system, you
too can express ideas of your
own. The Rotunda encourages
such practices and indeed, will
even reward them by putting
them in print. Assuming you
have ideas of your own, we
invite you to write us a letter.
Our box number is 1133; just
put the letters on a piece of
paper, put the paper in an
envelope, and put those four
numbers after the word "Box".
Then all you need to do is drop
the envelope in the campus
mail.
In our continuing efforts to
promote such literary practices,
The Rotunda is sponsoring a
challenging contest of in-
tellectual pursuit. If you can
unscramble the twenty-six letters
or the alphabet seen above, and
put them in correct order, you
could win one of many valuable
prizes. Just put your answer to
this perplexing mystery puzzle in
the same envelope as your
letter.
Winners will be announced in
next week's issue.
To the Editor:
This time you have gone too
far! Your picture of my son
Ferdinand on the cover of the
last Rotunda has caused him
undue embarrassment and
humiliation. Although he may
not be the most masculine bull in
our pasture, your portrayal of
him first as a cow and second as
Miss Longwood 1986 was in-
sensitive and an abuse of vour
privilege as editor. He has been
the recipient of daily abuse from
all the other young cows and
bulls in the pasture and I am
growing concerned about his
health. I demand an apology
from you and 1 hope that in the
future you will think about the
feelings of others before you use
them as part of some "joke."
Angrily,
Millie the Cow

Baseball team on a roll
Senior Allen Lawter and
sophomore Jeff Mayone, who
are tied for the season homer
lead with seven each, have tied
the career mark for home runs
(16) set by John Sullivan last
season. Lawter leads the
Lancers in batting average
(.453), RBI's (39) and putouts
(122).
Friday against Virginia State it
was a pitcher's day as Rob Furth
and Tony Beverley had com-
pleted game shutouts against the
Trojans. Furth hurled a one-
hitter and fanned nine in the
opener and Beverley limited
Virginia State to three hits in the
S€Cgnd C9pt??t
Longwood's 14th ranked
baseball team shook off a
disappointing 3-2 loss at Virginia
last week and swept five games
in a row, upping its season
record to 21-4.
The Lancers bashed 10 home
runs while dispatching Ran-
dolph-Macon 16-8 Thursday,
Virginia State 9-0 and 10-0
Friday and St. Joseph's (Maine)
13-3 and 20-10 Saturday. This
week Longwood plays at Bowie
State Monday, at Virginia Tech
Wednesday, at Virginia State
Thursday and hosts King
College Saturday in a 1:00
doubieheader
WUTA90.1FM
Todd Thompson's two-run
double was the big hit in the first
game while Jeff Rohm and Jeff
Mayone had two-run homers in
the nightcap.
Longwood got its offense in
gear once again Saturday af-
ternoon to take a pair from
visiting St. Joseph's. Kelvin
Davis went 2-2 with 2 RBI's and
Todd Ashby hurled an eight-
hitter to pace the 13-3 opening
win.
In the second game
Longwood trailed 10-5 before
rallying for 15 runs in the last
three innings. The key hit was
Lawter's three-run double in the
fifth which put the Lancers on
top 13-10. Mayone, Tom Klatt
and Davis hit two-run homers for
the Lancers.
It was Scott Mills who picked
up the second game win in relief.

Spring Weekend A Hit
By Randy Copeland
Spring Weekend took off with
a bang Saturday as ARA/Slater
dining services sponsored a Chili
contest on Stubbs Mall. Many of
the fraternities, sororities, and
organizations on campus fought
in competition for the best chili.
The title was won by Delta
Sigma Pi, the business fraternity,
followed by Alpha Sigma Alpha
sorority and Alpha Chi Rho
finishing second and third,
respectively. One of the more
talked about recipes was from
the social fraternity, Delta Sigma
Phi, who came through with a
very spicy chili that demanded
accompaniment of one's favorite
beverage. An added feature to
the occasion was the mob of
purse carrying prospective
students who swarmed the
campus to sample a taste of
college life.
In the evening, the Student
Union was host to Washington's
DC/ 101 radio D.J. "The
Greaseman" and the Adam
Smasher Band. The band
played many of the newest rock
songs, while "The Greaseman"
did some stand-up comedy and
several "off color" jokes about
the college and Farmville in
general.
While everyone at the outdoor
mixer on Her Field seemed to
enjoy the entertainers, ap-
parently complaints from
townspeople forced the band to
shut down early. In response to
the complaints, "The
Greaseman" dedicated and sang
"Thank God I'm a Redneck" to
the nearby community. To end
the evening, the band distributed
DC/ 101 "Brew Caps" and T-
shirts. When asked about the
possibility of returning next year,
the band's lead guitarist replied,
"1 don't think so— we caught a
lot of crap from the cops."
Although Ms. Mable, who
monitored the S-UN cash box,
made the remark, "We'll
probably lose (money) on this",
some 1300 students seemed to
enjoy the festivities. The only
pleasant event left for the year is
graduation for some, and
summer vacation for others.
Regardless, Spring Weekend
was a success and an unusually
fun experience for everyone.
Keg Dispute Arouses Students
By Frank Raio
On Tuesday, April 9, the
Alcohol Task Force met, as
usual, to discuss the alcohol
situation at Longwood College.
The meeting last week,
however, was very different than
those in the past. The student
body had learned that the
committee was discussing the
possibility of outlawing kegs in
residence halls. As a result, the
Prince Edward Room meeting
site was packed full of students
who wanted to have some input
in the decision.
The student body became
aware of the danger to kegs
because of actions taken by the
Student Government
Association Executive Com-
mittee. Freshman class president
Mike Clements, a member of the
SGA Senate and the Alcohol
Task Force, informed the
student group of the fact that the
Task Force was considering
prohibiting kegs in dorms. The
Executive Committee then made
the decision to print and
Wolfe To Receive Dos Passos Prize
Longwood College has an-
nounced the award of the 1984
John Dos Passos Prize for
Literature to Tom Wolfe.
Wolfe is the author of 10
widely-acclaimed books on
modern American life, including
The Right Stuff, a study of the
American astronauts that was
the basis for the Oscar-winning
film.
The Dos Passos Prize, which
includes a $1,000 cash award
and a medal for high literary
achievement, will be presented
to Tom Wolfe on Wednesday,
April 17, at 8 p.m. in Wygal
Auditorium on the Longwood
campus. Following the award
ceremony, Wolfe will read from
his recent work. The ceremony
and reading are open to the
public at no charge.
Wolfe is the fifth writer to win
the Dos Passos Prize since its
founding at Longwood in 1980.
Other winners have included
novelists Doris Betts and Robert
Stone, who also served on the
jury that this year chose Wolfe
over such other nominees as t.
L. Doctorow and John McPhee.
The Dos Passos Prize com-
memorates the life and work of
John Dos Passos, author of USA
and peer and contemporary of
Faulkner, Hemingway, and
Fitzgerald. The recipient is
selected by an independent jury
"charged especially to seek out
American creative writers whose
work demonstrates an intense
and original exploration of
specifically American themes; an
experimental tone; or writing in
a wide variety of literary forms."
All of these qualities
characterize the work of Tom
Wolfe. With the publication of
The Kand\^ Colored Tangerine
Flake Streamline Babv in 1965,
Wolfe inaugurated a series of
volumes of brilliant reportage on
American life that continued
through The New Journalism
and The Painted Word, and
culminated in 1979 with The
Right Stuff.
Along the way, he has ex-
plored the lives of artists and
architects, radicals and
socialities, stock car drivers and
fighter pilots. His Electric Kool-
Aid Acid Test is widely con-
sidered the best account of
sixties counter-culture.
He has recently broadened his
range to include fiction, with his
first novel, The Bonfire of the
Vanities, currently being
published in Rolling Stone.
From the beginning Wolfe's
writing has, in the words of the
prize citation, displayed "a wide
range of subjects, a linguistic
inventiveness, and a skeptical
devotion to the most telling
details of our national life."
Wolfe is the nephew of the
late Frances Roberdeau Wolfe,
of Richmond, a Longwood
College alumna. By means of a
bequest to her alma mater, Miss
Wolfe established a scholarship
endowment that provides
funding for eight Longwood
Scholars.
distribute flyers to alarm students
into action. The flyers, combined
with announcements at fraternity
and sorority meetings,
precipitated the very large
student turnout. SGA President

arguments for continuing to

dinator.
Students discuss Keg plan with

Garth Wentzel said, "1 was
working the elections in the New
Smoker and went over to the
Prince Edward Room to see how
it was going; it was so full, 1
could not get in."
Although the meeting oc-
casionally took an ugly turn (at
times it seemed like a lynching

Barb Gorski), the students who

which one student called "the
largest gathering of students at
which there was not a keg,"

alcohol and the possible
solutions." Clements, who is

Genet's Balcony lo Run
The Balcony/, Jean Genet's
best-known play, will be
presented by the Longwood
Players on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
evenings, April 17-20, in Jar-
man Auditorium. Curtain time is
8 o'clock each night.
The play's action takes place
in a bizarre "house of illusion"
that caters to refined sensibilities
and peculiar tastes. Here men
from all walks of life don the garb
of their fantasies and act them
out: a man from the gas com-
pany wears the robe and mitre of
a bishop, another customer
becomes a flagellant judge, and
still another a victorious general.
These costumed diversions
take place while outside a
revolution rages which has
isolated their "house" from the
rest of the rebel-controlled city.
In a stunning series of
macabre, climatic scenes. Genet
presents his caustic view of man
and society.
Robert Brustcin, writing in
The New Republic, stated that
"The Balcony is probably the
most stunning subversive work
of literature to be created since
the writings of the famous
Marquis .. a major dramatic
achievement." The play was
written in 1956.
Dr. Patton Lock wood is
directing the play, Scenography
is by Moffatt Evans, and costume
design by Jerry Dagenhart.
Admission is free to
Longwood students with ID.,
and general admission to the
public is $3.50.

the cynic...
The Cynic, An appropriate head for this
newspaper column perhaps ... indeed The Rotunda is a
paper which has created more havoc, more outrage,
more interest with negative editorial comment than it
could have with countless reams of praise or college-
type news. I believe that cynicism has provided
motivation for students at times, though they may have
been motivated only to think. Frequently, that is a
positive, if rare, outcome in itself. Apathy at Longwood
is a steadfast occupation of students here, and we are
rarely moved to action unless we are truly outraged.
Threats to our drinking "privileges" provide a case-in-
point.
When students heard of the possibilities of losing
kegs-on-campus, they were put to action. Phone calls
were made, posters were printed, T-shirts appeared.
Longwood students came out to— gasp.'— voice their
opinions. And changes were made as views were heard;
the plan to remove kegs from campus is likely to be
thrown out— as is this very editorial.
Of course we defend our kegs! Let every man and
woman have their keg, I say! We come here not to
study, not to learn (are you kidding?); we come here to
drink, to take inversion bong hits, to celebrate
debauchery at its zenith. Let none among us deny it.
When the administration realizes this Final Truth, they
will take pride in our drinking! They will celebrate with
us; perhaps our esteemed President will be the first
Administration visionary. Perhaps she will be the first to
strap on those Empowering Inversion Boots! Yes! If we
are indeed the Commonwealth's Number One Beer-
Drinking School, let us rejoice! We can drink more! /
HAVE A DREAM
Perhaps I have been somewhat extreme; do I ask
too much? I fear the worst. We have already reached
our apex as rising drinkers... if two thousand students
can be cowed into changing their clothes for a day
because a lowly newspaper editor wanted a laugh or
two (among other, equally important reasons), they
must be drinking to their fullest capacities. If a student
newspaper staff can print a cow on the front page and
receive written response in the form of one letter from
four concerned students, Longwood students have
achieved the devout lethargy of strong drinkers. I
commend you. Go, then, and drink some more.
Allow me to break from this praise... I submit that
the cynicism of this editorial page has been extreme. It
also has been needed and will continue to be so.
Sometimes I really think it has motivated some change.
Mostly, though, I seriously doubt it. Supply and
demand perhaps, necessitates the cynic or... maybe...
well, you think about it.
I'm off to have a Scotch and Soda.

credited with the large student
turnout, went on to say, "I really
appreciated the attendance and
feel that such motivation by the
students is all that it will take for
us to have more input into
making campus policy."
Wentzel was also pleased, "I
think the turnout was great;
however, I wish people would
react this way to more important
issues such as academics,
student rights, the judicial
process and even elections."

Against Kegs in Dorms
•There is an alcohol problem at Longwood College. According to a
survey by a beer distributer, Longwood consumes more beer per
capita than any other college town in Virginia.
•Studies show that there is much pressure to "finish the keg" once
it is tapped. This pressure does not occur with six packs which can
be saved for another time.
•The Dean of Students office has been approached by students
who have voiced concern about kegs in residence halls and the
subsequent havoc that keg parties create.
•Kegs would be allowed in a few designated areas such as the
lower dining hall and the ABC room.
For Kegs in Dorms
•Students will find places off-campus to have kegs (the
Fairgrounds, Wilkes Lake, private homes of students), as they have
with grain alcohol. At least two accidents and one DWI have oc-
curred this year following such off-campus parties. More drunks
will be on the roads of Farmville. Deaths will result.
•Is the beer distributor survey (which credits Longwood with a high
dnnkmg rate) done on a regional basis and does it include Hamp-
den-Sydney and the citizens of Farmville?
•R.A.s, barely able to deal with the huge demands put upon them
already with unenforcible regulations, like visitation, will have yet
another burden put upon them. Just as illegal visitation occurs on a
large scale, illegal kegs will be rolling in back doors everywhere.
Instating unenforcible rules will lead to less adherence to the more
valid standing rules.
•The "No Keg Rule" discriminates against GDIs, who party in
smaller groups and will not be able to compete against large
organizations like Greeks and SUN for lower dining hall privileges.

Longwood Parking Blues
To the Editor:
I feci there is a great need to
bring a certain problem to the
attention of The Rotunda. The
wheel-locks have put many of us
in awkward situations. It seems
the campus police have found a
sure fire way to force us to pay
our tickets. As you have
probably guessed I was given a
dreaded wheel-lock. I know
you're thinking; If you paid your
bills you wouldn't have this
problem. This is where the
source of my problem is Last
semester I was given three
tickets. One ticket was for
parking in the circle of South
Tabb on a Thursday night. On
Friday morning the faculty was
minus one space in the circle, so
I was given a ticket. I deserved
that one. My next two tickets
were for inhibiting the visitor
space in Lancer parking lot. The
campus police have never had a
solid rule for parking in these
spaces. If you ask them and they
say no resident students can
park there, then ask them why,
since the situation has become
worse, they now allow parking in
this place for resident students.
Last week I paid $42 for parking
in a place that people have been
allowed to park in .
I went to the campus police.
They said that they could not
distribute these tickets in a day
because they might be put on
another call. So I decided to see
what was done in one week.
This would allow them plenty of
time to make their rounds. I
specifically watched a green
Ventura pontiac in the space that
I was given a ticket. One week
went by and the ventura sat in
Freedom of Choice Supported
To the Editor:
Last week The Rotunda
printed a passage concerning
Gay Awareness Week. The
Rotunda then asked the student
body to show their support of the
awareness week by wearing blue
jeans last Wednesday.
1 paid heed to both this
challenge, and I write to express
my ideas about Gay Awareness
Week. 1 interpreted the passage
thus: If you support the
awareness of homosexuality,
simply wear your Levi's on
Wednesday. I interpreted it
vertabin. Many did not. It seems
to be apparent that many people
thouqht that by wearinq blue
jeans, it was a statement of your
own sexual preference. It was
not. For me, choosing to wear
my jeans on that day last week
meant that I support Gay Rights
and the freedom of choice made
by some concerning their
sexuality.
Freedom of choice. Pro
choice. Where have you heard
that before? Abortion is also an
issue that is quite controversial in
today's society, so is the drinking
age. Aren't they choices also?
And the issue of Gay Rights, is it
moral to deny anyone rights? If
we are to deny the rights of
homosexuals, why not also
abolish the rights of Blacks,
women, the elderly and the
GROUND LEVEL
handicapped. Let's do away
with all the people that aren't
pleasing to our society. We can
create a perfect society in which
everyone has blond hair and
blue eyes. . .Doesn't that sound
familiar?
I would also like to state here
that I will not let anyone dictate
to me what kind of clothing I will
or will not wear, but 1 can't. I
wore my jeans when it would
have been very easy for me to
conform and not have worn
them. 1 did let that passage
influence my clothing choice,
obviously quite different from
the majority of the campus.
Blue jeans are a common
denominator of clothing, so to
speak. Everybody wears them,
usually. For those of you that
chose not to wear jeans last
Wednesday, I respect your
decision; as I hope you respect
my decision and that of a
handful of others to wear them. I
would like to ask you why you
went out of your way to dress
differently than you normally
do? Were you afraid of being
labeled, or ostrasized because of
it? Or did you think that by
wearing jeans you would be
thought gay yourself? Did you
think that you would be talked
about and whispered about
behind your back? Do you deny
a different side of life? If you
Wentzel Speaks Out
the same space ticketless. I was
enraged; I went to see the Dean
and Director of Student Ser-
vices. The Dean told me to pay
my bills and wouldn't offer any
more advice. The Director of
Student Services could not help
me but admitted that there was a
problem .
Would you please get some
answers for me. I know I'm not
the only one who has been done
wrong. I didn't want to pay these
tickets because people park
there now. Would you show me
where the campus police have
written down that policy on
spaces has changed? If they
don't have any answers then
Longwood College owes me 42
needed dollars.
Respectfully,
Jeffrey Kerr Fleming
have a positive reply to each of
the above questions, then I beg
you to discover your own
identify and search out what you
really believe in. Did you abstain
from denim because your friends
did? Or do you feel that
homosexuality is a sin and
something to be denied?
Maybe homosexuality is a sin,
but that is for God to decide.
You can't run and hide from the
undesirable. Also considered
sins by some people in our
society are drinking, taking
drugs, lying, cursing, and God
forbid- cheating. Please close
your eyes, because none of this
occurs at Longwood.
I ask you now, don't be afraid
to stand up and speak out for
ideas you believe in, or support,
for that is part of your in-
dividuality, your personal
uniqueness. Don't conform to
other's ideas and beliefs out of
peer pressure. Your friends are
not authorities on right and
wrong, neither is this article. This
is simply a culmination of my
thoughts and ideas, something
for you to think about the next
time you decide who is sinning
and who is not. One final
comment: let those among us
that are without sin, cast the first
stone.

To the Editor:
Just wanna say one word to
ya Jeff, conformity! Conformity
at Longwood seems to be at an
all time high.
Some people might think I am
a hypocrite because I happen to
be in the Army. However, we
call it uniformity in the service.
Uniformity is necessary in the
military because of the discipline
needed to survive and win in a
military engagement.
In the present day civilian
world we conform for different
reasons. Some conform to ads
on TV and in the papers and
magazines; others to how their
friends feel about them, and still
others to the many religious sects
we have in the world.
On April 10, 1985 The
Rotunda asked people who
support gays and Gay
Awareness Week to wear blue
jeans. 1 heard so many people
say they were not going to wear
them that I decided to wear them
just for the hell of it. The reaction
I got was terrific. Even though
my friends know I feel gays have
two basic rights, the right to pay
taxes, and the right to die. I must
have been called a queer 40 or
50 times.
Out of the nearly 3000
students who go here, I estimate
that only 20 or 30 students were
wearing jeans on Wednesday.
Those students whom I knew
were wearing blue jeans, were
wearing them to show their
individuality. The others might
have been off campus students
or they may have supported gay
rights.
I would like to ask the students
of Longwood to start thinking for
themselves. One must look at all
sides of an issue before making
judgment upon it. Oh, and by
the way Sidd Finch, the Mets
new pitcher was traded to the
Orioles for Cal Ripkin Jr., Eddie
Murray and future unnamed
draft picks.

Editor's Note: Garth, I am
heartened that our Student
Government President shows

To the Editor:
It seems the radio station is
finally able to start reaching their
goals. Their goals were to
develop a listening audience,
interview guest speakers, and
most of all gain respect campus-
wide. First they really need to
make some changes in their
advertising policy. Do them a big
favor, offer them a discount for
an ad in your paper. Maybe we
won't have so much graffiti
polluting the campus. Then they
might be able to gain campus-
wide respect.

THE ROTUNDA/Tuesday, April 16, 1985
Ethiopian Student Attending Longwood
By Kent Booty
Mulu Teferra was in his dorm
room when he first saw the
haunting images on television.
The pictures of starving
people in his native Ethiopia—
now so familiar to the world —
were a shocking revelation when
Teferra viewed them on an
evening news program last fall.
"I knew there was a drought in
Ethiopia," he said recently, "but
I didn't know how bad it was.
When 1 turned on the TV and
saw the news, I couldn't believe
it. I cried."
Teferra, a freshman chemistry
major, came to the United States
18 months ago. He lives with a
brother in Arlington. After
studying English at Georgetown
University for a year, he enrolled
at Longwood last fall.
The 20-year-old student, who
is here on a visa, was born and
reared in Tigray, a province in
northern Ethiopia. Tigray and
Eritrea, a neighboring province,
are among the areas hardest hit
by the drought which has
spurred an international relief
effort. Both provinces are
partially controlled by anti-
government rebels, and critics
charge that the Marxist
government is attempting to
starve its opponents there.
"The government controls the
cities but not the countryside,"
he said. "People in Addis Ababa *
(the capital) know less about the
famine than people in the United"
States do, because the news
media is controlled by the
government. I'm glad 1 came
here. Now 1 know how much the
American government and
people in this country have
helped Ethiopia."
The U.S. and European
nations also provided relief aid
when the east African nation
suffered a famine in 1973. That
famine killed about 100,000
people, toppled the longtime
government of Emperior Haile
Selassie, and led to the
establishment of a pro-Soviet
regime.
After attending school in his
hometown, Axum, through the
ninth grade, Teferra moved to
Addis Ababa and lived with
three of his brothers. During his
four-year stay, he finished high
school.
His father, a landowning
farmer, lost his land in the
revolution. Teferra receives
letters from his brothers in Addis
Ababa, but he has had no
contact with his other brothers
and sisters, who still live in
Tigray, since leaving Ethiopia.
He is from northern Tigray,
which hasn't suffered from the
drought as has the southern part
of the province and other
regions.
Although Ethiopia has
received the most attention, two
vast belts of drought have swept
across Africa, threatening the
people of as many as 30 nations.
For example, Chad and
Mozambique, which also are
embroiled in civil wars, are
suffering through a drought as
serious, if not more so, than
Ethiopia's. Africa's drought is
compounded by other
problems— civil war, growing
populations, abuse of the land,
mismanagement and corruption,
according to Newsweek
magazine. More than 150
million people on the continent
are threatened by starvation.
In Ethiopia, at least 300,000
have died, a million more people
may be at risk, and as many as
six million face food shortages.
More than 40 percent of the
nation's people are
malnourished and more than
two million have left their homes
in search of food. The relief
effort is hampered by the civil
war, a shortage of trucks, and
Mulu Teferra
the canyons and mountains that
dot the landscape. Half of
Ethopia's people live a two-day
walk from the nearest road.
"If the people had produced
more crops during the rainy
season, we wouldn't have this
famine," said Telferra. Since
more than 90 percent of the
people are engaged in
agriculture, there is nothing to
fall back on during times like this,
he added.
Critics claim that Ethiopia's
agricultural economy, which is
patterned after the Soviet
Union's state-run collective
farms, is inefficient and un-
productive.
Telfenra thinks a "longterm
solution." involving substantial
assistance from the U.S. and
Europe, is needed to develop
Africa's agriculture. "They
shouldn't help just when the
people are hungry, but also
before it happens." Still, he is
grateful to the U.S. government
and the organizations and
people who have provided
assistance.
The famine first attracted
headlines around the world last
October when the British
Broadcasting Corporation
televised and distributed film of
dying babies and corpses.
Overnight, foreign governments,
relief agencies and individuals
began sending money and
supplies. Fortunately, it has
rained in Ethiopia and a crop is
expected by May, according to
recent news accounts.
"Sometimes I feel guilty when
I eat my lunch or dinner," said
Telferra, who plans to become a
pharmacist or attend engineering
school. "I think, 'Why am I, an
Ethiopian, eating when they
have so little?' I know that I must
eat, but still, sometimes 1 feel
guilty."

In an effort to keep our
readers informed through the
most modern and up-to-date
methods the Rotunda staff
traveled to Columbia, South
Carolina this weekend, to attend
the Investigative Reporters and
Editors Conference, held at the

The conference featured
nationally renowned reporters
and editors lecturing on a diverse
range of pertinent journalistic
topics, including talks on Ethics,
Sources, Crime, Administrative
Injustice, and the Law. The
lectures were highlighted with
special guest lectures by Jim
Polk and Mike Grimm, both
Pulitzer prize winners.
Along with the members of
The Rotunda, other journalists
and future editors were also
present at the conference
representing various other
colleges and organizations
throughout the Southern United
States.

Journalism Conference Experience Recorded
N.B.C. I. RE.
Travel Loq
Conference
By Eric T. Houseknecht
and The Rotunda Staff
3 p.m. Friday, April 12,
1985: It's time to leave for South
Carolina and an exciting, in-
formative weekend of jour-
nalistic hob-nobbing with
Pulitzer Prize winners, television
newscasters, and professional
clowns. The guys are all huddled
around the state-car saying
"where's Lori?" (is that all they
can ever say?). After her arrival,
our sojourn commences and
with six of us in a Reliant-K, 1
can't help but be reminded that
I'm not feeling well, although for
the life of me I can't remember
what I did last night.
4 p.m.: We're out at Hamp-
den-Sydney now and I can't
quite figure out if our difficulty in
getting on the road lies in our
navigational shortcomings or our
affinity for tomato juice .
5:30 p.m.: Making uncanny
time (Pablo swears he's driving
55), we've just crossed into
North Carolina. The group
decides it's a good time to pull
over and familiarize ourselves
with local flora and fauna, in an
effort to relieve building internal
pressure.
7 p.m.: We're making an
unanticipated stop in Randolph
County as local tour director,
L W. Brumley, discussed with us
our journey, politely posed for
snapshots, and enhanced our
understanding of local traveling
customs.
9 p.m.: Rolling into Charlotte
after hours of non-stop bickering
over musical preferences, Frank
Sinatra blares from the tape deck
finally victorious over the
Grateful Dead and Rick
Springfield. The car stops but the
arguments keep on rolling, as
where to eat becomes the topic
of the next in a series of heated
debates. Those of us who didn't
wear cut-off shorts are vying for
the seafood buffet at the local
Marriott (which looks pretty
swanky after all the repeat
performances of Frito Pie in the
past two weeks). Unfortunately
we're out-numbered and are
forced to settle for burgers and
chili in a bar where the only thing
nastier than the restrooms are
the waitresses.
12 Midnight: We've arrived,
and not a moment too soon.
After spending the latter part of
an hour walking through
Charlotte and conversing with
the likes of Ronald, an aspiring
chemical engineer who plans to
defect to New Zealand (swear to
God), I can safely say that
Farmville doesn't have the
monopoly on weirdness that
most of you think it does.
I've just spent my last ninety
minutes crammed in a car
playing mental tic-tac-toe and
other intellectually taxing games
with various members of the
staff. Another tape of sixties
music has just recently been
replace by the upbeat Motown
sound of Smokey Robinson and
the Miracles. Mark Holland and
Mick Baker take turns dancing
on the hood of the car in front of
the lobby entrance to the
Carolina Inn. The bell-hops
don't seem to find us very
amusing and as our luggage is
unloaded, they continually turn
down the volume on the box. If
that isn't enough, they leave us
to park the car ourselves. Ap-
parently this is a hotel where
we're going to be held ac-
countable for our own actions.
What a disappointment.

no one seems to be in a par-
ticularly chipper mood after
staying up to all hours the night
before. 1 attempt to break up the
monotony of our somber
gathering by dropping a slice of
cantaloupe into my lap and
continually knocking my
silverware on the floor. Mr.
Holland now displays his
connoisseurly taste by devouring
his third banana of the trip and
pocketing a fourth for later
consumption. Fortunately, we
soon meet a professional clown
who hangs around us through
lunch and most of the afternoon
distracting most of the attention
from the antics of our staff. The
Conference is great, but I don't
think anything was discussed
that any of you would care
about.
The Way Back: This part of
Pages
the trip seems a lot like the way
there, only backwards.
We bypass
Charlotte this time and opt to eat
at Wendy's where the extensive,
cosmopolitan menu (not just
burgers but chicken sandwiches
too) inspires us to new in-
tellectual heights and triggers a
countless string of "I'm Thinking
of an Animal" games. Frank
Raio remains steadfast in his
devotion to cynicism. Pablo's
driving is equally consistent In its
eraticism. Lori Foster is foolish
enough to think we'll let her
sleep but only for a moment.
Eventually the K-car stops and
we're back at Longwood where
we started. All had survived the
rigors of the road and we
returned with many new stories
to tell. In the immortal words of
my good friend Dr. Root, "It
may have been a once-in-a-
lifetime experience, but we'll
probably never do it again."

Super Dance Fights M.D
Some Longwood College
students danced around the
clock, literally, to raise money in
the fight against muscular
dystrophy.
Longwood's annual "Super
Dance," which lasted for 24
hours on March 29-30, raised
slightly more than $2,100, said
Fred Grant, who coordinated
the event. The money will go to
the Muscular Dystrophy
Association .

This was the longest Super
Dance ever held at Longwood,
Grant said. None of the previous
events had lasted as long as 24

The most difficult stretch was

around, my legs felt like they
were going to fall off," said Jim
Winkler, a junior from Farmville.
"I was ready to fall asleep. But
when the sun came up, it wasn't
so bad— until the last four hours.
They were a killer."
"But it was for a good cause,"
added Winkler, who lasted the
entire 24 hours. "I would do it all
over again— just not this
month."
Theresa Woods, a senior from
Alexandria, raised the most
money in pledges, $280. Next
year's Super Dance will again be
24 hours, said Grant.

tied for first place in the Virginia
Powerlifting State meet for
women.
The meet, held March 30-31
at George Mason University in

pounds, squat lifted 280
pounds, and dead lifted 305
pounds, for a total of 760
pounds. She tied for first place in
her weight class.
Grassi, 21, is majoring in
physical education and is in the
fitness specialist program. A
former sports participant, she
began weightlifting nearly two
years ago, at the advice of her

Mills
Near
Perfect
Junior pitcher Scott Mills fired
a no-hitter at Bowie State last
Monday and turned in two
additional effective appearances
for the Longwood baseball team
last week.
For his showing. Mills has
been picked as Longwood
College Plainer of the Week for
the period April 5-12. Player of
the Week is chosen by the
Longwood Sports Information
Office.
Mills allowed no hits and
walked just one while shutting
out Bowie State Monday in a 15-
0 Longwood victory. The
righthanded struck out six and
faced just 15 batters. He also
pitched effectively in losses to
Virginia Tech Wednesday and
King College Saturday.
Now 6-3 with an earned run
average of 3.49, Mills is already
the third winningest pitcher in
Longwood history with a career
record of 17-11. This season the
Hermitage High School
graduate leads Longwood in
wins (6), innings pitched (51.6),
appearances (11), complete
games (4) and strikeouts (38) .

Baseball Team Rolls Softball Team in Trouble
Longwood's 18th ranked
baseball team won five of eight
games last week to up its overall
record to 26-7 and this week the
Lancers will host Division I's
Virginia Commonwealth and
Radford.
VCU visits Lancer field for a
3:00 contest Wednesday af-
ternoon while Radford will play a
twin bill in Farmville Thursday
starting at 1:00. Longwood visits
Maryland Baltimore County for
a pair of games Sunday and is
slated to host Hampden-Sydney
next Monday (April 22) .
The Lancers split a twin bill
with NAIA power King College
Saturday, winning the opener 1-
0 but falling in the nightcap 7-5.
Sunday afternoon in Ashland,
Randolph-Macon stunned the
Lancers with a 7-4 defeat, the
first time this season that
Longwood has lost two games in
a row.
The Jackets collected 13 hits
and got to Lancer pitcher Tony
Browning for five runs in the fifth
and two in the sixth, Jeff
Mayone went 3-4 with an RBI
and Marty Ford had two hits and
two RBl's to pace Longwood's
10-hit attack.
Sophomore pitcher Rob Furth
scattered seven hits and shut-out
King in the opening contest
Saturday afternoon. Ford drove
in Dennis Leftwick with the
winning run on a sacrifice fly in
the third inning.
In the nightcap five Lancer
errors helped King score three
unearned runs, wasting a fine
pitching performance by Scott
Mills who relieved starter Todd
Ashby.
Rohn, Mayone Join
Record Holders
Sophomores Jeff Rohm and
Jeff Mayone put their names in
the record-book last week.
Mayone clouted his eighth
homer of the season in a 10-8
loss at Virginia Tech Wed-
nesday, giving him 17 career
homers in two years. Mayone
bettered the record (16) set by
Ail-American John Sullivan l§st
season and tied by Mayone and
Allen Lawter.
Lawter, who has seven
homers, leads Longwood in
batting (.435), RBI's (44), walks
(26), putouts (155) and fielding
percentage (.983).
Rohm tied the record for
doubles in a season (15) held by
Sonny Bolton (1982) and Larry
Cromer (1979). The sophomore
catcher is hitting .406 with a
team high 41 hits and 34 RBI's.
Mayone, who is htting .367, has
driven in 38 runs.
Lancer Notes
—Ford and Leftwich are
having quite a battle for the team
leadership in stolen bases. Ford,
who is hitting .367, leads the
Lancers in at-bats (106) and runs
(49) . He has stolen 39 bases in
40 attempts. Leftwich is hitting
.360 with 39 steals in 43 at-
tempts.
—Furth and freshman pitcher
Tony Beverley are having a
close contest for the lead in
earned run average. Furth (4-1)
has an ERA of 1.26 in 35.6
innings pitched, while Beverley
(3-1) is even better with a 1.25
ERA in 21.6 innings.
—Furth turned in the top
pitching of his career while

Wolfe Accepts
Dos Passos Prize
Tom Wolfe accepted
Longwood College's John Dos
Passos Prize for Literature
recently after delighting an
audience with a reading from his
new novel, The Bonfire of the
Vanities.
Wolfe, a Virginia-born writer
who has chronicled American
popular culture since the mid-
1960s, accepted the award in a
ceremony April 17 in Wygal
Auditorium. The award, which
has been given annually since
1980, includes a $1,000 cash
prize and a medal.
A 54-year-old native of
Richmond, Wolfe has been a
leader of the so-called New
Journalism, which blends the
creativity of fiction -writing with
standard reporting. Among his
best-known works are Electric
KoolAid Acid Test and The
Right Stuff. William F. Buckley
once wrote that Wolfe is
"probably the most skillful writer
in America."
Wolfe — who wore his
trademark white double-
breasted jacket, white slacks and
white shoes— read from the first
installment of The Bonfire of the
Vanities, which is being
published serially in Rolling
Stone. The novel, Wolfe's first,
is about life in New York City,
with the major characters
coming from diverse back-
grounds. Some 21 chapters
have been published so far.
The segment that Wolfe read
contains a humorous vignette
about a successful writer who
takes his dog for a walk one
evening so he can phone his
mistress. Accidentally, he calls
home and his wife recognizes his
voice, prompting suspicion.
There is also a struggling
prosecutor in the Bronx who, to
fend off would-be muggers on
the subway, dresses like a seedy
"D-train lunatic" on the way to
work.
Serial novels, or those
published in regular Installments,
were popular in mid and late
19th-century England, begin-
ning with The Pickwick Papers
by Charles Dickens. "Dickens
became an overnight success
because of The Pickwick Papers.
Before that, he had been an
obscure journalist," said Dr.
Michael Lund, associate
professor of English at
Longwood. Almost all future
novels by Dickens were
published serially, cither by
themselves or in magazines.
Dr. Lund, an authority on
serial novels, hopes that The
Bonfire of the Vanities will lead
to a resurgence of this literary
genre. After writing a letter to
cyclopedia. He is a graduate of
Washington and Lee University
and has a Ph.D. in American
studies from Yale University.
One Longwood student.
Donna Breckenridge of Farm-
ville, plans to write a master's
thesis in English, pending ap-
proval, that analyzes Wolfe's
Author Tom Wolfe reading from
Vanities.
Wolfe last summer, he received
a reply in which Wolfe said,
"Writing one of these things is
like trying to clamber up the back
of a truck that's already going 15
miles per hour. You don't know
if you're heading down the road
or head-first into the dust. Wish
me luck."
A former newspaper and
magazine reporter, Thomas
Kennerly Wolfe Jr. is known for
his "lively rhetoric and amusing
observations of American social
life... As a contributor to
Esquire, he established a type of
journalism that is characterized
by the flagrant use of fictional
devices to present intentionally
colored facts," according to
Academic American En-
his new work. The Bonfire of
new novel, which Dr. Lund
called "the only living serial
novel." She attended the
reading and spoke with Wolfe at
a reception later in the Alumni
House.
"I asked him how It would
end," said Mrs. Breckenridge,
who has read the novel from the
beginning. "He said, 'Look for a
happy ending.' But he added,
'Remember that happy endings
are sometimes sad'."
The Bonfire of the Vanities is
Wolfe's first major-length work
since The Right Stuff, which,
coincidentally, grew out of -a
series of articles in Rolling Stone
in 1973. It is scheduled to end in
mid-summer.
Dorm Fire Brings
Safety Questions
By Mark Holland
"You only lose when you play
with fire; it's not a game."
It is ironic that this bulletin
board message should be
displayed inside the Cun-
ningham complex. On the first
floor of Main Cunningham, one
of the extinguisher is empty, the
other, last checked on the 19th
of November, needs a safety pin
along with its overdue recharge.
On the second floor of South
Cunningham, there is only one
fire extinguisher. In the entire
Cunningham complex there are
only four fire extinguishers at the
acceptable 100% level.
The problem was evident on
Friday night. This situation was
never more evident than on
Friday night when a room on the
first floor of South Cunningham
caught on fire. According to
Doug Samuels, the R.E.C. on
duty that weekend, the 10:30
blaze was apparently touched off
by a stray cigarette butt that fell
onto the window ledge and
caught the shade on fire.
The flame then spread into the
room and caught an 8' x 4' wall-
hanging on fire. By the time the
first students entered the room it
was filled with smoke and the
flames were licking up the walls.
The first fire extinguisher could
barely manage a stream. It did
more to soak the bed than
dampen the flames. Another
extinguisher produced a stream
more like that of a garden hose.
When the wall-hanging fell
behind the bed, the situation
worsened. Only one ex-
tinguisher was in proper working
order. Longwood officials are
investigating the incident.
Schools Update Dorms
For college students, access to
cable television, automated
banking machines and an oc-
casional lobster dinner or late
night pizza used to mean having
to go off campus.
Not anymore.
Thanks to administrators'
worries about attracting students
to their dorms and intensifying
competition for rents with off-
campus apartment complexes,
an increasing number of schools
are offering a smorgasboard of
once-unheard-of amenities for
next fall.
At the University of North
Dakota, some dorms have
weight rooms and saunas.
At Eastern Michigan
University, some on -campus
residents have access to com-
puter rooms in their dormitories,
and are offered 12-month
leases.
At the University of
Oklahoma, free cable television
in dormitory lounges, a pizza bar
and an automated banking
machine are in the works for
next fall.
The school also has hired a
new food service director and
given free reign to plan what
administrations call "monotony
breakers," such as lobster
dinners.
"Try as we might, there re
some areas in which we just
cannot compete with apartment
complex owners," say OU
assistant housing director Craig
Pulliam.
"But there is an awful lot we
can do."
Dormitory residents are not
pampered at every school. Many
institutions still face perennial
dormitory over-crowding,
particularly at the beginning of
the school year.
"It's sporadic across the
country," says Jim Grimm,
housing director at the University
of Florida and president of a
national housing officers group.
Grimm estimates that between
20 and 25 percent of the nation's
colleges now have a hard time
filling their dorms.
Some schools — Oklahoma
and the Superior and Oshkosh
campuses of the University of
Wisconsin among them— are
being forced to close dor-
mitories.
But the schools still have to
pay of mortgages on closed
dorms, so, to avoid similar fates,
most vacant dorms are turning
increasingly to more aggressive
marketing.
And some schools that are still
full are offering students more to
stay on campus, if only to keep

Commentary
Your Turn
By Eric T. Houseknecht
Last Wednesday evening,
April 7, saw the first of what is
hoped to become a yearly
tradition of Academic Awards
Banquets. Held in Blackwell
Dining Hall and catered by
A.R.A., the event lasted just
under two hours and saw many
of Longwood's academic
achievers honored .
Unlike those of past years, this
year's ceremony was limited to
awards strictly academic. While
several student groups have
expressed discontent over the
elimination of non-academic
awards from the annual
proceedings it's probably safe to
say that the semi-formal, dinner
style presentation was a much
more tolerable format for most
students than the afternoon-long
auditorium events of previous
years.
The ceremony opened with
short speeches by Dr. Vail, Dr.
Greenwood, and the recently
named V. P. for Academic
Affairs 1985-86, Dr. James
Adams.
The actual presentation of
awards lasted less than an hour
as preliminary comments and
prefacing remarks were kept
short and concise. Most of what
transpired was no big surprise
but, as always, there were a
couple of sleepers who came
into their own as the fateful
envelopes were opened. Un-
suspecting winners included
senior Steve Badtke (John R.
Clark Math Education Award),
Freshman Bobby J. Omdorff (H.
R. Blackwell Scholarship), and
yours truly as one of the select
few to receive the coveted Who's
Who In American Colleges and
Universities certificate.
The food was great and
everyone who didn't receive an
invitation had to eat on Wheeler
Mall. It was, undoubtedly, a
special evening for those whose
academic achievements allowed
them to be there and hopefully
created some incentive for those
whose didn't.
SGA Election Procedures
Petitions are available in the Information office and

Gay Awareness Supported
To the editor:
I am writing in response to
student reaction on April 10.
Last week The Rotunda staff
asked Longwood students to
wear jeans in support of Gay
Awareness Week or in other
words, education regarding
homosexuals. This simply
means that you support learning
more on a subject that most of us
know little about.
By supporting education you
are neither condemning or
condoning the lifestyle.
On April 10, 1 saw fewer jeans
worn than on any day since I've
been here. It's sad to think that in
1985 there is a college
population who rejects
education, or worse, that there
exists a population who cannot
read and comprehend well
enough to know what support of
an awareness week means!
Sincerely,
Gretchen Young
Chili Reception
To the editor:
In response to the article on
Spring Weekend in the April
16th issue, we would like to
inform you of an error. The first
place winner of the Chili Cook
Off was Alpha Pi Omega,
National Service Fraternity. It
was not Delta Sigma Pi. In the
future, your information should
be checked before it is put in
print.
Alpha Pi Omega
In The Limelight
To the editor:
As a careful reader of your
publication, I get tired of seeing
the same old faces in every
issue. It is not that I dislike them,
but variety should be used.
Other people and other subjects
could be photographed. I don't
care whether Eric, Frank, or
Mick are showing the lastest
fashions, mellowing out in the
construction sight of the new
snack bar, or looking happy at a
journalism convention. Now that
they are known on sight as self-
made campus stars, could you
please take pictures of
something else?
The Critic
To "The Critic",
Admitted/y, \;ou are "a careful
reader" (so astute of ^/ou to
recognize us in all of those
pictures), but a genius \^ou are
not. Does anyone complain
about Ronald Reagan being on
the front page of the N. Y. Times
four da\>s a week or Brook
Shields making it into ever\;
other issue of The Star?
Celebrities like us are constantl]^
hounded by photographers and
reporters from hundreds of
national and international
publications. Your lack of
compassion for those who lead
such harrowed lifestyles is
typical of the ignorance
displayed by today's unfeeling
public.
If you want some variety, try
this one on for size: Here's me
last fall trying to enjoy an
evening of privacy at a sorority
social function.
Unwillingly yours,
Eric T. Houseknecht

The Balcony Reviewed
By Randy Copeland
In their final play of the
semester, The Longwood
Players and Department of
Speech and Theater presented
The Balcony, a play by Jean
Genet. The production is set in a
brothel that specializes in fantasy
to satisfy customers, while it
protects them from reality of the
revolution that surrounds the
house.
The first act introduces a
"John" who has a great desire to
become a bishop, but only
achieves his fantasy by wearing a
costume and elevated shoes to
feel power. The bishop looks at
the mirror on the wall to verify to
himself the powerful position he
has assumed. Following this
scene a judge is similarly dressed
up to decide a verdict against his
"mistress" and achieve an equal
feeling of importance. He, also,
uses a mirror to view himself in
the fantasy role he has taken.
Next, another customer is clad in
military gear, complete with
medals and elevated shoes, to
force his girl to act as his horse
and tell him of his great heroism
as a general.
The madame of the brothel,
Irma (Becky Etzler), is a forceful
and powerful business woman
who does whatever is necessary
to please her customers and
satisfy their desires. Eventually,
Irma, the bishop, the judge, and
the general are all adopted to
replace the queen and her court,
thus realizing their personal
fantasies. This, of course,
making a long story short,
however, in a play of this length
and depth, it would be im-
possible to go into details,
however, the irony and in-
dividual struggles by the
characters was powerful and
attempted to make the audience
realize that everyone wants to
see themselves as a grand
illusion instead of what we may
actually be.
As for the performance, the
acting was generally superb, but
occasionally overdone. Etzler,
who had over 700 lines, was
very successful in portraying a
every bitchy Irma. She made
very appropriate smirk or glance
that made her a most convincing
character. Glenn A. Gilmer (the
bishop) seemed to flicker bet-
ween accents a bit too often , but
was very funny, and similar to a
television evangelist. Curt
Walker (the judge) pressed his
character a bit too much in the
early scenes, but later relaxed to
make a very plausible and
entertaining performance . Jeff
Fleming (the general) was very
comfortable with his character
and managed to transform from
a nervous "John" to a heroic
leader with great ease. Jerry
Dagenhart, who played the
Chief of Police of the bcseiged
city, was a less heroic Indiana
Jones, who seemed to lack
originality in his part. Despite
this, his voice was very strong
and his acting is highly com-
mendable. Sam St. Phard
(Arther) is very funny in his
performance and Anna Prow
(thief) also is humorous when
she teases with the judge.
Michele Watson (Dove) is
flawless in her dealings with the
general while exhibiting courage
by wearing a very risque
costume. Mark Holland (the
tramp) and Ashby Conway (the
redhead) were most successful in
presenting their episode with the
most action compared to the
least words. Their movements
and activities were very easily
interpreted to exhibit the ap-
prehension felt by visitors to the
house.
Toby Embert added a
cynical side as the court envoy,
and he was as easily despised as
J.R. Ewing or Alexis Carrington.
Joyce Rollandini (Carmen),
Vince Decker (the rebel leader) ,
and Connie Watkins (Chantal),
all gave strong, steady per-
formances and were very en-
joyable. The entire cast and crew
should be congratulated for an
excellent production with a very
attractive, sturdy set.
Sociology Conference

Presidential Assistant Named
Meredith Strohm, director of
student services at Longwood
College, has been appointed
assistant to the president at
Longwood .
She succeeds Sarah Kennedy,
who is returning to full-time
doctoral study at William and
Mary and a teaching position at
St. Leo College.
The position has been
changed from "intern" status to a
regular staff appointment.
Strohm came to Longwood in
July, 1983 from the University
of Maryland, where she was
working on her doctorate and
serving on the faculty associate
staff. She has an M.S. degree in
College Student Personnel
Administration from Indiana
University and a B.A. in
sociology from Miami University
of Ohio.
In addition to her work in
student development at
Longwood, Strohm is teaching a
course in social work and co-
directing the Faculty and
Curriculum Development
Project on integrating women's
studies throughout the
curriculum. She and Dr. Chester
C. Ballard, assistant professor of
sociology, are conducting the
project under a grant from the
Duke/University of North
Carolina Regional Women's
Studies Center.
Strohm, 33, has written four
articles for professional journals
and presented papers at
numerous conferences and
workshops. She was selected to
participate in a series of Moral
Development Institutes at
Harvard University last January.
She will give the keynote ad-
dress at a regional conference of
the National Association for
Student Personnel Ad-
ministrators in June. Her
remarks will focus on student
development and the mission of
undergraduate education.
Tech
Requiring
P. C.
In following the example set
by the Virginia Tech School of
Engineering which requires
incoming freshmen to purchase
IBM personal computers, all
Freshmen entering Tech's
computer science department
next Fall will be required to
purchase Apple Macintosh L
computers.
According to Donald Allison,
the Head of the computer
science department, the
owning of personal computers
is being implemented to
provide a "better educational
environment" for the students
simply by having systems that
are more available.
The total cost of having such
availability will run about
$2500, including hardwear
and softwear packages
By Tim Fitzgerald
On April 11-13, Longwood's
Sociology and Anthropology
dcpartcmtns attended the
Southern Sociological Society
Annual Meetings held in
Charlotte, N. C. Over 2,000
people attended this conference
which is one of the larger
regional conferences in the
nation. Dr. Ballard, Dr. Jordan
and Dr. Perkins accompanied
Yolanda Thomas, Herman
McDonald, Charles Green,
Melba Whitaker, Karen Had-
dock and Benji Smith to the
conference .
At the conference, Dr. Perkins
presented a paper titled
"Towards a Theory of Oc-
cupational Solidarity, Part I: On
the Causes of Occupational
Communities." Dr. Ballard
presented a paper titled "Social
Change at Local Community
Level: Community Responses to
Reestablishment of Cambodian
Refugees." He also served as a
discussant in a session on
Applied Human Sociology.
Two students. Yolanda
Thomas and Herman Mc-
Donald, were in the Un-
dergraduate Student Paper
Competition.
According to Dr. Ballard,
"This was a good experience for
all the students who went. They
got a chance to see how these
meetings are conducted."

There arc single acres in Europe that house more first rate men

single square miles in America. If the whole of the late Confederacy
were to be engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow, the effect upon the
civilized minority of men in the world would be but little greater than
that of a flood on the Yang-Tse-Kiang. It would be impossible in all
history to match so complete a drying-up of a civilization.

U.S.C. INVESTIGATES 40 STUDENTS IN
COMPUTER GRADE TAMPERING PROBE-
What began last summer as one university em-
ployee paid to falsify five students' grades, has led
to an investigation of 40 students for "unauthorized
discrepancies" in their grade transcripts.
A faculty panel is conducting review hearings
and will recommend sanctions in each case, says
Vice Provost Sylvia Manning.
PEER TUTORS HELP IMPROVE COURSE
WORK BETTER THAN MORE TEACHER
ATTENTION— A Stanford University study shows
peer tutoring improves students' work almost four
times more effectively than smaller classes or
greater teaching time.
The study says computer-assisted instruction,
the second most cost-effective method, is twice as
costly as peer tutoring.
DOMINO'S PIZZA DELIVERY CARS were
temporarily banned from the Univ. of Southern
California campus because of repeated traffic
violations. The Office of Security and Parking
Operations lifted the ban after Domino's agreed to
spend more time training drivers and to take
disciplinary action against drivers who receive
campus traffic citations.
BLACK STUDENTS STAGED A SIT-IN in the
Univ. of Pennsylvania classroom of a professor
they say is harassing black students. The Black
Student League staged the protest after the
professor allegedly called two black students "ex-
slaves." The professor involved apologized for his
comments. The BSL later met with administrators
to press for racism awareness seminars and more
black faculty members, but walked out of that
meeting, calling the administration "unresponsive."
ITS THE YIPPIES OVER THE YUPPIES, at
least if victory is measured by who is winning the
bulk of applause at the popular Yippie vs. Yuppie
campus debates between radical activist Abbie
Hoffman and Wall Street investor Jerry Ruben . At
recent appearances at the universities of Virginia
and North Carolina, Hoffman was the obvious
favorite.
THE BLACK STUDENT MOVEMENT at the
Univ. of North Carolina lost a referendum to get
constitutionally protected funding for its
organization. By a 94- vote margin, among over
4,000 votes cast, the UNC student body rejected
the plan. The one positive note, said BSM leaders,
was increased awareness of the organization
campuswide.
A STUDENT PRESIDENT CANDIDATE at the
Univ. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill filed Honor
Court charges against two other student officers,
claiming they distributed negative campaign
materials that contributed to his defeat. The pair
reportedly put up posters identifying the candidate
as a socialist. One of those involved admitted
distributing the posters, but says that action is within
his right to free speech .
STUDENT SHOULD EARN INTEREST from
their student fees, the Associated Students of .the
Univ. of Oregon is claiming. Its finance coordinator
wants the state legislature to turn over the interest
earned on student fee surpluses to the ASUO.
Under current practice, the state receives the in-
terest on the account, although the money belongs
to the students and is used in years when student
fees fall short of expected budgets.
A VIRGINIA PRINTER FACES A BOYCOTT by
the Univ. of Virginia Student Council, after he
refused to print a poster advertising the council's
"Homosexuals in Society" forum. The council is
also advising student groups not to use the printer's
services. The forum was intended to be in-
formational, and included a speaker from the
Moral Majority.
PRIOR RESTRAINT IS UNDER DEBATE AT
THE UNIV. OF CONNECTICUT where the
Undergraduate Student Government passed a
resolution opposing a student group's publication
of a "Pledge of Resistance." The group. Students
for Peace, printed the pledge in its newsletter to
encourage students to commit civil disobedience at
federal facilities in the event the U. S. invaded
Nicaragua. The USG's response is an attempt to
exercise prior restraint, says the student
newspaper. The Dai'/y Campus. Not so, says the
USG, which claims it's only exercising its own
freedom of expression in asking the Students for
Peace to get prior approval of controversial
material which USG helps fund.
EDITORS OF EIGHT IVY LEAGUE PAPERS
put their heads together to produce an editorial that
came down hard on the Reagan administration's
proposed federal aid cuts. The statement was then
published in all eight papers. It targets the effects of
the proposed cuts of ivy League schools, which
might have to abandon need-blind admission
policies, and says the cuts would make higher
education "the exclusive privilege of the wealthy."
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS SELECTIVE
SERVICE PROSECUTION POLICY-By a 7 to
2 vote the Court rules the government's policy of
prosecuting young men who refuse to register for
the draft ortty if they publicize that refusal does not
violate free speech rights.
The decision affects 18 men to publicized their
decisions to resist draft registration by writing letters
to President Reagan or to the Selective Service.
The Justice Department says it now seeks out
all eligible men who have failed to register for the
draft, not just "known" non -registrants.
SCHOOLS PLAN NEW ALCOHOL
GUIDELINES-The Univ. of Illinois-Urbana-
Champaign student senate has banned un-
controlled alcohol sampling, drinking contests and
alcoholic awards on campus.
The proposal, however, contains no en-
forcement provisions.
And Roanoke (VA) College President Norman
Fintel hopes to ban beer kegs from campus next
fall.
Fintel says kegs symbolize "the essence of
alcoholic abuse."
CAMPUS COPS CLIP WINGS OF PHOENIX
COVERAGE— The proverbial open records
struggle between student newspapers and campus
police forces has hit San Francisco State Univ.
"Relations have never been exactly the best
between the Department of Public Safety and the
Phoenix, " says student nr.anaging editor Christine
Feldhorn. But those strained relations reached the
breaking point after the weekly paper reported that
the DPS was under criticism from the San Francisco
Police Department chief. The paper had obtained a
letter from the chief to the campus DPS office,
complaining that DPS had failed to file a follow-up
report on an October campus rape.
After that report came a virtual news blackout,
says Feldhorn. "Whenever we'd call, all the they'd
say was 'We are not speaking to Phoenix.' For
about a week there they cut us off completely."
Meanwhile the DPS did provide information to the
other SFSU student newspaper, The Golden
Gater.
Schools Update Dorms
Continued from page 1
their dorms as attractive as those
on other campuses.
Grimm notes the University of
Florida is establishing dor-
mitories with a strong academic
thrust: computers, quiet halls
and live-in faculty advisors.
In some cases, innovative
university administrators are
acting on their own initiative. In
others, they have no choice.
Norman, for example, has
developed a rriassive apartment
glut off campus, Pulliam points
out.
Landlords are offering a range
of inducements to attract
students, including a month's
free rent.
The number of OU students
living on campus reached an all-
time high in 1982-83. Dormitory
enrollment has declined by
about 10 percent since then, and
school officials expect it go go
down again next year.

Lancers Lose At UMBC
Pages
Stunned by a doubleheader
loss at Maryland Baltimore
County Sunday, Longwood's
18th ranked baseball team will
have to bounce back strong this
week if the Lancers hope to
make a return trip to the NCAA
Playoffs in May.
Now 29-9, Longwood has a
tough road ahead this week.
Following a home game with
Hampden-Sydney Monday, the
Lancers visit Norfolk State for
two Tuesday, Richmond for a
single game Thursday and
Mount St. Mary's for two
contests Saturday. Coach
Buddy Bolding's squad hosts St.
Mary's Sunday at 1 p.m. and
wraps up the season at Virginia
Commonwealth next Tuesday,
April 30.
The Lancers had beaten
Maryland Baltimore County 12-
9 back in March, but Sunday
afternoon the Retrievers put the
bite on Longwood 9-2 and 7-6
in eight innings, the nightcap loss
was a back-breaker for the
Lancers who held a 6-3 lead
going into the bottom of the
seventh inning. Longwood's
Scott Mills walked two batters
before giving up a homer which
tied the game at 6-6. UMBC
record 57 runs, beating the old
mark of 52 which Mayone set
last season. Lawter is also batting
.455 withnine homers. He and
Mayone are tied for the career
lead in homers with 18 each.
What makes Lawter's season
even more amazing is that many
of his hits have come in key
situations with men on base.
In the first game UMBC
battered Lancer starter Rob
Furth for seven runs in the third
inning to take a commanding 9-
0 lead. Dennis Leftwich slugged
a two-run homer in the fifth as
Longwood avoided the shutout.
Retriever pitcher Craig Varner
limited the Lancers to four hits.
Four Longwood errors also hurt
the cause.
Earlier last week, Longwood
took two from Radford Thursday
11-1 and 8-4 and staged a ninth
inning rally to nip Virginia
Commonwealth 11-10 Wed-
nesday. Todd Ashby and Tony
Browning hurled complete game
victories against the Highlan-
ders. Ashby is now 5-1 and
Browning 6-1.

of the ninth as the Lancers

won it in the bottom of the
eighth.
Mills gave up an astounding
13 walks in the contest, but the
Lancers almost won anyway
thanks to the hitting heroics of
senior Allen Lawter.
Lawter Shatters RBI Mark
In the midst of what may be
the best season yet by a
Longwood batter, Lawter ripped
two homers and drove in five
runs. His three-run shot in the
first, along with a solo homer by
Jeff Mayone staked the Lancers
to a 4-0 lead. Then in the top of
the seventh, his two-run blast
put Longwood up 6-3.
Lawter has now driven in a
scored three to overcome a 10-8
VCU lead.
Lancer Baseball Notes
—Leftwich passed a major
milestone in his career last week,
topping the 100 mark in stolen
bases. The junior centerfielder
has swiped 46 in 50 attempts this
season and 102 of 107 in three
years for a percentage of .953. A
Northside High graduate,
Leftwich raised his batting
average to .384 heading into the
games at UMBC.
—Sophomore Jeff Rohm
broke the single season record
for doubles Thursday. The
catcher now has 16 doubles,
most ever by a Lancer player in
one season.

Player of the Week
Senior Lanie Gerken led Longwood to a third place finish in
the National Small College Women's Golf Tournament last week,

third best LC score ever for three rounds of play, and the 71
equals her previous career best which came in last year's Small

Gerken holds the school record for three round score, a 74-
74-74-222, which she shot at last fall's Longwood Invitational.
A participant in last year's NCAA Women's Golf Cham-

Golfers
In The Swing
Longwood played solid golf in
the National Small College

Monday through Wednesday at
Seminole Golf Course, but the
end result was a third place finish
behind two teams which played
even better.
Led by senior Lanie Gerken
and freshmen Meircia Mclone
and Tina Barrett, Longwood
carded a 315-307-312-934.
Weber State (Utah) was the
winner with a 304-302-315-921
while Troy State (Alabama) was
second at 314-302-309-925.
Longwood took consolation
from the fact that Gerken,
Melone and Barrett received All-
Amerlcan honors, based on the
top 10 finish In the Individual
standings.
Gerken, who shot the low
round of the tournament on day
one (71), was third and earned
first team All- American honors.

not bad, but it wasn't quite good
enough to win.'"

Insurance Companies Threaten Drinking Ban
North Dartmouth, MA— In a
trend which many experts claim
could soon spread nationwide,
all Massachusetts state colleges
and universities are being forced
to halt campus alcohol sales
because they can't find an
inusrance company to carry their
alcohol liability policies.
It could make college bars and
on -campus liquor sales obsolete.
"No other state is in as severe
a position as Massachusetts,
yet," notes Mark Rosenberg of
the Insurance Information In-
stitute (III). "But it's a growing
problem around the country and
it could easily become as severe
in other areas."
The problem arose first at
Southeastern Massachusetts
University (SMU), when ad-
ministrators recently learned
their insurance broker couldn't
locate a company willing to
renew their alcohol liability
insurance.
Such coverage protects the
university, campus bar em-
ployees, administrators, and
regents from lawsuits connected
with on -campus alcohol con-
sumption .
SMU received notice its
alcohol coverage would not be
renewed at the end of March
because insurance companies
were getting out of the alcohol
liability business.
"The underwriters are simply
no longer renewing any bar or
club liability policies," explains
Francis Gordon, director of
auxiliary services at SMU.
"They're getting out of alcohol
liability coverage except for
establishments with an 80/20
food-alcohol mix. And there's
no way a campus bar can serve
that much food."
Only days after SMU learned
its alcohol coverage would not
be renewed, state colleges
throughout Massachusetts were
told their alcohol policies would
be cancelled April 1 .
Because Massachusetts law
requires state schools to carry
liability insurance before they
can serve alcohol, on-campus
alcohol sales in the state virtually
have ended, Gordon says.
"We've (SMU) already
stopped selling alcohol here," he
says, "and the other schools will
have to do the same thing real
soon. Even without the state
law, we couldn't afford to
continue serving alcohol without
liability insurance."
Experts say the lack of alcohol
liability insurance easily could
spread to other states.
"The commercial liability
industry is in a very tough time,"
notes Bob Fulton, an insurance
broker with Child, Savory, and
Hayward in Boston, which
unsuccessfully tried to find a
company to renew SMU's
alcohol liability policy.
"From what we've seen,
insurance companies are very
anxious to get out of the liability
market in general, and alcohol
liability coverage in particular,"
he says .
The reason, Fulton and other
experts say, is a combination of
tougher drinking laws, increased
liability of bars and taverns for
the actions of intoxicated
patrons, and mushrooming
court awards in alcohol-related
lawsuits.
In addition, 35 states now
have "dram shop" laws that
extend liability for alcohol -re-
lated accidents to the parties that
served liquor to the person who
caused the accident, explains
Edward Hammond, vice
president for student affairs at
the University of Louisville, and
member of a newly-established
national task force on college
alcohol issues.
Colleges, too, have faced
increasing liability in recent years
for accidents, crimes and injuries
resulting from institutional
negligence.
Cases involving such schools
as Ohio State, Virginia and
Oregon, to name a few, have
held student organizations and
fraternities responsible for the
actions of intoxicated guests,
Hammond points out.
Even raising the legal drinking
age can make colleges more
vulnerable to lawsuits.
In Minnesota, for instance, the
drinking age may soon jump
from 19 to 21, greatly increasing
the chances of colleges ac-
cidentally serving liquor to
minors, and opening up
tremendous liability potential,
warns University of Minnesota
attorney Mark Karon.
"If you were at a fraternity, a
sorority, or a dormitory or any
other kind of party and you gave
liquor to a minor, you impose
the possibility of common-law
negligence" by selling liquor to
underaged students, he warns.
"In the wake of all these law
changes and crackdowns, what's
happening is that someone
drinks himself blind, goes out
and wraps his car around a
telephone pole or crashes into
another car, and then the victims
and their families sue the bar or
fraternity for huge financial
settlements," says Donna
McKenna of the Professional
Insurance Agents Association.
"That's why (insurance
companies) are dropping
alcohol liability.
If more insurance companies
quit offering alcohol liability
policies, colleges may find it
increasingly costly to serve
liquor, or to allow alcohol on
campus at all.
SMU is a completely "dry"
campus now, says Auxiliary
Services Director Gordon . Other
Massachusetts schools soon will
do the same thing, he predicts.
Indeed, without liability in- 1
surance, "many colleges around
the country may decide to
simply ban alcohol from campus
rather than face the risk it posesi
to the institution," saysl
Louisville's Hammond, noting al
number of campuses alreadyl
have gone dry even with liabilityj
insurance.
"It's not something I agre<
with," he adds, "but it's certainh
making more and more sense -
at least financially and legally -
for colleges to get away frot
alcohol altogether."

Longwood College
Farmville, Virginia
esday, September 10, 1985
Number One
Open
Friday, September 20 is the date
set for the rescheduled grandopen-
ing of the Lance Cafe/Recreation
Center, although Rick Johnson,
Director of ARA Dining Services,
seems doubtful of its completion
by this time.
The newest part of the facility,
where the old bookstore used to
be, has already been completed.
The delays seem to be in getting
the old snack bar area in shape,
while awaiting the arrival of up-
dated kitchen equipment lack of
available labor also seems to be a
major consideration in the open-
ing's deadline was supposed to be
opened last year.
By the time Lance Cafe is com-
pleted, it will have cost around
$200,000, says Johnson with the
money coming totally from stu-
dent fees. However, according to
Phyllis Mable VP of Student of
Affairs, included in tuition. These
fees have not been increased to ac-
comodate the new center, but
rather have been managed wisely
over a period of time. Upon com-
pletion. The Lancer Cafe will hold
300 people and is tentatively
scheduled to be open 9 a.m. to 11
p.m. Monday thru Thursday and
will be open until midnight on
weekends. Sundays hours will be
1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The Rec Center will basically
have two sections: an eatery and
an entertainment center although
food and drink will be available
on both sides. Johnson hesitates to
call the new entertainment section
a bar because that carries the idea
of liberal drinking - an idea that
Longwood is trying to deter.
As promised last year, beer will
be served to those of age, but mix-
ed drinks will be not be served.
Virgin Drinks or Mocktails (mix-
ed drinks without alcohol) will be
available for $L00. A 16 oz. glass
of beer will cost only $1.00 and a
mug of beer will be 60 cents. Six-

Snack Bar?
What Snack Bar?
<^'
A photo of the you-know-what
packs will still be sold, but only as
carry out - they may not be con-
sumed in the cafe under the
guidelines of the ABC License
ARA currently holds.
ARA will utilize a system of
hand stamping that designates
drinkers from non-drinkers.
Students will be admitted with
their Longwood ID and will be
permitted to bring as many as two
guests, as customary, guests will
be the responsbility of their host.
In an effort to make the process
of distinguishing those that are of
legal age to drink from those that
aren't, Longwood Colege has
come up with a system that in-
volves the new I.D.'s. These in-
dividuals who are under aged will
find a red dot appearing in the up-
per left hand corner of their stu-
dent I.D.'s. Those who are of age
will not.
Special organizations such as
fraternites, sororities and residence
halls will not be able to reserve the
cafe for special events. "The theme
behind the student Rec Center is
the student, not an organization.
It is the to be open to all students
at all times, " said Phylis Mable.
When the cafe is finally com-
pleted, it will house a small dance
floor with music being played by
the bartender. Future plans for a
D.J. booth are currently under
consideration.

Returning Longwood students
will recognize many familiar sights
upon resumption of the academic
year. The long lines at the book
store, the Freshmen who are try-
ing to figure out the difference bet-
ween West Ruffner and Grainger,
and the girl who takes 45 minutes
at the salad bar customizing her
lettuce. These types of situations
are to be expected with a high in-
flux of new students and the
general confusion associated with
the beginning of the year. As the
confusion wanes and people begin
to settle in, a latent, and fairly re-
cent manifestation begins to stir in
the hearts and guts of many a
Longwood scholar. What happen-
ed to our cheesy snack bar?
Moreover, where's the "Lancer
Cafe" that has been promised since
I was a young man?
My first car always worked un-
til I tried to "fix" it. The example
above seems analagous to the
snack bar situation. It seems that
three months should have been
enough time to finish the project,
considering half was already fin-
ished at the end of last semester.
Haven't most of us heard the sar-
donic warnings of doing a "half-
ass" job? Now we have one half
completely renovated and the oth-
er half in shambles. The scenario
is hauntingly reminicent of the
way the old bookstore looked at
the beginning of last year. Will it
take another year for the snack
bar/Lancer Cafe to open? Perhaps
we are witnessing the beginning of
a tradition, and should appreciate
its historical significance.
Recently an informed insider
told me that the snack bar would
open on October 1. Yet another
delay! What happened to opening
in August? Do the construction
workers of the greater Farmville
area hibernate during the summer?
Perhaps we are funneling snack
bar funds to the Contras in Nicar-
agua? Or do we need Congression-
al approval? Oh, and by the way,
isn't it just a little unnerving to
walk by everyday and never see a
soul in there working.
So why the delays? First it was
plans being re-drawn. Other rea-
sons cited included the time and
tedious nature of complying with
state law in reference to process-
ing bids from contractors. Unfor-
tunately, this past lip service has
worn thin. The same frustrated re-
marks are heard from students as
they parade past the snack bar de-
bacle. I woulci have thought the
administration involved would
have seen to a certain August
opening date. It would have pro-
vided a comfortable on campus
lounge, boosted morale for re-
turning students, and impressed
new ones. Perhaps, it is a low
priority. I guess eveybody just got
too involved bureaucratizing the
new alcohol guidelines or making
posters for the highly popular
Y.A.C. Center. Maybe the guys
who were supposed to refurbish
the snack bar found steady work
fixing the old Red Lion?
There really must be some em-
barrassed administrators at Long-
wood, considering all the promises
and subsequent delays. The Feb-
ruary 5, 1985, Rotunda article
"Campus Pub Likely To Open In
The Fall" is an ugly reminder and
epitomizes the failure of the ad-
minstration on this project. His-
tory shows us that Lyndon John-
son and Richard Nixon quickly be-
came accountable to an angry
public. I wonder who's account-
able at Longwood? Maybe this is
what "Living Fully" is all about?
Nevertheless, I'm still hoping that
my first beer at the new snack bar
won't be purchased as an alum-
nus.

My Page
Well, The Rotunda is back on your favorite newsstands
once again. This year's first issue is three weeks late because
the newspaper was handed over. . . nah, punted over to me
in a state of financial chaos. With the 1985-1986 Editorship,
I received a debt from last year estimated at about $4,000.00
(I say estimated because the bills keep rolling in, some in
the mail and some through the window with rocks) . In ad-
dition, I must make up for the 'Special-Super-Duper-
Graduation-Extravaganza-Issue'. The super duper thing
about this issue was that for the first time ever, ads were
paid for in advance. What a concept! Only the issue was
never published. Whoops! So some of the advertisements
you see this year will be printed free of charge, out of the
goodness of my heart (and mankind's inherent fear of
lawyers).
In all fairness, I must say that Jeff Abernathy was a great
leader, a tireless worker and a talented writer. I can only
dream of putting out such a quality paper with as much con-
sistency as Abernathy did last year. But for Godssake don't
let that man get near a checkbook! I mean this guy thinks
a ledger is someone who climbs to risky places to get a bet-
ter view of the Greatful Dead show.
Anyhow, The Rotunda is back on its own fiscal feet; it
could not have been done without the trust and assistance
given to me by Christine Harbour and Phillis Mable.
This assistance was not without some strings attached.
I mean, check out some of the things we have to do this
year:
•We may no longer pay for things with cash.
•We are not permitted any more $400.00 Christmas parties.
•The Rotunda can no longer buy groceries for the Editor
or finance a phone in his apartment.
•You know those little stub things that hold the checks in
your checkbook? Well, they're telling me that I gotta fill
them out every time I write a check. Geez!
•And you know those little white pieces of paper the cashier
hands you when you buy something (Harbour calls them
receipts, I thought they were coupons or business cards),
I gotta save them. I guess they're recyclable or something
No matter, now I can get back to the business of runn-
ing a newspaper. With all of the help Phyllis Mable has
given me, I sincerely hope that my inevitable fun-poking
at the Administation is not interpretted as a slap in the face;
they are certainly are not intended to be. It is my job. Plus
I like to do it.
The Administration often asks for abuse. Sometimes
they beg.
Have you seen the new, improved Longwood College
alcohol policy? I mean, really, these guys are writing my
jokes for me. . .
Help Stop Drinking Games
Drinking games are naughty. You know it, I know it. Drinking games make you destroy dorms, kill
each other and/or have sex. Not to mention miss classes. The Rotunda is honored to be the only student
newspaper at the only college in the world to ban drinking games (Liberty University is a church, not
a college). We are in the forefront of an advancing society and I like it. As a public service in support
of the new Longwood policy of "No drinking games," The Rotunda will have a life-size piggy bank set
up in the New Smoker every Friday morning. All students will be asked to bring all of their quarters
to this location for safe-keeping over the weekend. No quarters no drinking games, right? Well, that's
exactly what I was thinking. All quarters will be tagged for identification and may be picked up on Mon-
day at the same location. In addition. The Rotunda will no longer accept advertising from local businesses
which give change in anything larger than a dime on weekends.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Extra Curricular Activities Help
Participation in extracurricular
activities is the second most im-
portant clue in identifying poten-
tial managers, says an AT&T
study. The undergraduate major
was the most important predictor
with humanities or social science
majors ranking highest in
managerial skills.
Other predictors ~ grades or the
quality of the institution attended
— were less important. The study
said grades are useful as a measure
of intellectual ability and high
work standards but do not relate
to most other managerial
characteristics. And attending a
"high quality" insitution is likewise
no sign on its own of managerial
success, although it might once
have been. "Attending high quali-
ty schools has become associated
with motivational and personali-
ty characteristics that cannot be
considered favorable for
managers," the study says.
The study combined the fin-
dings of several surveys conducted
over a period of 20 years involv-
ing both AT&T employes and
others.

Resume Resuscitation
Your grades are only a small part of what a job interviewer will
look at. Extracurricular activities on your resume show alot about
your interpersonal skills. You should think about joining the staff
of Longwood's Student Newspaper. The Rotunda has only a hand-
ful of returning staffers (2).
If you would like to join the fast pace world of travel, high fashion
and celebrity that is The Rotunda come to the organizational meeting
on Thursday, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. in The Rotunda office (that's
in Lankford near the post office).

Some recommendations the
study made to those recruiting
managment trainees:
•Pay more attention to those get-
ting bachelors degrees at night
while employed by the company;
•Liberal arts graduates are ex-
cellent sources of general manage-
ment talent;
•Extracurricular activities can be
an indication of a well-rounded
educational experience. Engineer-
ing majors, for instance, general-
ly scored low in interpersonal
abilities, but an engineering major
with student government ex-
perience might be an outstanding
find.
The Rotunda is seeking a new design for it's flag (The name of
the paper on page 1). The artist who submits the winning flag will
receive $25.00. All work must be done on white paper with black
ink. Enter as many times as you wish.
You may slide your art under the publications office door in
Lankford, near the post office or bring it to the New Smoker Thurs-
day, September 12 during dinner hours.

CPS — Students entering the job
market this year are increasingly
likely to face a new hurdle: drug
test.
Companies that for the past few
years have tested their employees
for drug use are now making
students who apply for jobs take
the same tests, campus job centers
around the country report.
"It's just starting to surface, in
part because more firms seem to
be willing to admit they do it,"
says Robert Riegle, assistant direc-
tor of placement services at
Wayne State University and athor
of a recent article on the subject.
Riegle learned of the practice
last summer, when a student
received a letter from an employer
notifying him that a job offer was
being withdrawn.
"The letter didn't say why, but
in person they told him they
detected marijuana through the
use of urinalysis," Reigel says.
Reigle says the tests can detect
marijuana use up to three weeks
after consumption.
Moveover, he says companies
don't alwys tell students they're
taking drug tests.
Representatives of firms con-
tacted by College Press Service say
they do tell job applicants the tests'
purpose.
They say positive results do not
automatically disqualify job
applicants.
"Keeping the workplace safe is
an increasing concern," explains
Robert McKee, Atlantic Richfield
Company health department
director, "particularly given that
the use of drugs is becoming so
prevalent."
ARCO, based in Los Angeles,
plans to begin giving drug tests to

applicants later this month, he
says.
McKee acknowledges the test
detects marijuana up to 21 days
after use, jeopardizing someone
who can smoke the drug on a
weekend, for example, without
hurting Monday's performance
because the drug's psychoactive ef-
fects have worn off long before.
That is why ARCO officials are
being told to use the test only as
a guideline, he says.
ARCO adopted the test policy
in part because it operates several
facilities that use hazardous
materials.
But white-collar firms also are
turning increasingly to drug tests.
IBM officials, for example,
began requiring drug tests for all
job applicants late last year.
"We feel a paramount respon-
sibility to ensure the safety of the
workplace for all our employees,"
IBM spokesman Tom Mattia says.
Problems with excessive drug
use by IBM employees in several
departments have caused pro-
blems, Mattia says.
He declined, however, to pro-j
vide examples of safety-related
problems among white-collarl
workers.
IBM job applicants get the op
portunity to explain positive dru
test results, Mattia says.
Other firms, such as Genera
Motors, allow administrators a
local plants to ask job applicant
to take drug tests. GM's local
option drug policy has been in ef
feet since the early 1970's.
At the Adolph Coors Co
brewery in Golden, Colo., job ap
plicants take polygraph exam;
during which they are asked
among other things, whether the
have abused drugs or alcohol.
Officials at the firms using dru
tests declined to reveal figures o
the rate at which job applicant
test positive for drug use.
Reigel says students who lean
they will be tested for drug use ca!
also find ways to beat the tests
Beyond that, he is trying to con-
vince employers the tests are o
limited value.
"There is the potential for peo'
pie to lose employment unfairly,']
Riegle says. "You can't tell witl|
these tests, for example, whetht
a person smoked pot while on th^
job, like you can with aIcoh(
tests."
Occasional marijuana us
should not disqualify a perse
from employment, Riegl
maintains.
"If businesses started firii
everyone who used pot, they^
lose a lot more people than the
expect. " he asserts.

Barrett and Melone have been

Senior Tim Ford helped
Longwood gets its soccer season
started with a bang Sunday after-
noon, scoring two goals as the
Lancers beat Guilford 3-1. For his
performance. Ford has been nam-
ed Longwood College Player Of
The Week for the period
September 2-9. Player of the Week
is chosen by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
An All-Eastern Division selec-
tion in the Virginia Intercollegiate
Soccer Association last season,
Ford took up right where he left
off last season Sunday. Putting
pressure on the defense. Ford
scored twice on break-aways, go-
ing one-on-one with the Guilford
keeper.
He probably would have scored
a third goad, but was tripped by
the goalkeeper. Mark McArdle
slammed in the resulting penalty
shot to account for the other Lance
goal.
Ford spent quite a bit of time
sprinting toward the Guilford goal
Sunday afternoon and he seemed
to have an extra burst of speed
every time he needed it.
"Rich (Posipanko) really got us
into shape with our preseason
\
work," Ford explained about his
ability to out-run the Quakers. "I
was just running good and they
(LC teamates) just kept kicking the
ball out ahead."
Ford who transferred to
Longwood last year from Bucks
Co. (PA) Community College,
had 12 goals and six assists for the
Co-State Champs in 1984.
A graduate of Pennsbury High
School, Ford is majoring in
business. He was an All-State and
All-Region performer at Bucks
County.
Sparked by two goals from Tim
Ford, the 12th ranked Longwood
soccer team beat Gilford College
3-1 Sunday afternoon in what
coach Rich Posipanko called his
toughest season opener to date.
Longwood will take its 1-0 re-
cord to Baltimore, Maryland Sat-
urday and Sunday for the Mary-
land Baltimore County Retriever
Tournament. Saturday it's LC vs.
Charleston (WV) at 3:00, after
UMBC faces Pittsburgh-Johns-
town at 1:00. The championship
game is set for 2:00 Sunday with
a contest for third place at 12
Noon.
"We played very well in the first
half Sunday," said Posipnko, "We
were well-prepared and our depth
was a factor in the heat."
Posipanko was able to use 18
players in the first half, helping
Longwood shake off the effects of
95 degree heat.
A break-away goal by Ford and
a penalty kick by Mark McArdle
gave Longwood a 2-0 lead at the
half. Ford scored on another
break-away in the second half up
to the margin to 3-0. Then Guil-
ford caught the Lancer defenders
napping to cut the margin to 3-1.
Goalkeeper Rob Liessem came
up with several nice saves in the
final moments when Guilford
frantically tried to catch up. The
Quakers had come into the game
with a 3-0 record and a 5-0 win ov-
er Averett.
Each team had 15 shots on goal
in the contest and Liessem and
Guilford keeper Mark Kramer
each came up with five saves.
Longwood's next home game is
Wednesday, September 18 when
Newport News visits. The Lancers
are ranked 12th in the ISAA-
Adidas Div. II preseason poll.
Longwood may be without the
services of senior Dan Bubnis for
several weeks, if not the remainder
of the season. Bubnis was injured
in practice Thursday, suffering
either a sprained ankle or a frac-
ture. The injury was to be diag-
nosed Mondy.

Longwood
Archeologists
At the Morris Field Ar-
cheological Site in Buckingham
County this summer the 38
students of the Longwood College
Archeology Field School faced a
problem. The archeology site,
located on the banks of the Ap-
pomattox, River on the farm of
Mr. R. T. Morris, Jr., was the
location of ten weeks of digging
for Indian remains. Dr. James Jor-
dan, Associate Professor of An-
thropology at Longwood College
and Director of the Archeology
Field School, observed, "the Mor-
ris Field Archeological Site is ex-
tremely rich in prehistoric Indian
remains. My students unearthed
2,481 artifacts during the summer
ranging from clay pottery to stone
projectile points, scrapers, blades,
drills and pieces of smooth bone
probably used as needles." Based
on the styles of clay pots the ar-
cheologists found, Jordan believes
the site was an Indian village in-
habited as long ago as 2,0(X) years
before the present. The site has
been registered with the Virginia
Research Center for Archeology
and has been assigned the site
number 44BK212.
Many of the finds came from
two trash pits which the Indians
had apparently dug as a place to
throw away garbage such as bone
and other waste from butchering
and food preparation activities.
Jordan said it appeared the Indians
dug a hole in the ground about 3
feet in diameter and about 3 feet
deep, and then threw trash in it
until it was about full. Based on
what the archeologists found, it
seems the Indians then piled red
clay in a mound of 6 inches or so
on top of the full trash pit and
built a fire on this clay to harden
it and seal their garbage can shut
against insects, rodents, and other
pests which they did not want
drawn to their living area.
When unearthed by the
Longwood archeologists, these In-
dian "garbage cans" stood out
clearly from the surrounding soil
because the organic items thrown
in the trash pit by the Indians had
decayed over the centuries pro-
ducing a rich black compost which
showed the outline of the orignial

Statement
by Micheal T. Clements
As the sun peeked over the
horizon early Sunday morning, a
ray of light surely struck the toilet
perched upon the sign at the cor-
ner of Spruce and Redord. As
students passed this social state-
ment many wondered about it's
purpose and many conversations
erupted about it's true significance.
As a scholar of Longwood Col-
lege, I pose a question to you, the
readers of this fine literary work
- what does this mean? I ask,
"What posessed the rebels of today
to place such controversial, yet
commonplace item on public
display. After hours of pondering
this I have brought many feelings
from deep within myself. 1 have sit
gazing at the toilet wondering if it
is simply a product of (an intox-
iating party). Is is simply an act of
those falsely stimulated by unex-
plainable drugs. Or is it an inten-
tional act by a Longwood College
Student in order to voice his veiws
about the institution surrounding
him. And if so what are those
views. It is easy for one to inter-
pret a toilet in various ways. A
toilet can be associated with the
flush or dismissing of accepted
ideas or it can be associated with
the accepted ways that are often
used. Or is it even possible that
this was an act of some unknown
being in it's effort to express its
feelings of Longwood, Farmville,
or the modern day college student.
I suppose we will never know the
real truth behind this stand on
society. I just ask that you, the
leaders of tomorrow, never
alienate yourselves from new
ideas.
preparing to send 21 samples of
these organic remains to specialists
at the Virginia Research Center for
Archeology who may be able to
identify the specific plants and
animals which ended up in the
trash pits. Jordan says, "It is one
thing to know the kinds of stone
tools or clay pots these Indians
were using, but it will really give
us an insight into more intimate
aspects of their lives if we can find
out the very foods they were
savoring around their cooking
fires on the banks of the Appomat-
tox River each evening, 2,000
years ago."

On Alcohol Policy
Just as Longwood College continues the war on campus alcohol abuse
with rules that are more strict, studies are coming out that show 'getting
tough' is a self-defeating strategy when it comes to controlling alcohol
abuse.
A joint study by the American Association of University Students and
the Metropolitian Life Insurance Company found that the more prohibitive
the campus alcohol policy, the more likely the school was to experience
alcohol related problems.
The study looked at 32 schools and rated the restrictiveness of each
alcohol policy. The campuses were then rated for the prevalence of alcohol-
related problems based on judicial board cases and counseling referrals.
The study showed that schools with permissive alcohol policies fared
much better than the schools with harsh alcohol policies.
Apparently the administrative jugheads who made our alcohol policy
ignored studies like this. Some of the new alcohol rule lowlights are:
•Parties may no longer be organized for Thursday nights
•Fewer kegs are allowed at events.
•No 'drinking games' are allowed.
This rule about Thursday night parties is a farce. The rule will not con-
trol drinking. The biggest consequence of the rule has been to cut the single
largest fundraising opportunity of the week. The Rotunda had planned
on hosting a few Thursday night parties to raise money for a word-
processor /computer. But noooooo. Other groups had used Thursday night
parties to raise money for memorial scholarship funds, the sponsoring
of children in undeveloped nations and other worth-while causes. Now
the local watering holes will reap the profits of Thursday night parties.
This fact is certain. The off -campus night spots do outrageous business
on Thursday nights, which was to be expected. But what was not expected
was the opening of D.T. Bradley's, Farmville's newest hot-spot. D.T.
Bradley's is just far enough from Longwood to encourage some students
to drive. I predict that when the weather turns cold even more students
will pile into even more 'drunk-mobiles' and venture out into the night.
If the purpose of outlawing Thursday kegs is to insure that students come
to Friday morning class in good shape, what will happen when the first
students turn up dead? I know what will happen, the administration will
blame alcohol and use the inevitable deaths to futher restrict the alcohol
rules. I won't blame alcohol. I will blame the hooligans who run the alcohol
task force.
Page 2
Perhaps this is a good time to explain what happened at the final,
decisive alcohol task force meeting.
In the April 16, 1985 issue of the Rotunda, "Keg Dispute Arouses
Students", a true "alcohol awareness committee" was described. A few
hundred students filled the Prince Edward room to voice their opinions
about kegs in dorms. For once, the task force czar was given student input.
The April meeting took place during lunch time on a normal school
day. But the meeting at which the big 'no Thursday night parties' rule
came down was different. The decisive meeting was scheduled on reading
day before last spring's exams. Reading day at 8:00 a.m. Seven commit-
tee members showed up. Only three were students. Arguments went back
and forth. Finally it came down to an ultimatum: Either we have no kegs
in the dorms ever, or we have no Thursday night parties, which do you
choose? Waitaminute! What happened to all those arguments put forth
by students to keep the alcohol policy 'pro-choice'? What happened to
student input of any kind? It looked like a vote in the Soviet Union. "All
in favor? Fine, thanks for stopping by, comrades"
So the task force voted for the less harsh "no Thursday night parties".
Within two days, some jerks had printed and circulated flyers accusing
one of the task forces' student members of screwing the student body.
There was nothing anybody could have done. Another task force member
commented to me that it seemed [task force committee chairperson] Barb
Gorski knew all along that some kind of harsh change in the alcohol policy
was going to take place, that it was planned out the whole time. Perhaps
Gorski was getting pressure from the faculty, or maybe she was trying
to make herself look good. In the memo attached to the Alcohol Pro-
cedure pamphlet that was put in the faculty mailboxes, Gorski writes,
"I'm pleased to give you the new Alcohol Procedures. Some of the
highlights are:" Gorski goes on to list only the restrictive changes and
ends with "Call me if you have any questions, concerns or compliments!"
Maybe Gorski is now trying to bring her 'Soviet style' to the student-
run judicial and honor boards? But that is next week's editorial . . . ^
Next week: Why is Barb Gorski the new, highly verbal and influential
advisor to both the judicial board and the honor board?

STATEMENT OF CLARIFICATION
We would like to clarify a misunderstanding that may have occur-
red from the September 10 issue in the article "Opening Postponed";
All funds used to remodel the snack bar are coming from student fees'
not from tuition monies.
Cultural Mecca In Danger
by Bruce Souza
The Farmville Town Council
has opened debate on whether or
not to restore one of the town's
oldest cultural anomalies. Mean-
while, angry citizen groups have
formed to protest any alteration to
the hallowed ground. The tract in
question is the paved suface exten-
ding from the northern end of
Popes to the beginning of Sunny's
restaurant. The site itself sup-
posedly emits a mystic aura,
which attracts a plethora of
visitors annually.
Locals feel that any rejuvena-
tion of this revered area might
disturb the supernatural forces
within it's divine boundaries. Most
people just sit in their cars and
meditate, oblivious to the presence
of others in their cars and the
human activity in the bustling
shopping center. The assert that
by doing so, a mental state very
near nirvana can be reached.
Sometimes whole families return
day after day attempting to be-
come one with the cosmic waves
that foster the sought spiritual
identiy. One Farmvilliam, Mr.
O.L. Buick told us that "Peoples
comes from all over state just to
park here for a few moments."
One skeptic who perferred to re-
main unnamed was quoted as say-
ing "It just looks like a bunch of
people with nothing better to do
than sit around in beat up cars."
Unfotunately, the recent intru-
sion of out of town visitors and
vandals has created a problem for
local government officials. It
seems visitors are now bringing
tools and chiselling out portions of
the holy tarmac for personal
mementos. This has forced local
commerce leaders to push for a
renovation project, which regular
patrons object to. Steady users of
the Messa complain that the
government is trying to displace
and interrupt a way of life.
The Farmville Mecca is open
365 days a year, from dawn to
dusk. Visitors are asked not to use
economy cars or bring any sharp
tools. The visitors gallery is
located in front of the Safeway
store where interested parties may
observe on foot.
The Longwood College ROTC
Department is off and running this
year, with the new cadat chain of
command announced last week.
This year's Batallion Commander
will be Cadat Hope King who will
hold the rank of Cadet Lt. Col-
onel. Cadet Tony Costanzo will be
the Batallion Executive Officer and
hold the rank of Cadet Major,
followed by Cadet David Rackley
who will be the S3 and also hold
the rank of Cadet Major. Cadet
Omar Faxhoury will hold the posi-
tion of Si and Cadet Gina
Steenland will be the S4, both
holding the rank of Cadet
Captain. The company com-
mander of the MSIII Cadets will
be Cadet Captain Steve Nielson,
followed by the tactics committee
headed by Cadet Captain Jim
Gandorf, Land Navigation Com-
mittee headed by Cadet Captain
Steve Kidwell, Physical Training
Committee headed by Cadet Cap-
tain Tony Jones, and Public Rela-
tions Officer headed by Cadet
Captain Chris Wright. The ROTC

Longwood
Ambassadors
Attend Leadership
Conference
by Robert Smith
The executive council of the
Longwood College Student Am-
bassadors traveled to Michigan
State University recently for a four
day National Student Alumni
Association (SAA) and Student
Foundation (SF) National
Conference.
Approximately 500 delegates
from across the nation were par-
ticipating in the seminars. Some of
the colleges and universities that
attended were: University of
Nebraska, U.C.L.A., Clemson,
Boston College and Michigan
State-the host school.
Longwood College was repre-
sented by ten student delegates
and the two advisors of the Long-
wood Ambassadors. The follow-
ing officers of the Longwood Am-
bassadors attended the conference:
Tami Bostian-Co-President,
Teresa Alvis Co-President, Doug
Howell- Vice President, Deanna
Moore -Secretary Treasurer and
Holly A. Daugherty -Admissions-
Tours.
Other officers in attendance
were: Robert Smith-Publicity,
Sonya Knur-Promotions, Kirk
Vetter-Special Projects Fund Rais-
ing, Dee Booker-Telefund and
Amy Etheridge-Telefund.
The conference covered such
topics as building team spirit,
marketing your group, leadership
styles and tapping into Alvis se-
cond semester.
The Longwood Ambassador Ex-
ecutive Council captured the na-
tional spirit competition title as
members of S.A.A. regional dis-
trict. Adding much excitement and
laughter to the mighty district
three team were Clemson, Univer-
sity of South Carolina, Radford
and Valdosta State. The district
three team easily surpassed the
other seven districts which ac-
count for the rest of the nations
colleges and universities.
The Executive Council felt very
lucky to have had the opportuni-
ty to attend the prestigious
S.A.A. /S.F. National Conference
and are very grateful to the
Longwood College Foundation for
funding the trip. The location for
next years conference is the
University of California at Santa
Barbara.
The Ambassador Executive
Council learned and shared many
excellent ideas and programs and
are very excited in putting them
into action.
Parking
Problem
by Jeffery Kerr Fleming
Last year many students com-
plained to the Parking Appeals
Comm. about unfair ticketing to
no avail. Last year this student
based committee allowed only a
very small percentage of appeals
to be passed. Many of you, like
myself, felt you'd been given a bad
deal when you had a wheel-lock
put on your car. Many of you, like
myself, observed the gross incon-
sistencies of ticketing. And final-
ly, many of your, like myself,
were told that we didn't have a
parking problem; plenty of room
at Wynn Building.
So if you can't find a "legal"
parking space take these
precautions.
1) Get a campus map and find
Wynn Building Parking Lot.
(That's right, the one way over
there.)
2) Get out your hiking boots,
compass, and canteen.
3) Get a police flashlight. (One
of those long billy knockers that
Rambo would carry)
4) Turn your car burgular alarm
system on extra loud (Oh, you
don't have one? You better park
illegally)
5) Leave your car at home and
let everyone else pay for gas,
tickets and vandelism.

David Breil, professor of
biology, will give the first lecture
in this year's Faculty Colloquim
Series at Longwood College.
He will speak on Wednesday,
September 18, at 7:30 p.m. in
Wygal Auditorium. The lecture,
entitled "The Wee Worts of Penin-
sular Florida," is open to the
public free of charge. i
Dr. Breil will discuss his 17-year
investigation of the more than 160
species of liverworts (moss-like
plants) to be found in Florida. He
has "rediscovered" several liver-
worts that were presumed to be
extinct in Florida and found some
new varieties of the plants.
Liverworts grow in several dif-
ferent habitats ~ some even grow
on rock such as limestone ~ but
the majority of them grow on tree
trunks in damp locations.
"1 have done a lot of tramping
around through swamps, being on
guard for moccasins and 'gators,"
Dr. Breil said. "The major pro-
blem was accessibility. There's
always the danger of getting lost
in the great cyprus swamps of
southern Florida."
Most of his field work was done
during winter breaks between
semesters. He also spent the spring
semester of 1981 in Florida. He
returned from these field trips with
"collections of plants in their own
brown paper bags ~ anywhere
from 300 to 700 from each trip ~
to identify in the lab here at
Longwood." The plant samples
were then preserved so that Dr.
Breil can make drawings from
them for a manual he is preparing.
Dr. Breil is a graduate of the
University of Massachusetts and
received his Ph.D. in botany from
Florida State University. He has
received research grants from the
Virginia Academy of Sciences, the
Society of Sigma Xi, and the
Longwood College Foundation to
support his ongoing study of
mosses and liverworts in Virginia
and in Florida.

Fashion sometimes turns out to
be a four-letter word. It is hard
deciding what's in, what's not,
what's cold, and what's hot. Have
you ever seen someone with the
ugliest outfit on one week, and the
next week, you're wearing a rep-
lica? Don't feel bad, everyone does
this. Many people on campus
seem to have their own special
look. The looks range between
Preppie, Punk, New Wave, K-
Mart blue light special, and the
basic Salvation Army Wardrobe.
Take this quiz and see how you
fall in the world of fashion.
(1) It is Saturday morning and
as you pry your eyes open, you
are looking for somethir\g to wear.
Do you:
a. put on what you wore to the
mixer the night before
b. put on what your roommate
wore to the mixer
c. throw on a pair of shorts and
a T shirt
d. wear your Sunday best for
Saturday brunch
(2) It is 95 degrees outside and
you can't decide what to wear to
class. Do you:
a. go ahead and start on you
winter wardrobe, better early then
never
b. wear nothing
c. wear a thin, comfortable,
classy outfit
d. don't go to class, and unless
you live in Curry or Frazier, aim
every fan in your suite at your bed
and go back to sleep.
(3) There is a lecture at Jarman
that your English teacher requires
you to go to. Do you:
a. wear bleached cut-off shorts,
a shirt you've had since fourth
grade and no shoes.
b. wear something classy, but
not overdoing it |
c. wear nothing |
d. don't go ii;
The answers; ^^
For question one, no one is go-l
ing to remember what you had ont'
last night, nor what you room-||
mate wore. But beer smells prettyj ?
bad after it has been sitting in a
shirt a while. Go ahead and throw|
on the shorts and the T shirt, don't^
wear Sunday's best to Saturday's|3
brunch.
For question two, don't wearf;"
your winter ward robe becaus^^
you are looking for a heatstroke^
Don't wear nothing because yotR|
are looking for the campus police^ij
Either wear something cool, coni4
fortable, and classy, or go back tcr
sleep. I
For question three, only do B i||
you want a decent grade.

translated when Pepsi first in-

U.S. businesses have lost in-
calculable billions of dollars

•MINORS ARE A MAJOR
TREND of the 1980's at Oklahoma
U. and elsewhere. The increase in

Deing attributed, by OU officials,
:o the "more sophisticated"
iemands of employers. The of-
icials say that while minors were
Aridely ignored during the 1970's

Summer Tapping
In
France
by John Tipton
How would you like to have the
experience of your lifetime and get
credits for it? If you have a free
month this coming summer and
have had three semesters of college
French then you're just about
ready to go.
Longwood College offers a pro-
gram which enables a student to
improve his French by living his
French, too.
THe cost for the program is
$1300. Which may seem like a lot
to spend in a month, however; it
will be worth far more. The abili-
ty to speak two languages fluent-
ly as well as abroad will score high
with prospective employers. The
costs include class, transportation,
and room and board. Students
stay in a dormitory in Toulousse
with students from France.
The program consists of an in-
tensive study of the French lang-
uage which earns the student three
credits. For the cost of summer
school credits at Longwood the
student may also do an inde-
pendent study in his major for up
to three additional credits. Classes
meet five days a week. There are
over six hours of class per day
with nights left open for studying.
There ig time for day excursions
on the weekends. The plane tick-
ets are open so the student may
spend time traveling in Europe
after the session before returning
home.
French students hold social
events in honor of the Longwood
students throughout their stay.
A Longwood student may also
study abroad through another col-
lege's program (for instance,
Belgium for a semester through
VPl or France for a semester
through James Madison).
At Longwood there are some'
direct programs in which the stu-
dent may study abroad in Spain
and Germany. It is not requried to
have had college courses of
Spanish or German to participate
in these programs. The classes are
taught in English but any know-
ledge of the languages would pro-
ve helpful once out of the
classroom.
Students experience intensive
classes at the Goethe Institute, a
German language institute. In
Spain studies carry on at For-
sprov. The classes offered deal
with government and politics.
Giest tapping was Wednesday,
September 11, at a special dinner
honoring the newly tapped
members. After dinner at a
candlelight ceremony 13 seniors
were welcomed into the honorary
leadership organization. The new
members are Fran Walker, Amy
Ethridge, Suzanne Piotrowski,
Ken Vaiden, Toby Emert, Dee
Booker, Hope King, Benji Smith,
Karen Moye, Garth Wentzel,
Renay Bradshaw, Tammy Zirkle
and Mable Hamlette.
Players Cast
New Students
Melisa Gibbs
The Longwood Players are now
rehearsing for their first of four
shows this season. The play,
"Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward,
was labeled as an "impossible
farce" during its tenure on Broad-
way. It will be presented in Jarman
Auditorium from October 9-12.
Dr. Patton Lockwood, Director,
has cast several new students for
this show.
Robin Martin, Kim Tally, Laura
Boyett and Sandra Clayton will all
give debut performances on the
Jarman Stage. Robin, an educa-
tion major, will protray Ruth.
Kim, an English major, will pro-
tray the role of Elvira. Laura, a
History and Government major
will protray the role of Madame
Arcarti. Sandra, an English major,
will protray the role of Edith.
"Blithe Spirit" is a three-act play
with a small cast. Each role pre-
sents quite a challenge for these
young actresses. The Longwood
Players promise another enjoyable
night of theater.

SPIKERS FALL TO CHOWAN
Chowan pinned a pair of defeats
on the Longwood women's
volleyball team Saturday after-
noon in Lancer Hall, winning the
first match 15-9, 15-4 and the se-
cond 15-5, 15-8.
The Lady Lancers play at
Randolph-Macon College Friday
night at 6:30 in this week's action,
seeking to improve their 0-2
record.
Coach Linda Elliott said her
team received praise from the
Chowan coach following Satur-
day's action. "The Chowan coach
said Longwood looked better than
ever in the 10 years her teams have
played against us," said Elliott.
"Our players reached a lot of goals
that I set for them and the reserves
off the bench showed a lot of spirit
and effort," said Elliott.
LONGWOOD SPORTS NEWS
This week Longwood faces
Newport News Apprentice
Wednesday at home with a 4 p.m.
starting time and then hosts the
Southside Virginia Soccer Tourna-
ment Saturday and Sunday with
Hampden-Sydney. Saturday,
Hampden-Sydney plays Shenan-
doah at 12 noon and the Lancers
battle Slippery Rock at 2. The
consolation and championship
games will be at 12 noon and 2
p.m. Sunday afternoon. Slippery
Rock won the title a year ago,
beating the Lancers 4-0 in the
opening round.
After the way Longwood has
dominated over the past three
years, perhaps the Retriver Classic
should be renamed the "Lancer In-
vitational". The Lancers are 6-0 in
the event and have outscored the
opposition 20-1 in those six games.
The Lancers, now 3-0 and rank-
ed 13th in Division II, blanked a
solid Charleston (WV) team 3-0
Saturday in the tournament's
opening round. Sunday,
Longwood dispatched host UMBC
3-0 to claim the Retriever title.
Junior goalkeeper Rob Liessem
and midfielder Mahfoud Kyoud
led the Lancer victories Saturday
and Sunday.
""Mahfoud was the class of the
whole thing," said coach Rich
Posipanko. '"He was doing things
on the field that no one else coul9
even thing about. Rob was
unbelievable. He really takes
charge out there."
For the record, Kyoud had an
assist in Saturday"s win and a goal
in Sunday's victory while Liessem
had 11 saves in the two games.
Senior John Kennen had a fine
tournament with a goal and three
assists. Mark McArdle and Tim
Ford had a goal and an assist each,
and Jeff Robinson and Mark
Kremen had a gOal each.
"We're playing pretty good
right now," said Posipanko. "On
paper, we should be favored in
this week's game, but we can't let
down.

Lancer Cafe
opens
By Kim Deaner
The Lancer Cafe grand opening
could not be postponed another
day, as fate would have it, the
festive ribbon cutting took place
as scheduled on September 20.
Garth Wentzel, president of SGA,
said, "Fm glad I was able to
come in here before I became an
alumni." This appeared to be the
general consensus of the crowd;
they are sorry about the delay,
but pleased with the $160,000
result.
Those attending included
Farmville Mayor Crute, Dr. Sue
Saunders, Dean of Students Paul
Streiffolino, Director of Student
Union, Darcie Brackett,
President of Student Union, Rick
Johnson, Director of ARA Dining
Services, Bob Cottrell, Mgr.
Lancer Cafe, and Garth Wentzel,
President of SGA.
The evening began with free
baked potatoes, and pizza. At 8:00

In a decisive move to establish
the authority of student-run
disciplinary boards, the Student
Government Association passed
a motion last Thursday stating
that Barb Gorski could no longer
sit as advisor to both Honor
Board and Judicial Board
hearings.
"It was felt by a majority of the
Student Senate," stated SGA
President Garth Wentzel, "that
the position of Judicial Affairs
Coordinator was a conflict of
interest with the position of
advisor." Wentzel went on to say
that the Board should run without
her or not at all until a faculty
advisor could be appointed.
Gorski, as Judicial Affairs
Coordinator, is responsible for
the administrative duties of the
Honor-Judicial Boards. In the
eyes of the Student Senate,
Gorski appointed herself to the
position.
To remedy the situation, the
SGA has sent letters to faculty
members seeking a new advisor
and hope to have one sometime
next week.
Rick Johnson was there for all
the fun, he said he felt things
were going well, and the delay in
the opening of the lounge area
was because he wanted to
achieve the "Grand Opening
effect" by opening both sides at
once.

ByS.G.andP.R.
In the press conference
following the dethroning of
boxing king, Urry Holmes, the
public had an opportunity to see
the true character of this
upstanding individual. Holmes
displayed tact, grace, poise and
devastating wit in his con-
versation following his defeat
at the hands of light-heavyweight
Michael Spinks, Saturday night.
When asked how he felt about
falling short of the deceased
Rocky Marciano's record of
forty-nine successful title
defenses, Mr. Holmes cleverly
replied, "Rocky couldn't hold my
jockstrap." Rumor has it that
President Reagan is seeking Mr.
Hohnes' advice in regard to the
upcoming summit talks. Mr.
Hobnes has already accepted an
invitation to be the master of
ceremonies at this fall's Oxford
debate finals.
In addressing the late
Marciano's brother, Peter,
Holmes conveyed a sense of tact
with the classy statement,
"Peter, you're just a free-loader
living off your dead brother. In
light of his eloquence, Mr.
Holmes has been nominated to be
Chairman of the United States
Bureau of Protocol.
Mr. Holmes' somewSat
pungent remarks bordered on
being offensive. Holmes
summoned all of his oratorical
skills to console Peter Marciano
j and stated, "Sonny, is that your
name? . . . Peter, if I have hurt
you, so +&— 8$+ ! what!"
Mr. Holmes has chosen an
opportune time to reveal his true
nature since, as of Saturday
night, he is a washed-up,
unemployed disgrace to his sport.

Rotunda moves
back to
The Herald
VOTE
The Rotunda encourages all students to vote
in the up-coming elections. Absentee ballots may
be obtained at the Farmville Courthouse.
By Michael T. Clements
After almost a year's break in
what had been tradition for some
fifty years, the Rotunda has
decided to move back to The
Farmville Herald printers. The
problem all began when BiU
Wall, General Manager of The
Herald, refused to print an
editorial entitled, "Bypasses . . .
One toke over the line . . ." by
last year's editor-in-chief, Jeff
Abernathy. In the editorial
Abernathy used questionable
language to explain fraternity
and sorority pledging and the
Greek system. Since termination
of the contract on September 17,
1984, the Rotunda has been
juggled between three different
printers — The last being The
Amelia Bulletin Monitor. When
asked the reason for the change,
Frank Raio, present editor-in-
chief, stated, "I started at
Amelia because I felt that the
print-type was more attractive
than that at The Herald; as it
turned out though, it seemed
Amelia was training new
typesetters. I mean it was worse
than any high school paper.
There were 'typos' everywhere
and one advertiser even refused
to pay for an ad because there
were eleven errors." Raio
seemed to be confident about his
decision when he remarked, "I
have talked things over with Bill
Wall and feel certain that Mr.
Wall and myself hold the same
views about censorship and
obscenity. Things will work out
fine." So all you loyal Rotunda
readers, the change should make
this issue a real keeper.

Since the Student Government Association has taken decisive
action to remove Barb Gorski from her posts as judicial and honor
board advisor, it is no longer necessary for me to rage about this
issue.
Nevertheless, it is important for the Longwood community to
know what the deal was.
Barb Gorski, in the ever-changing administrative scheme of
things, has been assigned the duty of judicial affairs coordinator.
The judicial affairs coordinator, according to the student handbook
(p. 69), "will review each case and nnake a referral to the ap-
propriate hearing board or take administrative action." She com-
piles the facts of the case, decides if the case should go to the hearing
stage, and if so, which board the case should go to. The coordinator
then puts together a handout for the board members to review
before the hearing. The role of the judicial affairs coordinator should
end at this point. The students elected to the boards now hear the
case, decide whether the accused is responsible or not; if found
responsible, the students of the board choose a sanction for the
student, a punishment. Last year, when I was on the judicial board,
sanctions ranged anywhere from a verbal warning or educational
task (researching and writing an essay on fire safety, for
example), to suspension from school.
Everything these student boards do, the findings and sanction,
are carefully documented and sent (witli a tape recording of all that
has happened), to the Dean of Students for review. The Dean may
then accept the recommendations of the boards or reject all
recommendations and make up new ones.
Most everybody is happy with this system, as this is the
generally accepted way that most colleges do this type of thing.
It is called a student-run system. Tine student part of the system
only includes the actual hearing. Barb Gorski has seen fit to bring
administrative input to the hearing. Tliis is highly irregular, if not
uncool.
This situation was brought to my attention by board members
who told me that Gorski was "playing the prosecutor" at the
hearings. Gorski herself told me that she was in fact speaking at the
hearings, "playing the devil's advocate," forcing some board
members to look at points of view that they hadn't considered
before. Gorski sees her current role as that of a model for the board
On The Disciplinary System
members to follow. She is "training" the board members.
This simply does not flush right. On the-job-training during real
cases? If the boards are not trained, stop all the cases and train
them during mock trials or something. We can't play around with
real students facing real trouble.
What kind of training is required here anyway? All we want
from these student board members is good judgement. How do you
teach "good judgement?" Who decides what "good judgement" is?
Who is to say banning Thursday night parties "good judgement"?
Maybe. How long does it take to learn "good judgement" when the
classes involve watching Barb Gorski's "good judgement?"
Gorski told me that the board members must be familiar with
the Kohlberg personality types in order to better know which sanc-
tions will be effective with different people. This must be taught to
board members. When asked, one honor board member said "Yea,
she said something about that." One judicial board member said
"Kohlberg, doesn't he play for the Yankees?" I guess the Kohlberg
theory is on the agenda for next week's role model-lecture, because
these board members are clue-less. I submit that even without
Kohlberg, these board members will dish out fair sanctions that fit
the violation. I would also guess that half of the U. S. Supreme Court
judges do not know Kohlberg from Dave Winfield either.
Gorski went on to say that if the board screws up, and lawyers
arrive on the scene, the school will be in trouble. Is that a joke or
what?
The Dean of Student reviews each case, she has the authority to
change each case. This is the school's safeguard against law-suits.
The Dean of Students would never allow an unfair decision by her. If
she does, the heat is on her. The school likes it that way and the
students like it that way.
The advisors to these boards should be faculty members or
R.E.C.'s, it doesn't matter which. But the advisor surely should not
be the judicial affairs coordinator, who already has a major in-
fluence on the system.
Let the hardworking student board members make their own
judgements. The administration has the final say anyway.
I encourage every faculty member who is approached by the S.
G.A. to carefully consider spending 3-4 hours per week as an advisor
to one of the boards. We need your help and "good judgement."

Sitting Pretty
(Or is that a one-eyed Cat?)
By Bruce Souza
It is a well-known fact that the
average person spends one-third
of their life sleeping. What isn't
known is that the average person
also spends one-tenth to on^
twelfth of their lives standing
near or sitting on a toilet. The
variation in the time above is
subject to differences in diet and
geography. Some residents of the
island resort of San I
Clemente, California say that;
some residents there haven'tl
used toilets in years. While a;
recent cross section survey of^
Longwood students has indicated
a much higher than average use.
It would seem, therefore that
proper bathroom selection
becomes an important matter.
It's an issue we seem to ignore in,
our daily treks across campus.
We tend to prefer convenience
over variety and entertainment
in our most intimate relaxed
moments. To simply list the best
Johnnys would be dull. So, first,
the criteria and crucial
background information must be
disseminated to prospective
porcelain connoisseurs.
To many of us the bathroom
and library have become
synonymous terms, especially in
the private home. Unfortunately,
the public lavatory provides us
with the bound literature to
peruse. This is not to say that
public toilets don't foster
own unique endeavors. For it is a
well-known fact that without
reading material in the stall
mankind will begin to write on
the wall. Personally, I don't view
bathroom graffiti as vandalism,
but more as a necessary cultural
bulletin board.
No one can deny that the stall
waii is a place for personal
expression. Where else can one
disseminate a libelous attack on a
person, organization, or race and
know that you're absolutely
safe from any possible
recriminations. What would
Freud have said about venting
aggressions while sitting on the
can? It would probably fit into the
anal-expulsive model, no pun
Intended, v
you may be lucky or unlucky
depending on your view to
surprise a member of the
opposite sex. This usually just
leads to a guilt trip, and not really
worth chancing it.
Arguably, the best pit stop on
campus may be the Grainger 2nd
floor men's room. I highly
recommend this to anybody with
sexual hangups or perverse
habits in general. Here we have
probably the highest ratio of
graffiti to the square foot on
campus, not to mention one of the
narrowest stalls on campus. The
wall is covered with everything
from sexual innuendo to sexual
misconception. I highly
reconmiend coming to this can
with a pen in hand. Also featured
in this John we have the sexually
explicit bondage and domination
cartoon, which is too racy to
comment on.
All right, all right, I know, cut
the B.S., and tell me the best
place to squat on campus. In all
seriousness this wasn't an easy
piece to write. I had to question
my journalistic integri^, and
make valid judgments based on
personal research. In
mathematical terms my
journalistic integrity can be
described as the null set, but my
research has been infallible. It
took a week, and some hasty
cross-campus walks in my quest
for the best thrones at Longwood.
Unfortunately, the inquiry
focuses on men's toilets, and is -
sexist in approach.
Thanks to A.R.A. most of us are
so regular we can set our watches
by the eating schedule. The
grimaces on many people's faces
as they leave the cafeteria
suggest only one thing:
immediate need of a latrine. Let
me suggest a nearby convenience
known as the President's
bathroom. It is located in East
Ruffner right by President
Greenwood's office. This place is
clean! Graffitti won't last 24

innovators," Tuner said, citing
the recent reinvention of putting
lettuce and tomato on a
hamburger.
Housing Director, Ric Weibl,
said, "We at the 'Wood have
always been innovators," citing
the efficiency and fairness of last
year's room draw. After a short
stint at the Farmville Motel and
the pre-planned freshman
attrition rate, McDonnies was
ready to move in early this week.
McDonnie big-wigs feel that
Longwood in Farmville is the
perfect place for the
Headquarters. "Farmville, gosh,
just the name of the town exudes
anonimity," Tuner said, "plus
there are simply jillions of cows
and cow-like animals around
here — Curry is dandy. You know
there isn't even a phone on the 9th
floor."
In cahoots with A.R.A.,
McDonnie's and Longwood
College have decided to offer a
new fast food curriculum. The
highlights of the program
include: FF 102 - "Types of
meat and reasonable
faxsimiles," FFV 269 - "Meat
Ethics, does four legs constitute a
cow," FF 455 - "Upper Level
Law Course — Is meat a
justiciable question; and has the
Supreme Court ever defined
"meat."
The Diary of
George the Geek
ByKimSetzer
Monday: Dear Diary,
Hi Diary! It's me, George.
What a beautiful day. I just love
Mondays. I just can't figure out
why everyone else on campus
hates Mondays. I love my
classes, I love my teachers!
Golly, I just think everything is
so neatto here at Longwood. I
love being a freshman. Well,
Diary, I have a Zoology lab. I just
love my Zoology lab.
Well, I'm back from Zoology
lab. Everything was great until
my glasses fell in the sulfuric
acid. Well, I did need a new pair.
The band-aid wasn't holding up
that well anyway. But I wonder if
my tongue is going to be alright.
Tuesday: Hey Diary!
How's tricks (new phrase I just
learned here at college). You
know diary, there is something
that I am totally confused about.
Who is this D. T. Bradley?
Everj'one says if you want a good
time, go to D. T. Bradley's.
Saturday night, I went to Cox, the
Cunninghams, Curry and Frazier
and looked on all the doors. No D.
T. Bradley. Then someone told
me to look on Main Street. What
dorm is on Main Street? Maybe
he lives off of campus.
Guess what? Diary, I am
becoming very radical. I decided
to I have a party in my room
Friday night. I am going to
! register it and everything.
Neatto, huh? I thought I would
i invite a few close friends over for
a chess tournament and maybe a
few crossword puzzles. How
exciting! I'm going to ride my
Huffy bike over to Safeway for
Cheetos and Cokes. How radical!
Wednesday: Hi Diary,
School is great. Two foreign
exchange students from
Afghanistan are coming. Yeah, I
know that they are my
roommates. But just wait we are
going to have a swell time
anyway. I decided that I want to
do an article for the Rotunda. I
am going to do a story about the
Alaskan Crab migration and
mating during mid-December.
That should be a juicy story. I
know Frank will just love it.
Maybe even a picture. Maybe
even my picture.
Well, the weekend is coming up
really fast. I still only have two
people coming to my party.
That's okay. They will be flocking
here when they hear about the
chess tournament. You know.
Diary, I knew the parking
situation was bad, but they
actually towed away my Huffy.
Can you believe that?
Friday: Well Diary,
I decided to go to something
called a mixer. The party sorta
fell through. The Afghanistans
had an emergency anti-nuclear
meeting. I really don't quite know
what a mixer is. But maybe if I
like it, I can go to a blender next
week. What do you think?
Sincerely Yours,
George

Advice from QiHy Bob ^^^ townie
Dear Billy Bob,
Q. How does Farmville rank on
the Russian's's priorities for
nuclear war hit list?
A: Weell, Farmville of course
is the capital of South Central
Virginia. That right there puts us
right up there. No doubt them
Shriners driving them little cars
around during last years
Christmas parade created a
ruckus with them kremlins. And
where do those AMC people get
off on calling a car a kremlin? No
wonder that model stunk.
Q: Billy Bob,
This fraternity guy keeps
bugging me for a date. I don't like
him. What should I do?
A : WeU, the first thing I'd do is
I'd get you in my pickup truck,
oh that's right I'm answering
your question. Well, like my
grand-pappy used to say, if you
want to keep the rocKter out of the
hen house, tie his cocky-self to a
tree. But that ain't gonna help
you none is it? Actually this is one
of them delicate-type matters.
Why don't you'all come around
my place and we'll handle this
personal-like. Bring some of your
friends, and I'll seminar you'all
on it.
Billy Bob,
Q: Please tell me your position
on the state of Apartheid.
A: Well, I'm glad you asked.
Back in '66 I played football for
Apartheid State, offensive line
you know. I'm not impartial
about discussing my college
career. I liked old A.S.U. up until
they went bilingual on me. I could
not stand them damn women,
their lips flappin' in the breeze.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This Is a test. This is only a test. This is a
test of the Emergency Publishing System. For
the next 4 sentences this paper will be con-
ducting a test for the Emergency Publishing
System. This Is only a test.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This has been a test for the Emergency
Publishing System. Had this been an actual
emergency situation, these sentences would
have been followed with advice to drop this
paper and run like hell.
They never did give them cuts
under their noses a chance to
heal. Often entertain the idea of
prolonging my education purely
on a short-term remedial basis of
course. But not as long as they
keep letting them women in
there.
Dear Billy Bob:
Q: How do you explain the
sudden weather change last week
where we went from an extreme
week of heat to instant winter.
A : It has something to do with a
Russian plot. You see, they have
installed and manned a space
station on the moon equipped
with large reflecting mirrors and
some real extra big
air conditioning units. There plot
was to evaporate large quantites
of the Nations water supply and
catch the condensation in big
plastic bags. These bags are then
frozen by the air conditioning
units and the result is either
rocheted back to the Motherland
or sold to other various
communist speaking countriei
for a large profit.
i You'all have a nice week now.
See ya next time.
Please send letters to: Billy

This is the last article I'm
writing on parking at Longwood
College. In this last article I hope
to inform you, humor you, and
finally tell you where to go.
To begin with, I was appointed
to the Parking Appeals
Committee. This committee
consists of two people in the
administration, two faculty
members, two day students, and
two dorm students. To date, the
total amount of tickets on appeal
for this semester are 61. We've
had two meetings this semester.
In addition to appeals we have
discussed lot changes and
problems with our map. The
biggest change from last year is
the Lankford parking lot has been
given to dorm students.
This has put many day.
students, that don't have early
classes, in the dreaded Wynne
lot. My only suggestion to the
day students is to try to get to
campus early. If you don't have
an early class; wear your hiking
boots. There is one mistake in the
color coded parking map that
was distributed. The map shows
that spaces are available in Her
lot for students. All spaces in Her
lot are for the faculty. The police
dept. also assures us that more
signs are going up.
In the first three weeks of
school 1000 tickets were issued by
the police officers. Of the 1000
given 148 were paid and 57 were
voided. Believe it or not all that
Healthy Eating Habits
By Barbara Agee
Come join in a weekly, one hour, discussion group beginning October
1st at 12 : 30 in Student Health.
Do you know your eating habits of today can lead to a chronic or
fatal disease in the future?
Do you know the difference between a saturated and polyun-
saturated fat?
Do you know what foods are high in cholesterol?
Do you know that feelings and emotions are major factors which
affect ones eating habits?
If you don't learn now what constitutes a healthy diet, when wiU
you?
If you are overweight, underweight or juat want to learn more about
nutrition and the factors affecting metabolism, then please join us on
the 1st of October at 12:30 in Student Health.
"But seriously folks" '°*"~'
eventually faculty space. If it's during the
week you should move your car
before 8:00 in the morning. Keep
in mind the police dept. does have
an escort service for people that
have to park in Wynne lot; late at
night.
My last word is on the parking
money the dept.
coUects in tickets and late fines
does not go back into the dept. It
goes back to the State of Va.
(Don't we pay enough taxes
already?). The best way to avoid
a ticket is to first spend $10.00 for
a parking sticker. Second, keep -
the color coded map in your car appeals. Personally I welcome
that you get when you buy tbe
sticker. Third, don't park in fire
zones unless you're driving a
firetruck. Finally, don't park in
the handicapped zones unless
you're really HANDICAPPED.
(Faking doesn't count ).
So, it's late at night, you can't
find a legal spot; you park in a
all student appeals for tickets
with a legitimate excuse. 2. Don't
base your appeal on, "not
knowing you were suppose to be
there." 1. Make sure your appeal
form is filled out completely. 3.
Don't say you never got a ticket,
the police dept. doesn't fib about
ticket distribution.
Some People Are Dying
To Know The Facts
About Eating Disorders.
The truth is, bulimia and anorexia nervosa are
being diagnosed at an almost epidemic rate. An
estimated 15 to 20 percent of all college women are
bulimic, and approximately one out of every'
100-250 young women suffer from anorexia.
People with bulimia go on periodic eating
binges, only to force up or "purge" their food later.
Anorectics typically starve themselves to as little as
65 percent of their normal body weight— or even
less.
Eating disorders are illnesses, ones that can
take over your life. But it doesn't have to be that
way— effective treatment can turn your life around.

SPORTS FEATURE
Frank Tennyson
FARMVILLE, VA. -
Everyone should have at least
one chance to live the life of
Walter Mitty. This summer
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Tennyson got his chance.
Tennyson, a 5-8 point guard on
Longwood's basketball team,
spent much of his summer in a
dream world. Tennyson worked
as a counselor at various
basketball camps and had the
chance to rub elbows with such
superstars as Ralph iSampson
and Michael Jordan.
With the help of Longwood
basketball coach Cal Luther,
Tennyson was originally
scheduled to work one week at
the James Madison Basketball
camp. But, he did such an
outstanding job at JMU that he
was asked to work at Ralph
Sampson's first camp the
following week in Harrisonburg.
At Madison, the counselors
spent the entire day refereeing
games. Tennyson did an
exceptional job and was selected
to officiate the championship
game.
Each night, after officiating as
many as seven or eight games,
the counselors held live
scrimmages until 11:30 or 12:00.
"It was intense, all out, hard-
nosed basketball," said
Tennyson.
It was Roger Bergey, Ralph
Sampson's high school coach
from Harrisonburg, who was
impressed with Tennyson's work
at the JMU camp and asked him
to work the next week at Ralph's
camp.
While there, Tennyson roomed
with former Highland Springs
High teanunate and UVA star
By Tim Fitzgerald
Ricky Stokes. "We stayed with
Ralph, and we became friends.
He's really a great guy. Every
morning he would spend about a
half hour giving the kids free
shirts, shoes, sweats, basketballs
and other items. He was always
there for the kids. He never
missed a session."
Each counselor, most of whom
were from Divison I schools, was
assigned to coach a team, and
Tennyson's team won the camp
championship. "It was a really
big event. We were on TV, and we
got a lot of recognition. I was
really happy for the kids," said
Tennyson.
As at Madison, night hours
were reserved for live
scrimmages by the counselors.
"I improved a lot playing with
those guys. When you play above
your level you've got to improve
or get out."
After showing his playing and
coaching abilities, Tennyson was
in high demand. "I had the
opportunity to work at a different
camp everyday for the rest of the
summer, but I couldn't do it
because of my job at the Boys
Club of Richmond."
For Tennyson it was a sununer
of nothing but basketball. By the
time he came back to Longwood,
he had met such stars as Ralph
Sampson, Michael Jordan, John
Lucas, Alex English, Calvin
Murphey, Othel Wilson, Johnny
Dawkins, Ricky Stokes and many
others. "Being around these
people and playing with the
people I played with has really
helped my confidence
offensively. I've always been
consistent on defense, but now I
am more confident in my ability
to score."
According to coach Cal
Luther, "I wish every player
could have these experiences to
help his confidence the way they
have obviously helped Frank's."
Last season as a junior, Tennyson
averaged 3.8 points per game
while leading the Lancers in field
goal percentage (.556) and
finishing third in free throw
percentage (.730). Longwood,
however, experienced its first
losing season in six years.
After a summer of preparation,
Longwood's Walter Mitty, Frank
Tennyson, is ready for the
challenges that lie ahead in the
Mason-Dixon Conference. "I
don't want to make a definite
prediction, but I feel that we can
win the conferences. I have
confidence in our recruits and our
returning players. I don't want to
sound over-confident, but I think
this can be our best year ever."
Soccer
Kyoud, a junior who keys the
Longwood attack with his passes
from midfield, headed up the 11-
man All-Tournament team. The
tournament MVP was joined by
Lancer teammates Mike Harris,
the tournament Most Valuable
Defender, back Shawn McArdle,
and forward Tim Ford on the all-
tourney squad.
While T gwood's tournament
games reared to be relatively
even battles according to the
scores, the Lancers actually
dominated both Slippery Rock
and Hampden-Sydney.
Longwood had 30 shots to
Slippery Rock's 9 in the first
round and 2B shots to Hampden-
Sydney' s 2 in the tournament
championship game. In building
a 6-0 record, the Lancers have
out-scored their opponents 20-6.
Staked to a 2-0 lead on goals by
Mark Kremen and Tim Ford,
Longwood had to go overtime
when The Rock came up with two
goals which bounced off Lancer
defenders. Another goal by Ford,
who has five with the two assists
thus far, in the first overtime and
a score by sophomore Chris
Erard-Coupe in the second extra
period, gave Longwood the win.
The Lancers avenged a 4-0
setback to Slippery Rock in last
year's tourney.
Senior John Kennen tied a
school mark with three assists in
Saturday's victory.
Junior midfielder Mahfoud
Kyoud has led the Longwood
team to two tournament
championships and five straight
victories over the past eight days.
For his performance, the 5-9, 160-
pounder has been named -
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period September
16-23. Player of the Week is
chosen by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
Hockey
Senior forward Sue Groff
moved into second place on
Longwood's all-time scoring list
and the Longwood field hockey
team picked up two wins in a
successful weekend of action in
Boone, North Carolina Friday
and Saturday.
Longwood shut-out host
Appalachian State 1-0 Friday
behind a goal by senior Sharon
Bruce and Saturday morning the
Lady Lancers beat the University
of the South (Sewanee) 3-1 as
Groff knocked in all three scores.
With the goals, Groff increased
her career total to 37, moving
past Carol Filo (35) and into
second place in career goals
behind Terry Voit (93). Groff has
now scored nine goals in helping
Coach Sue Finnie's team get off
to a 5-1 start.
Longwood has now outscored
its six opponents by a whopping
20-3 margin, but coach Finnic has
also been pleased with her team's
defense.
While Groff and Bruce shared
the offensive player of the game
award in Friday's victory, senior
Tanuny Marshall was tabbed the
defensive player of the game.
Marshall was credited with 16
interceptions and had a crucial
save on a corner. Claye
Conkwright had 20 interceptions
and Lesley Rapoza had 17.
"We're playing very well
now," said Finnic. "We had a
great game Friday in terms of
passing. Our timing was superb."
This week Longwood entertains
Mary Washington Wednesday at
4:00 and has a pair of games
scheduled at James Madison
over the weekend. Friday at 6:00
Appalachian will be set for a
rematch and Saturday morning
the Lady Lancers will face
Radford.
Golfers Volleyball
Plagued by a slow start, the
Longwood men's golf team
finished 16th out of 17 teams in
the VMI and Washington & Lee
Invitational Tournament over the
weekend.
Longwood carded rounds of 335
and 328 for a 36-hole total of 663.
Elon won the event with a 298-294-
592, topping seven Division I
teams. This week, the Lancer
golfers host Chowan, Liberty
University and Hampden-Sydney
Thursday at Longwood Golf
Course for a four-team match.
"We didn't play that well
overall, but I was pleased with Ty
Bordner's first round score,"
said Coach Steve Nelson. "I think
if we can get everybody playing
up to their capabilities at the
same time, we'll be okay."
Longwood's volleyball team
had a shot at winning all three
games Friday night, but came
away a loser as homestanding
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College took a 15-7, 15-10 and 15-11
victory in Lynchburg.
The Lady Lancers trailed 7-0
before rallying in the first game,
were ahead 10-4 in the second
contest and cut a 14-1 deficit to 14-
11 before bowing in the third
game.
"We played better than in our
opening loss to Chowan, but we
lost a lot of points on serve-
receive," said coach Linda
Elliott. "The biggest problem we
have is we just don't know how to
win."

Number Four
Sean Marsee's
Ambassadors:
Smokeless Death ^ongwood's Leaders
The Angry Red Spot with its
hard white core was the size of a
half-dollar. It belonged, thought
Dr. Carl Hook, in the mouth of a
75-year-old who had been dipping
snuff since the age of three, not
on the tongue of the high school
boy who sat across from him.
"I'm sorry, Sean," said the Ada,
Okla., throat specialist. "It
doesn't look good. We'll have to
do a biopsy."
Sean Marsee was stunned. He
didn't smoke or drink. You
couldn't and win 28 medals
running anchor leg on the 400-
meter relay. A tapered five-foot-
five, 130 pounds, Sean had always
taken excellent care of his body:
watching his diet, lifting weights,
running five miles a day six
months of the year.
Now this. How could it be?
True, he was never without a dip.
He used up a can of snuff, a type
of smokeless tobacco, every day
and a half, holding it in his mouth
to get a nicotine jolt without
smoking. It was popular among
high-school athletes who didn't
want to break training. "But I
didn't know snuff could be that
bad for you," Sean said. "No
warning label or anything. And
all those ads on TV . . ."
Eighteen-year-old Sean had
been secretly using "smokeless"
— chewing tobacco briefly, then
snuff — since he was 12. His
mother, Betty, a registered
nurse, had hit the roof when she
found out. Didn't he know tobacco
was hazardous, smoke or no
smoke?
Now Dr. Hook was saying,
"I'm afraid we'll have to remove
that part of your tongue, Sean."
The high-school senior was
silent. "Can I still run in the state
track meet this weekend?" he
finally asked. "And graduate
next month?" Dr. Hook nodded.
On May 16, 1983, the operation
was performed at the Valley
View Hospital in Ada. More of
Sean's tongue had to be removed
than Dr. Hook had anticipated.
Worse, the tumor biopsy was
positive. Once the swelling in his
mouth went down, Sean agreed to
see a radiation therapist.
Before therapy could begin,
however, a newly swollen lymph
node was found in Sean's neck, an
ominous sign that the cancer had
spread. Radical neck surgery
would now be needed. Gently Dr.
Hook recommended the severest
option: removing the lower jaw
on the right side as well as all
lymph nodes, muscles and blood
vessels except the life-sustaining
carotid artery. There might be
some sinking but the chin would
support the general planes of the
face.
Betty Marsee began to cry.
Sean was being asked to approve
his own mutilation — Sean who
was so fastidious about his
appearance that he'd even
swallow his dip rather than he
caught spitting tobacco juice.
They sat in silence for ten
minutes. Then, dimly, she heard
him say, "Not the jawbone. Don't
take the jawbone."
"Okay, Sean," Dr. Hook said
softly. "But the rest; that's the
least we should do." •
On June 20 Sean underwent a
second operation, which lasted
eight hours. That same month 150
students and teachers at Talihina
High assembled to honor their
most outstanding athlete. Sean
could not be there to receive his
award.
Miraculously, Sean snapped
back. When Dr. Hook saw him
that August, he showed no trace
of his ordeal except the white
incision scar. Five weeks of
radiation therapy were behind
him. Sean greeted his doctor with
enthusiasm, plainly happy to be
alive.
But in October, however, Sean
started having headaches. A
CAT scan showed twin tentacles
of fresh malignancy, one
snaking down his back, the other
curling under the base of his
brain.
Sean had his third operation in
November 1983. It was the
jawbone operation he had feared
— and more. After ten hours on
the operating table, he had four
huge drains coming from a foot-
long crescent wound, a breathing
tube sticking out of a hole in his
throat, a feeding tube through his
nose, and two tubes in his arm
veins. Sean looked at Betty as if
to say. My God, Mom, I didn't
know it was going to hurt like
this.
The Marsees brought Sean
home for Christinas. Even then,
he remained optimistic, until the
day in January when he found
lumps in the left side of his neck.
Later, Betty answered when the
hospital phoned the results of
another biopsy. Sean knew the
news was bad by her silent tears
as she listened. When she hung
up, he was in her arms, and for
the first time since the awful
nightmare started, grit-tough
Sean Marsee began to sob.
After several minutes, he
straightened and said, "Don't
worry. I'm going to be fine." Like
the winning runner he was, he
still had faith in his finishing
kick.
Almost to the end Sean insisted
on caring for himself, packing his
wound and cleaning and
reinserting his breathing tube
several times a day.
One day Sean confessed to
Betty that he still craved snuff. ' 'I
catch myself thinking," he said,
"I'll just reach over and have a
dip." Then he added that he
wished he could vLsit the high
school locker room to show the
athletes "what you look like when
you use it." His appearance, he
knew, would be persuasive. A
classmate who had come to see
him fainted dead away.
One friend who didn't flinch
was John O'Dell, then 29, a
former football player from the
local Fellowship of Christian
Athletes. John asked Sean, when
he became unable to speak, if
he'd like to pencil something to
share with young athletes
"later." Sean wrote two brief
messages. One was a simple
declaration of Christian faith.
The other was a plea: Don't dip
snuff.
Early on February 25, 1984,
Sean smiled a tired smile at his
sister Marian and flashed an
index finger skyward. An hour
later he died.
There are now 6 million to 10
million consumers of snuff, and
sales are rising 8 percent
annually. "The more I dipped,
the more I liked it," said Paul
Hughes, 18, a six-four football co-
captain from North Easton,
Mass. "Makes you feel — you
know, calms you down. When I
tried to stop, I couldn't." Alan
Lawrence, his coKraptain of the

Remember when you came to
Longwood your junior or senior
year of high school for a tour
which was given by a student? Or
what about the student from
Longwood who came to your
school on college night? These
students are Longwood
Ambassadors. The purpose of
Longwood Ambassadors is to
involve selected students in the
goals of advancing Longwood
College's image and support. As
an organization, the
Ambassadors have been
designated as official host and
hostesses for all college relations
and activities. In addition, they
provide the leadership for
campus tours and student
recruitment programs. They
provide the volunteer person
power for the alumni and
parent's annual fund phone-a-
thon.
The Longwood Ambassadors
are available to all organizations
and departments as official host
and hostesses for all Longwood
activities. A long-range goal of
the Ambassadors is to be the
leadership group of the campus
that builds student pride,
involvement and support for the
benefit of the institution. In
addition, the Ambassadors intend
to expand their fund-raising
activities to gain financial
support from entities other than
alumni and parents for
generating school funds for the
students of Longwood.
The membership of the
Longwood Ambassadors consists
of a maximum of 65 members.
Right now, there are
approximately 50 members. This
fall, 21 new members joined the
organization. There are
membership campaigns at the
beginning of each semester. It
was established in the Fall of
1982. The requirements for
membership are:
( 1 ) Must be a currently enrolled
student
2) Must have a cumulative
grade point average of no less
than 2.3
(3) Must have been enrolled in
Longwood for at least one
semester with exception of
incoming transfer students
There are ten students on an
executive council and there are
five advisors. These advisors
include: Don Lemish, Vice-
President of Institutional
Advancement; Barbara
Stonikinis, Co-ordinating
advisor; Candy Dowdy of
Admissions; Nancy Shelton,
Alumni and Paula Clay,
Institutional Advancement.
Don Lemish, of the
Ambassadors, states,
"Ambassadors are students who
want to advance this college and
want to give of themselves for the
benefit of the institution as a
whole." Ambassadors are
involved in every official social
function on and off the campus.
They personally call every
student who is officially admitted
to Longwood College. They call
12,000 people asking for pledges
to the college. One of the greatest

My Page
On Our Rotunda
Recently the various schweenies of the Longwood community
have reared back on their collective hind legs to shout "Hey, The
Rotunda sucks!" "Trash!" and "Hey Raio, Wasamatta you? Why
come such an abundance of garbage in The Rotunda?"
Illiterate students write letters to our staff complaining that
they cannot tell when we are serious. Faculty members, apparently
unprepared for a more relevant topic, lecture their classes on the
sorry state of The Rotunda. Even the administration has let their
feelings be known; a Rotunda staff member has had his room
searched for bathroom graffiti and I have been informed that The
Rotunda books must be audited on the first day of every month.
On the other hand, hundreds of students have approached our
staff with compliments and this week we will be increasing the
number of copies printed by 400 over last year's average.
It seems that a love-hate situation has developed. Isn't that
neato?
What follows may seem to be an excuse for why The Rotunda is
such a rag, it is not; the small Rotunda staff is proud of each issue
published this year — just because we don't send copies along with
our resumes, doesn't mean that we are not proud.
Last spring, when I was sentenced to the position of Editor-in-
Chief, I began to picture the new, improved Rotunda. We would
double the advertising rates, quadruple the advertising staff,
thereby having more money for more pages. We would have a pull-
out humor section every three weeks or so. The Cowpie. I set out
recruiting staff, three staffs actually, one for business, one for
Cowpie and one (the biggest and most important) for news.
The business end has been great. Although still losing money on
each issue, every week of sales breaks the record set the week
before. We may even have enough money to print a paper every
week. What a concept!
The Cowpie staff, although small, is hard-working enough to get
the job done. Sure, some of the material in Cowpie may warrant a
"PG" rating, but we're all of age here and hey, that crap is funny.
Then there is the news staff. This group is potentially over 3,000
strong. It includes students, faculty and administration. What I get
from this group is called "diddly-squat." Sparky Lyle defines this
term as a pitcher who doesn't have good stuff. To me it meant no
paper last week. This problem is faced not only by The Rotunda;
apathy is a Longwood problem. The SGA battles it every day.
Apathy, not alcohol, is the reason why students miss class, don't get
involved, don't take pride in Longwood. Heck, we don't even have a
yearbook!
As editor, I must decide what gets printed. My choices are
limited. If you had a choice between blank space on the front page or
a picture of a toilet on a sign, which would you choose? Do you think
there would have been a toilet on page one if I had an interview with
the new Dean of Students (or any of the other 40 stories assigned had
materialized)? Of course not. I have been forced to use what was
meant for Cowpie to fill space in The Rotunda.
I don't walk around saying, "hey we need something stupid for
this week's front page." And unlike last year's editor, I do not have
the unlimited energy to write half of the copy. Frankly, I'm begin-
ning to wonder why I spend 30 hours per week putting out a paper for
you soft-headed, pencil-neck ignoramuses anyway. Maybe it's not
worth the convertible Mercedes that The Rotunda is buying for me
next week (in the audit, it will look like "office supplies").
It is only possible for us to print what is written for us. And
considering the personality types that make up The Rotunda staff,
an occasional tasteless humor section is inevitable. I cannot be
removed as editor (as some have suggested) unless I "substantially
disrupt" the learning process of Longwood, the 1st amendment of
the U. S. Constitution sees to that. So don't even think about it. You
couldn't find anybody to be editor anyway.
Simply put: If you don't like what you read, write. If you don't
write, shutup, because you are the cause of the problem.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor,
As members of last year's
Alcohol Task Force, we feel
compelled to reply to the recent
Rotunda editorial attack on our
committee's recommendations
and the particularly
objectionable remarks directed
against our committee chair,
Barb Gorski. Unfortunately Mr.
Raio's column contained so many
errors and distortions that space
will permit us to point out only
the most offensive.
1. The editorial claimed that
the committee was dominated by
"jughead" administrators. Mr.
Raio attended at least two of our
meetings before apparently
losing interest. He should
remember that student
government leaders comprised
the largest element of the
committee, while faculty and
administrative staff (including
Amy Thompson, then R.E.C. for
Frazer) made up the rest. On the
question of eliminating Thursday
night Lower Dining Hall parties,
the vote was unanimous.
2. The editorial charged that
the committee was bullied and
manipulated by "Soviet-style"
tactics. Such a claim is absurd.
On the contrary, even when we
disagreed with Barb Gorski on
particular issues, we could not
have been other than impressed
by her fairness and concern for
the welfare of students.
3. Mr. Raio seems to believe
that we were given a choice of
banningltegs or Thursday night
parties. Again the claim is
baseless; the issues were entirely
separate and at no time did the
committee chair or any member
suggest a linkage.
4. The editorial charged that
we have created a tangle of new
alcohol regulations to further
burden the lives of Longwood
students. At last there is a shred
of truth to the claim. The
committee's task was to make
our alcohol regulations conform
to those being instituted by the
state. Had we banned kegs from
the dormitories altogether, we
could have put in place
regulations which would have
been much clearer and less
complicated than those finally
recommended by the committee.
Yet the committee was swayed
by the outpouring of student
sentiment against the elimination
of kegs. Consequently we
struggled to form what are
admittedly complicated
regulations, but ones which are
as liberal as Virginia alcohol
laws will allow. Longwood's
alcohol policy is as lenient as any
in the state of Virginia and more
lenient than those of most
academic institutions. It should
be noted that some of the nation's
leading institutions have banned
alcohol entirely on their
campuses, e.g.. University of
Maryland, University of
Wisconsin.

Editor's Reply:
1. "Mr. Raio" (Hike the sound
of that) attended one meeting as
a representative of the SGA, I
went to make sure that you guys
weren't doing anything radical.
You weren't, those meetings
were boring, until that fateful
meeting shortly after dawn on
reading day.
2. No Comment.
3. I am no idiot. I would never
write such a harsh editorial
without checking my information
with at least two sources. This
week my two task force member
sources have told me that they
stick to their stories. I stick to my
story.
4. Janet Greenwood says the
same thing. I still do not un-
derstand how outlawing Thurs-
day night parties is in com-
pliance with any state law. A
Virginia state agency (A. B.C.)
sells liquor on Thursday evenings
and all the bars are open. What's
the deal? Maybe I am an idiot,
will someone please point out
this elusive Virginia law to me?
In sum, I am glad that you
guys took the time to give the

Oktoberfest
By BRUCE SOUZA
It was so hot he was wearing
his Bermuda shorts. Around his
neck were a cheap pair of
binoculars, and clutched in his
right hand were two folding deck
chairs. He and Jane would sit and
watch while the kids would stand
or sit on the grass. Five minutes
later John was trying not to trip
over his drooping lower lip.
Meet John D. Doe, an average
income Virginian with three kids,
one a freshman attending
Longwood College. This was the
first family visit to Longwood,
and by 10 a.m. that Saturday
morning they were on their way.
As John was driving he thought
"I finally get to see where all my
extra bucks go."
They arrived just in time to get
front row seats for the 1984
Oktoberfest parade. It was called
the OOOP parade - "Our
Outrageous Oktoberfest
Parade." It was soon after the
parade started that the problem
with John's lip began to occur. It
was soon after the parade started
that the parade ended! Whether
or not the last "parade" was
actually a parade is still being
debated by the Guinness Book of
World Records. The only thing
"Outrageous" about last year's
parade was its shocking
shortness, and its lack of any
, form or function. The parade
lasted at most 5 minutes, and was
largely comprised of students in
street clothes who looked like
they had been bribed to
participate in the unsightly
debacle. Then, to add insult to
injury, the organizers of
Oktoberfest spent a good portion
of 30 minutes congratulating and
thanking everyone in sight for a
job well done.
The purpose here is not to
attack the members of Geist or
those who spend considerable
time and effort to organize
Oktoberfest. They were plagued
like The Rotunda with the job of
trying to motivate people while
offering no material rewards for
time and effort. Nevertheless, 1
question the institution of
Oktoberfest itself. Certainly it is
painfully clear that Oktoberfest
is used as a substitute for what
many schools refer to as
homecoming. Like other schools,
we here at the "Wood" also need
a time when the alumni can
return, parents can visit, and
students can enjoy a mid-
semester break above the
average weekend. So, sometime
ago an inventive Longwood
administrator had to come up
with a theme for such a time.
Why Oktoberfest? Because it's in
October, stupid!
Dieting, The Modern
Torture Device
Unfortunately, what we do here
at Longwood has very little in
common wilth our European
' namesake. One could have easily
forgiven the OOOP parade and
the unusually uninventive
midway booths, if we could have
at least had a decent beer garden.
Last year's beer garden,
simply put, was an atrocity. It
consisted of a beer truck and a
roped off area of the street, with
no where to sit down. Everyone
was required to drink within the
"beer cage." This arrangement
seemed ignorant considering the
availabiUty of the seldom used
grassy area in front of the
Bedford Building. Naw!
Everybody knows it's much more
fun to drink beer while standing
on steamy pavement. This
institution tries to deny the
drinking of alcoholic beverages
at Oktoberfest, when in fact this
is largely what Oktoberfest is
based on. Instead of being open
all day long, the Bier Garten is
only open 1 hour and a half. You
get one beer and then get hustled
into a roped-off area like P.O.W.
If this is Oktoberfest, where is
the German food, music and
pavillion-covered picnic tables
where young and old can share
food, drink and conversation?
The fact is that our Oktoberfest
has very little semblance to a
real German Oktoberfest. The
students get denied by silly rules
and the attitudes of those who
are in charge of Oktoberfest;
Witness: The administration
making an unsuccessful attempt
to nix the beer mug from our 1985
Oktoberfest T-shirts. The beer
mug held by the Bier Meister
would theoretically encourage
drinking. How ODD!! A Bier
Meister with a beer mug! What
else would he be holding — a can
of Pepsi Free? At the same time
the theme of Oktoberfest is
"Cheers To Oktoberfest" and
shows two mugs clinking
together. Oh! it's just a small
contradiction. In fact, the whole
idea of Oktoberfest in Farmville
turns into a mutated cultural
contradiction.
The hardline by the
administration the last couple of
years, has been to de-emphasize
and decrease alcohol usage. Yet
the biggest event of the year
(next to the sorority walk) is
called Oktoberfest, which by all
accounts has obvious drinking
connotations. We should either
screw the rules for a day and
have a party, or change the name
of Oktoberfest, and stop insulting
its historical significance. Oh
yeah! If you don't want your folks
to turn into John Or Jane Doe just
call them after Oktoberfest — it's
the next best thing to being there.

Diets are funny things. People
diet for a variety of reasons.
Some because of health, and
some because they want to look
like a flag pole's twin. Fad diets
seem to be the "in" thing right
now. I'm sure you've all seen that
miraculous grapefruit diet. A
decent looking construction
worker with a decent looking
body is going on a grapefruit diet.
Real macho, huh? He even
squeezes the grapefruit to show
his masculinity. In the next
commercial, he is in a suit. He
probably bought it with the
money that he made on the first
commercials.
Oh yes, and don't those heart-
rendering testimonials just make
you want to cry? I thinJt for $500
I'd say I lost 200 pounds even
though I've never weighed over
116 pounds in my entire life. Well,
here are a few tips on dieting:
( 1 ) If you really want to go on a
diet, and you really want it to
work, and you really want to lose
weight, go to the dentist, have a
root canal done, get your mouth
wired shut, and then buy a pack
of handy dandy paper straws and
a blender.
(2) If you have a VCR, buy the
Texas Chainsaw Massacre and
watch it before each meal (if you
can, have pizza with lots of
tomato sauce).
(3) Hire Clint Eastwood to live
in your refrigerator for a week.
Every time you open the door, he
will stick his gun up your nose
and say, "Go ahead, eat the
cheesecake, and make my
day! !" I'm sure that after about
a week of that, you will never
break your diet again.
(4) Buy a muzzle.
( 5 ) Read the labels of what you
are about to eat. Make a rule to
yourself that if you can't
pronounce it, you can't eat it.

Blithe Spirit:
An Early Review
Tuesdoy, October 8, 1985 The Rotunda Poge 5
By JEFF FLEMING
During the week of Oktoberfest
the Longwood Players will open
their first show of the season. A
comedy by Noel Coward, Blithe
Spirit premiered on Broadway in
November of 1941. The following
critique written by Brooks
Atkinson was published in the
New York Times on November 6,
1941.
Blithe Spirit ... is a completely
insane farce that is also
uproarious. It hardly touches the
stage as it rides a demented
broomstick to hilarity ... It is a
travesty of ghost stories, told
with the sardonic impeccability
of a cafe wit.
A novelist is living with his
second wife in a state of
fashionable discontentment. To
accumulate a little useful
information about the occult for a
hovel he is writing he invites a
spiritualist to hold a seance in his
house. She does, and to such a
good purpose that the spirit of his
first wife returns from the
psychic beyond, and raises with
his comestic arrangements. For
she is not a noble spirit. She is
vain and covetous. Through some
eerie mischavee, she even
translates the second wife into a
spirit. And the third act of the
play finds the novelist plagued by
two spirits that cannot leave him
and cannot get away from each
other.
That is the framework of Blithe
Spirit. But it hardly suggests the
comic absurdity of Mr. Coward's
high-spirited lark, which is full of
droll malice and farcical
insincerity. To him the mumbo-
jumbo of spiritualism is an
invitation to poke fun at solemn
characters and write lines with a
coustic stick. He skips through
the exposition with witty alacrity.
He picks up some vagrant laughs
with low-comedy part of the fleet-
footed sewart drudge. As usual,
smashes crockery to a point
aclimax. And the part of the
maidenly spiritualist he has
translated into a remarkable
funny satire on old saws and
bogus good cheer."

stage is set, anticipation is high
as the band steps on stage to an
opening round of applause,
you're sitting backstage feeling
ten feet tall because this is your
event.
Concerts, films, lectures, art
shows, leadership,
communication, interpersonal
skills, business skills, marketing,
advertising; all of these are what
comprise S-UN, the Student
Union programming Organi-
zation. There are currently
18-20 student volun-
teers who decide on the
types of programming, develop
budgets, work with talent
agencies, and promote and
produce the activities on campus.
The organization needs new
members! The more students
involved, the greater the depth,
variety and quality of program
offerings.
The time investment to the
organization can vary from a few
hours a week to a few hours a
day. The rewards for
participation are confidence,
hands on business experience, a
chance to challenge yourself and
see what you're capable of ac-
complishing, as well as contrib-
uting to the atmosphere of
'Longwood College. The students
currently involved in S-UN are
developing new friends and
relationships with students as
well as faculty and
administrative staff.
' If college life is not fulfilling all
your wants and needs, go after
the opportunities for involvement
here at Longwood and consider
becoming part of a growing or-
ganization like S-UN.
If you are interested in more
information, contact Paul
Striffolino, Director of Student
Union, Unkford Student Union
or come to a S-UN meeting, held
every Tuesday evening, 6: 15 p.m.
in the Leadership Lounge.

Rugby
After two hard fought, losing
battles against the Norfolk Blues
and the University of Richmond,
the I^ngwood College Men's
Rugby Club put the pieces
together in a 29-0 whipping T. C.
Williams Law School.
Ix)ngwood took the early lead in
the first half on trys by David
Grant and Ross Anderson. The
half ended with the score
Ungwood 10, T. C. Williams 0.
In the second half, Longwood
built on this 10 point lead. A try
each by Dave Larsen and Phillipe
Casanave, plus three penalty
kicks produced a final score of 29-
0, in favor of longwood.
Longwood College will play
rival Hampden-Sydney College in
two matches on Wednesday,
October 9. The first match will be
at 4:00 p.m. at the president's
field.
This rivalry has fizzled out in
recent years due to Hampden-
Sydney's inability to raise a
team. The word out is that they
feel Longwood College is still a
girls' school and that the
Longwood club is full of women.
All students are invited to attend.
The next match is Saturday,
October 12, at 1:00 p.m. against
Lynchburg. This match will also
be played at the President's
Field. All are welcome. Good
Luck, Longwood!

Spon8or8 Program
Robert Frost, noted American
poet, will lecture at Farmville
January 11, 1940. His coming here
was made possible through the
efforts of Beorc Eh Thorn, local
English honor society which tries
each year to bring some eminent
literary person to the college. In
past years Beorc Eh Thorn has
brought John Erskine, Richard
Haliburton, and others to the
campus.
Robert Frost writes poetry of
the thoughts and feelings of the
silent New Englanders. Some of
his best known poems are "The
Death of the Hired Man", and
"Mending Walls". He has won
the Pulitzer Prize for poetry
three times — once in 1924, once
in 1930, and again in 1937.
Frost says, "A poem begins
with a lump in the throat, a home-
sickness or a love-sickness. It is a
reaching out toward expression;
an effort to find fulfilhnent.

Longwood Professor
To Discuss
Tour Of China
Dr. John Peale, associate
professor of philosophy at
Longwood College, will lecture
and show slides on China on
Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m.
in Wygal Auditorium.
His topic will be "Journey To A
Changing China." The pubhc is
invited to attend the presentation
and the reception to follow in the
Haga Room.
Dr. and Mrs. Peale visited
China this past summer on the
Yale University Alumni Study
Tour. Among the cities they
visited were Beijing (Peking),
Xian, Chongqing (Chungking),
Yangzi (Yangtze) Gorges,
Wuhan, Shanghai, and
Guangzhou (Canton).
Dr. Helen Siu, assistant
professor of anthropology at
Yale, and R. Charles Peterson,
professor of history at Cornell
University, accompanied the
study group and lectured
frequently.
"These two well-informed
people helped us to imderstand
better what we saw," Dr. Peale
said. "Our historical
understanding was enriched, and
we gained a perspective on many
of the interesting changes that
are occurring in contemporary
Chinese society."
The Peales have a special
interest in China since Mrs. Peale
was bom there while her parents
were serving as Presbyterian
missionaries. She left China when
she was four years old.

Ambassadors
(Continued from Page i)
advantages of being an
Ambassador is experience.
Ambassadors are exposed to
alumni, government officials,
leaders in the corporate and
business world, prospective
students and the general public.
"We want our students exposed
to as many individuals and
groups external of the institution
as we can possibly expose them
to. That is because the best way
to sell something is with quality
products. Through this
experience many students can
get their foot in the door for
professional job opportunities by
people they meet."
Ambassadors have many
duties. These include:
(1) Assist the Director of
Annual Funds with the Alumni
Telefund.
(2) Serve as Official hosts and
Hostesses for various parties,
programs, events, etc.
(3) Assist Admissions in
activities related to attracting
qualified students to Longwood
College.
(4) Assist Institutional
Advancement in support
programs for the benefit of
Longwood College.
(5) Serve as College Tour
Guides.
(6) Serve in other various
public relations activities for the
benefit of longwood.
(7) Although the Ambassadors
is totally a voluntary
organization, it is highly
prestigious and is a very
beneficial part of college life.
In the future, there are some
changes to be made in
Ambassadors. It was the job of
the executive board to inter-
view students who wished
membership into the
organization. Now, it will be the
duty of the advisors. Barbara
Stonikinis is new to the advisory
board. She is the co-ordinating
advisor from the Institutional
Advancement Office. She was
asked to be on the board because
she is the person they come to,
and she doesn't travel as much as
the other advisors. Stonikinis
states of the Ambassadors,
"They are a great bunch of kids,
and I am looking forward to
working with them this year."
Also new is the concept to expand
by taking on special projects.
The leadership for these special
projects would come from the
Ambassadors and other students
would become involved.
When students were asked
what they wanted from
Ambassadors, thev renlieH-
(1) leadership
(2) pride and involvement
(3) friendships and
relationships
(4) results for advancing the
college
(5) to become a greater part of

Lemish said of these replies, "I
found those remarks to be
parallel to Maslov's theory. You
build a pyramid of psychological
needs. At the base you have the
feeling of oneself and that there is
safety of doing something with a
group. Continuing up the
pyramid, there is a great sense of
belonging, then self-esteem and
then self-actualization." There
are also many other advantages
to being an Ambassador."
Tami Bostian, the President of
Ambassadors, is a senior and has
been an Ambassador since she
was a second semester freshman.
She presides over all the
meetings, she participates on
every committee, makes sure
everything goes smoothly, and
she is a liaison between the
advisors and the Ambassadors.
Tami states, "I learned about it
through sorority sisters. It is a
•public relations group for the
school and I love to meet people
in school and outside of the
college."
This is Kirk Vetter's second
semester as an Ambassador. He
said he wanted to "help out the
school." Kirk is head of Special
Projects. At Oktoberfest, the
Ambassadors will be selling
posters with the Oktoberfest logo.
There will also be an information
booth at the activity center in
Lankford. Many Ambassadors
will also be giving tours to
prospective students.
Publicity and Communication
chairman is"Bob Smith. Bob has
just received approval to have an
information case built and put in
the new Smoker. It will consist of
important people visiting
Longwood, and a calendar of
Ambassador's events. Bob also
started the LAPS Program-
Longwood Ambassador's Pals.
Bob states, "I love Longwood and
I want to share my enthusiasm
and pride with other students."
The new Ambassadors are: Lisa
Almond, Deb Amos, Laura Clark,
Mike Clements, Trish

Sean M arsee
(Continued from Page 1)
football team in Taunton, Mass.,
said, "In our school, about three-
quarters of the kids who play
sports do it. As an everyday
thing." Added Andover dental
hygienist Joan Walsh, "Many
equate it with gum chewing."
Scientific witnesses for the
Smokeless Tobacco Council
argued that no undisputed
scientific evidence exists proving
its product causes any human
disease or is clinically addictive.
Nitrosamines have produced
cancer in some laboratory
animals, but have not been shown
to cause cancer in any human
being, they pointed out.
But representatives of the
American Cancer Society,
American Heart Association,
American Lung Association,
American Dental Society, the
U.S. Addiction Research Center
and the Centers for Disease
Control joined researchers from
the National Cancer Institute in
condemning the practice of
dipping. Concluded Assistant
Surgeon General Robert
Mecklenburg, chief dental officer
of the U.S. Public Health Service:
"Why should a chemical time
bomb be allowed to tick without
warning in the mouths of
children?"
Health scientist Elbert Glover
of East Carolina University
recently conducted two quit-
smokeless-tobacco clinics in
which only one of 41 participants
was able to go for more than four
hours without the use of
smokeless tobacco. "This, to
me," Glover says, "means that
smokeless can be highly
addictive."
Since the Massachusetts
hearing, that state now requires
warning labels on snuff cans, and
eight other states have similar
mandatory warnings under
consideration.
Both the World Health
Organization and U.S. Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop have
declared that smokeless tobacco
does indeed pose a cancer threat,
and the Public Citizen Health
Research Group has petitioned
the Federal Trade Commission to
order warning labels. The FTC,
in turn, has asked the Surgeon
General to conduct a
comprehensive review of existing
scientific evidence on health
effects before taking action. Last
July, Rep. Henry Waxman (D.,
Calif.), chairman of the House
Subcommittee on Health and the
Environment, held hearings on
whether to ban all smokeless
advertising from television.
Dr. Gregory Connolly, director
of dental health for the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Health, concedes that "we
don't know how much oral cancer
is caused by snuff. But we do
know that each year we have
about 20,000 new cases of oral
cancer and 9000 deaths in this
country. Tobacco of one kind or
another is believed to account for
about 70 percent of it. According
to the National Cancer Institute,
if you use snuff regularly you
increase your risk fourfold."
Shortly before his death, Sean
Marsee told his mother that there
must be a reason God decided not
to save him. "I think the reason is
what we're doing right now,"
says Betty Marsee. "Keeping
other kids from dying — that's
Sean's legacy."

The Dining Service Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee to the
Dining Service is on a role! So far
we have changed the cafeteria
line set-up from what it was. The
reason the first change came
about was to improve the safety
of the workers (this was not our
idea), we changed the position of
the cereal, silverware, and
vegetables to offer students three
entree lines, (notice the tape on
the floor?) the exception is
brunch.
The committee is also aware of
nutrition conscious students. We
have now decided the vegetables
will be served without salt and
butter!, yogurt at breakfast and
also a rotation of the jelly flavors.
( If you are alert you may one day
notice there was something
different out, but we will see if
ARA can change their three-year
track record of the non-stop
serving of grape jelly. )
The committee is also
interested in having soup at
buffet dinners, biscuits more
often at dinner, crepes for
breakfast, and here's the big one:
maybe getting bagels on
other days besides every
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
. . . oops, I hope I didn't give away
the big ARA secret of when we
have bagels.
I hope if any student has
something to say about the food
or ARA service, they will please
contact me. Mary Schraf, Main

Boi-dner Leads Golfei-s In
A Week To Remember
Ix)ngwood's men's golf team
has not had much to crow about
since the days of Ail-American
Tim White and the 1982 State
Champion squad, but all that
changed last week.
In a record-breaking
performance by junior Ty
Bordner and his teammates,
Ix)ngwood set a new standard for
36-hole score in the Old Dominion
Tournament last Monday and
Tuesday and then defeated
Randolph-Macon and Liberty
University in a three-team match
Wednesday afternoon.
Longwood had rounds of 313-
299 for a two-day total of 612 at
the Hampton Golf and Tennis
Club course in Portsmouth
Monday and Tuesday. The
I.*incers ended up tied for fourth
with St. Augustine's and turned in
the best score ever by a Lancer
team for 36 holes.
Bordner led the way with an
individual record 71-72-143 which
was good for a second place tie
out of over 50 golfers. Mike
Finney of Newport News won the
title with a 67-68-135 and Chowan
took the team Utle with a 285-303-
588.
Other team scores were
as follows: Newport News 296-
297-593, Christopher Newport
304-296-600, Longwood 313-299-612,
St. Augustine's 301-311-612,
Virginia Wesleyan 303-316-619,
Ferrum 319-307-626, Virginia
Union 328-325-653, and Hampton
344-342-686.
Also competing for Longwood,
in addition to Bordner, were Mike
Passarell 80-78-158, Chris Gray
81-75-156 Mark Marshall 81-74-
155, Ron Hatch 82-78-160 and Greg
Solow 82-83-165.
Longwood had five golfers shoot
in the 70's Tuesday and that
hasn't happened in three years.
The 299 for one round was just
two strokes higher than the school
record 297 which was recorded in
1982. "We played very well
Tuesday," said coach Steve
Nelson. "We scrambled well and
kept the ball in play."

Bordner Named Player
Of The Week
TY BORDNER
IFomeri s Tennis
A talented Emory & Henry
squad dealt Longwood's women
netters a W) setback Saturday
afternoon, dropping the Lady
lancer record to 1-2 for the fall
season.
Longwood visits Randolph-
Macon Friday and plays host to
Sweet Briar Wednesday, October
16, in its final two matches of the
fall season.
Longwood Coach Bill Moore
had four freshmen and two
sophomores in his top six
Saturday.
Longwood junior Ty Bordner
led the men's golf team to its best
showing in three years last week
and set a school record in the
process. For his performance,
Bordner has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period September 30
through October 6. Player of the
Week is chosen by the Longwood
Sports Information Office.
Bordner, back on the team
after dropping out of school for a
year, shot a record 71-72-143 at
the Old Dominion Golf
Tournament last Monday and
Tuesday and came back to shoot
a medalist 73 as Longwood won a
tri-match Wednesday in Ashland.
"Ty is certainly playing well
right now," said coach Steve
Nelson. "He has been an
inspiration to his teanunates
also. They expect him to shoot
well and his play has given us
more confidence in what we can
do as a team."
Currently, Bordner has a
stroke average of 75.3 for eight
rounds. If he continues to shoot as
well this fall and next spring, he
might be a contender for a spot in
the NCAA Division II Golf
Tournament.
In the 1983-84 spring season
Bordner had a 79.0 stroke
average for the Lancers.

The show will feature water
ballet at its best. Each routine is
choreographed to popular music
by certain members of the team
and their coach Sara Bingham.
l^st year's show was a splash!
Not an empty seat was in the
bleachers.
So, come out and cheer on the
Catalinas!

Volleyball Team Improves,
But Still Needs A Win
Tuesday, October 8, 1985 The Rotundo Page It
Despite tremendous team
improvement in both serving and
passing, the Longwood volleyball
squad dropped four matches last
week to fall to 0-11 for the season.
This week Longwood visited
Ferrum Monday and hosts Sweet
Briar and Virginia Union
Thursday at 6:00.
I^st Wednesday Christopher-
Newport beat Longwood 8-15,,17-
15, 15-10 after the Lady Lancers
had leads of 14-13 and 15-14 in the
second game. Host Mary
Washington dealt LC a 15-8, 15-7
defeat the same night.
Friday Longwood hosted
Gallaudet and Hampton
University and came away with
two more losses. A hustling
Gallaudet team turned back
Coach Linda Elliott's charges 15-
2, 16-14 and Hampton pinned a 15-
7. 15-11 loss on the I^dy Lancers.
"We're improving all the time,
but the wins won't come until we
play more consistently as a
team," said Coach Ellioet. "Our
level of intensity is what's
causing us to lose. Instead of
playing our own game, we play to
the other team's ability. If they
play well we do."
Elliott said her team produced
a dramatic increase in its
number of kills in Wednesday's
action. She singled out seniors
Holly Heame and Karen Moye
for their play on the front line
Wednesday.
"Holly must have put away a
dozen kills," said the coach.
"That's probably the best she's
ever played. Karen also played
well and Mary Friga served 100
per cent when she was in there.
Sharon Magnuson and Sara
Laser were fantastic on
defense."
She cited Debbie Turco for her
serving off the bench and Dana
Shockley for filling in for injured
Bobbi Shuler in Friday night's
action.

Coach Mary Whitlock and Laura Thomas get ready for riding
practice.
Get Horse Happy
ByTRICIAO'HANLON
The Lancer, our proudly
displayed school emblem, rides
his horse on everything from
school calendars to the walls of
our gymnasium. Joan of Ark also
rides a horse as she leads her
troops through our collinade
beside the Rotunda. As popular
and well-loved as horses are, why
doesn't anyone know about
longwood's riding team?
Riding is the only college-level
sport which enables a student to
start as a beginner and compete
inter-collegiately. With the
different classes of competition
ranging from beginner to
advanced, riders can compete at
the level in which they are best
suited.
Located only 12 miles away, the
stables are owned by the riding
team's Coach Mary Whitlock.
Presently, the team consists of 4
returning members and 7 new
members. Whitlock, enjoying
hier seventh year as coach, led
Longwood to Reserve High Point
College of the Year honors in
1983-84. I«ist season Longwood
earned 68 ribbons with seven first
place ribbons.
If you are an experienced rider
or even a beginner, and you are
interested in joining the riding
team, stop by the Sports
Information Office in East
Ruffner for more information.
Lady Golfers
Finish Fourth
Longwood's entire team had an
off-day Sunday as the I^dy
Lancer golfers finished fourth out
of 13 teams in the rain-shortened
Yale University Invitational.
Longwood totaled a 346 and
finished behind three teams it
had beaten easily earlier in the
season in the 18-hole event at the
Yale Golf Course.
Penn State (332) edged James
Madison (332) for the title on the
strength of its number five
golfer's score. William & Mary
(338) was third. The tournament
was scheduled for 36 holes, but
Saturday's round was rained out.
Longwood scores included:
Tammy lohren 85, Nancy Ryan
86, Marcia Melone 87, Tina
Barrett 88 and I>eigh Russell 92.
Gretchen Pugh, playing as an
individual, shot an 84 for LC's
best round of the day.
"I can't explain it," said coach
Barbara Smith. "We all had an
off-day at the same time. The
conditions were bad with cold,
rainy and windy weather, but
that is no excuse. We had beaten
the teams that came in ahead of
us before."

10th Ranked Soccer Team
Faces Crucial S-Game Stretch
After an 8-1 win over
Shenandoah Wednesday and a 2-0
loss to nationally ranked
Alabama-Huntsville Sunday,
Longwood's soccer team will
take an 8-2 record into an
upcoming 3-game stretch which
could make or break the Lancers'
season.
In a rematch of last year's
state title contest, Longwood will
host VISA Eastern Division foe
Mary Washington Wednesday at
3:30. While the Lancers are 0-1 in
VISA play, the Blue Tide is 1-0
and 7-2-1 overall. Coach Rich
Posipanko says his team cannot
afford another VISA loss if it
hopes to return to the state
playoffs for the third time in four
years.
Posipanko, whose squad has
been hit hard by injuries, felt
encouraged after watching his
team battle Alabama-Huntsville
Sunday. The Lancers visit tough
Old Dominion Saturday night and
then play at Liberty University
next Monday. The Flames were
ranked 18th in Division II in last
week's poll.
"I felt we played Alabama-
Huntsville almost an even
game," said the coach. "If we
play that way in these next three
games we could win all of them.
Outside of Virginia and possibly
William & Mary a couple of years
ago, we haven't played anyone as
skilled as Alabama-Huntsville."
Longwood had 14 shots on goal
to 17 for the Qiargers Sunday
afternoon. Goalkeeper Rob
Liessem came through with nine
saves and backs Erick Kam,
Sean McArdle, and Jeff Robinson
all played superbly.
Senior Tim Ford was back in
action Sunday after being out
with a chipped bone in his ankle.
Ford has 5 goals and 2 assists,
John Kennen 5 goals and 7 assists
and Mark Kremen 5 gOals and 2
assists to pace Longwood's
offense.
Senior co-captain Mark
McArdle will likely miss this
week's action but could return
next week if he gets a good report
from the doctor about his
fractured arm.

Heather McCartney, 17, was
seriously injured in an auto
accident that occurred at the
intersection of Oak and High
Steets at approximately 2 a.m.
Sunday morning.
Miss McCourtney, a Longwood
Pre-Business Administration
Major from Fairfax, Virginia,
was apparently thrown from the
back of a brown pick-up truck as
it rounded a comer too sharply.
She sustained severe head
wounds as the result of this fall
and is currently listed in critical
condition at the MCV Medical
Center, according to hospital
spokesperson, Phillip Woodson.
Witnesses who arrived on the
scene early said that she was
bleeding from a gash on her
forehead and actually stopped
breathing for more than a
minute. Jim Balserak, a visiting
Pre-Med student from the
University of Virginia, took quick
action to get her breathing
restored by dislodging Miss
McCartney's tongue from her
throat. According to one Oak
Street resident at the scene. Miss
McCartney probably would not
have made it to the Southside

Longwood Humiliates Hampsters
By GARTH WENTZEL
On Wednesday, October 9, the
Longwood College Men's Rugby
Club destroyed the Hampden-
Sydney Rugby Qub 41-0.
Longwood scored first on a
penalty kick by Tim Seymour.
Todd Hunt scored the first try of
the game on a 30-yard sideline
run, 10 minutes into the game.
The score stood at Longwood 7,
Hampsters 0. Dave Larsen
scored a few minutes later to give
Longwood a 11-0 lead. This set the
pace for the game and Longwood
continued to control the ball until
halftime. The half ended with the
score Longwood 11, Hampsters 0.
In the second half, the
Hampsters tried to make a
comeback, but there was a
breakdown in the Habitrail chain
of command and they were
forced to play in a defensive
mode. This effort to stop
Longwood's well coordinated
attack failed, and Longwood
had not had quite a few trys
called back.
The Hampsters took this loss in
the quiet dignity portrayed by
41-0
scored at will. The following
people scored trys for Longwood
in the second half; Dave Grant 1,
Dave Rackley 1, and Philipe
Casanave 2. Also adding to the many members of their species,
second half deluge were George (Spoiled Rodentis)
Miller with one point after In other action this week,
attempt and two penalty kicks, Longwood defeated Lynchburg
and Tim Seymour with one point City Rugby Club 15-4. Longwood
after attempt. scored all of its points in the first
The final score was Longwood half. Philipe Casanave scored the
41, Humpton-Snodney 0. It would first try and George Miller scored
have been higher if Longwood the second try. Tim Seymour
kicked one penalty kick and two-
point after attempts to top off
Longwood's scoring.
Lynchburg city scored a try in
the second half, but it was too
little, too late. The next match is
at Washington and Lee on
October 26.
The Rotunda staff would like to
wish Omar Fakloury a speedy
recovery. Omar broke his leg
during Saturday's action and we
are all hoping for the best.

Chi Speaks
Longwood, through the years, has seen several secret
organizations come and go. The first known of these organizations was
the "Mystic Three". They were followed by the "I.M.P.S." in 1909, and
the "Black Cats", W.A.N.K.", "FANGS", and "Mu Omega" in 1912.
However, by 1930, only ONE secret organization existed at Longwood
|— CHI - -iid the ideals of CHI are as strong today as they were 85
jyears ago!
CHI, established on October 15, 1900, is a secret organization
whose essential purpose is to promote and sustain a spirit of
cooperation among students in EVERY phase of college life. It is
CHI's aim to foster respect for Longwood and loyalty to its academic
programs and extracurricualr activities. In fulfilling this aim, CHI
hopes to be an organization that commits itself to recognizing the
efforts of students, faculty, administration, staff and organizations.
Evidence of CHI's support can be seen through banners appearing
at special events, signs on the sidewalks across campus and through
latenight "walks". However, the real evidence of CHI can be seen in
the hearts and minds of those who seek its real purpose of constructive
support and cooperation. One must remember that CHI is not a group
of individuals who, for one year, compose its working staff. CHI is an
I IDEA — never reached — but always reached for. So erase from your
^ mind the personification of the idea, and look instead to your own soul!
YOU are the spark . . . YOU are the flame . . . You are the CHI that
Longwood respects!
CHI of 1986 encourages ALL students to take full advantage of
their academic opportunities as well as their extracurricular op-
portunities. Support the four aspects of student life — SOCIAL,
RECREATIONAL, INTELLECTUAL and SPIRITUAL - by par-
ticipating and-or supporting intramural activities, athletics, campus
organizations, S.G.A., Student Union, religious organizations,
academic and departmental organizations (including lectures,
programs and seminars) greek organizations, and by upholding the
Honor and Judicial codes. College is a time for each individual student
to learn more about himself-herself and to experience different
aspects of life while learning to live and work with people of all dif-
ferent types. DO NOT LET APATHY RUIN YOUR OP-
PORTUNITIES! AND REMEMBER . . .CHI IS WATCHING.
THE SPIRIT lives!..

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Editor:
I never thought that I would be
writing a letter in defense of the
Editor-in-Chief of this paper. I
read Dr. Crowl and Sandra Cross'
letter printed in the October 8th
Rotunda and felt compelled to
reply to it.
I am quite aware that students
composed the largest element of
the committee. I am also aware
that the only voices heard by the
administration were those
belonging to administrators.
It's very interesting that Dr.
Crowl would bring up Mr. Raio's
charge that the committee was
"bullied and manipulated by
'Soviet-style' tactics." Being the
school expert on Russia I'm sure
that Dr. Crowl had many helpful
hints to offer Comrad Gorski in
her crusade. You might have
been impressed with her
"fairness and concern for the
welfare of students", but I am
not. I sat through her explanation
of the new alcohol policy when I
went through the R. A. workshop
and I was impressed with her
attitude of intense satisfaction at
our outrage over these new
policies — no drinking games
especially. Those in the workshop
were not your drunks or rowdies
— these were the leaders of our
Dear Editor:
After three years here I have
finally encountered a professor
who was bom in another country
and is trying to teach a subject to
me in a language which could at
best be called English. It is
beyond me why my tuition and
tax money goes to pay salaries of
several professors I cannot
school — our RA's.
our RA's.
I must say what I have thought
about these rules since I first
heard about them. I think they
suck. The laws says that those
who are under 19 can't drink.
Fine and dandy. It doesn't say
you can't play quarters (I wonder
how manv violators of this rule
Comrad Gorski has had the
privilege of frying in front of her
judicial board — oops — that's
another story isn't it) or have
parties on Thursday nights,
nights.
I think that the main point in
Dr. Growl's and Dr. Cross' letter
was that old issue of Barb's
"concern for the welfare of
students." Please correct me if
I'm wrong, but isn't a person
considered an adult when they
reach 18 years of age. The
question I have heard over and
over is who the hell does Barb
think she is? For that matter,
who asked her to be concerned
for our welfare? Those whose
welfare she is concerned about
sure as hell don't appreciate her
actions. Those people who
"abuse" alcohol do so by their
own choice. That is their right as
an adult. I personally want to
know who died and made Barb
all-knowing and who gave her the
understand.
I feel that if I am paying $6,000
a year for classes, I should at
least be able to understand what
the professor is saying even if I
cannot understand what is being
taught.
I know this may be a case of
discrimination but I think that if
someone is going to teach in
America to American English
power to force us to do what she
thinks is right. The biggest and
most important statement I can
direct at Barb is — mind your
own damm business — I don't
want you in mine. If I had wanted
a mother to tell me what to do and
not to do I would have brought
mine. If I could have one wish it
would be that Barb gets married
and has some kids of her own so
she can stop treating all of us like
we were hers.
I also feel compelled to state
that while Mr. Raio is glad to
have finished his History
requirements I have not. I am a
History major and have a lot
more classes to take in that
subject before I graduate. I also
would like to say that I will drop
dead before I take one of Growl's
classes. I would not take a class
from a man who has a poster of
Lenin and other Communist
propaganda plastered all over his
office. I think that Dr. Crowl
takes his subject too seriously
and that sometimes he forgets
where he is — This is America,
Doctor, NOT Russia. Maybe you
should take Dr. Calahan's Rights
and Liberties class next semester
— it would obviously do you some
good. After completing that class
maybe you will have had your
head removed from your -f-!&+.
Sincerely,
J. Andrew O'Connor
speaking students, they should at
least be able to speak the English
language properly.
These professors of which I
speak are unable to correctly
pronounce words and they speak
in broken English making
everything worse.
Could something be done about
this? D.A. French

Please Note: Two weeks ago, an investigator from the
Pentagon came to check the disciplinary file of a recent
graduate who had applied for a job. The alumni had signed a
form agreeing to allow us to release his file. The only document
his file contained was a case regarding possession of a lounge
chair in his room; a situation most of us would believe to be "no
big deal". The investigator, upon reading the file, closed it, said,
"That's too bad, we really wanted to hire him," and walked
away.

Longwood College has received
a collection of approximately
5,000 prehistoric Virginia Indian
artifacts from an Appomattox
County couple.
The gift was presented by Dr.
and Mrs. Qyde G. O'Brien. The
O'Brien's acquired the collection
between 1935 and this year while
Dr. O'Brien practiced medicine
in Appomattox. The collection
contains the full range of
prehistoric Indian artifacts
which are characteristic of the
Piedmont Virginia region.
The O'Briens, who recognized
the value of their collection for
teaching, research and exhibit
purposes, wanted to benefit in the
area. During several visits this
past sununer to the Morris Field
Archeological Site, which was
being excavated by Longwood's
Archeology Field School, Dr.
O'Brien first considered letting
Longwood manage the collection
so that a wider audience could
profit from his half-century of
acquisitions.
The O'Brien Archeological
Collection will be used for
teaching and research purposes
by students in archeology classes
{tnm Ml) Rebeecs AMell, Dr. JUwt lirdui nd
LeStourgeon
at Longwood. One hundred
twenty of the nearly 5,000
artifacts are currently on exhibit
on the main floor of Lancaster
Library.
Portions of the collection will
be placed on exhibit from time to
time in the library. The curator of
the exhibit is Rebecca Ansell, an
anthropology major who spent
January through June this year
at Hartwick College, in New
York, in a special program in
museum studies. Martha
LeStourgeon, library director, is
providing space for the exhibit.
Dr. James Jordan, director of
the Archeology Field School and
associate professor, will
supervise the collection. "This
collection is among the largest
gathered by a private individual
and the benefit which Longwood
College students will receive
from having these specimens to
examine makes the archeology
program much stronger," he
said.

Caught! Unaware!
Anastasia M.
I have tried and tried again to
sit down and write something
relevant to college life and
coherent enough for the ordinary
college student to understand. I
keep coming up zero. Does this
mean I'm not a coherent college
student, or does it mean I'm not
an ordinary one? I'm afraid I
have not come up with a succinct
definition of an "ordinary college
student," but the word
"ordinary" really bothers me,
actually, it makes me cringe.
At times it is rather consoling
to think that one is ordinary — in
every sense of the word. If
everything about a person is the
status quo, there is no fear of
rejection or ridicule, merely
nice quiet conservatism. The
preceding sentence is an
ambiguous one. I love ambiguity;
it is so abnormal. My contention,
therefore, can be read as having
no fear of rejection or ridicule
because quiet conservatism is a
refuge, or the contention can be
read as I really intend it: as there
being no fear of rejection or
ridicule, but there is a fear of
quiet conservatism. In my case,
this fear has reached the level of
petrified horror.
Either this place breeds
conservatism or the people who
attend this institution are initially
conservative. Somehow, it
doesn't seem possible or fair that
the words "conservative" and
•'college student" should be
uttered consecutively, much less
in the same breath. Isn't being
conservative one of those things
that only adults get? The same
goes for being ordinary. You
would think that ordinary was the
label on the plateau you reach
once you run out of individual
endeavors. Personally, I don't
think you ever "run out" of
individual endeavors, but it is
possible that you'll get tired of
endeavoring along about the age
of seventy. But my youth and
liberality is showing through with
that comment . . . GOOD! RAISE
THE CURTAIN!!!!
McDonald
This place is numb. The Sixties
gave rise to the flower children
and what are we? None other
than the Eighties' "numb"
children. Tahdah. Really. What
do we have to show for ourselves?
On this campus alone, the
problem is maddening. Being an
English major, the majority of
my classes are discussion
oriented. Do you know what
happens when the professors
open the floor to discussion:
meaning opinions and thoughts?
Ninety-nine percent of the time
there is dead silence. Silence.
Does this mean that few or none
of my fellow collegians has
opinions or thoughts to share?? !!
Frustration is reaching a boiling
point of rage, because not only in
the classrooms are people afraid
to speak up, but these numb
children who are entering their
third decades of life are
completely oblivious to real
happenings in life. AIDS,
apartheid, riots, and "star
wars," to name only a few, are
real issues that college students
should at least be aware of
vaguely. When someone thinks
that AIDS is provisions from the
Red Cross or apartheid is a new
brand of dog food, something is
indeed very, very wrong. Are we
afraid we might come across as a
halfway intelligent, somewhat
sensitive generation if we have
thoughts and opinions about the
reality of these issues?
Perhaps the attitude I'm trying
so desperately to define and
understand is apathy. I fear with
this, I am back to my original
contentions of "ordinariness"
and "conservatism." Our little
cocoons of the status quo have
been wrapped tightly around us,
insulating us from the real
happenings and issues that give
rise to real life. Maybe I am still
coming up zero as far as the
majority is concerned, but I hope
I've at least been revelant and
coherent for those who
understand what it is I'm trying
to drive home.

Nostalgia:
Since the beginning... 1920-1985
The following is the second in a
series of articles extracted from
old Rotunda issues. It is an
editorial by Elizabeth Moring
that finally tells the secret to
survival at Longwood.
Are You A Wreck?
Are you a wreck? Do the cares
and burdens of your lessons hang
over you? Do your teachers seem
unfair in their assignments?
Does a spirit of tiredness envelop
you?
Most of the girls here in the
Normal are weighed down by
such burdens. And it is so hard to
find a cure for them. Dr. Field
and the infirmary will not do. No.
Many have tried this and all
agree unanimously that no cure
is to be found there. All the pills,
all the sauce or oil have no effect
upon this ailment. You remain a
wreck.
But it a serious matter when all
the girls of the Normal are
wrecks. We must find a cure. The
reputation of our school is at
stake.
Although I am only a wee little
worm I would like to whisper in
the ears of the wise ones a cure. It
is very simple and if followed
Vol. 3, No. 2, Oct. 12, 1922.
closely will produce an
immediate effect.
The first trouble arises when
the teacher signs those hard
lessons. Begin the right way
there by grinning your widest and
then get to work. There is a
consolation in knowing that your
burdens are not the hardest. It is
a well known fact that those who
do the most work are those who
complain less and those who go
about with long faces are the very
laziest ones.
Then at night when your work
is done throw open your window
and stand there a while. If that
does not help there is something
wrong with you. The air seems so
cool and sweet. It seems to softly
caress your cheeks and whisper
in your ear promises of renewed
strength. The stars twinkle
above, seeming so near and yet
so far. Then it is that you come
closer to God than ever.
Somehow we just feel as if we
want to p)ir out a heart of thanks
and gratitude to our Maker. He
seems so close. Perhaps if we
reach out we will touch Him.
Worry drops away then as a
cloak.
And then in the early morning
before assuming the cares of a
new day try the same thing.
Somehow it is different in the
morning. We are refreshed after
the night's rest and a new vigor
awakens. The air is crisp. It
makes you feel as if you must be
up and doing. The birds softly
twitter. The whole world seems
alive and yours for the taking.
Before you know it a song arises
to your lips and before going
down to breakfast you cast that
wreck out of the window to a
deserving death.
Longwood... A Suitcase College
By SHERI WILKINSON
Have you ever noticed how
bare the parking lots are around 2
p.m. on Fridays, how empty the
dining hall is for dinner, and how
the sound of slamming doors on
your hall stop? Could this be
because a large majority of
students go home on the
weekends?
There are many reasons why
people go home: (1) Longwood is
not necessarily located in an
exciting town. If you happen to
blink your eyes when riding down
Farmville's Main Street you may
miss the "whole town." The
"whole town," would take only an
hour to tour with its five
stoplights, four grocery stores,
three department stores, and one
.Movie Theatre with month-old
movies.
(2) Longwood's new rules
about mixers and parties make
all under age students feel like
livestock when they have to stand
behind roped off areas or be
branded on their hands with the
letter "X." This results in less
people attending mixers and
parties. The students who
sponsor them lose money which
makes them unable to have as
many.
(3) Road trips off campus are
easy because Longwood lets
anyone have a car on campus.
Those without cars find it easy to
find a ride home with those who
have cars. A lot of people live
only an hour away which makes
it very convenient to go home.
(4) The ratio here is a large
factor. There are four girls to
every guy so many girls are left
out when it comes to dancing
partners. Many giris go home to
see their boyfriends.
(5) Lots of students go home to
work where jobs are easier to
find, compared to Farmville.
Many people have jobs
pertaining to their majors or
work for family members. Some
work to pay for school, bills, or
gas so they can go home every
weekend.
(6) Many students go home to
get away from it all; there are so
many places to go and things to
do, Malls, bars, movie theatres
with up to date movies and much
more. There are many activities
that people do when they go
home: go to weddings, parties,
football games, picnics, etc.
(7) The Lankford Student
Union offers little to students who
are not obsessed with video
games and bowling. Perhaps one
day Longwood's nickname
"suitcase college" will diminish
mhen there are more reasons for
1 people to stay on campus. Until
then, Longwood will be known as
a suitcase college.

Dance Company Reviewed amA Meets In Richmond
By LEE RICHARDS
The Longwood College
Company of Dancers presented
their Oktoberfest Dance
Scholarship Fund performances
this past weekend with the
Evolution of Modem Dance.
Featuring the music of
Shadowfax, the show opened with
a beautiful piece choreographed
and performed by Dance Minor
and Assistant Dance Company
Director, Sherry Massey. The
dance, entitled Torch, was based
on the dances and costumes of
Loie Fuller who pioneered long,
flowing costumes that gave the
impression of weightlessness, but
was not recognized on legacy
because she was never formally
schooled in dance.
Isadora Duncan was the next
stage depicted in the evolution in
a dance entitled Autumn and
featured Isadorable's Hilary
Silvera, and two newcomers to
Dance Company, Kim Cecil and
Sandi Dovel.
The third piece. Ritual of the
Poles, was based on the basic
themes and technique of Martha
Graham and was depicted as a
work in progress by
choreographer and Dance
Company Director, Nelson Neal.
Performed by Margaret
Bickerstaff, Tami Bostian, Deb
Bobbins, Kelly Shannon, and
Mary Thompson, the dance
bordered on violent featuring the
only props used throughout the
show.
Contrasts, the fourth piece, has
been performed by the Longwood
Company previously, and it will
probably be seen again later. A
somewhat confusing dance, the
program handed out at the show
notes: "Life is full of contrasts,
love-hate, rich-^xwr, good-bad; so
too is dance. In this dance you
may see fast and slow, curves
and angles, or movers and closet
stuff. You will undoubtedly
discover some contrasts that
were not thought about when the
dance was choreographed." If
you think that's confusing — you
should see the dance!
The final piece, Razz Ma Jazz,
was an upbeat dance featuring a
really catchey toon by Barry
Manilow and performed by
Margaret Bickerstaff, Tami
Bostian, Kim Cecil, Sandi Dovel,
Teri Freeman, Amy Harrell, Deb
Robbins, Kelly Shannon, Hilary
Silvera, and Dance Company
president, Mary Thompson.
Mr. Neal would like to thank
everyone who supported this
event for helping to raise over
$250 for the Dance Scholarship
Fund.
Performed by (Hangers) Teri
Freeman, Sherry Massey, Kelly
Shannon, Hilary Silvera
( Runners ) , Margaret
Bickerstiiff, Tami Bostian, Deb
Robbins, and Mary Thompson.
Corrections
By LORI HARRIS
In an effort to develop "hands
on" experience for sociology
majors with a concentration in
criminal justice. Dr. Lawrence
G. Hlad of the Sociology
Department developed the
"Internship In Corrections"
program. This program, started
last year, allows six to eight
junior and senior students to have
practical work experience in a
prison situation.
Students nominate themselves
and are then chosen based on
background, interest, and
training. Each student spends up
to nine hours per week at the
Buckingham Correctional
Centers. They assist prison
counselors as volunteer workers
in counseling groups. These
groups deal with problems from
Alcoholism and drug problems to
a program called "MILK" that
teaches parenting skills.
The prison is a medium
security center, meaning
prisoners mingle with guards and
other workers rather frequently.
This presents a risk factor for the
students in this program. They
are first asked to sign a release
form from the college, as well as
every time they enter the prison.
One of these students, Mary
Kay Griffith described how she
and the others were told to "dress
down," not wearing tight or
revealing clothing. She also
expressed a feeling of culture
shock. When she entered
Buckingham Correctional Center
the first few times she said it was
very frightening and inhibiting.
They had to sign in so that they
could be accounted for in case of
an emergency. They then went
through a metal detector and
then were frisked. After being
briefed on what to do in a hostage
situation they proceeded into the
prison area. The sound of the loud
locking doors, the sexual
innuendos (at guys as well as
girls) were impressions that gave
her an uncomfortable feeling
about this internship.
Though the experience can be
very intense and difficult at
times, the students seem eager to
continue with the program. Not
only does it help in job
experience, but students report a
great deal of personal growth as
well. Three out of the six students
in the program last year have
applied for jobs at correctional
centers. Dr. Hlad hopes to
expand this program with
involvement in adult probation
and parole systems.
Footnote: Since this article was
originally written, the sign-in
method at the prison came in
handy when Lisa Almond, a
student in this program, had to be
escorted from the prison when a
riot broke out. She was unharmed
and clear of the compound before
the situation became serious.
The Longwood Chapter of the
American Marketing Association
traveled to Richmond last
Tuesday to attend the Richmond
Professional Chapter's monthly
meeting which is held the second
Tuesday of every month from
11:30- 1:30.
Eight people including Mr.
Burt Brooks, ttie AMA advisor,
went to the meeting to view a
three part video tape by
marketing specialist, Morris
Massey and to get a better idea of
how the Professional Chapter
conducted its meetings.
The videotape, entitled "What
We Are Now Is Where We Were
When," described why different
consumer age groups think and
behave the way they do as a
result of when they were bom and
the times in which they grew up.
The Longwood AMA is working
on getting this tape to show here
sometime in the future.
Apart from being the closest
Professional Chapter to
Longwood College, the Richmond
Chapter is considered one of the
most successful AMA's in the
United States by distinguishing
itself three years in a row as the
recipient of the ''Highest
Honors" award for its size
category — a feat that has never
been accomplished by any other
Professional Chapter in the
! AMA's history.
Being a relatively new club, the
Longwood AMA is very
interested in boosting
membership in order to better
reach its organizational goals
through student participation. If
interested in joining the
Longwood AMA, please contact
Mr. Burt Brooks in Hiner.
Crop Walk
There has been much publicity
in recent months about tHe
problem of world hunger. Some
of us were fortunate enough to go
to the USA for Africa concert, or
sent in contributions via MTV,
however, the majority has not
done much about the situation
except to talk about how horrible
it is. The Farmville Ministerial
Association is sponsoring a
CROP walk on Sunday, October
27th. Now is the chance for the
college community to help make
a difference!
CROP is the name given to
local community efforts at
hunger education and fund-
raising for Church World Service.
The Farmville walk will begin at
1 p.m. with registration in front of
Jarman Auditorium. After 10
miles, it will end, again in front of
Jarman. If you would like to
participate, or sponsor a
participant, you can contact one
of the area churches. The
Campus Religious Community
will have a booth in the new
smoker on October 17th and 18th
to answer questions and hand out
sponsor envelopes. The object is
to get as many people possible to
sponsor you so much money for
each mile you walk. An
interesting bit of information on
CROP is that some of the money
collected from this walk will stay
in the Farmville community to
help with hunger needs right in
our own neighborhood.
This is an excellent service
project for sororities,
fraternities, or new pledges (hint,
hint) and for all other campus
organizations. CROP walk^, in
my experience, are great to do
with friends, strenghten group
ties, and make your legs a bit
sore, but you end up feeling good
inside because you know that you
have, done something to make
this world a better place for
others. Like the song says . . .
"We are the World . . . let's lend a
helping hand!

OktoberfeSt 1985 student injured
By T. MICHAEL T. CLEMENTS
The tradition that many
apathetic students have called
silly and senseless has once again
shown brightly this past weekend
with Longwood Colleges annual
Oktoberfest Dev Giest. The
concept of Oktol)erfest has been a
part of Longwood for many
years. It was orginally referred
to as a "circus" and served as an
alternative for the homecoming
which takes place at many other
institutions. It now has evolved
into a single weekend when the
students of Longwood along with
the faculty and administration
came together to achieve a
common goal, with each
organization or individual
contributing in their own special
way.
The word tradition suggests the
fact that Oktoberfest is an event
which is not forced on anyone, but
instead supported and carried out
in a very customary way,
whether it be the Delta's apple
cider or the Bavarian style dress
of the ushers and miesters.
Among the variety of the past
weekend's activities were
included a lot of customary
events. The first, happening
weeks before Oktoberfest
weekend, was the Giest topping
of ushers, miesters, and of

Community Hospital if Balserak
had not been there, as the
hospital is less than a half mile
away from the scene of the
accident and the ambulance that
finally appeared 10 minutes after
notification of the incident.
Upon stabalized condition,
Miss McCartney was
immediately flown to the MCV
Medical Center by a Med-Flight
helicopter, where she will
remain in intensive care until
further notice.
The name of the person driving
the truck has not yet been
disclosed by the Farmville Police
Department, nor have they
indicated that any charges will be
made.
Med-Flight Helps
Save Life
With a cruising speed of 100
m.p.h. and top speed of 125
m.p.h., the Chesterfield-based,
Med-Flight helicopter has made
it possible for victims of serious
accidents to receive treatment in
a fully equipped emergency
center in a time that is slightly
longer than the average
ambulance run.
Operated by the Virginia State
Police and housed in Fire Station
No. 14 in Chesterfield County, the
Med-Flight team is made up of
two state troopers and trained
paramedics from the Medical
College of Virginia (MCV) that
specialize in handling emergency
situations.
Fortunately for accident victim
Heather McCartney, Med-Flight
made it possible to receive
professional treatment at the
Medical College of Virginia's
Medical Center where she is
currently listed in critical
condition.
The Rotunda tips its hat to
Med-Flight and the people who
made it possible and hopes for a
speedy recovery for Miss
McCartney.

Lancer Sborts
Volleyball Team End§ Losing Streak
Longwood's hard-working
volleyball team got some return
on its effort Thursday night as the
Lady Lancers dispatched visiting
Virginia Union 15-10, 15-7, 15-7 for
their first win of the season.
Coming up Saturday is the fifth
Cindy Smith Memorial
Tournament. Longwood will host
Christopher-Newport, Methodist,
Ferrum, Sweet Briar and
Randolph-Macon Woman's
College in a round robin
tournament which will begin at
8:35 a.m. and end around 5:00
p.m. Each team will play at least
five games and the tourney
champ will have to play seven.
Longwood played at home
Monday against Christopher-
Newport and Lynchburg and
travels to Radford Thursday to
play the Highlanders and Wake
Forest.
Coach Linda Elliott hopes her
squad will have some new-found
confidence after last week's win
over Virginia Union
"We had a long team meeting
last Wednesday," said the coach,
"and I think it helped us get
ready. Virginia Union was just as
good as some of the teams which
had already beaten us, but our
play improved tremendously."
Seniors Dana Shockley, Karen
Moye and Holly Heame had 10
kills each in the win.
"We played at our own level
and we worked together as a
team should," said Elliott.
Longwood, despite its 1-13
record, has been competitive
with most of the teams on its
schedule.
Women's Tennis
Beat RMC
Freshmen Elizabeth Cho and
Lisa Pinchbeck teamed up to win
the deciding match at No. 3
doubles Friday afternoon as
Longwood evened its fall record
in women's tennis at 2-2 with a 5-4
victory over Randolph-Macon.
Cho also won her match at No. 5
singles to emerge as a double
winner in the contest. The Lady
Lancer netters close out their fall
play this week at home with a
match against Sweet Briar
Wednesday at 3:30.
Shockley Named Player Of The Week
Senior Dana Shockley played a
major role in Longwood's first
volleyball win of the season
Thursday night and for her
performance, Shockley has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
October 7-14. Player of the Week
is chosen by the Longwood Sports

A three-year veteran on the
Lady Lancer squad, Shockley
came up with 10 kills, converted
100 percent of her serves and also
passed well in the 15-10, 15-7, 15-7
victory over Virginia Union
Thursday night.
"Dana was a real fireball
Thursday night," said coach
Elliott. "She played her best
game of the year."
Shockley, who has been seeing
action as reserve, started last
Monday against Ferrum and did
a good job of setting up her
teammates in that contest.
Groff Is Raging
Lancer Golfers Finish Season This Week
Falling on hard times on a
tough course, Longwood's men's
golf team managed a 10th place
finish out of 13 teams in the
Ferrum Invitational Tournament
last Monday and Tuesday,
shooting 345-341-686 in the 36-hole
event at Groundhog Mountain,
Virginia.
Libersty University tied
Wingate College for the team title
as both teams wound up with a
score of 641.
Longwood finished its season
Monday in a six-team match at
Chowan. The Lancers will take a
3-1 match record into the action.
Ty Bordner paced the Lancers
last week with a 78-85-163. He
missed numerous birdie putts in
his second round of play.
Also playing for the Lancers
were: Ron Hatch 88-83-171, Mike
Passarell 90-87-177, Mark
Marshall 89-86-175, Lance
Reynolds 94-91-185 and Joe
Bemat 95-99-194.
"We played horrible," said
Coach Nelson. "It is a tough golf
course and it ate up some of our
younger golfers. We don't seem
to play very well on the tough
courses."
Hockey Team Faces
Tough Opponents This Week
Longwood's high-scoring field
hockey team faces a couple of
tough foes this week with a visit
to Radford Tuesday and a home
contest with Virginia
Commonwealth Thursday at
4:00. The Lady Lancers who have
a 10-2 mark currently.
Last Friday the Lady Lancers
dispatched Bridgewater 5-0
behind three goals from Sue
Groff and two from Traci
Strickland. Strickland added an
assist as did Sharon Bruce and
Diane Bingler.
Coach Sue Finnie picked
Strickland as offensive player of
the game and Bingler, who had 12
interceptions and one defensive
save, as defensive player of the
game.
Longwood has now scored 38
goals this season, more than any
Longwood team since the 1980
squad knocked in 43. The Lady
Lancers are averaging 3.2 goals
per game while giving up just 0.7.
From here on out, however,
there is nothing but Division I
opposition ahead. Tuesday's foe
Radford beat LC September 28 on
the astro-turf at James Madison
by a 2-0 score.
"We have three of our most
difficult games coming up, but
we have the potential to beat
these teams," said Finnie. "We
had twice as many shots as
Radford when they beat us. If we
could win two of the three games
we would be doing very well."
Groff's goal total is up to 17 for
the year and the second leading
scorer in Longwood history now
has 45 career goals. While Bruce,
LC's fifth best scorer with 26, has
11 goals in 1985, Strickland has
five goals for the year.
Saturday, Longwood fell to an
Alumni team 1-0 behind a goal
from Rala Heinen, who played on
last year's »}uad.
By TIM FITZGERALD
Sue Groff has just etched her
name into the Longwood College
record book by becoming the
second leading scorer in the
history of Longwood field hockey.
Amazingly enough, field hockey
is not even her best sport.
Groff, a senior, scored career
goals number 35, 36 and 37 on
September 20-21, in two games at
Appalachian State. She has now
passed Julie Dayton (34 goals)
and Carol Filo (35 goals) to move
into second place on the career
scoring list. Number one is Terry
Voit who scored an eye-popping
93 goals from 1974-19n.
It goes without saying that
Groff, a graduate of East High
School, in Glen Mills, PA, is a
standout in field hockey. Her
accomplishments in lacrosse,
however, are even more
impressive. As the dominant
force for the Lady Lancer
lacrosse team over the past three
years, she has set new records for
most goals in a career (128), most
goals in a season (50) and she has
been selected as the team MVP
all three years. Also, for her
versatility and overall atheltic
ability, she was chosen Longwood
Freshman Female Athelte of the
Year in 1983.
"I came to Longwood," said
Groff, "because it is a small
school. It has the curriculum that
I want, and I was offered a field
hockey scholarship."
Groff is living proof that
playing for a small southern
Virginia school is not a handicap.
She has gained national
^ecognition in more ways than
one. Along with being a two time
AU-American in lacrosse, she has
also been invited to the United
States Women's Lacrosse
Association National Trials in
each of her three years at
Longwood.
Groff's improvement at the
trials has been consistent. As a
freshman she was selected as an
.,^
SUE GROFF
alternate for the South VI squad.
She moved up to the South III
squad as a sophomore. Her
improvement continued last year
as she was named to the South II
squad.
"Being named to the South II
squad and being selected as an
All-American twice are the
biggest honors of my career so
far," said Groff.
While Groff has climed high on
the ladder of success, there are
still a few rungs that she wants to
reach.
"I want to make All-American
in lacrosse again. But my
ultimate goal, the one that I am
striving for the most, is to make
the U.S. lacrosse team."
With such lofty goals she
cannot afford to rest on her
laurels. According to new field
hockey and lacrosse coach Sue
Finnie, this will not be a problem.
"What makes Sue excel is her
attitude. She is a very hard
worker, and she is extremely
coachable. She is not only very
conscientious about her practice,
but she also thrives on
what ever it takes to improve her
game,"
Groff's hard work has already
paid off in field hockey. In
scoring 17 goals, she has helped
lead the team to a 10-2 record and
the best start since 1974.
Is burnout a problem for the
two sport standout?
"It is usually not a problem for
me," said Groff. Sometimes by
the end of lacrosse in the spring I
feel a little burned out. But by the
time I come back to school I'm
ready to go."
Since Groff is focusing her
attention on making the national
lacrosse team, it is not surprising
that on her list lacrosse ranks
ahead of hockey.
"I like lacrosse more because
for me, individually, it is not as
hard as hockey. On the other
hand, with the amount of new
players on our lacrosse team,
lacrosse is harder from a team
aspect. Overall, I guess they
balance out and compliment each
other. Playing field hockey helps
my lacrosse game, and playing
lacrosse helps my hockey game."
Even though she has achieved
a lot on the national level, Groff is
still proud of the feats that she
has accomplished at Longwood.
"The records and honors that I
have at Longwood are very
important to me. They really do
mean a lot."
In the midst of the field hockey
season, with Groff averaging
over one goal per game, she is
steadily increasing her lead over
the third and fourth place
scorers. While it may be
impossible for her to pass top
scorer Terry Voit, if she keeps up
her current pace, it may be a
while before anyone can surpass
her goal total.
Let's also not forget what she
has planned for the spring. In the
words of C^ach Finnie, "I've seen
her play field hockey, and I can't
wait to see her play lacrosse."

S.A.T. Scores
Rise Again
By JIM SCHWARTZ
This year's college freshmen
pushed the average Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) score up
faster than any year since 1963,
the College Board announced.
While board officials, who
oversee the administering of the
test nationwide, attribute the
increases to more scholarly high
school students and harder high
school courses, some critics think
it's because more students are
taking SAT coaching classes.
Whatever the reasons, the
average verbal test score was
431, up from 426 last year. The
average math score was 475, an
increase from 471 a year ago.
"1985 is the fourth consecutive
year in which at least one of the
scores went up," says George H.
Hanford, president of the College
Board.
All ethnic groups and both men
and women recorded higher
average scores, Hanford points
out.
"All of these trends would seem
to indicate that there is a more
positive attitude toward
academic pursuits in our high
schools and that many efforts at
the local, state and national
levels over the past decade to
improve the education of college-
bound students have begun to
bear fruit," Hanford asserts.
He adds more high school
students have been taking honors
courses in recent years.
While the trend is encouraging,
Hanford says "it is also clear that
we have no grounds for being
complacent about the state of
education in this country. We still
have a long way to go."
Hanford adds the
approximately one million
college freshmen who took the
SAT made up only 37 percent of
the students in the high school
class of 1985.
Others don't credit school
reform for the increases,
however.
Average scores rose primarily
because more students are taking
SAT tutoring courses, claims

AFTER 3:00 P.M.
Allan Nairn, co-author of a 1980
critique of the test.
"Some people benefit from the
coaching privilege," he says,
implying students who can afford
to take coaching courses have an
advantage over those who can't.
Various studies, all of them
disputed by the College Board
and the Educational Testing
Service (ETS), which actually
writes the SATs and computes
the scores, assert prepatory
courses can improve students'
scores by as much as 100 points.
As a result, "coaching is a
growing industry," says David
White, who has written two books
about how to take college
admissions tests.
"At the moment, I'm going
through the Graduate Record
Exam with a student," White
said during a phone interview,
"and we are getting the right
answers without even reading the
passages."
White says coaching courses
teach students how to recognize
patterns to questions, thus
enhancing their chances of
choosing the correct answers.
Thanks to the Truth In Testing
Act, passed in 1980, ETS has to
make old standardized tests
available to those who request
them.
"That helps coaching," notes
David Owen, author of "None Of
The Above," another critic of the
SAT.
But Hanford disputes the
coaching industry's claims.
"In the states where there has
been a lot of coaching, the
increases in scores have been
smaller," he claims.
Hanford himself is more upset
by the declining numbers of black
students taking the SAT. "In 1985,
8.9 percent of our test-takers
were black, compared to 9.1
percent in 1984."
"It is certainly reassuring to
see that blacks are scoring higher
on the SAT, but it is disheartening
to realize that fewer of them
appear to be considering going to
college," Hanford says.

College Students
Lonely
LINCOLN, NE (CPS) -
College students, particularly
entering freshmen, are more
lonely than virtually all other
social groups except single
parents, alcoholics and some
high school students, according
to a researcher at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"We have been very surprised
to learn that college students are
one of the more lonely groups of
people we've surveyed over the
years," says John Woodward,
UNL professor of human
development, who has given his
loneliness test to thousands of
people — including over 400
students — over the past 20 years.
After asking respondents how
they feel and behave in specific
social situations. Woodward
rates them on what he calls his
"loneliness index."
"Ironically, what we have
found is that high school and
college students — who you would
expect to be the least lonely of all
people — rate very high on the
loneliness index, while the
elderly — who you would expect
to feel lonely — are the lowest
group on the loneliness index," he
reports.
The only people lonelier than
entering freshmen, he says, are
alcoholics, single parents, rural
high school students and female,
inner-city high schoolers.
"We believe that students are
lonely for a good many reasons,"
Woodward explains. "Most of
them have been uprooted from
their family support systems,
their life-long friends, and are
searching to establish a new
support system in a strange place
among strange people."
In addition, he says, "college
students are in a period when
they have to make new decisions
about all sorts of things —
committing themselves to
college, building a philosophy of
life, setting rules for moral
behavior, what classes they will
take — and decision-making is a
very lonely process."
"College is indeed a time of
shaping and building for
students," agrees Thomas
Cummings, a counseling
education specialist at Arizona
State University.
"You can be in the middle of
New York City and still be
lonelier than if you were in
Muncie, Indiana," he notes. "And
a student in the midst of a new
campus can be surrounded by
people all day, and still feel
lonely because of the changes and
decisions they have to make."
Loneliness, says UNL's
Woodward, "is a very normal
human condition, but it becomes
a problem when it interferes with
someone's ability to function."
For instance, unusually lonely
students often can't study well,
isolate themselves from social
activities, and become depressed
and withdrawn.
"But something as simple as a
phone call home, joining a club or
organization, or going to church
can help students establish the
new relationships and gain the
self confidence they need to
overcome their loneliness,"
Woodward says.

Warren spied the dead pig

university control.
Meanwhile, frat members, who
paid Warren $50 for the pig, say
they want to improve relations
with Warren and with their other
rural neighbors who complain
about loud, disorderly parties at
the Sig Ep house.
"We didn't kill the pig for fun,"

Contest
Attracts
Crowd
One of the biggest crowds ever,
over one hundred strong, drank,
laughed and listened to the music
at the Lancer Cafe Wednesday
night. More populous than a keg
crowd, more entertained than by
a rock band, louder applauding
than even the music; these
people were here to watch fellow
Longwood students perform.
The occasion was the first
Wednesday Night Talent Contest
of the semester. Four extremely
talented students performed, and
the crowd loved them. Leading
off was Kukrit Pantoomano,
performing an original song with
his own accompaniment,
followed by Renee Martin singing
a Diana Ross song. DarreU
Janezic then played guitar and
sang a number of popular songs.
The final contest performance
was an original comedy routine
of George Carlin-Eddie Murphy
flavor by Stanley Isaac. Isaac
narrowly edged out Janezic in the
applause based award: twenty-
five dollars and a chance at the
final $200 contest prize at the end
of the year. After the contest,
Janezic and others remained to
entertain with various songs,
among them an excellent
rendition of "Stairway to
Heaven."
The event, which will be held

course, those fun loving clowns.
After hours of practice and
preparation are completed the
weekend is ready to begin.
This year it began at four
o'clock on Friday afternoon,
when students full of energy and
spirit participated in the annual
Red and Green color rush games.
These games for the most part
required very little physical
aptitude, but instead a lot of
cohesion and group effort. After
almost total domination by the
Red-n-Whites in the games,
attention then turned to that
messy paint battle that, for some
reason, everyone loves. In this
event the table quickly turned,
due to extraordinary turnout of
Green-n-White freshmen the
more timid Sophomores were
punished. Approximately two
hours and fifty bars of soap later,
a combination of Reds and
Greens performed a skit, written
by Kim Evoy, in Lancer Cafe.
After this fine exhibition of talent
there was a pre-mixer mixer in
Lankford to help get everyone
primed for the packed lower
dining hall.
After very few hours of sleep
most of the campus was
awakended by the desention of a
helicopter brought in by the
Army R.O.T.C. for the occasion.
Although this was far from being
the first activity of the morning,
because many students had
already been busy decorating
booths and preparing for visiting
alumni, parents, and prospective
students.
As the day progressed the
Oktoberfest parade, which for the
first time was lead by an
excellent Army band. Of the
entries to the parade by
Longwood organizations — Delta
Sigma Phi was first, the
Gymnastics team second, and
Phi Beta Sigma was third.
Immediately after the parade the
ushers danced for a rhymic
crowd, we heard a few words
from Giestmiester, Jim Steve
and Mittersmiester Jimmy Long,
and the Midway was opened.
Midway, as always was full of
people and interesting booths,
four of which were class booths
that were judged as part of Red
and Green competition. The
results were freshmen first.
Seniors second. Sophomores
third and Juniors fourth. This
clearly put the Red-n- Whites on
top, leaving them holding the
coveted Oktoberfest Cup, which
had traditionally always been
held b\ them up until a slight
lapse in spirit during Oktoberfest
1984. After a long day, the college
once again gathered for the;
annual Her Field Outdoor Mbcer '
I spon.sored by Giest.
Oktoberfest 1985 will be one to
remember, so whenever in the
future may you see a picture of
that old German miester with no
hands may you raise a beer and
say "Cheers to Oktoberfest."

Apartheid?
Apartheid, Apartheid,
It is a crime against humanity
It shames the very dignity of man.
Apartheid, Apartheid,
A racist policy that gives the white minority
The right to rule the land.
They hang, they shoot
They persecute
But the judgement day
My people say
No peace on the continent they'll be
There can be no peace
Until South Africa is free.
A Calypso Song from —
The Mighty Duke from South
By BRUCE SOUZA
The above lyrics probably
express the way a great many
people feel towards the
institution of apartheid.
Apartheid, with the exception of
the upcoming summit between
the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in Geneva,
is an issue which has dominated
the world press for the last three
months. With this in mind The
Rotunda gave the Longwood
College student body a chance to
express its views on apartheid
and on the state of affairs in
South Africa.
The students who participated
were chosen at random going
about their daily activities on
campus. Using the survey
method and a tape recorder to
collect data, The Rotunda coaxed
225 students into participating.
The first step was to identify the
problem, students were simply
asked whether they could explain
or define apartheid. This should
have been an easy question,
considering we have been
subjected to a media blitz
concerning apartheid.
The problems in South Africa
have been covered extensively by
Broadsides Now In Progress
By MELANIE COVINGTON
The dates for the publication of
Broadsides have been
announced. They are as follows:
1) November 25th ( Publication
for December 9th)
2) February 20th (Publication
for March 3rd)
3) April 18th (Publication for
April 28th)
Broadsides is a collection of
Longwood students literary
work. Everyone is invited and
encouraged to submit their work
for Broadsides. This invitation is
not for English majors alone, it is
for students of all levels and all
disciplines.
The staff needs short essays
(500-6(X) words), poetry, or any
other written work that you have
done. Maybe there's something
you wrote when you were in high
school, even an essay for an
exam. Broadsides is definitely
not just creative writing only.
Broadsides had a very
prosperous first year. Please
help it to have an even better
second year. If you have any
questions or submissions please
contract: Craig Challender,
-David James, or Bill Woods.
the press and by televison news in
the last three months. We have
seen whites killing blacks, blacks
killing and burning other blacks,
and now a new phenomena of
blacks starting to attack whites.
We have seen the Reagan
administration walk the tightrope
on this issue. Yet out of the 225
students that were asked to
identify apartheid 65 percent
could not do so. One of the
standard responses with "Ap
wah?" Among other things we
were informed that apartheid
was something to do with
archaeology, needy people,
inserts, and that it was oart of a
radio, and was a treaty between
the U.S. and Africa.
The remaining people who
showed some semblance of
knowledge concerning the
situation were asked a series of
follow up questions. Students
were subsequently asked if they
foresaw the black majority
overthrowing the white ruling
minority? Forty-two percent
believed that an overthrow would
occur; 36 percent thought that the
present regime would be able to
ride out the current political
turmoil, and 21 percent didn't
know. Those who thought that
there would be a change of power
from whites to blacks were asked
if the transition would be by
peaceful means or by a bloody
revolution. Most Longwood
students (53 percent) believed
that a violent revolution was
inevitable, while 28 percent
believed that a diplomatic
solution could avoid bloodshed.
Nineteen percent didn't know.
While other schools are
organizing protests against
apartheid and are urging
everything from sanctions to
divesture we here at the Wood
remain largely uninformed. Out
of all the people surveyed only
two people mentioned sanctions,
one person mentioned divesture,
and one remarked about Botha.
Strangely enough, black students
surveyed didn't seem any more
informed than anybody else. The
black students who were
informed raised questions con-
cerning black political unity.
One student compared the
Afrikaners' apartheid policy as
being analagous to the British
when they ruled in India. This is
an erroneous assumption since
the British had a homeland to
return to. The Afrikaners , on the
other hand, consider themselves
indigenous to South Africa. They
have ruled the country since the
1650's, and consider themselves
as the reason that South Africa is
the wealthiest countrv ont he
continent. Perhaps, if they had
wiped out the blacks like we
destroyed the American Indians
a hundred years ago the situation
today would be different.
After World War II the
European powers couldn't af-
ford their African colonies, and
gradually decolonization
occurred for almost all African
states. Freedom was given to the
African States with hopes of them
emulating western political
traditions.
Europe and the U.S. to this day
are still trying to foster
democratic traditions in societies
which remain largely tribal. The
Europeans divided Africa not on
the natives' terms, but in their
own selfish economic interests.
When these countries were given
freedom, instead of turning into
fledgling democracies the exact
opposite happened. Civil wars,
tribal conflicts, despots and
demogoguery were even more
common than the envisioned
democratic Africa. This is
largely the way Africa remains
today.
South Africa is in terms of
nation in Africa. The U.S. needs
their mineral wealth, they need
their mineral wealth, they need
our weapons. South Africa is the
class of the sub-continent,
militarily. They have, until
recently, been a stable
government in an unstable part
of the world. The recent political
turmoil has hastened western
nations to step up pressure of the
South African government to
make political concessions to the
overwhelming black majority,
political equality, but for the
Afrikaners to grant this would be
Afrikaners to grant this would be
to cut their own throats. Prime
Minister Botha continually states
"he encourages a dialogue with
black leaders" but he will neyer
grant them what they ultimately
want. The concessions now
offered are simply the
trimmings; the blacks want the
cake.
South Afirca is in a time warp.
Their society and their doctrine
of apartheid is nothing more than
legalized segregation and
slavery. They have remained
unchanged in a changing world,
which now wants to suddenly
conform them. The U.S. is
politically stuck in the middle of
this dilemma. The U.S. is
politically interested in South
\frican stability for ideological
and economic reasons. A timely
insurrection or long-term civil
war will destroy American assets
and interrupt the South African
economy.
The Reagan administration has
flip-flopped on this issue trying
not to anger western allies or
South Africa. The lowdown is that
we will still buy their gold, and
still sell them weaoons. amidst
talk of sanctions and-or di-
vesture. Even as the grassroots
movement continues to grow
against apartheid; you won't
hear Reagan condemning South
Africa. We'll do business with
whoever gets control of South
Africa; there is no doubt about
that. However, if a violent
overthrow does occur, it will be
largely done with Soviet made
weaponry, and once the blacks
get in control, they will owe the
Soviets at least political
friendship. So, for U.S. interests a
peaceful solution remains our
best bet to go politically and
economically unscathed
concerning South Africa.
Even if it were as easy as to
simply endow the black majority
with all the political power, who's
to say there would be peace, or
even stability. One must simply
look at Ethiopia, Mozambique,
Angola, and Zimbabwe to know
better. Certainly, some black
South Africans would gain
significantly, but chances are
most would remain dirt poor.
Some political solutions include
suggestions of a typ" of multi-
racial government This is
ridiculous! These people are
fighting over the pie, not portions
of it. Unfortunately, this situation
will culminate in a violent
revolution. Not for awhile yet,
because the A.N.C. does not have
the men or weaponry to challenge
the South African Army. South
Africa which spends three billion
annually on defense is still easily
in control of South Africa, and
militarily superior to all
surrounding Black African
countries. Sit tight. It's still going
to be awhile before Tutu, Tambo,
Buthelezi, Mandela get to
squabble over South Africa, and
who gets what.

"What are you all gonna do today?"
"Play video games and study."
"Cal and I are planning on experimenting with various com-

"You guys are a bunch of wheezing maggots. Why don't you do
something fun for once? Benji and I are gonna bring our trash cans
up to the 9th floor and hurl the contents out of the window piece by
piece. Come with us and be somebody."
Sounds like a scene from a low-budget teenage sex comedy,
huh? ^Vrong again, turkey-lip. The people who carry on similar
conversations and hurl deadly projectiles from high-rise windows
have filled out applications for admission (please include a recent
photo) to good old Longwood. Now they are in our classrooms,
across from us at meals, and high, high above our heads. Each is
armed and dangerous, capable and apparently willing to take a life.
Everyday crap flies out of the windows of Curry and Frazier.
Paper airplanes and saliva mostly, but without fail, some bonehead
weasel will toss something that could hospitalize the target and
imprison the marksman. This semester, the following items have
fallen from the high rises with bone-crushing force: hundreds of
bottles and cans, water balloons (one with a stone inside), pum-
pkins, ARA "mini-glasses", shoes, plates, books, light bulbs,
watermelons, clocks, chairs, eating utensils, a bed, and yes, a
television set. I mean, I get mad when the Redskins lose too, but we
need to set our priorities.
1 asked pledge Sean "Skip" Gorenflo to calculate the miles per
hour of these things (more Sig Ep hazing, you say?) in order to
discourage the parade of these bombs. Apparently height is the key
and anything thrown from a height of 110 feet will hit the ground at a
speed of around 63 miles per hour (wind resistence is a major factor,
far too complicated to go from my ear to my pen, but suffice it to
say that paper and like stuff fall safely and only make the place look
like a slum). The weight of the object determines the force of im-

pact. This explanation similarly went over my head and Gorenflo
spoon-feeds us with an analogy: a small beer bottle, launched from
one of the top floors would have an impact-force greater than that of
a (young) Tom Seaver fast ball. I've never faced Tom Terrific but
I've seen facial bones shattered in Junior Varsity high school games.
Early in the semester, a few cute young enterprisers were
tossing small water balloons out of a window. The objects were
hitting dry ground leaving craters and shooting mud all over cars
over 10 yards away.
This weekend, a young female student was one step away from
an ARA glass that had fallen from the sky. A murder charge would
not be out of the question for the bullet-head who pulled that stunt.
"Longwood Student faces Farmville judge for murder rap." Boy,
that would keep the toilets off the Rotunda front page. I'd personally
handle that interview, ya bum ya.
If you could find one of those valuable (due to rareness), unor-
ganized, confusing student handbooks that we have all heard so
much about, it would tell you that every student is responsible for
whatever goes on in (or comes falling out of) their own room. Your
boisterous playmate is setting you up for the big hit when he uses
your room as Cape Kennedy. And hey, it's the end of October and
judicial board is nearly trained and almost ready to make an
example out of you for next year's freshmen bombadiers. Anyone
busted for this act may well end up at some obscure community
college next semester and if you think the food is bad here wait till
you taste the mystery meat at one of those two-year training
grounds.
The highly dangerous habit of using windows as a trash shoot is
a recognized problem at Longwood College. If we do not stop our-
selves, the administration will give us a not so tender hand. Paid
window-watchers, permanently locked windows, and camera
surveillance have been suggested. Who knows what that wild and
crazy beauracracy will come up with to help us protect ourselves?
If you must throw something out that window, throw yourselves.
Be sure to call the Rotunda first so we can have cameras present.
Oh, and make sure nobody is under your window, 'cause you'll be
falling at 63 m.p.h. and you could hurt somebody.

Letters To The Editor
Mr. "Raio:
I read with sympathy your
comments about the effect of
apathy on your newspaper. I
have been chairman of enough
committees and editor of enough
publications to understand that
most things are done by the
impassioned few who cannot bear
to see left undone those things
which ought to be done. However,
on the issue of apathy itself, I
would propose to you and to your
readers a different perspective.
In the sixties (my generation)
apathy came to be defined as
anything which fell short of
fanaticism. It did not matter
particularly what a person was
fanatical about, as long as there
was some issue which prevented
peaceful slumber on a regular
basis. Fortunately (I think),
college students no longer
consider locking the dean in his
office to be a part of the advanced
curriculum. It is no longer
necessary to orate about social
injustice to spontaneous forums
of eager listeners on convenient
grassy corners. And, indeed, if
one expects a frenetic,
impassioned approach to writing
newspaper articles or changing
the honor system or getting out of
bed in the morning, it is true that,
with this generation of young
people, one will be disappointed.
However, I would like to point
out (fanatically, of course) that
there are other ways in which to
be non-apathetic. I wish very
sincerely that the students at
Longwood would see the
opportunities for enrichment and
growth that are here on this very
campus. These opportunities
have nothing to do with social
conscience or with cheerleader
maudlinism for the good old
school. They have to do with the
growth and enrichment of the
individual. The major is
important, certainly, and all
those wretched papers, and
showing up in class at 8:00 on a
Monday morning. But, there are
other things which in the scheme
of things can be just as vital to the
wholeness of the person.
Last night, I went to the
opening of Blithe Spirit, another
of Dr. Ijockwood's masterful
productions. There were very few
viewers for the occasion. Here
was a chance to be entertained,
for free in a world of expensive
pleasures. Here was a chance to
take a good hard look at a very
attractive, well constructed set.
How many of our students have
any idea what goes into the
making of a set? It doesn't just
happen to be on stage — even Dr.
Ijock's magic is not that great.
Here was a chance to think about
the techniques of coordinating
timing, even to have a gentle
laugh when the stage manager
jumped the cue on the music and
the actress had to cover with
some clever extemp. Here was a
chance to sit, as every natural
critic does, and decide if the
effect would have been better
with alternate blocking in a
certain scene. The farcical
entertainment also provided
some opportunity for serious
after thought on a wide range of
topics, not the least of them
relationships among women. The
whole act of theatre going is an
enrichment to any life; it is a
cultural experience; it gives one
the chance to be temporarily a
part of something greater than
self; it provides a lovely willing
suspension of disbelief in the
midst of our everyday mania.
Where were the three thousand?
Did every professor on campus
choose this week to assign the
most egregious of homework
tasks? I really hate to see our
students not avail themselves of
the enrichments around them.
Non-apathy does not have to
mean finding a cause and
vigorously serving it. It can mean
simply looking around and
identifying opportunities to enjoy
and broaden. The well rounded
individual serves himself better,
and, as a natural consequence,
serves all humanity better. In the
years to come, when the current
generation is out there in the
"real world," the teachers with
the wider experiental
backgrounds will teach better;
the businessman who
understands how people relate
will conduct better business; any
professional will do his job better
when he has more to give.
Obviously the Man-of-the-Year
Award is not given to someone
just because he attended Dr.
Lock's production of Blithe
Spirit. However, recogn i^m and
success come to those who take
opportunities, grow when they
can, enrich themselves, and think
creatively about the process of
broadening. Of the many
possibiliteis here, theatre
attendance must be one of the
most rewarding chances to grow,
think, learn, and laugh.
Ix)ngwood students do all four of
those things naturally, as so any
young people. I would
recommend the first step away
from vegetation be attendance of
the next play. Once devegetating
starts, it carries its own inertia
and it will spill over into other
areas — maybe even to working
for the Rotunda.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Editor,
When I enrolled at this college
a year and a half ago, I was told
that all that was reauired for a
student to pre-register for
courses was the payment of the
tuition deposit and any
delinquent fines that may occur.
Yet this year I was handed some
survey, of
about, and told that if I did not fill
it in and return it that I would not
be permitted to register for
classes. When I was in-
formed of this fact, I
promptly threw my survey in the
trash! Now I may be wrong. Lord
knows I have been before, but
where in the hell does the stu-
dent handbook or the college
catalogue state that I have to
complete some asinine student
survey so that I may be eligible to
register for classes. If this
college wants to throw me out
because I have refused to fill in a
questionnaire, then to hell with
them, I'll go somewhere else and
take my seventeen hundred
dollar tuition with me. I'd be
interested in knowing Ms.
Gorski's and the board of
trustees' opinion on this.
Respectfully submitted,
John C. Colangelo
Editor's Note: Get off Johnny C!
Editor of The Rotunda:
On the whole, the students at
lx)ngwood are a decent, fun-
loving, and reasonably hard-
working lot. Every now and then,
however, one or more real slime-
balls bubbles to the surface. A
case in point concerns the recent
cutting down of a large, mature
slash pine tree behind I.^nkford.
This malicious act of vandalism
occurred after Oktoberfest and
required planning, a saw and a
very malicious intent on the part
of the perpetrator(s). Not only
does this act deprive all of us of
the beauty and shade provided by
a mature tree, but it also reflects
on the values held by the entire
College community. As a result of
this act, the Landscape
Committee has decided to post a
$100 reward for information
leading to the arrest and
conviction (on a felony charge) of
the individual(s) responsible for
this desecration to our campus.
We hope to bring the responsible
individual(s) to justice, show the
good-will of the other concerned
campus citizens and discourage
further acts of malicious
vandalism on campus. If you
have any information that will
bear upon this incident please
contact one of the following
members of the Lancscape
Committee: David Briel or
Donald Merkle (Department of
Natural Sciences) or Homer
Springer ( Department of Art ) .

By FRED GRANT
Recently, many of the students
at Longwood have been called
apathetic because they don't
participate during class
discussions, or in other activities.
Although we know that there
may be some apathetic students
here, it is our opinion that the
fear of being embarrassed and
insecurity are the major
participation blockers.
When they were in elementary
school, chances are that if they
gave a wrong answer they were
laughed at. In high school, they
weren't laughed at for giving a
wrong answer; but their
classmates probably made com-
ments about the answer they
gave. By the time they reach
college, some of the students who
have been laughed at are starting
to doubt themselves. If not,
maybe they've seen so many
other students "get by" without
asking questions or participating
and decide to do the same.
But we are not here to just "get
by," we are here to do better. It is
our obligation as students to
attempt to further our education.
To do this, we must ask and
answer questions, prepare and
study for our classes, encourage
other students to do the same,
and most importantly, we should
not ridicule our classmates.
Dear Editor:
I write in response to "Mr."
O'Connor's letter in the October
15 edition of the paper.
A person is considered an adult
when he acts responsibly. Anyone
who plays games with alcohol is
not an adult, no matter what his
4k.
Chronological age is. Sadly, be
will probably never become one
and will continue to go around
whining when laws or rules are
passed which call upon him to
deny himself anything or to
exhibit self-discipline.

Rotunda Editor:
Sir, I would like to begin by
commending you on your most
recent edition. In short I am
impressed. It was very well done
and showed a high degree of
professionalism and good quality
journalism. Unfortunately my
primary purpose in writing is not
merely commendation, it is
however, in response to a small
yet powerful and inappropriate
phrase contained within the story
headlined, "Longwood Student
Critically Injured in Accident."
In this article found in your last
edition, the authors make what is
perceived to be a derogatory
reference to the ambulance that
"finally appeared ten minutes
after notification of the incident. "
For the record, I would like you to
know that the call was received
by the dispatcher at 1:47 a.m. At
1:51 a.m. the rescue squad
marked "en route" and the first
rescue squad personnel arrived
at 1:52. This is a total of five
minutes after the call was
received, while the full crew were
in action on the scene by 1:55
a.m., a total of eight minutes
after the dispatcher received the
call and well within the twelve
minute guideline observed by
such fine _ departments as
Chesterfield County, Norfolk
City, and Fairfax County, to
name a few. Granted, times can
always be improved but bear in
mind that after the dispatcher
receives a call he-she must then
awaken personnel (note 1:47 in
the morning), then allow time for
them to dress, and then race to
the scene.
As a student at liOngwood as
well as a member of the Prince
Edward Volunteer Rescue
Squad, it bothers me to see such
comments as those quoted from
your fine paper.
In closing, I would like to
invite, with all sincerity, anyone
wishing to help improve response
times, and other facets of the
Rescue Squad, to come down and
volunteer a little time, I would
simply say, we do the best we can
and if that is not good enough, go
ahead, cut our salary.

A.I.D.S.— Is Anyone Safe?
By JOHN TIPTON
Today in the United States
there are over 11,000 confirmed
cases of Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Currently the mortality rate is
estimated at 73 percent. If the
trend continues the number of
new cases will double every six
months.
In January of 1984 there were
only 3210 reported cases. It is
easy to see why a recent poll
revealed AIDS as one of the
biggest fears of Americans today
(AIDS is second, cancer is the
number one fear).
The first report of AIDS in the
United States was in "Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report" in
1981 when the Center for Disease
Control in Atlanta discovered an -
unusual strain of pneumonia in
five previously healthy male
homosexuals. Following that
report the CDC received other
reports of male homosexuals who
had a similar disease triad. One
disease included was Kaposi's
Sarcoma. This disease was very
rare in the United States and had
only been detected prior in
transplant patients.
AIDS is not exclusively a
disease for homosexuals
although 73 percent of all cases
are in that group.
17 percent of the cases are

attributed to intravenous drug
abusers. Hemophiliacs,
transfusion patients, and
heterosexuals each scored one
percent. Seven percent have been
' classified as other.
The symptoms of AIDS include
chills and nightsweats, chronic
diarrhea, a white blood cell count
of roughly 2000 below normal,
and substantial weight loss (up to
50 pounds in one year).
The disease can be in the
victim's body for quite some time
before being detected. Patients
who are suspected of contracting
the disease via a blood
transfusion or by "shooting up"
have a latency period of about 22
months. Homosexual males have
a variable latency period which is
difficult to pinpoint because of
the frequency and number of
sexual consorts.
What was thought true about
AIDS one year ago may not
necessarily be true today. One
thing that is known is that AIDS
can be contracted by the
transferring of body fluids from
an AIDS carrier to another
period. This can be achieved
through intercourse as well as a
drop of blood from an AIDS
victim entering an open wound.
Remember the sacred ritual of
becoming blood brothers? That
would not be advisable in this day
and time.

Health
Beat
By DEIRDRE McKENDRY
Smoking with that drink in your
hand seems like a casual leisure
activity, but both smoking and
drinking at the same time is a
hidden killer.
For every puff you take with
your drink, carcinogens in the
cigarette tar are deposited in the
nasal cavity. The alcohol in the
drink acts like a solvent and
dissolves the tar. Thus, the
carcinogens in the tar are
transported across membranes.
Also, both drinking and smoking
damages the liver, causing it to
overload itself with work. While it
battles alcohol, cigarette toxins
are allowed to enter the body.
The liver also clears fats from the
bloodstream. Alcohol decreases
the liver's ability to perform this
function. Drinking and smoking
at the same time results in
another type of hard work on
your system. Cigarette smoke
increases the coagulating
capacity of the blood. The
capillaries are thus clogged by
the blood cells due to this
coagulating action, and then food
and oxygen have to struggle to
reach the body's cells. The
alcohol-tobacco combination
makes the transport of food and
oxygen doubly difficult. Result?
Hyperventalation, among other
stresses on the body due to this
lack of oxygen.
Both long term use of alcohol-
tobacco results in cardiovascular
damage and liver damage. One
has to be aware to what extent his
habits can do to his body. One
little habit can do twice the
irreparable damage.

November 5 . . . just another
Tuesday, right? WRONG!! This
November will prove' to be
extremely important to the states
of New Jersey and our very own
Virginia as Republicans and
Democrats vie for the three
largest state seats: Governor, Lt.
Governor, and Attorney General.
Having had the honor of
working with Wyatt B. Durrette,
Jr. (Republican candidate for
Governor) this summer, I have
become familiar with several
interesting facts which many
people rarely consider. For
example, did you know that all
eyes are on VA as we head to the
polls? (N.J.'s incumbent is
expected to retain his title.) Did
you also realize that should the
Republican Candidates of
Durrette, Chichester and O'Brien
win, VA will be the first southern
state to have all three seats filled
by Republicans since Recon-
struction? Another interesting
fact stems from past encounters
between Durrette and his
opponent. This election will mark
the second time these candidates
will meet under election terms! !
These are just a few interesting
points which I found to be
worthwhile to mention. Also ... a
reminder to continue with the
Reagan agenda and get out there
and put the three best men into
office! (You know who they
are!!!)
Going Home This Vifeeiiend?
The ROTUNDA encourages you to VOTE on

what foods you need to add to your daily diet. Katzenburger will also
speak on how college students can improve their eating habits with the
right foods. Students who are dieting can find out the proper way to
diet with nutritional foods instead of starving themselves to lose
weight. All of those interested are invited, especially home economic,
computer, nutrition, P.E., pre-med and nursing majors.

Out To Be His Worst Enemy
Recently, at an elite social
function in Washington, I was
introduced to the world renowned
Venchly Troissant Parotis IX.
The well-known crusader against
sexually transmitted diseases
was in an unusually glib mood as
he disucssed the newest sexally
transmitted disease : Herpaid.
HERPAID: A WORKING DEFINI-nON .
HerpAid is a combination of Herpes Simplex II and Aids found in
dogs and humans. Transmitted from dog to dog through dog type
sexual contact, this disease causes a dog's throat to chafe and flake.
Through barking a dog transmits tiny particles of HerpAid simplex,
which immediately attach themselves to the nearest human. Humans
can transmit the disease back to dogs by allowing dogs to snatch
crackers from their mouths. Thus, the cycle is complete.
Since You Are
Probably Reading
This In Class, We
Provide This For
Note Taking...
Dear Rotunda,
As you are aware my contacts in the Capital have informed me that
the HerpAid simplex has found its way into the highest office of this
nation. It seems that the White House dog, Lucky, has contracted a
rare strain of the HerpAid virus. Officials in the administration
believe that Lucky's romp last month with the Haitian ambassador's
dog Baby Doc may have been Lucky's unlucky day. Informed sources,
who refused to identify themselves believe that Baby Doc may have
been involved in a dog type sexual contact maneuver with Lucky.
Insiders say that Lucky, who was given to the President by Rock
Hudson, is on his way to France for experimental treatment. Lucky
will reportedly undergo treatment of the Pasteur Clinic in Paris and
will then be whisked to the Betty Ford rehab center in California.
Officials will only say they are "concerned" when questioned on
HerpAid. Lucky had no comment.

THE ROTUNDA QUESTIONS
Venchley Troissant Parotis IX
Q: Why do you risk your life investigating the new killer disease
HerpAid Simplex?
A: I feel that life is a gift, and the gift of life cannot be taken for
granted, and these are the reasons that justify my never-ending quest
for a cure to HerpAid Simplex.
Q: So what does HerpAid mean to the average Longwoodian? How
can I avoid getting HerpAid?
A: What does it mean? What does it mean what does it mean?
What do you think I am, an idiot? It means if a dog carrying the
disease barks in your face, you're going to die! Also, if you see a dog
have dog type sexual contact with another dog you shouldn't let it bark
in your face. However, if you have HerpAid you shouldn't let a dog
snatch a cracker from your mouth. What does it mean?
(Parotis shakes his head with
disgust.)

This space contributed as a public service
By BETTY BRYANT
Robert Clater is a member of a
national "top 200." In fact, he's
the youngest member of that
special group.
Clater, working with the
managers of two 7-Eleven Stores
in the Manassas area, raised
$23,400 for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association during
summer 1985. The three are
among the top 200 fund-raisers
for MDA in the United States.
A junior at Longwood College,
Clater works part-time for 7-
Eleven. Because of his
enthusiasm and aptitude, he
received special permission from
company management to be his
store's "MDA representative."
7-Eleven Stores have been
involved in MDA fund-raising for
10 years, Clater said, and have
raised $42 million during that
period. "Jerry Lewis asked
for help from the company, and
he's certainly received it. Next to
customer service, raising funds
for MDA is the greatest priority
of 7-Eleven employees," he said.
The company sponsors a
national competition among its
store managers and this year is
rewarding the 200 most
successful MDA money raisers
with a six-day trip to Hawaii in
November.
Clater employed a variety of
fund-raising tactics, some of
which were arduous. For 32-and-
a-half hours, he sat in "jail" — a
small cage with metal bars set up
in a parking lot. That feat
brought in more than $500.
He spent 30 hours on a teeter-
totter, with two other Longwood
students — Mary Jane Carney
and John Waters — taking turns
on the other end. "I lost eight
pounds and couldn't walk when I
first got off," Clater said.
"We did the usual stuff, too,
like bake sales and yard sales.
We had little kids go door-to-door
asking for donations. People will
usually respond to little kids," he
said.
The approach that worked best
was simple and straightforward.
Clater calls it "working the
stoplights."
"You just get a permit, go to a
stoplight, and ask for donations
while people are waiting for the
light to change," he said. "People
will give! I couldn't believe the
response." His best record was
$800 in two hours.
"Occasionally someone would
give a big bill — like the woman
who gave $20 because her son has
muscular dystrophy — but
mostly we got change," he said.
After one evening of
stoplighting, he rolled 147 rolls of
pennies. "And you're not too
popular with the people at the
bank when you keep walking in
with several hundred dollars in
quarters."
Sometimes the response was
negative. "A few people said they
wouldn't give because they think
Jerry Lewis is on drugs or that he
gets all the money," Clater said.
His biggest disappointment
was his visit to the Pentagon. "I
got this bright idea to go to the
main entrance at the Pentagon
and ask for donations," Clater
said. "It took more than a month
to get the required permit, and I
took in only $36!"
The cooperation of town
officials, businesses, and local
radio and newspaper were
essential ingredients in Clater's
success, he said. "Many people
were just great in supporting our
effort — like the Nissan-Datsun
dealer who donated a new truck
for the winner of our Hands-On
Contest (person who stood with
his-her hands on the truck
without movement for the longest
period of time)."
He's already planning to raise
$50,000 for MDA next summer. "I
think we can double what we did
this year," he said. "I'm working
a deal with a race track owner
who has promised to donate one
night's gate and concession
receipts as a tax write-off. That
should bring in $25,000 in one
lump."
In the meantime, he'll work to
keep his grades up at Longwood
where he is majoring in
government with a minor in
business.
"7-Eleven has this career
planning program to encourage
young employees to stay with the
company," Clater said. "If they
think you have a future in the
company, they will reimburse
you for 80 percent of college
expenses. But you have to
maintain a C-or-above average.
"Also, I have to keep up-to-date
in all my classes so I can take
that week off next month to go to
Hawaii."
Next summer, Clater's
younger sister will be working for
7-Eleven and competing with him
in raising funds for MDA. "She
doesn't have a chance," he said.
"With that race track deal I'm
going to blow her out of the
water!"

Newspaper Explodes; One Sig Ep Killed Homos Recognized
In a bizarre tale of journalistic
travesty and ecumenical intrigue
and other worldlyism, a
strategism but truism occurred
last weekend.
It seems an unidentified
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon
(identity being withheld until
family can be notified) was killed
last week when an edition of The
Richmond Times-Dispatch
exploded in the vicinity of page
A6.
In the photo we see the remains
of this poor young, well-informed
man.
Rumors have been flying and
The Rotunda has learned that the
alcohol concoction seen in the
photo was placed there by a
confused paperboy trying to save
his job.
One man on the scene known as
"The Shroomer" to admirers,
said: "Like, hold on, okay, I've
never seen someting so
magnanimous, like I know that
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is
known for a few misquotes and
grammatical mistakes, but this
is totally, um, out of sine with my
understanding of the realm. ' ' Yes
indeed, clam down, young man.

were seen in the area, but seemed

The spread of Acquired-Immune-Deficiency-Syndrome
(AIDS) has made Gay Awareness Week obsolete. In truth, AIDS
has forced gay awareness year-round.
Nevertheless, in our true liberal spirit, The Rotunda will do
its share to advance the gay cause. Once again. The Rotunda
will give the Longwood conununity an opportunity to show their
support for homosexuals. Only this time we'll do it right.
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, Octol)er 30, we will begin the
celebration of Gay Awareness Trimester. During this period, we
will all be given the opportunity to show our support of homos by
wearing blue jeans, baseball caps, weight belts, any type of
undergarment and-or a swatch watch.

Wake Up!
By LEE RICHARDS
A funny thought occurred to me
on the way home for Fall break
as I pulled the car off the
shoulder for the third time in five
minutes — how in the world do
people like truck drivers keep
from falling asleep at the wheel
on those long hauls?
Granted, 1 only had to travel
173 miles, but after a week of
losing sleep to study for mid-
terms (not to mention making a
few newspaper deadlines) that
three hour drive seemed to drag
on forever.
So, in order to make sure that
I got home safely, I started
coming up with different ways to
keep myself awake. Here's what
I came up with:
• Play the radio very loud and
sing along with it. This usually
isn't too effective since you've
packed your speakers in with
dirty laundry, but try it if you can
— people very rarely sing in their
sleep (Note: knowing the words
to the songs is optional).
• Drink lots of coffee or cola —
if the caffeine doesn't keep you
awake, having to stop to go to the
bathroom will.
§ Open the window or turn the
air conditioner on — this will
usually give you a cold, but at
least you'll be alive to enjoy it.
f Play the air drums — by
physically exerting yourself you
generate adrenaline. If nothing
else, this method amuses the hell
out of the rest of us and thusly
keeps us awake.
• Stab yourself in the arm with
your fingernail — pain is another
good way to generate adrenaline,
but this method can be dangerous
if you get pulled over by the
police. Fingernail grooves look
surprisingly like track marks
(try to explain that one to your
parents).
• Wait until you fall asleep so
that when you hit the shoulders
it'll scare you awake. (Note: My
brother used this method once
and scared himself awake
enough to drive 300 miles
straight. He was shaking when he
got there — but at least he got
there).
• If worse comes to worse, pull
over to a rest stop and take a nap.
Try to dream about ax murderers
and werewolves so that the first
person who knocks on the window
to see if you are alright really
wakes you up!
t Take the bus.
• Don't go home.
Someone also suggested
getting one of those electronic
beepers to put in your ears so that
when you nod your head it goes
off. The only problem with that is
that most people can drive while
asleep for hours without moving
their heads an inch. If you don't
have that problem, try sticking a
toothpick in the collar of your
shirt so that when you nod your
head, youll get a little shock. At
least that way, you can save
some money.

Durrette Supports Education
When it comes to mixing
politics with education, Wyatt
Durrette, Republican candidate
for Governor, feels that he is the
best man for the job. His 18-point
Agenda for Excellence in
Education stresses the
importance of education while
also explaining the importance of
those who are doing the actual
educating ... the teachers of this
state.
Whatt supports merit pay as a
means of encouraging and
rewarding excellence. By this,
Wyat is saying that teachers
deserve to be rewarded for their
acts, just as the students are
rewarded for the amount of time
and work they put into their
studies. As a result, the state will
be able to increase the salaries of
those teachers who deserve the
raise, rather than go into debt by
raising the salary of all teachers
in this state.
The reform package which
Wyatt proposes will bring about a
major financial commitment to
education which will show great
improvements in our public
school system. The Standards of
Quality which Wyatt desires for
public education will include
merit pay as well as other
reforms. It is predicted that $500
million in additional funds will be
available during the next 2 year
state budget period. How the
funds are spent is the primary
question being asked. Wyatt
believes that his reforms will
give public education a new
meaning as well as educating
children with the much needed
skills which they are not
receiving today.
Among the proposals which
Wyatt has made in his 18-point
policy plan are:
— Family Savings-for-
Education Act. Allows parents to
create a special savings account,
similar to an Individual
Retirement Account, for their
children's education; state
income tax deducations of up to
$2,500 of the annual amount
deposited; savings tax free only
if used for a child's college
education; otherwise, funds
would be taxed at the usual rate.
— Tax incentives for
businesses that become actively
involved in local public schools.
— Scholarships for teachers to
continue their education.
— Local-option to elect school
board members.
— Curriculum and textbook
reform.
— Education-in-Virginia
Summit: Bring together parents,
civic and business leaders, school
board members, teachers,
principals, students. Goal: To
discuss what every child should
learn in school.
— Optional Virginia Regents
Exam: Help establish a
voluntary benchmark of
excellence for college-bound
seniors.
— Master Principal-Master
Administrator Career ladder.
Crime Solvers At L.C.
ByKIMDEANER
Prince Edward County in
cooperation with Longwood
College, Hampden-Sydney, and
the town of Farmville is in the
process of organizing a Prince
Edward Crime Solvers that
should be in action by Nov. 1,
1985.
Crime Solvers is set up to offer )W
a cash reward to the community
for providing information for any
crime. If a caller wishes to
remain anonymous then a
number is assigned and a cash
delivery will be in the strictest of (^p
confidence. The rewards can
vary from $150.00 for information
leading to the conviction of a car
thief or as high as $1,000.00
Crime Solvers is composed of a
Board of Directors from the
conununity. li^ngwood's Board
member Rick Hurley, Vice
President of Business Affairs,
holds the office of secretary. As a
Board member he will be
responsible for getting
contributions from Longwood
College and determination of
rewards based on the crime.
By LISA LINDSAY
In order to alleviate the
problems of last year's Academic
Probation policy, the Academic
Affairs office has created a new
policy to go into effect
immediately.
The first problem was the large
number of probation categories.
There were systems of regular
probation for: freshmen whose
cumulative quality point average
is less than 1.0 at the end of the
first semester, freshmen whose
cumulative quality point average
is less than 1.6 at the end of the
academic year, sophomores
whose cumulative quality point
average is less than 1.8 at the end
of the academic year. Juniors
whose cumulative quality point
average is less than 2.0. In
addition there was a "fast"
system for any student earning
less than .5 in any semester.
Having so many systems made
record-keeping a cumbersome
process. A second problem was
the difficulty of determining two
conditions for Academic
Probation (GPA and number of
semesters in attendance) and of
keeping student histories. Since
our present computer stores
grades only for the most recent
semester, all student histories
have to be followed manually — a
process complicated by those
students withdrawing and
reentering at different times, and
those being placed on different
categories of Academic
Probation. A third problem was
the lengthy suspension periods.
The suspension periods of the old
policy were one year suspension
— followed by one year on
Academic Probation — followed
by a 5-year suspension.
It was decided something had
to be done with all these
problems, so a new policy was
established to go into effect
second semester. The new policy
states : Students are expected to
make reasonable academic
progress and must maintain a
specified grade point average on
the number of hours attempted to
remain in good standing.
Students who fall below the
minimum standards for
continuance (shown in the table
in the new catalog on pages 33-34)
at any time will be placed on
academic probation or suspended
from school for one semester
immediately following. Decisions
about continuance at the College
will be made on the basis of all
grades on record at the end of
each semester.
Since academic probation
indicates serious academic
difficulty, students on probation
are encouraged to seek
assistance in improving
academic standing. While on
probation students are not
permitted to participate in
intercollegiate competitive
activities or to hold an office or a

semester immediately following
a session in which there was not a
sufficient grade point average.
Students may appeal suspension
decisions to the Faculty Petitions

circumstances.
The third suspension is
considered permanent; however,
students may request
reconsideration of the Faculty
Petitions Committee after a
period of five years, particularly

everyone involved. It will cut
down on the cumbersome amount

The college faculty expects this
new system to alleviate current
problems of record-keeping,
overlapping probation
categories, and the tendency (of
.some students) to procrastinate
in improving their grades.

Newspaper Explodes; One Sig Ep Killed Homos Recognized
In a bizarre tale of journalistic
travesty and ecumenical intrigue
and other worldlyism, a
strategisnn but truism occurred
last weekend.
It seems an unidentified
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon
(identity being withheld until
family can be notified) was killed
last week when an edition of The
Richmond Times-Dispatch
exploded in the vicinity of page
A6.
In the photo we see the remains
of this poor young, well-informed
man.
Rumors have been flying and
The Rotunda has learned that the
alcohol concoction seen in the
photo was placed there by a
confused paperboy trying to save
his job.
One man on the scene known as
"The Shroomer" to admirers,
said: "Like, hold on, okay, I've
never seen someting so
magnanimous, like I know that
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is
known for a few misquotes and
grammatical mistakes, but this
is totally, um, out of sine with my
understanding of the realm." Yes
indeed, clam down, young man.
Sources say that Palestinians
were seen in the area, but seemed

has forced gay awareness year-round.
Nevertheless, in our true liberal spirit. The Rotunda will do
its share to advance the gay cause. Once again, The Rotunda
will give the Longwood community an opportunity to show their
support for homosexuals. Only this time we'll do it right.
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, October 30, we will begin the
celebration of Gay Awareness Trimester. During this period, we
will all be given the opportunity to show our support of homos by
wearing blue jeans, baseball caps, weight belts, any type of
undergarment and-or a swatch watch.

Wake Up!
By LEE RICHARDS
A funny thought occurred to me
on the way home for Fall break
as I pulled the car off the
shoulder for the third time in five
minutes — how in the world do
people like truck drivers keep
from falling asleep at the wheel
on those long hauls?
Granted, I only had to travel
173 miles, but after a week of
losing sleep to study for mid-
terms ( not to mention making a
few newspaper deadlines) that
three hour drive seemed to drag
on forever.
So, in order to make sure that
I got home safely, I started
coming up with different ways to
keep myself awake. Here's what
I came up with:
• Play the radio very loud and
sing along with it. This usually
isn't too effective since you've
packed your speakers in with
dirty laundry, but try it if you can
— people very rarely sing in their
sleep (Note: knowing the words
to the songs is optional).
• Drink lots of coffee or cola —
if the caffeine doesn't keep you
awake, having to stop to go to the
bathroom will.
• Open the window or turn the
air conditioner on — this will
usually give you a cold, but at
least you'll be alive to enjoy it.
f Play the air drums — by
physically exerting yourself you
generate adrenaline. If nothing
else, this method amuses the hell
out of the rest of us and thusly
keeps us awake.
• Stab yourself in the arm with
your fingernail — pain is another
good way to generate adrenaline,
but this method can be dangerous
if you get pulled over by the
police. Fingernail grooves look
surprisingly like track marks
(try to explain that one to your
parents).
• Wait until you fall asleep so
that when you hit the shoulders
it'll scare you awake. (Note: My
brother used this method once
and scared himself awake
enough to drive 300 miles
straight. He was shaking when he
got there — but at least he got
there).
• If worse comes to worse, pull
over to a rest stop and take a nap.
Try to dream about ax murderers
and werewolves so that the first
person who knocks on the window
to see if you are alright really
wakes you up!
• Take the bus.
• Don't go home.
Someone also suggested
getting one of those electronic
beepers to put in your ears so that
when you nod your head it goes
off. The only problem with that is
that most people can drive while
asleep for hours without moving
their heads an inch. If you don't
have that problem, try sticking a
toothpick in the collar of your
shirt so that when you nod your
head, youll get a little shock. At
least that way, you can save
some money.

Academic Probation
Durrette Supports Education
When it comes to mixing
politics with education, Wyatt
Durrette, Republican candidate
for Governor, feels that he is the
best man for the job. His 18-point
Agenda for Excellence in
Education stresses the
importance of education while
also explaining the importance of
those who are doing the actual
educating ... the teachers of this
state.
Whatt supports merit pay as a
means of encouraging and
rewarding excellence. By this,
Wyat is saying that teachers
deserve to be rewarded for their
acts, just as the students are
rewarded for the amount of time
and work they put into their
studies. As a result, the state will
be able to increase the salaries of
those teachers who deserve the
raise, rather than go into debt by
raising the salary of all teachers
in this state.
The reform package which
Wyatt proposes will bring about a
major financial commitment to
education which will show great
improvements in our public
school system. The Standards of
Quality which Wyatt desires for
public education will include
merit pay as well as other
reforms. It is predicted that $500
million in additional funds will be
available during the next 2 year
state budget period. How the
funds are spent is the primary
question being asked. Wyatt
believes that his reforms will
give public education a new
meaning as well as educating
children with the much needed
skills which they are not
receiving today.
Among the proposals which
Wyatt has made in his 18-point
policy plan are:
— Family Savings-for-
Education Act. Allows parents to
create a special savings account,
similar to an Individual
Retirement Account, for their
children's education; state
income tax deducations of up to
$2,500 of the annual amount
deposited; savings tax free only
if used for a child's college
education; otherwise, funds
would be taxed at the usual rate.
— Tax incentives for
businesses that become actively
involved in local public schools.
— Scholarships for teachers to
continue their education.
— Ix)cal-option to elect school
board members.
— Curriculum and textbook
reform.
— Education-in-Virginia
Summit: Bring together parents,
civic and business leaders, school
board members, teachers,
principals, students. Goal: To
discuss what every child should
learn in school.
— Optional Virginia Regents
Exam: Help establish a
voluntary benchmark of
excellence for college-bound
seniors.

Crime Solvers At L.C.
By KIM DEANER
Prince Edward County in
cooperation with Longwood
College, Hampden-Sydney, and
the town of Farmville is in the
process of organizing a Prince
Edward Crime Solvers that
should be in action by Nov. 1,
1985.
Crime Solvers is set up to offer )
a cash reward to the community
for providing information for any
crime. If a caller wishes to
remain anonymous then a
number is assigned and a cash
delivery will be in the strictest of (^^
confidence. The rewards can
vary from $150.00 for information
leading to the conviction of a car
thief or as high as $1,000.00
Crime Solvers is composed of a
Board of Directors from the
community. Longwood's Board
member Rick Hurley, Vice
President of Business Affairs,
holds the office of secretary. As a
Board member he will be
responsible for getting
contributions from Longwood
College and determination of
rewards based on the crime.
By LISA LINDSAY
In order to alleviate the
problems of last year's Academic
Probation policy, the Academic
Affairs office has created a new
policy to go Into effect
immediately.
The first problem was the large
number of probation categories.
There were systems of regular
probation for: freshnnen whose
cumulative quality point average
is less than 1.0 at the end of the
first semester, freshmen whose
cumulative quality point average
is less than 1.6 at the end of the
academic year, sophomores
whose cumulative quality point
average is less than 1.8 at the end
of the academic year, Juniors
whose cumulative quality point
average is less than 2.0. In
addition there was a "fast"
system for any student earning
less than .5 in any semester.
Having so many systems made
record-keeping a cunnbersome
process. A second problem was
the difficulty of detemnining two
conditions for Academic
Probation (GPA and number of
semesters in attendance) and of
keeping student histories. Since
our present computer stores
grades only for the most recent
semester, all student histories
have to be followed manually — a
process complicated by those
students withdrawing and
reentering at different times, and
those being placed on different
categories of Academic
Probation. A third problem was
the lengthy suspension periods.
The suspension periods of the old
policy were one year suspension
— followed by one year on
Academic Probation — followed
by a 5-year suspension -
It was decided something had
to be done with all these
problems, so a new policy was
established to go into effect
second semester. The new policy
states: Students are expected to
make reasonable academic
progress and must maintain a
specified grade point average on
the number of hours attempted to
remain in good standing.
Students who fall below the
minimum standards for
continuance (shown in the table
in the new catalog on pages 33-34)
at any time will be placed on
academic probation or suspended
from school for one semester
immediately following. Decisions
about continuance at the College
will be made on the basis of all
grades on record at the end of
each semester.
Since academic probation
indicates serious academic
difficulty, students on probation
are encouraged to seek
assistance in improving
academic standing. While on
probation students are not
permitted to participate in
intercollegiate competitive
activities or to hold an office or a
chairmanship of a standing
committee of a student
organization.
Academic suspension means
required withdrawal from the
College for a period of one
semester immediately following
a session in which there was not a
sufficient grade point average.
Students may appeal suspension
decisions to the Faculty Petitions
Committee, particularly when
there have been extenuating
circumstances.
The third suspension is
considered permanent; however,
students may request
reconsideration of the Faculty
Petitions Committee after a
period of five years, particularly
when there have been
extenuating circumstances.
The new policy will help
everyone involved. It will cut
down on the cumbersome amount
of paperwork and help organize
the system. For the student,
there will be early notification of
one's academic status to be
printed on one's grade sheet, and
clear indications of the GPA
needed in order to avoid
academic probation and
suspension.
The college faculty expects this
new system to alleviate current
problems of record-keeping,
overlapping probation
categories, and the tendency (of
.some students) to procrastinate
in improving their grades.
While the system looks
complicated at first glance, with
a little practice you really should
find it easy to use. If anyone has
any questions on the New
academic probation policy or the
college transition to it, please

Apathetic Situation
ByKIMSETZER
The ongoing problems still
exist here at I^ngwood — the
student's apathy and I^ngwood
being known as a "Suitcase
College." A person trying to
correct these problems is Paul
Striffilino, head of the Student
Union. Striffilino feels that
students should try and take
advantage of the Student Union.
He states, "to me the Student
Union is a student organization
which prcvides leadership in
bringing m entertainment,
recreational, social and religious
programs for Longwood's
campus and surrounding
communities."
The problem is getting students
to become more involved and to
stay here on the weekends. The
Student Union will give out
surveys in the springs to find out
what students want to see. This
includes choices in particular
programs, film choice, live music
and lectures.
Striffilino agrees that
Longwood needs to get in big
bands. But decent bands cost
between $15,000 and $20,000. The
price of the ticket is so large that
students can't afford it. Acts like
Tina Turner are asking around
$70,000. Striffilino is currently
talking to the Dean of Students at
Hampden-Sydney College about a
joint venture in getting a large
act. There needs to be a neutral
spot so both campuses can feel
equal. If it is outdoors and it
rains, there will be a significant
loss of money.
S-UN has brought a number of
small bands and entertainers.
Bringing in single entertainers
and having them perform in the
Lancer Cafe is more intimate and
more like a club. Last year there
were many "teasers" in the
dining hall. A teaser is when the
performer gives a taste of his act
during dinner. But this causes
problems because performers
usually get to the school after
dinner, or they need that time to
set up. Striffilno states,
"Students should take advantage
of the activities sponsored by
SUN because that is where a
large part of their student
activities fees go to."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
The current effort to renew the
landmark Higher Education Act,
which sets the outlines of federal
college policy through the next
five years, has broadened into a
spirited debate over just how
involved the federal government
should be in higher education.
By law, Congress must renew
the act every five years.
In the past, the renewal
processes has featured routine
political arguments over whether
to start new programs and how
much money to give old ones.
This time, led by U.S.
Education Secretary William
Bennett, critics are promoting a
series of fundamental changes in
the law that, if enacted, would
begin a new era of college
history.
"The warning shots suggest
this will be a much more basic
debate than the previous five-
year reauthorizations," says
University of Minnesota
education Prof. Jim Hearn, who
has studied the impact of the
original 1965 Higher Education
Act on colleges.
Bennett recently announced he
would unveil his proposals for
ammending the Higher
Education Act in January, but
previous comments suggest he'll
try to cut most programs.
The celebrants say the law,
which effectively invented most
student financial aid programs
and fueled an era of
unprecedented growth in
American higher education,
made it possible for a society to
educate much of its middle and
lower classes for the first time in
history.
The critics say the law, in fact,
made it too easy to go to college,
let colleges make themselves too
expensive to be useful, and
lowered the quality of college
educations.
It's so easy for students to get
federal aid that schools "accept
students who are unprepared or
uninterested in rigorous
academic training," contends
Eileen Gardner of the Heritage
Foundation, a Washington, D.C.
think tank whose education
policies have been adopted by the
Reagan administration in the
past.
The easy money "has
prompted too many colleges to
abandon substantive core
(curricula) in favor of a
hodgepodge of courses geared to
the intersts of those
(uninterested) students, thereby
gutting the value of a college
education," Gardner charges.
"A lot of colleges have sat-
isfied their urge to grow by
enrolling kids who shouldn't be in
college, and grabbing the federal
money these kids bring along,"
adds Raymond Lewin, president
of Pierce College in Philadelphia.
"It's foolish," he says, "to
spend $4,000 to $5,000 to send
someone who doesn't know how
to read to college."
Critics also contend the Higher
Education Act allowed colleges to
raise tuition with impunity,
figuring the federal government
would simply increase aid
enough to help students pay the
higher fare.
And because colleges could
raise money so readily, they
could pay fat teacher salaries,
impose light teaching loads and
grow large, inefficient
bureaucracies.
Some academicians, while
acknowledging college standards
have fallen, say it's wrong to
balme federal programs.
"Wherever quality has slipped,
it's been self-inflicted," says
Robert Hardesty, president of
Southwest Texas State
University — site of Lyndon
Johnson's signing of the Higher
Education Act in 1965 — and host
of the national anniversary
ceremony on November 7-8.
Hardesty thinks critics of the
Higher Education Act are
"elitists" upset that too many
people are getting degrees,
"revisionists" who are wrong to
say the act was never designed to
send poor students to private
schools, or "thinly-disguised
racists" who mask their
prejudices with a professed
concern for educational quality.
By BRYAN ABAS
Minnesota's Hearn says it's
'naive" to attribute academic
iroubles to financial aid, adding
he thinks any decline in
educational quality results from
a complex mix of factors.
Even critic Gardner stops short
of saying financial aid is a
primary cause of lower quality,
claiming instead there is "a
strong probable connection"
between the two.
Still, Gardner — and probably
the administration — are
detemiined to convince Congress
to use the reauthorization debate
to make it harder for students
and colleges to get federal
money.
Some observers, for example,
expect Bennett to propose that
students maintain higher grades
in order to get and keep federal
aid.
Lewin of Pierce College, who
supports the idea, estimates
anywhere from 25 to 50 percent of
the students who now get aid
would lose their loans and grants
if Congress agreed to it.
The same critics have failed to
convince Congress to approve
cutbacks and similar changes in
the la.st three years, but Gardner
thinks the administration could
win this time if it sticks to its
principles.
"There is a failure (in the
administration) to walk these
things through," she says. "Sure
it's walking against the tide, but
you have to keep pushing."

Soccer Team Ranked 19th,
Beat Radford, Tie With Tech
With its hopes for postseason
play still alive, Longwood's
soccer team was successful last
week, beating Radford 1-0 in
overtime Wednesday and
battling Virginia Tech to a 1-1
overtime tie Saturday. Should the
19th ranked and 10-4-2 Uncers
win their three remaining games,
a spot in the Virginia
intercollegiate Soccer
Association Playoffs is almost
assured and a berth in the NCAA
playoffs is a possibility.
Coming up this week is a home
game with Hampden-Sydney
Wednesday at 3:00 and a visit to
rival Randolph-Macon Sunday at
3:00. The regular season finale is
November 6 when Averett visits
for a 2:30 contest. Both the
Randolph-Macon and Averett
games are VISA Eastern
Division contests, l^ngwood is 1-
1-1 in Eastern Division play, but
can finish first or second with
wins over the Yellow Jackets and
Averett.
Defense has been the name of
the game for lx)ngwood over the
past three weeks and the
ringleaders of that defensive
effort have been goal keeper Rob
Liessem, and sweeper Erick
Karn. Liessem had 10 saves in
Wednesday's win over Radford
and came back with 11 Saturday
against Division I Virginia Tech.
Liessem Named Player
Liessem Leads Defense;
Named Player Of The Week
Junior goalkeeper Rob
Liessem had 21 saves in two
games last week for the
Ix)ngwood soccer team and for
his performance, Liessem has
been named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the period
October 20-27. Player of the Week
is chosen by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
A key factor in Longwood's 10-
4-2 record in soccer, Liessem
came through with 10 saves in a 1-
0 overtime win over Radford
Wednesday and turned away 11
Virginia Tech shots in a 1-1
overtime tie Saturday afternoon.
The junior standout has
allowed just 14 goals in 14 games
for a goals against average of 1.0.
He has also come through with 88
saves for an average of 6.3 per
game.
Coach Rich Posipanko says
Liessem has the potential to have
a shot at professional soccer if he
continues to work and improve.
"Rob has great hands," said
the coach. "He stops just about
every shot that he gets his hands
Karn is the last line of defense
in front of Liessem and has been
outstanding all season. Time
after time, the junior defender
has stopped the opposition from
getting off a clear shot at the
Ix)ngwood goal. No one has
scored more than two goals
against the Lancers in 16 games.
A goal by Craig Reid in the
second overtime gave the
lancers their win over Radford
in a fiercely contested battle
Wednesday. The Highlander
keeper seemed to have the shot
stopped, but it slipped through his
hands and into the net.
Saturday, Mark Kremen
scored on a set play from about 25
yards out on an assist from
Ix)ngwood scoring leader John
Kennen. Kennen now has eight
assists and five goals for the
season. Kremen's first-half goal
tied the Hokies 1-1 and neither
team was able to score after that.
"We came up with two real
good efforts last week," said
coach Posipanko. "If we play like
that the rest of the year, we'll be
in good shape. We cannot afford
any more losses."
Longwood has gone 2-3-2 after
getting off to an 8-1 start and has
scored just four goals in its last
seven games. Defense has kept
the team in the hunt for
postseason honors.
Of The Week
ROB LIESSEM
on. He has as much ability as
some of the keepers I coached
with Houston Dynamos last
summer, but he needs to continue
working. He has the potential to
improve even more."
The 6-2, 195-pounder has four
shutouts to his credit this season.
His play has helped Longwood
prevent any of its opponents from
scoring more than two goals.
SPORTS FEATURE
By TIM FITZGERALD
When Ty Bordner first came to
Ix)ngwood in 1982, he could barely
hit a golf ball, and he had no idea
where it would land says
Longwood golf coach Steve
Nelson.
Now Nelson says Bordner is
one of the top two golfers to ever
play at Longwood.
That puts him in the company
of Ix)ngwood's All-American Tim
White. White, who carried a 75.2
stroke average, finished 14th out
of 120 golfers in the 1980 Division
III National Tournament.
"I came to Longwood to play
baseball, but unfortunately I did
not make the team," said
Bordner. "I decided to go out for
the golf team, and I made the
team."
With less than two years
experience as a golfer, Ty still
made the traveling squad his
freshman year.
"1 played in the sixth position
which is the last man on the
traveling squad. My goal was just
to improve."
And improve he did. In the
spring season of his sophomore
year, Ty alternated between the
1,2 and three positions. His stroke
average of 79 was the lowest on
the team.
Knowing that more
improvement would come only
through practice, Ty sat out of
school last year to work on his
game.
"During that year my swing
became more consistent," said
TY BORDNER
Bordner. "I didn't learn many
new things, but I became more
consistent overall."
Once back at Longwood,
Bordner combined his new
consistency with some advice
from Longwood's club
professional Mac Main to
produce some super results. His
stroke average of 77.2 was the
lowest on the team this fall.
Ty also set a new school record
for 36 holes by shooting a 71-72-143
in the Old Dominion Golf
Tournament. He shot a 73 to earn
medalist honors in a tri-match.
For these accomplishments, Ty
was recognized as Longwood
College Player of the Week.
"I owe a lot to Mac Main," said
Bordner. "Most of the new things
I learn, I learn from him. He just
helps me a lot."
According to coach Nelson, Ty
is playing really well right now.
"He has more confidence than
in the past," says Nelson.
"Because of this confidence he is
playing more aggressibely. It
gets him in trouble sometimes,
but overall I think it helps him."
Nelson points out that Ty's
amazing improvement is a pay
back for the amount of time and
hard work that Ty puts into his
game.
"Ty is one of the most
conscientious, hard working
athletes at Ix)ngwood. He plays
golf year round, even in the snow.
I have seen him, many times, hit
golf balls until his hands blister.
That is dedication."
Ty has some definite goals in
mind when it comes to golf.
"I want to be an All-American
before I leave liOngwood," says
Bordner. "If I continue to work
hard, I think I can do it."
Ty would also like to continue
to play competitively after
college.
"I would love to make the PGA
tour, but I will have to work so
hard, practice a lot, and improve
a whole lot."
Considering how hard a worker
he is, and how much he has
improved in just four years, Ty
Bordner just might have a shot.

Season Ends with 11-4 Record
A tough 2-1 loss ended the
regular season for Longwood's
field hockey team Friday
afternoon, but the Lady Lancers
can take pride in having
compiled the best record since
the 1975 squad went to 16-5-4 and
finished fifth in the nation.
Coach Sue Finnie's team ended
up with a fine 11-4 record, scoring
43 goals while giving up just 14 in
15 games. Only two teams scored
more than one goal against the
Lady Lancers.
"We played well at Duke," said
Finnic. "They had 24 shots to 16
for us, but we played excellent
defense. Tanmiy Marshall and
Diane Bingler combined to hold
down Duke's top threat."
Sophomore Traci Strickland
tied the score at 1-1 on an assist
from Sharon Bruce 27 minutes
into the game. Duke got the
game-winner early in the second
half.
Goalkeeper Haidee Shiflet had
10 saves, while Marshall had 16
interceptions, Bingler and Claye
Conkwright nine each, and Kris
Meaney eight.
KRIS MEANEY
Finnic chose Strickland as
offensive player of the game and
Meaney and Lesley Rapoza as
defensive players of the game.
For the season, senio''s Sue
Groff and Bruce led Longwood in
scoring. Groff had 19 goals and
Bruce 11. Strickland scored six
goals. Groff ended her career
with 47 goals, second best ever at
Longwood, while Bruce totaled 26
career goals to rank fifth on the
all-time list.
Volleyball Meets Stiff Competition
Longwood's women's
volleyball team traveled to
Lynchburg over the weekend to
play in the Liberty University
Classic Tournament and the
I^dy Lancers ran into some stiff
competition.
Coach Linda Elliott's squad,
which was hampered by the
absence of injured Mary Friga,
suffered five losses and ended up
ninth in the 10-team tournament.
Longwood's tournament scores
were as follows: Charles County
C.C. defeated LC 15-2, 15-3,
Kutztown was victorious by a 15-
9, 17-15 score, Liberty beat LC 15-

Tina Barrett, Longwood's
women's golf team concluded its
fall play with an Uth place finish
out of 14 teams Sunday afternoon
in the 10th I^dy Tar Heel
Tournament. The 54-hole event
was played at UNC's Finley Golf
Course in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina.
Host UNC emerged the victor
with a final round 298 to beat
second place Kentucky by five
strokes. Longwood, which totaled
969 to the Udy Tar Heels' 903,
slipped from 10th to 11th on the
final day with a 327.
Barrett tied for 22nd out of
more than 70 golfers, shooting a
79-78-75-232.
Soph Tammy Lohren also had a
consistent tournament with an 83-
82-79-244. The rest of lx)ngwood's
team, however, had an up and

Banks Receives Dos Passes Award LoilffWOod's Art
Faculty Exhibit
Novelist Russell Banks
received Longwood's 1985 John
Dos Passos Prize for Literature
in a ceremony October 29. At the
ceremony, in which he received
$1,000 and a medal, Banks read
from an early collection of short
stories, titled Searching for
Survivors, and from a new
collection of short stories.
Russell Banks has been praised
by both critics and fellow writers.
The poet Charles Simic calls
Banks "one of our most sensitive,
skillful writers;" and Frank
MacShane, director of the
graduate writing program at
Columbia University, commends
Banks for being, like Dos Passos,
a writer "who deal(s) with
America in the widest social
sense."
Jerome Klinkowitz, an
important critic of contemporary
American literature,
characterizes Banks and his
work: "He's on the leading edge
of synthesizing the great
innovations in fiction during our
time and fashioning them into an
accessible, mainstream literary
art: he is especially brilliant at
finding the fictive element in
history . . . Professionally, he's
regarded as the most generous
and helpful writer in the
country."
Banks is a native of New
Hampshire. After briefly
attending Colgate University in
the late 1950's, he dropped out of
academia for five years. During
that time he worked as a
plumber, meeting people and
acquiring experiences which
eventually found their way into
his fiction.
Banks returned to college in
1964, when he entered the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. He graduated Phi
acceptance. His short fiction
appeared in The Best American
Short Stories in 1971 and 1975, and
1975 also saw his publication in
Prize Stories: The 0. Henry
Awards.
To date. Banks has published
two books of poetry, three
Beta Kappa in 1967, with highest
honors in English literature and
creative writing.
That same year Banks, along
with poet William Matthews,
founded the Lillabulero magazine
and press, which published
Banks's first lx)ok — a collection
of poetry entitled Waiting To
Freeze — in 1969.
By the mid-1970s Banks's work
began to find critical and popular
collections of short stories, and
five novels, including Family
Life in 1975 and Hamilton Stark in
1978.
Banks presently is a Visiting
Writer at Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege and a Visiting Lecturer in
Writing at Princeton University.
Among his other honors and
awards are two Woodrow Wilson

The eight members of
Longwood College's art faculty
are exhibiting their work in the
college's Bedford Gallery
through November 15.
The individual talents and
interests of these artists are
demonstrated in a fascinating
mix of media, subjects, and
artistic "vision."
Included in the exhibit are: a
group of garments made of
handpainted and dyed fabrics by
Enid Adams; jewelry by Mark
Baldridge; watercolor-and-
mixed-media drawings by Jenny
Barone; photographs and a
handmade paper work by
Barbara Bishop; sculptural
reliefs by Eduard Betenas;
ceramics by Randall Edmonson;
photographs by Elisabeth Flynn;
and quilts, pillows, drawings, and
handmade paper bas-reliefs by
Homer Springer.
Enid Adams used French
watercolor dyes on silk fabric to
create the soft, luminous colors of
her blouses and jackets. An
adjunct member of Longwood's
faculty, she has a studio in The
Plains (Fauquier County) where
she designs and produces
yardage for clothing,
accessories, and interior
decoration.
Mark Baldridge's jewelry
pieces — a ring, two pendants,
and earrings — are of 14K gold
and titanium with zircon, pearl,
and diamond settings.
Jenny Barone is showing seven
drawings done with gouache
(opaque watercolros), ink and
pencil. Ms. Barone, of Keysville,
is teaching basic photography
and drawing at Longwood this
semester. She has taught
previously at a community
college and an arts center in New
Jersey, directed a children's
developmental program at
Temple University in
Pennsylvania, and has done
illustrations for several
textbooks.
The five "tabletop" sculptural
works by Eduard Betenas are
sandblasted soapstone reliefs of
flower and plant motifs. They
have intriguing titles —
Voluntary Dependence,
Celebration of Return, Flowers of
Liberty, Melodical Keynotes, and
Sequential Breakthrough.
Three of Barbara Bishop's
selenium-toned photographs are
studies of the exterior of Briery
Church that capture the
geometric interplay of light and
shadow on the vertical siding.
The fourth photograph shows
several cats sunning themselves
in front of a rundown country
store-gas station.
Ms. Bishop's handmade paper
work is titled "Earth Shelter,

Number Seven
From Russia With Hate
By JOHN BARRON
C 1985 The Reader's
Digest Assn. Inc.
On an Afghanistan hillside one
summer morning in 1984, ten-
year-old Narainjan was tending
his sheep. The pure highland air
was balmy, the meadows were
tranquil, and the war seemed far
away.
Pursuing an errant lamb,
Narainjan spotted something
very pretty lying in the grass.
White and glistening in the
sunlight, it looked like a jewelry
box. But the instant he picked it
up, the box exploded,
Another shepherd found
Narainjan unconscious two hours
later. His left hand was a
mangled mass, and only the little
finger and half an index finger
remained on his right. Three
days passed before the
mojahedin (freedom fighters)
managed to smuggle him into a
hospital in Kabul, the Afghan
capital, where a surgeon
amputated his left hand.
Unable to hold a stick or toss a
stone, Narainjan never can be a
shepherd again. He cannot dress
himself. With difficulty, he can
hold a spoon in what is left of his
right hand. Now a refugee in
Pakistan, he hopes someday,
some way, to go to school. "I
think I might learn to hold a
pencil," he told me.
Doctors at the Afghan Surgical
Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan,
near the Afghan border, and from
the International Medical Corps
recount similar case histories: a
seven-year-old maimed by a
blast from a seemingly harmless
canteen; a 12-year-old shorn of
three fingers by an explosive
charge concealed in a pen; a
toddler mutilated by a bomb
disguised as a doll, perhaps the
most diabolical form yet seen of
these Soviet weapons specifically
targeted at children
Occasionally, the blast from
such a "plaything" kills a very
small child. But the real purpose
of the toylike bombs (some
concealed in brightly colored
miniature trucks, planes or balls)
is to maim. The Soviets load them
with just enough explosive to
remove or mutilate feet and
hands. Children thus crippled
become living symbols of terror.
No one knows how many
children these "toys" have
dismembered. But testimony
from the United Nations
Conunission on Human Rights
and from numerous foreign and
Afghan physicians indicate that
the number of young victims,
such as the five-year-old above,
may run into the thousands.
The Ibn-i-Sinna Hospital in
Peshawar is small and difficult
for Afghans to reach. Yet, during
interviews there, I learned that in
the first three months of 1985,
relatives brought in 15 Afghan
children whose hands or feet had
been blown up by disguised
explosives.
The military hospital in Kabul,
the Soviet-occupied capital, has
regularly treated victims of toy
bombs. Dr. Abdul Satar,

On Orientation
Longwood's Freshman Orientation is a great concept. The acne-
prone kiddies get to come to college four days early to get ac-
climated into the new environment that is the Longwood Country
Club.
They get to know one another and the school, tour the library,
sign the honor pledge, fix up their rooms and introduce ARA to their
untested innards. These challenging tasks are scheduled all day
long. But when the sun goes down, it's Miller Time !
These kids thought that they had partied after graduation and
during the summer, but they've never seen the quantity and con-
sistency of the Freshman Orientation alcohol binge. Many up-
perclassmen are back early to lend an I.D.; an R.A. or orientation
leader may also be willing to buy a case or two. Of course the
transfer students are the ones to take the leadership role in collec-
ting for a bulk purchase. Does anyone know why transfer students
are invited to orientation? Transfers never attend any of the
meetings. When I transferred, my Orientation leaders told me that I
didn't have to attend any meeting except the signing of the honor
pledge. I didn't even make that bash on account of being passed out.
The trouble with Orientation is that there is nothing to do at
night except drink (or is that the problem with Longwood?), This
year there was not one Orientation event scheduled for nightime. So
the newcomers are left with walking around, visiting Lankford (also
known as grandma's living room - "don't touch the furniture"),
Student Union, or shot-gunning a six-pack.
I spoke with a few Orientation leaders this week, all of whom
basically agreed with my theory here. All of these upperclassmen
felt that overall, orientation was a success. Orientation Chairperson
Barney Smith should be congratulated. Attendance was good and
things ran smoothly.
Complaints included: some of the programs were boring and
unnecessary, the first day was too eventful and rushed and ap-
parently didn't anticipate mom and dad sticking around after
delivery of the shy pre-pubescents. Everyone added: "There was
nothing to do at night." Was there drinking? "Huge amounts." See?
1 told ya. And whatever happened to the S-UN passes for all the good
freshmen who went to all the programs?
A student's first days at Longwood are very important to student
development. That is why thousands of dollars are spent to bring the
whole crew in early for some sort of orientation. Something isn't
right though. I think the pace that is being set during orientation is
for many, one of vacation wonderland. For some students, this party
attitude continues throughout the semester, and may even lead to
flunkouts, drop outs or pull outs who end up as sanitation workers or
small-time newspaper editors.
My kid brother's suitemate in Curry went home for good after a
couple days of "dis-"orientation. The poor guy probably went home
because he was a bed- wetting wuss, not ready for the out-of-doors,
but maybe he went because he did not think he could handle the non-
stop party if a real semester was anything like orientation.
I know at least one administrator is reading this and trying to
invent a rule to fix it (ban alcohol, ban Par-Bils, or put a fat lady on
each hall to smell breath and smack the fannies of all drinkers).
Rules are not the answer. Afterall, college must teach us to be
proper drinkers as well as how to be good swimmers (Have I yelled
about that mandatory swim test yet?) .
Orientation needs to be reevaluated. Make it shorter or don't
make it mandatory, so people who don't care, don't come. Or kill
orientation all together and let the little water heads bump into
things for a week.

Letters To The Editor
A Non-Response To A Letter...
Dear Editor:
I was concerned by the
misinformation and tone
expressed in John Colangelo's
letter to the editor (Rotunda, 15-
coUege as a whole, and since you
yourself have raged in these
pages recently about apathetic
students, I would think you would
be supportive of efforts to
2^85) and feel a responsibility to counteract this apathy.
clarify the issues discussed. I am So the purpose of the survey
not quite sure how to interpret
your pithy response, "Get off
Johnny C.!", but if by that you
mean to express support for Mr.
Colangelo's tirade, I think you
deserve an explanation as well.
I sympathize somewhat with
Mr. Colangelo's anger. The
project in which he was asked to
participate has been handled in
part by our Resident Assistants,
most of whom have done
excellent jobs. However, knowing
Mr. Colangelo's RA, I can
understand how John would have
difficulty understanding what
was going on. In any case, the
"asinine student survey" Mr.
Colangelo threw in the trash is a
small part of what we are calling
the Longwood Involvement
Project, begun this semester with
all third-semester students
(sophomores, more or less). We
have several goals for the
project, but the primary one is to
get students thinking about how
they are spending their time in
college and how they might be
able to get the most they can out
of their investment of at least
four years and a great deal of
someone's money in a college
education. It's not enough just to
collect your credits and degree
( if you want testimonials to that
effect, I can refer you to several
recent graduates); there's a lot
more to getting a quality
education than that, and students
are misleading themselves if
they think otherwise.
Furthermore, we believe that
involvement in college can be
quite productive both for the
individuals concerned and the
and the discussions we are
having in the next few weeks with
groups of sophomores is to
convey those messages and talk
briefly with them about how they
can get the most out of their time
in college. Colleges are, and
should be held, accountable for a
number of things, including
providing a range of quality
opportunities for learning, both in
and out of the classroom.
Colleges are not accountable for
holding students' hands and
making sure that they take
advantage of those opportunities
— and few, if any, colleges, make
any effort of that kind. At
Longwood, we do believe it is our
responsibility as educators to
make students aware of these
issues and these opportunities,
and the Involvement Project is
our attempt to do so.
I am genuinely sorry that Mr.
Colangelo seems so negative
about that whole process, and can
only hope that my letter will help
clarify his concerns and mollify
his anger. If not, I can only say
that he is perfectly entitled to
take his "seventeen hundred
dollar tuition . . . somewhere
else" where they really don't
care what he gets for his
investment of time and money.
By the way, while it seems to be
popular among Longwood
students to "blame" Barb Gorski
for just about everything they
dislike these days, she is not
solely responsible for the
Involvement Project. She is a
part of a team of people who have
been working on the project for
almost three years now; if Mr.
Colangelo wants to complain
directly to someone, let him
complain to me, not Ms. Gorski.
Sincerely,
Bill Moore
Student Development Educator
Editor's reply: I don't see how
any "misinformation" was
cleared up. Mr. Moore has done a
wonderful job in summarizing
the Involvement Project
(something I wish a reporter
could have done), but John
Colangelo's letter (reprinted at
right) is completely ignored. The
Involvement Project is a great
idea; by helping interested
students direct their energy into
clubs and organizations, the
Involvement Project could be a
large step towards easing
Longwood's non-involvement.
When The Rotunda was asked to
take a small part in the In-
volvement Project, we responded
immediately, ready to help in
anyway. Perhaps Mr. Colangelo
feels that the Involvement
Project is a great idea, we really
cannot tell since he does not
discuss the project at all. Mr.
Colangelo is upset with the fact
that he has to fill out "some as-
Drinking Age
By KAREN WALLACE
How many of you were born on
July 3, 1966 or a few months
after? As you already know, this
is the date that determines if you
are of legal drinking age. Do you
under age students feel that you
were handed a bad deal? Many of
the so called "Minors" think so.
One Longwood Freshman said "it
is not as important that I cannot
drink, but would at least like to
join my friends at D.T.'s on
Thursday and Friday nights."
This unfortunate group of people
will not even be able to enter into
a bar until their junior or senior
year of college, and then just one
or two years later, are expected
to enter into their chosen
profession and-or take on the
responsibilities of a family.
The Rotunda Tuesday,
inine survey" before he is
allowed to join the elite ranks of
those allowed to pre-register.
Forced participation is an item
not-so-slickly avoided by Mr.
Moore in his non-response. I
guess we can take this non-
response as meaning: "Yes, we
force participation, but only
because this project is so magical
and potentially beneficial to
Longwood."
Gee Whiz, what is the point of
blackmailing people to par-
ticipate in an involvement
project? I don't want un-
motivated people forced onto the
Rotunda staff Hell, why don't we
go all out and tell students they
can't eat dinner unless they join
an organization? Maybe we can
even choose the organization
they join. Maybe we can create a
new organization and ban all
others!
If it sounds communist, that's
because it is. But that is not why
Colangelo mentions Barb Gorski;
Gorski is brought into it because
her name appears alone at the
bottom of every Involvement
Project information sheet ever
typed.

Novennber 5, 1985
Dear Mr. Editor,
When I enrolled at this college
a year and a half ago, I was told
that all that was required for a
student to pre-register for
courses was the payment of the
tuition deposit and any
delinquent fines that may occur.
Yet this year I was handed some
survey, of which I know nothing
about, and told that if I did not fill
it in and return it that I would not
be permitted to register for
classes. When I was informed of
this fact, I promptly threw my
survey in the trash! Now I may
be wrong, Lord knows I have
been before, but where in the hell
does the student handbook or the
college catalogue state that I
have to complete some asinine
student survey so that I may be
eligible to register for classes. If
this college wants to throw me
out because I have refused to fill
in a questionnaire, then to hell
with them, I'll go somewhere else
and take my seventeen hundred
dollar tuition with me. I'd be
interested in knowing Ms.
Gorski's and the board of
trustees' opinion on this.
Respectfully submitted,

The law may have changed, but
does Longwood have the right to
exclude those who are under age
from participating in campus
functions. There are several
events here on campus, such as
the Pre-Mixer mixer, which took
place Friday, Oktoberfest
Weekend, where no one under 19
was permitted. If there is an
eventon campus for Longwood
students, all Longwood students
should be allowed to attend. We
are all college students, taking on
college level responsibilities.
Why should half of us attend
parties, kegs or no kegs, while
other fellow classmates are
excluded on the basis of what
year they were bom? Is this
really fair? Several upper
classmen as well as freshmen
feel that it is not.
Thank You,**

To The Editor:
A word on "My Page" in the
Tuesday, October 29, 1985 issue of
the Rotunda: Bravo!
Even though I am just a
freshman at I^ongwood, I have a
lot of school loyalty and pride. I
hate to think that a passer-by will
see liOngwood as a trashbox
because the entire front lawn is
covered with beer bottles, cans,
and paper airplanes. I was so
disgusted at seeing all that trash
that I picked up a Safeway paper
bag and went out and cleaned it
myself.
Not only do things get thrown
out on the front lawn, but, as you
pointed out, they get hurled out of
the front windows, too. I have had
dial soap thrown at me, a water
ballon smashed at my feet, and a
bee-bee shot at my Curry 7th
floor window while I was in front
of it. Needless to say, if the
window had been open it would
have hit me.
I don't see what is so difficult
about tossing something in the
trash. It seems to me to be easier
than walking over to your
window, opening it, throwing out
the item at hand, closing the
window, and then going on with
what you had been doing before.
I'm really getting tired of
looking up to see what might be
coming down when I walk out of
Curry. If people are going to be so
inrunature as to throw things out
of the windows they might as well
go home.
Thanks,
Robin Martin

JDarconville 's Cat Reviewed
By VIRGINIA ARMIGER GRANT
Are you ready for a good ride?
Warning: the horse is huge, hard
mouthed, and rushes his jumps.
He pins back his ears and rolls his
eyes horribly if you try to tighten
the girth. He is independent
minded, reaches with a long lead,
and has a pounding gallop. But he
gives a magnificent ride to the
experienced rider; the timid need
not try.
When I finished reading
Darconville's Cat by Alexander
Theroux, I felt as if I had ridden
that horse.
As we were privileged to hear
Dr. Theroux give a reading from
his works on November 4, it
might be interesting to learn
something of who and what he is.
He taught here in the Longwood
English Department in the early
seventies and his small-southem-
girls'-school experience gave him
ample material for a novel, about
600 pages worth!
The plot of the novel is simple:
a young professor falls in love
with a blonde student; she
betrays him; he goes mad and
dies, lonely and ill, in a Venetian
villa.
A one sentence plot summary is
the only simple thing there will
ever be about the book. Dr.
Theroux's style has been called
bombastic, fantastic, and icono-
clastic. It is all three. He has
been compared, to his personal
delight I am sure, to James
Joyce, one of his favorite writers.
While literary history very well
may regard him as the American
James Joyce, I believe there is
also the possibility that, in the
long run of literary criticism,
Joyce may be regarded as a pre-
Theroux figure. (Once a reader
has made the introduction to
Theroux's writing, neutrality is
impossible — the reader finds
pleasure of pain, but not apathy).
His first novel, Three Wogs,
was published while he was
teaching at Longwood and the
writing of it is one important
theme running through
Darconville's Cat. Dareonville is
not only a novel in its own right,
but, for us here in Prince Edward
County-Farmville-Longwood, it

is a very personal commentary.
Theroux is kind to no one nor
anything. However, when he
satirizes recognizeable
personalities on our campus, he
is honestly not doing so for the
sake of revenge or personal
affront. (He was well liked here).
He is assimilating his experience,
certainly; but, primarily, he is
writing. Dr. Theroux lives for the
purpose of writing. It is his call,
his profession, and his passion.
And he has the gift of recognizing
the gift in himself. He is a large
man, both physically and
artistically, a man truly blessed
with an absolute belief in himself.
Even if the current college
reader is not interested in a
psychoanalysis of what makes
Theroux tick, the novel itself
gives two interesting rewards.
First, there is a satisfaction
which comes from just having got
through the massive thing.
(Theroux's style is not easy
reading). Second is the delight of
walking in the middle of a novel.
Quinsy burg is real. Quinsy burg
College, complete with Rotunda
and chiming clock, is real. Many
of the personalities are still here.
Dr. Theroux (Dareonville) really
did wear a black cape, write with
a black pen, live in a bare
apartment, drive a Bentley, and
fall in love with "Isabel." Even if
the students of the 80's do not
connect into the remembered
facts, they can picture the
situation quite clearly in a
physical setting which is
unchanged.
Copies of Darconville's Cat are
available (at a thoroughly decent
price) in the Longwood
Bookstore. The library may (one
hopes) contain other of his works.
The Bookstore will be happy to
order copies of any of Theroux's
works.

Ambassador's Telethon
By KIM SETZER
Last week, October 28-31, the
ambassadors called parents of
new strudents and transfers for
pledges. This was needed
because only 42 percent of
the College's total operating
budget comes in the form of state
tax dollars. The rest must come
from fees, auxiliary enterprises,
and most importantly private
gifts from our alumni and
parents. Private gift support to
the Parents' annual fund
provides special departmental
programs and activities, student
financial aid, and career
planning and placement
programs.
The goal this year was
estimated at $7500 from 300
donors. The goal was exceeded.
$16,318 was received from 557
donors. The top three engrossing
ambassadors were Denna Moors
- $1181, Laurie Ziegler - $1180,
Mable Hamlette - $1125. Ten
ambassadors called each night.
Amy Ethridge was the Telefund
Chairperson.

a steering committee to develop
and implement an alumni
sponsored student externship
program entitled Project ASSET.
The Alumni Council, in
cooperation with the Office of
Alumni Relations and the Office
of Career Planning and
Placement, has developed this
externship program to allow
students the opportunity to obtain
a first-hand view of a specific
career parallel to his or her
chosen field of study. The
externship pairs a student with
an alumnus of Longwood whose
profession is of particular
interest to the student. Through
this unique arrangement
students are provided with a brief
but realistic scenario of "real
world" situations while at the
same time gaining valuable and
sellable work-related experience.
Alumni with careers in the arts
and sciences, business, and
education have responded
eagerly to our alumni sponsor
campaign: now it is time for the
students — you — to begin the
registration process to enroll in
Project ASSET. Additional
information and-or application
forms may be obtained from
either the Office of Alumni
Relations or the Office of Career
Planning and Placement.
This program has been
developed to be of benefit to you
by providing you with a head
start in today's fiercely
competitive marketplace. I"
strongly encourage you to take
advantage of the externship
program and its numerous
tangible benefits and to turn your
externship into an asset.

From Russia With Hate
formerly a senior surgeon there,
explained that the Soviets plant
the devices around their
garrisons to discourage children
from trading with Russian
soldiers. Many of the soldiers
eagerly sell weapons for hashish.
The toy bombs are part of a
Soviet strategy that deliberately
targets civilians. Since invading
Afghanistan in December 1979,
the Soviet army has failed to
subjugate the Afghan people.
Therefore, the Soviets have
resolved to depopulate the
Afghan countryside by
exterminating or driving out
civilians.
Typically, in the early morning
villagers hear the scream of jets,
then shattering blasts of bombs
bursting in their midst.
Simultaneously, the jets may
scourge surrounding fields and
all those tilling them — with
napalm or "sheets of fire," as the
Afghans call it. Then MI-24
helicopter gunships, hovering at
close range, devastate the village
with rockets and machine guns.
After these air strikes, the
Soviets rain down surface-to-
surface rockets or artillery shells
on the remnants. Finally, Soviet
troops enter the village and shoot
any man, woman, child, or
animal that moves.
Because Soviet tactics have
l)ecome so familiar, villagers flee
to caves or mountainsides at the
onset of a bombardment. When
the assault stops, the villagers
round up what animals they can
find and trek off toward the
unknown.
Those caravans of misery can
be seen increasingly in the
mountain passes. French nurse
Chantel Bruno-Lannot joined one
1st year. "Many of the children
had their feet wrapped with
shreds of fabric," she recalls. "It
was a terrible sight, this endless
line of humans and animals
dragging themselves through the
snow in the bitter-cold night."
To date the Soviets have driven
more than four million
Afgans from their homeland,
roughly a fourth of the
population. About three million
have reached border camps in
Pakistan. Most of the rest have
fled to an uncertain future in
Iran.
Basul was 12 when the Soviets
killed his parents. The first
bombs fell while the family was
drinking breakfast tea, and the
explosion killed his mother
instantly. After the
bombardment, Soviet troops
entered the village, and Basul
watched as they led his father
and two other men to a clump of
trees. There, they stabbed all
three, then shot them to death. In
all, the Soviet soldiers killed
approximately 40 men, women
and children before leaving the
village in mid-afternoon.
Carrying his three-year-old
brother on his shoulder, Basul led
his sisters, ages four, five and
six, and his seven year old
brother toward Pakistan. It took
them almost two weeks to hike
the 40 miles, begging for food
along the way. Basul, now 13,
hopes to return to Afghanistan to
fight with the mojahedin.
Last spring a Soviet force of '
airborne troops, armor, artillery
and aircraft attacked villages in
the Qarghai district of Laghman
Providence. Amir Khan, a
mullah (priest), and Ghulam
Sakhi, a 70-year-old farmer,
helped to bury the dead. Some
women and children had been
bayoneted to death. Others had
been burned alive with gasoline.
I interviewed Amir and
Ghulam only two weeks after the
massacre. Ghulam wept
uncontrollably as he recounted
how villagers discovered the
dead body of his infant niece.
The Soviets are exterminating
Afghan children by still other
means: eradicating medical care
in regions dominated by the
mojahedin. "Almost all doctors
and health personnel have been
either killed, imprisoned or
driven away," states Dr.
Abdullah Osman, president of the
Union of Afghan Mojahed
Doctors. "The health facilities in
these territories have been
burned or bombed to the ground,
or emptied of supplies and
closed." Nowadays, foreign
doctors hide their clinics in caves
or beneath mountain overhangs,
but the Soviets continue to seek
out and obliterate them.
The absence of medical care
has caused a resurgence of
diseases that had been
controlled. Today, roughly 30
percent of all Afghan children die
in infancy, victims of measles,
diphtheria, pneumonia, malaria
or gastrointestinal disorders.
Tuberculosis afflicts at least 13
percent of the entire population.
Yet the Afghans' will and
courage are unbroken. Nurtured
and supported by people who
forage for food and till the fields
under cover of darkness, the
mojahedin fight on. Armed with
obsolete weapons and short of
basic supplies, they still control
more than 80 percent of the
territory. Even in the cities, the
Soviets dare not venture out ex-
cept in large, well-armed groups.

Cadets Conducts
Field Leadership Exercise
By Cadet Capt. Chris Wright
The ROTC Cadet Batallion
conducted their 1985 fall FLX this
past weekend at Foret A. P. Hill.
The FIJC is a field leadership
exercise conducted twice a year,
in the fall and the spring.
The senior cadets, MSIV's,
conducted all of the training,
while the Junior cadets, MSIII's,
received the training. The
MSIII's were given the
opportunity to familiarize
themselves with the M-16 Al rifle
on Saturday. They fired
numerou.s rounds on the
familiarization range which gave
them some valuable experience
using the weapon. The cadets
were also taken through various
tactical situations, and were
given classes on various aspects
of military skills and training. On
Sunday, the cadets were put
through a land navigation course
(in which) they moved through
the woods with a compass and
found various points throughout
the course. All of the cadets were
then bused back to Longwood on
Sunday afternoon. Cadet Major
Tony Costanzo, who performed
the duty of Batallion Com-
mander, stated that despite
the bad weather, he felt that the
training was excellent, and that
he was glad that the MSIII's were
able to learn something. Cadet
Captain Steve Kidwell also
added, "It was definitely a fun
weekend. I feel both the MSIII's
and MSIV's got a good look at
how dedicated one must be to be a
good leader."

Wouldn't it be neat to be able to
work one week with aa-alumnus
who is in the same field that you
are interested in? Project
ASSET enables students to do
this. Project ASSET is the
Alumni Sponsored Student
Externship Tandem, it is a
framework for a special
partnership — a partnership that
will give Longwood students a
real headstart toward achieving
career goals.
Project Asset will give second,
third, and fourth year students an
opportunity to test the water in
their chosen careers, to see how
the reality compares with their
expectations. The externship can
also remove many of the
student's fears about entering
the real world of work, can give
them practical Vind functional
knowledge in their fields, and can
provide a sense of confidence to
bolster them in the search for
employment.
Perhaps the most valuable part
of the ASSET experience for the
student extern will be the
personal contact with a
Longwood alumnus. The

expertise and guidance of a
successful person with a "special

helping students make decisions
they can live with.
Project Asset will be directed
by a Steering Committee
composed of representatives
from the Alumni Council, the
Director of Alumni Relations, the
Director of Career Planning and
Placement, a representative
from the Organization of
Teaching Faculty, a
representative from the
Academic Affairs Office, and a
representative from the Student
Government Association.
From this program, students
will find out if they enjoy the
field, if their academic
background will enable them to
perform it, and if they have the
skills and needs to perform this
job. The three main areas are
Richmond, the Tidewater Area,
and Northern Virginia. The time
pushed for to carry out this
program is January 5-9, 1986.
There is no paperwork and there
is a lot of on the job experience to
be gained. This program is
directed to sophomores, juniors
and seniors, but freshmen who
are positive about their fields
may be accepted in Project
ASSET. Niki Fallis, Director of
Career Planning and Placement
States of Project ASSET, "I
support and encourage this
because for one week the
students can accept
responsibility and can see how
the world of work operates in a
particular field. This
participation could possibly
result in helping the students
make decisions about his or her
choice early on."

From Russia
With Hate
Last summer the daring
mojahedin blunted a major
Soviet offensive in the strategic
Panjshir Valley. Other forces,
under the command of Gen.
Rahim Wardak, initaited one of
the boldest offensives of the war
by surrounding and besieging the
communist-held city of Khost.
Mojahedin saboteurs destroyed
some 20 jets on the ground, and
urban guerrillas in Kabul blew up
Soviet offices and
occupants.
Given their valor, there is
still hope for the Afghans and
their children. But that hope
depends primarily on the rest of
the world. The Afghans need
almost everything — food,
medicine, clothes, boots, mine
detectors, ammunition, modem
rifles, long-range rockets and
surface-to-air missiles.
Equally important, they need
the unequivocal moral and
political support of the outside
world.

Blind Date Quiz...
Being the popular guy on campus that you are, five girls
who you've never met have asked your roommate to set one of
them up with you for a date. With your best interests at heart,
your roommate sets you up with one — Tammy, Beth, Shelly,
Lori, or Michele. He won't tell you which one, and it would be
embarrassing to meet her and not know her name. Being kind
and considerate though, he gives you these hints:
1 — Two girls major in chemistry, two in English.
2 — Two girls have blonde hair, one has red hair.
3 — Three girls are in sororities.
4 — The only business major is not in a sorority.
5 — Both brunettes are in sororities.
6 — The English major not in a sorority has red hair.
7 — Neither Tammy nor Shelly is a chemistry major.
8 — The two AST girls do not have the same major or hair
color.
9 — Michele is an English major.
10 — Tammy is in a sorority.
11 — Lori is not a brunette.
12 — Your date is the only ASA.
Who is your date, what color hair does she have, and what is
her major?

"Stukes and Howard both
wrestled well and Whitman did a
pretty good job," said coach
Steve Nelson. "We're not in real

ERICK KARN
Junior Erick Karn played a key
role in Ix)ngwood's 3-1 soccer win
over Hampden-Sydney last
Wednesday and for his efforts,
the 5-8, 160-pound sweeper has
been named I.ongwood College
Player of the Week for the period
October 27 through November 3.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the lx)ngwood Sports Information
Office.
"Erick did another outstanding
job in our win over Hampden-
Sydney," said Coach Posipanko.
"He has been there for us in the
clutch time after time all
season."
Posipanko doesn't keep
defensive saves for anyone other
than the goalkeeper, but if he did,
the unquestioned leader for the
Lancers would be Karn.
A vocal leader who exhorts his
teammates, Karn is the last line
of defense before the opposition
gets off a shot at the lancer
goalkeeper. More often than not
he'll make a flying tackle to
knock the ball away or simply
kick it out of danger.
His play has been a key factor
in Longwood allowing just 17
goals in 17 games and earning
19th place in the Division II
national rankings with an 114-2
record.
This season he has played in 16
of l^ngwood's 17 games, but has
taken just one shot. Karn seldom
gets involved in the offense, but
he spends a lot of time blunting
the opposition's attack.

Involvement Pro j ect ;
Faculty VS. Administration
Sophomores Caught In Middle
Facuhy View
By BRUCE SOUZA
On Monday Nov. 4 the
Ix)ngwood College faculty and
administration clashed in what
some faculty members termed
"a fiasco" and a "crisis
situation." The situation arose as
sophomore students began the
pre-registration advising and
counseling process on the above
Monday. Since sophomore
students were the only ones
affected in this scenario a quick
sketch of the events leading up to
Monday Nov. 4 may be needed.
On Tuesday, Oct. 29, The
Rotunda published a letter by
John Colangelo; Colangelo, a
sophomore, asserted his right not
to fill out an informational survey
associated with the Involvement
Project sponsored by Student
Development. The survey asked
students 140 questions, and
specified that compliance was
compulsory to receive the
paperwork necessary for pre-
registration advising. As Nov. 4
rolled around, the full implication
of Mr. Colangelo's complaint
was realized by a seemingly
unaware faculty. Many other
students feeling as Mr. Colangelo
did had also not filled out and
turned in the surveys for similar
and-or different reasons. By
early Monday afternoon, many
faculty advisors began to realize
that Colangelo was not simply
blowing off steam, but had in
essence sent out an early warning
that faculty and administration
were dilatory in interpreting.
As more and more sophomore
students began to turn up for
advising without their ore-
advising sheets and harboring
complaints, the faculty began to
act. For the faculty, one of the
main concerns was simply the
logistical problems which were
becoming evident. Faculty
members of the Business
Department who are burdened
with a high number of advisees
saw havoc wreaked upon their
scheduling process. The hold-ups
and detailed obstinance of
student Development
administrators continued the
delay in students receiving their
forms. At this point, faculty
members began pooling their
complaints through their
channels of communications and
decided on collective action.
Faculty members The Rotunda
talked to stressed their
indignation over the perceived
interference in a process which
had been traditionally a faculty
function. Student Affairs in the
words of one faculty member
"had no right to tie up the
academic process." Another
faculty member echoed faculty
opinion by stating that it was
"inappropriate to have a
condition on registration. . , it
belongs to faculty and not Student
Affairs."
On Wednesday, Nov. 6, a
meeting between faculty
spokesmen and the president
took place to resolve the problem.
It was decided at this juncture
that filling out the survey would
not be mandatory and would not
be tied to pre-registration. To the
credit of all people involved, and
by all accoimts, the problem was
resolved peacefully. Most faculty

Administration's View
By FRANK RAIO
It is important for the
Longwood community to
understand the other side of the
Involvement Project story; the
administrators taking part in the
program feel that: 1) The survey
was a success, 2) The
Involvement Project is a
valuable part of a Longwood
education, 3) Proper procedure
was observed when completion of
the survey by sophomores was
linked to pre-registration.
Student Development
Educators Kathe Taylor and Bill
Moore, who along with Barb
Gorski and Meredith Strom make
up the Involvement Project
Group, told the Rotunda that
although disappointed and
surprised by the sudden
opposition, the Sophomore
survey phase of the Involvement
Project appears to be an overall
success.
The Involvement Project has
been in the works for several
years; directly related to the
"Fourteen Goals," the project is
an innovation in higher
education's never-ending effort
to allow students to "get more out
of their tuition dollar." In fact.
Bill Moore had been away all last
week at a conference where he
made an Involvement Project
presentation to "impressed"
collegues who are similarly
charged with the responsibility of
getting students to "try to think
about how their time is spent and
get the most out of their
investment."
The Sophomore survey is only a
small part of the Student
Development Educators' effort to
"make the fourteen goals more
meaningful than just words,"
Taylor said.
The survey is a series of
questions which, in Taylor's
words, "make a snapshot picture
of the student's past year."
Students filled out the
questionnaire and turned them in
to the Student Development
office. The surveys were
returned to the students in small
group discussions scheduled
throughout the past week. Within
these groups, administrators
guide the third semester students
through a review of the
responses. This one-hour meeting
provides "assessment and
feedback" according to Moore,
allowing students to take a look
back at their freshmen year and
perhaps encouraging them to get
more out of their remaining
years at Longwood. Taylor
explains that sophomores were
chosen as the target group
because freshmen had
demonstrated in a "pilot survey"
last spring, that first-year
students were "too academic-
oriented" to think about getting
more out of college; making
grades and getting acclaimated
to college life was enough of a
burden.
The mere title, "Involvement
Project," demonstrates the
desirability of having
participation mandatory; if
students voluntarily took part in
such programs, the Involvement
Project itself would be
unnecessary.

The Heat Source Of
Longwood College
By JOHNNY C. PASTING
The liOngwood Boiler Room is
located beneath the large 140 foot
smoke-stack. In 1971, two of the
four coal-fired boilers were
converted to bum fuel oil. The
other two boilers were put on
standby for emergency use only.
Some time later the idea of using
wood chips was introduced. The
use of wood chips involved some
modifications to the two coal-
fired boilers. This change from
oil to wood chips has reduced fuel
cost dramatically, consequently
contributing to the overall
Commonwealth's economy.
The location of Longwood
College is in the heartland of
Virginia where there is an
abundance of forest products.
Therefore, it was, and is, logical
to make use of the wood chips and
sawdust for our source of fuel.
Currently, wood chips and
sawdust are furnished at a cost of
$15.50-ton from a main supplier to
about $21. 00-ton from incidental
suppliers. The wood chips and
sawdust is obtained from several
(up to 6) suppliers because no
single supplier has the source
and-or transportation facilities to
meet our requirements during
the winter season. The fuel
utilization varies from about 300
tons in May to over 1,500 tons in
December.
The amount of savings during

Letters To The Editor
Involvement Project
More
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter as a
response to the non-response
letter of Bill Moore and in support
of John C. Colangelo who seems
to be just as serious as I am about
our communist-minded
administrators. I, too, received
one of those asinine involvement
surveys from my R.A. After
questioning my R.A. its purpose,
I was just as clueless as before.
Her only advice to me was to
complete it. Briefly examining
the survey of 140 questions, I felt
it to be a waste of my time, and
therefore decided to work on
some homework instead.
Apparently in the eyes of the i
student development educators,
my priorities are out of place
because I chose academics over
outside activities. Anyway, I
trashed the survey, not giving it a
second thought until I found
another one shoved under my
door with a note attached: "Pre-
registration for spring classes
will be cancelled if this survey is
not completed." Well, I
immediately took action. On the
bottom of the survey were the
names of the dictators Gorski,
Moore, Strohm, and Taylor. I
phoned Gorski and Taylor, both
of whom were too busy to give
any of their precious time to
adhere to the concerns of a
measley student like myself.
However, Bill Moore was
available for discussion.
I spoke with Mr. Moore over
the telephone for approximately
35 minutes. I informed him that I
was in favor of the survey for
those who would benefit from it.
However, I considered myself to
be quite involved with the
opportunities offered to
Ix)ngwood College students, and
therefore making this program
irrevelant in my eyes. I am an
active member of the Judicial
Board, secretary of Phi Beta
Lambda, and a work-study
student, working 15 hours
weekly. I have an adopted
grandmother at a nearby nursing
home. I also maintain a 3. g.p.a.,
currently tackling an 18-credit
hour load. If that isn't involved,
you tell me what is! Bill Moore
responded that in place of
participating in the survey that I
could be given a special project to
help other students become
aware of the activities as I have.
Can you believe this? "Oh sure, I
just have so much spare time that
I would love to do a special
project to help fellow students."

BULLSHIT!! Mr. Moore also
took my phone number and said
he would get in touch with me
concerning this matter within
three working days. It has now
been three weeks later. I have not
heard a word from him. He stated
in his letter to complain to him
and not to Ms. Gorski. He must
Longwood College continuously
astounds me with
their new and exciting methods to
screw over the students. I would
like to submit another way of how
to be screwed by the
administration. When I received
my Involvement Survey I was
told the same thing as was Mr.
Colangelo: Fill it out or you
cannot register for classes. I felt
have been joking. Don't even try that this requirement of personal
to discuss the situation witli him,
it will do you no good.
Maybe the student
development educators feel that
it is their responsibility to make
students get involved in college
activities. However, as a college
student and an adult, I feel that it
is a person's own free will to do
so, and preventing registration as
a threat is totally ridiculous. If
students want to become
involved, they will. Forcing them
is not the way.
I am sure this letter will have
no effect on the manner in which
those dictators overlook the
concern of the students. The
general opinion I hear from
information was none of their
business; however, I went ahead
and filled out the survey. Let it
I attended the meeting and
found it to be pretty much as I
expected. The scores on the
survey told our group that we
were not highly involved in
Longwood activities. Near the
end of the session we were
handed more survey sheets so we
could sign up to get information
on some of Longwood's activities.
To appease the instructors, I
marked a couple of things but it
did no good. I still don't have
enough time to be involved with
an activity and to do Professor

much attention to what I was
marking and therefore filled out
the entire survey in less than five
minutes.
When signing up for an
appointment with my adviser I
was informed that I would have
to locate a Mr. Moore before
advising to get some special
registration form.
So, I went to Mr. Moore's office
and asked for my form. It was
only then that I learned of some
special meeting that I had not
attended which I would have to i
Although the survey and
meeting were of no use to me, I
feel that the survey does have
potential. I feel that the survey
would be better used for the
freshman class in the middle of
their first semester. I also feel
that the survey should not be a
case of do it or get screwed but
rather a "HI, I'M your friendly
R.A. This is a survey to increase
student unvolvement and I'd like
you to fill it out and return it."
Sure, some of the students will
throw it away but they would
fellow students including myself attend, in order to get my form, rather party than participate in
towards these people is to stay
the hell out of our lives! We don't
want their concern or their stupid
survey! As of now, I have no
intentions of completing the
survey. If I should decide to
change my mind (I doubt that
seriously) and complete the
survey and attend a seminar, I
will be doing so against my own
free will!?! Do the students of
Longwood College have any
student rights?
Judi Goodridge
The reason I did not attend the
meeting is simple; between the
time of the survey and the time of
the meeting I moved. My old R.A.
did not contact me and my new
R.A., whom I've never met, was
not aware of the situation.
Therefore, I had to cancel most of
my nightime plans to attend the
meeting. Had I not gone
immediately to Mr. Moore's
office to find out that I had to
attend the meeting I would have
been really screwed when it
came time to be advised.
an activity anyway. The people
who are interested and don't
believe that the survey is
generally worthless will return it.
As a freshman, I wanted to get
involved but didn't know how or
where. I would still like to get
involved but a heavy course load
kept me from attempting
anything. Maybe if I find an easy
semester or two I'll help out but
until then I'll be doing physics!

Shower Blues
To the Editor,
Have you ever woke up in the
morning and found yourself
thinking about standing
underneath a hot shower to wake
you up, but then realize that you
won't be able to because the
shower head only reaches your
chest? If you live in either Curry
or Frazer dormitory your answer
to this question is probably yes. It
upsets me to think that the
architect who designed the high
rises had no sense of proportion.
Whoever put the plumbing in
these buildings must have been
five feet tall. That's fine for the
short people, but it presents a
problem for all of us who are
closer to six feet tall. It's not too
comfortable to squat while taking
a shower.
I expect a hot shower to do two
things for me: wake me up in the
morning; and get the creaks out
of my back from sleeping in a bed
too short for me. Of course,
getting clean is a top priority too.
Instead of easing the pain, I end
up increasing it because of the

Proctologist is sure to wake me
up, but it won't do any wonders
for the creaks in my back.
After one exceptionally
uncomfortable night's sleep,
which gave me some colossal
kinks in my back, I finally asked
someone what the reason was for
such short showers. The answer I
got back was that if the shower
heads were any higher you would
be able to hang yourself on them.
My reply to this was that if I
wanted to commit suicide, a fall
from the eighth floor would
probably do a better job of it. I
don't see any bars on the
windows, so why worry about
how high the showerhead is. I'm
not saying there should be bars,
or that I want them, but I would
like to be able to stand under the
shower without having to crouch
or kneel to take a shower. .

the lawns, in the halls, on the
stairs, or almost anyshere on
campus.
I am almost ashamed to bring
my friends to Longwood on the
weekends. Everything is so
trashy. The lights might be out on
the elevator or the halls and the
elevator will definitely be trashy.
Why do the people here have to
live like total pigs? Don't we have
enough pride in our school to keep
the campus clean? Evidently
not!
Does it take that much effort to
walk a few feet to a trash can and
drop trash into it? It would save
all of us tuition money that
Longwood College spends to pay
i people to pick up after us.
The students here claim that
they are responsible enough to be
on their own but they are not even
responsible enough to clean up
after themselves. Are we adults
or what?

THE DIRT FACTS
To The Editor,
Please note that there are some students who care for the
landscaping of Longwood College. On Saturday the 10th from 1-3
p.m., the Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity and Sigma Phi
Epsilon Fraternity worked together to clean and relandscape
the back of Frazer and Curry. Thanks to the Physical Plant, 4
truck loads of mulch were provided to help the bushes before
winter sets in. Other projects that have been done include;
halloween trick-or-treating for MDA and putting down gravel by
Lancer-tennis courts. The fraternities are working together with
the college to help show that not all students are apathetic and to
motivate those who are.
A party to raise money for the cut tree and the December
Bloodmobile are still on their lists of projects. To any students
who are interested in helping and are tired of apathy or have any
ideas for other projects, please contact Kathy Schieb, Box 1154,
or Tim Grahman, Box 430.

Senseless Vandalism
Dorm Prowler
ByKIMDEANER
Frazer dorm, as well as
Longwood campus as a whole,
has had an excessive amoimt of
vandalism taking place this
school year. This senseless
vandalism has been brought to
the attention of the
administration and is not going
to be tolerated especially
concerning the problem of
students throwing items from the
windows.
In the Spring of 1985, $2,413 was
spent on Frazer for replacement,
repair, and cleaning. Much of this
total was for replacement of such
things as exit sign plate (5.00),
ceiling tile ($3.00), elevator
buttons and cover ($150.00),
window screen ($15.00), window
($40.00), and inside stairwell door
($275.00).
This year in Frazer there has
been such incidents as a toilet
removed and demolished (not to
be confused with the famous
Spruce and Redford toilet; this
toilet has an identity of its own), a
fire alarm disassembled
($251.50), a bed thrown from a
window ($145.00), a window shot
with a beebee gun, stair-case
railing broken, spray paint
damage, fire extinguisher
sprayed, exit sign stolen, phone
disassembled, and furniture
stolen from the lobby.
The problem of things being
thrown from the roof and
windows of Frazer is more
serious to the degree that
someone may be severely hurt.
To prevent items from being
thrown, the roof door was locked.
Someone gained access to the
roof by breaking the roof window
and then threw a pumpkin on a
car and caused $1,000 damage.
The pumpkin dented the roof and
broke the windshield.
If students continue to throw
things from the windows a
solution may be that all screens
will be pinned shut.
The administration is dealing
with the excessive trash in the
halls after parties; two
Fraternities have had
restrictions placed on their
chapter room parties because of
trash problems on Oktoberfest
weekend. The Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity can have only two
parties until Thanksgiving and
the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity can
have no parties because they also
broke a fire code by having too
many people in their chapter
room.
The problem of false fire
alarms is being delt with by
applying more strict sanctions.
The administration is now
recommending suspension of any
student caught pulling a false
alarm; first offense with no prior
disiplinary record. In Frazer

By SHERI WILKINSON
The description of this man is a
five foot seven, black male of
average build. He has entered
many rooms in the colonades this
semester while occupants were
asleep or in the shower. So far he
has been easy to scare away by
just screaming or yelling at him.
So if you see a strange black
male roaming the halls late at
night or if he enters your room to
scare you, call campus police.
Keep the campus police phone
number near your phone so you
can contact them quickly and
How would you feel if you were
lying in bed half asleep when
someone enters into your room
and cuts off a small light across
the room and walks toward you
in your bed. This happened
Saturday morning around 6:30 to
a girl who lives in French
dormitory. She scared him when
she yelled to him "get out of
here," so he ran out of the room.
The rumor around campus was
that this man had been caught.
The man has obviously not been
caught so everyone needs to be
aware of this so they can take the
prevent it from happening again, proper safety precautions.
ISL: WHAT IS IT?
N.Y.C. Weekend
The jazz, folk and rock class
went on a field trip this past
weekend to New York City. The
members of the class who chose
to go had a great time. Some
students that went with the class
before, went again for the second
or third time. Couples from
Farmville participated in the
field trip also, they usually go
every year.
The trip was reasonably priced
that included a bus ride there and
back and staying in South Gate
Hotel for two nights.
The students went to see the
famous New York City Broadway
plays. Some of the musicals they
went to see were: "The Odd
Couple," "Forty-second Street,"
"Singing in the Rain." "Oh,
Calcutta" and "La Cage Aux
FoUes." Viewing the plays in
New York was great compared to
seeing them on television or
listening to them on tapes.
The students liked being on
their own once they got there so
they could .see all the other
attractions of New York City.
Some of the things they did were:
— shopping at Bloomingdale's,
Macy's Ix)rd-n-Taylors, and Sax
Fifth Avenue
— viewing New York City from
the Empire State Building
— visiting the World Trade
Center
— eating in New York's famous
restaurants like Mamma Leonies
— visiting China Town
— going through Time Square
and Central Park
— traveling around New York
City by horse and buggy, by
subway, by taxi
— bargaining with the vendors
on the street
The night was as much fun as
the day with the night life of New
York. The students bars like the
Hard Rock Cafe, or to see the
Chippendales, or to Broadway
musicals.
The opportunity to go to New
York was a great experience for
the students. Some say they can't
wait to go next year.
By THERESA PFLUGER
"What in the heck is ISL?" If
you've never heard of this newly
formed organization, then I'm
sure this same question has come
to mind.
ISL is short for International
Studies at Longwood. It is a new
program this year that offers
Longwood students a chance to
broaden their knowledge about
other countries, to become more
aware of political events and
foreign affairs, and to be exposed
culturally in art and music.
Those students who are already
involved in the program were
offered a trip to U.Va. earlier in
October to hear a lecture on
Soviet politics. Also, an upcoming
trip -on November ninth to
Washington, D.C., is scheduled.
Other general events that have
taken place, relating to the ISL
Program, were the 18th Century
Viennese Fortepiano Concert and
Lecture given by Dr. Malcolm
Bilson and the lecture and
demonstration on the History of
French Music by Professor Jim
Kidd of Hampden-Sydney. On the
lighter side of events held was
that of the Chinese Golden
Acrobats and Magicians.
This Program is special in that
getting involved in itself is
rewarding, not so much of a
hassle as one might think.
Our committee. International
J^Iewscolumn will be reporting
such topics concerning current
events, editorials, special
television programs to watch out
for and radio broadcasting on
International News as well will
be presented.
So, in short, I'll just say I hope
that this clarifies what ISL is and
I hope that our upcoming articles
will be well received.
Nutritional Survey
By JUDITH BURKS
When a student does not eat
properly it can affect the way he
feels physically and mentally. A
student can study much better
wehn he has eaten well balanced
meals including the eight leading
nutrients. If a student finds
himself fighting to stay awake in
a semi-interesting, morning class
it could be because he is skipping
breakfast. Breakfast is always
the most enjoyable meal in
Blackwell Dining Hall because
there are never people waiting in
line. On the way to class students
are seen stuffing their mouths
Kier Review
by Connie Byerly
Last Friday night, the Lancer Cafe was the place to be when
the Student Union presented Kier, an outstanding young per-
former. His repertoire included selections from the Beatles,
David Bowie, Elton John, Billy Joel, and others. This excellent
Coffeehouse performance attracted many more students than
had originally been anticipated.
Interested in helping to put on performances like this one?
The Student Union meets every Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. in the
Conference room at Lankford. All are welcome!
with M&M's and potato chips. To
find out how students rank in
their eating habits the Student
Member Section of Virginia
Home Economics is conducting a
campus food habit survey. The
questionnaire survey will be
given randomly selected classes.
There will be questions
pertaining to how often a student
snacks and what snacks are most
often eaten. Also there will be
questions on the type of meals
students eat and how many meals
are eaten per day. The survey
serves as a way to find which
foods the student eats has which
of the eight leading nutrients and
the caloric content. Results will
be collected November 19. Your
cooperation will be greatly
appreciated.

employees were added to the
production of heat, due to the
necessary off-loading and
transportation needed for the
wood products. Ix)uis Leonard,
one of the employees at the boiler
room says the work is "Very

likes working there he replied
that he "Likes it a lot."
The only increase in money
was the consumption of energy.
That increased from $397,358.08
in 1981 to $451,049.76 in 1984. This
can be reduced by trying to
reduce lighting levels in
hallways, keeping doors and
windows shut, and the effective
use of blinds-shades in the
dormitories.

Next Week:
Longwood Scholars
Two freshmen, Tamara Brown
and Amy Salvato, are Longwood
Scholars, the designation for
those involved in a prestigious
scholarship program.
Miss Brown, of Wilsons, and
Miss Salvato, of Springfield, are
receiving scholarships of $1,000
annually. The scholarship is
automatically renewable as long
as each maintains a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.35.
The scholarships, which are
awarded on academic merit, are
intended for students "who will
bring distinction to Longwood
during their student years and
after graduation." Recipients are
formally recognized at
commencement and convocation.
Miss Brown, 18, has not
declared a major, but she is
considering a career in
journalism.
Miss Salvato, 17, is majoring in
English education and Spanish.
She wants to teach English, or
both. "I'd like to teach English in

The change from oil to wood backwoodsy story of an idiot boy,
chips and sawdust created only a ^ backslidden preacher, farmers,
pretty girls, and the townspeople
in a religiously superstitious
rural community. The story
centers around Buddy, who is a
retarded boy of seventeen, and a
would-be preacher, C. C.
Showers, who comes to town
looking for work after he decides
that preaching is not his life's
calling. The special relationship
that these two develop is every
bit as touching as the outcome of
this relationship is tragic. And
Mr. Leonard's script leads his
audience through some very
human scenes to an unforgettable
conclusion.
This production is under the
direction of Dr. Douglas Young,
and it features Scott Koenigsberg
as Buddy and Jett Driver as C.C.
Both of these students are
newcomers to the Longwood
stage. Scott is a freshman, but he
is not new to the theatre in
general; in high school he
performed in Annie Get Your
Gun and in Two Gentleman of
Verona. Jeff has done some
student-directed work here at
a Spanish-speaking country or as
a second language in this
country," she said.
Ivongwood, but this marks his
first major role as an actor.
Others of the cast who are new to
the Longwood stage as well
include Darcie Brackett, who has
worked behind the scenes in
several productions, but api>ears
onstage for the first time in this
show, as Luella; Paige Anderson
a freshman who recently worked
publicity for BLITHE SPIRIT, as
Darlene; and Anita Washington,
a freshman from Richmond who
has appeared in such shows as
THE CRUCIBLE and PIPPIN, as
Jennie Mae — Buddy's older
sister.
Rounding out the cast are
Longwood Player veterans Jeff
Fleming as Basil; Curt Walker
as Ferris, Buddy's father, Glenn
Gilmer as Melvin ; Mike Hart as
Dewey; Laura Goodfellow as
Norma; and Cassie Wallace as
Goldie.
The show begins its run on
November 20th and continues
through November 24th with a
special matinee performance for
high school students scheduled
for November 22nd. This play
promises to be one of the best of
this season's productions; be
sure to see it. You won't forget it.

Upon reading the summary printed last time in the
Rotunda, several people questioned why individuals were found
not responsible or no action was taken, particularly when the
violations appeared to be so severe. It is important to remember
that the hearing body has the responsibility to prove that the
accused is responsible. Therefore, if enough information is not
available it may be that the Board or Hearing Officer deter-
mined to take no further action in the case. It may also be clear,
based iq)on the information presented, that the accused is not
responsible. It is also important to remember that each case
must be determined individually. A particular sanction may be
imposed because the individual has already received in a
previous hearing the lesser sanction typically utilized for that
violation. It is also the responsibility of the hearing body to
determine which sanction is necessary to ensure that this
behavior will not occur again, therefore, a sanction may be
imposed which others might believe to be severe.
Much information cannot be shared with anyone except the
accused and the hearing body. All of us are protected by the
Freedom of Information Act which states that such information
does remain private. Therefore, readers are encouraged to
utilize the above information to better understand the general
standiirds of conduct but to refrain from establishing specific
judgements based upon this information.
A Student Advocate's Group is forming. This group would be
trained in the disciplinary system and would be available to
assist students who are going before the Boards or a Hearing
Officer. These trained students would not be able to act on
behalf of the accused, but would be able to support the accused
during the hearing. If you are interested, please contact Bar-
bara Gorski, Director of Student Services. Her office is on first
floor Tabb.

Around The Nation
A SURVEY ON RAPE at the
U. of Northern Iowa found that 36
percent of women students say
they've been forced to have
sexual intercourse, and 20
precent say they were victimized
at least six times.
A NEW ABUSE OF DRUGS by
teens and young adults involves
intravenous injections of the
drugs in nasal inhalants as a
substitute for amphetamines,
according to medical authorities.
Accurate figures on the number
of abusers are not available, but
authorities warn the abuse is
spreading.
HOME FOOTBALL GAMES at
the U. of Kansas bring about
$500,000 in business, per game, to
local merchants, according to the
Lawrence, Kan., chamber of
commerce.
BODY PASSING is considered
fourth-degree sexual assault by
campus police at the U. of
Wisconsin-Madison. Female
students are frequently lifted and
passed overhead to the top of the
stadium. UW police have been
combating the problem for five
years, but have had little luck in
stopping it.
A NEW DATING SERVICE,
catering to Midwestern colleges,
says it expected mostly
freshmen, but the bulk of their
business has been from seniors
and graduate students. The
service will give students names
of potential dates chosen
according to the students'
answers on a 34-question survey.
The questions range from
smoking, to abortion, to the
meaning of love and life.
BREAD NOT BOMBS is a
slogan taken seriously by
students at Brown U. The
students are organizing a bake
sale to raise money for a physics
professor, so he would not have to
accept funding from the Reagan
administration's Star Wars
program.
CITIZENSHIP SKILLS are not
being taught by American
schools, according to Ralph
Nader. Nader has been speaking
on campuses around the country,
charging that "students are
taught how to believe and not how
to think. The learning pro-
cess today is memorization,
regurgitation and vegetation."
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS
COMMONPLACE in higher
education, according to a study
by the Indiana U. Office of
Women's Affairs. The study
found that, every year, atwut 25
percent of the women enrolled in
college are sexually harassed.
DRUG TESTING isn't just for
athletes anymore. Arizona State
U. is testing athletes and
cheerleaders for drug abuse this
fall.
TRIVIA IS OUT: SCRUPI.ES
ARE IN. According to merchants
serving the U. of Nebraska area,
sales of the game Trivial Pursuit
have fallen and some stores are
reducing prices to "get rid of
them." The most recent fad is
Scruples, a game in which
players answer questions about
morality and personal opinions.
FIRST THERE WAS
GATORADE, invented by a U. of
Florida professor, not there's
Alligator Beer. Two UF seniors
have invented their own beer,
company and marketing plan.
"We just walked into Florida
Brewery, presented the idea and
sold ourselves — they just loved
us."
MAINTAINING A "C"
AVERAGE may be required of
students receiving federal
financial aid in the future.
Because Congress is searching
for ways to cut the federal
budget, and there has been much
said recently about poor students
getting financial aid, the
proposed change is expected to
pass.
JUDGE SAYS U. VIRGINIA
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
FRATERNITY ACCIDENT. A
state court ruled last week Sigma
Chi officers were not acting as
university agents when they
planned a fraternity outing that
ended when a truck filled with
students and two kegs of beer
overturned in 1982, killing two
and permanently disabling
Thomas Stumm, who now is
suing for damages. In August,
another court held the U. of
Denver liable for a fraternity
accident in which a student was
injured.

— We will be having juice at
Saturday Brunch. Also, those
who requested apple juice may
find it on the side closest to the
exit doors.
— Bagels will be served four
times a week now. They will be
out on Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.
— Questions about portion
control? Due to waste of food only
one portion will be given at a
time. Downstairs will soon be
making reasonable "custom
cuts" on subs but only on request,
otherwise you will receive the
pre-cut portion.
— Good news for brunch. You
can get whatever you want as
long as you only get ONE meat at
a time (meats include: roast
beef, London broil, bacon,
sausage, ham etc. ) eggs are not
meat!! !
— There will be a hot water
dispenser out for tea in the
mornings so don't get confused
and think there are two coffee
pots.
— The minutes of the Dining

By DEIRDRE McKENDRY
Writer Alexander Theroux
presented a reading from his new
novel, "An Adultery" at Wygal
Auditorium November 4.
Theroux is the author of poems,
children's books, essays, and
novels, and is currently writer-in-
residence at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. He is
recognized for his linguistic
precision and for providing a
perspective of American society.
"An Adultery" is about
personal relationships. The
selection from the reading dealt
with the relationship of the
protagonist of the story to a girl
named Angela. There is a close-
up view of her family and where
she lives. The relationship of
Christian to Angela's mother is
not a good one-due to her uneven
temperament. She is described,
at length within the novel, as a
hypochondriac who "spent a lot
of money trying to cheer herself
up." Theroux hilariously, yet
realistically, depicts this
housewife.
The mother's temperamental
personality leaves its toll on
Angela, continually robbing her
of her confidence. Angela seems
like a quiet and withdrawn girl,
and thus. Christian comes to the
realization that she has led a
'lost and tragic life" when he
spends the Christmas holidays at
ler home, watching her mother's
sudden brutality during a quiet
2vening, criticizing Angela. He
eventually ends up leaving her.
Angela is a tragic figure because
she isn't given the chance to grow
as an individual. As Christian
points out about their
relationship, "We had nothing in
connmon except our love." He
ends up leaving this situation.
"An Adultery" is a delightful
look at personalities and

A Novel by William Hoffman
1985, VIKING PRESS
I have always wanted to write a
book review column but I have
always had a hard time finishing
a book without starting two or
three other ones at the same
time. Well, I finally found a book
that could hold my attention long
enough to finish by itself.
William Hoffman's novel is a
must for anyone who has lived in
this area long enough to poke fun
at its inhabitants. The novel itself
takes place in a small town near
Farmville. Mr. Hoffman has
resided in Charlotte County,
Virginia, for quite some time,
himself.
The novel starts with the
bizarre death of a somewhat
permiscuous yet prominent
businessman. The local
prosecutor, who has not won a
case as long as anyone could
remember, decides to redeem
himself by cracking this
mysterious case. The prosecutor
and the reader soon find out this
is not your typical murder.
If you enjoy a good murder
niy.stery with plenty of sex and
action then check out this new
novel. Even if you hate murder
mysteries and deplore sex and
action 1 still have a feeling you
will find this novel quite
enjoyable. See you next time
when I review The New College
I^tin-English Dictionary.

members and administration
officials the Rotunda spoke to
contended the matter was put to
rest with the full cooperation of
the administrators in charge of
the Involvement Project. When
asked who was responsible for
creating the problem, the faculty
responses were more diversified.
Many faculty were content on
stressing the peaceful solution of
"an honest mistake" rather than
assessing blame. Other faculty
members believed the blame
rested on the Student
Development group, and that
"Bill Moore shaped up as the
turkey in this situation."

. . .And not for sonnething
completely different. Aside from
problems presented by the
Involvement Survey and pre-
registration, questions
concerning the actual content of
the survey began to surface.
Faculty mem-
bers mirrored students
objections to some of the
questions that students had to
answer. Questions on sexual
values raised eyebrows of faculty
and students alike. Some faculty
members believe the
methodology of the survey was
suspect, and did not conform to
normal ethical standards. There
were even questions raised
concerning the legality of
requiring students to sign and be
forced to particpate in any type of
survey. Many faculty
members put themselves in the
students' place and emphatically
stated they would have not filled
out the surveys (either).
Although the faculty members
seem to support the Involvement
Project in theory, it can be said
that in this case the means did not
justify the ends.
(Continued from Page 1)
While some institutions have
required "get involved" courses
(Virginia Wesleyan College
stipulates that first year students
must enroll in a one-credit
"Freshman Seminar" course,
which along with introducing
students to the fine arts, teaches
them how to get the most out of
school), a retired Longwood
administrator first suggested
that the Proj^ict be linked with
registration." I think (ex-Vice-
President for Academic Affairs)
Dr. Vail first came up with the
idea," Taylor said.
Current Vice-President for
Academic Affairs, Dr. Adams,
also knew about the plan to
include registration, along with
Longwood President Janet
Greenwood. Greenwood had
approved of the registration
linkage and ultimately decided to
reverse the decision. Despite
repeated attempts for an
interview on Friday, Greenwood
was "too busy" to comment on
the issue.
"We expected some flack
(from the students and faculty
about forced participation) as we
would with anything new,"
.Moore said. Because of this,
efforts were made to inform the
faculty advisors of the situation.
Moore continued, "We put
together a computer printout of
all the third-semester students
who would participate (around
830 in nuniber) and invited all of
their advisors to a series of
luncheon meetings." "Four or
five" meetings were scheduled to
insure against conflicting
schedule problems. According to
Moore, only about 35 percent of
the advisors showed up at any of
the meetings. At these luncheons,
faculty members were informed
of the purpose of the project, the
mandatory participation, and
were asked to comment and

make suggestions. "We received
good feed back from the faculty,"
Moore said.
To further prepare the faculty
advisors, a memo was sent to
every Department Advising
Coordinator with materials about
what was missed at the luncheon.
Both Moore and Taylor feel that
every effort was made to inform
the faculty of the situation in
plenty of time to correct any
problems with the new system.
The luncheons were scheduled
six weeks before the
preregistration process began.
Faculty members and students
were concerned about some of
the survey's contents. Out of the
140 questions, three were singled
out as being suspect.
From the survey:
Directions: Choose the
response most accurately
describing the frequency with
which you have done each
activity during the past year.
No. 98. Made friends with
someone whose race is different
from mine, or who comes from
another country.
No. 126. Maintained a sexual
lifestyle consistent with my
personal values.
No. 130. Maintained friendships
with people whose values about
sexual relationships are different
from mine.
Moore explains that these
questions are in the same group
as:
No. 80. Tried to understand
another person's point of view.
No. 75. Made friends with
students whose background or
interests are very different from
mine.
These questions pertain to one
of fourteen goals, a "Sense of
Awakening," which Moore
defines as "understanding
yourself and being tolerant of
others." The purpose of the
project is to clarify and define
(the fourteen goals) to make
sense ... I can't imagine why
someone would get upset ... the
questions are fairly harmless,
we're asking them to look at their
standards ... it doesn't say what
those standards are, the items

really don't carry a positive or
negative connotation to me."
Moore also asserts that people
may be misinterpretting the
purpose of the survey. "This is
not a research project ... the
point of the survey is to get
students to assess their use of
time. There is no attempt to look
at individual results."
In response to questions about
why students had to sign their
names to the survey, Moore
explains that it was a matter of
mechanics. "How could we
achieve assessment and
feedback if names weren't on
them? They had to get the survey
back (in the group discussions)
Moore added, "No one was forced
to answer the individual items."
Considering the events of the
past week, the future of the
actual survey is uncertain. The
Fourteen Goals and the
Involvement Project will remain
a priority in that Longwood and
all higher education institutions
are committed to helping
students get the most out of their
college experience.

Women^s Basketball
Tuesday, November 12, 1985 The Rotunda Page 11
Longwood women's basketball
coach Shirley Duncan is faced
with the unenviable task of trying
to maintain a winning tradition
without three players who scored
nearly 3,000 pioints and grabbed
over 2,000 rebounds over the past
four seasons. Florence Holmes,
Valerie Turner and Marianna
Johnson, Longwood's MVP's
over the past three campaigns,
have graduated.
"It will take more than one
year or one season to replace
what we lost last year." said the
coach, "We may be struggling
some this year. We are very
young and our schedule is
extremely tough."
Longwood, which opens its
season at American University
November 22, will get a chance
for a preseason tune-up Siuiday
at 3:00 when the Lady Lancers
host the Blue Angels Athletic
Club, a women's basketball team
made up of former college
cagers. The AAU sanctioned
team is based in Richmond.
Former Longwood standout
Cindy Eckel is a member of the
Blue Angels. Eckel scored 1,029
points for the Lady Lancers from
1979 through 1983. She ranks
fourth on the all-time scoring list.
Duncan has led Longwood to
seasons of 16-10 and 16-13 in two
years. Despite the losses from
last season's squad, some
talented players are on hand.
A trio of junior starters are
back. Guard Caren Forbes
scored 14.2 ppg. and dished off a
school record 140 assists. Inside
performers Melanie Lee, 5-11,
and Karen Boska, 6-1, combined
for over 17 points and 13 rebounds
per game in 1984-85. Duncan is
counting on the threesome to
provide leadership as well as
points, rebounds and assists.
Also returning from last season
is senior Beth Ralph, who joined
the Lady Lancers at midseason
and started several games. A 5-10
forward, she averaged 6.4 ppg.
Reserves back for another
season are sophomore guards
Annette Easterling and Angle
Hill.
Second-year center Barbie
Burton, 6-2, is academically
ineligible first semester, but
hopes to reioin the team in
Taylor, Stukes Crabs 2nd In Wrestling Tourney
In a strong showing by the
Longwood wrestling team,
sophomores David Taylor and
John Stukes took second place in
their respective weight classes
Saturday as the Lancers
competed in the Campbell
University Wrestling
Tournament in Buies Creek,
North Carolina.
Stukes, who won the 134-pound
division at the James Madison
Takedown Tournament
November 3, got a first round bye
and won two matches to reach the
finals. In the semi-finals he beat
an All-American from
Livingstone College. He lost a
decision to claim second place.
Taylor went 3-1 in the 190 class
and had a "super tournament",
according to coach Steve Nelson.
Nelson had special praise for
sophomore Pete Whitman who
went 4-1 to take third at 142.
"Pete had an exceptionally
good tournament," said Nelson.
"He wrestled really well. He was
probably our top performer."
Also finishing third for
Longwood was heavyweight
Jesus Strauss who went 2-1.
Terry Hyams was fourth at 190
with a 2-2 mark and Tim
Fitzgerald, wrestling
tmattached, was third at 118 with
a 3-1 mark.
Longwood's next action is
November 19 (next Tuesday)
when Division I William & Mary
pays a visit to Lancer Hall for a
7:00 bout.
January.
Four promising freshmen are
also in the fold. Center Sandy
Rawdon, 6-1, forward India
Walton, 5-9V^, forward Kita
Chambers, 5-9^/^, and guard
Angee Middleton, 5-6, comprise
one of Longwood's strongest
recruiting classes ever.
Duncan warns, however, that
the freshmen will have to grow up
in a hurry with only 10 players on
the squad first semester.
"We're hoping they will all be
able to make a contribution
early," said the coach.

Player Of The Week
Sophomore wrestler John
Stukes has gotten off to a strong
start in his first year with the
Lancers, winning six of his first
seven matches. Stukes has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
November 3-10. Player of the
Week is picked by the Longwood
Sports Information Office.
Stukes has garnered a
tournament title and a second
place finish in two tournaments
thus far.
He was 4-0 at the James
Madison Takedown Tournament
November 3 to win the crown in
his weight class and last
Saturday he came in second at
134 pounds in the Campbell
University Tournament with a 2-1
mark.
"John is a real hard worker
and a welcome addition to our
team," syas coach Steve Nelson.
"He'll be a strong point for us at
134 and has an excellent shot at
returning to the Division II
Nationals once again."
Women's
Volleyball
Longwood's women's
volleyball team ended its season
on a losing note last Tuesday,
falling to Chowan and Mary
Washington in Murfreesboro,
North Carolina.
Chowan beat the Lady Lancers
15-6, 15-10 while the Blue Tide
handed Longwood a 15-13, 15-8
defeat.
"All the seniors played and
they played really well," said
coach Linda Elliott. "Julie
Mobley came off the bench and
did a great job. She had several
kills."
Elliott expressed pride in her
team's accomplishments, despite
a record of 4-28.
"I'm proud of the whole team,"
she said. "They're leaving the
season as better volleyball
players. They learned a new
system and improved their skills.
Unfortunately, the win-loss
record won't show it. Opposing
coaches gave us credit for being
a scrappy bunch. I just wish I had
this year's seniors back for
another season."

MEN'S BASKETBALL
OUTLOOK
Coach Cal Luther enters his
fifth basketball season at
Longwood and 25th overall
seeking to reverse a rare losing
mark from a year ago when the
lancers ended up 11-17.
The 1984-85 campaign was a
"season of close games." The
Lancers played six overtime
games and had 13 games decided
in overtime or by two points or
Fields at mid-year because of
academic difficulties.
"It was a very frustrating
season," said Luther. "Despite
the tough breaks, I've never had
a team work harder than last
year's squad. Here at Longwood
we have been blessed with good
athletes who are also very good
people. The five seniors on this
year's squad are good examples
of this. They are dedicated to
making this their best season.
Although we are playing the
toughest schedule any Longwood
less. A strong, aggress^iye basketball team has ever played,
I am optimistic we can have a
defense (LC gave up just 61.6
ppg.) kept the Lancers in the
game with everyone on the
schedule. Longwood, however,
struggled offensively,
particularly after the loss of top -
scorer and rebounder Kenneth
wmnmg year.
Seniors Fields and Lonnie
Lewis, and junior Kevin Ricks
are perhaps the top three
returning players. Lewis, a 6-3
forward, scored 11.1 ppg. end was
Men's Soccer
An overtime 0-0 tie with arch-
rival Randolph-Macon Sunday
afternoon in Ashland brought an
end to a successful, but
disappointing season for
Longwood's men's soccer team.
The lancer hooters, despite a
124-3 record, won't be going to
the VISA or NCAA Playoffs this
season. Coach Rich Posipanko's
team had to win Sunday's game
to qualify for the State Playoffs
and liOngwood failed to do it.
The game with the Yellow
Jackets was reminiscent of last
year's 0-0 battle, which
ironically, propelled Ix)ngwood
into the State Playoffs and
eventually resulted in a co-State
Championship with Mary
Washington.
"It was a great game," said
Posipanko. "We just didn't get it
done. We missed two great
scoring opportunities and so did
Macon. The tie with Virginia
Wesleyan came back to haunt us.
If we had won that game (a 1-1
tie), we could have tied today and
still gone to the playoffs."
a starter during the second half of
the season a year ago. With 937
career points, Lewis is destined
to become the fifth player in
Longwood history to top the 1,000
point mark.
Fields, a 6-2 leaper, averaged
13.3 points through the Lancers'
first 12 games a year ago. An
explosive scorer inside. Fields
also averaged 4.3 rebounds and
hit 59.8 percent from the floor.
Ricks was the Lancers' top
defender last season with 78
steals and 13 blocked shots. He
also scored 7.8 points per game ;
and handed out 85 assists. Ricks'
status is questionable, however,
because of a treseason hand
injury.
Part-time starters back for
another year are seniors Dave
Edwards (6-6), Lionell Ogbum
(6-3), Frank Tennyson (5-8) and
junior Eric Pittman (6-2).
Sophomore reserve Mike Leake
provides size at 6-5.
Longwood's men's basketball
team, looking to make amends
for last season's 11-17 record,
opens its season Friday,
November 22 in the first round of
the Par-Bil's Tip-Off
Tournament in Lancer Hall.
The tournament, sponsored for
the third year by Par-Bil's Food

against Virginia Wesleyan in the

George Mason scored first to
take a 4-0 lead.
Longwood fought back to take a

George Mason came back with
a penalty kick late in the first half
to take a 7-6 lead into halftime.
Longwood played a tough

However, they were unable to
score while George Mason scored
twice in the waning minutes of
the match to seal a 16-6 victory.
Longwood has an overall
record of 5-4 and a 4-1 record
within their division. Longwood
plays its final match of the season
next week at VMI.
The Rotunda would like to
extend congratulations to Philipe

Class Of 86^s Job Outlook
Brighten s ' 'Sligh tly^^
BETHI^HEM, PA (CPS) -
Students who graduate in 1986
will enjoy "slightly" better
prospects for landing a job than
1985 grads, the College
Placement Council (CPC)
predicts.
All told, American businesses
expect to hire about two percent
more grads next year, the CPC
found in its annual mid-year
assessment of the student job
market.
The CPC's report, the first of
three national job outlook
surveys published by major
agencies in November and
December of each year, forecasts
better times ahead for most kinds
of majors.
But last year, the CPC's rosy
predictions of a bumper job
market for college grads did not
come true, in part because of the
computer industry slump.
"The recovery slowed down to
some degree," explains CPC
spokesman Rhea Nagle. "The big
fall-off in the Silicon Valley was
the category we were off in."
This year ' 'there will be plenty
of opportunities (for computer
majors) outside the computer
industry," says John Shingletjon,
placement director at Michigan
State and the sponsor of another
of the annual job outlooks.
Shingleton expects his report to
appear in a few weeks, and that
it also will indicate a "slightly"
better job market for the Class of
1986.
He also predicts starting
salaries will rise more slowly
than the Cost of Living Index
compiles by the federal
government.
In the CPC survey, firms said
they expected to hire seven
percent more business grads
than last year. They also forecast
having four percent more
openings for masters of business
administration, although last
year was a bad one for MBAs.
Students with degrees in
science, math and technical
disciplines — excluding
engineering — should also
experience a slightly improved
job market, CPC predicts.
Employers expect to hire three
percent more bachelor's grads in
these areas and 13 percent more
who have a master's, CPC data
show.
Employers' predictions of
engineering grads' prospects
"are contradictory," Nagle says.
"Employers are saying one
thing, but when they project
figures, those figures show a
decline."
The data indicate corporations
will hire five percent fewer grads
this year, but in interviews
engineering executives thought
there would be a rising demand
for engineers, explains Nagle.
"It's particularly surprising at
the bachelor's level because they

have been the most sought after
for a number of years," she adds.
Companies expect to have
seven percent more job openings
for engineering students with
advanced degrees, however.
Liberal arts majors face a
similarly confusing job market,
Nagle contends.
While the data show companies
anticipate hiring three percent
fewer liberal arts majors in the
coming year, many employers
say they are increasingly
interested in hiring humanities

Halley's Comet
By BARRETT BAKER
Picture, if you will, a blazing
6-billion-ton fireball, screaming
towards the earth at over 20,000
miles per hour! Could this be the
new plot line to another best-
selling fiction by Stephen King?
Possibly, but this story is not
expected to involve the
destruction of our planet as we
know it. In reality, this is a
description of Halley's Comet,
which is to appear for the first
time since 1910 sometime later
this year. From a scientific
viewpoint, this appearance will
give astronomers and scientists a
first-hand opportunity to unlock
some still unanswered mysteries
involving the origin of our
universe.
Although this fireball will not
actually be burning, it will defin-
itely be blazing. In an article
published in the Washington
Post, on January 27, 1985,
Michael Keman, the author of the
story, stated that Halley's comet
is going to be about 100 times
brighter than originally
predicted. This is due, in part, to
the core of the comet vaporizing
much sooner than previously
expected. According to Mr.
James Curley, who teaches
astronomy here at Longwood, the
prediction was also based on a
sort of 'safety factor.' In 1972, a
comet by the name of Kohoutek
was predicted to be almost as
spectacular as Halley's.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be
somewhat of a dud. "About a
year ago, Halley's was predicted
to be very poor — very poor
vision," Curiey said. "I think that
Kohoutek had a lot to do with
that. But even so, it will be less
than what it was in 1910, simply
because of our point of view —
where we are located in our orbit
relative to where the comet is.
You see, in 1910, we were so close
to the comet that the tail of it
actually went through the earth
— or we went through it. Now we
are going to be farther away from
it, thus it'll be a little dimmer, so
(they) were predicting poorer
results. Now they are saying,
'Hey! its vaporizing a little better
than we had anticiapted' so that's
going to make it brighter. And I
hope so, too," he finished,
"because this is a once-in-a-
lifetime thing, and if we miss it. .
So — what is a comet? What is
so special about Halley's comet
in particular? What is the
significance to this year's
appearance? And what are we
doing to avoid 'missing' it?
First of all, a comet is a mass of
frozen gasses with dust, sand,
and a little gravel nuxed in with it
— what astronomers refer to as a
'dirty snowball.' As this snowball
gets closer and closer to the sun,
the sun's radiation vaporizes
some of those frozen gasses,
casuing the head of the comet to
expand — up to much larger than
the size of the earth, creating a
tail that can extend out as far
from the comet as the distance
between the sun and the earth.
So, the closer it gets to the sun,
the larger it becomes.
Halley's comet is a special case
because of its extremely regular
appearances — showing itself
every 76 years or so. It has been
said, by a Chinese scientist, that
his ancestors may have spotted
the comet as far back as 1057 B.C.
But a Halley's historian at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, California, doubts this
date because subsequent close
passes in 374, 607, and 837 A.D.
would have changed its time
schedule. This would put a more
conventional date at around 240
B.C. — making next year's event
the 29th recorded appearance.
The comet gets its names from
Edmond Halley, who was the
first to discover that these comet
sightings throughout history
were all the same comet. Halley
first got excited about comets in
1682, when a spectacular one
appeared over his home in
Britain. He had previously been
working on a theory that would
conclude that a comet was the
cause of the great flood depicted
in the bible through the story of
Noah's Ark. Previously, during
Middle Ages, comets were
believed to be a phenomenon of
the atmosphere; that they were
part of the earth itself. Shortly
after this period, someone finally
figured out that it was not part of
our atmosphere and started
working on the theory of orbits.
Halley was the first person to
work out the comet's correct path
on a 76-year orbit and astonished
the world when he predicted its
return in 1759. Unfortunately, he
never got the satisfaction of
seeing his prediction come true.
This year's appearance of
Halley's comet is causing quite a
stir with the scientific world
because it will be the first
opportunity to find out where
comets actually come from.
"One idea," said Mr. Curley,
"and probably the most

On
Lankford
If this editorial seems to have a rhythm to it, it is because a pipe
above the ceiling has burst, demolished a ceiling tile, and is filling
the Rotunda office-suite complex with a rather consistent pitter-
patter-type drip. If this editorial seems to use an overabundance of
short words, it is because The Rotunda's Lankford Building home is
so cold that we can see our breath and can only take our hands out of
our pockets long enough to write the shortest of words.
This is a rather crappy situation, as it is difficult enough to get
people to come in to the office and work without asking them to
experience what, in essence, is the exact atmosphere of a slowly
melting igloo.
Let's see, what should I rank on this week? . . . I've got it, let's
examine the various frailties and shortcomings of the big, fat
elephant that is the Lankford Student Union Building.
Firstly, a big chunk of the comprehensive fee that we pay to Our
Lord, Cashiering and Student Accounts, goes to repay the loan that
bought Lankford ; this loan will be paid off around the time that we
are thinking up names for our grandchildren. (I've already decided
to name my first "Frankie Lankie", always hoping that the kid will
never get as useless and burdensome as his Student Union
namesake.)
Let's face it, if you don't work for The Rotunda, hold a SGA of-
fice, go bowling, play videogames, or appear in front of the judicial
board, you don't get a lick of use out of that place. (Oh yes, we did
take a nice fraternity picture on the front steps.)
To be fair, the Lancer Cafe is a huge step in the right direction
towards making Lankford a real Student Union; but if we apply
international mathematic principles and basic American
exaggerationism, we find that (considering the total cost of the
building) a beer at the Lancer Cafe costs us $750,000 per mug. Who's
buying the next round?
A quick look around upstairs will bring any budget-minded
student to tears. Besides Garth Wentzel's Oval Office-cubbyhole,
there isn't a thing up there worth a pud.
You have your color rooms that are all white, and will stay white
since we apparently aren't allowed to reserve them for parties
anymore. You've got your Mecklinburg prison-type T.V. room that
would rouse anybody but a Longwood student to riot. Of course,
there is the Day Student Lounge where all the weird people hang out.

Finally we have the Gold (fleece?) Room, A.K.A. Grandma's
living room. Apparently the purpose of this room goes along with
"living fully" at Longwood. How can anybody pretend to "live
fully" without knowing how to act at Grandma's house? Take your
shoes off! Don't slouch! Quit picking at your pimples! The only thing
missing is a fat lady at the door who pinches your cheeks when you
enter.
In reality, the Gold Room is an expensive gift from the
Longwood students to the Town of Farmville. The only time there
are more than two people in that damn room is when the townies get
together for the Women's Club, Men's Club, boy's club, girl's club,
pedaphile club or the club-foot club's annual thump dance. The only
time Longwood students use the Gold Room is when they are waiting
to be tried by judicial board. But we owe it to the Town of Farmville
as compensation for all of the time their police spend patrolling our
loading zones, right?
While discussing the problem of Longwood being a suitcase
college, with the President's Student Advisory Committee, Lank-
ford's uselessness came up. Administrative responses were: 1)
Janet Greenwood: "We're considering building two new wings on
Lankford, extending towards Stubbs." 2) Vice-President for
Academic Affairs Adams: "Maybe we should have classes on
Saturdays." I now respond: 1) Forget the new wings, let's save
money and improve what we have and 2) Where did this guy come
from and why?
The truth is, I, like everybody else, am stuck for answers to the
problem of Landford's under-usage. However, the first steps are
obvious: Fix the pipes, turn the heat on and drive a catapillar-
bulldozer right up them steps and into Grandma's living room.
The only way to have a real student union is to quit flying with
these winged ideas and approach the people who pay for, and are
suppossed to be benefitted by the ton of bricks that has Myron Lank-
ford rolling in his grave.
FIREARMS
The administration has recently overruled a judicial board
recommendation of probation for a student who had a gun in his
room; the student is gone, later, see ya, goodbye. The judicial board
has more gun cases coming up. You will be next on the long road
home if a room search turns up guns in your room.
The Campus Police will gladly store your gun if you wish to have
one on campus. Give Campus Police a call and bring all of your
guns ; their rooms don't get searched.
In a similar but different tidbit, we are told that anyone caught
pulling a fire alarm will be suspended from school as well. You
would be well advised to pull on something else, Ya pointy-headed
flits.

Living Fully' In S. Ruffner
Cable In Cunninghams
To the Editor:
I would like to take this
opportunity to offer support for
Mr. Weibl concerning the cable
T.V. issue. I approached Mr.
Weibl earlier this semester
regarding the feasibility of
getting hooked up to a roof
antenna on top of the
Cunningham complex. The idea
was ruled out, but he did strongly
suggest that I get residents to
show interest in cable TV so the
cable company would be
interested in hooking up the
building. After talking with
representatives and the manager
of Farmville Cablevision on
several occasions, the manager
agreed to send someone out to the
Cunninghams to see if the
building could be hooked up. The
men that came, checked out the
building and said it could be
wired for cable. The next day
Farmville Cablevision called me
back and said they would give the
Cunninghams cable service if
there were enough interested
residents. I immediately called
Mr. Weibl and asked him if it
would be O.K. to start drumming
up support. He gave me his O.K. !
So, Cunningham Residents, do
you want your MTV??? If so,
come by 204 South Cunningham
and sign up.
Thanks,

"'Life Thrcalenin^
To The Editor:
All right everybody, let's
gather all of our "life
threatening" materials and
carry them over to campus police
for storage. No, maybe that's not
such a good idea. I really don't
think there is enough space!
Perhaps it would be more
clever to define what "life
threatening" material is. In the
"Urgent Reminder" that was
issued to us all, it was stated that
things such as "firearms
fireworks, explosives, knives
(except nonspring pocket
Knives) are considered "life
threatening." (Oh, I see,
nonspring pocket knives can not
threaten someone's life, right?,
wrong!)
With a good imagination,
practically anyone can create
"life threatening" materials.
Let's begin now by ridding the
dining hall of all their knives,
spoons and torks. Also, we must
not forget the golf teams clubs;
or the baseball team's bats.
(Man, I bet an Accounting book
could really do some damage!)
It's the individuals who are
"life threatening," not the
materials which they may
possess. I believe that anything
which a person may own, is their
own personal thing. Who has the
right to take these things away
from them? And, if they wish to
store these items in their rooms,
what does it really matter? Think
about it, if someone wants to
threaten someone else's life,
storage of their personal items in
the campus pohce station will not
stop them.
Why start complete paranoia
over a few incidences. Isn't this
how wars are started? Lastly, it's
nice to get these reminders every
now and then; it really let's us
know what a real jungle we live
in. Students of Longwood, unite.
We are the soldiers on this great
battlefield. Present Arms! Or,
should we just turn ourselves
in??
Sincerely,

Box 648
As a denizen of South Ruffner's
3rd floor Residence Hall, I would
like to voice a few of my "pet
peeves" to those who are the
cause of many a sleepless night
along the west side of our humble
(what an understatement!)
abode.
Firstly, I will address Mr. and-
or Ms. To-Whom-It-May-Concem
in the dining hall-kitchen, who
might be able to tell me what
possible good can be done by the
12"xl2" exhaust fan that runs 24
hours a day in the alley below our
rooms. "How disturbing can a
little 12"xl2" exhaust fan be?"
you're thinking to yourself. Well,
things echo in that alley like you
wouldn't believe. That little
exhaust fan sounds like a Boeing
747 right outside our windows. At
night, with no other noises to
mask this monotonous droning,
the effect is better than that of 3
or 4 NO DOZE tablets. Even with
the windows closed, you can't
help feeling there's a Sherman
Tank somewhere close at hand
waiting for just the right moment
to pop in. (To make matters
worse, the few people that know
where the heck we live on
campus refuse to visit us because
our rooms more often than not
smell of what will be
affectionately referred to as
"Dinner" that evening in the
Dining Hall).
Now: how about the midnight
shift construction workers who
are rebuilding the porch at the
end of this alley — WHY are they
rebuilding it? No one ever uses it
or knows it exists — even if they
did, why work on it from 12-7
a.m.? Aren't the daylight hours
enough? (remember the echo . .
.)
Being a native New Yorker, I
am compelled to compare these
conditions to those found in
tenement neighborhoods of the
Bronx. Oh, how I love to peer
from yonder window and watch
diners across the way tiptoeing
their way through their Hearty
Beef Stew! Mr. Weibl, I'd like to
request permission to hang a
clothesline from one building to
the other to complete the scene.
Then all we'd need would be a big
Italian woman sticking her head
out a window calling "Anthony!
Anthony! Come home for dinner!
It's Wednesday — Prince
Spaghetti Day!" Perhaps you
could use some of last year's
room damage $ to hire someone
to do that for us — God only
knows it wasn't spent on painting
our rooms or replacing tht screen
in our hall kitchen. As a result,
pieces of our ceiling fall on our
heads periodically, our walls look
like a road map of lovely
downtown Saigon, and we have
pigeons in our kitchen. (These
things don't keep me awake at
night (except for the ceiling,
since I have the top bunk), but I
thought I'd mention them while
I'm at it . . .)
Sounds like a real

Parking Problem
An R.A.'s Opinion
By MICHAEL T. CLEMENTS
As we all know, Ix)ngwood's
system for providing parking
does leave something to be
desired. Many times we have
made seemingly endless joumies
lo or from the most desolate and
under-lighted reaches of campus
where we were forced, without
alternative to leave our vehicles.
Well gang, we have not suffered
enough.
Recently a statement was
made by the Parking Appeals
Committee which referred to the
alleged Loading and Fire Zone in
front of Curry and Frazer.
You know the ones you are told
to park in by campus police when
you first arrive as a freshman.
What was stated is that rule
which says "students are allowed
to park in loading zones for
twenty minutes if both hazard
and head lights are left on" but
does not refer to this area. -
Actually it does not refer to the
driveways in front of Cox,
Wheeler, or Stubbs either.
Technically none of these are
loading zones, they are there for
fire and emergency use only and
anyone parked in these areas
regardless of how many flashing
lights you have on your car is
subject to ticketing.
In conversation with members
of the Parking committee it
seems this has always been thei
case. In the past our campus ^
police have been somewhat
understanding about the fact that
most students would like to park
at least within a hundred yards of
the building in which they live,
when loading or unloading their
cars. Although do not forget those
guys downtown, they cannot get
you in front of Cox, Wheeler or
Stubbs, but anything in front of
Curry or Frazer is like money in
the bank to the Farmville Police
Department. So even though this
is not a new occurrence it seems
the law will be more strictly
enforced by both Police
Departments, especially with the
statement made by the
Parking Committee which was
supposedly being spread by word
of mouth. Don't you just love how
students are kept so well
informed?
In regards to this one question
still lingers, "Where are those
loading zones we are told of in the
parking rules and regulations
book?" And as usual nobody
seems to know about the ones for
any buildings, other than Curry
and Frazer. The zone designated
tjo accommodate these two
buildings is the small dirt area
which is situated between them.
With the departure of everyone
on Tuesday, we wish you a happy
and safe Thanksgiving. Although
it would be wise to beware of the '
eager little uninformed men with I
their pens and ticket books.
By JUDI LYNCH
R.A. — Those two letters are
either looked upon in awe, or
laughed at. Freshmen look upon
R.A.'s in awe, while the rest of
the school laughs at them.
What exactly is an R.A.?
Someone who is Really
Awesome? Or someone who is a
Real Asshole? What?
Being an R.A., I can honestly
say that students tend to forget
that their Resident Assistants are
people the same age who are
dedicating themselves to the
contentment of their fellow
students. They are not the "bad
guys," although they are often
considered to be such. They are
not spies for the judicial board,
living only for the misery of
others, while ruining the college
(party) atmosphere. And, they
certainly are not spending every
waking moment trying to meet a
quota of "write-ups."
What, then, are R.A.'s?
I recall this past sunmier,
coming home from a "real" job
at Smoketree Pool in Richmond,
only to find a letter in the mail
from Sue Saunders, our new
Dean of Students. Although I had
not applied for a position, I was
faced with an opportunity of a
lifetime (or so I was told by my
parents). AN R.A. POSITION AT
LONGWOOD COLLEGE!
I accepted the job, knowing the
sacrifices which I was about to
make. (Not being able to live in
Stubbs; not being able to continue
my rowdy behavior; etc. ) I began
my first phase of training in
August, not very excited at what I
had gotten myself into. (Plus, I
had to give up a whole week of
sun!)
SURPRISE!! I was wrong!
(Yes, I admit it.) It was probably
one of the more exciting weeks of
my life. I met people who I had
known and people I hadn't. The
funniest part was, no one fitted
the description which I myself
had made of typical R.A. I found
everyone there to be . .
.HUMAN! ! Fraternity members,
sorority members, wrestlers,
rugby players, Smurfs from
Kings Dominion, . . the list
continues. Where were the Army
sergeants, ready to drill the
incoming students? Where were
the detectives, ready to snoop out
a game of quarters or a Thursday
night party?
By the end of the week, my
outlook was one of total
positivity. I was looking forward
to meeting "MY GIRLS" and
helping to create a homey
atmosphere for them, while also
keeping them aware of the rules
and regulations expected to be
maintained. (Even the girls in
my kitchen were an experience I
was anticipating!) I was also
sorry to have that week come to a
close, because deep down I knew
that the close bonds developed
would soon be broken as old
friends returned and new
friendships started. We'd all go
our separate ways, trying to keep
this campus content and
controlled.
Although I did not go into detail
in this article about what an R.A.
is, I think I did a fair job of giving
you an insight as to WHO we are.
We're people who have a job to do
in terms of administration, while
also continuing our jobs as
students. . . and friends.
State Department Speaker
On Friday, November 22,
students were given a chance to
listen to and speak with Mr.
William Burns, Special Assistant
to the Deputy Secretary of State.
Students of Dr. Harbour's and
Dr. Helm's government classes
were given the opportunity to ask
questions concerning
Government policy in the Middle
East and elsewhere, following a
fifteen minute speech on the
Government's position. The
number and quality of questions
asked, showed that time in and
out of the classroom was not
wasted.
Mr. Burns surprised me in that
he appeared to be just out of
graduate school. He has made it
into a very influential position for
a man of his age. Mr. Bums was
also a typical government
representative; he was informed
and also informative. His view
was aligned with the
government's pro-Israeli position
(recent events not withstanding).
Several students spoke up for
Arab-Palestinian rights which
Mr. Bums did acknowledge but
also talked around like many
politicians. A luncheon followed
In the Virginia Room, but student
participation was lacking. I
would like to think more students
would take the time to better
themselves and the world around
them. Get more involved with the
issues that involve you; Get
involved with Student
Govemment, Student Life, and
the International studies
program here at Longwood.

Halley's Comet
(Continued from Page 1)
prevalent one, is that all comets
originally came from a gigantic
cloud of comet material probably
about three times as far out from
the sun as our last planet, Pluto
— called the Oort cloud. It that is
true than comets would contain
material which was produced
way back when the sun and solar
system was bom with hardly any
changes!" Unfortunately,
N.A.S.A. did not get the money to
send a probe directly to the
comet, but the United States will
have equipment on board the
European shot — Giotto — which
will meet with the comet on
March 13, 1986. The U. S. will also
have a cosmic dust analyzer
aboard the Soviet Vega-1 and
Vega-2 orbitors which will launch
shortly before the European
craft. This is the first joint space
operation between the Soviets
and the United States since 1975.
The space shuttle will also be
taking pictures from a distance
with the help of three ultra-violet
telescopes. These telescopes are
designed to pick up the area of
the comet that we will not be able
to see with the naked eye. "This
is why Kohoutek was such a
bomb," said Curley. "A comet
gives off two different types of
light — reflected sunlight off of
dust particles and ultraviolet
light from the vaporizing gasses.
That's what makes Halley's such
a nice comet — it has a high
percentage of dust. Kohoutek, on
the other hand, didn't have very
much dust, so all we got was
ultraviolet light, which was fine
with the astronomers because
they had ultraviolet senitive
film; something the naked eye
couldn't pick up." The Japanese
are also sending up a probe to
measure the hydrogen halo,
which will determine the effect of
solar wind on the comet's tail.
Part of all the hoopla to give
Halley's comet its first ever
physical examination is to
establish just how much longer it
will be orbitting. Scientists know
approximately the size of the
comet's nucleus, but have no idea
as to how much is rock and
dust. The more rock and dust
there is, the greater the chance of
nuclear vaporization. If this
should happen, the nucleus would
break into chunks forming
several smaller comets that
would follow the same cycle as
Halley's, but as a group instead.
Each time they came around,
they would lose a little more
material and eventually
dissapate — thus being the end of
Halley's comet as we know it.
Another significant part of the
scientific studies is to see exactly
what odds are involved with
Halley's comet actually hitting
the earth. Some say that it could
happen but the odds stand at
about a billion to one. However,
scientists believe that a very
small piece of the comet Encke
did strike the earth somewhere in
Siberia in the early 1900's. The
fragment was estimated to be
only about 40 yards across — in
comparison to Halley's three
mile diameter — but the
destruction it caused was
phenomenal. It was calculated to
have exploded five miles above
the earth's surface with an
explosion rated around 12
megatons. Fortunately, it hit in
an unpopulated area, obliterating
a 70-mile streak of trees,
flattening thousands of square
miles of forest land.

REPORT:
Education Majors May End Up
Teaching 'Wrong' Classes
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
Many college students planning
to become primary or secondary
school teachers can expect to
spend all or part of their time
teaching classes they are not
certified for, according to a new
study.
The study, produced by the
American Federation of
Teachers (AFT) and the Council
for Basic Education (CBE),
estimates some 200,000 teachers
are teaching at least one class a
day they are not properly trained
to teach.
"It is not an exaggeration to
infer that what some educators
call 'out-of-field' teaching is out
of control," says CBE director
Graham Down.
"It's not a pretty picture. The
implications for morale,
professionalism, pedagogy,
subject knowledge and student
learning are dire, to say the
least."
The study, released Sept. 24, is
based on a state-by-state survey
of misassigned teachers.
But because many states do not
track misassignments, a precise
accounting of the probelm is not
possible.
Although most states prohibit
misassignments, few have
reliable ways of preventing them,
the report concludes.
Moverover, some 15 states
permit misassignments on a
limited basis, the survey found,
while six don't restrict the
practice.
The report's authors reject the
widely-held assumption that
misassignments invariable occur
because of shortages of qualifed
teachers in certain disciplines.
In fact, they say, many English
and humanities classes are
taught by teachers certified in
other fields, even though there is
no shortage of English and
humanities instructors.
The authors call on state
lawmakers to tighen policies
against misassignments, but they
blame teachers themselves for
some of the problem.
Some teachers, the report says,
do not understand the subjects
they are certified to teach, and
are therefore reluctant to
challenge misassignments.
There is one feature of the
problem that will help reformers,
according to the report:
"It may be the only problem
currently plaguing education that
schools themselves could correct,
alone, quickly, without cost, and
probably with dramatic effect."

^Liberal'' Professors Named
Ambassad(pr\s Corner
By JIM SCHWARTZ
fCPS) — Accuracy in
Academia, the ideological
watchdog group that began
hunting for "liberal" professors
earlier this fall, has begun to
name names and, according to
some, to apply pressure on
administrators to rein in — if not
fire — the professors.
In its first newsletter, AIA
accused Arizona State political
science Prof. Mark Reader of
using his classes to espouse his
views on nuclear weaponry.
AIA then sent a letter
complaining about Reader to the
ASU administration.
AIA National Director
Matthew Scully says AIA will be
naming three more allegedly-
leftist professors in its next
newsletter, which the
organization distributes to 5,000
people and organizations.
Though Scully refuses to name
the three teachers AIA will
charge mislead their students.
College Press Service has
learned that Mary Karasch, a
history professor at Oakland
University in Michingan, will be
one of them.
Scully estimates there are
10,000 leftist professors working
on American campuses today,
and reports classroom
"monitors" — anonymous
students who inform AIA of what
they perceive as leftist teachers
— have already turned in the
names of about 100 instructors
since the program began in
September.
"I would assume a good
number (of the complaints) are
valid," Scully says.
So far, ASU has stood behind
Reader, the lone professor
named publicly.
"There have been no reprisals
against Reader," days Brent
Brown, Arizona State's vice
president of community affairs.
"He is a respected member of our
faculty."
"The administration has come
out on my behalf, fully and
completely," Reader affirms.
Brown adds there's been no
reaction from the state
legislature, either. During the
McCarthy Era in the early 1^'s,
state legislators sometimes
threatened to slash college
funding if the college refused to
fire professors with whom they
disagreed.
"I don't see any indication of
any pressure to muzzle our
professors," Brown says.
"We are very pleased with the
response of college presidents,"
says Iris Molotsky of the
American Association of
University Professors (AAUP),
which at a national meeting last
week passed resolutions
condemning AIA
"We don't think professors are
above criticism, it's the methods
(AIA uses to monitor lectures),"
Molotsky explains.
"What's really disturbing is
that they are enlisting students
who won't reveal their identity,"
she says.
"Spies in the classroom break
trust between people," Reader
contends. "Students have told me
that they are less willing to speak
up in the class and professors
don't feel free to talk privately to
students anymore. They don't
want conversation to become
public property."
Scully, however, disagrees
with Reader's public lectures,
largely because he uses too much
class time to discuss the threat of
nuclear war.
"He devotes his whole class to
the nuclear issue," Scully ways,
"If you call a course one thing,
you should not teach something
entirely different."
"The charges are false"
Reader says. "What's so lovely
(is that) I have so much
documentation. It will show that
they are inaccurate."
An anonymous AIA monitor
contends Oakland University
Prof. Karasch presents only the
"leftist" viewpoint about Central
America in her classes.
Scully refuses to elaborate on
the Karasch case, and Karasch
did not return phone calls to
College Press Service.
Scully says AIA looks into its
monitors' reports before
"reviewing" professors in its
newsletter.
But AIA's investigations and
professors' confidence their
schools will support them haven't
muted the alarm in the academic
community.
"I have never had the volume
of responses to any issue as this
one. It's of great concern,"
Milotsky says.
The implications of what AIA is
trying to do worry Reader. "It's
absolutely frightening."
"One step leads to another.
McCarthy started by labeling
people communists, but then
some of them lost their jobs,"
administrator Bill Antaramian
observes.
"This is what was done in Nazi
Germany. Students did this for
Hitler when he was getting
started," Antaramian adds.
Scully contends AIA's objective
is merely to "make free and open
debate," on views expoused by
leftist professors.
ASU's Reader attributes the
effort to what he sees as AIA's
unwillingness to allow free and
open debate.
"Most political thinking
(today) is being cast against the
possibility of extinction of the
human race," he says. "These
people don't want to think about
the extinction possibility."
But Scully asserts it's the
professors who aren't thinking.
"They (professors) have led an
insular existance. A word of
criticism to tbam represents
censorship," Scully observes.
"When you have an ideological
fever swamp, a little chill might
do them some good."
Schools don't see criticism of
conservative academiecs as
censorship, he asserts, noting the
case of Stanford anthropology
grad student Steven Mosher,
whom the university dismissed
after he reported stories of
alleged forced abortions in China.
"Why do professors talk about
unlimited freedom and Mosher
does not get it? He (Mosher)
offended their progressive
sensibilities," Scully maintains.
Stanford dropped Mosher from
a doctoral program in 1^3 after a
panel of faculty and members
determined that Mosher had
"endangered the subjects of his
research" by reporting the
alleged abortion scandal, a
serious example of "ethical
misconduct."
Mosher himself charges
Stanford failed to treat testimony
from his former wife about his
"misconduct" in China as
charges from "a scorned
woman."
"Nobody expects professors to
be bias-free," Scully says, but he
wants them not to abuse the spirit
of academic freedom by
advocating their views in class.
"If professors don't tell
students how lucky they are (to
live in the U.S.), they are not
doing their job," Scully believes.
He does not think
"conservative" professors
advocate their view in class.
"We need not pretend to need to
monitor conservative profs
abusing their position," Scully
says.

Getting Around Longivood
ByKIMSETZER
and OMAR FAKHOURY
Being handicapped or disabled,
temporarily or permanently, can
create problems on Longwood's
campus. Many of the buildings
are inaccessible to many
handicapped and disabled
students. There doesn't seem to
be much improvement in the
near future. Hiner, Her, and
I^ankford don't have elevators.
This makes it difficult for
disabled students to reach second
floor. Some can't even attend
events in the Gold Room.
There are a few facilities for
those in need of them. Wheeler,
South Cunningham, Curry and
Frazier have apartments for the
handicapped. Still, there is much
need for improvement in many
areas. Many elevators are not in
working order. Wheeler's
elevator has been broken since
the first few weeks of school. One
major complaint concerning this
dilemma is that of the
Ambassadors. Many
Ambassadors show their rooms
to prospective new students and
their parents. Many older
parents cannot climb the flights
of stairs. This entire situation
projects a bad image of
L^ngwood.
When it rains, many
handicapped or disabled persons
have trouble with the walkways.
The walkways are not cleared
and some slip on a wet leaf, on
mud, etc. Sara Collie, a
handicapped junior, stated that
she had a very hard time getting
railings put up on the steps in
front of Wheeler where she lives.
She also stated that railings are
needed across campus in addition
to lighting.
The dining hall can be the worst
obstacle to overcome. The ARA
workers provide no services for
handicapped persons. They have
to find another student to get
their food. Also, sometimes there
is a hard time getting a table on
ground floor. There is only one
elevator that serves Grainger
and Ruffner. It is usually closed
between twelve and one because
"it makes too much noise in the
tea room," states a teacher.
So, if you break your leg in a
rugby game, maybe the worst
obstacles to conquer are yet to
come . . .
Education Degree
May Take 6 Years
EAST LANSING, MI. (GPS) -
If a group of education deans gets
its way, most of the nation's
education majors will find it
much harder to graduate from
college in the near future.
Under the group's plan,
students intending to become
"regular career teachers" would
need six years of study to get
teaching certificates, while
"professional career teachers"
would have to obtain a second
advanced degree emphasizing
leadership.

itself The Holmes Group in honor

Dean Henry W. Holmes — hopes

colleges in its effort to create "a

Group said it hoped to overhaul
the education programs by 1990.
There is, moreover, "a
willingness of institutions to
move in this direction," says
Richard Prawat of the Holmes
Coordinating Conmiittee.
Prawat, a Michigan State
education professor, helped
present the group's suggestions
to the Academic Vice Presidents
Committee of the National
Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges.
Prawat says the report was
"received very positively."
The Holmes report coincides
with similar findings released
two weeks ago by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching.
The Carnegie study also
suggested tightening professional
standards to get greater
recognition and rewards for
teachers.
"It won't be enough to prepare
a new type of teacher," Prawat
says. "We need incentives for
holding the best and the
brightest."
To do so, the Holmes plan
would aim to create "career
professional teachers" who have
extensive academic training and
can lead the profession into
better supervising, and
developing and evaluating
coursework.
According to the plan, both
"career professional teachers"
and "regular career teachers"
would get undergraduate degrees
in academic subjects, rather than
in education.
Students would then devote a
fifth year of study to "learning to
teach."
They would spend a sixth year
in a supervised internship to
complete graduate
requirements.
Career professional teachers
would have to earn a second
advanced degree, and then would
qualify for higher pay.
Prawat envisions career
professional teachers,
comprising 20 to 25 percent of the
nation's teaching force, forming
an elite corps for the profession.
To work, the plan would need
the help of institutions that
employ teachers as well as those
that train them.
For example, elementary and
high schools would have to
prohibit instructors from
teaching subjects other than their
acadmic major.
While Prawat admits The
Holmes Group proposal is a
radical one, he doesn't believe its
rigorous training requirements
will discourage prospective
teachers.
"If we can change the
workplace, conditions and
compensation, then people will
know their career will reward
them for their efforts," he says.
But the plan may not be for all
colleges.
"While our goals and strategies
for improving teacher education
may be appropriate for teacher
training programs in other
institutions, they have been
designed with the research
universities in mind," explains
Judith I.,anier, dean of Michigan
State's College of Education and
chair of The Holmes Group.
Nevertheless, group organizers
hope to sign up a total of 100
schools in its reform efforts by
January, when the final version
of its report, "Goals for
Educating Teachers as
Professionals," is published.

TURNED DOWN FOR 75
CAMPUS JOBS, a 45-year-old
Arizona State U. student is
charging ASU with age
discrimination. "They hire
people who are 24 and pretty," he
says, "and I'm not 24 or pretty."
COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN
FILED against the U. of
Minnesota police by three
students arrested for an anti-
apartheid sit-in at the UM
president's office. The students
say police incapacitated them
with mace as they loaded them
into a police van, and then drove
around for 30 minutes, stopping
and starting quickly and
slamming them against the sides
of the van, instead of driving
straight to the police station. The
students also plan to file
complaints against the
Minneapolis police.
ANOTHER SCHOOL SONG has
been changed to recognize the
importance of female collegians:
The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology has changed its
"Arise Ye Sons if MIT" to
"Arise! All Ye of MIT."
A WAVE OF VIOLENCE has
prompted the Minneapolis police
to crack down on student parties
in neighborhoods near the U. of
Minnesota. Assaults and
stabbings have plagued student-
hosted parties since last year,
and police attribute it in part to
recent crackdowns on drunk
driving, which prompted more
parties at home.
TEXAS MAY AXE ITS
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
AGAIN: Students are circulating
a petition to dissolve the student
government on the grounds of
"general uselessness." If they
gather 840 valid signatures, the
campus will vote on the
dissolution issue m the next
election.
MINORITY STUDENTS
represent only 14 percent of all
students at four-year institutions
and 21 percent at two-year
schools, according to a new study
by the American Council on
Education. White students
comprise 82 percent of the four-
year student body, and 79 percent
of the two-year.
"RACIST" FLYERS,
distributed to advertise a student
bowling party at the U. of
California-Los Angeles, drew
strong objections from UCLA's
black, Hispanic and Asian
student groups. The flyers
portrayed a black infant playing
a drum above the caption "Take
the Skinheads Bowling." A
confrontation and verbal
exchange between the groups and
the bowlers prompted Bruin Bowl
to end the party.
RONALD REAGAN'S VISIT to
Milwaukee brought out about 300
student protesters from the U. of
Wisconsin campus in that city.
The theme of the protest was that
federal funds would be better
spent on education than on
defense.
A TUITION FREEZE was the
demand of more than 200 U. of
Iowa students and faculty who
gathered outside a recent UI
Board of Regents meeting.
Inside, the Regents raised tuition
by 6.5 percent.
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
Indiana U., named the nation's
second most sexually-active
campus by Playboy in 1983, was
called one of the nation's top 20
"coolest" schools in the latest
issue of High Times, the drug
magazine . . . Harvard President
Derek Bok has agreed to sell
shares in companies that helped
kill off the woolly mammoth, now
extinct for about 100,000 years.
EMPLOYERS WHO
DISCRIMINATE against gay and
lesbian job applicants will no
longer be allowed to conduct
interviews at Stanford Law
School. Previously, the law
school allowed recruiters who
practiced discrimination based
on sexual preference to the use
the school's facilities as long es
they disclosed their
discrimmatory practices in
advance.
CAMPUS C.I. A. WOES
CONTINUE: Police arrested 26
U. of Michigan protestors of

recruiters, but U. of Colorado
President E. Gordon Gee refused
to bar CIA recruiters from
campus. Also, last week, the
House Intelligence Committee
scheduled hearings into the CIA's
academic activities in the wake
of a revelation a Harvard
professor used CIA funds to stage
a campus conference.
BRANDEIS DECIDES TO
KEEP FUNDING AN 'ANTI-
SEMITIC STUDENT PAPER:
Students at largely-Jewish
Brandeis voted to cut off student
fees to a leftist student journal
called The Watch on the grounds
it was unsupportive of Israel. and
therefore anti-Semitic. But the
Faculty Senate last week voted to
retain funding for The Watch if it
agrees to faculty controls and
seeks wider student input into its
pages.
A bumper sticker dating club,
begun by student at the U. of
Kansas, has a unique student
twist. Members of the dating club
wear stickers on their backpacks.
The stickers have the club
telephone number and a four-
digit ID number. People who see
the sticker and would like to meet
the club member call the club
with the ID number and leave a
message. An "introductory
offer" is selling life memberships
for $7 to students and $15 to non-
students.
Longwood will be the sight of
the 1986 Southside Regional
Science Fair.
Although plans are still being
made, the basic outline of the
event is finished.
The fair is a two-day event and
will be held on March 14 and 15.
On the 14th the contestants
(winners of high school science
fairs) set up their exhibitions. On
the 15th there will be a speaker,
programs for the students, and
judging of the exhibits.
The exhibits are broken down
into 13 categories including
Biology, Chemistry, Micro-
Biology and Zoology.
Each contestant will receive a
certificate, the 2nd-3rd place
winners in each category will
receive pins, and the first place
winner in each category will
receive $25 and a chance to
compete with the twelve other
categories.
The top two winners of the
second judging will compete in -
the 37th International Science
Fair which will be held from May
11 through May 17 in Fort Worth,
Texas.
The remaining winners will
compete in the State Science Fair
which runs from March 11-March
17 in Richmond, VA.
At the present time, there are
12 counties participating in the
fair. Each of these counties must
pay $500 dollars to be associated
with the fair. The money raised
by the fees will be used to pay the
expenses of the contestants who
will compete in Fort Worth.

Nostalgia:
Since the beginning... 1920-1985
The following is the the third in a series of articles extracted from
old Rotunda issues. This article is a tribute to Dr. Joseph L. Jarman,
fourth President of The State Normal School.
( For our President, from his girls )
For you, whose life is as a torch held high, to guide us on our way,
we, your girls, would ask the boon of just these simple blessings: may
your eyes be always clear to see the things that the years should bring ;
may you have an imf altering faith that will lead you to your goal; may
each morning find you with courage and strength to face the task
before you; and each day's close bestow upon you the joy of unselfish
service rendered, and the peace of work well done.
Dr. Joseph L. Jarman, fourth
President of the State Normal
School, was born in
Charlottesville, Virginia, on the
19th day of November, 1867. His
father, William Dabney Jarman,
served in the Confederate Army,
and his mother was Catherine
Goodloe Lindsay, of the well-
known Lindsay family of
Albemarle County.
His early education was
obtained in the public schools of
Charlottesville, and at the age of
fourteen (having been left an
orphan ) he was sent to the Miller
Manual Training School, where
he remained from 1881 to 1886. In
the competitive examination, he
won the Miller Scholarship at the
University of Virginia, where he
as a student from 1886 to 1889,
devoting himself especially to the
Natural and Physical Sciences.
Upon completion of the course
at the University, he returned to
Miller School as a member of the
faculty, but remained there only
one year as, at the end of that
time, he was called to the chair of
Natural Science at Emory and
Henry College. He filled this
position for twelve years, and left
it in 1902, to take up work at
Farmville.
During his stay at Emory and
Henry College the degree of A.B.
was conferred upon him by that
institution, and since he has been
in Farmville, Hampden-Sydney
College has honored him with the
LL. D. degree. Within the past
year Dr. Jarman has been
elected to Phi Beta Kappa by the
University of Virginia Chapter,
an honor that comes to alumni
only after a prolonged period of
distinguished service.
Dr. Jarman has been a
member of many state and
national organizations and he has
held responsible offices in these
organizations. However, his
greatest contribution has been
made in connection with
education in Virginia, and
particularly in connection with
the State Normal School at
Famnville. The history of the
educational renaissance in
Virginia whidi has taken place in
the last thirty years is the
history of the work of wise and
courageous leaders, among
whom Dr. Jarman ranks near the
top.
The State Normal School at
Farmville, which is both a result
and a cause of the movement for
better education in the state, has
had a conspicious part in the
development of education in
Virginia. A good foundation was
laid when Dr. Jarman became
president in 1902, but it was only a
beginning. From a relatively
small school doing high grade
secondary-school work in the
main, it has become a modem
teachers college, with strictly
professional courses, covering
four years' work, with diversified
types of work fitting students for
many types of service in the
state, and an enrollment of over
700 students. It has been ranked
by competent judges among the
best normal schools of the
country. This growth in the large
is due to the foresight, careful
planning, and energy of Dr.
Jarman.
But an institution is more than
buildings, courses, faculty, and
students. Mere numbers and
comparative statistics do not
begin to describe the State
Normal School, or the work of Dr.
Jarman in developing the
Normal School. The biggest thing
in S.N.S. after all is its peculiar
and distinctive spirit. It cannot be
described in words. It can be felt
only. Students here gain more
than a knowledge of the textbooks
and training in teaching. There is
an indefinable atmosphere about
the school that affects in a
marked way the character and
personality of Farmville folks.
This intangible, stimulating, and
character-forming force is
probably the greatest thing about
the school. This force, emanating
from and passing to faculty and
students alike, finds its source in
the spirit and attitude of Dr.
Jarman.
In spite of his constructive
educational work, his
contribution to the educational
development of the state, honors
received at home and in various
parts of the country, the greatest
thing about Dr. Jarman is his
loving, sympathetic personality.
ENFORCEMENT OF
MARIJUANA LAWS is facing a
new challenge in Phoenix.
Stickers have been appearing on
the Arizona State U. campus
encouraging students to deluge
the police department's "Silent
Witness" telephone number with
"phony tip(s) about marijuana"
in the hope that rampant false
alarms will frustrate the police
and public enough to cause them
to give up on enforcement.
ENROLLMENT WILL DROP
AGAIN: According to the
National Center for Education
Statistics, there will be about
575,000 fewer students enrolled in
college by 1993.
PLAGIARISM is increasing,
says the chair of the political
science department at the U. of
Washington, and home
computers are part of the
problem. Sharing discs makes
the work of another available at
the push of a button, and the
editing commands make
alterations quick and easy.
A DATE RAPE SURVEY by
the U. of California-Los Angeles
found that 54 percent of males,
and 42 percent of females, say
forced sexual intercourse is OK
in some circumstances. An
Auburn U. study of college men
found that 61 percent say they
have sexually touched a woman
against her will.
THE RAPE OF MEN, both
heterosexually and
homosexually, is increasing,
according to the U. of Arizona
pohce.
MORE THAN 500 GREEKS
donated a helping hand in a local
Adopt-AS-House program near
the U. of Kentucky to paint and
repair the homes of the
underprivileged. Transportation,
equipment and refreshments
were donated by area businesses.
POLICE SUSPECT ARSON in
another fraternity house fire, this
time at the U. of Kentucky. No
connection has been made
between this fire and the recent
terrorist-style arsons at two
Colorado schools.
IT SEEMED UKE A GOOD
IDEA AT THE TIME: The
College Republicans at Western
Kentucky U. started a petition
drive to persuade the school to
divest of any stock in companies
that deal with the Soviet Union as
a protest of the Soviets'
occupation of Afghanistan.
Trouble is. Western invests only
in certificates of deposit and
treasury bills — and owns no
stock.
U. WISCONSIN
CHANCELLOR TELLS
CAMPUS STORIES TO

Wisconsin's student government
last spring banned campus sales
of magazines featuring unclothed
women. But last week,
Chancellor Irving Shain ordered
the resumption of magazine

free speech guarantees.
A PETITION DRIVE, opposing
a plan by Mercer U. to borrow $20
million for construction of a new
library and classroom building,
has been organized by students.
The plan calls for a $158 tuition
increase next year.
A DEACTIVATED HAND
GRENADE was left by Harvard
U. students in the mailbox of a
classmate judged to have made
the worst "bomb" of a comment
in class that week. The prank
forced a building evacuation.
MORE THAN 300 FELL FOR A

Longwood's young women's
basketball team ran into a tough
opening game assignment Friday
night at Divison I American
University and the Lady Lancers
came out on the short end of 97-53
contest.
With six players reaching
double figures, American
converted numerous Longwood
miscues into points while racing
to a 45-17 edge at the half. Coach
Shirley Duncan felt her team
played better in the second half
with the opening game jitters out
of the way.
Things don't get much easier
for Longwood in its next two
games as a Monday night visit to
Radford and the home opener
versus Virginia Commonwealth
Monday, December 2 are next on
the schedule. The Lady Lancer's
first game with a Division II
opponent is December 5 when St.
Paul's visits.
Three Longwood cagers
reached double figures Friday
night at American Guard Caren
Forbes led the way with 14 points.
Melanie Lee scored 10 points and
freshman Sandy Rawdon had 11.
Junior center Karen Boska was
the top rebounder with 8 and
scored 6 points.
Longwood played a solid game
in most aspects, shooting 50 per
cent from the floor (20-40) and
grabbing 30 rebounds to
American's 33. The Lady Lancers
turned the ball over 46 times,
however, enabling American to
get off 76 shots. The Lady Eagles
hit 40 of the those shots for 52.6
per cent.
"Our early season schedule is
very tough," said coach Duncan.
"I may be guilty of over-
scheduling. As a team we did
much better in the second half
against American. They (Lady
Eagles) were much more
talented and experienced than we
are. They forced many of our
turnovers. Radford will also be
good, but they're not experienced
as American."
American returned all five
starters and eight veterans from
a team that finished 12-14 a year
ago in Division I.

There are four teams left in the tournament with "Bandits" and
"Death From Above Strikes Again" still undefeated. Men's pool
finished up last week with Mike Horinko taking first and Lyndell
Shelton with second. Womens indoor soccer is just starting to get
under way with six teams in the tournament.
UPCOMING:

Basketball Entry Blank & meeting Dec. 4; Officials for basketball

In theory, basketball is a
simple game — put the ball in the
basket. Longwood's men's
basketball team found out the
truth of that axiom over the
weekend in the third par-bil's
Tip-Off Tournament.
The Lancers, opening the
season on their home court, were
handed two surprising losses by
hot-shooting teams. Virginia
Wesleyan canned 57.8 per cent of
its shots in a 78-70 win over
Longwood Friday night and St.
Paul's did even better Saturday
night, hitting 59.6 per cent in a 75-
64 victory over the Lancers.
Longwood shot only 41.2 per
cent against Wesleyan and 36 per
cent versus St. Paul's. Despite
hustling, scrambling comebacks
in both games and outstanding
play from seniors Lonnie Lewis
and Kenneth Fields, the Lancers
got too far behind to catch up in
both contests.
Now 0-2 for the first time since
1977, the Lancers visit Guilford
Tuesday night and then break for
Thanksgiving before returning to
play at North Carolina Charlotte
Monday, December 2.
For the record, Shippensburg
carried the Par-Bil's
Tournament Championship
trophy back with them to
Pennsylvania Sunday, after
beating St. Paul's 82-70 Friday
night and waltzing past Wesleyan
82-62 Saturday night.
The Red Raiders landed three
players on the All-Tournament
team, forward Mike Palm, the
tournament MVP, center Dale
Lay and guard Rick Jackson.
Longwood's Lonnie Lewis, who
tied Jackson for the fifth spot,
was joined by St. Paul's Keith
Downs and Virginia Wesleyan's
Joe Darby.
Shippensburg set a tournament
record by shooting 68 per cent in
their opening win over St. Paul's
and Jackson had a record 14
assists, seven in each game.
Longwood had its chances to
win both tournment contests, but
seemed to run out of gas. Against
St. Paul's, Fields scored seven
straight points in a 10-0 Lancer
run which moved the home team
from a 39-48 deficit to a 49-48 lead
with 11:58 remaining. The Tigers
then ran off the next sbc points
and held onto their lead.
Fields put on a spectacular
performance with 28 points, 17
coming in the second half. He
also hit 8-8 free throws and
grabbed six rebounds. Lewis
scored 18 points, grabbed six
rebounds and handed out seven
assists, a career high.
Center Quintin Kearney was
saddle with foul problems both
nights. He fouled out of the loss to
Virginia Wesleyan, playing just
15 minutes, and he picked up four
fouls against St. Paul's, staying
on the court 28 minutes.
Kearney proved to be a solid
performer when he wasn't on the
bench. The 6-6 junior had sbc
points and five rebounds Friday
Lonnie Lewis letps.
and nine points and seven
rebounds Saturday.
Guard Walter Harvey played
well for the Lancers against
Wesleyan Friday night with eight
points and five assists. The Blue
Marlins ran off 11 straight points
at the start of the second half to
take a 40-28 lead.- The Lancers
could never get closer than five
the rest of the way.
Lewis scored a career high 29
points and Fields added 11 points
and eight rebounds.
With 47 points in his first two
games, Lewis is fast approaching
the 1,000 point mark for career
scoring. The 6-3 senior from
Henrico High School has 984
points heading into Tuesday
night's game at Guilford. He will
be only the fifth player in
Ix)ngwood history to top 1,000
points.
The Lancers were hurt by the
hand injury of senior forward
Lionell Ogburn. Ogbum was able
to play just two minutes in the
tournament, after hurting the
hand in an accident last week.

Tommy Eaves 167, Jesus
Strauss-HWT, John Stukes 134,
and junior Billy Howard 158 went
3-0 for the day. Freshman John
Boatwright 150 went 2-0 against
his opponents. Stultes now has a
season record of 10-1, Howard 6-1,
and Whitman is 11-3 leading the
grapplers to a great start for the
1985^ season.
"All in all it was probably one
of the best days of wrestling
we've ever had," said coach
Steve Nelson. "We had a lot of
hustle, we worked hard and it
paid off."
Last Wednesday the lancers
played host to William & Mary
suffering their only loss this
season, 36-14.
"We made inexperienced
mistakes which always hurts,"
said Nelson. "We are young and
weak at the lower weights."
Whitman, Stukes, and Howard
were the only victors for
Longwood, winning by decisions.
Longwood's grapplers next
match will be the Washington &
Lee Tournament at Washington &
Lee on December 6-7.

Saturday at Hampden^ydney,
Longwood's wrestling team
perhaps its finest hour. At the
forefront of the Lancer showing
was junior Billy Howard who won
all four of his matches last week
and has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period November 17-24.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood Sports Information
Office.
A veteran in his third year on
the Lancer team, Howard took a
14-0 decision at 158 pounds in
Longwood's loss to William &
Mary Tuesday night and then
won all three of his matches
Saturday as the Lancers beat
Pfeiffer 39-14, Furman 36-18 and
Hampden-Sydney 39-8.
"Billy has wrestled extremely
well since getting his weight
down to 158 pounds," said coach
Steve Nelson. "He was rated as a
preseason All-Amerlcan loJfCAA
Division II and he has UvMttp to
that rating this past week.
"He is starting to show much
more maturity and is working
much harder this year," said the
coach. His hard work is shwoing
early season dividends as he is 4-0
in dual meets."
Longwood senior Mark
McArdle has been named to the
Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer
Association All-State team for the
third year in a row, and
teammates John Kennen and
Erick Kam have also been voted
to the select group. Kennen is a
two-time All-State pick.
McArdle, a second team All-
America in 1984, had three goals
and two assists from his midfield
position as the Lancers notched a
12-4-3 record and 20th place
national ranking in Division II.
Kennen, a senior forward,
collected 6 goals and a record-
tying 10 assists. Kam was a
consistently outstanding
performer at sweeper for what
was probably Longwood's best
defense ever.
Lancer hooters named to the
All-VISA second team are
goalkeeper Rob Liessem,
midfielder Mahfoud Kyoud and
forward Mark Kremen. All three
are juniors.
Liessem had a record-tying six
shutouts and a goals against
average of 0.88, Kyoud totaled 4
goals and 4 assists and Kremen
had eight goals and three assists.
Sunday, Nov. 24, 1985, at their
show at R-MWC, the Longwood
riding team brought home three
first place ribbons. These were
won by Mike Carey, LeaAnne
Lawson and Laura Thomas.
Mike's and LeaAnne's blues won
them a spot in the regional show.
This means they are both State
finalists. Among the other ribbon
winners were Liz Stevens, Bill
Fahey, Jennifer Winn, and
Sharron Kaufman.
The next show will be held on
Dec. 6, at Sweet Briar College.
Stay in tune for more state
finalists.

MICHAEL CLEMENTS
The upcoming election on
Tuesday will not only decide the
Student Government Association
officers, but as well, the
effectiveness of the SGA for the
next two semesters and possibly
even further into the future. My
plans of running for SGA
president are not new ones. I
have been involved in student
government since I arrived at
Longwood. As Freshman class
president, I was quickly oriented
with the system. Also, as
member of the Student Advisory
Committee to the President and
the Student Life Committee I am
able to witness and take part in
what I think is necessary to be a
good, knowledgeable and
effective SGA president
Through my involvement, I
have been able to form some
strong views about the policies,
administration and student body
of Ix)ngwood College. To be more
specific, I believe there are many
policies at Longwood that need to
be altered or amended. In the
same right, there are some that
should not exist at all and some
that do exist which should be
strictly informed. One such
policy is that of visitation. Past
studies about the feasibility of
our policy in comparsion with
those of other institutions have
been done. It is my plan to
continue the work done on this
subject and prepare a proposal to
the Board of Visitors on their next
visit, which will allow for a more
open and, in my opinion
reasonably visitation policy.
In reference to my views on the
administration and the student
body, I am very concerned with
the relationship between the two.
I feel that are far too many thing
that are done on this campus, in
which students don't have the
input they deserve. I strongly
believe there should be three
opinions equally considered on
any decisions that will effect the
college as a community. The
three opinions I am speaking of
are the administration, the
faculty and the students. As well,
I feel that the students are very
poorly informed about what is
happening on campus. If put in
the position to correct this,
correct it is what I will do.
Lastly, I plan to make a few
changes in the Student
Government Association itself.
This association is an
organization which will
represent, inform, and serve the
entire student body. Therefore, it
should be the most efficient
possible. One constitutional
change I plan to bring before the
Senate for vote is an amendment
that would make the Judical
Board Chairs members of the
Executive council. Also, I plan to
put more consideration in the
way that the money of SGA is
allocated to its various agencies,
such as Judical and Honor
Boards. Also, I sincerely plan to
see more funds go to residence
halls and other facilities, which I
believe will lead to an enchanced
pride in the institution of which
we are a part.
As you can see, I have a lot of
plans for the future of Longwood
College. I sincerely hope that you
the students are dedicated to the
betterment of the college as
much as I. In turn, I sincerely
hope you will put me in the
position to work for you on
Tuesday. Just remember to vote
with consideration to how your
choice will affect you. I feel a
vote for Michael Clements is a
vote for a better Longwood.
JOHN COLANGELO
When I came to this college a
year and a half ago I was one of
the privileged few who spent
those first important days of my
college career not in a dorm, but
in "temporary housing"
(basements, converted kitchens
and, as in my case, a motel
located a mile and a half from
campus). It seems that the
wonderful institute of higher
education in which I was
enrolling had a housing policy
about as old as the school itself.
I would like to work towards
the realization of several goals as
S.G.A. President, one of which is
a change in the current housing
policies of the school. I would like
to see further improvement in the
work currently underway to
develop separate housing for
fraternity and sorority members
as well as creating greater
opportunity for other students to
live off campus. I think that if
Longwood wants to grow and
become an important figure in
the world of education, it's going
to have to let go of some of its
traditional values and move
towards more modern and
efficient policies.
I think that work on a new
proposal for the Board of Visitors
should also be begun within this
next semester in order to develop
a more realistic visitation policy
than the form of "hide and go
seek" we have now. Much work
has already been done within the
S.G.A. in researching the
visitation policies at other
colleges and I feel that a
workable plan could be reached
within the near future. I would
like to see a lot of involvement
from the student body in
developing this plan as well as
other policies and programs
which affect the student
population. I will strive to
increase the intercommunication
of various student organizations
and the student body as a whole.
Policies such as limiting first
semester freshmen from
registering automobile on
campus should be made with
consideration from all sides and
not just the opinions of a limited
few. I personally would like to see
a policy such as this take effect as
well as the pursuit of additional
parking areas, somewhere within
this zip code, but I am open to
other suggestions and views on
the matter.
Another priority I see for the
S.G.A. in the coming year is to
keep the Judicial and Honor
Boards in student hands and
running smoothly. I think that the
reformation of the Student
Judicial Advisory Council
(SJAC) will prove a fundamental
step in supporting student rights.
I know from past experience
that nothing is immune to change
and that if you honestly feel
something is wrong you can
change it with a little hard work
and determination. I think that I
demonstrated this fact recently
with my effort to stop forced
participation of sophomores in
the Longwood Involvement
project.
I believe that through my
extensive involvement during
high school and here at lx)ngwood
that I have developed a solid
background of work in student
government and can bring new
ideas and a new approach to the
Student Government at
I/)ngwood. I have a real desire to
make the S.G.A. a more effective
instrument in improving the
quality of life here at Ix)ngwood.

Finally! Something is being
done about cleaning up our
campus. The fall of 1985 saw the
development of S.A.L.T.,
Students Against Longwood's
Trash. The goal of the group is to
increase awareness about the
importance of protecting our
living environment from
different kinds of pollution.
The group hopes to get student
involvement and to increase the
sense of pride around our campus
and throughout Farmville.

Nutritional Survey
By JUDITH BURKS
The Student Member Section of
Virginia Home Economics
received the results from 130
returned nutritional surveys
given to randomly selected
classes at Longwood.
The survey showed that dinner
was the meal eaten the most, and
breakfast was the meal often
skipped. This made a student
starting his day feel sluggish
which resulted in getting hungry
sooner. Therefore, the student
snacked throughout the day to
make up for the missed meal.
Most snacks were eaten between
dinner and bedtime. This created
extra calories that would

Parking Yet Again
By Maria Ginder
It seems as though the issue of
parking on campus is one that
has been played out over and
over again, but just recently I
was faced with a situation that
I'm sure many other students
have been stuck in.
I've been told that the campus
police offer ride services any
time of the night, but what if you
are returning to campus in the
late night or early morning and
you've been driving all around
the lots closet to your dorm, and
you see cars blocking other cars
in, cars taking up two spaces, etc
. . ., so you are faced with the
problem of parking across
campus somewhere and walking
back to your dorm alone.
Are phones properly placed all
around campus to call the
campus police for a ride? Will
they be willing to take along any
luggage you might have? What if
you don't have any change to
make the connection to the
Campus Police Office? (after all
you do have to deposit 25 cents
after dialing and the party has
answered).
I'm not sure what the
possibilities are to help solve this
problem, my concern is that it's
dangerous to walk across campus
alone during the late night or
early morning, regardless if you
are male or female.

On Saturday, December 7,
twenty-two youngsters
descended upon the Alpha Chi
Rho Chapter Room located in
main Cunningham basement.
The fraternity, along with the
help of several Sigma Sigma
Sigma volunteers, area
merchants, Reverend
Breckinridge, and Santa Glaus
entertained the Farmville area
underprivileged children.
The day started for the AXP
brothers with a daring journey
into Parkview Gardens
Apartments and to Woodlawn
Trailer Court where the young
tykes were holding up. The AXP
brothers and the volunteers
entertained the kids with their
wily antics, cheerful
conversation, and a few
Christmas carols.
Gifts, most of which were
donated by area merchants, were
given to the Santa Claus (AXP
Brother Mike Gary) and then
distributed to the children. Food
and drinks were also donated for
the children.
The children, ranging from six
to eleven years of age, were
chosen by Reverend
Breckenridge because they came
from low income families.
Reverend Breckinridge also
helped the fraternity with
planning the event.
Reverend Breckinridge said he
was very happy with the way
things turned out and was
confident all the children enjoyed
themselves.
Since this projct was so
successful AXP President Terry
Raum said he thought that AXP
would try this again in the future.

Couture 's Book
Historian Richard Couture
describes his recently published
book as "a labor of love."
The book is titled To Preserve
and Protect: A History of the
Association for the Preservation
of Virginia Antiquities (APVA).
Published by Taylor Publishing
Co. of Dallas, the book is now
available in Richmond
bookstores, from the APVA, and
from the Longwood College
bookstore.
Most of the book's fact — and
a great deal of the color and
commentary — were gleaned
from APVA Minutes, yearbooks,
and scrapbooks. Couture said he
enjoyed reading these materials
because "there is so much
humanity and h'imor involved."
He also interviewed many of
the present members of the
APVA, exploring how the
philosophy of the organization
has evolved and where it may be
headed.
The APVA was founded
January 4, 1889, when "a group of
ladies got together to try to
preserve Jamestown Island,"
Couture said. "Those public-
spirited and public-minded ladies
sort of backed into what has
become the premier preservation
organization in the country."
The APBA now owns 46
properties and has 22 branches. It
has been the model for several
other prestigious preservation
organizations.
Among important APVA
properties are: Jamestown, the
"cradle of America;" Bacon's
Ca.stle in Surry County, a huge
Jacobean structure built c. 1665;
the Cape Heniy Lighthouse, the
first lighthouse authorized by
Congress, built in 1791 near the
spot where the English colonists
landed on their way to
Jamestown; Scotchtown in
Hanover County, built c. 1719,
Patrick Henry's home during his
active political life and later the
girlhood home of Dolley Payne
Madison, wife of President
James Madison; the Mary Ball
Washington House in
Fredericksburg; and the John
Marshall House in Richmond.
The APVA also owns the
Colonial Capitol site and Powder
Magazine in Williamsburg but
has leased these properties for 99
years to Colonial Williamsburg,
Inc.
The overriding aim of the
organization throughout its
nearly 100 years of existence.
Couture says, has been to make
Virginia's historic shrines
accessible to the public through
preservation and education. As
each property was acquired,
work began immediately to make
it ready for opening to visitors.
The Association also has
undertaken the care and
protection of numerous tombs
and graveyards, the preservation
of historical records, the
restoration of gardens, and the
placing of plaques and other
markers at points of interest
throughout the state.
Couture says he has made no
attempt to hide the human follies,
frictions, and "rivalry
sometimes felt just below the
surface of the APVA Minutes.
"The ladies lived in conflict,"
he notes, "but there was never
any deep jealously, no lasting
bitterness nor hatred ... In strain
and at odds with government and
nature, the ladies fought time,
lethargy, inactivity, and
ignorance."
In publishing the APVA
history, Couture .said, he seeks
"only the credit that this
Association deserves for the
great work that has been done."
From its beginning with those
ladies who "wnet out and did the
job they felt they had to do" to
save Jamestown Island and other
Virginia shrines, the APVA has
become a multimillion-dollar
organization with headquarters
in Richmond and a professional
staff. Its work includes historical
research and archeological
explorations, authentic
restoration and furnishing of
homes and other buildings,
"living history" that
demonstrates the lifestyles of
bygone years, and oral histories
that record and preserve
personal reminiscences.
But the motivation for the work
is the same as it was a century
ago. Couture writes that the
APVA is "more than the sum of
its parts . . . and projects.
Overall, the APVA has come to
mean love. '"
"Love is a peculiar Word to
give to a sticks and stones
organization," he continues, "but
love is what motivated the early
work — love for Virginia and her
shrines. With the love, the APVA
would have been a cold and
unimportant organization in the
history of the Commonwealth."
Couture is assistant professor
of history at Longwood College
and resides at Boiling Island
Plantation in Goochland County.
He is the author of A Bicentennial
History of Powhatan County and
has done considerable work on a
history of Longwood College.
He is a lifetime member of the
APVA and serves on the board of
trustees of the Preservation
Alliance of Virginia.

Life
By Karen Wallace
The Counseling Service here at
Longwood offers a series of
workshops in addition to
individual counseling in Life
skills. Trained counselors assist
students with assertiveness
training, stress management,
weight control and other
problems that students are most
likely to face in college.
Assertiveness is the ability to
appropriately express yourself.
One learns not to be aggressive or
passive, and is taught to react,
through role play, calmly and
maturely. This type of ability to
react is helpful in dealing with
roommates. Sometimes when a
person does not like the actions of
his or her roommate they will
hold back their feelings instead of
expressing them honestly. At
some point in time the person
cannot hold back any longer and
their anger is released, usually
on their roommate. This just
causes problems. If students can
learn how to react to situations,
Skills
such resulting problems may not
occur.
We all know that college can
cause a lot of stress. Grades,
tests, peer pressure, and even
your family can cause most of
this .stress. The Life skills
workshop will teach the
individual coping skills, like
certain exercises, to deal with the
stress. This can make college
much easier to handle.
These life skills can help you
handle problems that may arise

Work Up A Sweat
SAN DIEGO, CA (CPS) - It
wasn't unusual to come across
Patty Randolph jogging,
stocking-footed, in the ladies'
room just before an exam.
As a student, Randolph jogged
to give her brain an ozygen boost
for the test. Now, as a
developmental psychology
lecturer for San Diego State, she
passes along similar study and
test-taking tips to her own
students.
"Studying is a kind of hoop-
jumping event," Randolph says.
"There are certain skills you can
develop that will put you a few
grade points higher.
"It can mean the difference
between a 'B+' and an 'A' or a
'C+' and a 'B,' " she adds.
Keeping the brain stimulated
during an exam is as important
as keeping the rest of your body
relaxed, she advises. Randolph
recommends drinking fruit juice
during an exam to maintain the
brain's glucose level.
When you receive the exam
paper, she suggests putting it
aside, closing your eyes and
clearing your mind.
"Take a deep breath and
relax; concentrate on how much
you know and don't worry about
what you don't know. Be
positive," she says.
Randolph says students
sometimes "psyche themselves
out" on exams to the point where
their completed test doesn't
reflect their actual knowledge.
Keeping your body in good
shape prior to an exam usually
helps the brain stay active, too.
"How well you think is
reflective of how your body is
doing," she says.
She recommends eating fruit,
instead of candy bars, for energy,
because it makes you feel better
physically, and feeling positive is
a must for doing well on a test.
Randolph compiles her study
tips from fellow faculty
members, counseling center
resources, and students
attending study workshops she
conducted at Texas Christian
University.
She says freshmen in
particular need study tips
because they "don't realize the
importance of studying as a
regular habit."
"They also have the added
burden of training other people to
respect their study habits; to
have other people accept their
studying."
If a student is afraid of the
material, he needs to have a talk
with himself and start with his
hardest subjects first, when he is
freshest, she advises.
"But if he is absolutely
paranoid, start with the easiest
subjects to reinforce
confidence."
But can you study too much?
Yes, she says, if extra studying
means skimping on sleep.
"It's okay to make trade-offs
on sleep versus study, depending
on how well you know your body.
Cut down on sleep if you know you
can still operate well," she
advises. "There's no point to
being so exhausted you aren't
able to say what you know on an
exam."
For some students, however,
the night before the test is spent
not reviewing information, but
learning it for the first time. Such
cramming, Randolph says, is a
"waste of time."
"If you've never put the
material in before, you're not
going to get it out during the
exam."

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT
FRESH SEAFOOD
A week that began with an 85-63
defeat at North Carolina
Charlotte ended on a roll for the
Longwood men's basketball team
as the Lancers polished off
Averett, Benedict and St. Leo to
up their record to 3-4.
Paced by senior co-captains
Kenneth Fields and Lonnie
Lewis, Longwood played well
defensively and got its fast break
going. The Lancers scored 100
points for the first time in three
years Wednesday night in a 102-57
win over Averett.
Friday and Saturday in the
Central Virginia Doubleheader at
Liberty University, Longwood
beat Benedict 86-72 and highly
regarded St. Leo 80-58. Fields had
46 points and 23 rebounds in the
two games while Lewis chipped
in with 56 points and 12 rebounds.
Fields is averaging 22.1 ppg. and
8 rpg. while Lewis is right behind
with a 21.7 ppg. average.
Center Quintin Kearney, who is
improving with each game, had
13 points and 11 rebounds in the
win over Benedict and 11 points
against St. Leo, a team that lost
to Liberty in overtime Friday
night. Kearney is averaging 10.8
points and 6.8 rebounds for
Longwood.
This week Longwood hosts
North Carolina Asheville Monday
night and visits Division I East
Carolina Wednesday night. The
games will end the Lancers' play
in 1985. The next contest will
be January 4, 1986 when St.
Vincent visits.
After Longwood got off to its 0-4
start this season, coach Cal
Luther told his team that better
days were ahead if they would
just keep plugging.
"I told our players that we
would battle our way back out of
this thing, if they would just keep
working and not lose confidence
in what we're trying to do."
Luther says the big keys to
Longwood's turnaround are
defense and shooting.
"We didn't shoot very well in
our first two games and our
opponents shot the lights out,"
said the coach. "Our shooting has
been excellent recently and our
defense has helped get us some
easy opportunities on the break."
Longwood has shot over 50
percent in each of its last five
games, culminating in the 67.9
percent the team had against St.
Leo.
Leading the way in the shooting
department are Fields and
Lewis. Fields canned 21 of 29
shots in the two games at Liberty
while Lewis bagged 22 of 33 field
goals. Lewis also hit 12 of 12 free
throws in the two games. He is
hitting 88.2 percent of his free
throws.
Fields, a 6-2 skywalker,
grabbed 13 rebounds in the win
over Benedict and 10 against St.
Leo. He's shooting .648 from the
floor and .841 from the line. He
had seven assists to go along with
his 24 points in Saturday night's
win.
Guards Frank Tennyson and
Kevin Ricks also had solid
performances over the weekend.
Tennyson had 10 points, 4 assists
and 2 steals and Ricks 9 points, 9
rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in
the win over Benedict.
Lonnie Lewis Named
Player Of The Week
Senior co-captain lonnie I>ewis
got his shooting eye zeroed in on
the basket last week, scoring 81
points in three Longwood men's
basketball victories. For his
performance, I^wis has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
December 1-8. Player of the
Week is chosen by the Ix)ngwood
Sports Information Office.
A 6-3 forward, I^wis had
games of 25, 30 and 26 points as
Ijongwood whipped Averett 102-
57, Benedict 86-72 and St. Leo 80-
58. The Henrico High School
graduate also made 13 of 13 free
throws and 34 of 48 shots from the
floor (70.8 per cent).
Lewis also moved into fourth
place on the all-time I>ongwood
career scoring list last week. He
now has 1,089 points to move past
Ail-American Kenny Ford, who
scored 1,040 from 1978 through
1981.
A starter off and on since his
freshman season, I>ewis is in the
midst of his best start ever. He
has now scored 20 or more points
in four of Ix)ngwood's seven
games and has demonstrated
improved play in both
rebounding and defense.
Currently averaging 21.7 ppg.,
I^wis is hitting 52.1 per cent of
his shots from the floor and 88.2
per cent from the free throw line.
He also has 19 steals and 19
assists.

Skeleton Comes To Longwood
\:rrCHTim-M\U€imClfl lilll Lancaster Library Temporary Home
Could Slash Student
Aid By 60%
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
Congress' new budget-balancing
bill, passed in December, could
mean student aid soon could be
cut by as much as 60 percent,
some college lobbyists here
warn.
The first round of cuts is due
March 1. Various sources
estimate the first round could
mean decreases of anywhere
from two to 40 to 60 percent in all
student aid programs.
The new law, usually called the
Gramm-Rudman law after
senators Philip Gramm (R-Tex.)
and Warren Rudman (R-NH),
who co-sponsored it, forces the
federal government to balance its
budget by 1991.
But in doing so. Congress is not
allowed to cut spending for Social
Security, some welfare
programs, many defense
programs or to pay off the federal
debt.
So, unless the government tries
to help balance the budget by
raising some taxes, education
programs will be tempting fiscal
targets, lobbyists say.
By calculating current
Gramm-Rudman targets and the
escalating deficit, Susan Frost of
the Committee for Education
Funding figures the U.S. Dept. of
Education will have to shave all
its college program funding by
4.6 percent in March and another
' 30 percent in October.
Educators are reluctant to
specify just how many students
would be forced out of school by
the cuts, or to estimate how much
schools would have to raise
tuition to compensate for them.
The same pressure to reduce
spending could also force
Congress to reduce college
program funding in the upcoming
Higher Education Act of 1985,
which sets spending levels
through 1990, adds Pat Smith,
legislative analyst for the
American Council on Education
(ACE).
Under the the new law, Ozer
estimates Congress will have to
trim about $11.7 billion from the
1986 fiscal year budget by March.
If it doesn't. President Reagan
would "sequester" funds,
deciding by himself which
programs not to fund in order to
save money.
Based on what he's done
before, the president would seem
likely to cut education programs
to do it.
The federal government will
spend about $8 billion on student
aid programs this year — about
the same as in fiscal 1985 before a
supplemental appropriation bill
funding Guaranteed Student
loans passed.
After March, the Gramm-
Rudman law then mandates the
government to find ways to keep
reducing the federal deficit by $36
billion a year through the rest of
this decade.
One way to reduce the deficit,
of course, is to raise taxes.
"More and more people are
talking about a tax increase. It
will be the only way," reports
Tom Gleason, a spokesman for
Sen. Gary Hart (D-CO).
"I don't think there is a
proclivity toward cuts," argrees
Bob Sneed, an aide to Sen. Ernest
Boilings (D-SC). "Most people
think drastic reductions" without
accompanying tax hikes "will be
dead on arrival" in Congress.
Gleason thinks some
conservative senators will
endorse tax hikes if they help
spare the defense budget from
cuts, though he doesn't expect
them to publicly support the
hikes until after next fall's
elections.
Ozer worries fall may be too
late for many student aid
programs.

Julie Gomiak, on anthropology
major at Longwood, is studying
the skeleton of an Indian woman
who lived approximately 300
years ago.
The skeleton was found in good
condition by Loy C. Carter in
September of 1984. It was
uncovered in Mecklenburg
county on the Dan River.
"Finding a complete skeleton
like this is fairly rare," said Dr.
Jordon, Associate Professor of
Anthropology." To the best of my
knowledge, this is the only burial
which is currently being analyzed
in the Commonwealth of
Virginia."
Gomiak feels the skeleton is in
good shape and said that they
have 174 of 206 bones.
The skeleton was found in a
fetal position. Gomiak said, "The
arms were crossed over the chest
and the knees were drawn up
toward the chest. They buried
people like that for two reasons:
it saved time digging because the
hole was smaller, and it aided in
what they believed was re-birth
Jnlle Gornlak and Oscarette who to now on display in Lancaster
Library.
into the next life."
A pottery vessel, necklace
made of turkeybone and a
bracelet made of shells were also
found with the skeleton.
Gorniak stated, "I think it's a
female. As far as I'm concerned,
the sex has been determined."
With this conclusion the skeleton
has been renamed Oscarette as
opposed to Oscar which was the
name it had when it was believed
to have been a male skeleton.
The skeleton is now on exhibit
in the library. It is in its flexed
burial position and can be found
on the main floor. Oscarette will
be remaining on campus until
March 25 then she will be
returned to Loy C. Carter.

who did the reporting.)
Spring Job Prospects Cool
EVANSTON, IL. (CPS) -
Spring grads' job prospects may
not be quite as positive as
previous reports predicted, the
latest testing of American
business' hiring plans indicates.
The previous reports,
moreover, suggested only
slightly better job prospects than
students had last year, when the
job market was at a nadir.
"I expect it to be flat, maybe
plus or minus one percent
compared to last year," observes
Victor Lindquist, supervisor of
Northwestern University's
Endicott Report, the most recent
of the three major surveys on job
prospects for graduating seniors.
And previously "hot"
engineering, computer and
chemistry grads are going to
have a much harder time finding
jobs than their counterparts of
me last few years.
Students are going to have to
commit to a longer job search
and be satisfied with fewer
choices," Lindquist says.
In late November, the College
Placement Council (CPC)
projected firms will make two
percent more job offers than they
did last spring, while in
December Michigan State's
national survey of buisness hiring
plans predicted a 1.4 percent rise
in job offers for '86 grads.
The three surveys ask
companies throughout A^.^
country how many first-time job
seekers they plan to hire from the
next graduating class.
Lindquist says his report was
less optimistic because it polled
firms three months after the CPC
did, and because it does not
sample government agencies'
plans like the CPC does.
"Our report is pretty close to
(John) Shingleton's at Michigan
(State)," he notes.
"All three surveys .sample
different populations," explains
Rhea Nagle of the CPC.
For only the third time in 20
years, Lindquist's "population"
had a declining interest in hiring
engineering majors. There will
be six percent fewer job offers for
them this year, the report said.
The Endicott Report also
predicts a nine percent decrease
in offers to chemistry majors.
The other reports anticipated a
"slight" increase.
The Northwestern survey does
agree that computer majors will
suffer a five percent decrease in
employment opportunities.

My girlfriend says, "Why don't you write a nice editorial for
once." I tried, I really did. I searched my heart for optimism and
benevolence. Perhaps I've had a poor upbringing; maybe it was that
time I was jumping on the bed like I wasn't supposed to and the
spring broke and I got launched into the dresser and split my head. .
Several students have approached me with the latest monetary
travesty perpretrated by Longwood College. The problem is with the
comprehensive fees. Apparently the Board of Visitors (it's a nice
place to visit but...) has decided that everybody must pay these fees
no matter what the circumstances.
Sometimes these circumstances get rather extreme, yet the
administration is handcuffed by Longwood policy and shows little
flexibility.
Student teachers always pay $400.00 in fees even though they
spend ten weeks of the semester up to 3 hours away teaching
drooling pre-pubescents how to 'write good'. The student teachers
are charged $345.00 in fees if they live off campus during the six
weeks they do spend at Longwood for modules. That means they are
Only a handful of staffers remain with The
Rotunda this semester. We need writers of all kinds.
We would like to have a reporter in each academic
department as well as independent 'Rovers' to write
on anything from student aid to deadly A.LD.S.,
from Rock and Roll to rocks of cocaine.
If you lust for the fast life of travel, celebrity and
high fashion that is The Rotunda, come to the
meeting at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday night. The
Rotunda office is located in Lankford, left of the post
office, or contact Frank Raio, Box 1133, 392-4012.

charged for sixty-plus dollars per week spent at Longwood. That's a
heck of a lot of student activity. That's a comprehensive fee alright.
Four students have been chosen to student teach in Korea this
semester. These students are true Longwood Ambassadors, paying
all their own expenses, pioneering a new program for the Longwood
brochure and probably recruiting new foreign students for
Longwood. You guessed it, these four students must pay full fees
also. The Board of Visitors must figure these people might fly back
for the weekend and catch a Student Union double feature.
The young and bold of the R.O.T.C. program must pay fees when
they go away to summer training sessions. If these students actually
came to the 'wood to enjoy the benefits of the fees, they would be
listed as A.W.O.L. and presumably would flunk the summer course.
"Yes Sir! I went to see a S-UN double feature Sir!!" "Drop and give
me a million, Cadet! "
Bruce Souza was slated to graduate in December but decided to
stay enrolled at Longwood and serve an internship at the General
Assembly in Richmond under Dr. Helms' government program.
Souza was billed for the full $335.00 comprensive fee. Souza and
Helms fought and won. The administration's Richard Hurley
decided that Souza was the exception because he had already earned
enough credit to graduate.
Hurley should be commended for being able to smell a ripoff and
make it right. But Hurley needs permission to be more flexible and
make more exceptions for some of these other cases. This can only
come from the Board of Visitors.
Longwood College must really need those dollars badly if it is
forced to steal it from student teachers and interns. Obviously the
money is already spent somewhere. The solution is simple. They are
gonna have to raise everybody's comprehensive fees by five or ten
bucks and stop charging students who cannot possibly spend the
dues they pay.
Future students will feel better about a more fair Longwood,
more parents and alumni might donate money and Rotunda editors
might begin writing wimpy 'nice' editorials.

To The Editor:
I am an elementary education
major, and I have something to
say about (as I am sure many
psychology and education majors
do) the education psychology
department being moved up to
the Wynne Building.
I was rather upset when I
arrived at school in August to find
out that half of my classes had
been moved to Wynne. (Never,
never land!) Although I have
adjusted to the "sprint" from
Wynne to Grainger everyday in
ten minutes or less, I am none too
happy with having a night class
at Wynne.
On Monday evenings, I trek up
to Wynne at about 6:30 p.m. (My
class starts at 7:00, so I have to
leave early to make sure I get
there in time). As the class is
ending I start to tense because I
realize that I have to walk down
that "long dark alley" to safety
by myself.
I am sure everyone is now
wondering where I am going with
this. Well, I would like to know
what were the administrators
thinking about when they
"stuck" one of the largest
departments up in "no man's
land." Didn't they consider how
many students would be late for
their classes when either coming
from or going to Wynne? Didn't
they consider how many people
would have to walk back to their
dorms in the dark? Didn't they
consider that walking either up or
down hill is not easily done on
loose gravel? Didn't they
consider that someone may get
attacked walking down the dark
wooded street late at night? Why,
even if they had to move the
education-psychology
department to Wynne, couldn't
they have put the night classes
some where directly on campus?
Why not Hiner? Wouldn't that be
more economical? Why have two
buildings open instead of only
one? These are just a few
questions that some of the
students and I have been raising.
I feel that something needs to
be done about this before
someone really gets hurt. If the
administrators of this fine college
feel that I am just blowing off
steam, I challenge any one of
them to walk beside me for a
week of classes. If after a week of
classes this brave administrator
still feels that the decision to
move the education-psychology
department to the Wynne
building wasn't made in haste,
then I will reevaluate my
objections. Until then I can only
feel that this was another blind
decision made by the
administrators of Longwood
College without considering all of
the repercussions.

Governor-elect Gerald L.
Baliles is pleased to announce
that the Governor's Fellows
program, created in 1982, will be
repeated in 1986. Fellows will
serve during the summer of 1986.
Coordinator of the program is A.
E. Dick Howard, Professor of
Law at the University of Virginia.
Purpose. The purpose of the
program is to offer talented and
highly motivated young people
firsthand experience in the
processes of state government.
As a result of their experience,
Fellows may well be attracted to
careers in government or public
service. In addition to giving
Fellows valuable experience, the
program is designed to bring
fresh ideas into the Governor's
Office. Moreover, the program
should serve to strengthen ties
between the state government
and Virginia's academic
community, building a mutual
sense of understanding and
rapport.
Eligibility. Students must be
graduating seniors or must be
enrolled as degree candidates in
a graduate or professional
school. Students enrolled in
Virginia colleges or universities,
public or private, may apply,
regardless of state of residence.
Virginia residents enrolled in out-
of-state institutions, public or
private, may also apply. In the
selection process, there will be no
discrimination on political,
racial, religious, or sexual
grounds.
Duration of Fellowship. An
applicant selected as a Fellow
must be willing to commit at
least two months to full-time
work in the Governor's Office.
The normal period of Fellowship
would be from the first week in
June to the last week in July,
1986.
Assignment of Fellows.
Fellows will be assigned to work
with members of the Governor's
Cabinet or personal staff. The
nature of the assignments will
depend partly on the official's
needs and partly on the
background and experience of
the Fellow. The number of
Fellows selected will depend
upon the quality of the
applications.
Funding. No state funds are
available to support Fellows.
However, in previous years,
colleges and universities proved
willing to offer summer grants to
Fellows selected from those
institutions. In 1986, institutions
from which Fellows are selected
will again be urged to make
summer grants available.
Screening of Applications. A
panel of distinguished Virginia
educators has agreed to screen
the applications. Personal
interviews may be requested, at
the discretion of the panel.
Application Procedure.
Applicants should submit:
(1) A letter of application,
(2) A resume,
(3) Transcripts of
undergraduate grades and of
graduate school grades, if any.
Be sure to indicate GPA.
Applications should include,
either in the letter or the resume,
the following information:
(1) Name, address, and
telephone number (both present
and permanent).
(2) Schools attended (with
dates) and degrees, if any.
(3) Extracurricular activities.
(4) Awards and recognitions.
(5) Work experience.
(6) Voluntary community
activities.
Applicants may submit such
other information as they deem
relevant, e.g., list of publications,
leisure interests, etc.
Letters of Recommendation.
Letters of recommendation
would be helpful. One or two
should suffice in most cases.
Letters should be sent directly to
the Governor's Fellows
Program, rather than being
submitted by the applicant with
the application.
Deadline. Applications must be
received by February 8, 1986.
Send applications to: A. E.

Governor, Richmond, Virginia

will. But their happiness is
shortlived as word arrives from
Venice that Antonio's merchant
ships have been wrecked at sea
and Shylock is demanding his
most popular and controversial pound of flesh. Bassanio hurries
comedies. Centering on the issues
of law, love, and business, the
play has been praised for its
exhaltation of mercy and
condemned for its seeming anti-
Semitism. The play is set in Italy
where the beautiful Portia has
been kept a rich recluse with her
cousin Nerissa by her father's
will, which states that she may
marry the man who chooses the
correct of three caskets: one of
gold, one of silver, and one of
lead. Thus deprived of her free
will, she pines for a young
Venetian, Bassanio, while she is
courted by many suitors she will
not have.
Bassanio is also in love with
Portia, but lacks sufficient
money to woo her. He tries to
borrow from his friend the
merchant, Antonio, but Antonio's
money has all been invested in a
fleet of ships. However, Antonio
agrees to .stand bond for Bassanio
to borrow the money from
Shylock, a Jewish money lender.
Shylock agrees to lend the
money, but since Antonio has no
capital, he requires as collateral
a pound of Antonio's flesh.
Meanwhile, Shylock's
daughter, Jessica, has eloped
with Lorenzo, a friend of
Bassanio's, taking much of
Shylock's wealth with her.
Shylock suspects Antonio of being
behind the elopement and
is determined to punish him.
Bassanio goes to Portia's home
back to Venice with money to
repay Shylock, but Shylock
refused to accept it. Instead he
demands his pound of flesh from
Antonio.
Portia, who has followed
Bassanio back to Venice,
masquerades as a judge and
hears the case in court, granting
Shylock his pound of flesh — but
refusing him even one drop of
Antonio's blood. Confounded,
Shylock is unable to collect and
his goods are confiscated and he
is compelled to convert to
Christianity.
Portia, still masquerading as
the judge, also tricks Bassanio
into giving her his engagement
ring, which he has sworn to her
never to remove from his finger,
as a token of gratitude for saving
Antonio. When all return to
Belmont, there is much berating
of each other about the rings, but
all ends merrily as Bassanio and
Portia, along with Lorenzo and
Jessica, among others, plan
weddings and lives filled with
happiness, as befits the
resolution of all comedies.
Amy McLellan plays the role of
Portia and Dan Snow is Shylock.
Ms. McLellan is a graduate of the
National Shakespeare
Conservatory and has played a
number of roles in New York and
at the Pioneer Playhouse in
Danville, Kentucky. Snow has
appeared in New York in various
roles, including the role of Danny
Minx in Joyce Carol Gates's play
Theatre," which tours the south
each year.
The National Shakespear
Company's production of The
Merchant of Venice is being
directed by Ron Daley. Daley has
been with the NSC since 1976 and
has directed a number of the tour
shows, including Macbeth,
Hamlet, Twelfth Night, and
Taming of the Shrew. He also is

I.K.S. May Itrvieu Siiidrnl Loan A|)|)li<*ations
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
The Internal Revenue Service,
recently signed up to help corral
.students who default on their
student loans, may now get in the
business of deciding if students
are telling the truth on their aid
applications.
To "catch errors" on student
aid applications, the Office of
Management and Budget (0MB)
.said last week it will ask
Congress to give federal agencies
access to IRS records.
Claiming student loans have
the "highest error rate" of any
federal benefit program, 0MB
spokesman Steve Tupper says
the plan could save the

And when it's 90% cur-

of saving the breast.
The trick is catching it
early. And that's exactly
what a mammogram can do.

government at least $1 billion.
But some student aid officials
say the 0MB insists on
overestimating the error rate.
"There seems to be an attitude
that there are a whole bunch of
people out there cheating," says
Dallas Martin, head of the
National Association of Student
Financial Aid Administaators.
"But our experience has been
that people are very, very
honest," he notes.
Tupper is quick to say he
doesn't believe students are
"cheating," though he does call
the measure "very necessary,"
and believes Martin "is very |
wrong."
Nineteen percent of all Pell
Grant recipients, for example,
are overpaid because of
informational errors on the
applications, Tupper maintains.
By verifying family income
information with the IRS,
institutions can make sure
"everyone receives just the right
amount of money they're entitled j
to," he adds.
But as the 0MB hurries to ]
complete the proposal before
Congress adjourns for the
holidays. House members
already are complaining the
system would invade students'
privacy.
"In an attempt to eliminate
abuse in government programs,
we may also be eliminating
privacy and personal
independence," says Rep. Don
Edwards, the Democratic
chairman of the House Judiciary
Subcommittee on Civil and
Constitutional Rights.
Student aid is only the most
recent addition to the Reagan
administration's effort to solve
the "payment integrity
problems" troubling federal
benefit programs by bringing in
the IRS.
Congress has already approved
having the IRS verify income and
eligibility for the food stamp,
unemployment, Medicaid, and
Aid to Dependent Children
programs.
In August, the administration
announced it would also have the
IRS withhold the tax returns of
people who are in default on their
students loan repayments.
The withholding will start with
1985 tax returns.
"The 0MB is saying to
Congress, if your intent is
payment integrity, then you must
add at least a dozen other
programs (to the verification
systems) including student aid,"
Tupper says.
Tupper says the error rate for
all federal benefit programs
currently stands at five percent.
Allowing agancies access to
IRS and other information — eg.,
alien status, Cocial Security files
and railroad retirement income
— would decrease the error
amount by as much as $1 billion,
Tupper estimates.
Under the new proposal, the
Pell Grant overall error rate
would drop "by much more than
a few (percentage points,"
Tupper says.
Meanwhile, the Department of
Education's Office of Student Aid
and the American Council on
Education say they'll reserve
judgement until the proposal
makes its way to Congress.

"A good orientation program is
essential for new students en-
tering Longwood if they desire to
gain the maximum out of their
college life. The opportunities are
here, and orientation opens doors
for new students that allows them
to become more well rounded
individuals and sharpen many
valuable skills they will need
later in life."
Rudy Hull
"I thoroughly enjoyed being an
orientation leader. I feel it not
only put me in contact with new
and interesting people, but also
made me more familiar with
Longwood College and what a full
college life should include."
Michael Clements

at being an orientation leader. It
was a good experience helping
incoming freshmen with their
problems and questions. I
learned a lot about Longwood
while helping them."
Lisa LeMay
Orientation for fall of 1986 has
just entered its preliminary
planning stages. Now is the time
to take the opportunity to get
involved in Longwood, develop
leadership skills, and meet
people. The requirements for an
orientation leader are to par-
ticipate in leadership develop-
ment sessions for a total of 4-6
hours during the spring '86
semester, participate in a 4-day
training session and maintain a
2.2 G.P.A. This year there will be
a $100 salary for all leaders.
If anyone is interested in ap-
plying for a position, and is
willing to dedicate themselves to
the orientation program, ap-
plications will be available in the
information office on Monday,
January 20, 1986. If there are any
questions contact Kathe Taylor in
Student Development (392-9298),

Student Aid
(Continued from Page 1)
"Clearly cuts will be triggered
before possible tax legislation,"
she says.
ACE'S Smith, moreover,
doesn't think states readily will
replace federal student aid cuts
with funds of their own.
"We haven't heard of any
quantum leaps in state aid,"
Smith says. "It tends to go up
with inflation, and that's it."
Lobbyists have not
surrendered, though.
The USSA will be organizing a
letter campaign around the
country for students to write their
representatives. The target time
will be around St. Patrick's Day,
when legislators will be making
key decisions. "We will be
working the green back in the
education budget," Ozer says.
A similar nationwide letter-
writing campaign helped defeat a

Not all the news is gloomy,
however.
There is, Lindquist found, a
continuing employer interest in
business and marketing degrees.
And liberal arts grads have
better job prospects this yar, the
Endicott Report found.
Firms planned to make 12
percent more job offers to liberal
arts grads then they did last year,
Linquist says.
Companies think liberal arts
majors are "more able to deal
with disparate thoughts and
ideas. Their thinking is more
holistic," Linquist says.
"We need people who can
translate computers into usable
terms," explains Steve Bennett,
author of "Playing Hardball with
Soft Skills," a soon-to-be-released
book about how liberal arts
majors can break into the job
market.
Lindquist says American
Telephone and Telegraph
(AT&T) recruits Uberal arts
majors as managers because
they perform better than any
other degree.
Lindquist also credits the move
by many liberal arts majors to
take a more diversified
curriculum, which often includes
computer, math and business
courses. "Kids are getting better
prepared for jobs."
In preparing for the job
market, Lindquist recommends
seniors had "better hit the
ground running now, get a
resume together, know the
market. You are going to be
competing with all your
classmates. It's going to be a
very competitive year."

Halley's Comet:
Science or Sales
By BARRETT BAKER
With the threat of catastrophe
all but put aside, some en-
treprenuers are viewing Halley's
comet as an excellent chance to
take advantage of a good thing.
According to Mr. James Caleb,
who teaches marketing as a
profession, this is one of those
typical situations that comes
about periodically where people
have definite reasons for doing
particular things. "Some of these
people are trying to 'make a
name for themselves' to show
what they can do in the
marketing area and then use that
for a stepping stone for other
projects," he said. "But I think
that most of them are just in for a
fast buck. I don't believe people
when they tell me that they are
not in it for the money or they
aren't in it for something. They
must have some goal in mind or
else they wouldn't be doing it in
the first place."
From a marketing standpoint,
the appearance of the comet is
going to be almost as significant
to sales as it is to science. And
similar to the expectations of
scientists, marketing experts and
novices alike are already gearing
up for the big event. "You have to
look ahead on something like
this," said Mr. Caleb. "There is
already enough competition the
way it is, but if you get in on it
early enough, producing the
gambit of products that would be
applicable to this situation — t-
shirts, bumper stickers, reprints
of scientific findings — you may
be able to discourage at least
some competition. However," he
finishes, "there is still going to be
the Johnny-come-latelys that will
be saying, 'uh, oh! look what's
happening here!' and they'll
jump on the wagon, too." Already
there are more than 16 different
Halley t-shirts on the market with
topics ranging from those who
saw it in 1910, to those who will
see it again in 2061. Most slogans,
however, are geared towards the
'once in a lifetimers'.
In other words, whoever gets to
market first will probably rake in
the fastest money, and when
trying to exploit something that's
going to come around every 76
years for only about six months,
fast is a key word. "Except, of
course, for the products that are
going to appreciate with time,"
said Mr. Caleb, "most of the
people involved are not looking at
this as something to make a
living off of for the next ten years.
There are a lot of companies who
just do things like this — special
event kind of things like Halley's
comet or the Olympics. They
don't just come into an event and
then get out after it's over — they
do other things as well. Take the
people who make t-shirts, for
instance. They change their
product simply by changing the
logos, regardless of whether it's
going to be about the comet or
whatever. Bumper stickers are
the same way." Some of the more
expensive items that are ex-
pected to appreciate with time
are bronze medalions inscribed
with "Libra Nos a Malo
Cometae" or "save us from the
evil of the comet," and
'Haleyscopes" which are
relatively inexpensive refracting
telescopes that are being
marketed as something that can
be used as an educational tool in
years to come. So the key to this
attack seems to be between those
who come up with the most
original ideas and those who have
the best-planned marketing
strategies.
However, it even seems that
companies having absolutely
nothing to do with the comet are
going to be cashing in on its
appearance, also. In a New York
Times article dated November
21, 1984, a science writer in
Millville, New Jersey is in-
troducing a plan called 'Dark
Skies for Comet Halley' to avoid
excess light from washing out the
spectacle of the comet. The idea
is to get people in small and
middle-sized cities to turn off
advertising signs and other non-
essential lights after midnight.
According to Mr. Caleb, even a
plan like this could be profitable
for businesses. "These com-
panies might want to tie in
something to coincide with the
comet even though they don't
have any products directly
related to it — something to the
effect of 'this is Halley's comet
night, so we will be turning off
our lights so that you can see it
better and before that time we're
going to have a special,' " he
said. For that manner, it would
be almost like any other special
sale kind of situation — like
Washington's birthday or
Halloween. Everyone is going to
have an opportunity to cash in on
it. In fact, business is going so
well that even certain cruise lines
will have to find extra ships or
book more cruises because the
response to 'comet cruises' has
become so great.
So what kind of effect will
something like this have on the
merchants or even the citizens of
Farmville? Again, Mr. Caleb
elaborates: "I'm sure that there
will be some impact," he said,
"but I don't forsee anything out of
the ordinary. Most of the
businesses in Farmville are very
traditional — they don't really
make an effort to capitahze on
things like this — even to the
extent of Oktoberfest. That has
always been an occasion that
brings a lot of people in here so
you should have sales, specials,
and different things happening. I
don't see anything too different in
this situation. That," he finishes,
"might be an area that someone
might like to look into."
"As for myself," said Caleb,
"maybe I'm too low key — but I
don't get too hyped up on this
stuff. Yes, it is interesting, but I
don't think that I would
necessarily go out of my way for
anything like a cruise. First of
all, I couldn't afford it and if I
could, I'd want to take it for a
different reason."
The common observer who is
trapped between the two ex-
tremes of science and sales can
also ponder one additional
thought. Comets, in general, have
always been considered bad
omens. This is one reason that
modem astronomers discount the
notion that the Star of Bethlehem
was a comet — the Star was
supposed to herald the birth of a
king and not the death of one, as
was thought in those days. As Mr.
Curley points out, "The three who
followed the star were wise men
and they knew their astrology,"
he said. "It would be illogical for
them to pick a comet to depict the
birth of a king."
Following a quick history of
Halley's comet — which, in-
cidentally is pronounced iden-
tically to alley or Sally — could
definately give someone the
impression that it does symbolize
something very ominous: It was
in the sky when Jerusalem fell; it
was in the sky when Attila the
Hun was invading Italy; it was
there when Norman the
Conqueror invaded England in
the Battle of Hastings; it was
above when Napoleon was
marching in and out of Russia; it
passed by in 1664 and in the
following year, bubonic plague
wiped out a fifth of London's
population; Queen Elizabeth of
England was warned not to look
at it — all though she really had
nothing to worry about — she was
not a king. "The Norman
Conquest is a story in itself," said
Mr. Curley. "Here was William
the Conqueror in his ships off the
coast of England ready to invade,
and there's Halley's comet in the
sky. 'Good grief, he thought,
'that means the death of a king —
and I'm a king!' He had a good
wizard though because the
wizard explained to him, 'You
are fighting another king — the
comet means his death' and that
seemed to convince William.
And," he ends with a laugh, "it
was the other king who died af-
terall . . . and it was probably the
wizard who killed him!"
Throughout history, man has
always looked for convenient
ways to blame quirks of nature to
cover up his own stupidity so why
shouldn't a comet be subjected to
the same abuse? "I think that
any year you can find disasters,"
said Curley, "so to attribute the
fact to comets is ridiculous. Take
for instance Mark Twain. He
came in with Halley's comet and
predicted that he would go out
with it — and sure enough he did
it."
So what does that mean? "I
don't know," said Curley. "You'll
have to ask Samuel Clemens ..."

Female Teachers Let Men Dominate Parking
Class Rooms, Too
By JIM SCHWARTZ
CAMBRIDGE, MASS (CPS) -
Male students tend to dominate
classroom conversations even
when the instructor is female, a
new Harvard study says.
Previously, much education
research blamed women's
classroom reticence on
discomfort with having male
professors.
The report is the second in as
many weeks indicating colleges
aren't always as hospitable to
women as they are to men.
Two weeks ago Congress'
Office of Technology Assessment
found college teachers often steer
women away from high-paying
science and engineering careers
with subtly-discouraging
classroom behavior.
In the new Harvard study,
Education Prof. Catherine
Krupnick videotaped Harvard
courses taught by 24 different
instructors,, and then calculated
how often — and how long — male
and female students participated
in classroom discussions.
Krupnick, who conducts
workshops on other campuses,
says men dominate classroom
discussions at colleges around
the country.
While Krupnick notes men's
and women's grades and aptitude
test scores are about the same,
she says male dominance in the
classroom is important because -
"liberal arts schools are set up to
imply participation is
important."
She adds the same problems
show up later in the workplace.
Krupnick began studying
classroom speaking habits to
help her figure out why women
who do as well as men in college
don't seem to be keeping up in
their careers ten years after
graduation.
Studies show that marriage
and childbearing are not the
main obstacles to career success,
she adds.
Women's career problems,
Krupnick now believes, are at
least partially related to both
their restraint in participating in
the classroom and instructors'
acceptance of what they have to
say.
"In the real world, the ability to
express ideas forcefully is
important. It's highly correlated
with how you do in your career,"
Krupnick asserts.
"It confirms our findings,"
says Bemice Sandler of the
Project on the Education and
Status of Women.
Sandler and colleague Roberta
Hall have released numerous
sunmnary studies documenting
differences in the way men and
women go to — and are treated in
-college.
Female instructors themselves
often were raised in homes that
considered men's views as more
valuable, Sandler observes.
Their upbringing, she says,
may explain why women
teachers might allow men to
dominate class discussions.
"Many of the different
expectations for men and women
are carried over from the larger
social situation into the college
classroom," Hall says.
In another study. University of
California researchers Candice
West and Donald Zimmerman
found men interrupt classroom
conversations three times more
often than women. Also, women
wait twice as long to interrupt.
However, they also found that
women are just as likely as men
to gain the floor when they do
interrupt.
Previous research also
indicated women's classroom
language is not as "assertive" as
men's. But Krupnick's study
differed.
Krupnick compares female
students' classroom problems to
the plight of immigrants being
introduced into the public school
system in New York City around
the turn of the century. "They did
not speak up as much in class
because of language barriers."
Women, she says, are
unfamiliar with the type of
assertiveness associated with
success.
"College experience can
reinforce old expectations, or can
help women to overcome them,"
Hall says.
Solution
By MARIA GINDER
In reference to my article in
issue eleven, I have been in-
formed of the solution to my
parking problem. Once again the
Campus Police came through.
If you cannot find a place to
park, drive your car to the
Campus Police Station. In this
office there is a phone that will
directly contact the officer
driving around at the time. He
will come to the Campus Police
Station, drive in front of or behind
you in your search for a parking
place, then take you and whoever
or whatever you have with you to
your respective dorm.
Maybe you could even talk the
officer into making sure you don't
get a ticket the following morning
if you happen to have to park
illegally, but in any case, at least
you will get to your dorm safely.

YUPPIES ARE A MEDIA
INVENTION: According to
Business Week magazine, only 5
percent of urban residents
between the ages of 25 and 39
make more than $30,000. Nearly
50 percent have incomes below
$20,000.
THE MOST EDUCATED
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD i.s how
a recent Census Bureau study
described Americans. In 1980-81,
32 percent of U.S. citizens 25 or
older had at least some college
education, compared with 17
percent of East Germans, 17
percent of Canadians, 16 percent
of Swedes, 15 percent of Japanese
and 7 percent of Hungarians.
A GENERATION TO WATCH :
Most young women between the
ages of 13 and 15 are "healthy,
happy and well-adjusted,
whether they are black, brown or
white, middle or working class,
from intact or single- parent
families," according to a study
by the U. of California-Berkeley
School of Social Welfare.
CIA RECRUITING EFFORTS
at Arizona State U. prompted two
students to pass out flyers urging
students to ignore the recruiters.
"We're not a student group," said
one. "We're just ... a couple of
pissed-off students who got
together to alert other students
about the kind of atrocities the
CIA has committed."
COLLEGE DEGREES ARE
WORTH MORE to male students
now than at any time since the
1960s, according to a new Census
Bureau study. Male college
graduates can expect to earn 39
percent more than men who quit
school after high school.
HEALTH CENTER FEES are
about to go up, and services to be
cut back, on campuses around
the country, according to the
American College Health
Association. Increasingly large
court awards in malpractice suits
are driving insurance rates up,
and causing some companies to
refuse coverage.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED: In
1940, 38 percent of Americans at
least 29 years old had a high
school diploma, and 6 percent
had a college degree. Today, 86
percent have a high school
diploma and 22 percent a college
degree.
"I DON'T RENT TO BLACK

Nader Back In Limelight
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) -
It was 20 years ago last week that
Ralph Nader published his first
book, and embarked upon a
period in which he was very
much a national campus hero.
His public challenges of
corporate behavior — his first
book, "Unsafe At Any Speed,"
ultimately forced General Motors
to take its Corvair model car off
the market — GM's retaliatory
spying, and his apparently
seamless personal integrity
made Nader into a potent symbol
at the time.
Indeed, through the seventies
Nader was able to summon an
army of collegiate activists to
Public Interest Research Group
(PIRG) chapters, which he
founded. His supports billed him
as the nation's most popular
college lecturer, a claim many
professional booking agencies
confirmed.
But the 20th anniversary of
Unsafe," which prompted a
belt law that has saved as many
as 150.000 lives to date, finds
Ralph Nader a somewhat out-of-
step figure on campus.
These days, an authority no
less than the Carnegie
Foundation calls college students
"self-obsessed" and ma-
terialistic.
Business classes, of course,
typically are the most popular
offerings on many campuses.
PIRGs are under continuous -
and at times successful — attack
from both conservative groups
and a widespread campus
apathy.
But Nader maintains interest
in him and his causes has not
waned.
"There is a lot of enthusiasm. A
lot of students turn out," Nader
says of his most recent lecture
tour of the nation's campuses.
The 52-year-old advocate also
sees a lot of political concern
among students during his tours.
'There are more mechanisms
for the activist today," Nader
contends, giving not a little credit
to his own PIRGs.
Nader also credits the South
Africa issue for contributing to
increased student political
consciousness about some issues,
specifically international affairs
and world hunger.
Yet Nader is aware of many
students' careerist bent these
days.
"The computer has attracted
people to business courses. You
don't see other views (on some
campuses)," he says.
So 20 years later, Nader has
returned to his original theme of
corporate sin and corporate
responsibility.
"All you have to do is read the
Wall Street Journal to find out
there is a corporate crime wave
across the nation," says Nader,
who thinks as many as two-thirds
of the Fortune 500 companies
have been convicted of some kind
of illegal behavior.
Too few prosecutorial
resources are used to fight
corporate crime, Nader
contends. "Lots of resources are
devoted to crime in the street
instead of in the suite."
The social implications of the
'corporate crime wave" — a
deterioration of the morals of the
leadership class — are awesome,
Nader asserts. "Society is like a
fish. It rots from the head down."
He says his PIRGs help fight
rot, and argues the PIRGs
remain healthy despite some
funding losses and a serious court
setback earlier this year.
Professors, for example,
recently have been more willing
to give students credit for their
PIRG activities, Nader says,
which he says teach students
about civic affairs.
Despite some trouble getting
PIRGs started in a few states,
such as Georgia, and a
membership decline in some
areas, overall participation is at
"an all time high," Nader says.
The most important assault on
the ways PIRGs are funded was
led by the Mid-Atlantic Legal
Foundation in Philadelphia, a
group of lawyers funded by
prominent industrialists such as
Joseph Coors to pursue certain
conservative interests.
In September, the Third U.S.
Circuit Court ruled the
mandatory refundable system of
devoting student fees to the PIRG
at Rutgers University was
illegal.
•The court found that PIRG
was fundamentally a political
group and educational activities
were incidental to that purpose,"
says Mid-Atlantic lawyer Joseph
Marshall.
The appeals court ruled the
PIRG had much educational
value, but that the funding
system infringes on the First
Amendment rights of students
who disagree with its stand on
various issues.
"As a practical matter, if you
are going to be a member, you
have to buy the party line,"
Marshall says.
Nader, however, contends the
only legal decisions against
PIRG funding have come at
Rutgers and the State University
System of New York (SUNY),
and that those decisions could be
overturned.
Leave
a clean trail.

years of college can still enter the
Advanced Course. The Army
ROTC Basic Camp held each
summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky,
prepares students for the last two
years of the ROTC
commissioning program.
During the summer of 1985,
there were 3,245 students who
attended one of the six cycles of
Basic Camp. Each student was a
US citizen who was medically
and academically qualified. Most
were sophomores in college.
Also, high school graduates who
plan to attend a military junior
college in the fall are required to
attend Basic Camp in order to
complete the ROTC program in
two years,
ine six-week course is tough,
demanding, and challenging. It is
also realistic. Students learn to
read military maps, how to use a
compass, how to fire the M-60
machine gun, tactical
maneuvering, and they gain
experience in expert
marksmanship with an M16
rifle, and drill and ceremony.
During the Basic Camp training,
students learn leadership skills
by actually leading other
attendees.
Students are paid more than
$600 for attending Basic Camp.

How to live
with someone
who's living
with cancer.
Learning to live with
cancer is no easy task. Learning
to live with someone else's
cancer can be even more
difficult.
Nobody knows better than
we do how much help and
understanding is needed. That's
why our service and
rehabilitation programs
emphasize the whole family, not
just the cancer patient.
We run local programs with
volunteers who are recovered
cancer patients, or whose lives
have been touched by family
members or friends with cancer.
That's what makes us one of the
largest, best-motivated and most
caring of any health organization
in the countrx'.
Among our regular services
we prcn'ide information and
guidance to patients and families,
transport patients to and from
treatment, supply home care
items and assist patients in their
return to ever\'day life.
Life is what concerns us.
The life of cancer patients. The
lives of their families. So you
can see we are even more than
the research organization we are
.so well known to be.

Tough Breaks
for Wrestlers
ByTONYBRZEZICKI
The start of the second half of
the 1985-86 Longwood wrestling
season began on a sluggish note
Friday and Saturday at the
Central Virginia Open Tour-
nament on the campus of Liberty
University.
Despite numerous tough losses,
there were bright spots for the
Lancers over the weekend.
Sophomore Pete Whitman went 3-
2 at 150 pounds to lead Longwood.
He won by scores of 3-2 and 7-6,
picked up a default and dropped
decisions to grapplers from
William & Mary (13-9) and
Liberty (10-5).
The Lancers, 3-2 in dual
matches, visit Newport News
Apprentice Tuesday evening for
a 5:00 bout and travel back to
Lynchburg Saturday to take on
the Flames and George
Washington.
Longwood's top wrestler John
Stukes, who had a good shot at
qualifying for NCAA Division II
Nationals, has been declared
academically ineligible for
second semester action. Stukes
had a sparkling 14-1 record at 134
pounds first semester.
The sophomore competed
unattached at Liberty over the
weekend and went 3-1 to finish
second at 134 pounds in the in-
dividual tournament. He lost in
the championship match 10-8
after leading 8-3.
"Losing John is a tough blow to
our team," said coach Steve
Nelson. "He did an outstanding
job for us in the first half of the
season. It's too bad he won't have
the opportunity to pursue his
second straight trip to nationals.
We hope he can come back strong
next season."

Player of
the Week
Junior Melanie Lee turned in a
consistent three-game stretch of
scoring and rebounding for
Longwood's women's basketball
team last week, and for her ef-
forts, Lee has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period January 12-
19. Player of the Week is chosen
by the Longwood Sports Infor-
mation Office.
Lee scored 44 points and
grabbed 36 rebounds in three
games as the Lady Lancers won
one of the three last week. The 5-
11 center hit 20 of 42 field goal
attempts and averaged 14.6
points and 12 rebounds per game.
"Melanie has done a good job
for us with her scoring and
rebounding," said Lady Lancer
coach Shirley Duncan. "She has
played well for the most part, and
we're looking for her to continue
improving."
Lee had 12 points and 15
rebounds in Saturday's 91-73 loss
at Maryland Baltimore County.
She had 18 points and 11 rebounds
in a 53-45 loss to William & Mary '
Thursday and 14 points and 10
rebounds in a 78-70 victory over
Randolph-Macon Tuesday.
For the season she is averaging
14.1 points and 7.7 rebounds while
hitting 51.7 per cent of her shots
from the floor.
Last season she averaged 7.8
points and 6.8 rebounds, hitting
48.8 per cent of her shots from the
floor.
A graduate of Indian River
High School in Chesapeake,
Virginia, Melanie is majoring in
social work at Longwood.

"Come on down . . ."to
Longwood's first annual
Therapeutic Recreation
Showcase on Tuesday, January
28, from 9:304.00 p.m. in the
Lankford Student Union. Next
Tuesday, over twenty
Therapeutic Recreation
professionals are coming to
Longwood to share information
and experiences about the
profession with Longwood
College students and prospective
majors. They will be displaying
information about their facilities
and be available to talk to anyone
interested in this field. The dif-
ferent facilities represented will
include community hospitals,
mental retardation facilities,
psychiatric hospitals, nursing
care centers, community
recreation centers, and
rehabilitation centers. Interview
opportunities will be available in
the afternoon. (Contact Box 1158
or Dr. Hupp in ths HPER
department). Certain guests will
be involved in two separate panel
discussions, each on an issue of
current interest in the field of
Therapeutic Recreation. One
discussion will be held in the
morning, the other in the af-
ternoon.
Therapeutic Recreation is a
process of helping others
maintain or improve their
mental, physical, emotional and-
or social functioning. Treatment,
leisure education, and
recreational opportunities are
provided to assist individuals to
experience independent
lifestyles. Longwood has a
national reputation for one of the
finest curriculums in
Therapeutic Recreation in the
United States. It was the first
curriculum in the nation with a
specific singular degree in
Therapeutic Recreation to be
accredited by the National
Recreation and Park
Association-American Associ-
ation for Leisure and Recreation
Joint Council on Accreditation.
The large response to the in-
vitations to our showcase show
that professionals in this field
highly regard our program and
its students.

Recreation is all about? This
showcase can be yours, if you'll

Lancer
Basketball
Senior forward Lionell Ogburn
turned in the top performance of
his career Saturday night,
scoring 22 points to lead
Longwood to a resounding 89-68
basketball triumph over visiting
Maryland Baltimore County in a
Mason-Dixon Conference contest.
Lancer coach Cal Luther is
hoping for more such heroics this
week as the conference race
heats up. Longwood(l-l, 5-10)
hosts Liberty University
Wednesday night at 7:30 and
visits Pittsburgh-Johnstown
Saturday at 2:00 in a full week of
Mason-Dixon Conference action.
With an exceptionally tough
pre-conference schedule behind
them, the Lancers have hopes of
making some noise in the MDAC.
A 60-56 setback at Randolph-
Macon Wednesday put those
plans on hold, but Longwood was
back in top form Saturday night
when the Retrievers came to call.
Ogburn lit a fire under
Longwood in lx)th halves before a
Longwood Basketball Alumni
Day crowd in Lancer Hall. He
came off the bench in the first
half to score six points as the
I^ancers forged a 40-27 halftime
edge. His return in the second
half ignited another rally which
put the Retrievers (Ml, 0-2)
away for good.
A 6-3 forward who has spent
considerable time on the bench
this season, Ogburn bagged eight
of nine field goal attemps and six
of nine free throws to get his 22
points. The Wheaton High School
graduate seemed to be in the
right place at the right time as he
scored layup after layup off the
I«incer fast break. He came into
the contest scoring 3.7 points per
game.
Ogburn had given an indication
of things to come at Macon
Wednesday night when he scored
six points off the bench. His play
last week serves notice that
Longwood reserves are capable
of being a factor in the weeks
ahead.
Senior co-captains Kenneth
Fields and Lonnie Lewis also
played well as did junior guard
Kevin Ricks. Fields had 17 points
and six rebounds, Lewis 13
points, four assists and four
steals and Ricks added 12 points,
four assists and three steals.
With the victory Ix)ngwood
ended a four-game losing streak.
The Lancers shot 59 per cent and
delighted the home crowd with a
fast-breaking offense.
Heading into this week's action
Lewis (18.9 ppg.), Fields (18.7
ppg.) and center Quintin
Kearney (11.4 ppg.), rank as the
top Longwood point producers.
Fields has hit double figures in
each of the Lancers' 15 games.

Shirley Duncan's squad visits
Liberty University Tuesday night
for a 7:30 contest and will take
part in the eight-team Foxy Lady
Tournament Thursday through
Saturday at Francis Mar'Oii

visiting William & Mary 53-45
Thursday and dropped a 91-73
decision to Mason-Dixon Con-

trailed by just six points at 39-33
in the second half until the
Retrievers went on a 19^ tear to
go up 58-37 with 14:02 left in the
game.
"We had a number of turnovers
in that stretch," said Longwood
coach Shirley Duncan. "We had
played pretty well up until then "
Guard Caren Forbes scored 21
points and handed off a season-
high nine assists for Longwood,
and center Melanie Lee added 12
points and 15 rebounds. The Lady
Lancers were unable to get the
kind 0* balanced scoring they
exliibited in last week's win over
R-MC.
Lee had 18 points and 11
rebounds in Thursday's game
with William & Man'. The Lady
Lancers led 25-23 at the half, but

win and two losses in meets at
Maryland Baltimore County and
Navy over the weekend.
In their initial action since the
Christmas break, the lancers
fell for the first time ever to
UMBC 153.70 to 149.75 Friday
night. George Washington took
first in a three-team meet at
Navy Saturday night with GW
scoring 150.3, lx)ngwood 147.2 and
Navy 143.7.

all-around performer in both
meets. Against UMBC, she was
the all-around meet winner with a
score 31.75. She earned a first in
floor with an 8.3 and a second in
beam with an 8.25. Lisa Zuraw
was second in vaulting with an
8.65 and Keri Hruby was fourth in
vaulting with an 8.50.
At Navy Saturday, Chenoweth
was third all-sround with a
30.55. Sophomore I.«slie Jaffee
won a first in vaulting with an 8.5
and was third in bars with a 7.3.
"We were leading the meet at
Navy through the first three
events, but we lost it on beam,"
said a disappointed Longwood
coach Ruth Budd.
Now 2-3 for the season, the
Lancers visit William & Mary
Friday night for a meet which
begins at 7:00. In December The
Tribe defeated Longwood 162.05

Amy Ethridge soon will make

The senior will become
apparently the first Longwood
student to student-teach outside

Ethridge will do her student-

She will student-teach at the
Seoul International School, a
private, English-speaking school
with students from more than 35
countries, said Dr. Robert
Gibbons, director of student
teaching. The school, which has
600 to 800 students in grades K-12,
is owned and operated by
Edward B. Adams, a cousin of
Dr. James Adams, Longwood's
vice president for academic
affairs. It was founded in 1973 and
is accredited, which is required
for state teaching certification.
"Quite a few" of the students
are American, but there are no
Koreans — they are prohibited by
law from attending the school,
Dr. Adams said. Many of the
students are children of embassy
personnel and industrialists, he
said. Nearly all go on to college;
many attend Ivy League schools.
Longwood President Janet D.
Greenwood visited the school
during a college presidents' trip
to the Orient last October that
was sponsored by the American
Association of State Colleges and
Universities.
Ethridge, 21, will fly to Seoul
February 2 from National
Airport outside Washington. She
will teach for the required 10
weeks. She will teach high school
English, which is what she plans
to teach after graduating in May.
During her stay, she will hve
with a Korean family in Seoul in
exchange for tutoring their
children in English one hour a
day. "I'll be riding a school bus or
van to school every day with my
students, so it'll be like being in
the first grade again," said
Ethridge.
Seoul, with eight million
people, is one of the world's
largest and fastest growing
cities. It will host the 1988
Summer Olympics. It is a
surprisingly clean city and crime
is not a problem, said Dr. Adams,
who was bom in Seoul.
Ethridge is undaunted by the
prospect of teaching in a foreign
country. "I love traveling," she
said. "The only place I've ever
been outside the United States is
Nassau. But I've traveled a lot
inside the country . . .I'm sure it
will be fun and will be a good
experience."
"It all started when I saw a
notice on the bulletin board that
said, 'If you want to student-
teach in Asia, come see me,' "
she recalled. "I thought it was a
joke, but I decided to ask about it
anyway."
Gibbons confirmed that she
probably is the first Longwood
student to student-teach in a
foreign country. "I've been here
17 years, and as far as I know, she
is the first to even student-teach
outside the state of Virginia," he
said.
Because she will be overseas,
Ethridge will be excused from
attending her second set of
"modules," a three-week
program of mini-courses for
prospective teachers. "But I'll
still have to do the work. I'll be
taking my books with me." She'll
return in time for
Commencement on May 17,
Ethridge, a graduate of
Caroline County High School, is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Dwight Hicks, of Bowling Green.
She is a member of the longwood
Ambassadors, a student public-
relations group, and Alpha Delta
Pi sorority.
Longwood hopes to continue to
place student-teachers in foreign
countries. "We already have a lot
of interest in next year's senior
class for student-teaching
abroad," said Gibbons.
SGA
The New Student Government Association
is trying to put together a proposal for a
more workable visitation policy. This pro-
posal will be presented to the Board of
Visitors during their next meeting. Twenty-
three and one-half hour visitation will be
discussed.
Bring your support and ideas to the Virginia
Room at 12:15 on Thursday, January 30.

"I was trying to go back to sleep after deciding to blow off P.T.
(Physical Training)...! heard this loud explosion. It sounded like a
shotgun in the stairwell, that's how loud it was. Then the familiar
fire alarm."
That was how a R.O.T.C. candidate described the early stages of
the Curry fire on Thursday morning. Apparently some loser woke
up early or stayed up late in order to toss some type of
fireworks down the trash chute. The garbage at the bottom of the
chute then caught on fire. The smoke rose and escaped through
broken doors that will not close.
I will not waste ink raging on the lunatic who caused this fire.
This homicidal human facsimile is a rare example of what happens
when beastiality and exotic drug-use are combined without con-
traception. This person has obviously slipped through the near-
flawless Longwood admissions system which has even the highest-
ranked high school prospectives biting their nails. A shoe-in for the
Quadaffi Scholarship, this hiney-wipe is destined to go down in the
anals of mass murder history when he-she discovers a more ef-
fective way to incinerate hundreds of people.
This fire has brought my attention back to yesteryear, when I
had the opportunity to enjoy the fire drills, broken elevators and
charming R.E.C.S. that make the high-rise high-life so very special.
I remembered how those trash chutes are on weekends and went
over to Frazier to relive those sweet memories.
First we should review basic trash-chute operation (I used to be
head-guy-in-charge of one of these babies before I decided to get
educated).
There is a little closet type room on every floor with a hatch in it.
You put the trash in the hatch and it falls down the chute, a light
sensor in a big compactor tells the machine to compact all the trash
into big squares. When the square gets to a certain size, the machine
turns itself off. Then your head-guy-in-charge of the trash pushes the
big square away so the machine can make a new one. But if he is
asleep or talking to some chick, the garbage builds up in the chute.
Then the head-guy-in-charge must climb up in the chute and pull all
the trash out. This teaches the head-guy-in-charge to either: A) stop
talking to chicks or B) go get educated.
The point is, however, at Longwood the head-guy-in-charge of
the trash chute isn't talking to chicks or getting educated, he just
isn't paid to move the big squares on weekends.
Every weekend the story is the same. Trash builds up higher
and higher in the chute, sometimes the chute is backed up all the
way to the 4th or 5th floor. This gets very nasty, considering some of
the things that Longwoodians throw away.
On second floor Frazier, the hatch has broken off, so the trash
fills the room. Inevitably, some jerk will come along and open the
door and the crap flies out like it was Fred Flintstone's closet. Only
it's not bowling balls and golf clubs, it's a slimy grungy mess only
comparable to the green stuff from the bed scene in 'The Exorcist".
Or that stuff that came from the basement in "The Amityville
Horror", only not as thick.
If somebody dropped fireworks in the trash chute on a weekend,
Farmville would witness its first nuclear-type mushroom cloud.
This sanitational travesty is a health hazard, and a fire hazard,
plus it is gross. Having the head-guy-in-charge push the squares
away on weekends would be ten times cheaper than having a whole
crew clean the mess on Monday.
One end of Longwood runs around trying to catch and crucify the
students who ignite, while the other end stacks the wood in perfect
piles to be burned.

To The Editor:
In the January 21st Rotunda,
James Caleb is quoted as saying
that people who view the return
of Halley's Comet as a
marketing opportunity have
some definite reasons: they are
"trying to make a name for
themselves . . . (or to) use that
for a stepping stone for other
products . . . But, I think that
most of them are just in for a fast
buck. I don't believe people when
they tell me that they are not in it
for the money or they aren't in it
for something. They must have
some goal in mind or else they
wouldn't be doing it in the first
place."
I do not know if Mr. Caleb was
quoted correctly or if, after some
reflection, he would continue to
maintain this view. However, I do
know that the view attributed to
him rests on a confusion and is
false.
The confusion is between the
goal of an action and the person
who has that goal. The fact that
my actions are mine does not
mean or imply that the goal of
my actions is me. It is true that a
person involved in marketing a
product or any other action, if
their action is not random,
unmotivated behavior, must
have some goal or purpose in
mind. It is false that a person's
purpose must always be to make
money or otherwise advance
their own self-interest.
For example, someone might
admit that smoking is a harmful
addiction which does not advance
her self-interest, and yet continue
to smoke. That such a person
may admit this, and yet continue
to smoke, does not show that her
self-interest was really, at the
moment of lighting up, to have a
smoke. It shows instead that
there is also a difference between
immediate pleasure-seeking and
long term self-interst.
The point that not all human
actions are self-interested can be
made, and has just been made,
without any appeal to examples
of altruistic or self-sacrificing
actions. There is nothing
sentimental, soft-headed, or
unrealistic in denying the view
attributed to Mr. Caleb, known to
philosophers as "psychological
egoism." Psychological egoism
was first refuted by Joseph
Butler in the 18th century, and
today is accepted by abnost
nobody who has considered the
matter carefully, whatever its
apparent popularity in marketing
circles may be.

Nostalgia:
Since the beginning...l920-1986
The following is the fourth in the series of articles extracted from
Rotunda issues during the past sixty-five years of publication.
State Board Names
College Longwood
Beginning with the 1949
summer session, this college will
be known as Longwood College,
according to the decision of the
State Board of Education at its
regular monthly meeting last
Friday. This action of the Board
marks the fourth time within the
past 65 years that the name has
been changed.
President Dabney S. Lancaster
first proposed that the name be
changed during the January
meeting of the Board. That body
agreed to take action on his
request in its March meeting and
designated its entire membership
as a committee to decide upon a
new appellation. In making its
decision, it was guided by the
suggestions and opinions of the
students, faculty members,
alumnae, and friends of the
College. The actual change was
Wednesday, March 30, 1949
made under authority granted to
the Board by the General
Assembly in 1938 when it passed
an act permitting the colleges at
Harrisonburg and
Fredericksburg to change their
names. This act stated that the
Board could change the name of
the college at Farmville at a later
date in the event that the change
was requested.
Although "Longwood College"
was the favorite choice of what
President Lancaster terms a
"tremendous majority" of the
students, alunmae, and faculty
members, there was not
complete agreement among the
Board members as to the new
name. Their final decision was
influenced by the fact that the
Longwood estate is an integral
part of the campus and that it is
one of the better-known Southside
homes of historic importance. It
is the site of the birthplace of
General Joseph E. Johnston of
the Confederate army, being
originally a colonial grant to the
Johnston family from the British
crown. Later the property passed
into the hands of the Venable
family. The present home was
the birthplace of Colonel Charles
Venable, a member of General E.
Lee's staff and for twenty years
chairman of the University of
Virginia faculty, a position
equivalent to the present-day
presidency of the University.
Commenting on the change,
President Lancaster said: "I
believe that under the new name
the college will go forward to new
heights, new attainments, and
will serve the State in an ever
increasing fashion."
Editor Pushed Out For
^Vulgar' Article
NEW YORK, NY (CPS) -
Pace University officials last
week appointed a campus paper
editor to replace the one they
recently pushed out of office for
publishing a "vulgar" article
about AIDS in November.
Former editor Brian Sookram
resigned shortly after
controversy arose over
publication of the article, the
second in a series about acquired
immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS), the illness which the
Centers for Disease Control
s| eculates will afflict at least one
person on every college campus
by the end of the school year.
The article referred to anal
intercourse — which many
doctors believe is responsible for
helping spread the disease — in
common "street language,"
administrators charged.
In response, a faculty
committee voted to hold a
"hearing" into Sookram's
behavior and to freeze the budget
of The Pace Press until a
replacement was found.
The administration also seized
3,000 copies of the paper before
they could be distributed.
"It was not meant to be
vulgar," Sookram says. "It was
appropriate for the purpose of the
series because of the nature of
the disease. That sort of language
can relate to most people."
By freezing the paper's funds,
the faculty council effectively
stopped The Pace Press from
publishing for weeks because
there was no money with which to
operate, a newspaper staffer
says.
Sookram resigned before the
hearing took place. "I decided to
resign to get the paper running
again rather than prolong it to the
9th ( of December) , the date of the
hearing," Sookram says.
Some other journalists see the
affair as a censorship case.
"I think it's outrageous," says
Paul Ryan, student paper editor
at the Face sister campus in
Pleasantville, N.Y. The faculty
council "set a very dangerous
precedent."
Pace officials did not reply to
College Press Service's requests
for an interview.
Sookram certainly is not the
first student editor to ruffle the
feathers of faculty and
administrators.
In November, members of the
Wayne State University
Publications Board fired the
editor of The South End in
response to an editorial
explaining the editor's decision
not to accept military advertising
in the paper.
Administrators subsequently
reinstated the editor's First
Amendment rights.
In 1983, administrators at
Howard University in
Washington, D.C., expelled the
student editor of the school paper
for her coverage of alleged sex
discrimination at the university.
A district judge in Washington,
D.C., however, ordered the editor
re-enrolled within a month of her
expulsion.
In recent years, administrators

editors at Calvin College and
California Polytechnic State
University, among other schools.
The most notorious incident
was at Baylor in 1982, when
students editorialized against
administrators' threats to expel
students who apperared
unclothed in an upcoming
Playboy magazine feature.
In response, Baylor officials
cancelled three editors'
scholarships.
The lone Baylor woman
ultimately appeared in Playboy
subsequently was awarded her
diploma quietly during a summer
session.
General campus reaction to the
current conflict at Pace has been
minimal.
Sookram says he's gotten
support on "a personal level,"
but that students "have not acted
to fight the administration."
Still, he believes the assertion
of faculty control over content
will intimidate his successors and
keep the paper focused on bland,
inconsequential issues.
"When it (the paper) starts up
again, what kind of paper will it
be?" Sookram asks.

IN AN UNPRECEDENTED
CRACKDOWN on underage
drinkers, a Lawrence, Kan., bar
owner sued a U. of Kansas
student who entered his private
club with false identification. The
small claims court awarded the
bar owner $500 in damages — the
amount he was fined by the
Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control
Board for violating the age
requirement.
A $3 MILLION LAWSUIT has
been filed by a Saint Mary's
College nursing student against
the U. of Notre Dame. The
student was raped last May on
the road between the college and
university. The suit charges that
Notre Dame did not provide
adequate security.
EXPELLED FOR BEING TOO
FAT, a former Salve Regina
College nursing student is suing
the school for $2 million. In
August, administrators sent her a
letter saying she could not return
for her final year of the nursing
program because she had failed
to live up to her promise to lose
two pounds per week. The student
had maintained a grade-point-
average of 3.6.
"INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR" is whM West
Virginia U. labeled the incident
that led a 17-year-old freshman to
charge five of the school's
basketball players with sexual
assault. Critics, calling for a
formal investigation by the
Board of Regents and the state
legislature, say the school erred
in treating the charges as an
internal disciplinary matter, and
that sexual assault "is
automatically a criminal charge
that belongs in a court system."
The university refuses to reveal
the names of the students
disciplined or the sanctions
imposed.
SUBCOMMITTEE
APPROVES TYING STUDENT
AID TO GRADES: The Sentate
Subconrunittee on Education has
approved a measure to require
juniors and seniors to maintain a
"C" average to get federal
student aid.
The measure is part of the
Senate version of the Higher
Education Act of 1985, which
probably won't reach full Senate
debate until February.
MUSIC MAJORS THINK
MUSIC MORE EXCITING
THAN SEX: Music majors
ranked music, a good movie,
natural beauty, art, physical
contact with other people, and
opera as more thrilling than sex,
according to a Stanford U. study
published in the December issue
of Psychology Today magazine.
BOSTON U. DISPLAYS
MARTIN LUTHER KING'S
TRANSCRIPTS: BU archivists
said they recently found the
grade transcripts for King, who
got a philosophy doctorate from
BU in 1955, while they were
transferring past records to
microfilm.
King, it turns out, never got
less than a B.
BU will display the transcripts
at its library in honor of the new
federal holiday celebrating the
slain civil rights leader.
SURVEY: MOST FACULTY
WOULD ADVISE STUDENTS
AGAINST TEACHING: Forty-
five percent of the nation's
college teachers think this is a
bad time to start an academic
career, a national survey by the
Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching has
found.
And, in a separate survey by
the Educational Testing Service,
51 percent of the teachers from
kindergarten through college
would "hesitate" before advising
a student to choose a teaching
career.
About a quarter of the nation's
teachers, moreover, are "very"
or "fairly" likely to leave the
teaching profession by 1990, a poll
released by Metropolitan Life
Insurance over the holidays said.
Most teachers — at all levels —
say they are disheartened by low-
salaries, shoddy academic
standards, badly-prepared
students and limited chances for
career advancement.
CITY COLLEGE OF NEW
YORK PUTS A THIRD OF ITS
STUDENTS ON ACADEMIC
PROBATION: Dean Alan Fiellin
says the mass disciplining is part
of CCNY's effort to raise its
academic standards.
MOST U. MICHIGAN
STUDENTS HAVEN'T HEARD
OF APARTHEID: A recent
campus poll in Ann Arbor found
51 percent of the students
responding hadn't even heard of
the South African government's
segregationist laws.
SAN DIEGO STATE VETOES
BANS ON CAMPUS SMOKING,
CYCUNG, SKATEBOARDING:
SDSU President Thomas Day
vetoed a University Senate
measure that would have banned
smoking on most part of campus,
reasoning prohibiting smoking in
private offices was "too
intrusive.'
Day also vetoed senate
measures restricting bicycles to -
roadways and completely
banning skateboarding on
campus, citing technical
problems with the proposals.
MANY AG GRADS ARE
AVOIDING WORKING ON
FARMS: Only about five percent
of the students who graduated
from U. West Virginia's College
of Agriculture from 1975 to 1984
took jobs on farms. Prof. K. D.
Mcintosh of WVU's recruiting
committee reports.
Mcintosh wouldn't blame the
farm economy depression for the
students' career choices, saying
instead the choice of non-farm
work was a tribute to how
broadly the university prepares
its students for all kinds of jobs.
OKLAHOMA STATE
STUDENTS WANT
CLASSROOM CAMERA
REMOVED: Student are
complaining that tough new anti-
cheating measures — including
video taping in lecture rooms and
having to state their names in
front of the camera before
dropping off their tests — invade
their privacy and hurt their
grades because they increase test
anxiety.
INSURANCE COMPANIES
DROP NORTHWESTERN'S
FRATS AND SORORITIES:
NU's risk manager could not find
any firms willing to sell liability
insurance to the greek houses,
citing big insurance claims
involving greeks at Texas and the
U. of Denver.
NCAA MAKES DRUG
TESTING MANDATORY FOR
SOME ATHLETES: At its annual
convention in New Orleans, the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association voted to require all
athletes in the NCAA's 78
championship events to be tested
for drugs, starting August 1.
U. Michigan Athletic Director
Don Canham says the vote
effectively means all schools will
test all athletes to avoid being
"embarrassed" if and when they
get to championships.
WOMEN DROP SCIENCE
BECAUSE OF MARRIAGE
CONCERNS, RADCLIFFE
STUDY FINDS: Female students
tend not to consider science and
engineering careers because they
believe they're not compatible
with marriage and family life, a
study by Radcliffe College and
the Educational Testing Service
has found.
The results were "surprising
and not a little confusing," says
Radcliffe's Norma Ware.
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
Students in Bologna, Italy put
Sylvester Stallone's Rambo
character on mock trial,
sentencing him to sensitivity
training with Mother Teresa.

Wrestling
stung by three loses in dual
match competition last week,
Longw cod's wrestling team is
preparing for a dual meet with
Ferrum Tuesday night at home
and the third Tiger-Lancer Duals
Friday and Saturday at
Hampden-Sydney.
Coach Steve Nelson's team will
seek to end a four-match losing
streak when Ferrum visits
Tuesday for a 7:00 bout. In
addition to Longwood and
Hampden-Sydney, Virginia Tech,
Virginia Military, Pembroke
State, Gallaudet, Newport News
Apprentice and Ferrum will take
part in the Tiger-Lancer Duals.
The Lancers have finished
second in the team competition
the past two years.
To have a shot at making it to
the finals this season longwood
will have to beat Newport News
in the first round. The
Shipbuilders pinned a 33-28 defeat
on Longwood last Tuesday as
Pete Whitman, 142-pounds, Billy
Howard, 177-pounds, and Jesus
Strauss, heavyweight, got wins
for the Lancers.
Longwood and Newport News
will square-off in first round
action Friday. Rounds will begin
at 6:00, 7:30 and 9:00 Friday
night. The competition will
resume at 9:30 Saturday morning
and the finals are tentatively
scheduled for 2:00 Saturday
afternoon.
Last Saturday the Lancers ran
into some rugged competition at
Liberty University, falling to the
Flames 51-3 and to Division I
George Washington 52-3.
Longwood's record dropped to 3-5
with the defeats. Howard won a 5-
2 decision at 167 pounds against
Liberty and Whitman won by a 6-
3 count at 177 against George
Washington to account for the
Lancer point totals.
Longwood soccer Ail-American
Mark McArdle has joined the
wrestling team and plans to
compete at 118 pounds in matches
this week. McArdle wrestled for
three years in high school, but
will be seeing his first college
level action.
Gymnasts Fall
iiie Longwood gymnastics
team received its top score of the
year, but fell short of William &
Mary, losing 173.0-164.5 Friday
night at Williamsburg. The loss
dropped the Lancers to 2-4.
One highlight for Longwood
was Lisa Zuraw's record
breaking 9.05 in vaulting. The
score topped Longwood's
previous high (Sharon Pillow,
9.0) and placed her second in the
meet.

Men's B-Ball Wins Two,
FARMVILLE, VA. - A pair of
two-point wins over Mason-Dixon
foes Liberty and Pittsburgh-
Johnstown last week have pushed
Longwood's men's basketball
team into a tie for second place in
the Mason-Dixon Conference.
This week the Lancers will find
out how they stack up with league
leader Mount St. Mary's, the
third-ranked team in NCAA
Division IL
The Mount, 14-2 after a win
over Division I Loyola Saturday
night, was ranked third in last
week's Division II poll. The
ranking came out before The
Mount's 69-49 pasting of
Randolph-Macon Wednesday
night. Fourth in last year's
Division II Tournament, Coach
Jim Phelan's team is 2-0 in the
Mason-Dixon and on top of the
league standings.
A last second shot by Kenneth
Fields enabled Longwood to edge
Pittsburgh-Johnstown 74-72
Saturday. With their third
straight win, the Lancers, 3-1 in
the MDAC and 7-10 overall, are
tied with Randolph-Macon for
second place in the conference
standings.
Only once before has a team
more highly ranked than Mount
St. Mary's journeyed to lancer
Hall. In 1982-83 then number-one-
ranked District of Columbia
escaped with a 65-64 victory.
Longwood hosts Winthrop, which
beat the Lancers 80-68 earlier this
month, Monday night before
taking on The Mount.
baseline and it went through the
goal as time expired.
After numerous narrow misses
over the past two seasons,
Longwood got the ball to bounce
its way Saturday and the result
was a 74-72 win at Pittsburgh-
Johnstown. Coming on the heels
of a 54-52 win over Liberty
Wednesday night, the victory at
UPJ gave the Lancers some
badly needed momentum.
"We played super to come from
behind and beat them, but we
almost let the game get away
from us," said Longwood coach
Cal Luther. "We fell behind 9-2
early and trailed 43-39 at the half.
Then in the second half we played
super defensively and went
ahead."
KENNETH FIELDS
Fields' Shot Propels Victory
With the clock ticking toward
the end of Saturday's game in
Johnstown, Pennsylvania and the
score tied 72-72, Lancer Lonnie
Lewis retrieved the ball from
backcourt and put up a
desperation shot from outside the
circle. The ball bounced high off
the rim and ended up in the hands
of senior co-captain Kenneth
Fields. Fields put up a shot from
about 10-feet away on the

Longwood actually led 72-64
with 4:58 to go, but didn't score
again until Fields came through
at the buzzer. The Lancers had
three turnovers, a missed free
throw and a missed layup during
the last five minutes, according
to Luther.
"It took some luck for us to win
at the end, but that shouldn't
detract from how well we played
earlier," said the coach.
Lewis led the victory with 22
points, 15 coming in the first half.
The senior co-captain hit two of
four three-pointers and 9-13 from
the floor. He stretched his
consecutive free throw string to
18 in a row with a 2-2 showing at
the charity stripe. In addition to
hitting the winning basket. Fields
scored 10 of his 13 points in the
second half and grabbed six
rebounds. He has hit double
figures in all 17 of Longwood's
games this season.
Center Quintin Kearney had 16
points and a game-high nine
rebounds, but perhaps the
biggest story of the game was
senior Lionell Ogburn. In his first
start of the year, Ogburn scored
19 points on 8-11 shooting from the
floor and grabbed five rebounds.
"Lionell did a good job for us,"
said Luther. "He has been
working and hustling in practice
and we decided he deserved a
shot at starting. He really got
down the floor and finished off the
break several times."
Ogburn had a career-high 22
points in Longwood's 89-68 win
over UMBC January 18.
Looming on the horizon is a
game in Lancer Hall Wednesday,

Senior Lisa Zuraw broke the
existing Longwood vaulting
record with a 9.05 score in a
gymnastics meet at William &

performance, Zuraw has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
January 19-26. Player of the
Week is chosen by the Longwood
Sports Information Office.
Zuraw's 9.05 beat the 9.0 mark
which former Lancer standout
Sharon Pillow recorded in 1980
and helped Longwood run up a
164.5, the third highest team
score in Longwood history.
Zuraw also holds the Longwood
record for floor exercise, a 9.4
which she was awarded last year.
"I'm excited for Lisa that she
got her best score on vaulting in
her senior year," said coach Ruth
Budd. "She's a good vaulter. She
comes off the horse well and gets
good height. She did a hand-
spring with a full twist on the
record-breaking vault. Her 9.05 is
not far from the maximum for
i that vault, a 9.4."
^ The record-setting per-
formance landed Zuraw a second
place finish in vaulting Friday

LSD On Campus
By REX MAZDA
Curry residents Alfred Gary
and Joseph Parker were arrested
on Wednesday of last week on
drug charges. Joe Parker was the
Residence Assistant for the
eighth floor.
The Virginia State Police have
said that during an undercover
investigation, Gary sold LSD to a
trooper on two occasions, one
time in Cumberland County and
another in Farmville.
Police officials contacted
would not say whether the in-
vestigation was conducted on the
Longwood Campus. Vice
President for Student Affairs,
Phyllis Mable, said that the
administration knew nothing
about the investigation until the
arrest was made.
Parker, a chemistry and
physics major from Asbury
Park, New Jersey, was charged
with one count of conspiracy to
distribute LSD. Parker ap-
parently has been released; "I do
not know if he is attending
classes," Mable said.
Gary, a government major
from the Bronx, was charged
with two counts of distribution of
LSD.
Acid, a powerful hallucinogen
and a favorite of the more hard-
core drug users, has seen its
popularity among students drop
since the 1970's due to a fear of
dangerous side-effects.

Lancers Leap Into First Place
Following Longwood's 74-69
overtime win over third ranked
Mount St. Mary's Friday night, a
Lancer fan called radio station
WFLO in Farmville and
requested DJ Tom Jenkins to
play "I'm So Excited" by the
Pointer Sisters.
"I want to hear that song
because I'm so excited about
Longwood's basketball game
tonight," the caller told Jenkins.
It was an EXCmNG night for
the Lancers and the thousand or
so fans who were on hand.
Lancer Hall was jumping like
never before after Frank Ten-
nyson canned a 3-point shot at the
buzzer to bring on overtime. And
when the dust had settled and the
victory was in hand, the Lancer
cagers were engulfed by their
fans and fellow students.
The victory over a team ranked
third in the nation was a BIG one.
"Without question it's one of
our best wins," said Longwood
coach Cal luther. "The last time
a team that highly ranked played
here was when UDC beat us 65-64
in 1982. It was all the more
satisfying because it came
against a league team and it
gives us a shot at the Mason-
Dixon championship."
With its fifth straight win,
Longwood is now 9-10 overall
and 4-1 in the MDAC. The Lan-
HAPPINESSIS
cers are in first place in the
league.
Senior forward Kenneth Fields
had the top game of his career
with 29 points and seven
rebounds. The 6-2 co-captain was
guarded for much of the night by
The Mount's 6-10 center Mike
Grimes. Fields was 11-17 from
the floor and 7-9 from the line
before fouling out with four
minutes to go in regulation.
"I told everybody I saw before
the game that they could count on
us winning," said the confident
Fields. "I was feeling pretty good
tonight."
Tennyson got the idea for his
heroics Wednesday night on
television when he saw Ken-
tucky's Roger Harden drive down
court and hit a long shot at the
buzzer to beat LSU 54-52.
"I saw this guy do the same
thing on TV Wednesday night,"
said Tennyson. "I heard I^onnie
(senior Lonnie Lewis, LC's top
outside threat) asking for the
ball, but he was on the other side
of the court and there was three
defenders between us. So, I just
put it up."
Tennyson had six points, four
assists and no turnovers in 19
minutes of action Friday night.
Lewis had a phenomenal
shooting night from long range,

Rotunda
Needs Staff
After an ad and one hundred ninety-nine copies
of a letter aslcing the faculty to help The Rotunda
recruit staff, our meeting last week resulted in two
new staff members. OH BOY !
I sure hope they use big words and repeat
themselves 'cause two more just don't cut it when
we want to average 13 pages per week.
Let's try a new approach . . . The Rotunda
needs staff, but you don't want to do it, it takes
around 90 hours per week, even to be a peon. It's no
fun, often painful and sometimes even causes
illness, festering blisters or double amputations.
You get no recognition, 'cause nobody reads
the rag. You can't put it on your resume or make
your relatives proud.
Even if you wanted to join the staff, you
couldn't 'cause we're prejudice against everybody,
just about. You are probably grossly underskilled
as well, too.
The dictionary in the office weighs about sixty
pounds and you probably couldn't lift it.
I would highly recommend just sitting on your
butt like the veggie you are, because if you did join
the staff and wrote just one story, you'd smell bad
for a week. Nobody knows why but everytime a
story is written you kinda stink for about seven
days — no more, no less. That's how we know when
anoth^r*stj>r£ls4u^,^li^p yj^u st$lFt. sm^lii^ good ^
again.
Even after all this, if you still want to join our
pitiful group, just come by The Rotunda office in
Lankford, left of the Post Office. Thursday night at
8:00, we'll all be there, probably in a big fight or
something. Or contact Smelly Loser, Box 1133, 392-

Rough Week For Campus Cops
To The Editor:
I found out today that the
Campus Police are not just a
bunch of ticket-giving bums; the
boys in blue are also in charge of
breaking up football games.
This Friday, Sigma Phi Epsilon
and Delta Sigma Phi played a
football game on Barlow Field.
There were around one-hundred
students watching the game.
With fifteen minutes left in the
match, a meter-maid Campus
Police officer walked on the field
and tried taking the ball away.
The officer was invited to play
running back for a while, but
refused.
The game moved over to Her
Field. Surely we would have been
booted off that field too if the cop
had time to get permission from
whoever.
Sure the fields were wet and got
torn up a bit, but Field Hockey
season is over, and you could
spread grass seed over the entire
campus with comprehensive fees
from just one student.
We pay out the nose for the
existence of these fields. Why
cant' we use them?
Longwood loves to tell us not to
drink so much and when the two
best partying fraternities decide
to do something whol6soml&, the
Campus Dicks usher them off the
field. Are you trying to tell us
something? Would you prefer us
to have wild alcohol — and drug-
induced orgies with little or no
clothes on?
Name withheld to avoid tickets
To the Editor:
The other night, a situation
arose that I would like to bring
out in the open. It has come to my
attention that the campus police
will not go off campus to pick up
Longwood students who need
escorts back to their dorms. This
might not sound so ridiculous
until you consider that we live
right across the street from the
campus.
I realize that we were being
lazy by not walking these people
back ourselves, as we were still
entertaining no other guests at
the time. But it also seems silly
that we had to promise the
campus cops that we would walk
the ten feet that separated us
from school boundaries and wait
for them there, especially since
these same people have been
.seen giving on-campus students
rides to the hospital (which is
understandable) and to the drug
store and other places in town
{ which is not).
I know that I am an off-campus
student, but I still pay my
comprehensive fees just like on-
campus students. Suppose
somebody tells me what those
fees are going towards.

Not A Pretty Sight Letter
Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1986 The Rotunda Page 3
How would you like to wake up
every morning to the beautiful
sight depicted in the picture?
Not a pretty sight, is it?
None-the-less it is a common
sight for the South Cunningham
residents Teri Acors, Stacy
Hicks, Julie Anne Powell and
Denise Rast — and it could start
to be a problem for other
residents, as well.
"The whole ordeal started back
in October," recalls Hicks,
"when the ceiling started to leak.
At the time, we had to take our
showers with the lights out
because the water was coming
through the light fixture and we
were all afraid of getting elec-
trocuted!"

"The basic problem," said
Weibl, "is that the entire
bathroom system in the Cun-
ninghams needs to be replaced.
We have a proposal into the state
for a funding project that would
rebuild those bathrooms — all of
them. South Cunningham has
deteriorated to the point where
there's nothing we can do short of
ripping those showers out and
rebuilding them."
In the meantime, the housing
office is checking into a tem-

believe that these people may not
be inconsiderate, rather

stream of cold, rusty water
dripping on you," stated Powell.
"It's not a very pleasant ex-
perience."
When a work order was issued
to solve the issue, a crew
discovered that the problem was
water dripping through a crack in
the shower on the second floor of
South and tore a hole in the
ceiling on first floor. "We thought
that the problem would be solved
over Thanksgiving break," said
Rast, "and that when we got back
we'd have a new shower.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen
and now we have to live with that
iron work hanging down in
there."

solution also has its drawbacks.
"In order to get that liner on,"
said Weibl, "you've got to get the
walls and floors of the showers so
clean that it adds additional costs
to the project. You have to strip
the soap scum off because the
liner will not twnd to soap scum
— and that's not the kind of thing
you could do during occupation.
That means the only time that we
could do it would be during the
summer. Even then, everything
we know tells us that that would
be a temporary measure — it
might last a year."

How to live
with someone
Ti^iio's living
with cancer.
Learning to live with
cancer is no easy task. Learning
to live with someone else's
cancer can be even more
difficult.
Nobody knows better than
we do how much help and
understanding is needed. That's
why our service and
rehabilitation programs
emphasize the whole family, not
just the cancer patient.
We run local programs with
volunteers who arc recovered
cancer patients, or whose lives
have been touched by family
members or friends with cancer.
That's what makes us one of the
largest, best-motivated and most
caring of any health organi2ation
in the country.
Among our regular services
we provide information and
guidance to patients and families,
transport patients to and from
treatment, supply home care
items and assist patients in their
return to everyday life.
Life is what concerns us.
The life of cancer patients. The
lives of their families. So you
can see we are even more than
the research organization we are
so well known to be.
No one faces
cancer alone.

Faculty From Finland
Under an exchange program,
Dr. Nelson Neal, assistant
professor of physical education,
has gone to teach at the
University of Jyvaskyia in
Finland. Risto Nieminen and his
wife, Pirkko, both members of
Jyvaskyla's faculty, have come
to Longwood for the spring
semester.
The Neals and the Nieminens
are occupying each other's house
and using their host's
automobile.
Risto, nicknamed "Hoope" is
teaching volleyball and orien-
teering, a popular Scandinavian
iqwrt in which competitors use a
map and compass to find
geographic points and complete a
course. Pirkko, who is called
"Pipsa," teaches dance. Both are
members of the university's
faculty of Physical and Health
Education, one of five "faculties"
(academic departments). Roope
has been FaciUty Secretary — an
administrative position — since
1974.
Roope, 42, and Pipsa, 39,
brought along their two young
sons and Roope's 25-year-old
niece, Maaria, from Helsinki.
They arrived in the United States
in early January and lived in
Longwood's- Alumni House Aintil
the Neals left for Finland Jafi. 22.
The couple has enjoyed the
friendliness of Americans and the
warm weather. "People here are
so friendly and nice," said Roope.
"In general, people are more
polite than in Finland, at least the
ones I've met."
Pipsa said she likes the "small
talk" at stores between capers
and customers. In Finland, she
said, such c(Miversation is rare,
and Finns seldom exchange
greetings whoi passing strangers
on the street.
When they left Finland, it was
minus 15 Celsius, or 5 degrees
Fahrenheit, so the we^ither has
seemed eq)edaUy warm to them.
Pipsa.' " Evoi Roope, an
administrator, is called by his
first name by Jyvaskyia
students.
Before coming here, they had
been worried about crime in the
U.S. "Some pec^le told us about
all the kidnappings in America,"
Pipsa said. "But it's much safer
than we expected. And people are
so nice."
"And there may be one meter
(slightly more than 3 feet) of
snow on the ground at home,"
said Roope. "So, we don't miss
the weather."
They have been siirprised by
the formality with which
American students address
them; Finnish students call their
professors by their first name. "I
was shocked when the students
first called me 'Professor
Nieminen.' I said 'Please, call me

They also were surprised by
the size of their host community.
"We thought that Farmville
would be smaller than it is," said
Roope. "Ilkka (Keskinen) had
said that it is a small village? lS\£
it is not so small."
Keskinen, a swimming in-
structor from Jyvaskyia, was the
first faculty member involved in
the program. Erkki Tervo
(gymnastics) taught at
Longwood last year, and Dr. Ossi
Ahvenaninen (special education)
is teaching at Longwood for the
entire 1985-86 year.
Dr. Neal, a dance instructor, is
the sijrth Longwood professor to
teach in Finland. Three others —
Dr. Nancy Andrews, Ruth Budd
and Dr. Bette Harris — also have
been from the Health, Physical
Education and Recreation
department, and two — Dr.
Nancy Vick and Phyllis Wacker
— have been from the Education
and Psychology department. Dr.
Neal is accompanied by his wife
and daughter.
The University of Jyvaskyia
has approximately 7,000
students. They pay only $55 a
year in tuition, but have to
finance their room and board
(many live off-campus), books,
and other living expenses, said
Roope. The city of Jyvaskyia,
located roughly in central
Finland, has 65,000 people.
Jyvaskyia is the only Finnish
university that offers degree
programs in health and physical
education. Only 40 to 50 of the
1,000 students who apply annually
to those programs are accepted,
Pipsa said. Applicants have to
take a battery of written and
skills tests.
Roope, a native of Jyvaskyia,
likes to cross-country ski and go
hiking in Lappland. "Cross-
country skiing is my favorite
hobby and my favorite class to
teach. Unfortunately, I can't
teach it over here," he said. He
also has taught track and field,
swinmiing, and stati^cs.
Pipsa, whose hometown is
Lanmii, a small village 105 miles
south of Jyvaskyia, is an avid
dancer. "I like all kinds of dance
— modern, jazz, folk, and
ballroom dancing." She will work
with Longwood's Dance Com-
pany.
They play to travel in the U.S.,
"as much as we have money to,"
said Pipsa. They want to visit
Roope's niece (a high school
exchange student) in Georgia, go
sightseeing in New York and
Washington, and go to Florida
over ^ring break. They will
return to Finland May 30, which
will give them four weeks to
travel after the end of classes.
So far, said Roope and Pipsa,
they haven't been homesick.
"Everybody said that we would
miss all the things from home,
like dark bread," Pipsa said.
"But we haven't missed anything
so far. We want to live over here

Continued
rest of the semester, regardless
of the fact that state money for
renovations may or may not
come in, since sunmier looks to
be the only time anything can be
done about this problem.
Even though Weibl is relatively
confident that the funding project
will go through the state, he still
is looking at trying to remedy the
problem showers as soon as
possible. "If we couldn't get the
money this year, then we would
go through with the temporary
measures. The money would
have to come out of operating
funds, which is the same money
that buys furniture."
As for offering a discount to the
people who have to put up with
this particular situation, Weibl is
pessimistic. "There is no vehicle
for that in the current way we do
business and I probably would be
reluctant to propose such a thing.
The way the student room
agreement reads, we've provided
the basics and will continue to do
so because it is an inconvenience.
As soon as I have some sense,
which I anticipate should be very
shortly, about the temporary fix
for some of the problem
locations, I will be responding to
particular rooms and suites like
this one and say, "if this makes
you MQComfortable, let me know
and I'll move you," and I will
relocate them. It might ncA
necessarily be in South Cun-
ningham, but I would offer them
housing in other locations before
I would give them a discount. I
can do that."

If you mentioned the
Marketing Intern Program to
someone, you'd probably get a
quizzical look. That is partly due
to the fact that it isn't listed on
any master schedule and partly
because not just anyone can take
it — it is a specialized "course"
for selected students.
The program, which was
started by Mr. Burt Brooks who
teaches marketing here at
Longwood, was first
implemented last semester in an
internship for two marketing
students, Sherri Clemmons,
President of the Longwood
Chapter of the American
Marketing Association and
Sherry Massey, Vice President of
the Longwood A.M. A.
"This program started because
several departments around
campus had contacted me to do
research for them," said Brooks.
"I really didn't have a formal
way of doing the research, other
than the marketing research
class, and since a large class is
not conducive to a project like
this, I decided to start the
internship with one or two people
along with myself."
"I think the program is good,"
continues Brooks, "because it
gives the students an opportunity
to get hands on experience and it
gives them a chance to work with
the administration and other
departments. They have to
coordinate the whole thing with
the people that initiate the
project. They have to do the
research. They have to formally
present the project at the end. I
think that kind of experience is
invaluable."
So what about the program,
itself?
A report, entitled "Student and
Faculty Awareness of and
Attendance at Longwood Atheltic
Events" shows the
results and recommendations of
the information compiled by
Clemmons and Massey. The
initial objectives of the project
were to determine the level of
awareness among students and
faculty at Longwood about
athletic events, and to determine
the effectiveness of
i-ivu '♦VU oj lat;;- ^ *••
communication between sports
information sources and the
students and faculty. The
primary goal was to discover
whether increased awareness of
athletic events would increase
attendance.
In order to determine these
objectives, 75 faculty surveys and
125 student surveys were
randomly distributed throughout
the Longwood population. The
Freshmen class was purposely
avoided in these surveys due to
the fact that they had not had the
opportunity to attend events at
the time the research was being
done. The findings are as follows:
A. A major contributing factor
to lack of attendance at sports
events is lack of awareness.
1. Student surveys showed.
69.5 percent are unaware of times
and dates of games.
2. Faculty surveys found that
25 percent of the professors think
that they and the students are
less than somewhat aware of
times and dates of events and 52.3
percent are only somewhat
aware.

B. Although Longwood has
been characterized as a "siiit
case college", the surveys found
that actually 88.5 percent of the
students remain on campus 1 to 4
weekends a month, 51.6 percent
of these staying 3 to 4 weekends.
C. In communicating
information to students and
faculty, the following methods
have been found to be most
effective:
1. Word-of-mouth (77.9
percent by friends).
2. Rotunda (76.8 percent
regularly read).
3. S-UN calendar (70.0
percent having poster).
4. Message board (63.2
percent regularly read).
5. Campus Bulletin (58.9
percent regularly read).
In other words, the report
found that the students are here
— many just don't know about the
games — some students do not
even realize that admission is
free to atheltic events! With so
many sporting events going on,
how can students say there is
nothing to do?
Several recommendations
have been made to the Athletic
Department, J?ut ^ as* to' whether
any of those recommendations
have been taken into account
remains to be seen. One visible
acknowledgement of this project
is the blue sports schedule
posters that are very similar to
the S-UN calendar of events
schedules that can be found
throughout the campus. Other
various sources of media to at-
tract attention, put posters up
attract attention, put posters up
in classrooms, have players
announce games in their classes,
have players preview the games
on WUTA, have pep rallies, and
sponsored rivalries between
various campus organizations
such as sororities and
fraternities.
Mr. Brooks hopes to continue
offering programs like this in the
future — first, because it is a
good experience for the student
involved and, second, it helps
Longwood College as a whole. In
fact, you may be asked to fill out
a survey sooner than you think,
considering that another
marketing internship project has
already been started for the
spring semester. It's your
campus people — get out there
and get involved with it.

Drugs Make Comeback
By SUSAN SKORUPA
LOS ANGELES. CAUF. (CPS)
— A new recreational drug seems
to be appearing on college
campuses, researchers say.
Use of "magic" mushroonas —
natural hallucinogenics with
effects similar to but milder than
LSD — is rising on West Coast,
New York City and even on
British campuses, say
researchers at UCLA and Cal
State-Northridge.
But national drug surveys are
missing what could be the
beginning of a trend by asking the
wrong questions and misin-
terpreting data, the researchers
add.
The study, prepared by UCLA
student John Thompson, Cal
State ethnobotanist William
Emboden and UCLA psy-
chologists M. Douglas Anglin
and Dennis Fisher, says nearly 15
percent of 1,507 students sur-
veyed at UCLA and Cal State-
Northridge admitted to using
mushrooms at least once.
A state Substance Abuse
Services study showed New York
City high school students who had
tried hallucinogenics, including
mushrooms, increased from six
percent in 1978 to 10 percent in
1983.
"Our survey proved two
things," Fisher notes. "First,
mushrooms are the major
hallucinogenic being used in our
sample, not LSD. And second,
national drug surveys are asking
questions in the wrong way and
misreporting the data."
When mushroom users are
asked if they have used LSD or
anything similar, "yes"
respondents are labeled LSD
users in other surveys, he says.
Those who don't consider
mushrooms similar to LSD an-
swer "no" and are recorded as
non-users.
"Either way, the answers are
misreported," Fisher says.
Most studies, he claims, show
hallucinogenics use is stable, but
don't show use variations for
different kinds of hallucinogens.
The California study, which
asked specific questions about
mushrooms, LSD and other
hallucinogenics, shows most
users have tried mushrooms, but
few have taken just LSD, he
claims.
It's not the first inkling that
hallucinogens are coming back.
In 1983, Drug Enforcement
Administration spokesman
Franz Hirzy said falling prices
were increasing LSD's
popularity.
A recent Arizona State study
found LSD use had risen at four
or five campuses surveyed:
North Carolina, Arizona State,
SUNY and Penn.
But the National Institute of
Drug Abuse (NIDA) is skeptical.
"I haven't heard about in-
creased mushroom use at least
on this side of the country," says
NIDA Washington, D.C.
spokeswoman Dorin Czechowitz.
"And I can't say (the California)
study is supported by any data in
our surveys."
But, so far, mushroom use
seems to be confined to small
areas on both coasts, Anglin says.
"The mushroom center seems
to be established in Washington
state," Fisher agrees. "The
Pacific Northwest has an ideal
wet, humid climate for growth.
It's quite likely they grow well
there."
The new interest in mushrooms
could be cyclical, researcher
Anglin explains.
"Don't ask me why, but about
every 20 years is a cycle for
drugs," he says. "It's like we had
nostalgia for the '50s and now the
'60s. People who didn't live
through those times find them
interesting."
Anglin blames "media hype"
for generating interest in various
drugs, and predicts the extent of
mushroom use "depends on the
media attention."
"These things have a kind of
word-of-mouth attribution that
makes them attractive to people
who use them," he says.
"Usually the experimentors are
bright, alert people."
While it's illegal to possess or
use mushrooms, the non-
hallucinogenic reproductive
spores are legal.
If mushrooms' availability en-
hances their popularity, "it
will be interesting to see how fast
the trend moves," Anglin says.
But mushrooms probably wont
affect use of other drugs like
marijuana, cocaine and alcohol,
he says. "Coke is in for the rest of
the decade."

ville Female Academy. Built by
Joint Stock Company, 1839" the
comer stone was placed on a
building that stood where the
Rotunda building stands now.
When the building was torn down
the plate was lost until 1897. It is
now in the Lancaster Library and
a model of the plate is on the front
of the Rotunda building.
Dr. Thackston was Farmville's
first mayor in 1872. As mayor,
Dr. Thackston and the Rev.
James Nelson, the pastor of the
Baptist Church, led a movement
in 1884 to have a teacher training
institution supported by the state
located in Farmville.
On March 7, 1884, the Virginia
General Assembly passed a law
establishing a "normal school
expressly for the training and
education of white female
teachers for public schools" at
Farmville, on the condition that
the town would convey to the
state the property known as the
Farmville Female College. The
legislative appropriated $5,000 to
establish and continue the school
and $10,000 annually toward the
operating expenses and salaries
of the staff.
The board of trustees consisted
of such trustees as Ruffner and
Curry. Dr. Curry was chosen
president of the board and Dr.
Ruffner was chosen first
president of Virginia's first
normal school.
What seemed at most to be an
organized pile of bricks turned
out to be a part of the foundation
of Longwood College. Dr.
Thackston died in 1899 at the age
of 79. The Thackston dwelling
was torn down in about 1922 to
yield way to the new student
building to be named French.
Special thanks to Dr. Jordan
who saw that wall as more than
just bricks. Also thanks to all
those who helped Dr. Jordan do
his research.
"In the very act of rushing on to
the future we are reminded in the
most physical way of our past. It
is one thing to read about the
past, but to touch the bricks
convinces us it really happened."

Intership ^Invaluable'
Ambassadors
Sherry Massey, a Soiior here
at Longwood who is studying
Business Administration with a
concentration in Marketing,
returned this week from a week
long internship with the Martin
Agency. Martin is an advertising
agency with branches in Virginia
Beach and Florida — the
headquarters being located in
Richmond.
Massey was first introduced to
the Martin Agency by toe Office
of Career Planning and
Placement last year when they
sponsored a field trip to Rich-
mond to tour the various
marketing agencies. "They had
applications for the internship at
the agency when we went for the
field trip," said Massey, "so I
just picked one up and filled it
out."
Unfortunately, she was turned
down because of the large
number of applicants that apply
ior the very few internship
openings. She did not reapply but
got a letter over Christmas break
stating that she was not accepted
and should report to work at 9:00
a.m. January 27. "I really didnt
want to miss that much school,"
interjected Massey, "but the
Agency said they preferred to get
students into the program before
they graduate."
Once getting permission from
the school and her
instructors to take time away
from school, Massey took off to
enter the boundaries of life after
college. "The first two days were
lectures by people from the
various different departments
involved in the agency," she said,
"one right after the other with a
one hour break for lunch in
between."
Day one included the Agency
tour and introduction and then
lecturers from the media
department, the account
management department, the
marketing research department,
the print production department
and the broadcast production
department. Day two took right
up with lectureres from the
traffic department, accounting
and data processing, sales by
design, creative copywriting and
public relations. "They told us
what the function of the depart-
ment was — at least as much as
they could in an hour — and we
could feel free to stop them at any
time to ask questions."
The last three days went into
something called concentrated
study where the interns pick one
of the eleven departments to
work strictly with. Massey chose
account management because
she would like to become an
account executive — the person
yrho is basically in charge and
responsible for the completion of
specific campaigns. "It was
overwhelming at times," ^le
said. "I've never been hit with
that much information in my life.
I think I learned more in the past
we^ than I have in four years of
college — it's just so much to
comprehend that you go home
and you're just exhausted."
"However," Massey finishes,
"everybody was just so nice and
they were always willing to take
time out any time to help you. I
thought it was an exceptional
program and an experience that
I'm not likely to forget for a long
time."

Sixty-five members of the
Longwood College Ambassadors
are providing the volunteer
person-power for the 1986
Channel 23, WCVE, Great TV
Auction "Farmville Night."
Every area business will be
visited by a volunteer Longwood
Ambassador. They will ask each
business to cwisider the value of
TV exposure and make a
donation of an item or service to
be auctioned during Farmville
Night.
Working as volunteer captains
are Don Lemish, Longwood's
vice president for Institutional
Advancement; Marci Weinberg,
manager of the Esther May Store
and Village Shop; and John Au-
stin, general manager of WPAK
radio. Kirk Vetter, a Longwood
senior, is the project chairman
for the Ambassadors.
"The Ambassadors" are re-
quired to do one community
service project each year and
this seemed to be a very
appropriate project for them,"
said Ambassador co-advisor
Barbara Stonikinis. "The
main function of the Am-
bassadors is to assist the
college with pubUc relations,
fund-raising, and recruitment. A
community service project fits
well into the prupose of the
organization."
Past community service
projects have included assisting
the Sheltered Workshop with its
fund-raising kick-off dinner and
providing the leadership for

work day for students, faculty
and staff.
Bob Jones, Channel 23 Auction
coordinator, gave the
Ambassadors a volunteer-
training workshop during the
group's Jan. 21 meeting. "In my
more than 20 years of working
with Channel 23's Great TV
Ambassadors," he said.
"Usually, it takes a great deal of
time to find and train sufficient
volunteers for our solicitation
calls."
Channel 23's Great TV Auction,
an annual event, will be held
from May 30 through June 7,
from 7 p.m. to sign-off (around
Auction, I have never before had midnight) each evening. The goal

Project Asset
Project Asset, in the opinions of
those who participated, was a
total success. Project Asset is a
special program in which
students interact with alumni.
The goal of the program is to
allow the student experience a
job which is related to his or her
field. Some students requested
specific alumni in which to work
with. The students who par-
ticipated learned what is in-
volved in a job in their particular
field of study. This way, they can
form an opinion, good or bad, of
the field they are interested in.
Project Asset was held in the last
couple of weeks of Christmas
break. The students may have
gone to the job from one to five
days.
Before entering the job field,
the students participated in a
session on "being a
professional." This session was
conducted by Ms. Niki Fallis. Ms.
Fallis gave tips on how to dress,
react with other employers and
the employer, how to respect
confidentiality, and other on-the-
job relations in general. The
students' majors include: Home
Economics, Psychology, English,
Business, Oiemistry and Medical
Technology.
^ Darcie Brackett, an English
major, participated in Project
Asset. For two days, January 6
and 7, Darcie visited Virginia
Power Company in Richmond.
Her duties included talking to
people in communications and
public affairs. This was to see if
she would be interested in this
line of work. Darcie states, "This
is a definitely positive thing to
shoot for. The experience would
be helpful to anyone who takes
part in it."
Another student. Deb Amos, a
junior business major, worked at
Dominion Banksharers' Cor-
poration in Roanoke. , Deb was
introduced to the company and
was under the guidance of Joe
Donnely, the vice president and
manager, who is known for
working with interns. She said of
her duties, "I got to use com-
puters and gained software
practice. I got to work with a
word processor and typed up my
resume." Deb will be taking her
Certified Public Accounting
exam and will be working in the
administrative part of ac-
counting. She states, "Project
Asset is something that I think
everyone should do so they can
learn and understand what they
will be doing in a job related to
their field."
Other students worked for such
companies as the School of Allied
Health in Norfolk, Whittaker
General Medical in Richmond,
Sovran Bank in Richmond and
even an Interior Decorator. The
program will continue next fall
and applications wiU be ac-
cepted. "Project Asset will defin-
itely help alumni and student
relations," states Ms. Fallis.

Wrestling
Lady's B-Ball
After snapping a four-game
losing streak with an impressive
win over Ferrum College, 45-18
last Tuesday, Longwood's
grapplers were stunned in the
third annual Tiger-Lancer Duals
with a sixth place finish and a 1-3
record for the tournament over
the weekend. Longwood is now 5-
8 overall.
Longwood's victory came in
their first match Friday against
Newport News Apprentice, 27-26,
on a pin by sophomore
heavyweight Jesus Strauss in the
final match. Despite the three
losses there were bright-spots in
the lineup. Picking up three wins
with only one loss were Pete
Whitman — 142, David Taylor —
190, and Strauss. Junior Billy
Howard — 167 and 177, chalked
up 3 wins with one tie.
"Howard had a great tour-
nament," said coach Steve
Nelson. "He just had a super
weekend." Howard now stands at
14-7-1 and Whitman at 23-9 for the
year.
This week Longwood plays at
Washington & Lee Wednesday
night and competes in the Old
Dominion Duals Saturday in
Norfolk.
In last Tuesday's match,
Longwood pulled a decisive win
over Ferrum to head into the
weekend tournament. Strauss
had an excellent match by
defeating the 1984 AAA
heavyweight state champion by a
score of 4-2. "Strauss wrestled a
very good match, probably his
best of the year," said Nelson.
Longwood's women's
basketball team will try to
bounce back on the road this
week with games at District of
Columbia Tuesday, at
Bridgewater Thursday and at
Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturdy.
The Lady Lancers return home to
play Liberty University Tuesday,
February 11.
Now 5-11 overall and 04 in the
Mason-Dixon Conference,
Longwood dropped a pair of
games on the road last week,
falling at St. Paul's 94-69 Monday
and at Mount St. Mary's 8842
Saturday afternoon.
Poor shooting doomed the Lady
Lancers in both defeats.
Longwood hit just 39 per cent of
its shots at St. Paul's as freshmen
Angee Middleton with 15 points
and Kita Chambers with 10 points
led the scoring. LC hit just 30.7
per cent of its shots Saturday in
Emmitsburg, Md., while
nationally ranked Mount St.
Mary's canned 47.8 per cent of its
shots.
Junior Melanie Lee had 21
points and 9 rebounds against the
Mount, the top team in the
Mason-Dixon Conference.
Lee leads the Lady Lancers in
scoring (13.9) and rebounding
(8.4) while Caren Forbes is
averaging 11.5 points and 5.1
assists per contest. Forward
Karen Boska is scoring at a 9.7
ppg. clip with 6.6 rebounds per
game.

felt her gymnasts did well,
considering that half the team
was suffering from the flu.
"We did much, much better on
beam than we have all year,"
said the coach. "It was a pretty
good meet for us."
Top performances were turned
in by junior Debbe Malin and
senior Lisa Zuraw. Malin was
third all-around with a 32.60 while
Zuraw and freshman Linda
Chenoweth tied for sixth all-
around with scores of 32.45. Malin
tied for third in vaulting with an
8.6, was second in bars with an 8.1

Zuraw was 4th in vaulting

with teammates Mary Schaefer

hitting five of nine shots from
beyond the 19-foot, 9-inch, 3-point
oval which is used for Mason-
Dixon games. He finished with 17
points and hit crucial shots near
the end of regluation and early in
overtime.
In what was without question a
"team win", there were many
contributors. Junior Kevin Ricks
had six points, 3 assists, 2 blocked
shots and 2 steals. Senior Lionell
Ogbum had 5 points and a career
high 7 assists.
Center Quintin Kearney had 7
points and 7 rebounds, including
a dunk at the Mount St. Mary's
end of the court near the start of
tbe game. Kearney, suffering
from a toothache, did not play as
well as hi had been playing of
late. Senior Dave Edwards came
off the bench to get 4 points and 5
rebounds in 14 minutes of action.
"It was a great team victory,"
said coach Luther. "Everybody
contributed. I couldn't ask for a
better effort than we had tonight.
Heading into the game I really
felt we could do it if we held down
our turnovers. The Mount gets a
lot of its offense from its defense
with steals leading to easy
baskets.
"We wanted to get the ball to
Kenny (Fields) down low and
have him kick it out to Lonnie if
things were jammed up inside.
That play worked for us in
several key situations. Lonnie
really delivered in the clutch."
Continuing a steady climb
toward a possible winning
season, Longwood's men's
basketball team upset third-
ranked Mount St. Mary's 74-69 in
overtime Friday night in Lancer
Hall.
With their fifth straight win,
the Lancers took over first place
in the Mason-Dixon Conference.
Now 9-10 overall and 4-1 in the
league, Longwood hosts Ran-
dolph-Macon Wednesday and
Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday
in a pair of MDAC games this
week.
Next week crucial road tests at
Liberty (Monday) and at
Maryland Baltimore County
(Saturday) will confront
Longwood.
In defeating the Mount Friday
night, Longwood served notice
that the dominance of Randolph-
Macon and The Mount in the
MDAC is in danger of coming to
an end. R-MC and MSM have
ended up 1-2 in the first two years
of the conference. The Lancers, 4-
10 just two weeks ago, now have a
shot at winning the MDAC
regular season crown.
Senior Kenneth Fields poured
in a career high 29 points and
grabbed seven rebounds before
fouling out with four minutes left
in regulation to pace the win.
Lonnie Lewis, a co-captain along
with Fields, canned five 3-point
field goals in nine attempts to
score 17 points.
A Lewis 3-pointer with 3:57 left
in overtime put Longwood up for
good 69-66.
The biggest shot of the night,
however, belonged to 5-8 senior
point guard Frank Tennyson.
With time running out and The
Mount ahead 66-63, Tennyson
drove down court, pulled up
outside the 3-point line and
launched a missle which sent
Lancer fans and players into
orbit when it swished through the
net as the buzzer sounded.
It almost seemed that
Longwood was destined to win
when Tennyson's shot hit the
mark.
Longwood ended Mt. St. Mary's
11-game winning streak while at
the same time unproving its own
homecourt mark in Lancer Hall
to 51-16 since the facility was
completed in 1980.
Picked to finish fifth in the six-
team league by the coaches,
Longwood has improved steadily
since an 0-4 start. The senior-
dominated ball club plays ex-
cellent defense and leads the
conference in field goal per-

(52.6) and free throw this season. It took some time for
the players to become a cohesive
unit.
"Our seniors, in particular
Lonnie Lewis, are probably

Asked how much his team has
improved since the season began,
Longwood coach Cal Luther
replied, "It seems like we've playing the best basketball of

There's no question we've im-
proved a great deal.
"Several factors have con-
tributed to this improvement. We
started the season with basically
club and we're able to do a lot of
things defensively. We threw six
different defenses against them
(The Mount) tonight. When we
made them play against our
two new players in the starting halfcourt defense we were suc-

just one semester last year and most part."

Fields Player Of Week
Senior men's basketball co-

Player of tbe Week and
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period January 26
through February 2 following his
outstanding performance in the
Lancers' 74-69 overtime triumph
over Mount St. Mary's Friday
night.
Fields scored a career high 29
points and pulled down 7
rebounds to lead Friday's upset
victory. A 6-2 forward, he had 41
points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocked
shots and 2 steals last week as
Longwood beat Winthrop 67-68
Monday and The Mount Friday to
maintain a 5-game win streak.
"Fields just played out of
sight," said Lancer coach Cal
Luther after Friday's victory.
"He really came through for us."
The Fairmont Heights High
School graduate scored 17 points
in the first half and 10 in the last
four minutes of the half when
Longwood erased a 30-23 deficit
to take a 35-34 lead. He fouled out
with four minutes remaining in
regulation. He was 11-17 from the
field and 7-9 from the line.
Longwood's top rebounder
(7.3) and second leading scorer
(18.3), Fields ranks among
Mason-Dixon Conference leaders
in scoring, rebounding, field goal

Number Fifteen
Clark Retires
By MEUSSA BETH CLARK
"When people think of the
Information Office at this in-
stitution they think of Sue Qark;
Sue, to most people, is an in-
stitution. We are going to miss
her as much as anyone could
possibly be missed at Longwood
College." Don Lemish, Vice-
President of Institutional
Advancement.
On January 31, 1986, after 20
years of faithful service in the
Information Office, Mrs. Sue
Clark retired from Longwood.
She began work in 1965 part-time
and by September of 1968 she was
a full-time employee. She has
worked with many people
through the years and has the
warmest regards for her co-
workers.
"All the people I have worked
with, there is just something
special about each Longwood
employee; the men and the
women in the physical plant, the
maids and janitors, the division
chairmen, the secretaries and
faculty. It has been such a joy
working with everyone.''
Sue was bom in Halifax County
and moved to Farmville in 1932.
Her mother, Elizabeth Carter,
was a graduate of the Longwood
class of 1898.
"My mother had the highest
respect and the greatest love for
the school. We were literally bom
with the same love. All my sisters
and my children attended
Longwood."

Ruth^s Radio
Scam
By BRUCE SOUZA
Many FM radio listeners of late
have been greeted by a
diminutive woman with a crusty
german accent. "Hallo Sexoolly
Speeking" the show opens. The
distinctive voice belongs to Dr.
Ruth Westheimer, better known
simply as Dr. Ruth. Her weekly
syndicated radio show has
become an open forum for sexial
problems. There are no holds
barred as listeners nationwide
call to discuss wide variety of
sexual dysfunctions, and other
sex related problems. Dr. Ruth is
a strong advocate of
contraception, masturbation, and
the use of fantasies. However,
she rarely has any useful advice
for anyone who is mildly
intelligent.
Westheimer's earthy approach
is attractive to many who are
surprised to find such a forum on
FM radio. It's only fair to
mention that radio shows similar
in nature which feature genuine
medical doctors have been airing
on AM radio for years. Why then
is Doctor Ruth so popular? One
reason may be the unique
character which eminates from
her tiny frame. Besides her books
she has a cable TV show and is
also regular on David
Letterman's Late Night TV show.
Letterman shrewdly uses
Westheimer to extract laughs
from his audience, and Dr. Ruth
willingly plays along with
Letterman's hijinks.
It's not that Dr. Ruth is a total
crackpot, although the image of a
sexually liberated little old lady
seems to please many. Not to
sound prudish, but I question how
one can solve a legitimate sexual
problem on radio, considering the
limited time allowed for each
call. Dr. Ruth is not a medical
doctor, and simply defers caller

Datona^ Lauderdale To
Moderate Spring Break
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (CPS)
— The capitals of spring break
hedonism — Daytona Beach and
Fort Lauderdale — are trying to
I change their images.
Both communities are
sponsoring organized activities
aimed at somehow moderating
student drinking during the
spring break invasions of March
and April.
"What has gone on before was
a Sodom and Gomorrah affair,"
says Jerry Nolan, spokesman for
Daytona's National Collegiate
Sports Festival, which is
supposed to draw students into
activities more constructive than
with those with Sodom,
Gomorrah, Daytona and Fort
Lauderdale generally are
associated.
"The festival demonstrates we
are getting away from the
j tarnished image of the past," he
I says.
Daytona and the other vacation
spots in Florida don't have much
of a choice.
This is the first spring break
during which the state's new 21-
year-old minimum drinking age
law is in effect, and rising
insurance costs are forcing
communities to find ways to
minimize the wild partying that
has led to injuries and even
deaths in the past.
Fort I^uderdale, for one, is
sponsoring an "Olympics"
featuring volleyball, a tug-of-war
and various dance and trivia
contests.
City officials actively are
discouraging excessive drinking,
and have banned alcohol
consumption on the strip along
the beach.
Daytona Beach hopes to attract
up to 20,000 students to its first
National Collegiate Sports
Festival.
The festival, scheduled for
March 8 through April 6, will
feature about 20 different sports
ranging from rugby to golf.
Four national corporations —
including Walt Disney — and
about 30 Daytona businesses are
supporting the events.
Nolan hopes the festival also
will encourage more

On Visitation
The improving Student Government Association, through the
last actions of ex-President Garth Wentzel and the first actions of
new executive John Colangelo, is submitting a plan to the Board of
(it's a nice place to...) Visitors; the proposal is shaping up to look
like an extension of the current visitation hours to 8 a.m. to 6 a.m.
This means that one student may visit the room of another student
at any time during the 22 hour per day period. This short period of
non-visitation is established to insure that students may not simply
move in to another's room.
Regardless of the length of restriction time (some schools have
instituted twenty -three and one-half hour visitation), a new
visitation policy is a good move for Longwood College.
While he was S.G.A. President, Wentzel did some checking with
other schools in Virginia about their visitation policy. Wentzel,
famous for his letter to the editor stating, "My friends know that I
believe that gays have two basic rights: 1) the right to pay taxe§
and 2,) the right to die," informed me at the time of his findings. "No
school has a visitation policy as restrictive as Longwood's. Some
schools don't even have a visitation policy, George Mason, for
example."
The idea, it seems, was first suggested to SGA members by ex-
R.E.C. of Frazier, Amy Thompson, during a meeting of the in-
famous Alcohol Task Force (A.T.F. — All Too Familiar). Thompson
knew that defending our kegs was a lost cause and tried to refocus
our attention. "A change in visitation would be welcomed by every
R.A. and R.E.C. and probably the administration too" Thompson
told S.G.A. representatives.
The current visitation policy is simply a hassle for everyone
involved.
For the student body, visitation is a joke; some see it as a sport,
dodging the night host can be both challenging and rewarding.
Others see it as humiliating. Getting busted on the way in by a rare
overzealous night host (coitus preventius), or on the way out during
"the Long Walk' back to your dorm (didn't I see that same shirt at
the mixer last night?) can be traumatic experiences.
Do not assume that people only break visitation for com-
panionship, cramming for a test in groups beyond midnight is also a
primary motivator.
For the R.A.s, visitation means a hassle when they enforce it, a
wrong when they ignore it and a guilt-trip when they violate the rule
themselves. Visitation is far and away the rule most broken by
R.A.s, as well as being the rule that is observed the least by the
entire student body.
For the R.E.C. and the Judicial Board, the current visitation
policy means meaningless paperwork and a total waste of valuable
time. Case after case, incident report after incident report, a tap on
the knuckles is all anyone will ever receive for violating the silly
visitation policy that was set up to keep Hampsters away from the
pre-liberated women of the Normal School.
The effects of the visitation policy include lack of respect for the
Judicial Board and a general feeling that Longwood rules are born to
be broken. Everytime a Judicial Board member gives up free time
only to hear a visitation case drag on, that member thinks about
quitting the board. And everytime a violator breaks a minor,
unenforcible rule, it makes it that much easier to break vital, im-
portant rules, like the honor or fire codes.
Freedom to come and go between dorms via the various main
entrances will surely mark the end of side doors being propped open
and doors being damaged by the more physical elite who simply
yank open the barriers of the heart.
I submit that the dorms will be much safer when there is only
one well lit entrance to each building, as opposed to the 3 or 4
propped open or broken doors that are the existing situation in each
residence hall.
We are now only left to hope that during their next visit, the
Board of Visitors will realize that some people do in fact live here at
the 'wood and know as much as anyone about what is right for
Longwood.
In fact, why not put a student on the Board of Visitors? Other
schools are moving in that direction. Few state school boards are
more out of touch with the student pulse than is Longwood's Board of
Visitors.
WHY CAN'T WE INSTALL A CURRENT LONGWOOD
STUDENT AS A NON-VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF
VISITORS?

Memorial Scholarship Fund -T aClllty
Longwood College has
announced the establishment of
a scholarship fund as a memorial
to Margaret Kennedy (Peggy)
who was killed in an automobile
accident last summer near her
home in Westbury, NY.
Ms. Kennedy, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Kennedy, had
completed three years at
Longwood where she was
majoring in medical technology.
Her twin sister, Patricia, also
attended Ix)ngwood.
"We have received substantial
contributions from Peggy's
family and friends," said Donald
Lemish, the college's vice
president for institutional
advancement, "and we
anticipate sufficient support
from other friends to enable the
fund to reach an endowed level in
a short time."
Plans are to establish a
permanent endowment fund,
with the interest income to be
used for an annual scholarship to
a student in the natural sciences
department.
Contributions may be sent to
the Longwood College
Foundation (Farmville, VA
23901) and designated for the
Kennedy Memorial Scholarship
Fund.
All donors to the fund will be
recognized by Ix)ngwood within
the college's established gift
recognition societies, Lemish
said.

Changes in mid-19th century
France transformed journalism
from its opinion-shaping role for
the elite into popular
entertainment for the masses, a
Longwood College professor said
in a recent speech.
Dr. Jill Kelly, assistant
professor of French, discussed
what she called the
"industrialization and
democratization of art" in 19th-
century France in a Faculty
Colloquium Lecture Feb. 5.
"Printed information, once the
exclusive domain of the well-to-
do who could afford the relatively
exorbitant subscription rates,
was becoming the property of a
wider and less educated public. .
.Even the iUiterate and semi-
literate could enjoy the
medium," she said.
Newspaper publishers were
able to cut operating expenses
through technological advances
in paper and ink production and
in the mechanics of printing, and
by adding advertising.
Previously, newspapers were a
"luxury item" that advanced
political views, she said.
There were three forms of
popular entertainment in the new
journals — visual images (mostly
lithographs), gossipy tid-bits of
news called "faits divers" (real
news), and the serial novel
("roman-feuilleton"), said Kelly.
Lithography was first used to
reproduce contemporary and
classical artwork, much of it
religious. Another popular use
was the "portrait-charge," a
large format engraving of a
famous person. Photographs did
not become a staple of
newspapers "until much later in
the century," when technical
advances made that possible.
"We, who are so used to the
availability of art images,
inexpensive art postcards and
wall posters, may find it hard to
imagine the effect that these
images had on people whose
secular art experience, if any,
was limited to architecture and
an occasional museum visit,"
Kelly said.
The faits divers were "just bits
of stories — four or five lines —
often clipped from provincial
papers and reprinted in Parisian
papers or vice versa. People had
always been fascinated with
other people; now they were
becoming vicariously fascinated
through print." These stories
included "scandals, accidents,
thefts, petty crimes,
embezzlements and
catastrophes."
Daily or weekly installments of
novels were read, or heard read,
by "everyone from the banker to
the chambermaid. . . They were
interminable, multi-plotted epics
— with more similarities to our

R.A. Project
By CRAIG HARDY
Have you ever been ripped off ?
Have you noticed a large amount
of vandalism on campus, and
does it bother you? If you
answered yes to any of these
questions, this article may be of
concern to you.
Several R.A.'s as part of a
special assignment have been
involved in work groups to come
up with ways to help prevent
vandalism and other crime on
campus. The other part of the
assignment was to come up with
ways to increase security at
Longwood in general. We would
like to share with you our ideas:
First of all, February 10th-14th
will be designated as campus-
wide Hall Watch week. Hall
Watch is similar to the
neighborhood watch programs
implemented in cities throughout
the U.S. A resident or a group of
residents will patrol the halls for
a given period of time, and report
theft, vandalism, trespassers,
and a host of other infamous
crimes. Hall Watch had, indeed,
already started in the
Colonnades. From our
understanding the program is a
great success. Hall Watch
certainly seems to have validity
to it. This proves to be true when
the number of incidents has
dropped considerably.
SAV (Students Against
Vandalism) are advocating other
notions as well. They try to point
out to others that the conruniinity
as a whole suffers. When some
idiot breaks a window and doesn't
get caught, the nearest residents
will be charged. So being the
passive, "don't get involved"
resident really does not pay. It's
you that is getting ripp>ed off.
That is money that could be
better spent such as on better
food.
SAV would also like to point out
that if you see someone
committing such an act
vandalism, stealing, and the like,
the police will preserve your
anonymity. With your name
remaining secret, how can you
not report someone who is
ripping off you and your fellow
residents? You can simply drop
the suspects name into your RA's
mailbox or under his door. A
phone call to the Campus Police
would work just as effectively
also.

corporations to support
intramural programs on
campuses. IM sports, he notes,
can use some fund-raising help.
But no one pretends the
activities aren't intended to
moderate revelers' drinking.
"We hope the level of drinking
will be lower than in the past,"
Daytona Chamber of Commerce
representative Betty Wilson
says.
Daytona also will mount a
poster and radio campaign to
promote sensible alcohol
consumption.
"Any planned activity will be
advantageous in (controlling)
how students party," maintains
Beverly Sanders of Boost Alcohol
Consciousness Concerning the
Health of University Students
(Bacchus), a group that runs
"alcohol awareness" programs
on campuses around the country.
Yet the hard-partying spring
break tradition is still a favorite
of some local businesses.
"These kids are going to come
down, party and raise hell. At
least I hope so," says Tommy
Fuquay, manager of The Other
Place, a popular Daytona Beach
club. "It's the only time of year
we make money."
Fuquay says he is more
worried about the new 21-year-
old drinking age slowing business
than the festival.
Most of the national beer
companies, as well as long-time
spring break visiting
corporations like Playboy, plan
to return to the area, too, to
promote their wares.
Coming, too, is Michigan
inventor Ronald Rummell to
market his new product: a vest
allowing its wearer to carry six
beverage containers and keep
them cold.
"It's an alternative to bulky
coolers," he explains.

upon caller to seek the approp-
riate professional help.
Among the legitimate callers
are the inane buffoons who want
to saddle and embarrass the
nation with sophomoric
problems. Only last week a fellow
called whose problems was that
he couldn't get a date, and hadn't
in two years. Our friend admitted
that he was too anxious and
forward on his previous
encounter with women. He was
adamant about not dating again
until he could learn to control his
animal urges, and stop scaring
women away. Doctor Ruth's
advice: "You must keep trying."
It was clear Doctor Ruth had no
solutions for this 22 year old
pubescent. Later in the show a
college student called to ask how
he could stop fantasizing about
the beautiful women in his
classes, and instead concentrate
on his professors lectures. Doctor
Ruth's advice: I hev a brilliant
idea. Iv yoo sit in ze front of ze
cless you vill not be destracted by
ze young frauleins." The only
condolences that can be offered
to the dolts above is that at least
the phone call was toll-free.
Dr. Ruth freely dispenses
information on contraception,
and offers other common sense
type remedies. Her show maybe
helpful to dispel many myths and
misconceptions that young
people have in regard to
sexuality. What irks me is when
reasonably intelligent sounding
adults call. Why call Doctor
Ruth? If you have a problem and
you are intelligent enough to
realize it, you must also be
intelligent enough to know that
calling Doctor Ruth will rarely
provide an answer. Only the most
confused realizes the problems
that need to be publicly directed
to the obvious solutions. Some
call expecting Dr. Ruth to come
up with a miracle solution to
some bizarre problem. As all
radio talk show hosts do, she has
to cut short the weirdos. Dr. Ruth
simply offers the majority of
callers what is known to most as
plain old common sense.
Dr. Ruth for the most part is a
sham. Through the media she has
developed a growing personality
cult. Her show is like going down
to the gossip fence to catch a few
juicy stories. Not that there is
anything wrong with tuning in to
catch the latest travesties in
other sex lives but don't do it
under the guise of it being
educational.
The 2 hour show flows at a good
pace until Dr. Ruth deems it
necessary to anoint the audience
with a humorless archaic
antedote followed by her german
flavored cackle. The show,
however, is not entirely
uninteresting to listen to, but it
soon becomes predictable. One
by chance may pick up a snipet
of useful information, but most of
us will simply chuckle as others
publicly hand out their dirty
under. "Sexually Speaking" with
Doctor Ruth Westheimer
airs Sunday nights 10-12 p.m. on
WRXL 102 FM.
EDITOR'S NOTE: At press
time, Souza gave me a call with
a Dr. Ruth update. It seems that
during the Sunday show,
Westheimer received a call from
"Steve" in Annandale, Virginia.
Steve's problem is that his
girlfrind is away and he does not
get to see her that much. When
they do get together, Steve
reports that he "likes to perform
intercourse for four hours," but
that they suffer 'lubrication
problems' during the marathon.
Westheimer then asked Steve
v^here his girlfriend was. Steve
replied: "She's at a small college
about 150 miles south of here in
Farmville."
Dr. Ruth's response to the
problem is a bit graphic for these
pages, but the staff has been
informed of her (Ruth's Advise)
solution and if Steve's girl from
Longwood wants to come by the
office, we'll let her know what to
do. We won't keep you a minute
over 2 hours. We Promise!

soap operas than to classic
literature." Eugene Sue and Paul
de Kock, the "masters of the
genre," became household
names and some now-famous
writers —Victor Hugo, Flaubert
and Balzac — saw their work
published in the periodicals.
The publication of La Presse, in
1836, heralded the new era in
French journalism, Kelly said.
"Emile de Girardin had dreamed
for years of a less expensive
periodical that would reach a
wider audience. Taking full
advantage of the ever-increasing
technological changes. . .he
developed into a viable form his
idea of a lower subsription price
offset by a fourth page of
advertising ... By the early 1840s
papers were affordable to an
enormously wider audience and
available on the street as single
issues."
Conservative critics scoffed at
both the writers and readers of
serial novels, considering .
genre cheap and materialistic.
"In the mid-19th century, the
French intellectual looking back
on his proud heritage of 700 years
of literature saw with fear the
increased pace with which art
was becoming more than ever
before a negotiable commodity
on the capitalist market."
But the "new order" was here,
to stay, Kelly concluded. "What
had changed was that it was now
a different kind of art by a
different kind of artist for a
different kind of public.
Journalism consciously and
unconsciously had given the
democratic, materialist
tendencies of the age a perfect
medium through which to
express themselves . . .
Journalism had its role in
developing an art that was more
fully about the people, for the
people and by the people."

IN AN UNUSUAL MOVE, a
university president has asked a
district attorney to reconsider his
decision not to file felony rape
charges against three members
of a fraternity. A San Diego State
U. student says she fell un-
conscious after being tricked into
drinking a mixture of Kool-aid
and Everclear at a Pi Kappa
Alpha fraternity party, and that
three fraternity members raped
her while she was unconscious.
The district attorney had decided
that the woman had been "taken
advantage of" but not raped —
which prompted outraged SDSU
students to ask what the dif-
ference was.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCUlTON
PRESIDENT at the U. of
Massachusetts says he may write
to the chancellor expressing the
association's support for student
control of the Student Activities
Fund. At issue is an attempt by
the director of student activities
to control the student govern-
ment's trust fund. The fund
comes from student fees and
pays for all student activities, but
has been in the red for two years.
"I'm in favor of students taking
over their own money," the
association president says.
"That's something I fought for
back in the '60s."

Parlor
Entertainment
Longwood College extends an
invitation to "step into the
parlor" for entertainment as it
was before radio, movies, and
television were invented.
The Valentine's Day Parlor
Entertainment is scheduled for
Friday, February 14, at 8 p.m in
the Gold Room of Lankford
Building.
The entertainers are Dr.
Patricia Lust, Dr. Rosemary
Sprague, and Dr. Donald Stuart,
of the Longwood faculty, and Dr.
James Kidd, of the Hampden-
Sydney College faculty.
"The parlor used to be a center
of entertainment," Dr. Sprague
said. "Family members and
guests were invited to play the
piano or other musical
instruments, sing the latest hits
or old favorites, recite poetry,
and exercise their wits in word
games."
Professional standards were
not expected, she added, "the
willingness was all. And those
who might be too shy to exhibit
their accomplishments could
always join in the applause."
Proceeds from the Parlor
Entertainment will be used for
scholarships.
Admission is $5.00 for adults,
$2.50 for students.

Follow-up
RABBI MEIR KAHANE, the
radical Zionist, didn't like it
much when the Tulane U. student
government cancelled his
speaking engagement because
the security arrangements were
too expensive — he sent a
telegram calling the decision
"illegal and outrageous,"
threatening a $1 million lawsuit
and vowing to make his ap-
pearance as planned, with or
without an invitation.
IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEFEAT of recent U. of niinois
Student Government Association
legislation aimed at limiting SGA
support of showing X-rated films,
the SGA Campus Affairs Com-
mittee announced the showing of
"Not A Love Story" - a fihn
claiming to show the extent and
growth of the pornography in-
dustry. "We hope to educate and
promote inquiry and thought on
the issue of pornography on
campus," the committee
chairperson says.
THE CHANCELLOR DIDN'T
HEAR THE POP of even one
champagne cork at U. of
Wisconsin's December com-
mencement ceremony — and he
was impressed. "There was still
exuberance," he said. "But it
was orderly. It was the kind of joy
or enthusiasm that makes you
feel good." The chancellor has
threatened to cancel future
ceremonies if the "traditional"
rowdiness and drinking con-
tinued.
FRATERNITY FACTS: In
1985, there were 5,618 un-
dergraduate chapters and 350
colonies in the U.S. There were
300,000 undergraduate members
and 100,000 initiates. The total
number of living alumni mem-
bers is nearly four million.
WHO'S TO BLAME? In a
recent Parade magazine survey
of teachers, almost 90 percent
blamed parents for the problemis
of the country's education
system. The teachers say parents
do not instill discripline and other
qualities in their children that
would motivate them to learn,
and that it is difficult to find
parents interested in creating a
home environment conductive to
learning or willing to discuss
their child's problems in school.
BLACK STUDENTS
EDUCATED in integrated
elementary and secondary
schools are more likely to stay in
college than students from
segregated schools, according to
a new study by the Rand Corp.
"Blacks need the experience in
dealing with whites," says
researcher Robert Crain. Robert
Mitchem, of the National Council
of Educational Opportunity
Associations, says "Integration
does a lot for (black students')
confidence. They realize they are
the same as whites."
Legal Issues
AN EDUCATION DEPART-
MENT INVESTIGATION
recovered $11.8 million in
misused school aid in six months,
and netted 98 indictments in
schemes ranging from theft by
bank and college officials to a
marriage ring that paired foreign
students with prostitutes. The 98
indictments have already
produced 79 convictions.

THE STATE LOTTERY in
California is paying off for
education. Public schools
received $272 million in lottery
proceeds: $220.32 million to
elementary and secondary
schools, $32.64 million to
community colleges, $12.24
million to the California State
University system and $6.8
million to the University of
California system.
A SNOWBALL FIGHT, started
by a few U. of Illinois students,
got out of hand when nearly 300
others joined in. The crowd went
on a three-hour rampage,
breaking car windows and
mirrors, and overturning a van.
Damages may reach $5,000. The
university police say the students
were "taking out their
frustrations over final exams."
MARIJUANA USE has a
greater effect on memory and
thinking ability than previously
has been thought, according to
Listen: A Journal of Better
Living. The journal says the
marijuana-induced chemical
changes in the brain diminish
both memory and thinking
ability. Occasional use affects
short-term memory, and regular
use damages long-term and
abstract memory. Reading
comprehension problems are
also common. (Contact: Call
Richard Inglish at 202-722-6728).
ONLY ABOUT 5 percent of the
students who graduated from the
U. of West Virginia's College of
Agriculture from 1975 to 1984 took
jobs on farms, according to
WVU's recruiting committee.
PEER PRESSURE AND
SOCIALIZING are the primary
reasons students at Rochester
Community College drink alcohol
and use drugs, according to a
survey by the student newspaper,
Echo. The average age at which
students first experimented with
alcohol is 14; among those who
have used drugs, it is 16.
OLDER STUDENTS often feel
"very isolated," according to
officials at Columbia U. Non-
traditional students have "a
stronger sense of intentionality
than the adolescent student and
this makes for a very different
college attitude."
A GAMBUNG RAID by the U.
of Nebraska police netted seven
student arrests. Police say the
students are not tied to any one
organization, but combined they
handled about $52,000 in
gambling per week.
MORE THAN 68,000
STUDENTS from middle-income
families will be denied federal
scholarships next fall, according
to Education Department
officials. The Department is
cutting $170.9 million from its
programs as its share of the
nearly $12 billion in savings
required by the new deficit-
reduction law.
PELL GRANTS will fund
2,691,000 students for the 1986-87
academic year. The income
cutoff for a student from a typical
family of four will drop from
$25,000 in adjusted gross income,
to $24,000.
WOMEN WILL BE
ADMITTED to at least one of
Princeton U.'s three all-male
eating clubs. The University
Cottage Club voted to admit
women in the midst of a sex-
discrimination suit filed against
the clubs and the school.
VANDALISM, EXCESSIVE
DRINKING, body-passing and
disorderly behavior on the part of
student fans is precipitating a
few changes at the U. of
Wisconsin football stadium. A\
committee studying the problem ;
recommends issuing students '
color-coded tickets and allowing
them to enter the stadium only at
designated gates, maintaining
the student seating section except
for the top few rows, and
discontinuing the sale of
beverages in hard plastic cups in
the student section.
SIX MINORITY GROUPS at
the U. of Pennsylvania are
protesting the possible
reinstatement of a professor who
was suspended last year after
referring to black students in his
class as "ex-slaves" and making
other racist remarks. The
students are also demanding
more minority faculty and
creation of a Minority Affairs
Office to aid victims of racial
harassment.

Minnesota's Department of
Environmental Health and
Safety. The plan to renew
inspections comes in the wake of
a proposal by the city of St. Paul
to license Greek houses under
strict rooming and boarding
house codes.
CAMPUS ALCOHOL INTAKE
is down, but is still considered a
serious problem, according to
two recent polls. A poll by
BACCHUS found that drinking
has dropped 13 percent among
males, and 25 percent among
females, since 1981. Another
study found that college
administrators say alcohol abuse
is less of a problem than it was
six years ago, but is still a
"terrible problem."
A $600,100 CLAIM has been
filed against Stanford U. and the
campus police by a student
arrested at an October sit-in. The
student charges that the
arresting officer's use of the
compliance-pain hold was an
"excessive, unreasonable,
unnecessary and unlawful
force." He also claims he was
"placed in isolation, strip
searched and beaten" while in
jail.
LOW BUDGETS needn't keep
student organizations from
advertising on the U. of Utah's
campus: For $15, they can have
announcements aired hourly
each day for a week in the Union
Terrace. The announcements can
be changed each day to keep the
message fresh. The service was
brought in as a response to a poll
which found that students want to
know more about what their
leaders are doing.
DIET AND EXERQSE have
an effect on test performance,
according to the Penn State U.
assistant dean for counseling and
academic skills development.
Students should eat food easily
digested and high in protein such
as fish, cheese or eggs the night
before an exam. To raise blood
sugar and adrenalin levels,
students should eat hard candy
directly before the exam. To
relieve tension, students should
jxercise to the point of
perspiration, but not fatigue,
about an hour before an exam.
WINDOWS ARE BOLTED
SHUT in the men's freshman hall
at the U. of Mississippi to
"balance the heating and air
conditioning systems, and to
prevent objects being thrown
from windows," according to the
UM housing director. UM will
also begin billing entire floors for
vandalism when the vandal is not
caught. As one official described
it: "It looked worse than bad. It
looked like a burned-out bunker
on some floors.'"
Patrol Keeps
Longwood Safe
The Rotunda Tuesday, February 11, 1986 Page 9
"Why do I have to pay so much
for damage done to my hall?" "I
don't feel safe in my own room at
night." "Nobody cares about the
dorms."
These are just a few of the
comments you may have heard
from students on campus. They
reflect an overall feeling on the
part of Longwood 's student body
that nothing can be done about
the vandalism and security
problems on the residence halls.
There is, however, a group of
students who believe they can
make a difference. This group
consists of residents from First
Floor Tabb who spend every
night making hourly rounds of
the Colonnades Residence
Complex (Tabb, So. Tabb, South
Ruffner, and French). Between
midnight and 7 a.m. Sunday-
Thursday and 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Friday and Saturday, members
of this voluntary group make
continuous rounds for each of
their hour shifts. The Colonnades
Security Patrol uses a Campus
Police radio (allowing direct
access to the Campus Policeman
on patrol) and wears T-shirts
paid for by the Colonnades Hall
Council. The originators of this
idea, E. J. Bryant and Jerry P.
Hurt, believe that the presence of
the patrol helps deter possible
vandals and trespassers, as well
as makes the women of the
Colonnades feel more secure
(First Floor Tabb is the only floor
of males in the complex). While
on rounds, the patrol unprops
doors, confronts suspicious-
looking individuals, and reports
problems to the Campus Police.
The following individuals are
currently serving as members of
the Colonnades Security Patrol:
Joe Bemat, Ted Bischof, Nelson
Bordeau, E. J. Bryant, Steve
Chalkey, Jon Connell, Vic
Fredette, Mike Gibson, Jerry P.
Hurt, Matt Morgan, Rickey Otey,
Richard Thexton and Marty Witt.

Gymnasts Score Record LadysB-Baii
By JIM WINKLER
The Longwood gymnastics
team hosted its first meet of the
year in high fashion, outscoring
UMBC 168.75 - 159.45. The Lancer
score topped the old school high
of 166.40 which the team recorded
last year against William &
Mary.
"The victory was sweet
revenge," said Longwood Coach
Ruth Budd. "The team was
psyched about our first home
meet, and we had a super
audience cheering support."
Earlier this year UMBC defpatpH
the Lancers for the first time
vever 153.70 - 149.75.
The lancers, now 3-5, will host
Georgia College and Trenton
State Saturday at 20:00.
Senior Lisa Zuraw led the
Lancers over UMBC. She won the
vaulting (9.0) and floor
competition (8.8) and finished
2nd on beam (8.8). The senior
also finished first in all-around
(34.95) to tie the Longwood
record which Kelly Strayer set
last season in the NCAA
Regionals.
Strayer, who had not competed
this year due to an injury,
performed just on beam. Her
first performance was a gem, as
the senior tied the Longwood
record (8.9) and won the
competition. Budd noted that
Strayer will probably compete in
more than one event next week.
as she has been able to work out
more in recent weeks.
Freshman Linda Chenoweth
finished 2nd all-around (3445),
which is the third highest score
ever performed by a Longwood
gymnast. The freshman placed
2nd in vaulting (8.8), 3rd on beam
(8.65) and floor (8.5) and 4th on
bars (8.5). Chenoweth has scored
well for the Lancers in all-around
all season.
Junior Debbe Malin also came
close to setting a Longwood
record. Malin won the bars
competition scoring 8.95, which is
just short of the school record (9.0
- Strayer in 1985 Regionals). The
junior tied for third in vaulting
(8.75) and finished third in alt
around (33.30) to complete the
Lancer sweep in all-around.
"The team performed great,"
said Budd. "It was the first time
all season that we were able to
have everyone healthy and able
to compete. The team worked
well together."
Coach Budd is hoping for
another "good crowd" Saturday
when Georgia College and
Trenton State face the Lancers at
2:00 in Lancer Hall. Longwood
will have just one other home
meet after that, the Virginia
State Meet March 1 at 2:00.
Radford, JMU and William &
Mary will face the Lancers in
that meet.

WOODSY OWL _
By Tony Brzezicki
After struggling against
Washington and Lee Wednesday
the Longwood Lancer grapplers
bounced back at the Old
Dominion Duals Saturday to up
their record to 7-10.
The Lancers defeated Loyola
51-18 and Christopher Newport
54-12 at ODU. Longwood's only
loss of the weekend came at the
hands of Howard University by a
score of 32-24. Last Wednesday
Longwood traveled to
Washington & Lee and came back
with a 42-12 defeat.
Leading the Lancers were
sophomores Pete Whitman — 142
& 158, Jesus Strauss — HWT,
David Taylor — 190, and junior
Billy Howard - 177.
Whitman picked up three wins
last week against one defeat,
bringing his overall record to 26-
10. This sets a new Longwood
record for most wins in a season,
surpassing teammate Billy
Howard's 1985 school record of
23-15. Whitman won on a 4-3
decision against W & L and
picked up pins against Loyola
and Christopher Newport before
losing a 9-7 decision to his
Howard opponent.
(^irthciatel
Strauss wrestled an excellent
week by pinning opponents at W
& L, Christopher Newport, and
Kutztown (an individual match).
^^, ^"im.
PETE WHITMAN
He received a forfeit from Loyola
and was handed his one defeat by
Howard. Strauss' record now
stands at 16-13.
Taylor evened his record at 15
after winning all four of his
matches. He defeated a grappler
from W & L 12-5, Loyola 7-6, got a
pin against Christopher Newport
and received a forfeit from
Howard.
Howard had a 3-0 weekend and
pushed his record up to 17-7-1. He
won on a technical fall against
Loyola 19-4, pinned his
Christopher Newport opponent,
and received a forfeit from
Howard.
The Lancers' last regular
season match is Wednesday in
Lancer Hall against Division I
opponent Virginia Tech starting
at 7:00.
Longwood then heads to
Liberty on Friday to compete in
the NCAA Division II Regional
championship. Individual
winners will earn the right to
compete in the National
championship at Edwardsville,
111. February 28-March 1. Only
one previous wrestler from
Longwood has made it the
Nationals, Tim Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald ranks third among
Lancer grapplers for most wins
in a season with a record of 22-9 in
1984-85.

Longwood's women's
basketball team will finally be
able to unpack its bags for a few
days. The Lady Lancers have two
home games this week after
playing away for nearly a month.
Coach Shirley Duncan's team
will host Mason-Dixon
Conference foes Liberty
University Tuesday and
Maryland Baltimore County
Saturday in action this week.
Starting time for the games is
7:30. Both are key contests as the
Lady lancers point toward the
MDAC Tournament February 27-
March 1 at Pittsburgh-
Johnstown.
Now 6-13 overall and 0-5 in the
league, Longwood was up-and-
down last week, falling to District
of Columbia 77-76 Tuesday,
whipping Bridgewater 90-44
Thursday and losing at
Pittsburgh-Johnstown 82-63
Saturday night.
At UPJ, the Lady lancers
played one of the area's better
teams. Leading Longwood were
Caren Forbes with 16 points,
Melanie Lee 14 points and 10
rebounds, and Karen Boska, 11
points and 8 rebounds. The I^dy
Mountain Cats got 32 points and
14 rebounds from Karen Sayers.
Freshman Sandy Rawdon
scored 15 points to lead
Thursday's win at Bridgewater.
Forbes had 14 points and I.«e 12
as all 11 Lady Lancers scored in
the 90-44 victory. Longwood
scored its season-high point total
against the Lady Eagles.
Longwood turned in one of its
top performances of the season at
District of Columbia last
Tuesday. The Lady lancers led
76-75 until UDC scored late to
squeak by 77-76. Forbes scored 18
points and dished off 8 assists,
Lee had 17 points and 11 rebounds
and freshman Kita Chambers
had seven points and 10 rebounds.
Tuesday night's home game
with Liberty will be Longwood's
first in lancer Hall since William
and Mary visited January 16.

Lancers Continue To Demolish Conference
Like "Ole Man River," the
Longwood men's basketball team
just kept rolling along last week,
notching its sixth and seventh
wins in a row and climbing above
500 for the first time this season.
The first place team in the
Mason-Dixon Conference with a
6-1 league mark, Longwood is
now 11-10 overall after beating
Randolph-Macon 78-57
Wednesday and Pittsburgh-
Johnstown 80-69 Saturday. After
a stretch of four straight home
games, the Lancers face two road
tests this week.
After visiting conference rival
Liberty University Monday
night, Longwood will travel to
Baltimore Saturday to take on
Maryland Baltimore County,
host for this year's Mason-Dixon
Conference Tournament
February 27 - March 1. Both
MDAC foes figure to give the
Lancers all they can handle.
Longwood returns home to host
a talented Atlantic Christian
squad next Monday (Feb. 17) in
what will be a free ticket night for
Farmville-area elementary
school and junior high students.
TRIO LEADS THE WAY
Longwood got outstanding
performances from its three-man
punch of seniors Lonnie Lewis
and Kenneth Fields and junior
Quintin Kearney in beating
Randolph-Macon and Pitt-
Johnstown last week.
The Lancers raced to a 45-25
halftime lead and then coasted
home with an 80-69 win over the
Mountain Cats Saturday night.
Longwood's third straight home
crowd of 1,000-plus had lots to
cheer about as Lewis scored 23
points, Fields 22 points with 10
rebounds and Kearney 18 points
witli 12 rebounds.
Fields and Uwis scored 14
points each in the first half as
Longwood used its highly
effective half court trap to disrupt
UPJ's offense. Pitt-Johnstown
scoring leader Bill Lindsay
managed but six points in the
first half. Fields added 3 assists, 3
blocked shots and 3 steals in a
fine all-around performance,
while guard Kevin Ricks had 6
points, 6 assists and 4 steals.
Wednesday's victory over
Randolph-Macon, which ended a
string of six straight losses to the
Jackets, followed a different
scenario. A fired up but injury-
riddled R-MC team battled
Longwood to a 33-33 halftime
deadlock. The Lancers, with
Kearney leading the way,
exploded in the second half and
waltzed away with a 78-57
triumph.
LANCER BASKETBALL 2-2-2
Kearney dominated the inside
in one key second half stretch as
Longwood went on a 22-8 run to go
from a 39-39 tie to a 61-47 lead.
The 6-6 junior center scored nine
points in the outburst with a
slam, three follow-shots and a
free throw. He finished with 14
points and 6 rebounds. Lewis
scored 22 points while Fields had
18 points and a team-high 8
rebounds.
Guards Kevin Ricks (8 points, 8
assists, no turnovers), and Eric
Pittman, 8 points, 4 assists and 3
steals, also made major
contributions to the victory,
which avenged a 60-56 loss to the
Jackets January 15. Longwood
hit 63 per cent of its shots
Wednesday night. A large (1,253
estimated) and vocal home
crowd aided the victory.
NOTES ON THE LANCERS
— Fields and Lewis have been
amazingly consistent this season.
Fields has hit double figures in all
21 of Longwood's games while
Lewis has made double digits in
20 of 21 games and 17 in a row.
— In addition to playing
outstanding defense recently,
Longwood leads the Mason-Dixon
Conference in both field goal
(.529) and free throw (.746)
shooting. All five starters, Lewis,
Fields, Ricks, Kearney and
senior Lionell Ogburn, are
shooting over 52 percent from the
floor. Ogburn is high man at .600
from the floor.
— When Lewis hit a cold streak
in the first half of Wednesday's
win over R-MC, Ricks pumped in
four of four outside shots to take
up the slack.
— Home attendance is on the
rise for the Lancer cagers.
Longwood students and fans have
been quick to jump on the
bandwagon with crowds of over
1,000 for the Mount St. Mary's
Randolph-Macon and Pitt-
Johnstown contests.
— If awards were given out for
comeback team of the year, the
Lancers would rate high.
Rebounding from 0-4 and 4-10
starts, Longwood has won seven
in a row and 11 of its last 17.
Whitman, Player Of Week
Longwood sophomore wrestler
Pete Whitman won three of four
matches last week to break the
school record for wins in a
season, and for his
accomplishments, Whitman has
been named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the period
February 2-9. Player of the Week
is chosen by the Longwood Sports
Information Office.
Whitman upped his season
mark to 26-10 last week, bettering
the record of 23 wins which
teammate Billy Howard
established last season.
Competing at both 142 and 158
pounds. Whitman got a 4-3
decision against Washington &
Lee, picked up pins in wins over
lx)yola and Christopher-Newport
and dropped a 9-7 decision to his
Howard University foe.
After going 17-17 last season.
Whitman now has a career
record of 43-27. He is expected to
be one of Longwood's top
performers Friday and Saturday
at the NCAA Division II Southern
Regional Tournament at Uberty
University in Lychburg.
Lewis, Conference Player
Of Week
Keny Flddi M«n «ver RaadolplhMBcoiL
Senior co-captain Lonnie
Lewis, who scored 45 points in
two Longwood victories last
week, has been named Mason-
Dixon Conference Player of the
Week for the period February 2-9.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the MDAC Publicity Office at
Maryland Baltimore County.
Lewis, the league's leading
scorer for much of the season,
poured in 22 points in a 78-57 win
over Randolph-Macon
Wednesday and 23 points in an 80-
69 victory over Pittsburgh-
Johnstown Saturday. His output
helped the Lancers raise their
league-leading record to 6-1 and
overall mark to 11-10.
Averaging 19 points per game,
Lewis is one of the top free throw
shooters in the nation. He has hit
63 of 72 at the charity stripe (87.5
per cent) and 52.6 from the floor.
Saturday night he moved into
third place on Longwood's all-
time scoring list. Lewis now has
1,336 points in four years, moving
ahead of Ron Orr (1,335). Only
Joe Remar (1,479) and Jerome
LONNIE LEWIS
Kersey (1,756) rank ahead of
Lewis.
A graduate of Henrico High
School, Lewis has hit double
digits in 20 of 21 games this
season and 17 in a row. His play
has been a key factor in
Longwood's recent seven-game
win streak. He is a business
management major.

Number Sixteen
College Head Meet To Discuss
Non-Involvement
Study Abroad
In France
By JESSICA SNYDER
More than 100 college
presidents met in Washington
last week to exhort students to
become less "self-obsessed," and
get involved in their
communities.
The coalition of presidents
suggested fnaking "civic
responsibility" a graduation
requirement, and even replacing
student aid programs with grants
for community service work.
Some observers, including
students, predict collegians are
in fact too self-involved to
respond even to the spectacle of
administrators — who
historically fret student activism
might inhibit campus fund-
raising and image-building
efforts — encouraging political
involvement.
Other educators worry a lack of
funding and of "leverage" over
students will wreck the
presidents' hopes for more
student activism.
"It's one thing to change
graduation requirements (to
force students to become
involved)," says Leonard
Gordon, an Arizona State
scoiologist who studies trends in
student attitudes. "Students
will respond to that. But if they
have to depend on voluntary
response, they just don't have the
leverage."
The presidential coalition,
meeting in Washington last week,
pledged to:
-f Carry the message of civic
responsibility to campuses.
+ Advise existing student
organizations how to get students
involved in communities outside
campuses.
+ Ask governments and
schools to provide more service-
related internships, possibly
making community service a
requirement for financial aid.
"Students need to hear,
repeatedly and from many
sources, 'you have a duty to pay
your dues,' " explains Frank
Newman, head of the Education
Commission of the States and co-
founder of the Coalition of College
Presidents for Civic
Responsibility.
"Students today, as compared
to students in the 1960s, are more
self focused and cynical. They
see problems as big, complex and
beyoond their ability to do
anything about them," he says.
Newman authored a report last
spring that criticized students for
being "self-obsessed" and
"materialistic."
The report, in turn, led
Newman and some colleagues to
form the coalition to find ways to
divert students from their
"materialism."
Newman would like to convince
students it's in their own best
interest to get involved, whetrher
it be stumping for a favorite
candidate, iadlmg soup at a local
shelter or counting ballots in a
school election.
Dr. Richard Rosser, president
of DePauw University in Indiana,
concurs.
"Community service probably
ought to be a requirement on
every campus in this country,"
he says.
"We have a responsibility to
prepare people to accept their
civic responsibility."
To get them to accept it,
Newman suggests replacing
existing loan programs with
grants for public-service work.
"Students who are piling up
loans are less willing to view
obligations to society," concedes
Newman. "They say, 'you talked
me into borrowing $15,000
(to pay for college). I've got to
get out and make that big
money.' "
But Robert Atwell, president
of the American Council on
Education, last week told the
coalition such grant pograms
would have little chance of
funding, given the budget
strictures of the Gramm-
Rudman-HoUings Act.
"Students are more enmired
and enmesthed these days in
their own problems of getting
through college and working part
time," ASU's Gordon adds. "If
presidents want response, they'll
have to address bread-and-butter
issues such as housing for
married students, child care and
cooperative housing."
Presidents, moreover, risk

Longwood College is pleased
to announce the third year of its
very successful study abroad
program in southern France.
This three week program (June
19 - July 10, 1986) will enable
students to earn three credits in
French 311.
Southern France's climate in
the sununer is dry, warm and
sunny.
The program will be held at
the University of Toulouse which
dates from 1229 and houses a
student body of approximately
10,000.
The foreign language
department at Toulouse offers
many programs that place major
emphasis on the application of
languages toward both the
humanities and business.
Any two students who have
completed two semesters of
college French with a B average
or three semesters with a C
average are eligible to apply.
There are several scholarships
available that will partially
cover the tuition expense. For
more information please contact:
Dr. Jill Kelly, Department of
English, Philosophy and Foreign
Languages, Longwood College,
Farmville, Va. 23901.
Longwood
Sculptor
Pieter de Groot is a sculptor
whose work, unlike
Michaelangelo's, won't endure
for centuries. But that's
not for lack of talent.
His carefully sculpted swans,
condors and other figures are
made of ice, rather than clay or
stone, de Groot, a chef for ARA
Services at Longwood College,
makes what he calls "ice
carvings" to enhance the buffet
table at special dinners. The
Dutch-bom chef has made four
ice carvings at Longwood —
three swans and a condor — and
has sculpted several hundred
during his career of more than 40
years.

Ferdinand Marcos has been
declared the winner in the
Philippine election, but is
declared the loser in ahnost
every other respect. Hoping to be
elected easily, to show the world
how popular he was, he
underestimated the popularity of
a martyer's widow, Corazon
Aquino. The calling of these early
elections in which he was so
confident to win, turned out to be
his biggest political mistake.
His crumbling government
controlled completely by him,
through his cronies, has lost
credibility. He can't hide the
poverty that the average
Philippine person lives in, or the
economy that looms on disaster.
The strength of the New People's
Army (NPA) is increasing
dramatically, and is threatening
revolution, that could lead to a
communist military dictatorship
upon the death of Marcos or
sooner.
The U.S. has tried to move
Marcos toward reform by the
threats of less aid of all kinds, but
most attempts to persuade
Marcos have been fruitless. The
Philippine people are at a point to
believe that any government is
better than the Marcos
government. This of course
would be a communist
government led by the NPA,
which would be even worse.
The U.S. deeply concerned
about the vital Air Force and
Navy installations; Clark air
base and Subic Bay. These bases
provide a balance of power in
South East Asia against the
Soviet Union. Without these bases
many pro American countries,
would move closer to the Soviet
Union, which is presently
building a base in Vietnam. They
are also necessary to keep
valuable sea lanes open. The
alternative for replacing the
bases would cost billions of
dollars and would not be as
strategic.
By stealing this election, it
shows that Marcos isn't as strong
and popular as he claimed to be.
If anything it gives the NPA, a
reason to topple the Marcos
government with support of the
Philippine people. Because the
military of Marcos primarily
keeps him in power, it will take a
show of arms to oust him, and
with him the U.S. bases.
Ferdinand Marcos was so very
blind in his pursuit of wealth and
personal security, that he
destroyed the Philippines in the
process, with no easy solution in
the future. With President
Reagan not prepared to abandon
the Philippines, like past
Presidents have abandoned
countries like Nicaragua, and
Iran, the U.S. military has a
strong possibility of intervening,
and restoring peace and order to
the Philippines. In doing so, the
U.S. would reinstate the
principles of democracy that the
Philippine people so desperately
yearn, while protecting vital U.S.
interest in that part of the world.

Desk Side Chats
Weber Continues Fantasy
To The Editor:
I was fascinated by your
capitalized editorial plea of
February 11 for a non- voting
student member of the Board of
Visitors. Your request was
granted by the Board some five
years ago and is in effect today.
The President of the Student
Government Association is a non-
voting member of the Board. He
or she is invited to Board
functions, receives a pre-Board
meeting briefing from President
Greenwood, and sits with the
Board in an official capacity
during meetings. John Colangelo,
as SGA president, is the current
student representative to the
Board of Visitors. Perhaps it is
not the Board that is out of touch
with students, as your editorial
claimed, but some students who
are out of touch with the Board!
Dr. Robert P. Webber
Faculty Representative to the
Board of Visitors
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: Ah
Dr. Webber, I haven't heard your
whirlings for a while. I've looked
for your letter to the editor sent
back in September; sadly, I
believe it was filed cylindrically.
Last time, your letter raged on a
new, earn-while-you-learn staff
of three putting together a paper
which was littered with
typographical errors by our ex-
printer in Amelia. I wrote an
editorical telling all that if you
don't write, shutup, because you
are the cause of the problem.
Well you did. Shut up that is, for a
satisfying five months.
Allow me to clarify last week's
editorial statement: What I
meant to say was, that I would
like to see a REAL student
representation on the Board of
Visitors, a Participator, a board
member. Colangelo, as S.G.A.
President, is allowed to attend
open meetings, as is anyone who
wants to walk on in. There are
frequently times when the Board
gives everyone the boot, in-
cluding you, asking all to leave
while they do whatever Boards
do.
Last year's S.G.A. President,
Garth Wentzel, told me that Vice
President for Student Affairs,
Phyllis Mable advises the S.G.A.
representative to not make
waves, to be an observer. This
administrative discouragement
continues as policy today.
My call last week was for a
student to be appointed as a non-
voting MEMBER of the Board of
Visitors, an improvement on the
restrictive, misleading system
now in place. Other schools are
beginning to do this, so must
Long wood.
After we get a TRUE student
Board Member, maybe we can
achieve the same for the faculty.
Nothing could make me happier;
The Board of Visitors would be
oozing of communication, and
you. Dr. Webber, would have
some REAL power.
I trust that next year's editor
will hear from you in about 5
months.

WOODSY OWL _
By DEBORAH L. SHELKEY
Relaxed, and self-confident he
svjrays back in the chair
behind his small desk. Philippe
Casenave, the visiting teaching
assistant of Basic French is
tucked in an office amid the
Military Science Departments.
Casenave took a year off from his
own studies to teach at
Longwood. This fresh political
science graduate from the
University of Toulduse admits he
is happy at Farmville's small
college.
Casenave, who is turning 21 in
May, has been learning the
English language for 10 years.
Reading has been the greater
force for his speaking and
understanding ability, not
conversation. Since January, he
has had a single room in Curry
dormitory and confessed that
living alone has proved better for
his schedule. Though the food in
the dining hall was a major
change of cuisine he is
accustomed to, he claims that
ARA meals are "not that bad."
When asked if he misses his
home and family, he smiles. (I
believe he expected the
question). Occasionally
Casenave "feels blue" but with
teaching and learning he
"doesn't have time to be
homesick," but he does write
home twice a month.
Casenave was surprised to
realize some of his female
students find him intriguing
because he is French.
This teacher-student likes to
come to campus mixers and D.T.
Bradleys. When he is not playing
Rugby or lifting weights,
Casenave checks into Lancaster
library. He finds books written in
French and reserves movies. To
Casenave's disappointment, the
library is closed Friday nights.
A frown flickers on his face
when Casenave shares feelings
about Longwood's reputation.
Casenave is concerned that some
Longwood students have
negative attitudes about the
college. He tells me: "Quality
students make a quality college.
Students should criticize
themselves first."
Referring to the different social
standards, Casenave shakes his
head to the American dating
rules. He beUeves one should not
date one person so seriously he
closes himself off to others. This
language teacher believes one
should date in groups and have
many close friends of the
opposite sex. The "French are
Dragmatic" he tells me, meaning
they base decisions on
experiences. He confesses the
French are very rational and call
this idea, the "French Square
Spirit."
At the close of this chat we
discussed his feelings of the
abuse of drugs on Longwood.
Casenave is alarmed by the
amount of alcohol consumption
and use of marijuana on campus.
He claims students break
drinking laws because there are
drinking laws. American college
students drink to escape, but
French students drink wine with
meals and when they "meet with
friends."
Casenave plans to return to
Toulduse in September and
resume his studies. Bonne
chance!

"I've made a tiger, horse,
swordfish, dolphin, basket of
plenty, ship's bow, shrimp boat,
lettuce, Christmas tree — you
name it," he said. "Sure, it takes
talent. Not every chef can do it."
de Groot's most recent effort;
was a condor he creatred for the:
Thomas Sully Benefit Dinner on
Feb. 8. He started out with a 300-
pound block of ice which, when
finished, weighed about 150 to 200
pounds and stood 3^^ to 4 feet
high, 'it usually takes an hour to
an hour and a half to make,
depending on the figurine," he
said.
He made the condor on Feb. 7
and put it back in the freezer until
three hours before the dinner,
when it was placed on the buffet
table. He usually works on the
dock behind the dining hall, "to
get rid of the excess water and
- ice."
After these special functions,
the ice carving is returned to the
back door to melt away. "After
four or five hours, about 20
percent of the ice has melted
down. So, your figure gets
smaller and smaller."
de Groot, who has made
smaller carvings with chocolate,
butter and other substances,
considers ice the easiest to work
with. "But it has to be tempered
first. When you take the ice out of
the freezer, it's about 25 degrees
below zero. You have to wait four
to six hours, until it's about zero.
Otherwise, with the slightest hit,
the ice scatters just like brittle
glass."
"When it's ready to work with,
you just chip away the excess.
You can use a chain saw, blow-
torch, chisel, icepick, saw,
whatever . . . Yeah, your fingers
get cold but you get used to it. But
your feet get cold because you're
standing in ice. So you always
wear some boots."
The best pace to make an ice
carving is in an ice-house,
because the atmosphere is more
conducive. "The ice doesn't drip
as much and you don't get as
much water. But I have made
them everywhere — on the street,
in the back of a church, in a dance
hall. People usually stop and
watch you work. They look at
your progress, ask questions,
and say 'Hey, that looks nice.
What is it?' "
"I made ice carvings on the
side, for weddings and parties,
when I worked at the Culinary
Institute of Washington, D.C. The
going rate is $100 to $125. I also
made them when I worked for
Sheraton (hotels) and American
Alriines. At the Sheraton in
Oklahoma City, I did one every
week for the Sunday buffet for
two years."

markings on the ice before
carving. He used those steps
when starting out but not
anymore. He has given classes in
ice carving at the Culinary
Institute in Washington, where he
taught part-time in 1984, and for
ARA, an international food-
service company.
He learned how to carve ice in
1949 when he was working in
Indonesia for a chef who also was
a Dutch native. "I was the sous
chef (second in command) at one
of the largest hotels in the
Pacific. I had already done some
chocolate sculptures and sugar
forming — you take gelatin and
powdered sugar, which is called
'pasta lache,' and cut it or mold it
by hand, like clay . . . Eventually
I became better than
the chef at ice carving, mainly
because of my previous
experience as a pastry chef."
De Groot had gone to
Indonesia, a former Dutch
colony, after being drafted into
the Dutch army in 1946. It was
there that he met his wife, Hilda.
They have two married
daughters; one lives in Atlanta,
the other in Oklahoma.
The chef also has made "ice
sockles" — smaller versions of
ice carvings — for special table
service. "I've made basket and
bowl shapes to serve butter.
As the paint begins to dry on
the walls of the Lankford Student
Union, the Student Union Board
(formally S-UN) is also
preparing itself for a new coat of
paint.
The Student Union Board is
expanding. We have added new
student leadership positons and
are looking for interested,
motivated people to fill those
positions.
The Union Board offers you an
opportunity to expand your
experiences here at Longwood,
as well as meet new people, make
new friends and have some fun.
The Union Board programming
organization means exactly what
it says — Students putting on
programs for the students,
faculty and staff of Longwood
College.
The Student Union Board is
composed of seven committees
which work independently and
jointly to program events in the
respective areas of interest. The
committees are: Mainstage,
Backdoor, Films, Lectures, Arts,
Recreation and Lancer Cafe.
Additionally, we have a Building
Operations position that will
work with the Director of the
Student Union recommending
building procedures and
operations. Whatever you're
interested In,' the Student Union
Board probably has it.
At Student Union Board we
stress: Communication,
Management, and Leadership.
This does not mean that we are
immune to having fun — we do a
lot of work, but we also have fun
doing it. In fact, one of the best
things about being in S.U.B. is the
people. Each member is unique
and individual. In S.U.B you will
be exposed to new people and new
ideas — you'll have friends of
varying degrees and types. The
key to the key to the Student
Union Board is involvement! So
come to a meeting and find out
how to get the most out of your
Student Union Board.
Meetings are every Monday,
6:16 p.m, in the Conference
Room, Lankford Student Union.
In an effort to reach out to you
and meet your entertainment and
leisure time needs we have put
together a survey soliciting your
ideas and input. These surveys
will be distributed through some
classes and will be available at
various locations around
campus. Results of the survey
will be sent to those participating
and will be available to all
students.
Interested persons are
welcome to attend our open
meetings or may contact Gwen

sculptors have been carved from

de Groot, 58, has worked at
Longwood a little more than a
year. A native of The Hague,
Netherlands — where the
International Court of Justice is
located — he served in the Dutch
underground during World War
II, as a teenager. He was
captured three times by the Nazi
occupying forces — he escaped
twice and once was turned over to
the Dutch authorities, who
released him. He immigrated to
the United States in 1960.
Since 1976 he has worked in
various positions for ARA,
including the food-service
operations at the University of
South Carolina and Georgia
Tech, and the Xerox mana-
gement training center in'
Leesburg. While a
chef at the Oklahoma City
Sheraton, he served presidents
John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson,
and Richard Nixon. He also has
served the leaders of more than
20 nations, including the Soviet
Union and China.
In addition to his duties as chef,
de Groot trains chefs and cooks in
ARA's Mid-Atlantic Region
under a pilot program.

polarizing their own campuses by

grants — community work that
may be too liberal for campus
conservatives, or too
conservative for campus liberals.
"Any president supporting
activism had better be very
careful that he doesn't offend one
group by supporting another,"
Gordon cautions.
Some students also are
skeptical.
"When I'm not at work, I'm
usually doing my homework,"
says l^sley Taylor, a freshman
at Michigan State. "I don't think
volunteering is going to be the
first thing on students' lists after
work and classes."
Already "there're tons of
organizations" for students to
join, says Taylor, who works in
MSU's Student Activities office.
"But I don't think many people
know about them."
Bi-weekly flyers advertising
the volunteer groups and
activities generally lie piled in
the corner of the office, Taylor
says.
"Yeah, that would be great,"
DePauw junior Vickie Wilson
says of her president's plans for
greater student involvement.
"But it won't work because
people here don't get involved."
President Rosser disagrees,
noting group fund-raisers have
involved as much as half
DePauw's students.

year visited every DePauw
resident hall and greek house to
encourage charity fund-raising
work, "I'll admit they didn't
jump at the idea," Rosser
recalls.
"But we used their competitive
spirit, saying 'the guys at Delta
House are doing something;
you've got to keep up.' We played
on their sense of public image,"
Rosser says.
Gordon also cites increasing
student activism, but gives credit
to the students rather than
administrators.
"Faculty and administrators
can influence students only when
they're ready to be influenced,"
he contends. "People got tired
after the intense protests of the
'60s.
"Increasingly, (admin-
istrators) will see
responsiveness. But not because
they're exhorting students, but
because students are ready.
' They've caught their breath and
are ready to become activists
again."

Lady Lancers basketball
player Caren Forbes has
received Player of the Week
honors from both the Mason-
Dixon Conference and l^ngwood
College, it was announced
Sunday.
Forbes had a pair of
outstanding performances last
week as Ix)ngwood beat Liberty
University in overtime 93-89
Tuesday and fell to Maryland
Baltimore County 78-74 Saturday
night.
A 5-6 junior guard, Forbes
scored 46 points for the week. She
had 26 points, six assists and six
steals against Liberty. In that
game also she canned 10 of 11 free
throws and scored six points in
overtime. Against UMBC
Saturday, Forbes added 20
points, six rebounds and three
assists.
EVEN STRAIGHT A'S CANT
HELP IF YOU FLUNK TUITION.
Today, the toughest thing about going
to college is finding the money to pay for it.
But Army ROTC can help — two
ways!
First, you can apply for an Army
ROTC scholarship. It covers tuition,
books, and supplies, and pays you
up to $1 ,000 each school year it's
in effect.
But even if you're not a
scholarship recipient,
ROTC can still nelp
with financial assis-
tance - u p to $ 1 ,000
a year for your
last two years in
the program.
For more
information,
contact your
Professor of
Military Science'
ARMY ROTC
BEALLYOUCANBE
Longwood's all-time career
assist leader with 349, Forbes has
been a double figure scorer in
each of her three seasons with the
Lady Lancers. She averaged 11.8
points as a freshman, 14.2 as a
junior and is currently scoring
13.2 points per contest.
Forbes ranks among the
leaders in the Mason-Dixon
Conference in scoring, assists
(5.0 average) and free throw
shooting (77.8 per cent ). With
over 900 career points, she is a
sure bet to end her career with
over 1,000 points and next season
could challenge Sue Rama (1,471
points) for the Lady Lancers'
career scoring leadership.

Lancers — 8 Of Last 9
Winning for the eighth time in
its last nine games, Longwood
beat Md. Baltimore County
Saturday night 63-60 to clinch
second place in the Mason-Dixon
Conference and a first round bye
in the league tournament
February 27 through March 1 at
UMBC.
Now 12-11 overall and 7-2 in the
conference, the lancers have
three regular season contests
remaining. After hosting NAIA
power Atlantic Christian
Monday, Longwood visits
nationally-ranked Mount St.
Mary's Saturday and hosts
Armstrong State next Monday
(Feb. 24). Should Longwood
defeat The Mount, it would at
least tie for first place in the
conference regular season race.

Seniors' Last Home Game
The Armstrong State contest
will mark the final home
appearance of five Longwood
seniors who have keyed this
year's success. Co-captains and
leading scorers lx)nnie I^wis and
Kenneth Fields and top reserves
Frank Tennyson, Dave Edwards,
and Lionell Ogburn will play their
last game in I.ancer Hall Monday
night. Game time is 8:00,
following the LC women's game
with Catholic at 6:00.
I^wis (1,366 pts., 232 rbs.) is
the third leading scorer in
longwood history and Fields (574
pts., 222 rbs.) one of the most
exciting players ever to wear the
Lancer Blue & White. Tennyson
(295 pts., 149 assists) Ogburn ( 189
pts., 69 rbs.) and Edwards (245
pts., 206 rbs.) have been solid
performers as reserves and part-
time starters.
Tennyson and Lewis have
played at Longwood four years,
Edwards three and Ogburn and
Fields two, after transferring in
as juniors. The senior class,
largest in Lancer basketball
history, will be recognized prior
to the Armstrong State-
Ix)ngwood tip-off.
Lewis' Free Throws Sink UMBC
l^wis scored 19 points and hit a
pair of free throws with 13 secons
left Saturday night at UMBC to
help the Lancers hold on for their
63-60 victory. Up 37-30 at the half,
Ix)ngwood fell behind by a point,
53-52 with 5:52 remaining, before
rallying behind Lewis, Quintin
Kearney and Fields.
Eric Pittman hit the front end
of a one-and-one to put Longwood
up 61-58 with 50 seconds left
before UMBC's Breck Robinson
rammed home a dunk just 14
seconds after the end. Robinson
had 22 points and 16 rebounds for
UMBC.
After Lewis was fouled
intentionally, he dropped in the
free throws to put the game out of
reach. The Retrievers got off a
final three-point attempt, but it
missed and Fields knocked the
rebound outside to Lewis.
longwood shot poorly from
both the floor (42.8 per cent) and
the line (60 per cent), but out-
rebounded the taller Retrievers
44-41. Kearney grabbed a career-
high 14 rebounds, Fields nine and
Kevin Ricks six to pace the
Lancets on the boards.
Fields scored but eight points
as his streak of 22 consecutive
double figure games came to an
end. In addition to 19 points from
Lewis, Kearney had 14, Pittman
11 and Ricks 8.
Longwood had dropped an 85-
84 double overtime decision at
Liberty University last Monday.
The defeat ended a seven-game
Lancer win streak. The Flames
battled back from an eight-point
deficit in the final 1:09 to tie the
game at 73-73 and won in the
second overtime. Liberty scored
10 three-point goals in the
contest.
Notes On The Lancers
— Lewis and Fields continue to
dominate the Mason-Dixon
Conference statistical races.
Lewis leads in scoring (18.6) and
free throw percentage (.875),
while Fields ranks third in
scoring (18.0), leads in field goal
percentage (.569) and is tied with
Kearney (7.4) for fifth in
rebounding. Lewis has now
reached double figures in 19
straight games.
— With at least four games still
to play, Lewis is 113 points behind
Joe Remar (1,479 points) among
Longwood's all-time leading
scorers. Lewis has an outside
chance of catching Remar and
moving into second place.
— Following the Armstrong
State game next Monday,
Longwood will play in the MDAC
Conference Tournament semi-
finals Friday, February 28 at
Maryland Baltimore County. The
Lancers will get a first round bye
along with Mount St. Mary's.
Winner of the MDAC Tournament
will receive an automatic berth in
the NCAA Division II
Tournament.

The Longwood gymnastics
team hosted a tri-meet Saturday
afternoon and finished second by
a mere .05 point. Georgia College
won the meet scoring l%.% wbUe
Longwood finished just behind
with 165.95. Trenton finished
third with 164.05.
"Beating Trenton puts us in a
better place for the NCAA
Division II Regionals, as that is
one of the schools who have a shot
of going," said Longwood Coach
Ruth Budd. "However we did not
score as well as we could have,
and little mistakes cost us first
place."
Lisa Zuraw led the Lancers,
now 4-6. The senior won the all-
around competition (34.2), and
the vaulting event (9.0), and tied
for first on bars (8.4). It was the
third time this season that Zuraw
scored at least 9.0 in vaulting.
Freshman Lynda Chenoweth
and Kim Booth also olaced for the
lancers. Booth finished third on
floor (A.55), : wbile Chenoweth
scored the second best I>ongwood
total in all-around (33.4) to finish
fourth. Senior Kelly Strayer

while competing for the second
time since returning from injury.

Longwood finished a distant
third in the NCAA Division II
Southern Regional Wrestling
Tournament Saturday at Liberty
University and the Lancers' top
two individual grapplers were
prevented from earning a trip to
nationals because of an
official's incompetence,
according to Lancer coach Steve
Nelson.
Liberty had 90% points,
Pembroke State 9OV4, Longwood
39 and Pfeiffer 26 in the team
finish. Lancers Pete Whitman
(142 pounds) and Billy Howard
(158 pounds) suffered close losses
in the finals.
Whitman, who ended the
season with 29 wins, beat Marks
of Pembroke 6-3 in the first
round. In his final match against
Pruett of Liberty, he lost a 3-2
decision when he was called for
stalling in the last 20 seconds.
Earlier, the official had failed to
give Whitman credit for a pair of
takedowns, according to coach
Nelson.
Howard beat Manley of Liberty
9-5 in his first round match and
was beating Cluchey of
Pembroke 4-3 until he was called
for staUing as the final buzzer
went off. He ended regulation at
4-4 and lost in overtime 4-1.
Howard ended the season with a
record of 19-8-1.
"It was probably the low point
of my coaching career to see two
of my wrestlers have a trip to
nationals taken away from them
by an official's incompetence,"
said Nelson. "I was really proud
of my guys. They kept their
composure."
Nelson explained that the two
officials who had been scheduled
to work the tournament never
showed up. In their place, two
substitute officials called the
matches. One was inexperienced
and the other was the public
address announcer for Liberty
who is a certified high school
official. The latter is the official
who refereed Whitman's and
Howard's match.
Nelson also protested a late
weigh-in by Liberty's Pruett
Friday night. The results of the
protest, which is being made to
the NCAA Division II Wrestling
Committee, will not be known
until later this week or early next
week.

Sting's Peace Initiative
Ever since the 1960's, many
folk and rock groups have at least
minimally included social and
political statements in their
music. As the Vietnam conflict
was resolved and civil rights
legislation was enacted, much of
the fire in young peoples' music
died. This signified an end for
many rock groups as weU as
political action groups. As the
1970's progressed people like the
Bee Gees and disco music in-
vaded the scene.
With a few exceptions, it wasn't
until the late '70's that a re-
emergence of socio-political
messages in popular music again
became popular.
Now, Pop Star Sting, in his
infinite wisdom, has written a
song about the superpower
conflict. The song "Russians" is
a sappy, idealistic, unrealistic,
uniformed, historically flawed
version of a moralistic attempt
by Sting to prey upon the
emotions of teenyboppers.
However, a December 1985
Gallop poll indicated that a
whopping 68 percent of the
population want Sting directly
involved in arms reduction talks.
Thirty-five percent of those
polled want Sting to run as vice
president with 600 club guru and
presidential hopeful Pat
Robertson.
When asked about his political
background. Sting, once a part-
time Longwood student, was
quoted as saying, "I got a C- in
Jinmiy Helms' Local Govern-
ment course which is danm
good." In his first meeting with
Russian leader Secretary Gor-
*«a»-
bachev. Sting said, "I just
couldn't take my eyes off that
crimson birthmark on his
forehead which is shaped like the
state of Maryland which is ironic
because Maryland is close to the
statue of Liberty."
Sting, who has an obvious
knowledge of world affairs, has
decided to sponsor a benefit
concert in Vienna, Virginia. Both
Reagan and Gorbachev will
attend and together sing
background vocals in the finale.
The show will also feature Nancy
Reagan singing the classic "I
Don't Know How to Love Him."
Monetary proceeds from the
concert will go to Reagan's and
Gorbachev's favorite charities.
Gorbachev has pledged his
portion of the loot to the Afghan
Relief Fund. Reagan's share will
go to the Senior Citizens of the
Screen Actors' Guild Both Sting looks on while Reagan and Gorbachav rehearse an Elvis
leaders acknowledge Stmg as classic.

Goodwin To Student Teach
On Space Shuttle
NASA has made the surprise
announcement that a student-
teacher will be the next visitor
aboard the space shuttle. Sarah
Goodwin, from Longwood, will be
the student teacher. A
spokesman for the Board of
Visitors said, "Oh yes, of course
Ms. Goodwin will pay com-
prehensive fees, after all the
space shuttle's orbits include 16
passes over Longwood's 52 acre
campus, this definitely con-
stitutes a 'usage' situation."
An unnamed member of the
board of visitors said, "It would
be outrageous to charge Ms.
Goodwin the full comprehensive
fees so we have developed a
special formula. Each orbit will
bring Goodwin over the 'wood for
about two seconds each, the fees
will run her about 10 bucks per
second, minus the 2 percent
Longwood Astronaut discounts
will have Ms. Goodwin paying
$316.00, instead of the usual
$365.00. The Visitor concluded,
"fair is fair," and "Longwood,
it's a nice place to visit."
NASA spokesdude. Bill Halley,
was asked why Longwood was
chosen as the school to sponsor
this new program. "Well, the
search started several years ago
at Harvard and Yale and we've
been working our way along, and
after the Challenger explosion . . .
we rounded her up at a Rush
party. She's quite a girl." Ms.
Goodwin speaks: "Risks are part
of life, I figure. I'm no stranger to
risks, I've been using the with-
drawal method since I was a kid.
Also, my mother was a pioneer of
sorts, she was the first astronaut
groupie depicted in "The Right
Stuff."
Mlkafl Gorbachav was spotted recently In Paris with a woridly
looking baseball cap. "Ve have no aspirations to rule de verld,"
Gorbachav announced sheepishly.

hell can't wine coolers come pre-
opened? Why can't the students
have a key to every building? We
hate people who don't trust us.
Why does lead in pencils get dull?
We think the post office should
stay open on Saturdays. Mail

It should never sit. Virginia State

they troop over, anyway? The

They spend all morning driving

Cowpie,
We have learned through
anonymous sources that on
September 17, 1985, a member of
your staff performed an illegal
act of cruelty. On that day
several Musca Domesticas were
hunted, stunned with a swatting
device, placed in a row and
tortured with a burning cigarette,
causing extreme pain and death.
Due to recent Virginia State
legislation, such acts of violence
as performed against the com-
mon housefly are illegal.
We are on to you and you will
soon be taking the big hit. We
trust proper assistance will be
given to our investigators as we
determine who on the Cowpie
staff was responsible for this
uncool act.

D.u*n.g* Announces
Challenge
ByO.L.TRYGEN
The Dining hall Union of Non-
Greeks has issued a challenge to
the Student body of the 'wood;
this project is aimed at keeping
the Blackmeal Dining hall tables
clean. I caught up with a DUNG
committee member plainly
known as "Gordo" at
McDonalds.
OF: The Blackmeal Dining hall
has been a mess for years;
Gordo, can you tell me what your
plan is?
Gordo: "First, let me say that
this GWPIE thing is funny as
shit. Youse guys are really goin'
places in dis world, yep. Now, the
Challenge. DUNG has for-
mulated this plan where the
students of the 'wood have one-
week to get their act together and
clean their crap off of the tables
when they are done eating. After
one week, if this is not done, the
Blackmeal staff will no longer
provide dishwashing service to
the students' plates and forks and
stuff. Picture this: You walk over
to the line and go to get a plate,
but they're all in a pile, dirty and
stuck together like. Isn't that
great? They're gorma have to pry
the things apart and then get
their food plopped on dirty plates.
It's gonna be great! What do you
think? gosh!
CP: Might just work. I un-
derstand that there is more to the
plan.
GORDO: Yea, there is. We call
the plan "Escalating — gross-
out."
It was first put to work at
Mecklinburg Prison. Each week,
if the students continue to act like
a bunch of slobs, the plan calls for
increased disgust. During the
second week, the food will be
served raw. So you get to put cold
food on dirty plates. The third
week calls for a layoff of 50
percent of Blackmeal workers
since the only real service
provided is unloading the trucks
and setting the food crates in the
dining hall. Like you'll have to
dip your cup into an open crate to
get milk!"
CP: The 4th week?
Gordo: That's when we really
get 'em. We start cooking again
and serve the same old food!
Whaddaya think? Whaddaya
think?

Lines have been a very
prominent part of man's life
since the beginning of time. Even
the cavemen stood in line for a
piece of Saber-tooth Tiger meat.
Here at Longwood, students
experience lines in every aspect
of their daily lives. Here is a list
of lines that we encounter:
(1) The Dining HaU Line
If you get to the dining hall
early, you are smashed up
against the door, if you get there
late, you are backed up to about
the L«inkford Building.
After you are in, you must
present that wonderful thing that
the administration has bestowed
upon you, The Longwood
Identification Card. After you are
clicked in and the card is thrown
back at you (you get good at
catching that sucker after a
while), you continue through the
line. When you reach the
silverware, you check it for any
technical difficulties, such as
missing prongs or handles. Then
they have to run out of food right
when you get there.
(2) The Bookstore Line
Ah, yes, at the beginning of
each semester, we must
encounter the bookstore line.
Standing in lines for hours,
forking out your life savings. You
can do some of these things to
keep you occupied:
— balance your checkbook and
realize you are already
overdrawn ninety dollars. Oh
well, you didn't need that biology
book anyway.
— count the dots on the floor
and the tiles on the ceiling.
— file your nails
— bite your nails
— read all the dirty cards
(3) Hie Mixer Line
The mixer line is like herding
cattle. In this line you are
stamped, hole-punched, clicked
and branded. If you aren't of age,
you don't drink or you use
someone else's ID, like your
grandmother's. After you are
finally in with your branded
Mickey Mouse stamp, you get
into the assembly line. The first
stop is the beer — prepare
yourself for a three hour wait.
After you have your beer, the
assembly line lets you off at the
dance floor. You are asked to
dance by a geek with body odor in
your abnormal psych class.
Then, back into the line. The next
pitstop is the bathroom.
Now, be sure to smile at the
nice policeman who is standing
there. Sometimes, you wonder if
they have ever snagged anyone,
(they certainly can't snag a
football). Then, wait in line for
the bathroom for another three
hours.
Oh well, next time you find
yourself in this horrible
predicament, there is only one
thing to do - BUTT IN UNE

It's Funny, And True!
Kampus Kop Stake Out
Turns (Sweet And) Sour
Did you ever sit back in class
and wonder where teachers learn
the stuff that they know? I'm not
talking about how to project to
the class, the use of eye catching
visual aids, or even their broad
knowledge of many pertinent
issues (and some that aren't so
important — like that Sir Thomas
Crapper's claim to fame is the
first flush toilet). Of course, I'm
talking about how some teachers
have the ability to write notes on
the chalkboard with one hand
while simultaneously erasing
those notes with the other hand.
If you haven't, think about it for
a second. And while you're
thinking about it, think about
some of these:
— How can teachers lecture,
reading from a book, and walk
around the entire room — first,
without tripping over a damn
thing; and second, still know
exactly what is going on in every
aspect of the classroom (like
who's falling asleep or just plain
not paying attention — "Mr.
Johnson — would you care to
comment on that, please?")
Regardless of that, how can they
back up towards the board while
reading out of a book, always
stopping just inches from getting
reamed by the comer of their
desk? Always!
— One teacher once said that
teaching was the only job he
knew where the client actually
wants you to work less. What
about going to the dentist or being
in court? Or going to the proc-
tologist — hernia specialist —
any doctor in general? or reading
the Rotunda (well, screw them —
they aren't paying us).
— What about the way they
dress? Who designs their ward-
robes — Bamum and Bailey?
Just because you know which foot
to put your socks on (as they have
permanent toe imprints from
being worn four days in a row)
doesn't mean you can't change
them. Just put a big "L" on the
one where the toes (from left to
right) read smallest to largest
and an "R" on the other one.
— Getting back to erasing. Why
do some teachers spend a good
ScmcH
Th\s cocker
ten or twenty minutes erasing the
board from the class period
before and some teachers just
breeze quickly over the board
leaving lines than continue to
drive you crazy for the rest of the
class (hence, no notes taken that
day!)
— Speaking of no notes (or no
clue while we're at it), did you
ever notice that if you ask a
question that a teacher doesn't
understand, they still have a way
of answering it that is so totally
unrelated that half the students
shake their heads affirmatively
so that they don't look dumb.
("Hey, did you understand what
he just said?" "What?"). More
often than not, the answer is so
effective that the student never
asks another question — ever!
— By the way, who makes up
their office hours? It absolutely
astounds me how they know when
every one of their students have
class so they can offer their
services during those times. Why
do they even bother making them
up? To make us all neurotic?
Well, I'm not going to college for
nothing — I always look for
another teacher who's in their
office thinking that nobody is
going to come by and ask them a
totally unrelated question. Nine
times out of ten, I usually get the
answer I was looking for . . .

In a stunning turn of events, the
Campus Police allowed a vicious
criminal to slip away from their
"long arms" late last week. The
story unfolds . . .
Cowpie investigative reporters
have discovered that a full-force
stake-out was set-up last Friday
in order to catch a hardened
criminal. A policeman, wishing
to be unnamed said, "Things
were going very well, we had
everyone quiet and well hid
behind some bushes, the 'shhhh-
ing' was down to a minimum.
Suddenly, two of the newer
officers came up from behind,
talking and carrying on. The
idiots brought hamburgers and
beer and stuff!"
Apparently the officers had
become confused and believed
that the "stake-out" was actually
a "steak-out."
The Kampus Kops would not
reveal at this time anything
about the suspect they were
trying to catch. However one high
level official did say that the
suspect in fact was, Stu Dent,
number 1 on the Kampus Kops
most wanted list. "This man is a
master, nabbing this booger will
really solve some problems, that
slime ball," the unnamed official
rampaged. Dent is the guy who
parks along blue curbs, areas
reserved for faculty only.

SEVENTEEN
Intellects' Vs. 'Strivers'
PALO ALTO, CA. (CPS) - Are
women on campus more
"intellectual" than men?
"Yup," says a random sample
of Stanford students.
According to the survey,
females classified as
"intellectuals" outnumber males
classed as intellectuals by a two-
to-one margin.
"It's obviously not a
representative sample. However,
I don't think they (Stanford
students) are different than
students at other major research
institutions," explains Herant
Katchadourian, who conducted
the study along with colleague
John Boli.
Stanford students were asked
to fill out a questionnaire on their
course plans and their attitudes
about what they are studying.
Depending on their answers
students were classified as
"intellectual," "careerist,"
"strivers" or "unconnected."
While "careerist" men tended
to ignore liberal arts courses,
"intellectual" women often took
a substantial number of liberal
arts courses, and maintained an
interest in careers.
"I am not surprised by the
Stanford findings," says Barbara
Hetrick, dean of Academic
Affairs at Hood College in
Maryland.
"I would expect more women
to have humanistic values and to
be more likely to seek knowledge
for knowledge's sake," she says.
Hetrick herself recently
finished a study of how Hood's
predominantly female student
body changed its political and
social views after going through
four years of the school's liberal
arts curriculum.
Hetrick found seniors were
considerably less materialistic
than they had been as freshmen,
that they were more concerned
about community welfare and
developing a general philosophy
of life.
She found out by administering
to Hood students the same survey
given by the American Council on
Education to some 200,000
freshmen nationwide.
On a national scale, the ACE
survey — created by UCLA and
released in January — found
beginning college freshmen are
more materialistic than their
predecessors.
The Stanford survey defined
"strivers" as strongly motivated
toward careers and intellectual
pursuits. They tend to come from
lower economic backgrounds
than other students.
"Unconnected" students
generally come either from very
high or low social status families.
"Intellectuals" usually come
from families of high
socioeconomic status, and their
fathers often hold advanced
degrees.
"Careerists" are from a wide
array of backgrounds, but often
have parents who emphasize
career success.
While Stanford students
changed categories throughout
the four-year period they were
observed, radical changes were
rare, Katchadourian explains.
While a "striver" might
become an "intellectual", or a
"careerist" could become a
"striver," rarely would an
"intellectual" become a
"careerist" or vice versa.
Moreover, it was unconunon
for "strivers" to become
"unconnected," Katchadourian
says.
While Hood students changed
their attitudes, Hetrick
speculates they might be pre-
disposed toward more
humanistic values than students
at large state universities.
Fireside Chat
By MELISSA CLARK
On Feb. 20, 1986 at 7:30 p.m.,
students and faculty, as the
guests of Dr. Janet D.
Greenwood, participated in a
"Fireside Chat" at Longwood
House. Dr. Maria C. Milan
Silveira, Associate professor in
the department of English,
Philosophy and Foreign
Languages, presented a program
entitled "Cuba — Before and
After the Communists." Dr.
Silveira was introduced by her
daughter, Jenny, who is a
freshman at Longwood. Dr.
Silveira graduated valedictorian
of her class and at 17 she got a
gold medal in the Olympics for
the 100 meter dash representing
Cuba. She then went to the
Normal School for Teachers and
graduated with honors. While in
school she attended the
Conservatory of Music. In 1956,
Dr. Silveira was awarded
Teacher of the Year in her
providence. In 1962, she decided
she wanted freedom from the
communists so she left Cuba and
came to the U.S.
In 1964, she became a member
of Longwood's faculty. During
her summer vacations from
Longwood she attended Stephen
Austin University in Texas and in
1969 she received her masters
from SAU. She returned to school
at the University of Virginia in
1980. In 1984 she once again
received Teacher of the Year
award, this time from the state of
Virginia. Next month, Dr.
Silveira's new book entitled
"Juan Carlos Onetti and His
Context" will be coming off the
press.
Although Dr. Silveira came to
the U.S. from Cuba to seek
freedom she still has the greatest
love for her homeland. She
explained during her lecture that
Cuba used to have most of the
same freedoms that we have in
America. However, Cuba has
changed drastically over the
years and its future now remains
uncertain. Dr. Silveira implied
that it is important for people to
have a knowledge of Cuba and its
present situation.
Mock Disaster Keeps Everyone Ready, Willing And Able
By MATT PETERMAN
About 3 weeks ago, the town of
Farmville decided to stage a
mock disaster. Since the best
place to have the disaster,
seemed to be the tallest building
in Farmville, the college was
contacted. Under the
coordination of Donald Lemish,
the Vice President for
Institutional Advancement, and
Phyllis Mable, the Vice President
for Student Affairs, a plan was
put into place.
This plan consisted of getting 15
people from the 9th floor and 15
from the 10th floor. They were to
participate as the injured in the
disaster, and be rescued by the
various fire departments.
Getting dressed up, as to give the
effect of an authentic disaster,
the stage was set, and soon the
fire alarm in Curry went off.
The alarm went off at 2:30 p.m.
this past Sunday afternoon. The
building soon became empty as
people rushed out of the building,
except for those injured in the
disaster. The air raid alarm was
sounded, calling all fire
departments to come as quickly
as they could.
The first to arrive, was
Farmville fire engine, with a
cherry picker attached to its
back. As it hooked up its hoses,
many ambulances arrived, and
started to take out their gear.
More rescue squads arrived, as
the area echoed, with radios and
sirens.
Police lines were established,
and only Police and Fire
personnel were being allowed to
enter. At this time many rescue
personnel were now at every
corner around Curry, hooking up
fire hoses to various hydrants, in
order to get water, to what could
be a burning building, while
others kept alert. With the water
flowing, the Fire Departments
could now put out any fire.
While this was going on, the
cherry picker was now in
operation. It reached over to the
2nd floor window and rested on
the overhang. The firemen
attempted to open the window,
but it proved to be very difficult,
seeming like it would never open.
They then iook a ladder in
attempt to reach a 3rd story
window, but it was too short.
They then retrieved an ax and
broke the 2nd story and cleared it
free of glass. Supplies, such as
oxygen tanks and tools, were then
fed into the window.
More Fire Departments from
different places and counties
arrived and proceeded to hook up
their fire hoses. At this time,
about 40 minutes after the alarm,
the mock injured began to come
out of the building. After being
carried down many flights of
stairs, they were put into
ambulances and taken to the
hospital.
At this point the Farmville Fire
Department, tested their cherry
picker, towering it 8 floors
parallel to the Curry residence
hall. The mock disa.ster began to
wind down after this. A mere V/2
hours of hard, but slow work
came to an end with many
results.
According to Dave Johnson, the
R.A. on the 10th floor of Curry,
"the whole point of this was to
find the mistakes, .so if it should
happen, they would be
prepared." He also added that,
"it did accomplish its goals," and
because of this it was a
"success." As one by.stander
commented, "it seemed that the
Fire Departments were slow and
clumsy, and I'm relieved to know
that in the case of a real disaster;
it could now be taken care of
more efficiently."

Cowpie Stepped On
Dear Mr. Editor:
Let me start by saying that I
thought last weelt's issue of The
Rotunda was one of the best I had
ever read. The "Cowpie" section
had some very clever things in it
and most of the pieces were
extremely funny.
I did, however, have a problem
with the picture of the space
shuttle. The attached caption was
in very poor taste as I saw it.
Seven people died on that thing
and I don't think we should be
making jokes about the tragedy.
Iin sure I'm not the only person
on this campus with this view.
I believe from now on we need
to police ourselves a little more
and really think about the
consequences of certain things
when they are put into print. The
bit about Rock Hudson probably
rubbed a few people the wrong
way also. I, however, did not
really have a problem with that
because my views on
homosexuals are basically the
.same as Garth Wentzel's.
Thanks for listening. I really
felt the need to say something
this week.
Stuart Hallett
To The Editor:
I don't know exactly who I can
take my frustrations out on. So I
guess that you will do. This letter
concerns your cowpie articles
concerning the Space Shuttle
Challenger. I feel that whoever
would write something so
immature and stupid about such
a tragedy is a complete
+10xj!?n+! If all they have to do
is sit around and make fun of
people dying, then their butts
have no business here! I feel that
someone has a lot of growing up
to do, and furthermore if this
paper gets off on such stupid
articles, then it is just as low as
the person who wrote the article.
If your mom, father, husband,
wife, etc., dies tomorrow in an
explosion as terrible as the
Shuttle's explosion was, I hope
that THEN you will write
another article making fun of
their death. (To whoever wrote
the article)
Thoroughly disappointed
and angry,
Natalie Puryear
P.S. I'm sure most people will
agree that the article was
tasteless and tacky.
To the students of Longwood:
Even though Cowpie is
suppo.sed to be a humorous
"lampoon" section of the
Rotunda, we do honor our
statements. In saying so, we
would like to recognize the one
brave sole who actually read our
.scavenger hunt article and
persued the matter to such an
extent that one of the precious
articles was located. This brave
soul actually hpd the gaul,. to
bblain < no,' 23Vr"A't«ilJ^ of Kic
Weibl saying, 'I don't care — you
can do anything you want to
do.' " Ric may pick up his prize
at the Rotunda office. Please be
assured that the tape has been
destroyed.

P.S. We're still looking for the
Porsche 928 turbo!
Raio's
Rudeness
To the Editor,
I found the treatment meted
out to Dr. Webber's letter (dated
February the 18th) extremely
offensive and in very poor taste.
The way in which the editor of
this newspaper has reacted to
readers' letters in the past has
always left a lot to be desired. But
this was definitely a case of going
overboard in the haste for
slandering and insulting a
respected member of the faculty.
I just hope that Mr. Raio
improves his style a bit and does
not subject us poor readers to his
particular brand of "quasi-
witticism" too often. I, however,
do understand that this tabloid is
trying to emulate the National
Enquirer and the New York Daily
News. So asking for just "plain"
news might be a bit too much.
Nadeem A. Kizilbash
Judicial Board Comments
To the Editor,
Upon a recent sit in on a
Longwood College Judicial Board
Hearing, I have a few comments.
Being an unbiased student — I
feel for both sides. My quarrel is
not with the participants or
verdict, my questions concern
the procedures. The Judicial, as
well as Honor, Board is a
prestigious and authoritative
body, but their regulations seem
absurd! The hearing is virtually
a court case, comeplete with
judge - chairman, jury - board
members, tape recorder,
defendant - accused, plaintiff,
and witnesses - all of which
(excluding the accused) were
required to leave after and in
between testimonies. The actual
hearing procedures follow the
standard court procedures -
identification of people,
verification of charges,
questioning and testimony
between the persons involved.
What is missing, and my
questions concern is:
( 1 ) the lack of council allowed
in the hearing — how is the
accused who is nervous and upset
to clearly think of all options
without council to aid them?
(2) conditions of the
courtroom — how can decisions

be made in hot, small, cramped
rooms which everyone is dying to
get out of?
(3) questioning and testimony
procedures — does the accused
not have right to follow leads and
explanations without being
interrupted and told "that's
irrelevant" — how does the
judge-jury know a statement is
irrelevent until the statement has
been heard?
(4) VA state laws were
involved in part of this particular
hearing, yet the officer's actions
were unlawful according to VA
state law, but "lawful" under
Longwood College student
Handbook rights.
My quarrel is not with
inadequate procedures each is
required to follow! I'd hardly say
the hearing I witnessed was
fair, though I don't believe the
blame rests on the Board. The
blame rests on the ridiculous
rules and procedures used during
such events. I strongly urge
Judicial Board supervisors to re-
evaluate their procedures. Help
the Judicial Board to adequately
form their function with pride.
And, help the students to a fair
and "innocent until proven
guilty" hearing!

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1986 THE ROTUNDA Page 3
By DEBORAH L. SHELKEY
Economics instructor,
Gilbert Mundela informs
students of underground
economy — the abuse of cocaine.
Mundela uses this concrete
example that is "mining the
economy" to help students grasp
abstract issues. Citizens cannot
ignore these issues; one must
talk about the problems of society
to solve them. This talk tact
should not offend students, but
help to break the "barrier
between the students and
teacher." One "must use
realities to explain what is going
on in the world."
Mundela believes students
should have positive attitudes
about learning. If a student
claims he dislikes a subject, it is
probably because he does not
understand it. "Everyone should
expand knowledge of a subject
that he finds boring." Mundela
admits he used to hate History
until he researched the topics
that concerned him. "The world
changes everyday, one needs to
be informed and address the
main issues."
Residing in the states for about
six years, this native from Africa
has many ambitions for life after
Ix)ngwood. Mundela plans to
leave Longwood in May after
teaching on campus for 2 years.
Receiving his Masters degree in
May in Economics, Mundela is
changing his concentration to
finance as he turns to working for
his Ph.D. This economics
professor believes he has
established a "bridge" between
his home country and the States,
but he merrily says: "Home is
where you are happy."
Laughingly, Mundela
remembers working nightshift as
a desk clerk at 7-11. He spends his
free time jogging, swimming,
and playing soccer. Sometimes
Mundela grabs a chicken
.sandwich from Wendy's or a
Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza
Hut or perhaps he visits French
restaurants in Richmond. He
tells me, "Americans eat too
many sweets."
Music's role allows freedom for
thought. Reggae "gives a
transitional message" and
"soukous" ("mellow music")
soothes the intellect. "Rumba" is
African and fills a gap of feelings
for home. Jazz, Blues, and
Country relax this teacher as he
unwinds from the day. Mundela
also unwinds by penning. After
much searching in drawers,
under books and scattered papers
he uncovers a manila folder
containing his poetry. "To
Mother," and a line from another
— "We made rainbows in the
sand," caught a tear and a smile.
An analogy of Gilbert
Mundela's, expressed his feelings
of relations between other
countries and its people. "A dog
uses a tree a nudge an itch on his
back, but humans turn to other
humans to scratch and soothe the
itch. People who work and appeal
together build a better society."
People need to show more
interest in the other rather than
the "small box." The television
controls the mind, one should
read and discuss with others.

The Longwood Am-
bassador's Community Ser-
vice Project this year was
Channel 23's Great TV Auction.
The Great TV Auction is the only
live televised showcase of
businesses in our viewing area. It
lasts for nine days and is
approximately 57 hours long. The
Auction is necessary to raise
funds for Channel 23 by
promoting area businesses. The
success of the Auction depends
on the support of the business
community for donations such as
merchandise, services, and cash
in return for unique television
exposure. Many civic leaders,
celebrities and other familiar
faces will describe and display
items on-air during Auction
Week. The audience bids from
their own homes.
The funds raised by the auction
go toward the general operating
fund. The operating funds are
used to support station
operations, station program
activities, and to purchase
programming such as "MacNeil-
Lehrer" "Newshours,"
"Nature," "Sesame Street,"
"Wall Street Week," and many
others. Farmville night will be

Players Stage "Man Of LaMancha
99
For centuries, readers have
been intrigued with the Don
Quixote story. When life "seems
lunatic", can an individual,
armed with idealism and the
desire to create a better world,
really make any impact on the
degradation of the human
condition? This powerful
question is answered
affirmatively in the current
Longwood production of "Man of
La Mancha" opening February
27 and running through March 1
at 8:00 p.m. in Jarman
Auditorium.
For Thomas A. Williams, who
portrays Don Quixote in the
production, the character of
Quixote has always carried a
deeply personal message. The
actor states that "playing
Quixote was a turning point in my
life — a reminder to look for the
good and to accept others and
myself as we truly are." The
actor believes that "it is only
when one starts accepting the
good in themselves that he starts
to change. Often it takes an
outside force to be the catalyst
for this change."
The play is set in a Spanish
prison during the 1500's. For the
prisoners, the catalyst for
positive change enters when the
author, Cervantes, is thrust
among them to await his
appearance before the
Inquisition. Habitually, the
prisoners rob a newcomer of all
his possessions; but Cervantes
defends his right to keep his
manuscript of the as-yet-
unpublished Don Quixote story by
involving the prisoners in a
dramatization of the life of his
"mad knight." As the prisoners
become more and more engaged
in their first experience with
acting and more inclined to judge
themselves "not for what they
are, but for what they might
become," a tremendous increase
in self-esteem occurs. By the
time Cervantes is actually
summoned to face his ordeal
before the Inquisition, there is a
more positive spirit among the
murderers, thieves, and ruffians.
The cast of the Longwood
production is as varied as the
prisoners they portray, and the
production features both the
college and community actors.
Williams, in the role of Quixote, is
a member of the Longwood Music
Department faculty and is known
for his vocal performances with
the Atlanta and Richmond
symphonies as well as for his
portrayal of Don Quixote in the
Dogwood Dell production several
years ago. Susan R.
Mondschein, playing the role of
Aldonza-Dulcinea, is known to
area audiences for her portrayal
of Anna in the Buckingham
Touring Company's production of
"The King and I", Yente in
"Fiddler on the Roof", and Irene
Malloy in the Waterworks'
"Hello, Dolly". She is chairman
of the English Department at
Buckingham County High School
and, currently, instructs the
vocal classes for Project Mark in
Buckingham County. Robert
Henkel, Sancho Panza, is
employed at Dinwiddle's
Department of Social Services
but has previously participated in
Longwood's theatre offerings as
Tulsa in "gypsy". Musical
theatre is his love, and he has
appeared in "The Pirates of
Penzance" and "Amahl and the
Night Visitors". In the dual role
of Sampson Carrasco and the
Junlors,Seniors & Grads...

FREE SAMPLE COPIES of
texts, sent to professors by
publishers, are being sold for a
profit by the professors — and the
publishers must charge students
more to compensate for the lost
revenue. The problem has
become serious in the past five or
six years. According to the
Association of American
Publishers: "It's a $60 million a
year business and growing.
FIVE CHICKENS FELL TO
THEIR DEATHS when two U. of
Alberta agriculture students
tossed them off a second floor
balcony during an Engineering
Week rally, according to the
Canadian University Press. The
students thought the chickens
would land safely because
chickens can fly short distances.
The prank was intended "to
maintain the ongoing rivalry
between the agis and engineers."
THE ASSASSIN GAME wasn't
a lot of fun for a Michigan State
U. student who found himself
looking down the pistol barrels of
two campus police officers. The
student was stalking his "victim"
in her residence hall with a toy
gun when an RA spotted him,
mistook him for a real criminal,
and phoned the police. One
officer says he is "frightened" by
how close such incidents come to
causing a serious accident.
SNEAKING THROUGH
STEAM TUNNELS that connect
several buildings at the U. of New
Brunswick (Canada), a dozen
students raided a student union
storage room and made off with
more than $1,000 worth of beer.
The students will be required to
make full restitution, and to
perform 20 hours of service to the
university.
THE SEI^CTIVE SERVICE
SYSTEM will begin cros.s-
checking draft registration
records with computerized

colleges and universities.
A FOOD FIGHT at Clemson U.

violatingThe U. S. Constitution,

Secretary of Education
William Bennett claims the de-
cision furthers his plans to allow
parents to use public money to
send children to religious or other
private schools.
Civil rights watchdogs, on the
other hand, say the court worded
its decision in a way that will
leave intact the effective
separation of church and state.
The question was whether the
Washington Department of
Services for the Blind could aid
I.arry Witters, who wanted to use

are free to choose their courses.
Since the state didn't require
Witters to use the money for
religious instruction, his choice
wasn't "a state endorsement of
religion," the court ruled.
In praising the decision,
Bennett said the ruling supported
his proposal to create education
vouchers, which students can use
to attend any school.
Now, the government awards
money directly to schools, which
use it to education whomever
shows up for classes. Under the
voucher system — which critics
say would get the government
into the business of supporting
church schools — students who
didn't want to go to public schools
could "pay" for private
instruction by using "vouchers."
Though the court decided state
aid to Witters wasn't a "direct
subsidy" to a religious school, it
sent the case back to the
Washington Supreme Court to
decide if it is "an excessive
government entanglement with
religion."
The American Civil liberties
Union, though unhappy about the
decision, downplayed its
repercussions.
"Though we'd like to see that
federal funds aren't used for
religious education, period, this
ruling will have only limited
effects," says ACLU spokesman
Charles Sims.
"The decision was meant to
apply to a higher education
situation in which funds were
intended to reach broadly and
weren't specified for religious
education. So the court only
created a small situation in which
government money can be used
(for religious purposes).
Other colleges have been busy
grappling with religious issues in
recent weeks, too.
Texas state schools now are
awaiting a state attorney
general's ruling whether it can
offer students bible courses
taught by teachers who are paid
by private church groups, not by
the universities.
And last week, the University
of Southern California decided to
delete an allusion to Jesus Christ
from its diplomas.
The words "Our Lord" will be
edited from the phrase "The
Year of Our Ix)rd" on all
diplomas, primarily to satisfy the
.sensitivities of Jewish and other
students who don't accept
Christian theology.
But convocation Chairman Dr.
Gerald Fleischer says the
deletion hasn't calmed the
controversy completely.
"They say the date is still a
Christian date. You can't escape
the implication of A.D., or Anno
Domini (meaning 'year of our
lord' in Latin)."
Douglas Lytle, editor of the
USC Daily Trojan, adds "some
people suggested substituting
'the' for 'our,' so the diploma
reads 'year of the lord.' That way
people can think of whatever lord
they want to."
Gymnasts To Host Meet
By JIM WINKLER
The Longwood gymnastics
team will compete in its final
home meet of the season
Saturday afternoon when it hosts
the Virginia State Meet at lancer
Hall at 2:00. Radford, James
Madison and William & Mary will
join Longwood in the tourney.
Radford won last year's event,
scoring 170.25.
The Lancers raised their
record to 8-8 Saturday afternoon
when they finished in second
place in the Towson Invitational.
William & Mary and Towson tied
for first in the meet with 173.70.
Longwood took home the second
place plaque with 164.9 and was
followed by Bridgeport, 161.45,
UMBC 159.5, George Washington,
158.85 and Hofstra, 152.90.
Lisa Zuraw was the only
Lancer to place in any event. The
senior tied for second in vaulting
(9.0). It was the fourth time this
year Zuraw scored at least 9.0 in
that event. Zuraw had
Longwood's top bars score as
well (8.7) and finished with the
second best Lancer all-around
score (32.0). Freshman Lynda
Chenoweth had the top Longwood
all-around score (32.45) and
finished tenth overall.
"The meet put us in a good po-
sition to make the NCAA Division
II Regionals," said Longwood
Head Coach Ruth Budd. "Our
average team score is up to. about
165, .so we're in good shape."
Budd also noted she was parti-
cularly pleased with her team's
performance on floor. "We
.scored well on floor, and I think it
was the highest we've scored as a
team on that event all year, " .said
the Ix)ngwood coach. Budd added
that Longwood really had
troubles on bars in the meet, and
that's what hurt them.
The Virginia State Meet
Saturday at Lancer Hall will give
Ix)ngwood a chance to seek
revenge on a couple of .state
rivals. Longwood defeated James
Madison earlier this year, but
lost to Radford and William &
Mary. After the State Meet, the
Lancers close their regular
season at Auburn March 8.

Mason-Dixon Tournament To Begin Intramural Update
Longwood's women's
basketball team, 1-7, 7-16, will
play in the opening round of the
first-ever Mason-Dixon Women's
Tournament on the University of
Pittsburgh-Johnstown campus at
7:30 Thursday night against
Liberty University. Longwood
concluded its regular season
Monday night against Catholic
University.
Friday night. Paced by Melanie
I^e's 28 points and 9 rebounds,
the Lady Lancers had possession
of the ball with three seconds left
and a chance to send the game
into overtime.
An in-bounds pass which was a
little too high forced Annette
Easterling to waste two seconds
retrieving the ball. The
sophomore guard was able to get

The Lady Lancers, who split
with the Liberty during the
season, won a coin flip Sunday
and are seeded fourth after tying
the l^dy Flames for fifth place in
the regular season standings.
Winner of Thursday's contest will
play conference champ Mount St.
Mary's (8-0, 21-1) Friday night at
6:30. Pitt-Johnstown (6-2, 18-7)
will play Maryland Baltimore
County (4-4, 20-8) in the other
semi-final.
The championship game will be
played Saturday night at 7:30.
Mount St. Mary's has an NCAA
bid just about sewed up whether
or not it wins the tournament.
In its most recent action
Longwood came up with one of its
best efforts of the season, falling
to UPJ 87-85 in Lancer Hall
off a hurried shot, but it was off
the mark as the buzzer sounded.
Easterling scored 12 points and
handed off seven assists in
perhaps her top performance of
the season. The 5-4 eager has
played well since moving into the
starting lineup February 15.
Lee canned 14 of 17 shots from
the floor to score her game-high
28 points. She did not attempt a
free throw. Caren Forbes added
14 points and 9 assists, Sandy
Rawdon 10 points, Beth Ralph 13
points, and Karen Boska 8 points
and 8 rebounds.
In a game that was close
throughout, Pitt-Johnstown
managed a 45-44 lead at the half.
Longwood hit 38 of 76 shots from
the floor (50 per cent), but made 9
of 15 free throws compared to
UPJ's 21 of 28.
"We did a real good job Friday
night, especially on defense,"
said Lady Lancer coach Shirley
Duncan. We were much more
patient offensively and were able
to get the ball inside. We've been
working on this and that work is
beginning to pay dividends.
"Our game with Liberty in the
tournament will be a toss-up.
We'll have to play real good
defense, go to the boards and be
patient on offense if we expect to
win. In tournament play over the
past two seasons we have had a
habit of losing in the first round
and coming back in the
consolation bracket. We're
concentrating on winning our
first game in the Mason-Dixon
Tournament."
Lee Forbes
Honored
Longwood scoring and
rebounding leader Melanie i^ee

dishing off 5 assists per contest.
She became the seventh player in
Longwood history to score 1,000
career points last week, and
ranks among the conference
leaders in scoring, assists and
free throw shooting.
Mount St. Mary's ranked 5th
in Division II and 8-0 in the
league's regular season,
garnered top honors in the
conference. Mount coach Bill
Sheahan was picked as "Coach of
the Year" while Mount guard

Longwood ^Outdepthed'
Mount St. Mary's used its
superior depth and height to wipe
out a 35-29 halftime deficit and
beat Longwood 83-65 Saturday
night in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
The Mount, with a 51-20 edge in
rebounds and 27 offensive
caroms, scored on eight straight
possessions near the start of the
second half to take a 43-39 edge.
The rally really took off when
Longwood center Quintin
Kearney went to the bench with
his fourth foul. The 6-6 junior
scored eight points on 8-10 free
throw shooting before fouling out.
He played a total of 21 minutes
and 30 seconds and failed to score
in the second half.
Senior co-captian Kenneth
Fields scored 18 of his 22 points in
the second half to keep I^ongwood
within striking distance until the
last few minutes when The
Mount's depth really showed.
Fields added 6 rebounds, 4
assists, 3 blocked shots and 2
steals.
Lancer Lonnie Lewis cooled off
after scoring 14 points in the first
half with two 3-point field goals.
Lewis managed just one field
goal after intermission for 16
points. One of his 3-pointers
came with three seconds left in
the first half.
Guard Kevin Ricks had another
fine all-around game with seven
points (all on free throws), 4
assists, 2 blocked shots and 3
steals.
Mount St. Mary's, now 23-3
overall, got 23 points, 9 rebounds,
8 assists and 3 steals from MDAC
Player of the Year Paul Edwards
who topped the 1,000 point mark
for his career. Mike Grimes, a 6-
10 sophomopp^.h^d, 14 rebounds
and 8 points Itnd George Young
added 12 points.
The Mount's whopping rebound
edge provided 81 shot attempts
compared to 39 for I^ongwood.
While MSM had 36 field goals to
LC's 18, the I^ancers canned 27 of
37 free throws compared to the
home team's 10-17.
Coach Luther felt his team put
forth a good effort Saturday
night.
"They (The Mount) really wore
us down in the second half when
their size and depth came into
play," .said the coach. "We
played well despite the loss. I
doubt if anyone this season has
held them under 30 points and
been up by six at the half. I think
we can put this game behind us
and concentrate on the
tournament."
MDAC Tourny
This is the first year that the
MDAC Tournament winner will
receive on automatic berth in the
playoffs. It gives the tournament,
in its third year, a new look.
"Having the bid to shoot for
makes a lot of difference from a
coaching and an incentive
standpoint," said lancer Coach
Cal Luther. "Our kids are well
aware of the possibility of
receiving a bid. The fact that we
split with Mount St. Mary's
during the regular season gives
us some confidence. Now we have
a chance to play them again on a
neutral floor if we both get past
Friday night.
"I'm definitely concerned
about us looking past the semi-
finals. We are a team that has to
work hard all the time to be
successful. I know we'll have oui
hands whether we play Liberty or
Pitt-Johnstown."

Fields^ Lewis Honored As Tourney Begins
Ix)ngwood senior co-captians
I^onnie I^wis and Kenneth Fields
have been voted to the AU-Mason-
Dixon Conference men's
basketball first team by the
bague coaches, it was announced
Sunday afternoon by the MDAC
Publicity Office.
I^wis (18.4 pts.) and Fields
( 18.2 pts., 7.1 rbs. ) rank two-three
in the league scoring race and
have reached double figures in 24
of I.«ngwood's 25 games. The
.senior duo were the ringleaders
of a Lancer team which
rebounded from a 4-10 start to
win nine of its last 11 games and
notch second place in the league
standings.
In addition to his scoring, l^ewis
led the conference and ranks
among the national leaders in
free throw shooting (.881). Fields
was the conference king in field
goal percentage (.571) and rated
seventh in rebounding.
Fifth-ranked Mount St. Mary's,
the MDAC regular season
champ, won the major honors as
Mount Coach Jim Phelan was
named "Coach of the Year" and
senior standout Paul Edmonds
was picked as "Player of the
Year."
Rounding out the all-
conference squad were Mike
Minett of Liberty and Bill
Lindsay of Pittsburgh-Johnstown
on the first team, and James
Griffin and Danny Johnson of
Randolph-Macon, Dan Kennard
(rf Liberty and George Young of
The Mount on the second team.
With the regular season
ending, Longwood's men's
basketball team can turn its
attention to a specific goal: to win
the Mason-Dixon Conference
Tournament and receive an
automatic bid to the NCAA
Division II Playoffs. A home date
with Armstrong State completed
the regular season Monday night.
The Lancers, who have won
nine of their last 11 games after a
4-10 start, will play the winner of
a Thursday night game between
Pitt-Johnstown and Liberty in the
MDAC Tournament semi-finals
at 6:30 Friday night at Maryland
Baltimore County.
Should Longwood win its
Friday night contest and the
championship tilt Saturday night
at 7:30, coach Cal Luther's squad
would be in the NCAA
Tournament for the first time
since 1980. The Lancers ended up
28-3 and fourth in the Division III
Tournament in the 1979-80
season.
Longwood, 13-12, missed a
chance to tie for the league's
regular season crown Saturday
night when 5th ranked Mount St.
Mary's took on 83-65 win on its
home court. Nevertheless, the
lancers will receive a first round
bye in the tournament thanks to a
secjond place league finish at 7-3
behind The Mount's 9-1.
Longwood, the only league team
to defeat Mount St. Mary's during
the season (74-69 in overtime),
will have to get by a tough game
Friday night to have another
possible shot at The Mount, which
will almost surely get on NCAA
bid regardless of the outcome of
the tournament.

"The pitching of veterans Todd
Ashby, Rob Furth, and Tony
Browning will likely be the key to
our season," says Bolding. "We'll
be counting on them as our top-

Longwood's Dr. Fawcett: Top Of His Field
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
Many members of Longwood's
faculty have interests in their
fields beyond our classrooms and
campus, which carry them to far
comers of the world in their
"spare time." One such
individual is Dr. L.R. Fawcett
Jr., the college's Director of
Physics and Pre-Engineering
programs.
Dr. Fawcett was working at
Argonne National Laboratory in
Chicago in the late 1970's making
neutron capture cross-section
measurements on Uranium 238
(that is, a measurement of the
probability that a neutron will
collide with and stick to a
Uranium 238 nucleus).
After presenting the results of
the Argonne Laboratory
experiments at an international
conference. Dr. Fawcett was
invited to reanalyze the results of
a fusion-fuel production
experiment at Los Alamos
National Laboratory in New
Mexico. The experiment had
been performed and theoretically
analyzed in the mid-late 1970's:
the actual results did not
correspond well with the
theoretical expectations due to
physical occurrences not
accounted for in analysis. Dr.
Fawcett's job was to reanalyze
the results, taking these
unaccounted for reactions into
consideration.
Although presently still
working on this project, he has
also become involved in a
number of other activities at Los
Alamos, some of which have been
completed and had their results
published, some others which are
still in the process of being
performed. Dr. Fawcett's main
interest at Los Alamos now is an
experiment he himself suggested
in 1982: measurement of the
neutron-neutron cross-section,
which is a measurement of the
probability that a neutron will
collide with another neutron.
The experiment requires a
series of underground nuclear
explosions, the first of which took
place in April 1985. This explosion
was used as an indicator as to the
best method of going about the
actual experiment. The next
phase is scheduled for this
coming April. This is a feasibility
step, looking for the chances of
all the requirements for the full
experiment being met, namely
simultaneous ignition to within a
billionth of a second of two
neutron sources, and at least the
required number of neutrons
present from these sources. If the
anticipated results occur in this
explosion, the experiment will
continue; if not, it will be dropped
from the laboratory's roster:
nuclear explosions cost millions
of dollars, and therefore, each
nuclear test has as many
experiments as possible attached
to it.
Some experts have said in the
past that these particular results
cannot be obtained, and that it
would certainly be the most
difficult neutron experiment
devised by the mind of man, but
"... we're not convinced of that
and will try," remarked Dr.
Fawcett.
Although the experiment is still
only being technically
constructed, its ultimate goal, the
neutron cross-section, could lead
to knowledge of whether or not
there is a relation between
electromagnetic forces and
nuclear forces. Physicists used to
believe these forces to be
indej)endent of each other, but
since the mid-1960's, think there
may be a 3 or 4 percent
dependence.
"Some theories of the universe
suggest that the forces of nature
are related, and imply that one
force formed the universe, but
'split' soon thereafter, becoming
the four basic forces we know
today.
The four cosmic forces are the
nuclear force, electromagnetism,
the weak force and gravity.
The nuclear force — also called
the strong force — binds
electrically neutral neutrons and
positively charged protons
together in the atomic nucleus
. . . (This experinnent hopes) to
learn whether the presence of -
electric charge affects the
nuclear force." (quoted fromThe
Farmville Herald, 12-28-84)
In preparation for the April
1986 explosion, the neutron-
neutron scattering experiment
has been placed deep inside a
tunnel that has been dug into a
mesa near Yucca Flats, Nevada,
at the Nuclear Energy Testing
Site. Two thin tubes merge at a
small angle at one end of the
experiment and are connected to
it by a 20 ft. by 3 ft. scattering
chamber in which neutrons
passing down the tubes from each
of the two nuclear sources will
meet and cross paths in a precise
.spot, to be recorded by a neutron
detector.
While Dr. Fawcett is involved
in the actual design of the
experiment, teams of scientists
work on developing the devices
used in the experiment, and
figuring out the formulas
necessary for interpreting the
information once it is found.
Dr. Fawcett commented that
"The work that goes on at our
laboratory is not purely, by any
means, for the motivation of just
developing new weapons. A
tremendous amount of the budget
goes into looking for alternate
.sources of energy and into basic
physics experiments. The idea of
acquiring new knowledge to
better understand the universe is
one of the greatest motivating
forces at our national
laboratories."

Opinion: ARA Police
From The Housing Office
ByDINAEZELXEand
DEBORAH L. SHELKEY
Heed their badges of blue
caps with wliite visors and blue
smocks as they parade around
your favorite eating site. They
are seething at the bit to smack
the back of your hand if you dare
to cross their rules. Rarely do
they smile only do they guard
their personalities as they almost
fear to smile and show
humanness. Who are these blue
crusaders? ARA police.
Upstairs campus dining in
Blackwell at 5:00, students are
"greeted" by a peer in a
monotone voice who barely
sneers out the night's choices.
Heaven forbid they take the order
of the table while there are three
vacant seats. Do they think
possibly the missing persons
have voiced their choice to those
already seated?
ARA police are getting paid
whether they see the money or
not. Maybe some students belittle
them or are rude, but do not
waitresses and waiters
everywhere receive this
treatment from customers.
Okay, you say ARA waitrons do
not have to be cordial, they are
not working for tips. They are
serving students as they are.
Downstairs dining is jolly too.
The ones working behind the
counter hardly notice the plate in
front of them as they continue to
gossip in front of the grill. An
appetite is lost as a student sees
the cook scratching his ear and
wipe his nose with the back of his
hand. And if ARA decides to close
off sections of tables, students
are expected to go to another
table with people who have
finished eating and shoved their
dirty dishes to the center of the
table, so they can chew their cud
in conversation. Faces mock
newcomers as "invading their
space." Do customers at Pizza
Hut slide in a booth with a couple
who are already chomping a
Super Supreme F*izza because
there are no more booths
available? How cozy.
Restaurants open sections to
accommodate their customers. I
guess ARA police feel they do not
have to treat students with
respect because they do not bus
their tables. Where is respect
supposed to begin? If busing
one's dishes was not such a hassle
— bursting through lines,
weaving through impatient
traffic, to a small secluded
comer of the dining hall —
students would make the effort.
Some do. Set up trays helped but
where is the plan for busing that
can work?
The blue crusaders'
crackerjack badges of ARA are
tarnished in attitude and
planning, but who is to say they
will be polished?
The Office of Cashering and
Student Accounts has recently
prepared and mailed billing
statements for the Fall Semester
Student Fee Deposit. These
statements were addressed to all
students at their home addresses.
This $100 statement includes a
$10 non-refundable Readmission
Fee and a $90 Student Fees
Deposit which is applied towards
Fall Semester tuition. All
students, resident and day,
intending to return to Longwood
for the Fall Semester are
required to pay the $100. The $90
is refundable prior to June 1,
1986.
The Housing Office encourages
all resident students to insure the
deposit is paid by the March 21st
deadline. Payment of the deposit
by the deadline is required in
order to participate in the Room
Selection jprocesses as well as
pre-registration for Fall
Semester, 1986 classes.
Persons who have not paid the
deposit on time will not be
permitted to select a room or be
signed up as a roommate-
suitemate until the final stages of
the Room Selection Process.

Visitation Survey
To The Editor,
Thanks for your editorial on
Visitation. Hopefully, it will
encourage people to be
responsive to the survey that The
Resident Life Committee is
getting ready to conduct dealing
with visitation. The survey is
going to ask which options the
students prefer as far as
visitation is concerned.
At the present time RLC is
moving toward 24 hour visitation.
Ah, but what about cohabitation
being illegal in Virginia. Well,
visiting and living are two
different things. There will be
guidelines enforced to see that
cohabitation does not exist and
roommate rights are not being
violated.
Hopefully with a change in
visitation we can move toward
promoting maturity and growth
for individuals here at Longwood.

The Oil Weapon
Is Disarmed
By DEBORAH L. SHELKEY
Professor of zoology, animal
gorphology, vertebrate phy-
siology and on demand
ornithology. Dr. Sandra Breil
confesses she did not become
interested in biology until she
earned her first 'A' in a biology
course in college. She has
dissected birds, turtles, sharks,
frogs, cats, minks, and a monkey,
but still admits to a wariness of
the 8-legged creature — a spider.
Breil enjoys animal gorphology
the most but believes it is the
hardest course she instructs. All
students in lab dissect his own
mink, by the systems : digestive,
circulatory, excretory, nervous,
and reproductive.
If a student is less than
enthusiastic about plunging his
hands into a lab specimen, (with
proper tools) he can overcome
this squeamish anxiety only by
his lab work and find it comes
easy with practiced analysis.
Once upon coming into lab near
Easter, students discovered
bright covered chocolate eggs
left on the seats from Easter
Bunny Breil.
Dr. Breil has been teaching at
l^ngwood for 19 years and has
collected an enormous amount of
old finals. She soaks these old
papers overnight and grinds the
mixture in a blender to create
''handmade paper.''

carrying her to Germany.
Greece, Italy, France, and the
Netherlands with Dr. Flynn's art-
history course this summer. She
then gets lots of time for another
hobby — photography.
Dr. Breil encourages students
to keep up in class, if a student
does not follow or understand
Tuesday's notes, he "sure as hell
is not going to know what's going
on in Thursday's lecture." She
recommends reviewing notes
daily and asking questions in
class.
Though her office is decorated
with a grand array of pink pigs,
Dr. Sandra Breil reveals her
favorite animal at the zoo is the
giraffe. They are "very
arrogant" and at the same time,
"look stupid," but she likes their
long eyelashes. When the long-
necked creature bats those
charming eyelashes at Breil, it is
probably because they share a
secret. They both mind spiders in
their paths.

THE ROTUNDA
Box 1133
Longwood College
By MATT PETERMAN
Back in 1973, the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC), used the oil
weapon against the United States
by cutting off all oil exports,
which amounted to about 25
percent of our total energy needs.
This sent serious economic shock
waves through our economy,
making the U.S. take a closer
look at the way it used energy.
Today, we use oil more
efficiently, but like then the
recent fall in oil prices will also
send shock waves through our
economy, but this time for the
better. The immediate impact of
the $15 a barrel drop, in the price
of oil, will bring down the price of
gasoline and heating oil about 30
cents a gallon. This will mean a
savings of about $24 billion a
year, at the expense of OPEC
nations, while increasing our
growth, keeping inflation and
unemployment down.
The U.S. will also benefit
indirectly by the stimulation of
the economies of Europe and
Japan. Through the stimulation
of these ecnomies, the U.S.
dollar will down in value
making tt. U.S. more
competitive, while opening its
export markets. This is
particularly important because
of the massive trade deficit, of
$140 billion, the U.S. ran last
year.
Because these gains are
coming at the expense of oil
exporting nations, many fear the
collapse of banks, who have
loaned these countries money.
This, for the most part is not true.
The amount of oil importing
nations paying back their loans
will increase, outweighing the
risks of increased credit to oil
exporting debtor nations. The
only major problem in the
banking industry will be the
small banks in oil producing
states, such as Texas and
Louisiana, which could fail,
because of a lack of slack to
handle huge losses.
At home, we will feel the
benefits of increased competition
between substitute energy and
oil. This, as it works its way
through the economy will lower
inflation and increase growth,
something that could not have
been attained without the prices
of oil being lower.
All in all, the U.S. must be
careful not to increase its oil
appetite to a point, where oil
could again be used as a weapon.
If we were to be led into this rut,
the OPEC nations would not have
as strong a weapon since, their oil
only takes care of 38 percent of
world demand compared to 68
percent back in 1973. So far the
benefits of cheaper oil have had
only good effects, and most bad
effects will most likely be
outweighed.

Cigarettes Contain
Radiation
Supreme Court Case Could Halt
Letters Of Recommendation
Cigarette packages already
carry several warnings about the
health hazards from smoking. If
new research proves conclusive
there might be need for one more
- "Warning: radiation in
cigarettes can lead to cancer."
According to the March
Reader's Digest, cigarette.s
contain so much radioactivity
that a pack-and-a-half-per-day
.smoker gets a yearly dose of
radiation in parts of his lungs
equal to what his skin would be
exposed to in about 300 chest x-
rays.
Although the experts are not
sure of the full extent of the
health risks, Dr. Joseph R.
DiFranza of the University of
Massachusetts Medical Center
believes that "radiation alone
could account for about half of all
lung cancers in smokers."
Scientists have traced
radiation in cigarettes to the
fields where tobacco is grown.
For many decades, farmers have
fertilized tobacco crops with
phosphates rich in uranium. By
decay, this uranium generates
radium-226, which in turn spawns
radon-222, and eventually lead-
210 and polonium-210. Tobacco
plants readily absorb radioactive
elements from the fertilizer and
from naturally occuring sources
in the soil, air and water.
Ultimately the radiation is
inhaled deep inside a smoker's
lungs. As a smoker consumes
cigarette after cigarette,
insoluble particles incorporating
radioactive isotopes may be
depositied at the same points in
the lungs.
According to Edward A.
Martell, a specialist in
radiochemistry at the National
Center for Atmospheric
Research, these points become
"hot spots" of radioactivity.
Martell believes it is no
coincidence that most lung
cancers begin at these branch
points where radioactive debris
gathers.
Unfortunately it is not just
smokers alone who are at risk
from radiation in cigarettes.
Reader's Digest reports that at
least 50 percent of the radioactive
isotopes from cigarette smoke
wind up in the air, and a smaller
percentage of this and other
elements in the smoke are
inhaled by those around the
smoker.
Takeshi Hirayama of the
Institute of Preventive Oncology
in Tokyo studied records of
more than 91,000 women and
found that non-smoking wives of
heavy smokers had more than
double the risk of dying from lung
cancer than did the non-smoking
wives of non-smokers.
Depending on how the U.S.
Supreme Court rules this spring,
professors around the country
may stop writing
recommendation letters for
students, some lawyers say.
The court will hear arguments
this spring on the case of Andrew
Burt, who claims University of
Nebraska Medical Prof. John
Connolly's "negative"
recommendation defamed him.
At issue is whether Burt can
sue Connolly in Colorado, where
Burt now lives.
Forcing professors to shoulder
the expense of traveling to defend
the recommendations they write
could discourage or simply
prevent them from writing
references in the future, some
officials say.
No one contests what was in the
letter.
When Burt applied for a job as
an orthopedic surgeon at a
Colorado hospital, it asked
former teacher Connolly to write
a reference letter.
In response, Connolly wrote
Burt's performance at Nebraska
was "well below average," and
advised he should not be hired in -
orthopedic surgery.
Connolly did add Burt "might
serve adequately" in some other
health field.
Burt left Nebraska in 1977 for
California before looking for
work in Colorado in 1981. He sued
Connolly that year, claiming the
professor defamed him in the
letter to the hospital.

Connolly's lawyers claimed
Colorado was the wrong
jurisdiction, and that the case
had to be thrown out unless it was
filed in Nebraska, where Burt did
his residency.
The case, turning on the
jurisdiction issue instead of the
defamation issue, finally made it
up to the U.S. Supreme Court this
year.
"What happens if a faculty
member is hailed to Alaska?"
wonders University of Nebraska
General Counsel Richard Wood.
"We would have to hire counsel
up there."
leaving a state to defend
oneself "would present a
tremendous burden on the
defendant," adds Marilyn Mintz
of the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP).
"It would severely impact on the
system of evaluation as it applies
to faculty members."
Wood also contends a Burt
victory would inhibit employers
as well as professors in writing
reference letters.
Burt declined to comment on
the case, and his attorney, Robert
Dyer, did not return reporters'
phone calls.
Connolly's attorney, Thomas L.
Roberts, says the professor
merely was performing a
professional duty by responding
to the hospital's request and,
therefore, had minimal contact
with Colorado.
Furthermore, since Connolly
wasn't paid for writing the letter,
je had no economic relationship
with the state, Roberts says.
A federal district court in
Colorado agreed with Roberts'
argument, but the 10th Circuit
Court of Appeals reversed the
decision in Burt's favor.
Of their chances for victory this
spring when the Supreme Court
hears the case, Roberts believes
"I think we have a good chance of
reversal "
However, the process has not
been cheap.
Roberts estimates the cost of
defending Connolly will run "In
the tens of thousands of dollars.
The cost of litigation is extremely
high."
Nebraska's insurance will foot
the bill.
"You don't see many lawsuits
like this, and, hopefully, you
won't see many in the future,"
Woods says.

SURVEY: Students Prefer
Sleep Over Dating
TUESDAY. AAARCH 18, 1996 THE ROTUNDA Pog«5
Fashion Show
It doesn't have much to do with
their high-living image, but
college students probably prefer
sleeping to dating, a new Levi
Strauss Co. survey of collegiate
attitudes has found.
Dating, in fact, was only
students' sixth-favorite
activity.
Attending parties topped the
survey of student preferences.
"Partying is definitely a verb
on campus," says Julie Boyle, a
company spokeswaman.
Of the more than 6,500 students
surveyed, 70 percent listed
partying as one of their five
favorite activities.
Listening to records came in
second, with 63 percent of those
questioned rating it as one of
their favorite pastimes.
Sleeping was third, with 56
percent, followed by going to
movies and eating.
Only 42 percent of the
respondents said dating was a
favorite activity.
There were, of course, regional
differences in extracurricular
tastes. Students in the East and
South, for example, felt dating
was more important than did
Midwestern and Western
students.
Only about a third of the
Westerners listed dating as a
favorite pastime.
Levi Strauss calls the study its
"501 Survey" because the
company is researching why
traditional jeans are gaining
favor again on campuses, Boyle
explains.
In fact, "jeans are more
popular than ever with college
students," Boyle says, adding
students who have jeans wear
them 75 percent of the time.
Company executives theorize
singer Bruce Springsteen may be
partially responsible for keeping
jeans so popular on campuses,
Boyle adds.
The study, Boyle says, "gives
the company an overview of the
habits of consumers. Students
are a prime target (market) for
our jeans."

The various scenes in the
Fashion Show were modeled to
the beat of music; New Attitude,
which was of course modeled
with the record "New Attitude"
showed the new wave fashions.
Casual Wear, Fitness and
Swimwear, fashions for looking
great and staying in shape.

The audience also heard a duet
by Mr. Michael Lee, Melanie
Lee's brother, and Ms. Gayle
Jones, a Longwood student. The
songs were "I'm Bom Again"
and "Half Crazy."
The directors, Tracie Pervall
and Winona Waddy, deserve a
great deal of credit for arranging
such a wonderful show. Also, the
models deserve much credit for
making the plans go smoothly.
The models had their walks,
turns, and smiles and other
enthusiastic movements all in

BENNETT: SOME COLLEGES
ARE RIPPING OFF THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC
In congressional testimony last
week. Education Secretary
William Bennett opined some
unnamed schools are graduating
badly-educated students.
Bennett is expected to propose
changing the way the Education
Dept. recognizes accrediting
agencies when he unveils his
plans for the Higher Education
Reauthorization Act next week.
Now, Bennett told Congress,
accrediting agencies grade
colleges more on their resources
and procedures than on how well
I they teach students.
TWENTY PERCENT of
students attending four-year
colleges have $200 or more per
month in discretionary income,
according to a study by Simmons
Market Research Bureau. Two-
thirds of the students with this
much spending money work
during the school year.
A LIST OF NON-RELIGIOUS
STUDENTS is a subject of
controversy at the U. of Wis-
consin. When students register
each semester, they can indicate
religious preferences by
i checking one of 32 categories on
their registration forms. Local
churches can obtain a list of the
students professing their
particular faith, but when leaders
of the local Freedom From
Religion Foundation paid a fee
for the li.st of students who
marked the "Ajgnosticism-
Atheism" box they found the li.st
had been destroyed by the
registrar's office.
A RULE LIMITING
CAMPAIGNS for student
government to a three-day period
may be challenged in court. A U.
of Alabama student, running for
student government president, is
challenging the rule with the help
of the American Civil Liberties
Union. The student says the
limitation restricts his, and other
candidates', freedom of speech,
and has already held an "illegal"
campaign rally.
THE U. OF WINNIPEG
ADMINISTRATION is being
accused of intimidating four
students who complained that a
university security guard yelled
racist insults at them and
threatened them with phy.sical
violence. According to the
Canadian University Press, the
incident occurred when the guard
found the students studying in a
seminar room an hour before the
university officially opened for
the day. The .students say the
school told them they would be
charged with trespassing if they
lodged a formal complaint
again.st the guard.

Leadership Retreat
Big Success
»••
By ROBERT SMITH
Over eighty Longwood College
student leaders gathered Feb.
21st to the 23rd in Virginia Beach
for Longwood's first leadership
retreat. Students from many
diverse organizations attended
the three day conference
involving interest sessions, guest
speakers and core group
activities.
Day one consisted of
registration at the Howard
Johnson Hotel on the beach at
Virginia Beach. Guest speaker
Bonnie Hicks, a professional
keynote presenter, opened the
weekends conference with her
keynote address on "Mo-
tivation-Leadership Potential."
Core group activity followed with
each group putting together
idea's for a commercial
presentation for Sunday's closing
finale. Each of the ten core
groups consisted of a cross
section of student leaders from
S.G.A. Residence Hall Councils
and R.A.'s, fraternities and
sororities, dining hall services,
Ambassadors and many others.
The second day started off with
aerobics and quickly moved into
the first interest session titled
"Style— Staying in Touch with
Your Leadership Effectiveness" ■
presented by Sue Saunders and
Teresa Alvis. Following the
session was a very informative
panel discussion involing three
successful longwood Alumni who
were student leaders while
attending Longwood College. The
three alumni were Gay
Kampmueller, Stephen Meyers
and Lynda Whitley. They spoke
and answered questions from
present Longwood leaders. They
clearly showed and gave
examples of how important
involvment during college is.
After brunch, the third session
titled "Don't let your
organization be "Wiped Out" by
Waves of Confusion" involved
how to make your meetings more
effective and productive. This
presentation was conducted by
Robin Olmstead and Kathy
Brown.
The final interest session
conducted by Bob Smith and Paul
Striffolino was titled —
Motivation and Group Cohesion
— Who are the members of your
crew and how do you get them to
sail together. This session
consisted of motivation
techniques and the important
roles in an organization. Sat-
urday evening was the formal
dinner with guest speaker Phyllis
Mable. She spoke about
Longwood of the future. After
dinner was the infamous trivial
pursuit tournament which was
won by the AXP team, narrowly
edging out the SPE's and Pelta's.
Sunday was the wrap up and
each core group presented their
commercial promoting
Longwood. The core groups also
discussed many issues
concerning students and how
effective leadership may
improve current problems here
at Longwood. The Student
Leadership Training Committee
has worked hard all year long
putting the retreat together and
were quite pleased with the
results. The committee consists
of Vicki Bodin, Bob Smith, Carol
Cooper, Kathy Brown, Sue
Saunders and Chairman Paul
Shtriffolino. When asked what his
impression of Longwoods first
leadership retreat, Striffolino
stated "Motivating and thrilling!
The students attending were
great! They applied themselves,
had fun and came up with
excellent suggestions for some of
Ix)ngwood's concerns. Let's do it
again in the fall. Go Longwood!"

STRIPPERS AND
PORNOGRAPHIC FILMS, as
enticements for rushes, have
been banned by the Syracuse U.
Interfraternity Executive
Council. The ban is based on an
IFC constitutional clause
requiring the fraternity system to
uphold the image of the
university. Some fraternities had
substituted strippers and X-rated
films for alcohol during last fall's
dry rush.
UNAUTHORIZED CLASS
VISITORS to U. of Wisconsin
classrooms could be fined $10,000
and sent to jail for two years if a
bill in the Wisconsin legislature
becomes law. The bill is intended
to thwart the efforts of Accuracy
In Academia, the group using
class monitors to identify so-
called Marxist professors.
U. HAWAII PROF FINDS LINK
BETWEEN BAD VISION AND
HIGH IQ
Prof. Geoffrey Ashton's tests
found high IQ test scores seem to
correlate with bad vision.
He speculates it's because
students' brains grow as they
read a lot, thus causing neural
developments that can alter the
brain's visual functions.
HARD ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES are temporarily
banned from the Northwestern U.
campus. The policy is a
compromise between the school
and its Interfraternity Council -
The university had proposed a
total ban of alcohol when the IFC
lost its general and alcohol
jiability insurance.
A TELEVISION MONITOR at
the Milwaukee Area Technical
College will present titles of
books which are unavailable and
names of courses for which
students cannot get books until
they appear in class. Students
had complained of standing in
line for more than 45 minutes,
only to find that the book they
wanted was out of stock. During
peak periods, the monitor's
messages will be revised hourly.
THE "LOVE CONNECTION"
at Northwestern U. is a computer
dating service run by the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and
Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority to
raise money for Easter Seals.
For$l, students can receive a list
of students with whom they are
"compatible." The students fill
out a questionnaire about
themselves, and a computer
matches questionnaires with
similar answers.
A 'GROSS DIS-
CRIMINATION" is how an
Auburn U. professor is describing
the school's policy of admitting
scholarship student-athletes with
ACT scores below the school's
usual requirement of 18. The
professor warns that any
exemptions to the minimum
requirements can make the
university vulnerable to lawsuits.
STUDYING HAS EDIBLE
REWARDS for students at
Northwestern U. The local
McDonald's restaurant offered
students a free cheeseburger for
every A or A- earned during the
fall quarter. Although the 8,569
A's and A-'s NU awarded are
worth $5,655 in cheeseburgers,
the McDonald's manager says
the offer is good for business —
most students end up paying for
french fries and a soft drink.
A STUDENT'S LOAN
COLLECTION FILE at Stanford
U. contained a photo, clipped
from the campus newspaper, of
the student being arrested at an
anti-apartheid demonstration.
The Bursar's Office apologized
for the "mistake" and promised
the photo would be removed.
I.«an collectors save articles as a
method of tracking students who
are in default and leave the
Stanford area. The student
claims, however, that since he
was neither out of the area nor in
default, the photo was put in his
file to discredit him.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF
SUDS at a laundromat near the
U. of Georgia-Athens. Ringers is
a combination laundromat-
restaurant-bar where students
can mingle, watch MTV, eat hot
sandwiches, drink beer and still
keep an eye on their laundry
through the glass windows behind
the bar. To attract UGA students,
Ringers cashes personal checks,
pipes rock music into the laundry
room and manages the wash-and-
dry cycle for students returning
late from class.
BEFORE GRADUATING from
Northern Illinois U., students
must demonstrate knowledge of
the Declaration of Independence,
the constitutions of the United
States and the state of Illinois,
balloting procedures and the
proper use and display of the
flag.
THREE STUDENT DEATHS
at the U. of Kansas last semester
have prompted the student
affairs office to develop a
permanent campus committee on
mental health. The committee
will explore causes of undue
stress for students, provide
mental health services for
students and help promote a
"healthy and wholesome mental
climate" for KU students.
SWASTIKAS and Klu Klux
Klan initials were painted on the
Afro-American Cultural Center
at Yale U. Students are not so
upset with the graffiti as they are
with the fact that more than two
weeks passed before it was
removed. One student noted that
pro-divestment graffiti had been
removed from a university
building the same day it was
written.
STATE GOVERNMENTS, in
1985-86, will pour record amounts
of money into student grant
programs, according to a survey
of the National Association of
State Scholarships and Grants
Programs. Aggregate need-
based student aid offered by the
states is expected to increase by
more than 11 percent.
A STUDENT BILL OF
RIGHTS is now under
consideration by the Michigan
legislature. If approved, the
measure will eliminate double
jeopardy — when a student is
tried off-campus in a court of law
and by a luiiversity judiciary
board for the same offense. The
bill provides students with the
right to an attorney, to a formal
hearing before a jury comprised
of student peers, to cross examine
all witnesses, to appeal a hearing
decision to the institution's
governing board and against self-
incrimination.
TO SAVE STUDENTS
MONEY, the Memorial U.
(Canada) Faculty Senate has
"resolved that undergraduate
students may not be required to
submit essays, projects,
assignments or any other work
forming part of their recognized
programs of study in typewritten
form."
UNIVERSITY CARE
SERVICE has come under
investigation for mail fraud after
the parent of a U. of Michigan
student complained to the post
office that a "survival kit" she
had purchased for her son was
never delivered. Parents of
students at Western Kentucky U.
had complained of the same
problem in December. The
company is based in
Indianapolis, Ind.
ABOUT 300 STUDENTS at
Florida State U. had to be
confined to their rooms for a
week because a student they may
have had contact with came down
with the measles. As an added
precaution, the university
required all students, staff and
instructors under 30 to be
immunized before the end of
January.
STUDENTS ARE
CEI^BRATING a victory in
their anti-apartheid battle at the
State U. of New York-
Binghamton. The Marriott
Corporation, the primary food
service vendor for the
Binghampton campus, was the
target of student protest last
spring because it has operations
in South Africa. The
administration had agreed to
conduct a student referendum on
whether Marriott's contract
should be renewed in 1987, but
Marriott recently announced that
it is withdrawing from its South
African ooerations.

Poll Shows Students
Ignorant About Birth G)ntrol
College students either don't
know much about birth control,
or they pass it up because it is
"unromantic," a new poll says.
In either case, a vast number of
collegians eschew birth control
altogether or use unreliable
methods.
A Gallup Poll of more than 600
students at 100 campuses found 32
percent of those surveyed believe
withdrawal will protect women
from pregnancy.
Of the women who use birth
control pills, a third take older,
more dangerous pills containing
high estrogen levels.
One of four students has used
the rhythm method, even though,
as Dartmouth Director of Health
Education Beverlie Conant
Sloane notes, "no time is totally
safe."
The study also revealed 60
percent of the students had some
sex education in high school, but
half of this group said they could
have used more information.
"It therefore seems more
education effort needs to be made
in high school," says Michael
Policar, a gynecologist who
directs Planned Parenthood for
San Francisco and Alameda
counties.
In fact, 75 percent of the
students who said they were
sexually active in college had
their first sexual encounter in
high school.
Moreover, three quarters of the
students think taking the pill is as
dangerous as having a baby,
which is not true, Policar asserts.
But the survey shows 59
percent of the female
respondents v^o are sexually
active use the pill.
"Many (students) don't realize
that newer formulations (of birth
control pills) provide lower
hormone doses while maintaining
effectiveness," Policar says,
adding "they may be taking more
drug than they actually need."
Policar thinks many students
get their birth control
misinformation from their peers.
Yet (^nant Sloane maintains
college students will take risks no
matter how much they know.
"I think students Imow more
than the survey indicates,"
Conant Sloane says, adding they
are at the age in which they are
learning about risk taking.
"Unfortunately, a lot of students
are playing Russian Roulette."
"It's not romantic to talk about
birth control" when sexual
opportunities arise, Conant
Sloane explains, adding there are
no good role models for students.
"You just don't see romantic
situations in movies where birth
control is discussed before
having sex."
Men, moreover, generally are
uninvolved in birth control. Many
still believe the myth that
condoms are "like taking a
shower with a raincoat on," she
adds.

Republican nominee, will pass
through Famnville on September
26, aboard his special campaign
train. He will be in Lynchburg at
5 p.m., in Farmville between 6
and 7 p.m and is expected in
Richmond at 8:35 p.m.
Plans are being made for the
students to be down at the station
when the train comes through.
Although a stop has not been
planned, it is hoped that the train
can be slowed down so that
everyone wanting to wave to the
general can do so.
The plans for a whistle stop
tour which was to have included
Farmville were abandoned, it
was reported, when the General
and his advisers decided that the
time could be used more
profitably in the "deep south".
According to many experts,
however, Virginia is included in
the list of the four southern states
that Eisenhower has the best
chance of carrying in the
November 4 election.
On his first visit to Virginia, the
General will speak at Roanoke,
Lynchburg and Petersburg
before going into Richmond for a
major speech there. His special
train will enter the state from
North Carolina and follow the
Norfolk and Western tracks from
Roanoke to Richmond.
Eisenhower's plans to come to
Virginia were reportedly
strengthened after the success of
his first southern trip. Several
weeks ago, he ventured into the
democratic south and made
major speeches in Atlanta,
Tampa, and Birmingham. These
cities, as well as several other
cities and towns wiiich he visited
on that trip had the opportunity of
greeting a presidential nominee
for the first time in many
decades.
Tentative plans concerning his
visit to the capital city included a
major speech from the south
portica of the capital building
after a motorised parade down
Broad Street.
Eisenhower will arrive in
Richmond in the wake of the
Democratic presidential
nominee. Governor Adlai
Stevenson who spoke there last
Saturday. Mr. Stevenson
motored down from Washington
for his speaking engagement and
included stops in Quantico,
Fredricksburg and Bowling
Green in his quick trip into the old
dominion. Plans are now being
made for a second visit by
Governor Stevenson to Virginia.
Until the arrival of the two
presidential candidates this year,
Richmond, as well as most other
parts of the state, had seen
presidential candidates but twice
in the twentieth century.

Collegians Not So Apathetw
By JIM SCHWARTZ
Today's students may be more
interested in jobs and wealth than
their predecessors, but it's not
because they're greedier, two
University of Wisconsin
professors say.
Their study of student attitudes
also suggests calling collegians
apathetic is a bum rap.
"I think attributing apathy to
this generation of college
students is misleading,"
maintains Prof. Bud McClure of
A Positive Point
About Breast Cancer.
Now we can see it before
you can feel it. When it s no
Digger than the dot on this
page.
And when it s 90% cur-
able. With the best chance
of saving the breast.
The trick is catching it
early. And that's exactly
what a mammogram can do.
A mammo^am is a sim-
Dle x-ray thats simply the
)est news yet for aetecting
3reast cancer. And saving
ives.
If you're over 35, ask
your doctor about
mammography.

chance of a lifetime."

the University of Wisconsin at
River Falls.
In a sample of almost 300
students from the River Falls
campus, McClure and associate
Thomas Russo found students to
be most concerned with issues
that have immediate impact on
their lives.
Students listed abortion, the
nuclear arms race, drug use,
pollution, conservation, politics,
world hunger, unemployment,
poverty and equal rights as their
most important concerns.
"International issues of today
are perceived to be out of
control," McClure says.
In contrast, the "quiet
generation" of the fifties was
more orderly because "there was
a sense of (national)
invulnerability."
But today's students, McQure
says, are not much different from
their predecessors of the late
sixties and early seventies.
He thinks it's because
observers often exaggerate the
number of students who were
politically active in the sixties,
and underestimate the number
who are active today.
The key to provoking student
activism, he says, is to find issues
that affect students directly, and
ones about which they feel they
can influence the outcome.
McClure attributes student
interest in South African
apartheid to students realizing
they can influence college
holdings in companies doing
business with the Pretoria
government.

notion that students are not as
politically passive as some critics
suggest, says Kenneth Green of
UCLA, which co-sponsors with
the American Council on
Education an annual survey of
some 200,000 freshmen
nationwide.
Most observers who call
collegians apathetic, in fact, cite
the UCLA study, which, among
other discoveries, has found
freshmen becoming ever more
materialistic in their life goals.
The findings recently
convinced a group of college
presidents to resolve to make
"community service" a
graduation requirement. The
group hoped to end students'
"preoccupation" with career and
material goals.
But a number of other studies,
most recently from Mount Hood
College in Maryland, documents
that student attitudes generally
change and become less
egocentric during the coiu'se of
college.
And many of the other
impressions of students as overly
materialistic are derived from
studies done at "private elitist
schools in the East," McClure
contends.
McClure's study, done at a
midwestern state school, may be
more representative of student
attitudes nationwide, he says.
His students' career
aspirations, moreover, have
more to do with "trying to
establish an identity in a chaotic
world," McClure concludes. He
believes becoming a professional
is a way of exerting control over
oneself in a world frequently
perceived as out of control.
"Some say it's greed, while
others say it's uncertainty about
the future," Green says of
student career aspirations.
"When I have asked a college
audience 'how many of you know
people who have lost their job?' I
see a sea of hands," Green adds.
This may be why "we see a lot
of portfolio-building behavior"
among college students, he
speculates.

Eskimos in Alaska and the tourist
business in Austria.
In January of 1981, she left
SUNY and went to the University
of Paris VII in France where she
taught American Culture and
American History to French
students for one semester. She
stayed in Paris until April of 1982
and then returned to the United
States. After her return she
began working in a law office in
Connecticut where she did para
legal research on the
International Banking Act and
real estate. After the birth of her
daughter Delia in 1983 she
continued working in the law
office until 1984, when she
accepted a position at Cecil
Community College in Maryland.
There she taught Sociology,
Social Problems and Marriage
and the Family until 1985 when
she accepted a position at
Liongwood.
Dr. Armstrong says she came
to Longwood "in order to get
back into full-time teaching and
because I was able to teach
Anthropology again." Also, her
that studies the religion in other
cultures and in American Society
with a focus on Myth, Taboo,
Cults and the Supernatural.
Next semester Dr. Armstrong
will present a new class open to
all students entitled "Women in
Society." According to Dr.
Armstrong, this directed study
course "will be arranged around
readings about women in our own
and other cultures. It is meant as
an introduction to the study of
womens' roles and contributions
from the perspective of
anthropology and sociology. An
introductory level course in
either subject is helpful but not
mandatory and the course is open
to anyone in the community."
Although Dr. Armstrong is
hoping to return to Scotland this
summer, in the future she would
like to direct a summer field
school in Scotland. She says she
"would like to take a group of
students to a village near Wich,
Scotland, to study the people and
cultures there." She would try to
arrange for students to stay in a
stone cottage guest house during
the field school. She wishes to
hear from anyone interested in

By JIM SCHWARTZ
Medical researchers claim
chlamydia has become the most
prevalent sexually transmitted
disease in the country, and
college students are among the
most likely to contract it.
Screenings of women coming to
health clinics at the universities
of Washington, Denver,
Nebraska, Alabama, Boston and
Tufts, among others, show seven
to 15 percent test positive for
chlamydia.
And rates as high as 35 percent
have been reported at certain
clinics.
There may now be three to four
million new cases of chlamydia
each year in the United States,
estimates Dr. Lawrence Sanders
of the Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta.
Furthermore, 15-to-19-year-
olds are the most likely people to
get the disease, the CDC says.
Little hard data exist to verify
that incidence of the seemingly-
obscure disease is rising, but
general observations by doctors
around the county suggest the
disease is spreading, says Prof.
Walter Stamm of the University
of Washington's medical school.
However, research in England
does show incidence of the
disease has been increasing there
annually for the last ten years,
Stamm adds.
Especially troubling to doctors
is that chlamydia often does not
produce symptoms in its victims.
And, if left untreated in women,
the disease can cause pelvic
inflammatory disease, which can
lead to sterility, maintains Teri
Anderson, a clinical supervisor at
Denver General Hospital.
However, unlike acquired
immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS) and herpes, chlamydia is
readily treatable with antibiotics
such as tetracycline, Anderson
explains.
Symptoms, usually occurring
within ten days, often include
discharge and a burning
sensation when urinating.
Increased availability of
cheaper tests for chlamydia also
may be contributing to the rise in
reports of the disease, Anderson
notes.
A chlamydia test usually costs
$35 to $50, she adds.
But Anderson cautions that
standard pelvic exams, even
those including a Pap smear,
usually will not detect
chlamydia.
The lack of symptoms in
victims may help explain why
many people are less concerned
about chlamydia than they are
about more fearsome veneral
diseases like AIDS and herpes.
At least 40 percent of the
chlamydia cases diagnosed in
women are asymtomatic, says
Susan Lloyd of the CDC.
About 20 to 30 percent of the
men diagnosed do not show
symtoms, she adds.
Victims often don't discover
they have chlamydia, moreover,
until they are treated for other
illnesses like gonorrhea.
Indeed, chlamydia and
gonorrhea often occur in tandem,
doctors say.
Anderson specualtes that most
chlamydia victims will
eventually develop symtoms if
the disease is left untreated.
Health centers are doing more
to prevent the spread of the
disease.
"We are getting more
aggressive in treating sex
partners," Anderson says.
The new tests also allow
clinicians to examine for
chlamydia specifically.
Anderson recommends young
adults who are sexually active,
especially with more than one
partner, should be tested for
chlamydia.

special project. Some of her

Golf Team ^Optimistic*
iennis Lewis- Ireland Bound
Longwood men's golf coach
Steve Nelson is optimistic about
the upcoming spring season with
six veterans returning from the
fall and three newcomers
comprising the squad. The
Lancers have their first home
match Thursday when they play
Virginia Wesleyan and
Hampden-Sydney at Longwood
Golf Course at 1:00.
"We should be much better
than last year's team," said the
coach. "Our top three players are
solid golfers. If we can get some
good play from our number four
and five golfers we could do
well."
Junior Ty Bordner will seek to
equal or better his fall stroke
average of 77.2. Bordner set a
school record for 36 holes with a
71-72-143 in the Old Dominion
Tournament.
Newcomer Richard Hardy is
an experienced golfer who has
the ability to shoot in the 70's
consistently. Junior Mark
Marshall is another veteran '
whom Nelson feels will do well
this spring.
The Lancer golfers opened
their season in the District III
Tournament in Sanford, North
Carolina March 10-11 balloning
from a first round 337 to a 349 and
finishing 17th out of 24 teams.
Longwood was tied for ninth
place after the first round at
Quail Ridge Golf Course, but
slipped eight spots after
slumping on the second day of the
tournament, ending up at 337-349-
686.
Hardy was Longwood's top
performer in the 36-hole tourney.
He carded an 85-79-164 to beat out
Bordner's 80-87-167 for team
honors.
Other LC competitors included
Marshall 86-91-177, Kevin Hare
86-92-178, Jeff Ramey 88-92-180
and Ron Hatch 94-94-188.
Also playing for Longwood this
spring are Chris Gray, Jon
Goddin and Joe Bemat.
(Continued from Page 12)
Battling for the No. 1 spot are
Chuck Fagan and Jeff Lewis, a
transfer from Gettysburg
College. Freshmen Jeff Mount
and Doug Todd will likely play
the No. 4 and 6 positions in the top
six. Doug is the younger brother
of former Lancer netter John
Todd ('83).
Also new to the team is
freshman Tom Foster.
"Even with the loss of three of
last year's top players, we will be
stronger this year," says
Posipanko. "We have a better
schedule, more home matches
and good incoming talent. We
should have a shot at a break-
even season."
Riders Take Ribbons
Longwood's riding team, in its
second competition of the spring,
earned nine ribbons in an
intercollegiate horse show at the
University of Virginia March 1,

LANQER §PQRTs
Baseball Splits Twin Bills;
Mayone Slams In Ten
liOngwood's baseball team, off
to a 9-3-1 start, took both ends of a
doubieheader from West Virginia
Tech March 7, but fell to visiting
Division II power Shippensburg
in a twin bill March 8 in action at
Lancer Field. The Lancers
resume play on the road Tuesday
at Radford before returning
home to host Division II's
Slippery Rock Thursday and
Mount St. Mary's Saturday. Both
twin bills begin at 1:00.
The doubieheader with
Shippensburg marked
liOngwood's first big test of the
season. The Raiders are among
the best teams in Division II year
after year, and certainly lived up
to their billing.
Shippensburg won the first
game 10-5 and took the nightcap
6-0, handing the Lancers only
their second shutout in the last
132 games. In the opener the
visitors from Pennsylvania
pounded out 10 hits and took
advantage of two Longwood
errors to score four unearned
runs.
Junior pitcher Rob Furth took
the loss as Ix)ngwood squandered
a 3-0 first inning lead. Catcher
Jeff Rohm and rightfielder Mike
Haskins came through with the
key hits. Two walks plus a double
by first baseman Jeff Mayone
loaded the bases. Rohm plated
one run with a single and Haskins
delivered a two-out base-hit for
two more runs.
The Raiders took control in the
third on two walks, a single and a
homer for a 4-3 lead. Six more
turns crossed the plate in the
fourth on five hits, an error and a
walk. Tony Beverley came on in
the fifth to shut-out Shippensburg
over the final three innings.
Longwood loaded the bases in
the fifth and scored two runs on a
sacrifice fly by Tom Klatt and an
error, but could pull no closer.
In the second game
Shippensburg's Clapper fired a
one-hitter and blanked the
Lancers. The Raider hurler
allowed only three Lancer
runners to reach base. LC loaded
the bases in the third on a walk,
an error and an infield single by
third baseman Marty Ford which
hit an umpire.
Clapper got out of the jam by
inducing Lancer shortstop Kelvin
Davis and Mayone to hit into
fielder's choices. Junior pitcher
Tony Browning was saddled with
the loss as 3 Shippensburg
homers spelled the difference.
The Raiders are now 2-0.
Jeff Mayone ripped four hits in
MAYONE DRIVES
IN 10 RUNS
seven at-bats and plated five runs
in each game with a 3-run homer
to pace the sweep of West
Virginia Tech. Longwood
pounded the Bears, who were
opening their season, 15-8 and 16-
8 behind a 24-hit attack.
Mayone, the top Lancer
slugger, upped his season RBI
total to 15 with the barrage. The
junior is hitting .333 and is
lx)ngwood's career leader in

Sophomores Bill Conroy and '
Shuler, Gough Expected

Davis backed Mayone in the
opener. Conroy, hitting .375 with 7
RBI, and Davis, the Lancers' top
run producer with 14, each had a
2-run double. Beverley picked up
his second win of the season in
relief of starter Steve Gedro.
Beverley pitched 3 and one-third
innings of shutout baseball in a
game that was stopped after six
innings.
It was in the second game that
Mayone clouted his 3-run homer.
Davis added three more RBI with
a 2-run homer, Rohm went 3-4
with two doubles and 3 RBI and
freshman Greylin Rice drove in 3
runs with a double. Freshman
Joel Bryant picked up the win
with relief help from Tommy
Walsh. Darkness stopped the
game after five innings. Bryant is
now 2-0.
Ix)ngwood played the games
without the services of
centerfielder Dennis I^ftwich,
out with a twisted ankle. Leftwich
hit a torrid .476 and stole five
bases in six attempts in the
I^ancers first seven games before
being injured. Rohm and senior
second baseman Todd Thompson
returned to action after missing
several games with hand injuries
and Conroy played despite a
sprained ankle.

season this week with four home
doubleheaders in six days.
The Lady Lancers host
Vermont Monday at 3:00,
Virginia Wesleyan Tuesday at
2:30, Ferrum Thursday at 3:00
and Ix)ck Haven Saturday at 3:00.
All of Longwood's home
doubleheaders will be played at
the Farmville Armory field.
"We are anxious about the
start of the season," said first-
year coach Ix)retta Coughlin.
"We are young but as the season
progresses we will develop a
chemistry to play well together."
Coughlin and fourth year
assistant coach Ernest Neal have
six players back from last year's
lS-11 team. liongwood has had
four winning seasons in five
years of softball competition.
Returning players include
Bobbi Shuler, Annette
Easterling, Julie Biscoe, Chris
Lebel, Haidee Shiflet, and the
BOBBI SHULER
veteran of the team Penny
Gough.
On a team with no seniors,
Gough, a junior first baseman,
will be looked to by her younger
teammates for leadership and
help as needed. Gough batted .283
and drove in 13 runs last season.
Shuler, an outfielder, led the
team in RBI last season with 18
and batted .247.
Unfortunately for Longwood,
none of the six returning players
is a pitcher. The I^dy Lancers
will have a completely new staff.
Newcomers Stacey Thompson

mound duties.
Other newcomers include lx)is

It appears that Longwood
men's tennis coach Rich
Posipanko has his work cut out
for him after a 2-14 record in 1985,
but the coach feels the 1986 team
could be his best since the 1983
squad finished 7-7.
The Lancer netters open the
season this week with four home
matches. Longwood hosts
Glassboro Wednesday at 3:00,
John Jay Thursday at 3:30,
King's College (PA) Saturday at
1:00 and Ix)ck Haven Sunday at
1:00.
Longwood will be led by
returnees Arjun Rishi and J. D.

Women's Golf
Gears Up
Longwood's women's golf
team is shooting for another high
finish in the National Small
College Tournament as the Lady
lancers open their spring season.
Third in the 1985 tournament,
Ix)ngwood will serve as host of
this year's event which will be
played in Wilmington, North
Carolina April 11-13.
Expected to lead the I^ady
Lancer effort is sophomore Tina
Barrett, who qualified for the
NCAA Women's Golf
Tournament last spring. Barrett
set a school record for stroke
average — 78.6, and was named a
second team All- American.
Marcia Melone, a co-captain
along with Barrett, is hoping to
regain the form that earned her
second team All-America honors
last spring. She had a stroke
average of 80.8 in 1984-85, but
didn't play as well in this year's
fall season.
The Lady Lancers opened their
spring season March 7-9 in the
Hudson Industries-Troy State
Invitational Tournament at
I^kepoint State Park in Eufaula,
Alabama, and finished in a
disappointing 20th place out of 21
mostly Division I teams.
Longwood opened the tourney
with a 343 but improved to 333 in
the second round. Windy
conditions contributed to the
I^dy Lancers' final round of 350
for a 54-hole total of 1026. Coach
Barbara Smith's 5-person lineup
included all sophomores.
Barrett played well,
particularly the first two days, at
the I^kepoint State Park course,
a long layout which featured lots
of potential problems with water.
She paced Ix)ngwood with a 78-77-
83-238. Melone shot 88-81-86-255.
Tammy Uhren shot 86-88-90-264,
Gretchen Pugh 91-87-91-269 and
Nacy Ryan 91-94-94-279.
Also playing for Longwood this
spring will be Susan Broadwater,
Amy I^vin, Kim Poirier, Leigh
Russell, Leslie Oscovitch, and
Libby Moore who joined the team
this spring.
The Troy State Tournament
provided the Lady Lancers with
their first extended action on a
golf course since the end of the
fall season in October. With the
next tournament in Florida
March 30 through April 1 (the
Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational),
Longwood's golfers will be
looking to improve on their
performance in Alabama.

NINETEEN
Pruitt Captures Miss Longwood Crown
By BRUCE SOUZA
It was sort of like scoring a hat
trick. It seemed like the new Miss
Longwood, Martha Pruitt a
sophomore from Cape Charles,
won every category available.
Pruitt seemed flabbergasted as
she wrapped up Ms.
Congenaility, Most Talented, and
finally the Ms. Longwood title.
The pageant was hosted by
Jonna Fitzgerald, Miss Texas
1985, who was also 2nd runner up
to Miss America 1985. As a
hostess she did a far superior job
than last year's hostess, although
her continuous attempts to perk
up an uninspired audience soon
became boorish.
The evening's entertainment
highlights included some
extraordinary musicianship by
Miss Texas, as she played her
fiddle to everyone's delight. Also
featured were those veritable
little imps from Richmond, The
Held Over Sisters. These
precocious little pixies had
everybody smiling, as they belted
out popular tunes both past and
present. Miss Ix)ngwood 1985,
Kim Ken worthy reminded the
crowd why she was chosen last
year by serenading an
appreciative audience. The
unsung heroes of the show were
the members of the Longwood
Jazz Ensemble who provided the
background music during the
swimsuit and evening gown
competitions.
The contest itself consisted of
only 9 entries, as senior entrant
Lisa Zuraw was unable to attend.
All contestants performed
admirably as the talent show
featured many singers, a floutist,
and two dancers. The swimsuit
display seemed to dissappoint
many, as some of the contestants
filled out the posterior portions of
their swimsuits a little too well.
All in all it was a decent night's
entertainment as long as you're
not ardent feminist. The
technical aspects of the show
went relatively smooth with the
exception of a few miscues.
Martha Pruitt will go on to
represent Longwood at the Miss
Virginia pageant to be held later
this year. The Rotunda would like
to extend its congratulations to
first Runer up Carla Lockhart.,
second Runner up Susan Reagan,
and all the other contestants.

Longwood Reorganizes Curriculum
College Will Divide Into Three Schools
Martha Pruitt adds some last minute touches.
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
Longwood College is presently
in the process of dividing its
curriculum into three separate
schools: the School of Education,
the School of Arts and Sciences,
and the School of Business.
Prior to this reorganization,
every department head had to go
to the Vice President of
Academic Affairs to approve
their every move. This is the
same system of administration
that has been used since well
before the high-rises were built,
doubling enrollment.
Last sununer it was realized
that the system must be broken
down in order to be more efficient
and avoid confusion. The result in
these three schools, each of which
will be headed by a dean who is
also a teacher. They will be in
charge of questions concerning
curriculum, faculty develop-
ment, and co-college programs.
The dean selection process is now
underway, and should be com-
pleted sometime in April.
The results of this change on
the students and faculty will
actually be nothing at all, as it is
basically a formality. Most
colleges of Longwood's size (1500-
3000 students) are organized into
specific schools, according to the
enrollment's interests. Course
offerings will not be effected as
the faculty number and
curriculum quality are upgraded.
Prospective students have
come to expect 'schools' of their
major from a college. For
example, a future business major
would rather enroll in a school of
business than in a department of
business, putting l.,ongwood "a
little bit behind the eightrball," as
Dr. Jacques of the Business
department put it.
Pog« 2 THE ROTUNDA TUESDAY. AAARCH 25. 1986
My Page
It was quick and it was sure. Longwood's student-run
disciplinary system, the way in which students have been regulating
themselves here for years and years, the process that has seen good
times and bad and has improved markedly in recent semesters, was
destroyed this month in one fell swoop. Sliced and diced, demolished
and abolished by Longwood's "Q-tip" administrators (a useful
group, unbreakable, with soft heads on both ends, these things
become self-defeating, dangerous even, when pushed too far into
your ear; although never around for very long, there is always
another one in the box.
Once again, the Q-tips have acted, the latest administrative
travesty is the development of Minimum Saction Guidelines for
Disciplinary Cases. A group made up primarily of administrators
and faculty members, sat down and tried to think of every rule that
could possibly be broken at Longwood. The list covers every
violation from using sex to get a better grade to gambling and
burning candles, (I can see Stubbs now "Open this door right now, I
know you're having a candlelight ceremony in there, you brazen
hussies.")
For every violation, there is a minimum punishment that must
be levied by the judicial and honor boards. There is no room for
flexibility, lenience, special considerations.
The disciplinary system has been effectively removed from the
hands of the students of Longwood. On the bright side, we are all still
allowed to decide on our own what clothes we will wear each day and
the Board of Visitors has just recently struck down the proposal
allowing the Housing Office to arrange marriages. Next on the
agenda, the administration will be reevaluating the pros and cons
Farmville's Free Market Economy.
A judicial board member told me that he "feels like a puppet, we
have absolutely no flexibility, I think the whole thing stinks."
I submit that the recent surge in student participation as board
members will reverse as soon as the members begin to feel the
strings being tied to their hands, their feet, their minds.
The administration has said that the reason for the mimimum
sanctions is the descrepancy between punishments dished out by the
boards, the R.E.C.s and the Dean of Students. Students accused of a
violation have a choice between an administrative hearing or a
board hearing. The sanctions emerging from these various forums
either have been too inconsistent, potentially or actually.
I say: so what? This problem is one that faces the U.S. Judicial
System too. It is due to the silly American belief that justice prevails
before all else, that each individual case is different, and must be
decided on its own merits. No legislature or elite group can make
assumptions about incidents or situations that have yet to occur.
The committee that compiled these minimum sanctions could
have devoted their entire careers listing every possible con-
sideration, circumstance and conceivable factor, and the list would
still be lacking. Each case must be considered separately, no effort
is capable of anticipating even the most clear cut violation. In fact,
didn't some Italian sociologist make up one of these lists a couple
hundred years ago? Where is he now? Dead, just like his silly
minimum sanctions work.
The rule at Longwood is for the Dean of Students to review and
approve every decision made by the disciplinary boards ; in the past
the Dean has had no hesitency to overturn both the "verdict" and the
sanction. Surely the Dean will not allow improper santions slip by
her desk. Why must this minimal student imput be eliminated?
Longwood brouchures sent to high schoolers taut this system as
an example of the respect students get while "living fully" at
college. The student-run judicial system used to be one of the best
things about Longwood. The number of students involved now is
very high. The system was getting better slowly but surely until
these new minimum sanctions have changed the entire basis for
student decision-making.
Judicial Board Member: "I will not obey these minimum
sanctions, they will have to fire me before I go against what I believe
is right."
I urge all disciplinary board members to toss these sanctions in
the trash where they belong. The authors of this document do not
have access to the facts and testimony of the cases. Only you have
access to the information upon which to base a sanction. Only you
can decide on a fair and proper punishment for the various offenses.
If the administration forces you to follow the sanctions and ignore
your heart, your mind, then save yourself some trouble and quit the
damn boards. There are inexpensive computers that perform the
simple tasks that board members are now being asked to do. The
minimum sanctions have eliminated your usefulness. Your time can
be better spent pulling up a couch, watching the tube and chugging
a cold one . Your judgement is no longer needed.

Letters To The Editor
ARA Workers
Respond
TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1986 THE I^OTUNDA Page 3
To the Editor:
This letter is written in
response to last week's article
"ARA Police" written by Dina
Ezelle and Deborah Shelkey.
We'd like to clear up a few
misconceptions.
The students who serve you as
waiters and waitresses have two
or more tables to wait on. This
means they are very busy
running back and forth to bring
you your food. Every effort is
made to please you. The reason
orders are not taken until
everyone is seated, is to assure
that everyone gets their choice.
This is the result of a decision
made after complaints that we
didn't wait for everyone to be
seated. As any employee in any
establishment, we have rules we
must follow.
Yes, waiters and waitresses
are often treated rudely. The fact
of the matter is that we're your
fellow students and friends.
There isn't any need to be rude. If
you have a problem with one of
us, please see one of our
supervisors. There are usually
two student supervisors at every
meal, or you can talk to Doris
Gary, Rick Johnson, or fill out
one of the blue "response" cards.
Your complaints are taken
seriously so voice them. Instead
of sitting back and talking, do
something about it! We all care
about your complaints and every
effort will be made to improve
the problem.
Sections of the dining hall are
closed off near closing time. This
is so we can have one side of the
dining hall clean to make sure we
get done before our next classes,
etc. Doesn't it make sense to have
the few people that come in late
eat on one side rather than
scattered all over? We can't
spend the whole day in the dining
hall, and this system enables us
to get our work done and see to
our other commitments on time.
We make sure there are always
enough accommodations.
In closing, we'd like to add that
we are not monsters trying to
ruin your meal. We are here for
you but we need your
cooperation. Please help us by
cleaning up after yourselves and
treat us as you'd like to be treated
— with common courtesy and
respect. We're only human,
therefore we are capable of
mistakes but we do work hard to
make the dining hall a better
place to eat in. We'd also like to
take this opportunity to cordially
invite Dina Ezelle and Deborah
Shelkey to work in the dining hall
to see our point of view before
they form bad opinions of us.

Blackwell Dining Hall
"Bay Shore To Predge
Your Wok"
To The Editor:
I would like to know why -
liOngwood College hires so many
foreigners or professors with
accents which the students
cannot understand? This
semester this problem has been
brought to my attention because
fifty percent of my professors fill
either one or both of these
stipulations. I am finding it hard
to understand one of these
professors in particular because
she talks incoherently and does
not explain material so that the
average student can
comprehend. When one asks her
a question, she has not mastered
the English language enough to
understand your question, let
alone answer it. I would like for
the administration to sit in on her
class to see if they could solve a
problem after she had
inadequately explained the
proper method to solve the
problem.
I question not only her
credentials but also her
competence to teach. Take for
instance, the other day we had a
test with very few problems on it
and she gave us a problem that
could not be done and did not
catch her error until fifteen
minutes was left during regular
class time.
I have maintained a 3.0-1-
average since my second
semester here so it is not my
stupidity that prevents me from
learning the material dictated by
incompetent foreign professors.
One could advise me to register
for classes taught by true
Americans but in two cases these
foreigners are the only professors
that "try to teach" these
particular classes and in the
other instance it was a choice
between two foreigners. I
encourage the administration to
answer my question of why hire
foreigners that do not deserve the
pay check we provide when they
do not perform their job of
educating us.
Name withheld until
grade received!
The SGA Is Rolling
My Fellow Students,
I would like to take this opportunity to communicate some in-
formation that I feel is important to you as a student at Longwood, a
"State of the Association" address if you will.
The upcoming elections on April 17 virill be the one of the most im-
portant elections in a long time. We will be voting not only on new class
officers and honor-judicial board members, but also on a new
visitation policy and the amendments to the SGA Constitution.
Deb Anas and the Residence Hall Life Board have been hard at work
all semester formulating a new visitation policy for the student body, I
will return to Longwood in May to present the proposal to the Board of
Visitors. If passed by the Board, it will take effect next semester.
We have also been working this semester on a much needed revision
of the SGA Constitution. I will not attempt to list all of the changes
here, but let me summarize them by saying that we have basicallv
abolished the Executive Council and reorganized the executive powers
under a more realistic Student Senate.
There have also been some developments in the state legislature
that will be of interest to you. The General Assembly has approved
revenue bond projects which include 5 million dollars for the greek
housing project, 1.3 million for the renovation of Cox and Wheeler into
efficiency apartments, and 1.1 million for the acquisition of additional
parking areas. Also in the project is money for the replacement of
bathroom plumbing, fixtures and tiles in Cox, Wheeler, Stubbs, and
South Cunningham.
We have many more plans for the rest of the semester and next year,
all of which are at a stage where we need your input to help us make
the best decisions for all of us. I urge you all to come out to Student
Government meetings and exercise your voice. Meetings are held
every Thursday at 6:00 in the Conference Center of Lankford.

Next Week:
Dear Mr. Editor,
This last Monday I had the
misfortune to visit your
Longwood Campus while driving
an automobile. In most cities,
towns, and even college
campuses a car is not considered
a liability (we will not consider
New York City) but when I
arrived on your spacious campus
I quickly began to note a serious
lack of space for guests. Is it that
guests are not welcome here? Is
the administration enibarrassed
of something that they don't want
outsiders to see? Low admission
standards are hard to see from
the road anyway! I quite frankly
was upset but not near as upset as
the next morning when I hiked
back to my car only to discover a
ticket on it. I guess that guests
have to be out by 8:30 in the
morning! Tell me Mr. Editor,
does your administration handle
everything with such brilliance?
Are all problems handled with
efficiency, some how I doubt it.

Dear Editor,
There are some of us on the
Longwood campus who have
recently discovered an appalling
situation centered in our newly-
acquired television rooms. Some
inconsiderate girls are taking
their dates over to the Lankford
Building for a presumed night of
watching the "telly", and turning
our precious television rooms
into makeout headquarters for
the unimaginative. Now why
can't these people find some
other place for their "courting'
and sparkin' " instead of taking
up a whole couch and a whole
television room? It would be fine
for couples to gather, several in a
room, but they should be willing
to share the room with the
dateless and not demand privacy
for their own concerns. Those TV
rooms were built for the
enjoyment of all, not just a few,
and they were equipped with
televisions and furniture for the
comfort of all. So please, those of
you who are guilty of this, don't
come to the TV rooms unless you
want to watch television, with
company.

all. It would seem that a system
of unlimited cuts in all classes
(with the possible exception of
performance classes) would
serve to keep both students and

About this drinking within

Will social offenses increase? Are

Perhaps this permission is on a
trial basis; but unless the girls
who take advantage of this

and maturity, this trial drinking
rule may become a thing of our
fantasy! So be careful; don't

Dear Editor,
As seniors looking back over
four years at Longwood, we have
seen many beneficial changes
take place, both social and
academic. One of the most
favorable of these has been that
concerning class attendance, but
we feel that there is still room for
improvement. Under the present
system each professor makes his
own regulations regarding
attendance in his classes, but it
doesn't take one long to realize
that it is most often those

Advanced Scuba Spring
Breaks In Bahamas
By NELSON BORDEAU
Everyone in our advanced
scuba class anticipated the
Bahamas to be a perfect
paradise, and it was.
The first night of our adventure
brought us to the island of Bimini.
Bimini is a very small island; you
could walk around its perimeter
in about fifteen minutes. The
island itself was once a coral reef
which resembled hardened lava
rock with deposits of sand and
shells scattered amongst its
surface. Large leafy palm trees,
provided shade to make the sun's
intense heat a little more
bearable, protruded all over the
island. In the middle of Bimini
lies one dusty dirt road. On the
roadside there were small gift
shops and plenty of places to get a
cool, intoxicating beverage.
Early the next morning our
class left the island and headed
for our first dive site! When we
arrived for the dive, the captain
informed us we would observe a
sixty foot tug boat which had
wrecked there last year. Dive
partners were paired up and
splashed in one after the other.
Under the crystal blue water laid
the rusty framework of the boat
about thirty yards away. The
water clarity in the Bahamas
made visibility a perfect pleasure
for the diver. As we swam closer
to the boat, marine life multiplied
in abundance. There were fish of
all shapes and sizes bearing all
the colors of the spectrum. While
looking inside the boat the
beamlike structures which held
the frame together were covered
with hardened coral formations
and barnacles which blemished
the entire wreck. It was hard to
believe that so many
invertebrate and vertebrate
animals could find their home on
a boat that had only been
wrecked within a year's time.
Throughout the trip our class
made many more dives (12
total). Each new dive was a
refreshing learning experience
as well as an adventure. By the
end of the trip each student had
completed the requirements to
receive their Advanced Open
Water Divers certification.
The boat ride back to the
United States left most of us with
long faces, knowing that in a
couple of days our spring break
would be over and soon we would
be behind the desks at Longwood
again, finishing up the rest of the
semester. Although our Bahamas
Miss Longwood 19M Martha Proltt, Miss Longwood 1M5 Kim Kenworthy, and Miss Texas
show us tlieir oearlv wliites.
trip was short, it's something that
we'll never forget.
Any students who are
interested in taking scuba diving
as an elective next year will be
eligible for the annual Bahamas
trip upon completion of scuba
class. Scuba class lasts one half
of a semester and will start this
September. Jim Glasser is the
instructor of the course and he's
more than willing to get you
started. For more information
about scuba class, check your
Longwood College Catalog and
register for an adventure of a
lifetime!

Opinion: IT-e N. Pe, PoUey "^l^'Sf Stj
By ROBIN MEEK
Remember your first few
weeks as a college freshman, the
feelings of being homesick, of
missing your family and friends,
but most of all your pet? A pet
can be a best friend and a
security blanket when facing the
new challenging world of college.
Why doesn't Longwood
College allow pets other than fish
and why do they exclude the
carnivore family? When I say
pets, I do not mean horses or St.
Bernards — just easy to handle,
house raised dogs and cats.
The R.E.C. of the Collonades
gave me the following reasons for
not allowing pets in the residence
halls: fleas, allergies of the other
students, and the problem of
confinement. Last year
Longwood had to purchase
approximately two hundred new
mattress and boxsprings because
of flea infestation. The exact
cause of the flea problem could
not be proved as the result of a
house raised animal, but it was
suspected, according to Rick
Weibl, Director of Housing. If a
pet's owner is confined to the
room with his pet, wouldn't he
invest in methods of preventing
fleas for the pet's comfort as well
as his own?
I recently read a letter
submitted to Ann Landers that
stated it is actually better for a
cat to keep him confined in your
house instead of letting him run
loose out doors. When the animal
is outside he has a better chance
of picking up various diseases
and insects. Granted one dorm
room is not exactly adequate
room for a pet to run and play in,
but think of the constant love and
attention you and your roommate
can give the animal.
I feel the only substantial
argument the housing office has
regarding the no pet policy is for
the occupant who is to inhabit
your room after you and your pet
leave, if he or she suffers from
allergies. This can easily be
solved by designating a hall to be
used, year after year, for the sole
purpose of pets and their owners.
Shouldn't someone get a special
interest form raised for a hall
that would allow pets?
Another gripe Rick Weibl of the
Housing Office has was that
3 WEEKS UNTIL
APRIL 12, 1986
BE THERE!
come the end of the second
semester when the students are
packing up to go home they tend
to leave their pets on campus.
Mr. Weibl approximated that
last May there were between
twenty to twenty-five cats left
wondering around campus. It
could not be proved that all of
these animals belonged to the
students, but, nevertheless,
homes had to be found for all of
the felines. If a student has the
pet with him all year he should
have become very attached to it
and should not just discard the
animal at the end of the school
year.
In high school, certain rights
and privileges were denied to us
because a select few would abuse
the rules. This is college, and we
are supposed to be adults and
should be treated accordingly.
Why not let those of us who want
the responsibility of maintaining
a pet have the opportunity to
prove that we are adults in a way
other than just by our ages. We
should not let the crusade for a
hall for pets and their owners
turn out like the twenty-three
hour visitation rights.
Create
cleanness.
A litter bit
at a time.
Following last year's Room
Selection Process, the Housing
Office sent an evaluation of the
process to 200 randomly selected
resident students asking them
their thoughts and opinions
about the process. The results of
that evaluation have been used
to improve this year's Room
Selection process.
Several improvements that
returning students can look for
this year relate primarily to a
desire for more information
about the process being
available. Therefore, the Housing
Office intends to make better use
of posters and the ROTUNDA.
After improvement will be the
offering of two ROOMMATE
SEARCH SOCIALS. Given the
success of last year's effort, it
was decided that two socials
would allow for those persons
needing to fill their room-suite or
seeking to find a roommate to
have a greater opportunity to
locate one another. The socials
are scheduled for April 2nd and
15th in the Virginia Room at 5:45
p.m.
Finally, the process has been
slightly modified to make waiting
in line less of a problem.
Returning students will be able to
obtain assignment cards and
lottery number any of three days
by coming to the Tabb first floor
lounge. Number Draw will be
April 7, 8, and 9 from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m.

One thing that has not changed
is the effort on the part of the
Housing Office to make the
process as simple and hassle free
as possible.
For the second year, the
Housing Office will be offering
rising seniors the opportunity to
live off campus. The Senior
Ix)ttery will be implemented as a
part of the Room Selection
Process and will be used to
permit up to fifty resident
students who have earned and
are attempting enough credit
hours (90) to be considered
seniors next fall.
All resident students who were
eligible received specific
information via campus mail.
The Housing Office will notify
the fifty residents released from
the residency requirement prior
to room selection so that they will
not compete with other residents
selecting rooms. If they are
unable to find a place to live off
campus, they may still be housed
where space is available. ARA
Dining will also be providing
meal plan options for off campus
students as it has done in the
past.
The Board of Visitors have
authorized the use of a lottery as
a means of dealing with an
anticipated housing "crunch."
Next year as the result of the
closing of South Cunningham for
spring semester and a greater
number of new students desiring
to attend Longwood it is believed
we cannot accommodate
everyone in the halls.
Taken To
The Limit
The lower dining hall was taken
to the limit with the LIMIT on
Friday night. Sun had organized
the buying of beer in a different
fashion this mixer. Tickets could
be bought at two different
locations in the mixer. It seemed
to work much better carding the
students once they were in the
mixer.
The LIMIT played both pop and
new wave music.
AXP served beer to all patrons
for 75 cents a cup. Both negative
and positive comments were
made on the price of beer. If you
have any suggestions or com-
ments about the mixer or any
SVN events — I urge you to come
forward and give your
suggestions.

Book Review: Clan Of The Cave Bears
ByCHARISSEMcGILL
The Clan of the Cave Bears is a
group of men, women, and
children who live in a cave about
the time Homo-Sapiens began.
According to Victor Bamoiw
who wrote An Introduction to
Anthropology, the Clan were
Neanderthal Men. The
Neanderthal Man had a thick
skull, low brow bridges, heavy
chinless jaws and teeth, and
facial protrusions. The skull often
had a low elevation. The
Neanderthal skulls were often
very long, and broadened out
behind the ears. They often had
broad noses, large eye sockets
and a forward projecting upper
jaw. The mouth was very broad,
and the neck was thick and heavy
with muscles. The leg bones were
bowed, but the Neanderthal stood
upright. The men had barrel
liked chest and powerful arms
and legs. The women had breasts
and had a menstral cycle like the
woman of today. The
Neanderthal man stood about
five feet tall and the woman
about four feet nine inches.
Neanderthals did not have the
vocal capacities of humans
today, but made limited sounds
and hand gestures to constitute a
language. Evidence shows
Neanderthals hunted and used
fire. They were the first to bury
their dead. Sometimes graves
were dug in the back of the cave
and the bodies were put into the
fetal position.
The book. Clan of the Cave
Bears, begins with the Clan
searching for a new cave. An
earthquake has destroyed their
home. A human girl of five years
old is also stranded by the
earthquake. When the girl tries to
find food and shelter, she is
attacked by a cave lion, who
wounds her but does not kill her.
The clan stumbles upon the little
girl in their search for a new
cave.
The Clan's medicine woman
treats the girl and begs to bring
her along on the journey. The
Clan is weary, because it is
against their tradition to allow
anyone but clan to be amongst
them. Since the girl was hurt the
leader agreed to bring her along.
Long wood Offers Tour
To Germany
Among the opportunities
Longwood College is offering
during the summer of 1986 is the
"Fair Tale Festival Tour," a two-
week visit to the Hesse and Weser
areas in central Germany where
the Brothers Grimm collected
folk tales, myths, and legends
and wrote them down as
Grimms' Fairy Tales.
The tour is scheduled for
August 6-20 and will be directed
by Dr. Mary Stuart Woodbum,
associate professor of education
at Ix)ngwood.
The tour will be of particular
. benefit to educators who work
with children. Dr. Woodbum
said, but also is designed "for
families to enjoy together."
Academic credit is available, and
expenses are tax deductible if the
tour is used to maintain or
improve professional skills.
The itinerary in Germany
includes Frankfurt, Marburg,
Kassel, Hamelin, Bremen, and
numerous villages and hamlets.
Visits to special exhibits, fairy-
tale castles and theme parks,
museums, local festivals,
marketplaces, inns, lectures and
performances are among
highlights of the tour.
The tour group will enjoy
magnificent scenery along the
Rhine River, in the Rhinegau
vineyards, the Vogelsberg
Mountains, and the thnusand-
, year-old forest of
Rhinehardswald; outstanding
examples of Gothic architecture,
including the Cologne Cathedral,
the University of Marburg, the
Town Hall of Goettingen, and the
13th-century St. Elisabeth
Church; and visits to castles,
fortresses, inns and taverns that
date from the 12th century.
The cost of the tour is $1,695,
plus $160 tuition fee. Included are
round-trip air fare (New York to
Brussels and return), land
transportation, continental
breakfast daily plus 10 dinners,
accommodations in first or
superior class tourist hotels,
entrance and guide fees, lectures
and performances.
For complete information on
the Fairy Tale Festival Tour,
write or call the Office of
Continuing Studies, Longwood
College, Farmville, VA 23901,
telephone (804) 392-9256.
The enrolknent deadline for the
tour is June 1.
When the girl gets better, she
finds the Clan a cave to live in.
The Clan is weary of her but
accepts her because she led them
to a place where they could hunt
and live in safety.
The girl lives with the Clan and
learns the ways of the Clan. She
becomes one of them even though
she is different. She becomes the
daughter of the medicine woman,
and as she is accepted more and
more she becomes a medicine
woman herself.
Clan of the Cave Bears deals
with emotions such as fear, love,
hatred, and jealousy. This book
shows how two different stages of
human beings live together and
the joys and problems they face.
It portrays the beginning of Man
and how the world may have been
before the dawn of the Homo
Sapien. To read Clan of the Cave
Bears is to see the beginning of
the world, and how other humans
may have survived in it. I would
suggest Clan of the Cave Bears as
enjoyable reading for anyone
with a vivid imagination.

A PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER
ordered anti-Adolfo Calero
slogans painted on a Duke U.
bridge to be blotted out before the
Nicaraguan contra leader,
scheduled to speak there,
arrived. The director of public
safety says, "We should not be
concemecl about political signs
. . . somebody in public safety
made a mistake and I'm not real
happy about it."
ILLEGAL BICYCUSTS could
cost the U. of Arizona as much as
$100 million in federal aid if a
veteran wins a lawsuit
concerning violations of Federal
Handicap Regulations. A lack of
bicycle regulations has allowed
students to lock their bikes to
handicap rails and in front of
doors. The president of the UA
Veternans Club — a handicapped
person — says he will sue if UA
does not regulate the bikes.
A BILL TO PHOHIBIT
HAZING by student
organizations died recently in a
Indiana legislative committee.
The committee chair says hazing
is already covered under a state
"recklessness" statue, but the
Indiana U. dean of students says
that "Whatever is avialable is not
being used for hazing."
A FILM entitled "Football
Fever Strikes Again," shown to
hall and fraternity residents at
Northwestern U., surprised its
audience and prompted housing
officials to toss penalty flags. The
movie's sponsor, Campus
Crusade for Christ, told hall
officials that the film was full of
football highlights and would be a
good warmup for the Super
Bowl — but failed to mention the
fibn's religious overtones. "They
didn't lie to us," says one official.
"They just presented it to us
completely wrong."
THE FLOOR SHIRTS,
designed for the residents of a
Michigan State U. hall, are
eliciting mixed feelings from the
men who are supposed to wear
them. The front of the shirts say,
"We draw the line at ugly
women," while the back of the
shirts bear a drawing of a "pig
lady" with a red line running
through it. "This is a college,"
one resident says. "You expect
more maturity."
STUDENTS LIKE THE IDEA
of seeing syllabi before enrolling
for courses, according to a
survey by the U. of Oklahoma
student government. The survey
also found that students are
evenly divided on the question of
a plus and minus grading system,
and overwhelmingly prefer cans
over cups for their soft drinks.
A $4 MILLION BUDGET
makes the U. of Florida student
government one of the richest in
the nation for schools of
comparable size. The U. of
Michigan's student government
controls $2 million, Florida State
U.'s $1.7 million, and the U. of
California-Berkeley's $900,000.
lx)ngwood's SGA has a budget of
$1000.
A PETITION calling for a
recall election for the U. of
Hawaii student government
president was submitted to the
student senate with twice the
number of required signatures.
The petition charges the
president with running an
"unethical and illegal"
campaign, using student funds to
hire an assistant and to pay for a
dinner for himself and two
guests, and failing to fulfill
campaign promises.
UNIVERSITY OFFICIAI.S at
Northern Illinois U. are
tampering with financial figures
to make it appear as though the
student government's operation
of the Student Food Service is
losing money, according to
charges made by the student
government president. The
president says NIU wants to turn
the food services over to a private
contractor. "We know what their
game is," he says, "and they're
going to have to start playing
fair."
"DEBBIE DOES DALLAS"
was shown by a .student group at
the U. of Illinois as a protest
against the student government's
efforts to ban pornographic films
from campus. The X-rated film
attracted more viewers than all
six shows of each of the other
three movies ("Footloose,"
"French Connection" and
"Raiders of the Ix)st Ark") on
campus that weekend.
THE ROTC BUILDING WAS
"BOMBED" with confetti and
flowers when more than 30 U. of
California-Santa Barbara
students engaged in a mock war
game to make an anti-military
statement. "What is this, the
'60s?" asked an angry ROTC
administrative assistant.
"SAFE" (Straights Against
Faggots Everywhere) is a -
.student group organized at the U.
of Delaware to stop the funding of
the school's Gay and Lesbian
Student Union. Meanwhile,
students at Utah State U. formed
the Heterosexual Alliance to
"discourage publicity about
homosexuality." USU also has a
Gay and Lesbian Alliance.
MYSTERIOUS GRAFFITI
ARTISTS have students at the U.
of Wisconsin baffled. The graffiti
- a circled letter J — has been
appearing on campus building,
desks and blackboards, but no
one seems to know its origin or
meaning.

Softball Takes
Tough Opener
The fine line between winning
and losing in any sport often
hinges on defense, and such has
been the case for Longwood's
women's soft ball team thus far in
the season. The Lady Lancers got
off to an 0-6 start last week,
despite out-hitting opponents in
several games.
Walks have also played a role
in longwood's slow start. Lady
Lancer pitchers have issued 44
free passes in the first six games.
In Saturday's first-game, 13-8
loss to a strong Lock Haven
team. Long wood had 10 hits to the
visitors' five, but six Lady
Lancer errors negated the hitting
advantage. Mary Dailey had
three hits and Penny Gough two
for longwood in the opener.
It was all Lock Haven in the
nightcap as the Pennsylvania
team took a 9-1 win.
This week Longwood will seek
to bounce back with a visit to
North Carolina-Greensboro
Monday and a home meeting with
Chowan Wednesday at the
Farmville Armory Field.
Wednesday's twinbill tips off at
3:00.
Ijongwood's top hitters so far
are Gough (.368), Tina Hall with
a .333 average, three doubles and
two triples, Dailey (.333) and Jill
Everett, .316. The Lady Lancers
have a respectable team batting
average of .272.
Tuesday against Virginia
Wesleyan, Longwood totaled
eight hits in the opener to three
for the Marlins but came out on
the short end of 5-2 contest. Five
errors hurt the Lady Lancers.
Hitting leaders were Julie
Biscoe, Lois Kinch and Hall with
a pair of safeties each.
Longwood took a 3-0 lead in the
nightcap, but Wesleyan rallied
with an eight-run third inning,
and took the victory 12-5.
In last Monday's season opener
Longwood out-hit Vermont 7-6 but
committed five errors, helping
the visitors take a 6-2 win. Hall
went 3-4 with two doubles and a
triple and Everett had two hits to
lead Longwood at the plate.
Vermont took the second game
10-7 despite two hits each from
Dailey, Gough and Everett.

Golf Team
Takes Second
Despite a medalist 78 from
newcomer Richard Hardy
Longwood's men's golf team
finished second behind Hampden-
Sydney Friday in a three-team
match at Longwood Golf Course.
The Lancers, who are playing
in the Elon College Tournament
Monday and Tuesday, totaled a
337 to finish six strokes behind
Hampden-Sydney's 331. Virginia
Wesleyan was third at 370.
In addition to Hardy's nine-
over-par 78, Longwood got an 82
from Ty Bordner an 86 from
Mark Marshall, 91 from Kevin
Hare, 92 from Chris Gray, and 99
from Jeff Ramey. Joe Bemat
shot an 85 for Longwood, playing
as an individual.
"We did not play very well,"
said coach Steve Nelson.
"Neither Bordner or Marshall
are playing up to their potential
right now. It's still early in the
season, however. We have the
potential to be a good team.
Next Monday the Lancers will
play in a four-team match in
Lexington, VA with VMI,
Washington k Lee and
Bridgewater, before hosting
Hampden-Sydney and Newport

Meanwhile, the fraternity
suspened two of its own members

Player Of Week
TUESDAY. A^RCH 25, 1986 THE ROTUNDA Pag« 11
Lancer third baseman Marty
Ford came up with a defensive
gem Saturday which would have
been good enough to make the
WTBS late-night sports show as
"The Play of the Day." For that
play plus an outstanding week,
Ford has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period March 16-23. Player of
the Week is chosen by the
Longwood sports information
office.
In the fourth inning of
Saturday's opener with Mount St.
Mary's Longwood held a 3-0 lead.
The Mount had runners at second
and third with one out when the
next batter ripped a line drive
that had "hit" written all over it.
Ford dived to his right and
speared the smash before
doubling up the runner at second
base to end the inning. The
lancers went on to win the game
7-0 and sweep the doubleheader.
"That was the greatest play
I've ever seen in college
baseball," said Lancer coach
Buddy Bolding. "You won't see a
ball hit any harder than that. It
would have been a great play if
Marty had just knocked it down.
He really picked us up and took
them (The Mount) out of a

potential big inning."
In five Longwood victories last
week Ford hit .450, getting nine
hits in 20 at-bats. He had four
doubles, a triple and a homer
with eight RBI's and 10 runs as
well. He also stole six bases in six
attempts.
Hitting .367 for the season with
seven doubles, Ford ranks second
for the Lancers in RBI's with 15
and has scored a team-high 21
runs. A three-year starter, he is a
graduate of Patchogue-Medford
High School.
Gymnasts Close
Out Season
By JIM WINKLER
The Longwood gymnastics team
finished fifth out of six teams in
the NCAA Division II Southeast
Regional Championships at
Indiana University of
Pennsylvania Saturday evening.
The host school won the
championships scoring 178.40 and
will advance to the NCAA
Division II National
Championships. William & Mary
finished second (176.35) and was
followed by Towson (174.30),
West Chester (170.50), Longwood
(165.95) and Trenton (163.90).
Lisa Zuraw led the Lancers in
the competition. The senior
placed fifth in vaulting with 9.15,
just short of the Longwood
record, 9.2, which she set in the
Virginia State Meet early this
month.
Longwood Coach Ruth Budd
felt her team performed well in
the meet. "It was a high pressure
meet, and their was a lot of noise
making it very hard to
concentrate, especially on
beam," said Budd. "But the team
hung in there and performed
well." Budd also commented on
the efforts of the two freshmen on
the team. "Our freshmen
performed well under pressure.
Kim Booth had a no-fall meet.
competing on floor and beam.
She scored 8.65 on beam and
really did a good job," said the
Longwood coach. "Lynda
Chenoweth (Longwood's other
freshman) also had a good meet,
but was very underscored on
beam, receiving less than 8.0,"
said Budd. Chenoweth scored a
personal career best in vaulting
(9.0) inthe competition.
Along with Zuraw, Kelly
Strayer competed for Longwood
for the last time. The senior
scored 33.85 in all-around. It was
just the third time this season
Strayer was able to compete in
all events, as she has been
recovering from an early season
injury.
Budd was not as pleased with
the judging in the competition as
she was with her team's
performance. "A few of us (the
coaches) felt the judging was
bias towards the .home team,"
said Budd. "We felt William &
Mary should have won the
competition, not lUP."
It was the eighth time in nine
years that the Longwood
gymnastics team had competed
in post-season competition and
the seventh consecutive year.
The Lancers finished the season
with an 8-9 record.
Boosted by five wins in a row,
Longwood's baseball team enters
a six-game stretch against three
teams v^ich figure to be in the
hunt for a spot in the South
Atlantic Regional playoffs.
The Lancers host Maryland
Baltimore County for two
Tuesday at 1:00, St. Augustine's
Wednesday in a 1 : 00 twin bill and
visit always tough Norfolk State
Saturday for two games. The
UMBC doubleheader has been
scheduled for Thursday but was
moved to Tuesday. The Retrievers
and Norfolk took two from
Longwood near the end of the 1985
season, snuffing out the Lancers'
playoff hopes.
If Longwood continues to hit
the ball at a .380 clip as it did last
week, the rest of the season
should be a success.
Paced by senior Dennis
Leftwich and juniors Marty Ford,
Jeff Mayone, and Jeff Rohm,
Longwood beat Radford Tuesday
7-6,13-2, Mount St. Mary's
Saturday 7-0, 6-3, and St. Mary's
Sunday 15-1.
For the week, Rohm hit .786,
Leftwich .563, Ford .450 and
Mayone .444. The foursome also
drove in a c(»nbined 29 of
Longwood's 48 runs. Shortstop
Kelvin Davis ripped three
homers for the week.
Senior Todd Ashby and
freshman Steve Gedro turned in
the top pitching performances.
Ashby hurled a five-hit shutout in
the first-game win over Mount St.
Mary's Saturday, upping his
record to 2-1. He walked one and
struck out three.
Gedro, Uke Ashby a lefthander,
tied a Longwood record for
strikeouts wiien he fanned 12 St.
Mary's batters in Saturday's
nine-inning, 15-1 Lancer victory.
He allowed just three hits and
didn't walk a batter. Tonrmny
Norris (1983) and Richard
Vaught (1980) share the strikeout
record with Gedro.
Mens Tennis
After opening the season with 9-
0 win over John Fay Friday
morning, Longwood's men's
tennis team dropped matches to
King's College (PA) 9-0 Saturday
and I.x)ck Haven 6-3 Sunday in
play last week.
Longwood's next match is April
1 when Virginia Wesleyan visits
for a 3:30 match. The l.ancers, 1-
2, will also host Hampden-
Sydney, Newport News and Mary
Washington next week.
Leftwich got things started
against the Mount with a lead-off
homer in the first game. He
added a two-run single for three
RBI's. The biggest play of the
day was turned in by Ford from
his position at third base.
In the fourth with Longwood
holding a 3-0 lead, The Mount had
runners at second and third with
one out. Tim Wiegartner ripped a
screaming line drive toward the
hole between third and short.
Ford speared the hit and doubled
the runner at second base to end
the inning.
Ford was the hitting star of
Longwood's 6-3 win the nightcap.
He ripped a double and a triple,
driving in three runs. Junior Rob
Furth went the distance to get the
win, pitching his way out of
several jams.
Mayone, Longwood's RBI
leader for the season with 25,
drove in five runs with four
singles in Sunday's 15-1 win over
St. Mary's. Ford added three RBI
with a homer, capping a 10-run
uprising in the sixth inning.
Leftwich scored five runs in the
victory.
Leftwich is making a solid
comeback from a sprained ankle.
The centerfielder is leading the
club wiUi a .514 batting average
and has stolen seven bases in
eight attempts.
Rohm raised his average from
.333 to .500 last week including a
6-6 showing in the sweep of
Radford last Tuesday. The
catcher has 19 hits in 38 at-bats.
Longwood coach Buddy
Bolding is closing in on his
200th victory. The Lancer coach
has a record of 192-81-2 heading
into this week's action. He's in his
eighth season at LC.
The Lancers are now hitting
.325 as a team, up from a .299
batting average through the first
12 games of the season.
Longwood hit .339 in 1985.
Rugby
By DAVE LARSON
The Longwood College Rugby

Phillip Casanae started the
scoring in the first half with a
drop kick from 30 yards out. With
about 20 minutes to go in the half,
David Larson scored back to
back tries for Longwood, this
ended the half at 17-0.
In the second half Brian Liming
started the scoring with a tri.
David Rackley followed with two
tries and Danny Nero and Tracey
Kilby combined ended the game
with the last tri.
The Longwood club had an
excellent afternoon of Rugby and
would like to thank everyone that
came out to the game for their
support. They would also like to
invite everyone out to see
Longwood play the University of
Richmond next Saturday the 29th
of March at the President's field.

Women's Lacrosse Jumps Out
To 3-0 Mark
liOngwood's women lacrosse
team marked the debut of first-
year coach Sue Finnie with road
victories over Mary Washington
and Hollins, plus a homefield
triumph over Sweet Briar last
week as senior scoring leader Sue
Groff tallied 17 goals and
goalkeeper Kate Scanlon notched
31 saves.
Groff, the top career scorer at
Longwood, had 6 goals in
Tuesday's 12-9 win over the Blue
Tide, seven more in Wednesday's
15-2 shellacking of Hollins and
four in the 12-6 win over Sweet
Briar Friday. She added six
assists in the three outings.
Scanlon 's play was a major
factor in Longwood getting off to
a 3-0 start. She came up with 12
saves against Mary Washington,
eight against Hollins and 11 in
Friday's win over Sweet Briar.
Coach Sue Finnie termed
Friday's win over Sweet Briar "a
big one."
"Sweet Briar is probably one of
the four best teams we'll play,"
said Finnie. "Our play in the
second half really won it. We did
a better job of containing their
top scorers."
Longwood led 7-4 at the half
and outscored the visitors 5-2 in
the second period.
Other defensive leaders for
Longwood last week were seniors
Sharon Bruce and Tammy
Marshall.
Senior Teresa Alvis had seven
goals in the three games while
Caren Forbes had five goals and
six assists. Forbes, the assist
leader on the Longwood women's
baskeball team, has now
channeled her playmaking
abilities into lacrosse. Another
eager Karen Boska had four
goals in the victories and a team-
high four assists in the win over
Sweet Briar.
Longwood will be idle until
resuming play April 3 when
Roanoke comes to visit.

Longwood Begins Cooperative
Engineering Program With
University Of Virginia
Longwood College has
established a dual-degree
program with the University of
Virginia in which students will
earn a bachelor's degree in
Physics from Ix)ngwood and a
master's in Nuclear Engineering
or Engineering Physics from
U.Va.
Students will be enrolled in
I^ngwood's physics program for
the first three and a half years
and must complete HI credit
hours with at least a "B"
average. Then they enter U.Va.'s
School of Engineering and
Applied Science as a
"conditional" undergraduate.
After taking a semester of
appropriate courses, they are
admitted unconditionally into the
graduate program of either
Nuclear Engineering or
Engineering Physics. That takes
about 12 months to complete.
"This program is a packaging
of existing courses, both here and
at the University of Virginia,"
said Dr. L. Raymond Fawcett,
director of Longwood's Physics
and Pre-Engineering programs.
"It offers the students something
unique without extra expense to
the cooperating institutions. It
doesn't involve any new courses,
faculty or equipment."
A detailed "memorandum of
understanding" between the two
institutions was signed March 10
by Dr. James Adams,
Longwood's vice president for
Academic Affairs; Dr. Fawcett;
Dr. T.G. Williamson, chairman of
U.Va.'s Department of Nuclear
Engineering and Engineering
Physics; and Dr. James L. Kelly,
a member of that department
and program administrator.
The new program takes effect
immediately; current Longwood
students can take advantage of it,
said Dr. Fawcett.
The so-called "S^^ + P/^"
program is similar to other
cooperative arrangements
between Longwood's physics
program and engineering
programs at Old Dominion
University, the Georgia Institute
of Technology, and U.Va.
Longwood already has a "3+2"
program with U.Va. whereby
students earn a bachelor's in
Physics and a master's in
Electrical Engineering. The
programs with ODU and Georgia
Tech result in two bachelor's
degrees, one in Physics and
another in Engineering.
"It's a creative and innovative
way of putting the pieces together
into a package that is good for
Longwood, good for the
University of Virginia, and good
for the student," said Dr.
Fawcett, who has worked on the
program with Dr. Kelly for the
past year and a half. "It is a wise

anthropology students should
always remember to have a
passport, some suitcases, and a
sense of adventure.
Later this year, three
anthropology majors, following a
pattern of recent years, will
pursue their studies in foreign
lands. Betsy Chalfant and Keith
Russell will participate in an
archeological project at an
ancient site in the Middle East,
and Denise Rast will study at the
University of Londgon's Institute
of Archaeology.
In the past two years, four
other anthropology majors have
studied at various locations
around the world. That's not bad
for a program which currently
has only 17 majors.
Chalfant, a sophomore from
Charlottesville, and Russell, a
senior who has spent about half
his life abroad, will take part in
the "American Expedition to
Petra" — a survey and
excavation project in Jordan —
from June 20 to August 16. Only
about a dozen college students
from the United States and
Europe go to Petra each
summer.
Located in a desert east of
the Jordan River, Petra is
roughly halfway between the
Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba.
The site contains the ruins of a
rock-hewn city that was the
capital of the Nabataeans, an
Arab people whose kingdom
flourished from the fourth
century B.C. through the second
century A.D. Petra, an important
trading center in the ancient
Middle East, was conquered by
the Romans in A.D. 106, was
apparently abandoned after an
earthquake in 551 and was
"rediscovered" in 1812.
The American Expedition to
Petra ( AEP) is sponsored by the
University of Utah and directed
by Dr. Philip C. Hanunond, an
anthropology professor there. An
authority on Nabataean culture,
he has worked at Petra, on and
off, for more than 30 years. The
AEP, which is worth 12 academic
credits, was begun in 1973.
Nestled in a valley amid red-
(from left): Betsy Chalfant, Keith Russell and Densise Rast
sandstone mountains, Petra is
noted for its natural beauty. The
site is accessible only on foot or
horseback through a deep,
narrow canyon. "Petra owes its
uniqueness to the monuments
elaborately carved from the
dramatically colored living rock
of the flanking cliffs and
surrounding mountains,"
according to Encyclopedia
International.
The expedition will be
Chalf ant's first trip abroad. "I've
Editor Impeached
Frank Raio, Rotunda Editor
since September 1985, was
forced to resign his post late last
week amidst a sea of
controversy. The Rotunda staff
asked Raio to resign in light of
"his declining motivation and
increased ego." Many of the
exact reasons for his dismissal
are being withheld as part of the
'resignation agreement', but the
Mazda RX-7 purchased by Raio
during Christmas Break will be
sold and the money returned to
The Rotunda account.
Raio, who had been credited
with the increase in circulation of
the Rotunda to 3,000 copies per
week, was allegedly under
tremendous pressure to "outdo
himself" every week. One staff
member commented that "He
(Frank) was going loonie! He
would storm into the office and
start throwing last week's paper
at anyone there. Then he would
sit at his desk and laugh at every
story that had been turned in.
One time, we caught him lying on
the floor kissing a picture of Amy
(his girlfriend who is
student teaching in Korea)."
Raio has been seeing
"professional help" in Lynchburg
since January. Presently, he is
staying with a friend of the
family until a decision has been
made on a pending application to
excuse him from classes the rest
of the semester.
The Rotunda will continue to
publish with Barrett "Mick"
Baker as acting Editor-in-Chief.
Baker, who has been on the
Rotunda staff since the fall of
1984, and has a background of
experience in "Union

Asked about the recent incident,
Baker conunented, "First, I'm

A Letter
Of Thanks...
Reverse Discrimination
On Drill Team
To the Editor:
I know members of the staff
aren't supposed to writ^ letters to ,
the Editor but this is more a '
letter of thanks than \
controversy, so perhaps you will j
print it anyway. I
The Ix)ngwood Company of
Dancers recently held their
annual Spring Concert — an
event that I had the pleasure of {
helping out with. Unfortunately,
since last weekend just happened
to be the time during which
Easter falls, the crowds that
attended the performances were
disappointing compared to all the
hard work that goes into such a
production. Hence, this letter is
one of encouragement.
Many people don't realize just
how much work goes into a large
scale production like this — and
let me just interject that it is a lot
— so they can't truly appreciate
the effort. In that context, I would
personally like to thank the crew
that helped out, including Mike,
the spot man, Jennifer, the sound
lady and Glenn, who did ju3t
about everything else.
I would also like to personally
thank Company Director, Pipsa
Nieminen for her patients and
suggestions and to all the
Company members for their help
and understanding, not to
mention my gift — its good to
know when your efforts are
appreciated.
Finally, I would especially like
to thank Sherry Massey and Deb
Robbins for walking me home at
night (as I'm afraid of the dark)
and for boosing my confidence
up during those times when I
didn't think we'd ever make it. It
was tough, but the more you told
me I could do it, the closer we got
to getting it done.
Again, thank you for
everything — I love you all !

Recently, an incident was
brought to my attention that I
found truly appalling.
A young female student here at
Longwood, took the initiative to
start a drill team. She took the
time to find a sponsor, set up
tryouts, and select a panel of
judges. She posted signs
have been told not to try out for
the squad.
Sue Saunders, in all her
wisdom, made these two
individuals co-captians without
them even trying out for the
squad. This will only result in
mounting tension. Also, there
must be another tryout for their

tryouts, which were open to
anyone wishing to try out for the

girls were selected to be a
member of Longwood's First
Drill Team. During this period,
two black, female students
expressed their desire to be on

present a problem. They were

After 20 Years...
By DEBORAH L. SHELKEY
On April 13, 1986, Farmville's
Wesley Foundation is throwing a
paper into the fire. A 20-year
mortgage will be paid off this
spring. The Foundation, or
Center is a recreation spot, study
area, conference space, or just
get-away room for the students of
Longwood and Hampden-Sydney
Colleges.
The Virginia Conference
United Methodist Church had a
higher education campaign and
set a goal of $10 million, but
received $7 million to go toward
colleges and Wesley
Foundations. VPI & SU and U:VA
had centers that were completely
paid for, but Longwood's
Foundation was left with a $60,000
debt from the cost of the building
and furniture. The first $30,000
was paid off from pledges of
Alumni, friends, churches, and
the conference, (a 10-year
period)
The remaining $30,000 was to
be paid off on a note at the bank^
from rent of the Center's
apartments. In 1965-7 the Board
members were responsible for
raising $200 each to help pay off
this incredible debt.
Students, churches, and Board
members have worked long and
hard to see this note paid off,
hence the mortgage-note-buming
celebration April 13. Bishop
Robert Blackburn is attending
and is guest preacher at
Farmville United Methodist
Church and speaker at the
Wesley Foundation Program that
Sunday. Past members of the
Board and Longwood Alumni are
attending. One hundred are
expected to come to the
celebration and witness the
flaming paper. A luncheon will be
held in Longwood's VA room. A
welcome is extended to students
and faculty who are interested in
the program. Come to the Center
April 13 at 2:00.
Spring Weekend
For the first time ever LAA will
be sponsoring something just a
little different for SPRING
WEEKEND on April 12th. No, it
won't be anything too outrageous
but it does have the potential to
be a lot of fun.
What is it? It's a tug of war
betMreen classes. lAA
understands that certain
pressure can build up between
classes. God knows that most
freshmen would love the chance
to trounce on upperclassmen (or
vice-versa). So here is your
chance! Come out and let off a
little steam. More information
will be coming out soon so be
thinking about it.
Oh! And for those of you who
can think of something besides a
mud pit to use between the teams
(the tug of war will be in front of
Stubbs). Your suggestions are
welcome.
In an effort to avoid having
numerous cars towed, I want to
reiterate the regulations
concerning parking in non-
designated and-or towing zones.
j 1. The fire lane in front of
jCurry-Frazer is not a loading
zone. It is a fire lane. Last
semester we faced an emergency
situation in which ambulance
staff were unable to assist a
student due to the enormous
illegal parking situation. Cars
will be towed from this area!
2. Parking on the grass,
particularly near Cox, Wheeler
and Stubbs is resulting in damage
to the grounds and thus costly
repair, which is biUed back to
students. We nefed to start
manicure of the lawn now, to
have it ready for graduation.
These areas are also clearly
maked as towing zones!
3. Handicap spaces are located
throughout campus and are
reserved for individuals with
appropriate decals. Other cars
will be towed!
I encourage you to review the
"fine print" of the Parking
Regulations which are available
from Campus Police. Some
students have faced tremendous
parking fines due to not reading
these regulations.
If you have trouble finding a
spot, remember the Campus
Police will give you a lift back
from the Wynne Building. Just
drop by and ask them to follow
you up there.
Thanks for your assistance
as we continue to improve the
parking situation. If you have
suggestions for improving
parking, please write them down
and drop them off at my office
(first floor Tabb). The Parking
Appeals and Policy Committee
will soon be looking at regulation
changes for next year.

"Women and Society" will be arranged around readings about
women in our own culture and other cultures. It is meant as an in-
troduction to the study of women's roles and contributions from the
perspective of anthropology and sociology. An introductory level
course in either subject is helpful but not mandatory and the course is
open to anyone in Uie community.
The readings will include such books as Wmien of the Forest
(South America), Images and Self Images (Morocco), Fenwomen
(England) and All Our Kin (United States).
Dr. Karen Armstrong, who has done field research on women's
roles in Ireland and Scotland, will teach the course.

Dance Company Spring Concert
MTV- Sex And Violence
The Longwood Company of
Dancers finished up a tough
semester of dance this weekend
with three spectacular evenings
of performance as they presented
their annual Spring Concert.
Unfortunately, the crowds that
attended were relatively small as
most people went home for
Easter weekend. However, those
who got to the show Thursday
night or stuck around this
weekend to see it, were treated to
what many consider to be the
best Dance Company show ever.
Under the direction of Finnish
exchange teacher, Pipsa
Nieminen, and with the patients
and choreography by various
Company members, the concert
contained a large variety of
different dances that appealed to
all members and age brackets of
the audience.
The show opened on a quiet
note with "Life is a Celebration",
The final dance before
intermission, "Never too old to
Dance", is based on the
Esthonian Folk Dance that
depicts how young dancing
makes you feel. (Esthonia — also
Estonia — is a constituents
republic of the Soviet Union
which lies in northeastern
Europe along the Baltic Sea.)
Choreographed by Pipsa
Nieminen and performed by
Sanna Ahvenainen, Roberta
Cook, Sandi Dovel, Lee Ann
Grimsley, Amy Harrell, Deb
Robbins, and Gail Starling.
Upon returning from the
intermission, the audience was
treated to the most interesting
composition of the evening.

studies confirmed other
observers' discomfort. "My

after viewing music videos for a minutes because of the way they
while, students became less
capable of perceiving increasing
levels of violence in the videos.
Rehman also found students
tend to excuse violence in videos
done by performers they like, and
that women students in his study
tended to view themselves as
victims of violence.
They're not the only ones
disturbed. A growing body of

by Shannon, Kim Cecil, Sandi

The next dance, "Tangooh!"
contained the mystery and
intrigue of a small cafe located
somewhere in the back streets of
the Latin Quarter of Paris.
Choreographed by Pipsa
Nieminen and performed by
Sanna Ahvenainen, Amy Baar,
Kim Cecil, Roberta Cook, Lee
Ann Grimsley, Sherry Massey
and Gail Starling.
"Feelings from Yesterday", a
solo choreographed and
performed by Pipsa Neiminen
added up to what was described
by some viewers as the best piece
all around in the concert series.
"For Farmville's Spring",
choreographed by Pipsa
Nieminen with background
music by Johann Sebastian
Bach, generally summed up the
general theme of the Spring
Concert series — the world is full
supporting contentions that
music videos often are unduly
violent or sexual.
"I think the coupling of
violence and sexual imagery is

contend "in many cases, women
were presented as upper-class

with visions of upward mobility."
They determined social status
from clothes, jewelry and cars in
the shows.
"We are making inferences,
but I think they are valid
inferences," Dominick says,
noting Billy Joel's "Uptown Giri"
with Christie Brinkley and Bruce
Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" as
examples of upward aspiring
males seducing rich females.
"I think there is some validity

DOMAIN: In an article in the Phi
Delta Kappan, former U.S. Sec.
of Education Terrel Bell says his
tenure was marred by constant
battle with an ideological
"lunatic fringe" within the
Education Department over
funding and other policies.
Many of the ideologues had a
"revolutionary and shockingly
radical agenda," which included
dismantling the department
itself, he wrote.
Much of the agenda was in a
1980 Heritage Foundation tract
called "Mandate for
Leadership," and a number of
experts on the Reagan transition
team were Heritage Foundation
grads.
Foundation VP Burton Yale
Pines called the Bell article "a
rather pathetic exercise."
Dismantling the department, in
fact, was a 1980 Reagan
campaign pledge, one that Bell
endorsed at a press conference
following his appointment as

EMPLOYEES HAVE FAKE
DEGREES, THE FBI SAYS:
Among those with phony
academic or medical degrees are
a former White House staffer and
an aide to the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, the FBI reported.
The agency did not release the
names of the pretenders.
U.S. SUPREME COURT
DROPS LETTER OF
RECOMMENDATION CASE: In
his suit. Dr. Andrew Burt
claimed former U. Nebraska
Prof. Dr. John Connolly's
negative reference letter kept
him from getting a job.
At issue was if Connolly would
have to travel out of state to
defend himself, a precedent that,
some experts feared, would
inhibit professors everywhere
from writing honest evaluations
of former students.
But the U.S. Supreme Court
dropped the case last week after
Burt said he didn't want to pursue
it, apparently relieving Connolly
of liability but leaving open the
question of requiring professors
to travel to defend their reference
letters.
POLICE ARREST TWO
BROWN U. STUDENTS FOR
PROSTITUTION: They say the
two seniors may be part of a
larger college sex ring involving
several East Coast campuses,
but the women arrested deny the
charges.
Such incidents are rare, but in
1979 a "Glo-Worm Society" sent
letters to a group of male U. of
Colrado students, suggesting
they could buy vaguely-defined
sexual services for $20.
And in 1984, an ad in the
Arizona State U. paper prompted
an investigation into an alleged
white slavery ring recruiting on
campus.
PURDUE MAY BE KICKING
NUDE OLYMPICS
PARTICIPANTS OUT OF
DORMS: Purdue banned its
annual Nude Olympics this year
because of decency laws, but
about 100 students stripped down
and ran the Jan. 21 race in the
nude anyway.
About 150 face disciplinary
actions, and now a few say
they've keen kicked out of the
Cary Quad dorms even before
they've gone through their
hearings.
LAUDERDALE POLICE
REPORT RECORD NUMBER
OF SPRING BREAK ARRESTS:
By the end of the first week of
March — barely a third of the
way through the spring break
season — Fort Lauderdale police
say they'd already made 830
holiday-related arrests, as many
as they made all last year.
They attribute the increase to
enforcing some tough new laws,
mostly governing public
drinking.
SOUTHERN CAL MOVES
STUDENTS OUT OF
EARTHQUAKE-PRONE
DORMS, AT A COST: USC has
evicted 233 students living in
dorms city officials in Los
Angeles have cited as being
unable to withstand earthquakes.
But the students are protesting
and angry because the new
housing USC wants them to
occupy may c(»t as much as $800
a semester more than their old
dorms and apartments.

FOOTBALL PLAYERS HELP
LAS VEGAS' NEW MAYOR:
Coach Don Shonka promised his
players two free meals to
distribute campaign leaflets for
Las Vegas, N.M., mayoral
candidate Leroy Sanchez, whose
two brothers are university
officials.
While Shonka said "I am not
familiar with the term
'appearance of impropriety,' "
Deputy Attorney General Kay
Marr said laws regulating public
employees' campaigning did not
seem to apply to this case.
Sanchez won last week's
election.
POLITICIAN SUES U.
VERMONT OVER POLL: A
Vermont Political Behavior class
conducted a November poll of
residents' senatorial
preferences, but Republican
candidate Anthony Doria sued
last week because the poll "led
the public to believe there were
only two candidates in the race."
Lawyer David Putter objected
that a state-run agency like the
university has a "duty not to use
the facilities, money or name to
potentially injure a candidate."
"It doesn't reflect a personal
opinion of Doria," replied Prof.
Tom Rice, whose class conducted
the poll. "It's just that he hasn't
proven himself a serious vote-
getter yet."
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
Playboy says its annual search
for publicity and collegiate
women to pose in the nude will be
among Ivy League schools ... A
Michigan State snack shop is
offering weekly drawings for
plastic pink flamingos, now
becoming a major dorm fad.
THE DRY RUSH has hit the
Indiana State U. campus. The
Interfraternity Council cited
"greater liability" and "stricter
laws" as reasons for banning
alcohol.
JUDGING FROM THE
LARGE TURNOUT of students,
the new class, "Alcohol and Drug
Abuse: From Cells to Society,"
has touched a nerve at the U. of
Califomia-San Diego. The course
coordinator says that, among
students, "there seems to be
puzzlement about the nature of
addiction as well as concern in
being able to recognize and avoid
it without completely
abstaining."
DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
SUSPENDED the 12 students
who destroyed the symbolic
shantytown. The same day, 18
other Dartmouth students were
arrested when they refused to
leave the sole remaining shanty.
The college had sent crews to
remove the shanty after the Town
of Hanover charged the structure
violated zoning laws.
SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON
fraternity members at the U. of
Michigan tore down their own
posters after the advertisements
were condemned by the Student
Assembly president. The posters
displayed the chapter's Greek
letters over the tight-shirted
chest of a woman.
THE BEANIE IS BACK. San
Diego State U.'s fraternity
rushees will be given red and
black beanies to wear "to
promote Greek identity and
school spirit." The
Interfraternity Council says
SDSU is the first campus to use
beanies to identify rushees since
the 1950s.
A CLASS EXERQSE GOT
OUT OF HAND when an assault
was staged outside a library for a
Syracuse U. law class. When the
man playing the "assailant"
drew a knife on the woman
playing the "victim," he was
tackled by a student who mistook
the acting for an actual attack,
and came to the woman's rescue.
A GRADUATE TEACHING
ASSISTANT at the U. of
Louisville is under investigation
by the school for allegedly trying
to recruit his students for the cult
of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The
TA, however, says he is being
investigated because he taught
his class in "a progressive
manner."

Longwood Anthropology Students To Study Abroad

never been west of the
Mississippi," she said. "I've been
hyper for the past week, ever
since I found out I was accepted.
I've been making my travel plans
and trying to get my passport and
visa."
"I had planned to attend
Longwood's Archeology Field
School this summer, but this
came along. It was sort of a joke
at first, when I asked for an
application. My parents didn't
think I was serious. They said to
me, 'Yeah, sure . . .' "
Russell, on the other hand, is an
experienced traveler an is keenly
interested in the Middle East. His
mother works for the State
Department and his father is
recently retired from the State
Department. Bom in Cyprus, he
also has lived in Greece,
Mozambique, Oman, Japan and
Australia. Shortly before last
Christmas, his parents moved to
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the
United Arab Emirates.
"I'm looking forward to
returning to the Middle East," he
said. "I really liked living in the
Sultanate of Oman; I liked the
geography, the weather, the
people. I took a year off school in
1983-84 and worked there as the
manager of a construction camp.
I had also lived there the previous
»i«
summer and two summers
earlier, when I worked for the
U.S. Corps of Engineers. I used to
take a four-wheel-drive jeep
and go camping and hiking every
weekend."
"The fact that Petra is in the
Middle East was one of the major
reasons I applied for the
expedition. When I saw the
brochure, I thought to myself,
'Hmm, Jordan Field School.
That's right up my alley.' "
Because of his familiarity with
the Arab world, Russell probably
will encounter less "culture
shock" than the other
participants. Dr. Hammond has
sent them a list of the rules — no
shorts (they must wear long
pants and long-sleeve shirts),
they are forbidden from:
discussing religion or politics
with Jordanian nationals, sun-
bathing will be done only in a
restricted area, and females
should not fraternize with
nationals ("they will not
understand just a friendly
approach," he wrote).
Russell is currently doing an
independent sutdy project in
which he is surveying a stone
mound site in Buckingham
Count. The site has puzzled him
so far, but he thinks it may have
been used by prehistoric Indians

for ritual purposes.
Rast will be a full-time study at
the University of London's
prestigious Institute of
Archaeology under the Institute's
"Junior Year Abroad" program.
She will take a total of six
specialized courses over the
autumn term (Oct. 1 - Dec. 10)
and spring term (Jan. 7 - March
18), and afterwards will take part
in a 10-day fieldwork project in
nearby Sussex County, England.
"In that one year I think I'll
grow in a way that would take
longer if I stayed over here," she
said. "I'm apprehensive and
nervous, but that's balanced by
the excitement of the trip. Right
now, I'm trying to find housing,
preferably with other University
of London students."
Like Russell and Chalfant, she
plans to attend graduate school
and is interested in a career in
archeology. "My experience in
the (Archeology) Field School
last summer reinforced my
desire to study archeology," she
said. "Going out and actually
excavating made me certain that
that's what I want to do. There's
excitement in just searching. My
heart's in it 100 percent."
Rast will get a chance to see
her future university when her
family takes a vacation to
England and three other
European countries from May 15
to June 2. After studying in
London, she will return for her
senior year and will graduate on
time.
At Petra, Russell and Chalfant
will be examining a site whose
earliest occupation was "at least
10,000 B.C.," according to Dr.
Hammond. A famous poem calls
Petra the "rose-red city, half as
old as time." The expedition
focuses on its period as the
Nabataean capital.
The Nabataeans were highly
skilled in ceramics, architecture,
engineering and art. Extant
structures at Petra include
temples, tombs, cisterns,
aqueducts and altars.
In the summer of 1984, three
anthropology majors studied
abroad — one participated in an
archeological program at
Westminster College in England,
another visited archeological
sites in England and Spain, and a
third studied the French
language and culture at the
University of Toulouse in France.
Last spring, an anthropology
student took part in an
archeology field school on San
Salvador Island in the Bahamas.

Act Now Or Action Later
By MATT PETERMAN
Last Thursday The House of
Representatives voted against
the $100 million of military aid to
the Nicaraguan Contras. This
serious set-back for the Reagan
Administration is just that — a
set back. It should be reversed in
order to install a democratic
government, leaving behind the
Sandanistas, who have stolen
their people's revolution and
turned it into a fight for
communism in the Southern
hemisphere.
The $100 million in aid is
prevention instead of sending U.
S. troops into Nicaragua. It will
equip, train, and field these
"freedom fighters," so that they
can effectively fight helicopter
gunships piloted by Cuban
advisers, who are presently
training the Sandanistas. With
this assistance the Contras will
not wither away, leave nothing to
dislodge the Sandanistas from
rolling up Central America,
except U. S. troops which would
inevitably be called in if the
Contras are defeated.
U. S. intervention can be
avoided with the approval of this
aid. The Contras are fighting a
war that will put down a
government trying to export its
communist ideas and supporting
terrorists in Guatemala, El
Salvador, and Columbia. The
Sandanista government, though
illegal, will continue to sponsor
terrorists and attempts to uproot
fragile democracies where they
have no right to.
The U. S. has a fundamental
right to insure that the
Nicaraguan people have an open,
democratic, and pluralistic
society as was promised to them
by the Sandanistas in 1979.
Instead of Insuring the basic civil
liberties of their people, they are
suppressing the church,
controlling the press, smashing
labor unions, and restricting
their people's movement.
Besides the above terrible
abuses of power, the Sandanistas
have also invited in the Soviet
Union. The U.S. policy towards
the Contras has not invited in the
Soviet Union as many think —
they were there before the
Contras existed, or the Reagan
Administration for that matter.
The Carter Administration, in
1979, gave the newly formed
"democratic government"
generous amounts of aid, but the
Sandanistas wanted to rule
longer than perhaps would have
been allowed to them, so they
slowly cut ties with democracy.
This communist state is too close
to the borders of the U. S. to even
think of not sending aid to the
Contras.
The Contras would prevent a
Soviet beachhead on the
American mainland which would
threaten the Panama Canal,
distract the U. S. from NATO,
and spread Communism into all
surrounding countries, including
Mexico, which in a few years
down the road, could fall into the
hands of the communist if the
opportunity exists. This would
leave the U. S. in a position of all
out war.
Many say that any type of war
can be avoided by diplomatic
means. If Nicaragua could be
steered in the path the
Sandanistas promised The
Organization of American States,
back in 1979, the U. S. would be all
for it. But with a record like the
Sandanistas, any solution would
be broken when convenient to the
communist state. The
Sandanistas would approve a
settlement to put an end to the
Contras, and when this threat to
their government is gone, take a
wreckless course to uprooting the
frail democracies in Central and
South America, with massive
assistance from the Soviet Union.
The bad press the Contras have
been getting is just not true.
Many say that the Contra force is
made up of the very people who
helped the former dictator,
Somoza, stay in power during his
repressive regime. Out of the 71
top leaders of the Contra force, 19
were in the Somoza National
Guard, 20 are former
Sandanistas, and the rest are
from the general population. It is
also important to point out that if
Marcos top military men had not
turned, Corazon Aquino, could
not have been brought to power.
The amount of $100 million is
alot, but in the whole scheme of
things, the U. S. gives billions of
dollars in aid packages to other
countries and in a situation that
could endanger national security,
it is money well spent. It is true
that more aid will be needed
down the road, but it is money for
people who will fight their own
battle; a battle that will have to
be fought by U. S. troops, if the
Contras die out.
This fear that the Contras will
die out is driving the neighboring
countries to seek peace with what
will become their permanent
neighbor — a neighbor that
makes them very nervous. It is
obvious that not many countries
will speak out against something
that could destroy them in the
future. These countries move is
an attempt to appease the
conununist state that has the
biggest military Central America
has ever seen. These countries
silently want the U. S. to put an
end to the Sandanistas'
repressive regime, that poses a
big threat to their democracies.
Saving these democracies is
the duty of the U. S. in order to
keep the American continent free
from communism, especially this
close to our borders. The U. S.
should block a Soviet attempt to
control Central America, which

could materialize if the pressure
on the Sandanistas should cease.
During this week the Senate
will vote on the aid package and
most likely pass it. Then it will go
back to the House of
Representatives again, who will
hopefully vote for a set-back for
the Soviet Union, instead of the
United States in the future. This
vote is crucial to the free world,
while guarding U. S. interest in
the region. This issue will
constantly surface until finally U.
S. troops will be called in to solve
the problem if action is not taken
today. If this is left to take care of
itself, it could haunt the U. S. in
the decades to come.

for class. Damn, I thought, what
a good mood I'm in.
I left my room, and got on the
elevator to ride ten floors to the
bottom. After the elevator filled
up, the quiet elevator stopped on
the 2nd floor. The people on the
elevator groaned, and I thought
to myself; the stairs must be
broken. When the doors opened,
Karen, a girl I danced with at
Saturday's mixer stepped on.
"Hi, Karen," I exclaimed. She
just turned and watched the
numbers hit floor number one.
The people on the elevator must
have thought; what a jerk, and I
must admit, I did feel stupid. Not
to worry I thought, there are
other women, and nothing is
going to spoil this day.
I walked down the steps in front
of Curry and was on my way to
class. Having spotted my
roommate, I waved and asked
him "How's it going?" Obviously
listening to a friend, he just
nodded and walked by. At least
he acknowledged my existence, I
thought. At this point my good
mood was faltering.
I walked past the tennis courts
and started to cross the street,
when I recognized, Betsy, a girl I
sat next to in Biology last
semester. "Hi Betsy," I said,
! with utmost sincerity. I guess she
was thinking of why her
boyfriend had
dumped her or something,
because she pretended that I
wasn't there. To be honest, that
really made my day!
Why even bother be friendly to
these people I thought; I don't
need this. With this in mind
Susan, a girl who I saw at my
mailbox every once and a while
approached. We will just pass
like total strangers, and that
moment will be over. As we
passed, I extended no greeting,
but she did: "Hi, What's up."
Being shocked, I turned around to
save the moment but she had just
just turned the comer. What a
serious pisser I thought.
Well needless to say I did get to
English, but I was in a foul mood.
I What a terrible day I thought to
myself. The same thing happened
I on the way back with few
exceptions. After arriving back
at my room, I told my
suitemates, and some visiting
girls why my day had been so
rotten. After finishing, they all
responded with: "that happens to
you too!"

use of the resources we already
have."
"This will allow someone who
is a good student to complete both
a bachelor's in physics and a
master's in engineering in
approximately five years, when
otherwise it would take a little
longer," he added.
In the electrical engineering
program between Longwood and
the University of Virginia, one
student has received a master's,
three former Longwood students
are currently at the University,
and several more Longwood
students intend to go there next
year. U.Va. officials are "very
pleased with that program," Dr.
Fawcett said.
Since Longwood first began a
dual-degree program in 1978,
with ODU, most students have
successfully completed an
engineering degree, he said.
Approximately 20 students will
have received engineering
degrees at cooperating
institutions by the summer of
1986.
At the beginning of the 1985-86
academic year, Ix)ngwood had 78
physics and pre-engineering
majors. That number has risen
steadily since 1977-78, when there
were only 15 majors. Dr. Fawcett
thinks the cooperative programs
have helped attract students. He
expects Longwood to enroll about
50 new physics majors next fall.
The new program "provides
excellent preparation for the
Ph.D. program," said the
memorandum, which also
expressed the "firm belief that it
provides a valuable new
educational opportunity for the
citizens of the Ck)nunonwealth of
Virginia."

Lancers Blow Seventh
Inning Leads,
Drop Doubleheader
To Norfolk State
An Easter weekend trip to
Norfolk turned into a nightmare
for the Longwood baseball team
Saturday. Host Norfolk State
staged rallies in the bottom of the
seventh inning in both games and
swept a twinbill from the 20th
ranked Lancers, 7-6 and 10-9.
Longwood will seek to bounce
back this week with a home
doubleheader against Virginia
State Tuesday and visits to Duke
for a single game Thursday and
to Hampden-Sydney for a twinbill
Saturday. Now 16-7-1, Longwood
was ranked 20th in Division II in a
poll released by Collegiate
Baseball last Tuesday.
After splitting doubleheaders
with Maryland Baltimot'e County
Tuesday and St. Augustine's
Wednesday, the Lancers visited
Norfolk State. The Trojans
rallied for three unearned runs in
the bottom of the seventh in
^ame one for a 7-6 win. They
wiped out a 9-5 Lancer lead with
five runs in their last bat in the
nightcap.
Helped by two hits and two
RBI's from Tommy Walsh and
the pitching of Sam Hart and
Tony Browning, the Lancers
appeared on their way to victory
in game one. Two runs in the top
of the seventh had given
Longwood a 64 lead, but a single
and two errors loaded the bases
for Norfolk in the bottom of the
seventh. A one-out triple by
Andrew Dixon provided the
margin of victory.
In the second game Roger
Baber had three hits and three
RBI's, Robert Jackson two hits
and three stolen bases, Kelvin
Davis a three-run triple and
Walsh two more RBI's as
Longwood scored four in the sixth
to take a 9-5 edge.
Norfolk State took advantage of
four walks with three base hits
and wiped out the deficit in the
last inning with five runs.
Women's Tennis
Takes Tough Loss
Visiting Elon pinned a 7-2 loss
on Longwood's women's tennis
team Tuesday in the Lady Lancer
netters' only action last week.
Gaining victories for Longwood
were Susan Miller at No. 6
singles 5-7, 6^), 7-6 and Connie;
Harrell and Mary Lynn Lawman
at No. 2 doubles 7-6, 6-1.
Now 1-2, Longwood plays at
Sweet Briar Monday, at Southern
Seminary Thursday and at
Virginia Tech's number two team
Friday.
Lacrosse/Tennis
Softball Enjoys
First Win
Of Season
Paced by the hitting of Tina
Hall and pitching of Stacey
Thompson, Longwood's softball
team notched its first win of the
season Wednesday, beating
visiting Chowan 7-3 at the
Armory Field. Chowan came
back, however, to take the
nightcap 14-11.
Now 1-9, the Lady Lancers host
Edinboro for two games
Wednesday at 3 : 00 and play in the
Methodist College Tournament
Saturday in Fayetteville, North
Carolina.
Hall cracked her second homer
of the season and drove in two
runs, and Thompson went the
distance on the mound in
Wednesday's victory. The
freshman righthander issued five
walks and struck out five while
allowing eight hits. Chris Lebel
had a triple and Bobbi Shuler a
single and an RBI to back up
Hall.
In the second game Chowan
collected 11 hits and used eight
walks to hold off Longwood 14-11.
Jill Everett had two hits with a
triple and an RBI, while Julie
Biscoe and Hall also drove in
runs for the Lady Lancers.
Longwood benefitted from 10
bases-on-balls given up by
Chowan pitching.
Longwood suffered a pair of
close losses at North Carolina-
Greensboro last Monday, bowing
5-4 and 3-2. Hall had a homer and
a single in the first game which
went nine innings. Thompson
went 3-4 in the nightcap as the
contest was called on account of
darkness after UNC-G had
scored the go-ahead run in the
bottom of the sixth.

By DAVE LARSON
This past weekend the
Longwood College Rugby Club
played a revenge match against
the University of Richmond. The
game was a very heated one in
both atmosphere and attitude.
Nevertheless, Longwood came
out on top 20-6.
The first half of the game was
the most exciting for Longwood.
Dave Rackley started the scoring
in the first thirty seconds of the
game by scoring the first tri.
Longwood scored another two
tries before the fifteen minute
mark. Both of these tries were
scored by newcomer Danny
Nero. This ended the half with a
14-0 lead by Longwood.
The University of Richmond
scored first in the second half
with a tri with only twelve
minutes to go in the game. With
the game pretty much in hand
Tom Ganun scored a tri for
Lon^ood to secure the win.
Longwood did not only get
revenge from a loss last year to
U of R's side Longwood's B side
also scored a victor>' 15-0. A tri
from Tracy Kilby and one from
Tony Lindsay were the big scores
with Dave Grant adding two free
kicks for goal.
Once again the club would like
to thank everyone for supporting
us in another winning effort. Also
we invite you out to watch the

LANQER §PQR71
Baseball: 1 For 3 In
Dual Double Headers
Neptune Boasts Supreme
Soccer Talent
Solid pitching and timely
hitting enabled Longwood to split
a pair of home doubleheaders
with Maryland Baltimore County
and St. Augustine's.
Brov/ning tossed a three-hitter
as Longwood beat UMBC 4-2 in
the first game of Tuesday's twin
bill. The Lancers fell in the
nightcap 9-3. Wednesday, after
four Lancer errors helped St.
Augustine , win the opener M,
Tony Beverley and Rob Furth
combined on a two-hitter as LC
gained the split with a 3-1 victory.
Browning allowed the visiting
Retrievers just three hits, one a
two-run homer by Doug Ward in
the fourth. The righthander
walked two and struck out five
while retiring the last nine men
he faced.
Davis provided the offense with
a run-scoring double in the
second and a three-run homer in
the fourth. Both of Davis' hits
came with two outs. With UMBC
holding a 2-1 lead in the fourth, he
poked a drive over the wall in
center field, scoring Jeff Mayone
and Baber ahead of him. Davis
now has five homers for the
season.
In the second game UMBC's
Brian Price kept the Lancer bati
under control with a seven-hittei
and the visitors pounded out 1(
hits off Furth, Beverley and E. J.
Bryant. Ward hit his second
homer of the day. UMBC was
ranked 23rd in Division II last
week.
Wednesday St. Augustine's
brought in a reputation as a
strong hitting team. The Falcons,
who were playing Longwood for
the first time in history, ripped
nine base-hits in the opener and
took advantage of four LC errors
to register the ft-6 victory.
Senior pitcher Todd Ashby held
the visitors to one unearned run
over the last three innings, after
giving up seven runs in the first
four frames. Longwood also had
nine hits in the contest, but the
Falcons turned three double
plays to blunt the LC attack.
Marty Ford drove in two runs
with a pair of hits and Mike
Raskins had a double for the
Lancers.
Ineffective the day before
against UMBC, Beverley and
All-State performers John
Barone, of Neptune, New Jersey
and Mike Edge, of Woodcliff
Lake, New Jersey, have signed
to attend Longwood College in the
fall and play for the Lancers'
NCAA Division II soccer team,
Longwood head coach Rich
Posipanko announced today.
Barone had 16 goals and 18
assists for Neptune High School
last fall while making first team
All-State Group 4. The 5-8, 160-
pound forward was also named
All-Conference, AU-Monmouth
County, and All-Shore his junior
and senior seasons.
Named as one of the top 17
players in New Jersey, he had 52
goals and 70 assists in his career.
Barone was also a first team All-
Mid-Atlantic Region selection
and made the New Jersey State
Select Team all four years. He
was also recruited by Old
Dominion and UNOGreensboro.
Barone will be the fifth Lancer
booter from Neptune. Last year's
squad included Neptune natives
Craig Reid, Mark Kremen, and
brothers Mark and Sean
TONY BEVERLY
Longwood pitcher in action against St. Augustine's Wednesday.
Furth were impressive in the
second game Wednesday.
Beverley gave up just two hits
and a run while working four and
one-third innings as the starter.
He tired in the fifth, walking
three batters, but picked up the
win to go to 3-0 for the season.
Furth came on in relief and
faced a bases-loaded situation
with only one out and Longwood
ahead 2-1. The second out came
when the Lancers foiled St.
Augustine's attempted squeeze
bunt. Calvin Butcher attempted
to bunt but Furth threw high and
catcher Roger Baber tagged out
the runner trying to come home
from third.
Furth then fanned Butcher to
end the threat. In all the junior
righthander retired seven of the
eight batters he faced. He picked
up a save for his efforts.
Tommy Walsh scored
Longwood's first run in the
second to tie the game 1-1. Walsh
singled, stole second and scored
from a third when Bill Conroy
was hit by a pitch with the bases
loaded.
Longwood took the lead in the
fourth when Baber drew a lead
off walk. Eric Killinger, running
for Baber, stole second and went
to third on an infield out. He
raced home on a wild pitch to put
the Lancers on top 2-1.
First baseman Jeff Mayone
gave Longwood a 3-1 edge in the
bottom of the fifth when he
(Continued on Page 10)
McArdle. All but M. McArdle, a
two-time AU-American, will be
back in action for Longwood next
season.
Edge collected 17 goals and 16
assists for Pascack High School
in 1985. He was picked first team
All-League, AU-Bergen County,
and All-State Group 2. He was
also named among the Top 51 in
New Jersey for 1985. A native of
England, Edge was also
recruited by Hartwick, among
others.
"I feel that Barone and Edge
have the talent to come in and
make an immediate contribution
to our soccer program," said
Posipanko. "Both players have
the potential to score some goals
for us and vye were looking to
strengthen our offense after
several of our top scorers
graduated.
"With players of this caliber
coming into the program we
should be able to maintain the
strong tradition we have built."
Longwood finished 12-4-3 and
ranked among the Top 20 in
Division II last season.
Player Of Week
Sophomore outfielder Tina
Hall, a native of Petersburg and a
graduate of Dinwiddle High
School, hit two homers last week
for the Longwood softball team
and has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period March 24-31. Player of

Lady Uncers' 7-3 win over
Chowan. Hitting .333 going into
last week, Hall has been
Longwood's top slugger with two
homers, three doubles and two
triples.

Rugby Club Wins
34-0
Hampsters
Are Next
The Longwood Rugby Club
traveled to Lynchburg this past
weekend in anticipation of a very
tough game. Last year Longwood
played Lynchburg City during
Oktoberf est in a very close game.
However, this year was a
different story, Longwood came
out on top with a very impressive
win 34-0.
The game started at a very
slow pace with the first ten
minutes looking as if Longwood
was there just to be there. Then
Phillip Casanae flurished with
two strait tries. Phillip seemed to
have started everything in the
right direction. Longwood
quickly started to play like a well
disciplined team and ended up
playing one of their best games
ever. The whole team deserves a
lot of credit for their
performance. Also scoring in the
A-side game was Tom Gonun and
Chris Jacobs. Phillip Casanae
added another two tries making it
4 tries in one game. Everyone on
the A-side as well as B-side
played an excellent game.
The B-side kept up their
undefeated season by winning on
a tri scored in the closing minutes
of the game by Alan Scalin. Way
to go guys!!
The next test Longwood will
face are the men from Hampden-
Sydney. longwood beat them last
season 41-0 and is going to try and
top that victory this year. We
invite everyone to come out and
support the Longwood Ruggers
on the 17th of April at Hampden-
Sydney.
U-Cal Students Try-
To Fire Chancellor
A special thanks goes out to all
those fans who support us every
weekend. The club has won three
in a row and are trying to finish
the season with no more losses.
This task is not unreachable with
the support of the fans and the
school.
About 2,000 U-Cal at Santa
Barbara students have signed a
petition to try to fire the school's
chancellor.
As a result, the Associated
Students Legislative Council will
vote in early April whether to put
Chancellor Robert Huttenback's
credibility to a test before
students.
The motion, which students say
probably will pass, will have no
binding authority. It's merely a
statement of student feelings.
"We got student signatures to
show it's a student movement,
not a student government verses
administration conflict. Those
are all too common," student
officer Todd Smith contends.
"The reason behind this
movement is not one particular
thing. It's his style," complains
Rich Laine another council
member.
The petition is just the latest in
a series of insults traded between
the administration and the
campus student government.
"He runs the school like a
business, but does not deal with
the consumer — students," Laine
says.
The administration, in turn,
says the student politicians are
attacking Huttenback only to try
to recoup credibility lost to
allegations of scandal and
failures to read student attitudes
accurately.
Smith maintains students' ire
began last spring when someone
overheard Huttenback say he
would flush down the toilet a
student petition for divesting
school funds in South Africa.
"The context of the situation
has been forgotten," asserts
Betsy Watson, the campus'
director of public relations.
Students had forced their way
into Huttenback's office, and
demanded he sign the petition.
Huttenback replied he would not
be bullied, Watson says.
The student officers reply the
chancellor tries to get his way
even when students disagree with
him by creating a student
government of his own choosing
and simply holding his own
campus elections when
legitimate votes displease him.
Students maintain Huttenback
subverted student government by
scheming to get his way on a
campus busing issue.
Huttenback effectively
overturned the results of an
April, 1985, student vote against
paying a fee for unlimited bus
service in and around campus by
staging a highly unusual polling
on the issue at registration last
fall.
The chancellor used the results
of the fall vote — done by
checking off a box on the
registration form — to justify
imposing the fee on students.
Watson says the administration
made a procedural mistake by
allowing the student government
to take up the issue in the first
place.
"I think (student officers) are
very embarrassed (by
subsequent student support of the
bus fee)," Watson speculates.
"They feel they have to posture
themselves to restore faith on
part of their constituency."
Moreover, Watson says the
student government is still
smarting from allegations made
last fall that some officers
mishandled student funds.
But the ' officers charge
Huttenback, unwilling to abide
any political defeat by students,
has created his own rump student
government by reactivating a
student advisory council, made
up of about 10 students
handpicked by the chancellor and
the school's deans.
Although the advisory council
has no official power, "their
symbolic power is tremendous,"
Smith argues, adding that
Huttenback can use the group to
demonstrate to the board of
regents that he has the consensus
of students on his policieis.
Pag* 2 THE ROTUNDA TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1986
My Page
I am back! My loss of power was as educational as it was short. I
have learned that the man who is in control is the man who has no
peons below him; a staff is helpful, but not worth the trouble they
cause. All responsible for the revolt have been punished. I have also
learned that a great percentage within the Longwood community
are completely mindless schweenies, wearing collars and waiting
for a leash to lead them anywhere.
The front page story, dated April Fool's Day, reporting my
forced resignation, was a hoax. When they staff presented the idea to
me, I said, "Nobody will believe this." How wrong I was. People who
know me well were shaking their heads in sympathy. (Perhaps this
should tell me something.)
Anyway, something happened this week that bugs the heck out
of me and I think some public humiliation is in order.
Last Thursday there was a meeting of the Student Activity Fees
Committee. This committee decides what percentage of the Student
Activity Fee is given to student organizations like S.G.A., S.U.N, and
The Rotunda. The committee has no auditing power or anything;
they simply dole out money. The purpose of last week's meeting was
to appropriate money for next year, but the poor, hopelessly
powerless slobs of the S.A.F. Committee got bored and uppity.
Traditionally, next year's editor would attend this meeting,
since it is his-her money the committee is misering over. However,
due to Publications Board delays, next year's editor is yet to be
appointed. I could not attend the meeting, because there was a death
in the family that I am trying to marry into. A Rotunda staff
member was sent to answer any questions that the committee might
have. Now the fun begins.
The committee, without precedent, began asking detailed
questions about this year's budget, questions that could only be
answered by me (due to the sophisticated management system
IT'S HERE!
which gives me Absolute Power and exclusive embezzling
capabilities). The Rotunda staff member employed internationally
accepted "po'man's tactics" (ask for a million to get a buck and
change), an angle used by every department head in every
beaurcracy since Cicero headed the Ministry of Ego in Ancient
Rome.
Anyhow, the committee received the false impression that The
Rotunda was completely broke; the fact is that a great year for
advertising and our policy of "restrained embezzling only when
needy" has left us with money coming out of our goo-goos.
The once powerless S.A.F. paper-pushers decided to take action
(aren't we testosterone-laden). Professional appointee John "Hey,
toilet paper works just as good on your nose" Pastino (S.A.F.
Committee Chair) was dispatched to "stop The Rotunda now",
before we could spend more money we didn't have. Pastino went to
see Dean of Students Sue "Take Charge" Saunders.
Picture this: Sophomore student John Pastino (who, by the way,
was fired from The Rotunda staff this semester for repeatedly using
darkroom equipment and supplies for his photography class) walks
into the Dean's office with nothing but a title and misinformation.
Pastino must carry some weight around here because Saunders
made no effort to confirm his story. Saunders told me that she called
me, but I found no message on the answering machine. "Maybe I
didn't leave a message", Saunders said, but I told Barb Gorski to
call you." Thanks, Sue.
Saunders recommended to neomaxizoomdweebi Pastino that he
call The Farmville Herald and tell them not to print anymore
Rotundas. No confirmation, no phone calls, no looking at the books,
just "cut off The Rotunda."
A sophomore's phone call would not stop The Herald from
printing our paper, even if it did, I would go to another printer.
Saunder's resume claims a background in journalism. Surely
she knows that the Supreme Court slaps down every administrative
attempt at closing down a college publication.
more than they are allowed; for the past several years, the paper
has finished the year in deep debt. But as long as printers and
suppliers offer charge accounts to The Rotunda, as they have been
doing for 65 years, overspending will be possible.
Nobody in the universe has authority over The Rotunda except -
the Publications Board, not the Dean of Students, and certainly not
some sophomore schweenie. Only the Publications Board can exert
power over the potentially reckless editor. The Publications Board
has not met once during this entire year until last month (to choose
next year's editor). I have enjoyed my freedom, but the future may
show that overspending is a comparatively minor misuse of an
editor's power. The Publications Board should reorganize and get
off its collective butts now instead of waiting for a real journalistic
travesty to occur.

Bolding Reaches
For
Professor To Lecture
200
Sometime within the next two
weeks Longwood baseball coach
Charles (Buddy) Bolding will
lead the Lancer baseball team to
its 200th victory. The 200th
Longwood win will also be
Bolding's 200th career coaching
win on the college level.
Heading into a game at Duke
April 7, Bolding had coached
Longwood to a record of 197-87-2
over eight seasons. Since
Longwood 's first team finished 0-
13 the year before Bolding took
over the reins, the Bedford
County, Virginia native has been
at the hehn of every Lancer
baseball victory.
Bolding has seen Longwood
baseball develop from Division
III to Division IL Along the way
the Lancers have been nationally
ranked and have advanced to two
NCAA Division II tournaments
and one Division II World Series.
Three l^ongwood players have
also earned All-America honors
and two have been named
Virginia College Division Player
of the Year.
Honors have also come
Bolden's way. South Atlantic
Region Coach of the Year in 1982,
he was picked as Virginia College
Division Coach of the Year in
1984. He was also named to the
Olympic Tryout Staff for Virginia
in 1983.
A graduate of Milligan College
and the University of Tennessee,
Bolding began his coaching
career at Staunton River High
School, his alma mater. He
guided the Bedford County school
team to a 47-22 mark in the three
years before coming to Longwood
in 1978.
All seven of Bolding's previous
Longwood teams have had
winning records and the current
edition is 18-7-1 and ranked 20th in
Division II.
Ashby Near-Perfect
Highlight of the week for
Longwood was the pitching
performance of senior Todd
Ashby in Saturday's win over
Hampden-Sydney . The
lefthander allowed just one hit
and walked one while striking out
five. In all just two Tigers
reached base.
Senior Todd Thompson ripped
a two-run double in the fifth when
Longwood came up with six of
its seven runs.
The final lecture in this year's
Faculty Colloquium at Longwood
College will be given by Dr.
Stanley R. Gemborys, professor
of biology at Hampden-Sydney
College.
Dr. Gemborys will speak on

Lewis Looks To Ireland
ByHOKECURRIE
In the movie "The Man Who
Would Be King" Sean Connery
and Michael Caine use their
knowledge of military tactics to
gain wealth and power in a
primitive country.
Today, Americans are using
their basketball ability to gain
tremendous popularity, if not
wealth and power, in Ireland.
"For an American basketball
player in Ireland it's almost like
you're Michael Jackson walking
down the street," says Long wood
College senior basketball player
Ix)nnie I^ewis, who just returned
from a junket to Ireland.
"American basketball players
are big heroes there. The Irish
people are amazed by our
abilities, especially things like
dunking and shooting."
I^wis journeyed to Ireland as a
member of the Caroline All-
Stars, a group of small college
cagers from Virginia and the
"It was wild after games," he
said. "We had to sign hundreds of
autographs and the gyms were so
packed that you couldn't take the
ball out of bounds. The refs were
very understanding. They would
let you bring the ball in from on
the court."
The All-Stars compiles a 4-3
record playing in places like
Cork, Sligo, Port Arlington and
Dublin, in gyms that held several
thousand fans. Lewis more than
held his own. He won a spot on the
first five and scored in double
figures in six of the seven games.
His performance and the
reception he got from the Irish
fans have convinced Lewis that
he wants to pursue a career as a
professional player in Europe.
"I talked to coaches from
several different Irish pro teams
and one from a British team,"
I.ewis explained. "They seemed
interested in me. The coashes are
looking for players who can score

Carolinas. The All-Stars played
.seven games in six days against
Irish professional and all-star
teams. Former Winthrop College
coach Neild Gordon led the team
and organized the trip. Other
members of the Carolina All-
Stars were from Winthrop,
Newberry, Presbyterian and
l.ander Colleges.
I^wis was amazed at the
welcome he and his teammates
received. The 6-3 guard probably
got more attention from the fans
in Ireland in one week than he
received during his entire college
career. The Richmond native
scored 1,425 points in four years
at I..ongwood.
Lewis' team beat "Yoplait" of
yogurt fame in a tournament in
Dublin. Perhaps the most
successful team in Ireland is
Burgerland.
"Burgerland gets the best Irish
players to go with their American
players," said Lewis. "The
teams in Division I can have just
two Americans. The Americans
usually balance each other out.
It's the ability of the Irish players
that separates the best teams
from the average ball clubs.
"The teams are really built
around the American players,
and they expect us to dominate
the games. They might consider
less than a 30-point performance
an off-night for the top
Americans."
Lewis said the thing that
impressed him most about
Ireland was the absence of crime.
"The police don't even carry
guns." he recalled. "They have
no crime whatsoever. I only
heard a siren one time while I
was there and that was an
ambulance. The Irish people are
completely honest."
Americans playing on the Irish
pro teams are from small
colleges like Western Michigan,
Armstrong State, Pfeiffer and
Newberry. Players can earn
from $350 to $600 weekly in a
season that lasts from September
through March. Free
transportation, housing and two
meals per day are also
sometimes part of the deal. Some
of the top Irish pros end up
playing in Italy or France where
the salaries are a bit mord
generous.
For Lewis and other interested
American college cagers it's a
matter of wait and see until
summer when the signing period
arrives.
"It's pretty much of a waiting
game now," said Lewis. "I feel
confident I'll get an opportunity
to play in Europe, but I won't
know for sure until June or July."
A business major at Ix)ngwood,
I.«wis plans to finish his degree
requirements in summer school
and then begin a pro hoops career
in Europe.
If he gets the chance, I.ewis
should have no trouble lighting up
the scoreboard and keeping the
eyes of Irish basketball fans
smiling.
more than anything. They play a
run and shoot style of
basketball."
Scoring has always been
Lewis's strong point. The third
leading career scorer in
lx)ngwood history, he averaged
18 points per game for the 14-13
lancers during the past season.
In Ireland he scored well against
mostly zone defenses.
Like all of the European
professional teams, the Irish play
under international rules. Scores
such as 103-99 and 106-101 were
the rule rather than the exception
in games between the Carolina
All-Stars and Irish teams.
The Irish pro teams are
sponsored by various businesses.

Faculty
Follies
Raise
Funds
APO revived an old tradition at
Longwood last week by hosting
an event dubiously deemed the
Faculty Follies. The "Follies"
are a showcase for members of
the faculty to exhibit their
individual talents. APO, a
national service fraternity, used
the "Follies" as a fundraiser for
the Fannville Volunteer Fire
Department. At the end of the
evening it was announced that
$100 had been collected for their
worthy cause.
The evening's entertainment
showcased some rare moments
of ingenuity and originality, a
rare sight at lx)ngwood. Even
President Greenwood was able to
join in the fun. The faculty
members who were featured
were: Nancy Anderson and her
square dance buddies; the
proverbial wit of Dr. James
Helms; our Finnish professors
Pipsa and Rista Nieminen
performed a folk dance; and
Nancy Huffman from the P.E.
department. It was a bit of a
disappointment that more of the
faculty chose not to participate,
but this didn't take away from a
good show. Undoubtably the
highlight of the show was the
gyrations of the Pointless Sisters,
who almost caused a riot before
their encore.

Helter Shelter
Have you ever been jolted from
your sleep with visions of nuclear
annilation? Does a sudden test of
the Emergency Broadcast
system raise the hairs on your -
hieny. When the fire sirens in
town scream, do you take a quick
stutter step towards your drug
supplier.
Well cream your jeans no
more, wipe that drop of sweat
from your inner thigh, the Cowpie
staff has cut through the red tape
to discover the safest, most
impenetrable place to go in case
of a nuclear attack on Farmville.
The Dabney Lancaster Library
(located between Grainger and
Jarman) is equipped with
Farmville's largest nuclear
fallout shelter.
John Pastiny, self-appointed
Czar of Students Combined
Retroactively to Order the
Termination of Unilateral
Molification, (SCROTUM) has
organized a group of nuts to post
signs and flyers. These notices
are designed to inform the
lx)ngwood community of the
location of the library.
The Lancaster Library has
approximately enough canned
and dried food to nourish six
hundred students for a two-day
period. However, ARA
employees will not be allowed to
use the facility due to the possible
violent recriminations such a
panic prone situation could
spurn. The one exception is Tina,
the infamous LD. enforcer. She
has been exclusively hired to
guard the private escape hatch
(pictured) to be used by Phyllis
Mable and Janet Greenwood. The
underground passage connects
Longwood to Washington.
Through an intricate system of
levers and pulleys, Janet
Greenwood and Phyllis Mable
will be jettisoned to Washington
for the post-nuclear decision
making process. Students can
rest assured that the gargantuan
effort of post-nuclear rebuilding
will be in safe, strong hands as
Barb Gorski will remain
surrogoat in charge. The
transition should be easy because
Barb Gorski has been in charge
of everything all along anyhow.

"First Annual Free Pizza Fiesta"
FREE PIZZA-FREE PIZZA-FREE PIZZA
We have the scam! As you knov^ Domeno's Pizza has
just opened a new franchise in Farmville. The pizza
chain offers free delivery and guarantees you a pizza in
30 minutes or less. If the pizza is late, you get it for
free- NO CHARGE- FREE PIZZA!
Now Domeno's is |ust starting out and they are
having a rough time of it. This is how we take advan-
tage: At 8:00 pm on Tuesday, April 8th, everyone in the
Cowpie reading area will call and order a pizza. By our
calculations, Domeno's will be so overwhelmed with
the orders that 89.7% of all of us who order will
receive a free pizza. Pretty neat, huh?

A Janet Sighting
L
By ANARCHY MITOSIS
Contrary to popular belief,
Janet Greenwood DOES know
where Longwood College's
campus lies.
Although there was no
photographer on location to
capture the moment, she was
sighted in Lancer Cafe on March
28, 1986, at approximately 5 p.m.
during the faculty Happy Hour,
chatting with various members
of the faculty (who wish to
remain anonymous, mostly due
to the fact that half of them did
not recognize her at first . . .)
When asked to comment on the
occasion, Janet said "This is like
deja vu — I feel like I've been
here before, in another life or
something."
The sighting was made by an
oblivious onlooker who
commented to a companion ( who
happened to have connections in
high-up places) "Gosh! Judging
by the heavenly-like aura she
emits, she MUST be a movie star
or at least a VJ on MTV!"
The whole affair was followed
by an autograph-signing session
in the Cafe lobby, attended by
throngs of groupies wearing
"Janet" T-shirts and buttons.
He rearranged himself so the
hair that was pulling eased itself
from the moist sweaty squeeze.
Harvey Kramer, who died on
February 25, was survived by his
wife Flo and two sons Lance and
Brewster. He continued his
scanning — mentally adding the
ages — trying to compile a
median. He remembered the
time his grandfather walloped
him for stealing toothpicks. Why
toothpicks? He quickly forgot the
reason as the accompanying
chills brought blood to his face,
and instigated a painful smile.
The cold water shocked his skin
before it randomly gravitated to
the oval bowl.
Why are the obituaries always
right before the television
schedule? Is it so you can check
out who died knowing that their
old movies will soon grace the
tube? Thank God for perforated 2
ply toilet paper, or "bathroom
tissue" as it's called in homes
with swinuning pools.
His tendency was to use too
much. There is nothing worse
than a clogged drain with a turd
spiralling counter clockwise
towards the brim. He lowered his
abdomen, and dragged the
meticulously folded paper in the
patented cleansing motion. He
suddenly snapped his head
upwards, as the shocking sound
of hardwood rattling along the -
metal bars broke his mental
wanderings. His time had come.
Time to join Gary and Linwood
was the torturous thought his
mind kept imposing on him.
There would be no stay, no last
smoke. Although he had
previously entertained the
illusion of asking for a non-
existant brand.
The only decision left was to
walk or to be carried. As the
vicelike girps constricted the
blood in his elbows and ankles he
knew he would sit one last tune,
but when he looked down it sure
as hell wouldn't say American
Standard.
Resurrection
-J -WJ
Next to the stars and stripes,
the symbol which typifies
America most is the Statue of
Liberty., Our gift from France
has greeted literally millions of
immigrants as they entered the '
land of promise. Who would have
thought that 100 years later the
statue would have
needed such a costly, and
massive restoration effort?
"Give me your tired, poor, and
a couple of bucks to fix me" the
statue seemed to cry. The task of
refurbishing this huge shrine was
cast upon public and private
funds. Certainly, there was little
questioning that she needed more
than a coat of paint and a little
Dolish. Besides private donations
and non-profit fundraising
activities it is clear that a major
portion of the funding has come
from business. Yes! Now the
symbol of America can be found
on everything from snuff to
packages of film.
One must simply reflect on the
1984 Summer Olympics
sponsorship practices to get the
picture. We've all mentally
visualized 10 American world
class athletes sitting around a
table stuffing themselves with -
Wonderbread PBJ's. And
remember Kid's Wonderbread
builds bodies 10 different ways!
Ya right — starting with your
fingers as you pry the masticated
goop from the roof of your mouth.
Is it right to let any product
embellish itself with the Statue of
Liberty's likeness, just because
it's donating a miniscule
percentage to the relief fund. No
holds were barred in Olympic
sponsorship. Every product
which contributed soon became
"the "official" supplier of itself
to the U.S. Olympj'. team. By the
beginning of the 84 summer
games almos'. every newspaper
and television ad had the "official
seal" boasting the sanction of the
U.S. Olympic team.
Manufacturers of products that
Olympics athletes wouldn't dare
use, jumped on the bandwagon
anxious to share the good
publicity.
Well then, is it right to have the
Statue of Liberty enrained on the
lid of Skoal Snuff ( a product
which is undoubtedly detrimental
to one's health)? Nevertheless,
with the restoration almost
finished it is clear that the
fundraising efforts have been
extremely successful. Our
country gave, and gave
generously to restore our proud
visage. But, this joyful
resurrection has also spomed the
deceitful and greedy folly of a few
manipulative shisters.
The resurrection is not merely
a physical one, but also a
spiritual one. The past two years
have re-awakened the nation's
conscience to the Statue of
Liberty's deeper meaning, and

have once again engrained its
image into the public's eye. Now,
since we're all again aware that
the torch on Ellis Island is about
to bum bright again it's time for
fa few to exploit it.
Someone once said that
"America is a country of
entrepreneurs "but does that
mean that nothing is sacred?
Apparently the answer is — yes.
Madison Avenue types have
grasped the current popularity of
the Statue of Liberty, and are
translating it into big bucks.
Let's peruse some of the items
to hit the market of late. In the
fashion accessory department,
we have "Liberty" 24 carat gold
earings. Also, there are
numerous scale replica's on the
market (pictured) including a
table lighter on which — you
guessed it — the torch actually
flames. Some of you may
remember those AM radios
shaped like soda cans. Now they
are shaped like you know who.
Beer mugs, roll-on deodorant,
key chains, umbrella handles,
cologne dispensers — you name
it; have all become vehicles by
which the form of the Statue of
Liberty has meant cash for an^^
unscrupulous few.
Surely the most heinous
extrapolation of this trend
belongs to a company we can't
name. This company is
marketing a birth control device
named "Lady of Liberty." It is
declared to provide "new sexual
freedoms." The obvious use of
double entedre hardly
overshadows this unique spiked-
ribbed condom.
However, the most
preposturous idea comes from
recently deposed chief fundraiser
Lee laccoco. A chagrined laccoco
announced last week that
Chrysler Motor Corp. was gomg
ahead with production of its new
sports model the SLII.
Reportedly, the car will be
shaped like the Statue of Liberty,
laccoco held a press conference
to discuss the details just two
days ago. After a brief outline of
the specs, lacocco went on to
discuss possible drawbacks of
such a project. "We are having a
few problems with aerodynamics
and image" laccoco muttered. In
reference to image laccoco
stated "We're hoping that the
American male won't get hungup
about driving inside a woman . .
Not to miss out on a quick
dollar, foreign car magnates -
Renault and Lamborguini have
announced plans for competitive
new sports cars. The French will
market a car shaped like the
Eiffel Tower, and the Italians will
market the aerodynamically
superior Leaning Tower of Pisa
model. Both companies say their
cars are based on the idea that
phallic images are aesthetically
pleasing. These two models will
purportedly integrate well with
the SLII.
We at the cowpie may be
bastardizing our hypocritical
oath by presenting an article with
portions of truth in it, but we felt
it important. The bottom line is
that we have let "American
business" debase the Statue of
Liberty's image. The amazing
fundraising effort spearheaded
by Lee lacocca has raised 233
million dollars so far, but was it
worth it? It has cost 90 million to
resurrect Lady Liberty. Our
federal government spends 90
million dollars every 45 minutes.
With the impending 4th of July
reopening around the comer we
must ask ourselves wasn't the
Statue of Liberty worth 45
minutes of our tax dollars,
considering the alternative?

"Violence, Violence, Violence —

Longwood College Chemical Research
Has Potential Space Applications
Chemical research underway
at Longwood College has
potential application for space
and aviation uses. The research
also enables chemistry students
to get "real, hands-on lab
experience" in three areas —
polymers, crystals, and organic
chemicals from pine trees.
"NASA, for example, is
interested in the development of
polymers that will not melt but
will remain flexible and strong at
high temperatures," said Dr.
Patrick Barber, director of
Longwood's chemistry program.
"We're trying to achieve that,"
he said.
Polymers are compounds with
high molecular weights. Some
polymers — like cellulose, DNA,
and proteins — are made
naturally in biological processes.
Others — like nylon, plexiglass,
and polyurethane — are
synthetically made.
The polymer work being done
by Longwood chemists is funded
in part by a grant from NASA.
Dr. Barber, along with Dr.
Maurice Maxwell, Leonard
Klein, and chemistry studerts,
are working in cooperation v ith
NASA scientists at the Langley
Research Center.
"Our work here at Longwood
breaks ground for NASA," said
Greg Chiles, a senior chemistry
major. "Their chemists will take
it one step further and determine
if our polymers have potential for
their purposes."
The recent acquisition of seven
state-of-the-art instruments is "a
tremendous boon to the
research," Chiles said. "Our
ability to determine how a
polymer is shaped and structured
has increased at least a thousand
percent with the new
instruments."
The new instruments, valued at
more than $100,000, were funded
as part of the million-dollar-plus
appropriation by the 1984 General
Assembly for renovation and
modernization of Longwood's
science facilities.
There are various ways to
create polymers. In Dr.
Maxwell's research, he is using
an unusual organic acid as the
basic starting material. That
Jimmy Coleman and Dr. Patrick Barber dlscnsi analysis
results in their research project.
acid chloride is combined with
other compounds to form the
polymers.
Subsequent steps in the process
include filtering, rinsing, drying,
and crystallizing the polymer.
Then a number of tests are
performed, to determine relative
molecular weight, the
temperature at which the
material is no longer flexible, and
its melting point.
The Longwood professors and
students have been doing
polymer research for several
years. "At this point, we're
trying to improve the materials
we've already made," said
Jimmy Coleman, a senior.
"We're trying to get the
molecular weights up and to pull
out more of the solvent."
In another part of the research,
Leonard Klein and his team are
investigating the structure of
polymers and how other
compounds can be hooked to
them.
Crystal growth and structure
research is being conducted by
Dr. Barber and his student
associates. They are "growing"
lead tin telluride crystals which
could be used to measure
infrared radiation.
"Dr. Barber's project is
apparently the only one like it in
the world," Coleman said. "The
crystals are still growing, but the
project seems to be successful."
Dr. Robert Lehn>an and
students Donna Donkle and
Tamara Marshall are
"evaluating pine foliage as a
potential source for naval
supplies and fine chemicals."
They are extracting resins and
other organic chemicals from
several species of pine trees that
grow in southside Virginia.
Their work begins with
shredding the pine needles,
followed by "a great deal of
washing, separating,
evaporating, growing crystals,
and filtering," Donkle said.
Finally, the compounds are
analyzed by liquid and gas
chromatography.
In addition to their immediate
findings, the researchers hope
that "the gas and liquid
chromatographic patterns of
these pine needle constituents
will provide data for future
investigations."
The student researchers work
one-on-one with their professors
during each phase of the projects.
"The professors tell us what
needs to be done next. We have to
learn how to do it and then do it,"
Chiles said.
"We're in the lab every
afternoon, Monday through
Friday, until dinnertime,"
Donkle said. "This experience is
really going to pay off for us. I
visited Consolidated
Laboratories in Richmond
recently. They were impressed
because I knejv what they were
talking about, and I knew how to

Longwood's Summer
Writing Workshop
By MELISSA CLARK
Longwood will host its first
annual Writing Workshop for
high school teachers and students
this summer. The workshop will
be presented in two, two-week
sessions from June 15 until July
12. Each session will attempt to
help high school teachers and
students develop their writing
skills under the guidance of the
workshop's faculty and guest
lecturers. Certain faculty and
guest lecturers will be offering
special evening lectures that will
be open to Longwood students,
faculty and the community.
Among the lecturers will be the
director of the workshop: Billy C.
Clark, Writer-in-Residence at
Longwood: Dr. Rosemary
Sprague, Board of Visitor's
Distinguished Longwood
Professor of English; Albert
Stewart, noted Appalachian poet;
Shirley Williams, distinguished
American writer, journalist and
poet; David Halevy, Senior
Editor, Time Life Magazine;
Charles McCarry, Senior Editor,
National Geographic; Karen
McManus, Technical Editor,
BETAC Corporation, and John
Weisman, Editor, T.V. Guide.
"The director, Billy C. Clark, is
a noted American author of 12
novels and numerous short
stories and poems. His writings
appear in many high school and
college literature books. The
Champion of Sourwood Mountain
was offered by the Book-of-the-

(Continued on Page 6)
No Kidding This Time
Barrett "Mick" Baker was
recently selected to assume the
command of Editor-in-Chief for
next year's Rotunda. Although
Baker will only be here for one
semester, he was chosen over two
other candidates because of his
previous track record in the field
of journalism, having worked for
Union Communication Services
(a Washington-based Public
Relations firm) for the past five
years during the summer
months, and for his dedicated
work with the Rotunda for the
past two.
"Currently we seem to be
having a little trouble with
getting money for next year's
paper," stated Baker, "but I'm
hoping that will all be worked out
when the time comes to start
putting it all together."
Baker, with the suggestion of
the Publications Board, will be
implementing a new "internship-
apprentice" program to teach
interested persons the various
aspects of what it takes to put a
newspaper together — from copy
editing to layout; the actual
process of putting the paper in its
final form. "We've had
somewhat of a staff problem for
the past two years," said Baker.
"I don't know if people are
waiting for a personal invitation
or they just don't want to get
involved — maybe it's a little of
both. Well, if you're waiting for
an invitation, here it is: I need
help! If you don't want to get
involved, that's your perogative.
But I can say this: working on the
newspaper doesn't necessarily
commit you to putting in vasts
amounts of time — we really are
an informal group and we usually
do have a lot of fun with it.
The new Editor went on to say
that working on the paper doesn't
always mean writing articles,
either. "We need photog-
raphers," he said. "We need
people in the dark room; we
need all kinds of help — and
we're, hopefully, going to be able
to do all the training necessary to
get these people — and make
them good at what they do so Jthey
can take that skill with them
when they leave Longwood."
Pog«2 THE ROTUNDA THURSDAY, AAAY 1, 1966
My Page
Take this job and shove it
•«•
It wasn't until recently that I reached a point wha% I could get my mom to admit
that it was a good move to transfo* to Laigwood. True, I left George Mason in favor oi
the 'wood because this small town college will sell you a diploma even if you don't
know a foreign language. (By the way is that 15 dollar diplcnna fee Greenwood's
charge for signing the damn thing, or what? Jeez, Dave Winfield and John Riggins
give their autographs away.) When I arrived at Longwood, I found many more
reasons to be here.
This school is an incredible land of opportunity; the size and personality offers
virtually unlimited chances tor people to grow academically, socially, and extra
curricularly. Students here take for granted the benefits of having faculty members
know them by name; extensions, career counseling, reconmiendations, friendship,
after class tutoring: These are all things you would have to wait in line for at a big
school, and at the end of the line, behind the desk, would be a stranger. With faculty
involvement. Honors programs and independent study a motivated student can find
neverending challenges at Longwood. If you don't find them, you're not looking.
The social life, with the easy, friendly . . . well, suffice it to say that even a GEKE
can find buddies.
Opportunities in the S.G.A. and other student organizations are absolutely
without limit. To look at the list of conmiittee positions and offices I've held in just 2
years is a jcke. Somebody might say, "that boy is an over-achiever, a definite bom
leader-type". Bullcrap! All I did was raise my hand and meekly say, "I'd like to try
that position." Surprisingly, there were openings. Three months at Longwood and I
was on the President's Student Advisory Conmiittee, students who meet with
Greenwood and tell her what we think about Longwood. What the hell cmild a new
student contribute to that group? Not much. In one year I am Editor of the paper,
lliere should be a line at least 3 years long tor this position, but in fact the wait is only
a few months.
Now one of the main reasons for these openings is the general apathy that is
circulating this generation and I cannot get a handle on that; but I can now un-
derstand the other reason for nobody trying to make Longwood better: no matter
what position a student holds, as the situati(Hi is today, the student is absolutely and
utterly powerless. In my time on the President's Student Advisory Conmiittee, I can
honestly say that we did not accomplish one danm thing. Not one little thing; it's all
talk. A typical example is: We're all talking about how to in^rove the usefulness of
the Lankford building. Greenwood pulls out the chalkboard and starts drawing ad-
ditions to Lankford, wings with a new cafeteria, etc. Come on, we can't even get
money for a couple new trees around here, what's with the wings? Greenwood's line to
students is "5 years from now. . ." Everything is 5 years away, like the Soviet Union's
; Ctxtplana. Th«ba«»o pMKiiy behind UntS >ear tfiiti^is that W jtercent of all students
here now will be gone in 5 years and won't be around to remember the promises.
You know, student leaders or The Rotunda can pin down some of the lower-level
administrators and make them look bad, but the ones on top are untouchable. From
my conversations with Vice President for Circular Reasoning Phyllis "pat you on the
rump and send you home" Mable over the past couple years :
Me : The French Gym is just sitting there, empty, being wasted. The S.G.A. would
like to begin working towards a renovation. . .
Mable : "Well I don't know what the situation over there is, but I know nothing can
be done anytime soon."
Me: "Whaa?"

Me: "Several years ago, the yearbook was given 10,000 dollars to publish, but the
staff dissolved and the mmey was put in a savings bond that matures soon. If this
money is given back to publications to buy type-setting stuff, the money would be
made back in one year. For example. The Rotunda would save 5.000 to 8,000 dollars
the first year. The VlrgtnUi, Gyre and Broadsides would also benefit."
Mable: "Well, I'm not exactly sure what happened there, but that money will be
redistributed to all student groups and you can't have it. A good idea though."
Me: "That explains it."
Me: (For the third time) "Why did you approve (a vindictive, but lock who's

'86-'87 money and didn't explain why we were fiscally eliminated?"
Mable : "You'll get your money, they will arrange it next year. . .if you want to get
down to that shitty level, four members of the faculty have been in here saying that
The Rotunda is awful and were wondering what they could do about it."
Speaking of Rotunda control, at least half of my editorials this year have ad-
dressed problems that can only be corrected by the Board of Visitors. Before the
Board meets, they ask Greenwood to prepare a report to brief them on certain
situations at Longwood: I heard last week that the "information office lady" sends a
copy of The Rotunda every week to Board members. I was ecstatic! " "They hear me,
they hear me! ! " Maybe my ranting will do some good. But what does the Board wish
to be briefed on in May? "Hiey told Greenwood that "The Rotunda is not something
that Longwood can be proud of," They wish to be briefed on what can de done to clean
up The Rotunda. Jeez! What about comprehensive fees for student teachers? Wliat
about a student member of the Board? Visitation Policy? Or maybe Judicial Board
freedom? Didn't they read it?? ? How depressing. If I can find Greenwood this week, I
will present her with the list of Sufu-eme Court decisions that slap down any ad-
ministrative atten4)t at controlling the student press. But the point is that the Board of
Vasectomy skipped the ccmcems of the students and went right to Cowpie to find bad
words.
Last semester, somebody told me, "everybody reads The Rotunda, dude, the
press is powerful and so are you. ' ' Sadly this is not true.
Over the past 2 years, I've seen over thirty letters to the editor about parking —
everybody rages about parking. ^^>arently it is the number one problem that
students have. This semester, they re-landscaped the front of French and had about
150 sq. yards of dirt to dispose of. What did they do with it? They dumped it right in the
middle of the paiidng lot by the tennis courts, thereby eliminating about 50 student
parking spots.
The student newspaper has no power because the students have no power.
We gave it a shot. I think we did a helluva job this year. There were lots of things
we wanted to do, but time and the system seemed to run against us. Our goals were set
so high that it was impossible to achieve them, and I guess that's the way it should be.
Lots of people complained about us this year, but everybody read us. Ninety percent
of The Rotunda copy was valid news and information this year but it was the other 10
percent that brought the circulati(Hi to 3000 and allowed the real stuff to be seen by all.
The purpose of this editorial (is there one?) is certainly not to discourage par-
ticipation by students in Longwood's political wiffleball. Many other schools have
powerful student bodies which come together and successfully make demands on
administrations. Longwood could be the same way. If the students just got off their
fannies and became a unified group, the powers that be could no longer dismiss
student representatives as 'a few kids who'll be gone in a couple years. '
I guess this feeling of non-accomplishment is familiar to some others who went
from a nobody to thinking you're somebody with power and slowly realizing that
you're just another schweenie on the treadmill. Proposing, meeting, voting, arguing,
petitioning, tugging on the skirts of the administration — you're like a tick on their
legs, they pick you off, check you for Spotted Fever and flush ya.
Would I do it again? Hell yes ! I had a great time ; got a car out of the deal, stashed
away some money for a rainy day and it's getting cloudy already.
To those who follow, on this page and in student government, hang in there 'cause
someday an issue will arise and the students will stretch their bed sores, pull the wool
from their eyes and act like the paying customers they are.
THURSDAY, ^AAY 1. 1986 THE ROTUNDA Pog« 3
Sigma Beta Dicky a '^"g^^g ^" ^**»^*' '^"***
Dear Rotunda,
It has come to my attention
that a new fraternity-sorority has
been introduced to Longwood. No
I'm not talking about TKE. I'm
referring to Ric Weibl's new
organization which has been
wreaking havoc on all of the
Greek organization's halls on
campus. Think of Ric Weibl as
being Pledge Master and being
high and mighty; or so he seems
to be trying to prove. Ric Weibl
said that he is not to be double-
crossed because he is the big guy,
the college, and we are not in
charge around here, and that
inevitably the big guy wins. He
says that we must come to him
with proposals. Pledging is a
game. I knew that drawing a
lottery number made housing
selection almost a thrill. But why
do the Greeks have to play Ric
Weibl's pledging game. Ric has
the power to giveth and to taketh
away your room. If you don't play
the game you lose your room and
get randomly beamed
somewhere else on campus. I had
to do lots of stuff I didn't want to
when I was a pledge. Mr, Weibl
seems to enjoy making students
sweat it out. Power is wonderful.
Anyway here are the rules to the
game. To enter, you must not pay
your deposit before deadline or
you have to forget to pick up your
white card from housing. Once
entering you are told that you are
bad, irresponsible, and out of
luck. Next you are told what you
should have done. Lastly you are
told of a vague plan to get
yourself out of the mess. Now
comes the hazing. As if
everybody isn't busy enough this
time of year, you are asked to
come up with a suitable means of
punishment for yourself; or
whoever is responsible. This is to
be a reminder to prevent any
future irresponsibility. The more
absurd the better the
punishment. I'm not sure if
someone has said they'll write
1000 times "I will be responsible"
but I'm sure it would be suitable
punishment. I'm sorry but how
much sillier can it get?
Sincerely,
I.M. Amused
And Saunders
Dear Editor:
I have a couple of things to
mention as I have been saving up
for this grand opportunity for
quite some time.
For lack of a good starting
point, I'll start at the end, my
most recent complaint. Let me
begin by asking a question; Do
students have rights? The
Judicial Board says Yes; Sue
Saunders says Yes; Barb Gorski
says Yes; they all say read your
Handbook and Statement of
Student Rights available in
Barb's office. But wait, someone
forgot to tell Phyllis Mable. Or
maybe they just don't apply to
me? Oh well, I was guilty
anyway, so what the hell.
My second grievance is with
you, Mr. Raio (sorry Frank, but
you asked for it). Actually it's
your repeated attacks on the
Minimum Sanctions Committee
that I have a problem with,
namely because I was on the
committee. I would just like to let
it be known that the committee
was not in total agreement on
these things, and thus not all
"pin-heads," but hey that's
democracy for you.
My next con^laint is with
censorship (A favorite Frank? ) It
seems that while the Rotunda can
correctly print whatever it
pleases, the average student who
attempts to invoke his first
amendment rights (whose
essence is applied to the states
through the due process clause of
the fourteenth amendment —
how's that Dave) through flyers
and posters which are continually
barred by the minority conscious,
moral invoking Dean of Students
Office ( sorry Sue, but I still love
you) with its extremely
prejudiced use of the famed
"approval" stamp.
Well sir, while I could go on
forever (o.k. guys throw the flag,
a little exaggeration) my typist is
about to go AWOL — which by the
the way reminds me of the
Military Science Department,
but I'll save that one for later.
J.D. Fitzhugh
Thanks To
Fraternities
Editor, The Rotunda:
I would like to thank 2
fraternities at Longwood for their
recent service provided.
First, the Sigma Phi Epsflon,
thanks for filling the holes and
putting up new strings at the
basketball court on Main St.
which is primarily used by our
community kids and I secondly
would like to thank the brothers
of Omega Psi Phi, who number in
few (2) but serves the community
very well. Recently they held a
clothes drive collecting clothes
for the needy of the community.
So to Eric and Mike, keep up the
work and to the Sigma Phi
Epsilon Fraternity, again thanks
and keep serving our community
in such a manner.

A Letter From Next Year's Editor Class of '85 Gets Hired
When I first heard that I was to
be the new Editor of the
Rotunda, my first thought was to
get on everybody's good side so
that we could get as much done
to improve the paper and student
participation on it with as much
cooperation from the faculty and
administration rs possible, not to
mention the studeni body itself.
Well, it looks like that's not going
to happen. Therefore, I'm not
even going to try to be nice. I
don't know how you feel
personally, but I feel like I've
been pushed around, and in some
cases, even lied to, since the day
I got here. Consequently, I've
been pushed to the limit and no
longer wish to be pushed any
further.
The circumstances behind this
lie in an editorial written by my
predecessor, Frank Raio, who
found the need to slap a certain
John Pastino on the wrist for
over stepping his boundaries in
the power department — an
editorial that I can't say I would
have written but, consequently
approved of. Well guess what?
The issue isn't dead yet, and to
make matters worse, you and I
have been drawn into it. That
was the straw that broke that
camel's back!
It appears that Mr. Pastino got
a little mad about certain
accusations written by Mr. Raio
and subsequently, being the
chairman of the student
activities funds, decided to stab
back at Mr. Raio by eliminating
the Rotunda from the Student
Activity's budget. In other words,
the Rotunda is getting absolutely
no money for operations next
year. That's right - ZERO!
Why? Because we didn't have a
staff — a move that did not hit its
original target of Mr. Raio but
instead wounded me quite
effectively.
However, this wound is not
fatal due to the fact that if Mr.
Pastino or his gang of Puppet
Administrators don't want a
student paper next year, then so
be it — it's really no skin off my
nose because if I have to, I'll take
the Rotunda underground, with
or without staff, and print a
smaller version that could
contain items of embarrassemnt
to certain parties. Issues that the
student body need to know but
are being kept from — lack of
funding does not take away my
Constitutional rights or yours to
freedom of the press. On the
other hand, I would think that
you, the students of I^ongwood,
would be a little tired of these
administrative cat and mouse
games to show where the power
of this college really lies and
might find some interest in
fighting to maintain the Rotunda
in its present form.
The fact still remains
however, that we do have a very
small staff for next year's
operation — if this issue ever gets
resolved. If you'd like to get
involved in solving it then, show
the people "in charge" that
you're tired of being pushed
around and you're willing to fight
for what is yours. How? Send a
letter to the Rotunda, care of box
1133, stating that you would like
to be on staff next year. Please
include your name, current
address, and position that you
would like to cover. Currently we
need interviewers, writers,
advertising staff, photographers,
dark room printers, copy editors,
and various other positions that
still need filling. You do not need
any experience as we will be
training people in various
positions as they start to fill.
If you aren't going to be back
next year, or you don't care to
work with the Rotunda, show
your support by sending me a
short note (to the same address)
voicing your opinion on this
subject. Faculty are also
encouraged to participate in this
as the student newspaper is also
meant to be a forum for
yourselves as well. Please make
responses as long as you like or
as short as saying "I don't think
it's fair" and sign it. Otherwise,
we might not have another
chance to do it next year — unless
we spray paint it on the
administration's walls....

Survey: 1 In 5 Male Collegians
Have Gone Smokeless
Gramm-Rudman Takes Aim
At 1987 Student Aid
Even as the surgewi general,

and the New England
Intercollegiate Baseball
Association last week joined in

Carolina University professor
released a study showing that
more than one out of every five
male collegians dip or chew
tobacco.
Still other preliminary data
released at the same time
indicate that quitting a smokeless
tobacco habit may be far more
difficult than giving up smoking.
In perhaps the most surprising
news in a week of surprising
smokeless tobacco news, Eastern
Carolina Prof. Elbert Glover
announced that 22 percent of the
nation's male college students
either dip or chew tobacco.
Glover and three associates
asked 5,500 students nationwide
about their tobacco habits, also
finding that two percent of the
females surveyed said they used
smokeless tobacco,
^n recent years, of course,
many schools — Stanford,
Maryland, Miami and Pacific
Lutheran, among others — have
restricted or simply banned
smoking in classrooms and other
^ramnus haunts.
Few, however, have bothered
to ban smokeless tobacco use.
Last week, the New England
Intercollegiate Baseball
Association came close, asking
its member schools to ban all
tobacco substances during games
and practices.
At the same time, the
American Cancer Society,
meeting in Daytona Beach,
endorsed a resolution to ban all
cigarette and smokeless tobacco
ads, especially those directed at
young people.
The group wants to extend a
new ban on smokeless tobacco
advertising on electronic media
to print media, too.
In a speech to the same group,
substances, exclaims Molly
Laflin of Bowling Green State
University.
Laflin, who assisted Glover in
the nationwide survey, adds
dipping tobacco is far more
popular than chewing it.
Smokeless tobacco has become
popular on campus, she believes,
because commercials suggest it
is safe, an impression further
promoted by the number of
seemingly healthy athletes who
use it.
"You look at the World Series,
and you see the players doing it,"
Laflin says.
One reason may be that they
can't stop.
In a separate study. Glover
attempted to get 41 students at an
unnamed Christian college to quit
smokeless tobacco. "They
certainly had incentive to quit,"
he adds, because the school

failed.
Glover found their withdrawal
symptoms were similar to
smokers', "but more intense."
None could quit. Only one
student managed to go more than
four hours without dipping or
chewing, and he used nicotine
gum, Glover reports.
The same quit-tobacco course
has a 38 percent success rate
among smokers.
In his nationwide study of
students' smokeless
consumption. Glover found that
23 percent of the smokers who
started puffing before they were
10 were still smoking in college.
But 61 percent of those who
began using smokeless tobacco
before they were 10 years old
were still addicted by the time
they got to college.
One reason smokeless tobacco
may be so addictive is the
continuous consumption of it by
its users, Laflin speculates,
adding dippers often put a pinch
under their lip before going to
sleep.

Lady Golfers Break Record
Salaries
Administration
Faculty
Ending the regular season in
record-breaking fashion,
Longwood's lady golfers
registered a best-ever 3O4-3O4-608
Saturday and Sunday to win the
36-hole Penn State Lady Lion
Invitational by eight strokes over
second place Penn State.
Longwood, a member of NCAA
Division II, defeated eigiit
Division I teams while winning
its second straight tournament.
The Lady Lancers finsihed on top
at the William & Mary
Invitational April ia-20.
The t\yo-day total of 608 was 40
strokes better than the previous
LC mark of 324-324-648 which
Longwood shot at the ECAC Open
in 1984. Coach Barbara Smith's
squad tied the existing record for
one round — 304 — in both rounds
of Penn State Tourney.
Leading the way to the
weekend's record-setting
showing was soph Tina Barrett.
Barrett set a record of her own
with an even-par 75-71-146,
beating the school record for 36
holes she set last year (72-79-151).
Barrett finished second behind
Kirston Stone of Penn State who
shot a two-under-par 71-73-144.
With a stroke average of 75.0
for her last eight eounds this
spring, Barrett has a fine
average of 77.5 for the year. She
has played 29 rounds of golf in 11
tournaments since the fall. It is
practically a foregone conclusion
that the sophomore All
American will receive her second
straight invitation to the NCAA
Women's Golf Championship
May 2a-31 at Ohio State.
Barrett, however, was far from
the whole show for Longwood at
Penn State. Sophomore Nancy
Ryan shot a career best 75-76-151
to finish second and Marcia
Melone also turned in a career
mark with a 75-77-152 to come in
fourth. Gretchen Pugh
contributed a 79-80-159 and
Tammy Lohren shot 87-81-168.
Kim Poirier carded an 82-89-171,
playing as an individual.
Coach Smith admitted to being
ecstatic about her team's
performance over the weekend.
"The team was intent on
beating the record of 304 for one
round, but they couldn't quite do
it," said Dr. Smith. "I'm very
proud of the way we played. It's a
great way to end the regular
season."

Boska
(Continued from Page 8)
The Alexandria native is the
first Lady Lancer <o hit over 50
percent of her fiell goals two
consecutive years, ai d until this
season held the school record for
having the highest field goal
percentage in a season. That
record was broken by Melanie
Lee, who shot 53 percent from the
field this past season. When
asked about this, Boska said she
was happy for Melanie and that
there is no competition for
records between her teammates.
"If someone performs better
than I do then it's better for the
team that they are playing," said
the junior. She also noted that she
always sees room for
improvement in her game.
Boska learned about Longwood
from a friend and probably
wouldn't be here now if she
hadn't received a scholarship.
She says that she is glad to be at
Longwood because the pace is
much slower here on campus
than at home. Her parents have
always promoted and supported
their children's interests,

especially in sports, Karen has a
brother who has played
volleyball for Virginia Tech and
two sisters who have played
basketball for the United States
Naval Academy. One sister,
Bemadine, was the first female
to score 1,000 points at the school.
She also played volleyball for
USNA. Boska likes Longwood for
several reasons besides the
slower pace. She likes the pretty
campus as well as the size
(enrollment of 2,600 students).
Boska notes that it is much easier
to know more people on a smaller
campus. "It's nice to walk
around campus and be able to
stop and talk to other students,"
said the junior.
Boska stays busy in the
offseason by playing basketball
with friends, practicing the flute
and competing on the Longwood
Lacrosse team. She took up
lacrosse last year as a way to let
out some of the same energy she
does in basketball. Boska is
performing well in lacrosse, just
as she does in basketball and
everything else she sets out to do.

Rohm Player Of Week
How hot has Longwood hitting
sensation Jeff Rohm been
recently? So hot, that if he was
able to maintain his current pace
he would break former
Longwood AU-American Doug
Toombs' record for batting
average — an unbelievable .565.
Rohm, who has established or
tied three school records over the
past two weeks, has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period April 20-27.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
All Rohm did last week was
extend his record consecutive
game hitting streak to 12 and tie
the Lancer mark for homers in a
game — two. He also hit .579 with
14 RBI, a doulbe, two triples and
four homers in Longwood's first
four games of the week.
The junior catcher, who also
fills the designated hitter spot,
leads the team in batting average
at .434 and in RBI's with 38. As of
April 7 he was hitting .382 with
just 16 RBI's. That was before he
set another record for
consecutive hits, with eight
coming in games against Norfolk
State and Liberty April 12 and 14.
Rohm realized a baseball
player's dream last Thursday
against Hampden-Sydney when
he hit for the cycle. He started out
with a triple and a homer and
then followed with a single and a
double. For the day, he was 4-6
Karen Boska
with four RBI. He had driven in
five runs with two homers and a
single the day before in a 15-7 win
over William & Mary.
Longwood record holder for
doubles in a season with 17 last
year, Rohm had hit 10 doubles,
three triples and six homers
heading into the Wake FoKst
game Sunday. He needs just one
more double to tie the career
record for doubles (34).
Rohm was an All-State, All-
District and All-Region
performer at Western
Albermarle in 1982. He is
majoring in business at
Longwood.

Top Athlete And Honor Student
By GWEN WALKER
Center Karen Boska, a junior
from Alexandria, was the third
highest scorer for the Longwood
women's ba.sketball team during
the 1985-86 season. The junior is
also an outstanding student.
What makes the accomplish-
ment so great is the fact
that Boska has had a 4.0
grade point average for the past
two semesters. Boska, who
finished the season with 248
points and 182 rebounds, says the
key to her academic success is
not waiting until the last minute
to do her school work. "I stay on
top of all assignments by using
travel time to study instead of
sleep. Road trips can be very
long, and it woidd be a waste of
time to just sit there looking out
the window or sleeping," said
Boska.
The junior averaged 9.9 points
and 7.3 rebounds in the Longwood
25-game schedule. She shot 51.3
percent from the field and 65.1
percent from the charity stripe.
Her totals included 30 assists, 17
steals and 8 blocked shots. She is
a team-oriented player and feels
she has^^trib^e^ leadership,
hustle and team spirit to the
Longwood program. Head Coach
Shirley Duncan states that Karen
is totally conmiitted on the court,
whether it be in practice or a
game. "It's that commitment
which has grown into an
addiction to academics," said
Duncan.
Boska is quick to point out
though that she does not lock
herself into her studies when
she's not on the court. "I make
sure I have enough time to relax
as well as study," said Boska.

Longwood first traveled to
Hampden-Sydney last Thursday
to face their archrivals. With no
real big surprise as to the
outcome of the game, Longwood
crushed the men from H-SC, 42-0.
Longwood played their second
game of the week away at ODU
again for the 5th time in a row the
men from Longwood came out on
top 19-3. After these two wins
under Longwood's belt their
record stands at 4 and 1 with only
one game left.
I.ast Thursday the Longwood
College Rugby Club traveled to
Hampden-Sydney to defend last
semester's 41-0 victory over H-
SC. Longwood started right in to
what later became a crushing
victory. Phillip Casanave started
the scoring off with the first try of
the game inside the 5-minute
mark. After the initial score
Longwood didn't let up on the
Hampden-Sydney team until a 36-
0 halftime lead. Other scores in
the first half were made by: Tom
Ganun, 1 try; Dave Hackly, 1 try;
Dave Larson, 2 trys and Tracey
Kilby, 1 try. The point after
conversions were made by Tim
Seymour and Dave Grant. After
the first half, Longwood decided
to pull the majority of their A-
side out and put their B-side in to
finish the game. Although there
wasn't a lot of scoring, except for
a try scored by Vann Staton, the
B-side played an excellent game.
Players from both the A-side and
B-side teams played a super
game and are congratulated on
their performances.
The second game of the week
was played Saturday at ODU.
The Longwood Club has been
looking forward to this game all
semester and went down to ODU
in the right frame of mind to play.
This game was one of the hardest
games Longwood has played all
year. The men from ODU take
Rugby as serious as the men
from Longwood. However, ODU
didn't have what it takes to win,
Longwood won 19-3. The first half
was the best half for Longwood
scoring 13 pts. The first try was
scored by Dave Larson about
midway through the half. Tim
Seymour followed this with a
penalty kick from 25 yds. out.
I^rson scored the second try to
end the half. The second half was
not as fruitful as far as points are
concerned for the Longwood
Gub. The only score was a try by
Phillip Casanave off of a
beautiful pass from Dave Rackly.
This put the score at 19-0. With
only a few seconds left on the
clock ODU scored a penalty kick.
That killed the chances of
Longwood's 4th straight shut out.
The B-side game was a very hard
played game also. The ODU team
won a close decision 10-6. Alan
Stancil scored the only try with
Tim Seymour making the point
after conversion.
The Longwood team has been
playing some of the best Rugby,
if not the best ever in the history
of Longwood Rugby. In the last
five games Longwood has
allowed only 9 pts. to be scored or
them and has scored a total of 171
pts.
The support from the fans at
home games as well as awaj
games has been a contributing
factor to the victories.

Student Teaching In Korea— Heart And Seoul
Two Longwood College seniors
will have an opportunity to truly
be "ambassadors" for their alma
mater.
Sarah Thayer and Beth
Meehan, both elementary
education majors, will do their
student-teaching in Seoul, South
Korea, beginning later this
month. They are following in the
footsteps of Amy Ethridge, who
student-taught in Seoul early last
spring.
Interestingly, Thayer and
Meehan are members of a highly
selective student public-relations
group called the Longwood
Ambassadors. Ethridge, who was
graduated in May and teaches
now at Osboum High School in
Manassas, also was a Longwood
Ambassador.
She was the first Longwood
student to student-teach in a
foreign country.
Like Ethridge, Thayer and
Meehan will teach at the Seoul
International School, a private,
English-speaking school with
students from 35 countries. The
school has 700 to 800 stud'ents in
grades K through 12, about one-
third of whom are Americans.
"I'm really excited," said
Thayer, who is from Richmond.
"I'm glad Beth and I have a
chance to represent Longwood."
Thayer will teach in grades K-
4, which is what she will be
certified to teach along with
reading, K-12.
Meehan, from Winchester, will
teach in grades 4-8, which is the
focus of her certification. "I'm
not nervous about teaching there
- not yet, at least," she said.
"But I know that I will be. My
modules have been so hectic that
I haven't had time to get
nervous."
Both are now attending the first
session of modules — mini-
courses for prospective teachers.
Because they will still be
overseas in December, they will
be excused from the second
session, which follows student-
teaching.
Beth and Sarah left Sept. 21
from National Airport outside
Washington and will fly to Seattle
and then to Seoul. The two-part
flight will take 20 hours. Neither
has ever traveled abroad.
During their student-teaching,
each will live with a Korean
family, as did Ethridge. They will
teach for about 10 weeks.
One aspect of the school should
make them feel at home: it has a
Wendy's restaurant, which is
Beth Meehan (left) and Sarah Thayer
where students eat lunch. "Amy
said the only difference is that the
chili there is served with rice,"
said Meehan. "One day, she
caught a kid who had sneaked his
French fries into class."
Seoul, with 10 million, is the
same size as New York and is the
world's fourth largest city. The
two students hope to attend the
Asian Games in Seoul, an
Olympic-like track and field that
runs through the end of October.
Afterward, they will travel in
the Orient for four weeks. They'll
visit China, Hong Kong, Japan
and finally Hawaii, returning on
Dec. 20.
While Dr. Robert Gibbons,
Longwood's director of student
teaching, is attending a
conference of international
schools in Jakarta, Indonesia, in
November, he will visit several
other Asian countries to see about
placing student-teachers.
Several Longwood education
majors have expressed interest
in student-teaching overseas, he
said. He also will be recruiting
students for Longwood.
Thayer is head of the Judicial
Board, Oktoberfest chairman,
and a member of Geist, a
leadership society. She was top
caller in the Alumni Telef und last
spring. Meehan is a former
Orientation leader.
Longwood's Business Innovation Center— Opening Soon
"The U.S. has lost its ability to
compete in the world economy,"
stated Lawrence Minks,
Executive Director of the
Longwood Business Innovation
Center. In order to help remedy
this situation, Longwood College
will open the L. B. L C. later this
fall. It will provide a wide range
of services to new and existing
businesses in Southside Virginia.
And it can well be a national
model for other rural
communities, according to an
official of the U.S. Department of
Conunerce.
The Center will:
•Support programs that inspire
economic development,
entrepreneurship, and human
resource development.
•Strengthen the region's
business and industrial
competitiveness in domestic and
International markets.
•Assist efforts to diversify the
region's economy.
Examples of services to be
provided by the Center are:
•Assisting new businesses in
their development and growth.
•Identifying national and
international sources of
assistance.
•Conducting several advanced
management seminars.
^Speakers, presentations, and
information for interested
groups.
•Computer-software packages
for use by organizations.
•Self-adminsitered manuals to
help inventors and entrepreneurs
evaluate business ideas, and help
them conduct preliminary
patent-search activities.
•Assisting in computerized
searches of new technology that
may be adapted or applied to a
new or existing business.
•Simulating new courses in
Entrepreneurship and New
Venture Development through
Longwood's School of Business
and Economics.
•Management materials to
help businesses improve their
productivity, quality,
organizational development, and
competitiveness.
"The Center's approach is
unique in that it will look more to
the businesses of the future which
can diversify the local economy
rather than conventional
businesses," according to
Theodore J. Lettes of the U.S.
Department of Conunerce.
He said that "areas of future
growth and emerging business
opportunities of interest to the
Center will be the result of new
global markets, the explosion of
new technologies, and the
resurgence of entrepreneurship
in the United States."
"This is the basis," he said "for
creating jobs and re-establishing
the competitive capability of the
U.S. within the context of world
markets."
The Center will be directed by
Dr. Larry C. Minks, associate
professor of business at

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The following "joke" was printed in the September 19th issue of
the Hampden-Sydney Tiger (newspaper). When I first saw it, my
first reaction was to pull out a pen and start writing some choice
obscenities attacking the 'school down the road'. But then someone
who happened to be nearby at the time of my initial rage asked me
why I was even bothering? "First," he said, "you're putting yourself
on the same level of the people who wrote it (which is dumb) and
second, two wrongs don't make a right."
Well, I have to tell you that I was still miffed, but I decided to
compromise — I'm still going to run the reprint, but I am going to let
you, the readers, make your own judgements. Any comments would
be appreciated....

QrWhafsthe dif

around after you use
it.
Longwood. Dr. Minks noted that
"Mr. Lettes assisted us in the
initial development of the Center,
and we look forward to continued
cooperation from the Commerce
Department."
Lettes is director of the Small
Business Technology Liaison -
Division of the Office of
Productivity, Technology and
Innovation (OPTI). OPTI
promotes the productivity and
international competitiveness of
U.S. industry, primarily through
the development and application
of emerging technology.
Dr. Minks cited Longwood
President Janet Greenwood as
the "driving force" behind the
Center. "She played a leadership
role in opening key doors as well
as persevering to make the
Center a reality."
Dr. Greenwood said that the
Center "responds to Longwood's
goal of regional outreach to
Southside Virginia in business
and economic development and
that it will provide professional
development opportunities for
some faculty and students as
well."
She said that the concept of the
Center is "consistent with the
development efforts in Southside
Virginia for the future." She
expressed appreciation for
assistance provided to the Center
by sucn organizations as the
Virginia Department of
Economic Development, the
Piedmont Planning District
Commission, and Virginia's
Center for Innovative
Technology.
"Economic development is
one of the big issues facing the
whole region," said Jack
Houghton, executive director of
the Piedmont Planning District
Contunission. He added: "Anyone
on that team is an added asset.
The Center is a positive step."
Lettes referred to the Center as
"one of the best planned
operations I've seen yet." He said
that "Dr. Minks has taken a good
look at what has been tried in
other parts of the country. When
the Center opens, it will be much
further along than most
innovation centers."
When asked why a project like
this was important to Southside
Virginia, Dr. Greenwood
answered, "Southside is
responsible for only 1.1 percent of
the economic output of Virginia
— if we don't help ourselves, we
are in big trouble."
"Besides that," continued Jack
Jacques, Dean of the School of
Business at Longwood, "we live
in Southside and we need to take
care of it."

A Word Of
Apology
To the students of Longwood
College,
On September 12, 1986, an
unspeakable quotation appeared
in the Hampden-Sydney Tiger.
Only after publication did I
realize what I had allowed to be
printed. I am deeply sorry that it
happened.
Please understand that it was
an error on my part, and not a
r> • L H/F'JI iO/^ malicious attack by Hampden-
tiiCk JylUl&r OU Sydney men. The Tiger claims to
speak for Hampden-Sydney, but
in this instance it could not have
spoken any farther from the
student body's actual sentiment
towards Longwood.
I aks for forgiveness in hope
that the happy and peaceful
relations between your college
and ours can be restored as soon
as possible.
It will never happen again.

Lecture Series Begins
A nuclear physicist from the
Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico will
speak at Longwood College on
Wednesday, September 24.
Dr. Delmar W. Bergen, whose
work at Los Alamos involves the
design of nuclear weapons, will
discuss "Test Ban Issues." The
lecture is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
in Wygal Auditorium and is open
to the public at no charge.
Dr. Bergen has been associated
with the Los Alamos National
Laboratory for 25 years. He
hopes that the fruit of his work
there will never be used and
stresses the necessity for
interaction with other countries
and "learning to care about
people and the overall quality of
life."
A native of Kansas, Dr. Bergen
received degrees from
Greenville College in Illinois,
the University of Kansas, and the
Ph.D. in physics and
mathematics from the University
of New Mexico.
For 18 months during 1979-80,
Dr. Bergen was Special Scientific
Advisor to the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Atomic
Energy). He is the author of
papers and unclassified reports
published in professional
journals and numerous classified
reports on nuclear warheads for
strategic systems.
His presentation at Longwood
is the first Francis Butler
Simkins Lecture for this
academic year. The Simkins
Lecture Series honors the
memory of an eminent scholar
and teacher who was a member
of Longwood's faculty from 1928
until his death in 1966. Dr.
Simkins was a prolific writer and
perceptive scholar of the social,
political, and religious history of
the South.

Norman tried to use the 24-hour

stay awake that long.
Norman was really impressed with the Sovran Bank Cash Flow® ma-

accounts, even tell Norman his balance.
And with over 300 locations, Norman was sure he'd have no
trouble finding one. Still he was disappointed to learn that Cash Flow
machines were available for 24-hour use. Norman knew he'd never

In Saturday's championship
contest, Longwood exploded for
five second half goals to break
away from a 0-0 halftime
deadlock with Greensboro, now 3-
3. Freshman John Barone broke
the ice two minutes into the
second half on an assist from Tim
Ford. Ford scored next, followed
by Gittman's two goals and a
header fi*om freshman Chuck
Rankin on a comer kick pass
from Gittman.
Barone assisted on both of
Gittman's goals while Rich
Venere set up Ford's goal.
"We played well in the second
half today," said Posipanko.
"It's about time we scored some
goals. It was a good win for us
over a quality Greensboro club."
In other action last week,
Longwood battled East Carolina
to a 1-1 overtime tie Wednesday.

Karn, Gittman— Two Small Cogs In A Big Machine
With tournament Most
Valuable Player Erick Kam
leading the defense and Most
Valuable Forward Scott Gittman
leading the offense, Longwood
notched two shutout wins to take
the seventh Southside Virginia
Soccer Tournament
championship over the weekend.
The tournament crown is the 5-
0-1 Lancers' second in a row and
third overall since the tourney
began in 1980. Longwood beat
Slippery Rock 1-0 in opening
round action Saturday and
Greensboro 5-0 in the
championship game Sunday.
Greensboro advanced to the
finals with a 2-0 win over
Hampden-Sydney. Slippery Rock
took third place with a penalty
shot triumph over H-SC. The
outcome will go in the books as a
1-1 overtime tie.
Ranked 12th in the nation in
Division II last week, Longwood
is off until a trip Saturday to play
Guilford in Greensboro, North
Carolina. The Lancers have now
shut-out four of the six teams
they have played.
All-Tournament Team
Karn, Longwood's sweeper,
spearheaded the defense which
did not allow a goal in the
tournament. Gittman, in addition
to being MVP Forward, was the
tourney's top scorer with two
goals and an assist. The senior
reserve did an outstanding job
filling in for the injured Mark
Kremen.
Gittman has already scored
more goals (5) than he got in his
previous years on the team.
"Scott has been a reserve for
three years," said Longwood
coach Rich Posipanko. "It was
good to see him get a chance to
play and do something with it."
Joining Kam and Gittman on
the All-Tournament team from
Longwood were Rob Liessem, ,
chosen as the top goalkeeper in
the event, and midfielder Jim
DiModica. Liessem has collected
15 career shutouts and is just two
short of tying Longwood's career
record of 17, held by Brian
Sprinkle. DiModica has played
well since moving to midfield
from forward after co-captain
Shawn McArdle suffered a knee
injury.
Greensboro's trio on the All-
Tournament group included Most
Valuable Defender Tim Blanck,
midfielder Mike Krupica and
back Brian Patterson. Third
place Slippery Rock was
represented by back Matt Veres
and midfielder Eric Fogel.
Hampden-Sydney placed back
Jim Mulligan and forward
Guillermo Lang on the All-
Tourney squad.
A goal from Jeff Robinson on
an assist from Mahfoud Kyoud
was all the Lancers needed to get
by Slippery Rock, 1-3-1 after the
weekend action. Longwood had 22
shots to five for the Rock,
coached by Posipanko's college
(Continued on Page 5)
Player Of The Week
Lancer midfielder Jim DiModica (In white) tries to protect
himself from a Slippery Rock kick in Saturday's Southside Virginia
Tournament action.
Freshman forward Laura
Goetz scored four goals in three
games last week for the
Longwood field hockey team, and
has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period September 14-21.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
Longwood's top scorer, Goetz
tallied twice in a 3-1 win over
Lynchburg Tuesday, once in a 2-1
loss at William & Mary Thursday
and once with an assist in
Sunday's 2-0 victory over
Appalachian State. The Cox High
graduate has scored eight goals
in six games, helping the Lady
Lancers get off to a 4-2 start.
"Laura has certainly played up
to my expectations thus far,"
said LC coach Sue Finnie. "1 saw
her score some crucial goals in
the state playoffs which helped
Cox win the title last year. So, I'm
not surprised she has done well
for us."
Goetz played for coach Nancy
Fowlkes (Longwood, 1972) at
Cox. As a senior she helped Cox
win District, Regional and State
titles. She is one of seven
freshmen in the starting lineup
for Longwood and one of six
Virginia Beach natives who start
for the Lady Lancers.

Field Hockey Hangs Tough
Septemb
Longvood'g Laura Goetz (left) zips past ApfmlacUan State to
set up teammate Diane Brown for a goal tn Sunday morning's field
hockey contest. (Currie photo)
Longwood's young but
improving field hockey team won
two of three games last week to
up its record to 4-2. The Lady
Lancers will be out to add two
more wins this week when
Bridgewater visits Tuesday at
4:00 and Duke Saturday at 1:00.
Coach Sue Finnie's squad beat
Lynchburg 3-1 Tuesday, downing
the Lady Hornets for the first
time since 1980. Thursday,
William & Mary nipped
Ix)ngwood 2-1, but LC bounced
back Sunday to beat Appalachian
State 2-0.
Freshmen from Virginia Beach
did all the scoring Sunday.
Leading point-producer Laura
Goetz had a goal and an assist.
She now has eight goals in six
games. Diane Brown scored a
goal and Liz Annet assisted on
Goetz 's score.
Junior halfback Claye
Conkwright was credited with a
record 32 interceptions-tackles in
the victory.
The homefield win was
important, according to coach
Finnic.
"Appalachian is coached by
Longwood graduate Cathy Lowe
(78)," explained Finnie. "It's a
rivalry game for both teams. So it
was an important win for us.
"I'm pleased with the season as
a whole," said the coach. "Every
game is touch because seven
freshmen are starting, but we
have played with a lot of
intensity. We're moving the ball
well. We need to improve,
however, on pressuring the
opposition."
Goetz scored for the Lady
Lancers in Thursday's 2-1 loss at
William & Mary. The freshman
had two goals and junior Traci
Strickland contributed two
assists in the 3-1 win over
Lynchburg. Liz Johnson scored
her third goal of the season
against the Hornets.
Strickland, who has four assists
and two goals thus far, has been
the mainstay on the forward
line, according to the Longwood
coach.
"Claye (Conkwright) and
Theresa (Labyak) have played
solid hockey for us also," said
Finnie.

Delta Sigma Pi Makes a Clean Sweep at Regional Conference
Longwood College's chapter of
Delta Sigma Pi, national
professional business fraternity,
made a clean sweep of the top
awards at the South Central
Regional Conference this past
weekend in Roanoke.
The Longwood chapter
received the "Most Improved
Chapter in the Nation" award,
the "Most Improved Chapter in
the Region" award, and the
Monroe T. Landruth Award
recognizing the chapter that is
closest to "the ideal."
Kristine Harbour, adviser to
the Longwood chapter, was
named Most Outstanding Adviser
in the region. Mrs. Harbour is a
member of Longwood's business
faculty.
The Longwood chapter also
received Honor Roll certification
for attaining a maximum of 100,-
000 chapter efficiency points.
Only 14 of the 165 chapters in the
nation achieved Honor Roll
recognition.
The region's Travel Award,
recognizing the chapter with
most members attending the
I conference, also went to chapter, plus three faculty "So many of our students were Business and Economics," Mrs.
Longwood. Twenty^iine of the 35 members, attended the able to attend because of the Harbour said. "The department
student members of Longwood's conference. support of the Department of provided partial funding for
students' expenses in Roanoke."
Longwood's chapter of Delta
Sigma Pi is only five years old. It
was chartered in April of 198L
Three years ago, the chapter
almost lost its charter because it
was not meeting fraternity
standards.
"We have made a remarkable
turnaround," said Kelley Noe,
chapter president. "The regional
and national people know about
Longwood now. And we'll be
there, competing, next year at
the national conference in New
Orleans."
The South Central Region of
Delta Sigma Pi includes colleges
and universities in Virginia,
North Carolina, and Tennessee.
"Many of the chapters in our
region are located at large
universities," Mrs. Harbour
noted. "We are proud to have won
over such competition."

The Southside Virginia Literacy Network
In the best educated country in
the world, there are some 60
million people who cannot read
and fill in a job application.
In the age of computers and
space rockets, millions of
Americans cannot read the
morning newspaper.
In Virginia, one of every five
adults is functionally illiterate.
That means they cannot read and
write well enough to cope with the
demands of the modem world.
The state spends millions of
dollars each year to help the
illiterate.
Educators, social workers,
employment counselors, court
officials, and community service
organizations in Southside
Virginia run head-on into the
reality of illiteracy at every turn.
Now, through the Southside
Virginia Literacy Network, they
plan to make a united stand to
meet the challenge.
The Literacy Network is "a
collective effort" that involves
school systems, social service
agencies, and volunteers in 11
counties and the city of South
Boston, plus Ix)ngwood College
and Southside Virginia Com-
munity College (SVCC).
The idea for the Literacy
Network was "hatched" by
Ijongwood president Dr. Janet
Greenwood; Dr. Vera Williams,
head of the college's department
of education, special education,
and social work; and Dr. Patricia
Lust, dean of continuing studies
at Ix)ngwood.
The concept was discussed at
the May meeting of Longwood's
Superintendents' Network and
"met with favorable response,"
Lust said. "We then schedule a
meeting here at Ix)ngwood that
was well attended by
representatives of the public
school systems, SVCC, and area
social service and volunteer
organizations," she said.
A 13-member leadership group
was selected to develop a
working plan for the Literacy
Network. Members of the group
are collecting data on populations
and educational levels in the 11-
county area and have compiled a
"digest" of literacy programs
already in progress.
"We don't have complete
information yet on the
dimensions of the illiteracy
problem in Southside Virginia,"
said Martha Hall, l^ongwood's
representative to the Network.
"We do know that, according to
the 1980 census, a staggering 59.9
percent of those over 25 in the 11-
county area did not complete
high school."
She added that a high school
diploma "does not necessarily
indicate the level of skills a
person has, so the census figures
do not fully reveal the
problem."
The first goal of the Literacy
Network is "advocacy," Hall
said. "We need to focus public
attention on the problem of
illiteracy and emphasize the
relation.ship between literacy and
economic growth for our area."
The Network is initiating a
local media campaign, to
coincide with state and national
television specials to be aired in
September and October. "We are
asking radio stations and
newspapers in our communities
to help us .spread the word that
illiteracy is a tough problem,
right here at home, but that
together we can do something
about it" Hall said.
Plans are being made for a
conference on literacy, with Mrs.
Gerald Balies as the keynote
speaker.
The illiterate person lacks
"ba.slc survival skills," Hall Hb\ ;
The Virginia Literacy Coaliti >;.
defines a functional illiterate ...
one who "cannot read a highv. •,
.sign, cannot read a ballot, carii,o;
read prescription direct i'
cannot read a menu, cannoi 1. .
out an application, cannot re
labels on food, cannot write
check, and cannot ttv^i

The Southside Virgini'i
Literacy Network area includ*"-
the counties of Amelia,
Appomattox, Buckingham,
Brunswick, Chariot* r,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Here we go again..." That's the way I had initially intended
this editorial to begin — so I went with it anyway. However, the body
of this piece has changed from the original subject of the fights that
occur between the Hampden-Sydney males and our own to
something a little more noteworthy and far more serious. That
subject is domestic violence.
Why do I want to talk about domestic violence? Well, the first of
three reasons is because I don't think it gets talked about enough.
(For example, one in every five women involved in an intimate
relationship with a man is beaten repeatedly by that man.
"Virginians Against Domestic Violence" newsletter, August 12,
1986.) The second reason is because starting next Monday (October
6), a local organization called DAY (Domestic Assistance for You) is
sponsoring a "Domestic Violence Awareness Week" that runs until
October 12. The theme for this year's event is "Love Should Not
Hurt." During this week, various activities will take place to make
people more aware of the fact that domestic violence does occur all
around us — spouse abuse, child abuse, etc. One of these activities
will be held next Tuesday night (October 7) at 6:30 p.m. in the Red,
White and Green rooms and all Longwood students are encouraged
to attend. This event will be a movie and panel discussion held by
various persons active in this campaign and will feature a special
guest — a woman who was-is the victim of spouse abuse.
The final reason I want to talk about this issue is because run-
ning an organization like DAY takes people who care enough to help
and money to keep things going. "The Rotunda" is doing its part by
asking local businesses for a tax deductible contribution of $25 to
help raise money. In return, they will receive a business card sized
ad in next week's "Rotunda". Students, faculty and administration
members are also encouraged to make contributions. All par-
ticipants will also be rewarded with space in the newspaper.
I know that the support is out there. I saw donations being made
to restore one of America's great symbols of freedom -- the Statue of
Liberty. Now I'm asking you to invest in another great institution —
the family.
BHB
To the Editor:
For the past week, the
fraternity women on this campus
have endeavored to extend to
many rushees the friendship
and happiness which they
experience in sorority life.
The week began with Open
House Parties when the
sororities introduced themselves
to the girls going through rush.
"What's your major?" "Where
are you from", "Where do you
live on campus?" echoed
throughout Stubbs.
But as the week went on,
conversations got a bit more
entailed. Inspirationals, parties
attempting to reveal the true
essence of each sorority, were the
culmination of an exciting week.
At this time, the rushees
narrowed their choices to one or
two. After this party, preference
cards were signed by the rushees
listing their top three choices.
Their list was matched with the
sororities preference lists, at
6:30, the Rushees lined up in
Lankford and when their name
was called, they walked, or ran,
to their new sorority.

Congratulations to all new
Sorority initiates.
Dear Dr. Greenwood,
I am sick about the
unspeakable "quote" in the
Hampden-Sydney student
newspaper about a Longwood
(or, rather, the) Longwood girl. I
apologize to you and to all who
are members of the Longwood
community. You can be sure that
I shall act to assure that such
things do not happen again. I
hope you will remember that the
sentiment expressed is not only
profoundly unworthy of this
College, but that it is a sentiment
shared by no one whom I know of
beside the "author."
It is my responsibility,
however, as president, and I ask
you to forgive me for this failure
in its exercise.
Josiah Bunting III
Pres. Hampden-Sydney
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Among my colleagues out here
at Hampden-Sydney I pass for an
unreconstructed adolescent. I
suppose that puts me in the best
possible place to know just how
dumb, just how cruel adolescents
can be to each other. So maybe,
before the inevitable howls of
execration ring down this latest
and silliest episode in the
Longwood-Hampden-Sydney
lovehate thing, ycu will let me
say this, not on behalf of any
agency or for any constituency,
just for me: I'm sorry. I wish it
hadn't happened. I hope it doesn't
again.
Alan Farrell
Professor of French
To The Editor:
As the saying goes, "better late
than never." In the case of the
"unspeakable quotation," I'm
not sure if this holds true.
Isn't it strange that the apology
from the Editor in Chief of the
Hampden-Sydney Tiger came
more than a week after it was
printed — and just as The
Rotunda was going to press with
their response to the quotation?
How did Maloney allow this to be
printed? Is he really the editor?
Doesn't he know what is going
into his newspaper?
Strike one up for the scum-
sucking preppie southern boys
for the really know how to
maintain "happy and peaceful
relations." We knew thLs would
happen again, but boys, so soon?
Mama Bunger
To The Editor:
Printed in last week's issue of
the new.spaper there was a joke
about the sexual practices (or
lack thereof) of Hampden-
Sydney "men". The unplication
was that L4)ngwood women follow
Hampden-Sydney guys around
after they use them but toilet
bowls don't. Are we supposed to
infer from this statement that the
seemingly well-educated men at
Hampden-Sydney use women as
they do toilets? In an appeal for
common sense, where is the
dignity, not to mention logic in
that rationale?
Does the freshmen orientation
booklet on etiquette also include
proper bedside manner as well?
Is this before or after getting
wasted? Perhaps you "men" are
fooling yourselves about the level
of a woman's intellect, her wants
and her needs. You pride
yourselves as "experts" in those
areas.
As you pick up your forks and
knives according to the etiquette
guide, perhaps you should pick up
and look more closely at the
highly emphasized honor code
booklet as well. There are
statements included about lying
and cheating. These offenses are
serious and subject to dismissal.
Should not these ethics be
included in your private lives —
in the end you will be the ones to
be dismissed. A liar or a cheater
has no one to reproach but
himself. (In the spirit of equality
the above statement is
generalized and we use "him" in
a neutral sense.)
In closing there is the reminder
that as Hampden-Sydney is an
institution for higher learning so
is Longwood. The standards for
your newspaper are running neck
and neck with that of a bathroom
wall — zero to nil. Let's keep it
clean boys — your toilets may
take your crap, but Longwood
women won't. "Welcome to the
real world."
To the Editor:
Is the Rotunda legally or
morally obligated to accept
advertising that subverts the
aims and values of the college
and encourages students
flagrantly to violate the honor
code?

From Chairman M' io's China to Southside Virginia
It's a long way, figuratively
speaking, from Chairman Mao's
China to Southside Virginia and
Mo-Xi Mi couldn't be happier.
Mi, who is from the People's
Republic of China, is a graduate
student and research assistant at
Longwood College. He can put
behind him the persecution his
family suffered during the 10-
year cultural revolution, the
communist government's
former dogmatism, and the
overpopulation and poverty oif
the world's most populous
.country.
"I like a small school like
LiOngwood," he said recently. "I
can make friends, exchange
information, discuss ideas. I find
people here very kind and
friendly. And the teachers have
been very helpful."
Mo-Xi is Chinese from Moses —
he is a third-generation Christian
— and his last name is
pronounced "me."
Mi, a 34-year-old bachelor,
arrived in the United States June
7. Last year, he received a B.A.
degree in English literature from
East China Normal University in
Shanghai. He wrote to Longwood
after seeing one of the college's
catalogs in the university
library.
"When I finished my
undergraduate program, I
thought it would be good to go to
an English-speaking country and
learn to write and speak
(English) better," he said.
He plans to obtain a master's in
English and work as an
interpreter-translator, which he
did in China. He is taking two
English courses this semester
and doing research for faculty
members of the English,
Philosophy and Modern
Ixinguages department.
Mi grew up in Shanghai,
China's biggest city (12 million
people) and leading port. His
father is a retired hospital
pharmacist.
Mi's family suffered during the
brutal, purge-filled cultural
revolution from 1966 to 1976,
probably because his parents and
both sets of grandparents are
Christians. China officially is an
atheist state. The major religions
are Buddhism, Taoism and
Confucianism. ,
During the cultural revolution,
family members were insulted on
the street by neighbors. His
grandmother, who had owned
land before the communist
takeover, was forced to work as a
laborer. Members of the Red
Guards, a heavily indoctrinated
police force, went to their house
to see if they had any gold or
religious books, which were
forbidden at the time.
Mi knew people who were
jailed and even executed. Some
people committed suicide after
being harassed continually by the
Red Guards, which have since
been disbanded.
In 1966, when Mi was 14, all
schools in China were closed. He
stayed home the first two years,
then went to work at various jobs
— he was a mechanic, an
The revolution was an attempt
"to oppose pragmatism and
bureaucratic power and instruct
a new generation in
revolutionary principles,"
according to the 1986 World
Almanac. Mao's widow and three
radical allies — the "gang of
four" — were later sentenced to
life imprisonment for their role
in the revolution's excesses.
MO-XI MI
assembler, and a machine-
operator. Schools didn't reopen
until 1978, and some are still
closed, he said.
Mi called the cultural
revolution "terrible, a disaster, a
catastrophe. Nobody liked the
cultural revolution, especially
young people . . .Chairman Mao
was a great and wise person. But
after the liberation, he did a bad
job. He was evil. He was like
Satan. A lot of people suffered
under his leadership."
Mao-Tse-tung ruled China with
an iron fist from 1949 until his
death in 1976. "During his
cultural revolution, tens of
thousands were executed," said a
recent issue of U.S. News &
World Report. "Millions of the
best and brightest — a whole
intellectual generation — were
exiled to rural labor brigades.
Doctors sweated in rice paddies,
poets mucked out cesspools."
interested in math, "but I have
always read novels. I started
studying English by myself after
the schools were closed."
At the university, Mi read such
British writers as Shakespeare,
Chaucer and John Milton, and
American writers Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow and
Edgar Allan Poe.
One aspect of American culture
took some adjustment, recalled
Mi with a smile.
"I had a hard time at first
getting used to American food.
For example, at every meal you
Americans eat bread and butter,
which was new to me. In China,
we eat just rice and vegetables
and some shrimp. But now I'm
getting used to your food. Not
only do I get used to it, but I like
it. I like sandwiches, hot dogs,
everything."
Mi speaks English fluently but
with an accent. "English is no
problem to me." He added,
however, that Americans are
difficult to understand when they
use slang. He also reads
Before the cultural revolution,
said Mi, "there was no freedom
at all. Following the revolution,
there was more freedom. But we
still have a long way to go. I like
my country but I also like
America very much."
Mi was the first person in his
family to come to the U.S. "At
first, my parents were worried
about some things. But now, they
realize that I'm grown up. And,
also, I traveled much in China
when I worked as an interpreter-
translator for the technical
department."
Students in China have to pay
for their elementary and
secondary education, but college
is mostly free. College students
pay only for textbooks and
meals; tuition and housing are
free. Only about five percent of
students who apply to a college
are accepted, he said.
In high school, Mi was
Japanese and some German but
doesn't speak either language.
Young people in China are
interested in American culture,
and the government — which
once condemned Western culture
as decadent — is tolerant of that,
said Mi. "Recently there have
been good relations between the
two countries," he said, citing a
trip U.S. Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger made to
China this spring. More and more
Americans are traveling to
China, he noted.
"Ten years after Mao Tse-
tung's death," said U.S. News &
World Report, "his successors
have committed a billion Chinese
to a new revolution. Domestic
reforms range from
unprecedented touches of
personal freedom to experiments
with capitalism."
Mi, a slightly built man whose
conversation often is animated,
already thinks of himself as an
American. "I regard myself as
an American. People here like
me, and Hike them."
Rugby Club Crushes
Catholic University
By DAVE LARSON
Longwood Rugby Club started
their .season off on Sept. 13 in
Richmond against T.C. Williams
Law School. Longwood came out
on top 3(M). This victory marked
the first time Longwood has ever
won a season opener.
The next game was played at
home against a tough VA Beach
men's club. Longwood played an
excellent game. At the half
Longwood had held the VA Beach
Club to a (M) tie. Longwood went
into the second half with a very
positive attitude and desire to
win. The attitude and desire,
however, was not enough. The
men's club wore down the
Ix)ngwood Qub with about 20
minutes to go in the game. The
final outcome was 19-0, VA
Beach.
Longwood traveled to
Washington, D.C. this past
weekend to play Catholic U. With
no idea how the Catholic team
plays, Longwood went into the
game with a very optimistic
attitude. By the end of the first
half Longwood had racked up 19
unanswered points. The
Longwood team went back out in
the second half and scored
another 24 pts. to Catholic's 3.
The final score of the game was
43-3.
Dave Grant started out the
scoring for Longwood and by the
end of the game, T-Rhea, Will
Randalls, Tim Seymour, Dave
Larson, James (Duck) Jackson
and Billy Sturgill all had scored
tries for lx)ngwood. Tim Seymour
added a 3 pt. drop kick and a few
point conversions after tries, to
wrap up the scoring. This was a
very impressive win for
Longwood and they're looking
forward to a season filled with
victories.
Also enjoying a victory was
Lcngwood's B-side over Catholic
U. The final score was 7-4. Brian
Liming scored a 3 pt. penalty kick
and Tony Lindsay scored a try to
add up the points for Longwood.
The next game will be this
weekend against Washington and
Ue away. If anyone will be in the
vicinity they are encouraged to
attend.
The next home game will be
Oct. 11 against ODU. Everyone
come out and support the team.

ROTC Getting Off to a Good Start
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
The Military Science
Department has gotten off to a
strong start this semester. There
are two reasons for this success:
The military science IV Cadets'
completion of Advanced Camp,
and the arrival of three new and
energetic Cadre members.
Fourteen MS IV's spent six
weeks this summer at Fort
Bragg, N.C. attending Advanced
Camp. Upon returning to school,
they were promoted to Cadet
Officer Grades as follows:
Kimbra Patterson became Cadet
Lieutenant Colonel, Kate
Scanlon, John Wright, Don
Strickland, and Billy Howard
became Cadet Majors, Alicia
Ashton, Scott Estes, Fred Grant,
Paul Griffin, Mike Hamady,
Randy Hart, Bill Hedge, Ted
Treece, and Kevin Wilkins
became Cadet Captains, and
Bobby Arnold became Cadet
Sergeant Major. Three of these
cadets also attended Jump School
at either Fort Braff NC or Fort
Benning, GA. These cadets are
Kim Patterson, Don Strickland,
and Scott Estes. Two of the
cadets, Fred Grant and Kim
Patterson were stationed with •
regular aniiy units for three
weeks with the Cadet Troop
Leader Training Program, where
they were able to work with
second lieutenants in daily
routines.
Due to excellent performance
at camp and outstanding
academic records, Kim
Patterson, Katie Scanlon, John
Wright and Don Strickland were
bestowed with the title of
Distinguished Military Students,
an honor enjoyed by very few
As Reported By FRED GRANT
cadets.
The 3 new Cadre dept.
members are Major S. Nally,
airborne ranger; Captain M.
Fox, helicopter pilot; and
Seargeant Major MSG
Smearengen, recipient Silver
Star in Vietnam.
Some of the activities the
department will be conducting
this semester include various
camp trips, a field leadership
exercise from Oct. 31 - Nov. 2nd,
and a Rangers' Repelling at Fort
Pickett on Oct. 10.
Kim Patterson, with her Department of the Army "Superior Cadet
Decoration Award", was selected as the top cadet In the MS III class
due to her academic and military excellence.

'Morris Site Could Have Been Agricultural Village^ Students Find
The Buckingham County site
that Longwood College
archeology students began
excavating last summer has
proven to be a good "find" in
itself.
Students in Longwood's
Summer Field School in
Archeology have found more
artifacts, recovered more pottery
fragments and the fragments
have various design motifs, and
are locating artifacts in a more
to R. T. Morris, Jr., a retired
farmer.
"We believe the Morris Site
was a settled agricultural village,
whereas our other sites were
transitory base camps dating
from the Archaic Period - 8,000
or 9,000 years before the present
— right down to modem times,"
Jordan said. "This site was
probably used during the Archaic
Period, but the bulk of the
artifacts are from 2,000 years
Carole Metz and Janet Wiggins
concentrated area than at any of
the former sites they have dug
since the first field school started
work in 1980.
"We have lucked or researched
our way into a good site," said
Dr. James Jordan, field school
director.
Field school students started
digging at the Morris site last
year, when they worked for 11
weeks. The Morris Site is located
a mile off Route 612, not far from
Holliday Uke. The site, which
is 21 miles from the Longwood
campus, is part of land belonging
before the present or more re-
cent. It was not on the outskirts
but was 'downtown,' so to speak.
People stayed here generations
after generations, raising
families."
This year's field school should
yield even more artifacts than
last year's, said Jordan. "Last
summer we spent considerable
time trying to figure where to dig.
We found 1,761 artifacts last year.
I expect that we'll find more than
2,0000 artifacts this year."
Each sunmier two five-week
field school sessions are held. The

second session began July 14.
. Students in Anthropology 595 —
the advanced course for those
taking part in their second "dig"
— have to complete independent
projects. Both courses, 495 and
595, are worth six credits.
An area in the middle of the
excavation site apparently was a
trash pit. "We think it was a
trash pit because we're finding
small pieces of charcoal and a lot
of organic matter," said student
Dave Grant. "You usually find
flakes of lithic material, which is
debris from the manufacture of
stone tools. Like this one, the pits
were usually circular and had a
diameter of about 3% feet. The
two biggest shards (fragments)
of pottery that we've found have
come out of this pit."
It also may have been a burial
site, said student Julie Gomiak.
"We haven't found any bones, but
the soil discoloration indicates
this may have been used for
burial," she said. "It appears
that bones had been there in a
pile, which is called a
'disarticulated burial.' Of course,
it could have been a stack of
animal bones. A soil sample from
the pit will be tested for calcium
content."
Gomiak showed two matching
pieces of hardened, orange-tinted
clay that were found in the trash
pit-burial site. "This is 'Prince
George Roughened Pottery' and
it dates to 1,700 years before the
present. It could have been a
'grave good' or part of a vessel."
Jordan thinks the excavation
site was a living area and that
Indians grew their crops closer to
the Appomattox River, which is
I only 125 yards away. Asked what
' they may have grown, he said,
"Probably the trilogy of com,
pumpkins and beans, because
that's what Indians in this area
grew. But that's just a guess."
Many pottery shards have been
found at the Morris Site and the
shards have various design
motifs, said Jordan. "All
different kinds of vessels are
represented. They tinkered with
pottery, perfecting it over time."
Interestingly, the students are
using a modem device to leam
about prehistoric man. A
flotation device — consisting of a
plastic tub, a hose and an engine
with two pumps — enables them
to retrieve tiny artifacts such as
shell and bone artifacts that
normally would be lost, Gomiak
said. It was purchased from a
New Jersey company that
specializes in archeology
equipment.
"The pumps pull water from
the river up here to the tub,"
explained Gomiak, who operated
the device for the first session.
"The larger artifacts remain on
the screen here and the smaller
ones go through a hole into a
cotton bag."
Last year, a flotation device
was made from an oil drum, but
it wasn't as effective as the new
device, said Gomiak.
Items recovered by the
flotation device — plant remains,
parts of roots, seeds, a bug wing,
small pieces of charcoal — will be
tested by the state Division of
Mineral Resources and
Economic Development in
sites, one of which is a few miles
east of the Morris Site off Route
636. The wooded site features a
low rectangular wall, made of
dirt and rocks, that is about 600
feet long and 20 to 30 rock piles
just outside the wall. The site's
function is unknown, but it is
thought that it was used for ritual
or ceremonial purposes.
"The site has been a mystery
so far," said Tom Richards, who
dug there this summer and in the
Denlse Rast and Barbara Sollenberger
Charlottesville. "If the
phosphorus levels are high, that
means humans inhabited the
area," Gomiak said.
The largest pottery shard found
this sunnmer, which measures
about three inches by four inches,
contains horizontal markings
inside and outside and on the rim.
"This could be from a large
vessel often buried along with the
human burial," said Barbara
Solenberger. A projectile point
found this year dates the site at
least 6,000 years before the
present.
Field school students have
taken tums excavating two other
spring. "We haven't found any
artifacts, which is consistent with
what we've read about similar
mound sites in Alabama and
Kentucky. At ceremonial sites,
all mundane materials had been
taken away."
At the other site, on the Dan
River near Turbeville in HaHfax
County, a "celt" — a sharpened
stone tool used for cutting — and
a hoe blade were found. Both
sites probably will be excavated
again next year in conjunction
with the field school.
"What we're always trying to
discover is: what would it be like
to have been prehistoric?" said
Jordan.

Lancer Soccer Takes Lady Goflers Take Another Tournament
Fifth Shutout
Long wood's soccer team
notched its fifth shutout of the
season Saturday with a 1-0 win at
Guilford, but the injuries are
beginning to mount for coach
Rich Posipanko's 14 ranked
team.
The Lancers will take a 6^1
mark into Saturday's game at
Lynchburg, ranked seventh in
Division III last week. The
Hornets, historically a Division
III powerhouse, could provide
Longwood with its toughest test
of the season.
"It will be Parent's Weekend at
Lynchburg," said Posipanko,
"so, they'll probably have a big
crowd on hand. There's no
question it will be a tough game
for us, particulariy with all the
injuries we've had."
Freshman Chuck Rankin is the
latest to join the ranks of the
injured. Rakin scored the
winning goal with eight minutes
left at Guilford Saturday, but was
taken out by the Quaker
goalkeeper. The first-year back
suffered a broken ankle. He had a
cast applied Saturday night and is
out for the season. Braswell, the
Guilford keeper, reportedly
suffered a broken leg in the
collision.
Posipanko was upset at the
rough tactics employed by
Guilford and poor field
conditions. The Quakers had
upset Division I Wake Forest at
home earlier this season.
"It looked to me like their
keeper didn't even try for the
ball," said the Longwood coach.
"He just tried to knock Chuck out
of the play. Chuck made a great
play to score, but it's too bad he
had to get injured to do it."
Rankin took a lead pass from
Erick Kam and got off the shot at
about the same time the keeper
ran into him. The ball rolled into
the net as both players lay on the
ground.
Starting forward Mark Kremen
who had been out with a sprained
ankle, has been diagnosed as
Eric Kam trying to keep injury
free.
having a stress fracture in his
foot. Kremen, a vital cog in the
Longwood attack, had seven
assists in the first three games of
the season. He may now be out
for the year, however, and could
be red-shirted.
Starter Shawn McArdle and
reserve Bill Moore remain on the
sidelines indefinitely with knee
injuries.
"We're still okay because of
our depth, but if we have any
more serious injuries it will
really hurt," said Posipanko.

Winning tournaments is getting
to become a habit for Longwood's
talented women's golf team.
Sunday, the Lady Lancers
clipped host James Madison by
six strokes to win the James
Madison Invitational for the third
year in a row.
Even more impressive is the
fact that it was the fourth straight
tournament title for Longwood
dating back to spring, 1986. Coach
Barbara Smith's squad finished
up last spring with victories in
the William & Mary and Penn
State Invitationals and won the
Longwood Invitational two weeks
ago.
Longwood shot 320-324-644 to
best second place Madison (332-
31^650) and 11 other Division I
teams. The 36-hole tournament
was played at Spotswood Country
Club in Harrisonburg, a par-73,
6,100 yard layout.
Lancer leader Tina Barrett
came within a playoff of taking
first place out of over 70 golfers.
Barrett tied Appalachian State's
Angle Ridgeway for the top spot
as both players shot 75-77-152.
Ridgeway, however, took the
crown when she beat Barrett on
the second hole of a playoff.
Longwood junior Marcia
Melone also played well with a
77-80-157 for fifth place.
Freshman Ashley Warren
playing as an individual, finished
in a five-way tie for 12th place
with an 84-80-164. Tanmiy Lohren
shot 82-84-166 to tie for 18th. Leigh
Russell carded an 86-83-169 and
Gretchen Pugli shot 88-88-176.
Next up for Longwood is the
Duke Invitational October 10-12
in Durham, North Carolina.
Women's Volleyball; Frustrated But Learning
By RICK RIVERA
Longwood's women's
volleyball team participated in
the Liberty Open Volleyball
Tournament last weekend.
According to coach Linda Elliott
it was a frustrating but
educational experience.
The Lady Lancers travel to
Virginia Union Tuesday for a 7 :00
contest and then to Mary
Washington the following
Tuesday (7:00) before coming
home to host the Cindy Smith
Invitational October 11.
During the weekend's action
the Lady Lancers could only
muster one win versus five
defeats. Despite the losses, coach
Linda Elliott left the tournament
feeling like she accomplished
something. Longwood finished
the two-day event with an overall

lecord of 6-10.
At times during the tournament
Elliott did not recognize her own
team. In five of the six matches
the Lady Lancer grabbed a first
game win, but could not keep the
momentum throughout the
match. "They seemed to fall
apart during the second and third
games," stated Elliott. After a
very relaxed first game the Lady
Spikers played not to lose instead
of applying the pressure.
Despite the disappointing
weekend, Longwood had several
outstanding players. Perhaps the
two most impressive were Kris
Meyer and Annette Easterling.
Although they did not have great
statistics, these two were in the
thick of the action, playing team
volleyball.
Staci Dillon had another good
night serving as well as setting
the ball. According to Elliott,
Lanette Ezell was the most
consistent player during the
tournament. Joanna Marquez
again fulfilled her role as a utility
player filling in several positions
during the day.
Stephanie Coukos was sidelined
midway through the tourney with
a sprained ankle but is expected
to return to action this week.
Overall the Lady Lancers were
not guilty of laying down but
were guilty of trying to do too
much. As Elliott put it "The
team gave a 110 per cent effort
physically but only 70 per cent
mentally and momentum is
captured throught the mental
aspect."

Field Hockey Splits Two
Uz Aniiet (right) controls the ball against Doke Saturday, as Kris
Meaney (center) lends support (Currle photo)
By KIRK BARNES
Ijongwood's steadily improving
field hockey team split two
games at home last week to move
its record to 5-3. The Lady
stickers will try to boost their
record when Randolph-Macon
comes to town Thursday for a
make-up game starting at 4:00
and Maryland Baltimore County
visits Saturday for a 2:00
confrontation.
The l^dy Lancers completely
destroyed Bridgewater Tuesday
11-0. Saturday coach Sue Finnie's
team came up on the short end of
a 1-0 score against Duke.
The defense played a tough
game Saturday, whDe the offense
had its troubles. Margie Kemen
was the defensive player of the
game with 18 interceptions-
tackles. Claye Ck)nkwright had
21.
"The offense was not cutting
towards the ball and we did not
get into the game early," said
Finnie. The loss marks the first
time this season Longwood has
been shutout. Finnie explained,
"There was no real offensive
involvement in the second half,
the ball just went back and
forth."
Finnie said her team was
frustrated by Saturday's loss.
"We seem to be having a
problem early in most games,"
said the coach. "Duke got its goal
only 2:25 into the game. We shut
them out after that."
Statistically the game was
close. The Lady Blue Devils
outshot the home team 17-16 and
had 5 goalie saves to Longwood's
6.
Freshmen Laura Felch and
Terri Pugh were responsible for
half of Longwood's output in an 8-
0 shellacking of Bridgewater
Tuesday. Patty Boyle, another
freshman, passed her way to a
new school record with four
assists.
The defense stole the ball at
will and kept the visiting team
pinned in its half of the field much
of the game.
Members of the Longwood
junior varsity team got in some
valuable playing time.
Statistical leaders for the 5-3
Lady Lancers are freshmen
Laura Goetz and Liz Johnson in
goals with eight and four,
respectively. Cbnkwright has a
whopping 121 interceptions-
tackles in eight games.
Coach Finnie has been pleased
with the progress of this young
but enthusiastic team.
Player of the Week
CHUCK RANKIN
Chuck Rankin may not get the
chance to play another soccer
game for Longwood this season,
but the 5-7, 155-pound freshman
went out with a bang Saturday in
a 1-0 win over Guilford.
Rankin scored the winning goal
with eight minutes left to keep
Longwood (6-0-1) unbeaten, but
he suffered a broken ankle on the
play. Rankin has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for his performance.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
A reserve back who had played
in all seven of nationally-ranked
Longwood's games this season,
Rankin took a pass from Erick
Kam in front of the Quaker goal.
As he booted in the winning shot,
the Guilford keeper crashed into
him and both players went down.
Rankin suffered a broken ankle
while the Guilford goalkeeper
reportedly suffered a broken leg.
Called "Slugo" by his
teammates, Rankin is a health-
fitness major and perhaps the
best-conditioned athlete on the
Lancer team.
"Chuck came through with a
great play for us Saturday," said
coach Rich Posipanko. "I'm just
sorry he had to get injured in the
process. He had been doing a real
good job for us off the bench, but
it looks like he's probably lost for
the season. We'll miss him."
Longwood was ranked 14th in
the national Division II poll last
week.
Rankin is a graduate of Upper
Dublin High School in Maple
Glen. He earned second team All-
Star and first team All-League
honors and was captain of the
Upper Dublin team.

NUMBER THREE
'Does The Honor Code Still Work In The 1 980's?
When Joe McGill was assistant
dean of students at American
University, a student paid an
employee in the registrar's office
several hundred dollars to make
extensive changes in her grades.
She was suspended.
At Wake Forest University,
where he was director of
residence life, a student acquired
the answers to an exam ahead of
time. The student was caught,
and later dismissed, because he
absent-mindedly typed the
answers in a blue book.
"I have long since stopped
being surprised by what students
will do," said McGill, now
director of student services at
Longwood College. "If it's do-
able, students will do it. But
sometimes they'll also surprise
you with their sense of honor."
McGill administers
Longwood's academic honor
system, which will be the focus of
a two-day conference in
Richmond. The Education for
Honor Conference will be held
Oct. 10 and 11 at the Sheraton
Midlothian. Some 30 selected
students, faculty and
administrators will attend.
"It's an opportunity to talk
through some questions on honor
and the Honor Code." said Dr.
David James, a Longwood
philosophy professor who is
putting the conference together.
Guest speakers will include
Walter Ulmer, executive director
of the Center for Creative
Leadership in Greensboro, N.C. ;
Richard Kast, assistant attorney
general of Virginia; and Dr.
Robert Rogers, a religion
professor at Hampden-Sydney
College. There will be workshops
and small and large group
discussions.
Dr. James, a member of
Longwood's student life
committee, said questions about
the Honor Code arise during
committee meetings. "A lot of
people wonder, 'Does the Honor
Code still work in the ISeOs?'"
The Honor Code requires
students to pledge, "I have
neither given nor received help
on this work, nor am I aware of
any infraction of the Honor
Code." The Code specifically
forbids cheating, lying, stealing
and plagiarism.
The Code asks students vfho
have witnessed violations to
approach their classmate and
give him or her 24 hours to report
it. If the student (k)es not do so,
the accuser is expected to report
the alleged violation to the Honor
Board chairman or the dean of
students. Students are not to
report suspected violations to the
faculty member.
The nine-member Honor
Board, composed of students
elected by the student body,
hears these cases and makes
reconunendations to the dean of
students. Sanctions for those
found guilty range from
"admonition" (a letter in the
student's file) to disnndssal. The
dean of students. Dr. Sue
Saunders, then either accepts or
rejects the reconunendation; she
can lower or increase the
penalty.
Accused students can appeal
the Board's recommendation
and, if it differs, the dean's final
decision. When a student is found
"not responsible" — innocent—
that recommendation is
automatically accepted by the
dean of students.
The Honor Board has heard
five cases so far this semester.

University of Maryland.
Dr. True will conduct a master
class for college and high school

The Emily Clark Scholarship
Dinner recognizes the
contributions of an outstanding
member of Longwood's music
faculty from 1946 to 1972. Miss
Clark was an innovator in her
music education courses and in
emphasizing the importance of
group instruction in piano. Since
her retirement, she has helped to
fund scholarships to benefit
music education students at
Longwood.
Three students were found not
responsible and two were placed
on "disciplinary probation."
Three more cases will be heard
soon.
The sanctions, in order of
increasing severity, are
admonition, restitution,
educational assignment,
probation, suspension and
dismissal. All dismissal decisions
must be approved by the
president. No student was
dismissed last year, though
several were suspended.
Oie year after a convicted
student's last semester at
Longwood, his or her file is
expunged for public purposes.
"I think our honor system has a
few wrinkles— such as procedure
and implementation— that can be
ironed out," said Michael
Clements, chairman of the Honor
Board. "We want to educate the
students and the entire college
community about the honor
system."
Clements, a junior from
Mechanicsville, said the biggest
problem is a lack of awareness
and understanding of the system.
"Too many people claim
ignorance. They say, i didn't
know that was an honor code
violation. I didn't understand
that.'"
A major effort in recent years
has been made at orientation to
inform students of the honor
system. "Many students,
especially freshmen, don't know
what's expected of them
concerning the honor system,"
said Dr. James.
Common violations involve
plagiarism ("many students
don't know how to footnote
properly"), homework
assignments in computer classes,
and leaving the room during an
exam, Clements said.
"Sometimes the professor will
leave the room during a test and
a student will get up and go to the
bathroom. That's an Honor Code
violation, but many students
don't know that."
McGill said that plagiarism
cases are difficult to resolve,
particularly when they involve

10th Anniversary Of G>-Ed
Renovation Of South
Eric L. Robinson, of Farmville,
and Walter J. Payne, Jr., of
Pamplin, were officially
recognized recently when
Longwood Ck)llege celebrated its
10th anniversary of residential
coeducation.
Robinson, senior vice president
and area executive ofificer for
Sovran Bank, was recognized for
being the first male president of
the Longwood Alumni
Assoication. Payne, a retired
educator, was recognized for
being the college's first male
graduate.
Robinson and Payne received
plaques during a picnic Sept. 20
outside Longwood House.
President Janet Greenwood
presented the plaques.
Former Longwood basketball
star Jerome Kersey, who now
plays professional basketball,
was recognized for bringing
national prominence to
Longwood, but he was unable to
attend. Head basketball coach
Cal Luther accepted on his
behalf.
Robinson, a Farmville native
and graduate of Cumberland
County High School, was
graduated in 1954. He is serving a
two-year term as president of the
Alumni Association. He is a
former rector of the Longwood
Board of Visitors.
Payne, a Pamplin native, was
graduated in 1934. He taught,
among other places, at the old
Farmville High School. He
retired in 1970 following a 36-year
career.
Kersey, who plays for the
NBA's Portland Trailblazers, set
19 career, season and game
records while playing at
Longwood from' 1980 to 1984. He is
a Clarksville native.
Other activities also were held
in conjunction with the
celebration of residential
coeducation, including golf and
soccer tournaments, an alumni-
student baseball game, fraternity
receptions and an outdoor mixer.

The renovation of South
Cunningham has been talked
about, but due to the aging
plumbing this action will finally
take place.
According to Rick Weibl,
Director of Housing, the overall
plumbing system in South must
be replaced. This means
residents can expect new faucets,
sinks, toilets and showers for the
Fall 1987 semester.
Residents of S. Cunningham
will have to move out by January
19, 1987 in order for the work to
begin. Mr. Weibl expects enough
rooms to open up in January so
that South's residents can be
relocated. He will be able to avoid
putting people off-campus
because rooms will be available
through normal attrition (2nd
semester student teachers,
interns, December graduates,
transfers and withdrawals).
All residents of South are
encouraged to attend transition
team meetings which should be
starting in the next week to ten
days. Residents will be able to
make recommendations to the
Director of Housing as to what
other repairs they feel the
building needs, possible
relocation processes and any
other worthy suggestions to help
with the transition. Weibl feels
that if students get involved and
protect their interests the South
Cunningham transition will flow
smoothly.

Student Enrollment Is Up!
f
Longwood College this fall has
the largest number of students in
its history — a total of 2,789, up
126 over last fall.
Enrollment figures announced
today also show the largest
entering freshman class, 766. The
College received a record
number of applications — 3,095,
up 15 percent over last year, and
also rejected a record number —
26 percent of all applicants.
College officials are especially
pleased with Longwood's success
since there is a continuing drop
each year in the number of high
school graduates in Virginia and
in the nation. "Consequently,
many colleges are seeing
decreased enrollments," said
Admission Director Robert
Chonko. "It's nice to be among
the select few colleges that seem
to be highly appealing to
prospective students," he said.
While business administration
continues to be the most popular
major at Longwood, education
(teacher preparation) is the
choice of almost half of the
freshmen.
A total of 309 freshmen chose
elementary education as their
major, an increase of 48 percent
over last year. Thirty-six
freshmen plan to major in special
education, a 33 percent increase.
There has been a resurgence of
interest in the teaching
profession nationally, and
Longwood is feeling that impact,
according to Dr. Robert Bartos,
dean of Longwood's School of
Education and Human Services.
He attributed increased student
interest in becoming teachers to
"the response of local and state
governments to teachers' needs,
better salaries, and an excellent
employment outlook."
He said that school systems
already are having difficulty
finding teachers in such areas as
special education, foreign
languages, mathematics, and
science.
Longwood is Virginia's oldest
teacher-preparation institution
and continues to emphasize its
education program as one of the
College's "centers of
excellence."

Advisor
Willianrj C. Woods
The Longwood Players will
present Eugene O'Neill's Ah!
Wilderness on Wednesday
through Saturday evenings,
October 8-11, in Jarman
Auditorium on the Longwood
College campus.
Curtain time each evening is 8
o'clock. Admission is $4 for
adults, $2 for young people and
senior citizens. Longwood
students will be admitted free
with college ID.
The play is O'Neill's only
comedy and depicts his ideal of
the American family.
Set on the Fourth of July, the
play is "a celebration of growing
up in America," said Dr. Douglas
Young, director of Longwood's
theatre program. "It shows the
delightful pasage of a boy into
manhood in the serene bosom of
an ideal family."
The comedy is "a rare piece of
work for O'Neill, who usually
looked at life rather tragically,"
Young said. The playwright's The cast and crews of Ah!

CAMPUS NOTES
I
To The Editor:
I've been observing with a
certain degree of irritation, the
growing controversy over the so-
called "joke" printed in The
Tiger a couple of weeks ago.
What I haven't been able to
understand is your insistence on
taking The Tiger so seriously.
After all, the paper in question is
not The New York Times. So to
cut a long story short, who the
hell cares what it prints in its
humor section.
We don't create a scene over
the graffiti discussing the sex life
of the Queen of England or the
sexual practices favored by
Ronald Reagan, scrawled all
over the place in public
bathrooms. So what's the big deal
if a small newspaper with
negligible circulation wants to
play the maverick. Maybe, it
might even help it in recovering
from its burgeoning financial
problems and staying afloat.
Nadeem A. Kizilbash.
To the Editor:
Hundreds of Latvians were
refused admittance to the
conference at Yurmala, in
Latvia, on superpower relations
on September 18. In spite of a
very tight ring of Soviet Secret
policemen, many Latvians
succeeded in reaching the U.S.
participants at this conference. A
Latvian said, "We are waiting for
freedom and you are our only
hope."
White House adviser Jack
Matlock told the conferees that
the U.S. has never recognized
and will not recognize the
legitimacy of the forcible
incorporation of Latvia,
Lithuania and Estonia into the
Soviet Union. His declaration has
twice been carried on local
television and has spread through
the capital of Latvia, Riga.
Matlock became a national hero
in Latvia.
It should be noted that during
the independence of the Baltic
States the Latvians, Lithuanians
and Estonians believed that their
countries constituted the outposts
of the civilization of the West,
and that East of the boundaries
of the Baltic States, the European
civilization ended. They consider
the Soviets barbarians. This
feeling has become intensified
because the family graves of the
strong man of independent
Latvia, President Karlis
Ulmanis, was destroyed by the
Soviet barbarians. The graves
and even cemeteries of many
other prominent Latvians,
Lithuanians and Estonians have
likewise been destroyed by those
vandals of the 20th century.
Nevertheless, the Russian
authorities fail to see that no
hangings and other barbaric
actions cannot stop the
movement to restore the
independence of the Baltic
States. This movement is under
the leadership of the young
Latvians, Lithuanians, and
Estonians who were bom in exile
and who have obtained their
education in the best universities
of the U.S., Canada, Australia
and Western Europe. They
strongly believe the
independence movement of all
the captive peoples of Eastern
Europe will cause the fall and
disintegration of the declining
Soviet Union — the last colonial
empire — the prison and
concentration camp of peoples.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Alexander V. Berkis

Honoris Conference Continued
(Qmtinued from Page 1) ^
paraphrasing. "The Board has to
grapple with this. Sometimes the
student will admit it but willsav.
'But these are still my thoughts.'
Often it can dep^d on how
vehemently the accused student
takes a stand. Some professors
have no problem with this, but
others view it as plagiarism."
The second part of the Honor
Code— "nor am I aware of any
infraction"— is a stumbling
block, said McGill.
"The students don't want to
police violations: They feel like
they're walking on thin ice in that
area. It's hard to convict a
student, and they don't want to
face peer pressure for turning
someone in. They would rather
have the Honor Code simply say,
'I have neither given nor received
help on this work period.
They feel they're mocking the
Honor Code by agreeing to abide
by the second part. "Hiey don't
want to get involved."
Dr. James agrees. "The
biggest single problem is that it
asks the students to police
themselves. And when they don't,
faculty members get frustrated.
Many faculty members flunk a
student they suspect of cheating.
So, in effect, there are two honor
systems— a formal one and an
informal one."
He added, "Although students
are reluctant to turn others in,
the number of student-initiated
cases has increased since I've
been here (since 1982) and
especially in the past year."
About 60 percent of the cases
were initiated by faculty
members, estimated Clements,
who was a member of last year's
Honor Boaard. Only about three
to five percent involve a student
turning himself or herself in, he
said. The remaining cases are
initiated by fellow students.
Another common problem is
consistency of sanctions. "All of
us have our favorite 'war stories'
about a serious violation in which
only a slap-on-the-wrist was
administered, and other cases
when the actions were much
more severe," Dr. James said.
"The Board is trying to be
consistent," said McGill. "That's
been a problem in the past. But
on the other hand, each case is
different and each should be
handled on a case-by-case basis.
Two cases could look similar, but
one factor could change
everything. If we had a system
that didn't take into account
personal circumstances, students
would probably complain about
that."
Added McGill, "A decision not
only has to be fair, it has to
appear fair. Students can smell
unfairness."
Some professors unwittingly
tempt students by leaving the
room during an exam, especially
if they've let them take their
books with them to their seats.
"We should have an environmoit
that encourages maturation and
personal development and
doesn't tempt them. Some
professors say they don't want to
do anything that might indicate
distrust of them, but students say
they don't get that feeling at all."
"The concept of honor has
changed over the years," he
noted. "Twenty-five years ago,
very few people went to college,
and it was considered an honor.
But now, a lot of people attend
college. That's why there's so
much peer pressure. The vast
majority 25 years ago were still
at home or at work. The family
and the church were the biggest
influences then; peers were not
the factor they are today."
"I went through the files in this
office and you wouldn't believe
the cases that were heard then. In
one case from the 1940s, a student
was suspended for going to the
movies without permission."
Clements said the Board's
decisions provide an education
benefit to the accused student,
regardless of the decision. "In
every case that we deliberate on,
we feel that our decision is an
educational experience as
opposed to a punitive one. That's
true even in dismissal cases."

and proteins — are made
naturally in biological processes.
Others — like nylon, plexiglass,
and polyurethane — are
synthetically made.
Longwood's polymer work is
funded in part by NASA. Dr.
Barber, along with Dr. Maurice
Maxwell, Leonard Klein, and
chemistry students, work in
cooperation with NASA scientists
at the Langley Research Center.
"Our research breaks ground
for NASA," said Greg Chiles, a
1986 chemistry graduate from
Keysville. "Their chemists will
take it one step further and
determine if our polymers have
potential for their purposes."
The recent acquisition of seven
state-of-the-art instruments is "a
tremendous boon to the
research," Greg said. "Our
ability to determine how a
polymer is shaped and structured
has increased at least a thousand
percent with the new
instruments."
The new instruments, valued at
more than $100,000, were funded
as part of the million-dollar-plus
appropriation by the 1984 General
Assembly for renovation and
modernization of Longwood's
science facilities.
There are various ways to
create polymers. In Dr.
Maxwell's research, he is using
an unusual organic acid as the
basic starting material. It is
combined with other compounds
to form the polymers.
Dr. Barber and his student
associates are doing research on
crystal growth and structure.
They are "growing" lead tin
telluride crystals, which could be
used to measure infrared
radiation.
Dr. Barber's project is
apparently the only one like it in
the world.
Dr. Robert Lehman and
students Donna Donkle
(Highland Springs) and Tamara
Marshall (Richmond) are
"evaluating pine foliage as a
potential source for naval
supplies and fine chemicals."
They are extracting resins and
other organic chemicals from
several species of pine trees that
grow in southside Virginia.
They shred needles, wash,
separate, evaporate, grow
crystals, filter, and analyze the
compounds by liquid and gas
chromatography.
Student researchers work one-
on-one with their professors
during each phase of the projects.
"The professors tell us what
needs to be done next. We have to
learn how to do it and then do it,"
Greg Chiles said.
"We're in the lab every
afternoon, Monday through
Friday, until dinnertime," Donna
Donkle said. "This experience is
really going to pay off for us. I
visited Consolidated
Laboratories in Richmond
recently. They were impressed
because I knew what they were
talldng about, and I knew how to
operate their instruments."
Norman Simpson, a 1985
chemistry graduate, says his
research experience was the key
to getting a position as chemist in
nuclear medicine at the National
Institutes of Health. He is
involved in making and testing
radioactive pharmaceuticals that
may help victims of brain
tumors, Parkinson's and
Alzheimer's diseases, and AIDS.
"To get this position, I had to
have excellent lab technique,"
Simpson said. "In this work, if
your technique isn't perfect and
careful, you could contaminate
an entire lab."
He estimates that he "beat out
about 200 people" for his job.
Other 1985 graduates of
Longwood's chemistry program
are now in graduate school at the
Medical College of Virginia and
at the University of Virginia.

Lancer Soccer Takes First
Player of the Week
Embarrassed by a 3-0 defeat j
at Lynchburg Saturday, ;
Longwood's 15th ranked soccer
team faces a rugged three-game
stretch this week highlighted by a
contest at second-ranked Lx)ck
Haven ( PA ) Saturday.
The Lancers will take a 6-1-1
mark into a Virginia
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association match at Mary
Washington Wednesday at 3:30.
The game pits a pair of VISA
Eastern Division teams with
state title aspirations. The Blue
Tide beat Lynchburg 4-3 last
week.
Saturday, Longwood plays the
highest ranked team it has ever
faced in Lock Haven, currently 7-
0-2 and ranked second in last
week's ISAA-Adidas Division II
rankings. The game begins at 12
Noon. Sunday at 1:00 the Lancers
face another tough Division II
Pennsylvania foe in Bloomsburg
University.
A fired-up Lynchburg team
handed injury-plagued Longwood ,
its worst defeat in two years
Saturday 3-0. The Hornets, who
have been nationally ranked in
Division III all season, were the
first team to score three goals on
Longwood since November, 1984
when Mary Washington and LC
tied for the VISA crown 3-3.
The loss was Longwood's worst
since a 4-0 defeat to Virginia
October 2, 1984.
"Injuries cfippled us at
midfield, but we didn't play hard
enough to win the game and '
Lynchburg did," said Lancer
coach Rich Posipanko, who was
disturbed by the loss. "It was
embarrassing. We just weren't
into the game and Lynchburg
was really gunning for us."
Playing before a Parent's Day
crowd Posipanko estimated at
over 1,000, Lynchburg battled the
visiting Lancers to a 0-0 halftime
deadlock. The Hornets got three
goals early in the second half to
decide the outcome.
Longwood played without
starting midfielders Mike Edge,
who was injured, and Jim
DiModica, who was home on
personal business. To make
matters worse, senior midfielder
Craig Reid went out early in the
second half with a rib-cage injury
(Continued on Page 7)
Field Hockey Bounces Back
The Longwood field hockey
team bounced back from a loss to
Duke to pick up two victories at
home last week and improve its
record to 7-3. Longwood will
travel to Richmond Wednesday
for a 4:00 contest, and will be
home Friday to take on
Georgetown at 4:00. Saturday
morning, LC visits Eastern
Mennonite for an 11 : 00 contest.
Liz Johnson led the offensive
charge Thursday with two goals
as the Lady Lancers pounced on
Randolph-Macon 5-0. One goal
was all the offense the lady
stickers needed Saturday as they
downed Maryland Baltimore
County 1-0.
UMBC proved to be a worthy
opponent Saturday. "The game
was tough," explained coach Sue

Finnie. "They committed a lot of
fouls by blocking the ball with
their bodies which kept us from
scoring."
Statistically Longwood
dominated the game. UMBC
managed to get off only five shots
to Longwood's 36, and the Lady
Lancers had 15 comers while
UMBC had three.
Traci Strickland scored the
only goal at the 27 : 48 mark of the
first half of an assist from Laura
Groetz. Goalkeeper Kim Howells
was credited with the shutout,
ler fourth of the season.
Coach Finnie was pleased with
he overall performance of her
earn.
The passing abilities of
Longwood proved to be one of the
key factors in Thursday's contest
with Randolph-Macon. The lady
stickers completely dominated
all phases of the game. The
defense played extremely well.
Strickland, with a goal and an
assist, was named the offensive
player of the game, while Claye
Conkwright, with 17
interceptions-tackles, was named
the defensive player of the game.
Howells was credited with still
another shutout. Longwood
managed to get 11 comers while
the Lady Yellow Jackets were
kept from attempting any. The
Lady Lancers dut-shot Randolph-
Macon 30-1 with the Jackets' only
attempt coming at the five
minute mark of the second half.
"We try to score within the first
five minutes of each half,"
explained Finnie. Longwood
scored at the 3:56 mark in the
first half and the 1 :45 mark of the
second half.
Longwood's 7-3 mark is
pleasing to the second year
coach.
Setter Staci Dillon had a serve
percentage of 100 in a victory
over Virginia Union last
Tuesday. For her performance,
the freshman volleyball player
has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period September 28-October
5, Player of the week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
Dillon, who was known for her
serving accuracy at Stonewall
Jackson High School, has been
Longwood's most consistent
performer all season, according
to coach Linda Elliott. The Lady
Lancers, much improved over
1985, are 7-10.
"Staci was perfect against
Virginia Union and has a serve
percentage of 92 for the season,"
said Elliott. "She runs our 5-1
offense and is the quarterback of
our team. Staci has an assist
percentage of 58, which means
that 58 percent of her sets have
ended in kills. She has been the
glue of our team."
Dillon, who lives in
Haymarket, Virginia, is
majoring in physical education at
Longwood with intentions of
becoming an athletic trainer.
STACI DILLON
She was MVP at Stonewall
Jackson last season in volleyball
while earning honorable mention
All-District and Albemarle All-
Toumament honors. She also
broke the school record for points
served.
A member of the National
Honor Society, she ranked eighth
in a graduating class of 462. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Dillon.
Posipanko To Coach
State Team
Longwood soccer coach Rich
Posipanko has been selected to
coach the Virginia Youth Soccer
Association under 17-and-a-half
State Team for 1986-87. The
Lancer coach is one of five
coaches from around the state
chosen to work with age groups
ranging from under 18-and-a-half
to under 14-and-a-half.
Posipanko will be responsible
for conducting a series of tryouts
in the fall and spring to select the
State under 17-and-a-half team.
The team will participate in a
series of regional and possibly
national competitions next
summer.
In his eighth season at
Longwood, Posipanko has guided
the Lancers to a pair of state
titles and has a record of 81-37-17
including a 6-1-1 mark in the 1986
campaign. Longwood is currently
ranked 15th in NCAA Division II.

Rugby Club Keeps Crushing! ^^olf Team Takss Second Place
By DAVID LARSON
The Longwood Rugby Qub
upped their record to 3^) in their
division and 3-1 overall. They
traveled to Lexington this past
weekend to play the men from
Washington and Lee.
These two teams were very
evenly matched as far as size was
concerned. Longwood got off to a
real slow start. The first try was
scored late in the first half by
David Larson. Tracy Kilby
followed close behind with a
blocked kick converted into a try.
Tim Seymour added the kick
after try to make the score 10-0.
Right before the end of the half
Washington & Lee scored a
penalty kick to end the half with a
score of 10-3.
What seemed to be a close
game turned into a rout.
Longwood came out in the second
half ready to play Rugby. The
game turned into a very physical
and aggressive type of game.
Longwood started their scoring
early with a try by Tim Seymour.
The next score was a drop kick by
Tim Seymour. This made the
score 19-3. With 15 minutes left in
the game Billy Sturgill and Steve
Jones added a try a piece with the
points after made by Tim
Seymour. This ended the scoring
and the game 31-3, putting yet
another mark in Longwood's
winning column.
The Longwood B-side also
played a good game. It was a
very low scoring game with only
one try scored by Pat Harvey late
in the second half. The game
ended in a tie with a score of 4-4.
This takes Longwood's B-side
record to a 1-0-1 record in the
division and a 1-1-1 overall.
Longwood's next game is this
weekend at home against a tough
Old Dominion team. Longwood
needs to win this game in order to
go into the State Championships
with a high ranking. We ask
everyone that can, to come out
and support the team.
Don't forget the First Rugby
Tournament ever, during
Oktoberfest. Longwood will open
up that morning against their all-
time rival Hampden-Sydney.
Barrett Nominated For Broderich Award
Longwood junior Tina Barrett,
a two-time AU-American and the
defending National Small College
Tournament champ, has been

Lady Spikers Host Invitational
College volleyball action will be
an all-day affair Saturday when '
Longwood hosts the sixth Cindy
Smith Invitational Tournament
in Lancer Hall. Action begins at
8:30 Saturday morning.
Longwood will be joined by
Liberty, Bridgewater, Virginia
Union, Randolph-Macon
Woman's College and
Bridgewater's junior varsity in
the six-team tournament. The
tourney format calls for round-
robin play followed by single
elimination. The finals are
scheduled for 7:30 Saturday
night.
The Lady Lancers will take a 7-
10 mark into a three-team match
at Mary Washington with
Catholic Tuesday night in
Fredericksburg. Longwood plays
its first match at 7:00.
Longwood swept a best-of-five-
games match at Virginia Union
last Tuesday night, beating the
homestanding Panthers 15-10, 15-
11 and 16-14.
LC coach Linda Elliott credited
her team's tough defense as the
key factor in earning the win over
a tall Virginia Union squad.
"We had good teamwork
Tuesday night," said the coach.
"Our problem has been
hesitation, but our players really
took charge of the balls in their
territory against Virginia
Union."
Longwood also got a rare
comeback victory in the final
game. After the Panthers had
rallied from a 12-9 deficit to go
ahead 14-12, captain Mary Beth
Friga served two points to pull
the Lady Lancers even at 14-14.
Then Joanna Marquez served two
points to clinch the match.
Elliott praised Lanette Ezell,
Staci Dillon and Kris Meyer for
their outstanding play in the
match. Ezell was seven of nine on
kills, Dillon served 100 percent of
her chances, and Meyer had
three blocks and two assist
blocks.
Nelson's squad has had its best
fall season in history to date with
two fourth places and a second
place in tournament play.
Marshall had a career-best 78-
79-157 to finish fourth, after
coming in second in a playoff
which broke a three-way tie for
third. Hardy rebounded with a
second round 75 to go with his
first round 83 for a 158 and sixth
place out of over 60 golfers.
Other Longwood scores
included: Ron Hatch 77-82-159, Ty
Bordner 80-82-162, Tony Good 77-
85-162, and Kevin Haskins 8(Mi3-
163. Each team had six golfers in
the tournament with the low four
scores counting.

"The injury situation is getting

22 field players who began the
season, we had just 14 available
Saturday. We hope we'll have
several of the injured players
back this week. Wednesday's
game at Mary Washington is
extremely important."
Posipanko praised senior back
John Anderson for his play in
Saturday's defeat. "John played
with intensity and didn't make
mistakes," said the coach.
Some People Are Dying
To Know The Facts
About Eating Disorders.
The truth is, bulimia and anorexia nervosa are
being diagnosed at an almost epidemic rate. An
estimated 15 to 20 percent of all college women are
bulimic, and approximately one out of every
100-250 young women suffer from anorexia.
People with bulimia go on periodic eating
binges, only to force up or "purge" their food later.
Anorectics typically starve themselves to as little as
65 percent of their normal body weight— or even
less.
Eating disorders are illnesses, ones that can
take over your life. But it doesn't have to be that
way— effective treatment can turn your life around.

An issue discussed at the

that all offenses should receive
automatic suspension. This
included the exception of special
cases in which counseling should
be prescribed. Also, students who
are in their first semester should
receive special consideration.
One of the most important issues

Oktoberfest Is Coining
Rugby Rolls On
Oktoberfest, Longwood
College's annual celebration of
school and class spirit, will be
held on Saturday, October 25.
A variety of athletic contests,
performances by student groups,
activities along the midway, and
an evening concert by the rock
group "The Bangles" will mark
this year's celebration.
New events include a field
hockey match between alumni
and current players — this is the
60th anniversary of Longwood
field hockey — an alunmi soccer
game and an alumni golf
tournament, and a four-team
rugby tournament. Squads from
Longwood and Hampden-Sydney
College will square off in the
rugby tournament.
The midway, which will be
open from 1 to 4 p.m., will be on
Lankford Mall for the first time.
For the past several years, it had
been on Pine Street in front of
Lancer Hall. "We're moving the
midway to provide a larger area
and to allow more ^)ace for
parking," said alumni director
Nancy Shelton.
The Oktoberfest Parade will
begin at 12:15 p.m. The Dance
Company will perform at 12:30
and 1:30 in Lancer Hall dance
studio. The Catalinas' water
show will be at 12:45 and 1:30 in
Lancer pool.
The Concert Band will play at 1
p.m. on the midway, the Concert
Choir will perform at 1:30 and
2:30 in Jarman Auditorium, and
the Lancer Edition (a show
choir) will give performances at
2 and 3 p.m., also in Jarman.
In the rugby tournament's first
game, set for 9 a.m. on Her Field,
Longwood and Hampden-Sydney
will oppose each other. The
American University will play a
Richmond city team. The
championship game — between
the two winners — will begin at 2
p.m.
The field hockey team will play
LaSalle at 10 a.m. on Barlow

Rugby Club crushes ODU;
faces Hampden-Sydney next.
The men from ODU came down
in anticipation of ending
Longwood's undefeated record.
Both teams went into the game
undefeated but when it was over
Longwood came out with the
unscaffed record.
What turned out to be a blow-
out started as a very close game.
The first half of the game was a
real tough battle for both teams.
The ball was being passed back
and forth from one side of the
field to the next. At the end of the
half the score was 3-0 Longwood.
The only score was by Tim
Seymour.
Whatever was said at halftime
must of worked for the Longwood
team. They came back out in the
second fired up and ready to win.
The second half was marked with
very physical abuse to both
teams. Seymour scored a
dropkick early in the second half
to start off the scoring. With only
20 minutes left in the game the
score was locked at 6-0. Then
from a broken line-out Dave
Larson scored the first try. After
that the game was turned around.
Tony Lindsay busted through the
pack for the second try and then
Dave (ole ranger) Rackley
scored back to back tries.
Seymour added a dropkick and a
few point after tries to end up the
scoring. When the dust cleared
Longwood had crushed yet
another opponent 31-3.
The B-side also enjoyed
another win. They too had a tough
battle with O.D.U. The Ix)ngwood
team was just too fired up after
the A-side game. The first score
came from John Hunt late in the
first half. Mike Sheear added a
penalty kick and Billy Magee
took the ball 60 yards for the last
score of the game. Final score
was 11-0 Longwood.
A special thanks goes out to all
the supportive fans that showed
up to cheer the team on. Another
special thanks goes out to the
Tailgaters for their support.
The next game will be during
Oktoberfest. The game will start
at 9 a.m. on Her Field. lx)ngwood
will be facing Hampden-Sydney.
Then at 10:30, American
University faces Richmond City.
Come out on Oktoberfest and
support the undefeated
Longwood Club.

So Who Cares?
You know those surveys you take all the time where the sur-
veyors almost always inveritably ask the question "how many
weekends do you spend a month at Longwood"? I guess the purpose
of that is the see if our school is actually the suitcase college that it
has been labeled.
Anyway, the reason I ask is because I always answer that I,
personally, spend at least four weekends a month (if not more) here.
But I lied. I was gone this weekend.
Now I know you're saying to yourself, "who cares?", but I guess
that's what I was originally trying to get at.
You see, the reason I wasn't here this weekend was because
there was a very special event that went on in Richmond and I was
lucky enough to be a part of it. That event was a gathering of
Longwood Administration, Faculty and Students that got together to
discuss the Honor Code-Honor System. We were trying to establish
whether or not the Code works (or even if it exists at all) and what
we can do to improve it — if anything.
Again, you're asking, so what?" But I think that again reaffirms
the focal point of the whole thing. Most students could really care
less.
And that's sad. Firstly, because the Honor Code really means a
whole lot more than just signing a meaningless pledge after every
test or on every written paper, and secondly, because if you don't
care about something like the Honor Code, then you probably don't
give too much of a damn about anything else at Longwood as a
whole.
And that's really sad, because if you don't care enough about a
small environment like the immediate world around you, then how
can you care about larger issues like your community, your nation,
or even your world? For that matter, how can you even care about
yourself?
Hedonism is a good word here. So is apathy. (For those of you
who haven't got the time to look those words up hedonism is
basically living for the day and not worrying about tomorrow and
apathy is a general lack of interest or concern.) And I suppose,
while I'm at it, I may as well include the word hypocrite. Sure I like
to have fun and certainly I've screwed up just about anything that
I've ever done ; but at least I'm trying my best.
And that's the real issue here. I may not be perfect, or for that
matter, even close. But at least I'm trying — and that's all that
anybody can ever ask of you. In fact, that's all that you can ever ask
of yourself.
Case in point. My role at the conference was basically to listen to
the issues at hand and bring those back to the people who couldn't be
there. I was to be one of the many links between those who make the
rules and those who live by them, and obviously I've screwed that up
pretty good. But if I do that, then that's exactly what we have ~ a
group called "they" who makes the rules and a group called "we"
who is supposed to live by them.
And that's not what "they" want, nor is it what "we" want.
So if "I" sit here and tell you what "they" decided, then "we"
don't get much out of it. But if "you" reach out to find what's really
going on for "yourself", then "they" and "we" becomes "US" —
both on the individual level and for the group as a whole — and that
makes the entire system much more productive.
One last bit of advice. Simply going to class does not prepare you
for life after college. You've got to question the system ; you've got to
question your peers; and most importantly, you've got to question
yourself. If you care enough to even bother reading this, then maybe
you care enough to do something about it — even if that something is
writing me a note that says, "Mick — you're full of shit!" At least
then I'll know you'll question things. And I'll also know you care
enough to take some action.
Like I said before, I'm not perfect — but at least I'm giving it a
shot. You don't need any more of an invitation than that....

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor's Note: The following is
a letter to Rick Miller who was
quoted in both the Hampden-
Sydney Tiger and the Longwood
Rotunda. I think you remember
the quote . . .
Rick Miller:
I have just read with disgust
and complete disdain the
"humorous" question that you
put in the Hampden-Sydney
Tiger's September 19 issue. I am
66 years old, have been through
grade school, high school,
college, the Air Force, and a full
career in business; and to be
perfectly honest and truthful with
you, I don't know when I have
ever read anything that so
completely sickened me. If this
type of humor is indicative of
Hampden-Sydney students, our
educational system has come to a
pretty low point. I can
understand you being so stupid,
insensitive, and without
character or principles as to
make such a statement and put it
in the paper, but I cannot
understand how the Editor-in-
Chief of the paper ever let it get
published and printed.
I assume you realize that your
action has proved to be an
embarrassment to the
newspaper, to the College, and to
our collegiate journalistic system
in general. I would really hope
that all of the alumni of
Hampden-Sydney have an
opportunity to read this "clever"
question that you posed and see
what their reaction to it would be.
I happen to be a graduate of
Washington & l^ee University and
I am sure that somewhere
along the line students have
made errors and taken actions
that may have upset me.
However, if I were an alumnus of
Hampden-Sydney and this type of
quotation appeared in a
publication printed by "my
college", I think I would be
embarrassed forever.
I have seen an apology from the
President of Hampden-Sydney
and I have seen an apology from
John Maloney, the Editor-in-
Chief of the paper, but I don't
recall having seen any statement
that you have made concerning
the inappropriate question and
answer. I presume you have
resigned from the newspaper, if
you were on the staff; but I don't
know what other action you may
have taken to try to remove this
black mark from the journalistic
efforts of the Hampden-Sydney
publication. I really would like to
know what your personal
conunents are concerning this
situation and what sort of
explanation or corrective action
you have attempted to make.
As you must know, I am in the
retail business in Farmville,
Virginia; and I happen to serve
on the Board of Visitors of
Longwood College, and that is
h(w I came upon the comment

You know that little thing that you pay every semester called the
Comprehensive Fee? Did you ever wonder exactly what it was or even
what it was for?
The Comprehensive Fee covers the costs of salaries and supplies
for various organizations and activities that can be taken advantage of
at Longwood. Here's a list of things that the money goes towards:

I have not shown this conunent
to many of the Hampden-Sydney
alumni in and around our area,
but I feel certain that when the
Board of Trustees and the Alumni
Association of Hampden-Sydney
see this they will be concerned
that this might be an example of
a typical statement of a typical
Hampden-Sydney student.
What is your feeling in this

Some of the terms cited are a bit ambiguous, so here's a few
definitions:
Recovery fees — for building and maintenance
Fiscal services — budgeting costs
Institutional services — uneducational necessities such as the
dining hall, etc.
Student development — R.E.C.'s, psychologisU, etc.
Fringe benefits — for employees of the College
Debt service — in this case, still paying off the construction of
Lancer Hall.
Faculty-Staff housing — the College owns four houses in the area
(besides Longwood House) that are rented to newly relocated
professors. This part of the fee covers upkeep and maintenance of
these houses.

Winter Came Early To Iceland
ByMATTPETERMAN
The pre-summit summit
quickly turned into what tends to
look like the last Super Power
Summit that will take place until
Reagan is out of office. Though
there is great potential for many
agreements like massive cuts in
intermediate and long-range
nuclear weapons along with
extension or new form of the
ABM Treaty, the price was
apparently too high.
As a gambler knows, a roll of
the dice can bring great
winnings or great losses. In the
case of the Iceland summit, both
leaders left empty-handed.
Clearly frustrated and angry at
each other, the super-powers
remain dead-locked on what
became the central issue,
Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI). But, it must be noted that
both sides failed and the notion
that the Iceland Summit
collapsed because of S.D.I, is
ridiculous.
The clear goal of the Soviet
Union was to get rid of S.D.I. ,
because to them it is a symbol of
the technological capacity that
the U.S. can attain. Premier
Gorbuchev claiming he will cure
the ills of the Soviet economy,
cannot afford an economic race
with the U.S. in the development
of new weapon systems;
particularly S.D.I. Though the
Soviet Union is immune to world-
wide opinions as well as from its
people, Premier Gorbachev will
not be looked on as favorably
with his colleagues and this will
spell trouble as he tries to
centralize his power even
further. In the meantime, the
Soviet people, who live
comparable to Americans at the
turn of the century, will continue
to suffer, for military spending is
the last cut ever made in the
Soviet budget.
The goals of the U.S. seems to
point to deep reduction in all long
and intermediate range missiles.
The U.S. also wanted to question
the validity of the ABM treaty and
what steps it would take to make
it better suited for the times. This
would all have to be done without
abandoning S.D.I. , which the
Soviets insisted the U.S. do. The
U.S. is also having economic
problems and the failure of this
summit clearly is not good. The
President will be supported by
the U.S. citizens for the most
part and criticized in many other
circles. The failure of Reagan's
theory that, tiie U.S. must build
up before it can build down has
failed and is a great set-back for
him. The failure to hammer out
any agreements will also be
viewed in the world arena as
tragic and the Soviet Union will
capitalize on this as they will
start a massive public relations
campaign against the U.S.
With this negative media blizt,
the Soviets will attempt to change
public opinion everywhere. It will
be mostly aimed at U.S. citizens,
congress, and its allies.
Hopefully, the U.S. press will
screen their propaganda from the
Soviet Union, not just repeat the
communist line verbation.
The relations between the
Soviet Union and the U.S. will
revert back to cold war status,
nor will an arms rule in space
begin. They have certainly not
moved forward or backward
which brings one to conclude that
relations are the same as usual
and to panic would be foolish.
All and all, the President's
performance was no surprise and
should be commended. He laid it
on the line for the Soviets and
they resisted and the converse is
true in the Soviet perspective. In
the U.S., the trend that has
developed with respect to
summits, is that success is
downplayed and failure is over
emphasized, which will probably
be the case of this summit. We
must look at this summit in
positive light and believe in the
President that has been elected
and trusted to make decisions for
this country.
In conclusion, the fact of the
matter is: both sides failed. Both
sides were compromising, but
equalibrium could not be
reached, thus the summit failed.
The U.S. and Soviet Union must
co-exist on the same planet and
both sides realize this. The
possibility of another Reagan,
Gorbachev summit seems slim,
but normal relations between the
two countries will continue. Both
countries do agree that there is
still great opportunity for
progress, but the question
remains, when?

STEPHANIE CAUKOS
In Saturday's action Longwood
suffered through a long afternoon
as they could only muster a win
over Virginia Union. According
to coach Linda Elliott the Lady
Lancers showed spurts of
greatness but could not keep the
consistency needed to win. As in
past games Longwood played a
good first half then lost the
intensity to hold the lead.
Although the tourney did not
sky rocket the team's
progression, Elliott does feel like
her team is moving in the right
direction both attitude and skill
wise.
"We're inching along, but we
are moving," says Elliott. "Our
players have all the tools but not
the experience."
Making exceptional use of their
tools were Stephanie Caukos and
Kris Meyer who were named to
the All-Tournament Team. Both
players displayed great hitting
throughout the tournament to
earn their spots on the list. This
marked the first time in tourney
history that two Longwood
players made the team.
Prior to the tournament the
Lady Lancers spent last Tuesday
night at Mary Washington.
Longwood came home with a
victory over Catholic and a loss to
Mary Washington.
In the first match LC defeated
Catholic 15-9, 15-6. Meyer again
KRIS MEYER
showed off her talents with an
overall 9 for 11 kill ratio. Annetee
Easterling served five straight
points including two aces. Sarita
Thunnan also had a good night at
the serve line with nine straight
points of her own.
In the loss to Mary Washington,
(15-8, 15-7) Longwood lost its
composure after gaining early
leads. There were a lot of
dropped balls. Meyer and Coukos
enjoyed a good night blocking
with two and three blocks
respectively during the first
game.
Some People Are Dying
To Know The Facts
About Eating Disorders.
The truth is, bulimia and anorexia nervosa are
being diagnosed at an almost epidemic rate. An
estimated 15 to 20 percent of all college women are
bulimic, and approximately one out of ever>'
100-250 young women suffer from anorexia.
People with bulimia go on periodic eating
binges, only to force up or "purge" their food later.
Anorectics typically starve themselves to as little as
65 percent of their normal body weight— or even
less.
Eating disorders are illnesses, ones that can
take over your life. But it doesn't have to be that
way— effective treatment can turn your life around.

Tina Barrett and Gretchen Pugh
all shot final round 78's.
Melone was Longwood's most
consistent golfer in the
tournament with a 76-82-78-236
which placed her in the top 10 out
of over 70 golfers. Barrett was
right behind with an 81-7a-78-237.
In finishing third at Duke,
Longwood beat such Division I
teams as Nebraska (981) and
Penn State (979). The Lady

26 in the Lady Tar Heel
Invitational.
Men's Golf
"We just about eliminated triumph over Mary Washington.
ourselves from the NCAA
Playoffs with Sunday's loss,"
said Lancer coach Rich
Posipanko. "We played well
against Lock Haven, but we came
out flat Sunday. We'll have to
point toward making the state
playoffs now,"
The I.ancers, behind a great
performance from goalkeeper
Rob Liessem, led Lock Haven 1-0
going into the game's final 14
minutes Saturday. Liessem had
13 saves to help off-set a 21-4 Lock
Haven edge in shots on goal.

Thursday. Coach Bill Moore's
squad had a 2-4 mark in the fall.
The lady netters had dropped a
9-0 decision at Washington & Lee
last Monday, but bounced back to
trim the Yellow Jackets
Thursday.
"We feel we will have a
competitive team in the spring,"
said coach Moore. "We have a
number of young players who
gained some valuable experience
this fall."
Field Hockey
The Longwood field hockey
team's lack of scoring caused the
young squad to lose two of three
games last week. The 8-5 Lancers
will take on VCU in Richmond
Tuesday at 4 p.m. and host
Radford Thursday for a 4 p.m.
contest.
Longwood was shut down by

Georgetown 1-C Friday. Eastern
Mennonite downed the Lady
Stickers 1-0 Saturday.
Coach Sue Finnie's team out
shot Eastern Mennonite 24-14
Saturday, but could not manage
to put the ball in the goal. "We
were a little flat after an
emotional and hard-fought win
over Georgetown Friday,"
explained Finnie. Eastern
Mennonite is the defending Old
Dominion Athletic Conference
champion.
The game was tied 0^ at the
half, but home standing EMC
scored around the two minute
mark into the second half. Traci
Strickland and Claye Conkwright
played well in the contest.
Liz Annet scored the only goal
of the game as Longwood shut out
visiting Division I Georgetown 1-0
Friday. Strickland was
credited with the assist.
"We were brilliant, and we
hustled the entire game. This was
the best game we've played all
year," Finnie boasted. "The loss
at Richmond really motivated
our players."
Richard defeated the visiting
Lancers 2-1 Wednesday. "We
played horrible," moaned Finnie.
Richmond out shot the Lady
Lancers 15-2 in the first half and
21-13 for the game. Again, Liz
Annet scored the lone Longwood
goal.
Diane Bingler and I^ura Felch
played well defensively.

NUMBER FIVE
Tickets Are Still On Sale

I
By SUSAN THOMPSON
Yes! It's true! The Bangles art
coming to the 'Wood for
Oktoberf est, October 25. Why you
may ask? Well, why not, if the
price is right. Longwood College
has a commitment to the Student
Union for additional funding for
special events, and in a survey
conducted by SUN last year, a big
name concert was what the
students wanted. In the past, the
only prohibiting factor was the
price. Other bands that were
considered by SUN were R.E.M.
and the Outfield. Having the
Bangles play here will cause a
drain on available funds for the
rest of the year, but it shouldn't
prove harmful. Besides, SUN
feels that a small loss is worth it
to have a big name band play
here. A loss is not predicted,
however, as long as Longwood
College students show thei''
support and turn out for the show
Three thousand tickets are oi
sale as of October 1, and unti
Octobner 6, those tickets are
being sold exclusively to
Longwood College students,
faculty, and staff. There is no
limit to the number of tickets one
can buy, at $8 a ticket. After
It's no joke — the Bangles will be here for Oktoberfest.
Something New
Tau Kappa Epsilon, a
fraternity colony at Longwood
College, has chosen a novel
approach to raising money for
charity.
TKE members will take turns
pushing a hospital gumey bed
from Cumberland County High
School to Longwood the morning
of Saturday, Oct. 25. They plan to
arrive on the campus in time to
take part in the Oktoberfest
Parade. The money they are
raising will go to the United Way
of Prince Edward.
"We hope to raise at least
$1,500," said colony president
John Pastino. "We've already
received more than $1,200 in
pledges. So far, 300 people have
pledged contributions."
A fraternity colony is a group of
male students on its way to
becoming an official fraternity.
People have been pledging so
much per mile or simply pledgmg
one amount, Pastino said.
Contributions also will be
accepted during the 20-mile trip
from Cumberland to longwood.
The event will begin at 4 a.m.
TKE members will work in
seven-man shifts, each of which
will be responsible for covering
five miles. Pastino estimates that
each mile will take about 20
minutes, based on a test run.
A van carrying Pastino and
other colony members will follow
closely behind. For the first eight
miles, a fire engine or a rescue
squad vehicle also will follow,
with its lights on. Most of the trip
will be along Route 45.
The Oktoberfest Parade will
begin at 12:15 p.m.
This is the TKE colony's first
major fund-raising project. Last
year, colony members visited
people once a week at the Senior
Citizens of Prince Edward
(SCOPE) center and picked up
and delivered clothing for
Domestic Assistance for You
(DAY) clients.
TKE became a colony — which
requires at least 15 interested
males — on Feb. 8. The colony
has 37 members. A colony can
become a full-fledged fraternity
after one year. TKE should gain
official fraternity status by next
April, said Pastino, a junior from
Albany, Ga.
Those who wish to make
contributions should send them to
Box 1129, Longwood College,
Farmville, VA 23901. Checks
should be made payable to United
Way.
October 6, though, tickets go on
sale to the general public. The
concert is being advertised in
areas in about an hour and a half
radius, with concentration in
Richmond, Charlottesville, and
Lynchburg. The capacity of
Lancer Hall is 3500, which means
that the gym won't be
overcrowded. The concert is
general admission with 500 chairs
on the floor plus bleacher seats.
The gym floors will be covered
with tarps, but due to the danger
of damage to thr gym floor,
dancing will not be permitted.
Food, beverages, and smoking
will also not be allowed. These
rules must be adhered to or else
this will not only be the first
concert of this size here at the
'Wood, but the last.
The doors will open at 7 p.m.,
and the opening at 8 p.m. will
be a band called EIEIO, who is
currently touring with the
Bangles. Playing time for both
bands is flexible. Special
parking for the concert is being
worked out between campus
police and the Student Union. The
fact that the Oktoberfest booths
have been moved from in front of
Lancer to Stubbs Mall is helpful.
Student Union asks for student
input both before and after the
show, and on any other matters
concerning the student body.
SUN meets every Monday night
at 6: 15 in Lankford and everyone
is welcome. If you are unable to
attend, you can leave your
conunents or letters at the SUN
office located upstairs in
lankford. Please address all
letters to the Student Union board
or Jay Fitzhugh. The next
concert will be Wild Kingdom on
November 21. SUN needs
suggestions on where you'd like
to see this concert (ie: lower
dining hall. Her field, etc.).
Student Union is hoping for a
sold-out concert as tickets are
already selling quickly.
Hopefully the Bangles concer'
will be the start of something
here at Ix)ngwood that will catch
on. Longwood College
administration has shown
tremendous help and support and
should be congratulated. Special
thanks to those who made it
possible to use lancer Hall
despite the risk to the gym floor.
Get your tickets, show your
support, and enjoy the Bangles!

Say It Isn h So !. . .
Editor's Note: The following is an opinion from a person who
identified his-herself to me simply as "A Friend". This person
realized that "it is not routine journalistic practice to accept un-
solicited and unsigned works for publication..." but the theme is all
too true and the implications of "date rape" are devistating.
Therefore, I thought I'd print it as a guest editorial to give you all
something to think about. Space will be provided in future issues of
The Rotunda for comment, rebuttal or support. Thanks for
listening....
BHB
I read the story and thought... it cannot be true! Surely for this to
be happening something has to be very wrong. Maybe it was simply
a misunderstanding!
I was wrong... the facts are there and the stories are real, too
real at that!
Did you know that:
* 54 percent of all women survey experienced some form of
sexual victimization!
* One in every seven women were victims of rape, according
to the prevailing legal definition!
* One in thirteen men admitted to having fulfilled the
prevailing definition of rape or attempted rape, yet virtually none of
those men identified themselves as rapists!
* Of the women who were raped, almost 75 percent did not
identify their experience as rape!
* 57 percent of the rapes reported in the study were per-
petrated by first dates, and 84 percnet were perpetrated by
acquaintances!
* 75 percent of the women raped were between the ages of 15
and 21 ; the average age at the time of the rape was 18!
These are the facts from a study involving 7000 students at 35
institutions of higher education, amongst our best and brightest.
Guys, they are talking about us, you and me, our friends, the
people we see in the hallways and in the dining hall. Friends (men)
are hurting, exploiting, and destroying relationships with friends
(women) and these women are our friends, sisters, and classmates.
The averages reported in the study would suggest that on our
campus no matter where you live, at least two people on your
residence hall floor have been involved in such an act. Worse yet, it
implies they see nothing wrong with their behavior!
These facts cause me to wonder if I would-could ever do such
things? Why should I be exempt?
Would I ever force a kiss on a reluctant or resisting date?
Have I ever "copped a feel" thinking it was no big deal?
Would I use my strength, size, or quickness to trap a woman and
prevent her from leaving a situation in which she was feeling un-
comfortable?
Do I think a woman is "asking for it" by a style of dress or talk,
by being in the wrong place, or just by being?
If my date said no more, even after some "making out" would I
insist on more. ..and more. ..and?
Would I stand by, watch, and maybe laugh as my roommate,
suitemate, or anybody for that matter, was forcing himself on a
woman despite her objections?
How loud must a cry for help be until I am going to do
something?
Well, I think I've begun to become tired of it all. I am sick of the
things I am reading about that are occurring on our campus. I am
sick of women being scared of me and my friends, and now I am
going to do something about it all !
No more laughing at the sick jokes that degrade and make fun of
women, no more sitting by while others are being scarred for life by
the actions of the few, while the rest of us sit around and watch !
But what can I do, after all I am only one person? Will these acts
on my part help? I hope so because I too am scared of the problem
and want it to stop !
I will be sure my friends know that I have changed, no big an-
nouncement just the truth from now on. I'll tell people that I think it
is wrong what has been happening and that now we must act to stop
it. I'll write President Reagan, Senators Trible and Warner,
Representative Daniels and ask them to give back the night. I will
tell Governor Baliles, he has daughters, he must care!
I'll post articles on the subject around on the bulletin boards and
in the classrooms, I'll donate one night's worth of beer money to the
D.A.Y. Center. Most of all I am going to care and let people know
that something is wrong!

On Sept. 15, Honeywell
launched its fifth-annual Futurist
Awards Competition, an essay
contest that asks students to
predict technology
advancements 25 years from
now.
Honeywell wants college
students to imagine the year 2011
and write essays about the
technological developments they
foresee. This year's contest will
offer 10 winners $3,000 each and
the chance to work for Honeywell
next summer.
Last year, 450 students,
representing 325 colleges and
universities in 47 states, entered
the competition.
The contest is open to all full-
time students at any accredited
college in the United States.
Students are asked to leap 25
years in the future and write an
essay predicting developments in
one of six technological areas:
electronic communications,
energy, aerospace, computer
science, manufacturing
automation or office automation.
A second essay must address the
societal impact of the
technological predictions. Each
essay must be no longer than
1,500 words.
Students can receive contest
rules by writing Futurist Rules,
Honeywell Telemarketing
Center, Honeywell Plaza MN12-
4164, Minneapolis, MN 55408, or
calling toll free 1-800-328-5111,
ext. 1581. Requests for entry
material must be received by
Dec. 31, 1986.
Completed essays must be
postmarked no later than Jan. 31,
1987. In February, a panel of top
Honeywell scientists and
engineers will judge the essays
on the basis of creativity,
feasibility, clarity of expression
and legibility.
Winners will be announced in
early March, and each of the 10
winners will receive a two-day,
all-expense-paid trip to
Honeywell's headquarters in
Minneapolis.
Honeywell is a Minneapolis-
based international corporation
that works together with
customers to help them achieve
their goals through the
application of computers,
communications and controls.
The company has 94,000
employees worldwide, with 1985
revenue of $6.6 billion and net
income of $281 million.

Study In Innsbruck
The University of New Orleans
will sponsor its 12th annual
session of UNO-INNSBRUCK, an
International Summer School
program in Innsbruck, Austria.
This educational-travel
experience will involve over 250
students and some 30 faculty and
staff for the summer of 1987.
"UNO's popular Alpine
summer school attracted
students from 35 different
American universities and
colleges and several foreign
countries for the summer of '86,"
says Carl Wagner, Associate
Director of the Office of
International Study Programs at
UNO. "As a result, UNO-
INNSBRUCK is now one of the
argest overseas summer schools
iffered by an American
university."
Applicants are already lining
up for the 1987 session. Part of the
secret may be that more than 70
courses in many different
academic subject areas are
offered in this magnificant and
scenic Alpine Innsbruck setting
in the "Heart of Central Europe".
While participants can earn up to
ten semester hours of credit,
their classrooms are surrounded
by the towering Tyrolean Alps,
whose peal(s are always snow-
capped.
Naturally, courses offered with
UNOINNSBRUCK focus on the
cultural, historic, social and
economic issues of Europe. But,
during the 1987 session courses in
business and science will also be
taught. All instruction is in
English, and faculty from the
University of New Orleans, guest
professors from other American
universities and from the
University of Innsbruck will
participate. All college credits
earned are fully transferable. A
very special feature of the 1987
program will be Governor
Richard Lanun of Colorado who
will teach several history courses
concerning the great issues of
today that Western nations must
face.
During the session, students
are housed in the Studentenhaus
at the 300 year-old University of
Innsbruck. The school is a five-
minute walk from the many inns,
cafes, and beer gardens in the
"Old Town" of Innsbruck. And,
three-day weekends offer ample
time for students to travel, hike
in the Alps, or ski on the nearby
glaciers.
UNO-INNSBRUCK-1987 will
convene with gala opening
ceremonies on June 28th and end
on August 8th. An optional three-
week tour of Western Europe and
a one month work-study castle
restoration program in Belgium
are available to interest students.
Registration for UNO-
INNSBRUCK is already
underway. Enrollment in the
program is limited, so interested
applicants should apply as soon
as possible. Information and a
full color brochure describing the
program in detail can be had by
writing to UNO-INNSBRUCK-
1987, c-o International Study
Programs, Box 1315-UNO, New
Orleans, LA 70148. Or, you can
call (504) 286-7116. Don't delay!
A.M.A. Goes To Richmond
Danny Hughes takes a quick break from a recent A.M.A.
professional chapter meeting.
Longwood American
Marketing Association
President, Barrett Baker and
Executive Council member
Danny Hughes, recently
represented lx)ngwood at the
Richmond AMA's professional
chapter meeting last Tuesday at
the Mid-town Holiday Inn on
Broad Street.
The keynote speaker at the
meeting was Paul Cragin, Vice-
President of BAI, who lectured on
Market Positioning, or "the
communication from a company
concerning a product or service
that allows the consumer to judge
how it compares to competitive
offerings."
One problem that Cragin cited
in repositioning a product is that
consumers sometimes filter out
problems because they are
"givens." One such example is a
computer log on that takes a long
time or is comphcated. "I was
interviewing someone once,"
said Cragin, "who wanted me to
see his new computer. So we went
to look at it and he just started
pushing buttons and waiting, etc.,
until I finally said, 'What are you
doing?' He had accepted the fact
that in order to get the system to
work, you had to wait five to ten
minutes. As soon as people
started to reahze that this was a
waste of time, they developed a
two-step log on process and the
software sold like crazy. Bingo!
This was something they had
overlooked before. "This was iu.st
one example that Cragin used to
demonstrate how important it is
for companys to listen to
consumers."
Overall, the meeting was
successful. However, the student
turnout from Longwood was
.somewhat disappointing. "I think
mid-terms had a lot to do with
that," .stated Baker. "Hopefully,
we'll be able to take a bigger
group to the November
meeting."
Any students who are
interested in joining the AMA
should contact Burt Brooks in
Hiner.

World
Love WiU Find A Way
By MATT PETERMAN
During this week or the next,
President Reagan will sign into
law a bill that will provide the
Nicaraguan freedom fighters
with $100 niillion in military and
humanitarian aid. The long
delayed aid is greatly needed as
the Soviet Union has supplied
communist Nicaragua with over
a billion dollars of mostly
military aid. The Soviets support
has greatly increased in 1986, as
the Gorbachev Doctrine, which
states, whenever the west tries to
liberate a country, the Soviet
bloc will push back twice as hard,
has kicked into full gear.
The Sandanista regime is
rewarded with weopons like
helicopter gunships, tanks, and
an array of sophisticated missies
for their repressive governing of
the Nicaraguan people. The
Soviet Union has also provided
the Sandanistas with Cuban
military advisors whose
experience gained in Afghanistan
and Angola are a great help to
them.
Many Americans would rather
give the Contras nothing and be
passive. They scream, as a scare
tactic, that it will be another
Vietnam which for the most part
is false. The undeclared war that
the U.S. carried on in Vietnam is
so deeply complex and
involved that the analogy is
weak. The U.S. Congress has
even passed legislation that
orders all Americans to stay out
of a 30 mile area close to any
Nicaraguan border and
discourages any travel close to
these areas. It must also be noted
that until the aid bill is signed, no
governmental agency will give
any funds or resources to the
Contras.
On the other hand there are
many Americans who could not
wait for Congress to make up
their mind. Recently a C-123
transport plane was shot down
with a sole survivor, who
happened to be American.
Though the U.S. government is
not involved in this particular or
any facilitating of supplies to the
Contras, it does not discourage
this type of activity. Had
Congress passed this aid more
quickly, tragic incidents like this
plane crash could have been
avoided.
As the Gorbachev Doctrine
begins to penetrate Central
America, the U.S. must be strong
in repelling so as the true heirs of
the Nicaraguan revolution, the
Contras, can triumph. Though
the Sandanistas claim Nicaragua
is a great democracy, they forget
that the system they have
installed is a communist
dictatorship. With or without U.S.
pressure, Nicaragua will
continue to import arms for what
future devious actions remain to
be seen. One look at Cuba gives
one a picture of what Nicaragua
will become in the years to come:
anything but free.
Though the Gorbachev
Doctrine applies to the entire
world scene, a win for it in
vunerable Nicaragua could give
rise to the entire collapse of
Central America. The U.S. must
be strong in the face of a
dangerous threat that could
disrupt peace in the decades to
come.

Mike and Michelle Estes met
the very first day of their
freshman year. They were
married July 25, 1985, the
summer before their sophomore
year. They are now Juniors, and
had their first child, Brandon
Todd Fates, this summer on July
31, 1986.
How do two college kids
manage to pay their own way
through school, juggle classes,
marriage, and have a 2V2-month-
old child? It's not easy, as Mike
put it. "It puts a lot of stress or
you, that a lot of people don'i
see." Mike and Michelle live ai
the Alumni House. It is also theii
job. They have the responsibilitj
of making sure the 3-story, sb
bedroom house is clean, that th«
various guests have what thej
need, and act as host and hostess
of the Alumni Association. They
must represent Longwood
College at its highest regard.
This simply puts a roof over
their head. Mike is also Head
Student Supervisor for the dining
hall. Michelle was a student
supervisor last year. In addition
to this, Mike was awarded a
$3,000 scholarship by ARA on
April 23, 1985. They also have
several financial aid loans.
College is now paid for, but how
do they work their schedules
around a baby? Mike is an
accounting major, taking fifteen
hours this semester. Most of his
classes are in the afternoon.
Michelle is a special education
major, taking nine hours. Her
classes are in the morning. They
have only one conflict on
Mondays and Wednesdays from
1:30-2:20, when a friend sits for
Brandon.

Longwood'8 Brandnew CAMPUS NOTES
Drill Team
Longwood's most recent attempt to attract crowds to sporting
events — The new Drill Team.
By ROBIN MARTIN
What is the Longwood Drill
Team? The Longwood Drill
Team, or the Lancer Line as they
are called, is a group of 23 girls
who are enthusiastic about
spreading spirit at school. These
girls work very hard for two
hours two nights a week at dance
routines to be performed before
at least 10 home men's baseball
games, and halftime at at least 3
women's basketball games. The
.style of dancing is a mixture of
variety, jazz, high kicks, and
props.
The captains of the lancer Line
are Bonita Turner and Wanda
Carter, who performed on the
drill team at Caroline High
School in Milford, Va. Bonita was
the captain and Wanda was the
co-captain of their team in high
school. Both Bonita and Wanda
have a lot of experience with drill
team and teach the routines that
they knew in high school and
learned this summer at the
Superstar Drill Team Camp at
George Mason University. They,
along with Tracey ToUiver, who
is also on the Drill Team,
attended this camp for three
days. They attended classes from
8 in the morning until 9:30 at
night learning 10 new routines.
The girls that make up the
I.«incer Line are a variety of not
only black and white girls, but
freshmen, sophomore, and
juniors as well. Some are
involved with sororities, some
with dance company, and others
are just interested in being
involved in spreading spirit at
Longwood. Annah Duff is a junior
and a new girl on the team. When
asked what she thought about the
drill team so far she said that
they were "great girls with lots of
enthusiasm and spirit and I'm
really excited about it. Gina
Marks, also a junior, remarked
that the drill team was "going
places, and the girls have lots of
determination."
Bonita and Wanda wanted to
emphasize that the drill team
was hoping to help the
cheerleaders bring spirit to the
basketball games and that they
were totally supporting them.
"The drill team has a lot of
potential and we are really
excited about the future," stated
Bonita. "We think that we have
the talent to perform and the
faculty and students should be
impressed." Wanda said, "We're
coming along well, with lots of
hard work, and if we stick
together, we'll make it." Both
added that they also wanted to
give the players support as well.
Robert Clater, Promotional
Director of the Longwood
Basketball teams, saw the drill
team's first practice. He claims,
"Without a question the drill
team is made up of leaders and
workers, willing to work and
learn. The potential is there to
become a major part of the spirit
at liOngwood. A new tradition?
Maybe. With a little work and
support from the college this
group may reach levels not yet
seen at Longwood. With this,
Longwood's basketball teams
will receive a shot in the arm and,
who knows, maybe a full gym."
So if you are getting curious
about the Drill Team, come to
Oktoberfest and see their first
performance, then come to the
basketball games. As a member
of the Lancer Line myself, I think
that you will be impressed.

AAW
Longwood College has
proclaimed October 20-26, 1986,
and November 3-9, 1986, as
Alcohol Awareness Weeks here.
(The National AAW is Oct. 20-26;
and our local AAW is Nov. 3-9).
The declaration coincides with
National Collegiate Alcohol
Awareness Week (NCAAW), a
nationwide effort sponsored by
the Inter-Association Task Force,
which represents all college
personnel staffs across the
country, held Oct. 20-26.
Alcohol Awareness Week is
intended to make alcohol
education and information
available for students, to
emphasize prevention through
education as a viable means of
helping to solve problems
associated with alcohol misuse
and abuse and to increase
awareness of the individual as
the one ultimately responsible for
decisions regarding alcohol.
Alcohol Awareness Week at
Longwood is intended to not only
promote responsible decision
making regarding alcohol, but to
emphasize that it is ultimately an
individual's responsibility to
make those decisions. The
program emphasizes that only a
personal commitment to making
responsible decisions regarding
alcohol will make an impact on
the problems associated with its
misuse and abuse.
Alcohol Awareness Week will
include various workshops,
displays, and activities across
the Longwood campus, all aimed
at promoting prevention through
education and individual
responsibility in connection with
the use of alcohol.
Buttons, posters, and bumper
stickers will be available the first
part of Alcohol Awareness Week,
October 20-26. In addition, booths,
literature, and contests will be
held. The follow-up week of
November 3-9 will involve
various speakers, presentations,
videos, and more contests and
prizes.

Iranian Hostage Speaks At Longwood
The United States and other
Western nations will not curb
terrorism until they are
"consistent in making terrorists
pay each time they strike," a
former hostage in Iran told a
Longwood College audience
recently.
Col. Charles W. Scott, who was
one of 52 Americans held hostage
at the American Embassy in
Tehran from Nov. 4, 1979 until
Jan. 20, 1981, spoke at Longwood
Oct. 2. He is an authority on
international terrorism.
The lecture was sponsored by
the Student Union.
Terrorism will continue "until
the civilized nations of the world
can be brought to realize that
terrorism is clearly an
international threat and an
international problem; that it
will require a concerted,
cooperative effort by all nations
if we are to deny terrorists the
sanctuary, safe passage and
support they now enjoy, and
without which their operations
can't succeed," said Scott.
At the same time, the U.S.
should not over-react to the
threat of terrorism. "The
greatest threat posed by the
terrorist is that we may be
provoked into an exc^sive
reaction, adopting liberty-
limiting legislation and
oppressive counter-measures. So
far the actual injury caused by
terrorism against the U.S. has
been relatively light."
"We need to remember that
fear, distrust and the feeling of
government impotence are the
tools employed by the terrorist to
force radical change in a society,
or even cause a government to
collapse. When we over-react, we
play into the hands pf our avowed
enemies."
America has been at war for
almost six years, although we are
"reluctant to face reality," he
said.
"The murder, torture and
kidnapping of innocent
Americans by terrorists, on
orders from any state that
sponsors and controls them —
providing them training, arms,
money, safe passage and
sanctuary — constitutes a direct
act of war against the U.S. by the
sponsoring state."
"Our failure to consider state-
controlled terrorism an act of
war in the past has served only to
embolden terrorists and their
masters in countries like Libya,
Iran and Syria, among others.
Unfortunately, even after the
April 14 strike against Libya,
most Americans are not willing
to concede that we are at war.
And the performance of our
'allies' gives no cause for
optimism that we will win the
fight against state-controlled
terrorism any time soon."
Our country's experience in
Vietnam "infected Americans
and our European allies with a
kind of moral paralysis against
the use of military force, even in
response to blatant acts of
jsiamagf -against oufxcitizens and
our nation."
Terrorist acts have increased
10-fold in the past decade and
more than 90 percent of them
have achieved their objectives,
said Scott. Last year, there were
more than 800 terrorist
operations worldwide and 928
men, women and children were
killed by trerrorists — only 23
were Americans.
"So, contrary to what the
terrorists preach — that we are
the prime targets because we are
universally hated — terrorism is
clearly an international problem,
not a threat unique to America."
The major sponsors of
terorism are Libya, Iran and
Syria, said Scott. Unfortunately,
some Western nations "bow to
their own short-term financial
and political interests in lieu of
opting for an effective policy to
fight terror."
These countries include Italy
(which has a $5 billion annual
trade with Libya), Austria
( which sells chemicals to Iraq for
the production of poison gas).
West Germany ( which is a major
trading partner with Iran),
Greece and, surprisingly, Israel.
"We've all heard the cliche:
One man's terrorist is another
man's freedom fighter. To me,
this is the ulitmate example of
our moral confusion. But it's
exactly what the terrorist would
have us believe. They also persist
in calling themselves
guerrillas. They are neither
freedom fighters nor are they
guerrillas . . .Guerrillas are
irregular soldiers that fight
regular military forces.
Terrorists almost never engage
regular military forces; their
prime targets of choice are weak
and defenseless civilians,
•Women, children and old men
included."
Scott said that Israeli
Ambassador Netanyahu
provided the best definition of
terrorism — "the deliberate and
systematic murder, maiming
and menacing of the innocent to
inspire fear for political ends."
"There is a popular myth that
terrorism is a natural outgrowth
of the frustration and anger of the
downtrodden masses, especially
in the Third Worid. Although this
kind of terrorism does exist, it is
not widespread, nor is it a major
threat."
"The kind of terrorism that has
menaced the world over the last
decade is state-sponsored — it's
also, by definition, state-
controlled — terrorism. Without
state sponsorship, international
terror would be extremely
difficult, if not impossible."
We need to adopt new and
bolder methods to eliminate
terrorism, Scott proposed.
"Until recently, we fought the
war against terrorism by not
fighting it at all. We insisted on
following a rigid list of nearly
impossible-to-satisfy rules of
engagement — prohibiting direct
punitive action unless we could
positively locate the individual
terrorists involved in an attack
and catch them alone, totally
isolated from innocent civilians',
so noncombatants would notbef in
jeopardy."
"Had we fought World War II
with this kind of self-imposed
restrictions, we'd all be
marching the goose step today.
We've fought this tedious, and in
my view, unnecessary moral
battle agianst ourselves for years
because we failed to grasp the
essence of terrorism, that it's a
sneaky, unconventional form of
warfare, but nonetheless it is
war!"
Scott gave tips that reduce the
chances of Americans becoming
a terrorist victim — keep a low
profile, stay away from airports
with poor security records, don't
wear expensive clothes and
jewelry, don't stay in airports
longer than necessary, look
around for suspicious characters
and actions, and, as you travel,
look for cover where you'll be
protected if shooting breaks out.
Scott said he "fully supports"
President Reagan's air strike
atj^inst Libya in retaliation for its
support of a terrorist act in West
Germany.
"It should have been our policy
all along. We are at war and you
can't win a war that is forced on
you by rolling over and playing
dead. If we can convince the
terrorists and their sponsors that
we will be consistent in making
them pay each time they strike,
we will finally be in a position to
curb terrorism by making it high-
risk, expensive and less effective
than has been the case."

Sports Wrap Up
Smith To Coach In Japan
Dr. Barbara Smith, women's
golf coach at I^ngwood for 20
years, has been chosen to lead the
NCAA women's golf contingent
which will play in Japan
December 10-12. Dr. Smith is the
first coach of a non-Division I
team to be selected in the six
years that the NCAA has fielded a
women's team in the
competition.
Previous coaches chosen fo the
NCAA-Japan competition
were from Oklahoma State,
Tulsa, Texas Christian, Miami
and Florida.
"Naturally, I feel quite honored
but also very surprised," said Dr.
Smith, coach of Longwood's
NCAA Division II program.
"There are so many good
coaches out there I couldn't
imagine why I was selected."
Dr. Smith was recommended
for the post by the NCAA
Women's Golf Committee of
which she is a member. The
recommendation was approved
by the NCAA Council.
One of the top college coaches
in the country, Dr. Smith was
named LPGA Coach of the Year
in 1983 and NCAA Mid-Atlantic
Region Coach of the Year in 1985.
She has led Longwood to second
or third place finishes in national
tournaments in four of the past
six seasons. Seven LC golfers
have been named Ail-Americans
in that same span.
Dr. Smith will work with Page
Dunlap of Florida, Caroline
Keggi of New Mexico and Kate
Rogerson of Kentucky, the top
three undergraduate finishers in
the 1986 NCAA Women's Golf
Tournament. Wake Forest coach
Jesse Haddock will coach the six-
member men's team in the
NCAA-Japan competition.
The U.S. contingent will meet
in Los Angeles December 5 and
arrive in Tokyo December 7.
After two days of practice, the
teams will engage in three days
of match play and return to the
United States December 14.
Player of the Week
Kim Howells
Freshman goalkeeper Kim
Howells notched her sixth shutout
of the season Thursday in
Ix)ngwood's 1-0 field hockey win
over Radford. For her
performance, Howells has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
October 12-19. Player of the Week
is chosen by the I^ongwood sports
information office.
Howells had six saves in the
Radford victory, which gives
lx)ngwood a 9-5 record. Coach
Sue Finnie credited her with one
of the game's key plays when she
stopped a shot right in front of the
goal by Radford All-American
Sue Neal.
"Kim made a beautiful save on
that shot," said Finnie. "It was a
big play, but she has been making
those kind of plays for us all
season."
Howells has a fine goals
against average of 1.3 for the
season. Take away Ix)ngwood's 9-
1 loss to James Madison on astro-
turf and her goals against
average is a stingy 0.7. Her play
has been a key factor in
Longwood outscoring the
opposition 38-17 in 14 games.
A gifted athlete, Howells
played four sports at Upper

KIM HOWELLS
Moreland High School. She
participated in softball,
swimming and basketball in
addition to field hockey. Also a
standout goalkeeper in soccer,
she had several scholarship
offers in both hockey and soccer,
before deciding to attend
Longwood.
An All-Suburban performer in
hockey, she was team MVP in
softball and Upper Moreland's
Female Athlete of the Year.
Men 's Golf Concludes Season
Longwood's men's golf team
concluded its best fall season
ever last Wednesday, winning a
four-team match at Longwood
Golf Course. Led by senior Ty
Bordner, the Lancers shot 305 to
beat Radford (309), Virginia
Military (320) and Randolph-
Macon (348).
Longwood finished with a
match record of 5-1, an overall
mark of 44-13 (including
tournaments) and a best-ever
team stroke average of 317.6 for
10 rounds.
Wednesday, five Longwood
golfers shot in the 70's for the first
time ever. Bordner carded a 75 to
finish second overall, and Ron
Hatch shot 76 to end up third.
Tony Good, Mark Marshall and
Richard Hardy wound up with
77's. Kevin Hare contributed an
81.
Longwood's overall mark of 44-
13 includes matches and
tournaments. The Lancers had a
second place, two fourths and a
sixth place in four fall
tournament appearances.
The Lancers played without
one of their top golfers
Wednesday. Sophomore Kevin
Haskins was critically injured in
an auto accident October 11.
Haskins, who was rushed to Duke
University Hospital, finally
regained consciousness late last
week. He was showing marked
improvement at last report,
according to coach Steve Nelson.
Haskins had the second best
stroke average on the team for
the fall with an average of 79 for
eight rounds. His best showing
was a 77-72-149 in the Franklin &
Marshall Tournament in which
he finsihed second out of more
than 80 golfers.
Bordner edged Haskins for low
stroke honors. The senior had an
average score of 78.5 for 10
rounds. His top showing came in
the VMI and Washington & Lee
Invitational where he shot 72-78-
150 to tie for fourth place.
Hardy had an average score of
81 .3 for 10 rounds. His best was a
79-73-152 in the VMI and W&L
Tourney. Marshall averaged 81.5
for 10 rounds with a best of 78-79-
157 in the Hampton University
tournament. Hatch, a veteran,
averaged 82.5 for eight rounds
and first year golfer Tony Good
was jsut a shade behind at 82.6.
Coach Nelson feels his team
should be a definite threat for the
Virginia College Division State
Title in the spring.
"We've had an excellent fall,
but we can do better," said the
coach. "If we could develop some
consistency we might have an
outside chance of qualifying for
the Division II National
Tournament."
The men's golf season will
resume in March.
Field Hockey Celebrates 60th
To say that Saturday will be a
big day for Longwood's field
hockey program would be an
understatement. Not only will the
College be observing its 60th
Anniversary of hockey. Lady
Lancer coach Sue Finnie could
get her 100th career coaching
victory if LC can defeat LaSalle.
Longwood brings a 9-5 record
into the LaSalle game after
beating rival Radford 1-0 last
Thursday. A game at Virginia
Commonwealth Tuesday was
rained out and will be played
Monday, October 27.
The win over Radford gives
coach Finnie a career mark of
99-81-8 in 13 years. She has a
record of 20-9, counting this
season, since coming from
Widener to Longwood in 1985.
Finnie led Longwood to an 11-4
mark in her first year.
Longwood has extended a
special invitation to all alumni
who played hockey to come back
and play in an alumni game at
11:30 Saturday, after the LC-
LaSalle contest. A reception will
be held at 1:00 in honor of the
60th Anniversary celebration.
The current Lady Lancer
edition notched its seventh
shutout of the season in the win
over Radford Thursday.
Freshman l^ura Goetz scored
late in the second half on an assist
from Diane Bingler to provide the
margin of victory.
Coach Finnie awarded
defensive player of the game
honors to goalkeeper Kim
Howells. Offensive honors went
to forward Traci Strickland.

Conkwright now has 221
interceptions-tackles this year.
Soccer- Making A Comeback
Longwood's soccer team won
its only game last week, beating
Virginia Wesley an 2-1, and will
take an 8-3-1 mark into home
games with Virginia Miliatary
Wednesday at 3 : 00 and District of
Columbia Saturday at 2:00.
Ranked 13th in NCAA Division
II last week, the Lancers are
simply glad to be back at home
after an extended six-game road
swing. Longwood went 3-3 on the
road stretch, playing at three
homecomings and traveling over
2,000 miles. "It will be great just
to play a game on our field," said
coach Rich Posipanko.
Longwood has not had a home
game since September 21 when
the Lancers beat Greensboro
College 5-0 to win the Southside
Virginia Soccer Tournament.
Saturday at Virginia Wesleyan,
Mike Edge scored in the first half
on an assist from Jim DiModica
to give the l^ancers a 1-1 tie at the
half. Soph Kenny Lim scored the
game winner five minutes into
the second half.
Junior Dave Goerke came up
with nine saves from his
goalkeeper position.
"Goerke played well, though he
made a couple of nnistakes," said
Posipanko. The coach also
praised Lim and senior Mark
Kremen for their play in the
contest.
The victory gives Longwood e
2-0 VISA Eastern Division recorc
with division games stil
remaining against Christopher
Newport, Averett, and Randolph
Macon. If the Lancers finish firs'
or second in the division, they viil.
qualify for the VISA State
Playoffs in November.

Number Six
Artists Of The
Month Announced
Deborah McClintock, of
Hampden-Sydney, has been
chosen Artist of the Month at
Longwood College.
Her winning work was a
drawing titled "My Garden,"
which was done with a flair pen.
She received a $50 cash award,
and her work is on display in the
Bedford Building at Longwood.
Mrs. McClintock, a part-time
student, is attending her first
semester at Longwood. In fact,
this is the first time she has gone
to school since graduating from
Mary Washington College in 1968.
"I've been raising kids since
then," said Mrs. McClintock, the
mother of four children. She has
lived in the Farmville area since
1975.
Second place in the Artist of the
Month competition went to Kelley
Coggsdale, of Suffolk, for her
mixed media work, "The Silver
Screen." The third-place finisher
was Susan Hilton, of Richmond,
for her pencil drawing, "The
Illusion of Dream."
The Artist of the Month
competition is open to all
students enrolled in art classes at
Longwood. The winner is selected
by the art faculty.

More than 800 students from
area high schools and other
schools from as far away as the
Richmond area attended a
special matinee of Ah!
WOdemess at Longwood College
recently.
The Oct. 10 performance in
Jarman Auditorium was
attended by students from Prince
Edward Ck)unty Elementary and
Prince Edward High School,
Prince Edward Academy,
Amelia County High School,
Appomattox Ck)unty High School,
Varina High School in Henrico
County, Fluvanna High School,
and Mecklenburg Academy.

also attended. Some 816 students
and others were in attendance.
The Longwood Players'
production of Ah! WQdemess,
Eugene O'Neill's only comedy,
played Oct. 8-12. It was directed
by Dr. Doug Young, professor of
speech and theatre.
Longwood has provided
matinee performances of several
of its plays for area high school
students.
Business Innovation Center
By MADONNA ORTON
Longwood College is
announcing the Open House of its
newly created Business
Innovation Center on Tuesday,
October 28, 1986. Two very
distinguished visiting guest
speakers for today's ceremony
are Governor Gerald L. Baliles
and state senator Howard P.
Anderson. The Longwood
Business Innovation Center,
located across from the
Chmningham dorms in the Hiner
Building, is a unit of the School of
Business and Economics
reporting to the Dean.
The basic purpose of the Center
is to strengthen the region's
business and industrial
competitiveness in domestic and
international markets. It will
serve as a resource and
educational outreach unit in
support of programs which
inspire economic development,
entrepeneurship, and human
resource development.
Why would students want to get
involved in this? "To paraphrase
something Jack Jacques (Dean
of the School of Business and
Economics) once said," stated
Barrett Baker, Management
Intern for the Innovation Center.
"Southside Virginia is our home
and if we don't take care of it,
who will? And even though I'm
from Northern Virginia I don't
view the state in two separate
parts, so whatever I do here
effects all of Virginia. If we can
make a difference here, maybe
we can make a difference on a
larger scale — possibly even on
an international level."
Longwood business students will
especially benefit from the
services that LBIC has to offer.
The Center's director, Dr. Larry
C. Minks, is very excited about
the new program and says that
his key interest in the center is to
create a way for the college to
connect higher education with
economic development.
So far, there are six students
working under Larry Minks as
interns: Laura Cason, Barrett
(Mick) Baker, Matt Church,
Lynn Harmon, Kelley Noe, and
Deborah Amos. However, the
center hopes to expand its
number, of interns as things get
busier.
Page 2 THE ROTUNDA
MY PAGE Gone- But Not Forgotten
In what may have been the first of its kind in Longwood history,
Lancer Gym was invaded last Saturday night to spark some sun-
shine in what turned out to be a dreary Octoberfest weekend. That
invasion, of course, was the Bangles, and with the help of Paul
Striffolino and the rest of the Student Union, the Rotunda got a
chance to get back stage and talk with them for a while. And this is
how it went:
ROTUNDA: Let me ask the inevitable first so I can satisfy my
curiosity. Why in the world did you agree to come to Longwood?
BANGLES: Why not? (Laughing) I just had to say what you
were expecting. (Serious) I don't know — it seems to me that places
like this have the best crowds you could find anywhere. We seem to
have our best luck in places where the people don't get exposed to
big bands much and seem to be starving for something to come their
way. When it finally happens, the fans really go out of their way to
support it.
ROTUNDA: The students were warned before going in to the
show that there would be no drinking, no smoking and no dancing.
Did that present any problems for you personally?
BANGLES : No dancing! ! Why not?
ROTUNDA: I think it had something to do with messing up the
gym floor.
BANGLES: Actually, one of our road people came up to me in
the middle of the set and said, "I know you really don't want to do
this, but the police want you to ask the crowd to sit back down' and I
just said, "right." There is no way I'm going to say anything like
that to a crowd that's having a good time — there's no way.
ROTUNDA: Have you ever had any problems with rowdy
crowds?
BANGLES: We've had a few shows in Europe that have gotten
out of control and there have actually been moments when we've
been frightened, security-wise. In fact, at one show the crowd rolled
into one of the lighting trees and it came crashing down on the stage
— killer trees, if you will (laughing). But for the most part, it really
hasn't been a problem.
ROTUNDA: Let me ask you this then. Would you ever come
back?
BANGLES: Oh yes! Definitely!
ROTUNDA : Great — then we'll expect you this time next year.

BANGLES: We'll be there. We are trying to finish this leg of the
tour first and then we'll take some time off. Actually, this is the fifth
leg of the tour — we had two tours in Europe and one small Japanese
tour — but yeah, we'd come back.
ROTUNDA: It seems that your career has pretty much
blossomed over night. Is there any truth to that?
BANGLES: No, not really. Before the first album came out, we
had released an E.P. During the year and a half between the release
of the E. P. and the album we did some song writing, etc. I think
success has been a respectable long time in coming.
ROTUNDA: Do you feel that being an all female band has
presented any extra barriers to that success?
BANGLES: We have experienced working with certain people
that have given us some problems, but we've never had to fire
anyone over it — we just don't work with them again. For the most
part I think people can accept us as a band, or at least they are
learning to, and that's really all we're asking. I think that society is
becoming open-minded enough so that it really isn't a problem.
ROTUNDA : Is that the official story?
BANGLES: (Laughing) Actually, we have this joke about how
we do a press conference and tell the press exactly what they want to
hear . . . well, we formed the band because we thought it was a good
gimmick. We figured, "hey, we'll get four chicks together — yeah,
yeah that's it. That'll get *em to come see us . . ." No, we're just
kidding. Actually we really got together because we wanted to be the
next Go Go's. (Rolling their eyes in unison.) Heaven help us !
ROTUNDA: Actually I have to admit that I was surprised by
some of your music. I didn't think you reall> got into as much of the
rock oriented stuff.
BANGLES: Right. A lot of people are surprised at that, and
that's one thing that we eventually need to put down on an album.
There are so many people who have heard of us now that have heard
"If She Knew What She Wants", "Walk Like an Egyptian" and
"Manic Monday" — and that's their knowledge of the Bangles. And
that's only one facet. It is true that we do a lot of songs with that
sweet kind of vocalizing and whatnot, but we also like to make a lot
of noise, too!
ROTUNDA: Moving away from that quickly, how did you all
ever get together?
BANGLES: I don't know. (Laughing) It was such a long time
ago.
ROTUNDA: How long?
BANGLES: I guess about five years now — almost six. We
basically formed because Debbie and I are sisters and that helped.
We played together some in high school and eventually put an ad in
the newspaper for a base player and a lead singer. That's about the
extent of it.
ROTUNDA: How did you come up with the Bangles for a name?
BANGLES : We were originally the Bangs . . . (laughing) but
that was kinda nasty and one syllable names are just not com-
mercial enough, so we sold out and added another syllable. I think it
sounds better like that anyway.
ROTUNDA: How well do you get along when you're on tour?
BANGLES: Considering that we have been pretty much forced
to be together since January or February, we really don't have
much choice. Like the kids from the same family — we've learned
how to make each other laugh. And that's really the best kind of
remedy for any kind of problem.
ROTUNDA : So what's next?
BANGLES: After we finish this tour, we're going home to L.A.
to try and reacquaint ourselves with boyfriends, family, etc. We
need to take some time off to write some songs for the next album
that we'll start working on in late January.
ROTUNDA : So you do write most of your own music?
BANGLES: Oh, yes!

Scholarship For
Education
THE ROTUNDA Page 3
The Longwood College
Foundation has announced
establishment of the Louise
Brightwell Watson Memorial
Scholarship by W. A. Watson, Jr.,
of I< armville.
Interest from the scholarship
endowment of $25,000 will fund
annual scholarships to students
enrolled in Longwood's Teacher
Education Honors College.
Recipients will be chosen on the
basis of financial need and
academic merit. The amount of
the scholarships may vary
according to the recipient's need.
One to five scholarships will be
awarded each year.
Preference will be given to
student applicants from Prince
Edward, Buckingham,
Cumberland, Nottoway, and
Charlotte Counties.
Each scholarship recipient will
be identified as a Louise
Brightwell Watson Teacher
Education Honors College
Scholar.
President Janet Greenwood
said that Longwood "is deeply
grateful to Mr. Watson for his
most generous gift. This
scholarship will be a lasting
memorial to Mrs. Watson, who
was a member of the class of
1920, and will help many
deserving students achieve their
goals."
Mrs. Watson, a native of
Prospect, taught in Hot Springs
and in Prince Edward County
before her marriage to W. A.
Watson, Jr. in 1924. The couple
had two sons — W. A. Watson, III
and James M. Watson, both of
Farmville — seven
grandchildren, and four great-
grandchildren.
She was an active member of
Farmville Methodist Church,
particularly the missions circles,
and a member of the DAR. With
her husband, she helped organize
the Farmville, Pamplin, and
Cartersville chapters of the
A.A.R.P.
W. A. Watson, Jr. has been a
business and civic leader in
Farmville for more than 50
years. He opened his insurance
agency here in 1926. He helped to
organize the Farmville Area
Development Corporation.
He has been a Mason and a
member of the Lions Club and the
International Order of
Oddfellows for 50-plus years.
. A lifetime member of the
Prince Edward County
Democratic Committee and the
only lifetime member of the 5th
District Democratic Conmiittee,
Watson attended two National
Democratic Conventions as a
delegate from Virginia.
He is one of two life deacons of
Farmville Baptist Church. His
activities there during more than
50 years of membership included
serving as Sunday school
superintendent and teacher,
church treasurer, church trustee,
and chairman of the deacon
board.
Longwood Senior
Awarded SBEA
Scholarship
Paula Wood Hauenstein, a
Longwood College senior from
Bracey, has received a $500
scholarship from the Southern
Business Education Association.
The award is one of five
scholarships SBEA gives each
year to outstanding business
education students from the
many states in the southern
region.
Mrs. Hauenstein has a near-
perfect academic record (3.95
grade point average from a
possible 4.0). She achieved this
record while nudntalning a home
for her husband and two teenage
children and driving a round trip
of 160 miles each day to attend
classes at Longwood.
She will complete
requirements for the B.S. degree
in business education in
December. She plans to teach
business subjects, particularly
accounting and data processing,
on the high school level.
Her student-teaching
practicum was completed last
spring. She taught for 10 weeks at
Afghanistan: Not A
Soviet Vietnam
By MATT PETERMAN
The world today looks at
Afghanistan with little more than
indifference. Many people are
quick to falsely point out that
Afghanistan is what the Vietnam
war was to the United States. If
this were true such indifference
could be justified and the Soviets
after great expense would realize
that something is not working
and discontinue the war.
For the Soviet Union,
continuing the war with what is
left of the Afghan resistance, the
Mujahideen, it makes great geo-
political sense to stay. The
Soviets have immense
possibilities of improving their
strategic position in a part of the
world which is far from stable. A
close inspection of the situation
should tell the West that support
of governments fighting the
Soviets there should be stepped
up.
First of all, the Soviet
occupation of Afghanistan puts
them about 300 miles away from
a warm weather port in the
Indian Ocean, which would leave
them in position to disturb the
Persian Gulf oil shipping routes
at their will. The mere 300 mile
buffer zone to the Indian Ocean is
in a part of Pakistan that could
try to secede from that country in
the near future. A secession
would bring into existence a
country that would be called
Baluchistan and strangely
enough it is the Soviet Union
aiding the secessionist
movement in every way.
Unfortunately for the West, the
present leader in Pakistan
reminds them of Ferdinand
Marcos and his type. He is Gen.
Zia Ul-Hag and too much support
to him makes the West nervous.
This factor alone could not be
good, for when a secessionist
challenge is waged, his ability to
quell it would be limited, Uius
giving the Soviet Union the gift of
Baluchistan and all of the strings
attached.
Second of all, the Soviets
cannot retreat from Afghanistan
even if they wanted to. Besides
being a blow to their near and
Middle East agenda, a victorious
mujahideen would quickly find
abundant aid from the United
States, China, and many other
nations with a stake. The Soviets
could not tolerate a government
hostile to theirs in Afghanistan, a
primary reason for their invasion
in 1979. The Soviets cannot even
offer the Mujahideen a part in the
puppet government for such a
move would stir the already
suppressed Soviet Moslem
population.
Finally, if one must look for an
accurate comparison to the
Afghan-Soviet conflict, he must
only look back 50 years to the
Spanish Civil War. Spain in 1936
was Hitler's testing ground for
future wars, as new weapon
developments were viciously
used against the Spanish people.
This is what the Soviets are doing
in Afghanistan with new
developments in chemical
weapons and the devising of new
tactics for their war machinery.
Are the Soviets preparing to use
these new tactics for a non-
nuclear invasion of Western
Nottoway Senior High School,
under Mrs. Juanita Yates.
"I had wanted to go to college
for a long time," Mrs. Hauenstein
said, "but there were family
factors that prevented me from
doing so."
When her children were old
enough that she "could feel
comfortable leaving them" and
her husband's business was
established, she began taking
classes at Southside Vu-ginia
Community College at Alberta.
In January of 1984, she became
a full-time student at Longwood,
transferring some credits from
SVCC.
Single-minded dedication to
her goal has kept Mrs.
Hauenstein going. "This is where
my heart is now," she said. "I've
cut out many other things until
my education is finished."
But the most important factor
in her success is "the support and
cooperation of my family," Mrs.
Hauenstein said. "When I
graduate I should give them a
gift."

Bangles
ROTUNDA: I've always wondered how a person can spend ten
months on the road, bouncing from town to town, and still be able to
get up on stage and perform when the time comes. What do you do
that keeps you in such good physical condition?
BANGLES: Just performing itself — that's a lot of it. However,
we have also been great supporters of Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda is
our guru — she rules our lives.
ROTUNDA: When do you ever have time for scheduled exer-
cise?
BANLGES: Somewhere between the midsts of things — before
breakfast, after lunch, whatever — usually in the hotel room. We
always try and make the time.
ROTUNDA: I understand that you are putting together a new
segment for MTV. When can we expect to see that?
BANGLES: We will be taping it at the end of this month. It's
going to be an hour long concert, but I'm not really sure when it will
air. In fact, they did the audio taping right here at Longwood so they
could get the timing down for various segments, etc. but the video
portion will be shot in Pittsburg.
ROTUNDA: Do you make it a practice to tape shows and
critique them later?
BANGLES : (Laughing) We try not to, no. . .
"A concert like this is something that Longwood really needed,"
stated Longwood Alumni Sherry Massey shortly after the show.
"The school has been doing a good job of building up their image as
far as academics goes, but an event like this is something the
students really needed — a boost in their morale."
"I'll agree with that," added another Alumni, Mark Mitterer.
"This is the most school spirit that I have ever seen at this school. I
hope they plan to continue on in this tradition."
Special thanks, again, go to Paul Striffolino and all the members
of S-UN who made this concert run smoothly, and especially to Jay
Fitzhugh who had the vision to make the whole thing possible.
Hopefully this is the start and not the finish of a great new tradition
for Longwood.

SPECIAL NOTES
Registration Appointments: Registration
appointments will be assigned for all students who are
continuing undergraduates. Registration forms will be
distriButed through academic advisors. Students who
change majors after the forms are printed will need to
pick up their forms from the former advisor before
going to the new advisor.
Delinquent Accounts: All librarv fines, parking
fines, unpaid damage deposits, or other delinquent
student accounts must be cleared before the student can
preregister. This includes degree applications for those
students who have accumulated 90 or more credits,
including transfer credits.
Academic Probation-Suspension: This policy
provides for automatic (immediate) suspension for
those students whose cumulative averages (at the end
of any grading period) fall below certain required
averages, which increase according to tiie total number
of hours attempted (including transfer work). The
complete table of required averages may be found on
pa^es 32-33 of die 1986-87 Longwood College
Catalog (available in the Admissions Office).
PREREGISTRATION PROCEDURES
1. No student should cut classes to preregister.
The Registrar's Office will honor a student's
registration appointment at any time during
preregistration hours (on or after the printed
appointment time) through the end of the
preregistration period.
2. To be permitted to preregister, each student
must bring the following documents to the Registrar's
Office: (a) a pre-printed registration form signed by
the academic advisor and showing sufficient alternate
courses to allow the student to obtain a complete
schedule; (b) a form giving permission to enroll in a
closed course, signed by Uie advisor and appropriate
department head, if applicable; (c) receipts showing
payment of any charges for which registration stop
codes have been imposed.
3. The advising process is an integral part of
preregistration. Be sure to allow sufficient time to
meet witii your academic advisor and discuss your
degree requirements, as well as any academic
difficulties you might be having. If you are in
academic difficulty, remember that the fastest way to
improve your GPA is by repeating courses in which
you need to pull up your grades; think of C as the
break-even or equilibrium point. For every grade you
have that is below C, you need a comparable one
above C to balance it That is, for every D, you need a
B in a course of the same or higher credit value; for
every F, you need an A or two B's in courses of the
same or higher credit value.
4. Each student is expected to complete the
preregistration process in one U'ansaction. Come
prepared by planning alternative courses ahead of time.
Daily Space Available supplements will be printed,
and a terminal will be available in the Rotunda area.
Use these to determine what courses or sections are
likely to be closed, and make your plans accordingly.
Students who must return for additional processing
(overrides, additional courses, alternatives, etc.) may do
so only on Fridays.
5. Preregistration hours are limited to 1 p.m.
until 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 1 p.m.
until 5 p.m., Friday, for the preregistration period.
This is necessary so that the office staff can continue
routine office work and prepare enrollment reports to
facilitate the process.
6. Alphabetical master lists of registration
appointment times will be posted in convenient
locations across campus. Be sure to check one of th^e
to fmd your appointment time.
7. Undergraduate students who fail to preregister
during the preregistration period must register on
Monday, January 12, 1987, in die Lower Dining Hall.
Schedule changes may not be made until drop-add
begins on Tuesday, January 13, 1987.
Please do not hesitate to come to us if you
I have questions or problems.

CAMPUS NOTES
Renaissance
Dinner
financial aids should send a
stamped, self-addressed
business-sized envelope to The
Scholarship Bank, 4626 N. Grand,
Covina, CA. 91724.
The 1986 Renaissance
Christmas Dinner at Longwood
College will be held on Saturday
and Sunday, December 6 and 7.
A tradition at Longwood for 11
years, the Renaissance Dinner
offers singing, dancing, and
feasting (prime rib of beef)
patterned after Advent Season
celebration in Tudor England.
The entertainers are members
of Longwood's Camerata
Singers, under the direction of
Dr. Louard Egbert who portrays
the "Lord of Misrule."
The evening begins at 6 : 30 with
an opening ceremony in
Longwood's Rotunda, followed by
the dinner and entertainment in
the Blackwell Dining Hall.
Reservations for the
Renaissance Dinner are now
being accepted by Longwood's
PubUc Affairs Office, located on
the second floor of East Ruffner.
The cost of the dinner is $17.95 per
person.
For more information, call 392-
9371.
Need
Aid?
College students in need of
financial aid for this academic
year were urged to investigaste
private foundation sources by
Steve Danz, Director of The
Scholarship Band.
According to the
director, there are over 500
million In private financial aid
sources that oft-times go unused.
This imbalance is due to the fact
that college students until now
have not had a reliable method of
finding out about the numerous
private aid sources. The
Scholarship Bank has
computerized this information
and will send each applicant a
personalized print-out of private
aid sources that appear just right
for each applicant.
College students can find funds
based on major, occupational
goals, geographic preferences
and approximately 30 other
criteria. Financial need is not
stressed as heavily in private aid
as in government funding.
Numerous new grants exist this
year for business, liberal arts,
health care, law, and humanities.
Students are also urged to
investigate well-paying
corporate internships as part of
their over-all financial package.
Students interested in
supplementing their current

A Ring?
The U.S. Post Office in

Raquetball^
Anyone?
By LISA WEAVER
In September of last year, the
architectural and engineering
firm was selected to begin
blueprints for the reconstruction
of French gym for raquetball
courts. The final design will be
approved by the state next
month. Construction, however,
will not begin until April. The
reason for this delay is because
the state must approve every
step Longwood makes in i^
plans for the courts. But
nevertheless, the courts should
be available for use August 15,
1987.
The total cost of the four
raquetball courts is $428,477. This
money was taken from a reserve
fund that is built up every year
from a portion of student's
comprehensive fees and room
and board.
There is not a direct fee to the
students. However, Mr. Rick
Hurley says that he feels that
raquets and balls will be
available for use by the students,
at no extra cost.
The equipment will probably
have to be signed in and out like
basketballs, baseball bats and
gloves, etc. But at this point,
equipment is pretty much ahead
of the game since the courts are
not open yet.
There will be four separate
courts enclosed with glass. There
will be two viewing areas, one on
the upper level of the gym and
one on the lower. There will be no
handicapped access to the upper
level, but the lower level will be
so that handicapped students
may also engage in viewing this
sport. In addition to the courts
and viewing areas, the locker
rooms in French gym are being
renovated, and they are
scheduled to be finished by
January of 1987.

Dizzy
Jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie
and his band will apear in
concert on Saturday, November
1, at 8 p.m. in Longwood College's
Jarman Auditorium.
A musical legend for almost
half a century, Gillespie's unique
trumpet style helped define
modem jazz.
He earned his nickname years
ago for his "effervescent hijinks"
on stage and off. But his fame is
based on his love of music and his
ability to create "jazz that
cooks."
The jazz concert is the second
program in this year's Series of
the Performing Arts at
Longwood.
General admission to the
concert is $7.00. For senior
citizens (over 62), young people
up to 18, and Longwood
employees and their families, the
ticket price is $6.50. Longwood
students will be admitted free
with college I.D.
Tickets will be available at the
box office in Jarman lobby prior
to the performance.
Henry IV
The Longwood Players and The
Speech and Theatre Program oi
the Department of Visual and
Performing Arts will be
presenting their second
production of the year, Luigi
Pirandello's Henry IV, from
November 19 through November
22. Performances will begin at 8
p.m.
Pirandello, one of the most
significant playwrights of the
twentieth-century, tells the tale
of a madman, a man who has
strayed from reality and believes
he is the German King, Henry IV.
Friends and foes of this "alleged
Henry IV" Masquerade as
counsellors, monks, queens, and
guards to fulfill his fantasy. The
consequences of this "charade"
are sometimes amusing,
sometimes tragic.
The mystical Henry IV Is
played by Walter Alford.
Opposite him is the marchioness
Matilda Spina, played by Laura
Boyett. Her daughter, Frida, is
played by Sandra Clayton.
Frlda's fiance', Carlo Di Nolli is
played by Doug Shamblen. Tito
Belcredi, the present lover of the
marchioness is played by Ed
Phaup. The pompous doctor is
idayeid by Glen Gilmer. The four
make-believe privy counsellors
are played by Scott Koenigsburg,
Dale Clark, John Boatwrlght, and
David Miller. A manservant is
played by Glenn Banton, and a
guard is played by James West.
The drama is being directed by
Dr. Patton Lockwood.
ROTC:
Staying Active
Honor System
Discussed
An Honor Code forum was held
at 3 p.m. in the Gold Room last
Friday. There were about thirty
people attending. Janet
Greenwood and the Honor Board
led a panel. Many were students,
faculty and administrators who
had attended the Honors
Conference in Richmond. There
were others there from all
aspects of Longwood's life who
came to express their views and
share input.
Many issues about the honor
system were discussed in the
forum. This included the apathy,
enforcement, sanctions, and
effectiveness dealing with the
Honor Code. One of the issues
discussed was the need for an
investigative committee to
investigate the validity of the
cases. Currently, the only
member with prior knowledge of
the case is Mike Qemments,
Honor Board chairman. He has
no vote in any of the cases. There
is some hope for this
investigative commitee. This
conunitee would consist of four
people and the Honor Board
chairman. It has taken a while to
devise it because of Longwood's
apathy. Because of the
conference, the apathy has
alleviated some. The committee
would meet at least once a week,
be responsible for confidentiality,
investigate cases and there is an
obligation of 2-3 hours per week.
Elections will be held at the end
of November for the two unfilled
positions on the Board. The
Honor Board meets one night a
week to discuss cases. A student
needs a 2.0 GPA and at least be a
sophomore to be eligible. There is
a harsher attendance policy for
members. A member cannot
miss more than 25 percent of the
meetings. If a member is
negligent three times unexcused,
a letter is put in his or her folder
that says that he or she is not in
good standing.
One of the most pertinent
questions asked was about the
validity of the reporting of cases.
Jeff Martin, a member of the
Board replied, "I deal with facts,
not with rumors." The next
forum will be held on the testing
of drugs when a person applies
for a job. Many companies do this
without a person's prior
knowledge. The Rotunda
encourages students to
participate in elections, running
and voting, and to also
participate in forums. This is
your chance to voice your
opinions.

OCPP
The ROTC Program has been
keeping busy lately with projects
such as their canoe trip on Sept.
24 and repelling ("descent off a
vertical surface through the use
of ropes") exercises on Oct. 10.
Oktoberfest displays went way
beyond a booth. They included
helicopter flights. National
Guard display, riggers
(parachute) display, colorguard,
and repelling exercises off
Bedford.
Some future happenings with
the program are Field Land
Exercises (FLX) on Oct. 31 and
Nov 1, which include land
navigation, M16 assembly and
reassembly, movement
techniques, and physical training
( P. T.), and an information table
in the New Smoker on Nov. 4 and
5. ROTC will also be hosting a
party with Delta Sigma Phi
Fraternity on Nov. 7 in the ABC
Room in Lankford.
What are some of the
advantages students enjoy as a
result of being a part of ROTC?
ROTC members are challenged
by the program, enjoy simply
being involved with something
constructive, and have an
opportunity to enhance their
leadership skills and patriotism.
ROTC opens doors to scholarship
money during college, and to a
good paying job with the military
after college.
There is no service obligation
attached to taking an ROTC
class. For more information

Europe or any unfavorable
bordering countries? The answer
remains to be seen, but Hitler
did.
At the present level of
indifference over the outrages
conunitted to Afghanistan by the
Soviet Union, it remains to be
seen what future conquests the
Soviets will attempt. Afghanistan
should not be viewed as an
isolated case, but as a warning
against the abilities of the Soviet
conventional forces. The Soviets
are in Afghanistan for as long as
it takes to completely control it,
be it this year, or 10 years and
must not be viewed as a Soviet
Vietnam. Such references draw
false conclusions and discount
the seriousness of the Soviet
invasion into a region that is
about as stable as bullets in a

To The Editor
By WES SMITH
Chicago Tribune
The strains of "Pomp and
Circumstance" will soon fade
away. The rental company will
quickly repossess your cap and
gown. And your graduation gift
money will hardly cover the
security deposit on a studio
apartment beside the elevated
tracks.
Congratulations, graduates.
Welcome to the Real World, you
poor lost souls.
There ain't no spring break in
the Real World friends.
Christmas vacation starts the
night of Dec. 24 and ends shortly
after the wrapping paper comes
off. You may get a week of relief
each year from the Real World, if
you are lucky.
It is a painful course that you
are about to take; the lessons
come unannounced. Your next
final is Final.
To aid you upon your entry into
the Real World, a few of those
who have gone before you have
compiled some sage advice. Heed
the following words well. Paste
them to your refrigerator, or
your forehead. Write them on
your wrists. They will do you
much more good than all those
French adverbs.
And take some consolation in
this: The Spanish- American War
hardly ever comes up in Real
World conversations.
In the real world:
— Insurance premiums do not
work like stock premiums. You
pay them. They don't pay you.
— They aren't kidding when
they say, "Wash whites
separately."
— The rate of interest is what
kills you, not the down payment.
— Never answer an
advertisement seeking a "liberal
roommate." You probably are
not that liberal.
— Having a drink with the boys
every night after work is a bad
idea. Notice that the boss doesn't
do it. That's why (s) he's the boss
and they are the boys.
— Nobody cares anymore that
you drank a six-pack last night
without throwing up.
— Your new neighbors are not
likely to share your enthusiasm
for the Violent Femmes at full
volume at 1 a.m.
— Cars need not only gasoline,
but oil, antifreeze, brake and
transmission fluid and about one-
third of your annual wage.
—Instead of buying a new
stereo for your city car, skip a
step. Buy a window sticker that
says, "It's already stolen."
—Parallel parking is a survival
sport.
— Never play racquetball with
an old guy who has played
handball for 40 years. He will
destroy your youth.
—Buy an alarm clock that
works.
— Grocery coupons are not
socially unacceptable.
— Harvey wallbangers might
be a poor selection for a business
lunch.
— Never date a woman whose
father calls her "Princess." -
Chances are, she believes it.
— Never date a man who still
goes shopping with his mother.
— "Heat included" does not
mean "Heat guaranteed."
Life insurance is for married
men; otherwise, your chief
beneficiary is the life insurance
company.
— Toothpaste will cover up
holes in plaster, but only small
holes.
— Eat good meals. Greasy
burgers take their toll.
— Buy good stuff. It lasts
longer.
— If you don't like your job,
quit. Otherwise, shut up.
— Soon people your own age
will be having children and
buying garbage disposals. Learn
to fake an interest in both.
— If you get invited to the
wedding, send a gift. Otherwise,
don't expect a crowd when your
turn comes.
— There is no such thing as a
self -cleaning oven,
— Be nice to the little people.
You are still one of them.
— Your feet will continue to
grow. Be willing to go up a shoe
size.
— Shower curtains are
replaceable.
— You are going to need
silverware.
— Never assume that the
telephone company is working in
your best interest.
— Never date someone you
work with. Especially the boss.

To the Editor:
Like most other students on
this campus, one day I want to
get married and have children.
But now, I wonder. 1 went home
for Fall Break, and, of course, the
first thing that I do is turn on the
news. You know, to catch up on
Richmond. I get so far behind in
the booming metropolis of
Farmville. Well, Richmond is up
to its 65th homicide. I think we
are third somewhere behind New
York and Chicago. I wasn't too
stunned at the murder of this
nineteen-year-old. Yes, I have
taken an apathetic attitude
toward the slayings. 1 guess I will
until it is somebody I know.
The next news item was about a
Petersburg pastor who had been
brought up on sex charges. This
is what shocked me. Clyde
Johnson, 51, is a city councilman
and the pastor of two Baptist
churches. He had been indicted
on 39 felony moral charges.
Twenty^iine were for aggravated
sexual battery by use of force,
threat, or intimidation, four
counts of statuatory rape, four
counts of having sexual
intercourse with a fourteen-year-
old girl, one count of forcible
rape, and one count of attempted
rape.
This man is definitely sick.
Who can you trust your children
with if you can't trust them with
the pastor of your own church.
This person is suppose to
represent God, goodness and
morality. Hopefully, when I have
children, there will be more
background research into
individuals such as teachers,
clergymen, policemen, etc. I
don't know, last week a
Richmond pastor was accused of
sodomizing an eleven-year-old
girl.

Sports Wrap Up
Field
Hockey
By Kirk Barnes
After dropping a tough 2-1
decision to visiting La Salle
Saturday morning, Longwood's
field hockey team will be on the
road for its final two regular
season games this week. The
Lady Lancers will be facing VCU
Monday at 3:30 and Mary
Washington Wednesday at 3:00.
Saturday's loss, which came in
overtime, dropped the Longwood
record to 9-6. The defeat was a
disappointing one for the team
and the coach, denying coach Sue
Finnic a chance to pick up her
100th career win at home.
Liz Annet and Carla Voorhees
were named the offensive players
of the game while Margie Kemen
captured the defensive honors.
La Salle's Ann Richards scored
the first goal of the game at the
12:50 mark of the second half. Liz
Annet, on an assist from Laura
Goeiz, tied the game at the 15:40
mark. After a scoreless first
overtime La Salle scored the
winning goal on a long shot with
only 28 seconds left in the second
overtime.
"The ball took a bad bounce
on the winning goal," explained
Finnic.
The game was close in all
phases. La Salle out-shot
Longwood 26-22 and had 12 saves
to LC's 10. "We played weU. It
was one of our better games. We
knew it would be close," the
Longwood mentor stated.
The game had rivalry
potential. La Salle's coach.
Donna Partin, used to be an
assistant to coach Finnic at
Widener University. Finnic was
happy with the team's effort.
Luther
Inducted
basketball Racers to the NCAA
Tournament, and three of his
teams were ranked in the top
twenty.
In his 16 seasons as MSU head
basketball coach, Luther piled
up 241 wins, the second highest
total in Murray history. He
guided his teams to one outright
Ohio Valley Conference title and
shared two others. His squads
also finished as the league
runner-up or champion seven of
10 seasons, 1964 to 1974.
He receivced OVC Coach of the
year honors in 1964, 1969 and 1971,
which were the seasons Murray
advanced to the NCAA playoffs.
During his coaching tenure, 17 of
his players earned All-Qhio-
Valley Conference honors a total
of 28 times. Three players
received OVC Player of the year
honors four times.
Luther's popularity with
Murray State fans was enhanced
by a 27-game winning streak in
Racer Arena, from November 27,
1968 to February 21, 1970. That
success string, which still stands,
helped establish Racer Arena as
one of the toughest home courts
in the OVC. Luther's 808 home-
court winning percentage is
second only to the undefeated
one-year record of current Racer
head coach Steve Newton.
Thanks to his shrewd eye for
talent and his ability to teach the
game of basketball, three of
Luther's recruits advanced to a
career in professional basketball.
Among them was Dick
Cunningham, who also is a
member of the 1986 Hall of Fame
induction class.
Accepting the additional
responsibilities of MSU athletic
director in 1967, Luther helped
keep the Racers strong in the
OVC, winning the coveted All-
Sports Trophy in 1973 and
finishing in the top three in All-
Sports competition in eight of
Luther's 11 years as athletic
director. During that span, MSU
claimed nine conference
championships in various sports.
Luther became Longwood
coach in 1961 and has led the
Lancers to four winning seasons
in five years. His teams have
finished second in the Mason-
Dixon Conference regular season
race two of the past three years.
Longwood basketball coach
Cal Luther was one of five people
inducted into the Murray State
University Athletic Hall of Fame
Thursday night at the college's
Hall of Fame Banquet.
Luther, who has compiled a
7^€0 mark at Longwood in five
seasons, was the coach who built
the foundation upon which
Murray State's modern'day
basketball tradition rests. He is
the only coach to have led the
Cindy Smith Tournament
October 11. Longwood improved
its record to 11-17.
The next match will be
Thursday night when the Lady
Lancers host Mary Washington
and Liberty. The first match will
begin at 6:00.
Longwood dropped three
straight in a best three out of five
by a 15-10, 154, 15-8 count to
Bridgewater I. Although Long-
wood served at an 87 percent
clip it lacked consistency in other
aspects of the game.
One spiker who proved to be
very consistent was Kris Meyer.
On the night, she accumulated
eight stuff blocks and six stuff
assist blocks. Meyer hit at a 70
percent kill-to-hit ratio and as
coach Linda Elliott stated "held
the offense together." Joanna
Marquez chipped in with a pair of
ace serves.
In the second match Longwood
was pitted against a second
Bridgewater squad which placed
third in the Cindy Smith Tourney.
Bridgewater took Longwood the
distance but feU 15-9, 11-15, 15-13.
Elliott said it felt good to win
because Longwood lost to the
same team in the tournament.
The Lady Lancers showed some
character in a come-from-behind
match clinching third game.
Those showing off their talents
were Linda Swe who replaced the
injured Staci Dillon and
Stephanie Coukos. Swe did a
fantastic job setting. Over the
course of the year Elliott feels
she has improved tremendously.
Coukos again hit at a consistent
pace as she has done all year
long.

1022.
Playing for Longwood were:
Tina BarreU 80-75-81-236, Marcia
Melone 78-82-77-237, Gretchen
Pugh 79^3-82-244, Ashley Warren
85-84-78-247 and Leigh Russell 86-
82-87-255.
In winding up its most
successful fall ever, Longwood
grabbed two tournament titles
and a third place finish. Coach
Barbara Smith's squad had a
record 33-14 based on four
tournament appearances.
The Lady Lancers' highest
team round of the fall was a 326 in
the Duke Invitational.
Top individual scores were
turned in by Barrett and
Melone. Barrett, a two-time Ail-
American, had a stroke average
of 77.9 for the faU. Her 77-75-77-^
was the lowest 54-hole score for
Longwood. Melone was close
behind with a 78.8 stroke
average. All her 54-hole scores
were in the 230's in a strong
display of consistency.
Pugh (82.4), Warren (82.5) and
Russell (82.8) were also
consistent scores for the most
part. Junior Tammy Lohren
averaged 81.5 for six rounds, but
was knocked out of action by an
injury.
Soccer
After splitting games with VMI
and District of Columbia last
Wednesday and Saturday,
Longwood's soccer team will
take a 94-1 record into a pair of
road contests on tap in this
week's action.
The Lancers visit rival
Hampden-Sydney for a 3 : 00 game
Wednesday afternoon and travel
to Newport News for a 2:00
showdown with nationally
ranked Christopher-Newport
Saturday. Both the Lancers and
Captains are hopeful of winning
the VISA Eastern Division crown
and reaching the state playoffs.
Longwood handled VMI with
ease Wednesday, winning by a 6-1
count, but was upset by District
of Columbia 3-2 Saturday
afternoon in the rain. The
Lancers had 24 shots to eight for
UDC, but failed to convert
enough opportunities. Late in the
game Longwood failed to hit a
penalty kick, which might have
brought on overtime.
"We played well," said Lancer
coach Rich Posipanko. "We
knocked it all around the field.
We just didn't finish. We missed
too many ^ots."
Senior Mark Kremen had a
goal and an assist and Tim Ford
also scored in Saturday's defeat.
Ford's goal put LC up 2-1 in the
second half before UDC scored
twice to take the win.
Posipanko, whose team has
been ranked 13th in Division II
the last two weeks, said the loss
to UDC would knock the Lancers
out of the rankings.
In Wednesday's win over VMI
Kremen had a goal and an assist,
Scott Gittman two goals and soph
Kenny Lim two goals.
Kremen has 3 goals and 9
assists for the season. One more
assist will tie the record for
assists in a season (10) which was
set by Gus Leal in 1982 and tied by
John Kennen in 1985. Gittman has
totaled 7 goals and 3 assists.
Gymnastics
Longwood's gymnastics team,
prepping for a regular season
which begins in early December,
will put on an exhibition
Wednesday night in Lancer Hall,
starting at 8 p.m. The
performance is open to the public
at no charge.
Coach Ruth Budd will have
perhaps her most experienced
team ever in 1960-87 with nine
veteran performers on hand. Led
by co-captains Tammy JZeller, a
junior, and Debbe Malin, a
senior, the Lancers are looking
for an outstanding season.
Longwood is scheduled to have
a home intersquad meet
November 19 and opens the
season December 6 at Radford
with William & Mary.
Player of
the Week
Freshman Kris Meyer had
eight stuff blocks and six stuff
assist blocks in a pair of
Longwood volleyball matches
Friday, and for her performance,
Meyer has been named
Longiiirood College Player of the
Week for the period October 19-
26. Player of the Week is chosen
by the Longwood sports
information office.
"Kris has been our most
consistent performer all season
and Friday night was no
exception," said coach Linda
Elliott. "She held our offense
together."
Meyer was credited with a 70
per cent (9-14) kill to hit ratio as
the Lady Lancers fell to
Bridgewater I and defeated
Bridgewater II in a pair of
matches in Lancer Hall. It was
just two weks ago that Meyer was
named to the All-Cindy Smith
Invitational Tournament team.
An art major who aspires to be
a photo journalist, Meyer was an
All-League and team MVP
performer at Downers Grove
High School. She was also a co-
captain in basketball.
A member of the National
Honor Society in high school,
Meyer received an academic
scholarship to attend Longwood.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Meyer who resides
in Roanoke, Virginia.
SIXTY-SIXTH YEAR
TUESDAY, NOVEMBERS, 1986
NUMBER SEVEN
Longwood gearing up for 150th Anniversary
Longwood College will
celebrate its 150th anniversary
in 1989 with a series of events
that are currently being planned
by eight committees made up of
Longwood faculty, students, and
staff members.
President Janet D. Greenwood
announced that H. Donald
Winkler, associate vice president
and executive director of public
affairs, will chair the
Sesquicentennial steering
committee.
Other members of the steering
committee are: Dr. Eleanor
Bobbitt, professor of health and
physical education; N. Burton
Brooks, Jr., instructor in
business; Evelyn Coleman,
confidential secretary to the
president and the Board of
Visitors; Richard Hurley, vice
president for business affairs;
Dr. Chuck McCarter, head of the
department of visual and
performing arts; Dr. John S.
Peale, professor of philosophy;
Anna Prow, a junior who is chair
of the Longwood Series of the
Performing Arts; Nancy
Shelton, director of alumni
relations; Virginia Silveira,
president of the sophomore class;
Ricky Stanfield, a sophomore
who is in the Arts and Sciences
Honors Program; Paul
Striffolino, Student Union
director; and Dr. Vera Williams,
head of the department of
education, special education and
social work.
The steering committee and all
other committees welcome
suggestions for Sesquicentennial
activities, Winkler said. He
added: "Give free rein to your
imagination, and make your
suggestions as detailed and
persuasive as possible."
The Sesquicentennial
observance has several
purposes:
— To symbolize the closing of
Longwood's first century and a
half, and the launching of the
second.
— To enhance the presence of
Longwood in Virginia and the
region;
— To provide a thoughtful
balance of events of quality; and
— To provide something of
lasting value, so that Longwood
will be a better institution that it
was before the celebration.
Winkler said that "the
Sesquicentennial should be a
year that students, faculty, and
staff will enjoy, appreciate,
benefit from, and remember
fondly for the rest of their lives."
The observance will be of
"special significance" to current
sophomores, Winkler said,
because they are the "Class of
1989— the Sesquicentennial
class." A number of sophomores
have been appointed to various
subcommittees. These
committees also include students
from the freshman, junior, and
senior classes.
All class presidents and the
Student Government president
are on the "Campus
Beautification Student Project
Committee." This committee is
expected to develop a project that
"will enhance the aesthetics of
one area of the campus, perhaps
turn it into a spot of beauty that
anyone would enjoy strolling
through," Winkler said. Each
graduating class through 1990
will be asked to consider
contributing its class gift to the
project. Members of that
committee are Mr. Hurley,
chair; Joe Bowman, postal
assistant; Dr. David Breil,
professor of biology; John
Colangelo, SGA president;
Richard Couture, assistant
professor of history; Dr.
Elisabeth Flynn, professor of
art; Bubba Moonie, senior class
president; Ellon Padgett,
freshman class president; Tim
Seymour, junior class president;
Ms. Silveira; Dr. Sue Saunders,
dean of students; Dr. Sue Shaw,
associate professor of business;
and Dr. Nancy Vick, associate
professor of education.
Each sesquicentennial
committee includes or will
include a faculty member from
each school, a Student Affairs
staff member, a member of the
classified staff, several students,
and others.
In addition to the above
committees, there are
committees on: "Arts
Weekend," "Symposium,"
"Historical Reflections,"
"External Events," "Opening
Birthday Party," and "Specialty
Promotions." Their members
are:
Arts Weekend— Dr. MrCarter,
chair; Betty Bryant, public
information officer; Randy
Edmonson, director of the art
program; Shirley Everett,
Lankford building manager;
Susan Gates, a freshman; J. Paul
Hurt, a sophomore; Dr. Bruce
Montgomery, director of the
music program; Dr. Nelson Neal,
associate professor of physical
education, health and recreation;
Anna Prow; Mr. Striffolino;
Margaret Terzin, instructor in
business and economics; Debbie
Turco, a sophomore; and Dr.
Douglas Young, director of the
speech and theatre program.
Symposium— Dr. Peale, chair;
Kent Booty, public information
officer; Teresa Bryant, a junior;
Karen Clifford, a student
development educator; Dr.
David Caliban, assistant

TKE's Gurney It Up
Tau Kappa EpsUon members push gurney, with fellow member Rob Clater on it, in
Oktoberf est Parade.
Members of Tau Kappa
Epsilon, a fraternity colony at
Longwood College, pushed a
hospital gurney bed 20 miles last
Saturday to r^ise money for the
United Way of Prince Edward
County.
"Everything went fine,
everything went as scheduled,"
said colony president John
Pastino. "There were no major
problems."
The 37 members of TKE took
turns pushing the gurney from
Cumberland County High School
to the Longwood campus. They
left Longwood at 3 a.m. and
proceeded from the high school at
about 3:45, Pastino said.
The trip, most of which was
along Route 45, went faster than
expected, "There wasn't much
traffic until 9 or 9:30, when we got
close to town," said Pastino. A
van carrying TKE members
followed closely behind the
walkers.
After arriving back in
Farmville, the students went to
Longwood House, the residence
of Longwood President Janet
Greenwood, and then returned to
the campus at about 10 a.m. TKE
members marched in the
Oktoberfest Parade, which began
at 12:15, pushing fraternity
brother Rob Qater in the gurney.
"We found out that it was
easier to push with someone on it,
because the wheels would vibrate
otherwise," said Pastino.
Pastino estimates that the
project raised about $1,500 for the
United Way. Persons pledged so
much per mile or just made a
contribution.
A fraternity colony is a group of
male students on its way to
becoming a full-fledged
fraternity. TKE should gain
official status by next spring.
Pag* 2 THE ROTUNDA

Guest Editorial
"Yeah, Longwood's got the second highest drinking rate in the
state," said the sophomore, half proudly.
"Well that's a dubious honor of sorts, don't you think?" said I.
"What I wanna know is, who's number 1?" asked the new fresh-
man.
Indeed, there seems to be much ado about drugs around the
country nowadays and with reason enough, but the reputation for
drug use at Longwood College appears to be little match against our
reputation as a beer drinking capital of the state.
Now, however, with the adoption of the state's grandfather
clause banning alcohol sales to persons born after July 2, 1966, the
college might have to look elsewhere for claims of fame. But to what
extent will the victims of the state's new drinking ban accept their
fate philosophically?
One of the nation's most outspoken advocates of the new
drinking ban, Joan Carboy, director of the Washington, D. C.
chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving says the law will en-
courage young people to alter their attitude toward drinking. "I
think that in 10 years you'll see a whole different picture. Young
people will find they can live without getting drunk." But will the
new law make drinking worse, as some believe? Will there be an
increase in alcohol-related accidents and deaths? Is it true, as
rumored, that many, if not most, students have just simply carried
on drinking ("life-as-usual") and it doesn't much matter that the
laws have changed?
And what about fraternity and sorority parties? As one 19-year-
old put it: "We have to be a little more careful; we call it 'being
discreet.' We essentially do as we want. It's not so much that
everyone knows we are anyway, it's that everyone expects us to.
That's why all the partying will just continue as usual."
Well, maybe — and maybe not. Local, regional, and state
authorities all seem to indicate that personal civil liability can be
connected to "social-host" responsibilities. "If people are being
served alcohol at a fraternity party and then go out and get in an
accident or cause some sort of damage, then the fraternity itself
would be wise to prepare for a lawsuit. Particularly should there be
any minors involved ..." said a D. C. educator who is also an at-
torney. And colleges must also worry about what is referred to as the
"deep-pockets" scenario. This is when the plaintiff tries to show
negligence by any and every organization connected to the defen-
dant(s) thus making them liable also, hoping to get money out of
their "deep-pockets" too. A college, if sacked by just 2 or 3 suc-
cessful lawsuits, can prepare to close its doors. Quite simply,
colleges can ill afford to be vulnerable.
One Longwood administrator feels that the new drinking ban,
"is just one more example of how society teaches young people that
they can break the law and get away with it. That is what this will
teach. Students will go off campus to drink, as they already are, they
will ride around in cars, fake I.D.'s will become a cottage industry."
Another administrator feels the dilemma goes farther than that,
"the main problem connected to drinking in our society is not one of
enforcement but, rather, existential. It is a problem of emptiness,
pain, boredom, loneliness, compulsion, addictions, and discon-
nection. In our culture it is easier to have sex with someone than to
get to know them. In such a convoluted society, is it really such a
puzzlement why young people would turn to a little liquid courage to
get through their everyday life?"
Historically, alcohol has not always been misused through time.
Beer was the nectar of the greek god Zeus. But, if sales can be used
as a modern day indicator, alcohol consumption has become an
institution in America. Ma, apple pie, and a Micelob. In matters of
individuality and choice there aren't always a lot of right answers.
But, as if it's any help, some answers are more right than others. It's
enough to make you STOP and THINK : Do you want a drink.

Faculty Art Exhibit
THE ROTUNDA Page 3
Works by 10 members of
Longwood College's art faculty
are on exhibit in the college's
Bedford Gallery through
November 21.
Drawings, photographs,
paintings, mixed media works,
stained glass "windows,"
ceramics, and a basket are
included in the show.
The wide diversity in themes,
media, and sophisticated
techniques makes the ex-
hibit a showcase of the
possibilities in contemporary art.
Mark Baldridge is showing
"Angel Wings," two stained
glass windows hung side by side.
Baldridge, who is best known for
his jewelry creations, has been
working with stained glass for
several years. This is the first
time he has shown stained glass
works locally.
Barbara Bishop is showing
eight photographs, including a
series of five studies of Briery
Church in Prince Edward
County. The artist used Polaroid
film and manipulated the
emulsion to enhance images
and textures. She also is
exhibiting a handmade paper,
wood and fiber work entitled
"Dream Fish."
Christy Crews Dunn's two
drawings have American Indian
themes. She used pen and ink
with a frottage technique.
Carol Edmonson is showing
one of her large willow baskets
and a handmade paper work.
Randy Edmonson's
contributions to the exhibit are
three ceramic "pots" and an
acrylic painting.
Tray Eppes' two works — a
wall hanging and a pot — are of
vapor-glazed clay. The striking
circular wall piece is aptly titled
"Window to Another World."
Elisabeth Flynn is showing
eight color photographs,
including scenes of fiords,
mountains, and a village in
Norway.
Chuck McCarter's two
paintings are mixed media on
canvas and paper. He uses a
technique of color over color,
sometimes five or six layers of
colors, that produces a gem-like
quality.
Amie Oliver is showing 10 large
graphite and mixed media
drawings.
Homer Springer's 11 works
include drawings in pencil with
gold and silver leaf, mixed media
collages, and "icon"
assemblages that combine
leather, wood, fur, tintype, and
handmade paper.
The Art Faculty Exhibit is open
to the public during the following
Bedford Gallery hours: 9 a.m. to
noon and 2 to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday; 7 to 10 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday; and 2
to 6 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday.
Strategic Planning Work Groups
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
Longwood's future is being
planned right now — today — as
we live and breathe on its very
campus. "Where? By whom?"
you ask. By a series of Strategic
Planning and Issues
Management Work Groups, I
answer.
The Board of Visitors has
drafted six broad goals to work at
while trying to set the directions
of Longwood's future. These
include (1) student life quality
enhancement, (2) development of
centers of excellence (for
example, the three schools that
were singled out last year:
education, business and arts), (3)
quality of living and learning
environments, (4) enrollment
management and gradual
increases in enrollment, (5)
effective and efficient resource
management, and (6) increasing
support for the college from
alumni, the conununity, etc.

strategies by which these goals
can be achieved are in the
process of being developed.
Some of the guidelines to be
followed in doing so are
identification of trends and issues
that might effect the college,
such as birth rate and fund
availability, trying to predict
them and deal with theni and
their consequences, and ranking
them in importance to LC.
The next step in the process of
securing a confident future for
the college is to make predictions
about the future, to be compared
and discussed.
Participation of the college
body in this project is essential
for a full-rounded view of certain
aspects of the school. Some
student organizations will be
involved just by the nature of
their responsibilities on campus,
such as our Student Government,
but any and all students and
faculty are urged to become
involved. There are to be eight
study groups to review separate
areas of importance. These will
include groups working on
teaching, curriculum and student
outcome qualities, quality of
student-faculty relations and
environments, centers of
excellence, admissions-related
issues, such as the marketing of
the school and its image, why do
or don't students stay here and
how can students and faculty
l)ecome involved in this, college
involvement in the community
and vise-versa, enhancement of
private and public support, and
resource development.
These issue study groups are
still in the process of being put
together, so now is the perfect
time to get involved in them.
Anyone interested in being in one
of these groups please contact
Mr. John King on 3rd floor East
Ruffner, or at 392-9397.

CALL FOR FREE ESTIMATES.
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
This past weekend marked a
milestone for the Longwood
College radio association. As of
Nov 1, 1986, the campus radio
station was no longer to go by the
call letters of WVTA, but would
henceforth be known as WLCX.
Why the change? When the
station was originally organized
way back when, it was just
assigned its call letters, which
were essentially picked out of a
hat. Nobody took the notion into
their head to come up with some
clever four-letter arrangement
(Beginning with a 'W', of course)
at the time, so we ended up with
Double-You Yoo Tee Aye: A Biti
Of A Tongue-Twister for nervous 1
new DJ's (and some old pros,
too).
The idea of changing the call
letters was brought up at a radio
station general meeting, and
checked into by general manager
Sonny Merchant. The Disc
Jockeys thought it'd be
something fun to do, and it
wouldn't cost them a dime. Of all
the possible combinations, after
elimination by the Federal
Communications commision of
ones already in use elsewhere,
WLCX won out.
The "new" station hopes to get
bigger and better in the
semesters to come, so give it a
listen!
Sittin' Pretty
By MICHELLE HAMMER
One of Longwood College's
most recent graduates, Kym
Nance, is already making a name
for herself in and around
Farmville. She is the manager of
the newly opened 'Forever Tan'
Tanning Salon in the Farmville
Shopping Center.
Originally from Virginia
Beach, Kym came to Longwood
with hopes of following in her
mother's footsteps in marketing.
Soon after her summer
graduation, however, Kym
married and settled in Farmville
where she found the job market
in a rural area much different
from that of the Beach. "It was
very hard finding a job in
Farmville," Kym said.
"(Someone) has to die around
here before a job opening
comes." She jokingly suggested
checking the daily obituaries
instead of the help wanted ads.
She was offered the managerial
position at 'Forever Tan' by a
family friend and anxiously
accepted. Along with the daily
tasks of making appointments
and running the three tanning
beds, Kym is responsible for the
advertising which is where her
background in marketing is
useful.
Kym had this advice for all
students, "You definitely have to
experience college life, but you
have to keep your goals in
perspective." As for the future,
Kym would like to open a high-
fashion boutique in Farmville.
For now though, that will have to
wait - at least for nine months!

Sports Wrap Up
Volleyball
By RICK RIVERA
Longwood's lady volleyball
team suffered two setbacks at
home last Thursday night. The
Lady Lancers (12-18) are
entering their final week of action
with matches at Chowan Monday
(6:30), Randolph-Macon
Woman's College and
Christopher-Newport at home
Wednesday (6:00) and at Liberty
(6:00) Friday
Thursday's matches proved to
be disheartening for coach Linda
Elliott and her team. Against
Mary Washington the squad had
a season high 17 kills, five of
which were credited to Teresa
Carr.
"The team just wanted to win
too much," stated Elliott.
Inconsistency on the court again
spelled disaster for the Lady
Lancers. Longwood played
excellent in spots and terrible in
others as mistakes were made
one right after the other.
The story was the same in the
match with Liberty, which won
15-3, 15-fl. Overall, it was perhaps
the best hitting night Longwood
has enjoyed. Besides the 17 kills,
Longwood also got some great
shot-blocking from Kris Meyer
with five blocks. Stephanie
Coukos had another profitable
evening hitting the ball
extremely well.
Elliott praised both Mary
Washington and Liberty for
having strong and disciplined
teams. Consistency on their part
made the difference.

Longwood played hard in
Saturday's loss at Christopher-
Newport, according to
Posipanko. He singled out
goalkeeper Dave Goerke, back
Jeff Robinson, forward John
Barone and midfielder Craig
Reid for their play in the loss.
The Captains led 1-0 at the half,
but Longwood tied the game at 1-
1 on a goal by Reid, asissted by
Barone 66 minutes into the game.
CNC got a goal when the
linesman ruled a shot had broken
the plane of the goal cage as
Goerke knocked it out. The host
team added another score with
about a minute left.
"We had a chance to win the
game," said Posipanko. "He
played pretty well." Each team
had nine shots on goal. Goerke
came through with seven saves
for the lancers.
Barone scored in the second
half on an assist from Mahfoud
Kyoud Wednesday to lead
Longwood over Hampton-
Sydney.
Longwood out-shot the Tigers
17-7 and got six saves from
Goerke who went all the way to
earn the shutout.
Heading into the end of the
regular season, Barone is the top
scorer with 8 goals and 5 assists.
Scott Gittman is second with
seven goals and three assists.
Mark Kremen has 9 assists and 3

100th career hockey win. The
Lady Lancers extended a string
of winning seasons to five in a
row.
Freshman Melissa Gwinn had 2
assists and a goal, and Diane
Brown 2 goals to pace the victory.
Laura Goetz and Traci Strickland
scored once each.
"It meant more to get our 10th

get number 100," said Finnie. "I
wouldn't have felt the season was
a success without getting win

just means I've got a long way to
go to 200 wins.
"I feel real good about the
season, particularly in light of the
fact that we'll have everybody
back for next year," said the
coach. "This is a close-knit

So How Do You Start A Club Here?
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
There are over 80 student-run
clubs and organizations on our
campus. Have you ever
wondered how they got there or
how YOU could start a club? It's
simple! Before you do anything
else, read the section on student
organizations in the student
handbook (pg. 64 of the 1986-87
calendar). Once you know what
the purpose of the organization
will be, go see Paul Striffolino in
the l^ankford Student Center
Building and talk about it with
him. He'll help guide you in the
right direction as far as choosing
potential advisors and writing up
a constitution.
The purpose of your club will
play a large part in who your
advisor should be, and what
needs to be included in your
constitution.
Choices for advisor should
include faculty and-or staff
members who will know how to
help the club in a number of
ways, including giving intelligent
advice, helping find new
activities to undertake, and
finding additional money sources
and incomes.
Not all constitutions will be
exactly alike, but they will have
some basic similarities. All club
constitutions name and give the
purpose of the club, state
qualifications for and
responsibilities of members,
give details of offices necessary
in such an activity, and define
the objectives of club meetings.
Beyond this, constitutions vary
from club to club; for example,
the Foreign Language Qub needs
to define aspects of their club
that may not pertain to other
clubs, such as the Rugby Club or
the College Democrats Qub. You
can obtain a copy of guidelines
for drawing up a constitution
from Paul Striffolino in Lankford
or from Phyllis Mable in the
Rotunda.
Once you have a constitution,
submit it to the Student
Folk Ensemble
The James Madison University
Folk Ensemble will give a
performance of international folk
dances on Tuesday, November
18, at 7 p.m. in the Lancer Hall
Dance Studio at Longwood
College.
The Folk Ensemble, directed
by Janet Sponheim, will perform
dances from Germany, Bulgaria,
Hungary, England, and the
United States. The group
emphasizes authenticity of
costumes, dances, and music
from each geographical area.
A participation session will
follow the performance.
Members of the ensemble enjoy
sharing dances, so those who
wish to learn a few folk dances
are encouraged to join in.
The performance is funded by
the Longwood College Arts
Council and sponsored by the
dance program of the
Department of Physical
Education, Health, and
Recreation.
The public is invited to attend
the performance at no charge.
Government so they can approve
it. The only real reasons they
might have for not approving a
club's existence on campus
might be (1) we have a club that
does the same thing already, or
(2) there is no reason why anyone
in the world would ever want to
join it; a javelin-catching club,
for example....
Registering your club with the
Student Government gives you
the rights to reserve space on
campus for meetings and
activities and apply for student
activity fee funds, and your
events can be advertised in
Campus Bulletins and other
campus publications.
Clubs on campus include
academic clubs as well as special
interest clubs. Some, like Tau
Kappa Epsilon Frantemity, are
just being formed. Some, like the
radio station and the yearbook,
have been revived within the past
few years. Some, like the Rugby
Club, are clubs because they
cannot be anything else. The
Rugby Club is a club instead of a
team because "the sport is
dangerous— we're supported by
the school, but not sponsored by
the school", remarked coach-
president Tim Seymour.
Although there are over 80
clubs on campus now, there could
be 80 more — all we need is
someone to .start them !
A.M.A.
After a weekend of exhausting
meetings and roundtable
discussion panels, the Ix)ngwood
Chapter of the American
Marketing Association returned
recently from the 1986 Northeast
Regional American Marketing
Association Conference held at
Penn State University.
The "Making it Happen in
Marketing" Conference, which
was held November 14-16, hosted
over 300 students and advisors
representing 40 different
chapters of the A.M.A. The
Longwood Chapter was
represented by Chapter
President, Barrett Baker,
Executive Council Member,
Robert Turner, and Chapter
Advisor, Mr. Burt Brooks.
Several different programs
were offered in five different
sessions so that each individual
would have a chance to attend
the programs they wanted to see
most. The programs included
topics such as: Time
Management, How to Kill an
Idea, Understanding Your
I^eadership Style, Women and
Other Minorities in the
Workplace, Marketing Research,
and Learning About the A.M.A. ,
just to mention a few. There was
also separate roundtable
discussions for all Chapter
Presidents, all Financial
Officers, and all Chapter
Advisors which was mostly an
informational exchange between
Chapters to see what other
schools were doing and what
could be done to improve
individual Chapters.
Plans to attend the
International Conference in New
Orleans were also discussed. This
event will take place April 9-11.
Longwood hopes to send some
representatives to this
conference as well so that they
can start to get more recognition
for the School and for the
Chapter.
A great deal of good ideas were
generated from the Regional
Conference. The Longwood
CTiapter hopes to bring these
ideas home and implement them
in a manner so that members are
not just there for resume
purposes, but to get actively
involved and to learn some skills
that they can take with them
after graduation. If you would
like to get involved with the
A.M.A. in one way or another,
please contact Burt Brooks in
Hiner or Barrett Baker at 392-
9909. It is never too late to get
involved.

Guest Editorial
On Sunday I went to see "The Wall" as it seems to be called. You
know the one, it is in Washington, D. C. and honors the men and
women who died in the Vietnam War. Have you ever really seen it,
not just on TV but up close? Did you see the people, family and vets?
Again, I found the stories I had heard to be true! It is a very
moving experience. More than that I found it to be a frightening and
horrible experience. I also watched the movie on television about
Agent Orange and the position of our government that there is no
relationship between illnesses affecting Vietnam veterans and
Agent Orange.
War is a horrible waste and some have said they feel it to be
necessary. War is a waste of the men and women who inevitably die.
War is a waste of our valuable resources that could be better used to
feed the hungry and develop cures for the illnesses plaguing our
world. War is most frequently caused by men trying to prove they
are right, more right, and-or stronger than other men. What's the
point?
I want to be sure it is understood that I am not being critical of
our veterans, they have been pawns in our own ignorance.
In recent elections less than 40 percent of the eligible voters cast
ballots. Does this mean it was not an important election or does it
mean that people are too caught up in themselves to bother with it?
Don't tell me you couldn't go home. ..they do have absentee ballots
even in Virginia! Don't tell me you didn't know it was Election
Day. ..it was in all the papers, the news, the radio, and even on my
door step.
You may think that little was happening in the world that needed
your vote. Can this be true? Our U. S. Congress recently approved a
new tax bill that is NOW affecting your financial aid, it is affecting
investments and donations to Colleges and other not for profit
groups, the laws of the 99th Congress have even reached in to the
food you eat and the clothes you wear.
This same Congress "allowed" the President to spend money in
South American in order to "bring freedom" to the people. This is
being done with guns and bombs that are designed for killing. ..that
is all! The Congress "supported" the President in his effort to build
the biggest gun of them all (SDI) despite the advise of our best and
brightest scientists that it cannot be done.
In the late 1950's and early 1960's it was fashionable to think that
we were at peace and that the conflicts in such far away places as
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia did not really impact on our lives. I
believe we are doing the same thing now in such places as
Nigaragua, El Salvador, and the Honduras. We have troops, guns,
money, and people in those countries and sooner or later someone is
going to kill one too many "Americans" (in Vietnam it was a fake
killing of sorts : remember the Gulf of Tonkin) .
Wake up people, the tragedy of Vietnam should never be
repeated again. Vote, read, understand the people in other worlds. I
don't wish to cry for more who have needlessly died.

"We have high confidence in
our products," he added. "We
believe that a better-informed
public making knowledgeable
comparisons will buy more of our
cars and trucks."
The guide is designed to help
prospective buyers narrow
vehicle choices as they read
through it. It starts with a quiz to
help buyers identify the vehicle
size that best fits their needs, and
a quick comparison chart of new
cars and trucks that include price
ranges, features, uses and
powertrains.
Other sections cover body
styles, engines, powertrains,
options, getting the best deal,
financing and how to take
delivery of a new vehicle. Also
included is a glossary of
automotive terms, and a guide to
using the service department
correctly.
"We believe this guide is
especially effective for college
students who probably are
buying a car or light truck for the
first time," said Mr. Donaldson.
"In addition to detailed product
comparisons, the guide also
explains what is involved in the
buying process, describing such
things as price negotiations,
financing, trade-ins and credit in
easy-to-understand terms."

Sweet
Briar
Exhibit
"Landscape in Photography,"
an exhibition of 19th and 20th
century original prints on loan
from the Virginia Museum, will
open on November 18 in Pannell
Center Gallery.
The collection of 40
photographs surveys the history
of the medium while focusing on
the environment, a primary
subject for photographers since
the mid-19th century. Early
photographers desired to express
visually what words could not.
The Sweet Briar exhibit Includes
19th-century examples of
straightforward documentation
of the American West and exotic
faraway places in Europe. Other
cameramen, like Henry Peach
Robinson, rigorously followed
traditional lighting and
compositions of artistic
convention. He dressed and posed
professional models and
manipulated them to serve a.s
focal points for his landscapes.
At the turn of the century,
photographers controlled the
printing process to obtain
romantic soft edges. This
prompted a reaction against
mechanical control of the unage.
Ansel Adams refined this
appreciation for a technically
pure approach in his majestic
landscapes. Today's
photographers appear to shift
from the purist approach, picking
and choosing from a broad and
varied legacy to create
fascinating and thought-
provoking images like those by
Linda Connor and Jerry N.
Uelsmann.
The photographers mentioned
above are among more than 30
artists, including Edward
Steichen, Eugene Atget and
Edward Weston, represented in
the exhibition at Sweet Briar.
The exhibit is open to the public
free of charge, through January
29, 1987, Tuesdays-Fridays 10-4,
Saturdays 10-1 and Sundays 1-4.

and other art exhibits at Sweet

Sex and the Supreme Court
U.S. Supreme Court decisions

and other sex-related cases
generally have been inconsistent,
reflecting an
'awkward
ambivalence" about sex, a
government professor told a
Longwood College audience
recently.
Dr. David Calihan, associate
professor of government at

Colloquium Lecture Nov. 5. He
discussed cases involving sexual
activities that have been
adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme
Court, state supreme courts and

Lankford. There are some
openings for officers on the board
at the present time, soon to be

welcome to attend these
meetings and help to plan SUN
events.
Court in 1966, 'Sex is a fact of life.
Its pervasive influence is felt
throughout the world and it
cannot be ignored ... It is a
subject which people are bound to
consider and discuss whatever
laws are passed by any
government to try to suppress
it."
"Nevertheless," added
Calihan, "western society seems
to have — and enjoy — an
awkward ambivalence about sex
and sex-related activities ... As
Justice Black observed, a lot of
people regard a lot of varieties of
sexual experiences as matters to
be avoided by other people, as
matters to be ignored or better
yet suppressed in public, and
often as matters to be punished ."
In cases involving sexual
deviance, "the courts have been
all over the ballpark — some
judges going in one direction and
some judges going in another
direction. Another factor which '
causes confusion is that there are
a relatively large number of
statutory and Constitutional
principles which the courts have
been asked to juggle."
There is also an apparent
inconsistency in cases involving
homosexuality, Calihan said.
"Judges have been uncertain
about how to deal with it. The
courts have been heterogeneous
in their decisions regarding
homosexuality, seeming to have
gone 'both ways.' And the
Supreme Court, in particular,
hasn't been of much assistance."
The problem of defining
pornography "has vexed the
Supreme Court from the 19th
century until even today," said
Calihan. Until the late l^Os, most
American courts observed an
antiquated definition dating back
to an 1868 case in England.
The first attempt by the
Supreme Court to define
pornography came in 1957, in
Roth vs. the United States, when
the Court ruled that obscenity
and pornography were not
protected by the First
Amendment. Justice William
Brennan, writing for the
majority, said that obscenity is
that which "to the average
person, applying community
standards, had as its dominant
theme, taken as a whole, an
appeal to prurient interests." It
was not protected bv the
Constitution because it is "utterly
without redeeming social
importance," he wrote.
In just seven years, from 1957
to 1964, the Supreme Court
devised three separate tests of
pornography — "prurient
interes t," • ' pat ent
offensiveness," and "utterly
without redeeming social
importance," said Calihan.
In a 1964 Supreme Court case.
Justice Potter Stewart had said
of hard-core pornography: "I
know it when I see it." Curiously,
however, he dissented from the
majority two years later when
the Court upheld the conviction of
magazine publisher Ralph
Ginzburg, who had been charged
with distributing pornography
through the U.S. Mail.
"Censorship reflects a society's
lack of confidence in itself. It is a
halhnark of an authoritarian
regime," he wrote.
Said Calihan, "The Court
continues to recognize a right, in
principle, to possess pornography
and even tolerates selling and
purchasing and exhibiting and
viewing (pornography).
However, the Supreme Court
majority has quickly cooperated,
in several recent cases, with
zoning boards and other local
government bodies to invidiously
discourage such businesses from
doing business. . ."
Among the Supreme Court
rulings Calihan cited were:
— Bowers vs. Hardwick, issued
last June 30. After being caught
having oral sex with another man
in 1982, Michael Hardwick of
Georgia was charged under the
state's sodomy law. The local
prosecutor decided not to
prosecute, but Hardwick wanted
to make a test case. The federal
Court of Appeals agreed with
Hardwick that the law was
invalid, but Georgia Attorney
General Bowers took the question
to the Supreme Court.
The Court, in a 5-4 vote, found
the law constitutional. Justice
Byron "Whizzer" White wrote
the majority opinion, saying that
the Constitution did not exphcitly
recognize a "fundamental" right
to privacy in all sexual
relationships between consenting
adults. The decision was
criticized by gay-rights activists
and civil libertarians.
— Kelly vs. Johnson, 1976.
Kelly, the police commissioner of
Suffolk County, New York, had
instituted a hair code for officers
— there were strict regulations
on sideburns and moustaches,
and beards and goatees were
forbidden. He said the
regulations were designed to
make the officers more
recognizable to the public and to
promote espirit de corps among
the police force. Patrolman
Johnson challenged the hair
code, saying it violated the 14th
Amendment guarantee of equal
protection.
The Supreme Court upheld the
police chief's regulations.
William Rehnquist, who recently
became Chief Justice, wrote the
majority opinion.
— Skinner vs. Oklahoma, 1942.
Arthur Skinner challenged
Oklahoma's Habitual Criminal
Sterilization Act, which was for
persons thrice convicted of
crimes of "moral turpitude."
Skinner had been convicted of
stealing three chickens and was
twice convicted of armed
robbery.
The court decided in favor of
Skinner. Justice William
Douglas, in the majority opinion,
said the law violated the equal
protection clause and substantive
due process. Armed robbery
didn't qualify as an act of moral
turpitude (incredibly,
embezzlement and "political
offenses" were not included in
that category).

To the Editor:
It is a shame that Longwood
C!ollege does not see fit to
adequately serve its students.
The increasing tuition that we
students pay demands that, in
return, we receive the highest
quality in services to all of
Longwood's facilities. One facet
of campus continues to be
neglected; that is the issue of
access to buildings for disabled
students. A percentage of all
campus buildings are supposed
to have ramps and other means
of access for the disabled
population, according to the law.
It doesn't take much effort on the
part of Janet Greenwood, other
administrative faculty and staff,
or the students to see that the
only buildings with adequate
access are Lancer Gym, Student
Health Center, and Curry and
Frazer Dorms. Some of the other
buildings have elevators, but that
still does not solve the problem of
entering the building. The rest of
the buildings have nothing but
stairs. Even the library, a.
yiiilHjnp utilized bvtie entire
student body is noi aaequatenT
.accesaT' ~
Congwood can find money to
hire additional faculty, establish
more parking, increase dining
hall hours (which means more
money to pay employees to work
additional hours), etc., to make
life better for students, but it
can't find the funds to help the
disabled of the campus.
At the beginning of this
semester, I dislocated my knee in
the Lancer Cafe and had to use
crutches. At one point, I needed
to use a wheel chair to get to my
classes on time and keep up with
my college schedule, but I was
unable to do so because none of
the buildings in which I had
classes had ramps. I was forced
to use crutches and the stairs. (I
ahnost fell many times!)
Since my accident, I've
encountered many students on
crutches, canes, using braces,
etc. I have become more
sensitive to this issue than I was
in the past and I think it's high
time we do something about it.
Many people say that it's not an
important or pressing issue
because so little ot the college's
population falls into this
"disabled minority." To them I
say: "Never pass judgement
until you've walked a mile in the
shoes of those faced with this
terrible dilemma!"

To the Editor:
Recently there has been a lot of
talk on how Longwood should get
rid of Family Style Dining. There
are some good reasons to get rid
of Family style, but most people
don't take the time to think of the
many good reasons to keep it.
Without Family style there would
be a long wait for a table because
most students don't fill the tables
up with eight people and that
would mean a lot of wasted
space. Then you would have to
wait for one of the dining hall
employees to clean the table
since most students are just too
lazy to take their trays to a truck
or the window. The dining hall
currently employees about 200
students and most of them would
lose their jobs and there aren't
enough jobs on campus to replace
the jobs lost. One thing that most
students don't realize is that one
of the major holdups is the mess
that they leave on the table, and
the fact that they sit and talk for
about 10 minutes while the line
out the door grows. If Longwood
wishes to get rid of Family style
dining then the students are going
to have to start picking up after
themselves.
A dining hall employee
To The Editor:
Recently, I was exiting
through a door in the Rotunda
area (the location shall remain
unnamed for confidential
reasons), and I had to dodge a
few piles of boxes that were
obviously intended to go out with
the trash. I bumped into a small
pile, and as I bent over to pick up
some papers which had teetered
out, I happened to notice that
they were computer print-outs of
confidential student information.
These listings included the
students' G.P.A.'s, social
security numbers, birth dates,
and financial aid information.
You can bet that I quickly found
my listing and tore it out. I was
personally outraged that the
college would be so careless
about confidential information.
Even more upsetting is the fact
that, last year, I encountered this
same situation, except it was at
the Science Building. I don't
think that any student's
confidential records should be
made available to the public,
even if it is through the trash.
The college owes it to its students
to seal such listings and dispose
of them somewhere other than in
boxes at a public exit. After all, I
don't remember seeing
confidential information about
faculty lying about anywhere.
Please, give the students a little
deserved respect — our privacy
is at stake here. Thank you.

Wrestling
Longwood's wrestling team got
its 1986-«7 season off to an
outstanding start last Wednesday
night with a resounding 41-2
victory over Newport News
Apprentice before a vocal home
crowd in Lancer Hall.
This week the Lancers will
compete in the Elon College
Tournament Friday and
Saturday in Burlington, North
Carolina. Following the trip to
Elon, Longwood won't resume
action until December 3 when
they visit William & Mary.
Potentially the best Lancer
team ever, Longwood lived up to
its advanced billing by winning
nine of 10 matches and tying one
Wednesday night.
Heavyweight Jesus Strauss
and 190-pounder John Kelly
recorded pins and 118-pounder
Tim Fitzgerald blitzed his foe 23-5
in match highlights. Tommy
Gilbert also won in overwhelming
fashion with a 19-4 technical fall
at 142 pounds.
Also gaining wins for the
Lancers were: Ben Bartlett at
126, 7-3 decision, John Stukes at
134, 11-6 decision, Billy Howard at
158, 11-5 decision, Matt Meurer at
167, 10-8 decision, and David
Taylor at 177, 13-12 decision.
Longwood's Pete Whitman
battled Kevin Olinger to a 7-7 tie
at 150 pounds.
"The hustle was great," said
Lancer coach Steve Nelson. "I
was pleased with the effort, but
technique was lacking. Our
freshmen did a real good job.
That was the best performance
we've had in Lancer Hall in a
long time."
Claye Conkwright
Longwood junior Claye
Conkwright received honorable
mention on the recently
announced Penn-Monto College
Field Hockey Coaches
Association All-South Region
Team. The team was dominated
by players from Division I
powers North Carolina, James
Madison and Old Dominion.
Conkwright has been a three-
year starter for the Lady
Lancers. She set a season record
for interceptions-tackles while
helping Longwood to a 10-6-1
record during the past season. A
co-captain for Longwood, she is
an education major.
A graduate of Frank W. Cox
High School, Conkwright was
named Field Hockey Player of
the Year in the Virginia Beach
area in her senior season.
Player Of The Week
Junior goalkeeper Dave
Goerke played a key role in
Longwood's 2-1 victory over
Liberty Saturday in the VISA
Playoffs, and for his efforts,
Goerke has been named
longwood College Player of the
Week for the period November 9-
16. Player of the Week is chosen

Women's Basketball
Preview
Tip-Off Tournament
Begins Friday
Long wood College women's
basketball coach Shirley Duncan
approaches the upcoming season
with mixed emotions. The Lady
Lancers will be more
experienced, but youth still
donninates.
"We're more experienced than
we were last year, but we're
young," said coach Duncan,
whose team finished 8-17 after
back-to-back 16-win campaigns.
"We also have a very tough
schedule with five Division I
opponents, but we're looking to
improve on last season's record."
While the 1986-87 edition of
Lady Lancer basketball will have
eight returning squad members,
just four of those players have
considerable experience. Only
seniors Caren Forbes and Karen
Boska and juniors Angle Hill and
Barbara Burton have played
more than one year.
Co-captains on this year's
team, the 5-7 Forbes and the 6-1
Boska have been starters for
three seasons. Forbes averaged
13.6 points and handed out 126
assists last season. She is
Longwood's all-time leader in
assists with 371 and has scored
1,046 points. Boska has been
consistent over the years. She
averaged 9.9 points and 7.3
rebounds in 1985-86. She has 741
points and 580 rebounds for her
career.
"I'm looking for outstanding
seasons from Forbes and
Boska," said Duncan. "They
have been an important part of
our program since arriving on
campus."
Hill, a 5-7 guard, started 18
games last season and played in
24, averaging 5 points per
contest. A 6-2 center, Burton
played in 18 games after
regaining her eligibility at mid-
semester. She scored 3.8 points
and pulled down 3.8 rebounds.
Missing from the lineup will be
5-11 Melanie Lee, last year's
leading scorer (14.5) and
rebounder (9.0). Lee chose to
pass up her senior year of
basketball because of
commitments to an academic
internship.
Four sophomores, who got
their feet wet in 1985^, appear to
be ready to make big
contributions. Center Sandy
Rawdon, 6-1, guard Angee
Middleton, 5-6, forward Kita
Chambers, 5-10, and forward
India Walton, 5-10, are improved
and should help.
Newcomers include junior
transfer Jill Everett, a 5-10
forward who will be eligible in
January, and freshmen Jennifer
Crusade and Deirdre McDaniels.
C^ach Duncan says Everett's
presence will give the team a
boost in January. Both Crusade,
5-7, and McDaniels, 6-0, had
standout prep careers.
"We should be a much stronger
team when Jill Everett becomes
eligible at the end of the first
semester," said Duncan. "We'll
be playing with just 10 players for
our first six games."
"Oiu- returning players came
back to school greatly
improved," said the coach.
"They worked hard over the
summer to get ready for the
season. Plus, coach (Loretta)
Coughlin's conditioning program
this fall is beginning to show
excellent results on the floor."
Longwood, which tied for
fourth in the Mason-Dixon
Conference last season, has been
picked fourth by league coaches
and third by the MDAC sports
iMormation directors in pre-
season polls this fall. With the
addition of Randoiph-Macon lo
women's MDAC play, the league
will have five teams once again.
Mount St. Mary's, Liberty and
Pittsburgh-Johnstown are also
members.
1986-87 LADY LANCER BASKETBALL — First row (1 to r ) Assistant Coach Loretta Coughlln,
Karen Boska, Caren Forbes, Head Coach Shirley Duncan. Back row — manager Lee Ann Good-
son, Jill Everett, manager Michelle KroIIkowski, Barbie Burton, KIta Chambers, Deirdre
McDaniels, Angee Middleton, India Walton, Angle Hill, Sandy Rawdon, Jennifer Crusade.
Six weeks of pre-season
practice will come to an end
Friday night at 7:05 when
Longwood's men's basketball
team takes to the floor for its
regular season opener. Three
newcomers will likely be in the
starting lineup for coach Cal
Luther's squad.
Longwood plays Division III
Newport News Apprentice in the
fourth Par-Bil's Tip-Off
Tournament opener. Division 11 's
Queens and Bloomsburg will
square-off in the second contest
at 9:00 with the winners meeting
for the title at 8 : 30 p.m. Saturday.
First round losers play at 6:30 for
third place.
The Lancers, who have made
two trips to the tournament
finals, will be looking to win the
Par-Bil's event for the first time.
Luther is sure of only one thing as
the season approaches.
Longwood has basically a new
team and will make mistakes
early.
"With so many new players on
the squad, we'll make mistakes
early in the season," said the
coach. "I just hope we can make
progress as things develop."
Expected to be in the starting
lineup Friday are 6-3 senior
Kevin Ricks and 6-0 junior Art
Monroe at guard, 6-6 Quintin
Kearney center and 6-4 Darryl
Rutley and 6-4 Kevin Jefferson at
forward.
Ricks and Kearney were
starters on last season's 14-13
squad, which ended up second in
the Mason-Dixon Conference.
Kearney averaged 11.9 points and
7.6 rebounds while Ricks scored
7.4 points and led the team in
steals (63) and assists (114). Both
have played well in pre-season
scrimmages.
Luther has l)een real pleased
with the play of Jefferson, who
will be the first freshman to start
for Longwood since Ricks in 1983-
84.
"Kevin (Jefferson) has been
slowed by a bad ankle, but he has
been a pleasant surprise," said
Luther. "He has come along real
well and earned a starting spot."
Luther is counting on Rutley
and Monroe to pick some of the
scoring slack left by the
departure of last year's top two
scorers Lonnie Lewis and
Kenneth Fields. Both Monroe and
Rutley have scored well in pre-
season play.
The Longwood coach expects
senior Eric Pittman and red-shirt
freshman Doug Poppe to be his
top players off the bench.
Pittman and Ricks are l.ancer
co-captains.
Par-Bil's Food Store of
Farmville is sponsoring the
tournament for the fourth year.
Par-Bil's also plans to donate
$500 to the Longwood athletic
scholarship fund in honor of a
Longwood Player of the
Tournament.
Previous Par-Bil's
Tournament winners have been
Shippensburg, High Point and
West Virginia Tech.

will be no exception.
Longwood, will meet
Christopher-Newport (18-4)
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 in

Men's Basketball
Preview
Coach Cal Luther and his
Ix)ngwood basketball team enter
the 1986-87 season facing a major
rebuilding year. Five seniors,
who were members of last
.sea.son's top eight, must be
replaced.
"We lost two All-Conference
players and several top reserves
off last year's team," said coach
Luther. "We will be very young
and inexperienced this season
with only three seniors on the
squad."
The two All-Conference
players gone from last season
were forwards Lonnie Lewis and
Kenneth Fields who averaged
over 36 points per game between
them.
"On the other hand, we're
encouraged by the potential of
the young players who have
joined us," said the Lancer
coach. "We're hopeful that
they'll be able to develop by the
time league play rolls around to
make us competitive in the
Mason-Dixon Conference again."
Longwood ended up 14-13
overall and 7-3 in the Mason-
Dixon a year ago to place second
behind nationally ranked Mount
Saint Mary's. This season in pre-
season polls the Lancers were
picked to end up last (fifth) in the
league by the coaches and fourth
by the MDAC sports information
directors.
Top returnees are seniors
Kevin Ricks, a 6-3 guard, Quintin
Kearney, a 6-6 center, and Eric
Pittman, a 6-2 guard. In 1985-86
Ricks led the team in steals (63)
and assists (114) while scoring 7.4
ppg. Kearney averaged 11.9 pts.
and 7.6 rebs. Pittman scored 4.6
per contest.
Also back are sophomore
guards Bobby Dobson 5-11, and
Robert Pierce 6-1, who saw
limited action in '85-86. Among
the newcomers are 6-8 red-shiri;
freshman Doug Poppe and 6-4
sophomore transfer Darryl
Rutley, who sat out last season.
Junior college transfer Art
Monroe, 6-0, has shown much
potential. Sophomore guard Tony
Good 6-0, made the squad this
year as a walk-on.
Lancer freshmen include 6-4
Kevin Jefferson, 6-6 Greg
HoUoway, 6-2 Dale Shavers, and
6-0 Gary Austin, who will be
eligible in January. Austin was a
starter on one of Cumberland
High's Class A State
Championship teams.
While Longwood's newcomers
have considerable potential, the
key to the upcoming season could
be how well the rookies are able
to blend in with the returning
veterans.
"We have to come together as a
team," said Luther. "With eight
new players on a squad of 13,
we've got to get used to playing
with each other. We're hoping to
develop as the season
progresses."
Longwood's beefed-up schedule
includes Division I's Alabama-
Birmingham, North Carolina,
Charlotte and East Carolina. In
addition, coach Luther expects
the Mason-Dixon Conference to
be as strong as it has ever been
from top to bottom.

goals in 22 games thanks in part
to goalkeeper Rick Longobardi.
Wednesday's game will match
the first (CNC) and second place
(LC) teams in the VISA Eastern
Division.
Longwood, which has won four
of its last five games, was ranked
14th in the final NCAA Division II
poll last week. The Lancers
dominated Saturday's game at
Liberty with 25 shots to the host
team's 15.
Liberty got on the board first
missed at least five good scoring
opportunities, but the defense
was tremendous."
Posipanko praised goalkeeper
Dave Goerke crediting the junior
with four game-winning saves.
Longwood has a 6-2 record since
Goerke began starting. The
Longwood coach feels his team
can win Wednesday if it plays
with the intensity displayed
Saturday in Lynchburg.
Longwood landed seven spots

NUMBER TEN
Survey Says
The nation's college students
are more conservative in their
attitudes about a wide range of
subjects than the generation
which preceded them, according
to the most penetrating survey of
college student attitudes ever
undertaken.
Student Watch '86, conducted
by Simmons Market Research
Bureau for the College Stores
Research & Educational
Foundation, provided for the
first time an in-depth look at a
separate and important force in
America's social-political-
economic picture — 12.5 million
students with over $20 billion in
discretionary annual spending.
The Foundation that funded the
$250,000 survey is the research
arm of the National Association
of College Stores, a trade
association with more than 2,700
college store members and 1,000
associate members across the
U.S., Canada and other countries.
Based on responses from 4,349
randomly selected students who
answered a 29-page
Creative Dramatics
Plans are underway at
Ix)ngwood College for a "creative
dramatics" program for
children, to be offered for five
weeks in Febrauary and March.
The program will be directed
by Melanie Moore, of New
Canton, a 26-year-old mother of
two who has returned to Longwo-
od to major in theatre.
A stage veteran, Moore is
active in the Waterworks Players
and had major roles in their
recent productions of Cabaret
and The Most Happy Fella'. She
also appeared in high school
productions and has worked with
other community theatre
companies.
"I want to give children an idea
of what it's like to be on stage,"
Moore said. "I want them to
realize that anyone can be in the
theatre. It doesn't require special
talent, just dedication and self-
confidence."
She is designing the program
for first through sixth graders.
Enrollment will be limited to 10.
The fee is $35.
Sessions will be held on
Saturday mornings, February 7-
March 7, from 10 a.m. to noon,
Moore said. The "little theatre"
in Jarman Hall is being
renovated to provide space for
the children's activities and
close-to-the-action seating for the
audience. The program will
include get-to-know-each-other
exercises, improvisations,
pantomime, and short skits.
Dr. Chuck McCarter, Melanie Moore, and Dr. Pat Lust make
plans for Longwood's program *" "creative dramatics" for
children. Moore (center) wUl direct the program.
"We'll probably make up our
faces in clown make-up in one or
more sessions," Moore said.
"Behind make-up or a mask, it's
easier to be somebody else."
The final session will be a
"showcase" to which family and
friends will be invited.
"I think the children will have
a great time and will come to love
the theatre," Moore said. "That's
my goal."
Moore says she was "an Army
brat. I've lived all over the U.S.
and in Germany. I started school
in a real kindergarten in Berlin."
(Kindergarten is a German word
that, literally translated, means
"children's garden.")
When she attended Longwood
the first time, Moore majored in
music. "I sing — and play the
piano a little," she said. All of her
interests have come together now
in the theatre major.
Dr. Chuck McCarter, head of
Longwood's department of visual
and performing arts, said the
children's program is "exactly
the kind of thing I'm interested in
developing. The department has
resources and talents that can be
used to meet the needs and
interests of community residents
of all ages."
The Creative Dramatics for
Children program is part of
Longwood's Community Arts
School and will be coordinated
through the Office of Continuing
Studies (non-credit section), in
cooperation with the department
of visual and performing arts.

Fed up with this Tradition:
An ARA Dilema
to grow on
To the Editor:
The United States Government
has declared war on drugs. Ail
drugs, that is, except alcohol.
Yes, it's true, and marijuana
just so happens to be one of those
drugs. To be frank, I am rather
partial to it myself but politically
speaking I feel that we're
.starting to get a might too close
to my civil liberties. At the same
time I think that some of our
officials are getting somewhat
self-righteous. It was quite a
relief to discover that our
President had agreed to take a
urinalysis. We all had been quite
worried that in a free-basing
.state of mind ol' Ronnie would
push the button.
Our military will be used to
combat the "recent" problem of
drugs, however, our lawmakers
don't trust them enough to let
them go without regularly taking
urinalyses. This battle is going to
cost the government a bundle (1.7
billion dollars has been
estimated), but our children will
still be ignorant about alcohol
and drugs and their effects. How
about being a little more
intelligent about this situation
and help both the American
people and their government out
of a jam.
The American farmers need a
cash crop and could grow
marijuana if they could morally
accept it. Organized crime could
be undersold if pot was a
controlled substance. People
who sell it would have to get a
real job and pay taxes. The
controlled substance could be
sold in a government managed
store, taxed accordingly, and
sold at a price more reasonable
than today's. You now have
another revenue generating
controlled substance, and richer
farmers, poorer mobsters, and
happier citizens.
Revenue generated could then
be used to construct a program to
better and more realistically help
our children to decide why they
should or should not use
marijuana, alcohol, and other
more serious drugs. The Drug
Enforcement Agency could then
use their extra time to combat
crack, heroin, and the
everchanging varieties of drugs
which appear on the streets.
In closing I would like to say
that no one has proved to me yet
that marijuana is any more
dangerous than alcohol. I also
feel that as an adult I am entitled
to choose whether or not I would
like to smoke pot. Decide for
yourself, readers.

By MATT PETERMAN
Traditions are very important
for a college t)ecause it gives the
students something to look
forward to and something to
make them feel good about the
school. A tradition at Longwood
that produces the exact opposite
effect is family style dining and
should be discontinued for that
same reason.
The basis behind family style
dining is to make the student feel
as though he or she is at home.
The food is brought to the table by
a student waiter or waitress and
the students serve themselves.
Like most "good" plans; they
look good on paper, but in reality
they are far from it.
The fact of the matter is that
students, student workers, and
the regular ARA staff think
family style dining or waitering
as it is called, is a huge hassle.
"It's such a long process.
Waiting first of all to get in and
then waiting for your waiter to
come. When he does come, you
have to wait for your food and
this whole process doesn't make
coming to dinner worth it,"
commented Tim Oliva, a
Longwood sophomore.
This is the typical view of most
Longwood students, who in
addition to the above mentioned
waiting process, also have to face
other dilemmas. Besides being
forced to eat with students one
may not care to eat with, the food
is usually cold when it finally
arrives at the table.
As Lee Ford, a transfer student
from Mary Washington points
out: "expectation of a full meal is
impossible because the meal
comes in parts. Bread,
vegetables, and the main course
arrive in five minute intervals.
Absolutely no coordination exists
to have a complete meal at the
same time."
This very frustrating to a
hungry student who has been
forced to wait and wait. The
frustrated student usually comes
to the conclusion that the server
is slow because he or she is
slacking off.
"The student server is trapped
between an inefficient kitchen
and the student who angrily
waits for his food," said Steve
Evans, a second year student of
I.«ngwood.
This seems to bring the obvious
problem of ARA's lack of
prepared food when the time
becomes necessary. If food could
be served promptly, the agony
for all involved would be
lessened. In an attempt to save
money, the primary reason
behind waitering, ARA tries to
prepare the food, at the margin.
This simply means that in an
attempt to eliminate waste, ARA
often prepares the food as the
seated student waits and the
students waiting in line, waits
even more.
"Asking for seconds is so slow
that I don't even bother
anymore," said Steve Evans.
Most students do prefer seconds
because the initial portions given
out are so small. ARA's notion
that a 6 oz. portion of potatoes is
going to satisfy 8 people is
absurd. One pizza every 10
minutes is also just as absurd for
8 people. If one is not fond of
Frosted Flakes or Fruit Loops,
then supplementing the average
ARA family style meal is a
problem.
The fact that everyone
involved, be it the student or the
worker is unnecessarily
burdened by a tradition that is
more than antiquated is correct.
Most families of the 80's don't
even participate in such meals at
home, as the family is constantly
on the run and so are most
students.
Instead of coming to dinner to
relax, the students are hassled by
a series of substantial delays
which in turn is followed by
frustration. The student workers,
doing the best they can,
considering what ARA gives
them to work with, are hassled by
the frustrated students, who
leave their tables a complete
mess in retaliation for their
treatment. This tradition must
end, for the only feelings it does
produce is that of anger and
frustration and this is no way
good.
"The only purpose of waitering
is to drive students away and as a
money saving technique,"
proclaimed Lee Ford.
The sad thing about the
statement above is that it is so
true. The only beneficiaries seem
to be the ARA accountants as
they budget the saved money. To
everyone else, family style dining
should be a thing of the past.
Though fighting most things in
the Longwood bureaucracy is
impossible, disposing of this false
tradition can be arranged
through the use of petitions. If
response to this article is great
enough, a petition will be
organized and implemented. If
you feel you would support the
petition, write the word "Yes" on
anything and through school mail
send it to The Rotunda, Box 1133.

Second
to One
Longwood College has moved
into second place among public
colleges and universities
nationwide in the percentage of
alumni who contributed to the
annual fund.
Longwood's alumni donor
percentage of 40.69 was second
only to that of Southern
Mississippi University (41.19).
Other institutions in the top five
are Virginia Military Institute
(40.40), Auburn University
(36.43), and Ball State University
(33.29).
The rankings are based on the
Report to the Council for
Financial Aid to Education for
calendar year 1985 or fiscal year
1984-85.
A total of $152,929 was con-
tributed to Longwood's alumni
annual fund in calendar 1985 by
5,008 alumni.
Paula Clay, director of annual
funds, said that 12,305 Longwood.
alumni were asked to contribute
to their alma mater during 1985.
Most of these alumni were
contacted by telephone during a
nine-week Alumni Telefund
campaign. Students who are
members of the Longwood
Ambassadors made the calls.
"This high percentage of
alumni donors could not have
been reached without the com-
mitment of the Longwood
Ambassadors," Clay said. "The
65 Ambassadors gave a total of
7,800 volunteer hours to the
campaign. They all should be
commended."
Lost and
Found
The hours for the Lost-Found
department will be as follows:
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. If anyone needs assistance

Artist of
the Month
Kelley L. Coggsdale, a junior
from Suffolk, has been named
Artist of the Month at Longwood
College.
Her winning work is a
serigraph (silkscreen print)
entitled "Peace Talks."
The work deals with "a conflict
of ideas — life-death, peace-war,
USA-USSR, Gorbachev-
Reagan," Coggsdale said. "The
idea of a nuclear war alarms me,
and doing this piece shows my
concern for the issue."
Coggsdale received a cash
award, and her print is on display
this month in the first floor
hallway of Bedford Art Building
at Longwood. Copies of the print
($15 unmatted, $20 matted) may
be obtained from the artist by
calling 392-9601.
Coggsdale is majoring in art
with a double concentration in
graphic design and art
education. She is president of
Artworks, Inc., an interest and
service club for art majors, and
a member of Longwood
Ambassadors, a leadership and
public relations organization of
students who assist with
fundraising campaigns and serve
as hosts for college events.
The Artist of the Month
competition is open to all
students enrolled in art classes at
Longwood. The winner is chosen
by the art faculty.

Little Hope For South Africa
A crumbling agriculture,
natural disasters, population
explosion and political strife have
led to an econonnic crisis in
Africa today that rivals the
Depression, an authority on
Africa said at Longwood College
recently.
"The economic crisis in Africa
has been called the most
profound in modern history,
which may be an exaggeration,"
said Fred. L. Wettering, National
Intelligence Officer for Africa.
"But it is definitely the worst
since the Great Depression."
Wettering, a 21-year veteran of
the Foreign Service, is the top
adviser to President Reagan on
Asked about South Africa, he
expressed little hope for major
reforms in the immediate future.
"The great revolution that
people talk about probably won't
occur for at least another five
years. There has been a spasm of
reforms by the government
which I fear is ended. I do not see
a plan by the current government
which seriously addresses (true
reforms). As of now, I'm a little
pessimistic."
The fewer reforms are made,
the greater the chance of a
violent revolution, he said.
Wettering also said he fears that
revolutionary change would
damage the United States'

matters relating to Africa.
Before taking his current job,
which is with the U.S. State
Department, he worked for the
National Security Council from
1981 to 1984. He spoke to
Longwood's Introduction to
Africa class on Nov. 18.
national interests.
Most of his address, though,
focused on economic and other
problems facing Africa today.
"Africa is losing the ability to
feed itself," he said. "Per capita
food production is only 80 percent
of what it was in 1961-65, when

most African states gained in-
dependence. Food imports have
tripled. Africa is not growing
enough of its food. Nigeria, for
example, grew all of its food in
the 1960s, but imports most of it
now."
Sorghum and casaba, two
traditional staples of the African
diet, are still being produced, but
there's been a "taste perference
shift" because of the migration to
cities, said Wettering. They are
less popular among urban
residents, while wheat and rice
are increasingly popular —
neither of which is grown much in
Africa.
The population explosion in
Africa — the only continent
where the population is growing
— is "key to most of the other
problems." The population was
200 million in 1950, it is 500 million
now, and is expected to grow to
1.2 billion by 2020. The average
African woman has 6.9 children;
the average in Kenya is 8
children. The population of
Nigeria will double in the next 20
years, Wettering said.
"There's been a population
explosion that has gone com-
pletely unchecked. No African
government has done anything
serious to control population.
This has serious political
ramifications."
Many young adults won't be
able to get jobs, which will
result in "political dynamite.
They'll be politically aware and
disgruntled. They'll organize and
agitate and push for change.
They won't simply go back to the
countryside and grow com."
The cities, in particular, have
grown in recent years. "There's
been a tremendous strain in cities
for the government to provide
services and housing, which
they've been unable to meet.
Even Western governments, with
all their resources, would be
hard-pressed to provide the
necessary services. Most major
African cities are surrounded by
shantytowns."
Wettering thinks the solution is
to improve life in the country, so
that people won't be tempted to
move to the city. Unfortunately,
government policies have
favored city-dwellers, mainly
because that's where the foun-
ders and leaders of the various
states have lived, he said.
"Policies by African govern-
ments have completely distorted
the economy in favor of the city
and against the countryside.
Farmers have been penalized for
growing food, which is a massive
disincentive."
Africa is losing the ability to
pay its debt, said Wettering. The
debt service ratio is about 50
percent, and it's 100 percent in
some African nations. Existing
debts have been refinanced —
payments strung out and interest
converted to principal — but
that's not a long-term solution.
Also, there's been "a general
disinvestment in the continent of
Africa." Investment was $11
billion in 1980; it was $5 billion
last year. "It will wind up being
pretty close to zero. The major
b^nks are simply stopping in-

will be with us a while."
Trade also has been a problem.
"African commodities are
bringing 1945-level prices but
they're paying 1986-levle prices
for what they import," he said.
African currencies often are
overvalued, which means that
their goods go unpurchased. The
1973 Arab oil embargo, in par-
ticular, had disastrous con-
sequences.
"Attempts at industrialization
have, in general, failed very
badly. The good news is that
everyone, both the African
governments and the U.S.
in Africa. Seven countries have
major insurgencies, most of
which are rural-based. It's easy
for people in the countryside to
acquire arms and there has been
a "breakdown in central
authority."
"About half of the African
governments came to power
through coup d'etats. Most
countries have only two real
institutions: the security forces
(the army and police) and the
bureaucracy. There have been 57
incidents of military intervention
in Africa since the 1950s. I'm
afraid that will continue. And
internally, Libya and South
government, has recognized the
problem. The most important
task is to rebuild African
agriculture."
Natural disasters — such as the
cyclical drought that caused the
Peace Corps
Book Drive
famine in Ethiopia and Sudan in
1984 — have hurt Africa, Wet-
tering said. Fortunately, a
potential locust plague was
averted recently, thanks to early
detection. "The cycle (of locusts)
was stopped for the moment.
Over one million people are alive
today because of food that would
have been eaten by locusts."
In.surgencies, which "look to be
a tren(i of the future," also have
hindered economic development
Africa have been disruptive
influences."
Many African nations, in-
cluding Tanzania and Mozam-
bique, have rejected the theory of
a socialist economy. "Socialist
economy is widely discredited
among Africans of all political
stripes. But Marxism-Leninism
is still popular," because it
enables countries to receive
Soviet and East Bloc assistance.
Five African nations are
classified by the Soviet Union as
Marxist-Leninist and another 13
are considered "Socialist-
oriented," said Wettering.
Survey Cont.
The recent book drive for the
Peace Corps, sponsored by
Ix)ngwood College's chapter of
Alpha Phi Omega service
fraternity, yielded what can only
be described as a bounty.
A total of 4,327 usable books
were donated, plus some 400
magazines.
"We really appreciate the
generosity of the Farmville
community and the Longwood
organizations and students who
supported our project," said
Colleen Vaughan, Alpha Phi
Omega vice president for
service. "The response was just
great."
Members of the fraternity have
counted, sorted, and boxed the
books. Most of them will be
shipped to the Peace Corps
headquarters in Washington,
D.C., to be used by workers in
many countries in teaching
English.
"The national office of our
fraternity will pay the freight
charges to send the books by
U. P. S." Vaughan said.
Among the books were some
that, because of subject and
"really excellent condition," will
be offered to the Farmville-
Prince Edward Community
Library. "And we've decided to
give some of the magazines to
Eldercare, Holly Manor, and
other places in the community,"
Vaughan said.
The books for the Peace Corps
drive was a national Alpha Phi
Omega project. "It looks like our
chapter may be the top book
collector in the country,"
Vaughan said. "Another chapter
reports about two thousand books
collected, but that's way below
our total."
had little or no trust in these
professions.
Sixty-nine percent of the
students said religion was
important to varying degrees in
their lives, and 26 percent said
they attended religious services
at least once a week; 51 percent
attend at least once a month.
The survey also provided an
insight into financial habits of
students, including the fact that
48 percent live off campus, and in
effect run households.
Fifty percent of the
respondents get more than half of
their discretionary income from
their own earnings, and 58
percent of those said they earned
over $2,000 last year, while 25
percent earned over $5,000.
When it comes to discretionary
spending, 61 percent said they
had $100 per month or more to
spend. Nineteen percent in that
group has between $150-249 and
another 19 percent spend $250 or
more. Largest dollar
expenditures by students during
the school year were at the
college store, with a median of
$248.61.
Ninety-six percent said they
spent more money on clothing
during the past school year than
on any other category — with a
median expenditure of $187.40.
Four percent of all discretionary
income was spent on health and
beauty aids.
In other survey highlights, 56
percent have and use bank credit
cards, 41 percent have borrowed
money to attend college, and 86
percent have savings accounts.
College students are owners of
high-priced items as well:
Sixteen percent have a new car,
39 percent purchased a used car;
78 percent own a television set, 66
percent a stereo system; 36
percent a 35mm camera and 17
percent a computer.

Looking for a
few good men
Alumni volunteers can serve
their colleges and universities by
recruiting students, raising funds
and "interpreting the in-
stitution's mission" to the
legislature and the public, a
prominent college advancement
officer said at Longwood College
recently.
Dr. Robert E. Linson, vice
president for university relations
at Ball State University, spoke to
members of Longwood's Alumni
Council and Founders Day
Reunion Year committees on
Nov. 15.
A 31-year veteran of college
advancement work, he was one of
the founders of the Council for the
Advancement and Support of
Education (CASE). In 1984, he
received the Frank Ashmore
Award from CASE, the ad-
vancement profession's highest
honor.
Alumni volunteers can do more
than "just stuffing envelopes or
selling tickets," he said. "We
need to bring alumni together
and turn them loose. They have
all kinds of talent."
"We have to motivate volun-
teers. We have to find jobs that
reflect credit on the person, as
well as simply a job that needs to
be done. There's an old saying in
this work, 'Use me or lose me."'
Volunteerism among college
alumni is native to the United
States and is just starting to
catch on in other countries, he
said. Yale University formed a
class organization in 1792 and
Williams College formed the first
alumni association in 1821. The
University of Virginia was the
first public institution to form an
alumni association, in 1838.
"We have to challenge more
alumni into useful action. It's not
a spectator sport but a par-
ticipatory experience... And we
have to get them involved early,
because soon their loyalty will be
divided among many competing
institutions, such as the United
Way and the YMCA."
"Many alumni are more than
anxious to get involved — but
they have to be asked. It's like
raising money. If you don't ask
for it, you're not going to get it."
Dr. Linson has served many
times on the judging team for the
CASE-U.S. Steel Foundation
Alumni Fund awards. Last year,
Longwood received the first
place award for "Sustained
Performance in Alumni Giving"
for public institutions in that
competition, and was a finalist in
the "Improvement" category,
"Longwood is a good example
of a fairly small college that has
done a very good job of com-
municating with its alumni,
telling alumni their needs, and
bringing them in to look at the
future of Longwood College," he
said. "It's a pleasure to see that
kind of support."

Dr. Daniel Beaver, a prominent military historian, spoke
several times at Longwood recently. Dr. Beaver, a professor of
American history at the University of Cincinnati, is currently on
leave from UC and is doing research for the Pentagon's Center of
Military History. Dr. Beaver participated in the Vietnam Seminar
Nov. 18 that was sponsored by Dr. David Caliban; he gave a
public lecture that evening on "McKinley, Roosevelt and Wilson
as Commanders-in-Chief," and he spoke to classes of Dr. Jack

Of The Week!
1986-87 LONG WOOD GYMNASTICS TEAM - (front, 1 to r) : Head Coach Ruth Budd, Usa
Leali ( Student Assistant), Debbe Malin, Kim Both, Mary Schaefer, Lynda Chenoweth, Kelley Paz,
Kiersten Artese, Dawn Campbell (Student Coach). Back row: Robin White, Leslie Jaffee,
Monique Voehringer, Tammy Zeller, Amy Spiers, Teresa Robey, Kerri Hruby.
Change and consistency could
both be key words for the 1986-87
Longwood gymnastics team
which opens its season Saturday
with a meet at Radford with -
William & Mary. Starting time is
2:30.
The l.ancers will be competing
for the first time under United
States Gymnastics Federation
sponsorship, rather than under
the NCAA. Basically this means
that Regional and National
championships will be conducted
by the USGF, although the
change in affiliation will not
affect competition rules.
Another change win ue
characaterized by the absence of
two long-time I^ancer standouts.
Graduates Lisa Zuraw, last year-
's State vaulting champion and
the holder of I^ngwood's all-time
scorer for both vault and all-
around, and Kelly Strayer, two-
time Regional Champion and
second highest Longwood all-
around scorer, will both be
missed in the all-around area, as
well as in individual events.
With eight returning gymnasts,
however, including two seniors
and four juniors, coach Budd is
hoping for more consistency in
performance. Seniors Debbe
Malin and Kerri Hruby have had
three years of college
competition, and their
experience will definitely help.
Both gymnasts, in addition to
junior Tammy Zeller and
sophomores Lynda (Thenoweth
and Kim Booth, will be working
for all-around spots on the team.
Juniors Leslie Jaffee, Teresa
Robey, and Mary Schaefer round
out of the group of returnees as
event specialists.
Newcomer Kiersten Artese
who has competed in both club
and high school gymnastics,
could be a big plus for the
Lancers as an all-around.
Kiersten is especially strong in
floor and beam.
Sophomore Kelley Paz,
returning to gymnastics after a
semester's layoff, is also working
all four events, as are freshmen
Monique Voehringer and Robin
White. The list of newcomers is
completed with Amy Spiers, who
is concentrating primarily on
floor and beam.
Several of Longwood's
opponents have changed
divisions and will be competing
as Division I schools this year,
meaning that over half of the
I^ancers' competition will be
against Division I teams. Coach
Budd admits that this could make
things even tougher for the
Division II Longwood gymnasts.
"However," she points out,
"last year at the State
championships, we surprised
everyone (including ourselves!)
by defeating both Virginia
Division I teams, so that proves
the divisional classification does
not necessarily indicate
success!"
Freshman Kevin Jefferson led
Longwood's men's basketball
team to its first Par-Bil's Tip-Off
Tournament title November 21-22
and for his performance, the 6-4
eager has been named Longwood
College Player of the Week for
the period November 16-23.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
The tournament Most Valuable
Player, Jefferson scored 24
points in the Lancers' 104-56 win
over Newport News Apprentice
and came back with 20 points in
the team's 78-71 win over Queens
in the championship contest.
"Kevin's play was exceptional,
particularly for a freshman,"
said Longwood coach Cal Luther.
"He made several excellent
moves defensively, adjusting to
changing situations on the court.
If he continues to improve, Kevin
should be an outstanding college
player.
Sophomore guard Angee
Middleton scored 20 points and
hit two clutch free throws to
clinch a 60-59 women's basketball
win over Hampton University
last Monday, and for her per-
formance, she has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period November
23-30. Player of the Week is
chosen by the Longwood sports
information office.
A much improved 5-6 eager,
Middleton went to the line with no
time showing on the clock and
Longwood trailing Hampton 5^
58. She calmly hit both ends of a
two-shot opportunity to give the
Lady Lancers a 60-59 victory.
She finished with 20 points, hit
eight of eight free throws and
handed out four assists in the
upset win.
Currently averaging 16 points
per game, Middleton has earned
a spot in the starting lineup.
Soccer Wins State
VISA champion Longwood,
which beat Christopher-Newport
2-1 November 19 for the state
title, has landed three players on
the first team and three on the
second team in the Virginia Inter-
collegiate Soccer Association All-
State selections.
Junior back Jeff Robinson was
the leading vote-getter on the
squad with 73 points, while
Uncer teammates Mike Edge
and John Barone also made the
first team. Edge is a midfiedlder
while Barone plays forward.
Robinson had two assists and
three goals, Barone six assists
and 10 goals and Edge two assists
and six goals as Longwood
finished up 13-5-2 and ranked 14th
in Division II.
Making the second team for
Longwood were goalkeeper Dave
Goerke back Erick Karn and
midfielder Mahfoud Kyoud.

Longwood played well at home
in last Tuesday's 93-82 win over
Guilford as Monroe (26 points),
Rutley (25) and Jefferson (21) led
the way. Ricks contributed eight
points, 10 assists and six steals
and freshman Doug Poppe came
off the bench in relief of Kearney
to grab 10 rebounds and score six
J points. The win stretched the
current home court win streak to
12 in a row.
The Lancers began their
season by winning the Par-Bil's
Tip-Off Tournament title
November 21-22 in Lancer Hall.
Getting great balance from its
starting five, Longwood beat
Newport News Apprentice 104-56
and Queens 78-71 to win the
tourney title. Queens advanced to
the finals with a 74-67 win over
Bloomsburg, which beat Newport
News 79-70 in overtime to take
third place.
Jefferson took Most Valuable
Player honros and was joined by
three teammates on the All-
Tournament team. He scored 24
points in the opening win and
came back with 20 in the
championship. The freshman
also came up with two big steals
when Longwood took control of
the championship game in the
second half.
Kearney dominated play in the
first half against Queens, helping
the Lancers take a 46-39 lead. The
6-6 senior had 23 rebounds 27
points in the two games. Monroe
had 13 points the first night, but
really found his shooting touch in
the second half against Queens,
popping in 16 points and scoring a
game-high 26 for the night. The 6-
0 junior also fed Jefferson for an
alley-oop dunk which ignited the
Lancer faithful.
Rutley scored 26 points in his
debut and tallied 14 in the
championship game. He also had
17 rebounds in the two games. He
hit 12 of 15 shots from the floor
and grabbed 11 rebounds against
the Shipbuilders. The 6-4 junior
showed no ill effects from a
year's layoff after transferring to
Longwood from Monmouth.
Ricks handed out nine assists
and made but one turnover in the
title game. The 6-3 guard also
played excellent defense.
Longwood actually held a 78^7
lead over Queens with under five
minutes to go, before the Knights
closed fast with a 14-0 run at the
end.

Boosted by a thrilling 60-59 win
over Hampton University last
Tuesday, Longwood's women's
basketball team hosts Navy
Tuesday night at 7:30 and plays
in the Elon College Tournament
Friday and Saturday in action
this week.
It will be Faculty-Staff
Appreciation Night Tuesday
when the Naval Academy comes
to town. All Longwood faculty
and staff and their families will
be admitted free to the contest.
Longwood, now 1-1, will face
Concord College in the first round
of the Elon Tournament Friday
night at 6:30 in Burlington, N.C.,
with the host Christians taking on
Methodist at 8:00. The cham-
pionship game is set for 3:00
Saturday afternoon with the third
place contest at 1:30.
Coach Shirley Duncan got some
bad news last week when she
learned that junior center Barbie
Burton will be out of action from
four to six weeks with a badly
sprained left knee. Burton, a 6-2
junior from Yorktown High
School, injured her knee in last
Monday's win over Hampton.
"Losing Barbie reduces our
depth inside," said Duncan. "She
has been a solid player for us
coming off the bench. Dee
McDaniels may see more action
now."
McDaniels is a 6-0 freshman
who has seen only limited playing
time thus far.
Tuesday night, Longwood will
likely go with a starting lineup of
Caren Forbes and Angee Mid-
dleton at the guards, Kita
Chambers and Sandy Rawdon at
the forwards and Karen Boska at
center.
Middleton and Boska are
averaging 16 points per game to
lead the Lady Lancers thus far.
Boska is pulling down 11
rebounds per contest and
Chambers is averaging 10 points
and eight rebounds.
Longwood's final game before
exams will be at Virginia
Commonwealth next Tuesday
(Dec. 9).

Number Eleven
Longwood Students Study Abroad
Some Longwood College
students did something last
summer other than work a
temporary job or acquire a tan.
Several went to a bullfight and
the famous Prado art museum in
Madrid, others visited the Black
Forest in Germany, and one
picnicked in France's cave
region and toured the Ix)uvre in
Paris.
Eight students took part in a
four-week program at the
University of Madrid in Spain.
Two others studied at the Goethe
Institute in West Germany for
eight weeks. Another studied at
the University of Toulouse in
France for about a month.
The study-abroad programs,
which focus on language and
culture, are part of Longwood's
emphasis on international
awareness.
"Ever>'body should go to a
foreign country at least once,"
said Laurie McManaway, a
senior from Bedford who went to
Madrid. "You'll learn to
appreciate this country even
more, because we're so fortunate
here."
Students at the University of
Madrid, among them sophomore
Rick Osbom of Farmville, took
two courses, which included
language, art at the Prado, and
international public relations.
They also went to a bullfight in
which a matador was hurled into
the air, toured the Prado — which
has works by Picasso, Goya and
El Greco — and went to villages
in southern Spain. In Granada,
they saw the Alhambra, a famous
14th-century Moorish palace.
Spaniards are a friendly,
sociable people who like to go to
discotheques and bars in the
evening, but public drunkenness
is almost unheard of, the students
say.
"They're carefree," said Susan
Alonso, a junior from Miami.
"Whatever happens tomorrow,
happens tomorrow. They care
only about today. They're not
ruled by the clock like we are.
They might go out partying and
get only three hours' sleep before
having to go to work the next
day."
One cultural difference is that
Spanish women almost never
wear shorts or jeans. "That's
why I stuck out like a sore
thumb; I was wearing jeans,"
said Alonso, whose grandparents
were native Spaniards and whose
has taught there and also is a

parents intmiigrated to the U.S.
from Cuba. "In Spain, even if
you're poor, you dress well."
When she wore shorts one day,
McManaway was scolded by an
elderly Spanish woman who
considered her "very immoral."
Oddly, though, topless sun-
bathing is commonplace. "At an
apartment pool one day, only
myself and another American
were wearing tops,"
McManaway said. "We were
stared at because we were
different. We felt weird."
Dr. Maria Silveira, a Longwood
Spanish professor, has taught at
the University of Madrid the past
two years and is one of the
program's directors. Her
brother-in-law. Dr. Jorge
Silveira, who teaches at
Hampden^Sydney College, also
Germany, about 20 miles from
the French and Swiss borders.
"The people there were very
friendly and eager to please,"
said Hruby, a senior from EUicott
City, Md. "I went horseback
riding, saw a jumping
competition and watched the
World Cup soccer final (West
Germany lost to Argentina) in a
German home... The local wine
was excellent, because Staufen is
in a wine-growing region."
While the Madrid students
stayed at a dormitory with other
American students, Hruby was
lodged in a German home with an
international flavor. She shared a
room with a Brazilian girl; two
students from Togo and Panama
lived in the basement; and the
German host and hostess didn't
speak English.
graduating next year, Hruby will
marry in July and move to
Bitburg.
Craig Hardy, a senior from
Midlothian, studied at the
University of Toulouse, located in
a city of 900,000 in southern
France. Longwood is one of three
American colleges that has an
exchange agreement with the
University.
"Toulouse is kind of like the
(American) South," said Hardy,
one of only five students in his
class. "People are friendly and
open and hospitable. They have
less exposure to Americans than
people in Paris. They're not sick
of us."
With fellow Americans and
French citizens, he went on
picnics in the nearby Ix)t River
Valley, which is famous for its
caves that contain prehistoric
artwork. He spent three days in
Paris, went to Lyon to meet a pen
pal he had corresponded with for
four years, and visited a family in
Montargis he stayed with during
a trip to France in 1982.
All but one of the students are
fluent in their chosen foreign
language and they were pleased
with their ability to
communicate. There were some
minor problems, though.
Debbie Jessup, a senior from
Richmond, said the taxicab
drivers in Madrid were difficult
to understand because they use a
lot of slang. Osbom has some
trouble shopping for clothes
because all the measurements
are in metric.
"One day I was shopping for a
sweater and I couldn't remember
the verb for 'to put on,'" he
recalled. "I used the wrong verb
— 'to take out,' or something like
that. Eventually, the saleslady
understood what I was trying to
say and corrected me."
Osbom missed American food.
"Spanish food has a lot of garlic
and we got sick of French fries,
which they served us every day. I
ate at McDonald's two or three
times. They also have a Burger
King, a Wendy's and a pizza
parlor in Madrid."
Patty Fishback, a senior from
Lovingston who went to Madrid,
speaks little Spanish but picked
some up. "It comes to you,
because you hear it all the time,"
she said. "I tried to communicate
in Spanish — and that helped."
By going to a foreign country,
said Osborn, "you definitely
catch an ear for the language.
Even if you don't improve your
speech, you improve your
comprehension."
McManaway credits the
international public relations
course she took with giving her a
new perspective. "You leam not
to judge other cultures, you leam
to understand other cultures. The
first week there, I went through
culture shock. I made the
mistake of judging their culture.
It was kind of bumpy at first, but
I had a wonderful time.''
Page 2 The Rotunda
A Word From
The New Editor
First of all, I would like to express how excited I am to be the
new editor of the Rotunda. I hope to innovate many new ideas into
the paper that will satisfy the needs of the students, faculty and
administration of the college. Next, I want to 'explain a simple
principle of life: Things do not change, unless you make them
change. The administration and faculty can't read the minds of the
students, nor can the students read their minds.
Surveys are not another way to add to your pile of monotonous
work. Ms. Mable and her staff do not make up these things as a new
form of cruel and unusual punishment. It isn't to keep you from soap
operas or partying. If a complaint or suggestion isn't heard, nothing
can be done about it. An example of this is the dining hall service. I
have only been here two and a half years, but the dining hall has
improved immensely. I was so excited to have chunky blue cheese
other than the kind that squirts out like ketchup. These changes
occurred because students voiced their opinions. If you don't like
family style, tell them. If you do like family style, tell them.
Last week Sheri Nunn, Longwood's nutritionist and lower dining
hall manager, came to the Ambassador meeting and spoke on
nutrition. She asked for suggestions about the dining hall, and she
got them. Maybe all the suggestions won't materialize (I don't think
Bob Smith will get his sushi bar), but maybe some will.
Janet Greenwood holds open forums concerning different issues
to receive input from everyone. Only a handful of students show up
to voice their opinions, and this does not represent the school. S.G.A.
is another vice. Meetings are held every Thursday night at 6:00 p.m.
at Lankford in the Leadership Conference Room. Remember, the
students elected the members of S.G.A. Writing editorials to the
Rotunda is another way to voice views for everyone. If you don't like
something, say so, and maybe it will change. If you do like
something, say so, and it might stay.

CAMPUS NOTES
Delta's
Honored
ByJEFFALLGOR
This past weekend Skip
Winchester, Jamie Faison, John
Dennis, Jeff AUgor and Bob
Smith from the Zeta Mu Chapter
of Delta Sigma Phi attended the
East Coast Leadership
conference at N.C. State in
Raleigh, N.C. The conference
included a chartering of a new
colony and seminars on issues
such as legal liabilities and anti-
hazing.
At the awards banquet,
Longwood's Greek Man of the
Year for 1986, Bob Smith, was
awarded Delta Sigma Phi's
Outstanding Active of the Year.
This award is given to only two
brothers across the country out of
all current actives (12,000). Bob
also was honored with an Order
of the Sphinx Medallion for
service to his college and his
fraternity.
The Zeta Mu chapter
announced that they will host the
Spring Conclave here at
Ix)ngwood College. Delta's from
all over the east coast will attend
this gala weekend event. The
Deltas expect approximately 300
brothers to participate in this
I^eadership Retreat.
Silberman
Photographs and mixed media
works by Rebecca Silberman are
featured in the Showcase Gallery
(1st floor hallway, Bedford)
through Dec. 12. Ms. Silberman
completed requirements for the
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree,
cum laude, from Longwood this
past summer. She is now taking
advanced courses in French at
the College and plans to begin
graduate school next fall to
pursue the Master of Fine Arts
degree in painting. Her exhibit
includes more than 30 recent
works, many of which are for
sale.
Math
Winners
Ty Bordner and Kevin Spencer
were the winners of two math
contests sponsored recently by
the Mathematics and Computer
Science department.
Bordner, a math major from
Hemdon, won the contest for
students in calculus and above,
which was the higher-level
contest. He received a check for
$75.
Kevin Spencer, an elementary
education major from Lexington,
Ky., won the contest for the level
below calculus. He also took
home a $75 check.
The two contests, held Nov. 6,
drew 28 participants and were
designed to generate interest in
mathematics. They featured
challenging problems posed by
math professors. A similar
contest was held last spring.
In the contest won by Bordner,
Philip Sprinkle was second,
Grace Vanhouten was third and
Jennifer Swann was fourth.
In the other contest, Allen
Fountain and Pat Holland tied for
second, Mary Dickerson was
fourth, Vicki Francis was fifth
and Matt Morgan was sixth.

On His
Toes
By Mama Hunger
Through an exchange-grant
program. Dr. Nelson Neal and his
family recently spent time
teaching at Jyvaskyla
University, Finland.
Neal, who has been Longwood's
Dance Company Director for the
past four years, was in Finland
January 28-August 28 teaching
modern dance, dance
choreography and dance in
education. Mrs. Marna Neal
taught conversational English to
sophomores while their IQ-year-
old daughter attended the
Normal School.
Jyvaskyla University has the
only physical education major in
the nation. Dr. Neal found the
university students were hard
workers. They were more skilled
in dance because they were P.E.
majors; unlike Longwood's
dance classes which have various
majors fulfilling general
education requirements.
The current members of the
Dance Company are Kelly
Shannon, President, Sandi Dovel,
Amy Harrell, Kim O'Conner,
Kim Cecil and Taddy Espigh.
New members include Allison
Cole, Alison Miller and Susan
Hanks.
Next semester Tammy Tipton
will take over as Dance Company
Director. She plans to hold
tryouts January 19-21 from 3:30-5
p.m. in the dance studio. All
interested males and females
should watch for upcoming
information on the Company.
After finishing at Jyvaskyla,
Dr. Neal spent 12 weeks at the
Normal School teaching 2nd-6th
graders modem dance. He also
taught four dance workshops for
kids in another small city.
After finishing teaching, the
Neal family spent the last two
and one-half months sightseeing
in 14 European countries before
returning to Longwood.

Longwood Football?
By MICHELLE HUMMER
Ix)ngwood Football 10-0. You
have seen the bumper stickers
and, of course, the I>ongwood
Football jerseys. It's a big joke,
I>ongwood vs. UCLA, home, be
there! It takes a lot more than
stickers and t-shirts to make a
football team, though.
In order to form a football
team, Ix)ngwood must institute a
five-year plan for athletes. The
plan is being considered by the
Intercollegiate Athletic
Committee which began
reviewing the college's athletic
program last spring. Since the
addition of men to the campus in
1976, however, the subject of
football has not even been
formally discussed as a
possibility. The plan is being
considered more for the existing
sports at Longwood.
Along with the five-year plan,
Ijongwood needs a stadium, not to
mention a place to put one. The
soccer field could be transformed
into a multi-purpose stadium, but
parking would be a major
problem. Longwood has limited
parking already.
Finally, in order to get a
football team at Longwood off the
ground, a mere 2 million dollars
must be raised through private
gifts and increased student fees.
With only 2,789 students, a
football program will increase
tuition by more than 700 dollars.
If, by some small miracle, we
do get the funds, stadium, and the
approval for a football team it
will take a number of years to get
a full schedule of games. The
college's size and location limit it
to Division II and Division III. If
a Division II team, Longwood will
offer football scholarships,
requiring more funds. Most
likely, the team will be Division
III, offering no scholarships, but
traveling great distances for
games. Most Division III teams
in Virginia are in conferences
and are locked into schedules for
up to five years. So as a Division
III team, Longwood will play
teams from nearby states. In the
end, scheduling could be the
biggest headache.
The decision to create a
football team at Longwood
College will come only after a
careful study of the value of such
a major step. As you see, the
sides are about even:
Pros
-(- positive effect on enrollment
+ increased school spirit
+ profit from home games
Cons
+ increased tuition
-f parking problems
+ loss from home games
At this point, the fate of
Longwood College Football is in
the students' hands. It will take
much work, money, and time, but
in the end, the addition of football
could put Longwood College on
the map.
This Longwood student was among 149 persons who gave blood
during a recent bloodmobile in Lankford. The six-hour blood-
mobile, held Dec. 3, was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, a service
fraternity. The group sponsors a bloodmobile every year.
Longwood faculty, staff and students were among the donors, who
included 23 persons giving blood for the first time.

T'was the night before Break
And all through the college,
Every student was stirring,
At least to my knowledge.
All the rooms were set up in Holiday cheer,
In hopes that the decorations would bring Christmas more near.
The books were stacked up under everyone's beds
And visions of real sleep and food danced in their heads.
When suddenly there arose such a noise,
Every girl ran to the window to see if there were Hampden-
Sydney boys,
They opened the windows — and what should appear?
But 20 hungry Deltas coming too near.
"My God, my hair!", all the girls screamed in fright.
And they ran to the mirrors to see their sight.
While the Deltas just stood there singing in line
Wondering just what the girls had in mind.
Not a word said the girls, but they went straight to work.
They flew back to the windows and decided not to flirt!
They closed the windows and pulled dovm the shades.
But even with this action
The Deltas were not phased.
Together they went and ascended the stairs
And came face to face with the girls' glares.
The girls cried, "We want respect, more than a one night stand.
We want conversations not just the feel of your hand! "
So out with you boys, out with you all
Dash away, dash away, dash away all! "
Dumfounded the boys left, (they decided not to fight)
They went back to their rooms
Alone for the night.
And as they walked the girls heard them cry,
"Gee, Longwood girls have feelings too.
And not just nice thighs!"

Smith in Japan
Longwood women's golf coach,
Dr. Barbara Smith, left Fdday
for Japan and the 12th NCAA-
sponsored United States-Japan
golf competition.
Dr. Smith will be coaching the
U.S. team of Florida's Page
Dunlap, New Mexico's Caroline
Keggi and Kentucky's Kate
Rogerson. The U.S. contingent,
which also includes a men's team
coached by Wake Forest's Jesse
Haddock, arrived in Japan
Sunday.
After two days of practice, the
teams will engage in match play
against their Japanese opponents
for three days and return to the
United States December 14.
Dr. Smith is the first coach of a
non-Division I team to be chosen
to lead the U.S. Women's group in
the competition. She is
recognized as one of the top
women's golf coaches in the
country.
Chenowith
Paces Gymnasts
a
Coach of the Year
By RICK RIVERA
The Longwood gymnastics
team traveled to Radford
Saturday to participate in a tri-
meet along with the Highlanders
and William & Mary. The
lancers placed third, but coach
Ruth Budd expected the outcome
under the circumstances.
Being Division I schools,
Radford and William and Mary
were able to compete under
different rules. For the two
Division I colleges the
competition was basically a
scrimmage. Radford and
William & Mary were able to
enter all their gymnasts and then
choose the top six scorers to
represent them. Longwood, on
the other hand, had to designate
six representatives beforehand.
The lancers top scorer was
Lynda Chenoweth with an all-
around score of 32.75 for seventh
place out of 14. Chenoweth placed
third on the beam with 8.6 and
was Longwood 's highest finisher
on bars with an 8.05.
Kiersten Artese had a good
showing, capturing fourth on the
vault with an 8.55 and was the
Lancers' top floor gymnast with a
7.95. The judges, as a rule, were
not very generous on floor
exercise.
Overall, coach Budd felt that it
was an excellent opportunity for
the Lancers to see exactly how
much work they must do.
Longwood soccer coach Rich
Posipanko has been voted
Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer
Association "Coach of the Year"
for the second time in his career.
The honor was voted by the VISA
coaches.
Posipanko, who led Longwood
to its third state title in five years
this fall, has an outstanding 88-41-
18 record in eight years with the
Lancers. He guided LC to a 13-5-2
mark and a 14th place national
ranking in Division IL Longwood
upset Christopher-Newport 2-1 in

"It gave our freshmen their
first look at collegiate
gymnastics and 1 think that will
help us work harder," said Budd.
Coach Budd said that due to
limited access time in the gym to
work on these skills, longwood
goes into meets with schools that
can practice five days a week on
the floor as compared to the
Lancers' two.
Coach Budd was not surprised
with the outcome of the meet and
expects her team to improve. She
was pleased with all the
performances and is looking
forward to the upcoming meets.

Boska Leads Lady Netters To Victory
Sparked by the outstanding
play of center Karen Boska,
Longwood's women's basketball
team won two of three games last
week. The I^dy Lancers split two
games in the Elon Tournament,
losing to eventual champ
Concord 82-67 Friday and
clubbing Methodist 70-49
Saturday. Longwood beat Navy
70^5 last Tuesday.
This week Longwood visits
Virginia Commonwealth
Tuesday night at 7:30 to
complete the 1986 part of the
schedule. The Lady Lancers
won't play again until January 10
when Pembroke visits.
Men's Basketball
Ties Record
Longwood's men's basketball
team tied the school record for
consecutive homecourt wins over
the weekend, beating visiting
New York Tech 94-55 Friday and
St. Thomas 86-76 Saturday in the
Central Virginia Doubleheader.
The 5-1 Lancer cagers are off to
their best start since the 1979-80
team began the season 12-0. The
'7*^ club ended up 28-3 and
fourth in Division IIL Saturday,
Longwood tied the record for
consecutive home wins (14) set
by the '79-80 and '80-81 teams.
Longwood has not lost at home
since December 9, 1985.
Liberty University also won its
two games in the second Central
Virginia Doubleheader, beating
St. Thomas 87-61 and New York
Tech 74-48.
This week Longwood closes out
its 1986 schedule, hosting
Pembroke Monday (today) and
visiting Virginia Wesleyan
Wednesday for a 7:30 contest.
The Lancers will break for exams
and Christmas before resuming
play January 3 at home against
Tiffin.
A practice injury suffered by
guard Bobby Dobson has
weakened Longwood's bench.
Dobson, a sophomore, cracked a
bone in his right wrist last week
and is questionable for this
week's action. He is one of the
team's top ball-handlers.
The Lancers got solid
contributions from all five
starters and the bench in beating
New York Tech and St. Thomas.
Leading scorer Art Monroe
pumped in 26 points, Darryl
Rutley had 20 and Kevin
Jefferson 18 in a hard-fought win
over St. Thomas Saturday night.
LONGWOOD LEADER — Lancer eager Art Monroe (34) goes
high for 2 of his 26 points Saturday night against St. Thomas.
Center Quintin Kearney
dominated the inside with eight
points, 11 rebounds, four blocked
shots and ifve assists. Senior
guard Kevin Ricks had another
solid game with 10 points, four
assists and three steals.
Longwood led most of the way
against St. Thomas, but had to
survive a 28-point performance
by BolKat guard Mike Dean. The
Lancers led by just 68-65 with
alwut seven minutes left, but
went on an 8-1 tear to go up 76^
with three minutes remaining.
Monroe, in his top performance
to date, had six assists, five
rebounds and made seven of
eight free throws. Monroe, Ricks,
Rutley and Jefferson played 39
minutes each.
All 10 Lancers scored in
Friday's 94-55 win over New York
Tech. Jefferson led the way with
24 points, followed by Monroe
with 18 and Kearney with 14
points (7-8 field goals), 10
rebounds and four blocked shots.
Monroe scored eight points in a
17-3 Longwood run at the
beginning of the game which
pretty much settled the issue.
Ricks, who is averaging nearly
six assists and more than three
steals per game, had seven
assists in 28 minutes against New
York Tech. The 6-3 guard has
made just over two turnovers per
game. Eric Pittman and Doug
Poppe came off the bench to
score eight points each.
Monroe is Longwood's scoring
leader at 19.8 ppg., followed by
Jefferson (18.7), Rutley (14.8),
Kearney (11.7) and Ricks (5.8).
Kearney is pulling down 9.8
rebounds per contest and has
blocked 14 shots.
Longwood coach Cal Luther
has been extremely pleased with
his team's play thus far.
"We've made some mistakes,
but we're working hard and
improving," said the coach. "In
the St. Thomas game we had to
make some shots and play tough
defense under pressure. It was a
good test for us.
"Kearney has done a
tremendous job for us inside,"
continued the coach. "He has
blocked 12 shots in our last three
games and has dominated the
boards also."
Boska's play has been a
highlight of the season thus far
and last week was no exception.
The 6-1 center has had double
figures in both points and
rebounds in four of Longwood's
five games.
Against Navy she had 16 points
and 15 rebounds, against Concord
15 points and 10 rebounds and in
the win over Methodist she had 18
points and 16 rebounds. Boska is
averaging 16.4 points and 12.6
rebounds while shooting an eye-
popping 58.7 percent from the
floor.
"She is playing the best of her
career," said coach Shirley
Duncan. "She has been
extremely consistent in
sustaining a high level of play."
Duncan attributes Boska's play
to maturity and to the senior co-
captain's desire to be a leader.
"Karen is undertaking the
leadership role that she must
take for us to be successful,"
explained the coach. "She had
also been working hard to
improve her game."
It was Boska and sophomore
Sandy Rawdon who led the
victory over Navy. Rawdon
scored a career high 26 points and
pulled down six rebounds.
Forward Kita Chambers added
14 points and eight rebounds.
Against Concord Friday night
in the first round of the Elon
Tournament Longwood trailed by
just 39-35 at the half before losing
82-67. Second half foul
problems and inexperience off

Karen Boska
the bench hampered LC in the
second period.
"We didn't shoot very well,"
said Duncan. "We had problems
from the free throw line (5-12)
and the floor (31-75), We missed a
lot of layups and short jumpers."
In addition to Boska's 15 points
and 10 rebounds, I^ongwood got 16
points from Angee Middleton, 14
from Caren Forbes and 10 points
from both Rawdon and
Chambers.
Backing up Boska in
Saturday's win over Methodist
were Forbes with 10 points and
six assists and Middleton with 10
points. Concord defeated Elon 70-
61 to win the tournament
championship.
Player of the Week
Junior guard Art Monroe
scored 44 points in two Longwood
basketball victories last week
and led the Lancers to their 14th
straight win at home, tying a
school record. For his
performance, Monroe has been
named Longwood College Player
of the Week for the period
November 30 - December 7.
Player of the Week is picked by
Ix)ngwood sports information.
Monroe scored 26 points in
Saturday's 86-76 win over St.
Thomas and 18 the night before in
a 94-55 triumph over New York
Tech. For the week, the 6-0 guard
hit 18 of 34 shots from the floor,
seven of eight free throws,
grabbed 11 rebounds, handed out
10 assists and collected six steals.
"Art played super over the
weekend," said Lancer coach Cal
Luther. "WHe hit some really big
shots for us, particularly in the
win over St. Thomas. He has
made tremendous improvement
in his defense since the season
began. His scoring has been a key
factor in our early season
success."
Longwood's leading scorer
with 19.8 ppg. average, Monroe
has scored 26 points on three
occasions thus far. He has also
accumulated 22 rebounds, 18
assists, and 12 steals.

LONGWOOD'S WEEK IN THE
ByMATTPETERMAN
A second large snowstorm
buried the Longwood Campus
after more than 10 inches of snow
fell Sunday night and Monday
morning. The college
subsequently closed cancelling
all classes on Monday and early
classes Tuesday.
The problem of clearing the
snow remained critical, but
difficult because of the amount of
aiow that had fallen. The parking
lots were left unplowed as the
main arteries of the campus were
cleared in an attempt to connect
it to the rest of the town. The
crews received some
encouragement as the sun came
out late Monday afternoon.
The first snow.storm began
Wednesday night and continued
into Thursday morning. It was
classified as one of the major
storms to hit Longwood this
decade causing the closure of the
college.
The snowstorm stranded many
students who ordinarily would
have ventured home for the

W
weekend. The record number of
students burdened the dining hall
and other services because of the
shortage of employees able to
come to work.
For many students who missed
classes on Friday, for whatever
reason, relaxed with a five aay
weekend which was mixed with
snowball fights, football, and
parties that in one instance left
Par-Bils void of beer. Having so
much time on hand many
students caught up with school
work that somehow had piled up
in days past.
The year 1987 will be
remembered by many as a year
that began with bad weather.
That would seem accurate for the
college again is preparing itself
for yet another snowstorm
expected to hit toward the end of
the week. The fun that was
accompanied with the first storm
is dying down with each
additional storm that comes
turning the expected snow into a
new nightmare.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Many issues were discussed in the President's Advisory Committee last
Wednesday morning. One of these topics concerned changing the name of
Longwood College to Longwood University. I disagreed with the fact that it
should be changed. As an Ambassador, I find that many of the prospective
students who come to Longwood for tours, spring weekend or Oktoberfest, come
here because of the fact that we are a "small college." This is one reason why
students pick Longwood over JMU or Tech. Of course, the size of the school will
not change because of the name, but the word "university" gives an implication
of this. I, as many other students did, chose Longwood because it is small.
Another problem with this name change is Alumni. When I call alumni for
donations, many older women will not donate because Longwood is now co-ed.
Changing the name is going to add to this problem. Since we are only given 40
percent of our funds by the state, we can't afford to lose anymore money. A point
was brought up that it will look better on transcripts and resumes. This may be
true to some extent, but an employer is more interested in your G.P.A. and ex-
tra-curricular activities.
This change will cost students money because of the changes that have to be
made, such as the name changed on books, manuals, handbooks, paperwork, etc.
Longwood is a small college in a small town, that is the way it should remain.
Kim Setzer, Editor-in-Chief
Frankly Speaking Ui/lii^dnt^ to The Editor:
This letter is in response to the
article on S-UN. My main con-
cern is what was written in bold
print that read "HELP US
BRING THE TYPES OF EN-
TERTAINMENT THAT
STUDENTS WANT TO SEE!"
What's the use? Most of the
students in S-UN will listen and
try to accomplish something
when an idea is presented, but
their director, Paul Striffolino,
doesn't seem open-minded
enough to try new ideas or even
old ones which are still good.
For example, the Voltage
Brothers are a good dance band
who can pack the Lower Dining
Hall. They will no longer be here
because of too much exposure. If
they draw a large crowd year
after year and S-UN makes
money on them, why cancel? The
Romantics were booked for
Longwood last year. No one
knows for sure what happened,
but S-UN members have told me
that Mr. Striffolino cancelled
them because Longwood students
wouldn't like them. How does he
know? He does deserve credit for
booking of the Bangles, but much
more needs to be accomplished.
He's asking for leaders to take
charge of the
•'REFRIGERATOR COMMI-
TTEE"? Who wants to work with
refrigerators? Not I. Bands like
False Dimitri that play in the
Lancer cafe are great. S-UN
won't talk to them. They pack
Lancer cafe almost every time
they play. They could possibly
even make S-UN a little money.
Has anyone seen any surveys
asking for advice on bands,
mixers, etc.? Maybe when then S-
UN decides to listen or ask
questions themselves, more
students will probably be willing
to offer their help.

To the Editor:
Do you wonder, as I do whether
we will get through the 80's
without a major war? Great
powers as well as small powers
are now locked into hostile
"action-reaction" cycles that
threaten deadly games of
military "chicken" where no side
could say there is a winner. But
the thing that worries me most
about recent world geopolitical
events is that people are starting
to get nationalistic again.
Nationalism divides, it in-
furiates, it causes blindness and
righteousness ... it creates the
nonsense that (jod is on our side.
It is an illusion of sacredness.
Nationalism is cultic in nature.
And like any pseudo-religion, it
demands the avoidance of reason
in favor of faith that there needn't
be any reason.
But in the recent re-birth of
patriotism a new mentality has
emerged. Grandpa used to say he
went off to World War I just so
my father would not have to go
off to war. Then my father went
off to World War II so my brother
would not have to go off to war.
And my brother went off to war
perhaps so that his son will not
have to go off to war. A terrible,
vicious cycle and I ask when will
it all end? Somewhere though, in
the last decade things have
become confused and somehow,
unexplainably, the contention has
now reversed. Today, I hear
fellows say they will go off to
fight because their grandfather,
father, and brother have fought.
Somehow these young people feel
ashamed that they might miss
their own chance to experience
war as a right of passage. How
could this be happening? How
could the young people so directly
miss the point of those who have
seen war, know it, and abhor it?
Could a father actually want his
son to go experience war simply
because he chose to? Have we
learned nothing?
Nationalism is actually wor-
ship of the dead. The alive and
the unborn are sacrificed on the
holy alters of the nationalistic.
The modem nationalist pledges
his allegiance to the past and
contempt for the future.
Do not get me wrong. This
country is a sort of oasis in the
world, but nevertheless it is a
weird place too. We are one of the
richest and most democratic
nations in history. But what have
we done with our money? There
are millions of malnourished
people in our own country, there
are thousands of pockets of
poverty, there are hundreds of
horrible ghettos. How many
people are pathetically dying;
and others bearing children on
soiled bedsheets, how many are
crying, feeling hopeless, lost and
afraid in our own country? Is
there no time for them? People
are suffering every day from
problems which are barelv even
recognized, much less attended
to. Nationalism creates the
illusion that we can control the
momentum of the globe, when we
cannot even control the plight of
our own inner cities. We convince
ourselves that "inner cities" are
not the problems we should be
worrying about and that
domestic affairs halfway across
the globe are.
And what of democracy? We
have systematically mistreated
every minority group that has
come to America hoping to find
democracy. We have allowed the
general interest of all citizens to
fade away in the face of private
and government interest steadily
polluting our water, our air, our
land, our rights and our minds.
Nationalism bends reality,
distorts the world and creates
illusions. Nationalism allows
room for paranoia and paranoid-
types to roam openly and argue
"doomsday scenarios" until they
have set the agenda for the rest of
us. We begin to feel the fear and
then we too embrace the self-
fulfilling prophecy.
Today's nationalists are flag
prostitutes. They blame their
over consuming prosperity on
their country when it is a result of
greed. "Patriotic sacrifices" are
not made out of love or pride, but
out of hate and fear. It seems to
me the nationalist's vision has
been too narrow.
I realize that it is naive to think
our society will ever be perfect.
That is not the challenge. But we
should hear the call of the
Impossible Dream and take it
seriously. We should be striving
to make our society as perfect as
possible. Perfection may not be
attainable, but through
nationalism, violence and world
disintegration are. I urge you to
be on the look-out for the flag
prostitute. They are fanatical,
irrational and unpredictable. And
they are armed.

AIDS Victiins Increasing
By MEUSSA GIBBS
Can AII% victims transmit the
disease through casual contacts
such as food handling, sharing a
swinimmg pool, coughing, or
sneezing? In a symposium on
Tuesday, January 20, Doctor
Richard Keeling, Director of
Student Health at the University
of Virginia and head of the Task
Force on AIDS Education,
dispelled the above and other
myths about the seemingly
mysterious disease which
entered the United States in 1981.
Though AIDS poses a serious,
threatening problem with its
30,000 and rising cases in the
U.S., Keeling emphasized that
the public should not resort to
panic and hysteria.
According to Keeling, one
cannot contract AIDS through
casual contacts. Rather, the
means of exposure to AIDS
include sexual contact of any
kind, needle sharing, and
transfusion of contaminated
blood products. About 66 percent
of AIDS victims are men who
have had sex with other men at
least once since 1977; however,
Keeling warned that the rate of
heterosexual transmissions is
rising rapidly. A main danger lies
in the fact that many carriers do
not know that they have been
exposed to AIDS because AIDS
shows no symptoms during its
most contagious phase. As a
result of AIDS long incubation
period of six months to six years,
college students may be exposed
to the disease and infected,
developing symptoms much
later. Keeling suggested that
condoms provide some protection
but maintained that honesty with
one's sexual partner gives the
best assurance of preventing
AIDS' spread.
Keeling also discussed the
treatment of AIDS patients and
the search for a vaccine. Doctors
currently administer the drug
AZT to stabilize the ilbess and
prolong the victim's life. While
intensive research suggests that
scientists will develop a vaccine
within five or six years,
pharamaceutical companies will
refuse to manufacture the
vaccine instead of risking the
possibility of lawsuits with
enormous monetary awards.
Parking Lot Monoply
By MATT PETERMAN
The growing parking problem
at Longwood College is forcing
Administrators to drastically
search for solutions, that will last
in the years to come. With
enrollment to increase next
semester, the problem promises
more complication if something
is not done in the near future.
The proposed parking lots
planned for Franklin and Race
streets had to be put on hold after
residents voiced their com-
plaints. "Questions were raised
by town and college officials
about whether we ought to ap-
proach ... (the parking problem)
in a piecemeal process," said Mr.
Hurley, Vice President for
Business Affairs. The school is in
the process of acquiring the
necessary property, but it seems
a monopoly must be attained
before the school can build.
The Town of Farmville is eager
for the work to begin on new
parking lots also. The Police
Department is receiving, by
residents, many complaints of
cars parked in various places to
handle the overflow from the
College. Students will leave their
cars parked on streets, store
parking lots, and spots not
designated for student use.
The town also wants to supply
the labor for the building of the
parking lots. The College would
supply all supplies which mostly
amount to many tons of crush
stone. The main hinderence to the
building of the parking lots are
the residents who refuse to be
bought out or have lots placed
next to their houses.
The students that drive are
becoming increasingly frustrated
by the parking situation at
Ix)ngwood. "Parking at night
during the week is nearly im-
possible and most of the time you
have to park illegally, if you want
to park on campus," said Keith
Darrah, a Longwood sophomore.
The campus police are then quick
to ticket the violator's car the
next morning, passing the ex-
pense of lack of parking onto the
student.
The parking lots in the planning
stages are becoming increasingly
necessary as the number of cars
on campus grows larger by each
semester. "If the College were to
build one or two parking lots
immediately, the problem could
be solved at least for now, and
now is when we need it," said
Steve Evans, a Business Major at
Longwood. Until something is
done to solve the parking
problem, it would appear it will
only get worse.

Governor's Fellows
Program Continued
THE ROTUNDA Page 5
Governor Gerald L. Baliles is
pleased to announce that the
Governor's Fellows program,
created in 1982, will be repeated
in 1987. Fellows will serve during
the summer of 1987. A.E. Dick
Howard will serve as chairman of
the program's coordinating
committee.
Purpose. The purpose of the
program is to offer talented and
highly motivated young people
firsthand experiences in the
processes of state government.
As a result of their experience,
Fellows may well be attracted to
careers in government or public
service. In addition to giving
Fellows valuable experience, the
program is designed to bring
fresh ideas into the Governor's
Office. Moreover, the program
should serve to strengthen ties
between state government and
Virginia's academic community,
building a mutual sense of un-
derstanding and rapport.
Eligibility. Applicants must be
graduating seniors or enrolled as
degree candidates in a graduate
or professional school. Students
enrolled in Virginia colleges or
universities, public or private,
may apply, regardless of state of
residence. Virginia residents
enrolled in out-of-state in-
stitutions, public or private, may
also apply. In the equal op-
portunity selection process, there
will be no distinction based on a
candidate's political affiliation,
race, religion, or gender.
Duration of Fellowship. An
applicant selected as a Fellow
must be willing to commit at
least two months to full-time
work in the Governor's Office.
The normal period of the
Fellowship would be from the
first week in June to the last week
in July, 1987.
Assignment of Fellows.
Fellows will be assigned to work
with members of the Governor's
Cabinet or personal staff. The
nature of the assignments will
depend partly on the official's
needs and partly on the
backtjround and experience of
the Fellow.
Fundhig. No state funds are
available to support Fellows.
However, in previous years,
colleges and universities proved
willing to offer summer grants to
Fellows selected from those
institutions. In 1986, institutions
from which Fellows are selected
will again be urged to make
summer grants available.
Screening of Applications. A
panel of distinguished Virginia
educators will be selected to
screen the applications. Personal
interviews may be requested, at
the discretion of the panel.
Application Procedure.
Applicants should write a letter
of application and include:
(1) A resume.
(2) Transcripts of un-
dergraduate grades and of
graduate school grades, if any.
Be sure to indicate GPA.
(3) Two or three letters of
recommendation.
Applications should include,
either in the letter or the resume,
the following information:
(1) Name, address, and
telephone number (both present
and permanent.)
(2) Schools attended (with
dates) and degrees, if any.
(3) Extracurricular activities.
(4) Awards and recognitions.
(5) Work experience.
(6) Voluntary community
activities.
Applicants may submit such
other information as they deem
relevant, such as list of
publications, leisure interests,
etc.

^Virginia Writing'
The journal is the first
The premiere issue of Virginia statewide literary magazine in
Writing, a statewide journal for the nation devoted entirely to the
the best writings and art by high best writings, art and
school students and teachers, photography by high school
was published in December by students and teachers. Its stated
Ix)ngwood. purpose is to publish "promise."
The journal contains the works Two issues will be published each

from throughout the state. "Out there, somewhere, are
Selections were made from young Faulkners and Weltys,
several hundred submitted. Warrens and Clarks," General
Virginia Writing is edited by Samuel Wilson, a member of the
Billy C. Clark, Longwood's journal's Board of Directors and
writer-in-residence. Clark vice rector of the Longwood
founded a similar journal in Board of Visitors, wrote in the
Kentucky before coming to introduction. "The statewide
Longwood in 1985, but the outreach of Virginia Writing
Kentucky journal also included offers them — wherever they are
material from community — encouragement and the
college students. incentive of being published."
Longwood has received a
statewide award for its alcohol
awareness program of last fall.
Longwood received the 1986
Excellence Award for small
colleges from the Virginia A.LM.
Council. That group is made up of
executives from the Department
of Motor Vehicles and the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
board, which sponsor an alcohol
awareness week on Virginia
college campuses.
Joe McGill, director of Student
Services, and Rob Dearmon, a
freshman from Springfield,
received a plaque and a cer-
tificate from Governor Gerald
Baliles during a ceremony in
Richmond Jan. 13.
The plaque cites Longwood for
"developing and conducting an
outstanding public education
program during the 1986 -
Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
Week."
Among the activities were a
slogan contest, a poster contest
and a residence hall bulletin
board contest, and buttons and
bumper stickers were made that
bear the winning slogan. That
slogan — "Stop and think. Do you
want a drink? — was the idea of
Rita Moore, a student from
Brookneal.
Penny Dodson, of Danville,
came up with the winning poster.
The residence hall bulletin board
contest was won by Pat Holland
of Fork Union, who lives in North
Cunningham. Drew Hudson of
Culpeper (French) came in
second, and Anne Smith of
Midlothian (Main Cunningham)
was third.
"The idea of alcohol awareness
programs is not to ask students to
abstain from drinking, but to ask
them to think about what they're
doing," said McGill. "Whatever
you're doing, it's a choice. The
activities emphasized non-use
among those too young to drink
and responsible use among those
who are of age."
"We need some kind of a
counter-program in the area of
drinking," he added. "There's so
much pressure by the alcohol
industry and our culture to be
irresponsible. To be sending no
counter-measure is to support
that."
McGill said he has been
"pleasantly surprised by how
well the slogan has caught on
among students. Sometimes, I'll
be talking with a student and I'll
say, 'Stop and think.' And they'll
say, 'Do you want a drink?' I
think the slogan is good because
it stays away from preaching."
Although the alcohol
awareness programs generally
last only one week, longwood
program was spread out from
the beginning of October until
Thanksgiving, "so that it would
be more visible," McGill said.
The award for large colleges was
won by Virginia Tech, which has
an office devoted to alcohol and
drug education, he said.

Lady Lancers Fourth
In
Foxy Lady Tournament
Longwood's women's
basketball team managed a
fourth place finish in the eight-
team Foxy Lady Tournament in
Florence, South Carolina over the
weekend and senior co-captain
Caren Forbes (Rio Grande, NJ)
was named to the All-
Tournament team.
Longwood, 6-8 overall, 1-1 in the
Mason-Dixon Conference, is
scheduled to play at St. Paul's
Tuesday night, weather per-
mitting, before returning home to
host Mason-Dixon foes Liberty
Thursday night at 7:30 and
nationally ranked Mount St.
Mary's Sunday afternoon at 3 : 00.
There will be a girls' Dixie
Youth Basketball preliminary
game starting at 1:15 Sunday
before the contest between
Longwood and Mount St. Mary's.
Sunday's game will be free for all
elementary and junior high
students in the Farmville area.
Longwood began last week with
two impressive wins. The Lady
Lancers knocked off 20th ranked
Virginia State 72-68 Tuesday
night as Kita Chambers
(Bladensburg, MD) and Karen
Boska (Alexandria) combined to
score five points in the last
minute and a half.
Baska scored 18 points, Forbes
16, Jill Everett (Emporia) 13,
Barbie Burton (Arlington) 12 and
Angle Hill (Virginia Beach) 10.
Longwood canned 20 of 26 free
throws, led by Boska's 8-9, to key
the victory.
Thursday in the Foxy Lady
Tournament, Longwood beat
Mount Olive 68-63 as Chambers
totaled 14 points, 13 rebounds and
nine steals and Forbes had 20
points and eight assists. The
Lady Lancers rallied from a 34-30
halftime deficit to take the win.
Saturday, in the tourney semi-
finals, Longwood faced host
Francis Marion, 13-6 and a first
round winner over Liberty 97-66.
Led once again by Chambers and
Forbes, the Lady Lancers played
Francis Marion tough before
bowing 83-78.
Chambers totaled 17 points and
18 rebounds while hitting nine of
12 free throws. Forbes added 25
points, five assists and four
steals. Lisa Waldrop poured in 32
for the winners, who went on to
claim the tournament title
Sunday, beating Lander 80-76.
Longwood had a shot at third
place, but played poorly Sunday
while losing to Newberry 75-71.
Boska had 13 points. Chambers 10
points and nine rebounds and
Forbes 12 points.
"We went down there intending
to win the tournament," said
Longwood coach Shirley Duncan.
"Originally, we were in the
bracket opposite Francis Marion,
but they had to change the format
because of the weather. We had
hoped to play Francis Marion in
the championship game. I think
we suffered a bit of a letdown
after we lost to the host team in
the semifinals." /

Wrestling
By KIRK BARNES
Farmville, VA — The
Longwood wrestling team
completely dominated Ferrum
48-3 in a Wednesday night match
on the road, but snow prevented
the Lancers' participation in the
Washington and Lee Invitational
Friday and Saturday.
The Lancers lost only one
match Wednesday as they rolled
to victory over Ferrum.
Longwood's dual match record
now stands at 4-1. John Kelly, 190
lbs., and Jesus Strauss,
unlimited, were responsible for
the only two pins of the match.
Kelly's match only lasted 30
seconds.
Tim Fitzgerald, 118 lbs.,
Tommy Gilbert, 142 lbs., Billy
Howard, 167 lbs., and David
Taylor, 177 lbs., completely
dominated their opponents with
scores of 22-7, 194, 16-1 and 21-5,
respectively.
Other winners included Pete
Whitman, 150 lbs., and David
Parrish, 158 lbs., Ben
Bartlett, 134 lbs., received a
forfeit.
"We wrestled very well in
spots, but looked a little sluggish
in others," stated coach Steve
Nelson. "Tommy and Billy
wrestled very well.
"Because we dominated the
match our wrestlers were able to
take chances and perform moves
they had not worked a great deal
on," boasted the coach.

Longwood To Hold
Tiger-Lancer Duals
Player of the Week
By DAVE LARSON
Sports Editor
Longwood CoUege wiU host the
Tiger-Lancer Duals this Satur-
day January 30th in Lancer gym.
The matches will start at 9 a.m.
with the finals being held at 5
p.m. that evening. There will be a
total of 11 matches with two mats
running at the same time.
The tournament will feature a
full day of fun pact exciting
wrestling. Included in the line-up
will be Pembroke State who is
currently ranked number two in
the South in Division II and is also
ranked in the top 20 in the nation.
Also teams from Ferrum College,
Virginia State, Newport News
Apprentice, Hampden-Sydney
and of course Longwood.
Longwood's Coach Nelson is
picking Pembroke State as a
overwhelming favorite to win the
tournament. Pembroke has two
All Americans in their lineup, one
being the brother of Longwood
wrestler John Stokes. Coach
Nelson believes that Longwood
could come out with a 2nd or 3rd
place finish dep)ending on how his
wrestlers perform.
Coach Nelson said that there
will be some holes in his line-up,
however, he does have some
outstanding wrestlers that he
expects will do well against the :
competition. Coach Nelson
stated, "Tim Fitzgerald whose
record is currently (13-1) should
do very well in this tournament."
Also John Stokes, who is
currently at (13-2) should do well.
Last year's regional chemipion
Billy Howard is expected to do
well. Peter Whitman who is
moving down a weight class is
also expected to do well. Dave
Taylor is another grappler that'
should fare well. Incidentally
Dave is coming off of his best
year ever since his start at
Longwood three years ago.
Coach Nelson and the entire
Longwood team would like to see
Lancer gym packed full of
spectators. Everyone come out
and support the Longwood
grapplers as they host the first
ever wrestling tournament to be
held at Longwood.

Lady Golfers Head For Mexico
The 1986-87 longwood women's
golf season has taken on a -
distinctly international flavor
over the winter months. Coach
Barbara Smith returned from the
United States-Japan golf com-
petition in Toyoko five weeks ago.
Early Wednesday morning Dr.
Smith and her top five golfers
departed for a junket to
Guadalajara, Mexico and the
Guadalajara Intercollegiate
Tournament. The event, which is
being hosted by Oklahoma State,
includes 11 of the top Division I
women's golf teams in the
country, plus Longwood, one of
the best golf squads in Division
II.
Oklahoma State coach Ann
Pitts, a member of the NCAA
Women's Golf Committee along
with Dr. Smith, extended the
invitation to the Lady Lancers.
That Longwood was able to
participate is due to the
generosity of two benefactors
who are funding the excursion.
"It should be a great ex-
perience for the team in terms of
golf and the educational ex-
perience of visiting another
country," said Dr. Smith, who is
recognized as one of the top
coaches in America. "It's a great
way to start our 'spring' season."
Longwood's next tournament will
be the North-South Classic March
12-14 in Ocala, Florida.
Making the journey will be
juniors Tina Barrett, Marcia
Melone, Gretchen Pugh, Leigh
Russell and freshman Ashley
Warren.
Longwood is coming off its best
fall ever. The Lady Lancers
compiled a stroke average of
318.8, won two tournaments and
finished third in another.
The tournament field will in-
clude defending NCAA Women's
Golf Champion Florida, which is
ranked number one in the nation
on the basis of its fall play. Others
in the event (with national
ranking indicated) are: San Jose
State (5), Oklahoma State (7),
Texas (11), Oklahoma (14),
Georgia (16), Texas Christian
(25), Minnesota (27), Lamar (29),
UCI A (32), and Texas A&M (39).
Longwood is rated 43rd out of
the top 100 schools who submitted
scores for fall play.
"There's no question that the
Guadalajara Tournament will
include one of the toughest field
of teams we've ever faced," said
Dr. Smith.
The Lady Lancers departed
from Dulles International Airport
early Wednesday morning and
were scheduled to arrive in
Guadalajara, the second largest
city in Mexico, around 2:30
Wednesday afternoon. After a
practice round Thursday the
teams will play Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
KITA CHAMBERS
nament champ Francis Marion.
She had 10 points and nine
rebounds in Synday's 75-71 loss to
Newberry. "Kita has played very
well for us over the last four
games," said Lady Lancer coach
Shirley Duncan. "She turned in a
super effort against Francis
Marion. We were hoping she
might make the All-Tournament
team."
A starter in 11 of Longwood's
14 games. Chambers is averaging
8.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and
nearly three steals per game. She
has been Longwood's top
' rebounder in its last three games.
Majoring in therapeutic
recreation at Longwood,
Chambers is a graduate of
Bladensburg High School where
she was an honor graduate.
Coach Duncan credited her with
being one of the most improved
players on the team in preseason.
Up And Down Lancer Cagers Host Macow, Visit The Mount...
After a win over Elon and a loss
to Virginia State last week,
Longwood's men's basketball
team will host Randolph-Macon
Wednesday night and visit
nationally ranked Mount St.
Mary's Saturday night in a
rugged week of Mason-Dixon
Conference action.
Current Mason-Dixon stan-
dings have The Mount on top at 3-
0, Longwood 1-0, Randolph-
Macon 2-1, Pittsburgh-Johnstown
1-2 and Liberty a surprising 04,
after starting with four league
games on the road.
Longwood, 9-7 overall, had a
visit to Pittsburgh-Johnstown
Saturday and a home date with
Elon Monday, January 26
postponed by the snow. The
games will be re-scheduled at a
later date.

BONDAGE NOT FOR JOSEPH
Jacob, his 12 sons, their
assorted wives, Egyptians,
camels and Ishmaelites will
move into Jarman Auditorium on
Wednesday, February 4 at 8 p.m.
This production is produced by
Barksdale Theatre of Hanover,
Virginia, just north of Richmond,
and is being presented here by
the Ix)ngwood Series of the
Performing Arts.
The Tim Rice — Andrew Lloyd
Webber musical tells the Old
Testament story of Joseph, so
favored by his doting father that
his greeneyed brothers sell him
into slavery. Joseph rises from a
life in chains to become the
Pharoah's deputy, and as in all
lighthearted musicals, everyone
lives happily ever after.
John Frenzer plays Joseph,
and is an exceptionally talented
young singer-actor who was
discovered by Barksdale last
summer when he was performing
in the Italian Show at Busch
Gardens in Williamsburg, VA.
Sandee Hayes is the Narrator, a
role she created for the original
Barksdale production in Virginia,
which became the longest
running regional theatre
production of this musical in the
entire nation. Randy
Strawderman and Barry J.
Hayes, Barksdale's original
director-choreographer and
musical director respectively,
have restaged the show for this
National tour. Settings and
costumes are by Jann Paxton,
Lighting by William B. Allison,
III.
Barksdale Theatre was
founded in 1953 at an 18th century
inn called Hanover Tavern, and
productions there have received
national attention from the New
York Times, Richard Coe of the
Washington Post, William
Glover, AP Drama Writer, and
others. The various dining rooms
and kitchens of the old Tavern,
where Patrick Henry once lived,
lead naturally to the nation's first
so-called dinner theatre, though
at Barksdale the theatre and
dining rooms are separate.
"Joseph" broke all records for
the state of Virginia as the
longest running show ever and
closed after 19 months of sold out
houses. The current tours in the
1986-87 season cover over 20
states.

State Staff
Longwood College agreed
yesterday to hold talks with
representatives of a group op-
posed to an expansion of the
college into a residential neigh-
borhood.
The decision came after
Farmville attorney James E.
Ghee asked the college's board of
visitors to "hold in abeyance
plans to move into our neigh-
borhood" and to set up a way to
involve residents in decisions
that will affect their area.
Ghee, a former president of the
Virginia unit of the National
Association for the advancement
of Colored People, is chairman of
Citizens to Save Our Neigh-
borhood, formed late last year to
oppose Longwood's longrange
plans for expansion and its im-
mediate plans to buy land for
parking in the neighborhood.
The college has acquired
several lots and options on others
in the block on the southwest
comer of Main and Franklin
streets and has approval from the
state to buy some or all of the
land on the block for a parking
lot. The block is in an area that
has for many years been part of
the college's master plan for
expansion.
The college also is awaiting
state endorsement of an ex-
panded master plan approved by
from the Virginia BARKSDALE THEATER'S
longest -running American production

eventual expansion into an area
that now contains more than 60
homes and businesses.
After a two-hour closed
session with other board mem-
bers, the business affairs com-
mittee of the hnarH nf visitors
voted to ask members of the
residents' organization to form a
committee with college ad-
ministrators and members of the
board to discuss their concerns.
Rector Thomas Rust said the
decision will mean that the
college will at least delay its plan
to buy more land for parking. The
college will buy several lots on
which it already has options, he
added.
"This is going to be a bona fide
effort on the part of the board to
.smooth things over," Rust said of
the new committee.

The visitation policy is still a matter that many students want
changed. If the visitation policy is to be changed, then the students
have to make this effort. For students to do this, they must work
through the proper channels. The best way is to start from the
bottom and end at the top to receive more results. The Student
Government is willing to listen and help with this effort. Gradually,
a proposal can be presented to the Board of Visitors.
Many students want a 24 hour or 231/2 hour visitation policy. But,
if this is to happen, then a few factors must be considered. More
night hosts and desk aides will have to be hired. This will create
more jobs for students. On the other hand, though, campus police
will have to be reinforced with more manpower. This costs the
school and students money.
It we have 24 hour visitation, this causes cohabitation, which is
illegal in Virginia. If the visitation policy is up to the dorm, there will
be a conflict. Someone might want a 24 hour visitation and someone
else might not want any visitation. There are a lot of problems with
the visitation policy. There are also a lot of problems with changing
the visitation policy. It is up to the student to do something about it.

CHI
Better Dead
Than
Unwed
By MADONNA ORION
"Rather than live a single life, I
would die young!" This is the
stunning motto of Longwood's
secret organization, CHI.
Established on October 15, 1900,
CHI is the longest lasting of the
many secret groups that have
been organized in Longwood's
past. CHI's essential purpose is to
promote and maintain a spirit of
cooperation among students in
every phase of college life.
Furthermore, CHI is an
organization that represents the
entire student body and commits
itself to recognizing the efforts of
students, faculty, and
organizations.
Although its major purpose is
focused on college spirit and
loyalty, CHI, to many, means
long, plae-blue robes, walks at
midnight emphasizing special
events, blue ribbons and car-
nations, and signs on sidewalks.
All of these tangible evidences of
CHI's presence on campus en-
sure us that "The Spirit Lives"
and will continue to do so — a
spirit which always seeks the
respect and support of past,
present, and future Longwood
students.
Your continued support is vital
in aiding Longwood to maintain
its respected position in the
college world. All CHI can ask is
that future graduating classes
follow the example that has been
set before them.

Snowball
Murder
By MATT PETERMAN
^ A 47-year-old man is being
charged with murder after he
gunned down a 16-year-old boy.
The boy, with some of his friends
were throwing snowballs at the
house of Edward Smith, who had
threatened to use his gun in the
past. The kids supposedly broke a
window to provoke the attack last
Friday night. Edward Smith is
being held without bail until a
hearing has taken place.

college-trained women and about
700 chapters nationwide and
internationally.
The sorority advocates the
following of a five-point program
that includes educational
development, physical and
mental health, political
awareness and involvement, plus
international awareness and
involvement.
The Delta Sigma Theta interest
group will sponsor many fund
raising activities during the

Weekends Reach
All Time Low
By MATT PETERMAN
A record number of Longwood
students could be found
anywhere but Longwood this past
week end. All the anxiety of being
bottled up for weeks gave reason
to the massive surge of students
departing the campus.
The regular crowd that always
leaves on the weekends made this
one no exception as they dug their
cars out of the snow and left for
places unknown. Somehow they
managed to make it back Sunday
night as the atmosphere of
Longwood was filled with
blinking hazard lights.
A third of the rest of the
remaining students were spotted
at Hampden-Sydney where they
partied well into the night with
live bands, all at the expense of
Hampden-Sydney, of course.
Another third sat around
Friday and Saturday nights glued
to the TV set, casually drinking
beer trying to pass the time.
Some poker games were
rumored, but could not be in-
dependently confirmed by
anyone on campus.
The last third could be found
either at small closed parties or
walking around looking for them.
The main conversation of those
walking was: "What a boring
night," as they persisted in their
quest for a good time.
Sources that wished not to be
identified said the campus was
virtually drug free due to bad
weather that had hampered the
supply lines. Could this be a
possible reason for Longwood's
abandonment?
The speculation of what exactly
did happen to the 200O students
this past weekend probably will
remain a mystery, however. The
Rotunda staff will try hard to find
the answer.
The Rings are coming
ByPAM
Longwood's traditional Ring
Premiere Party, which enables
the sophomore class to preview
different styles of class rings, is
about to begin. Ring companies,
Art Carved and Jostens will be in
the Red, White and Green Rooms
on Tuesday, February 3 from 7 to
9 p.m. to display their products.
Free pizza and drinks will be
served and music will be
provided by TKE's.
In years past, a Class Ring
Dance has been held to celebrate
WERNER
the receiving of the rings.
Traditionally, those students
ordering rings choose an un-
derclassman to be their "Little

turn have the honor of presenting
the ring to its owner at the dance.
Last year the Ring Dance was
not held because the rings did not
come in on time. If all goes as
planned, this year's dance will be
held in the spring, although a
definite date will be announced
later.

How About This Weather?
The Rotunda Staff Would Like To/f^l

Wish You A Happy And Heahhy k^
Groundhog Day ^
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
According to the 1987 Old
Farmer's Almanac, weather for
the middle Atlantic Coast (that's
us) should be something like this:
"A thaw at the end of January
will bring an otherwise cold
month up to normal while warm
spells will predominate in
February. Following a storm in
early January, light precipitation
is anticipated until late
February..."
The forecast, "determined both
by the use of a secret weather
forecasting formula devised by
the founder of the almanac
(Robert B. Thomas) in 1792 and
by the most modem scientific
calculations based on solar ac-
tivity", predicted rain, with snow
in the mountains between
January 19th and 21st; cloudy,
seasonable weather from the
22nd to the 25th; sunny, mild
weather from the 26th to the 28th ;
and clear, very warm weather
between the 29th and 31st.
The forecast for the first two
days of February calls for clear,
very warm weather, while it will
be cloudy and cold between the
3rd and 8th, turning sunny and
warm for the 9th to the lltth.
Of course, neither the almanac
"nor anyone else has as yet
gained sufficient insight into the
mysteries of the universe to
predict weather with anything
resembling total accuracy".

"PLATOON'':
The Real Side of Vietnam
BySKIPFREEBERG
For the past few years,
Hollywood and the movie in-
dustry have been making
millions on the Vietnam War,
with movies like "Rambo,"
"Uncommon Valor", and
"Apocalypse Now." They have
made the war look glamorous
and have capitalized on the
conflict. Director Oliver Stone
has changed that glamorous view
with his movie "Platoon". The
impact of this movie hits hard
and hopefully will put to rest the
Hollywood image the war has
attained.
Stone, who himself served in
Vietnam, is hoping to put to an
end the misconceptions which
many people have about the war.
To do that, he picked 3 fine young
actors: Charlie Sheen; son of
Martin Sheen, plays Chris
Taylor, a kid fresh from the
states. This character plays the
role of Stone. Willem Dafoe
("Streets of Fire," "To Live and
Die in L. A.") plays Elias, a
soldier on his 3rd tour of Viet-
nam, and Tom Berenger ("Eddie
and the Cruisers", "The Big
Chill"), plays the scarfaced Sgt.
Barnes. The 3 actors give great
performances, with the best
coming from Berenger.
To bring reality into the story.
Stone created brilliant special
effects. Any war movie can have
bombs and guns going off, but in
"Platoon", you feel as though you
are right there in the middle of a
fire fight. In the heat of battle
there are casualties, and the
results are graphic in the movie.
Stone hired a retired Marine
Colonel as a technical consultant
and to train the actors. They were
put through an intensive jungle
training course prior to filming to
make the actors look tired and
seasoned.
This movie has been well
received by many Vietnam vets
who have viewed it. The general
consensus is that they hope that
the movie will put to rest all of the
uncertainty about the war, and
show all of us the pain and
struggle that they went through
for their country's cause in
Vietnam. Everyone who sees this
movie will hopefully view the war
differently and give the veterans
the honor and respect that they
deserve.

Pledge.

Jasper Johns that are currently on display in Bedford Gallery. The
exhibition — the first time this selection has been displayed in
Virginia — will run through Feb. 20. It features lithographs and
serigraphs dating from 1963 to 1977. Johns, a 56-year-old native of
South Carolina, is a recipient of the gold medal for graphic art from
the American Academy and histitute of Arts and Letters. Art
critics Rive him credit as "the Inventor of Pop art, inspiration for
Mhiimalism and forerunner of Conceptual art," according to the
Richmond News Leader. In 1980, the Whitney Museum of American
Art bought his 1958 painting "Three Hags" for |1 mUUon — the
highest price paid for a painthig by a livtag artist up to that time.
Last fall, Johns set another record for a llvUig artist when his 1957
work "Green Target" sold at auction for $3.63 mUlion.
Weyanoke Reawakens
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
The Hotel Weyanoke, located
across from the Colonnades on
High Street, is soon to be
reopened as the Weyanoke Inn
Retirement Home.
Following problems con-
cerning his last tenant, the for-
mer owner put the Weyanoke up
for sale early in 1986. An ad for it
placed in the Richmond Times
Dispatch caught the attention of
Roger Wilcox, a licensed nursing
home administrator with 17 years
of experience in establishing
homes for retired adults. Mr.
Wilcox has turned a number of
old hotels into adult living
facilities, including one in
Orange, Virginia.
"Old hotels are ideal to convert
into retirement homes," Mr.
Wilcox commented. "Many
quaint little inns have fallen into
disuse as main roads have
become lined with big name
hotels such as Holiday Inn."
The excellent workmanship
and construction standards in
older buildings make them just
as sturdy today as they were the
day they were built. The only
work necessary in the Weyanoke
to convert it was superficial
decorating such as new paint,
wallpaper and paneling, in-
stallation of modem fire safety
equipment, and elevator
automation. Built in 1924, the
Weyanoke Building will probably
be standing long after the high
rises have crumbled (don't worry
— it probably won't happen in our
lifetime . . .)
At first, citizens of Farmville
were a bit dismayed at the
thoughts of the Weyanoke being
anything but a hotel. Most of
these people have practically
grown up in the Hotel Weyanoke,
having Sunday brunch in its
dining room and wedding
banquets, dinners and functions
for their numerous organizations
in its banquet rooms. Eventually
Mr. Wilcox plans to have the
banquet rooms available for
public use again as they used to
be ( without the catering services
the hotel provided), but for now
most events are being staged at
the Heritage House on Rt. 15. He
hopes to preserve the same
welcoming atmosphere the
building has held in past years.
When filled to capacity, the
Weyanoke Inn Retirement Home
will employ 20 fulltime em-
ployees as well as a number of
part-time employees. No nursing
care is to be administered, but
personal care and daily activit las
will be provided, as well as three
meals a day, as part of the
monthly fee paid by residents.
Mr. Wilcox feels it will be
beneficial having the adult home
next to a college campus. He
hopes to develop a constant
rapport between the students and
various parts of Longwood's
campus and the Weyanoke
Retirement Home.
As the building will be occupied
by residents gradually, the rooms
on the fourth floor, rather than
being left unoccupied these next
few months, are being rented out
to students this semester at rates
starting at $75 a month. This
includes all utilities, and cable
hookup is available in each room.
For further information con-
cerning job opportunities and
room rentals, contact Roger
Wilcox at 392-4161 any weekday.

Farmville Fast Food Renovations
THE ROTUNDA Page 7
By JIM LONG and
CATHY GAUGHRAN
The McDonald's fast food
restaurant of Farmville's Main
Street will begin to take on a new
look shortly, as a series of im-
provements is set to begin. That
announcement this week from
restaurant manager, Tim Long.
In a phone interview Saturday,
Long said they were trying to
speed up service at the
restaurant by hiring new per-
sonnel and by retraining present
employees.
He also said service would be
increased through more
management involvement in
service techniques.
Long says that within the next
three months they will begin a
remodeling of the restaurant.
This is being done in order to
make the facility more up to date.
Look for more contemporary
woodwork, more loose seating,
and bar stool seating once the
renovations are completed. Long
says the store would have to close
down while the renovations were
taking place, but specific details
as to how long that would be are
not available.
This announcement comes
following news that the Hardee's
restaurant in College Plaza is
also looking to renovate. Plans
for Hardee's renovations have
been held up, and now they are
not sure if they will renovate
their present accommodations,
or build a whole new store.
Renovations would include
complete redecoration inside and
out, the addition of two
greenhouse-style dining room
wings, and complete remodeling
of the kitchen area. Service time
would be cut in half by the ad-
dition of another cash register,
improved drive-through ac-
commodations and the extra
seating areas. This remodeling
would take 6-8 weeks, during
which time there would be no or
very short loss of services.
If a new Hardee's is built,
construction will take 2-3 months.
The new store will still be located
in College Plaza, but on a dif-
ferent site than the present one.
The restaurant would only lose
one or two days of business while
they relocate equipment to the
new building.
Store Manager Vicki Lee hopes
to know which course of action
will be taken by mid-February.
Best of all, no matter which
plan is followed, prices will not be
affected.
Who Slew The Dreamer?
"Who Slew the Dreamer?," a
lecture-slide presentation on the
assassination of Martin Luther
King, is scheduled for Tuesday,
February 3, at 8 p.m. in the Gold
Room of Lankford Building,
Longwood College.
The lecturer is Jeff Cohen, an
attorney and writer who is
considered one of the few experts
on Dr. King's assassination, the
search for his killer, and the
investigation and trial of James
Earl Ray.
He explores the many nagging
questions about the killing:
Where did the money come from
to finance Ray's travels and
activities before and after the
assassination? Who was
"Raoul"? Why does Ray continue
to protect the man he claims was
his accomplice?
Cohen has made numerous
trips to Memphis and has worked
with attorneys' and investigators
connected with the case. In 1978,
he was commentator for the
national PBS telecasts of the
congressional hearings on the
King assassination.
His lecture is sponsored by
Ungwood's Student Union and is
open to the public at no charge.
Who's Who? Elite Not Pica

Player of the Week, Fitzgerald leads Lancers
to 2nd place finish in Tiger-Lancer Duals
Lady Lancers Win
Two of Three
Longwood's Lady Lancer
cagers won two of three games
last week, including a 67-66
thriller over Liberty Thursday
night, to move their overall
record to 8-9.
Longwood, now 2-2 in the
Mason-Dixon Conference, visits
Division I William & Mary
Wednesday night and league
opponent Pittsburgh-Johnstown
Saturday night in action this
weelt.
Sunday afternoon, fourth
ranked Mount St. Mary's ended
Longwood's recent string of
home court successes by a 9(W7
count, after Thursday night had
brought an exciting triumph over
Mason-Dixon foe Liberty,
Longwood roared back from a
63-54 deficit in the final 3:41 to
outscore Uberty 13-3 and take the
win. A 3-point play by India
Walton brought LC within
striking distance and a layup by
Kita Chambers with 20 seconds
left provided the margin of
victory, 67-66.
Earlier this season Longwood
had benefitted from similar late-
game heroics in wins over
nationally ranked Hampton
University (60-59) and Virginia
State (72-68).
Caren Forbes scored 15 points
to lead the win, while Chambers
had 11 points, Karen Boska 10
points and 10 rebounds, Jill
Everett 10 points, and Barbie
Burton 10 points.
A bright spot Sunday was the
scoring and rebounding of
freshman Dee McDaniels. The 6^
center scored 14 points and pulled
down eight rebounds in only 10
minutes on the court. Chambers
had 13 points and nine rebounds.
The Mount moved its record to
16-1 overall and 4-0 in the MDAC
behind double figure scoring
from five cagers. Jenny Brown
was 6-6 from the field and the foul
line for 18 points to lead the
visitors.
Boska scored 26 points and
grabbed 12 rebounds to lead
Longwood to an 86-67 triumph at
St. Paul's last Tuesday.
Gymnastics Team falls to
Georgia College in close meet
lx)ngwood's gymnastics team
suffered its second defeat of the
season Friday night falling to
Georgia College 164.85-164.25.
The lancers host Radford this
Saturday at 2:00.
Coach Ruth Budd was only
semi-pleased with the per-
formance despite an im-
provement in the overall team
score.
"We should have won it. I was
very disappointed in the scores
we received in floor exercise,"
Budd said, referring to the low
scores given on seemingly
flawless routines. The crowd
booed the judges scores on
several occasions. The only way
she could justify the low scores
was assuming the judges
preferred difficulty over polish.
Budd felt her team was robbed
on floor exercise but admitted
they could have won it had they
been more fluent on bars.
"Bars are definitely our
trouble spot right now," ex-
plained the coach. The Lancers
did manage to win vault and
beam. On beam there were three
impressive no-fall foutines out of
six.
Leading the way for the Lan-
cers were top all-around scorer
Lynda Chenoweth, Kiersten
Artese, and Kerri Hruby.
Chenoweth was the all-around
winner with a score of 33.95.
Along with top score honors she
set a personal best record on
beam, scoring an 8.8 (second best
in LC history).
Artese placed second in the all-
around, compiling a 33.6. She tied
for first in the vault with a score
of 8.9. Hruby placed fourth
overall attaining a 32.6. She did a
very fine job on bars and in floor
exercise.
All in all Longwood had a
productive evening, placing two
girls in the top three spots. Both
Chenoweth and Artese improved
their previous scores.
Senior wrestler Tim Fitzgerald
recorded four one-sided victories
in the Tiger-Lancer Duals
Saturday, leading Longwood to a
second place team finish. Fit-
zgerald has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period January 25-
February 1. Player of the Week is
chosen by the Longwood sports
information office.
Now 17-1 for the year, Fit-
zgerald appears to be a threat to
return to the NCAA Division II
Tournament where he competed
as a sophomore.
Perhaps Longwood's top all-
time wrestler, Fitzgerald has
compiled a sparkling 76-35-1
record in four seasons. The senior
holds the Longwood record for
most career wins (76).
"Tim's performance was
probably his best ever," said
Ix)ngwood coach Steve Nelson.
"He not only won his matches. He
dominated his opponents."
fir
Longwood's grapplers wrestled
their way to an impressive
second place finish in Saturday's
Tiger-Lancer Duals held in
Lancer Hall.
Longwood travels to Virginia
Tech for a match with the Hokies
Wednesday and will participate
in the Virginia Collegiate
Tournament Friday and
Saturday in Newport News.
The final standings of Satur-
day's activities were: Pembroke
1st, Longwood 2nd, Newport
News 3rd, Hampden-Sydney 4th,
Virginia State 5th, and Ferrum
6th.
The grapplers lost to 16th
ranked Pembroke in the finals 48-
11, but the score does not reflect
the performance.
"We never gave up," stated
coach Steve Nelson. "We hustled
until the very end."
Longwood defeated Newport
News, Virginia State, and
Hampden-Sydney by scores of 34-
17, 38-13, and 48-4, respectively, to
reach the flnals. Longwood's dual
match record now stands at 7-2.
Tim Fitzgerald, 118 lbs., was
Longwood's most dominant
wrestler of the day, destroying
every opponent he faced. He went
4-0, boosting his season record to
17-1. John Stukes, 134 lbs., also
wrestled very well going 3-0 to up
his overall mark to 16-2.
Pete Whitman, 142 lbs., Billy
Howard, 167 lbs., and Jesus
Strauss, heavyweight, collected
three wins each. Howard (15-5)
and Strauss (11-7) accumulated
two pins apiece. Whitman is now
13-6-2 on the season.
David Taylor, 177 lbs., Willie
Gaines, 126 lbs., John Kelly, 190
lbs., and Shawn Washington, 158
lbs. each won two matches.
Washington, a sophomore,
rejoined the team after sitting out
the first semester.
"This was the best team effort I
have ever been associated with,"
explained Nelson. "We are
wrestling well as evidenced by
our dual meet record. The way
our guys wrestled reminded me
of the strong showing in the
Newport News Tourney."
"This was probably the best
Tim has ever wrestled and John
wrestled very well considering he
had been sick most of the week,"
boasted the coach. "All of our
guys hustled."
Men's Basketball
Seeking to reverse a four-game
losing streak, Longwood's men's
basketball team returns home
this week for contests with
Benedict Monday night and
Mason-Bixon Conference foe
Pittsburgh-Johnstown Friday
night.
League losses to Randolph-
Macon, 64-50 Wednesday, Pitt-
sburgh-Johnstown, 86-76 Friday,
and nationally ranked Mount St.
Mary's, 81-66 Saturday, dropped
longwood to 9-10 overall and 1-3
in the Mason-Dixon. After
getting off to a 7-2 start, the
I^cers have gone 2-« with six of
those losses coming on the road.
One bright spot for Longwood
last week was the inspired play of
senior center Quintin Kearney.
The 6-6 eager had two sterling
performances after going
scoreless against Randolph-
Macon Wednesday.
Kearney totaled 21 points, 10
rebounds, six assists, four
blocked shots and four dunks in
the loss to F>ittsburgh-Johnstown.
He came back the next night
against Mount St. Mary's to score
19 points and grab 12 rebounds.
The Lancer center was credited
with seven dunks in the two
games.
Currently averaging 9.3 points
and 7.9 rebounds, Kearney will be
a key factor in the Lancers at-
tempt to forge a late season
winning streak.

Longwood Leaders Attend Conference
ByKIMSETZER
The second annual leadership
conference was held this past
weekend at the Sheraton in
Virginia Beach. Many of the
organizations on campus were
represented. The students and
faculty left from the campus
police about 2:30 p.m. on Friday
afternoon. Dr. Ben Bissell was
the guest speaker for that night's
dinner. Dr. Bissell works with
management in Richmond and
spoke to the group about shar-
pening listening sills.
On Saturday morning JoJo
Katz and Tina Reiners led a skit
entitled "The Surfers Plan A Ski
Trip," in which the surfers have a
meeting to plan their trip as their
leader attempts to motivate
them. Next, Jim Brown and Paul
Striffolino shared their thoughts
with "Let's Stimulate Social
Life." It was a working session to
set up a student committee that
will provide "said money" for
student organizational groups. In
an attempt to explore things that
prevent a person from being
creative, Ann Brownson and
Robin Yarbrough present
"Unlock Your Mind."
On Saturday afternoon,
"Longwood's Involvement
Project" was led by Karen
Clifford, Niki Fallis, Phyllis
Mable, Joe McGill, Judy Maloy
and Sue Saunders. Longwood's
student leaders became part of
the Involvement Project and
became its primary am-
bassadors. Later in the af-
ternoon, Karen Clifford and Niki
Fallis showed juniors and seniors
how to "sell" their skills to
potential employers in the job
interview. For freshman and
sophomores, Lisa Coviello,
Jennifer Fender and Barbara
McCormick showed them how to
manage their time and get the
most out of college.
Communication, an important
part of college life, was discussed
by Sue Sanders, Judy Meloy and
Anne Smith. Mike Clements and
Joe McGill gave a summary of
techniques needed to carry out an
effective meeting.
they thought should be changed
about Longwood. Many groups
crusaded for campus
beautification. Other topics in-
about Longwood. Many groups
crusaded for campus
beautifucation. Oter topis in-
cluded teacher evaluations,
traditions, motivating freshmen,
extending library hours, the
problem of noise pollution,
safety, and temporary housing.
Some of the suggestions were to
continue with the S.A.L.T.
(Students Against Longwood's
Trash). Noah Wood and Danny
Hughes were asked to work
together on making an event of
keeping the campus clean as
other colleges and universities
do. Also, the need for more trash-
cans is prevalent. One group
thought teacher evaluations
should be taken more seriously
and reviewed by a committee.
Traditions is another important
part of Longwood, pursued
another group. Committee has
been formed for this purpose.
Another group expressed
motivating freshmen and helping
them get involved with
organizations on campus. The
administration are pursuing
these ideas to help better the life
at Longwood.
Ricky Oley, president of SGA,
and three alumni, Paula Clay,
Theresa Alvis, and Benji Smith
expressed what being a leader at
Ix)ngwood has meant to them.
They expressed how they applied
the skills they learned to their
current jobs — working in
Alumni Relations, a teacher and
working in the admissions office.
Anna Prow, representing the
Series of Performing Arts, stated
she had fun, learned a lot , and
the people who put it together
should be commended. These
students will take what they
learned back to each of their
organizations to help improve it.

There is only one word for this past weekend at the Leadership
Conference in Virginia Beach, "INTENSE." Only about eighty
students attended the conference, but I wish the whole school could
have gone. Phyllis Mable said the goal of the weekend was "to meet
new people, make new friends and help better Longwood." I think I
reached all these goals. It is surprising how many organizations
exist on this campus. There is something for everyone. Being in-
volved at Longwood gave me the opportunity to go to this con-
ference. Working hard at what I do and being involved gives me lots
of benefits. This conference was just one.
Everyone at the conference learned skills that they can take
back to their organization. Each of the ideas presented were
prominent and made sense. It doesn't matter whether you are on the
committee to clean up trash or whether you are on the committee to
select a new Academic Vice President. It is all important. No cause
is greater than another. A way to express this is to write editorials.
Editorials can be published in the Rotunda or read over WLCX. Take
pride in Longwood, because Longwood takes pride in you.
Kim Setzer, Editor-in-Chief
EDITORIALS
ON THE AIR
Longwood's own radio station,
WLCX, is now airing editorials
during the regular newscast
times of 5, 7, 9 and 11 p.m.
So now if you have a problem,
question, gripe, complaint, or
compliment for someone or
something on campus, you now
have two medias through which
you can express your opinion.
One, of course, is the weekly
issue of the Rotunda. But now a
new voice is ready to express
your thoughts, WLCX 90.1 FM.
All you have to do is submit your
comments to Tim Sheridan,
News Director WLCX, Box 1209.
You will need to sign your
editorial in order for it to be
aired, although your name will
not be announced over the air.
Editorials will usually run for
two days unless demand is high
which would result in daily
editorial programming. WLCX
does reserve the right to edit
material if need be, but all en-
trees will receive air time as well
as all rebuttals.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
On behalf of the Student Union,
I am writing in response to
Danny Pate's letter published
January 30. We would like to set
the record straight. It seems that
Mr. Pate is grossly misinformed
(not by S-UN members) and is a
poor judge of character.
First of all Paul Striffolino is a
very open-minded person. He has
done more for the students at
Ix)ngwood in the two years that
he's been here than anyone else I
can think of. His main concern is
with the students, he is interested
in listening to the opinions of
students; he can really un-
derstand things from our per-
spective.
Secondly, Paul's main
responsibility when we book acts
is to advise the committee
members and to sign the con-
tracts (since students are not
allowed to). The actual
negotiating and booking
processes are handled by myself
on the event conunittee chair.
Paul IS there only in an advisory
capacity, not to make the
decisions. Students spend S-UN
money.
Next, I wrote the article which
appeared in an earlier issue, not
Paul. And, yes, I'm looking for
someone to handle the
refrigerator rentals. It may not
.sound like the most glamorous
job in the world, but it could be
good experience for anyone.
Finally, The Romantics were
never booked; so how could they
be cancelled? And we didn't say
that we would never have the
Voltage Brother again. But, if we
put them in the IDH now, we
would never make any money on
them as we never have. That's
because students are unwilling to
pay $2 or $3 or $4 to see them or
any other bands.
Open your eyes, Danny ! ! A
survey was conducted last spring
in selected classes. We also,
advertise our open meetings ^r^d
ask for student's opinions. The
few of us die-hard S-UN loyalists
have accomplished a great deal.
But students don't seem to be
aware of the changes which the
organization is undergoing and
the advancements that we have
made. You can make the dif-
ference and help us bring the
types of entertainment that
students want to see!
Gwen Walker
President
Student Union
To The Eklitor:
looking down at a desk in my
American Lit class, a few words
caught my eye, "Save a
Longwood girl, shoot a Hamp-
ster." Now really, do we hate
Hampden-Sydney men that
much? Are we being a little
jealous? Are they actually that
bad? Well, I'm sure that the
answer to all three of those
questions could be yes, but, like
in almost every case, there is
always at least one exception,
maybe more than we think. For
once, let's try and take an ob-
jective look at Hampden-Sydney
College.
First of all, the nickname,
Hampster. Fair is only fair
Ijongwood, what could they call
us? "Woody," you say? Well,
after many visits to H-SC, I can
honestly say that I've never
heard it used. There's also the
popular belief among much of
Longwood's male populous that
the men from H-SC draw LC's
women six miles down the road to
their campus. Sure, there's
something to be said for the
social life at Hampden-Sydney on
the weekends. l.«t's face it,
Greek life at Longwood would be
much more exciting if we could
get the parties out of the hot,
stuffy, chapter room^.iWd into
real houses. Longwood's women
also need to be given a little more
credit. Come on, a man, no
matter where he goes to school, is
still a man. Any girl who goes
over there to find her, "million
dollar man," will have to look
hard to find him, and if it's just
money she's after, do you think
she's really worth it at all?
Now, I'm not saying that
there's no money at H-SC. Yes,
there are a handful of Porshe's,
Mercedes', BMW's and other
imports purchased by wealthy
parents for their sons, roving the
campus, but on the other hand,
the vast majority of the 750 plus
men drive around in the family's
dependable spare car, or they
worked hard just like some of us
to buy their own. To go to H-SC is
about twice the cost to attend
Longwood; however, there's also
financial aid at H-SC, don't kid
yourself, plenty of the students
are on it too. Now, some of you
will argue that if Longwood were
that expensive, you wouldn't be
able to afford it, even with aid.
What do you want me to say?
This "battle between the
schools" had been going on long
before I came here, and I don't
expect to stop it. Hopefully,
everybody has reason for feeling
the way they do about Hampden-
Sydney.
The bottom line is, we're all
college students. We all go
through the same frustrations
with grades, deal with the same
trouble of dates, tolerate ARA,
and drink the same beer. People
fail out there, just as people do
here. Maybe in the future,
Hampden-Sydney and Longwood
students should think a little bit
about what they say before they
say something about the other
school. If we can't bury that
sharp hatchet between the
schools, why not just the blade.

HONOR BOARD HEARING RESULTS
Submitted here is an outlined compilation of all Honor Board
hearings having taken place during the Fall Semester of 1986. Due to
our commitment to confidentially, we are not able to make the per-
tinent facts which lead us to our decisions public knowledge. We do
suggest in reviewing these cases, one take into consideration the ex-
tenuating circumstances which are often revealed during the course of
a hearing and are considered during deliberation by the Board priw to
all decisions.
It is the individual nature of each case that makes such a student run
honor system necessary. We are confident each of our decisions are in
the best interest of the acadenndc integity of the student body. It is a
policy of the Honor System sanctions to be educational, which in turn,
is in the best interest of those responsible for violations.
We invite any suggesticms, comments, or questioas from the
Longwood Community concerning the Honor System at Longwood.
Comments should be directed to Michael Clements, chairman of the
Honor Board, P. 0. Box 1153 or Joseph C. McGill, Director of Student
Services, Tabb Hall.
Sincerely submitted,
Longwood College Honor Board

Waitering Gains Efficiency
Roaches Enjoy McDonald's
By PAMELA J. WERNER
For the past several months,
the Farmville McDonald's has
had more than just customers
come through their doors.
Roaches, which enjoy warm,
humid climates, have come in out
of the cold, set up camp and don't
appear too eager to move.
OK Termite Control, a local
pest control company, has been
before now? According to one of
the managers at McDonald's,
they could not get a response
from any other pest control
company. One would think that
when a customer's health is in-
volved, a restaurant would try a
little harder to stop a problem
before it grows out of control.
Roaches feed on anything and
everything. Their diets can
consist of food, in any state of
hired to try to curb the problem.
An employee of OK Termite preparation, to garbage, to the
Control stated that McDonald's dead remains of their com-
does indeed have a terrible panions. Wherever a roach steps,
problem with roaches. The fast infection is spread,
food restaurant has been sprayed Customers have spotted
once and it will be several weeks roaches running across tables
before it can be sprayed again, and floors, over cup dispensers
Pyrid, a safe, low ordor chemical and even floating in their drinks,
is being used to exterminate the The management does not seem
pests. Unfortunately no im- too concerned, however. They
provement will be seen for simply replace a customers' food
several months. or drink if there is a problem.
So why wasn't anything done Mr. Harry McKissick from the
Health Department, states that
he was not aware of the severe
roach problem at McDonald's. As
far as inspections go, there is "no
regular routine. McDonald's is
probably lowest in priority on our
list." Mr. McKissick guessed that
the fast food restaurant was
probably inspected four times a
year. According to the Health
Department records, the last
time the Farmville McDonald's
was inspected was October
28,1986.
One can only hope that with the
upcoming renovation of
McDonald's, the roaches will
break camp and head elsewhere.
In the meantime, if a cockroach
decides to join you for lunch,
either share your Big Mac or
squash him. In any case, the
results will be unappetizing.
Longwood's
Beyond Longwood ise>vPepBand
ByMATTPETERMAN
The spring semester ushered in
a new system of waitering that
has proven effective and more
efficient than in the past.
One of the biggest problems
with waitering in the past, was
the amount of time it took. This
for the most part has been
reduced to that of quick service.
The trick to this semester is that
the server takes the order before
students go for drinks and or a
salad. This reduces the hassle of
staggering delays.
Most of the food and sometimes
all of the food is on the table when
the student returns. This is
possible through the organization
of the different foods in the kit-
chen. Instead of many
disorganized stations, where
lines were common, centralized
stations were set-up, so that
virtually all the food can be
loaded up at one stop.
The portions that the student
receives today are twice that of
the past. Suprisingly, to most
students, everyone at the table
has a chance to take an adequate
portion before the bowl needs re-
filling.
All of these small im-
provements have made a great
difference in the quality of
waitering to the point that
waitering is becoming less
frowned upon.
Much of this success can be
attributed to the Director of
Dining Services, Rick Johnson.
His formula for the ever im-
proving dining hall is simple. He
talks with the students and gets
their opinions. He welcomes
comments and suggestions and
does all he can to fix the
problems.
This is not to say that the dining
services are perfect, but they are
improving. It is very difficult to
please so many people at one
time. Out of 1000 students who
may eat dinner on a given night,
it is possible for 50 or more to be
displeased with some aspect of
the dining hall system.
If the student and the dining
hall work together much can be
accomplished with respect to
better quality. Such is the case of
waitering which has taken a
great leap foward from last
semester because of student
input and dining hall im-
plementation.

i Noted pianist, Liberace, died
last Wednesday of anemia,
emphysema, and heart disease.
Reports that said he was dying of
AIDS are still being denied.
His trademark when he played
was his extravagent costumes
and the candelabra that
decorated his piano.
Though critics were harsh on
him, he was still able to make
many millions of dollars each
season, breaking records of the
highest paid pianist in the world.
He will long be remembered as
a kind and generous man who
gave his all in everything he did
and attempted to do.
Dennis Connor, the first
skipper to lose the America's Cup
was the first to win it back after
defeating the Australian's
Kookabura III in his yacht Stars
and Stripes. In a best out of seven
series. Stars & Stripes sailed
Dennis Connor to a 4-0 victory
sweep over the Aussies.
The cup will return to America
this week to the city of San Diego
where Stars & Stripes will dock.
President Reagan
congratulated Connor by saying:
"your victory represents more
than just another yachting
triumph. It reflects the pinncle
of teamwork, competitiveness,
hard work and American stick-to-
it ingenuity. Your patience has
paid off, and all America is
proud."
k Thousands of South Korean
demonstrators gathered in the
Capital of Seoul to protest the
killing of a university student by
police torture.
Police dispersed the rock and
bottle throwing crowds with tear
gas and riot gear. The crowds
often regrouped and challenged
police again.
The main rally was scheduled
for 2 p.m. at Myungdong
Cathedral, but police prevented
all entry to the cathedral by
blocking the streets in the area
the night before.
Leaflets were distributed by
the demonstrators denouncing
South Korean President Chun
Doo-hwan with slogans saying:
"Drive out U.S. imperialists,"
"Down with the murderous
regime . . .," "Down with dic-
tatorship."
The government anticipating
a large demonstration had 70,000
police officers keeping order in
South Korean's major cities. Half
of these could be found in Seoul.
Much of the violence could be
attributed to police who drove off
demonstrators by beating them
and using vast quantities of tear
gas.
It was the police that in-
terrogated Park Jungehul, a 21-
year-old linguistics student
subsequently causing his death
by repeatily putting his head in a
tub of water.

For the first time in six years,
the Longwood Men's Basketball
team has something besides a
raucous crowd to cheer it on at
home games. Under the direction
of Longwood Director of Bands,
Ralph Mohr, a new pep band has
been put together with some of
the members of the Longwood
Concert band.
Mohr says the major reason
there hadn't been a pep band in
six years is that there were not
enough people. It entered into
what Mohr called "a vicious
circle," meaning that a band
couldn't be put together until
students joined, and students
wouldn't join until there was an
actual band. Mohr, who has been
an instructor at the college for
the past two and half years, says
the "circle" was broken when
they made the band open to
members of the community.
Expect more things from the
band in the future. Mohr talks of
potentially playing at every home
game, and of traveling with the
team for some away games. The
pep band is not able to play
before all home games currently
because of various schedule
conflicts with the band members.
The band now has a solid,
twelve person core to build on.
But for now, show your support
for the Lancers, and jam with the
pep band.

The Chain Is Broken
I
Respecting Our P.E. Majors "^"^"^"^ •"■s^^
By KATIUNA CABINDA
Recently, a chain letter hit
Longwood College and as all
chain letters, it was a hoax
devised to bring people good luck.
Those that are superstitous would
never break the chain in fear that
their lives would be adversely
altered. The following is the
chain letter as it was circulating
the campus:
Bless someone you love when
you get this letter; make magic.
This letter has been sent to you
for good luck. The original copy is
in England. It has been around
the world nine times. The luck
has been sent to you — you will
receive good luck in 4 days
receiving this letter providing
that you in turn send it back out.
This is no joke, send out copies to
people you think need luck. Do
not send money because fate has
no price. Do not keep this letter.
It must leave your hands within
96 hours.
An RAF Officer received
$70,000. Joe Elliot received
$40,000 and lost it because he
broke the chain. While in the
Phillipines, Gene Welch lost his
wife 6 days after receiving
this letter. He had failed to cir-
culate this letter. However, after
circulating the letter he received
$7,775. Please send M copies of
this letter and see what happens
in 4 days. The chain came from
Venezuela and was written by
Saul Anthony de Graft, a
missionary, from South America.
Since the letter must take a tour
of the world, xerox 20 copies and
send them to your friends and
associates, after 4 days you will
get a surprise. This is true even if
you are not very lucky.
To note the following, con-
stantine Rice received the chain
letter and asked his secretary to
make 20 copies and send them
out. A few days later he received
a lottery ticket for two million
dollars; Amie Daddist, an office
employee, received the letter and
forgot it had to leave her hand
within 96 hours. She lost her job.
After Mr. Fairchilds, received
the letter and not believing threw
the letter away, nine days later
he died. Remember, send no
money and don't ignore this
letter. It works!
If you should receive this letter,
dispose of it. If you choose to keep
it, mail it because Friday the 13th
is just around the comer.
By KATIE PARSONS
Out of the majors on campus
many receive the credit they're
due; however, one major in
particular is lacking sorely in the
respect they deserve. To many
people the physical education
majors of the world are just a
bunch of "dumb jocks." Well,
many people are wrong. A
student wouldn't stop to question
a science majors classes. Let's
face it, if you were stuck in the
middle of a physical chemistry
class you'd go into shock. Then
why are the physical education
majors looked down upon?
Perhaps because of the number
of activity classes they are
required to take. As any physical
education major will tell you,
college activity classes are
nothing like high school. You
don't have to survive through the
monotonous skills, you actually
have to "Master" them. In ad-
dition to the activity classes and
the everpresent general ed.
requirements a physical
education major has an assort-
ment of "regular" classes that
are required. Anatomy and
Physiology, Motor Learning, and
Kinesiology are a few that leave
shivers down a physical
education majors spine. These
aren't easy classes. I've heard
many a physical education major
complain about the horrors of
their 3 credit classes. I even know
that some of their classes are
repeated more than once.
Physical education majors aren't
"dumb jocks", they will help our
children grow up health con-
scious. The next time you're
tempted to put down a physical
education major stop and think
not only about how hard their
classes really are, but about how
dull your school days would have
been without a physical workout
that got your nose out of the
books.

Class colors. An editorial in the
same issue denied this was a
tradition and pointed out the
dangers of climbing up to the
roof.
Safety considerations finally
prompted the bell's removal, Dr.
Heintz said.
A photo in a 1972 issue of The
Rotunda shows the newly elected
freshman class president
climbing up on a scaffold to ring
the bell. Apparently, it was a
tradition for the officers of
student organizations to ring the
bell, said Dr. Jordan.
"College bells regulated the
residential rather than the
academic life of their institution
and the spread of clocks and
watches made most of this
ringing obsolete," according to
the book Bells and Man, By
Percival Price.
A bell at Oxford University in
England still rings 101 times (the
one-time size of the student body )
at 9 every evening, a 441-year-old
custom that reminds students
they have to be inside the campus
walls, the book said. "Of course,
nowadays nobody heeds it but
everybody likes to hear it."
At the University of Georgia,
where Dr. Jordan was once a
graduate student, it was a
tradition for freshmen to ring a
campus bell all night long the
evening before football games
with rival Georgia Tech, he said.
The bell probably will be
placed in the Rotunda, on the first
floor of Ruffner, between the
front door and the office of the
vice president for Student
Affairs. Its role will be that of a
"museum artifact," Dr. Jordan
said, adding that it would be
inappropriate to return it to its
former location.

parking spaces, leave on Monday
and come back Friday af-
ternoon.... When the going gets
tough go to the Bahamas.
Don't you just hate it when your
lying on your back doing flys and
someone drops a 35 lb weight on
your groin? Me too. With the aid
of Ray Leage and Andy Struhar
(body builders of some fame and
expertise in the Farmville area),
I have come up with a few points
of proper etiquette to ease the
turmoil and confusion of the
Lancer Spa (weight room).
1) DON'T CALL IT A
GYM. Longwood has spent
numerous funds on the decour of
the Lancer spa (weight room). A
gym smells like old socks, and is
full of tattooed frat boys with
names like Bam Bam, Tonto and
Weezer. In contrast Lancer Spa is
the ultimate in cleanliness and
clientel. You will rarely see dirt
on the floor or the spit of sexually
frustrated dolts on the mirrors.
2) DRESS IN THE PROPER
LOCKER ROOM. That means
women in the one marked
women, and men in the one
marked men. There shouldn't be
any trouble at Lancer Spa
facilities, for our locker rooms
are clearly marked (?).
3) DON'T PAW AT THE
FEMALES IN THE SPA. Thats
not what they are there for (?).,
even though their leotards look
like Playboy Biinny costumes,
except they fit much tighter.
Besides, the one your lurching
towards may be Big Mike's
girlfriend. Touch her, and he'll
break your face.
4) WEAR PROPER ATTIRE IN
WORKOUT AREA. Does this
mean you have to go out and
spend a hundred bucks on new
exercise cloths?.... Yes! Unlike a
gym were basic gray sweats you
wore in high school and torn
street cloths from the gutters of
Philadelphia are acceptable,
Lancer Spa is very maticulous
about it's clientels attire. No less
than the latest European fitness
styles will be accepted.
5) WAH YOUR TURN ON THE
EQUIPMENT. This doesn't
mean you lean against the squat
rack looking at your watch and
rolling your eyes toward the
ceiling while you wait for an open
bench. You'll keep this in mind
when you are lying on the bench
with fallen weight on your chest,
wondering if the pain in your gut
is just a pain or an honest-to-God
rupture.
6) DON'T DO CRUNCHES OR
Srr-UPS AFTER EATING ARA
FOOD. Lancer and Public health
ordinances as well as common
decency forbid this. (FLATUS
UNGERS!)
7) REPLACE BARBELLS AND
DUMBELLS ON THEIR
PROPER RACKS. Unless you've
found that you've ruptured
yourself, in which case you are
excused.
8) DON'T DROP YOUR
DUMBELL ON OTHER SPA
USERS. This is the worst thing
you can do in terms of its severe
negative effects it will ever have
on your popularity. SCENARIO—
your bringing your weights back
to the t'ack, to turn to watch Susy
Rottencrotch do a squat— then
suddenly... HEY, watch it fella!
Jeeze, now you've done it, look at
the poor guy you just hit. He's got
both fists stuffed between his legs
and he's turning purple! Hey, If I
was you I would apologize quick.
Just bend over to where he's
squirming on the ground and say
"Sorry, Big Mike." On second
thought, maybe it would be better
to make a more formal apology
by telegram from Mongolia.

JOSEPH WAS A SMASH FACULTY
FOLLIES
Post Office Pleas
By JENNIFER FORD
February 4 the Longwood
Series of Performing Arts
brought us the musical "Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat". It was presented by
the Barksdale Theatre of
Hanover, Virginia.
The play packed Jarman
Auditorium. Students were ad-
mitted to the play free of charge
with an I.D., and there were 500
tickets reserved for Longwood
students, which had to be picked
up that day at the Student Union
office in Lankford. Needless to
say, the theatre was filled to
capacity. The show started a
little behind schedule and the
crowd was restless.
At first I found the show too
hoaky for words. Then the laughs
started rolling out and the entire
audience simply enjoyed the
silliness of the play.
The play was about the
misfortune of Joseph, the
favorite son of Jacob. Joseph's 11
jealous brothers sold him into
slavery and told their father he
had been killed. By the hand of
fate, Joseph became a powerful
man in the Egyptian government
and by the end of the play he is
reunited with his father and
brothers. There is a happy end-
ing.
The music varied from Michael
Jackson takeoffs. ta Jamaican
stylized music. All of the songs
had a laugh in them. The dancing
added to the humor of the play
and to the high energy level that
the play gave to the audience.
I feel sorry for those who chose
not to see the play or couldn't get
a ticket. I came into the
auditorium feeling stressed and
sick of the world. When I walked
out of the doors I felt like I might
just be able to make it through
this next week of deadlines and
tests.
The students of Longwood
should encourage the arts
program to bring in more acts
like these.

Andrew W. Hull, former
supervisor of music education for
the Roanoke City public schools,
has donated to Longwood College
"a sizeable collection" of in-
struments and musical books and
literature.
"Because of his generosity, we
now have instruments that had
been missing from our in-
ventory," Mohr said. "He also
has given us a collection of
musical theory books and in-
strumental technique books
which has allowed us to greatly
expand our music holdings in
those areas. Mr. Hull has been
very supportive of the music
program."
Among the instruments are two
tubas, several saxophones, four
Flugel horns, and a variety of
percussion instruments and
accessories, said Mohr.
Mr. Hull, a longtime Roanoke
resident, is retired. Before
becoming music supervisor for
the Roanoke school system, he
was bandmaster at Jefferson
Senior High School and Monroe
Junior High School for a total of
26 years, during which his bands
won 15 national championships.
He served for 22 years as
bandmaster of the Virginia Army
National Guard 90th Army Band,
a marching unit he helped
organize in 1947.

Longwood's Landmark Bell
By KENT BOOTY
Of the Longwood
PubUc Affairs Office
The Longwood College bell, a
landmark that governed the lives
of students for perhaps as long as
a century, may be put on per-
manent display during the
college's 150th anniversary in
1989.
The bell — the object of late-
night pranks by countless
students — is expected to be
restored and placed in the
Rotunda. It has been stored in the
basement of Graham Building
since being taken down from the
roof of Ruffner Hall in 1976, about
15 years after it was last rung
officially by the college.
For generations of Ix)ngwood
students, the bell awakened them
in the morning, rang for classes
and meals, and signaled the end
of the day. It was enclosed in a
cupola on the roof of South
Ruffner, near its junction with
East Ruffner.
"Some friends told me that
people in town did their
housekeeping by that bell," said
Jane Andrews, a Longwood
alumna who works in the alumni
office. "They practically lived by
that bell."
The bell measures 36 inches in
diameter and probably weighs
between 700 and 800 pounds.
Had it not been for the Interest
of a Longwood carpenter, the bell
might never have seen the light of
day again.
Jim Blake, a member of the
physical plant staff, was con-
cerned that the bell might
eventually disappear if nothing
was done. "Last July, he told me,
'I know you're interested in old
things. There's an old bell I'd like
to show you,'" recalled Dr.
James Jordan, associate
professor of anthropology. "A
few days later, after looking at it,
I got a notice about the
Sesquicentennial celebration. It
seemed like the perfect con-
junction."
Dr. Jordan soon gave a
proposal to Longwood President
Janet Greenwood and discussed
the bell with the Historical
Reflections Committee, a sub-
committee of the Sesquicen-
tennial Steering Committee. Both
Dr. Greenwood and the com-
mittee, to which Dr. Jordan
belongs, liked the idea of putting
the bell on display.
Dr. Jordan is hoping that
someone from the Virginia
Research Center for Archeology,
many of whose staff members
serve as consultants to Colonial
Williamsburg, can inspect the
bell, so that the college might
better proceed with its
restoration. Longwood is seeking
private funds for the restoration.
The earliest reference to a bell
that Dr. Jordan found is in an 1859
brochure for Longwood, then
called the Farmville Female
College. "One hour after the
rising bell, the boarders
assemble with the teachers in the
parlor for family prayers," it
said.
The 1902 issue of The Virginian,
Longwood's yearbook, contains
the passage, "When the big bell
rings, the girls come trooping
in..." In the college's financial
records for 1903-04, there are four
entries for "repairs and im-
provements to the school bell."
"Whether the 'rising beU', the
'big bell' and the 'school bell' are
the same bell, we cannot be
sure," said Dr. Jordan. "I'll bet
money they're all the same, but
we don't have any way to prove
that."
Over the years, the bell proved
irresistable to student
pranksters.
"One night, a classmate and I
tied the clapper with ironing
board covers and towels so it
wouldn't ring," said Dr. Nancy
Andrews, a member of the Class
of 1959 who is on the physical
education faculty. "Everybody
was late for classes the next
day."
"The next night, after they said
we couldn't do anything to
prevent it from ringing, we went
up there again. We tied fishing
wire to the clapper and extended
it until we got it into a (dorm)
room. We rang the beU all night
long. People in town were calling
the college and saying, 'Stop
ringing that dam bell.'"
Alumni director Nancy
Shelton, a member of the Class of
1968, recalled that students would
paint the bell red or green,
depending on their class year.
About half of the bell contains a
fading coat of red paint.
"Sometimes students would tie
the clapper with a rope and throw
it over a roofline so they could
ring it from their rooms, like in
Tabb," Mrs. Shelton said. "I
rememl)er it ringing at 2 a.m.
sometimes."
The college probably quit using
the bell in 1960 or 1961. Dr.
Andrews remembers it being
used as late as 1959, and Dr. Mary
Heintz, a retired administrator
and faculty member, said it was
no longer rung when she arrived
in 1962.
In 1962, acting president Fred
Wygal announced that painting
the bell was prohibited. A letter
to the editor in The Rotunda, the
student newspaper, protested the
revoking of the "cherished
tradition" of painting it with

Princeton University.
In the meet with Radford,
Ix)ngwood again improved its
overall team score. The scores in
all events also improved with the
exception of vaulting. The
Lancers had four no-fall routines
on the beam. The uneven bars,
however, are still giving the team
trouble.

bothered by a shoulder injury,
she did well enough to be the
Lancers' second high all-around
scorer (33.1).
Lynda Chenoweth again was
longwood's leading scorer. With
her 33.5 she was able to capture
third place in the all-around
competition. Kiersten Artese

"I think our team has bounced

"I would like to think we are
ready to make a real strong bid to
finish in the first division of the
conference."
MDAC teams are jockeying for
position in the league tournament

automatic spots in the tourney,
but numbers four and five will

Freshman Kevin Jefferson,
with a lot of help from his
teammates, sparked Longwood
to 120-87 and 100-61 victories over
KEVIN JEFFERSON
"We played outstanding
defense," said coach Luther.
"We played as good on defense as
we have all year in the first 20
minutes. The first time we played
Pitt-Johnstown we had little time
to a 36-22 three weeks. He hit 12 of 14 field
goals and added 8 assists, 8
rebounds and 2 .steals in 35
minutes of action last week. He's
now Longwood's top guard off-
the-bench.
"He has learned what we are
looking for," said Luther. "Dale
is more oenftctent new, and I'm
real high on him. He's going'to be
an outstanding player for us."
Guard Kevin Ricks has moved
into second place on Longwood's
all-time list of leaders in assists
and steals. The 6-3 co-captain has
327 assists and 231 steals in his
career. He won't catch assist
leader Joe Remar (531), but he
has a shot at passing Jerome
Kersey (251) in steals. Ricks has
82 assists and 71 steals this
season and has averaged 6.0

Ricks was the central figure in

that our team has come a long

Longwood's women's
basketball team, after some
tough going on the road last
week, will seek to bounce back
with a trio of games starting with
a Mason-Dixon matchup at
Randolph-Macon Tuesday night.
The Lady Lancers host St.
Paul's Thursday and visit
Pittsbureh-Johnstown Saturday.
Now 8-11 overall and 2-2 in the
MDAC, Longwood fell at
George Mason Saturday af-
ternoon 65-59 after dropping a
disappointing 68-55 decision at
William & Mary Wednesday
night.
"We had a good effort Saturday
and a respectable performance,"
said Longwood coach Shirley
Duncan. "Angie Hill played
particularly well on defense. She
guarded their top scorer
Veronica Gilliard in our diamond
and one defense."
Hill helped hold Gilliard to 12
points for the game and no field
goals in the second half. The
George Mason scoring leader
was just 3-14 from the floor. In
addition. Hill scored a team-high
14 points. Karen Boska added 12
points and 10 rebounds and
Barbie Burton had 10 points and 6
rebounds.
Duncan termed ner team's
play at William & Mary
"disgusting".
"We played well for about 15
minutes and then ran out of gas,"
said the coach. Longwood held a
34-23 lead at the half, but William
& Mary refused to quit and
battled back to take the win as
Boska, Burton and co-captain
Caren Forbes fouled out. Forbes
and Hill scored 16 points each to
lead Ivongwood against the Tribe.
"We need a maximum effort
from everyone on the team every
second they are in the game to be
successful," said Duncan.
Forbes. Longwood's top socrer
with a 14.1 ppg. average, moved
into second place on the women's
basketball all-time scoring list.
Forbes has 1,314 pomts and has
moved past Florence Hohnes
(1,304). She'll have a tough time
catching leader Sue Rama
(1,471).
Boska has accumulated 973
points and is a good bet to become
the College's eighth lady eager to
score 1,000 or more points.

THE MASTER PLAN BECOMES REALITY
By MEUSSA GIBBS
In its meeting on January 31st,
The Board of Visitors decided to
establish a committee to address
the protests of Citizens to Save
Our NeighJDorhood, a group of
residents upset by their exclusion
from the college's planned
expansion into their
neighborhood. The Master Plan
currently on file with The
Department of Engineering and
Buildings, initially devised in
1976 and updated in 1978, calls for
the acquisition of land south of
Franklin Street to the
intersection of South Main Street
and Griffin Boulevard in addition
to the two blocks south of Bedford
Street. Citizens to Save Our
Neighborhood organized in fall
1985 after learning that The
Board of Visitors had voted in
July to subniit the Master Plan to
the Department of Engineering
and Buildings. An article in The
Farmville Herald on February
4th quoted spokesman for the
citizens' group James Ghee as
stating it was'" a slap in our face
for Longwood to develop a
Master Plan that drastically
impacts on the black community
and the black community not
have any input into it, and to have
a public hearing to show us the
project completed, saying "this
is it, we're going on with it." ' "
The Board of Visitors has put
on hold further implementation
of the plan pending the proposal
of alternatives found by the
newly appointed committee
composed of the Longwood staff,
and members of the Board of
Visitors and the community.
Meanwhile, the college will
complete two land transactions
already in progress. The
transactions involve the
acquisition of the Branch
property at South Main and
Hooper Streets and the Adkins
property at South Main and
Franklin Streets. Longwood
students will welcome the
parking area proposed to be built
on the Adkins property. The
present Master Plan also
includes proposals for the
construction of two dorms, a
pedestrian mall, a new library,
tennis courts, and additional
parking areas.

A special committee has been formed by Ricky Otey, SGA
President, called the Academic Advisory Committee. This com-
mittee has about twenty-five members from the student body. Two
subcommittees have been set up to undertake two problems:
communication between the students and faculty and teacher
evaluations. The communications subcommittee is headed by Holly
Daughtery and the teacher evaluation subcommittee is headed by
Noah Wood.
At the end of each semester, students are asked to fill out
evaluations. After this is done, students never hear or see the
results. These surveys are generic and ask questions that don't give
an indepth sight into hov/ the students feel about the teachers. The
teacher may be the nicest person in the world, but may have the
worst teaching methods. This cannot be shown on the surveys.
At U.VA., a book is available at their bookstore concerning
teachers. This book is put together by students. It tells certain
characteristics and teaching methods of the faculty. This can be a
great help to students before registration. It can also be a form of
constructive criticism for the teacher. Teachers should not feel
defensive about this book. Ricky Otey will be sending out a letter to
each faculty member about the meetings of the committee. This
gives everyone an opportunity to voice opinions.

Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
My room smells like a
laundromat right now. It does
every time I do my laundry
because the dryers on this
campus are relics from the dawn
of man. I put my last fifty cents
into the dryer, left, came back
forty minutes later to take my
clothes out only to find them just
as wet as they were when I put
them in.
1 had to roam around my hall
and beg for someone to give me
two quarters for my assorted
dimes, nickels, and pennies. I am
a poor college student. My budget
doesn't allow for three dollars
just to dry four pair of jeans,
To the editor:
After reviewing the Substance
Abuse Task Force Committee
report, we feel that it is essential
that SGA take a position that will
express the needs and concerns
of the students.
We support Longwood's effort
to adhere to state laws. A lot of
colleges around the state,
Longwood included, are dealing
with the problem of substance
abuse. As an institution of higher
learning, it is of the utmost
importance that we educate these
individuals. After carefully
studying the issue, we make the
following recommendations:
Education:
1) Substance Abuse should be
studied more in Health Courses.
2) The "Drugs, Alcohol and
Tobacco" course now being
socks and some T-shirts.
I have got better things to do
with my money and my time
than to fight with our worn out
Stone Age dryers. I am from
Richmond and it is cheaper for
me to road trip home on Sundays
to do my laundry than to do it
here. One reason Longwood may
be a Suitecase college is that the
student body can't afford to do
their laundry here and they
aren't about to walk around in
last week's clothes that has beer,
food or God knows what else on it.
Do you want to get near a jock
who is wearing the same sweats
that he wore last week to lift in?
I know I don't.
offered should be stressed more
by tne advisors, for freshmen.
Alternative Programs
1) We will encourage campus
clubs to use the Rotunda and
WLCX to advertise events.
2) We will encourage students
to be more active in Student
Union activities.
3) We will set up a meeting
between student leaders and the
local ABC agent to reach a
common ground in hopes of
bringing back the "Longwood
Mixer."
Standard and Enforcement
1) We will encourage the
Judicial Board to give tougher
sanctions to offenders of alcohol
policy. We trust that the
administration will support this
action.
We want the laws of this state
l.«ngwood is getting alot of
money to build a new library. I
think that the one we've got is
adequete. Why can't we get
something we really need, LIKE
CLOTHES DRYERS THAT DO
WHAT THEY ARE MEANT TO
DO??????
It is so embarrassing to have
all of your underwear hanging
from your chair and clothes rack
when someone that you've been
scamming on all semester drops
by.

looks like all of my drawers

sure that I am not alone.

to be enforced. We don't,
however, want to impede those
who do drink legally and
responsibly.
The recommendations we've
made may seem small. But it is
our belief that the same student
body that received the
Governor's award for its work
during Alcohol Awareness Week,
can and will take control of this
problem.
The Student Government
Association eagerly awaits the
opportunity to work with the
acbninistration on this issue and
many others. Longwood is a
leader in this state, and will
continue to be, as long as we work
together.

Project Democracy
Circumvented Congress
By MATT PETERMAN
□ According to the
Tower Commission, appointed
by President Reagan to
investigate the Iran Arms
Deal, a covert foreign policy
operation was run from the White
House through the National
Security Council. The project,
called Project Democracy was in
place for four years headed by
fired White House aide, Oliver
North.
This secret policy branch of
the government had its own
conrununications systems, ships,
airplanes, bank accounts, and
corporations that it used to
achieve its goals.
A ppar ently , Project
Democracy is the secret arm of a
public organization Reagan
supported many years ago. The
National Endowment for
Democracy was established to
openly give federal money to
Democratic institutions around
the world.
It was clearly a way The White
House used to circumvent
Congress and other
governmental organizations.
Project Democracy was well in
place when the Iran-Contra affair
was in its planning stages. Many
congressmen believe it is illegal
and will further investigate the
project.
The big question remains: How
much did President Reagan know
about the actions of an
organization that he created.
Q Police said that four
gunmen walked into a
restaurant in Queens, N. Y. and
opened fire on the people inside.
No motive could be related to the
shootings that wounded five
people, two of them critically.
The incident occurred at 1:30
a.m. Saturday morning at an
Asian restaurant. The four
gunmen were Asians themselves
and remain at large.
Speculation that gang war
might be flaring up in the city
doesn't seem apparent, but could
be one possible motive.

Resigns
From
H-SC
THE ROTUNDA Page 3
By MICHAEL GEOLY
Josiah Bunting III, President
of Hampden-Sydney, will be
leaving the college after ten
years at his position on July 1,
1987. Bunting's departure is no
surprise to the college, for his
resignation was submitted in
December of 1985. Reason
for his resignation was
was the Head Master position at
Lawrenceville School, a
prestigious boarding school in
New Jersey which is just turning
co-ed from all male.
Bunting's position is being
filled by James R. Leutze,
chairman of the Curriculum in
Peace, War, and Defense at the
University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill. He was named
President of Hampden-Sydney
College in a special convocation
on February fifth. Leutze's
accolades include the Bemath
Prize for publication in the area
of American foreign policy in
1978, and the John Lyman Book
Award in U. S. Naval History in
1981.
The new president is bringing
about both anxiety and
speculation among H-SC students
because of Leutze's lack of
administrative experience;
however, the Selection
Committee which chose Leutze
feels that their decision was a
good one.

Toilet Paper After Two
By MATT PETERMAN
During Longwood's game this
past Saturday against Randolph-
Macon, over 20 rolls of toilet
paper were tossed onto the court
delaying the game for several
minutes. The toilet paper was
tossed onto the court after
Longwood's first basket was
scored, filling the air with a
display of streamers similiar to
that of a grand parade.
In an attempt to eliminate the
growing fear that someone may
be injured from toilet paper and
other objects thrown from the
stands, the NCAA dictates that a
technical foul will be given to the
team whose fans throw objects
onto the court. The technical foul
can be given without warning,
but usually a warning is issued.
A warning was issued by the
announcer at the Longwood
game that said that any
successive rolls would be
rewarded with a technical foul
against the home team. No other
incident of toilet paper flying onto
the court occurred as the fans
continued to cheer the Lancers
for the remainder of the game.
The throwing of toilet paper
and other objects is a problem
that any basketball league faces.
A technical foul is most
commonly assigned after such an
event has taken place.
The fear that fans may begin
throwing other objects like ice
could result if the throwing of
toilet paper is not handled with
severity. The safety of the
players and officials on the court
as well as those on the bench has
prompted the use of the technical
foul.
Home Sweet Home
ByTERRESABUELOW
As a former resident of South
Cunningham, I was very
interested in knowing where all
the people were moved to, and
how many former roommates
were able to stay together. So off
I went to get the information
from Mr. Rick Wyble.
According to Mr. Wybel, the
female residents had it lucky.
The majority of the former
roommates were able to stay
together. The seniors were even
luckier by being able to stay in
the Cunninghams. The rest were
moved to different locations on
campus.
For the guys, it was another
story. The seniors pretty much
had it made and stayed with
former roommates and also in
the Cunninghams. As did the
juniors who moved to other
locations too.
On the night of room selection
for the sophomores and
freshmen, there were only three
vacant rooms. So Mr. Wybel put
off choosing for another two days
in a attempt to open more rooms.
Here's what resulted: Eight
rooms were opened on all
female halls (that is, whole suites
and triples in Frazer and Curry)
the apartment in Cox was
opened, and finally, four students
moved off campus.
The moving went smoothly,
except for the week delay due to
the snow. Also, Mr. I^mish made
arrangements with Centel for
former residents to have their
phones connected in the new
rooms free of charge.
I am sure that I am speaking in
behalf of all the former residents
of South Cunningham when I
thank Mr. Wybel and all the
others who put so much effort
into an almost impossible task.

This poll is being printed in an effort to keep the students of Longwood College
infornned as to what fellow campus-dwellers are up to, while at the same time
offering still another opportunity for involvement in campus events.
Next week, we hope to print the total number of shoes on campus. This can only
be made possible if you return this poll to the Rotunda by nnidnight. Sunday. Feb-

As an incentive for those of you who may be a bit wary of polls, the Rotunda
will buy a whole Domino's pizza for the dorm containing the most shoes.

on the participation of everyone on campus. Hurry! Thank you!

The future of concerts is in
jeopardy because there are
inadequate funds to support
major or minor productions. A
band liice the Bangles or Survivor
charge a flat fee of $10,000-15,000.
Then the cost of sound and
lighting ($5,000), hospitality,
advertising, security, staging,
Concerning last week's Rotunda Write-In Poll:
Last week's poll was a poll on polls. Thank you to the eleven of you
who returned your ballots.
The first poll (two weeks ago) was an attention-getter to kick off
the soon-to-be long-upheld tradition of the Rotunda Write-In Poll.
It got the attention of a whole big two of you uninvolved
hypocrites.
Everybody around here has something to say about this or that on
campus, but hardly anyone takes the initiative to change any of the
things they find to complain about. Helping bring about reform does
not necessarily entail heaps of petitions or hours and hours of rallying.
A simple letter to the editor could start the ball rolling in the right
direction. Yet we're lucky if the newspaper receives one letter a week.
Another way to voice your opinions on conditions of things around
you is by filling out polls and surveys circulated on campus. But 5 out
of the 11 that answered last week's "poll" poll said they had never
before returned a school survey. That's 45 percent — almost half of the
students represented had never taken the two or three minutes it takes
to fill out a single survey.
Let's hope those eleven people did not represent a realistic cross-
section of the school — if they do, we're in big trouble . . .
By G WEN WALKER
The possibility of future
concerts at Longwood depends on
you — the student body. And the
best way that you can help is by
filling out the Rotunda-S-UN
Concert Poll and returning it to
either the Rotunda or Lankford
offices as soon as possible.
and agency fees could sum up to
another $10,000 to 15,000. The
total cost of the production could
be anywhere from $20,000 to
40,000.
S-UN's budget for the 1986-«7
year was $42,000. This money
funds ALL of the activities which
S-UN sponsors. Unless we can
increase our current budget, we
will be lucky to produce one
major concert a year. It is too big
of a risk to produce a concert that
could wipe-out all of our funds
unless we are sure that we have
students' support to attend these
events.
PLEASE, begin to show your
support for these activities by
filling out the Poll. The more

The ViNit
By KIM TALLEY
The Ijongwood Players and the
Speech and Theatre Program
will present Friedrich
Durrenmatt's The Visit of the
Old Lady February 25th through
February 28th at 8:00 p.m. in
Jarman Auditorium. There will
be a Special Matinee
performance at 10 a.m. on
February 27th.
Durrenmatt's compelling
tragi-comedy is set in a small
improverished German town
called Guellen. The play opens to
a town full of hopeful, expectant
citizens awaiting the arrival of
Clair Zachanassin. They are
hoping that Clair, a previous
inhabitant of the town, will save
them from poverty. By the end of
the play, she is the savior. The
town does, indeed, gain wealth.
However, the town will never be
the same for when they gained
wealth, they lost something even
more valuable: their souls! . . .
Our talented cast and crew are
working very hard to bring
Diirrenmatt's fateful story to
life. Between Dr. Patton
I^ckwood's artistic direction and
Moffat Evan's technical designs,
the play is sure to be a success!

From 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., the
nationally syndicated Powerline
Top 40 can be heard every
Sunday on Longwood's own
WLCX 90.1 FM. Andre Freimann
will be your host for this half-hour
of the most popular tunes of the
day as presented by Brother John
of the Radio and TV Commission
of the Southern Baptist
Convention.
This program is made possible
by the work of WLCX Music
Director Cindy Good, who, since
Infotrac II Here
taking office at the Degmnmg of
the Fall Semester 1986, has
acquired many free record
services for WLCX.
Cindy, along with members of
the radio staff, hope to attain
more types of programs to place
on the air in the future. Cindy is
currently working on compiling
play lists from all the DJ's to be
sent to record companies such as
RCA, Columbia and CBS. In
doing this, the station hopes to
begin receiving record service
from these companies soon and
build up its library. This is to
better offer the Longwood
College community an expanded
variety of music and
programming.

To Help
By MARNA BUNGER
Students who specialize in
procrastination will be happy to
hear about the latest addition to
the library. Infotrac II is an
electronic addition to the
Magazine Index Plus. It has more
than a Ms million articles from
business, technical, general
interest magazines, and the New
York Times. The best news of all
is no training is required to
operate the machine. It uses
color coded function keys.
One can search for a topic
using the author, title, subject,
and corporate and personal
names. Under individual subject
headings, the references are
further organized by various
subheadings or a display of
related subjects. One unusual
feature that is new is the Infotrac
II can print the selected
references to create
bibUographies.
According to Mr. Stwodah,
"Infotrac II is the most updated
index a library could have." The
index goes back five years and is
updated each month. This new
technology, which is fast and
easy, should be welcome relief to
students who want current
information quickly.

Rugby Is Back
By DAVE LARSON
Longwood Rugby is back. It's
time for the Rugby team to begin
their spring season. This season
should be full of fun and
excitement. Longwood is hosting
3 home games this season and
participating in two
tournaments. After their very
successful season last semester,
they're looking to do fairly well.
The team is losing a few key
players which might hurt them,
however, there are a few key
players coming back. Both Tim
Seymour and Dave Grant the
player coaches are returning,
which should help a great deal.
There are about 15 returners
from both the A side and B side.
There are going to be quite a few
changes in the lineup anticipated.
The team started practice on
Monday the 9th of Feb. They
were forced to start a week late
t)ecause of the massive amounts
of snow that covered the field.
For those of you interested in
playing don't hesitate to come out
to practice which is held Men. -
Thur., 4:30 to 6:00. Don't think
you need experience t>ecause it
isn't necessary.
We don't anticipate on having a
great semester like last
semester. With the support from
all of our fans such as the
tailgaters and the entire student
body we should do very well.
There is nothing like sitting back
in the sun on a Saturday
afternoon and watching a good
Longwood Rugby game. Last
year our fans were great and we
would like to extend our gratitude
to all of them for their support.
Just don't stop supporting us.
We open our season Saturday
Feb. 21 at home against William
and Mary. The following week we
travel to Va. Tech for another
real tough match. These two
games are going to be very
difficult ones. Come out and
support the state champion team.
I asked one of the coaches, Tim
Seymour, how he thought the
team would do this year, he
replied, "We should do rather
good, We're not as strong as last
semester but all the guys out
have the desire to do good. A lot
will depend on how much support
we get from our spectators."
Remember the first game of
the season will be Feb. 21st at
home. Everyone, students,
faculty and administrators are
urged to come out and support
the Rugby team. This is the
Longwood football team that
everyone is looking for.
Player of the Week
Senior guard Caren Forbes
scored 65 points in three games
last week and has been named
Ungwood College Player of the
Week for the period February 8-
15. Player of the Week is chosen
by the Longwood sports
information office.
Longwood's top scorer this
season with a 15.1 ppg. average,
Forbes hit 25 of 54 field goals, 15
of 18 free throws, and collected 12
rebounds, 22 assists and 13 steals
as the Lady Lancers won two of
three games.
Forbes, who scored 23 points
Saturday against Pittsburgh-
Johnstown, is now within range of
Longwood's all-time leading
scorer Sue Rama (1,471 points,
1974-78). The 5-6 guard has 1,379
points with at least five games
left to play. She needs 92 points
the rest of the way to tie Rama.
Already Longwood's all-time
leader in assists, Forbes has
dished out 126 scoring passes this
season and has 497 career assists.
A graduate of Middle Township
High School, Forbes is a senior
co-captain with the Lady Lancer
basketball team. This is the
second Longwood Player of the
Week honor for the New Jersey
native this season.
Lady^8 Rugby
For all you females who are
interested in playing Rugby there
is a girls' Rugby team this
semester. The practices are Mon-
Thur. 3:30 to 4:30 at the
President's field. If you would
like to find out more information
about the team see John Audi or
John Hunt on ground floor Cox.
Gymnastics
Led by senior Kerri Hruby,
Longwood's women's gymnastics
team recorded two wins Saturday
afternoon, scoring a 163.65 to best
Trenton State 163.60 and
Princeton 140.70. The Lancer
gymnasts will take a 2-3 record
into Saturday's Towson State
Invitational in Towson,
Maryland.
Hruby had the finest
performance of her career
Saturday scoring a 33.15 all-
around to place third in the
overall meet. She also scored a
first in beam with an 8.25 and was
second in floor with an 8.70.
"Kerri did especially well
Saturday," said coach Ruth
Budd. "It was one of the highest
meets she has had.
Other top performers tor
Longwood included Lynda
Chenoweth 8.65 in floor (tied for
second), Kiersten Artese second
in vaulting with an 8.5, Kim Booth
third in floor with an 8.55 and
Debbe Malin first in bars with an
8.75 and tied for fourth in vaulting
with an 8.4.
Men's Basketball
Longwood's men's basketball
team, 12-12 overall and 3-4 in the
Mason-Dixon Conference, will be
looking to nail down a winning
season this week with three
games on tap. The Lancers, after
visiting NAIA power Atlantic
Christian Monday night, visit
MDAC foe Randolph-Macon
Wednesday night and host
Ferrum Saturday in what will be
the final home appearance for
seniors Eric Pittman, Kevin
Ricks and Quintin Kearney.
Longwood is virtually assured
of at least a tie for third place in
the Mason-Dixon Conference
regular season race The teams
which finish fourth and fifth will
have to play-off for the fourth
spot in the league tournament
February 27-28 at Randolph-
Macon.
Lady Cagers
Sparked by the play of senior
Caren Forbes, Longwood's Lady
Lancer basketball team won two
of three games last week, and
senior center Karen Boska went
over the 1,000 point mark in
career scoring.
Longwood, 10-12 overall and 3-3
in the Mason-Dixon Conference,
has three games on tap this week,
before hosting District of
Columbia next Tuesday in its
home finale. In MDAC action
Longwood visits Liberty Tuesday
and fourth ranked Mount St.
Mary's Saturday. Thursday
night Division I Maryland
Baltimore County visits Lancer
Hall for a 7:30 contest which will
feature Domino's Dollar Grab
Contest at halftime. Three lucky
ticket holders will have the
chance to pick as many of 50 one
dollar bills as possible in 15
seconds.
THE ROTUNDA Page 7
Grapplers Still Going Strong
Longwood's grapplers had an
outstanding stretch of wrestling
last week prior to Saturday's
regional tournament in Lancer
HaU.
The Lancers downed
Washington & Lee (29-18) for the
first time in their nine-year
history Wednesday night. In
Saturday's tri-match Longwood
defeated Campbell College (26-
24), but lost a tough match to
Livingstone (24-23) to end the
regular season 9-4, the best dual
meet record Longwood has ever
posted.
Saturday, Longwood will host
the Southern Regional NCAA
Division II Wrestling
Championship. Semifinal action
begins at 10:00 and the finals
start at 2:00 Saturday afternoon.
Competing along with the
Lancers will be nationally ranked
Liberty University and
Pembroke State.
At stake in the regional
tournament are berths in the
NCAA Division II National
Championships March 5-7 at
Edwardsville, Illinois. One of
Longwood's top grapplers, Pete
Whitman won't have a chance to
compete for a spot in nationals.
Whitman, 142 lbs., dislocated
his elbow Saturday against
Livingstone and had to default to
an opponent he probably could
have beaten. Whitman, 17-8-1, is
expected to be out for the
remainder of the season with the
injury. According to coach Steve
Nelson, he has been one of
Longwood's most consistent
wrestlers in the latter half of the
season.
Tommy Gilbert, 150 lbs., and
Billy Howard, 158 lbs., 20-7 for the
season, won their matches
against Livingstone 9-7, and 16-4,
respectively, but were only
inches away from pirming their
opponents. With Longwood
winning 23-21, Jesus Strauss,
heavyweight, lost a hard fought
match 3-0. Tim Fitzgerald, 118
lbs., now 25-3, pinned his man,
while John Stukes, 134 lbs., 21-2-1,
dominated his match 15-0.
In the first match Saturday
afternoon against Campbell
Strauss pinned his man boosting
the Lancers to victory 26-24.
Fitzgerald also pinned his
opponent. Other winners were:
Willie Gaines, 126 lbs., Howard,
and John Kelly, 190 lbs. "Jesus
really came through for us,"
stated Nelson. "He really put in a
clutch performance and we
wrestled well."
Perhaps the sweetest victory
last week was Wednesday's wm
over Washington & Lee. Coach
Nelson, however, was not
overwhelmed with the victory.
"We looked a little tired, but we
wrestled well enough to win."
Winning for the Lancers were:
Fitzgerald (forfeit), Stukes (13-
4), Whitman (4-3), Gilbert (16-6),
Howard (pin, and Strauss (pin).

Miss Longwood Pageant Coining
Ten young women have been
chosen as finalists for the 1987
Miss Longwood Scholarship
Pageant.
They include a former Miss
Teen of Virginia, a former
district champion in Scottish
dancing, the president of the
Ix)ngwood Company of Dancers,
three members of the Camerata
Singers, and the president of the
drill team. Four are finalists
from last year's pageant —
including the top two runners-up
— and four are on academic
scholarships.
The Pageant, on Saturday,
March 21, is a Miss America
preliminary, with the winner
competing in the Miss Virginia
Pageant. Approximately $3,000 in
scholarships will be awarded.
The finalists were chosen from
30 contestants in preliminary
competition last December. They
are:
— Elizabeth Cho, a sophomore
art major from Virginia Beach.
— Sandra Clayton, a
sophomore theatre major from
Richmond.
— Melissa Little, a junior
foreign language major from
Smithfield.
— Carla Lockhart, a

Spring Break:
Around The Corner
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -
Many of the winter-weary college
students who head for Florida
this March will be breaking away
from more than classes — many
will also break the beach routine
for a day or two at Walt Disney
World.
The Vacation Kingdom's
Disney Break '87 is a great way to
enjoy all the one-of-a-kind
attractions in the Magic Kingdom
and Epcot Center at special
prices. Students who present a
valid college ID card when
purchasing tickets for a day at
either the Magic Kingdom or
Epcot Center between March 1
and March 31 pay only $18 — an
$8 savings compared to the
regular one-day admission cost.
The savings get even bigger
when a college student decides to
spend one day at both parks and
purchases the special Disney
Break '87 two-day ticket for $28 -
just $2 more than the normal cost
of a one-day admission. This offer
is also good March 1-31 when used
with a valid college student ID.
The tickets open more than the
doors to America's favorite
vacation destination. Every day
during Walt Disney World's 15th
Birthday year, guests are
walking away from a fabulous
vacation with presents. Walt
Disney World is giving away a
prize every 15 seconds guests are
entering the two parks. Prizes
range from souvenir hats and
pins all the way to a 1987
Chevrolet Cavalier or S-10 pickup
truck daily. Every student who
takes advantage of Disney Break
'87 is eligible for the prizes.
A special 15th Birthday Parade
winds through the Magic
Kingdom daily; and "15 Years of
Magic," a musical show which
has the famous Disney
characters appearing out of thin
air — and disappearing just as
mysteriously — plays the stage in
front of Cinderella Castle several
times each day.
Newest of the world-class
wonders at Epcot Center is
"Captain EO," the fabulous new
Michael Jackson 3-D musical
space adventure produced by
George Lucas and directed by
Francis Coppola. Exciting music,
action and special effects fill
every frame of this movie, which
can only be seen at Walt Disney
World or Disneyland.
Disney Break '87 offers college
students these and the other
attractions which please millions
of guests every year — at special
once-a-year prices.

Miss Lockhart, last year's first
runnerup, was the 1985-86 Miss
Teen of Virginia. Miss Ragan, the
second runnerup, was the
Southeastern District champion
in Scottish dancing in 1983. Miss
Washington and Miss Wood also
were finalists in last year's
pageant.
Miss Shannon is president of
the Longwood Company of
Dancers, and Miss Turner is
president of the recently formed
drill team, known as the Lancer
Line.
Miss Lockhart, Miss Ragan,
Miss Turner and Miss Venters
are recipients of merit-based
scholarships.
Miss Clayton, Miss Wood and

Guest Editorial
In the past, there has been many attempts to change visitation.
However, due to a lack of student participation this has failed to
occur. The Student Government Association is making a last ditch
effort to change the visitation policy, but to do so, your support is
needed.
The Administration is under the impression that the students
are uncertain as to what they want, so it is up to us to let them know
exactly where we stand. We want to change the visitation policy to a
maximum of 23 hours and no less than 12 hours (the present policy) .
However, as stated before, this will never come into being unless
more participation, on the parts of the student body, occurs.
Last semester during the S.G.A. elections, only 741 students
expressed their feelings through voting for or against a change in the
policy. Out of the number that voted the following data was com-
piled:
84 percent of the students felt that the visitation policy should
be changed.
36 percent of the students felt that the change should be only
for upperclassmen.
60 percent of the students felt that both weekend and weekly
visitation hours should be the same.
40 percent of the students felt that each dorm should be able to
set its own policy.
Although the number of participating students was somewhat
high, it was not a sufficient response. If the present policy is to
change, we need at least one thousand (1,000) students to respond to
the newly formed survey. The survey will be passed out by your R.A.
(Resident Assistant) this week. Please fill it out and return to your
R.A, no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday.
The results will be tallied and publicized in The Rotunda. We will
then let you know what will happen next. Together we can pull this
off, but only with your support. Remember, fill out the survey and
return to your R.A. as soon as possible.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
In a recent letter to the editor in
The Chronicle of Higher
Education (February 4, 1987), a
political science professor
referred to you, today's college
students, as "uncaring, insipid,
and drab... a disgrace.... either
sponges or clones... Their ability
to think seemingly abandoned
them at birth..." You get the
general idea, right? Not a very
flattering portrayal, to say the
least— but it's an attitude that I
would suggest is on the minds, if
not the lips, of many educators
today. While this indictment is no
doubt intentionally overstated,
there is enough truth in it to be
taken seriously.
Be honest— what have YOU
done lately to demonstrate that
this image of college students is
anything but right on target? I've
worked with Longwood students
in a variety of roles in my time
here— as a coach, as a classroom
teacher, as an advisor, as a
researcher— and while I would
say that most of you are not an
unthinking "disgrace," there are
To the Editor,
Another snowfall of more than
a foot hit Farmville this past
week, bringing the total of big
snowfalls in the past month up to
three. This, of course, caused the
usual assortment of
"inconveniences" to the students
and employees of the college;
slippery sidewalks, snow bound
cars, and wet feet. However, the
students were also beset by
another inconvenience following
the storms; the inconvenience of
not knowing if classes were
cancelled.
The first snow came in late
January, dumping 13 inches of
snow on the ground and
subsequently cancelling classes
the following day. It was the next
night that the confusion started.
Nobody knew what to expect, as
the administration delayed its
decision until the following
morning. With the snow having
stopped earlier that afternoon,
and with road crews working on
the streets, it should have been
easy enough to decide about
classes by ten o'clock that
evening.
Last week's snow was no
different. Farmville got pounded
with 14 inches of new snow the
night of February 16. And, as it
was with the two previous snows,
the administration delayed its
decision whether or not to close
school until the next morning.
some areas ot concern which you
need to confront, in yourself and
with your peers:
passivity— I don't see many
Longwood students engaging in
an active way in their education,
especially in the classroom
setting. Many times it seems like
you're not thinking because you
don't voice your opinions,
preferring to sit back passively
and let someone else take the
risk. You let the teacher do most,
if not all, the talking, and don't
ask questions even if you're
confused or uncertain about
something. More broadly, you
drift into college because your
parents think it's a good idea and
you don't have anything better to
do, and you drift through four (or
more) years collecting course
credits with little or no sense of
what any of it really means or
how it connects to life in the "real
world."
powerlessness— It seems like
the issue of passivity and being
unengaged is in part a function of
feeling helpless, as if nothing you
could do or say would matter
This despite the fact that
everything was already covered
with 6 inches of snow by 11:00
p.m. that night.
What I'm leading up to with
this is one simple fact: these
decision delays distract the
students. Generally, we either
have classes, or we don't. That
hasn't been the case lately. The
sense of doubt that lingered
following the storms has caused
much of the student body to
behave rather strangely. Last
Monday night, many students
merely sat around and watched
the snow fall. Whereas, on
Tuesday night, with the evidence
pointing towards the college
being open on Wednesday,
students packed the Lancer Cafe
so full there wasn't room to walk.
Such is the case when the
administration delays
Such is the case when the
adniinistration delays deciding.
Longwood, I suggest you set up
some sort of standardized
system, whereby we would know
whether to get up early or not. If
it looks perfectly obvious, as was
the case on the 16th, tell us before
we go to bed— say, at 11 : 00 p.m. If
it's not that obvious, or if
something happens after
midnight, then tell us the
following morning. This should
make things a little easier for all
of us.

Association
anyway. Lacking a real sense of
hope, witiiout a feeling that even
if you can't change society in a
dramatic fashion, you can at
least control your own life and
educational experience, I can see
how one's philosophy of life might
sink to "fight for your right to
party"!!
narrow vocationalism— I
personally see nothing wrong
with being career-oriented, but
too many students are oriented
not to their careers, but to their
first job only, being concerned
about having a guarantee that
they'll get that dream job right
out of college and make mega-
bucks. The reality is that in the
work world of the present and
future, if you want to be truly
career-oriented you'd develop the
best writing, communicating,
and thinking skills you could
develop and then be prepared to
be as adaptable as possible in
approaching your career.
Now, don't you feel better-
instead of being "uncaring,
insipid, and drab," you're
passive, helpless, and narrow!
Believe it or not, this shift is an
improvement, because I think
you can do something about the
picture I presented to you. It's
well within your capacity and
your control to become more
involved with your education in
college, to actively engage in the
opportunities around you so can
achieve success at Longwood and
in life. You'll have to make the
effort, though, to go beyond
sitting quietly in class, beyond
the din of D.T.'s, beyond the
beery haze of the frat party— to
ask questions, to take a positive
role in student or hall
government, to find leadership
roles on campus that will allow
you to develop critical life skills
while making a contribution to
the campus environment. Joining
a student organization is one way
to accomplish these goals, but I
also think you need to engage
your brain in and out of the
classroom, and do something
about concerns you have rather
than just bitching. If you don't
like the way your classes are
taught, find a constructive way to
THE ROTUNDA Page 3
voice those concerns (a student-
run faculty evaluation system
was proposed this past weekend,
which might be a real good idea).
If you don't like the housing
situation, get involved in your
hall council or in the residence
life committees currently
meeting to make suggestions
about improvements. If you
honestly feel that "there's
nothing to do around here," work
through S-UN or other campus
groups (perhaps a joint effort
among several campus groups)
to sjwnsor additional activities.
Of course, you may not get
everything you want— but you
won't know that until you try, and
besides, the process will be
worthwhile either way. Then
again, perhaps it's easier to drift
along, marking time waiting to
be handed a diploma, mumbling
complaints under your breath-
just don't be surprised when
someone calls you "a disgrace."

ROTC EnroUment Up
WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE
By SONNY MERCHANT
and SCOTT ESTES
The Reserve Officers
Training Corps here at Longwood
has gotten off to a strong start
this semester with enrollment at
its highest in three years. Both
cadets and cadre feel a great deal
of optimism for the future of the
ROTC program at Longwood.
The senior cadets (MS IV's)
have good reason to be excited
because the majority of branch
assignments have been made. Six
cadets were selected for active
duty. These cadets and their
branch assignments are: Bobby
Arnold-Quartermaster, Billy
Howard-Ordnance, Kimbra
Patterson-Aviation, Kate
Scanlon-Transportation, Don
Strickland-Ordnance, and John
Wright-Medical Service. Cadets
Patterson, Scanlon, Strickland,
and Wright also received the
honor of Distinguished Military
Graduate.
In addition, the following
cadets were placed on reserve
duty; Fred Grant-Military
Police, Randy Hart-Armor, and
Ted Treece-Quartermaster.
Two cadets have been
recognized for their excellence in
other college activities as well.
Miss Patterson was recently
selected to "Who's Who Among
Students in American Colleges
and Universities." Also, Miss
Scanlon was recognized for
academic excellence last
semester by her placement on the
Dean's list. Congratulations are
also in order to Kevin Wilkins
who was just recently
commissioned as a second
lieutenant.
The Reserve Officers Training
(k)rps has many events planned
for this semester. For details on
these events, or if you have any
questions about ROTC or the
military, just ask any cadet or
come by the ROTC department
located on third floor East

Publishes
Second
Book
By CINDY PRESSON
Dr. Elizabeth W. Etheridge,
Professor of History here at
liongwood College, has published
her second book: The
Neighborhood: Dahloncgo in the
Age of Jackson. The book was
coauthored by Sylvia S. Head.
This is a social history of
Dahloncgo, Georgia during the
antebellum period. It sheds light
on conditions resulting from the
discovery of gold in north
Georgia in the late 1820's.
This is Dr. Etheridge's second
book. Her first was The Butterfly
Caste: A Social History of
Pellegra in the South which won
her national attention. Partly as
a result of her work in medical
history for this first book, Dr.
Etheridge was recently invited
by the National Center of Disease
Control to begin research for a
history of that institution. She has
been granted a leave-of-absence
for Spring of 1967 and the 1967-
1988 academic year to pursue this
opportunity.
During the 1985-1986 academic
year. Dr. Etheridge researched
the origins and development of
vacations in America. She will be
submitting this study for
publication in the future.

History and Government
Department here at Longwood.
Longwood To Host
Science Fair
By MEUSSA GIBBS
Longwood will host the second
annual Southside
Regional Science Fair on Friday,
March 13 and Saturday, March
14. One of 330 regional science
fairs throughout the U.S.
affiliated with the International
Science and Engineering Fair,
the Southside Regional Science
Fair expects to bring 150 high
school students to Longwood
from nine school systems. The
students, who will compete for
$1,000 in prize money and the
opportunity to compete in the
international fair, represent the
school divisions of Amelia,
Buckingham, Cumberland,
Dinwiddle, Goochland, Halifax,
Nottoway, Powhatan, and Prince
Edward Counties.
Dr. Marvin Scott, head of
Longwood's natural sciences
department, and director of the
regional fair expects more and
better entries than last year's
fair. Said Dr. Scott, "There
have been more local high school
science fairs, and the
participants have a better idea of
the comptition." The students
will set up their exhibits on
March 13 and 14th to be on
display from 1 : 15-2: 30 p.m. on the
14th. Earlier on the 14th, Dr.

Kodak, NASA, the armed forces,
and a number of engineering
societies. Two winners from the
biological sciences category and
one winner from the physical
science category will go to San
Juan, Puerto Rico in May for the
38th International Science and
Engineering Fair, whUe some of
the other winners will compete in
the Virginia Junior Academy at
Old Dominion University.

"The condom can save your
life," said Mr. Alan Sofalvia of
the Physical Education, Health,
and Recreation Department,
borrowing from Mr. Richard
Bradley's February 18th lecture
about Aquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Mr. Bradley, of the AIDS Activity
Program of the Virginia
Department of Health,
emphasized the fatality of AIDS
and suggested condoms as the
best means of reducing the risk of
contracting the virus, short of
abstinence from sexual activity.
According to Bradley, Center
for Disease Control statistics
reveal that an estimated 690 to
2,000 people in Central Virginia,
excluding the Richmond area,
carry the AIDS virus. Though
many of the victims show no
symptoms and remain unaware
that they have contracted the
virus, they retain the potential
for spreading the AIDS virus.
Bradley named sexual activity,
both heterosexual and
homosexual, and needle sharing
by intravenous drug users as the
primary ways of transmitting
AIDS.
Mr. Bradley works as an
epidemiologist for the Virginia
Department of Health and
specializes in the surveillance of
AIDS cases. The Physical
Education, Health, and
Recreation Department brought
Mr. Bradley to Longwood as part
of its 1986-1987 Health Lecture
Series.
The Health Lecture Series has
scheduled presentations on some
of the important health topics
currently facing college students.
Two presentations remain in the
series. Tonight, Monday,
February 23 at 7 : 00 p.m. in Wygal
Auditorium, Mr. Jack Jones, a
survivor of testicular cancer, will
discuss his experience with the
rarely talked about form of
cancer which threatens college
age men. On April 2 at 12:30 p.m.
in Wygal, Ms. Paula CiavereUa of
the Virginia Department of
Health will explore the effects of
being overweight on a person's
physical and psychological
health.

North Shredded Documents
3rd Snowstorm
Sobers Campus
COMMENTARY
ByMATTPETERMAN
D White House assis-
tant Oliver North
apparently shredded crucial
document, relating to Iran hours
before his files were seized
according to his secretary who
was granted immunity.
According to the Tower
Commission and other
investigations, a cover-up seems
to be revealing itself.
Donald Regan who may have
had a hand in the cover-up
continues to be pressured from
all circles to resign. Many
lawmakers expect him to resign
this week.
Attorney General, Edmond
Meese III is being criticized for
delaying news of an Iran-Contra
connections.
Obstruction of justice
charges are being looked into for
many officials connected in the
Iran scheme. It is punishable by
jail terms.
D Syria entered I^ebanon on
Sunday to quell a week of
factional fighting in Beirut. The
troops have orders to show no
mercy in their imposition of a
cease fire as they moved into
strategic locations of the city.
The fighting between the
three factions in Beirut is the
most intense in 3-years.
O Contemparary artist, Andy
Warhol died after he went into
cardiac arrest following a gall-
bladder operation the day before,
according to hospital officials.
He was involved in Pop and
Comercial art which made him
famous. He was 58 years old.
□ President Reagan unveiled
his catastrophic health insurance
plan last week that would give the
elderly a chance to remain
financially solvent should a
catastrophic illness hit their
family.
The plan calls for a $4.92
monthly premium to be paid by
those elderly persons interested
in the plan. The plan would start
assistance after an elderly
person has spent $2000 on a
particular illness.
"This pay-as-you-go program
that requires no tax dollars,"
Reagan said in his weekly radio
address. "What it all comes down
to is peace of mind and I think
you'll agree it's worth it."
The democrats believe that the
bill does not go far enough and is
guessed that the bill that will
pass, will include nursing home
costs in which the present bill
does not mention.
ByMATTPETERMAN
Farmville seemed left out
Monday as reports of snow all
around her filled the airwaves.
Students began to wonder if
precipitation would come at all
when all of the sudden, the noon
bell began to ring and that's when
the x! ..! hit the fan.
Rain mixed with sleet pelted
the surprised Farmvillian college
with haste and brutality as
sidewalks became sheets of ice
making students cautious and on
alert.
By 2 p.m., raging ice became
mixed with strides of light snow
bringing memories of
liongwood's Winter Wonderland
back to mind. Students anxiously
awaited updated weather reports
on radio stations, WFLO and
later WLCX. Longwood was
being hit with a snowstorm of
epic proportions.
The clouds grew darker and
darker shedding some light on
what neighboring towns must
have been going through. Flakes
of snow becoming increasingly
clustered and heavy continued to
drop so that all visibility dropped
to near zero. The temperature
also fell and the wind blew with a
stunning briskness allowing the
windchill factor to drop below
zero.
Students walking outside began
to get lost in an array of
whiteness as they struggled to
recognize any scant trace of a
landmark that may give them a
clue to just where the hell they
were. Some were bravely
rescued on the out-skirts of Iler
Fields while others could not be
found. The phones at campus
police rang off the hook as
worried friends called about
missing loved ones.
The sun finally fell and
darkness shrouded the campus as
still more fluffly snow hurried to
the Earth.
Before the night was over, six
inches of purely driven snow had
fallen generously and as the sun
began to rise in the east, the snow
began to taper off.
Longwood students awakened
to the sounds of tractors moving
snow. Sounds that resembled the
Snow Cat in Steven King's The
Shining. Students drifting back to
sleep dreamed of Jack Nicholos
saying, "Here's Johnny," as he
put the ax through the bathroom
door.
Classes were cancelled much to
the relief of many students
fearing quizzes and due dates.
The plowing continued into the
day making certain that classes
would be held on Wednesday, and
they were.
There were those who were
glad to see that the line of
controlled substances were not
severed due to the snow, assuring
that the weekends would not hit
an all time low.
Rain and sunshine is predicted
for this week.

ABS Off To A Good Start
By KIMBERLY JONES
Association of Black Students
better known as ABS is an
organization open to all members
of the student body of Longwood.
The purpose of ABS as its
constitution states is "to insure
the general welfare of the black
student body, to promote the
cultural intellectual, and
personal development of the
black students and to strengthen
unity and to foster black
awareness and understanding in
all aspects of college life."
Lisa Redding, president of
ABS, says "this organization is a
channel or way for students to
interact with each other and to
voice opinions and ideas". Lisa
also stated that ABS is just like
any other organization whereas
what you get out is the result
from what you put in. Lisa
became president because she
felt as though she could
accomplish and improve a lot of
things within the group.
One of her biggest goals is to
improve the Big Brother-Sister
program already initiated by
ABS. Through this program
freshmen have upperclassmen to
show them the ropes of life at
Longwood. Lisa believes this is a
pyramidal program that can be
built upon to shape lasting
relationships among the
students. Lisa also hopes that
ABS will be able to sponsor trips
that are educational and fun for
the students. The trips would also
be informative for job contacts as
well.
While ABS remains to be an
active part of Longwood, many
students fail to participate in a
number of their activities. ABS is
not a bias organization. Mainly it
wants to further the growth of
black awareness on the campus.
ABS is a good starting place for
students to get involved. Some
students believe ABS does
nothing, but the majority of
students who believe this fail to
come to the meetings. In all
likeliness, if one wanted to see
action and involvement among
Change For
Orientation
an organization they must also be
there to partake in it.
ABS is continually expanding
and to make this process happen
are some important people. Mr.
Satchell, the new minority
facilitator, has offered his
assistance and guidance to ABS.
Besides the president's
involvement, there are others as
well: Vice President — Ricky
Otey, Treasurer— Lynnette
Jones, Secretary— Tamara
Brown, Parlimenatarian—
Veronica Tyler and Freshman
representative— Lisa Jones.
Black History Month is here
once again and to make it a
memorable experience is ABS.
They have scheduled several
events during the month
pertaining to black history. They
are also sponsoring a semi-
formal dance on the 21st. The cost
is $3. Lisa Redding encourages
everyone to come out and
participate. And addition to these
events, ABS has its meetings
every Monday in the N.P. Miller
room at 9 p.m.

Are you tired of the same old
dull routine? Well there's
something new and innovative at
Longwood to take note of —
"Preview '87," this summer's
orientation program. The
orientation program has been
revised; it is now held in the
summer and not in the fall. The
dates of the upcoming sessions
are July 1 and 2, July 6 and 7, and
July 9 and 10. During these two-
day sessions upcoming freshmen
have a good chance to see
Longwood and will also be able to
sign up for fall classes. Parents
are being encouraged to attend
with the students because
according to Karen Clifford,
Student Department Educator in
charge of orientation, "parents
are becoming more involved and
are showing more interest in
their child's education." For this
summer orientation there is 200
students and one and a half
parents are anticipated to attend
each two-day session.
According to Karen Clifford,
"There was a long lag time from
a student being accepted and
coming to school only a week
before school actually began.
This two-day session will give the
new students a chance to feel at
home at Longwood."
Thirty orientation leaders will
be chosen for "Preview 87" and
they will be here from Sunday,
June 28, to Friday, July 10, with
the exception of July 4 weekend.
Any questions concerning
"Preview 87" contact Mrs.
Clifford, Student Department
Educator.

FARMVILLE FEEDBAG
Macados
9 a.m. - 1 a.m. Sun-Thurs.
9 a.m. - 2 a.m. Fri-Sat.
By IVIARNA HUNGER
This new year brought a
pleasant addition to the Farm-
ville restaurant scene. Macado's,
which i.s located on 200 Third
Street, brings us a delightful
selection of bagels, entrees, subs,
sandwiches and salads.
The majority of the menu
consists of sandwiches served on
various kinds of breads. I tried
the "Babe Ruth" which is bacon,
turkey, inuenster, and tomato
served on a hot buttered
croissant. "Babe" left me very
satisfied. Coleen Mone, a
.sophomore at Ix)ngwood, sam-
pled the food with ine. She had
the "Carpetbagger" and said, "it
was wicked good. I love it." My
roommate sampled the
"Titanic," which is a roastbeef
french dip. She, like many other
customers, had to ask for a
doggie bag. My friends and I still
had room to try the sundaes.
The dining room is separated
by many catacombs of stained
glass and wood walls which offer
a lot of privacy. I did notice that if
you sit at a booth, you have to be
either anorexic or smaller than a
36 B. There aren't many tables
that can accommodate parties
larger than six.
The prices on food are
reasonable. Mbied drinks run a
little high, but the majority of
drinks come with a com-
plementary glass. I figure by the
time I graduate I should have
enough glasses to start my own
bar.
I^acado's has something for
everyone. It leaves you wanting
to look at the menu before you
leave so you know what to try the
next time.

Teacher Studies Learning Disabilities
Hair from the heads of 100
Virginia schoolchildren nnay help
determine what causes learning
disabilities, thanks to pioneering
research by a Longwood College
education professor.
Dr. R. Ijee Banton is looking for
a biophysical link between
particular elements and learning
disabilities. A nuclear reactor at
the University of Virginia will
identify and help analyze 14
elements in hair samples sub-
mitted by 50 learning disabled
and 50 average students.
"This is the first time a nuclear
reactor has ever been used to
assist in diagnosing learning
disabilities," Dr. Banton said
recently. "This research is the
first of its type and may prove to
be a significant breakthrough in
determining a specific cause for
learning disability."
The research involves hair
samples donated voluntarily by
students in grades five through 12
from Buckingham, Amelia,
Nottoway, Lunenburg, Surry and
York counties and the city of
Norton. The samples soon will
undergo a procedure called
"neutron activation analysis" at
U. Va.'s Nuclear Research
Facility. ...
• The hair will be bombarded
with neutrons that will cause
elements in the samples to
become radioactive, said Dr.
Banton. Officials then will be able
to use a radiation detector to
identify the substances that are
present and in what amount.
"I'm looking for significant
differences from normal
amounts in both learning
disabled and non-LD students,"
Dr. Banton said. "I'll also be
looking at combinations of
various elements. This research
is a can't-lose proposition —
either I'll be able to rule out
certain elements or rule them
in."
Learning disabilities — a term
first used in 1963 — are legally
divided into six major categories,
said Dr. Banton. Among the
characteristics are reading
words backwards, hyperactivity,
physical awkwardness and
spending an excessive amount of
time on one task. About 4M2 to 10
percent of students have a
learning disability, and some
estimate the figure approaches 15
percent, he said.
Dr. Banton's research, which
was begun in October 1985, was
prompted by a lack of data on the
causes of learning disabilities
and by news articles linking
illnesses with certain substances.
"None of the textbooks mention
a cause," he said. "They all say
what a learning disability does,
but I'm concerned about what a
learning disability is, in terms of
a causal definition. I want to
determine if there's a biophysical
reason for learning disabilities."
"We know now, for example,
that lead causes mental retar-
dation or death; Parkinson's
disease has been traced to
manganese; and zinc has
something to do with the
processing of certain vitamins. A
pediatrician in Sarasota, Florida,
found that babies who were on a
certain formula were not
developing sufficiently and in
some cases were learning
disabled. He contacted the
National Institutes of Health, and
it was discovered that that
particular formula was too low in
sodium."
Dr. Banton said he is
"suspicious" of acid rain, which
gets into the reservoirs from
which drinking water is drawn.
"Those elements can damage
our delicate central nervous
system tissues."
The research began when Dr.
Banton called the state pathology
lab, at the Medical College of
Virginia, which referred him to
U. Va.'s physical chemistry
department. "I dealt with them
for three weeks, then they
.sugg<?sted. j^grei ^yas a> better
facility to work with — the
university's nuclear reactor.
When I discussed the project with
Paul Benneche, the reactor
supervisor, he became excited."
The reactor is one of about 50
nuclear research reactors in the
United States, about half of which
are at universities, said Ben-
neche. Only three university
reactors have more power than
the one in Charlottesville, which
produces two million watts of
heat.
The reactor core is a small
aluminum chamber — two feet
long, two feet wide and three feet
high — near the bottom of an
80,000-gallon concrete tank of
water, known as a "swimming
pool." The pool is 28 feet deep.
When in use, the reactor emits a
glowing blue light.
Each of the hair samples,
which are in vials, will be tested
individually in the reactor about
three times, Dr. Banton said. A
radiation detector, in conjunction
with a sophisticated computer,
"will tell us what's there and in
what parts per million," he said.
"This detection process has
been around only since the mid-
1970s, when there was a quantum
leap in neutron activation
analysis," said Benneche. "The
computer analyzes the data. A
spectrum of each sample will
appear on the terminal screen."
Dr. Banton will be analyzing
the presence of aluminum,
cadmium, calcium, chromium,
cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium.
manganese, mercury,
potassium, sodium, vanadium
and zinc. He will look at these
elements both singly and in
various combinations.
The FBI uses hair analysis to
identify suspects. "Your hair is
like a fingerprint— no two people
have hair that contains the same
elements in the same amounts,"
said Dr. Banton.
After the tests, it will take
Benneche six to seven weeks to
determine which elements are
present and their density. Then
Dr. Banton will begin analyzing
the data on an Apple He com-
puter in the Wynne Building.
"That will take at least a month,"
he said.
Jean Nazzaro, an official with
the Council for Exceptional
Children, said the research is
worthwhile. "Any kind of
physiological correlation that can
be found for any disorder is worth
exploring. We would never have
known about the problems with
lead causing mental retardation
if somebody hadn't looked."
Dr. Banton's research has
attracted widespread publicity.
Stories about it have appeared in
at least 18 newspapers, including
the Washington Post, and have
aired on a Washington television
station and the Cox Broadcasting
Company, which has TV stations
in eight major cities and radio
stations in four cities.
"I have received letters from
people all over the country who
are enthusiastic about my
research. And I have received
unsolicited letters, along with
hair samples, from parents of
learning disabled and autistic
children, begging me to do
research."
After this project is over, he
plans to do similar research
involving hair samples from
emotionally disturbed and
autistic children. Little is to know
about what causes autism — a
mental state marked by
disregard of external reality — or
emotional disturbances. "Paul
Benneche has agreed to co-
author the project," said Dr.
Banton.
The current research is being
funded by the U.S. Department of
Energy, the University of
Virginia, and Longwood.
Some famous people — Albert
Einstein, Thomas Edison,
Woodrow Wilson and Nelson
Rockefeller — have been lear-
ning disabled, Dr. Banton pointed
out. "They overcame their
learning disabilities by finding
ways to learn that are are un-
conventional." More and more is
becoming known about how to
teach these students, but the
causes of learning disability
remain a mystery, he said.
Dr. Banton first came across a
learning disabled student in a
classroom 24 years ago. "I didn't
know what to do with him." If he
wants information on current
cases, he need only consult his
wife, Carolyn, who is a learning
disability resource teacher at
Dillwyn Elementary.
He is philosophical about his
research. "So much research is
devoted to looking at stars. We
need to lower our eyes, lower our
sights, and start looking at one
another."

Amie Oliver recently had her
work exhibited in the Bienville
Gallery in New Orleans. A
graduate of Bowling Green
University, Ms. Oliver now
instructs art at Longwood College
and also practices art. On display
from January 3-31, her art work
included 21 drawings and mixed
media works.
Oliver states that her best art
"works on several different
levels." Not only does her work
operate on a visual level, but it
also plays psychological games.
Roger Green, an art critic of the
New Orleans Times-Picayune,
states, "CHiver builds unusually
busy compositions out of
juxtaposed images, passages of
decorative patterning and
nondescript markings, executed
in various medias." She
incorporates game images with
autobiographical information to
create mysterious works.
Olivers states that, now that
her works have been exhibited,
she not only feels a "sense of
achievement," but also of
definite completion of those
works.
The Weight Room
Waits Even More
By MATT PETERMAN
In the near future the weight
room is due to receive new
equipment in order to make it a
more complete facility. The
question of when cannot be an-
swered, but the fact that the
equipment is coming is reality.
KopefuUy, it will arrive by the
end of this semester so it will be
ready for the upcoming
semester.
Different companies are now
bidding for the right to supply
and install the equipment. The
ultimate control lies in Richmond
where the funds will be dispersed
to the company that can supply
quality equipment at the right
price.
Some o^the main pieces of
equipment that will be installed
are new free weights, dumbeUs,
leg machines, incline-decline
benches, and a three step squat
rack. Other equipment will also
be supplied to make the
Longwood weight room more
modern.
The present Longwood weight
room is adequate, but it must be
noted that many high schools
have better facilities in com-
parison. The expected new
equipment should rid Longwood
of that phenomenon.
The weight room is an essential
part of physical education and
with upgrading the facility, more
can be done to improve the lives
of students. The weight room is
open to all students and faculty
with its hours posted outside the
door.

Gymna8t« Host UMBC This Sat. Feb. 28
By RICK RIVERA
liOngwood's gymnastics team
spent its Saturday afternoon at
the Towson invitational
gymnastics meet, finishing
seventeen out of the nine team
field. This Saturday the Lancers
will host Maryland Baltimore
County at 2:00 in what will be the
last home meet of the season.
Coach Ruth Budd was
displeased with the overall
performance of the team. Again,
bars was the I^ancers' trouble
spot and may have cost the team
two notches in the win column.
According to Budd, the
inexperience of competing in
front of big crowds may have
hampered the gymnasts'
concentration. Although the floor
exercises went well the I^ancers
(lid not score as high as they
should have.
All was not bad for Ijongwood
as Lynda Chenoweth again was
consistent enough to earn a 33.1
all-around score. Chenoweth had
a very good meet attaining scores
above 8 in all categories and had
a no-fall meet. Budd says
Chenoweth's ability to remain
cool and calm is her strong point
and keeps her up there in the
thick of things.
Another bright spot for the
l-ancers was the improvement of
senior Kerri Hrubi. Hrubi is
coming on strong and had
another no-fall routine on beam.

Longwood will be a decided
underdog in the semi-final round
of the Mason-Dixon Tournament
Friday against Randolph-Macon
in Ashland.
The Lancers, who walloped
Ferrum 98-76 Saturday night in
the regular season finale, will
take a 13-13 overall record and a
3-5 mark in the MDAC into the
7:00 clash against the Yellow
Jackets. Randolph-Macon,
second in the league at 5-3, beat
Longwood 71-61 on its homecourt
Wednesday.
Fourth seeded Liberty (3-5)
will host fifth seed Pittsburgh-
Johnstown (2-6) Tuesday night in
the tournament opener. The
winner will face league champ
Mount St. Mary's (7-1) at 9:00
Friday night in the other semi-
final clash. Friday's winners will
meet for the tourney crown at
7:30 Saturday night.
"It will certainly be a challenge
for us," said Lancer coach Cal
Luther of Friday's game against
Macon. "We're pleased to have
several days to prepare for a
game like this. Having a
tournament title to shoot for
Art Monroe tossed in 20 points

Lancer forward Darry Rutley
is Longwood's lone
representative on the All-Mason
Dixon Conference squad, picked
by league coaches. Rutley, 6-4, is
averaging 14.5 points and 4.4
rebounds. He scored 24 points in
Wednesday's loss to R-MC and 23
in Saturday night's win over
Ferrum.
Jefferson Doubtful
For Tournament
Longwood freshman Kevin
Jefferson is listed as very
doubtful for Friday's contest. He
suffered a badly sprained ankle
at Macon last Wednesday. The 6-4
forward averages 15.1 ppg. His
place in the starting lineup will be
filled by 6-3 freshman Dale
Shavers. Shavers, who has been
playing well lately, scored 17
points in the win over Ferrum to
backup Rutley.

to move its record to 12-13 overall
and 4-4 in the Mason-Dixon
Conference.
Longwood has one regular
season game remaining before
the Mason-Dixon Tournament
Thursday through Saturday at
Mount St. Mary's. Longwood
hosts District of Columbia
Tuesday at 7:30 in what will be
the final home appearance for
seniors Caren Forbes and Karen
Boska. Parent-Senior Night will
be observed Tuesday.
The senior duo were named
second team All-Mason Dixon
Conference as voted by the
league coaches and released
Sunday. Forbes is a repeat
selection on the squad.
The Lady Lancers will play
second place Pittsburgh-
Johnstown Friday night at 6:00 in
the semi-final round of the
tournament. Liberty is slated to
meet Randolph-Macon Thursday
night at 7:00 in the tournament
opener. The winner of that game
will play Mount St. Mary's at 8:00
Friday night. The finals are
Saturday night at 7:30.
Forbes, a Lancer co-captain,
will be continuing her assault on
the College's all-time career
scoring record. Forbes has 1,131
points with at least two games
remaining. The 5-6 guard needs
40 points to reach 1,471 and tie the
career leader Sue Rama. Forbes
is averaging 15.4 p. and 5.8
assists.
She had 12 assists and 17 points
in Sunday's win and has now
broken her own Longwood
standard for assists in a season.
Forbes has 152 assists this year,
', topping the 140 she handed out in
1984-85. She has a record 523 for
her career.
Boska, also a senior co-captain,
is scoring 12.3 ppg. and pulling
down 9 rebounds per contest.
Longwood beat Maryland
Baltimore County 75-74 in
overtime Thursday night as
Boska had 21 points and 16
rebounds. She also scored the
winning bucket on a feed from
Forbes. Saturday, Longwood
dropped an 89-67 decision to
league leader Mount St. Mary's
on the road.
Longwood finished in third
place in the MDAC regular
season race, beating both Liberty
and Randolph-Macon twice.
Freshman Dee McDaniels had a
starring role in Sunday's win
over Liberty with a career high 18
points and 9 rebounds.
Six players scored in double
figures for Longwood. Kita
Chambers had 12 points, Boska
and Angee Middleton 11 and
Angle Hill 10. The game with
Liberty had been scheduled for

and Pembroke State were the
other competitors.
Ten berths were given to the
NCAA Division II National
Championships March 5-7 at
Edwardsville, Illinois. Three
alternates, including two
Longwood wrestlers, were also
chosen.
The team scores were: Liberty
90, Pembroke State 84.5, and
Longwood 44.
The individual champions
were: 118 lbs. - Loren Baum, -
Liberty, 126 - Joe Stukes,
Pembroke State, 134 - Gary
Sibey, Liberty, 142 - Chad Hawks,
Pembroke State, 150 - Tim
Morriss, Liberty, 158 - Kevin
Frame, Liberty, 167 - Willie
Mayes, Pembroke State, 177 - Kip
Fennelly, Liberty, 190 - Antonio
Kilpatrick, Pembroke State, and
HWT - Mike Hatch, Uberty.
The three alternates chosen
were Billy Howard, Longwood,
158 lbs., Tim Fitzgerald,
Longwood, 118 lbs., and Warren
Dumas, Pembroke State, 134 lbs.
Fitzgerald, after receiving a
bye, lost a tough match to Baum
12-8 in the 118 pound finals. Tim
was hampered by a cut over his
wins. Browning was the top
pitcher on last year's tema with a
6-5 mark. Mills returns to action
after a year's absence. He was 7-4
in 1985.
Other veteran hurlers are
senior Rob Furth, who will also
start in rightfield, junior Tony
Beverley and sophomores Steve
Gedro and E.J. Bryant. Furth
was 3-4 in '86 while Beverley was
5-1, Gedro 3-1 and Bryant 4-1.
Freshmen of note include
Frankie Watson, a lefthander
who may play outfield also, and
righthander Bobby Johnson.
Rohm, Davis, Mayone
To Lead Hitters
Longwood has gained a
reputation as one of the top
hitting teams in Division II and
1987 should be no exception.
Returning from last year's
record-setting squad { .353 batting
average, 42 homers, 8.8 runs per
game) are three hitters who
combined for 29 homers and 134
runs-batted-in.
Seniors Jeff Rohm and Jeff
Mayone, and junior Kelvin Davis
are expected to be the leaders of
the Longwood hitting attack.
Rohm and Mayone are tri-
captains along with Browning.
Rohm, who has been switched
from catcher to third base, batted
.452 (11th in Division II), drove in
52 runs and ripped nine homers
and 14 doubles. His average of
RBI's per game (1.3) was 14th in
Division II and he was named
College Division Player of the
right eye after an unintentional
head butt in the first period.
Willie Gaines, also received a
bye to the finals, but was
overpowered by Stukes 17-4 in the
126 championship. Tommy
Gilbert was also a beneficiary of
a bye, but could not stop Hawks of
Pembroke State and lost 10-5 in
the 142 pound weight class.
Tim Ruggles, lost in the first
round of the 150 pound weight
class 11-0. Howard lost a very
hard fought match in the finals to
Kevin Frame (t Liberty 4-3 in the
158 championsiiip.
At 177, David Taylor lost in the
first round 10-6. John Kelly was
pinned in the first round of the 190
championship by the eventual
champion. At heavyweight, Jesus
Strauss was pinned by All-
American Mike Hatch of Liberty
in the first round.
"Pembroke and Liberty are
very tough teams, stated
Longwood coach Steve Nelson.
"Our guys were beaten on their
feet."
"We have had a sensational
year of wrestling, but we have
had our share of tough breaks
too," explained Nelson. "It will
be tough to top this season.
Longwood finished with its best
record ever in dual matches 9-4
and tied the school mark for most
wins in a season (9).
third was brought on when
veteran Marty Ford withdrew
from school in the fall.
Longwood's career leader in
homers (28) and RBI's (137),
Mayone clouted nine
roundtrippers last season while
.351 and driving in 38 runs. The
senior is also a solid fielder at
first base.
Davis has been the I.ancer
shortstop since his freshman
season. He tied the school record
for homers in a season a year ago
with 11 while hitting .385 and
driving in 44 runs. He was named
first team All-South Atlantic
Region.
Another returning starter is
sophomore catcher Roger Baber
who has also put in time at
designated hitter. Baber, who
hits from the left side, batted .311
with 19 RBI's last season. He will
be the l.ancers starting catcher.
Other veteran players are
speedy junior Robert Jackson,
who will play outfield and third,
and sophomores Greylin Rice, a
catcher, and Eric Killinger,
who will play outfield and
designated hitter.
Coach Bolding expects three
freshmen to be in the starting
lineup. Pete Criscione will start
at second base, Robert Smith in
left field and Kevin Carlson in
center. The Ix)ngwood coach
feels this trio of newcomers has
outstanding potential.

Longwood Student Studies
In Land Of Kilts
By Betty Br> ant
Joyce lianwnd, a Longwood
College sophomore from
Staunton, will continue her
education next semester in tht'
hind of kilts and bagpipes.
From January 6 to April 6.
Lamorid will study at the
University of Edinburgh in
Scotland. She is the first
liongwood student to participate
in a study-abroad opportunity
sponsored by the American
Universities International
Program rAUlP).
liimond, who is majoring in
therapeutic recreation, saw a
poster advertising the AUIP
program on a bulletin board in
Longwood's department of
physical education, health, and
recreation.
"This program is especially for
students in recreation, parks, and
leisure studies,'' Lamond said.
"That's important, but the thing
that really caught m\ attention
was its location in Scotland. My
great-great-great grandfather
came to this country from
Scotland."
According to family tradition,
I.*imond's ancestor was among a
roup of Scottish immigrants
that included Andrew Carnegie.
Lamond contacted the
American coordinator of the
AUIP program, Dr. George
Ix)wrey at the University of
Illinois. With the cooperation of
several Ixjngwood officials — Dr.
Robert Bartos, dean of the School
of F^ducation and Human
Services; Dr. Judy Johnson, head
of the phyjiical education, health,
and recreation department; and
Janet Merling, director of the
therapeutic recreation program
- arrangements were made for
l^imond's participation m the
program ;ind for the transfer of
academic credit earned at
Edinburgh to liOngwood.
The program's primary
purpose is to provide a "cross-
cultural experience" for
students. Lamond's studies at
Edinburgh will include
comparisons of leisure systems,
land use and planning, and
approaches to criminology and
delinquency in the U.S. and Great
Britain.
She also is enrolled in a course
titled "Historical Interpretation
in the Scottish Context" and is
looking forward to a required
course called "Outdoor
Pursuits."
Among those pursuits are
kayaking, cross-country and
downhill skiing, mountain
walking, sailing, cycling, and, of
course, golf. (The game of golf
originated in Scotland almost
four centuries ago. )
"I understand we also will have
the option of pony-trekking,
whatever that is," Lamond said.
"I want to see and do
everything," I^amond said. Her
class schedule will be reasonable
to permit time for seeing the
country and getting to know other
students.
"If 1 meet somebody from
London who invites me home
with them, I want to be able to
go," she said.
Housing for lamond and the 11
other American students in the
AUIP program will be in bed-
and-breakfast guest houses near
the university campus.
"I understand these houses are
similar to the old boarding houses
in this country," Lamond said.
"The landlady is like a house
mother. That will be a new
experience for me — I thought
house mothers went out of
existence a while back."
She will have to change some of
her personal habits. "I won't be
taking a morning shower over
there." lamond said. "Showers
are really frowned upon in
Scotland because it's very
expensive to heat water."
"And breakfast is served so
early — about six o'clock," she
added.
She will be packing lots of jeans
and sweaters. "Students there
dress like we do here — at least, I
hope they do," she said.
"Warmth is the important thing.
I understand there's a lot of cold
rain. Even spring weather is
unpredictable, but when it's nice
it is really beautiful."
Scotland has been a part of
Great Britain for three centuries
but still maintains a unique
national character. Many
historic sites are located in or
near the city of Edinburgh,
including Abbotsford, home of Sir
Walter Scott; Linlithgow
including Abbotsford, home of Sir
Walter Scott; Linlithgow Palace,
birthplace of Mary, Queen of
Scots; and Edinburgh castle
which houses the Scottish crown,
Scottish crown, scepter, sword of
state, and other ancient regalia.
More than 473,000 people live in
Edinburgh.
The University of Edinburgh
was founded in 1583. It has more
than 10,000 students.
Lamond admits that she is "a
little scared" about going alone
to a strange campus, city, and
country. "But mostly I'm
excited," she said. "The
excitement is overpowering the
nervousness."
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B.
Bruce Lamond, of Staunton, have
some misgivings, too. "But they
want me to have this
opportunity," she said. She hopes
that her parents and several of
her five brothers and sisters can
visit her in Edinburgh.
New Longwood Scholarship
By NOBY LINE
lx)ngwood College will award
the first Verna Mae Barr
Scholar.ship, in the amount of
$2,500. to a rising junior or senior
for the 1987-88 academic year.
To bo considered for the
scholarship, students must be
residents of the southwest
Virginia counties of Wise, liee,
Scott. Dickenson, Buchanan, or
Washington.
The scholarship was
established in honor of the late
Verna Mac Barr by alumni of
Wise High School and J,J. Kelly
High School. It is the largest
single scholarship at Ijongwood
supported by a private gift en-
dowment.
"We are deeply grateful to Ms.
Sarah Fugate, of Abingdon, for
her leadership in establishing the
Verna Mae Barr Scholarship,"
said Donald I^mish, Longwood's
vice president for institutional
advancement. "Many other
persons have provided gift
support to establish the en-
dowment, and we appreciate all
of these gifts."
Rising juniors and seniors at
liOngwood who wish to be
considered for the scholarship
.should contact the college's
Financial Aid Office as soon as
possible.
Announcement of the first
recipient of the scholarship will
be made in .April.
Miss Barr was a teacher and
librarian in Wise County from
1931 to 1977, one of the longest
tenures of service in that school
system.
After graduating from Wise
High School in 1929, Miss Barr
attended Longwood for two years
and obtained her teacher's
certificate. In 1941, after at-
tending summer sessions at
Longwood, she received her
bachelor of science degree.
She l)egan her teaching career
at Pound, then transferred to
Esserville. In 1934, she began
teaching third grade in Wise. She
later taught high school English
and served as librarian until her
retirement.

EIGHTEEN
Archeological Dig Now In Third Year
By MELISSA GIBBS
Ever want to try a day in the
life of a pre-historic Virginia
Indian? Students enrolled in the
1987 Ix)ngwood Summer Field
School in Archeology will have
that opportunity.
Under the supervision of Dr.
James W. Jordan, Director of the
Archeology Field School and
Associate Professor of
Anthropology at Ix)ngwood, the
budding archeologists will
excavate a pre-historic Indian
site, the Morris Field Site,
44BK212, in Buckingham County.
In addition to digging for
artifacts students will learn
about the native Americans' life
tlirou h related projects such as
builanu; a sweat lodge and
onst ucting a dam designed to
tiai sh.
The students will begin their
days at 7:20 AM with a 25 mile
commute to the site. Upon
arriving at the site, the students
will have 40 to 45 minutes of study
and lecture followed by several
hours of digging. One night each
week, the participants will camp
at the site.
This will mark the
SummerHeld School's third year
at the current site, a farm owned
by the Morris family along the
Appomattox River. How did Dr.
Jordan discover the Morris Field
Site? After reading a newspaper
article about the Longwood
Summer Field School in
Archeology program, Mr. Morris
alerted Dr. Jordan to some
objects of interest which he had
found while working on his farm.
This summer the students will
also work on several other sites.
At Locust Grove Plantation home
of Revolutionary War hero, Peter
Francisco, students will be
involved in historic archeology.
Dr. Jordan described the best
method for locating a potential
dig site— "to hang around
farmers." He said farmers and
men in other occupations which
bring them close to the land often
come across artifacts in their
work.
Previous dig sites for the
Longwood program have
included a slave shack behind the
president's home at Hampden-
Sydney College and a cave in
Willis Mountain. Following its
organization in 1980, the
Longwood Summer Field
School's first project featured an
Indian camp in Cumberland
County. Dr. Jordan named the
site Anna's Ridge after his then
two year old daughter.
Two courses compose the
Summer Field School in
Archeology, Anthropology 495
and Anthropology 595. The
undergraduate level course.
Anthropology 495-Field Methods
in Archeology, teaches the
techniques of excavation,
mapping, soil analysis, the
washing and analysis of
prehistoric stone tools, and the
interpretation of stratigraphy.
Anthropology 595 — The
Organization and Execution of
Archeological Fieldwork, the
graduate level course, provides
advanced students the chance to
learn the skills necessary to
organize and supervise an
excavation by serving as
assistants to the Director of an
ongoing excavation. Both courses
are offered in the Interim
Session, as well as in the two
other sessions of summer school.
Because of the nature of the
course, which is sanctioned by
the American Anthropology
Association, the class is limited
to twenty students in each
session. Though many students
have already signed up for this
summer and the course appears
filled to capacity for all three
sessions. Dr. Jordan encourages
interested students to see him for
more information. His office is in
Hiner 212.
Besides coordinating the
Summer Field School in
Archeology Dr. Jordan has
arranged for Longwood
Anthropology Majors to study
archeology abroad. Denise Rast
spent last summer at the
Institute of Archeology at the
University of London while Betsy
Chalfant and Keith Russell
worked at excavations in Petra,
Jordan.
Dr. Jordan departs March 4th
for England, the Syrian Arab
Republic, and the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan where he
Dr. Jordan measures artifacts dug up at Morris Field
Archeological site.
plans to arrange for more
Longwood students to study. In
London, Dr. Jordan will visit the
Institute of Archeology at the
University of London and
according to his itinerary, will
"state the I^ongwood case as an
institution where English
students could experience field
training in North American
archeological techniques." Je
also hopes to "explore the
possibility of placing Ijongwood
students in summer internship
programs focusing on
Seventeenth Century migration
of farmers from Suffolk, England
to New Kent County, Virginia."
En route to the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan, Dr. Jordan
will stop at Damascus, Syria to
visit officials at the Syrian
Ministry of Antiquities, view
archeological collections at the
Syrian National Museum, and
travel to archeological sites in
the vicinity of the village of
Bourjesa Fita.
After arriving in the Jordanian
city of Amman, Dr. Jordan will
meet with officers of the
Jordanian Department of
Antiquities and visit the
archeological collections at the
Natural History Museum of
Jordan. Next, Dr. Jordan will
drive to the archeological site of
Petra, 90 miles south of Amman
to observe the layout of the Petra
excavations. Dr. Jordin will
return to the United States March
18th.

Page 2 THE ROTUNDA
M
During registration many students are clueless about the
classes that they are taking for next semester. Students take classes
because of their advisor's and friend's advice and because they have
no choice in the matter. Many students, though, realize that certain
classes are not for them. They may not realize this until after the
drop period.
The drop period should definitely be extended. It is very hard for
a student to judge how he or she is performing in a class until the
first test. Many of the first tests are not until midterm exams. Then,
it is too late to drop the class.
There are many reasons why a student would want to drop a
class. It may be conflicts with a teacher, with time or with other
classes. Maybe in a future semester, a student may have less credits
and more time for the class. They need, though, to have a longer
drop period to decide this.
Letters to the Editor

'^^^^'^^Mif;
CPS
To the Editor,
I would like to address a
"letter to the editor" I read in
last week's Rotunda by Bill
Moore, Student Development
Educator. I am a Junior and have
experienced many different
types of teachers as well as
students in my two and a half
years here at I^ongwood. I would
like to give you all an involved
student's view on the situation.
Passivity? Almost every
student I know is involved in
some college activity other than
just classes. I myself run two
different organizations on
campus, one of which is directly
related to my chosen field and
may end up being damn near the
only practical education I'll get in
my field. I'm practically
educating myself: how's that for
engaging in an active way in my
education? !
I think you need a little insight
into the mind of the college
student today, particularly at
Ix)ngwood. First, let me say that
you are very correct in your
description of a portion of
Ix)ngwood students, I see them
too, everyday. But most of us do
not drift into or through
college for our parents, we're
here to try to get ahead, build a
career, and do something for
ourselves. There may be a
certain percentage of freshman
or sophomores who are not sure
what they want out of college but
then that's what they're here to
find out, and it is partly your job
to help them.
In your letter you wrote,
"Many times it seems like
you're not thinking because you
don't voice your opinions,
prefering to sit back passively
and let someone else take the
risk." That's just it, they let
someone else take the risk
because they think there is a risk,
and too many times there is.
What I refer to are some things I
unfortunetly have experienced
first hand. Let's put our naive
beliefs aside for a minute and
look at the facts. There are some
professors out there who will
shoot you down for giving a
wrong answer, will not like you
for your hair style, your clothes,
your sex, and worst of all, for
your opinion. The nice thing is
there are a few of these

professors who will tell you these
things the first day you walk into
class. So maybe you can dress for
success, or re-define your
opinions ahead of time to better
your chances of getting the grade
you deserve in the first place. The
worst part is that most of these
type of professors don't tell you,
instead you find out when it's too
late to do anything about it. Again
let me state that this stuff really
goes on, I've experienced it first
hand. I have also heard many
other similar horror stories to
support this statement.
The analogy you used, "fight
for your right to party", was
pretty much on target, but it
needs to be expanded to include,
"be active, progressive, and
yourself," as well as "party". As
I mentioned before I head up two
organizations on campus and
both want to be more actively
involved yet both are held back,
not by students, (the students are
there and they care) but by the
administration! And as for the
"real world", the real world
parties too, with alcohol, so why
shouldn't we. Also, when you say
college students have the attitude
that one person can't make a
difference, take a look at the
attitude of the society they grew
up m.
Yes, to have a realistic view of
the work world today and of the
future is a must if we are to
succeed, but just remember that
to stop dreaming and striving for
that "dream job" is a good way
not to get it. If you stop dreaming
you stop living; you have no
goals.
You say if I don't like the way
my classes are taught, I should
voice those concerns. Well I have
on a couple of occasions, to no
avail. You see I discovered this
little loophole called tenure,
which seems to mean, around
here, that any professor having
tenure can do as heshe damn
well pleases to their students and
get away with it. And to top it off
we the students pay these
people's salaries: now if that isn't
injustice I don't know what is. As
for housing, I don't even want to
begin to get into that B.S.
In closing I would like to
restate that my comments are
not directed toward all faculty or
all students. The reason I wrote
this editorial was to point out
some facts that obviously needed
to be brought to your attention.
And also to say that those of us
who want to do something to
improve Longwood are getting
sick and tired of trying with little
or no administrative help and too
damn much administrative
bitching ! ! And if you want to call
me "a disgrace" all I have to say
is, go ahead: make my day!

To the Editor,
The new Rotunda Market is a
vast improvement over the old
lower dining hall with its new
look and better food. The upper
dining hall leaves a lot to be
desired, however. Instead of
spending money on plants, how
about spending it on good food or
at least cooked bad food. Sunday
nights have to be the worst. On
the 22nd it was worse than usual.
The turkey was ice cold, you
could drink the creamed
potatoes out of a cup (there were
not skins in it this time), and the
macaroni and cheese was a
mystery. Top it off, there was no
milk for Cap'n Crunch.
The upper dining hall should at
least have a sandwich bar on the
weekends for dinner. Instead of
trying to be fancy, the ARA
should concentrate on cooking
something good. I won't even
comment on the new family style
service . . .

Baker Replaces Regan
ByMATTPETERMAN
ID Former White House Chief-
of-Staff, Donald Regan, was
forced to resign after a successor
was chosen without his
knowledge, late Friday
afternoon.
According to White House
officials, Regan responded
furiously after finding out
himself from T.V. He quickly
sent Reagan a terse one line
resignation.
Donald Regan was constantly
being criticized from many
circles in Washington as failing
the President with regards to
Iran. His critics included the
First Lady, Nancy Reagan, who
has disagreed with him on a wide
range of issues.
His successor, Former Senator
from Tennessee and '88
presidential hopeful started
yesterday to organize the
damaged White House and
prepare for Reagan's address to
the country on Wednesday.
Howard Baker, as new Chief-
of-Staff, has received great bi-
partison praise and brings with
him almost instant credibility to
the White House.

Laural, Mississippi in Jones
County on Saturday killing 7
people and leaving hundreds
homeless, according to Red Cross

The estimated time for clean-
up is more than three months.
The storm that struck suddenly,
may have caused more than 20
million dollars of damage.
Residents, who were sifting
throught the rubble that once
were their houses, say they will
rebuild. The town's Elementary
school was totally destroyed
meaning no school for weeks for
500 children.

Stuntz's Photos
On Exhibit
By NOBY LINE
A Diary of Interpretations, a
collection of 38 photographs by
Jinger Simkins Stuntz, of
Clemson, SC, is on exhibit in the
Bedford Gallery at Longwood
College through March 27.
Ms. Stuntz describes her
photographs as "a new reality. . .
of observation coupled with
emotion and imagination" and "a
spontaneous visual diary of the
solitary and fleeting moments
that are faintly etched into our
hearts and minds."
The photographs are two
parallel series, Ms. Stuntz says.
She calls them "active still lifes"
and "Diana landscapes."
The Diana works are "soft
focus images that evoke the
ephemeral qualities of memory."
The still lifes are sharply
focussed, with surface detail,
visual texture, and intense
clarity.
All of the photographs are
platinum silver prints, with
selenium toning for protection
and visual enhancement. To
achieve the hazy effect in the
distorted focus photographs, Ms.
Stuntz first used a Diana camera
that sells for $1.98. The plastic
lens of this camera "projected a
simple but often elegant, softly
focused image disappearing into
darkly vignetted comers," she
said.
Ms. Stuntz later designed and
built her own 4x5 view camera
with a single lens element that
"exaggerated the image
distortion while providing a
range of apertures for exposure
control."
She also has experimented with
enlargement ratios and fine-
grain film to achieve the sharp
focus of the still life series.
Most of the photographs have
titles, like "Kiss Me Before
December," "Where Do You
Keep Your Love?," "Loud Noises
in Quiet Places," and "Listless
Nights at the Villa Roma."
The titles are "integral
partners with the visual," Ms.
Stuntz says. "They provide small
clues about my personal
relationship with the work
without sacrificing the viewer's
imagination and perception."
Ms. Stuntz is a member of the
art faculty at Anderson College in

connection of the Strategic
Defense Initiative (SDI) from the
withdrawal of all medium range
missiles based on foreign soil
within 5 years. Each country
would be allowed to keep 500 on
their own territory.
President Reagan, according
to White House officials, believes
that the proposal is promising
because it does not limit research
on SDI. The allies, Britian,
France, Italy, and others have
not conmiented on the proposal
until they have more time to look
it over.
Soviet ground forces in Europe
greatly outnumber those of U.S.
allies, giving the Soviets a
strategic advantage should the
proposal go all the way.
Gorbachev also wants to spend
less on the military and more on
civilian plans.

Sally Lowe is now exhibiting in
the Showcase Gallery in Bedford.
She graduated Longwood with a
Bachelor of Aits in Political
Science and has since received a
Bachelor of Fine Arts at Virginia
Commonwealth University. She
has participated in shows since
1984.
The exhibit in Bedford contains
a variety of Serigraph-
Lithographs. These works con-
tain figures in various poses with
shadows of different figures in
the background. The poses and
expressions on the faces deliver
powerful emotions and a feeling
of movement. The apparent
purposeful stockiness of the
figures emphasizes their
muscular build and strength.
These figures virtually jump
off of the paper and come alive
because of the unique
backgrounds. Almost in Seurot's
pointalistic technique, the
slashes and dots are exciting and
bold. They contrast with the solid
colors of the figures and shadows.
Not only does their pattern
present contrast, but so too does
their color. In many of the works,
the complimentary color of the
figure is used in the background.
This creates a figure which
belongs in its background, and
yet is very separate from it.
At first glance, the show mi^ht
appear repetitious because each
work contains the same com-
positional elements: a figure, a
shadow, and slashed-dotted
background. But each work
draws the viewer to it. This show
closes March 20th.
The first March Art Show is
being held from March 3-31.st. It
is a chance for freshman and
sophomore art majors and
minors to show their work. All
matted pieces, with the ac-
ceptance of the Art Club, are
being presented. These art works
are showing in the l^ncaster
Library for Longwood students
and outsiders alike to view. This
is the first of such biannual
shows.

Here We Come^ Sun! GREEK OF
Well^ Maybe Not .
By MICHAEL GEOLY
With Spring Break coming
closer and closer, the school has
been divided in half. There are
two classes, those who have the
luck of being able to go to the
sunshine of the south, and those
who aren't quite so lucky.
If you do happen to be one of the
lucky bunch, we know what
you're going through. Ut's start
off with the bathing suit. Unless
you've been blessed with
perfection, the hours of suit
shopping could be the most
traumatizing of your year. Every
winter, you'll plan early for the
spring, more diet and exercise,
and less Domino's and beer. But
once again, it didn't quite work.
The five or ten extra pounds that
have been comfortably hiding
under the sweats will suddenly be
exposed and distributed in all the
wrong places.
Your next "problem" will be
finding clothes. If by chance you
happen to meet up with someone
you met last year, heaven forbid
you'd be wearing the same thing.
You've got to stay in fashion, and
never admit that anything is new,
keep your cool. Whatever you
decide to do, make sure
everything you buy is
indestructable - who knows

them. We all know that it's
against the rules to walk on a By RENEE SMITH
beach with a tan; you'll stick out Kimbra Patterson, a member
like a polar bear. First of all, try of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority, has
and get two or three sessions in a
tanning salon. If you can't
imagine that, maybe you should
consider secluding yourself for
the first day or two, wherever you
go, to at least build up a base. It
may sound boring, but you'll
have to make these sacrifices if
you want to comply with
sunbathing etiquette. Before you
go, don't get too excited that you
forget things. You'll need dark
sunglasses for scamming (watch
the eye movement); lots of
suntan lotion, you don't know who
might come by to rub lotion on
that spot you just can't reach;
(you might bring some
solarcaine, just in case you don't
meet the someone for that spot )
and a blanket. The blanket has
two purposes, one, obviously for
sitting on, the other is to shake it
out upwind of the dweebs who
are settling in next to you.
For the rest of you,- don't let
those "sun bums" get you down.
If you really want a tan that
badly, just wait a few weeks and
the dorm roofs will open up. If it
bothers you to watch the
what might be spilled, smeared "darkies" on campus showing off
or dumped on you.
Perhaps your worst dilemma,
after getting your bathing suit
and clothes situation cleared up,
will be your white body going into
their tan lines, here's something
to think about, they're just one
week closer to wrinkles and skin
cancer than you. Remember,
there's always next year. . . .
been elected Greek of the Week
by the Longwood College
Panhellenic Council.
A senior Mathematics major
from Northern Virginia, Kimbra
has been elected Greek of the
Week for her active participation
in Greek and non-Greek
activities. As a freshman,
Kimbra came to Longwood on a
golf scholarship and played on
the Women's Golf Team for two
years. Presently, she is studying
on a ROTC scholarship, has been
inducted as a ROTC Ranger, and
is the acting Commander on both
the Longwood and Hampden-
Sydney campuses. During the
past summer, Kimbra attended
Airborne School at Fort Brag in
North Carolina and is now
qualified Airborne. After her
graduation in May, Kimbra will
enter the United States Army as a
Second Lieutenant assigned to
the Aviation branch of the
service. As a member of Alpha
Sigma Tau sorority, Kimbra has
held the offices of Treasurer and
President and now acts as the
sorority's Historian and Social
Service Director.
In an effort to promote
Panhellenic spirit on campus, the
Psinhellenic Council will elect one
sorority member each week as
the Greek of the Week.

As we all know, all good things
are destined to change. Perini's
decided to change on us over
Christmas.
One of the first noticeable
changes is the decor. One can no
longer find cigarette butts and
popcorn on the floor from the
Greek sponsored nights. There is
new carpeting, lights and plants.
The dance floor has been taken
over by new booths.
The menu has changed also.
Perini's still offers pizza, subs,
salads and spaghetti. TTie newest
additions to the menu are Rib
Eye Steak, deep dish pizza,
manicotti, tuna and reubens.

manicotti and a drink. It is a
large serving for lunch and it
comes with a salad and garlic
bread. The only drawback is that
it was obviously frozen. I still
think the best thing Perini's has
going for it is the pizza. It's
inexpensive and good. As for the
other selections on the menu,
they are standard and can be
good, but I've had better.
One thing you have to
commend Perini's for is the
"clean up." You can no longer
hear the whistles of red-neck
mating calls and the loud music.
Though no longer a college hang-
out, Perini's family style
atmosphere is a change for the
better in Famiville.

place in novice over fences and a
fourth place in novice on the flat.
Other Ix)ngwood competitors
were: Mike Carey, 6th
intermediate over fences; Robin
McGowan, 2nd advanced walk-

over fences, 3rd novice on the
been named Longwood College
Player of the Week for the period
February 22 through March 1.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Ijongwood sports information
office.
Also Longwood 's all-time assist
leader, Forbes scored 1,480 points
in her career to beat the record of
1,471 set by Sue Rama 1974-78.
She also scored a career high 34
points in her final appearance in
Lancer Hall, sparking the Lady
Lancers to an 82-68 win over
District of Columbia last
Tuesday.
Forbes has now been named
liOngwood Player of the Week
three times, Mason-Dixon
Conference Player of the Week
once and National Division II
Player of the Week once.
A second team All-Mason
Dixon Conference pick two years
in a row, Forbes helped
Ijongwood compile a 13-14 record
during the past season.

great promise ended on a losing
note last Friday as second seeded

Rasrball Team Wins 3
Ixjngwood, with a pre-season
was of little consolation to the
I>ancers, who ended their season
13-14. lx)ngwood put forth one of
its best efforts of the season
against R-MC, but it wasn't
enough.
The lancers held their final
lead at 60-59 with 1:45 left after
Doug Poppe scored inside. A 3-
ranking of 18th in Division II, got pointer by Charlie Boyd gave
Its 1987 baseball season off to a 3-0 Macon the lead for good at 62-60.
.start last week, before ram
washed out five of 11 contests on a
six-day road trip to North and
South Carolina.
Boosted by nine hits in 12 at-
bats from All-America candidate
,Jcff Rohm, the Lancers took care '
of St. Andrews 6-1 and 4-2
Wednesday and F>ancis Marion
'i-1 Thursday. Two games at
Morris Friday, a game at USC-
Aiken Saturday and a twinbill at
Allen Sunday were canceled by
foul weather.
Coach Buddy Holding indicated
Sunday that his squad would
likely play a doubleheader slated
for Monday at Newberry College.
In action this week closer to
home U)ngwood is scheduled to
visit Hampden-Sydney
Wednesday at 3 p.m. and host
West Virginia Tech Friday for
two games and Division 1
ixJtayette for two Sunday.
The Jackets cashed in five of six
free throws the rest of the way
after Lancer Darryl Rutley
missed a 3-pointer from way
outside with 46 seconds
remaining.
For the game Ijongwood got 20
points from Rutley, 14 from Art
Monroe and 8 from Poppe,
Quintin Kearney and Dale
Shavers. The Lancers out-
rebounded R-MC 33-17 as
Kearney grabbed a game-high 9
rebounds, and hit 53 per cent of
their shots, scoring 27 field goals
to the Jackets' 23.
Lady Cagers
End Their Season
Pittsburgh-Johnstown ended
Ix)ngwood's women's basketball
season Friday night with an 88-77
victory in the semifinals of the
Mason-Dixon Conference
Tournament at Mount St. Mary's,
but senior guard Caren Forbes
became Lady Lancers' all-time
career scoring leader.
Forbes scored 15 to end her
career with L480 ooints. ninp
more than the previous record of
1,471 compiled by Sue Rama 1974-
78. The senior co-captain played
only 25 minutes because of foul
problems and scored just 6 points
in the first half, tying the record.
Forbes came back with 9 points
in the second half to break the
mark.
liOngwood, which had lost to
UPJ by wide margins twice
during the season, gave the Lady
Cats all they could handle Friday
night.
"We played our hearts out,"
said coach Shirley Duncan. "It
was a very strong performance
for us."
The I.ady Lancers trailed by
just three at the half, 41-38, but
turnovers mounted after Forbes
picked up her fourth foul and
went back to the bench.
Longwood turned the ball over 34
times in the contest.
Sophomore forward Kita
Chambers played perhaps the
finest game of her career,
finishing with 19 points and 11
rebounds. She converted 8 of 13
field goal attempts and was
named to the MDAC All-
Tournament team Saturday
night. Mount St. Mary's won the
tourney and advanced to post-
season play in the NCAA II South
Atlantic Region.
Senior center Karen Boska
closed out her career with
another strong game, scoring 14
points and grabbing 10 retwunds.
Angee Middleton added 13 points.
'We accomplished a great deal
as a team and as individuals,"
said coach Duncan of her squad's
13-14 season. I'm very proud of
what we were able to do and the
kids are too."
After losing last year's leading
rebounder and scorer Melanie
l^e to an academic internship
before the season began,
longwood finished third in the
Mason-Dixon regular season race
and beat four of the top five
teams in the South Atlantic
Region. LC had an outstanding
10-4 record on its home court.
The l^dy Lancers will return
eight squad members next
season, but Forbes and Boska
will be difficult to replace.
"I don't like to think about
playing without those two," said
Duncan. "They provided us with
excellent leadership as well as
points, assists and rebunds.
Gymnasts Defeat UMBC
By Rick Rivera
The Longwood gymnastics
team concluded its home
schedule Saturday with a win
over Maryland Baltimore County
168.9-168.5. Following spring
break the I^ancers will travel to
James Madison March 20 in their
next action. The win boosted the
Ixincers record to 4-9.
For senior Debbe Malin it was
a most joyous farewell to lancer
Hall. Malin finished third overall
enroute to the highest score of her
collegiate career (34.2). Another
senior contributing to the win was
Kerri Hruby. Both Hruby and
Malin tied for third on bars with
an 8.35.
Coach Ruth Budd was very
excited about the win. Budd
thought her team might have lost
it after a disappointing floor
exercise.
"Somehow we managed to pull
it out," said Budd. "This victory
says a lot about the character of
the team."
Speaking of character, Kim
Booth competed in three of the
four events despite a possible
season-ending foot fracture.
According to Budd she "went
beyond the call of duty and really
saved the meet f or us ! " Booth did
not compete in floor exercise
which ordinarily may have hurt
the Lancers drastically.
However, Teresa Robey came on
strong with a fine performance to
help preserve the win.
The ever consistent Lynda
Chenoweth was again just that in
earning her highest score of the
year with a 34.15.
With spring break coming up
and a great psychological lift
from the win, Longwood is
pushing toward a regional berth.
I^ancer bars performances have
improved tremendously and with
more hard work coach Budd is
very optimistic about the
upcoming meets.

NINETEEN
Miss Longwood Pageant This Saturday
The First Runnerup to Miss
America (the reigning Miss
Virginia) will be among special
performers at the Miss Longwood
Pageant Saturday, March 21, at
8:00 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium.
As First Runnerup to Miss
America, and as a Swimsuit
Preliminary Winner, Julienne
Smith won a $19,500 scholarship.
In the Miss Virginia Pageant, she
was a Talent Winner and
recipient of a $2,000 scholarship
and other gifts. With one
exception, she fared better than
any other Miss Virginia in the
history of the Miss America
Pageant. The exception was
Kylene Barker, who won the
national title in 1978.
Julianne, 22, a former U.S.O.
and Busch Gardens entertainer,
is currently touring the United
States as a member of the Miss
America Troupe, a group of six
Miss America contestants.
Other special performers at the
Miss Longwood Pageant include
the Held-Over Sisters, a widely
acclaimed musical variety act
that "stole the show" at last
year's Miss Longwood pageant;
the Karen Sherrill Dance Arts
Troupe of North Carolina, which
consists of 13 pageant winners
and others; and Holly Jereme
Wright, Miss Virginia of 1980,
who will serve as emcee. Ms.
Wright hai been featured at the
state pageai't for each of the past
six years.
"Held Over," a Richmond
eroup, consists of three sisters,
ages 15, 13 and 12. They have
performed their singing,
dancing, and comedy act before
audiences of all ages along the
east coast. Two of the girls have
had theater experience as Von
Trapp children in "The Sound of
Music." One appeared nationally
on a "PM Magazine" television
feature on mannequin modeling
and on a WXEX-TV production
on break dancing.
The Karen Sherrill Dance Arts
Troupe has won over 50 first
place awards at talent
competitions throughout the east.
They have performed extensively
for more than 100 pageants and
special events. Most of the
dancers are college students, and
13 of the 15 currently hold or have
held pageant titles. They are
choreographing numbers
especially for the Miss Longwood
Pageant, including the theme
opener, "Catch a Wave," from
the Beach Boys.
Emcee Holly Jereme Wright,
Miss Virginia 1980, is regarded as
one of the most versatile and
talented women to ever win the
state title. She is a dancer,
singer, actress, and comedian. In
addition to her annual
appearances at the Miss Virginia
Pageant, she performs at the
Miss North Carolina Pageant, the
Miss Wheelchair America
Pageant, and the Miss
Wheelchair Virginia Pageant.
She currently owns and operates
the Elizabeth Qty School of
Dance in North Carolina. She is a
graduate of East Carolina
University with a degree in dance
and drama.
The Miss Longwood Pageant
has built a reputation as one of
the outstanding local pageants in
Virginia. And according to
Pageant Director H. Donald
Winkler, "we're doing everything
we can to maintain that
reputation." This year's show, he
said, "should be one of the best
ever."
Ten contestants, chosen from
30 in preliminaries held last
November, will compete for the
Miss Longwood crown. The
winner will receive a $1,000
scholarship, a $500 cash award to
assist with wardrobe expenses
for the Miss Virginia Pageant in
July, and an official Miss
America crown. Golden Corral
Family Restaurant of Farmville
is providing the scholarship and
cash award.
Other scholarships to be
awarded include $700 for the
Second Runnerup (primarily
from Carmine Foods), $300 for
the Third Runnerup (from the
Pageant Director Don Winkler),
and $100 for the Fourth
Runnerup. A talent winner and
Miss Congeniality also will be
announced.
Students can buy tickets in
advance for $2.00 or at the door
for $3.00. Sororities will be selling
tickets at the discount price
during the week of the pageant.

Pago 2 THE ROTUNDA
Once you cut through all the bureaucratic red tape around here,
you can get some things accomplished. The editorial in last week's
Rotunda dealt with the issue of changing the drop policy. It asked
that the drop period be changed from three weeks to seven weeks.
Some teachers voiced their opinions and said this would never be
changed. It was claimed to be a "cop out" by the students. But other
arguments stated that this will help freshmen to adjust better
(there are problems with academic advising as we all know.)
Students are going to have to take the required courses before they
graduate or they simply will not graduate.
The Thursday before Spring Break, the faculty meeting was
held. This issue was discussed. Students who are members of the
academic advisory committee were present to state views. Ricky
Otey, president of SGA spoke to the faculty. After much debate and
analogies (one professor stated that it is better to dive headfirst into
a course than to drift until the seventh week, but another professor
Letters to the Editor
you'll see that I did not call
anyone "a disgrace." My point
stated that he himself liked to wade in, or put his big toe in to test the
waters, that would be all he lost to the pirahnas), the seven week
drop period is now reality. Ricky Otey and open-minded professors
are to be thanked for this.
The next issue that the Rotunda would like to persue is the issue
of safety on this campus. In the last two weeks, one student from
Virginia State and two from U.Va. have died. This hits close to
home. There should be a work-study escort service here on campus
to provide safety to anyone in need of assistance. This should range
out to H-SC. Students who are too drunk to drive home should have a
number to call if they need it. People who study late in the library,
Grainger or S-UN should be able to have someone to escort them
home if need be. We need to have a service like this available, even if
it is not utilized to a great extent. Prevention is what stops problems.
We should not have to learn by our mistakes, especially if it is an
irreverable onfe, like the loss of a life.
Dear Rotunda:
I was very pleased to hear that
my article about students'
involvement in college and
learning prompted a fair amount
of reaction, which was my
intention — I only hope it was
thoughtful reaction and
reflection, not knee-jerk
defensiveness. Unfortunately,
while I was glad that someone
was that I did see three major
areas of concern — passivity,
powerlessness, and narrow
vocationalism — that students at
least needed to consider in their
own lives and their peers. "If the
shoe fits, wear it," as the old
saying goes — I really just
wanted students who actually
took the time to write a response ^^^^ ^^^^ P^^^ ^^ ^^^^^ ^^^
as well, I feel a number of the
comments suggested that kind of
defensiveness and
misinterpreted my original
ideas, I feel compelled to
respond, if only for the sake of
clairty. I would respond
privately, but since this person
bravely chose to remain
anonymous, I'll use the Rotunda
again editor permitting.
First of all, I was confused by
the degree to which this person
got upset and took my thoughts as
a personal attack on him-her or
on Longwood students, involved
or otherwise. I explicitly said that
in my experience most Longwood
students do not fit the
characterization I quoted from
the Chronicle; in particular, if
you read the article carefully
themselves if and how well the
"shoe fits."
More specifically, with respect
to passivity, the only argument
presented was to say that there
are mean faculty out there who
can hurt you and therefore why
should students take risks?
Regardless of the legitimacy of
this claim, it supports, rather
than refutes, my point. Further,
the paranoia and fear of risk-
taking around here is also
suggested by this person's
unwillingness to sign the letter. I
have no doubt that there are
individual faculty (and
administrators, and business
executives, and politicians, and
anyone with power) who abuse
their position and their power. I
also happen to agree, by the way.

that the tenure system is
antiquated and part of the
problem, not the solution. It
seems to me, however, that your
choices are simple: you learn
how to go along to get along, how
to manuever around those
people, whatever, or you find
constructive ways to address the
problem, like the student-run
faculty evaluation system I
mentioned before, or getting a
student petition to present to the
Dean, etc. Will the world change
every time you're unhappy about
something? No — but there will
be less of the passive —
aggressive bitching and
paralysis that seems endemic
here.
Naturally, the administration
also takes its shots in this
person's response — but as usual,
there are no specifics to support
the complaint. I'm no automatic
fan of "The administration,"
but my question is, what
specifically is the problem? And
who is "the administration,"
exactly? I happen to believe that
there is a certain rigidity and
inflexibility in the systems
around here that "holds students
back" — perhaps that is what is
meant by "the administration."
True, there are some
administrators at Longwood,
myself included, who believe that
students here are frequently
treated like children, not adults
— but that is a complex chicken-
or-egg question given the
behavior of some students, and
besides, the letter did not clarify
the point. How can I respond to
such generalities, except to say
that most of the individual
administrators here do not see
their life's work as "holding
students back," and are open to
dialogue and debate about the
System. On the other hand, I
believe that administrators are
educators just like faculty; there
are lessons about living that are
essential aspects of a college
education, and those lessons may
not always make students happy.
While I'm on the subject of
"lessons," I can't resist making
the comment that while the "real
world" may indeed '* party with
alcohol," the "real world" rarely
displays the antisocial behavior
— e.g., vandalism — associated
with alcohol use-abuse among
college students, and when it
does, it's liable for the
'.^.^o<wi„onoo« So the "big bad
admimstration" attempts to.
^•/ifc ^i^te^ laws„ and holdl
students responsible for their
behavior — is this called "holding
students back"? In any case, I
would challenge this student, or
anyone, to present specific
instances of "little or no
administrative help," of "too
damn much administrative
bitching" — let's evaluate
specific circumstances and see
what the problem really is.
The irony in this exchange is
that I think there is basic
agreement about Longwood
involvement issues — perhaps
the disagreement is on the
emphasis and extent of the
concerns. I see progress, to be
sure; with Rickey Otey's
leadership, the SGA has
addressed successfully the drop
period problem with faculty and
is in the process of addressing the
visitation policy with the Board.
However, as the mystery
respondent suggested, it's partly
my job to help all students
somehow, so I'd like to ask about
the 2600 or so who comprise the
Longwood student body: how
many of them are getting all that
they want or can get (two
different issues, 1 realize) from
their Longwood education? My
central point, now as before, is
that there are many of them who,
due to certain attitudes and
perspectives, are not getting the
most out of their investment of
time and money — and we, the
institution, have an educational
responsibility to address this
issue, even at the risk of making
some indiviudals unhappy.
Bill Moore
Student Development
Educator
To the Editor:
As a Senior at this fine
institution, I feel like the time has
come for me to stand up and
voice my opinion. Like many
freshmen, when I came to
college, I had no idea what was
going on. I had never even
stepped foot on a college campus
before. One of the first things I
did was to meet my advisor, who
handed me my schedule, which
consisted of two Sciences,
English, Sociology, and Algebra-
Trig. Now, this is an awful large
load for a first semester
freshman no matter what his
major is. But I trusted my all-
knowing Advisor because I didn't
know I had a choice not to. I
remember asking Dr. Merkle
couldn't I change that Math
because I thought I couldn't
handle it. Of course I couldn't,
my schedule was made according
to my Math scores. I got a D in
Algebra-Trig that semester. The
next semester. Dr. Holman had
me retake my Sociology because
I got a C- in it.
Okay, maybe I was a little slow
catching on but so are alot of
people. We trust our advisors and
they nail us to the wall. My
question is, if a student is really
awful in say. History, Why throw
two History courses at him his
freshman year? Why not let him
stick to safer ground while he's
getting his feet wet? Longwood
only loses students which could
have been real assets to the
college by treating us so
unmercifully.
One other point, someone needs
to explain to students about
applications for degree, minors,
transferring credits, retaking
classes, and such before they are
Juniors. 1 never had an advisor to
sit down and explain any of this to
me until I changed my major to
English and Dr. Frank became
my Advisor. Perhaps, the faculty
needs to learn how to advise
students. This would end alot of
confusion and waste of abilities.

To the Editor,
Vandalism, in so many words,
is the destruction of property. It
is against the law as well as
unpleasant to look at.
What I don't understand is why
students or anybody insists on
destructing property. A good
example is the desks in all the
classrooms. Students seem to
insist on writing or carving their
names, boyfriend or girlfriend's
name, and sorority or fraternity
they are in. Another good
example would be the vending
machine in the lobby of the
Cunningham Dorm. A rumor has
it that somebody pured water into
To the Editor
Physical Education majors
always seem to be the object of
ridicule. Most people think P.E.
classes are simple one credit
classes where you play around,
shoot a few baskets, and leave
early to head to the salad bar.
Maybe some classes are like that,
but most you run your butt off
and write research papers;
especially in second level activity
courses, which are preparing
students to teach. All this for one
To the Editor,
"Farmville" is so laughable.
Instead of worrying about
whether or not to change
Ix)ngwood College to Longwood
University, we should be more
concerned with the name of the
town in which it is located. After
all, some of the same reasons for
changing "longwood College"
overlap into altering the name
"Farmville".
Imagine the reaction of a
prospective employer to a degree
from a college in Farmville,
Virginia. He-She would envision a
country boy-girl, fresh from the
farm, who knows extensively
about milking cows and
butchering chickens, but little
else. Why would they take a
chance on a person from
Farmville, when other equally
qufiified people from New York
the change slot, therefore ruining
the machine. Due to someone's
negligence, the privilege of
having a vending machine is now
gone.
The cost of replacing or fixing
the destructed furniture or
machines is undoubtly thousands
of dollars. Money, in my opinion,
the school should not have to lay
out to pay for damage students
have done out of disrespect. I
understand that since the school
does not have any idea who has
done the vandalizing we all have
to pay.

measley credit, bemg a P.E.

Three credit courses like
Foundations of Sport and
Kinesiology compete with any in

and D.C. are available? It sounds
ridiculous. People should base
employee choices on credentials,
but think of the first time you
heard "Farmville."
"Farmville" connotes a town
stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Nobody knows, or cares, where
Farmville is. There are strong
reasons to discriminate against
somebody from such a town.
Areas separated from some city
life are handicapped in certain
ways. Yes, small towns do get
television and newspapers, but it
is not the same as living in upbeat
America. You have to have lived
in or near a big city to appreciate
the difference in life style and
experiences. Small towns, in
general, are more conservative
than urban areas. They exist in
different degrees of time warps.
In small towns, the pace is much

slower. They do not seem as
aggressive and progress-
oriented. These sentences are all
stereotypes. Progress has taken
place in small towns. But the fact
is that some of these
generalizations are true, and
even more are widely believed.
People tend not to make the
distinction between Farmville
and Longwood College. If a
student states that he-she attends
Longwood College, the following
question is usually, "Where is
that?" The fact that Farmville
may be conservative does not
necessitate that Longwood
College students are. But this
differentiation is seldom made.
Maybe people figure that, even if
students are from big towns, they
College Screw-Ups
must belong in the setting in
which they choose to be educated
in. Many employees seek
creative, liberal workers who
have the potential to raise the
company to new, exciting
heights. They do not want the
conservative, safe person.
More immediate hazards of
"Farmville" than hurting job
chances are the effects on
incoming mail and various
"funny" comments. How many
people fail to write back because
they must send the letter to
Farmville? Many letters even
come with comments like,
"Where is Farmville?" on them.
The status of the name of
"Farmville" is not high. My
sister's friend was looking
mrougn college lists and, upon
seeing Longwood College asked if
anyone could imagine going to
school in a place called
Farmville. My sister said, "My
sister does!"
As has been shown, not only
does "Longwood College" make
certain impressions, but so too
does "Farmville." The name
"Farmville" is a joke to many.
Students and non-students alike
laugh about the name. But this
joke may also have harmful
effects.

By KATIE PARSONS
When it comes to perfection
Longwood is far from the top of
the list; however, being students,
we tend to be able to overlook the
minor problems. There is one
problem that I have a little
trouble forgetting about. It might
not be that big of a problem
except that I see this defect
everyday. You see I have this
thing about bathing regularly.
This "minor" problem that I
have is that the ceiling in my
bathroom shower is falling in. In
fact the problem is extensive
enough that everyone in my suite
is able to pull chunks off the floor
and replace them into the gap
that has formed when the paint
came loose from the plaster.
Now, I can forgive the college its
food, lack of lighting and noisy
reconstruction, but when it
comes to having my ceiling fall in
on me in the middle of my daily
shower it's a different story. I can
just see myself crushed by
whatever horrors lie above me in
the shower above. The Rotunda
headline might read: "Girl found
in Stubbs bathroom, crushed by
bathing greek above, and still
grasping her washcloth, begs for
the hot water to be turned off
before someone flushes." What a
way to go.
I have a friend who has to
worry about the wall being
squishy when she takes a shower.
No big deal right? Wrong, it's the
wall to the hallway. Next
headline: "Girt found wett, nude
and badly bruised by the entire
Delta fraternity in Cox
dormitory." I admit that these
situations would make wonderful
stories for my journalism class,
but to reap the rewards of the
story my friend would have to
endure the payments for
breaking the wall. The funny part
is I'll probably end up paying for
a rotten paint job in my
bathroom.
Well, enough of my
complaining about the showering
areas of Longwood campus. If
you have a problem with your
dorm or another Campus
Screwup leave your name and
number in the features box on the
Rotunda door. I will be more than
happy to write about your
problem and you will be helping
me express some things that need
to be taken care of on the
campus.

'The Old Lady'
Gets The Once-Over
Series Of Performing Arts
Past^ Present And Future
By JENNIFER FORD
The Visit of the Old Lady";
wierd but good. The play is about
a small European town, G'Dung,
and the return of a former citizen
Qaire Zachanassian. Claire fled
from G'Dung 45 years ago in
sheme because she was pregnant
and the father, Alfred 111, had
taken her to court and used two
bribed boys to say that they too
had slept with her. As a result of
being driven away from G'Dung
she became a prostitute and her
child died after a year. Claire had
a series of marriages by which
she became the richest woman in
the world. With her wealth she
rt'iumed to G'Dung to seek
justice from Alfred 111. G'Dung
was on the verge of economic
collapse and Qaire offered one
billion marks to the town if
someone would kill Alfred.
Everyone in the town assumes
that someone else will kill Alfred
so they all go on a shopping spree
by using credit. Now they are all
in debt and Alfred is still alive. In
the end Alfred does die and the
town gets its money and Claire
gets her revenge.
The play was very funny. In
parts at times I felt guilty for
laughing. A lot of the laughs were
visual. For instance everyone
bought yellow shoes on the
shopping spree that they went on.
The Policeman wore lift shoes
with about a two inch heel on it.
There was an hysterical part in
the play in which Scott
Koenigsberg, who played the
Teacher, made a drunken fool of
himself. The play had a lot of
very odd parts in it. Claire
surrounded herself with men that
all had names ending in oby, like
Toby, Roby, and Boby. During
the play itself she had three
different marriages, all three
were played by the same actor,
Mike Hart. Oaire thought of
herself as unkillable, even though
her body was falling apart: She
had an ivory hand and a fake leg.
The set itself was unusual. You
moved from one place to another
simply by picking up a bench or
hanging up a picture. It was all
made believable. The most
fascinating scene was the drive
through the country . . . The car
consisted of two benches and a
steering wheel. I hear a lot of the
audience laugh through this
scene and all I could think was
what do they expect? They
cannot exactly bring out a car
and drive it around.
The "Visit" is a funny play with
some serious messages in it
about what justice is and how far
will a town go to satisfy its greed.
I like the play, my roommate
thought it was "hysterical". I am
not so sure that you could call it a
comedy at all or a serious play. It
is just something that you have to
see for yourself so that you can
decide what it is and what it is
saying.
The auditorium lights
dim, the curtain opens and a
hush falls over the audience. The
crowd settles back into their
seats and another performance,
sponsored by the Longwood
Series of Performing Arts,
begins. Actually that is only
partially true. While the show
has just started for the viewers, it
has been going on for several
months for the members of the
Performing Arts.
Says junior Anna Prow, chair
for the Series, "In the beginning
we look at our budget and figure
out what type of programs we
want to have during the season."
This past season hosted Dizzie
Gillespie, the Richmond Ballet,
the National Boy Choir and
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat. The
final performance of the 86-87
season will be Angel Street, to be
held on April 4. "The response to
this past season has been really
good," says Anna.
The 87-88 season will include:
the Richmond Ballet, a
Christmas Carol, The musical
Purlle, the New York chamber
soloists to perform Vivaldi's 4
Seasons and Opera Buffa. There
is a possibility that one more
performance may be added to
next season's schedule.
A lot of hard work and
dedication goes into planning a
successful season. Often times
people seem to think that the
Series is a part of the Longwood
By PAMELA J. WERNER
Players of the Performing Arts
Department as a whole. In
actuality they are just a small
group of students working
together to bring traditional
music, drama and dance
programs to the school. (As
opposed to the Student Union
which provides contemporary
entertainment such as Dan Peek
and the Bangles).
Sophomore Patrice Landers,
secretary for the Series keeps the
members informed about
meetings and show dates and
helps "greatly in the process of
presenting a show," says Anna.
Publicity also plays a major
role in any show. Sophomore
Anne Smith, Publicity Manager,
is in charge of distributing flyers,
hanging posters and letting the
public know when and where a
show is, as well as how much it
costs.
Sophomore Jeff Dingeldein,
Vice Chair for the Series heads
the Community Advisory
Committee. He talks with the
season ticket holders in the
community and gets their input
on the programming for the
season. Occasionally dinners are
held for the season ticket holders
(at an extra cost) before the
performances. Says Anna, "The
dinner is a social way for the
community to become involved in
Longwood."
The day of a performance, or
possibly the evening before,
Series members assist technical
crews in any way possible. They
help prepare scenery, fix lighting
and work with any special effects
needed for a show.
While this is going on, senior
Donzella Walker, treasurer for
the Series, is working at the box
office. A few of her many tasks
include having the tickets printed
and ready to sell, having enough
change at the box office and, at
the end of a show, paying the
performers.
After a show, the audience is
invited to a reception in Jarman's
lobby. Freshman Kim Clanton is
responsible for catering the
party. As Reception Chair, she
helps give the public a chance to
interact with the performers.
According to Anna, people seem
to think the performers aren't
regular people. |
"When I met Dizzie Gillespie I
thought he was untouchable.
After his performance I joked
around with him and suggested
we party and he was ready to
boogie down."
At the end of an evening, when
the crowd is gone and the show
has long since been over, the
Series members disassemble the
sets and scenery and help the
technicians pack their gear. As
the members of the Series say
their goodbyes to the performers,
they congratulate each other on a
job well done and then begin to
get psyched for the next show.
Ladies and Gentlemen, that's
entertainment.

Mystery only fits his classes
around the peak hours of the
dining hall. He feels that since he
is such a nonentity, that there is
the only place he can make
himself known. Although he is not
"book smart," he has quite a
creative mind.Mystery finds food
intriguing, not only as a source of
nourishment, but as an art form.
Some of Mystery's favorite
dining hall subjects are: ice
cream cones, plates, glasses,
mashed potatoes, peas, plants,
and napkins. He displays all of
his works on two canvas
mediums. One, known as the
simple blue or white tablecloth,
and the other known as the tray
cart. Maybe you've seen some of
his masterpieces. One I'm sure
you've all seen is the one he is
most famous for, "Stack of
Porcelain." Mystery works hours
to achieve this gravity defying,
abstract, pile of plates with an
assortment of vegetables and
meats oozing from the sides. He

students may still eat, but
unfortunately, we contribute, and

Spring Break Blues
By KATIE
The week before Spring Break
is always a hectic one. It seems
as if all the teachers who haven't
given a test before decide to
make the first one the mid-term.
I don't understand how they can
do this with a clear conscience,
but they seem to take great
pleasure in watching the students
sweat it out. There is a good point
to all of this though. If you end up
with a bad grade at mid-term you
can always say that it was your
first test and that you'll do better
on the next one. However bad it
seems there is always that
glimmer of hope that you'll live
through the week and be able to
relax at home.
Home. That place that you go to
when you need space, right?
Wrong. When you come home for
break your parents assume that
you've been on a joy ride for the
past two months. They
immediately start giving you
things to do so that "you won't get
bored". My break usually starts
out with me washing the dogs. It
seems that I'm the only one who
can get them to behave. Right.
How many people do you know
that can't hold a beagle down for
a good soaking? Next your Mom
wakes you up at odd hours that
aren't supposed to exist during
break (you know, 11 a.m.) for a
"decent" breakfast. This occurs
only once at my house. Training
parents is kind of like training a
puppy, you yell a couple of times
PARSONS
and they get the drift.
If your Spring Breaks consist of
activities like those I've
described above I hope that you
have learned to cope. To cope the
college student likes to escape to
places that are more peaceful.
Places like Florida. Florida is
the place to be if you don't want
parental types during your
break. During the Spring Break
period parents avoid Florida like
the plague. People who live in
Florida leave.
Another way to escape your
"home" during break is to never
be home. Parents expect this
from their children. If you're
home all the time they wonder if
you have any friends. Spend a
few nights at a friend's house that
is at least 45 minutes from your
own. This ensures that they won't
call to check up on you because
the call would be long distance. If
your parents do call and ask what
your plans are tell them that
you're going out. Out is a vague
term but it seems to satisfy most
parents.
For some students it is a relief
to come back to school after
break. Nobody expects you to do
much at school and your
roommate knows better than to
wake you up in the morning. The
food isn't great, but at least they
serve it to you whenever you
want to eat. All in all it is good to
be "home" even if you do have to
go to classes in the morning.
turns to the tray carts. He allows
us to contribute, and begin his
work of art, then takes the liberty
to complete it. He first holds
captive all the dining hall
workers, then balances glasses,
silverware, plates and bowls on
to the fringes of the trays. He
then proceeds to have just pulled
out the key spoon holding the
piece together. In a split second
they were showered with the
concoction of milk, macoroni and
cheese, and yogurt he carefully
balanced on top of it all.
Let's give the guy a helping
hand, and not let him go
unnoticed. Maybe we can get him
to go to a few more classes, and
not let him get so carried away
with his hobby. We can all help
him in this stage of insecurity in
his life, by giving him some
lx)ngwood Ijove. He may be a
littly nerdy, but isn't there a littly
Mystery in all of us?

Students Clamor
To Help
^Govern'
Campuses
Congratulations to New
Orientation Leaders
The issue seemed to fade in the
late seventies, however, and
stayed in the background until
this school year.
At Harvard, one student
observer attributed the revival to
the campus anti-apartheid
movement, which led some
students to question how
investment and other
campuswide decisions were
made.
"Students are analyzing their
roles much more and want to be
part of the decisionmaking on
their campuses," Wilsey says.
"Thev think the colleges are
there to serve them, so they
should have a major role."
Currently, 32 states and the
District of Columbia let students
sit on least one education
governing board, up from about
26 states in 1981. A few have
voting privileges.
But the issue remains unsettled
at some schools.
Ohio students are engaged in a
14-year battle in the state
legislature to win voting rights
for student trustees.
Student leaders at South
Dakota's state schools have
formed a federation to lobby the
legislature for student regent
The student "governance"
movement seems to be reviving.
At Harvard, all Ohio public
colleges, Alabama State and
other campuses, students in
recent months have renewed
efforts — some lapsed for more
than a decade — to gain seats on
the governing boards of their
schools.
The reason seems to be money.
As college costs escalate,
students feel they should have a
say in how their educations are
offered to them.
"Individual campus groups
and state student associations
are working to get student
trustees on governing boards, e-
specially if they're elected by
students and not appointed by
governors," explains Shelly
Wilsey of the United States
Student Association (USSA), a
national lobbying group for
student government associations.
During the sixties, many
students won seats on their
college boards of regents or
trustees. While few had voting
rights, most could present
student opinions on isues often
influencing the decisions of board
members.

Delta Sigs Strive
By PAMELA J. WERNER
"Delta Sigma Pi is unique
because of the brotherhood. We
strive for a strong closeness. By
being all business majors it helps
a lot because we strive for one
common goal," says sophomore,
Tim Tabler, president of the
Kanpii Nu Chapter at I^ngwood,
liongwood.
This strong bond between the
brothers helped them to receive
the honor of being proclaimed the
best chapter in the United States,
ranking number one out of two
hundred eleven chapters. The
business fraternity's central
office, located in Oxford, Ohio,
keeps a running total of Chapter
Efficiency Index (C.E.I.) Points.
These points can be accumulated
through professional activities,
community service and pledge
membership.
Currently the Delta Sigs have
forty members, twelve faculty
members and twelve pledges.
Becoming involved in the
community has played an
important role in the lives of the
brothers. Some of their
accomplishments have included
working as buggers at the Special
Olympics, throwing a Halloween
party for underpriviledged kids,
making Easter baskets and
taking them to children in the
hospital and collecting food and
toys for the needy at Christmas.
Community service is not the
Chapter's only forte.
Professional activities also fill
their schedules. Tours at such
companies as Reynolds,
Westinghouse, Rich Foods and
Phillip Morris," provide
opportunities to learn about
business as a whole," says Tom
Maroney, a sophomore member
of Delts Sigma Pi.
Speakers from all over the
state of Virginia, including some
of Longwood's faculty, have
discussed topics ranging from
entry level sales to top
management positions.
Last year Delta Sigma Pi won
the title of Most Improved
Chapter in the nation. This year
they are striving for Most
Outstanding Chapter. With the
apparent determination and
effort of the brothers, the
common goal of success can be
achieved.
voimg ngnis.
And in January, after a two-
month student government
boycott of all administration-
sponsored events, Alabama State
President Leon Howard finally
agreed to back the students'
efforts to get a student seat on the
board of trustees.
"We're quite pleased with his
decision," says Alabama l^te
student treasurer Hassan
Walker. "Now we're waiting for
the opportunity to sit down with
the president and iron out some of
the wrinkles in the plan. But
appointment of a student trustee
will have to come from the
governor."
While the idea of student
representation seems prudent
and necessary to most students
and campus leaders, governing
board members and state
legislators have mixed emotions.
USSA's Wilsey claims most
boards "don't want to have to
give up any decision making
power."
And some administrators say a
student on a governing board,
with or without voting rights,
presents a conflict of interest,
says Linda Henderson of the
Association of Governing Boards
of Universities and Colleges.
"They have to learn to view
things in the best interest of the
school as a wnoie and not just in
the interest of the students.
"And to be effective, a student
representative needs experience.
Most get on the boards going into
their senior year, and that's not
enough time to learn how the
board works."
Some boards and legislatures,
however, encourage student
participation, especially in
student affairs issues.
"Even non-voting students can
have a voice in decision making
and often can influence the vote
on an issue," Henderson adds.
But winning representation
often takes time and means
winning over stubborn
legislators.
In Ohio, Democratic
Representative Mike Stinziano
has spent 14 years pushing for
student representation on the
Ohio Board of Trustees. In 1985,
his Dill paSSeU UIC nuuac uu\, ui<:;u
in a Senate committee.
"Right now, legislators are
concerned about what's going on
with the Ohio economy," says
Rebecca Mitchells, executive
director of the Kent State Student
Senate. "Higher education was
totally forgotten in the past few
years, and it's only now that it's
getting some attention."
"Student representation has
been a priority here for a long
time, but it's beginning to get
discouraging." she notes.
South Dakota students also
hope new faces in the new
legislature will boost their
chances of winning voting
privileges for a student regent.
"Last time they voted, it was
50-60, a tie vote, but no majority
so it failed," says Paul Knecht,
president of South Dakota State
University's student association
at Brookings.
"There also was high turnover
on the regents this election, and
the new group could be more
open to student imput. But even
with no voting privileges, a
student on the board often can
turn the tide in close regent
votes."
And the students who sit on
governing boards take that
responsibility — and their other
duties — seriously, often more so
than non-student members.
"There are very few occasions
when we can refute a student
board member, whether voting
or non-voting," admits the AGB's
Henderson.
"They take this very seriously
and do their homework on the
issues," she adds. "Every
student trustee I've ever talked to
has been very responsible. They
do their homework better than
the regular members."

Eric Kraft, author of the
critically acclaimed serial novel
The Personal History,
Adventures, Experiences &
Observations of Peter Leroy, will
visit Longwood College April 7-8
to give a reading and to discuss
the novel with students, who are
reading it this semester in
freshman English classes.
The novel, of which eight
installments have been published
since 1983, is a whimsical account
of a boy growing up in the
fictional seaside town of
Babbington during the 1950s. It is
the featured long novel currently
being studied in all sections of
English 101.
Kraft will answer questions at
an open session in Bedford
Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 7. The next night,

called the Miss Longwood
Pageant "the best local pageant
I've been in."
Ten finalists vied for the title of

again at 7:30 in Bedford, he will
give a reading. He also will be
visiting classes.
Both evening programs are
open to the public.
Kraft, a former English
teacher who lives in Boston, was
awarded a writing fellowship by
the National Endowment for the
Arts in 1986. His fiction has been
compared to that of Mark Twain,
Marcel Proust and Garrison
Keillor, author of the best-seller
Lake Woebegon Days.
"Peter Leroy 's world shines
through just like childhood itself:
both tiny and enormous, full of
mystery and wonder, but with
terror lurking all around the
edges," according to the New
York Times Book Review.
"These books," said the
Christian Science Monitor, "are
about the past; how we transform
it, how we alter it to fit our
wishes, dreams and current
situation."
The Washington Post said the
novel "blends gentle nostalgia
with a series of experiments in
fiction writing," and the Boston
Globe praised its "simple prose
and good-spirited whimsy."
The books are based on Kraft's
childhood in Babylon, New York,
a town on Ijong Island. "He first
encountered Peter Leroy in a
dream, while he was dozing over
a German lesson during his
sophomore year at Harvard,"
according to a biographical
.sketch.
While teaching secondary-
school English, Kraft "began
spending early-morning and late-
evening hours building a world
around Peter Leroy ~ jotting
notes, inventing conversations,
mapping the imaginary town of
Babbington. For several years,
he worked as a writer and editor
of textbooks, but much of his
spare time was still spent
wandering the streets of
Babbington."
Peter Leroy first appeared in
print in a newsletter published in
irregular installments for six
years. The books were published
originally by Apple-wood Books,
a small publisher in Cambridge,
Mass., and they gained Kraft a
cult-like following in the Boston
area. They are being distributed
nationally now by Warner Books.
The books are available in the
Longwood bookstore.
Kraft has written parts of what
will be two future installments
ana nas signed a contract to write
a "biography" of Peter I^eroy's
maternal grandparents, to be
called Herb n' I^ma, said Dr.
Michael Lund, associate
professor of English at
Longwood. Dr. Lund is
coordinating Kraft's visit.
Peter Leroy is the fourth long
novel that Ix)ngwood freshmen
have studied in English 101 since
the college received a grant from
the National Endowment for the
Humanities. The $28,000 grant
helped l>ongwood to build upon a
pilot program in which fre.shmen
were required to read and
become familiar with a long
novel.
David Copperfleld and Bleak
House, both by Charles Dickens,
and Nostromo, by Joseph
Conrad, were studied previously.

Last Thursday, Sue Saunders and Joe McGill spoke at the S.G.A.
meeting on the issue of alcohol. The argument was presented that
there will be no kegs in the residence hall living areas (i.e. rooms
and suites). Kegs, though, would be allowed in rooms such as
lounges, common rooms and chapter rooms. Only 25 percent of the
student body will be able to drink next year. This action would
comply to the state regulations. Also, Longwood is the only in-
stitution of its kind that still allows kegs in the residence hall living
areas.
This sanction would help reduce the amount of excessive
drinking by those legally old enough and also reduce the amount of
illegal drinking by those not old enough. What will be the results of
this proposal. Longwood is already known as a suitcase college, will
this make more students leave on the weekends? Will the mixers
come back? Will there be less problems in trying to register parties?
Will sororities and fraternities not lose their social privileges as
much?
This is a valid proposal, but is the administration going to give
the student body something in return?
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
results of the Miss Longwood
Pageant. All along everyone has
been stressing the fact that it was
not a "beauty" pageant, but
rather a "scholarship" pageant.
This fact was definitely proven on
that Saturday night.
I am not downing the results or
the pageant entirely. I thoroughly
enjoyed myself and have in the
past. The only difference between
this year's and the past is that
everyone who has won in the
past, deserved to win. Now, don't
get me wrong. I sincerely believe
that the winner deserved the title
of Miss Longwood, 1987. She
carried herself very well, unlike
others and was very natural,
unlike others. 1 am pleased by the
fact that she will be representing
us wherever she may venture.
Carla was the only winner of the
right that should have won. The
other three, in my opinion, should
have stayed on the back line.
Like already stated, the judges
helped kill the hypothesis that the
Miss Longwood Pageant was a
beauty pageant. It is now a talent
show. Why not change the name
to the Miss Longwood Variety
Show? I believe that would be
quite appropriate. Granted, one
of the runners-up really did sound
like Julie Andrews, but let's not
kid ourselves; she could not even
walk in high-heeled shoes! I've
seen some guys walk more
gracefully when they've worn
girlfriend's shoes. Another
runner-up's dance was unusual,
but the way she walked! It was
like someone had stuck two big
logs under each of her arms.
Are these the type of girls you
see in the bigger pageants? Hell
no! It is sad, I know. The Miss
Virginia, Miss America, Miss
U.S.A., etc. Pageants are full of
women who know how to properly
carry themselves as well as have
the looks and talent to make it.
I have not intended to hurt
people's feelings — just to give
some constructive criticism. I
have meant only to state the
facts. Maybe next year's pageant
will be a pageant instead of a
talent show.
Congratulations Carla, and
much success in the Miss
Virginia Pageant. I'll be behind
you all the way!
— A very concerned
upperclassman

subject touched upon in a letter

problem with classes or
scheduling, it is your job to work
this predicament out: your ad-
visor cannot be expected to pick
up on all problems and have them
ironed out for you before you
have to deal with them.
There are lots of goofy little
things that an advisee should be
aware of in course offerings, such
as classes that are only offered
every other year, etc. If you wait
until spring semester of your
senior year to worry about cat-
ches like this, it's your own fault
not your advisor's. By the time
you are a sophomore (if not a
freshman) in college, you should
be big enough and ugly enough to
take care of things like this
yourself — get them taken care of
before it's too late.
"How are we supposed to find
out about all these schedule
glitches?" you ask. Listen to
people around you griping about
their experiences and take heed.
Ask your advisor; don't wait to be
told. Read the course-offering
catalog. Talk with the head of the
department you're majoring in,
or head of the department you're
having problems in. You'll be
surprised at how much you find
out just by taking the initiative to
ask around about little things.
I am a sophomore at the
moment, and have had my share
of advisor troubles: I am not
unaware of what some people are
going through: You have to help
yourself, though. You cannot-
leave everything up to an ad-
visor.
As an English major, I know
that the English department has
this neat little ditto you can use to
keep track of what you have
taken and still need to take to
meet all your graduation
requirements in that field. If the
department of your major has
these, go get one. If they don't,
talk to someone about typing one
up. I have my schedule all
worked out when I go to see my
advisor — all she has to do is look
it over and sign on the dotted line.
Actually, I have a good idea of
what I'll be doing every semester
until I graduate, thanks to that
"self-advising" ditto.
I see advisors as serving to fill
a long-term purpose, rather than
as people we can ask which

I would like to express my

my attention. At 5:30 p.m. on the
evening of January 24, 1987, 1 and
four of my friends were in
Blackwell Dining Hall eating
dinner. If you don't remember,
that day, we were in the midst of

They could've been out on a caU,

It was apparent that he needed

get him to the hospital. One of us
ran over to campus police, and
there was no one in sight. So we
had to dig Tim's car out of a foot
of snow, (because none of us
others had a car) and drive on the
very slippery, icy and dangerous
roads up to Southside Hospital.
Fortunately, Tim was okay. He
had a couple stitches and part of
his nail had to be removed, but it
wasn't a fatal accident. Yet had it
been more serious or life
threatening, what could we have

And there are many other
advantages we have at
Longwood. If an employee
refuses to hire a Longwood
graduate because he went to a
college located in Farmville, that
employer is fairly narrow
minded. I wouldn't work for
someone who put ;my college
down anyway. Anyone who is
embarrassed to hold a degree
from a college located in
Farmville should not even attend
this school. In order to raise our
reputation, and we students are
the college reputation, we need to
have students who are proud to
be at this school. Farmville is not
joke, and it's a shame that some
students can't look beyond the
name of this city and see that
Longwood offers quality
education.

To the Editor
As an active member in two of
the more accessible on-campus
organizations, I often find myself
faced with a question that
confronts all campus
organizations— how involved
should that group's faculty
advisor be in its operations?
The advisor's first priority is to
advise, as the title suggests. This
entails helping the executives of
Virginia and wouldn't change my the student organization in the
background even if I could. The event there is any trouble. And if
people of Farmville have the there is anything that requires

have a
outside help; say, from another
organization or faculty member,
then the advisor could, but not
necessarily, be the one who takes
care of that. Basically, what I'm
saying is that the advisor
intervenes when he or she is
needed. Or, as one of my advisors
says, he should serve as a backup
in case anything goes wrong.
But what if everything is
running smoothly? Should the
advisor by able to interject at any
given time? I think not, unless it
is absolutely necessary. These
are student groups, run by
students for the benefit of the
college community. The problem
I have is that the advisor for the
organization I am most involved
with appears to want to take over
the whole operation. Sure,
assistance in paperwork is nice,
but he wants all bills, mail, and
papers to be channeled through
him, before it gets to the elected
executives of the group. This can
prove to be very awkward to
normal operations, especially
when there is a conflict of
interests between advisor and
board, as exists here. In fact, the
advisor is asking for more credit
than is due him, which he feels he
deserves for work done toward
the group. A clear case of
overstepping one's bounds.
The organizational advisor acts
to assist the organization when
it's needed, and serves as a liason
to the administration. That is it. I
think it's time the boundaries
between advising and dictating

This is in response to Kris
Meyer's letter concerning
FarmviUe. I strongly disagree
with her views, for one thing not
only is Farmville being cut down,
but small towns in general. There
are many colleges in towns just
like Farmville, take Randolph-
Macon, Sweetbriar, Radford and
Va. Tech just to name a few, as
well as our neighbor Hampden-
Sydney. All of these colleges
began in small, southern, rural
communities and all have
produced graduates that have
gone on to become successfull
businessmen and women in
larger cities such as New York.
For instance, my uncle was
raised in a small, rural
community and went to a small
college. Now he is the chairman
of the board of American Electric
Power Co. I know that Longwood
doesn't have a reputation that
parallels that of Randolph-Macon
or some others, but that hes
nothing to do with where we aro

SMS Fashion Show
Dos Passos Prize
Presented Tonight
By KIMBERLY JONES
Gold room setting, a candlelit
flower arrangement, and a host
of flower decor set the stage for
the annual SMS Bridal Fashion
Show. The home economics club
once again created a beautiful
allusion of a spring wedding.
Tiffany's of Petersburg with
their spokes woman, Ms. Angel,
made the fashion show a reality
with new wedding attire.
Lace, satin, sequins, bows, and
ruffles were in popular demand
for this year's show. Shorter veils
and longer trains were also on the
popularity list. Elegant to
exquisite can describe the new
line of wedding gowns. The styles
of the gowns ranged from a
depicted "Gone With the Wind"
scene to a contemporary "On The
Town" look. Bridesmaid's
dresses ranged from hot pink,
long gowns to emerald green tea-
length dresses. Along with
models from the home ec club,
nutritionist, Sheri Nunn was on
hand to show how the wedding
gowns and the bridesmaids
dresses should be worn.
Niki Fallis and Mary Woodburn
were excellent models as they
showed off the mothers dresses in
the fashion show. Male models
used as escorts completed the full
picture of a wedding. During
intermission the owners of
Carters Flower Shop, Anne Nase
and Helen Stimpson, spoke on
appropriate flowers for weddings
and wedding gowns.
The SMS organization should
be commended on a job well
done. We look forward to seeing
next year's bridal show.

Dr. Cook To Teach In New Zealand
ByMATTPETERMAN
When Dr. Martha Cook, an
Associate Professor of English,
received the news that she had
been awarded a Fulbright grant
last semester, she was quick to
tell all. "I was very excited" she
said, of being chosen over many
other applicants to teach
American literature in New
Zealand and come June she will
begin her odyssey in the southern
hemisphere.
About 1300 teachers and
students are awarded Fulbright
grants each year, and Dr. Cook
will join the ranks of only two
other Ix)ngwood scholars who
have received the grants.
Another Ix)ngwood scholar is
under consideration as well as a
Foreign Language student for the
grant.
The Fulbright program began
in 1948 with legislation
established by Senator William
Fulbright in order to establish
mutual understanding between
the U.S. and other countries. The
program was originally funded
by the sale of excess war
equipment in the U.S. arsenal
after World War II. Today, the
U.S. has Fulbright agreements
with over 120 countries allowing
many foriegn scholars to enter
the U.S. to teach— each country
with its own cost-sharing
agreement with the U.S.
The Fulbright Program is
administered by the United
States Information Agency
(USIA) and by the Presidentially
appointed Guidelines Board of
Foreign Scholarships. The other
details mduding the processing
of the applications are worked
out by the Council for
International Exchange of
Scholars (QNES).
In June, Dr. Cook will board a
plane and say good-bye to
Virginia for about six months.
Upon leaving the United States
from Los Angeles she will head to
Papeete, Tahiti for a short visit
allowing herself to adjust to the
over 12 hour time difference she
will incur.
She will then fly to Aukland,
New Zealand and after a short
southeast drive, she will find
herself in Hamilton, the city
where the University of Waikato
is located and the new home
away from home for Dr. Cook.
"I will be teaching Southern
United States Literature on
Northern Island," she jests. The
students will be returning from
their summer breaks when she
begins teaching the winter and
spring sessions at Waikato. The
difference of the seasons can
simply be explained; as the
northern hemisphere comes
closer to summer, the southern
hemisphere approaches winter
causing Dr. Cook to endure yet
another winter.
Dr. Cook speaking to The
Department of English and
Modem Languages said that
students in New Zealand do not
like much assistance or what is
comparable to the help many
professors give their students. In
general she said, "students seem
interested in learning American
literature" and ". . .are very
receptive," according to her
research on New Zealand. "I was
just fortunate enough to get a
country where they speak
English" she says, referring to
other countries she had applied.
Some sights around Hamilton
she will encounter are the
Rotorua, which consists of
magnificent bubbling mud and
many hot springs. The
Agrodome, where big
agricultural shows take place
and Waitomo, a place where the
glow worms live. Dr. Cook also,
plans"... to take a helicopter ride:
for some fightseeing..." as it is
called in New Zealand, to see the
vast coimtryside and mountains.
Dr. Cook will also travel to
Australia on her break between
sessions at Waikato to practice
the art of tourism.
She will return back to the U.S.
in the first quarter of next year
and return to Longwood in the fall
of 1988, at which time she will
present her experiences in New
Zealand to the interested
students and faculty of
Longwood.
Longwood College will award the
1986 John Dos Passes Prize for
Literature to novelist John Edward
Wideman, the first black author to
receive the prestigious award.
' He will accept the prize in
ceremonies at Longwood on
Tuesday, March 31, at 8 p.m. in
Wygal Auditorium. The occasion
also will be the seventh anmvers;iry
of the Dos Passos Prize, which
includes a medal and a cash award
of $1,000.
Wideman is perhaps best known
for his collection of fiction titled The
Homewood Trilogy, which depicts
the largely black section of
Pittsburgh where he grew up. The
final volume of the trilogy, Sent For
You Yesterday, won the PEN-
Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1984.
His autobiographical work,
Brothers and Keepers, was
nominated for the National Book
Critics Circle Award and was listed
in the New York Times' 15 Best
Books of 1964.
A native of Philadelphia,
Wideman was a basketball star at
the University of Pennsylvania. He
was inducted into the Big Five
Basketball Hall of Fame, but turned
down a chance at a professional
career in favor of a Rhodes
scholarship.
He studied literature at Oxford
University and, in 1967, went to the
Iowa Writers' Workshop. His first
novel was published that year.
Wideman also is the author of
short fiction, critical articles,
essays, reviews, and a television
script. He taught for 12 years at the
University of Wyoming and is now
professor of English at the
University of Massachusetts-
Amherst.
The John Dos Passos Prize for
Literature commemorates one of
the greatest of 20th century
American authors by honoring other
JOHN EDWARD WmEMAN
writers in his name. The prize has
been given to writers as diverse as
Tom Wolfe, Robert Stone, and Doris
Berts.
The winner is chosen by an
independent jury appointed by the
college each year. The 1986 jury
included Martha E. Cook, associate
professor of Elnglish at Longwood
and chair of the prize committee,
and novelists George Garrett and
Russell Banks, the prize wmner for
1985.
In introducing Wideman's work to
the readers of Elsquire last summer.
Banks wrote that the novelist writes
"the kind of fiction that might gev us
out of this century and into the next
without losing our souls along the
way ... (He is) at the leading edge
of what I think of as the New World
Writers, most of them men and
women in their forties now and just
beginning to give loud and clear
voice to a powerful belief in fiction's
essential role in the c-eation of a
moral history of the hemisphere."

To Speak
Tonight
Dr. Beatrice Stith Clark, an
authority on Afro-French
literature and culture, will speak
at Longwood about French West
Africa on Tuesday, March 31.
Dr. Clark will show two slide
presentations — "The Senegalese
Family" and "An African Short
Story: Bouki's Bull" - at 5:30
p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. The
program is open to all students
and the community.
The slide presentations are

she did in Togo, Senegal and the
Ivory Coast. They have been
produced in a filmstrip version
by the International Film Bureau
for foreign language classes.
Dr. Clark is currently a
program officer in the Division of
Fellowships and Seminars for the
National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH). She is on
leave from Hampton
University, where she is a French
professor.
She developed and directed five
foreign language projects funded
by the NEH, at Hampton, from
1978 to 1985 In those projects, she
developed print and visual
curriculum materials in French
and Spanish, based on the
cultures of French- and
Spanish-speaking peoples of the
African diaspora and continental
Africa.
Her lecture is in conjunction
with the Introduction to Africa
class, which is a part of

Longwood will celebrate its
150th Sesquicentennial
anniversary during the 198ft-89
academic year. To plan the
celebration, a committee was
established and named the
"Sesquicentennial Steering
Committee." One of the sub-
committees was charged with the
respon.sibility of recommending a
campus beautification project.
The project recommended by
the sub-committee is the "Mall
Project." The "Mall" is the
courtyard area between the
outside entrance to the new
Smoker Area and Pine Street.
Probably every student on
campus walks through this area
on his-her way to the dining hall.
Pre.sently, his area is bordered
by the wall of the dining hall, the
hedges along Pine Street, the
service road next to Hiner and
the back of Grainger.
The ultimate goal is to change
this area, including the streets,
into a space for student outdoor
activities such as mini concerts,
informal meetings, socials,
conversation spaces and general
student use. This will be a .student
area and a student project. To
begin this project, a de.sign is
needed. A contest for the be.st
de.sign submitted by a student is
now officiallly open. There are
three major requirements for the
designers to consider: 1) The
area must be realtively
maintenance-free; 2) The holly
tree must remain (all other
plantings, sidrwalks, and objects
can be changed); and 3) the area
mast be attractive to student use.
The de.sign winner will have his
or her name and class inscribed
on the dedication of plaque and
will receive an award of $100.00.
Entries are due by noon, Friday,
April 17, at the office of Mr. Rick
Hurley, Vice President for
Business Affairs in South
Ruffner. The judges will be: Dr.
Greenwood, Homer Springer,
Phyllis Mable, David Breil,
Rickey Otey, and several other
students who have not yet
indicated they would be willing to
serve as judges. The award for
the design will be announced and
presented in the Main Dining
Hall, Blackwell Dining Hall, on
Thursday, April 30, at 6:00 p.m.
This is an opportunity for all
Longwood students to use their
imaginations and de.sign
whatever they believe
Longwood's campus can be.
End The Arms Race Lobby
This Week In D.C.
On April 2, college students
from across the country will take
action to help stop the nuclear
arms race. The students will
participate in the fourth annual
University Lobby to End the
Arms Race sponsored by United
Campuses to Prevent Nuclear
War (UCAM). The lobby day is a
chance for students and faculty
nationwide to urge Congress to
pass legislation calling for a
Comprehensive Test Ban treaty
(CTB).
The Mutual Nuclear Warhead
Testing Moratorium bill (H. R.
12), now in the House of
Representatives, was introduced
by Reps. Patricia Schroeder (D-
CO) and Richard Gephardt (I>
MO). With a vote likely in early
April, the April 2 Lobby Day can
make a real difference.
UCAM, the only organization
devoted to building a campus
movement to end the arms race,
holds the annual event to teach
students effective citizen skills
for a lifetime of use.
Wendy James, a Furman
University student who attended
last year said, "It's great to see
how many people are concerned
and willing to act. I felt
empowered by the experience
and plan to continue working to
stop the arms race."
Lobby Day is more than an
opportunity to lobby for an end to
the arms race. The event
includes briefings with national
arms control lobbyists, a march
to the Capitol followed by a rally
on the Capitol East Side to ban
nuclear tests, and appointments
with participants'
Congresspersons.
The students who travel to
Washington for Lobby Day do
make an impression on their
Congresspersons .
Representative Claudine
Schneider (K-Kl), a past Lobby
Day speaker, says, "College
students are one of the greatest
untapped resources of the peace
movement. It's their futures
we're talking about— so it's
heartening to see them show their
concern by participating in a
project such as this."
This year, for the first time,
UCAM is offering a Leadership
Development Program on the
day following Lobby Day. The
April 3 workshops will train
students in such skills as
organizing educational events,
working with the media,
fundraising, and getting nuclear
war curricula on campus.
Participants will also receive
additional infomiatiun un Uic
skills taught in the form of a
training packet.
The cost of participating in the
events is $10. Housing will be
arranged by the national office
for a nominal fee. The
registration fee includes a one
year membership to UCAM and a
subscription to the monthly
Network News.
For further information,
contact UCAM at (202) 543-1505,

New York Dancer Stepping Out
On Campus
Cindy Reynolds, principal
dancer with the Erick Hawldns
Dance Company in New York
City, will conduct three days of
classes and give a performance
at Longwood College on Monday
through Thursday, March 30 —
April 2.
The special classes are open to
Longwood students, area
residents, and students from
other colleges. Space is limited in
the classes and for the
performance, however, so those
who would like to participate are
asked to contact Dr. Nelson Neal,
director of Longwood's dance
program, telephone 392-9266.
The class sessions and the
performance will be held in the
Dance Studio in Lancer Hall.
The class schedule on Monday
and Wednesday is: Beginning
Modem Dance, 11 — 11:50 a.m.
and 1:30 — 2:45 p.m.; and
Advanced Modem Dance, 3:30 —
5 p.m. Tuesday's schedule is:
Beginning Modem Dance, 9:25 —
10:40 a.m.; and Advanced
Modem Dance, 3:30 — 5 p.m.
Ms. Reynolds' performance is
scheduled for Thursday, April 2,
at 7 : 30 p.m. Seating in the Dance
Studio will be on a first come,
first served basis. Isaiah
Johnson, pianist from the
University of Maryland, will
accompany Ms. Reynolds and
also will play several solos as
part of the concert.
Erick Hawkins, one of the best
known contemporary
choreographers, has developed a
quality of dance movement
known as "free flow" that is
based on natural human
movement. The technique is
quite different from that of ballet
and other styles of modem dance.
Hawkins and his company
performed at Longwood in 1981 as
part of the Series of the
Performing Arts.
Ms. Reynolds' visit to
Longwood is sponsored by the
Longwood Arts Council, the
Department of Physical
Education, Health and
Recreation, and the Longwood
Company of Dancers.

Sun It Up!
ByTERRESA
Spring Break ended and all
those lucky ones who got to go to
Florida where the sun was
shining, while it snowed here,
came back with those fantastic
tans. How the ones who couldn't
go envied them. Then they
thought, "well it'll fade then
they'll be as white as me and get
wrinkles sooner. Right? Wrong.
These tanned Ixxlied people keep
getting darker and darker. How
do they do it? The answer is the
tanning salon. For a siun of
money anyone can go and get an
imitation tan. Many people went
before the break to get a base tan,
so once In Florida they wouldn't
come back looking like a lobster.
In Farmville we have two sun
L. BUELOW
places. Sun Touch and Forever
Tan. Right now at Siui Touch you
can get a hundred minutes for $15
plus your first time is free.
To start off, one usually is only
allowed 10-15 minutes in a bed.
On the next day you may stay 5
more minutes extra. Skip a day,
and then stay in from 20-25
minutes. Most tanning salons will
not allow you to stay in for more
than thirty minutes at the most.
You may become a little pink
the first day, but it takes at least
6-7 visits to get a semi-dark tan.
The next time you see someone
with a great tan, ask them where
they've been. They more than
likely will say, "The tanning
salon."

By CATHY GAUGHRAN
Like a large number of you did
last Saturday night, I went to see
the Miss Longwood Beauty
Pageant. I was impressed by the
size of the crowd gathered for the
occasion: I got to Jarman at 7: 45,
and ended up sitting in the back
row of the balcony. I figured,
"Hmm! Just might be worth the
money I paid for the ticket if this
many people showed up!" Was I
misled? I don't know — first of
all, I couldn't see the contestants
through the glare of the sequins
on the majority of their outfits.
And maybe, just maybe, the
acoustics are really bad that high
up. Perhaps not.
The theme song of the evening
was "Catch a Wave." I kind of
wish some of the contestants had
caught a wave — preferably a
monsoon wave headed for the
Japanese coastline at breakneck
speeds . . .
Actually, I shouldn't criticize;
after all, I'm no beauty queen and
I've never tried to be one. Aside
from my face and my body in
general being big strikes against
me, I know I don't have the talent
it takes to be in a pageant.
Everybody in those things per-
forms to faggy inspirational
songs; the lyrical equivalences of
"I Can Fly, I Can Fly, I Can Fly"
from the Peter Pan score. I could
PAGEANT REVIEWED
never bring myself to stoop so
low. If I were ever in a pageant, I
think I'd probably like to play
"Killing Floor" a la Jimi Hen-
drix. Presently I cannot play
electric guitar, but from what
I've seen that won't pose a
problem.
I have a friend who would love
to be in a pageant, but the only
true talent she has is an awesome
ambidextrous ability to crochet.
That, aside from her years of
practice at verb conjugation in
three different languages, is the
only gift she has to offer the world
— alas and alack!
While contestants stuffed and
unstuffed themselves from one
piece of attire to another, the
audience was entertained by two
ex-beauty queens who took full
advantage of the opportunity to
wear 3 or 4 of their old gowns, and
a host of child prodigy acts.
Phyllis Mable even helped fill a
time gap by "catching a wave"
and stage-surfing for us — where
was Janet Greenwood? Let's just
assume that Phyllis is a better
surfer than Jan, and Ms.
Greenwood didn't want to be put
to shame by Ms. Mable's
awesome abilities.

Pago 8 THE ROTUNDA
By CINDY PRESSON
Picture a typical dressing room
with bright lights, mirrors, and
dresses and costumes hanging in
every available spot. This was
backstage at the Miss Longwood
Pageant. Each of the 10 girls had
her own stool in front of the
mirrors, her own array of
cosmetics, accessories, and other
various beauty items placed in
front of her. Now picture 10 more
girls each hovering over a
contestant trying to be helpful.
Now you've got the real picture.
Every socket was plugged with
hot rollers, a curling iron, or a
fan. E)very space in that little
room was being utilized. Now I
expect that you think I'm going to
say you could cut the tension with
a knife — not true! For the most
part, the girls were joking around
and cheering each other on. They
borrowed each others make-up,
lent a hand where it was needed
and gave words of
encouragement to each other.
It's amazing that most of them
were not friends before they
began that long 3 months from
preliminaries to the Pageant.
They held hands, hugged,
gossiped, and joked just like old
friends. There was competition
there, but it was friendly
competition with none of the
back-stabbing, snide, pettiness
one would imagine.
Even after the pageant was
over and some had lost and some
had won, they were still friends.
The girls congratulated each
other, encouraged one another to
do more pageants and promised
to get together. As a matter of
fact, the contestants plan to go
out and treat themselves to all-
you-can-eat spaghetti sometime
in the near future. Whether or not
they do get together, the
contestants of the 1987 Miss
Longwood Pageant are friends.

Men's
Golf
Forbe8 Natned To Kodak Women's Team
Longwood senior Caren Forbes
is one of six players named to the
Kodak-Women's Basketball
Coaches Association All-District
III team for NCAA Division 11
women's basketball.
Joining Forbes on the All-
District team are sophomore
Jackie Dolberry from Hampton
University, senior Pam Wells
from St. Augustine's, senior
Dimple White from Fayeteville
State, senior Karen Eye from
Randolph-Macon and freshman
Kammy Brown from Virginia
State.
Forbes, Longwood's career
scoring and assist leader, is the
first Lady Lancer eager to be
named to the Kodak-WBCA All-
District team since Valerie
Turner was picked in 1984.
A co-captain at Longwood,
Forbes accumulated 1,480
points and 532 assists in four
seasons. She also set records for
field goals (667), field goal at-
tempts (1614), most assists in a
season (161) and a game (13).
She had earlier been named
second team All-Mason-Dixon
Conference for the second year in
a row, after averaging 16 points
and six assists for the Lady
Lancers.
The Kodak-WBCA All-District
III team was voted by WBCA
member coaches in District III.
Longwood's gymnastics team
logged its best regional finish
since 1980 Saturday night at the
United States Gymnastics
Federation Division II Southeast
Regional Meet at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania.
While host lUP won the
regional crown with a 175.80,
Longwood beat out four other
teams for second place with a
163.75. West Chester (162.90) was
third, Trenton State (161.85)
fourth. Navy (157.80) fifth and
East Stroudsburg (155.65) sixth.
Leading Longwood at regionals
were Lynda Chenoweth, Kiersten
Artese and Debbe 'Malin
Chenoweth placed third on beam
with an 8.65 and registered the
ninth best all-around score in the
meet — 33.5.
Volleyball On Its Way Out
By KRIS MEYER
Longwood (Allege may have
seen its last women's
intercollegiate volleyball match
for a while. On Thursday, March
5th, the Intercollegiate Athletic
Council recommended to the
college president that
Longwood's volleyball program
be deleted. Council member and
athletic director Dr. Hodges said
that after evaluatiog the whole
program, it "did not seem
feasible" to put more money into
the volleyball program. All that
is required now to terminate the
team is the approval of the,
President.
Another problem created in
volleyball was the resignation of
Coach Elliott. Dr. Hodges
commented, "We were very
fortunate to have had Linda
Elliott as a part time coach. It
would be difficult to find a part
time coach that would have the
expertise that we need."
Coach Elliott worked with the
Longwood Volleyball Team for
two years. She resigned in
January, 1987, because she said,
"I didn't feel I was getting the
commitment 1 needed to achieve
excellence in volleyball." Shel
fought to keep volleyball at
Longwood but it appears as if she
did not win.
The volleyball team was
officially notified of the probable
cancellation on March 18th. For
some members, the news
confirmed rumors, while for
•thers, the news was a complete
Aock. In either case, the players
were not pleased. Setter Staci
Daion commented that, "I'm
really disappointed because
they're Just getting a group of
devoted people." Others went
past sadness to anger. Sarita
Ttaurman, a leftside hitter,
revealed. "I was very mad.
Volleyball is a fun sport; it was
real competition."
Many of these young women
feel that they have been treated
badly. As Ms. Dillon stated, "I
don't think they've treated us
with the respect we deserve."
The team's members are upset
because as a group, they had
improved drastically this year.
They had the best season in
roughly seven years. Half of the
team and half of the starters
were freshmen. Several of these
freshman had high standings on
their high school teams,
including a few Most Valuable
Players. Considering these facts,
it is no surprise that the team had
a hopeful future.
Now, if the members want to
continue in intercollegiate
volleyball, they must transfer.
For the juniors, it is too late for
that. The younger members can
transfer, but with a loss of
friends, faculty relationships,
and even credits. Because of the
late notice, many of the schools
with good teams have already
given out their scholarships and
many application deadlines have
passed. But the significance of
cancelling volleyball seems to go
beyond the bad treatment of the
players.
"We're supposed to have such a
great physical education
department, and now they've cut
one of our most enjoyed,
competitive sports," Ms.
Thurman added. Volleyball is
increasing in popularity, but
most people do not realize the
extent of tis growth. As the
fastest growing and second most
popular participation sport in
America, 24 million Americans
play volleyball. World-wide,
volleyball is played in more
countries than any other ^wrt.
Evidence of new trends oftai
appear in the business world.
Volleyball is now big business.
Sporting Good, a group of
sporting goods manufacturers,!
indicates that volleyball in the
'80's is where golf and tennis
were in the '70's. Furthermore,
Volleyball Magazine had an 80
percent subscription increase
this last year. They are
projecting at least that much of
an increase next year.
Not only are businesses
concentrating on volleyball, but
so too are high schools.
The third most popular sport
for girls in high school is
volleyball, topped only by
basketball and track and field.
73.5 percent of high schools had
volleyball teams in 1984. It has
been growing since then. These
facts indicate that many girls
involved in volleyball will be
looking to continue playing in
college. It is clear that Longwood
will not be able to offer these girls
what they are looking for. Many
colleges recognize the increasing
need for strong volleyball
programs.
One college ready to adapt to
change is Stanford University. It
was a four time national
champion in field hockey, and
discontinued its field hockey
program. They let their
volleyball team grow. Soon, 4000
people were attending volleyball
matches, and sell outs were a
common occurrence.
Coach Elliott presented the
previous volleyball facts to the
lAC, but they still recommend
volleyball cancellation. Elliott
asked them, "Do (you) take the
leadership or do (you) follow?"
Dr. Hodges answered that
question by saying that she is
"not happy about the decision,"
but it had to be done. There is no
money in the budget for
volleyball.
Artese had a 33.3 all-around for
10th place and led Longwood in
vaulting (8.85 — tie for 9th) and
floor (8.45 — 16th). Malin, 11th
all-around with a 33.1, led the
Lancers on bars with an 8.35 for
7th place. Kerri Hruby had an
8.75 in vaulting for 10th place.
Hruby received some unfair
judging in both bars and floor,
which prevented her from
scoring higher, according to
Longwood coach Ruth Budd.
"We did well," said Budd. "We
were hoping to take second place,
particularly after we had been
seeded third by a narrow margin.
Bars and beam were probably
our two best events, despite the
fact that we were inconsistent in
those two areas during the
season."
Longwood last finished as high
as second in a regional meet in
1980 when the Lancers placed
second in the AIAW Regional
behind William & Mary. Two LC
gymnasts, Sharon Pillow and
Kathy Idelson, qualified for
nationals that year.
Budd was skeptical of
Longwood's chances of
qualifying for Division II
Nationals this year, despite the
second place finish.
"I'm not sure our scores were
high enough to be considered,"
said Budd.
Division II Longwood will be
an underdog to Division I's
William & Mary, Radford and
James Madison in the Virginia
State Meet at Radford Saturday
afternoon. Action begins at 2:00.
The Lancers were second in last
year's State Meet which was held
in Farmville.
MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL
STARTS
APRIL
6th
After three sub-par per-
formances, Ty Bordner and the
Longwood men's golf team began
to live up to their pre-season
billing last week.
Sparked by Bordner's medalist
76, Longwood beat Radford, VMI
and Washington & Lee in a four-
team match in Lexington,
Friday. The Lancers, however,
have no time to rest on their
laurels. Next up is the
Southeastern Collegiate Tour-
nament in Valdosta, Georgia
Sunday through Tuesday.
The Southeastern tourney will
feature the top Division II golf
teams in the south. If the Lancers
hope to qualify for the NCAA
Division II Golf Tournament they
must play well in Valdosta.
(3oach Steve Nelson is hopeful his
team has begun moving in the
right direction.
"We practiced hard last week,
and I think it paid off Friday, at
Lexington Country CHub," said
Nelson. "We have something to
shoot for with the Southeastern
Tournament coming up."
Bordner shot a 76 to lead three
Lancer golfers in the 70's Friday.
Longwood's 314 bested Radford
(320), VMI (322) and Washington
& Lee (334). Tony Good carded a
78 to finish second in the medalist
chase while Richard Hardy
added a 79.
Mark Marshall shot 81, Andrew
Hudson 82, and Kevin Haskins 84.
Ron Hatch, playing as an in-
dividual, carded an 81.
Longwood finished a disap-
Dointintj 17th out of 24 teams in
the Elon College Invitational last
Monday and Tuesday at
Alamance Country Club in
Burlington, North Carolina.
While Guilford won the tour-
nament with a 296-301-597, the
Uncers carded a 338-328^66.
Longwood scores included:
Marshall 85-80-165, Hardy 86-80-
166, Bordner 83-65-168, Hobson 84-
86-170 and Hatch 90^-173.

Player Of The Week
Senior third baseman Jeff
Rohm (North Garden) reversed a
recent downward trend in his
batting average in a big way last
After driving in 11 runs in two
games for the Lancer baseball
team, Rohm has been named
Longwood College Player of the
Week for the period March 22-29.
Player of the Week is chosen by
the Longwood sports information
office.
Longwood's top hitter with a
.435 average heading into Sun-
day's games at North Carolina A
& T, Rohm ripped a double and a
homer and drove in four runs in a
16-6 loss at Virginia Tech
Thursday. Sunday in Greensboro,
North Carolina, the Western
Albemarle High graduate went 4-
5 with a record-tying seven RBI's
as the Lancers rolled to a 224
victory in five innings.
Rohm tied the school mark for
RBI's in a game which he set last
year with seven against Coppin
State. The tri-captain has been a
key factor in Longwood's 15-5
start. He has been named Player
of the Week twice.
Intramural Update
THE ROTUNDA Pog* 11
Baseball Team Bk^eaks Losing Streak
stung by four straight losses,
Longwood's baseball team
bounced back Sunday in
resounding fashion, sweeping a
twinbill at North Carolina A&T,
22-4 and 8^. Both games were
five inning affairs.
The 15-5 Lancers have eight
games scheduled this week. After
visiting Liberty Wednesday and
hosting Hampden-Sydney
Thursday at 3:00. LC has twin-
bills at Coppin State Friday, at
home against Shaw Saturday and
at Christopher-Newport Sunday.
The CNC doubleheader was
rained out last Saturday.
After falling to VCU 11-4
Tuesday, Bridgewater 9-5
Wednesday, and Virginia Tech
16-6 Thursday, Longwood got
back on the winning track Sunday
in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Senior third baseman Jeff
Rohm (North Garden) led a 15-hit
a.s.sault in the opener with four
hits in five trips to the plate and a
record-tying seven RBI. Rohm
tied the record for RBI in a game
he set last year against Coppin
Stete.
Second baseman Pete
Criscione (Dunkirk, NY) went 5-6
with five RBI for the two games,
while Greylin Rice (Hurt) had a
homer and three RBI in the
opener. Steve Gedro (West Point)
moved his record to 4-0 after
picking up the win in game
number one. Gedro relieved
starter Tony Beverley
(Lexington) in the third inning.
Longwood erupted for 12 runs in
the fourth and eight more in the
fifth to put an end to the opening
contest.
Senior Tony Browning
(Charlottesville) recorded the
shutout in the nightcap, tossing a
two-hitter. He struck out eight
and walked one in five innings.
Criscione's three RBI's and one
from Robert Smith (Orange)
gave Browning 4-3, all the
support he needed.
Tech Clouts
Four Homers
Rohm went 24 with a double, a
homer, and drove in four runs in
Thuisday's loss at Virginia Tech.
The Lancers also got a pair of hits
from outfielder Eric Killinger
(Falmouth), but were unable to
overcome four Hokie homers.
Freshman pitcher Franklin
Watson (Chase City) was saddled
with the loss. The lefthander held
VPI at bay in the early innings
before running into trouble. He
was touched for 10 runs and eight
hits in six innings.
Virginia Commonwealth and
Bridgewater shot down Long-
wood Tuesday and Wednesday as
the Lancers absorbed 114 and 9-5
defeats on their home field.
Longwood forged early leads in
both games but was unable to
hold on. The Lancers were
ineffective on the mound and
made nine errors in the two
games.
Tuesday, Beverley blanked
VCU over the first four innings
while Longwood assumed a 2-0
lead. Watson drove in the runs
with a single and an infield out.
The Rams, 11-10, broke through
for four runs in the fifth on four
hits. After Longwood scored once
in the bottom of the inning, WCU
came back with four more runs in
the sixth. Two scored on bases-
loaded walks by reliever Rob
Furth (W. Denville, NJ).
For the game both teams had
10 hits, but the Lancers were able
to bunch no more than two in a
single inning. Watson, Criscione,
Jeff Mayone (Denville Township,
NJ), Furth and Smith had two
hits each for Longwood. Only one,
however, a double by Criscione,
went for extra bases.
Longwood's usually reliable
offensive attack had a breakdown
Wednesday as the Lancers
managed just one hit against
three Bridgewater pitchers and
squandered a 5-0 lead.
Benefitting from nine walks
issued by Eagle starter Jim
Estep, Longwood scored three
runs in the first and two in the
third for the early lead. Shoddy
base-running in both innings
figured in a pair of double plays,
preventing the Lancers from
scoring more runs. A pair of
walks, an infield out and a single
by furth enabled LC to add two
runs in the third.
The Eagles, who were ranked
30th in a pre-season Division III
poll, pounded eight hits and
scored six runs over the final
three innings to take the win.

To the Editor
IJke Cindy Presson, I'm a
Senior who has been through
advising roulette. I was in the
freshman class that waited six
hours to register (Fall '83). That.
of course, was after I had to wait
in line to see my advisor. My
advisor wasn't in my
concentration, but who cares.
Take this class, take that class-
it's all for General Education.
"Oh nooo— not Miss Ethridge for
hi.story— you're gonna die."
you're gonna die."
You were lucky that year if you
could find a business professor
who knew the new catalog
numbers and knew what classes
substituted for others. In the
process, my advisor changed to
Dr. Minks. He, like many other
advisors, will not see you unless
you have a good idea of what you
have to take. That is a little hard
when the catalog you come in on
says one thing and your advisor
says another.
To complicate my situation
further, I decided to change my
major to English. The English
department was sympathetic to
my problem. Dr. Stuart, the head
of the department, took me on as
an advisee and let me know what
1 still needed to take. I knew this
was too good to be true. The next
semester my advisor was
changed to Mr. Douglas. At this
point, I knew what was left to
take. Mr. Douglas would sign my
registration forms and I would
write in the classes to take. Self-
advising, no problem.
They say there's a problem
with retention at Longwood. I
wonder why? Many faculty have
close to 60 people to advise. Can
you really get quality out of that
deal? Does a professor who has
been here only a semster or two
really know how to advise?
Maybe when the administration
gets a clue, more people will stay
at Ix)ngwood. The current system
is enough to make anyone flee for
safety. Thank God I'm
graduating',.
-Mama Hunger, Self Advisor
To the Editor
I'm writing this to express
some opinions that I could not
state elsewhere. In the article I
wrote about the cancellation of
volleyball, I had to write the
facts, and give no opinions. But I
want to tell my views on the
subject. There are many
questions that remain
unanswered. If the council thinks
they're just affecting ten young
women attending Longwood and
roughly a dozen would-be
recruits, they're seriously
mistaken. Coach Elliott
presented many facts that prove
the growth and strength of
volleyball now and in the future.
Why did the board members
simply ignore the facts? Do they
have no foresight?
Field hockey and other such
traditional sports are dying all
over the country. Whether it is
good or bad, change happens. If
liOngwood is going to cling to
their useless tradition, they will
be stuck in the past and, even
more importantly, left behind by
the fast-moving, active world. It
is detrimental to Longwood itself
to stubbornly ignore change.
Sarita Thurman said it the best
when she remarked, "I think
they're making a big mistake."
Longwood had the chance to
become a leader in Eastern
power volleyball. They had a
coach with excellent experience
and talent. But they ignored the
possibilities. Why?
It's interesting that a major
reason for discontinuing
volleyball is that there is no
coach available like Coach
Elliott. But the reason she quit is
because Longwood refused to
make a commitment to
volleyball. So they caused the
lack of a coach, and turned
around and used that as an
excuse to cancel volleyball. It
makes no sense. This situation
makes me wonder what other
blunders in reasoning go on
behind closed council doors all
over campus. It is unfortunate
that Longwood doesn't realize the
opportunity they've missed with
Coach Elliott and interested
players.
If, in future years, the council
realizes its mistake and finally
changes, they will have
significant catching up to do. I
suggest serious consideration to
the real effects of a cancellation
of such program to the future of
Longwood.
Kris Meyer
If history repeats itself and it
usually does, Longwood's
freshmen, soon to be sophomore
class, will soon come to know the
pains and sorrows of room
registration.
Lee Ford
Editor Position Open
To The Editor:
Only a few more weeks until
room sign up begins. Lottery
numbers will be chosen and
depending on your luck and class
ranking, you'll try to get the room
you want in the dorm you want.
But you had better be careful
because this is the time of the
year when the infamous Housing
Director seems to be out to make
everyone's registration as
painful a process as humanly
possible.
Having transferred from
another school and visited many
others, I can say that Longwood
is unique if for no other reason
than for the trouble this one
person seems to cause. Of course,
the position of housing officer by
its very existance is prone to
come under criticism and
scrutiny. I^et's face it, no one can
please everybody all of the time.
However, our current director
seems to ammassed quite a cult
following of disapprovers. He is
almost a household name with
most upper class students, who
have either had past dealings
with the director or have had
friends who have for one reason
or another been "skrewed over,"
The position of Rotunda Editor
is open for 1987-88. This is a grand
opportunity for a Longwood
student. If you are interested,
then please get an application
from the Information Office.
A. Applicant must be a full-time
undergraduate student at
Longwood College, i.e., be
enrolled in the equivalent of no
less than 12 semester hours at the
time of application and during
term of appointment.
B. Shall be a student in good
standing, i.e., not be on academic
or disciplinary probation.
C. Shall have posted no less
than a 2.5 grade point average in
the semester immediately
preceeding selection to the
position of editor, and shall have
no less than a 2.5 cumulative
grade point average.
D. Shall not have an elective or
appointive position in student
government during tenure as
editor.
Applications are due in Vice
President's Office on Tuesday,

Petitions To Circulate
Beer, Chili And
Roek-And-RoU!
ByMATTPETERMAN
and LEE FORD
Do you want partying to
disappear from Longwood
College? According to the most
recent poll, if you are with the
majority of Longwood students
you surely don't. KEEP
LONGWOOD COLLEGE WET
(KLCW) is a newly formed
student organization to keep
Longwood College from going
dry. This group recognizes that
generations have enjoyed. It
wishes to stop this domino effect
which is increasingly appearing
to be a trend of the 80's and the
nation's march towards con-
servatism. "They want to
preserve a wet campus because
sooner or later the trend will
reverse," commented Bob
Woods, a Longwood student.
A panel discussion on the pros
and cons of Colleges having a dry
campus will take place tonight at
KEEP LONGWOOD
COLLEGE WET
the absense of alcohol at mixers,
fraternity parties, the cafe, or
anywhere on campus will destroy
the already ailing social life at
Longwood College.
"Longwood is yet another
College trapped in a domino
effect which is sweeping the state
of Virginia trying to make all
campuses dry," said Steve
Evans, a member of KLCW.
KLCW is fighting for all students
who will eventually come of age
while attending Longwood and
who wish to drink if they want to.
Taking this away from those 21,
who are basically Juniors and
Seniors, will be depriving them of
a major social situation that past
7:30 p.m. in Lancer Hall, room
207-208. The panel consists of Sue
Saunders, Dean of Students; Joe
McGill, Director of Student
Services; and Ricky Otey,
President, SGA. This is your
chance to air your views on a
policy that one student called: "A
policy that will ruin a tradition
that has existed for many
decades." All questions will be
addressed and all concerned are
asked to attend. Those unable to
attend are asked to sign the
petition that will circulate.
KLCW will be circulating a
petition April 13 and April 14
throughout campus dorms
soliciting your support. The
petition will be presented to the
Board of Directors and Longwood
College President Janet
Greenwood upon completion. A
minimum goal of 2000 signatures
is hoped for in order for a strong
case.
Should the campus go dry
against the wishes of Longwood
students, what will life be like at
Longwood: 1) Long walks to
local bars every time you desire
to party, 2) No parties on
campus, 3) Long drives to HSC,
4) No drinking at the cafe,
5) More people leaving on the
weekends, and 6) Basically, not
much Longwood.
This petition will give SGA
President, Ricky Otey, a clear
mandate to argue for a wet
campus should the votes become
reality, thereby representing the
student body for which he serves.
Any questions or comments
should be sent through campus
mail to Box 826, or contact one of
the following officers of KLCW:
Chairman, Lee Ford; President,
Matt Peterman; Vice President,
Keith Darrah; Treasurer, Tim
Oliva; Secretary, Jason Craft.

YAY! Spring Weekend '87 is
quickly approaching. If the area
is spared any and all forms of
precipitation from the 10th to the
12th,. a good time will be had by
all.
The fun will get an early kick-
off with this year's newest Spring
Weedend attraction, Oozeball,
sponsored by the LC
Ambassadors. Preliminary
matches will begin on Lankford
Mall at 3 p.m. on Friday af-
ternoon.
If you have too good a time
Friday night, you'll be awakened
(probably quite rudely, depen-
ding on just how hard you party)
at 10 a.m. on Saturday by the
sounds of one of Longwood's best
amateur DJ's supplying pre-
festivity tunes for everybody
stirring their chili pots along
Stubbs Mall in preparation for
the Chili Cook-Off. The cook-off
starts at noon and will be judged
by 10 students, with winners
announced at 1 p.m.
The Chili Cook-Off is brunch-
lunch for the day; for a new twist,
one that will not be found in your
local ARA dining hall anytime
soon, you can wash your meal
down with a nice cold beer in the
Beer Garden, open from noon to 4
p.m. (and open again at 8 p.m.).
You can enjoy this meal to the
Top40-Dance tunes of Main-
stream, who will be performing
on lankford Mall from 12 to 4
p.m.
Eat quick so you can watch the
continuation of the Oozeball
preliminaries, which start up at
1:30. (If the weather's crunruny,
this might be the only event of the
weekend to go off without a hitch
— while chili gets soggy in the
rain, and most people have an
awfully hard time holding an
umbrella while playing guitar,
mud just gets gooshier on in-
clement days...)
There will be a short pause in
the fun to allow us to eat dinner
back at Blackwell's Saturday
night, but things will pick up
again at 8 p.m. with the Waxing
Poetics, who will be cranking out
progressive rock ditties for us on
Lankford Mall late into the
evening.
Sunday will be a day of
OOOZEBALL Finals, "dining on
the mall", and recovering from
the previous day's fun.
Make plans to stick around for
what looks to be a really fun
weekend!

Page 2 THE ROTUNDA
This is the last issue of the Rotunda for this semester. The
newspaper staff would like to wish everyone a very successful
semester and good luck on exams. We hope that Longwood's ad-
ministration, faculty, students and organizations will continue to
support the paper. We look forward to putting out the paper next
semester.

Note: I personally would like to thank my wonderful staff for
making a great paper this semester! Thanks Cathey, Matt, Dave,
Danny and your staff, John, Mama, Melissa, Bill Woods, Bill Moore,

will be there to support you all the way!

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor,
April tends to bring in warm
temps, sun, and new life. For
students at Longwood College,
April brings registration and
loom draw — their favorite time
of year. We all know about
registration, so that is not our
topic of discussion. Room draw,
on the other hand, is an entirely
different matter.
We decided, in this article, to
point out a few things about
housing. We firmly believe the
motto for this year's room
selection was "make the most
people as miserable as possible."
Favoritism was displayed during
the selection process by the
housing department. For
example, one of the fiercest
competitions for rooms was in
French dormitory. No matter
To the editor:
As a member of the student
body here at Longwood College, I
feel it to be imperative that
"Congratulations" be extended
to Alpha Phi Omega National
Service Fraternity for their
production of "Fdculty Follies"
this year. I think that I can speak
for just about everyone who
attended this event in saying that
a good time was had by all!
One of the things that I missed
the most when coming to
Longwood was the school spirit at
my high school. Ever sinfte I've
been here, I've thought that
school spirit was something of the
what lies students tell ad-
ministrators, the real reason to
get into French is the fact that
those rooms are the nicest and
the largest on campus.
People who live in the Colon-
nades know it's a way of life, not
just another dorm. We tend to be
a lot closer, as a group, than
many other dorms and we cer-
tainly don't like outsiders in-
vading our home. Well, an in-
vasion has taken place and we
are not happy! It's not so much
the people that invaded that is the
problem, but how the invasion
took place and the administrative
decisions that went along with it.
On Wednesday, April 1, people
who wanted to stay in the
Colonnades went to the in-
formational meeting to find out
that the entire 3rd floor French
past. Last week's "Faculty
Follies" changed my thoughts on
this subject. Never at Longwood
have I seen and experienced the
spirit that was so abundant
throughout this show. The
audience participation was
great!
I think Chi would have been
proud of you! I would also like to
congratulate those faculty
members that participated in this
event. I think it says a lot about
how much they care about their
students and about Longwood in
general. Finally, a lot of students
saw another side of the faculty
and administration. We saw a
was "saved" upperclass women,
2nd floor French was "special
interest" social awareness up-
perclassmen, 3rd floor Tabb was
"saved" upperclass women,
South Tabb was Business special
interest and the rest went to
freshmen. Everyone was very
happy! Well, it turns out that the
information we received must
have been Rick Weibl's April
Fool's joke. Sometime after (or
l)efore) that meeting it had been
decided that another Special
Interest Group would get parts of
2nd and 3rd Floor French.
Did anyone ask how the
residents of these floors felt? No.
Did anyone notify us? No. Well,
we were notified by a few
members of the SAFE Special
Interest Group. A member of 3rd
floor French received a phone
humanistic side of them that we
sometimes forget exists. Yes,
they do have a sense of humor!
Again, I would like to
congratulate everyone involved
in this event. From the "heat"
brought on by those sexy
"Pointless Sisters" to the
touching moment brought on by
"Talking Hands", the show was a
success in every respect. (I
believe all proceeds went to the
American Diabetes Association).
Keep up the good work APO!
Looking forward to seeing it
again next year!
A very impressed student

call which said, "you may have
your floor, but we have your
room." The SAFE Special
Interest Group was not split up
between two floors. The SAFE
Special Interest Group (APO)
was offered 3rd floor North
Cunningham. The current
residents of that floor went and
found other places to live. Well
the SAFE Special Interest Group
(APO) turned down 3rd floor
North Cunningham, so con-
sequently the administration
turned it into a coed Freshmen
floor, and stuck the "Group" into
French.
We doubt that the ad-
ministration had planned to
mention it to the residents of 2nd
and 3rd floor French until it was
too late. Some of the future
residents of those two floors went
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
"concerned upperclassman" who
was so concerned that she ( I say
'she' because I'm sure the author
is a female) did not sign her
name.
First of all I would like to point
out that the Miss Longwood
Pageant is a beauty pageant as
well as a talent pageant, a
scholarship pageant, and an
intellect pageant. What it is not is
a contest to see who can motivate
the best in 4-inch heels.
Next, I would like to state my
opinion of the upperclassman's
comments. They were not con-
structive criticisms, but instead
nothing less than cruel slander;
untrue, uncalled for, and in ex-
tremely bad taste.
Is the authoress of the
tlr MArr ■■■CIPJIMAN nml JASON niAFI
to see Sue Saunders, the Dean of
Students, and she explained that
they (the administration) were
trying to accommodate the
majority. Disrupting the lines of
people on three halls to ac-
commodate one group is not, in
our opinion, right. We were told
that it was too late to change the
decision, which it seemed to us
had been changed literally
overnight. We hope that this does
not happen to any more residents
on campus.
We had to compromise, and the
administration may think that
everyone is happy and some
people may be; many of us are
not.

fraudulent sarcasm aware of the
fact that the Miss Longwood
Pageant involves a personal
interview with the judges, which
is second in importance only to
the talent competition (which is
50 percent of the total scoring)?
Also, does she know that the
pageant is judged by official Miss
America judges, who are totally
unbiased and are experienced
enough to know what they are
doing?
I think not.
Finally, if this upperclassman
has ever seen a guy walking
around in his girlfriends high heel
shoes, I wish she'd give me his
address; its a sight I'd like to see.

To the Editor:
I would like to express my
concern towards the letter about
the incident on January 24, 1987,
in which a student, Tim Tabler,
was cutting some bread at the
bread bar and sliced his thumb
open with the knife. I was there at
the time of the accident. I was
sitting at the same table as Tim
and his other friends, whom I
know as well. And Tim told me
the next day "the doctor asked
me if I thought I needed a stich,
and I told him that he was the
doctor so he gave me one stitch."
Even though his finger was
bleeding, it was not a life or death
situation. Everyone knows that if
you hold your finger down the
bleeding will not stop eve'i with
pressure, in which he was doing.
In relation to the campus
police, I work for them and know
there is a phone outside of their
office with a number to contact
the sheriffs office one word down
town. Then they call campus
police, and the sheriffs office
does answer the phone or you can
call the information office, in
which they can contact campus
police by radio. I work with
campus police and know for a
fact they have a back up
available. They are even im-
proving their situation by getting
a new system in which the
campus police officers can an-
swer the phone from the cars.

Businessman Visits Longwood
As Wilson Fellow
Peter J. Elliman, a
businessman and former General
Motors executive, visited
Ix)ngwood College as a Woodrow
Wilson Fellow recently.
Elliman, who lives in Green-
ville, S.C, is vice president and
general manager of Lucas CAV
in the United States and Brazil.
Lucas CAV, a division of Lucas
Industries Inc., makes fuel-
injection equipment.
He also owns a chain of 24
sporting-goods stores in North
Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia.
"I like business," said Elliman,
who was on campus March 22-26.
"I do it for more than just the
money. Business and marketing
are my hobby. I like a
challenge."
Elliman, a 48-year-old native of
London, spoke to several
business classes, to a govern-
ment class and to members of
Delta Sigma Pi business
fraternity. The Wilson Fellows
program brings experts from
various fields onto college
campuses for short visits,
enabling them to interact in-
formally with students and
faculty.
"I've been telling the students
that there's a lot of opportunity,
but it isn't going to be handed to
them. The competition is very,
very fierce. Unfortunately, a lot
of students don't think about what
they're going to do after they
graduate."
Elliman started work for
General Motors as an apprentice
at the age of 16 in England. While
working at GM plants for the next
five years, he earned a bachelors
degree in mechanical
engineering at the University of
London.
He was awarded a GM Over-
seas Scholarship in 1959 and
worked at GM plants m the
United States for two years. He
also earned a bachelors degree in
industrial engineering at the
General Motors Institute, a co-
operative program in which
students are hired by GM and
other auto makers as soon as they
start the program.
Elliman, who has lived in the
U.S. permanently since 1964, held
several senior positions in the
Pontiac Motor Division before
becoming director of industrial
engineering.
After leaving GM, he was
general manager of a stamping
company that supplies parts to
the auto industry, and late was
manager of industrial consulting
for Ernst & Ernst, a public ac-
counting firm. From 1974 to 1978,
PETER ELLIMAN
plants in several other countries.
"The highest quality GM cars are
produced in Brazil. The workers
there do what they're told."
He has worked for Lucas CAV
since 1978. Lucas Industries,
he had an interesting job on the which began in England in the
side — business adviser to the mid-19th century, now owns
Navaho Indian Nation. about 380 companies around the
"The Navahos are in four world. It is the largest aerospace
states and they had $180 million contractor in Europe and ac-
in the bank, primarily from oil counts for one-third of the world's
and gas. They wanted to buy fuel-injection market,
companies and do business in Elliman, who has a masters in
Detroit, so they were looking for business administration from
someone with business expertise.
They're very suspicious of out-
siders. Along with my wife and
kids, I once lived on a Navaho
reservation for Window Rock,
Arizona, for several weeks."
Elliman has worked at GM
plants in the U.S., England and
West Germany, and has observed

Faculty Follies:
Full Of Fun
By KEVIN HUNT
Janet Greenwood and Phyllis
Mable stole the show, so to speak,
at the Faculty Follies Monday,
March 30 at Jarman auditorium.
Jerris Hill as Dr. Greenwood
and Robin Yarbrough as Phyllis
Mable set the stage for a night of
great entertainment with their
wild antics.
Other highlights of the Alpha
Phi Omega sponsored Faculty
Follies included Brenda
Ferguson, Paula Clay, and
Barbara Stonikinis at the
"Pointless Sisters," lip synching
Janet Jackson.
Opening the show were the
"Monkees" featuring Gwen
Walker, Page Pence, Anne
Bowman, and Alison Angle. The
"Bosses" featured Dr. McWee as
Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Orth, Dr.
McCoombs, Dr. Jim Cross, and
Don Stuart.
The most wild performance
goes to Kevin Spencer, Tim
Sheridan, and Chris Andrews as
the "Beastie Boys." Bedlam
broke out as they performed
"Fight For Your Right to Party."
The most touching
performance was by Joe McGill,
Sharon Austin, and Pam Carson
as they did "Somewhere out
There" in sign language. Other
performers included Dr. Helms,
Tom Richard, Dr. Silveira and
Frank Brooks, Margie Terzin,
Ric Weibl, Sue Saunders, and
Shirley Everett. The show was
emceed by the sharp dressed,
fast talking Don Lemish.
This is the second year in a row
Alpha Phi Omega has sponsored
this event. The proceeds from the
show go to the American
Diabetes Association. Alpha Phi
Omega Vice-President, Colleen
Vaughan, and all the members of
APO and those who performed
and helped with Faculty Follies
should be commended for their
time and effort.

Game Show Mania
By MICHAEL GEOLY
The Jeopardy-Wheel of
Fortune "Power Hour," it
catches all of us, every evening,
during the week. From seven to
eight o'clock, we're glued to the
screen by Pat and Vanna's pearly
whites, and Alex Trebek, with his
dapper wardrobe by "Mr. Guy."
Why are we so attached to these
game shows? Why do we drop
everything for this hour? Forget
your two tests tomorrow, put the
research paper on hold, because
Roger, the five tiine champ on
Jeopardy is going for $100,000.
Since we are all engrossed with
obtaining knowledge, we must
tune in for strictly educational
purposes. After all, where else
would we be able to enrich our
minds with catchie proverbs such
as, "It takes two to Tango," or "A
watched pot never boils." I for
one, idolize Vanna for her
capability to be able to walk
across stage in half a dress and
reveal the letters. I recall once
reading an article which had
Vanna boasting the fact that she
"hadn't missed one yet."
Awesome. Let's face it, "The
To Choose Or Not
To Choose. . .
By TERRESA
It is almost that time of the
year again. What time do you
ask? The time to decide if you can
live with your former roommate,
and if not, choosing the one for
you Has your last weeks of this
semester been one full of
continuous fights with with yoiu-
roomie? Then next semester it
may be time for a change. But
who to live with is another
question.
Here's a few tips to help in
choosing one:
— make sure that it is not your
best friend. Wasn't that who your
former roomie was before you
lived together?
— make sure you have something
in common such as music. If one
of you loves country and the other
New Wave there could be a huge
problem.
L. BUELOW
— find someone who wears the
same size as you with a great
wardrobe. Then your's doubles.
— if you're a late sleeper, make
sure he or she does not rise with
the sun.
—if you have a problem with
studying, find one who studies
more than you and maybe it'll
rub off.
— find one whose parents are
always sending goodies to eat,
then you'll never be hungry.
— make sure he or she likes to
party as much as you, if not more
than you. That way when you
come stumbling in at 3 a.m. you
won't wake up to the bitching.
Hopefully, these tips vnll come
in handy if you are in the
situation of finding a new roomie
this semester. If not you may
need them next semester.
Wheel" isn't the most intellectual
program, but it does serve the
purpose of appetizer to the main
course of "Jeopardy."
Yes, while "The Wheel" is on,
it is acceptable to leave the
room; only after you've solved
the puzzle before one of the
contestants. But with Jeopardy,
it is a sin to leave the room,
unless you are just saving
yourself from embarassment due
to your lack of trivia knowledge.
From the Single Jeopardy round,
right down to the Final Jeopardy
round, questions and answers are
being spewed out, many of which
none of us know. When a category
comes up that you have no clue
about, that is the time to leave the
room. For me, that would be
sports, religion, or "the 20's" One
of the most humiliating moments
on Jeopardy is when a category
pertaining to your major here at
Longwood comes up, and you
can't answer a question from the
entire category. For some
reason, these two game shows
have been integrated into many
students' routines. Be it a study
break, or pre-study brain
"stimulation," The Wheel of
Fortune and Jeopardy serve as
an educational, fun hour of<
television. .J

SPECIAL NOTES
Registration Appointments: Apointments will
be assigned for all students who are continuing un-
dergraduates. Registration forms are distributed
through academic advisors. Students who change
majors after the forms are printed will need to pick
up their forms from the former advisor before going
to the new advisor.
Delinquent Accounts: All library fines, parking
fines, unpaid damage deposits, or other delinquent
student accounts must be cleared before the student
can preregister. This includes degree applications
for those students who have accumulated 90 or more
credits, including transfer credits.
Academic Probation-Suspension: This policy
provides for automatic (immediate) suspension for
those students whose ciunulative averages (at the
end of any grading period) fall below certain re-
quired averages, which increase according to the
total number of hours attempted (including transfer
work). The complete table of required averages may
be found on pages 32-33 of the 1986-87 Longwood
College Catalog (available in the Admissions Office).
PREREGISTRATION
PROCEDURES
1. No student should cut classes to preregister.
The Registrar's Office will honor a student's
registration appointment at any time during
preregistration hours (on or after the printed
appointment time) through the end of the pre-
registration period.
2. To preregister, each student must bring a pre-
printed registration form signed by the
academic advisor, showing sufficient alternate
courses to allow the student to obtain a com-
plete schedule (signed by the department head
to enable enrollment in a course that has already
closed) and receipts showing payment of any
charges for registration stop codes.
3. The advising process is an integral part of pre-
registration. Allow sufficient time to meet with
your academic advisor and discuss degree re-
quirements, as well as academic difficulties. If
you are in academic difficulty, the fastest way
to improve your GPA is by repeating courses.
Think of C as the break-even j)oint. For every
grade below C, you need a comparable one
above C to balance it. For every D, you need
a B in a course of the same or higher credit
value; for every F, you need an A or two B's
in courses of the same or higher credit value.
4. Each student is expected to complete the pre-
registration process in one transaction. Plan al-
ternate courses ahead of time! A list of closed
courses will be posted beside the Registrar's
office and distributed to department heads
daily. Students who must return for additional
processing may do so on Fridays.
5. Preregistration is limited to 1-5 p.m., Monday-
Friday, so that the office staff can continue
routine office work and prepare enrollment re-
ports to faciUtate the process.
6. Alphabetical master lists of registration ap-
pointment times are posted in convenient loca-
tions across campus.
7. Undergraduate students who fail to preregister
must register on Monday, August 24, 1987.
Schedule changes may not be made until add/
drop begins on Tuesday, August 25, 1987.

I thought you were cute with
hair and I still think you're cute
without it! By the way, I love
your tan!
Always,
D.T.
Winkie, Becky, and Stephanie,
Thanks for being my friend. Be
sure and drop by my room nejrt
year. I know I've missed out on a
lot of fun, but everyone makes
mistakes.
Love,
me
Steven G (Cox 209),
It seems I'm not the only one
who likes what they see! Only
I've liked it all year!
Always,
E.S.
My roommate is engaged!!
Congratulations, Maggie (and
Archie)
I Love you,
Dawn
D.H.L. (Mr — into-everything).
Your friendship means a lot to
me. I hope things haven't
changed, (what about that bet?)
love.
Dawn
Maggie,
You've had a great season. It's
probably been one of the
toughest, but I would say its
ended on a high note! I'm proud
of you!

THE ROTUNDA Poq*'?
H-SC Bands
By MICHAEL GEOLY
Spring Weekend, it's almost
here. The rumors of Bruce
Homsby or the Beastie Boys
playing came and went. So what
big name band did we get? The
Waxing Poetics. Some of us are
rather familiar with the Poetics,
for they've played many a
fraternity house at H-SC in the
past year. Some of us; however,
aren't so quick to recognize the
name. The group is relatively
new: they've recently come out
with their first album, and who
knows, someday they may be
really big in the music industry.
Just think, ten years from now
you might be able to say, "I
remember when..." to your
children and spouse about the
band.
For those of you who frequent
the Hampden-Sydney circuit, you
should be happy to hear that the
school will have seventeen bands
between Thursday and Saturday
for their annual "Greek Week"
festivities. This will give students
from both schools opportunity to
campus hop from school to
school. The H-SC bands will be
"Beat Rodeo" and "The
Smithereens," on Thursday
night, and "The Neighborhoods,"
on Friday night Saturday
evening, each fraternity will host
a band, the list goes as follows:
Fiji- The Black Jacks and Dirty
Secrets, Pi Kappa Alpha-
Charlie, Chi Rii- The Good Goyi,
Kappa Alpha- Nod Logic and See
You, Sigma Alpha Epsilon- The
Prematons and Steel Drum,
Theta Chi- Duck Clark ai^ the
Hotnuts and The Skull Tones,
Sigma Nu- Locals Only, Lambda
Chi- Other Bright Colors, and
Sigma Chi- The Mentals, and Hie
Change.
Whatever you do this weekend,
wherever you go, you'll certainly
have no trouble finding some live
entertainment. Go out, have fun,
and relax. Exams are coming,
and this may be your last chance
to kick back. Everybody have a
fun, safe, weekend.
A Tribute To Our Advisor
Many professors can't brag
that they're "having fun." Mr.
William Woods can. He makes
every class an exploration into
thought. These thoughts may not
necessarily be what you were
assigned to read, but they
stimulate you and make you
search for more reasons.
I am a veteran of Woods. There
is not a boring moment in any of
his classes. This semester I
decided to caputre his moments
on paper. The result is an in-
teresting, funny, and thought
provoking list of outrageous
quotes:
— "This is not a pretty pic-
ture."
— "Were you around for
Watergate? Do you remember?"
By MARNA BUNGER
— "Would Faulkner write
about these things?"
— "Let's not kid ourselves!"
— "If you were this novel,
what liquor would you drink?"
— "There are people that will
go into a bookstore and buy a
book and read it for pleasure.
Really!"
— "This is unusual. They're all
gonna fail it. I can't wait."
— "There's no available fun
for you."
— "That makes me forget
what I was trying to remember."
— "That's the whole point of
novels. You get to read about
people you don't want to hang out
with in real life."
— "Enough of my problems."
— "Everyone is here except
those who aren't."
— "No one can experience
anything anymore because no
one is innocent."
— "Looking for that someone
special?"
— "AIDS - A nightmare
beyond measure."
— "I'll just have to write a new
book and I'm doing that and boy
is it good."
— "I felt a sense of fun running
through me."
— "And then we'll be having
fun."
— "Why am I telling you
this?"
He told us lots of interesting
things and we did have fun.
Woods is what l/)ngwood has
instead of happy childhoods.

John Colangelo, a junior at
Ix)ngwood, is one of about 100
college students from across the
country selected to participate in
the Institute on Comparative
Political and Economic Systems
this summer.
The Institute will be held at
Georgetown University from
June 5 to July 19. It is sponsored
by the Fund for American
Studies, a non-profit educational
foundation affiliated with
Georgetown.
Participants in the program
attend two classes each morning
— one in government and one in

do an internship with a
Congressman, U.S. Senator, law
firm or government agency. A
lecture series in the evenings
features Senators and

Colangelo, of Springfield, is
majoring in business ad-
ministration, with a con-
centration in economics. He is a
graduate of West Springfield
High School.
Last year, he was president of
the Student Government
Association. He is currently
president of Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity.
After graduating from
Longwood, he plans to go into
business or attend law school.
The criteria for selection to the
Institute include academic
excellence and leadership
qualities. Colangelo, who will
receive six academic credits for
the two classes, will live on the
Georgetown campus during the
program.
Phi Beta Lamba

ByMARNABUNGER
Phi Beta Lamda, Longwood's

interview.
There are 700 members in PBL
in Virginia. Over 300 attended the
convention. It was a competitive
couple of days, but there were no
casualties. A good time was had
by all who attended, making the
other 400 members in the state
wish they had gone too.
The Field
By SCOTT ESTES
Last weekend the Reserve
Officers Training Corps here at
Longwood went "to the field" for
the first practical exercise of the
semester.
Training began Friday af-
ternoon with a Land Navigation
course which led cadets over
widely varying terrain. As the
sun went down the cadets were
once again challenged by the
course which had become
somewhat more difficult — it was
now dark and visibility was
greatly limited in the woods.
Nevertheless, all cadets suc-
cessfully navigated both courses.
Saturday morning was marked
by sunny skies as the second
phase of training began. Moving
out in two patrols, the cadets
conducted both reconnaissance
and combat missions — the two
most common types of patrols.
At the conclusion of this
training the cadets and cadre
packed up and left to return to
Longwood. The training the
cadets received this weekend
should serve them well next
weekend as they travel to Fort
Pickett to train with cadets from
the University of Richmond and
Virginia Commonwealth
University at the Spring Field
liCadership Exercise.

Artist Of The Month
Christine Schup, a junior art
major from Manassas, has been
named Artist of the Month at
Longwood College.
Her winning work is a
Prismacolor drawing titled
"Madonna." The drawing was
done as a class assignment — to
create "a portrait in the style of -
Andy Warhol," Ms. Schup said.
"I chose Madonna as the subject
of the portrait because her flashy
personality lends itself to this
type of color craziness."
Ms. Schup received a $50 cash
award, and her drawing is on
exhibit in the Bedford Building at
Longwood.
She is working toward the
bachelor of fine arts degree, with
a concentration in drawing and
printmaking. She hopes to pursue
a career in advertising or
illustration.
Ms. Schup is a three-year
starter on Longwood's lacrosse
team, which was nationally
ranked third in Division II last
year.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Richard F. Schup, of
Manassas.

By TIM SEYMOUR
This year, the Longwood
College Rugby Club has been
quite successful. During the fall
semester they've compiled an 11-
2 record including victories that
merit their status as reigning
Division III state champions! In
addition, they organized, com-
peted, and won their first annual
Oktoberfest-ARA Tournament!
The wheels are already in motion
for a 6-team tournament next
Oktoberfest.
This spring, Longwood has won
their first three games and
competed in the 26th annual
Commonwealth Cup.
Following are a few details
surrounding their season,
respectively:
Longwood vs. VCU 28-0
On February 28, Longwood
traveled to Richmond to compete
a^^ainst VCU! In the first half,
Tim Seymour started the scoring
with a 65 yard run down the
sideline. Following, both Dave
Larson and Eric Nelson
capitalized on the game to give
LC 2 more tries. In the second
half, Matt Wlisk bursted into the
endzone in a Thor-like fashion to
bring LC 4 more points, l^st,
LCRFC drove VCU into their own
endzone and John Hunt touched
the ball for a try. With Tim
Seymour's 4 out of 5 conversion
kicks, longwood defeated VCU
28-0!
L vs. E.H. 13^
In their first home match of the
spring season, l^ongwood took it
to the men of E&H College. As
they posed some physical op-
Longwood notched a third
place finish out of 10 teams last
Tuesday in the rain-shortened
Peggy Kirk Bell Tournament ai
Orlando, Florida. Indiana won
the event with a 319, UNCW wa
second with a 333 and the LC was
third with a 334.
Originally scheduled for 54
holes, the torunament was
shortened to one round because of
heavy rain in the Orlando area
Sunday and Monday.
Tops for Longwood was
Melone, who carded an 81 to tie
for fourth place in the individual
race. Gretchen Pugh shot an 82,
Barrett 85, Warren 86 and Russell
88. Lehren, playing as an in-
dividual carded an 87.
Gymnasts Take
4th
Longwood's gymnastics team
closed out its 1986-87 season
Saturday with a fourth place
finish in the Virginia State Meet
at Radford. Longwood scored a
respectable 164.15, but was
unable to keep pace with Division
I's William & Mary (176.70),
Radford (174.90) and James
Madison (170.55).
Sophomore Lynda Chenoweth
led Longwood in all-around, bars
and beam. Chenoweth scored a
34.1 all-around for eighth place.
She was 10th in beam with an 8.55
and 12th in bars with an 8.4.
Kiersten Artese had an 8.9 on
floor to tie for ninth. Debbe Malin
and Tammy Zeller scored 8.65 in
vaulting to tie for 12th place.
Malin had a 32.3 all-around score
while Kerri Hniby had a 32.1.
Longwood had scored a 163.45
to place second in the Division II
regional March 28.
"We did okay in the State
Meet," said coach Ruth Budd.
"Beam hurt us, but we scored
higher overall than the week
before in regionals."
Budd's team finished with a 5-
10 regular season record, but
Budd was not dipleased with the
season. Since January Longwood
has had five gymnasts drop off
the team for various reasons.
"Considering the number of
gymjiasts we lost to injuries and
grades, we had a pretty good
season. The team's spirit was
high for the most part. We kept
working hard.

position, their game was not as
skillful as Longwood. Scoring for
Longwood was Tim Seymour,
Dave Larson, and Ernestine
Harris.
Longwood vs. Lynchburg 4-3
For the third time in 3 years,
Longwood has beaten Lynchburg
Men's Club. However, this has
been the toughest! At Vz time the
score was 0-0. Early in the 2nd
half though, Lynchburg scored
with a drop kick! In a knock-
down, drag out game, Longwood
scored with a sideline run by
Dave Rackley, assisted by Brad
Pace, with 5 minutes left. With
numerous attempts to come back
in Longwood stood strong in the
last few minutes and came out
victorious.
26th Annual Commonwealth Cup
For the first time Longwood
competed in the Commonwealth
Cup. The first two matches,
against Washington RFC and the
Washington i -ish, Longwood lost,
and the thirc they received a
forfeit against JMU. It was a
very tough weekend, as they had
to battle some of the best teams
on the east coast. Other teams in
the tournament were. Harvard,
Yale, UVA and Nova. All in all
Ix)ngwood competed very well
against such experienced op-
ponents with scoring from Dave -
Rackly (1) and Tim Seymour (2).
So far, the Rugby Qub has done
very well, especially because of
the fact that they are a player-
coach team. The club would like
to extend a special thank you to
Rick Johnson, their advisor, and
all the fans that support them
every weekend.

Intramural Update
k raa
An intramural basketball team
at Longwood won one of two
divisions in a 50-team regional
tournament recently and com-
peted in the championship game,
losing in overtime.
The team participated in the
Schick Super Hoops II tour-
nament at George Washington
University in Washington, D.C.,
which freatured three-on-three
basketball. The teams were
divided into two 25-team
brackets.
The Longwood team won its
bracket and then lost in the title
game to the University of
Maryland-Eastern Shore, which
had won its division. The game
was played March 28 (luring
halftime of the Washington

at the Capital Centre.
The team consisted of James
Taylor, Alfonso Woodson and
Charles Gregory.
Colleges and universities from
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and

One other Longwood team
participated in the tournament.
Its members were Donny Celata,
Bryan Diggs, Tim Morris and
Gerry Hasty.
Members of both teams

THE ROTUNDA Fago 1 1
Softball Team Wins 3 Of 5
Baseball Team Stands
At 17-5
Longwood was able to play just
two of eight scheduled baseball
games last week, but two im-
pressive wins and the return of
pitcher Scott Mills gave Lancer
coach Buddy Holding something
to smile atwut.
Holding's 17-5 squad, ranked
19th in the most recent Collegiate
Baseball Division II poll, took
care of Liberty Wednesday 6-3
and Hampden-Sydney Thursday
7-0. A twinbill at Coppin State
Friday was postponed to April 17
because of rain.
The Lancers missed out on two
games Saturday when Shaw
failed to show up for a twinbill in
Farmville and two more Sunday
when rain prevented LC from
playing at Christopher-Newport.
This week, Longwood is slated
to visit Bowie State Tuesday for
two, Virginia Military Wed-
nesday for one, and host St.
Augustine's Saturday for two
games.
Mills rejoined the Lancers
Tuesday after receiving
notification that he was
academicaly eligible. He pitched
Thursday for the first time in
nearly two years, throwing four
shutout innings against Hamp-
den-Sydney. He struck out four
and walked four without giving
up a hit.
Mills, who has 18 career wins,
was ruled ineligible for the 1986
season and had not pitched for
the I..ancers since April, 1985. His
addition gives Longwood's pit-
ching staff considerable depth.
Thursday's starting pitcher
Franklin Watson did nearly as
well, giving up just two hits in
five innings while walking two
and striking out five. Watson
moved his record to 2-1 with the
victory.
Aided by 13 free passes from
two Tiger pitchers, Longwood
struck for five runs in the third,
one in the fifth and one in the
sixth. Centerfielder Robert
Jackson plated three runs with a
double and single and also stole
two bases. Pete Criscione and
Greylin Rice also drove in runs
for Longwood.
Shortstop Kelvin Davis ripped
a three-run homer in the eighth
inning to spark a five-run
Longwood rally and the Lancers
went on to post a 6-3 triumph over
Liberty Wednesday afternoon in
Lynchburg. It was the Lancers'
first win ever over the Division I
Flames in baseball.
Trailing 3-1 heading into the
eighth, Longwood finally got to
Liberty lefthander Randy
Tortilin. Singles by Criscione and
Jeff Mayone a hit batsman and a
fielder's choice brought home one
run.
Davis, who was troubled by a
sprained ankle earlier in the
season, blasted a 390-foot homer
over the fence in center field,
bringing home Mayone and Jeff
Rohm ahead of him. Longwood
wa!?n't through yet. With two
outs, Jackson ripped a triple and
came home on a Liberty error.
Senior pitcher Tony Browning
came on to work the final two
innings and earn his second save
of the season. He allowed just one
hit and retired the final three
batters on infield ground balls.
Rob Furth, who relieved starter
E. J. Bryant in the seventh,
picked up the win for a 2-0 record.
Bryant battled a sore back
while limiting the Flames to four
hits and three runs over six in-
nings. The sophomore
righthander pitched well. The
Flames scored twice in the fifth,
aided by a Lancer error, and once
in the sixth.
Rohm got Longwood on the
board in the sixth with a homer to
left. It was his third homer of the
season and gives him a team-high
24 runs-batted-in. The senior
third baseman is hitting .436.
With its pitching, hitting and
defense clicking, Longwood
turned one of its top per-
formances of the season Wed-
nesday.
Longwood's softball team won
three of five games last week,
taking two from James
Madison's club team and winning
one of three in the Methodist
College Tournament Saturday.
This week the Lady Lancers
host North Carolina Wesleyan for
two Wednesday at 3:00 and play
in the University of North
Carolina Greensboro Tour-
nament Friday and Saturday.
Longwood beat James Madison
9-8 and 11-3 Thursday at
Farmville Armory Field with a
total of 35 hits for the two games.
Mary Dailey had seven hits with
three doubles, and Chris LeBel
six hits with a homer and three
runs-batted-in against the
outclassed Duchesses.
Tina Hall went 34 and Bobbi
Shuler had a double and a triple
in the opener. Jill Everett had a
homer and a double in the
nightcap.
Freshman Anne Douglas
Miller pitched the opening game
win while sophomore Stacey
Thompson tossed a two-hitter in
the second contest.
In the Methodist Tournament
Saturday, NC Wesleyan rallied
for three runs in the bottom of
the sijcth to take a 4-2 victory over
the Lady Lancers. Penny Gough
had two hits to lead LC.
Longwood bounced back to
beat North Carolina Wilmington
3-1 behind the pitching of Cheryl
Scharr and runs-batted-in from
Hall, LeBel and Susette Stone.
Methodist eliminated
Longwood Saturday afternoon by
a 9-7 count. LeBel went 4-4 with
two doubles and three RBI's and
Shuler added three hits with a
double and two RBI's. The Lady
l^ancers had 15 hits to the host
team's five.
Men's And Women's
Tennis
Longwood's men's and
women's tennis teams met defeat
Tuesday afternoon as the
Lancers lost to Hampden-Sydney
6-3 at home and the Lady Lancers
fell to Lynchburg 8-1 on the road.
The lady netters bonced back to
edge Christopher Newport 5-4
Thursday on the l^ancer Hall
courts.
Winning matches Tuesday for
the lancer netters, now 1-3, were
Mark Lambert at no. 3 singles
and Lambert and Jeff Lewis at
No. 2 doubles. Ix)ngwood's match
with Roanoke Friday was
canceled.
Susan Miller logged the Lady
I^ancers' lone win at Lynchburg,
taking her no. 6 singles match 6-1,
6-4. Longwood moved to 3-3 with
its 5-4 win over Christopher-
Newport Thursday but a match
at Elon Saturday was canceled.

Page 12 THE ROTUNDA
Literary Week
By RENEE SMITH
By CATHY GAUGHRAN
Last week was, among other
things, Literary Week here at
Long wood.
The principal ceremony of the
week was to be the presentation
of the seventh John Dos Passos
Prize for Literature to John
Edgar Wideman. Unfortunately,
Mr. Wideman was detained in
New England by a snowstorm
and could not be here for the
ceremony on Tuesday. March 31,
forcing the presentation to be
postponed. The EngUsh Dept.
hopes to be able to reschedule the
event for sometime later this
month.
Mr. Wideman, the first black
author to receive the prestigious
Dos Passos Prize, which includes
a cash award of $1,000, is also the
recipient of the 1984 PEN-
Faulkner Award for Fiction,
among other honors in the
literary field.
The first event of the Gyre
Literary Week was a reading by
author Fred Chappell on
Wednesday, April 1 in Wygal
Auditorium. Originally from a
small town in North Carolina and
educated at Duke University,
Fred Chappell is the author of
five novels and eleven books of
poetry. ChappeU read a number
of his poems: "Southwind",
"Grandmother Washes Her
Feet", "Recovery of Sexual
Desire After a Bad Cold", and
"Rib". His first two poems were
dedicated to a grandmotherly
figure and life in a small rural
town. Beautifully descriptive,
one can almost hear the voice of
Chappell's Aunt Tildy, or feel the
cool refreshing breeze in the
poem "Southwind". Chappell's
poetry employs local color and a
regional dialect to tell the stories
of simple people, a family
history, and its black sheep
ancestors, th*"shadow cousins"
The highlight of the evening was
a reading from one of Chappell's
prose works, "Uncle Gerton's
Beard". The story deals with the
visit of the infamous Uncle
Gerton and his legendary
whiskers. The tale of his
insatiable appetite and
ultimately unruly beard won
Uncle Gerton a huge round of
applause and was a pleasant
conclusion to an evening with
author Fred Chappell.
Ms. Priscilla A. Ord, who
joined the English faculty here in
1986, gave a lecture on Thursday,
April 2 on "Evidence of the
Folklore of Children in the 'Little
House' books of Laura Ingalls
Wilder", a topic she is presently
doing extensive research on.
Miss Ord's presentation
revealed many interesting forms
of folklore in the everyday life of
the Ingalls family as they
travelled from western
Wisconsisn through Iowa,
Minnesota, and South Dakota.
This lore includes the games the
children played, rhymes and
stories sung or told to them by Ma
and Pa, and snowy day oc-
cupations of all sorts.
The lecture brought all those
who attended through the years
from 1867 to 1889, the years of
Laura Ingalls Wilder's life in-
cluded in her 9 book series.
The English Department would
like to thank all those who at-
tendedthe events the week had to
offer, and will make the
'snowdate' of the Dos Passos
Award ceremony available as
soon as possible.
Crimes Of
The Heart
By LAURA TRALA
The Longwood Players will
present Beth Henley's Crimes of
the Heart on Wednesday through
Thursday evenings, April 22-25 in
Jarman Auditorium. Curtain
time each evening is 8 o'clock,
longwood students will be ad-
mitted free with college I.D.
The play is about three zany
southern sisters: Lenny, Meg,
and Babe (played by Melanie
Moore, Sandra Clayton, and
Cheri Stuckney) having a "real
bad day." The real crimes are
that they are unable to show love,
and have betrayed themselves by
protecting their own hearts, and
in doing so breaking others
hearts.
The causes of their heart aches
range from their mother's
suicide, to their overbearing
grandfather and to the nonsense
and meddling of their cousin
Chick (played by Kim Talley).
Doc Porter is played by Irwin
Kroot and Barnette Lloyd is
played by Glenn Gilmer.
Jane Armitage of New York is
the guest director. She is known
throughout the United States for
her outstanding contributions to
professional and amateur
theatre. She is currently the
Training Director at the
Riverside Shakespeare Company
in New York and this summer she
will manage the training
programs of the National Theatre
of Great Britain at Cornell
University and in London. As well
as directing Crimes of the Heart,
she is teaching acting classes in
the Speech and Theatre
Program.
Please be sure to mark your
calendar for Crimes of the Heart,
a humorous and heart-warming
play about communication,
courage, endurance, but most of
all, about love.
