Lambda Iota Tau Sponsors Mr. Short Author Of 'Peanuts*

May Day '68 A Success In spite of the difficulties of moving the May Day Activities to Jarman because of a rain threat, May Day was a success. Marilyn Bates and her various committees should be commended for their various parts in coordinating May Day and producing such a fine May Day program.

The thirty-minute May Day program is a light way of terminating schoo1 activities for the year It draws together faculty members, students, and parents This year May Day was attended by a large group of parents, students, and faculty Jarman Auditorium was almost filled to capacity The day was brought to a culmination with a dance on Saturday night May Day has something to offer everyone It is a wonderful way of completing the school year There are many Longwood traditions that the school could do without, but let us hope that May Day will continue to be an annual event here, an important Longwood tradition

Robert Short, the well-known author of "The Gospel According to Peanuts," will speak at Longwood on Tuesday, May 14, at 1:00 in Jarman Auditorium.

Mr. Short, who has lectured all over the country, is being jointly sponsored

by Lambda Iota Tau, the English and Foreign Language Honorary, and the Jarman Series. Mr. Short's visit is largely due to the efforts of Dr. Herbert Blackwell, who has had to give up the sponsorship of Lambda Iota Tau since his appointment as Dean of the college.

The new sponsor of the society is Miss Gail Y. Okawa. The entire student body is invited to hear Mr. Short speak about his Biblical and moral interpretations of the comic strip "Peanuts."

Does She Or Doesn't She?

1

Are some of your friends blonde by preference? Have you noticed a 'Brownette' turn into a blonde in three easy applications? Or have you ever seen the campus hairdresser who streaks and tips others' hair with an old shower or bathing cap? How about that permanent that was given in Post Office bathroom that was so stifling that no one else could bear to enter. . .

Maybe Curl Free does the job better than U.N.C.U.K.L., but neither application aids those with weak lungs. Disregarding the side effects caused by those treatments, it is important to realize that damage is done to the hair whenever an alcohol or bleaching compound is applied.

Just as a great number of girls bake in the sun for hours to get that "all-healthy tan," even at the expense of harmful blisters and painful burns, so, too, girls mistreat their hair, Whether "blondes have more fun" is a question debated recently on a television special, to which all brunettes promptly answered, "Have more fun than what.'" How can we be sure that we attract more attention as a blonde?

Simple scientific application proves tli.it light colors (white) reflect more light while dark colors absorb more light. Unless we want to be classed as "absorbing brunettes," we get out our Light and Bright and start to work on transforming our coloring.

After several "in-lightening" weeks, browns become platinum or honey blondes at the expense of their hair texture. Often over-bleaching causes the strands to dry out and beniine brittle from lack of natural oils. This causes splitting and unnecessary broken ends. Look carefully at the next "bottle blonde" and notice the results of a social faux pas.

Why can't we be content with our hair as it is naturally? Do we feel compulsed to change its color?

Then, too, the girl who streaks her hair runs into nearly as much trouble as the peroxide blond.s becauM the streaking must be repeated every four or five weeks if the highh tit ing is to be effective. Not only is this a time-consuming process requiring at least two people, but also it runs Into quite u expense. Consider your pocksfbook before going blonde because it's a certainty that a minimum of $5.00 a month will be spent on hair : upkeep, Ken the nil who is tired of her tie.ikni ii.iu, there is a "reversed trotting" procedure designed to give i to the previously bleached portioni, This process is expensive, but (or the girli who yearn to return to theii on. uul color and spare the expaw t.mt trotting treatments,

tUfc

reverse frosting is the answer. If she decides to become a blonde again, her chances for natural looking hair "survival" are lessened. If your mother's linens can't stand several bleachtag treatments, how can you expect your hair t0 stay ta peak condition?

There is a paradox with girls' hair styles. Those who have straight hair want curls, and those with naturally curly locks want straight hair. Why? I guess the problem is as psychological as that of brunettes wanting to be blondes and blondes wishing they had raven-black hair. But these whims are satisfied with permanents and hairk relaxers. Both products are effective not only in doing the job they advertise, but in ruining hair textures, Hair straighteners are particularly harmful. If you don't follow the instructions exactly, you may end up with six months' growth of unmanageable hair. Sometimes hair that has been relaxed is brittle and breaks off to the scalp. Professional beauticians should straighten hair; the home straighteners are often ineffective and more damaging. (Besides, if your hair is still curly, you can always go back to your hairdresser and have it restraightened free of charge.)

But, the fact remains — we just are not happy with what we already have and with what we are. A person who finds peace and contentment doing the simple tasks (like homework. . .Ha!), may have her natural hair coloring, straight or curly; or she may find these colorings and straighteners helpnil for her. Nevertheless, changing your hair style and color won't change 'he real you. Let's put our stock in more intrinsic, not materialistic values. This summer, disregard the "does she or doesn't she," and think ta terms of self-satisfaction- "isshe, or isn't she a genuine person?" tff nHonf u I*rou*»n i Art OlUUCIIl!* I ICMrilimi » A 1 I?

Sometimes The Only Thing More Scarce Around Here Than Moil it MALE!

Survey Shows Low Drug Usage, Relatively Few Illegal Drugs ITHACA, N.Y. - (I.P.) - In a determined effort to clearly identify students' attitudes and experiences toward the use of illegal drugs, Ithaca College recently completed a survey of its student body. The four-page written survey was conducted under the auspices of the Illegal Drugs Control Committee, a student-faculty-administration body started last spring to prevent drug usage among students by educating them about the dangers involved.

Results of the survey were "gratifying. . .revealing a much lower drug usage than estimated" according to two faculty members who conducted the survey, Dr. J. David Hammond, administrative officer of the college's Health Center, and Martin Rand, assistant professor of psychology and author of the survey.

It is estimated that only eight per cent of Ithaca College students are currently involved in the regular use of any type of illegal drugs. The two men labeled the survey unique. "We believe it to be the most extensive of its kind — possibly the first - yet conducted on an American college campus," said Dr. Hammond.

Slightly more than 2,000 of the coed school's 3,300 students completed the survey. Also identified in the survey was the sex, class standing and academic curriculum of the respondents.

Marijuana emerged as the principal drug used by students. Survey statistics indicate that approximately 22 per cent of the student body have tried marijuana, either during high school or after becoming a college student.

Only 15 per cent have used marijuana on more than two occasions.

Dissatisfaction with marijuana after use was shown in another way by the survey. Of the 22 per cent of users, only one quarter of them said they have tried the drug in the past three months.

"This limited usage — one or two times - indicates that such students wished to satisfy their curiosin," explained Dr. Hammond. "They apparently found their contact with it unsatisfying and may well have no further association with marijuana."

Survey figures indicated that relatively few illegal drugs other than marijuana are used on this campus.

Only three per cent of the 2,000 students said they had ever used psychedelic drugs.

Several popular conceptions about what students think of drug usage were shaken by the survey. For one, the survey indicated that a vote among iits on this campus to legalize <f marijuana would be defeated. Fifteen per cent of the user 1 marijuana should not be A full 66 per cent of tin nonuser groui se sentiments, ond, the college campus atmos-

phere is not solely responsible for students using drugs. Many college users began taking illegal drugs before their freshman year.

Third, rebellion is not the sole criterion for students using illegal drugs. Followers, or those who do what the leader in their peer group does, begin using drugs simply to "belong." Sometimes being "with" their group means drinking; other times it means using drugs.

Finally, the popular conception that "wide spread usage" of drugs exists among coUege students may well be erroneous. "Very few colleges have taken the steps necessary to attain relatively accurate statistics," points out Rand. He explained that students who use drugs naturally tend to associate with other users. These users can honestly say that "nearly all the students I know use drugs," and therefore expand this to the belief that the majority of all college students do so.

Rand also pointed out that drugusing students tend to believe that "most other students use drugs too" as a way of rationalizing their own nonconformity.

These two factors - both of which add up to incomplete data - must be kept in mind when trying to determine how serious a drug problem a campus may have, he said.

The Third Spring Concert presented by the Longwood College Concert Choir, directed by Dr. Molnar, will be on Monday, May 20, at 8:00 p.m., in Jarman Auditorium.

All students are invited to attend.

Musical selections will be varied.

Strindberg's "Ghost Sonata" Ends Play Production Season

By JANET WALSH A rewarding and enjoyable season for the Longwood Players and Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs came to a successful close with the production of the "Ghost Sonata," by August Strindberg.

Jim Rhodes' forceful acting ability dominated the stage for his first entrance to his final exit. The statuesque actors in the background, and the excellent props and lighting were effective in achieving Strindberg's desired mood of mystery and the supernatural. Into this compelling atmosphere Jim Rhodes as Mr. Hummel intrigues and fascinates the audience, luring them towards a revelation of the progressing suspense.

Warren Fulton and Frank Faust must be commended upon their good performances in the dinner scene. Suspense and eerie tension was sustained by the methodical and stiff actions of the dinner guests. Pat Holmes makes a startling impression in the dinner scene.

The scene between Arkenholtz and the Young Lady, portrayed by Neil Aird and Marilyn Greene, respectively, was the culmination of the anguish and mystery which occurred throughout the play. Neil Aird was very eloquent in the closing scene and the impact of "The Ghost Sonata" lingered long after the curtains were drawn.

It was generally agreed that "The Ghost Sonata" was a thought-provoking play which could be interpreted on

many levels. Dr. Lockwoood should be recognized for his effective directorship of such an enigmatic contemporary play. It was a confusing play, to follow for those who had not read "The Ghost Sonata. "However, the production was well-presented and left the audience with a stirred-upimagination.

Archers Succumb To Westhampton; Meet R-MC Here The Varsity Archery Team traveled to Westhampton College last Wednesday for a meet with the Westhampton archers. The L.C. team had some trouble adjusting to the range and targets as was evident at the end of the match.

Jane Erdman, captain of the Longwood team, was high for L.C. with a score of 451. Jane placed second in the match, and Carol Reese of Westhampton came in first with a 463. Ttie opposing team also took third place with a score of 444 shot by Pat Smith. Other scores for Longwood were: Ginny Sire - 411, Donna Tribby -319, Frances Sale-298, and Arlene Cundiff - 257.

The overall match score was Westhampton 2,099 and Longwood 1,736.

Longwood lost its first match to Madison College by a mere 15 points. The team has one more home match scheduled for the 15th with Randolph-Macon Woman's College.

Four members of the Longwood H20 Club participated in a six-way synchronized swimming meet at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, on Saturday, May 4.

The other schools participating were Converse, Agnes Scott, Winthrop, Old Dominion, and East Carolina.

Elinor Umbdenstock placed second in the stunt competition. She and Stephanie DuRoss placed third with their duet, "Trolls" taken from the water show. The team number, "Candy" from the water show, also placed third. Swimming in this number were Barbara Carr, Stephanie DuRoss, Anne Crigler, and Elinor Umbdenstock.

Anne Crigler placed fifth with her solo, "The Sound of Music." Longwood placed fourth over all - First Place: Converse; Second: East Carolina; Third: Agnes Scott; Fourth: Longwood; Fifth: Winthrop; Sixth: Old Dominion.

Four members of the Longwood tennis team, accompanied by Miss Harris, left for a tennis tournament at Mary Baldwin College Thursday, May 2.

Some of the twenty-one schools attending the tournament were Florida State University, Bridgewater, Radford, Madison, Mary Washington, Mary Baldwin, Westhampton, Richmond Professional Institute, and Mississippi State College for Women. The girls representing Longwood were Laurel Baldwin, Lynne Coleman, Marcia Franklin, and Anna Pettis. Mississippi State won first, second, and third places in the singles competition.

Lynne and Laurel, both Freshmen, were eliminated in the first round, while Marcia, a sophomore, continued until the second round. Anna, who is a junior, met defeat in the third round by the defending champion from Mississippi State, Andrea Martin. The Longwood doubles team, Marcia and Anna, were defeated by Hollins College.

Staff Retires After 153 Years Service

By LIBBA BALL Five members of Longwood's staff are retiring this year. Dr. George W. .Jeffers, Mrs. Mildred Davis, Miss Mary Pomery Nichols, Dr. C. G. Gor-. don Moss, and Mrs. Virginia Lindsey were honored Monday night at the "Old Timers' Club" banquet, an organization of local Farmville old timers who have served as members of Longwood's faculty or staff for 20 years or more.

The club has no officers or constitution, and only meets to have a banquet in honor of those who are retiring from Longwood's services.

Dr. George W. Jeffers, one-time head of the biology department, heads those retiring. During his 42 year stay on Longwood's campus, Dr. Jeffers has won outstanding recognition on the state, as well as the national level.

During 1940-41, he headed the National Association of Biology Teachers. Later he was president of the Virginia AcadeGcorge Eliot: A Biography

my of Science. From 1943-45, Dr. Jeffers was selected as director of a special study of the Chesapeake BayFisheries Commission, financed by the Rockefeller Foundation.

A native of Newfoundland, Dr. Jeffers was once a professional fisherman, following his father's occupation. At 22, he entered as a freshman at Boston University where he later did his graduate work. He received his doctorate in 1931 from the University of Toronto.

What made Dr. Jeffers go to school?

"I was off the coast of Newfoundland fishing," he began, "and I was hungry.

It was then that I decided to earn enough money so I wouldn't have to be hungry again! I couldn't depend on fishing for three meals a day - so I decided to go to college."

Dr. Jeffers took his post on Longwood's campus in 1926. "At the time I needed a job," he admitted; "I didn't choose Longwood, she chose me!" Dr. Jeffers has had two interests—"women and fish." While here, he had kept a log book entitled "Biology At Longwood" which dates back to the founding of our college in 1884. In this book, Dr. Jeffers has included the student government president, the heads of the biology department and the staff and also the lab assistants. He also has a record of all the biology majors and minors.

Asked why he was retiring, Dr. Jeffers answered mildly, "Well, I was born in 1897, and you can't work past 70." After retirement, he plans to "find somebody with a boat and go back to fishing!"

Mrs. Mildred Davis, the former Miss Mildred Dickinson from Hampden-Sydney, began her stay at Longwood as a boarding student her last two years of high school. She graduated here in 1922

and received her masters degree at U. Va. in English. She has completed summer studies at U. N. C, Cornell University, and Bread Loaf School of English in Middlebury, Vermont.

She taught English and history in Puerto Rico for two years and completed 12 years' teaching in Virginia public high schools.
