The Freshman Beanie: Poorly Preserved Tradition

71 Voices Gripes; Common ComplaintsCurfew, Clothes

There are many traditions on the Longwood Campus Red and White vs Green ond White spirit, CHI, Circus (Geist Festival), Joan Arc and numerous other traditions of long standing. But perhaps some other traditions that have been lingering on should be examined more closely Maybe it is time that Longwood realizes that it is no longer able to preserve all of its traditions.

Ratting used to be a tradition at Longwood but somewhere along the line this practice dropped by the wayside. No more hazing, no more forcing freshmen to do things against their will, was the word for upperclassmen Somehow during the orientation program this year we felt that traces of the old ratting tradition were still evident.

Do we really believe that the freshmen enioyed wearing those horrendous beanies, or was this sort of a compulsory action? Judging l-om the number of freshmen that were not sporting the unmistakable cap we are presuming the latter assumption to be true.

However, if this is a tradition which Longwood wishes to preserve why was the beanie-wearing not enforced? This is not meant as an argument against tradition at Longwood, it is simply our belief that the choice is up to the students — poorly preserved traditions have no place on our campus We must either cling to our old traditions and see them carried on as traditions or abandon them in looking to the future

Why So Many Out Of It? Today going to college is made easy for those with the mental qualification Money need not be a barrier anymore keeping students from enrolling in institutions of higher learning Even the high-cost ivy league schools and universities are able to aid students. They are so heavily endowed that they offer many scholarships for students who can meet the scholastic requirements The U. S. Office of Education is preparing for the biggest year yet in higher education. It is helping nearly a half million students to attend college from the National Defense student loan program The Office has allocated about $189 million to 1,701 institutions of higher learninq to be distributed among deserving students during the fiscal year that began last July I. This money was put to use for the colleqe year beginninq in September Longwood received $36,000 from the National Defense program for student loans this year. An undergraduate student may borrow up to $1,000 in each academic year A graduate student may borrow as much as S2,500 each academic year. The rate of interest on these Defense loans is nominal. What career a student chooses and the type of work he performs are taken into account in determining repayment of the loan.

There was nothing like this when our parents, or even our older brothers and sisters went to colleqe It was a lot of hard work to earn the education, or a rich family to help you We cannot help wondering why so many colleqe students ore "out of it" these days. Could it be that securing an education has become so much easier and we do not appreciate the many sacrifices our parents and taxpayers have made for us?

We Like Mixed Company!

Phi Beta Lambda, the Longwood Business Club, will sponsor a Coke Party Thursday, October 5, at 4:00 in Ruffner 121.

The party will give freshman and transfer students an opportunity to meet the present business students and professors. Attendance is especially encouraged for all business majors.

Even though freshmen have only been at Longwood for three weeks, they already have numerous complaints.

The major gripe among freshmen is the curfew. Karen Spady explains, "I would like to change the curfew to 12:30 a.m. on Friday night. Then you would at least have time to say hello and good-bye to your date."

Janet Jackson thinks the curfew should be changed to 1:00 a.m. on Saturday night for upperclassmen, and freshmen after first semester. However, Donna Gladden summed up many freshmen opinions when she replied, "I do not think that Longwood should have any curfew at all."

According to Neblett Torrence, freshmen should have blanket permission if their parents approve. She also wishes students could wear bermudas anywhere on campus "as long as they look decent."

Door restrictions puzzle Barbara Blythe. She asks, "Why do you have to walk a mile out of your way to get outside?"

Chris Jamieson wants rubber mats on her dorm's floor so that when she sneaks out alter bed check, the squeaking floor won't wake anyone up.

Boys are undependable, so Maxine Stone can not understand why she should be counted late if her date does not leave by her curfew. She explains, "He may be talking to another girl."

Just think, what would Longwood be without griping freshmen?

Look Out, "Proper Attire:99 Miniskirts Have Arrived!

By KAREN MAHER The new Freshmen gym suits are facing stiff competition as the mini skirt gradually puts in an appearance on the Longwood campus. As the gym suit hemlines dropped, the skirt hems soared up. Mini skirts, though not prevalent on this campus, have made their first public appearances.

The conservative old South is in for a shock as the younger Rebels have started wearing this short replica of a skirt. Never quite willing to go along with the wild and weird fashions of the North, the mod minis are threatening this conservatism. Some consider the mini a personal assault to their dignity, but most people are not as extreme as the grandmother who went up and kicked the mini clad teacher.

Opinions around Longwood vary, but most of the girls admit that they like them. When asked what they thought about mini skirts the replies ran as follows: "They're all right if you wear tights and have skinny legs."

This seemed to be the trend of thought as another student answered: "I think they're cute if you have the right legs to wear them."

One girl giggled: "1 think they're disgraceful!"

Still another: "They're cute on somebody with good legs, but I don't mean four or five inches above the

knee."

Or, "As long as it doesn't cause disruption, I don't see why not."

Another student surveyed the situation and came up with this answer: "College is the place where you're

supposed to be free to think for yourself. If you want to wear one you ought to be allowed to wear one."

One student expressed the boy's point of view when she said: "My boyfriend likes them. He says they attract attention from guys."

"You're covered up more than you are in a bathing suit, so what's wrong with them," demanded another student.

Mini skirts do present problems as one girl pointed out. "The worst problem with them is trying to act ladylike. You have to remember how to bend, sit, reach. . ."

Another comment was that "they look ridiculous when a person is big — just as wide as they are long."

The only statement one student made was"SHORT!" The situation was adequately summed up when a student remarked: "As the tuition goes up, so do the hemlines."

It may not be too long before minis become a familiar sight on the Longwood campus. Well, girls?

Blazer Awards Highlight Annual A. A. Demonstration

By SYBIL PROUSE By accumulating the highest number of athletic points at the end of their junior year, seniors Jean Hendricks and Pat Ingram were presented the white blazer awards by the Longwood Athletic Association on September 28 at the A.A banquet.

Seniors Carol Blythe, VannieGunter, Ricky Howard, Nancy Maxey, Ginny Padgette, Joan West, and Peggy Wilkins received blue blazers for earning a required number of points in athletic activities. Participation in varsity, color, or class sports, as a manager, or as an officer or committee member of the Athletic Association contributed points toward the blazer awards.

Peggy Wilkins, president of the Athletic Association, made the blazer presentations following the A. A. demonstration and banquet. The banquet, which honored the physical education faculty members, was the finale to the two-hour demonstration.

The yearly demonstration attempted to acquaint Longwood freshmen and transfers with the various aspects of athletics at Longwood. It introduced the different sports and the various opportunities a student has to participate in them.

The demonstration stressed that participation in Longwood sports is not limited to talented players, but can be enjoyed by everyone who is interested.

Class sports are open to any student who likes taking part in them.

A loss of the tug-of-war by the freshmen to the sophomores caused the freshmen to wear their beanies for an extra week.

Encyclopedia Skit Will Introduce LC Honoraries Since their arrival on campus, the Freshmen have been introduced to many facets of college life. One of the most important of these introductions is that which will acquaint them with the academic rewards which await those achieving success in the study of their chosen fields - membership in the national honor societies. The Honors Assembly next week will accomplish this important objective, for at this time, all the honor societies will introduce themselves to the new students, indicating their purposes, scope and entrance requirements. A clever skit in which representatives from the vari-

ous honor societies will disguise themselves as encyclopedia books will comprise the medium for the dissemination of the details concerning this vital aspect of college life. Information concerning the tutorial system and the honors paper will be interwoven into the skit and presented by Dr. Lane and Mrs. Bobbitt, the Honors Council's sponsors.

It is the hope of all the honoraries that the Freshmen's acquaintance with these organizations will be inspirational, motivating them to strive for academic excellence.

Corkettes, H20 Club Prepare Active, Varied Swim Schedule

By JANET HARMON Last summer it was the Virginia Beach shuffle; last winter it was the filly dog and the bugaloo; this year it's the funky Broadway. But the latest thing to hit Longwood's campus is "the swim!" In order to be part of the "in crowd" at LC this year, you have to be part of the "swim crowd."

The Corkettes and H20 club have been busy since the opening of school getting organized and preparing for this year's activities.

The first activity under consideration is Corkette try-outs. This event will be held on October 12 at 7:00 p.m. at the pool. On Monday, October 2, a meeting was held at 7:00 p.m. in the Freshman Parlor for all those interested in trying out. Members of the Corkettes and H20 were present to tell about the club and answer any questions. The Rec Swim will be open every night from 10 to 11 p.m. for those who wish to practice. Girls from Corkettes and H20 will be present to assist swimmers in their strokes.

Qualifications for Corkettes include synchronized swimming to music, forward and backward somersaults, the Dolphin, skulling, and the Kip. Girls must also be capable of performing

successfully a front dive and a surface dive.

One set of officers conducts business for both the Corkettes and the H20 club. These are: President, Elinor Umbdenstock; Vice President, Stephanie DuRoss; Secretary, Carol Blythe; Treasurer, Barbara Carr; and Historian, Carol Skelley.

At the Athletic Association demonstration two numbers were performed from last year's water show to give an idea of what the club does. The water show, held annually in mid March, is composed of stunts which are developed by the Corkettes and H20 club.

Longwood's water sports also include competitive swimming which is composed of two divisions; the swimming team and the diving team. Tryouts for competitive swimming have already begun and will continue through Thursday, October 5. The first meet is on October 26 with Mary Baldwin at Mary Baldwin. The first home meet is on October 31 with Old Dominion.

Competitive swimming lasts through December 12, and meets Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 5:00 p.m.

According to the instructors, the only qualifications needed for this sport are potential, interest, and lots of enthusiasm!

Do They Really Play Zen Basketball At SFS? One of the "hippest" collegesgoing these days, San Francisco State, is the subject of a magazine article, published today.

In the September, "back-to-college" issue of Esquire Magaine, Herbert Wilner, ex-Yale professor who left the predictable Ivy League to teach English and Creative Writing at unpredictable SFS, takes a probing look .in Francisco's "streetcar college."

He examines the puzzling question of how a faculty and academic plant as large as SFS (which is but a part oi California's monolithic State College System) manages to keep free of bureaucratic and academic rigidity.

Wilner hypthesizes on the reasons for this freedom. "It might well be thai Si S's newness, its lack of traditions, its unpredictable and generally streetcar students, its young (acuity and its young come-and-go administrators, its compulsion to be

antiestablishment. . .it might be that this unformed character is the source of its brash and eccentric spirit."

The most contributing influence on the college, however, is probably San Francisco itself. Both students and faculty alike, says Wilner ". . .may well have decided upon San Francisco first and the college afterwards."

And there is, too, the pulling power of SFS's growing reputation as a creative and unrestrictive place. And its proximity to Haight-Ashbury!

Part of this atmosphere of freedom is reflected In a radical new program called Experimental College.

The students themselves conceived and sponsored this program, which grew out of the simple assumption that the courses a college may offer do not necessarily exhaust other possibilities.

This idea of a student-sponsored curriculum, says Esquire, flourished at SFS. Both students and interested faculty members, and even those unconnected with the college, volunteered their time to teach. Anyone could teach whatever he chose. And students could enroll as they wished. Those were the ground rules.

"The courses offered range from the respectably offbeat (Job and Faust: The Kennedy Assassination) tothesubjectless (Transcendtal Deep Meditation; Seminar in nonverbal activity) to plain fun and gains (Zen Basketball)." Some of the courses are even given official college credit. e academic departures may border on the absurd.

Class Of 71 Elects Festival Chairman, Elections Delegate Four hundred fifty new freshmen congregated in the old gym on September 27, 1967 to begin the elections of class leaders and officers. Under the direction of Becky Bartholomew, junior class president, the freshmen elected their Circus chairman.

From a group of eighteen nominees, the Class of '71 elected Missy Jordan to be the class chairman for Geist Festival. Missy will work in cooperation with the junior class chairman, Diane O'Berry. Together the classes will create skits and organize the various athletic events.

Last year the green and whites won in all five categories. They hope to achieve the same victory this year.

At this same meeting, Linda Shepard was chosen as the freshman representative to the elections committee. Linda will help the rest of the committee to print ballots and work at the polls.

This year's freshman class, though composed of only four hundred fifty students, was rated highly in comparison to their graduating classes. Ninety-two and four tenths per cent of the girls were in the top fourth of their class. Of these four hundred fifty girls, thirty-seven and two tenths per cent graduated in the top tenth of their class. The Longwood Class of 1971 also recognized three National Merit Commendations and a number of first honor graduates.

Players-Jongleurs Vary Performances; Comedy & Tragedy This year the Longwood Players and Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs are working to give the student body a marked variety of performances. It has always been the policy of the drama department to try to choose plays from different periods for each production.

However, the difference in the productions planned for this year seems more striking than ever.

The first production, on October 1921, will consist of two Greek comedies: "Trojan Women" and "Lysistrata."

"Lysistrata" tells of the women's efforts to end the Trojan War. Their tactics were rather unconventional, but this production promises to be one that Longwood will be talking about for quite a while.

The next production should bring quite a different reaction. The Players and Jongleurs will present Shakespeare's "Othello," Dec ember 7-9.

The tragic story of the ill-fated marriage between the Moor and the fair Desdemona will be an interesting production for Longwood.

Next semester, more comedy is in store for the Players: Moliere's "Miser" will be the first production.

The French play is a farce concerning an old man, his miserly ways, and how his family tries to put up with him.

The climax of this year's productions will be "The Ghost Sonata"

by August Strindberg, a Swedish writer of the nineteenth century.

Mrs. Nanene Q. Jacobson will serve as assistant professor of art. Mrs. Jacobson received her B.A. degree from Evansville College and the M.A.T. degree from Indiana University. Prior to her coming to Longwood, Mrs. Jacobson was assistant professor of art at East Carolina College.

E. Lee Land, an assistant professor of education at Longwood, received his B.A. degree from Columbia Bible CoUege and M.Ed, from the University of Virginia. Before coming to Longwood he was supervising principal of Virginia Beach Elementary School.

Miss Frieda E. Myers is an assistant professor of music. She graduated from Indiana Central College and received the M. Music degree from Indiana University. Previously she has taught music on elementary and college levels and she served two years with the Peace Corps in Ethiopia teaching English and music.

Dr. Jung B. Ra holds another new position as assistant professor of education. She holds the B.A. degree from Teachers College at Kyong Puk University, M.A. from Texas Women's University, and Ph.D. from the College of Education, University of Iowa. Dr. Ra has an extensive background of research in educational statistics and testing.

Pil-Yull Ra occupies a new position in the history and social sciences department as assistant professor of government. He is a graduate of You-Sei University and received his M.A. degree from Southern Illinois University.

Lewis R. Rutherford, a graduate of Concord College, fills a new position as assistant professor of English.

He received the M.A. degree from West Virginia University.

Ben D. Sandidge is an assistant professor of foreign languages. He holds the B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Texas.

There has also been an addition of four instructors to the faculty.

They are: James W. Crowl, history; Walter M. Hathaway, art; E. T. Noone, mathematics; and Paul G. Rouillard, art.

Pi Omega Pi, the honorary Business society on campus, will give the "Textbook Scholarship" again this year. Any Business major is eligible to apply for this $50 scholarship.

Applications which can be obtained from the Business department should be filled out and returned to Mr. Leeper or any member of Pi Omega Pi. A committee will judge the applications. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need.

More Than 800 Colleges Receive Federal Aid More than 800 colleges and universities in the United States - about one-third of the total - received Federal aid to build or remodel classrooms, laboratories, and librariesduring the year that ended last June 30, announced Wilbur J. Cohen, Under Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Grants and loans totaling about $710.7 million were made to 877 colleges, universities, and branch campuses under the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, Under Secretary Cohen said. The Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963 was the first in the series of landmark educational measures enacted during the 1960's.

"The facilities made possible by this financial investment will enrich the educational experience of thousands of students in pursuit of higher learning and our society will reap the benefits of their knowledge in the years ahead," he said.

"This Federal aid, administered by the U. S. Office of Education, helped to generate nearly $2 billion in college construction needed to meet student em oliments which are at an alltime high," Mr. Cohen said.

vr^riu7dMi^i^irsrss^'^jiM^s>!9![ Delta Zeta sisters are back "where the action is" and are now in the process of getting back in the swing of sorority and campus life. Our first week end back, September 15-18, we were delighted to have Linda Gruber, a fellow DZ sister from Colorado State College, visit us. We exchanged songs and sorority gab and had a fine time showing her a little of our life here at L. C. Concerning the business world, the DZ's had a bake sale to raise money for our philanthropic fund. From this fund our sisters are pleased to announce that we will adopt and support an underprivileged child from the United States.

Our chapter would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mrs. Garnjost, the new French professor at L. C., who attended Longwood where she was a Delta Sigma Epsilon (now Delta Zeta) and was initiated into DZ while teaching in Florida. Now back on our campus, we are proud to have Mrs. Garnjost as our sister.

In addition, almost $4 million was provided for operation of State commissions responsible for setting priorities, under Title I of the Act, for Federal grants to undergraduate schools.

'Esquire' Reports Life On Campus Changes Drastically According to a magazine article, published August 15, college living habits have changed drastically over the past few years.

On campuses throughout the U. S. boys and girls, in ever increasing numbers, are living together as couples.

This is reported in the September "back-to-college" issue of Esquire where for the first time in any major magazine four campus couples are photographed in the houses where they live openly together.

The four couples in the feature are from Harvard, Cornell, Michigan, and Berkeley.

In Cambridge, Mass., for instance, a Radcliffe coed,'67, moved off-campus with a Harvard student. The parents who knew made no objection: Harvard didn't seem to care and Radcliffe, because the coed was officially in residence at one of the dorms, didn't know.

Esquire reports the Harvard students as saying: "About a third of our friends are married, another third just live together, and the rest, well, still looking for each other."

Both students, fully named, were photographed in their Cambridge apartment for the magazine.

Another couple, living two blocks off the campus of the University of Michigan share domestic responsibilities with another twosome in a six-room apartment in Ann Arbor.

Like most college couples, Esquire finds they have a casual relationship: marriage is not really a question yet.

The magazine, in its report on the new roommates, recalls that the traditional college roommate always had to be a 280-pound bathless behemoth. If one tried to sleep, he snored; if one tried to study he played records, and by the end of the year a person really learned how to hate.

Today, the love generation is apparently changing all this. As the Cornell students put it, neither knows how long they will live under the same roof: marriage is only one of many possibilities.

Varsity Hockey Team Defeats RPI, McDonnell, Tibbs Score Six Points It was a warm sunny day,September 30 when the L.C. Varsity Hockey Team faced R.P.I, in Richmond on Hotchkiss Field.

Longwood's team had only been selected September 25, so they had only a week of practicing together as a team behind them.

The game started at 2:00 p.m. Both teams had a hard time getting started, thus making the game a defensive one at first. However, Longwood started first on the ofiensive drives later in the first half. Time and again L.C. had the ball at the opponent's goal but just could not get the ball in the cage. L.C. had trouble keeping the ball from hitting their feet.

Just before half-time, after a continuous drive at R.P.I.'s goal cage, Peggy Wilkins scooped the ball in, making the half-time score L. C. 1R.P.I. 0.

The second half was unlike the first in that L.C. seldom allowed R.P.I, to get past the 50-yard line except an occasional lone wing who was quickly tackled by the defensive backs. In the last minutes of the second half Becky Bondurant scored for L.C, after a lovely battle with the goalkeeper. Soon afterwards, Judy Nevitt scooped one in, making the final score 3-0.

The second game was not like the first, as L.C. took to the offensive right away and practically ran off with the whole game. In the whole game, R.P.I, was allowed only twice to see the inside of L.C.'s 25 yard line, and for so short a time that it almost was not worth mentioning.

In tlic first half, Sally Heilman scored, followed by Chris McDonnell, who later scored two more, and Jo Newberry put one in. The front line

The second half was played mostly in R.P.I.'s striking circle. Jane Tibbs put the ball in the cage four times (but only three counted). The game ended 8-0, L.C.'s favor.

The "Rotunda" congratulates L.C.'s Varsity Hockey Team on its first game, and urges the students to attend the home game, this Saturday against William and Mary.

Mrs. Bobbitt, the coach, said that this team offers a great deal of potential, and after the first game, it certainly was exhibited that they have put it to good use.

On Saturday, September 30, two members of Longwood's Social Science department, Dr. Lane and Mr. Rubley, attended the executive committee meeting of the Virginia Geographical Society held at Charlottesville. The primary purpose of this meeting was to plan the geography program to be submitted at the meeting of the Virginia Educational Association this fall.

It is interesting to note that several of our faculty members have held executive positions in geographical organizations. Dr. Lane was the past president of the Virginia Geographical Society and editor of its publication, "The Virginia Geographer;" Mr. Mag nusson has also held these posts. Mr. Rubley is the state coordinator for the National Council for Geographic Education.

NEWMAN'S

Greetings Class of '71 and welcome back to the old Pros!

Lots of things happened on campus during the summer which we can take advantage of now. I'm sure you've all heard about or bowled on the new bowling alleys in the Lankford Building. It's a good way to release some of the tensions and frustrations built up due to Studying, Studying, Studying.

Remember, your dates can bowl too, for the small price of 35? a game.

For relaxation there is also a ping pong table in the new games room.

The Iler Tennis Courts by Her Gymnasium are open for your use along with the Barlow courts which were resurfaced this past summer. Take advantage of these facilities - they're for YOU. I would like to extend a warm welcome to a new instructor in the Physical Education Dept. Perhaps some of you who are taking a course in Modern Dance already know that I mean Miss Bowman. We're happy to have you.

It's also good to see Miss Heintz back this year. She completed studies for her Doctorate which she received from the State University of Iowa.

In case some of you hadn't heard,

in the morning and afternoon. The coaches were all English, and most had played on national teams.

Even though everyone was out of shape, as the sore muscles demonstrated, this week at hockey camp was most valuable. These girls will soon demonstrate what they learned as they begin what should be a winning hockey season.

Fall Council; Alumnae Meet, Make Fund Plans The Longwood College Alumnae fall council was held Friday evening, September 29, and Saturday morning, September 30.

The meeting included two business sessions and local chapter and committee reports. Tentative plans for the association's annual fund solicitation were presented by Mrs. Robert B. Burger of Farmville, first vice-president. Mrs. Charles W. Appich, Jr., of Richmond, association president, presided at the meeting.

Also attending the meeting were college President Fred O. Wygal, B. Calvin Bass of Rice, representing the Board of Visitors, and other members of the administration.

Dr. Blackwell, having taught at Longwood four years, stated his preference of schools. "Co-educational schools," he began, "actually have better classroom response. Girls, especially the Southern ones, tend to be rather passive. They do not question as extensively as boys, and tend to accept the professor's statement as the truth, regardless of what is said.

Boys, on the other hand, tend to question more often. Now, in the co-ed situation, the boys could challenge the professors and the girls would benefit.

I don't know why, but it seems that those girls reared in the South feel that it is somehow not feminine to challenge or take a defensive stand in a classroom. Perhaps they feel that it is not quite proper to be too intelligent and challenge the male role in America. I can't quite tell."

Both Dr. and Mrs. Blackwell have a variety of outside interests, including bridge, tennis, football games and literary studies for Mr. Blackwell, and art and sewing for his wife, who is presently enrolled in an art course here at school. Mrs. Blackwell also does frequent substitute work here.

In addition to his classroom tasks, M r. Blackwell will take part in Longwood's Institute of Southern Culture, lecturing on his paper on the "Excentricities in Southern Literature."

At present, he is the advisor to the Gyre, Longwood's literary magazine and to Lambda Iota Tau, the honorary English and Language fraternity. He has been a student government advisor for the past two summers and now is co-advising with his wife for the Episcopalian Canterbury Club. He recently received his doctorate at U. Va. on his dissertation onJohnDryden: "Dryden's Comic Formulas."

Asked as to whether he would remain on Longwood's campus, Dr. Blackwell promptly said "yes." Mrs. Blackwell claimed that her preference for remaining in Virginia was based on the weather. "The climate here is just so wonderful!"

Test Dates For Notional Teachers Examinations Announced

College seniors preparing to teach school may take the National Teacher Examinations on any of the three different test dates announced today by Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit, educational organization which prepares and administers this testing program.

New dates for the testing of prospective teachers are: February 3, April 6, and July 6, 1968. The tests will be given at nearly 500 locations throughout the United States, ETS said.

A Bulletin of Information containing a list of test centers, and information about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form, may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel departments, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Box 911, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey O8540.

Longwood Financial Request Reflects Enrollment Increase Longwood College budget-making for the 1968-70 biennium has produced a financial document of $8,313,415 for operation and maintenance outlays for the two-year period.

This is about a 47 per cent increase over appropriations for the current two-year period, but the college fixes the need for the hike in terms of anticipated expanding enrollments.

Virginia institutions of higher education are now filing with the State Division of the Budget requests for state appropriations from the General Fund for the requisite operating periods. Longwood will not need the total of its budgeted figure in state funds, since such charges as dormitory fees will raise an appreciable part of the money.

Construction The college also has before the Commonwealth a request for $5,608,555 for capital construction funds for the 1968-70 biennium. Both operating and capital outlay budgets now wiU be subject to state officials' and legislators' scrutiny and approval.

Longwood's enrollment of 1,600 last session is due to reach 1,800 in 1969, jump another 400 by September, 1970 and total 4,000 by 1980.

Special funds would meet more than half of our 1968-70 running expenses.

They would provide $4,310,695 and the general fund would be called on for only $4,022,770 under the two-year proposal.

In the capital outlay budget, revenue

bonds would furnish nearly$1.6miUion and the general fund about $4 miUion for construction.

Needs Fixed

Longwood believes a major improvement is essential in its library to bring it up to standard. The proposed library operating expenditures total $362,450, or about $150,000 more than this biennium for books, equipment and personnel.

The projected costs for instruction for regular and summer sessions in the two years starting next July total $3,474,080, an increase of more than $902,000 above the current biennium and the largest general category in the budget proposal.

Required further development and use of sophisticated educational techniques, equipment and physical plant equipment necessitates both larger sums to obtain the specialists to operate and maintain the equipment and a more rapid replacement of it, the college observes.
