Yuletide Spirit Prevails At Longwood Christina Torre, Madonna;

Angel Presents Halo To Child In Pageant

Symbolizes Christian Ideals Maria Cristina Torre Garza, the Mexican exchange student from Mexico City, has been chosen to take the part of the Madonna in the Christmas pageant Wednesday night.

"Cristi," as she is called by her teachers and friends, replied when she heard that she would assume this honor sdid, "I really can't believe it!" She said she hadn't even written home to her family (well, she did tell her boyfriend, Roldolfo!) that she was competing for the role because she didn't think she would win. But the votes counted Friday night proved she was wrong.

The election of the Madonna isn't an easy process. A committee of the Y.W.C.A. meets and nominates those seniors they feel hold high Christian ideals, and a character similar to Mary, the mother of Christ. This year eighteen seniors were nominated. The Y cabinet then holds a primary election that limited the number to seven.

These seven girls were then placed on the ballot for the entire student body to vote.

The students were reminded that the Madonna was not chosen for her physical appearance, but instead for her spiritual beauty. The Y sponsors the election because it gives every student the opportunity to reflect upon one girl they feel has a deeply re-

ligious relationship with God and a genuine concern for her fellow man.

Cristi comes from a very close family. She has been brought up to share with her four brothers and sisters.

Her father manages a store in Mexico City and often Cristi, along with her other brothers and sisters, is called on to help.

This year is Cristi's second year as one of our foreign students. Since her arrival last year, she has made many friends and participated in several school activities. She is an active member of the Spanish Club, Newman Club, and Y.W.C.A. She works as a Language Lab Assistant. She was a "Hot Tomato" in the Red and White circus this year. She was also one of the Junior Class representatives to May Court last year.

Cristi will be returning to Mexico in June to finish up her education.

She hopes to be an elementary school teacher with special emphasis on English. Certainly her stay in the States has taught her much English and a lot about our customs. But Cristi has taught us a lot about Mexico too. She has given us all a rich and rewarding experience in getting to know her.

We are all looking forward to seeing her on the stage tonight in the most sacred role any girl could ever portray.

C'hristi Torre, the Madonna, was chosen by the students on the basis Of the demonstration of Christian ideals.

around the Christmas tree, don't be too surprised, for it's the Freshman Commission. This year's Commission is the first to wear costumes, and they just may set a precedent at Longwood. The Freshman Commission has two purposes, to build the Longwood Christmas spirit and to help the "Y" with its fund-raising drives. So far, the Freshman Commission has decorated the Christmas tree in the Rotunda and is having Rotunda sings every night before dinner until Christmas.

They were also responsible for the Tuesday night banquet and the skit after the banquet, "Once Upon an Elf." In the spring the Commission wiU be responsible for the YWCA fund-raising drive.

The officers of the Commission are: Lucy Cunningham, the President, and an elementary education major from Lake Jackson, Texas; Mary Lou Gilman, the Vice-President, a sociology major from Richmond; Pat Cloonan, the Secretary-Treasurer, a prenursing student from Waynesboro, and Mimi Woosley, the Projects Chairman, an elementary education major from Richmond.

The other girls in the Commission are: Bonnie Davis, an elementary education major from Petersburg; Ann Gulick, a French major from Aldie, Va.; Mary King Coleman, an elementary education major from Martinsville; Susan Fox, a prenursing student from Richmond; Cindy Jamison, a business major from Roanoke; Bren(Continued on Page 4)

"The Halo," the play being used for the annual YWCA Christmas pageant will be presented tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium.

In the play, a little angel, played

by Sheery Matthews, earns his halo with much difficulty and then he presents it as his gift to the Christ child.

Other characters include Debbie Denver as St. Peter, Sue Leviner as Gabriel, and Phyllis Fergusen, Patsy Herring, Fay Shifflet, Gay Bosseriii.ui, and Candy Dickenman as angels.

The play will end with the nativity scene in which the Madonna will be presented. In the nativity scene, Dot Chappell will be Joseph; Linda Lilliston, Wanda Spicer, and Trisha Spillan will be wise men; and Susan Jordan, Jane Edwards, and Stuart Windle will be shepherds.

Linda Harper, director and narrator of the play, says "The Halo" was chosen because it is different from the traditional nativity scene which has been presented for the past several years. While the pageant will have a lighter tone than usual, it still brings out the spiritual aspect of Christmas.

Incident Points Out

Letters To Editor

Student Suggests Reform In Handling Social Violations

Incongruity Of Regulations By this time the recent Judicial Board decision concerning the suspension of twelve girls has been discussed, dissected, analyzed, and evaluated to the point of disgust When any twleve girls are suspended at one time, many people — students and faculty alike — will naturally respond to the loss of friends, students, and classmates.

After the first shock of the recent decision, the anger that arose on campus served, at least, to remind us that we're still alive. Now, however, the attitude seems to be, why not let it die; we're tired of being mad. Though it is painfully clear that no power on campus will reverse or amend the decision, this is not the time to "Let it die."

The dissension among students concerning the actual decision arose because of the assignment of academic punishment for a social offense The question is simply, Why deprive a student of the cost of, and time spent in, a semester, when it seems to be unnecessary' There is no need here to analyze this argument, though that opinion is shared by this writer Our concern with this incident is that it points up certain areas of weakness in our present student government and in our social regulations.

First, this incident brings to light this fact our student government is due for o revamping If the method used in this case is indicative of the system, how effectively can the student government be serving the STUDENTS3 The Honor Code, upon which the entire system rests, provides the answer, which is an emphatic "it isn't " "The accused is always considered innocent unless proven guilty" How innocent were these twelve students presumed to be? Even though the girls in question were clearly guilty, they should have been approached with evidence with the respect that was due them as students of the college Second, it is time to take an obiective look at some of the social regulations, and this entails more than a "maybe someday" attitude toward the purchasing of 3.2 beer within the city limits of Farmville The Honor Code states that students "must keep in mind at all times that they are representatives of the college wherever they are and that their conduct brings credit or discredit to the college ." Is the image of Longwood more discredited by a group of girls drinking in the dormitory than by a cabful of "Longwood Ladies" invading Leo's and "soaking the suds" until curfew? It points up a serious incongruity in our social regulations that we allow drinking in public but condemn it when done privately Perhaps all of this is unnecessary It may be time to forget the incident, to "let it die." Anyone who feels this way is likely to be doing so with more blessings that she suspects, though probably without those of her classmates Keep the same regulations; continue with the same system, but don't overlook one fact: Though it works, it's not necessarily right — G A. M.

Flower Claus, Hippies Plan Dandelion s Trip It was Christmas Eve in the HaightAsbury district of San Francisco. All the good little hippies were gathered in the park awaiting the "happenIng" ol Flower Claus! Their Dowei mil smoke filled the air.

I'll plant you in Virginia." Dandelion, restored to his usual blooming self, joined the Lovein in the park.

"New York Times9 Discusses Controversial "Marat/Sade ??

The following are excerpts from the review of "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat by the Inmates of the Asylum of Clarenton under the direction of the Marquis de Sade" by Bosley Crowther that appeared in the February 23, 1967 issue of the New York TIMES. This is the first film of the newlyformed Film Society of Longwood sponsoied by Lambda Iota Tau. The film, popularly known as "Marat/Sade" will be shown at the Farmville State Theater January 9 and 10.

Those who have seen a stage performance of Mr. Weiss's hypothetical account of the acting of a play about the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat by the inmates of the Clarenton insane asylum outside Paris in 1808 know that the 'garb' of this experience is in the illusion it gives of actually watching a piece of strange play-acting by a gaggle of lunatics.

Included in the experience is the strong stimulation it gives the mind through its macabre statement and enactment of polemical argument - the excitement that comes from confrontation of the revolutionary Marat as the apostle of social improvement and cynical individualist, the Marquis de Sade.

These arguments. . . are thrashed out in the midst of a chorus of responsive lunatics whom we see and feel reacting to them pretty much as we feel normal people should, except that lunatics impress us with their treachery and instability.

These may be crazy people, but they are also terrifyingly coriect in their maniacal shrieks against injustice and in their mockery of cant. The only thing is, it's mighty eerie to be so close to them.

Mr. Brook takes us right into the midst of this congress of rebellious and dangerous lunatics. He takes us right into the steam bathhouse of ghastly Clarenton, where this play, put on by the Marquis de Sade, is erratically performed . . .

And it is the proximity to the sleepwalking girl who plays Corday as she follows De Sade's directions in brandishing the knife with which she finally fixes Marat's wagon that makes us squirm a little more in our chairs . . .

Some details are .more emphatic on film than on stage, some are less emphatic. The persistent pursuit of Charlotte by the aristocratic sex maniac seems to be toned down a little, though the Priapean aspect is still there. The Stygian nightmare of Marat is much more vividly portrayed, with clouds of steam filling the chamber, in which ghostly bats appear; and Marat does rise completely naked from the bath of this dream.

Characters are: Jean-Paul played

by Ian Richardson, Marquis de Sade played by Patrick Magee, Charlotte Corday played by Glenda Jackson.

The student body is urged to submit the names of any films that they would like to have shown. Fill in the following box and put it in Mr. Rouillard's mail box.

Dear Miss Hummer: This letter is in regard to the article printed in issue number 8, 6 December, of THE ROTUNDA, headed "Students Discuss Weekend Martiages: Weigh the Advantages, Disadvantages." Specifically I refer to the comment of Judy Hall Parker, quoted, "The vast majority of the girls at Longwood have no purpose; they don't know why they're here." I take great affront to this comment, for it is an error of the first caliber.

The student body of Longwood College, married or not, (and I point out, the vast majority of the students here are unmarried) would not be here were they not pursuing their purpose.

Their purpose in itself is Longwood College, higher education, advancement of the self, development of the intiividual. College is not like high school — required attendance until sixteen years or so — it is an enibaikatmn one makes of one's own free will. It la I dream to most high school graduates, a dream they are making come true.

Certainly there are students here who do not take their college life as seriously as they should, but to say they are without purpose is a remark made in ignorance without thought. Perhaps Mrs. Parker had no purpose here before her marriage, and found with her wedding vows that she realized her full potential as a student, but every other student at this institution realizes her purpose here when she first enters. She realizes it when she applies fin admission.

I feel it necessary to stand up for the students here - all of whom are responsible, through their purp. for carrying Longwood College on into the woi Id, and for marking th< U of higher education while on the campus.

Most .sine.rely, Suzan Woltz

PrltSS

I must be under the mistaken impression that the primary purpose of college is to provide an ACADEMIC education. However, several members of our student body were recently suspended for violation of the social regulation governing alcoholic beverages on campus. This is not a violation of our honor code nor any academic matter. Therefore, it should be treated as a social offense.

If our social activities should not take precedence over our studies, why then should punishment for a social violation superced the need for an academic education? I think the conscientious concern over this matter expressed by members of the student body and faculty is well founded. This action clearly indicates a stress on social behavior. Indeed the violation must be punished, but any discipline for a social offense should be a limitation on social activities, not on academics! A reform in our method of handing social offenses is definitely needed. I would then propose that these girls should have been put on social probation, and would also propose that any future case involving drinking on campus be treated in this same manner. Thus the ACADEMIC life, which has not been violated, would be allowed to continue, and the SOCIAL life, which has been violated, would be the one that is restricted. In this way Longwood could fulfill its primary duty of providing an academic education and secondarily be able to regulate social behavior.

Sincerely, Carolyn Cummins South Cunningham 219

Varsity SwimTeam Scores Fourth In Six-Way Meet Saturday, December 9, LC's Varsity Swim Team attended a six-way swim meet at WesthamptOO College. The participating schools in the tournament and the results of the competing meet were as follows: William & Mary — first, Westhampton — second, Old Dominion-third, Longwood — fourth, and Madison - fifth. Although Longwood did not place in the top three, the girls had a good showing, and placed in several of the individual events. The medley relay, composed of Carol Umlxlenstock, Stephanie DuHoss, Carol Sanders, and JoAnn May, placed third in the tournament. This event ' i . pe< idly exciting as Longwood held first place until the swimming of the free style. With keen c mpetltiOD and all teams driving full

strength, LC's team broke through with a first place in the breast stroke with Stephanie DuRoss, and fifth in the diving event, also claimed byStephanie.

There's been lots of excitement around the pool lately. The H20 Club and Corkettes have been busy as bees working on their stunts for the upcoming Water Show, held annually in mid-March. Several new Corkettes were selected during try-outs this fall.

They are as follows: Sandy Allen, Francis Bain, Ann Bishop, Kathy Meteer, Page Nance, Ann Sprint, Delight Swann, Ann Sybert, Carol Umbdenstock, and Kay Webb. Numbers are presently being assigned and H20 members are assisting Corkettes in their stunts.

Best of Luck to the Varsity Basketball team who will play at Bridgewater College tomorrow. Sock it to 'em, team!

With the holiday season coming up, this last week will be filled with two well-known items: 1. parties and 2. tests (notice the item that rates sec-

ond - well, in popularity anyway)!

It will be a relief to go home and get a little rest.

I can't wait to dig into the ham and turkey and all the other goodies that go along with the holidays, and I'm sure you all feel the same way.

Just remember not to eat so much that you can't bend over to tie the laces in your tennis shoes because Class and Color Volleyball will be coming up soon after our return.

Here's hoping that you all really rack up a good score with Old Saint Nick. See you in 1968!!

Longwood Bows To Old Dominion Drops Season Opener, 67-53 As the buzzer sounded toendL.C.'s first Varsity Basketball game, our girls found themselves behind 67 to 53, in what proved to be a high scoring contest for both Old Dominion and Longwood.

The first quarter was hectic as the girls matched basket for basket. Then

O.D. slowly began to pull ahead and remained in this position throughout the last three quarters of the game.

Three of our players put a combined total of 41 points through the hoop, but the O.D. forwards sank even more. The O.D. offense seemed to get their passes in close to the basket

The poll was taken by Dr. George Gallup's American Institute of Public Opinion for The Reader's Digest; results are published in the mi aSUV ' November issue, out October 26.

For all the outcry about drugs on campus, a majority - fifty-one per cent - of the students questioned said that they did not even know a single student who had tried marijuana or LSD. And they estimated with reasonable accuracy that only about four per cent of those on their own campus lad tried drugs.

However, when asked how many of tiu'ii tolloi collegian tv rosi the nation used drugs, the students Interviewed jumped their estimates to a very high 13 per cent.

Accompanying the poll is an article exploding some of the myths about "mind-expanding" drugs such as LSD. Author Dr. Donald Louria, an associate professor at Cornell University Medical College and president of the New York State Council on Drug Addiction, says there is no evidence to support claims that LSD increases creativity. More likely the opposite is true, he stati .

He notes for example that in one study a group of accomplished pianists d under LSD's influence. Although each thought he played superbly, all reacted with distaste when the recording was played back after the LSD luii! won, to the claim made by Dr. Timotliv Leturjl and others that LSD is an aphrodisiac, Dr. Louria says that it is "totally spurious."

"While an LSD hallucination may nave ' Ht," lie writes, "the drug is, if anything, an anti■.phrodlsiac," Against this background, it is encouraging that tin' students questioned in the Gallup Poll were not only rein tant to try drugs themselves, but icit who were "on" mari|uani D were "lost, mixed up, sick."

In the fourth quarter the defense switched to the man-to-man strategy for a short time. The L.C. forwards had some difficulty in rebounding the shots they missed, but Lynne Coleman and Carolyn Thompson intercepted quite a few O.D. passes at the center line to help the situation.

After the game O.D. treated the Longwood team to dinner at a nearby restaurant, and soon our girls were on their way back to Farmville. Despite the loss the girls' spirits were cheery during the long bus ride home. The approaching holiday season showed its effect as Christmas carols headed the list of the usual singing.

Literature Honorary Adds 15 Members The Eta Theta chapter of Lambda Iota Tau, the literature honor society at Longwood, held its fall initiation ceremony on November 15.

Fifteen new members were initiated at this time. As requirements, these students are in the upper thirtyfive per cent of their class and have an overall B average in their literature courses. Each has presented a paper thai she has written concerning literature and has had it accepted. The new members are Betty McKinney, Linda Anne Hunter, Jinx Washington, Elizabeth Hill, Janet Sullivan, Becky Bartholomew, Linda Bowers, Nancy Morton, Sandra Johnson, Mary McKeever, Stella Bryant, Ann Moseley, MegPherson, Joan Tice, and Barbara Lyman.

For the past three years, Mrs. Nell Griffin of the Home Economics department, has worked on the Governor's Committee on Emergency Resource Management Plan.

The purpose of the committee was to review products that are available in Virginia, housing, salary demands and needs in order to determine how such needs could be met and the economy of the state returned to normal as quickly as possible following a national emergency such as a nuclear attack.

The first step in the planning V to see what was available in Virginia, those materials that would not have to be brought in from other states. This led to the recognition of what we h td in surplus to let another state have and what other states had that we would need. Transportation facilities were also involved. It was necessary to study the problem of moving products within the state and outside of the state. Another problem was food rationing. The committee recognized that during the last wai there was uneven rationing.

Therefore, the Governor's Committee worked on stabilizing food distribution.

It was based on the day's minimum nutritional requirements. The discovery was tested both in committee and in stores with customers and clerks as administrators. The results were satisfactory.

Other problems the committee discussed and worked on concerned fallout shelters, how people will return to the work world, stabilizing rent, and means of housing refugees within community areas.

The findings of the Committee have been printed, tested, corrected, and are now ready for presentation in final form to Governor Godwin.

Mrs. Nell H. Griffin has been invited to be present Wednesday, December 13, in the Senate Chambers of the State Capitol for the formal presentation of the Emergency Resources Management Plan to the Governor.

Mrs. Griffin said that "one of the hardest things in working with the committee has become the slogan, 'We hope this work will never have to be used.' But in the event that it has to be used, it is comforting to know that Governor Godwin has a plan pointing toward the reestablishment of communities within Uie state."
