Richard Nixon Last spring the student body at Longwood voted overwhelmingly for Richard Nixon in Choice '68, Time's national collegiate presidential poll Could this be an indication that Mr Nixon's views on key issues more nearly reflect the attitudes and thinking of Longwood ladies? Like Mr Nixon, does not Longwood give the Viet Nam War top priority in the area of foreign policy3 We all want a swift and honorable end to the war. Mr Nixon advocates a policy of de-Americanization of the military effort — giving more responsibility to the South Vietnamese and gradually withdrawing American troops. None of us can dispute the inequities of the present system of Army induction Upon de-escalation of the war, Mr. Nixon proposes the creation of an all-volunteer army. Future wars will require a smaller number of soldiers more highly trained in the use of nuclear weapons or in the area of guerilla warfare The draft would supplement these forces in time of an emergency Like Mr Nixon, in the area of domestic policy, Longwood qives first priority to the question of law and order (in Choice '68 poll). We have seen a growth in crime with the continual weakening of peace forces Mr Nixon urges that the balance between peace forces and criminal forces be restored. Crime, riots, and civil disorders will decline only after there is a change of attitude among the American people and only after there is increased respect for the law and its enforcement by the administration A Nixon Agnew Administration would be conservative in nature. It would seek Republican solutions to Democratic dilemmas Existing programs would be improved upon or abolished Laws in existence would be enforced or changed constitutionally Private enterprise would play a mapr role in solving unemployment and urban problems Finally, power would be transferred from the Washington bureaucracy to the states where it belongs. Could a "Nixon's the One" button or an "I'm for Milhous" button be considered part of a Longwood lady's standard dress3 Hopefully this will prove true in next week's mock election
George Wallace George C Wallace is the candidate with the courage to speak the truth He does not avoid the issue Wallace has stated that he "will give moral support to the policemen of this country and to the firemen of the country " He will stand behind them because they are "the thin line between complete anarchy in the streets and the physical safety of our person " Wallce supports the theory of states rights and local government He emphasized the fact that he "recommends that the states of the Union continue to determine the policies of their domestic institutions themselves On the Viet Nam situation Wallace has stated that he is willing to stay in Viet Nam and win, but this victory should be with the conventional weapons of warfare Wallace also remarked that "these few people today who are advocating sedition and raising money and clothes and supplies foi the Viet Conq ought to be dealt with, as traitors " Wallace is well qualified to lead the American people Between 1945 and 1968 Wallace has served as an assistant Alabama Attorney General o m< t the State Legislature, a Circuit Judge, and Governor He has put Alabama on a firm financial basis and develop ed a surplus in the state treasury He has created a new university, fourteen junior colleges fifteen trade schools, and raised teachers' salones in Alabama Wallace will lead America forward America needs courage America needs George C Wallace

Hubert Humphrey In 20 years as a U S senator and as Vice-President, Hubert H. Humphrey has compiled a liberal, creative public record He has pioneered, or vigorously championed, bold programs in virtually every legislative sphere — social security and medicare, the war on poverty at home and abroad, federal aids to education, lobs and manpower training, world peace, and disarmament. It has been said, indeed, that nearly every piece of progressive legislation enacted over the past 20 years bears the Humphrey imprint Mr. Humphrey believes it possible for the United States to begin withdrawing our troops from Vietnam as the South Vietnamese are proving themselves capable of defending their country alone. Also, he feels a new government by the process of free elections is needed in South Vietnam He has spoken about the necessity for a broad and intensive program of land reform so that the people of Vietnam have a greater stake in their government. Born in a South Dakota village, Mr. Humphrey is closest to rural America. He has devoted much of his public career to improving the lot of American farmers and related food industries He, also, understands the problems of the working men and women of America. Mr Humphrey has gained much labor support because of his ready sympathy and keen understanding of the problems plaguing labor. A believer in human rights, Mr Humphrey wants all men, black and white, rich and poor, to be considered equally in America. He has always been an advocate of civil rights and individual pride in America; and, he promises to remain so by helping to further these causes Because he has such pride in America, he advocates conservation of America's resourses He wants to create Regional Pollution Authorities which would be funded by the states and localiaties covered and which would be authorized to receive and administer federal antipollution funds He also believes that efficient pollution control, in order to be effective, should be part of our daily lives. Finally, Mr. Humphrey believes in lowering the voting age to 18 He feels that today's youth is very important to the future as well as the present If you would be interested in finding out more about Mr Hubert Humphrey and his campaign, we invite you to attend the next meeting of the Young Democrats

Lynne Rachal Represents LC In Harvest Bowl; Travels To Roanoke For Festivities, Fun By PATTY KINGSLEY At the annual Harvest Bowl festivities, held on Friday, October 11, Lynne Rachal represented Longwood College as one of the eight princesses. The court is composed of princesses from eight women's colleges in Virginia, a maid of honor, and the Harvest Bowl queen. The eight girls' schools from which the princesses are chosen include Longwood, Madison, Radford, Mary Baldwin, Randolph-Macon, Sweetbriar, Hollins, and Roanoke Woman's College. As Virginia Military Institure played the University of West Virginia this year in the Harvest Bowl game, the Maid of Honor represented UWV. The Queen of the Harvest Bowl was Miss Virginia, Miss Cherie Suzanne Davis. Lynne was selected to represent Longwood by a faculty committee, on the basis of scholarship, participation in school activities, and appearance. Lynne, who hails from Richmond, is an active, congenial senior who has shown a sincere interest in many of Longwood's activities, while maintaining a high scholastic average. A member of Geist, she is also treasurer of Panhellenic Council, first vicepresident of ASA sorority, treasurer of Honors' Council, and a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, Pi Gamma Mu, and Kappa Delta PI. All of the preparations, made by the Junior League of Roanoke who sponsored the Harvest Bowl, culminated in a full day of activities for the Harvest Bowl Court on October 11. They attended a luncheon in the Miller and Rhoads Tearoom in Roanoke where the girls met their escorts, cadets from VMI. The court also had the pleasure of meeting the star of the television program, "Gentle Ben," Miss Beth Brickell. After the relaxing and enjoyable lunch, the girls and their escorts went out to the football stadium to practice for the half-time activities of the game, to be held that night. In past years, the Harvest Bowl Parade has been held on Saturday afternoon, but since the festivities

were scheduled for Friday, this year, the parade was a pregame activity, which circled around the stadium. At the half-time of the game, the red carpet was rolled out for the ten lovely members of the court who wore long white gowns. As the colors for the Harvest Bowl this year were red, white, and blue, the princesses wore red capes, the maid of honor wore a blue cape, and the queen wore silver. Besides the introduction of the Harvest Bowl Court, other half-time activities included entertainment by the University of West Virginia band, in
addition to a firework's display. The game ended, with UWV the victors, the court proceeded with their escorts to a midnight supper party held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Fishman, of Peakwood. The girls mixed company with such dignitaries as Lt. Governor Pollard, and the mayor of Roanoke. Even now, Lynne still speaks of the Harvest Bowl with much enthusiasm, "I wish everybody could have gone - it was a ball. The princesses weren't competing against each other - it was just fun for all of us."

The many hours of preparation were clearly seen in the production of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," presented here at Longwood on October 17, 18, 19. Katherina, the eldest daughter of Baptista, a rich gentleman of Padva, was considered to be mean, hateful, and cursed, in other words, a shrew. Bianca, Katherina's younger sister, on the other hand, was very beautiful and had many suitors. Since Katherina was not married, Bianca was forced to remain unwed until a mate for her sister could be found. Bianca's suitors therefore took it upon themselves to find a suitable husband. Finally, Petruchio, a gentleman of Verona, realizing the wealth of Katherina's father and the money he would receive, agreed to take Katherina off her father's hands and thus free Bianca. The main action is centered around Katherina and her husband Petruchio. How could anyone possibly live with such a cruel, hateful, unloving woman like Katherina? In this play, one sees how Petruchio is able to "tame the shrew." The two main character parts were played exceptionally well, although Katherina did not seem to be as shrewish as she should have been. Her final speech had a falseness about it, mainly because her performance earlier in the play didn't emphasize enough her shrewish qualities. In addition, it was quite evident that some of the minor characters were miscast. Instead of giving a supporting performance, they
tended to let their parts drag. However, such characters, as Hortensio and Tranio helped to keep the tone of the play light and comical by their excellent portrayals. Bianca failed in the attempt to depict a sweet and lovable character. A major fault in the play lay in the fact that much of the humor contained in this Shakespearean drama was lust entirely. Whether this was because of poor acting, or just a bad audience is not clear.
There were, however, some good points to be recognized. None of the players seemed to have any trouble remembering their lines, and this was very praiseworthy. The props and scenery were quite adaptable to eacn scene of the play while the costumes were original and suitable for the time the play depicted. The production of "The Taming of the Shrew" proved to be very enjoyable evening entertainment.

Richmond Team In Rain Although hampered by a muddy field, the varsity hockey team defeated Richmond Club Saturday 3-0. Junior Betty Layne did a good job at right wing replacing Jane Tibbs who was in Richmond taking tests. The Longwood ladies scored early in the first half and controlled the ball most of the game. Center forward Barbara SneUings scored in the first goal after a short corner taken by wing PhyUis Carter. Later in the first half, center half back Betty King drove

hard through the middle and when a defensive player tried to clear the baU out, it went over for Longwood's second score. Barbara again scored in the second half by taking a pass from halfback SandiNaylor who brought the ball down the field. This victory was Longwood's third straight and they have not been scored on due to the outstanding defensive play of the backfield, Cathy Hass, Jane Richardson, Sandi Naylor, Jane Erdman, and Betty King.

Technicolor Bowling Comes To Longwood, Free Cokes Given Technicolor bowling came to Longwood Saturday night. Bowlers were trying for red-andgreen spares, purple-orange-and-blue strikes and just about everything else in between, as Log-Pins had their campus premiere in the Lankford Building bowling alley. Free cokes were offered to those who scored better than 148 in the new bowling game, played with colored ten pins. One bowler, Kay Harvey, scored better than 148 twice, and there were four other winners, according to Vince Rickman, assistant recreation area manager. Bowling with Log-Pins is harder than bowling with regulation white pins, says recreation area manager Don Sequin. According to Mr. Sequin, who introduced Longwood bowlers to the new game, colored pins impair the bowler's ability to judge pin distances. When a new deck of pins sets down, he adds, it tends to unsettle the bowler's nerves when he or she sees the colors rearranged. Mr. Sequin hopes to offer Log-Pin bowling as a regular activities building feature, but free cokes may not be given away every week. Bowlers winning cokes Saturday were: Kay Harvey, scoring 155and 152; Joan Lawter, scoring 148; Janis McMahon, with 150; Judy Old, 150; and Sandy Harris, 164.

U. Of Michigan Researchers Survey Undergrad Study Units (I.P.) - Two University of Michigan professors have been awarded a grant of $46,075 by the Carnegie Corp. of New York for inter-university research on residential undergraduate study units. The project's co-directors, Theodore M. Newcomb, professor of sociology and associate director of the University's Residential College, and Donald R. Brown, professor of psychology and research associate at the U-M Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, have already collaborated with researchers and officials at several universities which have launched residential colleges. "The larger universities are concerned about impersonality, academic anonymity, and alienation on the part of students, and, in general, about the bureaucratic effects of rapid growth and enormous size," Newcomb and Brown said. "In common with some small colleges, they have caught a glimpse of the possibilities of educational innovation and experimentation that are opened up by the creation of new and semi-autonomous units within a centrally administered unit. Five schools are now participating in the study, although it is hoped that as many as 10 others will eventually join. The original five include Michigan, the University of Kansas, the State University of Florida, and the University of California at San Diego and Santa Cruz. During the first year of the fiveyear program, data from the five schools will be processed at theU-M's Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. This information concerns the number of students in each univer-
sity's program, their physical "isolation" from the rest of the university, and the autonomy of the administration as well as facts about the curricula and faculty. Raw summaries of the processed data will be sent to the five institutions. "We are interested not only in information about the individual residential colleges," Brown said, "but also in comparisons. In order to understand the effects upon the students of residentially based programs, we need to know what those programs and their university settings are like." After the raw summaries have been distributed, a more detailed analysis of the data will begin. This will involve comparisons within each school and between schools. In addition, information will be collected from and about students entering the colleges in the fall of the current academic year, 1968-69. The next three years of the research program, Brown said, would be devoted to collecting and analyzing d'lta on the individual student's values, expectations, and experience between entrance and departure from the residential college. Special attention will be given to freshman-senior changes as related to experiences in college, and as compared both with nongraduating students and with students in other units of the same university. The final year of the program, 1971-72, is to be devoted exclusively to analysis, in the case of the five originally participating universities, and to final data-gathering in the other universities.
