Geist Taps Seniors, Juniors As Members
Q - What procedure does Geist use for choosing new members? I heard there was a lot of arguing and disagreement over who should be tapped this time. A. G. A - Dean Wells, who sponsors Geist, provided us with the following answer: In addition to meeting the minimum grade point average of 2.8, candidates for Geist membership must have demonstrated leadership and/or service to Longwood College. Members make every effort to evaluate the quality of the candidate's contributions to the College. There was absolutely no fighting over either procedure or nominees during the deliberations. Petty bickering of this nature is not productive, and therefore has no role in the process of choosing new Geist members. We did have one mixup in meeting time which caused a mild flurry, but it was quickly resolved. In order to authenticate these statements I might add that I attended every meeting, and would certainly have known about any exchange of blows. Q - What is being done about the bicycles that have been taken from Lankford? S. C. A - Tim Brown, Director of Student Activities, gave us this answer: The bicycles which used to be stored in Lankford, adjacent to the office of the recreation managers, were under the control of the Athletic Association. This group became concerned about the fact that bicycles were checked out but never returned for the use of other students. During one 30 day period, for example, there were only two bicycles out of 18 which were returned to Lankford. Thus, there were not enough bicycles available for students to take out. The Athletic Association tried several methods of controling this problem. Bicycles were collected from around the campus several times and returned to Lankford, but the problem persisted. Finally, it was suggested that a checkout system be instituted with the bicycles chained together in Lankford. The recreation manager on duty was to dispense bicycles as students presented them with II) cards. I rejected this system because the recreational managers would not be available when students wanted to use the bicycles due to their other duties. Finally,

By DEBBIE BASTEK "Geist is pleased and thrilled to have all of you here tonight." So opened the spring induction ceremony of Geist, whose purpose it is to "recognize and encourage leadership, promote college loyalty, preserve ideals and traditions of the college, and to foster high ideals of service and scholarship." The sixteen new inductees honored Wednesday night were Joyce Saunders, Susan Lewis, Cindy Bradley, Brenda Griffin, Donna Edwards, Lynda Van Horn and Janet Howard. Also tapped were Diane Derrick, Bonnie Drewery, Mary Tabb Johnston, Verona Leake, Gail Gossage, Fran Moran, Kathy Bozard, Mary Ann Bentley and Debbie Gilbert. The ceremony began with the entrance of the Geist members and proceeded to the presentation of a plaque by Mrs. Adelaide Edwards from the local Red Cross to recognize Longwood's contribution to the bloodmobile. After accepting the award, Dean Wells then introduced Mrs. Caroline Roberts, who, besides possessing a long list of activities from her stay at Longwood, is also a member of the Board of Visitors. Mrs. Roberts, a 1942 graduate of Longwood, has been associated with the college since childhood when her Cither was
a biology teacher here. As a student at Longwood she was an active member of the Student Government, the Virginian staff, the YWCA, the Athletic Association, the Granddaughters Club, Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, a member of Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and Alpha Kappa Gamma, the forerunner of Geist. She returned to Longwood for a short time after her graduation as Assistant Dean of Women, and was later one of the three original members of the Board of Visitors. On Founder's Day in March she was honored by the Alumni Association as a distinguished alumni. "New Feminism" After the introduction by Dean Wells, Mrs. Roberts quipped that everything about her had been covered "except that I found my husband right here in Farmville." She went on to deliver an address far more relevant and interesting than most speeches given at any assembly - "I want to talk to you about the subject of the American woman today." Citing facts from a recent issue of TIME magazine as to the role and position of women in today's society, Mrs. Roberts explained "the new feminism" as she saw it, and as it pertained to women today "Another new woman has

emerged, and she is very much a creation of her own." She closed with, "Work toward those goals which you have set for yourself." New Members The members of Giest then tapped the following students as new members: Mary Ann Bentley is a Senior Art major and the former art editor and cartoonist for The Rotunda. She is a student assistant for the art department and does much of the photography work for groups connected with the college. Kathy Bozard is a Junior and a member of Sigma Kappa sorority. Her activities include the Newman Club, Kappa Delta Pi, Colleagues and various class and college committees. Kathy served as the Head Student Assistant last fall. Cindy Bradley is a member of Alpha Gamma Delta fraternity and Lychnos Society. She has played varsity basketball and hockey, is past treasurer of the Student Government, and has served on various class and college committees. Cindy, who is a Junior, was the Chairman of the 1972 Miss Longwood Pageant.
Junior Diane Derrick is president of Delta Psi Kappa and has played varsity hockey, LaCrosse and is on the varsity gymnastics team. She was president of her sophomore class, a Colleague, May Court representative, Student Assistant and is presently a member of the PeaPickers. Bonnie Drewery is a resident counselor in South Cunningham and a member of the Junior Class. She is now the president of the Granddaughters' Club, a member of Lychnos and is past secretary of the Wesley Foundation. Donna Edwards is a Senior who has served on the Honors and Handbook Committees, and was an Orientation leader. Donna was the president of Alpha Lambda Delta her Freshman year, and is now a member of Kappa Delta Pi. Debbie Gilbert participates in the American Guild of Organists, the Concert Choir, Phi Beta Lambda and is a member of Alpha Phi sorority. Debbie, a Junior, has served on the Executive Council of the Baptist Student Union and has been the business manager of the Virginian for the last two years. (Continued on Page 8)

A Curfew Change Is Coming? The feature story on page 4, concerning the question of curfews, mentions that Residence Board is considering presenting a proposal to Legislative Board which will abolish curfews on Friday and Saturday nights. If the proposal passes Student Government, it will be sent to the Board of Visitors, hopefully at its May meeting. The action is based on the information obtained from the recent Residence Board questionnaire and the speed with which the board is acting to represent the students' wishes is impressive. Frankly though, this is a move that should have been made long ago. We have been told many times that the college is trying to move away from the concept of in loco parentis, which translates roughly as "in the place of parents." Yet, rules, such as curfew and others involving personal control, have been maintained in an even stricter fashion than most of us face at home. The college has in effect been telling us that we are not capable of governing our social lives. There seems to me to be several reasons why the college should cut the ties that our parents dropped when we left home. Curfew isn't really getting us into the dorms at night or keeping us there. There are numerous ways that a girl can use to avoid this restriction, including signing out without going away, going out of locked doors after curfew and having a friend let her in by one of these doors. In THE ROTUNDA for the last couple of weeks, I've printed letters concerning disagreements between officials and students over how dates should be treated in those last five minutes before curfew. Many girls have decided that since they are given 15 minutes, they can use them any way they want to instead of just for lateness. Dropping the curfew would seem to be the logical way to end the tension that seems to be developing between head residents and students. The real "fly in the ointment," to use an oldfashioned term, is what parents, the administration and the Board of Visitors will probably term the moral side of the issue. Somehow, by requiring students to be in at a set time, they seem to think they are protecting our "virtue." Students understand the fact that anything that is "illegal" or "immoral" can be done just as easily before 2 a.m. as afterward; therefore, I can't believe this has escaped the comprehension of the people who support the rule. This argument carries little weight when held up to reality. Longwood will not be the first college to demonstrate a progressive policy in regard to curfews, but I hope it won't be the last. It seems ridiculous that we have to do it hour-by-hour, dayby-day, but I suppose we should be happy for whatever we get. LYNNE

£tlfe» Mk (!3&br Dorm Incident Dear Editor, I would like to offer a few comments to the students concerning the recent article written in protest of several incidents which occurred in Frazer dormitory. The individual who wrote the letter cited these incidents without having been a witness to them and without having investigated them fully. In my opinion the individual has also slandered a person in a very unethical manner without due respect for her position. In this particular case I think the individual who wrote the letter should have shown more responsibility by at least checking with all the witnesses before making a public accusation. The author of the letter indirectly and falsely accused a particular individual of "physically propelling" a late guest intu the dorm. I was working in the Frazer office the night the incident occurred. The girl who was late was obviously upset about being late and afraid that she had caused alot of trouble for her sister. I went to great lengths to reassure her that being only four minutes late was only a minor violation with no serious repercussions. Also, after reviewing the whole incident we found that it would have been almost impossible for the "assistant warden' to "physically propell' the late guest into the dorm. Is it possible that in the young lady's distraught condition she exaggerated what actually happened? In the case where an individual was given a warning for failure to sign out properly it is obvious to see that without the expected date of return on the outside of her card we would have no way of knowing when she was supposed to be back and when to declare her missing. The point is that all of our dormitory procedures, including signing in and out and counting late minutes are dictated by rules which have been made by the residence board. If a student thinks that the rules are petty,
inhumane or ridiculous she should express these ideas to the residence board, not criticize those whose responsibility it is to enforce them. I would suggest that because these rules are student rules that they either be changed to suit all the students or be enforced by the students - not the head and assistant head residents. Mary Smiley

The average student does not eat 21 meals a week in the dining hall; therefore, each meal they eat is at a cost considerably higher than A2(. A guest coming in the dining hall is paying for the meal and not the percentage. As reported in The Rotunda some time last year, if student fees were based on allowing students to pay for each individual meal, the cost would be much higher. It could go as high as $1.05 to $1.25.

Longwood Dancers To Present Student's Original Choregraphy By JANET LYNN TENNYSON The Longwood College Company of Dancers will present an evening of choregraphy set to music tomorrow, April 20. The program will take place in Jarman Auditorium at 8:15 p. m. "I am very pleased with the quality of work," said Miss Sandra Gustafson, who is the director of group," and I feel it is a worthwhile concert." There are four original dances on the agenda, including three selections which were composed by Longwood students. "Mind Sacrifice" is the title of one dance choreographed by Jo Smith. The essence of the dance is the truth about drugs. The interpreters of the dance are Linda Finkel. Mary Lou Glasheen, Suzanne Painter, Jo Smith and Lynn Wilson. Another selection entitled "Galaxy" was composed by Karen Moot. It is an imaginative treatment of the earth and the stars with "The Three Fates", by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, as background music. The dancers for it are Dea Alexander, Cathy Ballowe, Nancy Frank, Betty Ann Glasheen and Karen Moot. Jeffree Hudson's work is the third dance, named "Cry Help". It is a modern ballet with racial overtones. Louise Crews, Vicki Hileman, Jeffree Hudson, Martha Knoop, Nan Pace and Tomi Thibideaux are the dancers. The underlying music is "Ashes, the Rain and I", by the James Gang. The final presentation is an original and long dance drama composed by Miss Gustafson. "It is an experiment in mixing different media," noted Miss Gustafson, "there is a speaking

part, and lighting effects along with the dance". The premise for this selection, entitled "Rural Route", is an old farmer talking about his life. This farmer is played by Rick Vaughn, a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, and his dialogue and dreams motivate the dances. The dancing during the farmer's dreams is done by Larry Smith, a Hampden-Sydney College senior, as the farmer and Nan Pace as the young wife. Representing the spirit of freedom are Sally Carson, Nancy Frank and Karen Moot. The changes of the earth during the farmer's life are danced by Dea Dea Alexander, Sandra Bugg, Judith Church, Mary Lou Glasheen and Suzanne Painter.

represent the four elements which are earth, air, fire and water. This production is the first presented since the dance group changed the name from Orchesis to the Longwood College Company of Dancers. "We wanted to change the name so to identify with the college as a quality group," said Miss Gustafson. The modern dance group's president is Jo Smith, the secretary-treasurer is Dea Dea Alexander, the publicity chairman is Mary Lou Glasheen and the wardrobe mistress is Jeffree Hudson. The organization tries to promote understanding of creative dance among students. The culmination of the company's efforts is the evening of dance to be presented tomorrow night. There is no admission charge.

LC's German Assistant And Sister Perform Songs And Instrumentals By VALERIE BLANKS Annegret Greipel, who is the German Assistant of the Foreign Language Department, and her sister, Eva-Maria, performed German songs and instrumental pieces in the Gold Room Tuesday night. The first part of the program consisted of a concerto for the violincello, played by Eva, and several other pieces, with Anne accompanying her sister on the piano. FoUowing the instrumental selections, Anne sang some German songs, while Deborah Arvin accompanied her on the piano. These pieces were composed by composers Schumann, Schubert, and Brahms.
Anne then performed a piano solo, "Valse Romantique," by Claude Debussy. To round out her performance, she sang "I Could Have Danced All Nigh; from the musical, MY FAIK LADY, in German. Both girls have studied music since they were children and plan to pursue careers in music, as well as teaching. They will take part in a nine year program at the music university, Music - Hochschule - Detmold, in northwestern Germany. Eva, who has been visiting her sister for six weeks, has already started this program. Anne, who took a year out to act as German Assistant here at Longwood, will begin when she returns to Ger many this year.

No Curfew At Longwood? By VICKI BOWLING Whether or not to curb a student's freedom has become a popular concern of colleges and miiversities not only in Virginia, but all over the country. More and more schools are abolishing curfew, and others are modifying it. The current stand seems to be that a school should not have the right to place restrictive hours on a student. In all probability, the student has no set curfew at home, and in many cases he is over 21. Furthermore, most students feel that if they are old enough to leave home, they are old enought to say how long they should stay out.

Other institutions in the state have already passed changes in their curfews. At William and Mary, a no curfew policy will go into effect next year, and Student Government president Andy Purdy thinks that the students are behind the change 100%. "We were seeking self-determination in entering and leaving the dorms," he said. The secretary of Student Government explained that the change came about when a member of the American Civil Liberties Union threatened to take the College to court on a sex discrimination charge! It seems that men were not bound by a curfew, but women were. To maintain security in the dorms and still allow students to come and go as they please, an electronic card system was decided on. This involves a student sliding a card into a door, with the card acting as a key. Prudy said that this system will eventually save the school money. Fred George, vice-president of the Civilian Dorm Council at VPI, said that while there is a curfew for women now, there will be no restriction next year. "It interfered with the moral code of the students," he said. He explained that they had been working on a curfew change for three or four years, and that this year the administration was rather receptive to the idea.
"It is just about a dead subject now," he summarized. Radford Policies The students at Radford College seem confident that the Board of Visitors will pass their bill abolishing curfew, according to Harriet Greene, vice-president of Student Government. "We need a boost in student morale," she explained. The Radford curfew system is currently the same as Longwood's. Harriet said that a system for locking up has not been decided on, and that money is the biggest problem. The proposed abolishment of curfew has gone to the College Senate, she said, and from there will go to the Board of Visitors. Proper Steps Taken Students appear to be taking the proper steps and are going through channels to achieve the changes they want. They are firm in their belief that it is not the role of the school to decide what time they shall come in at night. They feel that the majority of students are young adults who can assume responsibility for their actions, be it after noon or after midnight. Longwood, too, is trying to keep up with the times. The students have shown that they overwhelmingly favor a change in curfew and will try to arrive at it through the proper means. Longwood, too, wants to progress. It remains tc be seen if it will.

RADFORD - The Board of Directors of the Retail Merchants Association of Radford has recently passed that all Radford students caught shoplifting will now be prosecuted. A conviction becomes a matter of public record and precludes entrance to many jobs. Prices have become increasingly high because of the amount of money they lost from shoplifting and Radford has found it necessary to prosecute.

Twenty-Four New Members By PAM WATSON Alpha Lambda Delta, the honorary society for freshman women, initiated 24 new members last Sunday afternoon, April 9. The society is national and was founded in 1924 at the University of Illinois. Since then it has grown to 176 chapters. The local chapter here at Longwood was installed in the fall of 1966. To be eligible a freshman must have a 3.5 average at the end of her first semester, or a cumulative 3.5 at the end of her freshman year, and take a minimum of 15 hours. Those initiated were: Kathy Ballowe, Carolyn Campbell, Peggy Childress, Carol Cummins, Debra Davidson, Mona DeHart, Patricia Dunn, Cathy Epps, Karen Gottlieb, Rose Hooper, Patricia Hudson, Sarah Hunter, and Donna Jacobs. Also initiated were: Candy Lilly, Christine Love, Judy McClellan, Susan Marks, Lucy Martin, Janet Pope, Deborah Potter, Sherrill Pulley, Kathleen Shank, Debra Short, and Sandra Smith. The society also took in two honorary members who have

shown interest in the program. They were Mrs. Eleanor Bobbitt and Dean Mary Heintz. After the initiation at which Mrs. Cada Parrish, Advisor, and Bobsie Bannin, President of last year's class, presided, the following newly elected officers were installed: Patricia Hudson, President; Deborah Potter, Vice President, and Candy Lilly, Secretary. The Sophomore members this year have been active in promoting scholarship here on campus, especially the Honors Council Program. This past fall, the society sponsored a Geist booth to help raise money for their newly organized scholarship fund. The incoming freshmen are sent letters each year by the society informing them of the program and encouraging good grades. At the Awards Assembly in the spring, the society gives an award to the Senior Alpha Lambda Delta member who has the highest cumulative average in her class, and presents certificates to all seniors who have maintained their 3.5 average since their freshman year.
State Highway Safety Division Develops Hot Dots In this day of sew-ons, ironons and glue-ons, another bit of decalomania may ordinarily elicit a yawn. But in Virginia, some mod red and white, dime-size luminous stick-ons called Hot Dots are attracting both national and international attention. Hot Dots have a new twist safety. Developed by the Highway Safety Division in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Transportation, the decals bounce back auto beams making a pedestrian visible to a motorist as far away as the length of two football fields when he wears them on clothing, books, hats, or on his bike. Thirty-six states are exploring Virginia's new safety feature. The Army Headquarters in Korea requested Hot Dots for 7,000 Korean school children. Since a story on Virginia's Hot Dots appeared in the January issues of a national children's publication, "My Weekly Reader," some 500 letters from boys and girls in almost every state have poured into the Division's office. One letter was written in Braille. Two came from schools for emotionally disturbed children. In Virginia, four million Hot Dots have been handed out through major oil companies and their service stations. Boy Scout troops, local fire and police de-

Law, Harvill, Lehman And Ely Publish Papers In Science Field By DEBBIE BASTEK Several members of the Department of Natural Sciences on campus have recently been publishing papers on various subjects within their related fields. Mr. Joseph Law, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, presented a paper entitled "Anthracene as a Suspended Scintillator for Counting the Nickel-63 Activity" on April 7 at the annual meeting of the West Virginia Academy of Science in Bluefield, West Virginia. Co-authored with Dr. Marvin Scott, Professor of Biology and Chairman of the Department of Natural Sciences, and Miss Judith Smith, a 1971 graduate of Longwood now pursuing her graduate work in pharmacology at the Medical University of South Carolina, the paper reported the findings of some research done in the department last year. "An innovative, rapid, and non-destructive method for assaying a nickel isotope, which is found in environmental samples, by means of liquid scintillation spectrometry" was devised during the course of the work. The work was done in part at the Medical College of Virginia and the U. S. Naval Hospital in Washington, D. C. Dr. Alton M. Harvill, Professor of Biology, also presented a paper at the meeting of the West Virginia Academy, "Phy-
togeography of the Virginias and the Equilibrium Concept of Landscape." Dr. Robert Lehman, Associate Professor of Biology, recently published a paper on "The Effect of Deficiencies of Nitrogen, Potassium, and Sulfur on Chlorogenic Acids and Scopolin in Sunflower," along with E. L. Rice of the Department of BotanyMicro-Biology at the University of Oklahoma. Printed in the AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST, this work was supported in part by a National Science Foundation Grant. Dr. Thomas Ely, Assistant Professor of Biology, published a paper along with W. H. Darden of the Department of Biology at the University of Alabama on the "Concentration and Purification of the Male-Inducing Substance from Volvox aureaus M5." This work was partially supported by Grant 603 of the University of Alabama Research Committee. The Department of Natural Sciences has been publishing approximately fourteen papers a year. Dr. Scott said of the work being done, "I think that speaks well for the school in that there is no stress for publication." Several other members of the department plan to give papers at the annual meeting of the Virginia Academy of Sciences on May 4-5 in Lexington.
TV Commercials Sell People What They Don't Need Today's TV Commercial-"Try it—you'll like it!" Condensed from "THE APPALACHIAN" (Appalachian State University) The television commercial has been the subject of much controversy since its initial introduction to the American public. It has both irritated and delighted thousands of viewers in the United States, serving as both uncalled-for intrusion and necessary relief, depending upon the caliber of the program in question and the interest of the viewer. Indeed, many approaches have been taken toward selling the American people what they don't necessarily need. Who, for example, can argue with an automobile that has an entire computer hook-up for the purpose of diagnosing its various malfunctions? And one cannot easily dispute the word of scientists who proclaim the extensive research they have conducted concerning the amazing dissolving capacities of Anacin, and the effectiveness of Pepto-Bismol's coating action in a glass stomach. Not to be overlooked is the sympathetic approach. Anyone who would eat a stuffed dumpling deserves aU the Alka-Seltzer he can drink for the rest of his life. What, in fact, could be more romantic than spending an entire afternoon with the mate of your choice, talking about a life insurance policy? or grooving on a glass Coke (the real thing)? And one must express deepest admiration for the beautiful young housewives who mop and wax their floors and wash their clothes in virginal white evening gowns without disturbing so much
By VALERIE BLANKS Dr. Ronald Dworkin, professor of jurisprudence at University CoUege, Oxford, will deliver the Third Annual Fitzroy Memorial Lecture at the College of William and Mary, April 24. The lecture will be entitled "Liberty and the Rights of Man." It will be given in the baUroom of the Student Center at 8:00 p.m. and is open to faculty members and students of all University Center institutions. Dr. Dworkin taught for several years at Yale Law School and became Hohfeld Professor of Jurisprudence in 1968. A former Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, he became professor of juris prudence there in 1969. He is a well-known lecturer and author of numerous articles on legal and political philosophy. The Fitzroy Lecture is a memorial to Colonel Herbert W.K. Fitzroy, who was president of the University Center in Virginia from 1948 until his death in 1967. The University Center in Virginia, of which Longwood is a member, is the organization which makes it possible for guest lecturers to speak at the twentymember coUeges.
Freshman Commission Collected $50 For YWCA Fund By BECKY NICHOLSON The Freshman Commission collected $50.00 last week as a part of the YWCA Fund Drive. Part of the money will go to the Christian Children's Fund to support a child overseas. The remaining fraction will go to some organization such as the Red Cross or the American Cancer Society. The Fund Drive is the last thing the Freshman Commission does as a group. Monday through Friday of last week each girl on the Commission placed a collection can and a poster in the office of each dormitory. In addition to this the girls campaigned during their free time. The Fund Drive this year was more successful than previous years.
as a fingernail. Commendable also are the efforts of the giant oil companies of American in the area of environmental control. While filming spacious skies, mountain majesties, and fruited plains, they somehow perform the constructive task of leaving'greasy rings around the oceans of the world, rings which even Comet and Josephine can't remove. There are other commercials, of course, which should receive honorable mention in this somewhat dubious Hall of Fame. The "ring around the collar" one, for example and the chuck wagon that zooms through the living room under a carpet and disappears into the kitchen cabinet [ should receive mention. Surely, the TV commercial is necessary, its basic purpose, one could assume, is promoting the American principle of free enterprise, naturally, entertainment is only a sidelight. One can't help but miss the people who ran into doors and got stuck in elevators all because of Benson and Hedges cigarettes, though. And the only time anyone views a bottle of mouthwash with ecstatic delight is at a party when all the booze ran out.

Sophomore Projects Discussed: Song Contest, Show And Rings By BECKY NICHOLSON Donations to the Meherrin Day Care Center and Song Contest are topics which highlighted the Sophomore class meeting last week. The class agreed to donate $10 to the Meherrin Day Care Center. This center was an old Dance Hall which has been renovated. Most of their recreational equipment, such as seesaws, is homemade. This money will go into a fund to buy a swing set since the children need equipment in this area. As a special treat at the class meeting, Debbie Martin and Sarah Todd Lewis sang a portion of the Sophomore song for Song
Contest. The song isn't complete yet, but it's theme centers around Joan of Arc, our patron saint. The Sophomores are going to be busy during the remaining school year. The Sophomore Road Show entitled "Snow White" will be presented April 27. The class is writing a script for a skit which is to be presented at Senior Banquet on May 11, and they will probably order rings the first week in May. The Sophomores had a Red and White Party last Monday night to welcome back the Seniors, their sister class.

Board Discusses Award Nominations And New Bookstore By BECKY NICHOLSON The Legislative Board discussed nominations for the Dabney Lancaster Award and the Arc Award last Monday, April 10. The Student Government Association established the Dabney Lancaster Scholarship in 1955. It is awarded annually to an upper classman, and the winner is announced at the Honors Assembly in May. The Legislative Board began the Arc Award last year for ten students (Juniors and Seniors) who contributed an outstanding service to the school. Officials of the various organizations, such as YWCA, the Athletic Association, and members of Geist are not eligible. Also, Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of the Boards, and Presidents and Vice Presidents of the classes are not eligible for this award. On April 21 and 22 there will be a Student Legislature Open Forum in Richmond. Students from different schools will meet there to discuss problems concerning their schools. Any member of Longwood's Legislative Board is eligible to participate in the Forum, if they want to go. The secondhand bookstore and the Alma Mater change are still being looked into by Board members. The main obstacle regarding the bookstore is the question of a sales tax. After this problem Is solved, the bookstore will probably go into operation. The Alma Mater change is still being discussed at c 1 a s s meetings. As it stands now, the majority of the Freshmen want a change, but most Juniors oppose it.

Entertainment for the evening was provided by The Sebastian Singers and The Downbeats. The Downbeats, a group of nine girls from Douglas Freeman High School, sang several popular folk music numbers by James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel. The Sebastian Singers, the boys group equal to the Downbeats, stole the show as they sang "Watching All The Girls Go By" while the contestants did turns in their swimsuits for the judges. As Dee Dee Arvtn, Miss Longwood 1971, was introduced, she received a standing ovation. Later in the program she entertained on the piano with a medley of popular selections, including "Autumn Leaves" which she played as her talent in the pageant last year. The girls had previously voted for two awards among themselves. Elise Fusco, a Freshman Elementary Education major from Richmond, was all smiles as she received the award of Miss Congeniality.

Taylor, who sang a medley of songs from STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF, was selected second runner-up and Janet Howard, who did a modern dance interpretation of "Your Father's Young Chick." was chosen first runner-up. Dee Dee Arvin then crowned Amy as Miss Longwood 1972. Among her other duties as the reigning Miss Longwood, Amy will compete in the Miss Virginia pageant held in Roanoke in July.
