LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1976
A Look At The Longwood Honor System With Respect To Neighboring Colleges examinations, or materials which would give to the person (a) taking them an unfair advantage, or which would tend to distort the grading pattern in a course. Stealing, which is knowingly taking or appropriating something which is not yours. (Taken from Lynchburg College Student Handbook-1975-19761.
By MARTHA McCOTTER Honor according to The American Heritage Dictionary means respect, reverence, good name, credit, integrity, etc. . However, the term honor on many college campuses has become of less significance. In an effort to stimulate interest among I-ongwood College students and to evaluate and improve upon our own present Honor System the Rotunda is going to. in this and the next several issues, print a number of Honor Systems used at other schools. These explanations and pledges were taken directly from college student handbooks. In the interest of comparing, our list will begin with I/mgwood's own Honor System.
the Honor Code at all times and to see that others do likewise. Each student is asked to sign the following pledge on all written work: I have neither given nor received help on this work, nor am I aware of any infraction of the Honor Code. (Taken from the Student Handbook, longwood College, 1975-1976.)
LYNCHBURG COLLEGE The College Honor Code sets forth the basic tenets and rules undergirding the Honor concept. Students admitted to study at the College have in enrolling agreed to the following: I have read the explanation of the Honor Code and I understand what is expected of me as a student at Lynchburg College. I realize that ignorance is no excuse for any LONGWOOD COIJ EGE breach of the Code. I recognize Honor Code—Our Honor Code that the Board of Trustees, serves as a practical example of administration, and faculty have a truly democratic form of the responsibility to act directly student life and self-government. in extreme cases in accordance We make our rules and we are with the student Bill of Rights.

HOLLINS COLLEGE Purpose-The Student Government Association strives to instill honor and trust as the basis of community life. When violations do occur, they are adjudicated by the Judicial Branch which is composed of Honor Court and the Campus Life Committee. Lying, cheating, and stealing are violations of the Honor System and are dealt with by Honor Court. Infractions of the regulations of the Student Government Association and of the College are breaches of the Community Trust System and are dealt with by the Campus Life Committee. The Honor and Community Trust System serves the entire Association: every member of the SGA is bound by the Hollins pledge which she signs within her first six weeks at Hollins. The signing of the pledge only indicates a symbolic support of a commitment previously made when the student entered Hollins. Every student is bound by the Pledge upon her arrival. It is this total commitment which makes the Hollins College community one of honor and trust. Every student has the right to report any violation to the appropriate court. Honor Pledge — The basis of life at Hollins is honor and trust. I. as a student, pledge to conduct myself in an honorable and trustworthy manner and to abide by the rules of the College. The court system is set up to enforce the rules, that is, to deal with all matters of conduct bearing on honor and community trust. Honor Court handles breaches of honor: lying, cheating, and stealing. Campus life handles violations of community trust: social regulations and security measures. I understand that my responsibility to the Honor and Community Trust System is as follows when an Honor Offense. Security Violations occur A student is expected to: report herself to the proper court; ask another to report herself for a violation; report the violation to the proper court if the student who is asked to repOli hi does not do so; handle 'he violation with the assistance of ;.

Too many professors and students take the idea for granted, and it means too much to be forgotten. The Honor System at Longwood, in theory, is probably second to none. In practice, though, too many cases are overlooked or are dealt with so quietly and verdicts given with such leniency as to defeat the purpose. Many feel that the accused should face the accusers — is this not the practice in court room procedures?

acts of deviance, and being the only alternative to the lower dining hall (no beer in Her Gym. folks!), this could develop into a highly touchy situation. The first indoor mixer, that of October 16th, saw beer smuggled into the I-ankford building and into the Gold Room, furniture slashed, lamps broken, and three fires set in the men's room. Somewhat better planned, the second mixer on December 5th, minus breakable furniture in the ARC rooms, witnessed broken glass on the floor and several chairs exiting the windows of the ARC rooms. The most, recent mixer, held on January 16th. now minus Iwth furniture and breakable glass bottlei (one learns by experience), had a piano stool flyover the balcony outside of the Gold Room and two tables break upon being sat on. Now understandably, I-ongwood does not have the exact type of building (perhaps cinder block walls, concrete floors, and barred windows would be in order?), but there is a great deal that the Student Union feels the individual can do to alleviate some of these problems. It's ;ir obligation of conscience concern, and just plain common sense, that when a Ix>ngwoo<! student, either male or female, sees someone else destroying any school property at any time, at any place, to either tell those persons to stop, or alert campus police and let them take over from there. (Most likely the above mentioned vandalism has not been done by any I/uigwood students). One can hardly believe that no I-ongwood students were witnesses to at least some of these spectacles and could not have done something to prevent them from happening. The campus police and Student Union or organization members can only be in so many places and cover so much territory at one time. I^nkford and what's in it are paid for by student tuition and taxes, is something to have pride in, and now has become a last resort for many social functions. After all, who has more to lose, the I-ongwood student or the sometimes not so desirable guest9

Longwood Honor System •
•
An Old Tradition Bv RUTH BOURNE
The Honor System is one of the oldest traditions that we have here at Iengwood. It has changed through the years to meet, the needs of the student body. I feel that it is a system that we can all be proud of. Today when the Honor System's of so many colleges and universities are being challenged I feel that, it is a privilege to be a part of one. An Honor System allows us to respect ourselves as well as the others around us. It works on the very important
principle that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The strength of the system depends on each individual. As long as we each take the responsibility to uphold the honor system we can only strengthen it. If we do not we only weaken and eventually destroy it all. When you signed the Honor Code Pledge card you promised to uphold the system and to see that others do likewise. Without your support the concept, of "honor" means nothing.

There is one fact that Longwood has over several colleges going, and that is that this will be our second year in the races. Experience is a Key Factor in the competition, and maybe this year longwood will come hack with a Trophy. Honor and Prestige Therefore when our candidates go bravely onward to fact the elements of the Tube Races on the treacherous Tuckaseege Rivtr; let us give them all the luck and ability to survive the elements.

C. symposium that The Institute is organizing from Congressional and Administration leaders working on the welfare reform issue. According to Mr. Greene, '"much expert opinion holds that a national income supplement would open by economic incentives to poor people. Today's welfare system with its "cut-off points' has the effect of reducing their benefits almost a dollar for every dollar they may be able to earn. This sort of penalty simply is too high for many. Common sense prevents them from risking current benefits by seekint'. more earned income." The contest. according to an official rules brochure, aims "to encourage students to think constructively about solutions to the vast problems caused by the failure of present U. S. socioeconomic

Longwood To Hold A Bowl-A-Thon From Feb. 8-14 Emphysema is the second leading disabler of people in Virginia and other states. Nine hundred thousand children in the U. S. can not lead normal lives because they have asthma. Fourteen million Americans suffer from emphysema, chronic bronchitis and similar lung diseases. Emphysema is growing at a faster rate than any other disease. The Virginia Lung Association is sponsoring a Bowl-a-thon at Ixmgwood College, February 814, 1976. The purpose is to raise money for the association, similar to the Christmas Seal Campaign, as these events will be conducted throughout the state. Why should you Down Because by doing something you enjoy, you can help people whose lives are severely restricted by lung disease. Some can barely walk across the room without feeling exhausted. They feel hopeless and despressed. The funds you can raise by bowling a few games will help the Virginia lung Association keep research going on lung diseases. They will help provide fellowships for doctors who are studying the special treatment of lung disease. They will help fund a program of education for young people which teaches prevention
of lung disease. By joining in this community effort you can do your part to help. And besides — it's a lot of fun. Anyone can participate and have a chance to win the prize. You do not have to be a good bowler. The secret is the number of sponsors you have. Just ask as many people to put up from one half to one cent for each pin you knock down, anywhere from one to three games. The more people you have, the more money you collect toward respiratory illnesses. The organization as well as the person bringing in the most money will win; therefore, two prizes are awarded. The contest is limited to students enrolled at I/)ngwood. All games will be bowled on your free time, other than when classes meet, during the week of Feb. 8-14. All forms and information are available at the bowling alley. Official score cards and blanks must be used. Money will be collected by the end of the following week, Feb. 20. A bowler is considered elig ble only when funds collected h »ve been turned in. If you have my questions, please contact f iss Nancy Andrews in the Phy.s al Education department or 1r. Vince Rickman in the bow ng alley.

The addition of men's intercollegiate athletics, men's intramurals, and coed intramurals will place even greater demands upon facility scheduling, faculty staffing, and finances. "We believe that these athletic opportunities are equally important for both sexes," Miss Hodges states, "but providing them will certainly challenge our imaginations and our resources." "Basketball, golf, and tennis for men would be the most logical sports to develop because we do have the facilities for these." she believes. "The necessary adjustments are being made so that we can offer swimming, fencing, and soccer if the interest justifies it. Football would be ton expensive to even consider in the foreseeable future." Scholarships for Athletics The matter of performance scholarships for athletics is another area of immediate concern to IAC. Many schools in the nation are now offering these scholarships to women as well a.' men, including a few in Virginia i Old Dominion University. Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Virginia). "Ixmgwood has traditionally been a strong competitor in most of the sports we offer," Miss Hodges states. "It is questionable how long we can continue to compete with scholarshipped teams." "We get a number of requests each year about athletic scholarships," she added, "and I believe we are losing students because we do not have them." The IAC will recommend that this situation be carefully studied by the Board of Visitors. The Council itself has voted in favor of initiating a performancebased scholarship for athletics.
Longwood Ladies Stifled Lynchburg College 84-35 By DIANE HARWOOD In their best offensive output of the year, the longwood ladies stifled Lynchburg College by a score of 84-35. The Lynchburg defense was just not strong enough to stop the penetration of the I/ongwocd squad, who were able to connect on several baseline shots. I,C took the opening tap-off for a score and were never headed. Ixmgwood forced Lynchburg into 16 turnovers in the first half which accounted for the big 59-11 halftime lead. I-ead offensively by Mary Iouise McCraw with 2fi points, Anita Stowe with 15. and Sue Rama with 14, the LC cagers shot 68 per cent from the floor and 50 per cent from the free throw line. This victory boost the Ixmgwood record to 6 wins and 1 loss. The Junior Varsity squad lost a close one to Liberty Baptist College by a score of 66-64. The
contest was fairly close until the second half, when liberty hit a hot streak and went up by 11 points. LC now played catch-up ball, utilizing their time-outs strategically so as to better their court position. With fourteen seconds left in the game and losing by two, longwood worked the ball into center Terry Johnson, who turned for a jump shot. Johnson was obviously fouled in the process of shooting, but neither official was in position to call the foul, thus ending the game in favor of Liberty. The JV's now sport a 5-2 record.

Longwood College Basketball Team Reached Tournament Semi-Finals By DIANF HARW(KH) I^ast. weekend the Ixmgwood College Basketball team traveled to Elon, North Carolina, to participate in the Second Annual Elon Invitational Basketball Tournament. Joining host college Elon were East Carolina University, Radford, West Carolina University, longwood and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Longwood faired well by reaching the semi-finals by defeating West Carolina, but lost their second game to fop-ranked East Carolina. Ixmgwood got its first win with a narrow 65-63 victory over WCU. Neither team could post more than a five point lead in what turned out to be a defensive game. After trying several zone defenses, coach Carolyn Hodges turned to a man-to-man, which proved to be the game saving plan. Continued pressure on WCU caused numerous turnovers on which I>C was able to capitalize. I-ed offensively by Sue Rama and Anita Stowe with 23 and 14 points respectively, the
determined LC Indies hit a high 59 per cent of their shots from the floor. A last minute lay-up by Sue Rama gave LC the two-poini lead, and the Ixmgwood defense was able to hold the WCU offensive attack for the last thirty seconds of the game. Ixmgwood now faced topranked ECU. Ixingwood had just four hours before they played the fresh ECU squad, which proved to be a major factor in the girls 78-63 loss. The first half was a see-saw battle, with both teams unable to amount a sizeable lead. Turnovers were numerous on both teams, but again neither side could take advantage. The second half proved to be a different story, as Ixmgwood hit a slump and couldn't seem to muster an offense. Luck was on the ECU side as they continually hit their outside shots. A tired Ixmgwood team couldn't keep up the pace, and the game ended with ECU on top. ECU then went on to defeat UNC-G in the finals by 11 points Coach Carolyn Hodges felt that her team played well in the tournament. "Unfortunately we
had a bad draw, having to play two North Carolina teams in one day. But the girls played two hard-fought games, and played well in each one" SCORECARD: LC vs.WCU: M< Craw- 1-0-2: Henshaw- 2-0-4; Mitchcll- 4-2-10: Blakelv- 0-0-0; Stowe- 0-2-14; Rama 11-1-23 Lones- 1-0-2: Raumler- 5-O-10 LC VS.

Longwood Music Department Sponsored Two Recitals ByDIANNFQUINN The Longwood College Music Department sponsored two wellattended recitals on January 22 and on January 25. 'I'lit' first was a harpsichord recital given by Mr. James Hailing who currently lives in Williarnsburg and teaches at the College of William and Mary. Mr. Darling brought his own harpsichord which was built in 1968 by William Dowd. It was copied after a harpsichord by Pierre Taskin, the original of which is at Harvard. The concert was opened with J. C. Bach's Sonata in F Major. Opus V, No. 5. This particular sonata was found printed in a catalogue of music owned by Thomas Jefferson around 1783. Mr. Darling was kind enough to explain about the harpsichord and the pieces he was playing and stopped periodically to clear any silent questions in the audience's mind. After the Intermission, Mr. Darling played some musicpopular during the American Revolution. One of these was a "Collation of Dances" including "Brandywine Quick-step" and two minuets danced before C.eneral and Mrs. Washington. The program was well-rounded and so enjoyable, not only because of Mr. Darling's excellent playing; but because he
was obviously enjoying the music. He deserved his encore; simply "a jig." The second recital was given by the newest member to the longwood Music Faculty, Ms. Norma Williams. The first half was J. S. Bach's Kantate Nr. 51 with organ accompaniment by Dr. Paul Hesselink and guest trumpeter. Mr. George Terebush; a student at Shenendoah Conservatory. Ms. Williams also sang three Robert Schumann lieder, "Widmug." "Der Nussbaum," and "Der Rose, die I.ilie, die Taube"; with Ms. Frieda Myers now playing the piano. This was followed by songs of Richard Strauss and Samuel Barber. But. Ms. Williams did save the best for last. She sang Monica's aria from "The Medium" by GianCarlo Menotti. The aria demands that the singer act for two people; Monica and Monica speaking for a mute boy, Toby. Ms. Williams' beautiful interpretation brought a few tears to some down front! The program seemed shori because it would be difficult to tire of Ms. Williams' lovely voice and grace. Along with Dr. Hesselink and Ms. Myers. I.ongwood College Music Department is very lucky to have so much talent on its faculty. They are truely an inspiration for their students in teaching and performing.
