Cindy Thomas Crowned Tobacco Festival Queen Cynthia Hall Thomas was crowned Queen of Tobacco Land, Saturday, October 18, during half-time activities at Richmond's City Stadium, with Mari-Bea Coles, reigning Miss IiOngwood selected as second runner up.

Cindy did not expect it at all and was totally surprised when the announcement of the 1976 ^ueen was made. "I was waiting for someone else's name to be called and when I heard my name I was so surprised!" the l^ngwood freshman stated. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al Thomas, Jr., along with the rest of her family, were at the game cheering her on. "My momma had bruises on her hands from clapping so hard and my daddy jumped over the wall of the stadium crying 'That's my baby!

That's my baby!' when he heard my name."

Cindy's maternal grandmother inspired her to become a National Tobacco Festival Princess.

Sponsored by the Nelly Curtis Jr. Woman's Club, Cindy represented New Kent and Charles City Counties. "Ga-Ga"

(as she calls her grandmother) had always wanted me to enter a pageant of some kind. She loves the Miss Virginia Pageant and the Miss America Pageant. And my other grandmother has always called me her "Little Princess" and now I am her princess."

Cindy had a most eventful week preparing for Saturday's game.

When she arrived in Richmond on Wednesday, October 15, the Lions Club had a luncheon at the John Marshal Hotel in honor of the princesses. That night she presented her talent; a song and dance routine from "Anything Goes!" Thursday, the girls gave speeches on a topic of their choice. Cindy did a take off of the Bicentennial Minutes sponsored

by Shell, basing her speech on '200 years ago today." "I wanted to go along with the bicentennial," Cindy said. The Festival Princesses were entertained at a formal Presidential Reception in Miller & Rhodes Tea Room, Thursday in honor of the outgoing Tobacco Festival President, Carlton Dufus. Friday, a final luncheon

was held in Thalhimers Tea Room.

The girls were interviewed by a different judge in individual meetings. Each day, Cindy commented that she had never been to so many meetings and attended so many luncheons. She did enjoy meeting the girls. Bein^ one of 18 princesses, she met many new friends. One thing that iid amaze her, however, was the natural atmosphere. "There was no competition among the girls.

We all enjoyed each other," Cindy observed. During her stay at the John Marshall Hotel, Cindy roomed with Miss Nelson County.

The two nirls rode together in a convertible in the parade down Broad Street, Friday night. Cindy received a $2000 check from the National Tobacco Festival Inc. She will use this money toward her education here at Ix>ngwood.

She is still undecided in her field of studies.

Cindy is looking forward to the traveling and appearances she will do as the Queen of Tobacco I<ind. In conferring with past Queen, Sally Southall Chewning, (Continued on Page 5)

LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29,1975

Second Student- Faculty Retreat January 24

By ANITA RIVAKI) A second Student-Faculty Retreat is in the planning stages and has been set for Saturday, January 24, 1976. According to Mr. T.C. Dalton, Administrative Assistant to the President, it will most likely take place in the Lankford Building on campus.

This is the first time that a second-semester retreat has been attempted, and there are several reasons why it should prove successful. Sue Scarborough, Chairman of Legislative Board, sees the upcoming retreat as a follow-up to the retreat that was held in August. It might be considered "a check system — to make sure that suggestions (which were made in August) are being followed up," she explained. Mr. Dalton said that there would probably be "an update since the last retreat" and that "if there are topics that people want to continue to discuss" this will probably be included in the retreat in January.

In the past, attendance at the annual Student-Faculty Retreat has been by invitation. According to Mr. Dalton, those invited included student government leaders, presidents of various organizations, and students who were chosen at random in an effort to provide a cross-section of opinions. In addition, members of the Board of Visitors, the State General Assembly, and community leaders have been present. Any other students who were interested in attending

would contact Mr. Dalton and would be usually permitted to attend. In January, however, attendance for the retreat will be mainly on a volunteer basis.

Students will be allowed to sign up and a list will also be posted on which students may suggest topics that they would like to see discussed at the retreat.

Topics for Disscussion Doris Boitnott, Chairman of Residence Board, expects that coeducation, as far as changes on campus, will be discussed.

"Residence Board is a key in all of that since housing will be a problem," she said. She is interested in any questions or concerns that students and administrators might have with respect to Residence Board.

Rachel Jolly, Chairman of Judicial Board, commented, "as far as the Board goes, more penalties — something between probation and suspension — could be discussed because we don't know how far we will get with it this semester." (Judicial Board is at this time initiating discussion among its members on that topic) Sue Scarborough suggests that some topics might arise from trends in other colleges, especially with respect to the curriculum.

The August retreat was the sixth to be held, all of which have been during the first semester of the academic year. "I feel like they've been successful," Mr. Dalton said. He added, "I feel that we'll have a higher percentage of participation this

time. this is the first time we've had a formal sign-up." Doris Boitnott said, "I've only been to one retreat I felt that is was beneficial in opening up communications, but it will be more effective to have it in the middle of the year because policies are fresh in everyone's mind." She added, "I had been on Residence Board for one semester before I attended a retreat, and that's a little late to be opening up communications."

Therefore, she sees a secondsemester retreat as "beneficial to new officers."

Commenting on the last retreat, Laurie lee McCullough, Chairman of Student Union said that she felt it was very well organized, but the topics for discussion were kind of vague. "I know they wanted to give us plenty of leeway for discussion, but we didn't really know where to begin or how to keep it going," she stated. Laurie added, "I think it's great that there's going to be another retreat. It can be a very worthwhile and beneficial thing."

Rachel Jolly said, "I think it's a good idea to have to both times so that you can follow-up what's been discussed and see what's been discussed and see what's been followed up." Laurie McCullough stated, "To me, the most important aspect of a retreat is how well the results are followed up. It would be good if the people who participate in the next retreat could be kept informed on the progress made as a result of the retreat."

Beneficial To Communication The idea for another retreat was brought up in discussions at the retreat in August. legislative Board was asked by Dr. Willett to discuss the matter and, according to Sue Scarborough, "favorable opinions were gathered" from the students. She feels that the retreats are a good idea because they are "really beneficial to the administration and student representatives."

She added, "You get alot accomplished problems are

brought out and ideas and suggestions are gathered."

"Longwood is really fortunate you can't beat what this school has in communications," Sue said. She backed this statement by referring to the Student-Faculty Retreat, the weekly meetings of legislative Board, and frequent Press Conferences with Dr. Willett, all of which are open to interested students. According to Sue, "retreats are one of the best means of communications."

Residence Board Residence Board's proposal to legislative Board on organized parties in Residence Halls has been withdrawn. There is no rule prohibiting the possession of kegs of beer in Residence Halls.

Must Respond A second student-faculty retreat has been scheduled for January.

L)ear Editor, The Freshman Phantom wishes to extend her congratulations to those who participated to make the Oktoberfest of 1975 a tremendous success. The members of Geist, faculty, class chairmen, stage crews and klowns all worked hard to insure the atmosphere of gaiety that accompanies the

Oktoberfest festivities. By no means have I mentioned all who helped with Oktoberfest; to do so would be almost impossible. The ideas and talents combined with the spirit and enthusiasm to make this Oktoberfest one to remember. The blue and white sisters of Longwood College have built something to be proud of; the success of Oktoberfest '75 is proof of this. Congratulations to one and all!!!

Students are showing more concern in I/>ngwood; this concern is being followed up by voicing their opinions, but if their opinions are ignored, and considered unworthy of attention, they will cease to be voiced.

L.C. Board Of Visitors Meeting November 6-7

By ELLEN CASSADA Longwood's Board of Visitors will be on campus Thursday and Friday, November 6-7. This Board is the major governing body, and unlike those of many other colleges, the Board is making a genuine effort to learn the feelings of students, faculty and staff on various issues on their agenda.

The following statement was adopted in 1972 regarding access to the Board: "The Board of Visitors is anxious to encourage communication among all constituencies of the college community. The Board takes great pride in the fact that I^ongwood was the only college cited by the Governor's Management Study for its work in this area. While wishing to stress communication with, and access to, the Board can best be achieved through formalized channels. Following the practices used in the overwhelming majority of colleges and universities, the Board designates the Office of the President as the channel to be used for those desiring contact with the Board.

In order to implement the above policy, the following procedural steps are required. If an individual or group, after having exhausted all regular departmental and institutional channels, wishes to appeal a decision or recommendation, such an appeal must be given in writing to the President. If the decision or recommendation by the President is not received favorably, a formal appeal to the Board of Visitors may be directed through the President to the

Board, along with a request to appear before the Board, if so desired. Such requests must be received a week (seven days) prior to the Board meeting. In unusual situations, exceptions to the time limitation may be granted by the Executive Committee.

Requests for exceptions should be directed through the President to the Executive Committee."

(Adopted by the Board of Visitors on November 2, 1972. Amended by the Board of Visitors on August 2, 1974.)

The student liaison committee is a brand new approach to communication between the board and Longwood students and passing through the proper channels. This past August, the Board appointed three of its members to serve on this committee: Mrs. Pat Brown, vice-rector of the Board and chairman of the committee from Hampton, Mrs. Ann Hodges of Chesapeake, and Mr. George Kostel from Clifton. These members will work with five students selected in late September by Legislative Board: Melissa Wiggins, freshman; Jill Hutchinson and Linda Brinson, sophomores; Ellen Cassada, junior; and Mary Beth Yeakley, senior. Dr. Willett and legislative board chairman Sue Scarborough will serve as officiaries. The purpose of the committee is not one of policy making, but is instead one of finding student viewpoints for topics. This feedback will enable the committee to have accurate discussions with members of the Board's liaison committee.

I'm chatting I've heard with my " we evolved great-great 5rom seagrandf ather! creatures, but...

have not met as yet, but most of the members will get together when the Board comes November 6 to begin to lay out the basic foundation and directions. A definite agenda has not as yet been established, but hopefully will be available for printing in the next issue of the Rotunda.

Students are urged to go to members of the student liaison committee to gripe, complain, praise, and offer any suggestions on any current issue of interest.

Only in this way can the Board be made aware of all sides of policies, past and present. Too many people just a year ago had never heard of a Board of Visitors. Now with the formation of a liaison committee to become a necessary and long needed link between Longwood's governing body and those most affected by it, students have ample opportunities to express their opinions and suggestions and be heard. Too many complain to roommates or friends down the hall, and never have any improvements brought about.

Too many fail to take the time and gripe to the right person. The student liaison committee needs input from the student body in order to accurately discuss feelings with the Board of Visitors. The members of the committee have a fairly good idea of the general consensus of the students. But a fairly good idea is not enough. In order to really operate effectively, the committee must know how the majority thinks, and they need to be able to present several sides to each issue. The Board of Visitors has seemed extremely interested in making the best decisions for Longwood, and they are constantly asking, "What is your opinion?" or "How do most students feel?" The student liaison committee can accomplish a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or nothing.

With a fair amount of input and feedback, the Board can anally be made aware of what is needed and what is not needed. But if the student committee gets no opinions, it must be assumed that students think no changes are necessary and that the majority of Longwood College is either completely satisfied with things or is too apathetic to care whether things are the way they want them to be.

Still another source of input for the Board will be a luncheon to be held Thursday, November 6.

Each Board of Visitors member will sit at a table located in various areas of the upper dining hall. With the Board member will be a hostess, either one of the student liaison committee members or someone from legislative board, to introduce the Board member to students sitting there. There is a list in the new smoker where any student can sign up to eat with any Board member. This will give students an opportunity to meet the member from their area, or from an entirely unfamiliar area.

It will be a good chance for the Board to get a general idea of student opinions overall. This is the first year that the Board has eaten at individual tables, and it is the first time that the general student body has been able to meet and talk with the Board informally. The response of students to the luncheon will be some indication of the concern of IiOngwood to its ruling body. If the response is good, which it should be, the Board will be able to see concrete evidence that students here are concerened about the group of individuals so important to the campus. The Board will also get a general idea of the sway of student opinions, and some of the areas that concern them that perhaps have not been listed on the actual agenda to be discussed. If, on the other hand, there is little response, the Board will have no reason to be concerned about how students feel, because if they take no initiative to voice their concerns and gripes, the Board needed not take up any of their limited time to try to involve students in their decisions. The luncheon is an excellent idea.

Students should sign up to eat with a Board member whether they know them or not. It offers an excellent chance to get acquainted with those so important, and it should prove to be an interesting lunch. Sign up.

Even if your only reason is that your table will be closed and you want to come to lunch. Sign up for any reason, and perhaps you will leave with a little better understanding of the Board of Visitors and their feelings about the campus issues.

The Board of Visitors recognizes that students are the most important constituents that they must deal with. Through the liaison committee, the Board and

Longwood College can come into close contact and begin some solid channels of communication.

It is apparent that communication is a major goal of the Board, and its members are striving extremely hard to weigh all sides of issues before making a decision, and the liaison committee will hopefully allow the Board the opportunity to weigh all sides accurately.

Because they are so extremely influential and important, to IiOngwood's present and future, it is good to know that its members are concerned and want the best for the majority. Since the liaison committee has come into being, everyone has the opportunity and should take the initiative to make their opinions known. No matter whether it is one of approval, complaint, unknowing or disinterest, make yourself known for a change, Ixmgwood. It is important if you expect needed changes to come about. It is important to Ixmgwood College if we are to improve and grow better. It is important for you to be satisfied, longwood. College is not all work and no play, nor is it all carefree and without worry.

In order to be happy, be satisfied.

At least express your opinion. If it does no good, at least someone knows how you feel, and perhaps the future will see brighter days and better attitudes. It is important to the student liaison committee, to the Board of Visitors' liaison committee, to longwood, and to you. The Board and the student committee care about making I/mgwood College a place to be proud of. In this time of apathy and complete noninvolvement, that statement sounds corny, but it is true. Help them for once. Express yourself, no matter what the opinion. Just do something that can be constructive. Now, before it is too late and no one cares.

Director Mattus Finds Drama An Addiction

By CHAKLENE WILKEK80N "To me, the theatre is not a career, but an addiction I succumbed to while a student at Blacksburg High School." So says Dr. Martha E. Mattus, the director of the upcoming play the Children's Hour.

"Even so. I went to Cornell College planning to major in anthropology. Cue day I walked into the theatre and just sat thereby myself, smelling the paint and the sawdust. 1 realized that 1 would be spending most of my time right there, so 1 decided to give in and cliange my major."

Dr. Mattus received what she called a "second generation I'.ll.D." in theatre from Cornell University. Her father, a professor of horticulture at VTI&SU in Blacksburg, also obtained his doctorate from Cornell, and her mother was enrolled in undergraduate studies there.

Martha Elizabeth Mattus was born "ii August 4, 1949 in Ithaca.

New York, a few weeks before her father received his doctorate.

She said her mother was typing his dissertation when the labor pains started so she "promptly called the doctor and told him thai when she finished typing the dissertation, she would be citming in to have the baby delivered." Undoubtably, her mother believes strongly in the importance of a good education, Which is reflected m the achievement! o( her daughter Dr. Mattus feels she owes | great deal of gratitude to "all of the women who have helped give me the sense of selfhood necessary to achieve the high honor of a doctorate." She said one of these women is her mother, who taught her that "in the final analysis, the one person one must please is oneself " A close college friend. Dr. Mattus commented, who helped keep me convinced, in the t.i overwhelming odds, thai it waa i Who was sane, and the rest of the world crazy.'" served as .i major influence in her life The "two remarkable old maid hers" for whom she was named also played an important role in Martha Elizabeth's life At the age of sixteen, she decided

she was "destined to be an old maid" like those whose names she bore. That summer she taught herself how to crochet lace, because "at that age, that's what I thought old maids did. I still have a piece of very fine lace I crocheted!"

The Children's Hour was Dr. Mattus' choice of play to direct, because she had already directed a classical tragedy, Electra and a contemporary comedy, Kose lie rout/ and (iuildenstern are Dead, and she wanted to work with something out of the realistic tradition. She said that many of the students were uncomfortable with the idea of doing this play, thinking that the themes were "a little too close to home" for LongWOOd, but stated that "My feeling is that drama when possible — should cause, rather than avoid controversy."

"The play is about gossip and the harm it can do to others. I know from personal experience that gossip is a main issue on Ixmgwood's campus. I hope the play will lead both the actors and the audience to some serious thought and healthy discussion of this issue."

The source of Ms. Hellman's play can be traced directly to her reading of William Roughhead's book, Bad Companions, which was published in 1930. In one cliapter entitled "Closed Doors or the Great Drumsheugh Case," there is a story of a malicious student who said that the two headmistresses at her school had an "inordinate affection" for each other. The theme of malicious gossip and name calling was an ironically recurring one in Ms. Hellman's own life: she and many of her closest friends were to suffer during the McCarthy era.

The play has caused one problem for its director, who commented "This show does deal with the question of love between two women. My experiences and attitudes differ from those of many of my cast, and I do not wish to impose my point of view on others. Everyone must make a decision for herself, which a few still haven't been able to do."

This is Dr. Mattus's first teaching experience and she

stated that her feelings toward logwood's drama department have changed since her arrival a year and a half ago." When I arrived, I encountered a structure in which the students have a tremendous amount of power in the department and I was at first apprehensive. Now I have discovered, through working with the students, that they do have the maturity necessary to handle their responsibilities.

When asked whether the fact that she is living in Farmville, is single, and is a member of Ijongwood's faculty has affected her social life, Dr. Mattus replied, "the social opportunities are very limited — situation which is aggravated by the 26 hour work day that my involvement in drama so often entails."

In addition to directing the play, Dr. Mattus is teaching two basic speech courses, a theatre history course, the play production course and an independent study in stage lighting. She designed the costumes for The Beggar's Opera and is now helping with the lights for the Daniel Player's production of A Man For All Seasons to be presented November 5 through 8 at the Southside Virginia Community College. The comment on her method of accomplishing all of her responsibilities was "theatre people never sleep anyway!"

By LEE BROWN with BILL MEEHAN Can a graduate of longwood College adapt to a teaching role at Hampden-Sydney College? "I have been very pleased generally with the students here," said Dr. Anne Lund, a 1967 graduate of I.ongwood now in her second semester of teaching in the H-S biology department.

Dr. Lund joined the faculty the first of the year as an assistant professor of biology, filling the vacancy created by the departure of Mrs. Blanche Johnston to Maryland.

"I can't compare Longwood to Hampden-Sydney; I have no concept of what it's like to be a student here." Dr. Lund, a member of Sigma Xi national honorary club, was graduated from Longwood with a B.S. in biology.

She can compare HampdenSydney with Emory University, where she went after leaving Farmville to earn both a masters and a doctorate. The masters came in only one year; her specialty was cytogenetics. In 1974, she earned her Ph.D. in biology for which her research centered on plant systematics.

"The students are more aggresive at Emory, where they are one in one hundred in a lecture room." Dr. Lund taught a

j r

course in biology and botany while working on her Ph.D., and so can compare the attitudes on the two campuses. "They were more dedicated at Emory and studied harder, but it is harder to test in that environment."

Emory University is a school of over 6000 students, coeducational, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Lund explained that it was harder for the professors to know the students in the large school situation, and the students were forced to be aggresive to be recognized.

"I like the more informal, more friendly attitude here." She continued: "You can test the understanding here better though they probably know no more that the students at Emory."

Microscopic work, especially in cytology, is the favorite area of Dr. Lund's study. She spent most of this interview glued to her microscope in one of the biology labs.

Dr. Lund is now teaching general biology and its corequisite laboratory course.

Next semester, she will add cytology to her teaching load. She says that she is impressed with the students' conscientiousness in their studies, though many of the freshmen in her introductory course "have an adjustment to make they will work harder after deficiencies."

"At first I felt strange," Dr. Lund admitted about teaching at an all male college. But the students have been polite and agreeable, and she is now obviously very much at ease. Dr. Lund is the only female professor at Hampden-Sydney.

Dr. Lund and her husband, Michael, an English professor at her alma mater, Ixuigwood, both like the country setting of the colleges and are enjoying their stay here. The Lunds have a three year old daughter, Meredith.

On November 4-8:30; Jarman He's coming to Long wood on Tuesday night, November the 4th, and when he hits the stage, it just may prove to be the best concert Longwood has ever seen.

The "He" is none other than CBS recording artist, Michael Murphey, who will perform in Jarman auditorium on Tuesday night, starting at 8:30 p.m., sponsored by the Longwood College Student Union, and the Hainpden-Sydney CAC. Tickets will be on sale in the Student Union office in I.ankford building for a price of $3.00 for I-ongwood and Hampden-Sydney students with a proof of I.D., and $4.00 for the general public. On Tuesday night, the ticket price will increase to $4.00 general admission for everyone with seating in Jarman on a first come, first served basis.

Appearing at the Mosque on November the 7th Richmond Michael Murphey fans will pay in contrast $5.00 to $6.00 a seat;

evidence of the S.U.N. and C. A.C. efforts to provide good entertainment at a reasonable and low price to the student.

Having gained recent notoriety for his latest 1975 release "Blue Sky: Night Thunder," Michael Murphey first became known to the general public with his song 'Wildfire," a moody but potent work centering on a girl, her pony, and "a cold Nebraska night." Currently heard from coast to coast and rivaling 'Wildfire" in duration of popularity, "Carolina in the Pines" centers on some fast banjo work, and earthy, naturalistic lyrics, brighter in tone but equally as moving as "Wildfire."

These two songs, a fair representation of his talents, only begin however, to introduce one to the complexity that can be found within the artist, as he paints living pictures of western

that of all her travels from North Carolina to West Virginia, the most exciting was the National Conference in June at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

She was treated like a queen.

"Finally, I met all the people I represented," Sally confessed.

Sally has become familiar with all the major tobacco companies during her reign. When she visited the companies, she was able to identify the brand of the cigarette they manufactured and in most cases, she received free samples. "One time I got a whole case of cigarettes," Sally said.

Upon graduation, if Sally cannot find a job teaching Physical Education, she would like to go into Public Relations.

The experiences she had were fantastic. "It was a grand opportunity, one which I wish everyone could have. I'm only glad to think that there is at least one person who will have the opportunity!"

Miss Longwood College, "MariBea Coles was second runner up to the Queen. Mari-Bea is a senior, elementary education major from Virginia Beach. Sally Chewning commented on the whole weekend, "Cindy will do a good job as queen. I hope longwood is proud to have her and Mari-Bea represent the college. I congratulate them both on a job well done. Everyone should realize that this is a National Festival, much higher than state."

The 1975 Queen continued, "I was proud to crown another Ixmgwood student as Queen of the National Tobacco Festival.

We will be well represented Nationally."

As the outgoing Queen, Sally feels that she knows much more about the history of the tobacco industry. "The people with the industry and those that work with the Festival are the warmest people I have ever met."

Through her experiences with people, Sally has learned to handle herself in almost all situations and she can adjust to varying environments. In her travels, she has attended Tobacco auctions, picked tobacco from fields, and been to many grand openings. Sally displayed her unique talent at most of the openings by chopping a board in half, instead of the traditional "cutting-of-the-ribbon." Sally felt

desert life and the people who have evolved in such a setting.

Producing such songs as "Goodbye Desert Rat" dedicated to the two desert Indians Calvin Black and Guy Dull Knife, or the brilliant, joyous "Medicine Man" which speaks of "sea shells and old spells, and ribbons and smoke" Michael Murphey integrates vivid imagery in lyrics with a full range of instrumental variation.

Murphey*s backup consists of acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, keyboards, mandolin, drums, and occasional saxophone contributions, as in the solo on "Secret Mountain Hideout."

Dynamic, compelling and intense, Michael Murphey will lead his audience on November 4 from scenes of "Business in New York City" to "the glittery Hollywood midnight," to a painted image of "Night thunder . . . Sunlight . . . Water . . ."

James River Raft Race- Oct. 4 Among the many people who dared to participate in the Great James River Raft Race was a Longwood College junior who cannot swim, It all began when David Mountcastle, a friend from Richmond, called, said he had entered, and asked if she would go with him. Donna Spivey thought, "Oh, my God, what a horrible way to go. I did not tell my mother; I figured someone would let her know that I had drowned. "Her Worries were founded on the fact that" I don't know anything about Richmond, and I thought the James was full of rocks".

Her fears were needless. "The water was muddy and was running fast, but it was not rough.

It (Oct. 4) was a beautiful day for if.

The race rules were simple.

Except for motors, anything went. One had sails listing the raft's sponsors. Another was "Made like a huge shark" and was christened "Jaws". A third was made entirely of inner tubes, one of which sprang a leak. Still another raft consisted of a metal bed frame floated upon barrels.

Four people rode on the raft made by David Mountcastle even though it measured only "about eight feet by eight feet". It was constructed of "plywood, inner tubes, and lots of rope", balanced at each corner and had a "cooler of beer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for strength" in the center. Mountcastle and a friend rowed with store-bought oars, one of which broke during the course of the race.

The race covered the threemile stretch of the James River between Rickmond and Berkeley Plantation. Of the over two hundred entries, only twenty-two rafts reached their destination.

The problem was the tide. "No one could go anywhere", Donna said. "We were rowing toward Berkeley, but for every stroke we rowed we went back three."

Although some of the rafts were in the water by 10:00 a.m., even they had to contend with the incoming tide; it took even the fastest raft "at least two and a half or three hours" to reach Berkeley Plantation. Other than that, Donna commented this first race was "fairly well organized".

The tide was so strong that some people were pushed back on an island on the wrong side of Richmond. Many rafts broke.

"We never got past the starting point". Donna said, "but we didn't get as far back as the island either."

Rescue teams "really watched out for the people in the race."

Life jackets were required, and "rescue boats were all over the place to help the people who gave up."

"We stayed out here for a right long time," Donna said. "It was a lot of fun. Everyone got wet."

What types of people entered?

There were lots of college kids, but there were lots of older people too". She also talked to a group of young kids whose ages she placed at twelve or fourteen who built their raft "real high up". They stayed dry.

Most of the contestants had beer. "Right many drank while they were out there," Donna said.

"One guy got really, really drunk", and had to be carried from the water.

"I hope to do it again next year," Donna concluded. "It was something different. I'd do it

again in a minute."

The Great James River Raft Race was sponsored by WRVQ in Richmond and the Peter Paul Candy Company. All of the fifty dollar entry fees as well as the money made from the sale of Tshirts, food, tec. would benefit multiple sclerosis. Over twenty thousand dollars was taken in, but this was thirty thousand less than the sponsors' goal.

Donna Spivey is an elementary education major from Virginia Beach. She is a member of Phi Mu and enjoys partying and reading.

Dr. Tucker - Sponsored By Bus. Dept. - Speaks On U.S. Economy

By SALLY GRAHAM An author, educator, and banker, Dr. James F. Tucker was the guest lecturer in Jeffers Auditorium on October 23 at 4 p.m. He presented the second in a series of "voice of experience" lectures sponsored by the business department at I-ongwood College. He spoke on "Some Perspectives on the Great Depression: Lessons To Be I/earned."

In addition to his duties as a banker, Dr. Tucker is part-time lecturer in economics at both Mary Washington College and J. Sargent Reynolds Community College. He is a member of the Hoard of Visitors for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the board of directors of the Virginia Council for Economic Kducation, and the Curriculum and Clearinghouse Committee on Consumer Education for the State Department of Kducation. Dr. Tucker is currently serving as vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond and was former president of Virginia State College He is the author of a number of articles and a textbook, "Essentials of Economics," which has been adopted for use in many colleges and universities throughout the country.

Dr. Tucker received the A.B. imagnacum laudei and the M.A. degrees from Howard University. He holds the Ph.D. degree in economic history from the University of Pennsylvania and has done post graduate study in economics at the University of North Carolina.

Former positions include serving as professor and director of the center for economic education at VPI&SU, and the chairman of the departments of business at both North Carolina Central University and West Virginia State College. He has served on a number of local and regional planning commissions

and last spring was a member of the Governor's Electricity Cost Commission.

Dr. Tucker opened his lecture giving his opinion on today's world situation by saying, "If someone offers you the world on the platter, you take the platter."

Dr. Tucker stated that during the past year, the United States has experienced a 12.2 per cent rate of inflation. To this statement, he added that because of this inflation rate, there has been a definite decline in each individual's purchasing power.

Dr. Tucker said that the "present crisis could have been avoided if we had learned our lesson from the great depression."

At this point, Dr. Tucker explained that he, as well as other economists, have seen several specific parallels between the economical situation today and the same situation that led to the Great Depression. The four parallels that Dr. Tucker referred to were the political alignment in Washington, the restrictions on international trade, the maldistribution of income, and the attitude toward business.

Dr. Tucker began his discussion on the parallels of the Great Depression of the 1930's and the current recession by bringing out points on the political alignment in Washington. In 1930, the President of the United States was of one major political party and the Congress was controlled by the other major party. Herbert Hoover was the Republican president, and the Congress was controlled by the Democratic party. In the first national elections in November of 1930, the Republicans came out of the House of Representatives with a majority. The problem, as Dr. Tucker explained, was that the representatives were elected in November but did not assume office until March of the following year. Between 1930 and 1932,

Sunic's latest book is Ketuni to a Place I.it by a (.lass of Milk. He is best known for Dismantling the Silence, which inaugurated the Braziller Poetry Series in 1971.

Simic was born in Yugoslavia.

He speaks fluent French and Serbo-Croatian. His translations of poets from Fastern Europe are among the best.

Simic s appearance at Umgwood is sponsored by the Student Union in co-operation with the English department.

Congress did not pass the proposals that Hoover was in favor of and likewise, Hoover vetoed the bills that Congress sent to his desk. Because of this, the economy suffered.

The second parallel that Dr. Tucker commented on were the restrictions on international trade. In 1930, agriculture was cut off from the market by a tariff. Because of this, the United States was isolated economically.

Dr. Tucker stated that "we do not have anything today that would approach that tariff." According to Dr. Tucker, the trade restrictions actually deepened the crisis. He went on further to say that "we need to protect American jobs and protect American industries, textiles being among these industries."

During the time of the New Deal, Dr. Tucker said that there was a time when poor families stood in line to be given free bags of groceries. At the same time in other parts of the country; people got paid for destroying their crops. Dr. Tucker replied to this by saying it is quite a paradox that the "country was destroying food in some places and begging for food in other places."

Dr. Tucker said that the same kind of thing could happen today if we place the same restrictions on international trade. "If we attempt to restrict the sale of our grain we will gain for a short period of time .. but eventually we will pay extra taxes to farmers to destroy their crops in order to raise prices."

The third parallel deals with the maldistribution of income. In 1930, the big problem was that there were very few people with big incomes and lots of people with small incomes. Therefore, the purchasing power of the small income families was not very great.

In talking about the costs of new homes and automobiles today, Dr. Tucker quoted several figures. The average single family new homes in the first half of this year cost $45,680. The same average for last year for the same time was $39,875.

He compared the purchase of cars from September, 1974, to September, 1975.

Cadillac increased its sales 103 per cent Mercedes Benz increased 50 per cent; and Oldsmobile increased 61 per cent. There was a decrease in the purchase of small cars as is shown by the decrease in the percentages of small cars purchased. Plymouth decrease:! by 15 per cent and Volkswagen decreased by 46 per cent.

The fourth and final parallel that Dr. Tucker discussed is the attitude towards business. Dr. Tucker said that this was the only parallel that does hold true. In 1930, there was a definite antibusiness attitude. At that time business investment declined to one billion dollars in 1933.

Because of the restrictive attitudes, competition was greatly reduced.

Today, as in 1930, there is a definite anti-business attitude.

Some people are in an uproar because of the business profits.

Dr. Tucker answered this by saying that these people "don't consider that profits are for the continuation of the flow ol business services. Profits should not be a dirty word."

Following his lecture, Dr. Tucker answered questions that the audience had.

By SALLY GRAHAM On Saturday, October 11, the Longwood Varsity and Junior Varsity teams played two games to entertain the Oktoberfest crowd.

The Varsity team took the field against the Cavalier Club from Richmond and came away victorious by a score of 3-0.

The defense was active during the entire game. Goalie, Jane Grier, cleared one goal in the secondhalf. The offense scored all three goals in the first half of the game. The three goals were

Cathy Ix)we scored the first noal of the afternoon for Ixmgwood in the middle of the first half. Much of the play during the first half seemed to stay between the two twenty-five yard lines; neither team could get a

drive going. During the second naif both teams came out playing more aggressive and each team was able to control the ball better. Ixmgwood came up with two more goals during the second half; Terry Voit scored one while Cathy Ix)we scored her second goal of the day to make the final score 3-0.

On The Move With Tournaments

By SUZANNE KEID During the past eight days, Longwood's Golf Team has played against 16 colleges. The courses ranged from Williamsburg to Staunton and back to Longwood's home course.

On September 30, the Kingsmill Country Club's course, in Williamsburg, was well walked

by Ixmgwood, William and Mary, and Mary Baldwin. Longwood won ever Mary Baldwin (9 4 pts.-2 \ i pts.), but lost to William and Mary (8pts.-lpts.). The teams discovered that insect

repellent was an essential part of equipment needed, due to the many mosquito bites that were received.

The Mary Baldwin Invitational (iolf Tournament was held this past Friday and Saturday in Staunton. There were 50 participants representing 12 colleges from N.C., S.C. and Virginia. Longwood's Connie Forsyth and Donna Groseclosc won in their divisions, while Meg Baskervill and Gail Pollard participated.

Students At Marshall University Gain Freedom And Lose Privileges

state and local laws.

Search procedures at Marshall University (MU) in Huntington, W.Va. were revised this summer to reflect the adult legal status of 18-year-olds in West Virginia. MU students are now protected from searches by University officials: to enter a student's room, officials need a warrant from local police.

A federal judge in Michigan ruled this summer that college students are entitled to the same rights of privacy in their dorm rooms as any adult in a private home. Two students at Grand Valley State Colleges who were facing suspension for marijuana possession sued the college for illegally searching their rooms.

The judge agreed that the college officials should have obtained a search warrant before entering the students' rooms.

But winning new rights has in some cases meant losing old privileges. Many colleges have traditionally asked local police to let them discipline their students even if the infractions of school rules also violated local or statelaws. Ix)cal lawmakers have often deferred to the universities.

Now students at MU will be turned over to the local police for

breaking either university or

local laws. This will apply to offenses such as theft, public intoxication, assault, possession of illegal substances and trespassing.

MU Dean of Students Richard G. Fisher said 18-ycar-old majority rights and a conviction that the concept of the Uti iversity acting in the place of parents "is dead" had spurred the change.

The new code will also give local police the chance to enforce MU visitation rights according to Fisher. In a first violation of visitation hours, students would not be arrested, but on the second, they might be, Fisher said.

Visitation hours - one example of the parental authority many colleges still exercise over dorm residents have been challenged on several campuses but still seem to be hanging on.

The New Mexico State Supreme Court ruled this summer that the Board of Regents had the right to enforce no-visitation rules. The Court decided that "the regulation is reasonable, serves a legitimate educational purpose and promotes the welfare of the students at the university."

Small victories are being won on other campuses where visitation hours have expanded. At Memphis State University, visitation has been temporarily extended from midnight until 2a.m. but the new hours will still have to be approved by the Board of Regents. Dean of Students Donald Carson said he thought the new hours would have a hard time getting by the Board.

"Boards tend to be conservative in nature," Carson said, "and do not take kindly to programs of this nature."

Warren's Speak On Supernatural ■ Freak Week ByJOLEDJ Do you believe in ghosts, spooks, witches, haunted houses, and other similarly related eerie phenomenon Have you developed, while at logwood, an interest in such ghoulish activities due to the flurry of wild rumors which circulate on campufl about 'spirited*' donn visitors or the friendly fiends'' which visit rooms at the midnight hour? Well, if so. then the Student Union had devised an upcoming program Mire t<» stimulate the imagination of the firmest believer and the most sincere sceptic alike! Called "Freak Week" as co-chaired by S-UN member, Becky Tuck and Erin Ue, a number of activities will range from Monday, November 10th, to Thursday, November 13th, varying in form but all designed to entertain and inform the audience or participant.

The official launching of "Freak Week", beginning Monday night at 9:00 p.m., will consist of three horror movies to he shown in the Commons room between Curry and Frazer. The movies, is chosen by the Student Union Films Committee Chairperson, Ann Hanson, are "Dial M for Murder," "Twisted Nerve," and "The Boy cried Werewolf," with an admission price of 50 cents, and free popcorn with coke sold, the atmosphere will be casual, so bring a blanket for the floor, a pillow for your head, and be prepared for a few screams and a lot of laughs!

Tuesday night, "Freak Week" lakes on a partying aspect, with a costume ball to be held in the ABC rooms in the I-ankford Building. Starting around 7 p.m. until about 10:00, with beer, coke, and "real" pizza to be sold, admission will be free for all when attired complete in costume. An invitation to join the partying will be extended to Mampdcn-Sydney, which of come will be necessary in order to get enough suitable contestants to run in the Mr. and Ms. Freak Beauty Pageant, one of the highlights of the evening.

Records will be playing

throughout the night for those who feel inclined to dance, and rumor has it, that none other than Bowman Body (The Bad9) will make a guest appearance that evening to act as "Freak M.C iamong other things!) He will attempt to top off last year's famous IiOngwood campus visit.

On November 12th, Wednesday night, the atmosphere turns to one of the utmost seriousness and inlrigue with the entrance of the Wairens: Seekers of the Supernatural! Fd and Ix)rraine Warren, investigators of the supernatural, will bring background data, photos, slides and taped interviews of their documented case histories of hauntings and witchcraft to Wygal Auditorium at 8:00 p.m.

The Warrens have devoted a lifetime to the study of psychic phenomenon. Lorraine is a clairvoyant and Ed, a researcher and investigator of paranormal activity. Together they have worked with psychiatrists, doctors, priests, ministers and mediums in over 2000 cases and have documented well over 300 of these dealing with human and inhuman spirits which they consider genuine hauntings, poltergeists, spirit possessions, astral projection, demonology and witchcraft.

Their investigations have taken them across the U.S. and to Mexico and Canada.

Ed Warren is considered an expert in his field and is one of the few people ever allowed to view the sacred church files of the case on which, "The Exorcist" was based.

In addition to their extensive lecture tours, the Warrens are professional artists and maintain their own studio and school in New England. It was in fact their interest in painting old houses and New England scenes that brought them in contact with many varieties of "apparitions" and "spirits" that led thein to become seriously involved in the supernatural.

The Warrens have had their own television show and appear frequently on radio and television as guests. They have also been featured in countless

newspapers, magazines and periodicals. Wednesday night's topic will be "Haunted Houses and Ghosts" and will be followed by a question and answer period.

This phase of the program, continued on Thursday afternoon, November 13th, will include visits by Ed and Louise to various classrooms to answer

any additional questions or discuss any subjects as desired by the students. Thursday night, at 8 p.m., once again in Wygal Auditorium, the Warrens will close "Freak Week", speaking on "Witchcraft and Demonology in the United States," as further aided by typed interviews, sworn affidavits, pictures and slides

from both participants and observers in Witchcraft.

Novel in concept and execution, the Longwood Student Union with "Freak Week", when it invades the campus from November the 10th through the 13th, hopes to impress and intrigue, startle and shock, amuse and entertain the students.
