One-Acts: Powerful And Provocative ByRICKVAUGHAN In bringing an evening of OffOff Broadway to Jarman stage, director Douglas Young provided the Ixmgwood community with a unique opportunity to experience one movement in modern American theatre.

This movement reflects the rebellion and upheaval in modern society.

The four one-act plays presented are powerful and provocative.

Mr. Young used one of his favorite tricks, seating the audience onstage, to effectively establish a sense of the intimate surroundings in which these plays were originally produced.

The audience enjoyed the intimacy as it experienced and reacted as a unit, and also recalled the difficulties of intimate theatre as it stumbled over lights and strained to see.

The evening began with songs sung and played by Jacqui

Singleton, Reeny Manley and Glenn I^eftwich, a good way to begin any evening, whether of theatre or not.

The first play, "It's Called a Sugar Plum," by Israil Horowitz, with Buddy Bourne and Tinda Kulp is a somewhat tedious, if occasionally amusing, exploration of the shallowness of personal relationships in modern society.

It was followed by "Birdbath,"

by Teanard Melfi, with Glenn I^ftwich and Karla Myers, in which two powerful characters tell each other about their lives, revealing defenses and strategies for coping with modern life.

"The Unexpurgated Memoirs of Bernard Mergendeiler," by Jules Fieffer, with Reeny Manley and Al Overton, is a short, amusing look at our feelings about sex, and at what we wish were our feelings about sex.

The fourth play, "Motel," by Jean-Claude Van Itallic, with Jacqui Singleton, Jennifer Deane and Glenn I>eftwich, sends the audience home with a not very pleasant look at American society and its direction.

The effectiveness of modern theatre was lost without strong actors. Al Overton and Reeny Manley both presented their parts well. Quite superb performances were given by Glenn I^eftwich and Karla Myers in "Birthbath." Mr. Leftwich have an understanding portrayal, overcoming the subtle difficulties of playing a drinking character.

Ms. Myers gave the most detailed and studied character performance the Longwood stage has seen in years.

Housing Decision To Be Reconsidered

Photo: Public Relations The fate of Cox?

TODAY The Virginia Museum Presents . . .

"THE COMMEDIA" 12:45 In The Gold Room

By DIANE LOWMAN AND RENNIE BRUNO A recent administrative staff decision stated that Cox dormitory next year will house: ground floor — upperclass males, first floor — upperclass females, second floor — freshmen females and third floor — freshmen males and Frazer dormitory will house: second and tenth floors — upperclass men; third through ninth floors — upperclass women. This decision was not well received by everyone on campus.

"We the undersigned students of Longwood College feel that it is unfair to limit upperclass female housing in Cox dormitory to one floor. We have no negative feelings toward upperclass males being housed in Cox. However, we feel that the demand for upperclass housing in Wheeler and Cox will not be satisfied by the present proposal. We feel that other arrangements should be made for the overflow of incoming freshmen."

These are the words of the petitions circulating around the campus by concerned members of the student body. The basic problem is housing the overflow of expected freshmen next year.

The administrative staff that made the decision have such arguments as: 1) The Longwood policy is to keep the freshmen class together by housing them in the same proximity.

2) Anyone who is dispossessed of her room would be upset.

3) The expected overflow of freshmen (number-wise) would most nearly fit into Cox. The primary argument against housing the freshmen in Cox is concerned with taking three floors from Cox, thus closing off sought-after space from the student body. The dorms on the

•main" campus include Tabb, French and the Cunninghams — all freshman dorms; Stubbs — a sorority dorm; Wheeler — upperclass females (housing 176 people); and Cox. Other arguments against housing the freshmen in Cox include: 1) The upperclass women's feeling that they should have priority over incoming freshmen.

2) Rising sophomores feel that with all the occupants of Cox flowing to Wheeler, their only option is to move to the other side of campus, Curry and Frazer.

3) The Wheeler inhabitants who presently have no roommates will be left behind in room draw because the Cox homesteaders have first option after regular homesteaders, and in order to keep the same lifestyle, they must go to Wheeler.

The alternatives include such possibilities as: 1) Placing the overflow of freshmen in Curry and Frazer where they would be together, leaving those dispossessed occupants in the high-rises with many floors of the same lifestyle from which to choose, instead of almost entirely shutting off an important dorm on the "main" campus.

2) Room draw remaining the same, but opening up all dorms on campus to upperclass students (male and females still living on separate halls) and filling the empty spaces with incoming freshmen, which would completely integrate the classes.

Members of the staff have been approached in order to exchange opinions. In most of these cases, the staff members were under the impression that students had been given a chance to speak out at the Press Conference.

Actually, only the question of upperclass male housing was

released to the student body. The placement of overflow freshmen in upperclass dorms was never considered.

Another point that the staff stressed was that they didn't believe that life in the high rises in conducive to freshman living.

The other side of that point includes such views as: 1) Freshman will make the effort to communicate with as many people as possible regardless of where they live.

2) The freshman will meet their close friends through outside activities, and not simply through living on the same hall. Most of the staff now seem ready to listen to both sides more carefully and reconsider the decision.

President Willett has agreed to listen to a committee of Residence Board members, suggesting that an alternate placing of next year's freshmen should be considered. The administrative staff will take the recommendations made into consideration and will make a final decision on housing at the staff meeting on March 3.

Beth Tomlinson- After Miss Longwood 1976

By LISA TURNER Since all of the work on the Miss Ixmgwood Pageant leads up to choosing a contestant for the Miss Virginia pageant, perhaps a story on what this year's winner might expect is in order.

Beth Tomlinson is Miss longwood 1976. She recently gave an account of the grueling, but worthwhile schedule that a Miss Virginia contestant is subjected

to.

After being chosen Miss Longwood last March, Beth began receiving more instruction on the Virginia pageant, which was held in Roanoke in July.

Most of the time between pageants was spent perfecting her modern dance routine. I Beth is a physical education dance major who has just returned from student teaching last semester, i The week of the Pageant was busy but "not as hectic as I'd thought it would be," according to Beth.

Beth was not without a familiar face from home, as Mrs. Margaret ('.

Golubic accompanied her as chaperone.

Rach of the girls must have a chaperone, and a sponsor is allowed as well. Contestants are never allowed to do anything without the permission of their chaperones; because of some problems with strange people In the past, the girls are not to answer the phone, the door, or be left alone for anything but the briefest period of time. In addition, the chaperone must accompany the girl down to the hotel lobby for engagements.

Once in the lobby, the contestant

is placed in the charge of a hostess. This hostess is a prominent woman in the community who is responsible for seeing that the girls get to their engagements on time. Girls are not allowed to speak to any men whatsoever, without her chaperone or hostess present.

This may be a little hard for the girls to get used to, as it applies to fathers and brothers too but it is for the protection of the girl.

According to Beth, the final judges are not announced until the Wednesday preceding the event, and the girls want to avoid being charged with trying to influence a judge at all costs.

Beth claims that she was not worried at all during the Miss Ixmgwood Pageant "I just never considered doing it just to win. . so 1 wasn't too nervous." She wasn't afraid of the audience because she saw them as "mostly just friends."

Once the pageant began, Beth was left with little time for philosophizing; almost all of the day is taken up with scheduled appointments, promotion and pageant preparations. One day the girls spent the entire morning and afternoon at a shopping mall, then found they had 20 minutes to prepare for a formal cocktail party. Beth said that she was sure that a lot of this was planed deliberately to see how much the girls could take. "After a while though, we got used to it. . .the next week I got back and always felt like 'well, where do we have to be next?". . .

The Miss Virginia pageant can be a very costly one. Beth did not have that much trouble meeting expenses for evening gowns as her mother sews very well and made some of the gowns. One

night Beth and her father sat down and figured how much they had paid in expenses for the pageants. "It was more than the scholarship money," Beth noted, "easily several hundred."

Well then, was it worth it? Beth wasn't sure at the time of the contest but has realized since that she gained a lot. She is the happiest with her new selfconfidence. She feels she can now talk more easily with people she doesn't know, or that at least it is not painful anymore. She admitted that the pageant had been a great learning experience, not just because of the new people and situations she was exposed to, but because of the new things she learned about herself. She claims to be more aware of the changes in herself, of her increase in self-confidence.

During the pageant, she feels people expect you to have selfconfidence, and she found that she could live up to what they expected.

She felt that the pageant was a real study in self-discipline. "You have to be on your best behavior at all times. You have to be friendly, outgoing even when you're exhausted, you have to be poised. It is very hard."

Beth says she had begun to notice little changes in her carriage, her walk, her way of looking at herself. She says that learning to be poised under stress has been very valuable, particularly in her student teaching and job interviews. She felt more comfortable in front of her class, and understands how much little gestures can convey to them. She has learned how to present herself, and this is very important when a first impression counts so much.

Travel With Story Theatre

By BRIDGET SCHERZ Over the first few days of Spring Break when many of Longwood's "liberated" will be turning the TV dials — or over in the sun — a small band of Jarman gypsies will be van-ing their way to their next engagement of crow calls and reflective cardboard crowns.

This spring, eleven adventurous souls from the Drama department, including director Dr. Patton Lockwood, will take the Paul Sill's production, "Story Theater," on the road.

The eight actors, (four male, four female) will assume the roles of a kaleidoscope of fairy characters ranging from a peasant king to an infamously flustered chicken. In keeping with Sills' tradition of "Story Theater," set and theatrical lighting will be underplayed, the actors relying chiefly on their own characterizations supported by the use of a variety of generalized props that will represent the identities of the different roles.

Ixmgwood Players will sponsor the production and transportation of the 50 minute show to be presented in six high schools around the state. Linda Carwile, Lisa Pellis, Merle Phelps, Reeny Manley, George Bennet, George Hughes, Buddy Borne and Glen Leftwitch will be performing multiple roles in Roanoke, Norfolk, Richmond and Farmville, wrapping up the tour after a few days break, with a performance on March 21 in the Gold Room at Lankford. Kit Orsey will be stage manager in charge of technical preparations and properties.

Jacqui Singleton and Reeny Manley will be the company's musicians, creating a guitar and recorder ensemble. Jacqui is writing a new series of songs based on the themes of the individual tales that will be worked in between the stories as a kind of musical interlude.

If getting up and coming out of yourself to perform in front of an audience seems like a potentially nerve knarling experience, think about sacrificing a few precious days of Spring Break to do it in — not to mention the preflight of one hour rehearsals running through mid-term week. Merle Phelps, while admitting that it is a demanding experience, felt that the rehearsals and different roles each actor has to play make it, "not harder, but more fun."

Punctuated by a series of well coached crow caws, she added that through the spontaneity of the show she has found an outlet for "constructive letting go.. .its not like work at all."

The company will also be available after each performance to answer any questions or comments if time allows students to remain. Jacqui feels that the tales biggest attraction to the high school kids will be their freshness: they're like "suped-up fairie tales with contemporary quips." She expresses the group's enthusiasm to travel with the show in observing that, "with different places there is a sense of newness, and adjustment to different (types of) stages."

Be sure to catch their last performance March 21 in the Gold Room — and until then, "break a leg" "Story" people, and happy trails. . .

Glenn Leftwich To Audition In Theatre Convention BySTACEYSMITH Glenn Leftwich, a Longwood College sophomore and Drama major, will be participating in the South Eastern Theatre Convention. The Convention will be held from the first to the sixth of March in Norfolk's Holiday Inn Scope.

Glenn explained that the convention will consist of auditions, lectures and workshops for the high school and college student. Those who wish to participate must pre-register and organize a one minute dramatic reading or act, and prepare to sing a selection of their own choice.

Acting directors from up and down the coast will be present to observe the auditions and judge the talent. After the first performance, the directors will have the option of requesting that a participant perform again. The directors will have a "call back sheet" on which they can put the number of a performer, that they would like to see again.

These auditions could lead to a contract from a director for

summer stock, which is anything from a part in a production to crew work, to a full time contract.

Glenn has pre-registered and already has his auditioning number. He has not decided on his performance because he does not want to over study the part.

He explained that if he gets a bid on a contract he would be willing to go with any company and consider any job in the theatre, yet, his preference is acting.

Glenn is the only person from Longwood who is actually auditioning but six to seven others are going to observe. He is excited about the convention and no matter what happens Glenn says he is going to have a good time.

By DEBBIE NORTHERN The Class of 1980 will present Freshman Production Thursday, March 3, in Jarman at 8:00 p. m.

There is no admission and everyone is invited to come see the talented Freshmen at work.

Essentially, the Production is a skit which is cast, written, produced, and managed entirely by volunteers of the Freshman class. Its purpose is to create class unity and provide entertainment. This year's skit is entitled "Ixmgwood, What More Can We Say." There are two sections. The first shows the Ix>ngwood of the 20's through 40's when the rules and activities were much different than today's. Then there is a segment dating from the 50s to the 70's which features a dance segment to an Andrew's Sister Song, the preferred male list from Longwood i960, and modern, times with a male fraternity on campus.

Almost 50 freshmen are participating in this event, helping in all the necessary phases, such as lights, sound, costumes, and make-up.

Sue Transue, Freshman Production Chairman and director, said, "The Freshmen are working hard together this year.

This (Freshman Production) might not be a Broadway Production, but the Freshmen have gotten into it with their hearts and souls." Karen Kreger is her assistant director.

Refreshments will be sold at intermission to raise funds for the Freshman Scholarship. The Freshmen hope there will be a large turnout to complement their hard work and originality.

The Arts: The Drama ( The World Of Improvization Ky JANTURNER Vs you are seated in the theatre, the stage curtains part and a number of brightly dressed figures appear before you.

Something exciting is about to lake place. The actors and actresses aren't dressed in modern day garb, but in costumes depicting an earlier age. The one thing that is so different from a usual performance is that this play is unrehearsed, it is all unprovisational. They are only given their cues before the performance, and the rest is up to theni This traveling group of actors and actressed are called ihe Commedia Dell'Arte, which means comedy of artists.

Actually developed in the late fifteenth century, this theatre group didn't become professional until the early sixteenth century.

It has been very difficult tracing them back that far because there are no scripts available. All of their dialogue was improvisation and included mime, acrobatic stunts, tricks, soliloquies, slapstick, romance, dance and music They travelled all over Europe and earned what money they could Fairs and festivals in market places or castles attracted their appearances.

The plays were based on old Greek and Roman comedies, usually plays of Plautus and Terrence. They contained many plots concerned with mistaken identity, conflicts between old husbands and young wives,

rascalry, and even tender romance. But marital infidelity had the others well beaten, for it was the most popular. There were many love triangles, and ridiculous situations arose from them. The subject of these plays really showed human weakness exposed by a sharp, but playful invention.

The actors were brilliant; they had to be for the performance's success. Being prepared to pick up lines from other characters and instantly respond was the outcome of their constant teamwork and devotion. Each person had their own character and remained the same one, refining it as the years went by.

The characters were traditional ones, such as the sweetheart, braggart, knave, dupe, and old man.

They made many wisecracks, speeches, and played tricks on each other.

There were two types of characters in the Commedia Dell'Arte; the comic and the straight. Comic characters performed the most important parts, while the straight characters were the ones interested in love and made romantic interpretations. The characters varied within the different companies. The most famous comic character was Arlecchino. He was more or less a numbskull servant; a simple man but full of pranks. One of the most amusing was Harlequin, who was a dancer and acrobat.

He captured the imaginations of

writers, musicians, and artists for centuries. Others included Pantalone, the Captain, and Pulcinella.

It would seem only right to put the lovers in the comic category, but they were just the opposite.

Lovers were the "straight" characters. All their talent lay in their faces. They were usually played by men of wealth and of "good" family. The love scenes were so far-fetched though, that they were absurd and almost unbelievable. Famous lovers included Fabio, Ottavio, Silvio, Flavio, and I-eandro.

And, maybe to your amazement, women WERE allowed to participate in the Commedia-but only in France were they welcomed. It wasn't

until the eighteenth century that they were allowed to perform on stage in the Papal States. The "nice" women, the ones always in love and very desirable, were called the Innamoratas. They wore no masks and were usually dressed in high society's fashion.

Flaminia, Lavinia, Aurelia, and the most famous Isabella, were the Innamoratas of their time.

However, there were also "bad" women-women that were extremely buxom and used outrageous words. The name for these girls was the Soubrettes, including Olivetta, Smermaldina, and the ever popular Columbine.

The scenery was portable and could be carried along with them wherever they went. It consisted of a stage, curtain, and any stage

Minstrel Man

CBS Explores American Theatrical Form

By SANDY WILLIAMS Revisit the fascinating era of black minstrelsy by viewing the dramatic musical special "Minstrel Man," a "Mobil Showcase Presentation" to be broadcast Wednesday, March 2, 9:00 p.m. on the CBS Television Network.

Filmed on location in Mississippi, "Minstrel Man" is the drama of two brothers, Rennie and Harry Brown, born into the minstrel tradition.

Though they are captivated by it in their individual ways, together they wanted to change it from within.

Why change it? Well, there was the drudgery involved in traveling from city to city in search of fame and money and there was the humiliation of their song, dance, joke, and dialogue acts not being well received by the audience. However, in 'Minstrel Man," Harry, the dancing, singing hustler, and Rennie, the ragtime pianist, change the face of American music by overcoming the demeaning sneers, and coercing their fellow performers to laugh with the audience.

Because American minstrelsy was a type of stage production Photo: CBS which flourished from early 1800

to early 1900, it was one of the oldest settings for Black professionals. Legend and fact showed that Blacks were responsible for the embryonic stages of American minstrelsy, and that many were involved in musical contributions as to form, style, instrumentation and performance practices.

The overall form of the show resembled an operetta in that its main elements of dance, spoken dialogue, and song were similarly written. While the operetta was most related to the opera because of its quality of music drama, the minstrel show was not necessarily a story, but rather a series of events arranged into scenes and acts.

The special stars are Glynn Turman, Ted Ross, Stanley Clay, and Saundra Sharp. Fred Karlin, the music director, composed original music for the film which also features actual songs from the minstrel stage. The dance sequence was prepared by the Tony A ward-winning choreographer, Donald McKayle.

This drama about Negro minstrelsy, America's only native theatrical form, should be extremely entertaining in addition to being historically significant.

properties they might have needed. The actors entered onto the stage by way of small ladders that were placed on either side.

Fireworks, colored lights, and fountains with colored water were used to make the play even more exciting.

To hold all of this talent together and produce good shows, the actors had to be familiar with each other's style.

They often intermarried, and the acting tradition was handed down generation after generation. The Commedia influenced all of Europe for two hundred years.

The plays were seen by all classes of people and were a universal success. Music and pantomime made their performances clear, even to those who couldn't understand their language. They were always on the move, as they were sought out by churches and civic authorities in many places.

Nearing to the end of the eighteenth century, Commedia Dell'Arte was losing its popularity. It just didn't appeal to the same people as it did before.

But it did influence important writers such as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Moliere, and George Chapman. The Commedia gave us the famous characters Harlequin, Columbine and Pierrot. They had reflected the ancient mime that started in Greece hundreds of years before.

They brought to the world of drama something new and exciting-something that had been unexperienced. The theatre owes a lot to these early troupes, and it is good to know that the Commedia has been revived again for our enjoyment. Will they survive? An answer isn't at hand at the moment, but let's hope so!

f Humanity Persichetti Featured In Music Symposium

By IKE R. STONEBERGER The halls and the classrooms of Wygal are filled with enough activity to tire anyone other than a music major. All that rushing around is something more than routine.

If you were to walk into Wygal Hall today you would sense a change in the pace (it's faster than ever), a feeling of expectancy, like the dare-devil who reaches for the electric barbed-wire anticipating the charge he'll receive from it. The entire Music Department is preparing for a distinguished visitor.

The Longwood College Department of Music is presenting a "Contemporary Music Symposium" with the visiting composer Vincent Persichetti on March 3 and 4, in Wygal Hall.

Dr. Persichetti began his musical life at the age of 5, first studying piano, then organ, double bass, tuba, theory and composition. A virtuoso pianist and organist, he combined extraordinary versatility with an osmotic musical mind, and his earliest published works, written when he was 14, exhibit mastery of form, medium, and style.

Over the years, Persichetti has been accorded many honors by the artistic and academic communities, including Honorary Doctor of Music degrees from Combs College and Bucknell University, and Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts Degree from Baldwin-Wallace College and honorary membership in numerous musical fraternities. He has appeared as guest composer at Swarthmore College, Hopkins

Center Congregation of the Arts, and Aspen Music Festival and is an advisor to the MENC-Ford Foundation.

The events surrounding the premiere of his "Lincoln Address," which appeared on TV and other news media, helped to focus worldwide attention on Persichetti's music.

Persichetti has composed for nearly every musical medium.

More than 95 of his works are published and many of these are available on records. His piano music comprises a complete body of literature in itself. His unusual feeling for poetry has produced numerous vocal and choral compositions of remarkably high literary and musical quality. His greatest solo vocal work is undoubtedly Harmonium, an impressive cycle of 20 closely interrelated songs to poems by Wallace Stevens.

The Rotunda was able to secure a tentative schedule of activities for those two days. It is evident, by the schedule below, that Dr. Persichetti will be a well-utilized resource while on the campus of Longwood College: Thursday 9:25 a.m. Discussion with Freshman Theory Class 10:60 a.m. Informal time, with student composers to look at manuscripts 1:00 p.m. Formal Forum lecture 2-4:00 p.m. Working with students on their works, songs, vocal solos, etc.

7:00 p.m. Dress rehearsal for Friday's concert, excluding band Friday 9-10:00 a.m. Meet with students performing Persichetti works 10:00 a.m. Talk to Sophomore

Theory class 11:00 a.m. Work with Camerata Singers on E. E. Cummings choruses 1-3:00 p.m. More time working with student composers and performers 4-5:30 p.m. Rehearsal with band 8:00 p.m. Concert with reception to follow The concert Friday night, March 4, at 8:00 p.m. in Molnar Recital Hall, will feature some of Persichetti's major pieces performed by I/Migwood College students and faculty. Some highlights of the program will include "Four Cummings Choruses" Op. 98, "James Joyce Songs" Op. 74, and "Emily Dickinson Songs" Op. 77 for those with literary-musical tastes. His "Poems for Piano" Vol. I Op. 4, performed by five Longwood students, and "Sonata for Harpsichord" Op. 52, performed

by Dr. Hesselink promise to show the fine qualities of the composer as well as the performers.

Of special interest will be the final piece on the program, "Pageant" Op. 59, performed by the Longwood College Concert Band and the Randolph-Henry High School Concert Band. This will be the first formal concert featuring the newly organized Ixmgwood Concert Band.

All activities for the two days and evenings are free of charge and are open to the public. There is, however, limited seating in Molnar Hall, so it is advisable to obtain a reservation if you wish to witness two events: The visit of a great artist-composer, Vincent Persichetti, and the performance of his works.

By BRIDGET SCHERZ Once upon a time, 1970 to be exact, Henry Penny, Ducky Daddies and Turkey Lurkey waddled down the "Great White Way" into the Ambassador Theater in a production that NY Times critic Clive Barnes called "a play for people who plays."

The show, "Story Theater," is a collection of fables, songs and fairie stories adapted for the stage by director Paul Sills.

Sills approached the delivery of such tales as "The Bremen Town Musicians," "The Master Theif," and "The Golden Goose" through the familiar manner of the bedtime story. Actors are both the characters as well as their narrators, speaking of themselves in the first and third person. This technique seems to have an unusual potential to enhance a sense of intamacy between the audience and the actors. The actors, by virtue of their "telling" of the story, acknowledge the audience, encouraging their imaginations through a mixture of character dialogue and mime. The opening of "Henny Penny" in which Henny Penny, pecking the ground and begins to speak, is a

i

good illustration of these three techniques: HENNY PENNY: This is the story of Henny Penny. One day Henny Penny was out in the barnyard pecking for corn when all of a sudden, something hit her on the head. "Dear me, the sky is falling. I better go tell the king."

This type of theater depends, to a large extent, on the individual actor's ability to produce an image. There is no elaborate scenery. Costume interpretation aims at representations of the character through the use of certain cliche props and accessories such as a crown and staff for a king or an apron and bandana to denote a peasant girl.

The technical simplicity makes the actors' roles that much more demanding. The responsibility of convincing the audience without the visual aides of scenery and elaborate lighting compels the actors to exaggerate the characters in an extremely kinetic portrayal.

Abscence of scenery also implies that there is little visual preoccupation for the members of the audience who may become restless or disinterested. Thus another qualification for an

Masterpieces Of Pre-Columbian Art

By LISA TURNER "Masterpieces of PreColumbian Art" is a new exhibit featured by one of the Virginia Museum's Artmobiles, which will arrive at Longwood on March 7-8, in the Bedford Building Parking lot.

Pre-Columbian art is a relatively new field of art study.

It is a predominately 20th century phenomenon; most of the knowledge has been gained from recent study of architecture and artifacts. Finding these has been somewhat difficult as South American cultures have sometimes migrated, leaving few traces of their previous settlements, and the art which does remain is subject to climate, the effects of time, devastation and theft. Although all archaelogical finds are supposed to belong to the government for distribution to museums, some pieces are lost along the way.

Included in this collection are sculpture, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, metal-work, and woodwork. The objects in this particular exhibit represent a variety of Pre-Columbian cultures, and are related to predominantly symbolic and religious functions. According to Edway Jones, exhibition assistant in charge of this particular function, "In motivations, Pre-Columbian art is closer to the art of the Middle Ages than to any other tradition in European culture."

However, "New World artists were not overly concerned with naturalistic representations of the world around them, they transformed objects and beliefs into imaginative images of their unique cultures."

Pre-Columbian refers,

effective "Story Theater" player — he must be able to maintain both a high sense of energy and a relatively fast pace.

When askes what type of audience "Story Theater" is directed toward, Dr. Lockwood, director of I x>ng wood's "Story Theater" touring production, pointed out that it is "deeper than just child-like amusement." He also shared a personal feeling of his own, derived from the observations of psychologist Jung, about the nature of many children's stories; "in mythology and folk stories can be found archetypes which are fundamental to the nature of man and reveal certain basic truths about him."

Yamlni Krlshnamurti "Story Theater" was created to bring life to those classic stories South Indian dancer to entertain and maybe in the to perform process, suggest the messages Wed., March 9 that lie behind them. What type of people appreciate the trials and 8:00 p.m. tribulations of a paranoid chicken in squawking about, of all the Culbreth Theatre, absurdities, the sky falling? at Those people, according to Clive Barnes, who are sensitive "to the I University of Virginia difference between childlike and V Student tickets $2.50 childish."

obviously enough, to early American civilizations before they were affected by Spanish conquerors and other outside influences. Their ancestors migrated from Asia over the Bering Strait some 35-50 thousand years ago. PreColumbian cultures varied a great deal, both from nearby civilizations and contemporary art in Europe. Present knowledge of Pre-Columbian art is actually a "brief glimpse" into I heir world, according to Jones, as not much is known about their development as a whole.

Most of the high civilizations of the pre-Columbian period spread from central Mexico south to Central America and down the tip to what is now Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru. The Olmec and Chavin civilizations were among the earliest; they were already considered "ancient" by the time of the Incas and Aztecs.

(1400-1600 AD) The Chavins flourished in Peru from 500-300 BC; There is one piece of Chavin art; it is a small vessel in the form of a seated man. | Whenever possible, Pre-Columbians gave, human and animal characteristics to their artwork.

The Mayan culture provided most of the pieces in this collection; there are two vases, a bowl and a relief fragment. The Mayans lived in Mexico. A very advanced culture, they disappeared before the first (iothic Cathedral was built in Europe.

A serpent head carving in a relic of the Aztec culture of Mexico. The Aztecs are perhaps the best known of the PreColumbian cultures. A proud and very warlike nation, they were conquered by Cortez in the 16th century.

The Incas were another advanced culture. They lived around the time of the Aztecs, but were much more peaceful. A drinking vessel from this age remains in the collection. The Incas too were devastated by the Spanish; this time at the hands of Pizarro.

According to Jones, the destruction of the Aztecs and the incas terminated the development of Indian culture in Mexico and South America.

Men Lose To Southside 58-55

By DEBBIE NORTHERN The Ixmgwood men's basketball team, in their second game against Southside Community College, made a poor showing Tuesday, Feb. 22. Their loss to Southside set their season's record at 2-11.

Ixnigwood got the fast breaks, but were just cold when it came to shooting.

Their shot percentage of about 15 per cent for the game proves this.

At the end of the first half, L C. was down by five (27-22) despite the good drive shown by the team in the last minutes of the half to try to cut down the visitors' margin The only bright spot of the game was I-ongwood's defense.

They kept pressing Southside < a using turnovers and used a ■ iglit zone in the second half. This kepi Southside from scoring for several minutes.

In the second half of the game, Long wood managed to tie the score 35 all. Roth teams then had a slump when neither of them could put points on the board.

L.C. fell behind again but trailed

by only two points in the last seconds. Despite the rally, I-ongwood was defeated 58-55.

The game was very physical, with a few fists being thrown. The referees, who were not used to working with each other, disagreed on several calls. They aroused the onlookers' wrath when they made, what appeared to be some bad calls on longwood. This does not mean to say that they called a poor game since in reality longwood got many breaks also in regard to the foul situation.

Coach McNamee felt that his team should have won the game, if we hold a team down to only 58 points, then we should definitely win." The team, though, just could not get itself together. Southside was able to get results by hustling down the court. McNamee felt his team was just overconfident and not mentally prepared for the game.

They definitely did not live up to the caliber of their performance against Averett, when they played a marvelous offensive game, not an entirely defensive one.

Southside Takes Faculty Game

By DEBBIE NORTHERN The male LongWOOd faculty got a i an chance on February 22 to demonstrate their athletic abilities when they took on the Southside Community College faculty in a basketball game.

At first the Ixnigwood faculty seemed disorganized compared to the Southside team, who looked as if they had a few practices together. The only time the IxHlgOOd team practiced was on Saturday afternoon.

But as LC got warmed up, their passes and shots began to get better, President Willett was hot from the corner for a while and Dr. Lund popped in a turn-around jumper. Unfortunately, their defense just could not stop the Southside drives.

Of course, Southside had some lucky breaks. Take, for example, the bomb pass that went through the hoop too bad it was one of the baskets on the side of the court.

All in all the faculty team ((imposed of President Henry Willett, Dr. Michael Lund. Dr. Vernon Alexander, Dr. Hightower, Dr. James McAvaddy, Mr. Mike Barree, Mr. George Bristol, and Mr. Mitchell, did a good job. "Coach" Dalton called the plays from the

sidelines. D. J. Lindsay and Dave Stack were the referees.

Some of the L.C. team members had not played basketball in years and enjoyed this opportunity to play. Several of the Ixmgwood faculty said they would like to play a re-match game NEXT year.

Southside led at the half 34-19 and took the game 54-31.

By DEANNA VanWEY Yes, Longwood does have a men's fencing team. It was an interest group, until last spring, when it got its intercollegiate status. Due to lack of enough participation, right now it is an individual group competing with only the foil and sabre. Next year the team expects to compete quite a bit more and also add the epee to its weapons for competition.

This year's team members are: Steve Frank, who acts as captain of the team, Charlie Mason, D.J. Lindsey, Dave Yerkes, Larry Frost, Norman Harris, Randy May, and Bill Breedon.

The team's first match was against Lynchburg College last week, which Longwood lost 9-0.

Only one team member, Steve Frank, has ever fenced competitively before, so with a little more experience the team should start looking good. So come out and support the team.

Wanna Play Some Competitive Basketball?

By DEANNA VANWEY The basketball intramurals, sponsored by the IAA, are in progress right now and could really use some more participation, so if you want to play, get in touch with your dorm or sorority IAA representative.

In the tournament, so far, many teams are in the running.

Some of the better looking teams right now are North Cunningham, South Cunningham, and Frazer,

although many others could easily catch up in the competition.

These intramurals are run entirely on the volunteer basis and the people that have been refereeing, Kathy Forthhuber and Cheryl Harisston, who organized it, should really be recognized for all their hard work.

The best of luck to all the teams. The Championship game will be played March 9.

Loses Two

By DEANNA VANWEY Longwood's women's fencing team had a rough time this week.

They played the University of North Carolina and Lynchburg and lost both matches.

Although longwood did give University of North Carolina a good scare, they came out losing 10*. Most of the matches were very close, University of North Carolina was just the more experienced team and got ahead.

Against Lynchburg College, Longwood lost 9-7. What really hurt Longwood in this match were the duals that went to labelle. Out of eight matches that went to labelle, Longwood only won one.

The team's next match is March 2 with UVA. Sectionals start March 4, at George Mason University.

FROM THE EDITOR .

During the next two weeks there will be many and varied cultural events well worth taking advantage of.

For this reason pages four and five, which usually contain editorials and reviews, have been devoted to the arts, the languages of man.

Within the reach of every student, and at no charge, the events cover most of the arts. The music department is sponsoring a music symposium featuring composer Persichetti; the art department is featuring the premier of Dr. Hooker's film, "Sculptor From Dry Bridge," sponsoring the artmobile next week, and sponsoring the exhibit of contemporary prints in Bedford Gallery. The Commedia being presented this afternoon by the Virginia Museum should prove to be lively and entertaining to all. For those interested in theatrics, this is just the beginning — catch the CBS special "Minstrel Man" tomorrow night, and the Theatre West Virginia's performance of "She Stoops To Conquer" next week. And there's more!

This is an excellent time to be exposed to the arts, an art which you are familiar with, or an art which you'd like to break into. The opportunities are there, asking to be taken advantage of.

SPORT FOLLIES

By DIANNE HARWOOD Well, sports fans, it's back to the drawing board for the girl's basketball team. The squad dropped their last two games of the regular season to Norfolk State and the University of Virginia, thus dropping them to a lowly seventh place (out of eight teams) in the state rankings. And it's a damn shame — the girls have the potential of state champions. Goodness only knows what is keeping them from reaching their potential.

The loss of Norfolk State should not have been. The girls held a 3426 half-time lead, and lead up until the final minutes. With 1:56 left in the game, Ixmgwood was up by two, 60-58. However, fifty seconds later, the tables were turned and State had the twopoint edge, 62-60.

The Spartanettes finished off with a last second jump shot to end the game in their favor, 64-60. Sue Rama and Maryjane Smith were high point-getters for longwood with sixteen and fourteen points, respectively.

And the game with U. Va.? A bit unusual, to say the least. LC shot a poor 29 per cent from the floor, but U. Va. didn't do too much better. The officials were "terrible" (the word I would have liked to use would have been deleted), but that is no excuse, either. Linda Baumler and Sue Rama had three and four fouls respectively at the end of the first half, and they, along with Melissa Wiggins, left the second half with five (sic). Longwood hit six foul shots to Virginia's nineteen.

U.Va. had a 41-25 half-time lead, and increased this lead early in the second half when LC could only score five points in the first seven and a half minutes.

Longwood towered above the Cavaliers; yet were outrebounded 68-57. Final score: Ixmgwood 56, U.Va. 77.

The state tournament starts Thursday, and Longwood will square off against Norfolk State.

For all the loyal fans who have remained loyal, it will cost you a

il_

dollar or two to get in. So since the majority of us are majoring in extracurricular activities, come on down Thursday or Friday and watch the game of basketball "at its finest."

Scorecard: Longwood vs.

Norfolk State Sanders: 1-0-2; McCraw: 1-24; Wiggins: 0-0-0; Baumler: 5-111; Brown: 0-0-0; Henshaw: 1-02; Stowe: 3-1-7; Donohue: 0-0-0; Fox: 1-2-4; Smith: 6-2-14; Rama: 7-2-16.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, In reference to the Rotunda article on "Male Housing Dominates Press Conference,"

by Billy Rogers, what alternative is going to be left to the nonsorority girls who wish to live in a single-sexed dorm? The choices given were Curry, Stubbs, French, North Cunningham, and Main Cunningham. Stubbs is a sorority dorm. French, North, and Main are freshman dorms. Men, consider the fact that many of you do not wish to live in a highrise dorm, so why would nonsorority, upperclassmen girls who wish to live in a single-sexed dorm choose to live in the highrise? The article regarding the press conference leads one to believe that a high-rise dorm is the only choice left.

Until the male population at

I .or in wood is large enough to justify the need for a male floor in each dorm, it stands to reason that male housing will only be available in a few dorms. The gripe of wanting to move into the most convenient dorm is legitimate but, possibly a little ahead of its time. I do not believe any new minority in any given situation can demand complete reform to suit their needs immediately, unless of course, the needs are of a critical nature.

Constructive change that offers the most benefit to everyone normally takes time.

Sincerely, Tricia Whitehurst

in which I supported Mr Watkins' letter that opposed publicizing the perverse ways of some of Longwood's students. In my letter I started that a normal Longwood student should not be subject to possible ridicule and discrimination by relatives, friends and prospective employers because some of their colleagues publicize their sexual invertness.

I am displeased that a long unsigned invert's letter was published in the February 1 issue of The Rotunda with no opposing views being printed The Rotunda is not supported by gay students only. I hope that from now on The Rotunda will serve not only minority groups, but all of Dear Editor, IiOngwood's students.

Sincerely, I am writing this letter in Dennis Hevener regard to your failure to publish my Dec. 1976 letter to the Editor

Big-Name Bands

"Tuesdau.-.

(Continued from Page 2) lo Conquer Incidently, Gene Cotton, who was here two years ago while on his way up, is coming back at a discount to longwood because he likes the school, its people and its hospitality.

"Students don't know what they're missing by not coming to a concert. Through the activity fee, they are paying for half of the concert anyway, so why not enjoy your half? If you don't know what kind of music the band plays, listen to the radio station in Crewe, which does plugs for the bands, or stop any S-UN member, or come by the office. We have to charge something for these concerts because our budget doesn't allow for all expenses, it isn't fair to blow all the money on a concert that only a few people like, and there is the expense of housing, food, tickets, and crews for the concert. The money isn't easily made up."
