Bill Macdonald To Highlight Week Of L'Adventure Cousteau Wednesday evening at 8:00 in Jarman Auditorium, photographer Bill Macdonald will present a lecture film on the career of Jacques Cousteau.

Bill Macdonald has been a sea world enthusiast since childhood.

With mounting interest, he took up underwater photography.

In 1967 Bill received a B.A. from Long Beach State University, and was a certified Underwater Instructor. In 1968 he held the position of director for the Advanced Diver Program for the Underwater Unit of the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department. 1972 brought him to the U.S. Divers Company as California sales manager, and west coast Public Relations Coordinator.

Several films which Bill has produced have been shown worldwide. His photographs have been published in books, magazines, and on filmstriDS.

Bill first worked with the Cousteau Society during the filming of "Seabirds of Isabella." He is now the Coordinator of Special Projects for the Cousteau Society.

"The Cousteau Story" is a ninety-minute film exploring the career of Jacques Cousteau. The film begins with sections of various explorations, aqualung dives into wrecks (one being a Roman wreck of the third century B.C.) and caves. It also includes filming of Cousteau's first manned submersible, which extended man's diving limits to the continental shelf.

The film concludes with the Cousteau Society's dedication to the quality of life on Earth, with Jacques and Philippe Cousteau voicing opinions about some of the vital issues of our tune.

All events start at 8:00 p.m. and take place in the Gold Room, with the exception on Friday's movie.

Cousteau film "The Unsinkable Sea Otter" will be shown. There is no admission fee.

The Uvely and vivacious sea otter, once considered extinct but now making an amazing reappearance on the coast of California, is once again in danger of extinction, and once again the danger is man. The sea otter, as we learned from the underwater scientist Jacques Cousteau in his television special, "The Unsinkable Sea Otter," is making a comeback in the middle of one of California's most popular boating centers.

Naturalists who are studying the animal fear that he may be lost as a result of being run down by motor boats and their lethal spinning propellers. Probably the most intelligent of all sea mammals, Cousteau and his divers shot never-before witnessed scenes of otters using rocks as tools while floating on

their backs, and smashing sea urchins to bits that lie on their bellies. They will then use their bellies as tables for fellow otters to eat from. Unlike the whale and walrus, otters have no thick skin but have a luxurious fur to keep them warm while in cold water.

To keep up body functions, the sea otter must consume 15-20 lbs. of food per day. Captain Cousteau and his crew have once again captured the unexplored in exciting sequences that could only be observed by the instinctive lens of this great oceanographer in "The Unsinkable Sea Otter."

Friday afternoon at 4:00 in Jeffers, another Cousteau film will be presented, "Lagoon of Lost Ships." In the never-before filmed sequences of the Jacques Cousteau special, "Lagoon of Lost Ships," we plunge downward to 50 sunken Japanese naval vessels unseen and

untouched by man for a quarter of a century. The vessels lie in 300 feet of water on the bottom of Truk lagoon—the victim of U.S. Navy dive bombers during a World War II raid on the former Japanese Naval fortress. Captain Cousteau and his divers found the ship's guns still pointing skyward, attesting to the fighting in progress while the ships were sinking. In the startling sequences, Cousteau's cameras probe the dark interiors of the ships, entering through huge torpedo holes in their sides.

There, virtually intact, they find blankets still folded, items of clothing, gas masks and eating utensils, along with other artifacts of war. Oddly, marine life has adopted the entire ship as a haven. Coral growth abounds colorfully everywhere exquisite reminders of how the sea can transform the "folly of man" into grotesque beauty 25 years later.

Beginning Legislative Board this week voted on proposals to reconstruct Publications Board. For several years now, this committee has basically existed in name only. A definite problem has been the lack of a tangible purpose coupled with the lack of a cooperative effort by the membership in establishing any goals. One of the best things to happen to Publications Board has been its i revaluation by Legislative Board. Impartial students scrutinized its workings and objectively made suggestions lor revamping it.

The purpose of Publications Board is to promote interest in the three publications, to bring them closer

together, to make recommendations of editors and business managers, to be open to complaints and suggestions, and to serve as a liaison between the publications andLegislative Board. The last purpose is ►nc of the most important. It has seemed that Publications Board has almost been a separate entity with no one aware of its reason for existence. As a liaison, Legislative Board members and the student body as a

whole can become more aware of the

workings of the publications and can give better input to I hem. Publications are presented to, by, and for the students. There is not a select staff— all who want to express themselves can, and there is no excuse for any criticism that the feelings of the student body are not represented.

It was a busy voting night for Legislative Board, October 11, at its meeting in the Commons Room. Emily Burgwyn presented five proposals from the Ad Hoc Committee on Legislative Board Committee Evaluation. Two proposals were accepted unanimously by the Legislative Board members present. The first proposal dealt with attendance policy for Legislative Board members. Starting October 18, Legislative Board members will be allowed on unexcused and two excused absences per semester. More

than the allowed absences will result in expulsion from the board. All excuses must be submitted in writing to the Legislative Board chairman, prior to the meeting. The second proposal dealt with the grade point average of Legislative Board committee members.

While a 2.00 G.P.A. is not required, no student on Academic Probation will be allowed to serve on a Legislative Board committee.

Letter to the Editor:

An Open Letter Dear Editor, This is an open letter to the student body, ANYBODY and EVERYBODY-are you listening?! I am formally and cordially inviting anyone up to the kitchen on sixth floor Curry.

In the kitchen you will find a refrigerator, and you will probably find a bag labeled 621.

In the bag you MAY find food—a little bit of this and a little bit of that. As it seems that everyone on the hall takes advantage of the bag's contents, I see no reason why all should not be entitled to partake of the feast.

Should you find that the bag is in any way closed—with masking tape, staples, or the like—please feel free to remove any obstacle which hinders your access to the contents. Enjoy yourselves!

Many thanks, Margaret Hammersley Susan Waxmunski

Players To Be 'The Glass Menagerie'

By TRISH HOWLAND Yes, the Longwood Players are already at it again. Try-outs were held last week for the upcoming production of Tennessee Williams' American classic THE GLASS MENAGERIEresulting in a dynamic cast of upperclassmen. The leading female role, Amanda Wingfield, will be carried by Longwood junior, Patti Carr, who will be making her acting debut on Jarman Stage. A character analysis from Williams' original script states that Amanda is "a little woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place There is much to admire in Amanda, and as much to love and pity as there is to laugh at. Certainly she has endurance and a kind of heroism, and though her foolishness makes

her unwittingly cruel at times, there is tenderness in her slight person."

Laura Wingfield, Amanda's daughter, will be presented by Longwood sophomore Bene Blake. Bene will also be making her acting debut on Jarman's Main Stage, although she has been seen in several one-acts, including Jacqui Singleton's oneact musical, "Michael and Cheeta." Bene's character, Laura, is said by the playwright to be "like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to remove from the shelf."

Glenn Leftwich, a Longwood sophomore transfer student from VCU, will present Williams' classic fire-escape character, Tom. Also the narrator of the play, Tom is "a poet with a job in a warehouse. His nature is not

Muriel Bach Re-creates Boat Rocking Women

By JO LEI LI Professional, warm and humorous performer Muriel Bach dominated the stage Tuesday night, October 12th, as the Student Union sponsored a unique 50 minute presentation entitled "Lady You're Rocking the Boat!"

Held in the Gold Room the brilliant costume changes and displays alone were well worth the low admission fee. Building her entire monologue around the stark setting of a chair 2 tables and wire clothes screen housing her costumes, Ms. Bach soley created the realistic, believable existance of numerous characters as she spanned a 200 year time period.

Abigail Adams, the wife of the second president of the United States and mother of the sixth, was the first woman to appear stage left via front steps, to make known her feminist 1776 views.

Barbed in a white "pretty nightcap" and flowing thick chestnut hair, "Abigail" irratley voiced her discontent with the Declaration of Independence and the fact that "Live, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness pertains to the wives too!" Not too subtely dominating Adams, Abigail exclaimed how "All men would be tyrants if they could!"

The close of this set revealed the key to Ms. Bach's ability to provide a non-stop, flowing rhythm to her performance, as a long black gown worn during her transitional narrations also served as the undergarment for each costume change. Thus, with the disappearance of Abigail, Ms. Bach on stage, but behind the clothes hanger and continuously narrating became Catherine Greene, widow and owner of a debt ridden southern plantation. A pink cheek, hoop wired skirt, tight pink ribboned bodice with flowing white sleeves, and wide brimmed pink hat clothed this determined 1792 woman. Speaking to her "imaginary" boarder, Yale graduate Eli Whitney, Catherine revealed how it was actually her effective advice which developed the cotton gin, one of the most economically influential inventions of all time.

Then, graduating to the 1840's, the gray haired, spectacled, black and gray "satin-ed" Lydia Pinkham strutted on stage to

promote her vegetable compound. Bound within the energies of this one female were exposed the components of inventor, healer, humourist, and a ground breaker who believed thoroughly in "night air, daily baths, and roughage for the female body!" Inspired the notorious Ms. Pinkham, believing that "The health of women is the hope of the race!" decided to "write a book, about everything I know about the facts of life! and... it will even have illustrations of the female pelvis and all that's in it!" In this act, Ms. Bach illustrated the evolution of the first sexually oriented manual "The facts of Life Treatise."

Changing the comedy pace, the seriously dramatic Eliza Young, the 27th wife of Norman Leader and active polygamist Brigham Young, pleaded hercase for a divorce and freedom from possession. A heavy crimson colored, crushed velvet gown, with embroidered blue cuffs and a ruffled bottom skirt clothed Eliza, who "could not abide by the other 26 wives!" eventually helped outlaw polygamy in the U.S. by giving hundreds of public speeches cross country.

The "Literary tease" Gertrude Stein also made a stage appearance for the Lankford audience in the post depression 1930's. Ms. Bach proved this character at a lecture, when upon answering questions, explained her famous line "the meaning of a rose is a rose is arose!" Bold, witty and lightening quick, heavy set, graying Ms. Stein ended her questioner's barrage with a final "why don't I write the way I talk? Why don't you read the way I write!"

A naturally fitting end to the program found 77 year old Eleanor Roosevelt who "loved to knit but hated to sit," attired in a silver L'ame patterned gown center stage, celebrating her final New Year's party in 1961. In this portrayal, Ms. Bach superbly reproduced a likeness amazing not only in physical structure but especially in the characteristic "don't treat me like an old lady!"

Eleanor's gruffness discussing politics, people, discrimination, and feelings, Eleanor closed the set of "Boat Rocking Women," with a toast to family, friends, and of course, the United States.

remorseless, but to escape from a trap he has to act without pity."

Jim O'Conner, the gentleman caller, and also the most real character within the play, will be portrayed by Longwood sophomore, Alan Boone.

Although the gentleman caller's role may seem insignificant, his appearance in the second act makes the plight of Amanda, Tom and Laura most evidently a grave sense of isolation.

The production, which will open November 10th and run through November 13th, is under the direction of Dr. Patton Lockwood, assisted by Longwood junior, Lee Murray. Theme music for the production of THE GLASS MENAGERIE has been created and will be performed live each evening by Jacqui Singleton. The set and lighting have been designed by Ben Emerson, both of which provide the mood for the play, set in the 1930's. Complimenting the set, lights and actors will be the costumes, designed by Trish Howland.

Heading the backstage crews will be Brenda Ragsdale, stage manager; Meryl Phelps, set; Trish Howland, lights; Cassie Dearing, props; Mary Isemann, sound; Anne Saunders, make-up; Caryn Beausoleil, costumes; and Trisha Williams, house.

This upcoming production of Williams' THE GLASS MENAGERIE promises to be one of the most spectacular theatrical events that the Longwood audiences have seen in quite some time. Opening night is merely three weeks away, so be sure to make time to witness the Players next "creation of the theatre."

Wild West Show Presented In S-UN Coffeehouse By MARGARET HAMMERSLEY From the rolling hills of Virginia's heartland come Jim Childress, and Steve Waldhorn, better known as the Wild West Show. Jim and Steve from Scottsville, were the attraction of the Student-Union's second coffeehouse last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Jim and Steve originally met each other at an old-time music festival. Prior to the formation of the Wild West Show, Jim and Steve played with the Hankie Mountain Express, a blue grass band out of Stanton. They also played with the Monticello Dairy

LC Democrats Enthusiastic About Election Campaign

By LISA SMITH The Democratic College Club of Longwood College was off to a late start this year, however the delay has not dampened the high hopes of its members. According to Carol Henry, chairman of the club, the college Democrats are "working to get Carter elected."

Carol and Dr. Stuart met with the Central Democratic Committee last week in an effort to discuss the election plans and to make arrangements to work together in the community for the campaign and elections. The College Democratics will be helping with the polls and making phone calls to area Democrats.

Generally speaking the Democratic Party favors even distribution of power. However,

as Carol pointed out, Carter's platform could differ from other Democrats such as the Virginia Democrats. This club is affliated with Carter's campaign. Carter favors a regulation of hand guns as well as a waiting period on allowing people who have been convicted of a crime to register another gun. A cut down on the number of systems in our government is also in Carter's plan.

The club is planning to continue with building a strong club even after the elections. For the moment however, plans are being made to set up a booth of Carter material in the New Smoker this week where absentee ballot registrations will be available. Deadline for these ballots to be sent in are on Oct. 28.

Rhythm Aces. The repetition in blue grass was unsatisfactory to them so they split with the bands and got into old-time music.

The Wild West Show originated approximately two years ago.

Since then they have been singing and traveling together. They adopted the name of Wild West Show because at the time they were performing primarily western swing material. I-ast spring Mike Kott joined the group.

Jim plays the guitar, Steve the fiddle, and Mike the cello. Their music includes old-time Appalachian Mountain music, western swing and ragtime.

Performing is the group's sole occupation. Jim commented, "I like to play all the time, and playing all the time is the only way to sing all the time and not have to keep down a job."

Old-time music is the native music of the area in which the group lives. Steve commented, "I moved to Virginia and did some school work, but something was missing." It was then that he got into the native people, their ways of life, and consequently their music. He refers to old-time Appalachian Mountain music as "good-time music." It is "a statement of a life style," and "relays attitudes."

With his interest in old-time music, Steve learned to play the fiddle. He described the fiddle as being basic to traditional American music.

Jim added that he likes the lightheartedness of the music the y PÂŤrform The group is readying for, and looking forward to a New England tour. They feel that there will be fewer barriers to their music in New England.

Steven explained that within this area too many people get the impression that their music is hillbilly, and turn away from it.

Jim and Steve enjoy coffeehouse performances, and they like contact with their audience. They are ambitious to perform a large scale concert, and are contemplating releasing a recording, yet there are no available dates.

It was obvious during their performance that the guys were genuinely enjoying themselves.

Vocally and instrumentally, the two produced terrific, mellow sounds. Their music captured a folk spirit, and generated a warm, down-home feeling.

Traditional Paint Battle Held (

By KARENSHELTON Dear Mom, You will never believe what happened here tonight. At about 10 o'clock I was in my room pretending to study, and I heard a lot of commotion out front. Of course, I went to see what was going on, and I could not believe what I saw. There were girls and guys, all freshmen, in the front of Main Cunningham dressed in their oldest clothes. Many even had plastic bags and bathing caps on their heads. They were all screaming "Red and White! Red and White!" Finally, I realized what was going on. It was a pep rally for the traditional paint battle between the freshmen and sophomores. While the Baby Reds were having their rally in front of Main, the sophomores were also cheering on Wheeler Mall. In case you don't understand what I mean by paint battle, I'll try to explain it. Every year, a few days before Oktoberfest, the freshmen and sophomores have a paint fight.

This year the freshmen are Reds, so all of the freshmen who wanted to participate went out and bought red water-based paint.

The sophomore- bought green.

The obiect of the whole fight is to make the Reds green and the Greens red.

The battle took place on Wygal Mall at about 10:30. The Reds lined up on one side of the mall and the Greens on the other.

After forming these "suicide" lines, each line charged their opponent.

Everyone was throwing paint from trash cans, jugs, jars, and plastic bags. Some were even throwing paint filled ballons. I saw some water pistols, too! After everyone was totally drenched in red and green paint, a huge circle was formed, and the Baby Reds were announced winners.

It was really exciting just watching the battle. I can imagine how the participants felt! Maybe next year I'll have the nerve to fight!

Volleyball Team Looking For A Comeback

THE ROTUNDA,

Tuesday, October 19, 1976

Hockey Shots

ByTERIDUNNIVANT Longwood's Varsity Volleyball team suffered its second defeat of the young season on Tuesday night, falling to Lynchburg College: 6-15, 9-15. However, the team played a good game, showing much improvement.

Coach Carolyn Price stated that the teamwork was showing "only after two matches together."

Losing several players from last year's team has left Mrs. Price with a young and inexperienced team. But she feels that once they get everything together, both teams will be among the teams to beat in Virginia.

The JV team, coming back from last week's loss to EMC, pulled it together to beat Lynchburg: 15-11, 15-9. Again Mrs. Price named teamwork as the "key to victory." The JV's just wouldn't give up to those Lynchburg rallies.

Mrs. Price noted much improvement in her players since tryouts, and continued improvement in their game play through some statistical analysis. The Varsity now holds an 0-2 record, the JV a 2-1 record for the season. This week, the Varsity travels to Roanoke (twice) and returns to Iler on October 28th to meet Ferrum College and Liberty Baptist.

Way to go! In an uprecedented match between Long wood men and Game time is 7:00, and your support is needed and greatly Hampden-Sydney, our guys were snapped by the Crocodiles only once. appreciated.

Survey Shows Longwood Students Not Apathetic

By CINDY CUMMINS and DONNA HASKY The statement that young people are apathetic seems one that travels with the ages and ours is no exception. One may hear the phrase used often in the conversations of those who are not "young" and at times, by those who are. But, according to a recent survey conducted by the Rotunda, one group of young people, our Freshman class here at lx>ngwood, certainly proved un-apatnetic in one area in particular and that was in voting in the recent Freshman class elections.

The poll proved that an overwhelming majority of the class did participate with only about three in every twenty not voting. The general response given by those who didn't vote was that they felt that they did not know enough about the candidates to make a wise decision. Kelly Crowder of North Cunningham felt that there wasn't enough campaigning by those running for office and felt the campaign would have been improved by a kind of open platform where the candidates could have presented themselves and their views to the students personally.

Those who had voted were asked what they would like to see accomolished by the Freshman class officers. These were some of the responses: Roberta Baker said, "I'd like to B£C our class unified by our officers, not just in our Freshman v ear but as we progress together through our years here at lAingwood."

Sharon Pleasant, "I'd like to see our officers promote friendliness and helpfullness."

Cindy Byrd felt that it was most important right now that the officers. themselves, get organized and said..."each one i officer t should take on their own responsibility and do their best to accomplish their tasks."

Karen Shelton said she feels thai it's important that the Freshman class gains a strength and independence of their ownthat the) should become involved in tin workings of our school such I! student Cov etc

Kaye Hector said, "I'd like to see our officers help give our class a real sense of belonging here at I/>newood."

Karen Peters said that she would like to see some activities that would keep the unity and spirit of the Freshman class strong, possibly a class dance.

Betty Helton also said she would like to see a dance or carnival sponsored by the Freshman class. "It would also be nice if we could contribute something to the school as a class."

Lynn Blake said that she felt "There are still so many people in our class that I haven't met— I'd like to see a class dance or some other activity to help us get to know more people."

Getting rid of 8:00 classes was another suggested project for our officers...well, maybe when they're more experienced!

In general, the promotion of unity, spirit and organization were the main interests that the Freshmen felt their officers should devote themselves to. If this poll is a good indication of what the Freshman class hopes to accomplish this year, the word "apathetic", may fade out of their vocabulary altogether.

Wouldn't that be a project for us all to work on in the coming year?

Keep that Red and White spirit strong!

Rock-Around-The-Clock For Crop And Help Feed Hungry People In The World

By MARY LOUISE PARRIS You can help to feed hungry people around the world simply by rocking around the clock in rocking chairs! How? Just get a few friends or relatives to sponsor you in the CROP Rock-AThon, sponsored by the Wesley Foundation, on October 30. Then come to the Lankford Building, have a seat in your favorite rocking chair, and rock on!

There will be 13 rocking chairs in front of Lankford (inside Lankford in case of rain or cold) from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on October 30. Students, and faculty from Longwood and Hampden Sydney, as well as Farmville community members and local high school students are urged to rock for CROP. Participants must be 16-years-old or older.

•Rockers" in the Rock-A-Thon should rock at least an hour (preferably more) with friends pledging money for each hour rocked.

All money raised through Rock-A-Thon pledges and donations will be given to CROP. What's CROP? CROP is the Community Hunger Appeal of Church World Service. CROP provides food for emergency relief and resources for selfdevelopment (such as seeds and farm tools) both here in the United States and abroad in 30 nations overseas.

Many students from both Longwood and Hampden-Sydney are expected to turn out for the Rock-A-Thon.

Several administration and faculty members will also be making contributions. A special added attraction during the event will be the arrival of all Head Residents from each of the dorms. They will all be rocking together for an hour. So even if you won't be able to rock on October 30, pledge some money

to your Head Resident—she'll do it for you!

At least 460 million people are on the verge of starvation. Be concerned enough to help these people. Either participate yourself or sponsor someone who is rocking in the CROP Rock-AThon, October 30. Betty Lewis is chairman of this event and George Baumgardner is

coordinator for the Rock-A-Thon at Hampden-Sydney. Phone or visit the Wesley Foundation, 204 High St. (across from French dorm) if you are interested or have questions Sign-up sheets for participants will be in the New Smoker and Wesley Foundation Student Center. Remember, world hunger is your problem, too.

At McDonald^ what's not pure beef is pure love.

We love making America's favorite hamburgers.

And that's why we don't put anything into them except USDA inspected. 100* pure American beef.

No tendemers. No tillers. No chemicals.

In fact, the only thing we put into out hamburgers besides pure beef is tender loving care

So, when you buy a McDonald's hamburger, you know that what's not beef is bun. Or catsup.

Or pickles. Or onions Or mustard.

Or love Wt«oHalll«
