LONG WOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 7.1978
Dicussion Between Males To Better Relations By CAM OGLESBY On January 27,1978 a luncheon was held at Ix)ngwood for a group of Longwood males and Hampden-Sydney students to discuss areas of concern expressed by the two groups. The iwo major areas of concern were How to increase healthy competition but decrease unfriendly exchange between the schools and cooperative ventures in regard lo social relationships, particularly relative to Longwood College male
students." Several conclusions were drawn from the discussion. It was agreed by both groups that the problems that occurred were caused by a minority of the students at both colleges. Therefore, it was generally agreed that these problems could be stopped by disciplinary actions by the student-governing boards of both colleges and more importantly, by peer pressure. While peer pressure was thought i o be the most important factor in eliminating the unfriendly exchanges, ii was suggested that

there exist strong rules to govern he disciplinary infractions. It was suggested that there be more social events involving both of the colleges in the future. Ii was also proposed that in the fin tire there be more of a focus on sporting events between the two colleges. It was urged ihai both l-ongwood and Hampden-Sydney stress during their Orientation programs the rules of both colleges. Finally, in the future, i here should be more "coming together" of the two schools on mutual concerns.
By DEBBIE MOUL Governor John Dalton. the newly elected leader of 4.7 million people, is already faced with the decision on how he will deal wiih federal efforts to force full desegregation of the state's colleges. Dalton had been asked io submit his desegregation plan for Virginia's Slate Colleges, one presumably better ihan former Governor Godwin's unacceptable plan.

Geist. in conjunction with the American Red Cross, will sponsor a hloodmobile on February 13 and 14. from 10:00100 in the ABC Rooms. Several changes mark ihis year's hloodmobile. including a iwo-day visit and a donor sign-up lisi.

To eliminate the problems of long lines and extended waiting periods, students will be asked to sign the master donor list in the New Smoker for a specific time. Those who sign the donor list will be expected, so a minimal wailing period should resuli. If you forget to sign up for a time, don't worry, your blood is still good! Just drop by when you have some free lime, and Geist will try lo work you in. For administrators and professors, please drop in ai your convenience. The following is a brief lisi of conditions lhat would eliminate a person as a donor. 1. If under 18 years of age or over 66 years of age. 2. Has given blood 5 times in a twelve month period, or it is less
i nan 56 days from last donation. :i Weighs less than 110 pounds 4. Has had ears pierced, tatoos. ir blood transfusions in the lasi »ix months. 5. Has ever had hepatitis. ti. Has had mononucleosis in the last six months. 7. Has had epilepsy or •onvulsions. 8. Has taken antibiotics within the past two weeks. (Exception: small doses taken for acne should be discontinued for 48 hours before donation) For a complete list of who can give and who cannot, check the bulletin board in the New Smoker. Again this year. Geist and the l'anhellenic Council will sponsor a contesi between the classes and i he fraternity and sororities. The class and the fraternity or sorority with the highest participation, will win a $50.00 prize. To have your participation counted, there will be a table outside the "A" Room with the various classes and fraternity and sororities listed. Sign your name under the appropriate heading, and list whether you donated blood or worked for an hour. If you work for an hour you must sign in and out. Each person can only sign one list.

Hampden-Sydney Gentlemen Apologize Dear Editor: Christ called it pointing out the speck in your neighbors eye while not being aware of the board in your own. The Greeks called it hubris, overbearing pride or arrogance. Ix)fty ideals from lofty minds but what do they mean and how do you begin writing an apology to several thousand people . . . women and men'.' And will they believe you or will they see it as so much high flown and empty rhetoric from the "humane and lettered men" up the road, the belivers in the 'dignity of man"? What humanity and dignity there may have been in the most recent issue of HampdenSydney's student newspaper The Tiger we're easily overshadowed and suffocated by the embarrassing and inexcusable statements and implications directed toward your college which seemed to pervade the entire publication. The publication presents Hampden-Sydney students as holier than thou" snobs passing judgement on the rest of the
world. The Man" pointing a knowing finger at Ihe peasants in the field. This is not the Hampden-Sydney student for if we are really "liberally" educated then we know that there is only one "Man" and that we are all peasants in the same field and thai it is only by recognizing ihe humanity we all share, that it is only by turning I Me Mine into You Me We that our colleges can move together into the future. The statements concerning your college were ridiculous and the vast majority of students at Hampden-Sydney were just as shocked as you were lo see them in print They were a gross lapse in taste and judgement and if lessons come as big as their mistakes then we have a big one to learn. In the future we hope Hampden-Sydney College will concentrate on its own boards before it even begins to worry about the specks of others. Sincerely, Ken Woodley - Tiger Bus. Manager, Writer William Redd - HS-C Student Body Pres.

Mickey Mouse Soon To Celebrate Golden Anniversary By PAULA JOHNSON In November of this year a well known character will celebrate his 50th year as a star. Having made over 140 movies, this character is known as "Topolino" in Italy, as "Miki Kuchi" in Japan, and here in the United States, he is known as Mickey Mouse. In 1927 Walt Disney arrived at the idea of a cartoon character named "Mortimer Mouse." Mrs. Disney thought that the character's name should be •Mickey" because Mortimer was •a bit too pompous" for a cartoon character. The road to stardom, however, was not that easy. With the help of Disney's friend, Ub Iwerks. Mickey Mouse was given physical characteristics and a personality. Iwerks, considered to be the best animator of his day, defined the physical characteristics. The construction of the mouse consisted of two large circles- one for the head and one for the trunk of the body- and two smaller circles for the ears. Thin arms and legs were added, as well as hands, large feet, and a long, thin (ail. Iwerks also added a "mischevious snout, a plum-shaped nose, and button eyes." The mouse's personality came from Walt Disney, who thought that cartoon characters should think for themselves. In the beginning, the mouse was mischevious with a streak of cruelty that disappeared in the early stages of his life. Heroism was also to be found, somewhat in the style of Charlie Chaplin's Little Tranp. All these things combined to give Mickey Mouse the characteristics of a little man. In late 1927 and early 1928, Disney and his associates began
production for Mickey's first cartoon. Plane Crazy. However, this cartoon as well as Gallopin' Gaucho. had little success with its inventors. With the invention of the "talkies" Disney decided to try putting the adventures of his character with music and sound. In 1928 the film Steamboat Willie began production. It was hard to get the right music for the film, but after two weeks of hard work. Disney and conductor Carl Fdouwards finally arrived at a soundtrack. The next problem was to find a distributor for the cartoon. Response to this new idea was discouraging, but eventually Harry Reichenbach, manager of the Colony Theater in Manhattan, offered Disney a twoweek run. Steamboat Willie, starring Mickey Mouse along with Minnie Mouse and Pegleg Pete, made its debut on November 28, 1928. Coverage by the news media before the opening and the audiences tremendous response to the adventures of Mickey Mouse helped to make the cartoon a big success. With this success, Disney began adding sound to Plane Crazy and Gallopin' Gaucho as well as to a fourth film, The Barn Dance. Mickey Mouse and his friend have come a long way since 1928. There has been The Mickey Mouse Club and The Wonderful World of Disney, comic strips, watches, toys, and stuffed animals, and two glorious magic kingdons. Disney's characters have given entertainment to people all over the world and we owe it all to a mouse named Mickey. SOURCES. Ladies' Home Journal December 1977.

By MARY LOUISE PAKKIS An expectant crowd of approximately 450 people came to Jarman Auditorium on Friday evening, Feb. 3, for the first event of Mardi Gras Weekend. Ann Iieavitt, chairman of Student Union, introduced Tim York and Mike Hawthorne of T & M Express to start off the music for the night. Tim and Mike played, for the most part, their own songs, including "Cherish Your Dreams," "River Song," "Missing You," and "Convict Hill." Their soft harmony and easy-going style continued with their Desperado Medley — combining Desperado's Waiting for a Train" by Guy Clark and "Desparado" by Don Henley and Glen Frey of Eagle's fame. The Desparado Medley was met with enthusiastic applause. It is the only song not written by either Tim or Mike on their album entitled "T & M Express." The audience's long applause at the end of their performance called T&M Express back for an encore number of Pure Prarie league's "Amy". Tim York and Mike Hawthorne are both originally from Texas and started singing together about four years ago. Since then they have moved to Columbus. Ohio, where they play at clubs and restaurants. They have also played on tour at colleges in Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Ix>uisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Friday's appearance made the third visit to Ixmgwood for T & M Express. Mike said, before the concert. "We like coming here (to Ixmgwood)," to which Tim added, "We like places that are receptive." Meisburg and Walters opened their portion of the concert program with a lively series of songs enhanced by, not only the excellent voices of John Walters and Steve Meisburg, but also the excellent fiddle playing of David Kuncicky. Steve Meisburg introduced the song "Jessabell"
Business Students (Continued from Page 2) Staunton, Virginia. Anne was equally impressed with the practicum experience. She stated that there was no way to put a measure on the experience she obtained. Her internship confirmed her career ambitions. She definitely feels that the experience she obtained will help her get a job. Anne said that her boss told her that experience was the prime factor in obtaining a job. At Westhouse, Anne worked with the personal relations department. She did three major projects. One of her projects was to rewrite a script and find slides to go with it for orientation of new employees. Also she worked on a human resources balance sheet, which is similar to an accounting balance sheet. Anne commended that "instead of working with numbers, you work with people." Her final project was to survey the plant employees for their reactions to the personal relations department.
as the first English song he ever learned, explaining, after the concert, that his family was German and as a boy German folk songs were all he knew, until he learned "Jessabell." John Walters was the lead singer for "Angelena." a Jonathan Edwards' song, and also for a song that he wrote about his high school graduation entitled "Graduation Day." "Graduation Day" was a favorite from Meisburg & Walter's appearance last spring and met with hearty laughs and applause again Friday night. After the energetic performance of "Graduation Day." Meisburg & Walters slowed down to a "more reflective" pace with a series of their own songs. Steve Meisburg began at the piano, singing his song "Why Did I I^ave You." followed by "Dance to the Music" and John Walters' "Everybody Needs a Time to Sing." Sweet Harmony" and "Cheyene" ended the series of "reflective" songs.
After this long period of philosophizing about each song's meaning, the audience needed a good rousing awakening, which was begun when Meisburg & Walters sang the first of their final songs.

Their final song, with the fiddle, keyboards, drums and bass going full steam. inspired clapping and clogging to the bluegrass beat of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken " The enthusiasm generated by this song brought most of the audience to its feet !o give Meisburg and Walters a standing ovation but instead of playing another bluegrass tune, tin \ returned with a slow song "Wooden Ships'' by Crosby, Stills. Nash & Young for their encore. Steve Meisburg and John Walters are from Tallahassee, Fla., and have been playing together for two years. They have (Continued on Page41

LM was also highly complimentary of the program. She praised the program, and said every business student should consider it. I^e also stressed the fact that experience is the point. She too felt that, if given the chance, she would do it again. Colonel Carr, the head of the Business Department was asked for his comments on the program. He feels it is a wonderful program since it gives the students tremendous experience. He stated that if the student does a good job, then they can get a written recommendation in their placement file. This recommendation is an asset to the student when they go to look for a job. Ixmgwood College is expanding its program in business every year. According to Colonel Carr, many improvements are being made in the practicum program. The student intern will begin to receive minimum wage, and Ixmgwood is attempting to expand the program so more students can have the opportunity to participate.

The Early Works Of Henry O. Tanner Guest speaker of the 'Thomas Sully and His Contemporaries" Art Symposium last Friday, February 3, Kegenia Perry of Virginia Commonwealth University, spoke of artist Henry 0. Tanner. Henry Ossawa Tanner • 185!t-19371 was the most disi inguished Afro-American an is of the nineteenth century. Tanner's early works constitute one of the mosi interesting but little-known categories of nineteenthcenturv genre painting.
