Old School PropertyGiven To Longwood By DEBBIE NORTHERN The old Farmville High School, also known as Second Avenue School, has become the property of the Longwood College Foundation, Inc. The property was given to the Foundation by Melville and Monroe Johns of Farmville through a giftpurchase arrangement. The Johnses bought the former high school and adjoining athletic field firom the Prince Edward County School Board for $55,100 in 1972. Monroe Johns stated that
he and his brother bought the property to convert the school into an office building or sell it to someone who would. But soon after they purchased the property, the town rezoned the area, preventing the conversion. Longwood approached the property owners and they agreed on the gift-purchase arrangement. The transfer of the deed, which took place in December, was formally acknowledged at the February 10 meeting of the Foundation's
Board of Directors. The property, which lies within two blocks off Longwood's campus, has been used this year for daytime athletic and physical education activities. The field will continue to be used for this purpose, but no decision has been made as to how the building will be used. President Henry I Willet, Jr. feels that this arrangement was very beneficial to the Foundation. "One of our most pressing needs, since the college became co-educational, is for additional athletic field space, with the expanded intercollegiate and intramural programs for men and women, we are into very tight scheduling of our current athletic field," he said.

Judicial Board Investigation Procedures Cited By DONNA LOWE After much research, deliberation, discussion, and consultation with Dean Heintz, Judicial Board presented to legislative Board on January 31, 1978, procedures and guidelines which established the limits of the investigations staff of Judicial Board. The main purpose of the Investigations Committee of both Residence and Judicial Board is to keep persons who present the case out of the deliberation and decision of each case, in hopes that the credibility and fairness of the boards may be improved. Judicial Board's Investigations Committee meets this requirement. The procedures and guidelines presented by Judicial Board are as follows: The Vice Chairman will be the Coordinator for all investigations (or his or her alternate in case the Vice Chairman is unavailable). The Vice Chairman will contact two investigators who will handle the possible infraction. The

Bookstore Revenues Announced By DEBBIE NORTHERN In 1977 Longwood College received $10,142 of revenue from the Bookstore. This revenue was derivided from the $100 a month rent plus commission on sales. In 1973, the college received $8,887 from the Bookstore, in 1974, $8,955; in 1975 $9,055; and in 1976 $7,579. The Bookstore, along with other groups which use the Lankford Building, are not :harged for utilities. The funds received are
deposited in the general Auxiliary Enterprises account, which includes the dining hall, dormitories, and other auxiliary enterprise activities. The money received from the Bookstore keeps the college from having to charge students an additional $5.00 in general fees ($10,000 - $5.00 x 2,000 students). If this revenue were not available, then the college would have to have a $5.00 fee increase to offset its loss.
