Students Fight For A Tree

By JESSIE LIGNIAN Concerned I-ongwood students battled the bulldozers to save a tree from being torn down on Friday, September 15. At 1:30 p.m., 15 people sat in front of a maple tree on the lot for the new gym, awaiting the return of 4 members of their group who were meeting with President Henry I. Willett concerning this tree. The students were displaying their great concern that such a beautiful tree was going to be destroyed. Posters with slogans such as, "Concered Students Save This Tree," and "Preserve Campus Beauty" were flashed.

Their main banner read, "It Only

Takes A Minute To Destroy A Hundred Years." The group's head spokesmen were Bill McKaig, Linda Muley, Sharon "Scat" Connors and Renee Roland who were meeting with President Willett. Other involved persons were John Hudson and Doug Blevins along with the many students who accompanied them under the tree. The group indicated that there were around 50 students involved and that 25 students had spent the night before under the tree.

While at the tree site, the group came up with their title, "Concerned Students for Campus Beauty."

Juniors Receive Rings In Ceremony

By EDIE PARKINS "Congratulations, you are about to get your rings," announced David Gates as he welcomed all juniors to the ring ceremony. On Wednesday, Sept.

13, juniors and their selected little sisters or little brothers proceeded down to the Sunken Garden. Little sisters and brothers lined up behind one side of Joan of Arc as big sisters and brothers lined up behind the other side, with white candles. As each person proceeded down into the Sunken Garden, they met their little or big sisters-brothers, then lit their candles.

David Gates introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Eleanor Bobbitt, a Long wood professor.

Dr. Bobbitt is proud to say that

she still wears her class ring.

"We are an elite group within the world, the United States and Virginia. I don't know of another student body that compares to ours," commented Dr. Bobbitt.

As she continued with her speech, which was in the form of a poem, she said, "Opportunity, growth, leadership, and fun.

Loyalty and devotion shared with us. Friendship which no one can steal will multiply."

After Dr. Bobbit's speech, big sisters and brothers gave their candles to their little sister or brother. Then the juniors proudly received their rings. After everyone admired their rings, the crowd sang "Joan of Arc." Immediately following the ceremony, a reception was held in the Commonwealth Room.

organization was not realized until after dinner Thursday night.

It was spontaneous. Their feeling is that the particular tree is the prettiest on campus; it turns red and orange in the fall and has an almost perfect shape. The group says a large number of the students are with them in spirit and that there are several teachers on their side. John Hudson said the tree "turns blood red in the fall." He and Doug Blevins had been at the tree site in turns since 7:00 p.m. Thursday night.

The group is not against the new gym building; they just want to save some trees for beauty.

Their feelings were so strong that Scat Conners and Renee Roland had even jumped in front of the bulldozer to stop it. Members of the group expressed that the bulldozer men had taken pictures to give to the campus police, but that the police had been informed

by President Willett that it was all right for the students to stay under the tree if they didn't cause trouble.

Finally at around 2:00 p.m.

Friday, Scat Conners and Renee Roland returned from the 30 minute meeting with President Willett and Dr. William Peale.

Scat said, "They're not moving it; it stays until at least next week!" The three alternatives given were 1.) to put a cement foundation under the tree to stop the roots, 2.) to cut it up, and 3.) to move the tree. Reinforcing the tree would be costly. The proposed cost was around $15,000.

Dr. Peale told the representatives that he understood their concern.

The site for the new gymnasium had been picked for 10 years. They had asked the architects to study the possibility of saving some of the trees on the site. After much deliberation, the architects did not feel that any could be left since the site would have to be completely leveled for the building to be erected.

Alternations to the plans at this late date are impossible because it has already been approved and the architects have been paid.

Even if the tree is reinforced, there is no guarantee it would live or not harm the sidewalk or building foundation. Moving the tree will "probably be just as expensive," stated Peale.

Scat said that President Willet was checking into the cost of moving the tree and where it could be placed. Scat indicated that President Willett would be getting back in touch with her within a week and that the group should not worry or sit any longer. The group's concern now is in possibly raising money for the cause and acquiring more campus interest. Linda Muley summed up the group's feelings by saying, "We knew we had to do something."

Kampfmueller Appointed To The Board Of Visitors

By JODIKERSEY Gay Kampfmueller, who just graduated last May from Long wood, is now a member of the Board of Visitors. This is the result of the trend in establishing recent graduates on college governing boards.

Miss Kampfmueller was appointed to this position by Governor John Dalton, who made a personal telephone call to inform Miss Kampfmueller of his decision.

Therefore, her four-year term on Longwood's governing board began July 1, 1978.

Miss Kampfmueller completed Ixmgwood with a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education.

She was a colleague, an orientation leader, a member of Geist leadership honorary and Alpha Sigma Tau social sorority.

She was chairman of Judicial board during her junior year, and received a Distinguished Service Award from the Board of Visitors for her work on this government association. Also, she was named to "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities."

When asked how she felt about being chosen as a member of the Board of Visitors, Miss Kampfmueller replied: "I was honored because a member has never been chosen as I was, just being a college graduate."

The Board of Visitors meets every three months on the first Thursday and Friday. Miss Kampfmueller said, "I hope with

Photo Courtesy Carol Cooper Cay Kampfmueller is the youngest Board memher. my knowledge of longwood that I can help to relate the students' opinions about certain topics to the other board members." She hopes to help form a constructive relationship between the board and students by talking to the students on a personal level, discussing problems and desires for the future.

Miss Kampfmueller now lives in Virginia Beach where she teaches grades 1-7. She is certified to teach K-12, but prefers the elementary grades.

She will be starting on her Masters Degree in Administration and Supervision soon. She hopes to attauj her degree from William and Mary.

Miss Kampfmueller wants to meet with the student body and she requested that the students be informed that she would be at longwood the week end of the Student Faculty Retreat.

Banquet Brings Horne Economits Students Together

By PAM MCDOWELL The Student Professional Organization, I/uigwood Chapter of the Virginia Home Economics Association, sponsored a banquet for freshman and transfer home economics majors on Monday, September 11, in the Virginia Banquet Room. The purpose of this banquet was to inform new students of the clubs related to the Home Pk-onomics department and the department's history, and to give the students a chance to meet each other.

Elise Canty, president of the Home Economics Club, gave the introduction. Mrs. Thompson, chairman of the Home Economics department, followed with the blessing. The guests enjoyed a delicious meal consisting of fried fish, roast beef, squash, mashed potatoes, iced tea, hot rolls, and apple pie.

After the meal, Robin Stanfield, president of the Alpha Epsilon chapter of Kappa Umicron Phi at I-ongwood, told of some of the organization's activities. These consist of a national service project called Crossmore, to which the chapter contributes annually for disadvantaged children in the mountains of North Carolina; writing and circulating the Home Economics department newsletter; various workshops and community services; Founders' Day ceremonies; and attendance of the regional and national Conclave meetings.

The main speaker for the evening was Miss Lowell Bernard, a former clothing and textiles professor at IiOngwood.

She provided an intriguing and informative history of the Home Economics department, stating that it was the first such department in the state of Virginia. The program was initiated in 1908 by Miss Worthy Johnson Crafts, and was called Domestic Signs and Arts."

There were eleven students majoring in home economics at this tune Miss Bernard also gave some background on the Crafts Scholarship, which is alternated between home economics and English. The scholarship started with fifteen dollars and now consists of approximately two thousand dollars.

At the end of Miss Bernard's speech, the students were invited to attend the Home Economics Club business meeting on September 21.

Get To Know Sororities

By Rush

By BETH DEVAN and JESSIE LIGNIAN Happiness is going through Rush. But, do you know what Rush is? Rush is a week of fun and exciting parties, during which you will have the chance to meet new people from each sorority on campus. There are eleven sororities at Ixmgwood, all unique in their own way. This Greek system consists of: Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Phi, Phi Mu, Kappa Delta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta, Alpha Delta Phi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha.

If you would like to see what Rush is all about, sign-ups will be in the New Smoker, September 19, 20, 21, and 22 with a $3.00 registration fee. There will also be a Panhellenic picnic open to the entire student body, September 24, on Library Mall from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Interest tables will display T-shirts, jewelry, and other desired information.

Parties will begin September 25.

Coke parties will kick the week off, followed by silly to serious Skit parties. Next comes Theme parties on September 29.

Inspirationals and Walk concludes Rush Week, with Walk being the final climax.

Rush chairman, Mary Woolfolk, is very enthusiastic about this year's Rush program.

During the summer, freshmen were sent letters containing information on Rush. These letters received great response and Mary feels that there is definitely a positive attitude toward Rush. She says, "Committees have worked hard to make this Rush special and good." Since Rush consists of only one week, sororities have had to work extra hard in preparation of the upcoming activities.

Go through Rush and find out what it's all about. Remember, Rush could put happiness into your life!

"Davies' Plan" To Redistribute College Funding

By JUDI STANLEY

At an August meeting of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, Dr. Gordon K. Da vies, Director of this council, made a suggestion concerning the future enrollment in colleges and universities in Virginia.

The suggestion, commonly referred to as the "Davies' Plan," is to establish a ceiling on the growth of the rapidly-growing schools (such as Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University and James Madison University) and will encourage growth in urban schools (such as Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and George Mason University).

Both Dr. Davies and Dr. Willett, President of Longwood College, point out that this redistribution of funds will have little effect on the smaller colleges (such as Longwood).

Davies' idea is to chanr funds to the urban schools, wl ... will have a greater need in the future, and away from those schools whose enrollments, though high now, will soon be diminishing. In his address at Longwood

College's Convocation on September 7, 1978, Dr. Davies said that the number of younger students (ages 18-21) is diminishing, while the number of older students (ages 22-34) is increasing. These older students tend to enroll in colleges and universities in urban areas, creating pressure for more educational services within the cities.

There are three conditions which prompted Davies' proposal. First, most of the future enrollment growth will be in urban schools, as those in Richmond, Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area. Second, a number of schools, such as Longwood College, have already decided to remain with a relatively stable admission.

Third, some institutions, such as Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University, are experiencing a great deal of growth at this time. Dr. Davies feels that the State Council of Higher Education may want to put a ceiling on this growth. This is not a new idea: the state of Maryland has already put an (Continued on Page 5)

problems that occur on campus but comes to them if help is needed.

The Campus Police at Ixmgwood dates back almost to 1839. Initially there was only one night watchman and, thus, the term "nightie-watch" originated.

Then in the mid 1950's, several additional men were hired. In 1958 the night watchmen were given the "power of arrest" after apprehending a safe burglar.

This was the beginning of the present police force.

Today, Ixwigwood's eleven fulltime police officers have approximately 150 years .of combined police experience.

They maintain one fully equipped patrol car and two support vehicles. All campus policemen are equipped with standard police equipment, consisting of mace (gas), handcuffs, blackjacks, additional ammunition and revolvers.

Booklets explaining the duties of campus police and emergency procedures can be obtained from the campus police office.

These offenses are not every day occurrances but Mr. Neil Smith, the Chief of Police, cites that the number one problem here at I.ongwood is that of student parking. Because of the construction of the new Physical Education Department building, there is a loss of 95 to 100 parking spaces. Chief Smith urges students to find a place to legally park and not to use this area. He also asks that the students not drive their cars to come to dinner. There just is not enough available space.

Assisting Chief Smith, there are ten other police officers. They are available 24 hours a day working eight hour shifts that change every two weeks. This schedule provides the Student Government with their services at anytime. Chief Smith comments that the Student Government handles most of the

THE ROTUNDA

Oliver And Cotton Provided Top Quality Entertainment

By JANET ALLEN On Thursday night, Gene Cotton and Oliver played to a large, enthusiastic crowd in .larman Auditorium.

Oliver appeared first and sang several humorous songs such as "Dancing Like Fred Astaire," a cheerful dirge, and "Down at the Barnyard Dance," about a vegetable refrigerator dance, as well as his hit songs "Jean" and "Starshine" which both went all the way to number two back in 1969. Oliver had the audience clapping and singing along with his version of John Payne's "Everybody Needs Somebody To Talk To." Oliver, who is from North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, started singing about eleven years ago in college and decided to go single about four years ago.

He plays mainly the college circuit and some clubs, and he

remarked that the Longwood audience was "great."

Gene Cotton made a big hit when he appeared onstage in a bright red Longwood T-shirt and launched into his hit single, "Before My Heart Finds Out." The members of his present band are: Tommy Wells — drums; Greg Adams — bass; James Owmby — keyboard; Marc Speas — guitar; and Diane Basich — singer. They have been playing together for about a month.

They got tremendous audience response with "Let Your Love Flow," "You've Got Me Running," "The Teaser," dedicated to the Ixmgwood freshmen, and the band's newest single, "Like a Sunday in Salem," which should be out in the next few weeks. The single has Oliver as a backup vocal.

Gene also did a few solo numbers including a humorous song about the terrors of

"Pushing 6." After his solo numbers, the rest of the band returned and they did a spirited rendition of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" with excellent highlights on the keyboard and lead guitar. The band's next album is Save the Dancer. It should be out. in the next couple of weeks.

Gene Cotton has opened shows for such well-known personalities as Frankie Valee, Neil Sedaka, the Captain and Tennille, and Crystal Gayle, but they are an excellent band in their own right, and everyone who saw the show Thursday night seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.

Both Oliver and Cotton explained that getting into the music profession was a hard job; one which takes many years and much persistence.

Both performers write some of their own music. Cotton says that when he writes, sometimes the words come first and at other times the music comes first. Most of the time a song evolves with the music and words simultaneously.

He said that some songs take him 20 minutes to compose, while others take him two years.

Besides being musicians, these men each have a family, a

wife and two children. Gene Cotton especially uses amusing anecdotes about his children in his show. The Longwood audience roared as he told how, when his son was three, he tried to flush Cotton's bathrobe down the toilet. Oliver and Cotton feel

they receive some inspiration for songs from their children or their own childhood.

The Cotton band was very appreciative of the reception they got here, and Gene Cotton said, ''I'll always come back to Ixmgwood."

Dahlman Presents Senior Recital

By NELLE JONES On Sunday, September 17,1978, at 4:00 p.m., Henry N. Dahlman presented a senior recital featuring works from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The program opened with a recitative and aria by Franz Joseph Haydn.

Second on the program was a group of three songs by Franz Schubert entitled "Die Schonl Mullerin." These delightfully light and lyrical songs were performed in an expressive Schubertian style with extreme delicacy between vocalist and accompanist. Following the Schubert selections was a very dramatic and yet almost humorous recitative and aria by Giuseppe Verdi. Mr. Dahlman seemed particularly engrossed in this work and displayed difficult vocal techniques successfully.

The next group of songs by Gabriel Faure were particularly lovely and Mr. Dahlman displayed extreme sensitivity in his rendition of these very mellow \

French songs.

Perhaps the most exciting selection on the program was a set of three songs from a work entitled War Scenes by Ned Rorem. These three songs were very tender at some points and almost eerie at other points, very dramatic thought provoking pieces. Mr. Dahlman gave an excellent and most sensitive interpretation of these pieces.

The program closed with a delightfully humorous work entitled Captain Mac by Wilfred Sanderson, in which Mr. Dahlman displayed control and yet complete relaxation.

Mr. Dahlman, better known as Hank' in the music department, is graduating as a musiceducation major and will be the first male music major to graduate from Ixmgwood since Longwood gained co-education status. He displayed much versatility in his performance and shall be remembered for quite some time. A job well done, Hank!

By PAULA JOHNSON "I'm happy here at Ixmgwood.

I note a very competent faculty who do indeed have the students' best interests at heart," Dr. L. E. Egbert said as he expressed his views on Longwood and the longwood music department. Dr. Egbert is the Acting-Chairman of the Department of Music, replacing Dr. James McCray, who has accepted a position at the University of Colorado.

Dr. Egbert, who came from a musical family, said that when he was younger he was "... very much into sports. In high school I was in musicals, the marching band ... I was very active as a singer so when I went to college I majored in voice."

The polite easy-going Egbert studied music at Murry State University in Kentucky, where he received his degree in S% years.

While at Murry State, he was the youngest assistant director to Robert Baar. From here, he went directly to the University of Illinois to work on his masters.

While at Illinois, he studied voice with Bruce Foote and performed with the Concert Choir. Egbert received his D.M.A. in Choral Performance and Musicology at the University of Kentucky.

While working on his doctorate, he directed the Chamber Singers, the Mens' Glee Gub, and was assistant director for Collegium Musicum. He was also assistant director to Wesley Morgan, during which time the two produced four volumes of recordings called "Historical Anthology of Music."

In 1964, Dr. Egbert began his teaching career in Paducah, Kentucky, at the local high school. He later taught at Lees College. He then became a teaching assistant at the

University of Kentucky, and before coming to Longwood, he was music director at Virginia Intermont College, in Bristol, Va. Dr. Egbert has many plans for the ensembles of Ixmgwood. On October 3 there will be a Baroque Evening; in November the fall concert will be presented, and the Madrigal Dinner and Christmas Concert will be in December. He hopes also to take both choirs (Camarata Singers and the Concert Choir) to Rome for seven days to the International Choral Festival. Here they will perform and be judged in international competition.

When asked how he felt about the Ixmgwood music department he said, "One thing that I like is that all of the students are encouraged to perform frequently while they are here.

As with any other skill, one should practice performing to have the skills to perform. It is the psychological approach to performing. Secondly, many of the students are going into the teaching service. What they learn through performance is one of the most valuable assets they take with them in teaching, for it is here that they learn to become that very music they are trying to express."

He also went on to say that the ". . . music department is growing; it is attracting more men. The instrumental program i band ( is beginning to grown as well." Dr. Egbert added that he had every intention to stabilize and equalize the men and women of the department and to continue to offer music scholarships for deserving and needy students.

Chesapeake

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... and about 50 students beheld a certain tree on the site of the new gym complex as beautiful. This feeling led two of them to jump in front of a bulldozer to stop it from tearing down the tree.

This particular maple tree is beautiful to behold — especially in the fall. Trees of all sorts grace the Longwood Campus, enhancing the loveliness of the old and new buildings. There is no doubt that a tree or two around the new building will make its appearance look better. The maple tree just happens to be one of the most striking trees on campus.

Unfortunately the architects could find no way to salvage a few of the trees at the site of the new complex, according to President Henry I. Willett.

Willett said that they spent much time attempting to discover ways to leave some of the more beautiful trees intact. Due to the fact that the ground at the side rises and falls, the site must be leveled before the construction begins.

The concerned students, who wished to preserve some of the beauty in front of the high rises, took their case before the administration Friday. Their case was viewed sympathetically, but because of cost factors not much hope was left for the tree's existence. Willett reprieved the tree until today, when its fate will be decided.

Of course, trees are important, but Longwood has many trees: it does not have a good gymnasium. The students trying to save the tree were not in opposition to the new building, but just wished to see if this tree could be saved. If it could not. they understood that the e.ym complex came first.

If the students have strong enough feelings about this issue, they should band together to raise the necessary funds to save this tree. It might take a lot of effort, but anything worth doing is not easy. The Rotunda wishes them good luck in their attempt. If they tail we will lose a tree, but it will fall for a good purpose

Dear Editor: In the September 12 issue of the Rotunda, you feature our own Dr. Berkis and his swimming feats.

Such recognition is commendable, indeed. I am somewhat confused, however.

The Richmond Times Dispatch reported that Dr. Berkis "Swims Bay at 62;" the Richmond News Leader reported: "Professor, 62 , Swims Bay," and Channel 9 news reported that Berkis did swim the Bay. Your headline says: "Longwood Professor Attempts To Swim Chesapeake Bay" (emphasis mine). Perhaps Dr. Berkis, himself, will clarify this point when he describes his 11 hour and 50 minute swim at 8:00 p.m. on September 23, at the Adventist Center, 903 High Street. The public is invited to hear Berkis, who will also show video film taken by Channel 9 in Washington, D. C. Sincerely, Dr. Fillmer Hevener Associate Professor of English

Bakke Ruling Raises Questions On Affirmative Action

TZTTZ

In June of this year, the Supreme Court ruled that Allan P. Bakke, a 38 year old medical student, be admitted into University of California Medical School at Davis. The court also ruled that race may be taken into consideration concerning admissions into federally funded schools.

Allan Bakke had applied twice for admission into the university.

After his second refusal in 1974, Bakke discovered that the medical school had 16 out of 100 openings reserved for blacks. He also found that blacks with lower qualifications than his were chosen over him. Bakke brought suit against the university using Title IV as his authorization. Title IV is an act which gives persons the right to bring private suit.

Bakke was supported by the County Supreme Court in that the Davis admissions quota was unconstitutional. The court did not, however, order that Bakke be admitted. The California Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision and ordered that Bakke be allowed to enter the University of California Medical School.

The Supreme Court's decision has raised questions concerning Affirmative Action Programs.

These programs concern federal funding to Schools and companies. Funding can be acquired as a result of past discrimination or if asked for and if all qualifications are met.

The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has encouraged schools, colleges and university to adopt Affirmative Action Programs. Success is doubtful, due to the threat of court action.

Conversely, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said that its activities in the field of job placement for men and women would not be altered by the

court's decision.

Black colleges have already been experiencing strong competition from white colleges in regard to recruitment. The smaller colleges fear an even stronger recruitment program will be developed by white colleges. A positive point is that black colleges will not be exposed to so many accusations now that race can legally be taken into account when considering applications.

The possibility of racial marches as a result of the proBakke court decision has been introduced. Representative P. Mitchel D-Md. Chairman of Congressional Black Caucus said that civil rights leaders were not pleased with the decision.

Representative Mitchell added, though, that panic was not necessary. Various other civil rights leaders voiced the same opinion.

Anti-quota clauses have been proposed as additions to federal laws. The senate is expected to react shortly on a House proposal forbidding use of quotas in educational programs and federal funds.

Married Students A Part Of Campus Life

By RONDA LANDLS and VICKISEEKFORD There is an interesting trend on campus which many students are unaware of. It is the increasing number of married students attending I<ongwood.

The length of time which each student has been married varies from six weeks to twenty-three years. Ronda Owen, 23, is a transfer from the community college in Keysville. Ronda has been married three years and is majoring in Education. Ronda drives 35 miles to Longwood which she finds very tiresome and time consuming. "A good schedule is a must," Ronda points out.

Another married student, Tawanna Oliver Lee, 28, has other responsibilities besides to her husband and Longwood.

Namely, three children, Tawanna Latrese, 8, Walteice Royna, 7 and Garrett Price, 3. Tawanna is a freshman at Longwood majoring in Home Economics.

Tawanna's husband, who was the first black male to graduate from Longwood with a major in Business Management, is very proud and gives Tawanna a great deal of support. Tawanna's children think the idea of their mother going to college is great.

Tawanna feels she misses important information which would help her to be a more active student. One suggestion she has would be for the daily bulletin to be placed in day students' boxes.

Two other married students interviewed are also kept busy by college, husbands and children.

Ginny Andrews, 35, has been married sixteen years and has two children, a girl 8 and a boy 11. Ginny is an Education major.

In addition to her college commitments, Ginny is active in community affairs also. She is the secretary for the Republican party of Cumberland County and is active in her children's activities at school. Her husband, the Postmaster for Cartersville, thinks it is great Ginny is going to college.

Another very busy student is Virginia Hamilton, Virginia has been married twenty-three years and is a junior at Longwood majoring in Elementary Education. Virginia has four children ranging in age from 12 to 21. Her daughter, Pam, is a freshman at Longwood and loves having her mother going to the same school, especially at lunchtime when she needs a little money. Virginia and her daughter drive in from Burkeviile every day. Virginia not only attends Longwood full

time, but works forty hours a week in Burkeviile Market.

Virginia seldom gets home before 10 p.m. and then a lot of her work just begins.

The above are only a few of Longwood's married students.

The authors of this article are two more of Longwood's married students. They are an example of the opportunities for married students to become involved in college life. A universal feeling among married students is the total acceptance by the other students. Many students are unaware of Longwood's married population and the dedication and drive it takes to attend college with so many other responsibilities. Attending classes, studying and maintaining a home is very time consuming and these students are to be admired for their interest and determination.

"The Harvard-Lampoon Big Book Of College Life" The Real Untold Story Depicting College Life

By DONNA SIZEMORE From college applications, to freshman jitters, to the social gaiety of college life, to the lost paradise of graduation, "The Harvard-Lampoon Big Book of College Life" proves to be a masterpiece of truth. Somewhere between sarcasm and outrageous humor, the authors have achieved a median of unsurpassed excellence.

Touching on all aspects of college life, a humorous depiction of twentieth century campus life is attempted. A vivid imagination and sufficient bizarre examples constitute an almost believable collection of anecdotes.

Beginning with the Senior year in high school, the author takes you through the channels that surround college life. The decision to go to college and where to go is touched upon in a light hearted manner. Then the author presents us with a rejection letter that reads the way most rejection letters should read. The Scholastic Aptitude Test is subjected to well deserved sarcasm. The traditional Honors Assembly is depicted in a usual manner.

The freshmen year is treated

with the utmost care. While the view may be a bit exaggerated, it initiates the newcomer with college infirmaries, frequently broken rules, and typical letters from home. Mom always writes, and she always reminds you to do the significant little things that college students soon discover to be obsolete. Dad is always so formal, remembering how it was when he was in college, and hoping his son isn't following in his footsteps.

The author then takes you gently through the perils of studying. Suggestions are offered on dealing with the "nutty professor." A few hints are passed along on writing, reading, and staying sane. The author explores the classic line of "I've got a twenty page paper due tomorrow," and "I'm on page one." He touches upon the unique experience of final exams and classic review session.

The entire social gamut of college life now falls victim to the author's imagination. From the humble dwelling filled with posters, to the intimate events occurring there, no stone is left unturned. The Big Game Syndrome is explored

extensively. The author suggests that the dusk finds many students wondering and wishing. College confessions are explored and campus comedy is introduced in a most convincing manner.

In the final pages the author speaks of the "Lost Paradise" by depicting life after graduation as one big joke. He gives us the courage to journey out into the world of work and income taxes.

Reasons for not trying to get a job are tossed at the reader in a mind-boggling manner.

Vacations are explored and the reader is introduced to the shattering of illusions, and the classic accounting major who receives a job.

The book is a masterpiece of good humor, and though exaggerated on occasion, it contains truth. It is a must for freshment, seniors and everyone in between. The title could be altered to read "Handbook for the Serious College Student." It is the perfect medicine for the Saturday Lonely Hearts Blues or Exam Jitters. Every professor should read it. The contents will make you laugh endlessly and maybe keep you sane for one more semester. The book is a

Out of fifteen prospective tennis players, eight were chosen for Longwood's women's tennis team. Returning players include seniors Mary Barrett (Virginia Beach) and Gwen Koechlein (Richmond), junior Margie Quarles (Yorktown), and sophomores Judi Fayne (Galax) and Nancy Leidenheimer (McLean). Freshmen team

Young Hockey Team Very Versatile very young this year with the majority of players being sophomores or freshmen," states Ms. McDonough, "but with a little experience they should form into a strong team."

In contrast to past years, most of the players have uniform skills and fairly equal abilities. The players are well rounded in many aspects of the game. Due to this versatility many can handle different positions. "Because of the team's great flexability we should be stronger than in past years, and as the season progresses we should show a considerable degree of improvement," comments Mr. McDonough.

The regular season will open on September 21 with the University of Virginia, followed in November with the Virginia State Tournament which will be held here at Ixmgwood. The hockey team had two scrimmages to prepare for Thursday's game.

Longwood will also defend its title of VAIAW State Champions on October 26 and 27 at Lynchburg. With four returning players and two promising freshmen, the team should have the experience necessary to repeat last year's win and to compile their sixth Virginia State Tournament victory.

Smith has been widely recognized for her athletic achievements and instructional skills. She is listed in both Who's Who of American Women and in Outstanding Young Women of America.

She is also the author of a number of research articles and papers on the teaching of golf. In 1972 she was the recipient of the Longwood College Board of Visitors Distinguished Service Award.

Presently an area consultant for the National Golf Foundation, she has conducted numerous golf workshops and clinics. She is also a member of, the Teaching Division of the Ladies' Professional Golf Association.

She has made valuable contributions to a number of professional organizations.

Furbee, Patty Hughson, Debi Kinzel, Jeanne Nolte, Debbie Northern, Wanda Petersen, Celeste Rodriquez, Robin Rowen, Doreen Shuffler, Jackie Steer, and Teresa Ware.

New players on the team this year are Nancy Annis, Bonnie Arroyo, Debbie Cosby, Cyndy Downey, Dana Dreyer, Kim Fuhr, Kim Garber, Karen Kilmer, Mary King, Christi Lewis, Joan Matson, Susan Melvin, Barbara Sabitus, Nancy Warren, and Kim Wood.

If success in practice is any Indicator ot a winning season, then Washington State may not be as distant as it seems.

members are Jill Foster, Eva Ix)we (Richmond), and Dorris Keys (Lynchburg). Steve Whitten is returning for his second year as manager.

Coach Phyllis Harris feels that this will be a building year, in which many of the young players will gain more experience.

"College tennis will be a new kind of tennis for the freshmen," says Harris. She added that her team looks promising, but they still need a little work on timing.

Despite the fact that they have only two courts to practice on while the others are being repaired, Harris feels they are prepared to go to James Madison University on September 22 for their first match. Harris acknowledged that JMU's team is strong and will create difficulties for Longwood's young team. Yet she commented, "The tougher they come, the better we play."

If the courts are not ready by their first home match against William and Mary on September 28, the team might have to play on other courts. Harris does not predict any difficulties for the players on strange courts, though. She says if they are psychologically prepared to play, everything else should fall into place.

Fall Baseball Season For Instructional Purposes positively no smoking, drinking or cursing. I feel these boys are willing to pay the price in order to play good baseball."

Coach Bolding also feels that he has received enthusiastic support from the school. He feels that it is largely the responsibility of the coach to make sure the team has the equipment it needs and that the field is maintained properly.

The team has acquired a pitching machine and batting cages. Greg Gilliam, an Art major emphasized that, "We need the support of the school. I would like to see everyone come out to the games."

The 1978-79 team consists mainly of recruits and transfers.

Butch Crotty, an enthusiastic freshman from Roanoke, feels that "It's going to be rough at first because everyone is young and were playing rough teams. I think we will be better than last year. In the next couple of years we're going to be tough." Gary Ferris, a formidable first baseman from Blue Ridge, Va., commented that, "We've got a rough road ahead of us. This is going to be a building year. The guys have talent; we just have to work together."

The Longwood team consists of pitchers, Bob Blumenthal, Greg Gilliam, Keith Swanby, and Bill Wells; first baseman, Garry Ferris; second baseman, Scott Photo by Pam McDowell Lyles, and David Speaks; third baseman, Elwood Cox; catchers, A I^nrer takes a swing against VCU in Saturday's game.

Longwood won the first game of a doubleheader, defeating the Rams 13-3, before dropping the nightcap by a score of 2-1.

By PAM MCDOWELL Baseball fans are in for a treat this fall. Why? Because logwood is not only starting its second year of baseball, but a new coach, Mr. Buddy Bolding, has joined the faculty. The team will be competing in a fall scrimmage season which has already commenced.

New TR Teacher Involved In Many Activities

BY PAULA JOHNSON Mr. Frank Brasile does not consider himself a full time teacher ". . . without getting involved with other things." This year, in addition to his duties as a Therapeutic Recreation teacher, he will be coaching the Richmond Wheelchair Basketball team, which finished fourth in the nation last year. This will be Mr. Brasile's seventh year in wheelchair sports as a coach.

With a background in physical education and an English undergraduate degree, Mr. Brasile taught in parochial schools in Milwaukee for three years. During the summer, he worked with the Milwaukee recreation department for the handicapped. "I did my graduate Work in Therapeutic Recreation.

When I received my degree, new avenues opened up for me. I became an assistant coach of a wheelchair basketball team," said Mr. Brasile.

Having done his internship in the Milwaukee public schools, Mr. Brasile founded and organized the city's first wheelchair sports program.

For the past four years he has been the Supervisor of Recreation and Athletics, Rehabilitation Center at the University of Illinois. While there he taught a T.R. class on the physically disabled.

Mr. Brasile is interested in developing wheelchair sports intercollegiately. "Now there are just community teams. There are only five teams in the Central Intercollegiate Conference of the NWBA (National Wheelchair Basketball Association)."

Mr. Brasile first applied for a job at Longwood in 1973, unfortunately too late.

Throughout the following years he kept in touch with Dr. O'Neil.

At the end of last year he contacted Dr. O'Neil to tell her that he was penning new avenues.

He had some reservations about the program here with teachers leaving after only one year. "I was impressed with the students, not the program itself. It showed individuals who were willing to put out even with the situation that was going on here."

BySHERIFBESHAI The men's soccer team traveled to Christopher Newport on Tuesday. Following a slow start they fell to the Captains' 6-2.

After the first half they were down 4-0. They came back in the second half but still finished on the short end of a 6-2 final score.

This last weekend the soccer team traveled to Kings College in Tennessee where they were involved in a tournament with Kings College, liberty Baptist College, and Winthrop College from South Carolina. Thev lost their first game to Kings College 7-2 on Friday the 15th. On Saturday they played against Winthrop College. They fell 4-3 in a rugged game which included a lot of warnings from the referees to the players. The Lancers had three players selected to the all tournament team. David Yerkes, David Komornik and Brian Cochran gained that honor.

The next outing for the I oncers will be on Tuesday against N. C. Wesleyan at home at 4 p.m.

By DEBBIE NORTHERN Jimmy Connors for the third time took the U.S. open in the men's division, while Chris Evert took her fourth U.S. open championship last week.

The championships might not have had new victors, but it did have a new home . . . The Meadows instead of Forest Hills.

Connors met his old nemisis in the finals, Bjorn Borg, whom he soundly defeated 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Of course, Borg could explain that he had a sore thumb, which caused him to drop his racket several times and the court was faster than what he was used to.

But in the end it just bailed down to Connor's excellent performance. Connors got in 80 per cent of his first serves, compared with Borg's 58 per cent, not allowing Borg to break service.

Defending champion Vilas lost to sixth ranked Butch Walts in a match which lasted four hours and 11 minutes. The final talley was 6-4, 7-6, 4-6, 6-7, 6-2.

Connors had a tough match before reaching the finals. He just barely beat Adriano Panatta 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 7-5, by an impressive one handed, desperation back hand.

Chris Evert might have been surprised as to her opponent in the finals, since everyone had assumed she would be up against Martina Navratilova. Yet the topseeded Navratilova was taken out of the semifinals by 16-yearold Pam Shriver, the youngest player to ever vie for the championship. The 16th seed Shriver had often fallen prey to tennis prodigy Terry Austin, but held out over Navratilova 7-6,7-6.

Evert, though, crushed the teenager from Lutherville, Maryland 7-5, 6-4. Yet Shriver played good games, having three aces and six service winners.

Evert got to the unais by defeating Wendy Tumball 6-3, 6-0 in a 43 minute match.

Even though the U.S. open held few surprises, next year shows promise of many more new faces breaking in the finals.
