Press Conference Questions Under Study

By MELODY CRAWLEY The parking facilities on campus and the Dining Hall were the major issues discussed at the Press Conference, Thursday, in the Gold Room. Cam Oglesby also announced the sad news of Mrs. Florence Kayton's death, and a moment of silence was observed in her memory before the press conference began.

President Willett presented Cam Olgesby with a trophy for the legislative board's win over the administration in a softball game.

President Willett stated that the parking situation was a "continuing area of attention."

He said that the administration was working with the Farmville Town Council to try to provide more spaces. One of the proposals includes making the access road to John P. Wynne Campus School one way.

The problem with parking is continually getting better with the addition of the Wygal parking lot and other spaces, but will continue somewhat until the completion of the new Physical

Education building. The new parking lot will provide 120 additional spaces and in addition the sides of the streets will be curbed and guttered for parking.

The students were asked to inform the parents of the parking situation for Oktoberfest. Plans are in the making to provide shuttle service from the campus school that week end to provide more than 100 additional parking spaces.

Parking stickers were another area of concern. All Ix)ngwood students must register with the Campus Police and display a sticker on their car. The registration fee for dorm students is five dollars. This includes student teachers. There is no fee for the faculty or the day students. A study is going to be made about the day students receiving free stickers. Mr. Paul stated that it had been done this way for at least ten years but that the day students were now provided with spaces both on the street and in the Wygal lot.

President Willett pointed out that stickers in most colleges cost up

Family Planning Team Established On June 16,1978, a new facet of health services came to Prince Edward County with the formation of a family planning team.

The team, composed of five members: Leatha Boyles, Nurse Practioner; Judy Calhoun, Social Worker; Nan-Lewis Jennings, Outreach Worker-Information Officer; Betty Booker, Clinic Aide and Eddie Dickerson, Clerk, offer birth control information, abortion counseling, venereal disease information and Family Life counseling. These services are available to groups,- classes and one-to one individual

counseling.

Beginning July 21, 1978 the team has been meeting with Dr. Henry Willett, Dr. Mary Heintz and more recently Dr. Brian Robie and Mrs. Vivian Roop, clinic nurse, to discuss the formation of a family planning clinic for Longwood students.

The clinic, which will be held at the Prince Edward County Health Department, will be conducted the first Tuesday of each month from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Appointments must be made by calling 392-3445.

The first clinic will be held Tuesday, October 3rd, 1978.

Numerous questions on the dining hall were presented to Frank Klassen, Director of Dining Services, and Jimmy H. Paul, Business Manager. Mr. Paul reported that the student paid $645 for food services, $500 of that goes to ARA food services (It amounts to $16.42 for 21 meals per student). The school has looked into changing to a cafeteria style service, but the cost of equipment and the changes required would be "staggering" according to President Willett. President Willett also said in answer to a question about returning to (Continued on Page 8)

FLORENCE W. KAYTON 1907-1978 The students of Longwood will certainly miss her smiling face and helpfulness in the Longwood College Bookstore where she worked for eight years. She made many friends on the campus by her outgoing ways and sincere pleasure in assisting others.

Mrs. Kayton passed away September 27 at 8:30 a.m. in the bookstore from a heart attack.

New System To Improve Residence Life

By MELODY CRAWLEY Remember the Head Resident of last year? She was the person who was always running up and down the stairs trying to catch the fiends making all the noise, or having at least ten girls screaming at her for something.

This year is extremely different!

There are Resident Assistants located in upperclassmen and freshmen dormitories (with the exception of Stubbs and South Ruffnen, whereas last year their parallel, the Resident Advisor was only located in the freshmen dorms. Their job is an aggregate of the hall presidents, the resident advisors, and some of the head residents responsibilities. The RAs are students, and are there for the students, to handle any problems that arise on their hall. Their duties range from facilitating better life styles to filling out work orders and working with the Dorm President on retaining order.

Most students do not fully realize just how much the system at lA)ngwood has changed this year. The administration has innovated a new system which is designed to help the students and to better student life. Dr. Mary A. Heintz, vice president for Student Affairs and Ray Stephens, Director of Housing (Residence Hall Life) along with the other staff personnel, have worked extensively to modify a system used by other colleges so that it will meet the needs of our system.

The major change in the system is that is has introduced three new figures at Ixmgwood, Kevin Dunn, David Suchanic, and Virginia Berkley. The Area Coordinators are Mr. Stephens' immediate staff, to help better

residence life. They are to work on new programs and work out major problems in the system.

They will be working with Residence Board to provide a "proper atmosphere for student living." They will also work on room changes in the dormitories.

Their major job could be described as a 'foreman." The Resident Assistants and Resident Supervisors are under the supervision of the Area Coordinators. Any problems that can not be handled by them are referred to the Coordinators. The students are encouraged to go to see the Coordinators, if needed— however, the problem will usually be solved better at the location by the RA.

Kevin Dunn is formerly of Ramsey, N.J., but has spent the past four years in Williamsburg where he received his BA degree from the College of William and Mary. He has been in Farmville since January working with the housing program. His wife, Maria, is the Resident Supervisor for South Cunningham dormitory. When asked why he applied for the job, Dunn said "I wanted to stay in Virginia and wanted a regular job. I didn't want to leave the college environment."

David Suchanic found the job provided him a way to work on his masters degree and provided job experience at the same time.

Variety Of Interests Distinguishes

Be Fun

New Chemistry Professor

By MINDY HIHSCH Dr. Patrick Barber, Longwood's new Chemistry professor, cultivates grapes, 3 bees, HIKI enjoys Scottish country dancing. In addition to these unique hobbies, Dr Barber also is interested in and has done research with crystals He comes to Longwood from Keysville Community College His interest in grape cultivation was an important factor in his move to Southside Virginia. Dr Barber will present a research paper at VPI this year to summarize his seven years of experience in growing grapes in Virginia. He has experimented with approximately 35 different types of grapes mainly for the purpose of wine making but also for eating. Dr. Barber also enjoys caring for his seven bee colonies.

He does this to acquire honey and usually receives about 80 pounds of honey from each colony. When Dr. Barber takes time to relax from these two hobbies, he enjoys Scottish dancing. Although there are no Scottish dancing groups nearby, he and his wife do have several friends with this same interest.

One part of Chemistry that fascinates Dr. Barber is the study of crystal. Since crystals are basically simple, there have been many studies done concerning them; Dr. Barber has also researched liquid crystals. He began a project ten years ago trying to grow a twin crystal; there are still scientific groups attempting this today. Since liquid crystals react to heat, they were once used in medicine as a means for detecting tumors.

Crystals likewise have several commercial applications today.

For example, liquid crystal is used in mood rings and is also an

important ingredient in digital watches. Dr. Barber would like to begin growing some crystals but has been too busy so far.

Dr Barber has spent the last two years at the Ohio NASA Research Center. At the center, Dr. Barber worked on creating a battery for electric cars. Crystals were also used in this project. Dr. Barber published a paper on this work with electric cars.

However, not all the research has been made public. "A main reason for this," Dr. Barber states, "is that some of the other scientists do not want to share our information; they want to be the ones that get the credit." He believes that this is a large problem in science today.

Dr. Barber received his BS from Stanton in California in 1964 and his Doctorate from Cornell in New York in 1969. He continued his education further at Duke where he did post doctorate work.

He then went to Keysville and taught at the Community College for seven years. Since he taught near Longwood, he became acquainted with most of the science faculty members. A main reason for changing to longwood is because teaching at a two year community college is too restrictive; only general courses are taught. At Ixmgwood, in addition to teaching the basic chemistry classes, Dr. Barber is also teaching Analytical and Physical Chemistry. He likes longwood and enjoys his classes.

While at Duke, Dr. Barber became a member of the Sigma Xi Club. This is a scientific reciprocal of Phi Beta Kappa.

Sigma Xi is a national organization and there is a Dong wood-Hampden -Sydney chapter here. It is a research association and was founded in response to Phi Beta Kappa.

Rush Activities Fill Air With Excitement

By LAURIE HOFFMAN Math really can be fun. The fourth annual Mathematics for Fun and Profit Day, held Saturday, September 30, was aimed at proving this fact to 90 local high school students. The students, juniors and seniors from 14 high schools within a 70mile radius of Ixmgwood, were given the opportunity to experience a college classroom situation and to learn more about mathematics.

Each student was able to choose two classroom programs to attend. The titles for the five available programs were "Worlds of Strange Shapes and Sizes," "Mathematical Wizardry," "Mathematics Amusements for High School Students," "Baseball: A Game of Chance?" and "Games People Like To Play." Each program was presented by a different member of Ixjngwood's math staff.

The students also were invited to take tours of the computer facilities, where Dr. Hightower presented interactive computing demonstrations.

Open for browsing were a calculator display and a National Counciling for Teachers of Mathematics materials display.

Dr. Robert May, chairman for the event, and his committee consisting of Mrs. Cade Parrish and Dr. Robert Wu worked since last spring on the plans. All members of the math department and interested math majors participated in the day's activities.

S-UN Open Mike

By JUDI STANLEY On Wednesday, September 27, in the Gold Room the Student Union presented the first Open Mike performance for this academic year. Open Mike is free entertainment by Longwood College students who simply want to perform before an audience. These performers are not paid and the show is open to the public.

Though it has not been done in the past, this year's performers are being judged. The winners will be paid to play as a warm-up group before the professional band at the "Saturday Night Alive" concerts. Therefore, the winners of the Wednesday Open Mike will be playing as the warmup and intermission groups on Saturday, September 30.

There was a wide variety of performances at the show on Wednesday night. The first of these was a trio made up of Rusty Harley (piano), Kerry McCarthey (vocal), and Dale Roller (electric guitar). This group played three songs, including an original—"For

You"—by Rusty Hurley. They were then joined by And> Pittard, John Hudson, and Mike Tubb for an instrumental number. The following group consisted of John Hudson (piano and vocal), Tom Sullivan (trumpet), Artdy Pittard (Tenor saxophone), Susan Bernard (flute), and Mike Tubb (percussion); their performance also includes an original—this one composed and sung by John Hudson for Joy Pague. The next performer, a soloist, Hank Dahlman, played guitar and sang numbers by James Taylor and America.

Following Mr. Dahlman, there was a disco dance performance by "Pam and Coconut."

This type of performance is a first for SUN Open Mike here at Longwood.

After the dancers, a day student, Dave Wilson, gave a performance as a "reasonable facsimile" of Neil Young; joining Mr. Wilson was Craig White who then did three solo numbers. The audience was then treated to a comedy-song performance by "Ricky Valium and the

Depressants" (Duke Rollins, Richard Balian, and Jan Wyatt i who did three numbers and then insisted on being allowed to do a fourth dedicated to the Ixmgwood College students, especially the Freshman class, entitled "Fall Break". On a more serious note Tom Sullivan played guitar and sang three untitled originals.

Dennis Fain also sang and played guitar for the next three numbers including an original entitled "Love's Destiny". The final performance was an encore by "Pam and Coconut".

The performance was wellattended and Donna Hasky, VicePresident of the Student Union, said that she was "very pleased with both the turnout and number of participants." The next Open Mike will be held on November 21,1978; during the week prior to the program, any student interested in performing may sign up in the S-UN office.

Film Professor Participates In Conferences

By DONNA HASKY A film-maker in her own right, Dr. Charlotte Schrader-Hooker, Professor of Film Studies, recently attended two major conferences concerning the cinema.

The first, from September 11-19, was sponsored

by CILECT, the International Center of Liaison of Schools of Cinema and Television, which is made up of directors of film schools around the world.

From a variety of nations, including Sweden, Russia, East and West Germany, Egypt, Great Britain, Denmark, Canada and Japan, the directors brought selected student-made films from which were chosen the ten best by a panel of international judges.

After the film screenings, three days of the meeting were devoted to presentations of papers discussing the formation of a core curriculum for film study that could be used internationally.

Chosen to act as a hostess by the Universal Film Association,

Dr. Schrader-Hooker helped welcome the approximately 50 delegates to Airlie House in Warrenton, Virginia. One day was spent sightseeing in Washington, D. C, where the visitors had a chance to tour the Capitol and White House, as well as other favorite tourist spots.

The following week from the 21st-23rd, Dr. Schrader-Hooker traveled to West Virginia University at Morgantown to attend a conference on Literature and the Film.' The three days included screenings of professionally made films, paper presentations and panel discussions. Dr. SchraderHooker served on a panel titled •When Are They Going To Make a Movie of. . .?" along with New York film critic John Simon. She also served as moderator for a discussion on surrealism in film.

Featured speaker for the meeting was Penelop Gilliott, film critic for the New Yorker, and writer of the screen play for "Bloody Sunday."

Photos Exhibited

By DEBBIE NORTHERN The Virginia Museum State Services Exhibit, "Landscape in Photography," will open in the Lancaster Library Gallery, October 6-30.

The exhibit will include 37 photographs which consists of a wide range of original prints demonstrating the unique pictorial capabilities of the medium. Among the nineteenthand twentieth-century cameramen represented are Felice A. Beato, George N. Barnard, and Edward Weston.

By BRENDA BONUCELLI Phi Mu Alpha has come.

John Hudson, a music major at longwood, began plans for this new fraternity in the middle of last semester. He felt that the men within the music department needed something to pull them together—to unify them. The idea of a music fraternity got off to a shakey start, but determination and hard work have proven profitable. Phi Mu Alpha must function in a colony capacity until it has been initiated into the national chapter. Its 19 members and advisor, Dr. Egbert, are extremely enthusiastic, and they look forward to a fantastic beginning.

Elections have been held and officers are as follows: president, John Hudson, vice-president, Scott Noonan; sargeant-at-arms, Rusty Hurley; secretary, Tony Kent; music program director, Andy Pittard; and treasurer, Dale Roller. Dues were set at $40.00 a year; 20 dollars of this is being sent to the national chapter. The rest will be used for chapter activities, such as the spring pops concert being planned with Phi Mu Alpha's counterpart, Sigma Alpha Iota.

A basic requirement for anyone interested in joining Phi Mu Alpha is, according to Scott Noonan, "a vital interest in music and a dedication to your profession." Members do not have to be music majors, but certain courses are required. A cumulative average is being decided.

123 \. Main St.

Farmville, Va.

The national purpose of Phi Mu Alpha, as stated in the handbook, is "to unify members in their vital interest in music; to provide brotherhood; and to provide unified musicianship and dedication to the music field."

The chapter feels it can go nowhere but up. It plans to work to become worthy of the reputation of the music department, and plans to make a name for itself on campus and with other fraternities. Phi Mu Alpha wants to totally avoid the. impression of being "stuffy."

"I think anyone who comes to Ixmgwood in the music field will have the interest to join!," says president John Hudson. Any connection with music majors will prove that they are terrific people.

Good luck, Phi Mu Alpha!

Longwood Students On The Radio

By JESSIE LIGNIAN Longwood students enrolled in the Speech 311 class are given the unique opportunity to do a weekly radio program. The course is a radio and TV class in which the students are required to put on an SRO radio program which is aired at 1:15 p.m. every Tuesday on WFM. 870 on the AM dial. The program lasts 15 minutes and may be of whatever context the students choose The class provides students with the opportunity to experience the field of communications This Tuesday, October 3, 1978, the program will be an interview with I)r Rosemary Sprague of the English Department at Longwood. Dr. Sprague will highlight her educational background, her personal [••starch, her love of music, and of course, her all-important friend, her dog, Turnadot.

LETTERS

FROM THE EDITOR

Fake Fire Alarms Are A Hazard

It is four in the morning. The majority of the students are huddled in hed sound asleep, with visions of tosts and weekends floating through their heads.

Suddenly a piercing noise disturbs their slumber.

Their minds, after a few seconds of confusion realize wh,it it is — a FIRE DRILL! They leap out of bed, grap towels, jackets and shoes, then hurl themselves down flights of stairs.

Now, it is a very good idea to regularly have fire drills so everyone will become accustomed to the procedures involved and not panic if there is an actual tire some day. Regularly does not mean three or four limes ;i week, or that many in a single night.

People who falsely pull fire alarms should be severely punished. Pulling a fire alarm just for thrills is .-(gainst the law.

Recently there has been a rash of false alarms all over rnmpus. After a good many of these "jokes," students do not find it amusing to be awakened at odd hours and have to go outdoors. They begin to ignore them, hiding in their rooms to avoid going outside. This could become a very dangerous habit. What if there is a real fire' It happened last year in a college dormitory and several people lost their lives. It could happen again — this time at I.ongwood.

Another real danger is accidents which can occur as tired people hurry down several flights of stairs, lust this past week a student injured herself falling down some stairs as a result of a fire drill. This drill was planned, but the same mishap could just as easily occur in an unplanned drill.

Longwood should make all efforts to find out the guilty part in all pulled alarms. Those who pull them should grow up and realize that false alarms are not funny Also all those who ignore fire alarms should realize that one day the alarm might be real. Even if its is annoying, especially in the winter to trudge down everal flights of stairs, get out of the building quickly.

The school rule which requires that everyone leave is for your own safety.

Let's not have any more false alarms this year!

Therefore, people might learn to respect the fire ilarms

Leavitt Confident Of Future

By LAURIE HOFFMAN Ann Leavitt, 20, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Leavitt, is in THE ROTUNDA'S spotlight this week. Ann and her family now reside in Atlanta, Georgia, but they have had to move often in the past.

Home economics, with an option in food and nutrition, is Ann's major. She would like to enter a career involving both food and public relations, such as meal planning for conventions and other special occasions.

Ann plans to work in Georgia for one year while living at home, but is willing to relocate after this time. She hopes to marry and start a family after working a few years. She firmly believes that a woman should not work while her children are young.

Ann seems confident about the future. She does not feel that she has been able to take enough foods courses to prepare her in this area, but says that her work with the Student Union has taught her about getting along with people and helped her to realize

Many people know Ann for her participation in numerous extracurricular activities, a part of college life which she considers as important as academics. She feels that they "build you...and prepare you."

Ann is perhaps best recognized as chairman of the Student Union. She has been involved with S-UN since her freshmen year, but insists that she never even considered being chairman until only one day before the deadline for running.

Holding the positions of Colleague, student assistant, and orientation leader has helped Ann fulfill her desire to help others.

She also served as chairman of the 1978 Miss l>ongwood Pageant and is a member of the Home Ec Club. Ann was chosen last year as a junior usher for Oktoberfest.

"I'm glad to be a senior," says Ann, "but ever since I've been back this year I've found myself reminiscing." She misses sitdown meals with the blessing, Sunday dinners where everyone (Continued on Page 6)

Dear Editor, In response to the letter from David Gates in last weeks ROTUNDA, we believe that this letter is long overdue. In our opinion, and in speaking for the majority of the students at I/mgwood College, we would like to voice these thoughts: Action MUST be taken to stop the unnecessary and annoying misuse of the fire alarms. As members of a college community, not a kindergarten we assume that students are mature enough to respect the rights of their fellow students, not to mention the fact that pulling a fire alarm needlessly is a Federal offense, punishable by imprisonment. Have students actually proven guilty for pulling the alarms been given a second chance? Not only should they be dismissed from school, but they should also face the consequences in court.

Recalling the incident in a northern school last winter; after numerous false alarms, several students lost their lives. We repeat: several students lost their lives, because thoughtless, ignorant people did not have the sense to realize that their sick jokes may very well end up in a case of simple murder.

Members of the Residence Board informed us tonight, or rather this morning that the administration has been notified, and requested, to do something concerning this matter. If this is true, we fail to understand why nothing has been done.

In closing, we again recall the headlines of last years tragic occurrence. Must we wait to take action until one of our students dies? We would like to ask one question; Is Ixmgwood looking for a way to make headlines?

Sincerely, Nelle Jones Trish Maloney

ROTC Rolling Into Second Year

By PAM MCDOWELL Are you looking for excitment and some challenges during your college career? If you answer is yes, Longwood has a big surprise.

The Army ROTC program is now entering its second year at I -ongwood College and it is bigger and better than ever. Not only has enrollment increased 300 per cent but two new staff members have joined the department. SFC Timothy B. Jordan, along with Captain R. Sullivan, have been assigned as permanent staff members.

SFC Jordan took part in Basic Training at Fort Jackson, advanced training at Fort Gordon and jump school at Fort Benning, Ga. He served in Vietnam for 14 months with the Fourth Infantry Division, spent six years with the 82nd Airborne Division and recently returned from his last assignment in Hawaii. SFC Jordan requested assignment with the ROTC Program because he wanted to "participate in the development of officers coming into the Armed services." He adds, "I am concerned with the fact that enlisted personnel have to deal closely with officers and want to see the quality of officers up to standard." SFC chose Longwood College for his assignment because he wishes to further his education.

Captain Sullivan completed the ROTC program at the University of Southern Mississippi. He has been assigned to Fort Sill twice, flew helicopters in Vietnam for one year, completed a tour in Europe and spent three years in Fort Stewart, Captain Sullivan commented that "I requested an assignment with the ROTC program because I enjoyed the program in college as a student. I would like to get involved with the ROTC program from a teaching-instructing standpoint.

It affords one of many opportunities and is a way of meeting people."

In addition to having full time instructors, this year is important in that the program is a year ahead of schedule. Classes on the Ms-3 level of instruction

Photo by Vicki Seekford Rim students shoulder their new "M-16." are being offered to juniors.

Army ROTC is a four-year course of study, open to men and women, which may be taken by Ixmgwood concurrently with their regular course work. Credits earned in military science are counted as elective hours, and may be offered as hours to fulfill the graduation requirements for any degree.

The course of study is divided into two phases: the basic course, taken during the freshman and sophomore years; and the advanced course, taken during the junior and senior years.

Students enrolled in the basic course do not incur any military obligation, and are not required to take the advanced course (three each year). Successful completion of the program earns the student a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

Cadets may compete for Army scholarships that include all academic fees, tuition, supplies and equipment, plus $100 per academic month. Students enrolled in the advanced course earn $100 per academic month.

All uniforms, books and equipment are provided by the Army; a refundable deposit to cover the expense of loss or damage must be made each year.

Books Contributed By MilitaryScience Department The Department of Military Science at Longwood College has contributed 120 books on a variety of subjects to the college's Dabney Lancaster Library.

hosting them, by providing a comprehensive reference system for use throughout the college community.

Included among the noted titles and authors are "Human Behavior" by Berelson and Steiner, "Khrushchev Remembers" by Edward Crankshaw, "The American Enlisted Man"

by Charles Moskos, and "The Negro in the Civil War" by Quarles.

The gift of the books was coordinated by Major B. B. Hamaker, officer in charge of the military science program at Longwood, and Mrs. Martha LeStourgeon, director of I-ancaster Library, who stated that the books are a "welcome addition" to the library's collection.

An additional group of books will arrive later this fall, bringing the total to 167 volumes valued at $2,200. The books were funded through a special program designed to assist R.O.T.C. units, and the colleges and universities

Major Hamaker stated that nearly every discipline at longwood will benefit from the new books. "The military science department wants to contribute as much as possible to the entire academic community," he said.

The military science program leads to commissions in all branches of the Army. Seniors planning to pursue graduate study may request a delay in reporting to active duty to permit their continued education. The top of graduates nationally will be offered Army fellowships for graduate school if they desire. In addition, special programs in medicine and law are available to graduates.

The ROTC challenges that it will contribute to one's personal growth and ability to accept responsibility. Extra activities

are offered as the Run for Your life program week end trips and hopefully, an Orienteering Club will be formed this year.

The Run for Your Life program is furnished for those looking for physical conditioning, motivation, and recognition for outstanding achievement.

Patches and certificates are awarded according to the number of miles run.

Orienteering involves navigating cross country over unfamiliar terrain with a map and compass in order to locate control markers. This type of activity encourages environmental awareness, physical fitness and proficiency in map reading skills and the use of a compass. The probability of the formation of a Color Guard has also been mentioned.

Two new developments in ROTC deal with the juniors. This is the first year juniors will be eligible for the Scabbard and Blade, the national fraternity for ROTC students. They will also have an opportunity to participate in the summer camp.

This camp consists of six weeks of intensified training in leadership and military related subjects. It is highly competitive with much strenuous activity.

Participants serve as the leader in a unit of peers on a rotational basis. This is a coeducational venture.

Not all skills and materials are covered in the classroom. The students are provided opportunities to experience situations they would not cope with in daily life. I^ast year the ROTC students went to Nags

Head. NC. where they camped on the beach with Army supplies and learned to hang glide.

Students also went canoeing and traveled to I>angley Air Force Base, where they observed an F15 and watched a film on Tactical Fire Power, and to Fort Eustis, where they visited the Transportation Museum.

During the trip to Fort A.P. Hill, cadets gained experience in repelling, orienteering, operating an M-16 rifle and a machine gun.

Air mobile operations, tactual maneuvers, sniper ambush, and hazardous area stream crossing.

This year a canoeing trip is planned for October 2. a hang gliding trip to Nags Head.

NC. on November 11.

On October 18. the students will be attending an Airborne demonstration at Fort Lee. On the 29th. selected juniors will be attending field leadership exercises at Fort A.P. Hill. They will gain experience in working with an M-16. machine gun, leadership and orienteering, and physical fitness training. During the week of November 15, students will learn about the history of military aviation and orientation and air mobile arientation. A classroom series is planned in which the National Guard will bring in UH-1 (Huey) helicopters.

Major Hamaker, who helped pioneer the ROTC program at Longwood, commented that.

"Our acceptance at Longwood by students and faculty has been magnificent. We appreciate all assistance everyone has given us and look to further cooperation in. future years.*"

By EDIE PARKINS The average person thinks of Home Economics as a major for Suzy Homemakers.

Mrs. Ann Thompson, the head of Longwood's Home Ec. department says that, "The focus of Home Economics is the family because we are so diversified. Everything the home economist does touches the family, either indirectly or Terry (ochran, a former I..( . directly."

Ann Leavitt (Continued from Page 4) dressed, and the freedom of a dorm without visiting hours on week days.

As a member of the last all-girl class to enter Longwood, Ann feels that coeducation has reflected many changes. But she wonders if many of these changes are the direct result of going coed, or if they were inevitable ones which simply coincided with the state ruling.

One change for which Ann is glad is the loss of Ix>ngwood's suitcase-college image. She looks forward, too, to the continued growth of the school, but feels that people need to be open to change in order for this to take place.

Ann Iyeavitt may be glad to be graduating, but many will be sad to see her leave. Her devotion, and her infectious smile, will be sorely missed.

By SHERIF BESHAI The soccer team lost its sixth game against the University of Richmond, 4-1, on September 27.

Offensively the team was very weak. The only goal scored against Richmond was in the last few minutes by defensive man Kenneth Gebbie. Coach Richard Williamson said: "The offense has not gotten the ball that much to be able to take shots on goal."

When asked about the problems the team has, he said, "The team is not playing together which creates a lot of problems."

The Lancers also played Roanoke College on September 30 where they lost 5-1. They ended up playing a little better in the game against Richmond. The team had a lot of injuries; B. Cochran with a twisted ankle, David Yerkes with an injured

Cunningham To Aid Potential Of T.R. Program

By PAULA JOHNSON "I met Dr. O'Neil at a convention. She told me about a position available in the department. Since I had an interest in the field of education, I decided to apply for the job," Peter Cunningham said as he gave his reasons for coming to Longwood's Therapeutic Recreation program.

Cunningham came here from Daviess County, Kentucky, where he was Director of Parks and Recreation. "I really like it here—both the college and the town. It is a complete change from 60,000 to 6,500 people," he said.

As an undergraduate he attended Austin P State; he did his undergraduate work at Murry State University. Here at Ix)ngwood, Cunningham teaches outdoor education classes, camping, and camp counselling.

"To teach a complete major, there must be background in the total recreation program," he said. In his classes Cunningham stated that he encouraged participation"...to put the students at ease."

Cunningham believes that the Therapeutic Recreation program here "has great potential. It has grown rapidly in the last few

years and will continue to grow."

According to Cunningham the faculty is "...constantly reviewing and upgrading the program so that the students we graduate are best prepared for the field they are entering."

As Freshman advisor, Cunningham encourages the new students to take a few introductory classes to obtain a general idea of the history of T.R. He also encourages concentration on their general education courses to acquire a broad background of college and a little knowledge. Cunningham also advises that after the Freshman year the student should participate in field experience to see what they are looking for in the T.R. field.

"The Longwood program draws Freshmen from a broad geographical area. It is one of the few small colleges in the United States to have a four year undergraduate program," he said. Cunningham went on to say that Ixmgwood had a "...very good student organization with a close group of majors."

In addition to his teaching duties, Cunningham is a faculty sponsor of the klowns; he will also assist in the mens' intramural program.
