LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12,1980
Board Studies Management Recommendations By MELODY CRAWLEY Longwood's Board of Visitors adopted a resolution introduced by Mrs. J.L. Davidson which "thanks the study team and its assistants for their time, effort and clarification of the needs of Longwood." The board also stated that it provided, "the tool with which to improve our college." In another resolution, the Board said that they would study the team recommendations and adopt those in the best interest of the college." Three committees were appointed by the Rector at the Board's request after studying the management report. The first came as a request of Mrs. J.L. Davidson and the unanimous support of the Board. A committee of Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Joshua Pretlow, and Gay Kampfmueller was established to study the compiling of a Board manual. lister E. Andrews, Eric L. Robinson, and M. Ralph Page were appointed to a budget and President Henry I. Willett Jr., Board Rector Mrs. A. 0. Mitchell finance committee.

college policies and appoint
Regular Business Brings Needed Questioning The Board of Visitors, in their regular business session, Friday, approved the college's existing policy on foreign student fees. The reevaluation of the current policy came as a request from the Governor to all Virginia state supported colleges. According to the report given by J.L. Brascome, Vice President for Finance, foreign students pay the same tuition as an out of state student. Under federal regulations, they are not eligible for financial aid. Also, under the Office of Vice President for Finance report, the Board approved the 1980 Summer School fees for the two five-week sessions. The Comprehensive fee for a five-week period will be $250. They approved the payment of over $20,000 for overload and adjunct faculty. Questioned was the status and necessity of the cheerleading coach. Three new appointments were approved by the Board: Mrs. Sandra A. Bollinger as Registrar, effective January 2,1980; Dr. Jennings G. Cox as Director of Counseling, beginning April 2,1980; and Boyd M. Fisher as Admissions Counselor and Instructor, as of January 2, 1980 Mrs. A. O. Mitchell, Rector of the Board, raised a question as to the status of "the tree." Dr. William Peele, Vice President of Administration, reported to the
Board that the tree was still standing. He stated that a final decision would not be made until the spring outcome is viewed. Concern was expressed as to how much was being done to recruit "other-race" students. Dr. Peele assured the Board that the school was doing everything it could to recruit them. He stated that a minority admissions counselor had been hired for two days a week just to work with minority hopefuls. Board member Lester E. Andrews of Farmville requested a report on the baseball field project. Dr. Peele reported that bids for this project were received Thursday and would be opened that day (Friday). He approximated the cost to be around $25,000-$30,000 for the field to be built in the Campus School area. The need for this field arouse due to the fact that the college can not use the Prince Edward County field prior to 2:45 p.m., when county school dismisses. Both President Willett and IAC Director T.C. Dalton reported that County Superintendent James Anderson had worked with them on this problem, but the County needed their field when school was in session. Dean of Students Mary A. Heintz reported that the Residence Hall staff was in the process of holding meetings in
the residence halls to receive input on next year's housing. She noted that her office is open to any input from the students. Earlier, Board member Andrews addressed the overcrowding situation of this past year. Administration assured him that there was communication between admissions and the Housing director. Although facts and reports show an apparently different situation, Dr. Peele stated that "the team had a definite misconception about communications between housing and admissions." President Willett claimed that it is a "theory of ours" that the change to co-education had a lot to do with the increase in upperclassmen returning. Apparently, "in the past. . some were withdrawing to go to coeducational institutions." T.C. Dalton, Administrative Assistant to the President, reported that a Junior-Senior survey is now nearing completion. Juniors and Seniors were selected at random to reevaluate the college's academic, social, and co-curricular activities. The Board voted 8-1 to support the college's efforts to change to NCAA Division II in men's athletics. Much discussion was brought forth as to the implications, mostly financial, of the move.

personnel. This responsibility was removed from the president. Members of this committee include Mrs. E.A. West, Mrs. Jesse Overstreet, Mrs. William L. Anfin, Roland E. Thompson, and Eric L. Robinson. The Board concentrated on the 42 recommendations of the Executive summary, beginning with the ones on the Board itself. The Board voted unanimously to stress an open line of communications with students, faculty, and staff. A unanimous vote was also carried on the motion to have
summaries of all Executive Board meetings. "I think the full Board needs to know the score,'* stated Mrs. Davidson. President Willett explained the role of the l/>ngwood College Council to the Board. This 15member council was established seven years ago. The team suggested that the role of the Council be expanded and redefined. Under the college's entire committee system, the Board asked Dean Carolyn Wells to submit a review of all the committees at the next meeting. (Continued on Page 8)

Board Backs Willett By MELODY CRAWLEY After spending more than seven hours in executive session Friday, the Board of Visitors announced that they supported President Henry I. Willett Jr. The announcement came Friday night after a 5-4 vote of confidence was cast in their concluding executive session. Members supporting President Willett and the administration were Mrs. William L. Anfin, of Radford; Gay Kampfmueller, of Virginia Beach; Mrs. Joshua Pretlow, of Suffolk; Eric L. Robinson, of Farmville; and Vice Rector Roland E. Thompson, of Upperville. Dissenting votes were cast by Lester E. Andrews, of Farmville; Mrs. J.L. Davidson, of Lynchburg; Mrs. E.A. West, of Rocky Mount; and Mrs. Jesse Overstreet, of Clarksville Mrs. Davidson's disapproval of President Willett was evident throughout the two-day meetings. "I want you to read our by-laws. We've given all our privileges to Henry." Board member M. Ralph Page, a Richmond Lawyer, was absent from the Board meetings because of court commitments. The Rector of the Board, Mrs.
A.O. Mitchell, of Newport News, also cast her vote in support of President Willett bringing the vote of those present to 6-4. However, the Rector's vote is not legally counted except in a tie vote. Both President Willett and Mrs. Mitchell were satisfied with the Board's two day meeting. "We are very, very positive," concluded Mrs. Mitchell about the college. She also stressed that the Board was "a unified body and will act together." President Willett remains confident that there will be an "overall effort of communication." He and Mrs. Mitchell announced that the Board will be meeting with the College Council during their March meeting. At this time they hope to receive questions and input from all aspects of the campus. In addition to the present members of the College Council, representatives from the Student-Union, Judicial Board, The Rotunda, and the classified employees will be in attendance. President Willett added that "the college has a lot going for it." He said that admissions looked good and "the college picture looks bright."

Changes Needed In Bookstore By ROBIN REYNOLDS The Bookstore committee, consisting of faculty, administration, and students, will meet with Mr. Harper on February 21. They will be discussing the Bookstore's business, making sure that things are running smoothly. Thus far, only recommendations for changes are being made, it is not assured, however, that the alterations are going to come through In the last Management Report that came out, some questions were brought up. For example, is the bookstore beneficial to the school and to the students financially0 It was also pointed out that a study in areas like these has not been made in a long time and one is needed very badly. The committee will work with Mr. Harper in these areas of Last In Series:
By LISA SPENCER This past week, Housing Director Tom Nanzig visited most of the dormitories on Campus, asking for and discussing ideas for next year's housing plans. Student attendance for the meetings was very poor, but those students who did attend had some very good ideas. Many suggestions discussed are topics that will be considered for next semester's housing. The most popular idea under consideration will be the subject of freshman housing. Should there be freshman halls or dormitories? Should freshmen be kept together or should they be allowed to stay in any dorm? (These questions will be answered when the Administrative Staff makes its decision). However, Nanzig says that the general concensus is to keep freshmen in the same dormitories wherever possible. Other topics discussed included — allotting more space for men in Frazier Hall, room selection by suites, keeping Stubbs Hall for sorority use only, and allotting more rooms to fraternities and sororities. One particularly interesting idea that has been presented is that of having Roommate Selection Cards. This would be for those people who would not have a particular roommate in mind for the next year. These people would fill out a card which would contain information about themselves such as their interests, allergies, etc. They would then try to find another
concern and suggestions will be made. A student survey will be out the middle of this week, asking for suggestions and revisions. These proposals will be brought up at the meeting. The students are asked to please participate, as a certain per cent is needed before the survey will be considered valid. The committee will discuss these changes, but they do not have the power to force the changes. The general consensus of the committee, however, is that changes are needed to improve the students' relationship with the bookstore business. Once again, the students are urged to fill out and send in the The following is a list of the survey.

Team Evaluates Financial Management By MELODY CRAWLEY i Editor'ft Note: This is the third and last article in a series of features explaining the report released by Governor John N. Dalton's Management team. The features have attempted to summarize the report, and point out important findings and recommendations). Financial Management: The Department of Accounts examined the offices under the direction of the Vice President for Finance. These consist of Purchasing and Accounts Payable Office, Payroll Office, Treasurer's Office and Central Stores' Office. The team recommended that, "The College, on a routine basis, should have contracts such as contracts with the ARA Food Service and the Book Store reviewed for bid to determine if the College is obtaining the most effective and economical services." They also brought questions concerning the College's golf pro. They stated that they found the Media Contract approval had been obtained from the Attorney

card that contained information similar to theirs and contact that person as a possible roommate. This is only a possibility; no decision has yet been reached. Definite proposals for next year's housing should be announced within the next couple of weeks. What is known now concerns the selection of rooms: February 22 — All students who want to return to Longwood must have paid their $100 deposit. Otherwise, they will be placed at the bottom of the list for room selection. February 29 — Sorority and Fraternity sign-up March 10 and 11 - All those who wish to homestead will sign-. up. March 12 — Number draw for rooms will be held in the Lower Dining Hall. March 13 — Senior Room Selection (LDH) March 18 — Junior Room
Selection (LDH) March 20 — Sophomore Room Selection (LDH) Students are encouraged to have in mind some idea of where they would like to room, and who they would like as a roommate. This is in order to avoid long lines and unnecessary delay. "I want to make housing selection as logical, reasonable, and as pleasant as possible," stated Nanzig. Students will be informed ahead of time as to which rooms will be available for selection next semester. Anyone who has a problem or a question concerning housing is encouraged to first contact Residence Board. "Residence Board is a voice of the people," said Nanzig. Other places to tryare the Housing Office, the area coordinators, and even the Resident Advisors in the dorms. Ideas and suggestions from the students are welcomed.
Woods Lectures On "Apocalypse Now" By JODI KERSEY On Tuesday, February 5, William C. Woods, associate professor of English, delivered the latest department's seminar entitled "Rumors and Random Intelligence". Many students and professors attended this lecture on the controversial firm "Apocalypse Now" directed byFrancis Coppola and its fictional prototype Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Woods began the lecture by giving an array of movie reviews about "Apocalypse Now" which helped to convey the controversial effect the movie is having since its September opening in New York. The psychological impact, Woods stated, formulates 'battles in minds and foxholes". Woods felt that Coppola's transition from fiction to film was convincing because Coppola was faithful to Conrad's text. The movie was like "an inverted compliment to Heart of Darkness", noticed and judged along with the movie. Through the use of quotations from the movie, Woods exemplified the difference in cultures during the Vietnam war and the fact that war was the commanding force. There were few ideas and emotions, just clean information. An example of this is when a man was lying in a trench and another man stepped on his face and the first man yelled "You stepped on my face"
and the other explained, "Sorry, I thought you were dead". And secondly, when Captain Willard asked one of his soldiers if he knew who was in command and the soldier just answered "yes". Such an answer as this suggested that war itself became the commander as each man shared the common denominator—to stay alive. Marlon Brando was the European traitor who went mad and continually recited T.S. Eliot in the movie. Martin Sheen was the American captain sent to kill Brando for being a traitor. Brando who portrayed Colonel Kurtz, and his encampment displayed Eliot's idea of "Shape without form". As Brando tried, rather unsuccessfully, to make appear the psychological effects of war by mentioning the third internal eye which was like being "Shot with a diamond bullet". Woods stated that Brando had gone "Native". Captain Willard, portrayed by Martin Sheen, could kill Kurtz and break with the army but he could not overcome or leave this culture and technology as Woods quoted Willard; "They were going to make me a major and I wasn't even in their army". Woods also discussed some of the problems and faults which manifested during the production of the movie. Coppola, the director of "Apocalypse Now", (Continued on Page 8)

DeFrates To Return With Compelling Sound By SHEILA GOLLHARDT S-UN Spotlight Concert, Feb. 19, 1980, in the Gold Room proudly presents for the second time, Jamie DeFrates. DeFrates was born in Springfield, 111. He began singing at the age of 5 and started playing acoustic guitar and writing songs at the age of 10. He went to the University of 111. and studied architecture while performing in clubs around the campus. Jamie has played in such distinguished clubs as Gerdes Folk City, New York, The Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, and the Great Southern Music Hall, Orlando and Gainsville. DeFrates is a poet and a musician with a sense of mystic about him. He views the world with compassion, wisdom and amusement. His voice is of silky sacred sounds set to a soft rock beat. Dramatizations of his stages of voice intensities are of such a great flow that he compels the audience to listen. In 1974,
The PBS Television Network aired a half hour special on DeFrates and his musical poetry. In 1976, he formed his own record label "Sweet Appoloosa Music" which he produced his first album "Pegasus Inflight", a solo effort. His new album "Son of Dust" is now receiving airplay in many areas of the country. Jamie has been the opening act for such notables as Janis Ian, Jimmy
Giff and Melanie with excellent reviews. DeFrates defies putting himself in a category but says "I'm just a product of the times, that's all, just a product of the times." The concert is FREE8:00, and worth to your advantage to hear Jamie's lyrics of odes of love with religious echoes that will intertwine with life as it does his.

A Different Type Of Art Exhibit The annual exhibition of work by members of Longwood College's art faculty is currently showing in the Lancaster Library Gallery at the college. As usual, the exhibit encompasses a great diversity of creative expression and interests, as well as very individualistic uses of media and techniques. Mark Baldridge is showing 14carat gold earrings with emeralds and a wedding set of 14carat gold with sapphires and diamonds. Barbara Bishop is showing a group of nine photo collages, a "Landscape Series" of five works using handmade paper, a silkscreen print, and a pencil

A Sensitive Touch And A Humorous Touch
The Spirit By LINDA WHEELER Ixmgwood has long been known for its spirit of togetherness and people who are willing to help one another. One can find this "spirit" in just about all of the buildings on campus. That "spirit" is evident in Jarman Auditorium with the upcoming production of "Carousel" by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Four academic departments are combining their talents for this production. Dr. Young from the Department of Speech and Drama, Dr. Egbert from the Music Department, Miss Bishop from the Art Department, and Dr. Neal from the Department of Health and Physical Education are bringing their many talents together to present to the audiences in Jarman a show filled with music, adventure, love, and even a few tears. All together, the show includes the help and hard work of close to, if not more than, 100 people. All have worked hard to bring "Carousel" to life. As Dr. Young, Dr. Egbert, Dr. Neal, or Miss Bishop could tell you, any play, concert, physical activity, or exhibit takes time to plan and to present, but it can only be done with the help of many hands; "Carousel" is no exception. So come out and see "Carousel" in Jarman Auditorium from February 20 through the 23. Longwood students are free with their I.D.'s and general admission is $2.50. Curtain time is 8 p.m. You won't be disappointed!

drawing. Her photo collages originate as a collection of images taken with a Polaroid SX-70 camera equipped with a close-up lens. Before the prints are completely dry, the artist manipulates them with a pencil or baU-point pen to move the emulsion around, creating added color and texture. Her silkscreen, titled "Mr. Lincoln," also originated as a Polaroid SX-70 photograph. Randall Edmonson, who joined Longwood's art faculty this year, is showing his paintings and pottery for the first time in this area. His two acrylic paintings, "Presidio Barracks" and "Mae Smith," are crisp, with hard edges, achieved by a flat application of color with a focus on shadows. His other contributions to the exhibit are porcelain and stoneware bowls and bottle with handsome glazes. Dr. Elisabeth Flynn and Dr. Carolyn Wells are showing photographs, both color and black-and-white. Virginia Mitchell is showing tie dyed mats, two large tie dyed wall hangings, and a batik. Conway B.

By FRANKCREASY Good music and good laughs highlighted the Student Union's Saturday Night Live. A talented singer-guitarist, Jacqui Singleton, opened the show followed by the main attraction, Willie Tyler with his sidekick, Lester. Jacqui Singleton, a 1977 Longwood graduate, was enthusiastically greeted by those who knew her abilities, and those who were unacquainted with Jacqui will not soon forget his remarkable performer. Jacqui sang several popular numbers by her favorite artists. The audience particularly enjoyed her rendition of "House at Pooh Corner." She readily gained her audience's respect with her quick, witty one-liners and her expressive, emotional voice. Yet, the crowd also liked her original compositions "Time and I" and her closing number "Love Alive". Both old and new friends appreciated her rhythmic "upside-down" guitar playing and beautiful voice. In the tradition of Edgar Bergen, Willie and tester entertained a receptive Saturday night crowd. Willie, with his "dummy" partner, Lester, kept the audience laughing and captivated them by his amazing ventriloquism. Lester was the big hit of the evening, so much so that few people were interested in watching Willie's lips to see if they were moving, which, incidentally, did not. They really began to see Lester as a person. From such TV spots as the Merv Griffin, Flip Wilson and Tonight shows, this comedy team honored Longwood with their presence. Lester, a cute, wooden, black "man" with a cap and wire glasses,took on the rowdy crowd and made even Willie look like the dummy as he made fun of the drunken mumbling,and played comic to Willie's straight man. Lester was always on top of the situation. For example, Lester asked Willie his interpretation of sex. The reply was, "Sex is a pain in the neck." Lester quickly responded, "Man you must be doin'something wrong!" This was just a small sample of the humor displayed during the performance, all of the lines were original material, except for one skit borrowed from Abbott and Costello: the classic "Who's on first, what's on second, and I don't know who's on third" routine. One of the most impressive moments of the evening was when Willie made one sound simultaneously with Lester making another sound. Willie and Lester's repertoire
not only included comedy, but also two original songs. Having a good voice and the art of ventriloquism makes Willie Tyler an exceptionally talented performer. The audience let Willie and tester know how much they enjoyed the act by honoring them with a standing ovation. No one wished to call it a night and have tester put in his black box.
Jazz Band Still Alive Although unheard from so far this semester, Longwood's Jazz Ensemble is still "alive and kickin'." The one year old group has just added new members for the 1980 year including a rhythm lead guitarist and a larger trumpet section. According to members of the band, the main element lacking in the band is trombonists. "There are people on campus who can play the parts but won't take the time to join and come to class. With another trombonist or two, we could really have a full band," remarked one member. Frank Coffey, the group's director, shows both desire and confidence in the group's performing this year. He is a former music student-jazz musician and presently is a music teacher in Appomattox county where he still performs in his own jazz band. Several members of the group have taken special interests in the welfare of the group and, without help from the music department, obtained an electric piano and several other instruments for its temporary use. The Jazz Ensemble hopes to perform several times this semester and have been asked to play such functions as the M.D. "Superdance," Spring weekend, and three other possible oncampus performances. They are also presently searching for a shorter name for the group and will appreciate any suggestions. These suggestions may be sent to: Tom Sullivan, Box 1014.

Board Responds Dear Editor: This letter is in response to Bill LeWarne's letter from your January 29 issue of THE ROTUNDA. Bill does bring out some very valid points in his letter about our rules here on campus: What is wrong with playing Monopoly in someone's room, whether it's a girl's or guy's room, after 10 p.m. on a week day? Why not return to the old sign in but not sign out system? Why do rules like visitation hours, exist? We are adults. Wherever you go in life, whatever you do, there are going to be restrictions, "rules," of some type. In our own world here at Longwood, one of our rules is that a male is not supposed to be in a female's room, and vice versa, after 10 p.m. on Monday through Thursday. Visitation hours are determined, or rather made, by the students themselves. Yes, there is a lot of "red tape" to go through to get changes in visitation hours. But until changes are made, present rules should be abided by. We may not like them, but, then again, who likes everything in life? The old sign in but not sign out system was a good one. The students here at Longwood are supposed to abide by the Honor Code, which did play a part in the old system. Returning to such a system is well worth consideration. The boards, Judicial, Legislative, and Residence, are made up of students which were

Those on the boards can be your friends, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers, or even your roommate! Some of us on the boards do believe the rules should be changed. Some of the rules are archaic and out of date, and it's time for these things to be considered now if they are to be different in the future. If you want things changed, come out and support SGA! Come to the meetings, write "Letters to the Editor," or write in questions in THE ROTUNDA'S column "Letters to the Board." Because, after all, it's your SGA! Linda Wheeler Chairman Residence Board
Harper Responds To Students in World Lit II: There was a mistake in marking the book for this class and eight books were marked incorrectly at $15.95 instead of $13.95. The amount printed on the invoice was misread. (A human mistake). We are Sorry for this Error. There was no intention to rip anyone off, and as soon as the mistake was called to our attention we called the professor to announce in class for the three persons that had purchased their books at the wrong price to bring the book back to the bookstore and we would gladly refund their two dollars. If there is ever any doubt as to the price of a textbook, our policy has always been—We will gladly
show the invoice on any book in question. The publishers set the prices on all textbooks—not the bookstore. These prices are shown on all invoices. Thank you, O.W. Harper Longwood Bookstore Dissatisfied Dear Editor, I have been reading this poorly written school newspaper for three years now and 1 finally just had to bring something to your attention. In the January 29, 1980 issue, I found more than 25 errors, not merely typographical errors. The errors consisted of grossly misspelled words, sentences, comma splices, names changed in the middle of an article ("Take A Ride On A Carousel", p. 2), very poorly used words, cliches that have no connection with the

subjects, almost false information ("powerful Salem College team," p. 6, col. 1) and tense changes (the fourth paragraph in "Ron Orr: Pushing to the Top," p. 7, contains six tense changes). That article also ends very poorly. I was an editor of my high school newspaper (James Monroe High School, Fredricksburg, VA.) and I went over several of the old issues of our high school paper and found less that five errors in twelve issues. Your one issue on January 29 contained at least 28! Is this what we should expect from a college publication? I feel that the students should not be subjected to such poor grammar and misspellings. This letter is not written in an air of anger, merely in disgust. I feel that a college publication should publish a more (Continued on Page 8)
Communication can be described as "an active interchange of thoughts, ideas or information." Hopefully, after the past week's Board of Visitors meetings and indepth study of the Management Team report that is what Longwood College can strive for "open communication on all levels." And there are many levels for communication to look at... The Board took a small step forward at a luncheon with students, last Thursday. Students were able to sit down and talk to the Board members on a one-to-one basis. Their big step towards bridging the communication gap comes in March when they meet with members of the Longwood College Council and other selected individuals to talk about the college and exchange "thoughts, ideas, and information" that will help to improve policies and procedures. The Board claims that they have always supported "open communication on all levels." Likewise, the administration claims that they have always exhibited good communication with the Board. We must stop and wonder if this is the communication of accurate, timely information as the Management report calls for or the "just enough correct information to get by" communications line. After observing two days of Board meetings, we can positively conclude that both methods are used. We should hope, however, that accurate and timely information will eventually win out. Now, we come down to a most important subject; that is student input and communication on the administrative level. When Board members ask about the amount of student participation and input on the housing meetings last week, Dean Heintz answered that there were very few students in attendance for these meetings. However, upon further questioning by the Board, the group was told that the Dean of Student and the Director of Housing doors were always open to the students for any type of suggestions or input. Faculty, Staff, and classified employees are also offered the same "open doors" policy at any level. This makes it sound like communication is a pretty simple thing. But is it really? Those attending the Board meeting will remember many instances where the Board seemed to know nothing. Members ask such questions as what is the College Council? Or why is Longwood described as a comprehensive school? And they received such answers as the Council was established seven years ago and Longwood has been described as a comprehensive school for years now. Sure, they had been given the information, but not enough of it... in other words, only what was necessary. So now . . . the Board has reaffirmed its stand on open communication . . . Let's swing the doors "wide-open" for understanding on "all levels."
return of the Shah for the captives' release. The main criticism of the administration's handling of the crisis had been that the United States did not act immediately, and take advantage of a chaotic first few days. However, it must be said that Americans have long let their sense of moral responsibility guide their actions in many international dealings. While acting morally is a virtuous thing to do, it often works to the detriment of America. In this world of power politics, countries do not play by the same rules or seek the same objectives. The Russians have clearly shown this in their meddlings in the internal affairs of countries in Africa, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf area. The Russian's blatant invasion of Afghanistan showed their insistence on controlling these areas. The motives behind the invasion could have been any number of things or a combination of elements. An increasing concern over their own growing moslem population may have prompted the Soviets to control a neighbor with a heavy moslem orientation. The Soviets clearly had an opportunity to move into a country where they already exercised a strong degree of control over the government in Kabul. However the Soviets decided that an even tighter control was necessary. It is easy to see that the Russians might well have perceived American foreign policy as being weak and chaotic. The Americans have long made grand pronouncements of wanting to curb Soviet influence and defend freedom throughout the world. The bad taste of Vietnam and a general attitude of apathy have contributed to such a weak policy. Therefore the Soviets did not expect a very strong American reaction to their invasion of Afghanistan. However it is important that hysteria not be the rule of the day. Hopefully recent world developments will be an awakening experience for the administration and the country. This awakening should include equipment support for the rebels in Afghanistan and renewed emphasis on conventional weapons, which has been done. Also America must reiterate its support for its allies throughout (Continued on Page 8)

Highlights Of The Management Report ByBILLLeWARNE The Dalton Management Team Report is a six-chapter manuscript that few students will ever read in full. Much of it represents, of course, a fairly mundane and routine report of findings and recommendations for the college, with a range of topics from the highest administrative post to the custodial staff of the dorms. However, many of the findings of the team deserve more than a quick glance or a raised eyebrow. The following article is a collection of "highlights" of sorts from the report. Many of these are simply humorous, and are merely examples of unnecessary actions or the phenomena of red tape. On the other hand, several findings reported here necessitate a student concern for our college's administrative handling. Many students will realize that some of the issues we have been concerned with, (housing, admissions standards, etc.) and inquired about, have been investigated by the Dalton team. The fact that their findings, in many cases, directly contradicts what we were told must cause at least a certain amount of distrust or a questioning attitude about how much our administration can mislead us before any corrective action is taken. Quoted material is directly from the report. Inserts or explanations are in parentheses. Budget "Budget management responsibilities at the college are unclear. Budget managers were sometimes operating for as much as a month, at the beginning of the year without knowing what their approved budget was, or what were the priorities of the administration." Housing (Longwood's rolling admissions pro'^ss permits the college to admit applicants until dormitory space is filled)
"However, this year students were admitted as late as August,...(resulting) in extreme overcrowding, with resultant breakdowns in the quality of resident hall life...The problem is continuing. Longwood was admitting students for the second semester when the team left the campus...However, the Director of Housing had no data on second semester admissions, and voiced concern that the dorms would remain overloaded. It is (also, generally accepted that student-athletes, particularly those admitted in the summer, were admitted and given dormitory rooms after it was clear that the dorms were overcrowded."
Intercollegiate Athletic Council "The council, headed by the President's Administrative Assistant establishes policies and makes operating decisions dealing with intercollegiate athletes, but its membership has undermined the credibility of its decisions...the Council recently dropped fencing and riding programs, despite success at the State and regional level, in order to redistribute funds to other programs, mainly basketball."
Student needs "There is a need to focus on student activities and programs. Such planning is essential, and should...deal with programs on critical issues such as...sexual relationships, as well as the normal social activities." Committee System "A number of (It should be sincerely hoped that minor committees exist. The the preceding is not to be taken Committee to Name Unnamed literally, or the management Buildings (is an example) of a team may not be as useful as we committee that rarely meets and thought.) has no apparent output."

Dr. Jordan Featured In Colloquium By CHERYL WBXOX This year's third Faculty Colloquim Lecture will be given by Dr. James William Jordan tomorrow night, February 13, at 7:30 in the Molnar Recital Hall, Wygal Building. The public is cordially invited to hear him discuss "The Role of Nonhuman Animals in the Worldview of Humans". Dr. Jordan, who is an assistant professor of anthropology, will discuss animals and their interrelationships with society. Dr. Jordan will make many interesting points, one of which is that "we tend to think that the particular animals which are today domesticated are the only animals ever domesticated by humans. This is disproven by drawing on field reports of anthropologists studying contemporary human cultures, we find many examples of "wild" animals tamed by humans: The Zebra (used to pull stage coaches), aligators, reindeer, skunks and rhinoceros." He will also point out that "we symbolize the role of animals in our society by assigning them names formally similar to human given names although they seldom are the exact names borne by humans."
guidelines...As a result, the Committee is questioning the President's authority to admit student-athletes outside the committee process." "College faculty members have openly questioned the academic quality of some students being admitted...(indications are) that some students are not able to perform in the class at the customary level..."
Grounds "Findings—'An 8-year old tractor used for lawn maintenance stays broken down and parts are hard to find." "Conclusion and Recommendation—'Replace 8-year old tractor." (It's concise and straightforward decisions like this that keeps this college going.)
Another idea Dr. Jordan will discuss is that during the five million years of human prehistory our ancestors adopted the patterns of the important "The animals around them and nodded (Self-explanatory) their human behaviors after performance and operation of the these patterns. Dr. Jordan is of Dining Hall needs review." the belief that humans attempted (Amen.) to appear and to behave in animal patterns in their own human society.

Austin Creates Weather Computer By CHERYL WILCOX Our world is now turning to using Computers for almost everything, even weather information. John Austin, an associate professor of Physical Science, has built a Digital Weather Computer which is used to gather local weather information. This weather computer is located on second floor Stevens just past the science museum and is available for daily student use. Austin built the computer from a Healthkit "which saved the science department approximately $200." The science department could not have afforded a Digital weather computer otherwise, according to Austin. The computer can give many different types of weather information. It can tell wind
J
speed, wind direction, wind chill factor and the peak wing gust and also the time the peak gust occurred. The machine also gives the present temperature both inside and outside. It also records the maximum and minimum temperature during a 24 hour period. Barometric pressure can also be recorded. The computer also records the rate of barometric pressure change and records rising and falling of pressure per hour. The Digital Weather Computer works 24 hours a day recording information which Austin records daily. The machine is hooked to two latern batteries to be used for power in case of an electric blackout. While running on battery power the visual reading lights will be out, but the machine will still record data to be recorded at a later date.

along with 440 ambassadors from other areas of Virginia to fly to an exciting seaport city located 5100 miles east of Farmville. The cost of the trip to the city, for the ambassadors, will be $625 which includes all bus and plane transportation. The ambassadors will be staying in a private home and participating in the daily routine of the host family for the first five days; thus expenses are limited. The remaining days of the trip are optional; each ambassador may choose to remain in a home situation with the same or a second host, or tour the host nation at his-her own expense, returning the last day for a farewell activity before departing for home. The destination of the exchange will not be announced until (Continued on Page 8)
His main topic was "Expectations of a college student." He stated that college students do not know what real challenges are because while a student is in college and living on campus, he or she is not really carrying the responsibilities of paying bills, such as VEPCO charges. The real challenges are met after graduation and in order to be successful, one must continue to strive for better Opportunities in life Dr. Alvin F. Anderson spoke on February 5 at 12:45 p.m. He was also sponsored by the AASA. Dr. Anderson is the Director of University Affairs at NASALuglty Research Center. He is the author of the book, The Challenge to Black Counseling In A Black College. He has also written several articles and publications which concern blacks and employment. During his speech, he stated that minority students are now looking or seeking into the top job openings which are Radio Broadcasting, Mass Communication, Program Computerizing, and other business fields. He also advised students to get into some type of COOP program to prepare them for Job opportunities and gain experience in their field of interest. An employer hires you according to your academic ability and background experiences. If you are an "A" student with no experience, you can be rejected as quickly ai a student with no background at all.

Gymnasts Break More Records: Demolish Tech By LISA SPENCER Longwood's dominance of the gymnastics scene continued last Friday with a record-breaking win over Virginia Tech. The winning score of 128.06 not only broke Longwood's team score record, but it is the highest team score earned in the state this year. This was an easy win over Tech who only scored 108.9. Also breaking records were Sharon Pillow and Kathy Idelson.
Sharon placed first in the allaround competition with a score of 34.05. Kathy was second with 33.75. Both of these scores broke the previous all-around record for the team. The Longwood Gymnasts proved their dominance by taking first place in all events except the uneven bars. Sharon Pillow placed first in vaulting with a score of 8.9. She also placed second in bars (8.35), balance beam (8.35), and floor
Longwood To Expand Athletic Program ByJANETUNSTALL A recommendation to expand the athletic program at longwood College was made by the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Council and received approval from President Willett. The expanded program will include tennis and cross-country teams for the men and junior varsity basketball and softball for the women. This would bring the college's total number of sports to 16: nine for women and seven for men. According to IAC chairman Dr. T.C. Dalton, these additions were made in response to student interest and have been under consideration for some time. He also stated that the addition of these teams and the completion of the new facilities (including five additional tennis courts and the $4.5 million Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Complex) would better equip the
college to meet the needs of the student body. With the addition of three new sports coupled with the resignation of Coaches Neal and Calla way, Longwood is seeking to hire coaches for wrestling, tennis, volleyball, and softball. Martin Schoepfer has been named head coach of the crosscountry program. Final decisions have not been made concerning the use of the college's athletic facilities. Barlow gym, which has been used for men's wrestling, will be used by an academic department next year. Therefore, the wrestlers will be moved into Her, French, or the new gym. Some of these decisions will be resolved at the next IAC meeting. Opinions concerning the use of the facilities should be communicated to Brenda Fettrow and Byron Bracey, student representatives of the IAC.

Kathy also took second place in vaulting (8.55) and third place on the uneven bars (8.15). Margie Fanton, returning to action after an injury, placed third in vaulting (8.4) and fourth in beam (7.45) and floor (8.2). Shelia Gould placed fourth in allaround competition (29.45) and tied for fourth place in vaulting with Jean Powers (8.1). This win over Tech boosts the team's record to 7-1, and their average team score to 124.1. According to Coach Ruth Budd, this places the team in excellent shape for the upcoming regional and state meets. The next meet for the team will be Saturday, Feb. 16, at Radford University.

Smith Repeats As Top Player Senior forward Maryjane Smith, who came through with 17 points in the second half to lead Ungwood to a 56-54 victory over Virginia State Tuesday night, has been named Ungwood College Player of the Week for the second time during the winter sports season. Not only did Smith rally the Lady Lancers in the second half, she also scored a field goal with one second remaining to provide the margin of victory and give herself 1,001 points for her career. Smith is only the second player in Longwood history tt score 1,000 points. Coach Carolyn Hodges had this to say about her senior standout:
"Maryjane came back after a very cold first half to score 17 of her 20 points as well as to sink the winning basket of the game. Her performance sparked the play of the entire team. It waa definitely a team effort and enthusiasm that produced the win, but it was also a superior individual performance by Maryjane." Longwood's leading scorer and rebounder for most of the season, Smith is a former three-sport standout at Appomattox High School. A native of Pamplin, she is a Physical Education major. Last semester she made the Dean's List. Maryjane is the daughter of Mrs. Anne C. Smith of Pamplin.

Three wrestlers were hurt, and the Lancers dropped four team matches in less than forty-eight hours. During the Elon match Friday night, Longwood had two wrestlers hurt and unable to wrestle the next day. Steve Shennett won by a pin at 150 lb., but the Lancers lost in the end by a 33-6 score. The next day Longwood dropped three more losses in a tri-match at Chowan College. Newport News Apprentice College downed the Lancer grapplers to the tune of 39-18. Longwood's points came by forfeits. Montgomery College of Maryland was the next opponent and Steve Shennett gained a 1-0 decision for Lcgwcod's only win. The final was 51-3. The other loss was to host Chowan, 57-0. Longwood gave away five forfeits (30 points), so only five matches were wrestled.

Carolyn Callaway: The Backbone Of The IAA By LISA SPENCER For those who don't know, IAA stands for the Intramural Athletic Association. Also, for those who don't know, the pillar behind the IAA is Ms. Carolyn Calloway. Ms. Callaway teaches two classes; volleyball and advanced life saving. Fortunately, these are her two favorite subjects. Also important to her is the IAA. Most of Ms. Callaway's day is spent making out entry blanks for intramural activities, keeping the intramural bulletin board upto-date, organizing intramural tournaments, attending meetings, and handling protests from those who have run afoul of the IAA. The purpose of the IAA is to promote and provide opportunities for participation in the intramural and recreational activities, to promote participation by members of the student body, and to stimulate school spirit. Unfortunately, according to Ms. Callaway, enthusiasm has diminished over the past few years. When Ms. Callaway began advising the IAA in 1969, there were only 4 teams that participated (one from each
class.) Now there are about 40 teams. The lack of managers the program's hampers Ms. Callaway efficiency, encourages any student who would volunteer to be a manager, or who would like to help with the program in some other way to contact her. Her office is in Tabb basement. "I want the students to see the value of the program," says Ms. Callaway. "Any suggestions or questions about the program can be handled by Intramural Athletic Association board that meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Students are welcome to attend these meetings." Ms. Callaway stresses that the IAA is based on what the students themselves want. New intramural sports are added each year. This semester's schedule includes: men's and women's basketball, innertube water polo, foul shooting contests, spades, tennis singles, ping pong, and the Superstars Competition. If more students don't participate in the intramural program, Ms. Callaway fears that it will be taken away. Students, the IAA is here for your benefit—make use of it.
ByHOKECURRIEAND DEBBIE NORTHERN Sometimes a single moment in the sporting event can transcend an entire season, even an entire career. At the conclusion of Tuesday night's game between women's teams from Longwood and Virginia State there was such a moment. Maryjane Smith (Pamplin) put up a jump shot with one second showing on the dock and the score tied 54-54. The ball hit the rim, bounced three times and fell through as time expired giving the Lady Lancers a 56-54 victory and also giving Smith 1,001 career points. The basket that was so much more than just a basket left the Longwood team and French Gymnasium crowd in a frenzy. Smith entered the game with 981 career points and that fact weighed heavily on her in the first half as she scored but three points, all from the foul line. The 5-10 senior forward attempted only one shot from the floor. As she would admit later, the pressure got to her. The Lady Lancers had played poorly and trailed Virginia State 32-23 at the half. As the second half opened the stage was set for Smith, Longwood's leading scorer (18.2 ppg.). With 15:46 remaining, Maryjane canned her first field goal. Then she was off to the races, sinking her next five field goals and helping Longwood take a 48-42 lead with 6:05 left to plav.
She didn't score again until one second remained when the game was on the line. She finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, hitting seven of 10 field goals attempts, and with her last second shot she became only the second player in Ix>ngwood history- to score more than 1,000 career points. Sue Rama (78) scored 1,459 career points. REALLY NERVOUS Smith admitted the pressure bothered her in the first half 'In the first half the pressure got to me," she said. "I just choked. But, once 1 made that first shot in second half I was alright." "Things had been building since Friday night when Coach Hodges (Longwood coach Carolyn Hodges) told me I had 981 points," Smith explained. "I had been thinking about tonight's game quite a bit." What was Smith thinking about as the last-second shot bounced around the rim? "I was trying to blow on the ball to make it go in and saying to myself Please Lord, let it go in.' I never wanted anything so much in my life." Smith, who also scored over 1,000 points in an illustrious career at Appomattox High School, was particularly glad the shot gave Longwood a muchneeded win. "We needed to win very badly," she said. "We have lost several close games recently. I hope this will help us turn things

The Board suggested that the word, "comprehensive," be defined in terms that are more understandable to the public. Comprehensive is defined a.c dedicated to Liberal Arts, Professional Training, and Cooperative Programs. The Board voted to continue to pursue and study long-range planning and policy development as an ongoing, continuous activity. They added that the topic should continue to be reviewed at least once a year.
