The carnival music and Geist klowns of Thursday night brought the first official signs that Oktoberfest is on its way. This was the scene for the tapping of the 1979 Oktoberfest court.

For those freshmen present who still did not fully understand the Oktoberfest spirit and for those upperclassmen who wanted to relive last year's festivals, a slide show was presented.

The Oktoberfest Klowns are an important part of the fall weekend. Tryouts were held, under the direction of Geist member, Cindy Morris. She introduced their sponsor, Ms. Rita Howe before announcing the 22 klowns. Chosen were — Janie Carson, Lisa Cromer, Lynn Cook.

Valerie Narango, Jan Jennings.

Your Turn< Schedule Conflicts Dear Editor:

Another Point Of View

S ao U

So many things seem so new I liked your smile the first time I saw you.

But I often wonder what you see when you look at me.

Do you see just my limp as I walk by, or can you take the time to look inside?

Can you see me as a potential friend?

Or just as a means to reach an end?

Do you see something unique in me or am I just another face on the way to your popularity?

I hope this poem wasn't wrong to write But these questions filled my head tonight It's hard being classified as a handicapped again, a broken ego is hard to mend I know I don't have a face that would make you look twice.

But I do think you're awfully nice.

G 'omnientaryShape Dp, You're Missing Out It has become apparent, perhaps because of the overcrowding or integration of class levels in the dormitories, that far too many students at 1-ongwood College lack a basic goal of education—tolerance.

Our nation was conceived for the essential purpose of religious toleration. With educated mind and cmpathetic heart, our American society learned toleration on all levels race, religion, and sex. As an integral part of such ;i society, we. as college students, educated minds and leaders of tomorrow, need to take a second look at our impressions of one another and ourselves However trivial it may seem as YOU now skim over this article, realize that no one plays their stereo at the same volume as you. not everyone studies at the same time, no one dresses alike, and not everyone parties only on the

week ends. In short, no one is just like you, nor does anyone care to be. How boring it would be if regulation succeeded in designing character. Quiet hour is not a military state of existence in the dormitories, but rather, a suggested time for concerned consideration for one's neighbors. This consideration should remain in our thoughts at all times.

College today is s"lf-contained pressure. Job anxiety has brought us here and competition will force us to achieve. The interval between this time is where we stand now. This is the prime time for self realization.

Therefore, we must realize that intolerance breeds prejudice and prejudice destroys achievement.

We must all develop an earnest concern for our neighbors if we can expect a successful college experience Marsha Booth

We are writing to express our dissatisfaction and frustration with the process for scheduling activities at l.ongwood College.

The immediate cause of our discontent is a conflict which arose in scheduling Robert Short's program, The Gospel According to "Peanuts," which Was sponsored by the InterReligious Council. This year the IRC wanted to have a special program in September to call attention to the importance of religious activities on campus.

We thought the "Peanuts" program would be especially attractive.

We followed the procedures for scheduling such an event meticulously. The first step in the process is to submit a request to the Calendar Committee. This is done through the Dean of Students' Office, and must be turned in by mid-March. Ours was in two days before the deadline. The next step is to arrange a place. We had some difficulty with this: in trying to reserve two campus auditoriums iWygal and Bedford) we were told that they could not be scheduled that far in advance — or at least if they were professors would have priority if they wanted to have a class there, so you could be "bumped." Finally, we reserved the Red, White, and Green Rooms at I^ankford. A third step which is indirectly related but no less necessary is to submit a budget request to the Student Activity Fees Committee so that the program can be paid for. We submitted our budget according to procedure, but learned in mid-June that the Student Activity Fees Committee had been disbanded and our budget was arbitrarily set at $285 for the year i one-half payable each semester). Of obligation to Mr. Short was *£>0.00. We went ahead with our plans after being assured that an appeal would be in order at the beginning of school.

In August we printed and diseminated our initial publicity, including the date, time, and place. During the first week of school the college calendar was

•Editor's TurnIt isn't often that lively debate can happen between Administration and students, but last Tuesday's Press Conference was one of those times.

Debate concerning the dining hall was a highlight. As waiters and waitresses expressed their concern over the long working hours due to the lack of student workers, fellow students applauded.

It is times like this that make the Administration take notice to student needs.

The monthly press conferences are designed for students to hear the views of the Administration. Students are encouraged to attend, let their opinions be heard, and hopefully resolve any problems they may have.

Attendance is often low and, more often than not, the same people are there.

No one can really say they could not attend because of a class. Press conferences are held at a time when no classes are in progress.

Take an active part in campus life. Not just by being in a club or a sporting event, but by attending a press conference and letting your opinions be known.

PEJ

In the article on "Hiner — a Building For All Ages" the position of Miss Winnie V. (not Vee) Hiner was incorrectly described. She was a former Treasurer of Longwood, retiring in 1956.

The building was also named for Miss Mary Clay Hiner, a sister, who was professor of English at Longwood.

finally published, listing our program as the only major activity scheduled on Thursday, September 20. We continued our publicity efforts, including an article in the Rotunda. The same day that came out we received a call from the I^nkford Building saying that our program had been moved from the Red, White and Green Rooms to the Gold Room. We discovered that the Gold Room could not be properly darkened for an audio-visual presentation at 7 p.m. However, we left that matter unresolved because of the next road block which appeared.

This final blow came by way of a phone call from the Geist advisor telling us that Oktoberfest Tapping in Jarman Auditorium was scheduled in direct conflict with our program.

This was discovered by reading the Rotunda article. Geist was very accommodating and offered to try to move the time of their program in order to relieve the conflict. Unfortunately, this was not possible because of other conflicts in the use of Jarman.

The Geist program was not published on the college calendar because they had turned in their calendar request after the deadline last March. However, they were still given their preferred date, with the IRC being the unwitting loser. The net result was that neither organization was aware of the potential conflict until ten days before the date. The Calendar Committee evidently did not notice the conflict, or if it did, did not consider it their responsibility to notify the organizations involved.

When we brought this conflict to the Dean of Students' attention we were told that we could not expect to have an exclusive date for our program. We realize that it is unrealistic for us or any campus organization to expect an exclusive date, and perhaps it is unrealistic for us to expect that other groups might avoid schedule conflicts even out of courtesy (though one might hope that would still happen on a campus this size), yet, when an organization is planning a major event which has campus-wide appeal and requires a sizeable financial commitment, it is totally self-defeating to schedule it directly against another activity with similar appeal. It would seem, in fact, that avoiding such conflicts is the whole purpose of a scheduling process.

Why follow any guidelines at all unless they insure an orderly system of planning campus events and a means of communication among organizations? At the very least, smaller organizations need some system by which they can be aware of the scheduling of large, traditional campus-wide events and try to avoid conflicts by their own planning. We would certainly have had the sense not to have planned our program against Oktoberfest tapping had we known when it was.

In a nutshell, though the IRC followed scheduling procedures to the letter, we found ourselves one week before the program scheduled against a campus-wide activity which has a long tradition at the school, with a room different than the room we had reserved and not suited for our program, with a budget hanging on an appeal procedure, and with publicity money already (Continued on Page 7)

Always, Forever.., Preppie!

By SHARON JANOVICH Top sider shoes, tasseled loafers, pure wool socks, no socks, baggy red, lime, yellow or khaki pants, button down blouses of pink, yellow or blue, tweed jackets, striped Oxfords, tennis or Izod hats, Izod shirts, Deans and Fair Isle sweaters, and monogrammed EVERYTHING! This list could carry on FOREVER, but before we may proceed, let us interrogate this list a bit further.

Do these articles of clothing sound familiar to you? Perhaps you are, or are not, PREPPIE!!!

One might be forced to wonder where the mode of Preppie dressing originated from. ..The Atlantic Monthly observes this enigma as "a catch-all epithet to take the place of words used in

previous years, such as: privileged, aristocrat and high society." However, in this day and age, where the average American strives to "get ahead," one does not necessarily have to be wealthy to be referred to as a prep." The preppie style of dressing has caught on like wildfire, and whereas it was at one time a bit more unusual to observe this mode of dressing, it has found its' way into our society, and seems to be here to stay. The Atlantic Monthly went on to proclaim that "In this society, preppies pass for an upper class," and although their preppiness is newly acclaimed, it gives one the feeling of getting ahead. These types of preps are called "self-made preps."

Although they have not been

Series To Begin In October

By KIM CAVE Beginning with the 1979-80 school session, Ix)ngwood College will have a brand new yearly lecture series. It will be in memory of one of the most prestigious and beloved teachers IiOngwood has ever had, Dr. Francis Butler Simkins.

Dr. Simkins, a native of Edgefield, South Carolina, came to Longwood as a history professor in 1934 after receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia University. His special interest was in Southern social, political, and religious history.

He published various textbooks on the high school level, some of which are still used today. Dr. Simkins* keen interest in his students and his work made him a favorite member of the faculty upon which he served until his death in 1966.

The first lecture in the Simkins Series will take place October 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford. It will feature Dr. Helen F. McHugh, Professor in the Department of Consumer Sciences and Housing and Dean of the College of Home Economics at Colorado State University. Her lecture is entitled "Economy and Family: Challenge for the 80's."

Dr. McHugh is one of the most outstanding persons in the field of Home Economics today. She received her B.S. and M.S. at the University of Missouri and her Ph.D. from Iowa State University, where she also served as graduate assistant for two years. Dr. McHugh has served as a Home Economics professor at many universities such as Oregon State, Indiana State, and University of Texas.

She was also Dean of the College of Home Economics at the University of Delaware before coming to assume her present position at Colorado State.

Dr. McHugh*s credits continue in the writing field. She has published in many of the nation's top Home Economics journals, among them, "Journal of Consumer Affairs" and 'Journal of Home Economics". Some of her professional affiliations include the American Economic Association, American Agricultural Economics Association, Association for Consumer Research, and National Council for Family Relations. She has also received the Citation of Merit from the University of Missouri Alumni Association and has been elected to the honorary fraternities, Sigma Xi and Gamma Sigma Delta.

The Simkins lecture Series Committee has scheduled two more lectures for this year in April. They will feature speakers from the fields of History and Chemistry. In the future, the lectures will continue to rotate among the departments, hopefully attracting people who are the best in their respective fields. This is a fitting tribute to a man whose name is synonymous with excellence, Dr. Francis Butler Simkins.

preppie since infancy, they have adopted it as a way of life, and would acclaim themselves to be loyal preppies.

On the other hand, however, there is another category of preppiness, referred to as "hereditary preppiness," which speaks for itself. The hereditary prep will have a preppie parent or two, and will more than likely attend the same prep school that at lease one parent attended. The Atlantic Monthly, however, reports that an immensely large average of children refuse to attend a school merely because of parental attendance these days.

Instead, even hereditary preppies are exercising more freedom and independence.

Thus, the self-made preppie, (contrary to former years) far outnumbers the hereditary prep.

One might wonder as to the whereabouts of the prep schools in the nation. The Atlantic Monthly reports that there are fifteen of them in the U.S.; Andover, Middlesex, St. Pauls, Lawrenceville, Groton, Kent, Exter, St. Mark, St. George, Taft.

Brooks, Choate, Deerfield, Milton, and Hotchkiss. In order for a school to be referred to as a prep school, The Atlantic Monthly devised that it must 111 arrange for a certain economic diversity among students, (2) nurture traditions, (3) serve a gratuitous social purpose, (4) be relatively isolated from the world, and (5i foster unremitting competition. At a true prep school, the preppie comes from a preppie 'background".

The first occasion that an alligator shirt was sold was in 1955. Unbelievably, it was sold for nine dollars, in contrast to the approximately twenty dollar price tag seen now. The designer of the alligator shirt. Rent I<aCostc, was a french tennis player. After selling them to American businessmen, who

Man And Wife: Problem Solvers

By DOUG STROBEL Imagine for a moment marriage, area coordinator, and head resident. This may conjure up in one's mind images of love, college, and dormitories. This description precisely fits Elaine and T.C. Jones, who are area coordinator and head resident of Cox dormitory respectively.

However, one may ask, how does a working, married couple function at a college where their unwed peers are the predominate group? Quite simply, Elaine and T.C. will tell you. Their jobs have made them grow closer together.

For Elaine, the acquisition of the position of area coordinator for Tabb, French, and Frazer dormitories has been of immeasurable benefit in fulfilling her need to be part of college life at IiOngwood. She will readily tell anyone of her love for her work.

Elaine's job includes everything from being a listening ear for student problems to implementing administrative policies at the dorm level. Seeing Elaine walking in the halls of her dorms is an everyday occurrence. It is a pivotal part of her job that she acts as a link between the administration and the students. She will tell you that the bridge between students and staff is one that constantly needs working upon. Elaine wants to stress that she is there for the students with their concerns whenever they need her I C. has held the position of

While being head resident, T.C continues to work towards his degree in social work and has some hopes of one day becoming a counselor. T.C. admits he has enjoyed certain economic and scholastic benefits since becoming head resident He now has a more regimented life which corresponds to a stable s-tudv environment

Hockey Team Has Demanding Week

By DF.BBIK NORTHERN During a physically demanding week, the Lancer Hockey team opened their season against Lynchburg College last Tuesday.

The varsity game ended a scoreless tie in what Coach Bette Harris terms a typical first gann Dr. Harris felt Lynchburg played a strong support system.

Longwood's problem lay in cutting for the ball. Dr. Harris said. In her opinion Wanda Petersen and Kirn (iarber played well defensively in the predominately defensive game.

The Lancer J.V. on the other hand, showed a united, powerful force blasting I.ynchburg 8-0.

Scoring were Jean Wakelyn with four, .loan Matson, Barb Backer, B .1 Casey and Mary King with one.

campus. They were so supportive and encouraging that we decided this was the best alternative. In 30 conflict-free minutes we had made arrangements for putting it on the college calendar, finding an excellent room for the presentation, and for assuming the financial obligation We realized and felt very badly that in making this decision many I<ongwood students would miss the opportunity of hearing Mr. Short. However, we wore so angry and frustrated because ol the red-tape and road blocks cited above we felt our decision was justified. If we felt we were the only victims of the scheduling process here we would have handled this matter privately, but we suspect actually we art quite sure that we arc not the only group that has suffered from the process described above. We think there ought to be a better way, and we hope other groups will join us in bringing pressure and making suggestions for needed improvements.

Sincerely yours.
