Drivers Presents Proposals By JODI KERSEY Barry Driver, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, addressed the Board of Visitors on Thursday, March 5th concerning fraternity housing. About 5:20 p.m., Driver presented the Board with carefully investigated proposals for fraternity housing. The IFC is very concerned because Main Cunningham could never house the eight fraternities which are expected to be on campus by 1983. "The fraternities have never agreed to the Main Cunningham proposal by the Administration" said Driver. "Chapter room facilities would not be adequate for the fraternities in Main Cunningham. Also, renovation, which has not even been approved by state legislation, would not begin for two more years." One Board member had this reply during the Friday morning open session. "The guys in Main don't want to move out and the fraternities don't want to move in—why make everyone unhappy?" These are the four proposals presented by the IFC from their top priority to the lesser proposals: 1. Make Curry co-ed because there would be two extra rooms available for chapter rooms, and make Frazer all-female. 2. I«ave the fraternities in Frazer and use the ground floor rooms in Frazer. The ground floor rooms are 55x22 feet and a wall petition could make two more chapter rooms. 3. Keep the fraternities in Frazer and make chapter rooms out of suites. And 4. Keep the fraternities in Frazer and use the Curry ground floor rooms for chapter rooms. Driver said that Frazer and Curry have the possibility for eight chapter rooms by using some of the student lounges. The fraternities could use the same three floors in Frazer with twelve spaces left on each for independent students. The administration has to decide about housing by the end of this week. No formal stand was
taken by the Board, but their general action indicated favor in the IFC proposals. Driver concluded by saying that the Board was very cooperative and interested in the student needs. The IFC wished to give credit to two helpful advisors, Dr. Anthony Cristo and Dr. James Crowl. The fraternities also want to thank Sharon Harrup for her participation during the meeting. "We are all proud of Sharon," said Driver, "for giving us the chance to speak and to represent the students." Board members: Mr. L. E. Andrews, Mrs. William L. Anfin, Mrs. J. L Davidson, Miss Gay Kampfmueller, Mrs. Jesse R. Overstreet, Jr., Mr. M. Ralph Page, Mrs. Joshua Pretlow, Mr. Eric L. Robinson, Mr. Thomas D. Rust, Mr. John R. Smyth, and Mrs. E. A. West.

Harrup Represents Students By BRENDA COLEMAN "Both days went extremely well. I was very impressed with the Student Liaison meeting. It was the first time Board of Visitors members let the students do most of the talking and running of the meeting. I think that reflects a college-wide attitude change in board members and students. Our voice can be heard if we go through the proper channels. Sharon Harrup, president of the student body, voiced her ideals concerning her newest responsibility as a non-voting member of the Board of Visitors. She was present at the board's table at all open sessions during
the meetings on March 5 and 6 and had to remain nearby during the executive sessions so that she could join the board at the open meetings. "I also received all the handouts the Board members received—that was neat!" "The Board asked me about the new separation of Student Activities Fees and IAA. I told them I was behind it 100 per cent because I felt it reflected the attitude of the entire campus toward the IAA. There is so much more participation and now it will be adequately funded." Concerning fraternity housing—the IFC (InterFraternity Council) accomplished a lot more than
people thought. Students should commend Barry Driver and the IFC for their efforts. They gathered the information, worked hard, they really looked into the future. They projected that by 1983, 900 males will be on campus, showing a need for eight fraternities." "Barry pushed for all the males on campus—independents as well as fraternities. He showed a great deal of perserverence. He attended all open sessions and gave his speech to the board without notes. Because of his work, I hope the housing situation will be resolved according to what the students want."

^W+Miss OUT New Majors Available By JACQULINE BURTON The interest of Longwood students in the study of philosophy is on the rise. Beginning August 1, 1981, the College—as one means of meeting the growing and changing needs of its studentswill add philosophy to the list of those major disciplines currently offered. The Department of English and Philosophy applied to the State Council of Higher Education in November of 1978 for authorization to offer an undergraduate degree program in philosophy. In January of 1981, a statement of readiness to begin a major's program was submitted; and on Wednesday, March 4, the Council convened to give final approval to the College's request. The new major is the result of the combined efforts of Dr. William Frank, Professor of English; Dr. John Peale, Associate Professor of Philosophy; Dr. Helen B. Savage, Associate Professor of
Philosophy; and Dr. Carolyn Wells, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the College. Longwood has offered a minor in philosophy since the spring semester of 1978. A minor in philosophy requires the completion of twenty-one hours of of course work. Of the twenty-eight students presently pursuing a minor in philosophy, ten have expressed an interest in continuing in the major's program. The major requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree will bring about the addition of a number of new courses which will be listed in the 1981-82 college catalogue. These will include: Ancient History of Western Philosophy 210, Medieval and Renaissance History of Western Philosophy 211, Early Modern History of Western History 212, and Philosophy 213-History of Western Philosophy: Kant and the Nineteenth Century. These four courses will replace

Philosophy 215 and 216. Another new course is Philosophy 310Business Ethics. The department also hopes to add Philosophy of Social Science 367 and Philosophy 480— a Seminar in Philosophy. A total of thirty credit hours will be required for a major in philosophy, which will make this field attractive as a second major for some students. The philosophy program has several curricular aims in mind for those pursuing a major or minor. These aims are: the student's development of skills needed for critical examination of problems in philosophy; the student's development of a set of personal philosophies or beliefs; and a beneficial foundation to the student in his study of other disciplines requiring rational, analytical thought.

Nelhybel will lecture on Tuesday, March 10, at 1 p.m. The master classes (performers selected by audition) are scheduled for 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11. Visitors are welcome at all symposium events, including the rehearsal sessions scheduled for 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday, 4 p.m. on Wednesday, and 1 p.m. on Thursday.

Before coming to the U.S. in 1957, Nelhybel held several prestigious positions in Europe, including serving as musical director of Radio Free Europe in Munich, Germany. In this country, he has been active as composer, conductor, and
lecturer at universities throughout the U.S. and Canada His first composition, String Quartet No. 1, was published ir 1950. The list of his publishec works now totals some 20C compositions.

Longwood's Comtemporar; Music Symposium is an annue event which brings well-know composers to the campus fo working sessions with students Visiting composers have includeDaniel Pinkham, Samuel Adler Ned Rorem, Vincent Persicnetti Norman Dello Joio, and Ross Le< Finney.
By RONNIE BROWN On March 12 the Amason Twins will be performing in the Gold Room. You probably have never heard of Floyd and Boyd Amason, but their musical talent and especially their humorous lyrics have labeled them as the "Smothers Brothers" of gospel music. Floyd, who sings and plays bass fiddle, and Boyd, who sings and plays guitar, have been in the music scene since performing with "Sing Out South", which is an affiliate of "Up With People". After that they individually played in night clubs and coffeehouses on the East coast.
Boyd writes most of the songs and their individual musical backgrounds lend a versatile and unique approach to spread the Good News. The Twins have played in numerous crusades and churches. They have been seen by over 40,000 servicemen and college students. Floyd and Boyd have not only appeared in eight countries, but they performed for 25,000 people at the Tennessee Baptist Youth Evangelism Conference at Vanderbilt University. Now that you know who the Amason Twins are, I hope to see you at 8:00 p.m., admission is free.
Jim And Be Jae Captured Crowd By LISA KOWALIK Saturday night, Jim Ritchey and Bejae Fleming delighted an enthusiastic crowd in the coffeehouse with a three-hour folk concert. The duo captured the crowd with their crafty, sharp guitar work and laidback style and performed a variety of music — from bluegrass reggae, to top 40 banjo tunes, to plamtive blues songs. They also performed bluegrass, which they described as "I wish I had not been born and I wish you had never either songs." Jim and Bejae loosened up the crowd with jokes in between songs, many of which were
directed toward the Dukesman of Yale in the audience. One Dukesman provided additional entertainment with a little dance, while the crowd enthusiastically cheered him on. Throughout the show, the crowd snapped their fingers and clapped their hands in tune to the songs. Among the many original songs they sang were "Church Street Blues," which describes the sleazy, seamy side of Nashville and "Hardship Drag,"—a song about the economy which "used to be funny but isn't any more." In the latter part of the show, they sang the song which is their claim to fame "Tennessee Bottle", which was recorded by Kenny Rogers.

Atell As Toad The Mime By SUSAN BUTLIN
IRC Presents AmasonTwins
Page 3
Antoinette Atell, better known as "Toad the Mime" is presenting a free performance tonight in Jarman Auditorium. Atell is more than just Toad and the Mime; she is a lecturer, teacher, choreographer, dancer, actress, writer, and musician. She is definitely a professional. Toad was a regular on NBC-TV's Laugh-In and The Great American Laugh-Off in 1977. She has appeared in Funny Face with Red Skelton and has also worked with such comedians as Steve Martin and Chevy Chase. More recently, she has taught clowns of the Ringling Brothers, Barnun and Bailey Circus in the artistry of mime. Atell is known very well on the college circuit, with over 200 performances on college campuses across the country. She has an incredible ability to interact with her audience making them become part of her improvisations. This un-mimelike characteristic of interacting physically and verbally with the audience intensifies her customary routines of "trapped behind glass," robot man and marionette. Atell first became interested in mime while attending Chapman College. She wanted an art form
which could be understood no matter what nationality or language anyone spoke. Her career began on the streets of San Francisco, where you learn fast whether people like you or not. Atell takes her routine from
everyday life and particularly likes the college circuit because she can experiment with new material. Antoinette Atell lets you escape from this reality and step into the reality of Toad the Mime.

The Campus School students have created a diverse array of art work. Some of the more spectacular examples are the architectural designs for the 1990's, nature masks, papiermache' rocks and boulders, spontaneous weaving on tree branches, box sculpture and plastic carving. Mrs. Wall said that she is trying to develop their five senses and how they can be related to an artistic medium. "You have to make them reexperience what they already know; then motivate them to revisualize it in an artistic medium . . . visual awareness is what it's all about ' The exhibit is closed (locked), so anyone desiring to view it needs to stop at the front desk at the Library and request the key. Mrs. Wall is also planning a miniexhibit at the First National Bank in Farmville some time in March.

Your Turn' SI 1.305.05 For Muscular Dystrophy
a ao
U
a <
Dear Blue 'N' Whites, This weekend Longwood College raised $11,305.05 for Muscular Dystrophy through the Superdance. I would like to thank the entire Longwood Community for working together to far surpass our goal of $6,100.1 would especially like to thank the many dancers who hung in there, despite much pain, to complete the twenty hours. They did a fantastic job at gathering pledges which made their dancing especially worthwhile. The Steering Committee worked very
hard both prior to and during the dance to make sure things ran smoothly. I can honestly say that every person who participated in the Superdance gave 110 per cent. I am excited to see that Ixmgwood is composed of super people who are willing to give their all towards a single cause especially one as vital as the fight against M.D. We have much to be proud of! Thank you all for caring! Debra Spencer, 1981 Superdance Chairman
Rotunda Supported Mr. Edmonson: I feel your comments to The Rotunda staff in last week's edition were out of order and completely uncalled for. I have seen The Rotunda grow and mature the last four years that I have attended Longwood College. The quality of the articles has improved tremendously during this time span. The Rotunda, as well as all other student organized activities on this campus, is designed to teach us many skills that will enhance our future careers through what is so often referred to as The Learning Process. What kind of miraculous mental metamorphosis took place in your career that changed you from a student to a
"professional artist?" You obviously have never heard of, or have any conception of what the learning process is. People, especially students, learn from making mistakes...even professionals. The attitude you conveyed to the students of this institution shows me that you really ought to consider reevaluating your priorities. Your position here at Longwood is that of teacher first, and professional artist second. If you find that you strongly disagree with this point of view, you can take your professional exhibit and...well...take a professional tour; away from this institute of higher learning. Most Sincerely, Steve Miller
Senior Spotlight ByBRENDACOLEMAN "The major thing I try to do with my job is to get people to respect one another. You can do anything you want as long as you don't infringe upon the rights of those around you." This quote sums up for senior Neil Sullivan his attitude toward his work. The job he is referring to is Resident Supervisor of Main
Cunningham, a position Neil has held for two years. •If I didn't like what I was doing, I couldn't have done it. Money is secondary in this job—I do it for the satisfaction of helping people. Many people view the supervisor as an enforcer of rules and regulations. That is a small part of the overall job. The big part comes with solving

problems, stopping personality crashes, keeping the building straight, etc.—the list is infinite." "I don't know if I could wholeheartedly recommend this job to others. The decision was and is tough—you have to be dedicated to others as well as to yourself. Being resident supervisor is not a great job, but it's not awful either. It's primarily up to the individual person to decide." Even with all the responsibility the job of resident supervisor entails, Neil has remained active on campus. However, he says that he has not had the time to be as involved as he was before he became Resident Supervisor. He was the photographer for the Rotunda his freshman year and a member of Legislative Board. Neil was vice-chairman of the Student Government before he had to resign because of his job. He has been a resident assistant, a member of the Academics Policies Committee, and an active member of Judicial Board's restructuring committee. "I like the changes I've seen on campus since my freshman year. There has been a definite improvement in the quality of the students being admitted now. Dorm life has greatly improved. I think a lot of people have very short memories. Sign in—sign out is a big thing now—but compared to my freshman year, it's nothing. We had very short visitation hours. Things aren't perfect, but they are improving.''

"My biggest complaint is that everything is changing now that I'm graduating. I guess that is just the way it is working out. It has been a slow, gradual change with lots of people helping along the way. Things add up over the years and improvements occur." A business administration major from Arlington, Neil is prepared for the job market jungle he faces after graduation in May. "Maybe I'll be a househusband—that would be nice, you know.JUST KIDDING! Seriously, I'm getting married in May. I had interviews with the telephone company and a couple of businesses. I also have letters and resumes everywhere— something will turn up. I'm the type of person who would like to run my own business some day. I've got experience at Radio Shack and the telephone company—and how do you know what you would like to do until you experience.it?" "I came to Ixwigwood because my father recommended it to me—I wanted a small college. All schools have advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages Ixmgwood has is that we are small. We don't have the big-name faculty and equipment of large schools. HOWEVERhow many faculty at UVA know the names of their students? Profound, heh?" "Also, the administration is slowly coming to realize that if students are given the responsibility, they will handle it. Students will act more like adults if they are treated like adults. However, the students must be willing to take the punishments and rewards of those responsibilities." "Things here at I/ongwood, everything in life is what you make it.

Editor's Turn Longwood Campus was the scene of student participation this week. The fraternity proposals presented to the Board of Vistors verified the interest and concern that the Board has for student's wishes. Even though no formal action has been taken concerning housing, the students involved can be proud of a position well stated. It is good to know that the student voice is not completely ignored on campus. By careful articulation, the students defended their rights lor their organization with maturity. It is only reasonable that a situation can be best understood by the people most affected by it. The other major accomplishment by campus participation was the Superdance. Longwood collected more money for Muscular Dystrophy than VCU or Tech percentage-wise. This success proves that the student body can be a very productive force on campus through such a constructive activity. Hopefully, this surge of student interest will grow to give the student body a more noticeable position on the campus.

Honor Projects Near Completion By JOE JOHNSON "It takes a tremendous amount of student initiative and an intense interest in independent research — maybe that's why nobody graduated from Longwood with honors last year," said Dr. Webber, speaking of the longwood College Honors Program. The Honors Program, a six credit course, was inaugurated by the College in 1930 to enable students to study intensively a subject of their choice. Under this plan, the student is directed in creative research by an instructor who has specialized in the field and who acts as his sponsor. Dr. Flynn, Associate Professor of Art History and Chairman of the Honors committee, explained that there are numerous stages a paper must go through before it is finally accepted for Honors. First, the student who should be a junior or senior with at least a 3.0 GPA in his major and a 2.7 overall GPA, must choose a subject area and a faculty sponsor. With the sponsor's help, the student then decides on a topic for research. Once this decision is made, the Honors proposal, a two- or three-page document briefly outlining the research and giving a list of basic references, must be written and submitted to the Honors Committee for approval. Upon approval of the paper, the student enrolls in Honors 498 (Honors Program) and begins the actual work on the paper. The time spent on research usually lasts from one to two semesters with another semester devoted to completing the rough and final drafts of the paper and preparing for an oral examination on the work which is given by the Examining Committee. The Examining Committee consists of three persons who are specialists in the student's field or research. They administer an oral examination which is every bit as thorough as one given for a doctorate or masters degree. Or, as Dr. Webber put it, "They really grill you." The final stage is the official approval of the paper by the Honors Committee and making copies of the paper which will be available in Lancaster Library. This year there are four students working on Honors papers. They are all seniors and have chosen such subjects as varying as chickens and acrylic paints. They are all preparing for an oral examination which will be given some time this month or in April. Cheryl Adkins, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Adkins, is doing her paper on The Survival of Salmonella Typhimurium in Whole Chickens Cooked in a Slow Cooker. Her adviser is Professor E. J. McCreary from the Home Economics Department and her Honors representative is Dr. P. Barber. Cheryl, a native of Salisbury, Maryland, is majoring in home economics in which she hopes to earn a masters degree or
possibly her doctoral degree. Cheryl is currently in the experimental stage of her research. She is spreading the culture of salmonella over an uncooked chicken, cooking the chicken (with thermometer to accurately gauge temperature) and taking samples of it to check for growth of the organism. So far there has been no growth. Cheryl has her oral examination date set on April 24, 1981. She is anxious to "get it over with" but said that overall it was a "good experience." "A lot of problems pop up along the way, but I've learned a lot about general experimental and research techniques," she concluded. Kim Hannon, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hannon, is doing her paper on Advertising Within the Accounting Profession. Her advisor is Mr. Irby from the Business Department, and her Honors •representative is Dr. R. Webber. Kim, a native of McLean, Virginia, is majoring in business and has a minor in economics. Her proposal was approved May 11, 1980, and she has been researching the advertising (or lack of advertising) in the accounting profession ever since. She began by sending out 150 questionnaires to certified public accountants (CPA's) around Virginia. Ninety questionnaires were returned, which she assures is a good return percentage. Out of these ninety, only five accountants advertised. Kim is currently looking into the reasons behind this lack of advertising. She feels that there are two basic factors behind the phenomenon. One is that many accountants simply feel it is unprofessional. Second, is the fact that accountants already have enough business and they do not need to waste overhead on useless advertising. Kim plans to have her oral examination some time near the end of March or the beginning of April. Speaking of the Honors Program, she said, "It's one thing to do a term paper and another thing altogether to do an Honors paper because you can't go to a book — it's real research." Kelly Sanderson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Keith Sanderson, is doing her paper on the Diffusion Rates of Molecules Across the Gel. Her adviser is Dr. P. Barber from the Science Department and her Honors representative is Dr. R. Webber. Kelly, a resident of Winchester, Virginia, is majoring in chemistry and minoring in math. She plans to attend Iowa State University for graduate work and a doctorate in chemistry. Kelly is currently measuring the rate of diffusion of ions through a gel using various instruments supplied by the Science Department. Kelly pointed out that this research has never been attempted before. She said she got her idea from Robin Young who has done work with gel and crystal diffusion rates. "Originally," Kelly said, "this

Kelly has her oral examination on April 24, 1981. Pamela Mayo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Mayo, is doing her paper on Lue Osborne and Cordray Simmons — Pioneers in Acrylic Paints. Her adviser is Dr. E.L. Flynn from the Art Department, and her Honors representative is Dr. R. Sprague. Pamela, a resident of
Richmond, Virginia, is an art history major. She plans to do her graduate work at Hofstra University in I^ong Island. She has won two scholarships (History Department Scholarship and the Hargrett Scholarship) in this field already. Pamela is researching the rise of acrylic paints in America by studying the lines and works of Lue Osborne and Cordray Simmons. She explained that they worked primarily in the 1930's and recorded scenes and life in America as they saw it. Questioning the use of oils, which
was the "artistic" medium at that time, they developed a unique style which would not limit them as oils did. They started experimenting with synthetic resins such as Vinylite and Lucite, which laid the groundwork for the development of acrylics. Pamela has given a presentation at the South Eastern College Art Conference in Alabama and has also given a paper at the Sully Dinner at Ixwigwood College this fall. Her oral examination will be held on March 16, 1981
The Thrill Of Victory ByTAMARANASH Without a doubt, 1981 Duperdance for Muscular Dystrophy was a tremendous success due to all the support of longwood College. At 7:00 Friday evening 141 dancers hit the floor of the lower dining hall with every step of dance ever done on a dance floor. Every hour, the dancers had a 10 minute break which provided them with snacks, drinks, and a minute to catch their breath. At 1 a.m., they got their first meal break — a half hour to enjoy a pizza and a beer. Breakfast was served at 8 a.m. as the dancers

An exercise hour is going on to help students "tone-up" and "slimdown" for the coming spring and summertime months. "The girls are getting a chance to get to know one another better," says Mrs. Acers, head resident, "they get together to talk and exercise with an extra push behind them." The exercise hour was started this semester with an overwhelming attendance. In January, 50 students signed up. Now about 40 participate every week. Not only are the Wheeler residents involved, but, by wordof-mouth, students from all over campus participate. So far, the attendance has been all female, anyone is welcome. Lisa Polen, a resident of Wheeler, is the organizer of the exercise hour. She also keeps the morale high! During the hour anyone is free to make suggestions. Routine exercises such as jumping jacks, sit-ups and stretches are done to background music. The students add a variety with their own ideas. One different twist that has recently been tried is yoga. A typical exercise session begins with warm ups and stretches. Usa then begins a more structured routine. Here, the students are free to make their own suggestions. The group ends by running around campus for about seven minutes. Afterwards, unsweetened drinks are served. So, if you are looking for a positive and motivating way to lose that winterworn flab, consider the exercise group in Wheeler dormitory. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but you'll look great in time for bikini weather that is rapidly approaching!!
feasted on cereal, doughnuts, and orange juice and their last meal was at 11:50 a.m. They enjoyed lunch compliments of Hardee's Despite their fatigue, at least they didn't go hungry. Music was provided by M&M Productions through 9 p.m. From 9 -1 a.m. a mixer open to the student body was held with more music from Mike and Mitch and featuring the 7-14's. A dollar admission was charged and this money also went to the M D cause. Throughout the rest of the night, Pi Kappa Phi, SPE, AXP, Mike I^afoon, and Kurt Peters were responsible for providing the tunes for the dancers to move by. At 7:20 a.m. Saturday morning, Dr. Bobbitt gave a "disco break" and taught the dancers some group dances. The Dance Company also stopped by Saturday and provided the dancers with some dancing of another type. Dallas Bradbury was the announcer for the entire 20 hours. Each dancer was there because they had gotten sponsors for each hour they danced with the money going to M D. The top three money-raising couples were awarded prizes for their efforts and their efforts were highly commendable. Jane Covington
and David Mitchell were the top money raisers, raising over $950. They received 10-speed bikes. Nancy Willard and Billy Greer were second place with over $ti50. Their prizes were portable AMFM radios. Third place went to Randy Johnson and Valerie Turner who raised nearly $550 and received cameras. But no one's work is to be forgotten because all these dancers did themselves, and Longwood College, proud by raising $11,300. The amount is staggering as is the dedication and stamina of these dancers. Besides the dancers and the music makers, you cannot neglect the people responsible for the organization of the Superdance. Sponsored by the Student Union, Debra Spencer served as chairman. Karen Heizer was Registration Chairman. Food Co-chairmen were Sherry Carmony and Joyce Anderson and Decorating Chairman was Jane Froemel. There is no way these ladies can be complimented more than the acknowledgement of the Superdance's huge success Because of this success, the Superdance will return next year but the lasting glow of this year s Superdance will last on and on.
Movie Review By JOE JOHNSON Who done it? The overzealous film producer who'd stop at nothing for success, the adulterous director husband who didn't need a mental patient hampering his love life, or maybe the buxom Hollywood babe whose epitaph will someday read, "Screw Scotland Yard"? Who knows? Miss Maple (Angela I^ansbury) does and she leads to viewer on a merry chase to discover the murderer's identity in Guy Hamilton's filming of Agatha Christie's, "The Mirror Crack'd." As all Agatha Christie fans know, Miss Marple is a top-notch sleuth residing in a quaint rustic village somewhere in England (preferably near a murder). Her tools of detection are her razor sharp senses and her knowledge of local gossip which she prefers to call "a hearty interest in human nature." These, along with her sidekick — nephew, Inspector Craddock (Edward Fox),allow her to solve problems which baffle other intellects. The audience is given a chance to solve the puzzle along with Miss Marple. The clues are all there — the picture on the wall, the spilled drink, the fake notes and yes the sinister phone calls
to the producer and the arsenic in the coffee. Although the clues don't do much good, it's kind of fun matching wits with his super sleuth. In "The Mirror Crack'd" Elizabeth Taylor makes her comeback debut as an actress m*aking her comeback d*«but and she does it pretty darn Mood...for an actress making her comeback debut. Tony Curtis plays a go-get'em Hollywood producer who manages to win the hatred of the local Vicar by announcing that the leading ladies are chosen by whomever they sleep with. Rock Hudson is the distraught director who is trying to film Mary, Queen of Scots, with two actresses who could give a shark an identity crisis. As can be expected, the plot takes enough twists and turns to make even Charo look indecent The final tally on bodies idead ones, that is) runs to three, which is about average for an Agatha Christie mystery. The ending, however, dwindles into sickening sentiment. Elizabeth Taylor is laid out like some kind of latter day Socrates and Rock Hudson actually (you better sit down for this) cries. But, overall, the mo', le is highly enjoyable. 1 just wish I'd have figured it out before Miss Maiple did

Baseball: Best Start Ever; 4-0 Mark In One Week From Sports Info Longwood baseball coach Buddy Bolding predicted this year's team could be his best and after four wins in four games the Lancer baseball team is bearing out its coach's predictions. Longwood swept Guilford Monday 6-2, 3-2, beat North Carolina Wesleyan 11-7 in 10 innings Friday and then battered St. Paul's 31-3 Sunday to run its record to 4-0, the best start in I,ongwood's four-year baseball history. The lancers opened their home slate Monday hosting Virginia Wesleyan for a pair of contests and will take a break until Saturday when University of District of Columbia visits. Sunday, West Virginia Tech pays a visit for two contests. "We have made some mistakes so far, but we're learning," said Bolding. "We have come through in the clutch, getting the key hits and making the key plays. Several of the teams we have beaten had good seasons a year ago, so we feel good about things right now." While Sunday's triumph over St. Paul's was a laugher Ixmgwood had to play well to take tough wins in its first three games. Outstanding pitching by veterans Davis Mitchell and Richard Vaught plus timely hitting and defense by leftfielder Bruce Morgan helped Ixmgwood sweep a talented Guilford team. Mitchell and Vaught pitched complete games. In the opener Mitchell allowed eight hits, no walks and struck out five. Vaught came back with a seven-hitter in the nightcap, walking one and
fanning seven. Morgan had a two-run homer in the opener and two sensational diving catches in left field. One of Morgan's defensive gems came in the fifth inning when Guilford had runners on second and third. According to Bolding, Morgan's catch prevented a sure triple and two Guilford runs. Sonny Bolton had two hits and three RBI's for the day with a triple. Against NC Wesleyan, Ixmgwood had to rally from a 7-4 deficit in the top of the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Four more I oncers crossed the plate in the top of the 10th to ice the victory. Second baseman David Rumburg and rightfielder Jim Thacker were the big guns for Ixmgwood. Rumburg had a tworun homer in the ninth and a tworun single in the 10th while Thacker had three RBI's with a double and a triple. Thacker also drove in two runs in the 10th. Morgan, a junior, hit his second homer in three games and drove in two runs as Longwood pounded out 11 hits off five Wesleyan pitchers. Donnie Mowbray pitched well in relief and David Mitchell came on in the ninth to pick up his second win of the season. The Lancers got grand slam homers from Mitchell and Eddie Burnette while compiling 22 hits against St. Paul's Sunday. Bolton had three hits and four RBI's, Tim Ixwery had a homer and two RBI's and John Crosby stole five bases. Longwood also benefitted from 13 St. Paul's effors. Bill Catron and Don Cahoon combined to limit St. Paul's to five hits.

Farrar Sets Record Named Player Of The Week
By PAM UPDIKE
Sports Profile By MARK KARL SEGAL There are two kinds of athletes in the eyes of the spectator: winners and losers. Sitting in the bleachers watching the Ivongwood wrestlers win only three matches this year didn't appear too appealing. What is not realized is that our wrestlers are not recruited, they are not given scholarships, and they are wrestling for an under-funded young program coached by junior college coach Steve Nelson. Nelson compiled nationally ranked teams while at Chowan. But here he hasn't done so well. He has changed the program, but he has to change his philosophy a little bit. This is a small program and he has to treat it as such," tells Daniel Joseph Richard. "Next year he is totally changing the program. It hit him that he wasn't at Chowan anymore with all of those monsters," said the 20-year-old wrestler. Danny and the rest of Longwood's wrestlers really weren't ready for Nelson to come into the program. The wrestlers here represent a different class of athletics. They work real hard but have a difficult time putting together wins against teams of goliaths that are making a life out of wrestling. Danny was born in the Ryukan Islands at Okinawa. His father works for the U.S. Government. He moved to Falls Church, Va., where he attended Falls Church High School. He wrestled and played football for four years. When he came to college he had no idea he would wrestle. But longwood had a young team three years ago when he was a freshman. So young in fact they were still in the organizational phases of becoming a team. So Danny went out for the team and wrestled at 167 pounds. The team won one match that year and Danny had a 5-10 record. Not so bad for someone who had no idea
