Press Conference Introduces New Ideas

By DEBRA CUNNINGHAM Press Conference was held at 12:45 p.m. in the Gold Room on Thursday, September 25.

President Henry I. Willett, Jr., answered the questions presented by the legislative Board and from any students present.

President Willett explained that the State Council of Education has proposed that the John P. Wynne Campus School be closed within the next two years if it does not become self supporting. The state supports it now, along with a campus school at James Madison University which was also given the same mandate. The school serves as an important part of study for Elementary Education majors along with other majors that go to the school to observe.

One aid to keeping the Campus School open could be a program for the handicapped. Dr. S. John Davies, State Superintendent for Public Instruction, is meeting with College officials and area County Superintendents on this program.

Another subject submitted by the legislative Board was the question of day students having mailboxes on campus. They did have mailboxes here until two or three years ago, which was before the increased enrollment.

It seems, however, that these students were not picking up their mail promptly. If day students were to get these mailboxes, more boxes would have to be added: there are already at least two students to each and every mailbox.

In answer to question number three, the tree that was cut down

Dr. Peale, Dean Wells and President Willett answer questions at the Press Conference. in front of Lancer Hall would have cost $15,O0O-$20,0O0. They had tried to save it, but decided it was best to cut it down and not waste all of that money.

The French pool is being used for classes and recreational swimming at this time because the pool in Lancer Hall has a serious leak in a seam in the bottom. This leak is being fixed at this time. President Willett seemed to want to preserve the French pool as a back-up in case anything else should happen to the new pool. They are also considering renovating the French pool when they renovate French dormitory. Plans are to make it into an outdoor pool with a deck. They are also planning to start construction on French dorm second semester.

Answering other questions: The lights in the Lancer Hall

parking lot are up, but they cannot be used just yet.

Longwood has changed its narcotics policies. These sheets have been distributed to students, at this time. The new baseball field is not 100 per cent completed yet. Fall scrimmage games are planned to be played on the field, however. And, a new scoreboard has been ordered for the field.

Longwood is in its first stages of accreditation for the Therapeutic Recreation major. Longwood also has a two year accreditation for the Music and Art departments.

President Willett answered questions from the student body such as: are there any plans to use the old Farmville High School, and why have athletic fees gone up when admission fees have not. Longwood cannot afford to renovate the old Farm-

Process Beg ins To Find President

By JODI KERSEY The Board of Visitors at Longwood have begun the process of finding a new president. Eric Robinson, rector of the Board of Visitors, clarified the different committees which will work to help narrow the applications for presidency. In the by-laws of the Board of Visitors, a nominating committee is established from the membership of the Board. This will be the committee that will eventually recommend the final names for president to the entire Board. First, however, there has been a screening committee developed that will be in charge of reviewing approximately 200 applications. This screening committee will narrow the applications down to 5-15 finalists.

The nominating committee has appointed the following to the screening committee: from the board of visitors, Eric Robinson

and L.E. Andrews, both of Farmville.

From the faculty of the College, Dr. Charles Patterson, Board of Visitors Distinguished Professor of Education; LTC. John E. Carr, III, professor and chairman of the department of business and economics; Dr. Susan May, professor of English; and Dr. John Peale, associate professor of philosophy.

From the administration of the college, Dr. Carolyn Wells, vice president for academic affairs, and Dr. Ralph Hundley, director of Institutional Advancement.

From the classified employees of the College, Roy Hill, director of the physical plant, and Mrs. Constance H. Gills, purchases and stores supervisor.

From the student body, Miss Tammy Bird, chairman of legislative board, and Miss Sally Lowe, chairman of judicial board.

From the Ie-ngwood College

Foundation, Hunter C. Sledd, Jr., of Richmond, president of the Foundation, and a second person to be designated by Sledd.

From the Alumni Association, Mrs. Sandra Stallings, of Raleigh, N.C., national president of the association, and a second person to be designated by Mrs. Stallings.

Mr. Robinson said that he was personally gratified that everyone who has been asked to serve on the screening board has graciously accepted, fully aware of the time and effort that will have to be given.

The nominating committee will meet October 25, to draft an outline for the screening committee. The outline will consist of the procedure that is to be used with the general specifications they wish to be accomplished. After the meeting of the nominating committee, the screening committee will then have a meeting.

ville High School which was given to Longwood several years ago. Athletic fees have gone up by $160 in the past four years, while admission fees have only gone up by five dollars in the past four years. Scholarships come out of these fees, and coaches are

paid out of the athletic fees.

Another subject discussed was the fact that bottles have been thrown through the windows of Stubbs dorm. Tom Nanzig asked for anyone who had any information concerning these accidents to please come and tell him. There will be legal action taken against these people.

President Willett added that it the campus police caught them, "let's throw the book at them."

No flags have been put up at I.ancer Hall yet except for the one inside in the gym. It seems that there are a lot of problems with the flags that are already up around the college. They have to be replaced almost weekly, and they are expensive. A few flags have been stolen in the past also.

President Willett informed everyone of the dedication ceremony that will take place in Lancer Hall the Saturday of Oktoberfest which is October 25.

All are invited to attend, and Governor Mills Godwin will attend the service. The hall will be dedicated at that time.

Fall Retreat 1980

By BRENDA COLEMAN Five major areas of concern and many other topics were touched upon at the annual Faculty-Student-Staff Retreat held Sunday, Sept. 28 at the Longwood House. Though the weather outlook was bleak, the group discussions were lively and many recommendations were made that will aid the college and its students.

The groups were made up of students, staff members, faculty, and administrative members that discussed various subjects such as a new reconstruction of the Student Government Association, the possibility of a present Longwood student serving on the Board of Visitors, and proposals concerning open house hours. Other topics touched upon were intercollegiate athletic offerings and the capital outlay projects, as well as minor suggested topics and recommendations that were brought up by each individual group.

The Retreat began at 3 p.m. with a general meeting of all participants. Tammy Bird, Chairman of legislative Board, welcomed everyone and introduced President Willett, who commented on the proceedings and made announcements. Then the general group, which consisted of approximately 100 students, administration, and faculty, divided up into five individual committees. The topics were then discussed, questions asked and recommendations and proposals thrown out.

The main topic of discussion

was the restructuring of the Student Government Association.

A committee consisting of the Executive Council of the SGA and other appointed members has been working on a new proposed Student Government since last February and will bring a referendum before the student body on Nov. 10.

Another area of interest concerned a recommendation to allow a Ie-ngwood student to serve as a non-voting member of the Board of Visitors. This student would sit in on all Board meetings and have all the rights and responsibilities of a Board member except for the right to vote on proposed issues.

Other topics discussed were increases in open house hours and possibly an escort system.

This, too, is just a recommendation that must be studied and voted upon. The planned projects in the capital outlay (such as the renovation of French Dorm this January and the athletic offerings drew many recommendations that are to be tabulated by legislative Board for release at a later date.

After the group discussions, a picnic supper was served before everyone met again in a general meeting to review proposals and ask questions. The retreat adjourned at 6 p.m.

Tammy Bird stated that she was disappointed at the small turnout; however, "the discussion groups themselves were quality ones. I'm pleased with the summaries and recommendations and I hope more students will attend in the (Continued on Page 4)

Senior Spotlight

Your Turn Editor'i No tilt is almost hard to believe that in a year where there has been so much bad publicity about Ixmgwood, the Alumni Annual Fund goal would be set at 33 per cent higher than last year. And, it is even harder to believe that last week during the annual Alumni Phon-athon that goal of $20,000 was reached.

During the four day event in Richmond, alumni and students brought in over $21,000 in contributions to the college. This money will be used in such areas as music, art and scholarships.

There were alumni who did use the college's adverse publicity as an excuse not to give. However, the rise in donations did lift a lot of spirits around here. For that, we owe a special thanks to those in the College Foundation and Alumni Office. These people and the volunteers who phoned worked very hard to get across the many positive aspects of Longwood. (wvi Involved To the Student Body of I/jngwood: Oktoberfest is only four weeks away and now is the time to get involved. Although both color classes feel they have "lost" leaders of their own, it should be realized that both Reds and Greens have many spirited people who are involved and many more who haven't even been noticed yet.

The Freshman and Sophomore classes will add a lot of talent and vitality to the 'old veterans" (Juniors and Seniors). If each class pulls together in support of their color, this can be the best Oktoberfest ever. Geist encourages all who want to participate to get involved, there is a place for you. But most of all, we encourage each person to have fun, make new friends, and feel the spirit of happiness that surrounds our Oktoberfest celebration. It is a week end for you, the student body, to enjoy and make it what you want. Without you there can be no Oktoberfest, no matter what Geist says or docs Geist supports both color classes and hopes this year will bring cooperation and fun for everyone. GOOD LUCK!!

Pam Wagner (leist Oktoberfest Chairman Art! Up Front To the Editor: As chairman of Arts Up Front, the Oktoberfest art show, I would like to draw attention to a glaring omission evident in the last issue of The Rotunda. The article on Oktoberfest failed to mention the extensive activities planned by the art department for this schoolwide event. Art students are expending great amounts of time, energy and talent to make this year's art show, demonstrations, and Bedford Gallery exhibit the finest ever in the history of Oktoberfest. Their efforts should not be overlooked by the college newspaper either

before or after the event. On behalf of my fellow art students and the art faculty, I would appreciate your recognition of the art department's contribution to the success of Oktoberfest.

Please include us in future articles about this autumnal tradition.

Sincerely, Carol Cordes Chairman, Arts Up Front (Editor's Note: It was not the purpose of either the Rotunda or the Geist members interviewed to overlook the Arts Up Front.

The next issue of the Rotunda will be a preview of Oktoberfest and will include the Arts Up Front. Please accept our apologies.)

In Reply Dear puzzled and disappointed Blue and White and Green and White, In regard to your letter concerning the fairness of Geist, I would like to respond.

First of all, tapping someone for Oktoberfest or membership in Geist is not breaking a tradition.

Secondly, the people already committed to various jobs concerning Oktoberfest were not taken away by Geist but simply tapped for their worthiness and spirit shown.

Geist's aim was to recognize these people for their hard work and leadership abilities.

It is not a question of fairness on Geist's part. If people are worthy of a position they have the right to be acknowledged. Geist reserves this right as an organization.

It is not exercising power but recognition.

Oktoberfest is sponsored by Geist. The organization is the first to exercise support and enthusiasm for the event.

Being tapped for a part in Oktoberfest is an honor. Let's all work together to make this the best Oktoberfest ever!

Respectfully submitted.

Tammy Bird

Another Reply Dear Students, Maybe everybody didn't know it, but Oktoberfest is a Blue and White celebration.

Greens make it work, Reds make it work, and blues make it work, but no single group or individual is so important that it doesn't need the other.

And so when Geist taps somebody, they naturally tap those who have shown themselves spirited enough and capable enough to handle the position, regardless of what position they happen to hold in their class. The individual class is less important than the Oktoberfest celebration itself.

No component is, or should be, as important as the whole.

Looking on a tapped person as being "taken" by Geist is selfish, to say the least.

They're not being taken away, they're being given to more people. Now tell me that ain't what it's all about.

Sincerely, Bill I^Warne

By BRENDA COLEMAN "It's really weird how I became both an English and a Drama major," begins senior Nina Leffue. "When I first came here, I was an elementary education major. I heard about the tryouts for Our Town and since I had been in my high school's production of that same play, I decided to go to the auditions to try my luck. I got the part of Rebecca, the very same part I had in high school.

Anyway, I started doing more and more shows and I loved it. So I switched to the drama major and added on an English major also because I've always liked English. A double major hasn't been too hard, but it hasn't been a breeze either. I'm always busy it seems."

And busy is the way Nina has been for the past three years she has attended Longwood. At the present moment, she is attempting her first lighting design for the upcoming Barefoot in the Park. She was working on that design when this interview began and continued working throughout the entire talk. "I like the technical aspects of the theater as opposed to acting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this lighting design because it's the first one I've ever tried."

Nina is also the technical director for the Longwood Players. This position calls for Nina to organize the crews for all the four major plays, coordinate and work with these groups, and get them rolling at the beginning. In addition, Nina has to help with lighting for all functions that take place in Jarman. She is president of Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary dramatics fraternity, as well as past secretary for

A Musical Evening From PUBLIC AFFAIRS The Department of Music, under the direction of Dr. Louard E. Egbert, Jr., will present "An Evening of 20th Century Music" on Thursday, October 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the Wygal Building.

Members of the college's music faculty and student music majors will be featured in both vocal and instrumental selections. A variety of contemporary styles will be included in the program, by composers such as Norman Dello Joio, Richard Felciano,

Eric Satie, Francis Poulenc, Robert Baksa, and Benjamin Britten.

Several mixed media works will be featured, with dancers, electronic tape, and film slides.

Refreshments will be served during the evening.

Proceeds from the evening will go to the Emily Clark Music Scholarship Fund at Longwood.

Tickets for the event ($3.00 each) are available from the Public Affairs Office at Longwood, telephone 392-9371.

Longwood Players. She is in Dance Company and was recently tapped by Geist as the co-lighting crew chief for the Blue & Whites for Oktoberfest.

And if this isn't enough, Nina worked at the Virginia Museum Theater during second semester her sophomore year and has worked at Lost Colony during the summer.

"The biggest and best thing I've gotten out of Longwood has been my initial exposure to and interest for the theater. That interest will last me for the rest of my life. I'm really glad I literally stumbled into my major quite by accident."

Nina's future plans first include obtaining a position in a theater as an electrician. "Then I'll work my way up to an electrical assistant position, and eventually become the master electrician. However, this is not very hopeful because you have to be a super lighting person to be master elect. If I can't work in the theater, I'd like tc do something with my English major — not teaching though!"

Nina dislikes the lack of support the school seems to have for the drama department.

"Drama and the theater are very important parts of a school. I don't like the way other organizations on campus get everything they want. The drama department has to almost beg sometimes. I guess I'm mainly angry at the lack of support from the administration for the fine arts on this campus. There is a great need for a fine arts center, but of course we'll never get one.

I think the most ironic thing is that the drama department has to schedule around everyone else for show rehearsals and even shows sometimes in Jarman.

What's the drama department without a stage?"

CONGRATULATIONS ALL GREEKS ON A

Juniors Receive Rings

By BRENDA COLEMAN The Class of 1982 officially became Juniors this past Thursday night when they received their rings in the Junior Ring Ceremony. Rain threatened and the ceremony was forced to move from the Sunken Gardens to the Gold Room. However, the showers could not dampen the excitement and spirit of the juniors receiving their rings.

The night began with the juniors lining up with their little sisters and-or brothers. As they filed into the Gold Room, Tafara, BSU's folk team, sang "Joan of Arc." Ring committee Chairman Vicki Mathewson welcomed everyone and introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Eleanor Bobbitt, who spoke on the honor

and attributes of success and wished the Class of 1982 the very best.

Candles that each junior were given at the beginning of the ceremony were lit and filled the Gold Room with a soft glow as Tafara sang "Take the White of the Winter Snow." Then each junior exchanged his candle for his ring with his little brother or sister. Peals of delight rang out in the Gold Room as the juniors saw for the first time their rings that had been ordered last semester during April.

Many of the juniors realized with the coming of their rings that two of their years at I^ongwood were now behind them and graduation was not that far ahead any more.

SUCCESSFUL RUSH.

* * * Concert Reviews * * * Mai Function

Opening Day Approaches Old Jarman Auditorium will put on a new face when Neil Simon's popular comedy "Barefoot in the Park" opens the new season of the Longwood Players October 15-18. In addition to the regular four-night run of 8 p.m. performance, the Players will also have a special Saturday matinee performance at 2 p.m., October 18.

For both the evening performances and the new special Saturday matinee, Richard Gamble, director and designer for the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts, will transform Jarman Auditorium into a festive theatre space in which the audience will sit at tables on stage, be served food and drink, be entertained with pre-show music and fun, and watch a young cast of Longwood Players recreate the zany problems of some newly-weds who settle in an empty high-rise apartment in New York City.

The new Jarman stage will be set up in a cabaret style with the audience sitting at individual tables. Snack type goodies will be served at the tables and patrons may purchase either hot cider or coffee mocha. Since patrons will watch the entertainment from the stage, seating capacity for the play, will be limited to 252 persons for each performance.

For that reason, the audiences for all performances will be seated on a first-come, first serve basis with the doors to Jarman opening each evening at 7:15 p.m. and at 1:15 p.m. for the Saturday matineee.

Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" was first produced on Broadway in 1963 and starred Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley. The comedy was an instant hit and became the basis for a later television series. The plot deals with the problems of a newly-wed couple who have just moved into the top floor of a brownstone apartment sue flights up from the New York City streets. In addition to trying to make the traditional marital adjustments, the couple must contend with an apartment that has not a stick of furniture, a skylight that leaks, and an intruder who lives in an adjacent loft who must enter through their apartment in order to get to his own. The couple's marriage is

threatened when the husband refuses to walk barefoot in the park with his new wife. This would be a trifling affair except that it is bitter cold outside and there is snow on the ground in the park. This zany request, plus the difficulties in dealing with the unusual situation in their apartment, causes a rift in this young and rocky marriage that is amusing for audiences.

The cast for the Longwood Players' production of "Barefoot" is dotted with fresh new talent. Sherry Forbes, a freshman Dramatic Arts major, is the zany young wife, Corie Bratter, with freshman Drama major Jerry Dagenhart as Victor Velasco the intruder in the loft who has a fetish for gourmet foods. Myra Pierson plays Corie's mother and David Wood, a delivery man, round out the freshmen talent who will be making first appearances on the Jarman stage. They are joined by veteran actor Frank Creasy as Corie's husband, Paul, and Jeffrey Sledjeski as the telephone repairman.

Richard Gamble, who designed the show and is the technical director, will also direct the Players in this first production of the new season. He is assisted by student Stage Manager Lisa Swackhammer. Nina Leffue designed the lighting and Shelley Gluse, the costumes. Robert Marenick is the assistant stage manager, Suzanne Day is in charge of props, Laura Carroll, publicity, and Karen Hughson, make-up. The set crew includes Anne Omohundro, Tim Carter, and Wendy Sublett.

Longwood College students will be admitted free to the performances with their I.D. on a first-come, first serve basis.

General admission tickets will be $3 also on a first-come, first-serve basis. Early arrivals for the show will be entertained by a lively group of student talent in the cabaret-styled setting. Patrons are promised an evening of variety entertainment when they attend the Longwood Players production of Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" which opens October 15 and runs through October 18, featuring for the first time a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m.

ByMKEO'HARE Mai Function, a new waveinfluenced hard rock band from the D. C. suburbs, made its Farmville debut on Saturday, September 27, in the Red, White and Green rooms to a modest but appreciative crowd.

The band, which has been playing the prestigious Washington new wave circuit for several months, delivered three sets of excellent original material. Scott Jorgensen impressed many with his stunning guitar and piano playing, as well as his strong and earthy lead vocals. The other band members, John Moore on bass, Scott Goodrick on drums, and John Cummings III on keyboards and tambourine, delivered solid support. Songs such as 'Hold On," "Sound of Light," "Shadows," and "International Warfare" elicited enthusiasm for the previously unheard-of Mai Function.

A highlight of the show occurred when local celebrity Wade Clements took the stage to belt out a brassy blues number.

Clements, who engineered the group's appearance at I>ongwood, garnered a standing ovation for his performance.

There were a few drawbacks to this Sound Gallery event, though.

Jorgensen's facial contortions during heated guitar solos de-

tracted from his expert playing, and an ill-timed Led Zepplin spoof offended several audience members. However, these were minor drawbacks. All in all, the teen-aged members of Mai Function delivered a rousing, polished concert. This is definitely a group to watch for in the 1980s.

Gene Cotton

By CAROLE KEY Terrific . . . hilarious . . . talented! These are just a few of the adjectives to describe Gene Cotton Tuesday night, September 23. Over 100 Longwood students gathered in the Gold Room in I^nkford Building to listen to Gene Cotton sing and play acoustic guitar. There was a very informal atmosphere; people were gathered all around the stage on the floor while others hung back and enjoyed the more comfortable sofas. He played a variety of music. Cotton talked about two songs he played entitled "Me and the Elephant" and "Let Your Love Flow." These songs were his original compositions but, because of bad breaks with his record companies, became other artist's hits. He dedicated one of his songs to his wife entitled "Minnesota Woman" and a song to his two children entitled "Young People." The manner in which Cotton talked to the audience

Watercolors Exhibition

By NEIL SAWYER Twenty watercolors by American artist Gari Melchers went on display yesterday at the Lancaster Library Gallery.

Sponsored by the Art Department with cooperation from the Virginia Museum the exhibit consists of small vignettes from everyday life.

Melchers, who was born in Detroit in 1860, lived the last 16 years of his life in Virginia.

During his youth, he studied with his father, Julius, a sculptor and woodcarver. At age 17 he

went to Europe to study painting in Dusseldorf, then Paris. In 1884 he settled in Egmondam-See, a small Dutch fishing village.

Melchers remained in Europe, until the outbreak of World War I at which he moved to the United States. Melcher remained active until his death in 1932, being actively engaged in the planning of the Virginia Museum.

"Watercolors by Gari Melchers," will remain on view through October 17. Exhibit hours are 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1-5 p.m. on week days and 2-6 p.m.

Saturdays and Sundays.

made you feel close to him. He talked about his past and present family life and talked and joked about the types of problems that everyone has to deal with, such as parents, politics, and money.

If you missed seeing Gene Cotton, you truly missed an exceptional performance!

Ranger Unit

By TOM STANLEY Interested ROTC students and instructors met in Ruffner Wednesday, September 24, to discuss the possibility of developing an elite Ranger unit at Longwood. It would be composed of eight to ten cadets and the unit would participate in various training programs to be coordinated with the U. of R. Ranger unit.

Eligibility requirements would be stiff and standards would be high. Physical fitness tests and rigorous endurance exercises would be coupled with good leadership and adequate scholarship abilities to guarantee the eliteness of the unit.

Continued training and field exercises would be conducted to ready the Rangers for special assignments. Items discussed included: swimming tests, forced marches, jungle expert school, three-day field leadership exercises, marksmanship, survival, and scuba diving. All were discussed as possibilities in the preliminary planning stages; hopefully to be included in the program along with any activities the Ranger unit of The University of Richmond has already established.

It is hoped that the Ranger unit can move from the planning stage to the initiation stage before the end of the year. This would enable the unit to be an active unit next year.

Field Hockey Wins Two More

By CINDY DROPESKI I^ast Tuesday Ixmgwood played University of Virginia. UVa. has been a tough competitor for Ixmgwood. But last Tuesday Ixmgwood beat UVa. 54. The win was not an easy one; they went into double overtime. The score was tied at 4-4 at the end of regular play with scores by Nancy Johnson (1), Chris Meyer (1), and Julie Dayton (2). For the first overtime, the team played for 15 minutes (74 minute halves). There was no score so they went into penalty strokes.

Each team alternates five strokes with five different players. Longwood's Mary Milne scored on the first flick and Ten Davis held UVa. scoreless.

The team felt they played well against UVa. Julie Dayton said "Longwood played at Duke

returning. John Crosby, a senior, plays center field and is a captain of the team. John has batted .500 through the fall season. Jim Thacker, a senior right fielder, is the other captain and is batting .346 in the fall.

Other returning players having superb fall seasons are Chuck Hager, Richard Vaught, David MitcheU, Bill Wells and Mickey Roberts.

To support the returning members are several key freshmen. Two key freshmen are Sonny Bowlin and Tom Bottom.

Bowlin is an outfielder that has batted .411 during the fall.

Bottom, a short stop, has had a fine fall season both defensively and offensively.

With eight goals already this year, she has led Longwood to a 4-2-2 record (more wins than all of last season).
