Well, fans in 1982, the word is out.

Not the "Big bands"! which will never come back) but jazz-rock or fusion is back in an updated role and selling more records than ever. Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears have, regretfully, disappeared from the chart but in their place is a new breed of jazz-rocker.

Grover Washington, Jr. released "Just the Two of Us" this summer and it created a tremendous success. Besides reviving a fantastic vocalist (Bill Withers) it allowed for some good jamming from Grover . . . and it went gold. Chuck Mangione is still reeling from the success of "Feels So Good" and Earth, Wind and Fire survive disco to remain the best band in America working on a funk-rock format.

Soviet Interests Spark Work

By JOHNEL BROWN "Yes, I suppose I'll be here forever," he chuckled as he told me of his fifteenth year teaching at Longwood. Dr. James Crowl decided in undergraduate school at Davis Elkins that he wanted to teach history. He later chose Soviet History as his major, and worked to earn his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Dr. Crowl is now a Farmville resident and very pleased with teaching and working with the students here at Longwood. test year, Dr. Crowl was a member of the inter-fraternity council, and this year he is actively involved with Sigma Phi Epsilon as their chapter advisor. He spoke highly of the members of the fraternity and you can always find a group of SPE's in Dr. Growl's office and holding informal rap sessions.

When I asked about his activities or interests outside of work here at tengwood, Dr. Crowl looked stunned as though there was no life outside of tengwood and searched the room for traces of life elsewhere.

Finally as though he'd stumbled into awakening, he remembered

The Rebirth of Fusion group Natural Bridge really know how exciting fusion can be.

Natural Bridge stormed through two tempestuous sets, breaking all the rules of what fusion rock ought to be. And they were awesome. After a couple years of country rock it is great to have fusion back. Those who missed Natural Bridge ought not to be scorned — but pitied.

Natural Bridge is riding on a brand new form that has been created in only the past few years. A style where the excitement of jazz meets the energy of rock 'n' roll. Surely if they had warmed up for Robbin Thompson, he would have been

In late December, Dr. Crowl produced a more climatic and significant piece of workmanship than playing bridge with the Cristo's. His efforts of over three years of research and refinement

manifested into his first published book, Angels in Stalins Paradise: Western Reporters in Soviet Russia 1917-1937 — a Case Study of Louis Fischer and Walter Duranty. A rather expendable title, I inquired to its meaning, and Dr. Crowl told me the story of two American reporters, who for paradoxical reasons, chose to create (Continued on Page 8)

died in the 60's and now is more alive than rock.

This new fusion style is less handcuffed than that of Chicago; it doesn't rely on a given type of sound. Gino Vanelli, for instance, handles fusion much differently than George Benson who is worlds away from Weather Report. In fact, there are so many different flavors that are available that the line between Jazz and Rock is more blurred than ever. In fact, ever since Miles Davis announced that he could form a better rock 'n' roll band than Hendrix (something which he has failed to do) jazz

But how refreshing it is when the results are positive. . . Zappa, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and Dizzy Gillespie. Even the Stones have flirted with jazz.

Natural Bridge is just the latest installment. Sometimes jazz-rock is just a watered down version of both but Natural Bridge proved to all that it is a dynamic and viable form. The one guy who shouted "Freebird" was met with no response except everyone wondering what cultural vacuum he had come out of... and if that was all he wanted why didn't he sit in his room and play "Freebird" until his ears fell off (which wouldn't take long). No one else is complaining and let's hope the current marriage of Jazz & Rock is a happy one and lasts a long time. Coming up: A three-part series: "Is Rock Art?"

Dear Joanie

Your Turn Business Majors Defended Editor, The Rotunda: This letter is in response to your highly questionable editor's turn concerning the choice of major fields that people pursue.

In the first place, I am not quite ready to accept your unfounded generalities about my major or the future plans I may wish to pursue as a result of that major.

Also, it needs to be pointed out to you that people succeed or fail not majors.

If I had to bet my municipal bonds which any business or Economics major knows are not very good investments, I'd say that there are a lot more career opportunities for accountants and other business majors than there are for English majors. Unless I'm highly misinformed I don't see any alternatives for you except as an English teacher or an author. Unless you are extremely good, which may not be the case, you will be an unpublished author; unpublished authors are a dime-a-dozen. They are the ones that "will be searching trash cans for food and the classified section of the newspaper." Upon finding this section of the paper, it would only further frustrate the already frustrated English major, as the

FREE

employment section is rather large for qualified accountants but is extremely small for English teachers and authors.

As a final point, I just want to say that this is not an attack on the editor, his staff, or the English department. I merely want the credibility of the business department defended.

When we graduate we are qualified and competent. But, indeed, it is true our search for a job will be a difficult one, just as it is for many college graduates these days.

Dallas Bradbury Editor's Note: The editor is sorry you missed the point of his column. If you go back and reread it you would find that it was not "an attack" on majors but the attitudes of students in any major. The misconceived notion that college will guarantee jobs and lucrative income is ridiculous. "When we graduate we are qualified and competent" is a pile of bologna.

You did strike gold though when you agreed ... "it is true our search for a job will be a difficult one." Yet students here are not using the placement services available to them.

—Movie Keview— Cinderella and Prince Vicious

By JOE JOHNSON Walt Disney is back. Cinderella in her gilded white gown and fragile glass slippers is once again filling the pre-pubescent dreams of little boys and girls. I could not review this movie.

What if the characters were stereotypic, unhumorous, trite even. Would I be able to face my own coveted youth, knowing I had been so easily bamboozled? Of course not, but there are some fascinating aspects to the tale just the same.

For instance, have you ever tried to figure out what decade Cinderella takes place in, for that matter what century? There were fairy godmothers in 1860 but not in 1862? It is timeless, right?, a fairytale set adrift in the 4th dimension. But what would happen if we plucked Cinderella out of the stream we go a-fishin in and set her right here in 1982.

Gave her a parrot green wraparound, Izod sweater and Agner shoes. Put her in a college somewhere on the east coast and let her have three very rotten

suite-mates, who wear leather jackets with zippers in the appropriate places. We would get a preppie Cinderella in Punk Rock Land.

to that party," she finally decides and slips into her father's old army jacket and jabs a safety pin through her cheek and starts walking.

Four white mice and apumpkir

Don't ask me why she's eating cornflakes for supper—this is a fairy tale—remember? her bright pink ribbon bouncing on her back. "Where are ya'U going to, you look absolutely ravishing." Maso, one of the three punk sisters (Maso, Sado and Fato) says, with steel studs gleaming eloquently on her jacket, "we're going to a wild punk party with Elvis Costello, Devo, the B-62's and the King of Punk Sid Vicious. "Ohh can I go too," squeals Cinderella with her ruby lipstick dripping.

Fato, who has just put the finishing touches on her facial (pin through the cheek and shaved eyebrows) says, "Hell no, you prissie preppie, you have to

Sid is overwhelmed. "What a great idea — colors, I can see it now, lime green, puke pink, yicky yellow — a new fad, I'll be at the top again Baby — where did you get all the crazy costumes?"

"At Leggetts."

"Is that anything like the Salvation Army?"

He does not wait for the reply but fits the pin back into her cheek and they are married by a local D.J.

Field Botany Class Offers New Insights Into Nature

by Joe Johnson "People tend to be frightened of the natural environment, because they're not familiar with it. If you keep your eyes open and your mouth shut nothing will happen that isn't expected." Dr. David Briel draws a breath and continues, "Of course what you wear is important — don't go through a poison ivy patch wearing a bikini."

And a bikini definitely wouldn't be the proper attire for the sixcredit Longwood Summer Field School in Botany directed by Dr. Breil. The field course offered for the first time at Longwood College, will be held during the second session of summer school from July 5 through August 6.

"We're hoping to get people who like watching National Geographic on the tube to realize that those types of exotic things are right here in their own backyard. They should go outside and look at these things for themselves.

"The Piedmont region forms a large resourceful area, not only for Virginia but elsewhere in the southeastern states. This summer school field school will let the people who are interested — and there are no prerequisites to this course (except curiosity) — to get down on their hands and Knees and examine these plants, work with them.

"The course will be studying different kinds of plant communities, using special tools and simple identification manuals. We will be doing such things as measureing growth, watching the different rates of change which occur between plant communities (succession) and identifying the common trees, ferns, herbs, and mosses that occur on the Piedmont.

The group discussed its objectives (1) to promote athletic events at Longwood, (2) to increase attendance at home games, and (3) to arouse school spirit in students.

Plans for the club include, promoting all sports by announcing games on the Longwood radio station (WUTA) and putting up signs around school, obtaining local high school bands to play at home games, sponsoring bus trips for students to big away games (men's basketball at Liberty Baptist, women's basketball at VAIAW State Tournament), getting a mascot (Lancer) for home games, and sitting together as a group to cheer at games.

The next meeting will be held Tuesday, February 9 (today) in Lancer Hall, Room 208. Officers will be elected. All students interestea are welcome to attend.

One of the reporters, Fischer, was a I>enin biographer, and held little respect for the American capitalistic society and wanted to create a pleasant, working picture of the Soviet Union for the American public. Duranty, on the other hand, was motivated by a less honorable incentive. He was being paid great sums of money by the Soviets.

"What sort of cover up?" I asked. The two reporters were denying rumours of the famines and losses of thousands of lives in Russia Dr. Crowl's interest in the et Union spawned the idea for his book. There'd never been a comparison or case study of the two reporter's, but after researching Or. Crowl found contrasts and similarities in the en. and thus the creation of Angels in Stalin's Paradise.

On a lighter note, I concluded the interview by asking Dr. Crowl, (although probably somewhat biased>how the History and Government Department of I/ongwood compared to those of other colleges and universities in Virginia. Longwood students, being primarily English or Business majors tend to overlook other strengths in the curriculum offered. The History and Government Department, according to Dr. Crowl compares favorable to those of other Virginia schools. He credited his colleagues and pointed out that many in the department have published or are working on books. Dr. Crowl is proud of the department, and of his latest accomplishment and his interest in the students of Longwood.
