THE ROTUNDA VOL. LVII

LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA

TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1982

College Graduates Finding Fewer Jobs Many students probably read the article in the Richmond News Leader whose headline read College Seniors Face Tightest Job Market in Years. Niki Fallis, Director of Placement at Longwood confirms that statement. The majority of predictions indicate that the job market is tight, competition is keen, and most hiring occurs in the fields of engineering, computer science, and accounting.

School officials do see a shortage of teachers in certain disciplines. An ASCUS survey indicated a shortage of teachers in mathematics, physics, special education, and the sciences.

At Longwood last year there were more vacancies in math, 4-7, English, Biology and Business Education than we had graduates willing to relocate to fill them.

School divisions throughout the state continue to recruit at longwood College. Last year we had 49 school systems recruiting here. liOngwood continues to have an excellent reputation as a teacher preparatory institution, and has been building that reputation for over 100 years.

The number of government business and industry employers coming to the Ix>ngwood College campus to recruit is much smaller. This number will hopefully increase as the "new Longwood College image" and the reputation as a comprehensive institution reaches throughout the state.

Since employers will not come to LC t students must prepare to go to the employers. Plans for career goals must begin in the freshman year, and seniors must develop job skill strategies in order to compete. Last year 50 seminars were held in the area of career information - job search skills and 350 students attended; an average of 7 students per seminar.

Many students do not realize the frustration they will experience in the job market.

"Finding a job is a job in itself" and our graduates must be prepared to face that reality. The job market is flooded with job seekers due to the poor economy and the cut back in government employment. There will be even more graduates in the job market because they are not applying to graduate school due to reduction and insecurity regarding financial assistance.

Employers are being more selective than ever. They look at grade point averages, college activities, ability to communicate and over-all high achievers, said Ms. Fallis The future cannot be predicted with certainty. The U.S. Department of Labor states that there is the likelihood that colleges will be turning out more graduates than there will be job openings in occupations requiring a college degree.

Last year our graduates fared well. Over 85 per cent of the 1981 graduates were placed; either in

a job, in the military or in furthering their education. Ms. Fallis invites interested students to study the Annual Placement Report and its statistics and make an effort to talk with her, establish a placement file and attend all seminars.

Northwestern's 36th Annual Endicott Report stated that 1982 graduates will experience high starting salaries than graduates of the past; an increase of 9.2 per cent. Salaries for Bachelor's degree engineers will average $25,000 an 11.4 per cent increase over 1981; computer science $22,000, 6.8 per cent increase; chemistry $21,492, 10.4 per cent increase; math-statistics $21,516, 8.8 per cent increase; accounting $18,600, 817 per cent increase; economics-finance $17,000, 7.4 per cent increase; business administration $17,000, 6.1 per cent increase; liberal arts $15,000, 8.3 per cent increase.

"Personally, I feel that these salaries were taken from the highest level of the scale", said Mrs. Fallis. Comparing the 1981 Longwood College Graduates, 119 of the 430 graduates responded to the salary question. The majority of the business administration graduates were earning between $9,000 to $15,000; the majority of the teaching majors were earning $9,000 to $13,000 and arts and sciences between $9,000 to $13,000. Our chemistry graduates were earning $9,000 to $13,000.

Without a doubt the salaries will increase for 1982.

News Briefs

By BILL BRENT NATION In Washington, D.C., the Congressional Budget Office reports if Congress adheres to all of the President's 1983 fiscal budget, that there will be a deficit of $121 billion, almost $30 billion more than Reagan claims. January's consumer prices rose 0.3 per cent, the smallest since July 1980.

Last week on Capitol Hill, Sen. Harrison A. Williams testified before the Senate on alleged wrongdoing. The Senate votes this week to expel him or not. Alan Cranston, Minority Whip, is seeking a Senate censure instead of expulsion. If censured Williams may resign or serve out his term.

In Houston last week, an early morning blaze gutted the Westchase Hilton Hotel killing 10 and injuring 30. Officials say the night clerk shut off the alarm because it irritated him.

Investigators are speculating that de-icing procedures may have been carried out wrong which led to false instrument readings as cause of Air Florida's 737 that rammed the 14th Street Bridge in Washington, D. C, killing 78 people.

WORLD Poland's General Wojciech Jaruzelski, the martial law ruler is increasing political, military and economic ties with the Kremlin and its Bloc countries. This comes in response to any change of the socialist system in Poland.

South Africa's trade relations with the U. S. have been loosened by President Reagan bringing disapproval from many civil rights groups. This will allow American companies to sell non-military goods to South Africa's military and police forces.

According to Pentagon documents inadvertently released last week, the Soviet Union is rapidly developing satellite lasers that may threaten America's satellites that are used for guiding missiles, navigating, spying and communications.

King Hussein of Jordon says with "a new atmosphere" of acceptance in the U. S. he wants to buy America's weapons "in the near future." Defense Secretary Casper W. Weinberger did not commit the President's intention on the sale.

These letters are assigned by the National Interfraternity Conference, this organization presides nationally while the Panheller Council and Interfraternity Council rule at individual institutions. Most fraternities and sororities claim colors and a mascot to accompany the letters.

These social and service groups have raised millions of dollars for libraries, medical research and charity but it's their other activities that have authorities, parents, psychologists, sociologists and administrators up in arms. In the 60's the era of protest brought students together while the memberships in fraternities and sororities plummeted. But the

late 70's and 80's have ignited membership to record levels.

While memberships are skyrocketing, hazing and other behavior are being scrutinized by many.

Men and women who seek membership often study history, traditions and customs of their brothers and sisters. They also sing anthems, learn secret handshakes, calls and the life history of their superiors in their respective chapter that they are pledging in. While pledging they often engage in service projects benefitting the community. This takes quite a chunk of time out of the day that includes study and class time. The last week of their pledge period is called "hell week". This week brings out the (Continued on Page 8)

Public Attitude Shed's Different Light on Greeks

By BILL BRENT Fraternities and sororities are extremely popular on college campuses across the nation, and Longwood is no exception.

Activities that surround them and occur because of them have aroused nationwide concern.

These issues have raised eyebrows nationally and locally.

But before looking across the nation and Ixwigwood here is a little blast from there past to allow for better understanding.

Social and service organizations and clubs were the seexl of the Greek system. They have been around almost as long as colleges themselves.

Fraternities and sororities are assigned two or three letters from the Greek alphabet, ranging from Alpha to Zeta. Some of the more attractive combinations

Despite Age, Older Student Fits In

By MARK SEGAL There was the article in National Lampoon once about the middle aged man, who, in his supposed mid-life-crisis put a stopper on his nearing insanity and went back to his alma mater to re-pledge his fraternity.

But then there is the story of Jim Waterfield, which is a fitting name because he has lived at the beach most of his life. Jim is the kind of guy, that at 37, would not be combing the beach in Bermuda shorts with a metal detector. Instead he is the man that would sport a surfboard and leather skin from the years of

I was getting bored with it," he tells.

He had been taking night classes at Tidewater Community College and went to summer school last summer at the University of Virginia. He was considering a return to U. VA. but when he found out he would have to furnish his own housing he ruled it out. Virginia Tech was also a consideration but when he saw how far he had to walk from his dorm to his classes he said: "I'm too old to be walking that far every day."

His decision to come back to school full time was not an easy

"The students were more militant then (in tin- 60's)...one (lav they just up and had a riot in tin- cafeteria." sunning and would probably use a metal detector to hunt down old kegs to exchange for the deposit.

When he is not in his dorm room at Longwood he lives between Artie and Pacific Avenues at 24th Street in Virginia Beach.

Wants To Get His Degree He has lived at the beach most of his life but after high school left for Campbell University in North Carolina. He never received a degree from Campbell and left there in 1964. For the past fifteen years he has been working for the city of Virginia Beach.

Before he left to come to I.tingwood he had obtained a supervisory position as a Senior Engineering Technician. This was not enough for Jim, (restlessness is a symptom of the mid-life-crisis syndrome) and he decided he wanted to get his degree.

"It was the same old grind and

one. He could not work his job and attend classes at Old Dominion University. This was going to have to be a full time commitment. "I knew I had to have a residential school like this," he says referring to Longwood. But it was not as simple as that. "The people on the job said I was a fool...they just freaked," he says. But his parents were very supportive.

"The rest of the kids all got their degrees but me. My parents just said to go ahead and do it."

When he got to Longwood he says that he feels that the students were more receptive to him being a student than some members of the administration.

"I think they don't know what to do when they're confronted with the non-traditional student", he says. "I feel (they) have misinterpreted my motives."

Then he saw all of the girls— "I didn't bargain for thaLAt U.

Va. there are older women at the graduate school and I thought longwood had one. But they don't."

He prefers women closer to his own age and had a date with a clerk in a local retail store. He recalls returning from the date at 2:30 a.m. and getting lectured about the evils of late night enebriation by a desk clerk.

Expected To Be Role Model He was told that he was not setting an example for the younger men at Longwood. But Jim reminded her that his concerns were with being a student and not a role model — but not in such gentle terms.

"If there is a keg of beer to be drunk in Frazer I'm going to get to it," he tells, sounding every bit of the beach bum he really is. And he is just another student.

"I don't feel like an alien here."

He should not — he attended rush parties and met several of the guys in Sigma Phi Epsilon.

"They're just great," but he had no idea he would be accepted as a member: "I had no intent of doing that (becoming a member)...I went to the rush party and never thought I'd get a bid...but I did."

But then can you see a grown man going into a grocery store dressed like a seven year old girl as a fraternity stunt?

Jim's roommate, Bill Stafford, also a Sigma Phi Epsilon brother, came back second semester to find what could be someone's father as his roommate. — "I didn't know how to handle it at first," says Stafford. "But now I am used to it and wouldn't trade him for anything."

Student Attitudes Changed Jim recalls that college life, even in the early 60's was more radical than it is now.

"The students were more

militant then. We were tired of eating mystery meat and one day they just up and had a riot in the cafeteria."

But even back in 1962 the visitation rules at a conservative southern school were comparable to Longwood's now. "The visitation then was like it is here now," says Waterfield with a disappointed scowl on his brow.

"The students were militant, then the administration had to relax the rules some...I think the students here should exercise their vote more."

He attributes his youthful attitude to the fact that he has lived at the beach most of his life.

"I reckon living in that neighborhood (the heart of the summer tourist district) has a'lot to do with it"...he looks as if he might be in love with the place then says: "I've lived other places than Virginia Beach but I always go back there."

Once, when he was a teenager, he took off for New Mexico. Just some spur of the moment thing.

But, like his finishing college when he is approaching 40, Jim feels that the humdrum of daily life is not for him — well, at least not some of the time. "You never know if you're going to have a heart attack or a stroke...You just have to take chances."

This committee is comprised of student leaders and students from various clubs, organizations, and majors. This varied over-all campus distribution of committee members will bring in more representational observations and input from the student body.

The total number of nominations turned in by campus-wide student participation will be screened down to 15 faculty names. These faculty members will then be researched, evaluated, and voted upon to decide on a final three names. The winner is selected by secret ballot and kept confidential until the commencement exercises.

Dr. Barber To Deliver Faculty Colloquium Lecture From PUBLIC AFFAIRS •Oxygen, the Tamed Toxin" will be the topic of this year's third Faculty Colloquium Lecture at Ixmgwood College.

Dr. Patrick Barber, associate professor of chemistry at Longwood, will discuss the properties and newly discovered forms of oxygen, and its possible

role in cancer, on Wednesday evening, March 10, at 7:30 in the Wygal Building. The lecture is open to the public free of charge.

The role of oxygen in cancer is one of Dr. Barber's primary research interests. In a paper presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society last spring, he advanced a hypothesis in which "cancer is conceived as a structural and equilibrium abnormality of the cell in which

gems out of all the coal.

Dr. Young of the Longwood Drama Department thinks any work of art succeeds if each time you hear (or see) the work, you can find something new.

Aesthetically, there are not many rock songs in which a different perception can be gained each

oxygen plays a central role."

Dr. Barber received the Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Cornell University and held a postdoctoral fellowship in the department of chemistry at Duke University where he studied the properties of liquid crystals. He has also done research in electric batteries for NASA and in radioactive contamination of painted ship surfaces for the Navy.

This past summer, he was one of about 40 college faculty selected to participate in a research program sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education and the Navy. He wrote data analysis and general utility computer programs for the Fatigue and Fracture Branch of the Metals Division at the Naval Station in Annapolis.

Among his many and varied

time and certainly none (with the possible exception of Buddy Holly) before the Beatles.

With the first British invasion rock changes at revolutionary speed. What the Beatles so often capture is what James Joyce would call "epiphany," that moment of pure essence of situation. They do not get cheap ("Pac-Man Fever") yet a song like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," a bit trite in the post-sexual revolution '80's, still is as sincere as ever and not melodramatic.

Leonard Bernstein writes of the Beatles: "To this day, three bars of their music makes me feel alive with joy."

One of the best songwriters around, who has written many memorable songs, is Paul Simon.

His lyrics are cynical yet often they impart a sense of experience. His approach is a little low-key for my taste yet his songs are so well-crafted, the harmonies so well done that he seldom pleases the listener but often satisfied him. Take an ear feast on Bridge Over Troubled Water (the album) and you'll see what I mean.

What Paul Simon and The Beatles have also done is withstood the test of time. Even other musical artists, like Frank Sinatra who has openly been hostile to rock, end up recording and reworking their songs.

Along the Beatles' path of being influenced by contemporary art music (the work of the eminent German composer Karlheinz

Stockhausen influenced the Beatles a great amount) and classical techniques (such as the string quartet backing in "Eleanor Rigby") came the socalled classical rock groups — the best of which was probably Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Not only did ELP have talent to burn (even critics who called their works pretentious agree that they are, musically, technically flawless), but they also changed much of our thinking about rock and classical music. Keith Emerson brought the synthesizer to new heights and changed the perception that the keyboardist was a sit-down and pacific player and, due to his (Continued on Page 8)

Once Upon A Mattress Reviewed

By JOYCE SWEET The Longwood College production of Once Upon a Mattress presented February 2527 was outstanding.

Theatregoers, who did not attend this production, missed a delightful show.

Richard Gamble, director and designer, created an ingenious set that was reminiscent of storybook pop-ups.

The costumes, lights, and other technical aspects added greatly to the overall effect of the production. The silhouette scene at the beginning of the show was particularly effective.

Power Play will be performing for this Friday's mixer at 9 p.m. in the Lower Dining Hall for $2.00. The next night Snuff will be in the Lower Dining Hall for a Saturday Night Live. The time and price are the same.

The cast of Once Upon a Mattress was fantastic. Many of these college students gave performances of almost professional quality. Ginny Munoz, with her strong voice and fine acting brought the role of

Princess Winnifred alive. Queen Aggravain, portrayed by Iisa Magill, came across with the proper combination of dominance and humor. Mark Winecoff, as Prince Dauntless, was absolutely charming with his little boy mannerisms. Ross Conner, who played King Sextimus, showed an exceptional acting talent and a great sense of comedy and timing. This young man was able to enchant the audience with his excellent pantomime.

Other fine performances were turned in by Jeff Thomas, Joanne Mosca, George Hughes, and Syd I/nig.

The chorus members were superior in their supporting roles.

The entire production of Once Upon a Mattress was theatrical entertainment at its best. For a few hours last Friday evening, this reviewer believed in fairy tales.

Art Faculty Member Receives I* arc base Award From PUBLIC AFFAIRS Randall W. Edmonson, of the Longwood College art faculty, is recipient of a $500 purchase award for painting at the MidAmerica Biennial, a national juried competition sponsored by the Owensboro (KY) Museum of Fine Art. Edmonson's award-winning acrylic painting, "Broken Rainbow," is a hard-edged geometric abstract completed in 1981. The juror for the exhibition was Abram I^rner, director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D. C. The exhibition will open at the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art on April 4 and continue through May 30.

The Mid-America Biennial has several objectives: to provide a showcase in Middle America for work created by artists presently living and working in this country, to acquire a significant permanent collection of art by contemporary American artists for the Owensboro Museum, and to encourage private and corporate collectors to purchase art by these artists.

Edmonson has taught painting, design, and ceramics at longwood since 1979. He has exhibited in numerous regional and national competitions, including the Marietta (Ohio) National, Arizona National Painting Competition, Watercolor U.S.A., Arkansas National Exhibition, 30th Annual Mid-States Exhibition, Virginia Watercolor Society Juried Exhibition, and the Northern California Painting Competition.

Editor's Turn

Your Turn Reader Warns of Lying

The Rotunda

At the February 16th press conference Dallas Bradbury delivered a speech that was supposed to be the beginning of negotiations between the Inter Fraternity Council and the administration. Dr. Greenwood promised Mr. Bradbury (president of the IFC) that a decision would be made to clarify a misaligned arbitrary (law?) that prohibited fraternities from consuming alcoholic beverages in their chapter rooms. The negotiations were between the IFC and Dr. Salters.

In a copy of Mr. Bradbury's speech, (The Rotunda, February 23; IFC Questions Administration'sTactics on Alcohol Prohibition) the IFC contends that chapter rooms are under the same visitation rights as private rooms and that these rooms are rented by the college to the fraternities and sororities at a cost of $6,000 per year.

The editorial staff reinforces the contention that if the administration views these rooms as part of the private sector then the occupants are being denied the rights that other private rooms are afforded.

Approximately two weeks later, at a Student Senate meeting, the senate voted unanimously to allow drinking in the chapter rooms at anytime. This legislation was enacted as a result of a proposal that Dr. Salters tried to force upon the Greeks which said that drinking could only be done if the Greek organization had registered the event as a party with the dormitory prior to the event. Under this legislation the fraternities would only be allowed two "parties" per month. In addition, the resident supervisors of the dormities that the chapter rooms are housed would have the ultimate authority to decide whether or not Greeks could even drink at all.

As of last Friday Dr. Salters vetoed the student senate bill and has crushed any hopes of Greeks breaking the childish mold Longwood forms around them.

I urge Dr. Greenwood to take immediate action against this injustice, or our senate's voice will be silenced and worthless.

By CINDY CORELL Five members of the Longwood College Dance Company will go to Stafford County tomorrow and Thursday to teach dance in four elementary schools. On Friday, twelve members will go to two more elementary schools in Fredericksburg. This past Friday, another twelve members went to Richmond for this purpose. "We teach the kids dance and we're trying to get dance in the elementary

schools," said company member Dean Lakey. "We're trying to get some early exposure now."

The Dance Company tried to do at least four of these residencies a year. At the schools, their visits are called "dance day."

The members of the group must audition at the beginning of their first semester. The audition is evaluated by the company officers and Dr. Betty Bowman, director of Dance Company.

They meet twice a week for regular class practices and then two more times outside of class.

Each member must perform in at least one dance number in the semesterly concert.

consequences.

Just think, if you just go ahead and admit to yourself that you are caught, give your correct name. Violation of visitation only results in a letter of warning for a first offense and up to probation and loss of privileges for repeated offenses. Lying or academic dishonesty as stated in the handbook, results in suspension or dismissal.

What I am trying to say in all of this is, if you are guilty of breaking any rules, telling the truth won't get you in as much trouble as lying will.

The Voice of Experience

Racists Attitudes Attacked By Resident Editor, The Rotunda: Being new to the Longwood, Farmville community I find myself bewildered by the occurrences of various Farmville, Prince Edward County related events. I am further perplexed by the lack of local journalistic endeavors toward these incidents. It is even more perplexing when these occurrences have made the front pages of not only the Richmond News Leader (February 28) but also the Washington Post (January 25). I am referring to the articles dealing with the racist attitudes and statements of the "school on the hill", Prince Edward Academy. Apparently, we the residents of Farmville and Prince Edward County are probably the only remaining residents of the state of Virginia, and the United States for that matter, (the Washington Post has a national circulation) that have no idea of the articles reporting the narrow-minded, ignorant statements that were uttered from the halls of that institution of education. If by chance you, as I presume many other locals, have been sheltered from the "meddling" journalists who would attempt to disrupt the tranquil pre-civil rights attitude of the area, I will attempt to bring you up-to-date on how the nation (including prospective students, contributors, black faculty and

—Movie Review—

By DAVID S.AREFORD It is obvious from observing the audiences response to the movie Taps, that many movie viewers were expecting something else from this motion picture than what was presented or at least, were not sure of how to respond. I think many were led to believe that they were going to see a movie involving kids fighting back against authority — a movie where the kids pull a fast one on the restricting world around them. The laughter that came from the audience early in the movie was in response to what the audience thought were

Editor, The Rotunda: We have a serious problem on this campus. It deals with lying.

Not "big time" things, such as lying about not cheating on a test when you were, but little things like giving a false name when you are caught for a violation of visitation.

The Honor Board has had a number of trials dealing with giving a false name when they are caught violating visitation policies. All the cases that have been tried resulted in finding the person guilty of lying. This is a violation of the Honor Code and can result in serious

administrators) view Farmville.

Within the Washington Post article of January 25, the head master of Prince Edward Academy, Robert T. Redd states, "Integration cannot succeed because blacks are on the average less intelligent than whites." The head master goes on to say, "Most blacks simply do not have the ability to do quality school work."

How can Longwood expect to recruit — keep minority students and faculty when these blatant racist statements are not challenged and allowed to run rampant. By not speaking out, as a member of the Farmville, Prince Edward County and I>ongwood community we are condoning these statements.

Contrary to what the silent, social conscious members of this community might think, a problem will not go away by simply ignoring it. Ignorance perpetuates ignorance as evidenced by the statements of Mr. Redd.

On The Cowtipping Trail

By EDDIE HOLLANDAR The assignment should have been easy. One of those whipped ' up — 750 words, with none of that filler crap stuffing its frame jobs.

Just facts, then put her to bed. A breeze sure, just a soft blanket breeze, no loose threads to get tangled in here, no inside scoops or clandestine phone calls. This was my kind of work, Woodward and Bernstein flake off, I need a little snooze time, too.

It should have been.

Subjunctive case -a desire — not accomplished, too many cow paddies fouling my pasture. But I did my homework anyhow.

Learned the behavorial characteristics of Mammalia Chordata Ungulata — the walking mammary gland — the four hoofed cow. Not just cows, mind you, but tipped cows, that is, cows who are pushed over on their sides.

First to the library, through those white washed Ionic columns into the fold of pristine walls, that stalk patiently to trap you in their glare. Immaculate knowledge, lined in horizontal dewy decimal waiting to paw

your eyes out with their brightness. I approached a wrinkled lady stationed perpendicular to the "return books here" sign. She watched me approach, from just above her bi-focals, the lower half of her face guarded behind a copy of "The Good News Bible." "Excuse me," I said with polite but positive assurance. Her eyes wandered upward, aiming just below my nostrils but her nose was raised farther. I thought that perhaps her spectacles were slipping, but rethinking I figured she was body talking a complex message — "look how much you don't know" and simultaneously "Home sweet home," for one could not live without the other.

She said neither, but replied, "Can I help you?" Yes, I'jn looking for some information on cows . . . specifically ' cow tipping." I should have asked for a book on the sexual deviations of Herman Goering -*- cow tipping was definitely too much for her.

"Cow-what?" "Tipping," I said, was I turning green? "like money . . . you give cows money?" She began to stutter, this was obviously not covered in Genesis. "Uh, no ma'am, you push the cow over." "Cow

punching?" . . . Zane Grey is in the fiction upstairs." "No, it's more like bull fighting" ... I was hoping to find a happy medium.

"They don't have bull fights in Farmville!" This she was sure of. Back on solid ground, she led with a blunt assertion of authority. "Young man, I'm quite busy, if you can't define your subject a little more clearly when you get in here, then you needn't come at all." Lacking a crystal clear image of what cow tipping was other than what I'd said, and feeling somewhat threatened by the Monocled dame who was now pressing her chipped fingernails into the pages of her book (I could tell by the white knuckles) I thanked her and left, in search of cow tipping.

Leonard Nimoy had nothing on me, except the ears maybe.

Where to go next? Who would know of cow-tipping? "O.K., let's be logical," I thought. If somebody were to cow-tip, he'd have to find a cow. Now where are the cows — in pastures.

Where are the pastures — on farms. Who runs the farms — farmers. Easy then — just find a farmer. But I didn't know any farms, which in itself is a small miracle that is, to live in a town

named Farmville and not to know any farmers. I had connections in the town council, the police department, the fire department, even the sanitary engineers know my name, but among that large clan of agrarians who put eggs in my broiler, carrots in my stew and tobacco in my cigarettes, I knew no one. Like most voids, it made itself noticeable only when needed.

I hit the cobblestone walkway leading from the library in an irritated confusion. My skull felt like it was filled with cotton balls.

There must be an easier way to get this story. Someway to just snap the old pencil and presto farmers with stories of cow tipping rolling off their tongue would be standing in front of me.

I could almost smell the manure, fell the wrinkled jowls, and watch the yellowed teeth, stained from countless tobacco plugs. "Yep," caught three of them jokers last night tipping my favorite hefer, I says to them, I said ... I had the twelve gauge on 'em at the time you understand ... I said, 'Now y'all just don't move another muscle lessen ya want to be paralegics for the rest of your days' and let me tell you they stopped right then and there like

some bodied drippled gasoline down their back and was holdin' the match 'bout an inch from their noses. I told 'em to get the hell off my land... my land mind you and my heffer, payed for 'em both with these two hands. I told 'em to get the hell off and if I ever saw their scrawny hides again I'd blow their eyeballs out."

But it was a no go. No farmer, no shotgun, nothing except me walking past Perini's watching visions and wrinkled sidewalks smacking the pads of my hush puppies.

I stopped in front of the red light and wondered which road to choose, the less traveled, the most it didn't matter. Where was it going? Know where you're going! Who'd said that? Never start a story without a lead, I had a name, wasn't a name, a lead?

Yes, but which road, left, right or reverse thrust. A small laser bounces around inside my cranium and on occasion it will hit the proper neuron stimulating the hell out of it, like sunlight through clouds and hoverinc lightbulbs - all that stuff — it came to me — to pastures, yes, I would go to the pastures.

Swann, RA's Agree Ignorance No Excuse

By ILONA WILSON "We all have a responsibility for our actions — whatever we do," said Miss Terrie Swann during an interview this past week. She is concerned with the students' responses of late when they are written up for violations of college policies.

"If we make a poor choice," she stated, "we should be mature enough to accept the consequences of that choice."

Miss Swann said that there had

been an increase in the use of illegal drugs, especialy marijuana on this campus.

Repeatedly, students rely on excuses rather than accepting responsibility. "Excuses range from 'I didn't see it in the handbook,' It isn't illegal where I live* to 'Everybody has pipes and papers in their room, and 'I don't know how the residue got into my pipe.' The number of cases heard or misuse of illegal substances no where near represents what I think is the usage in campus," said Swann.

She went on to say that, from what students say, it is not unusual to walk down a floor and see towels under a door or smell smoke. "If a student is willing to take the chance and use illegal substances, then he or she should be willing to take the consequences, which include possible suspension."

Bill Todd, an RA in Frazer feels that in the highrises, without sign-in sign-out, more people are willing to take the chance of getting caught. "People are responsible for their actions. You

are supposed to be mature adults and if you break rules you have to be willing to accept the consequences. Bill feels the guys on his hall respect him and "because of this, if they get caught and have to be written up, they are pretty honest."

It seems that the general view of the students is that they feel visitation rules are too strict. In speaking with a senior female student, she, like many others supported this view. "We have more freedom at home. We like it here and pay to be here. As long

as students aren't causing trouble they should be allowed more visitation rights." When asked about students' use of illegal substances on campus she felt that if someone wants to smoke pot then it's their business as long as they don't do it around her. "If they do", she said, "then they should know that it's illegal and accept the consequences of their action."

"As much as I like to see students in my office, 1 don't like to see them for disciplinary reasons," said Swann.

SPORTS Baseball Team Could Be Best Ever From Sports Information Coach Buddy Bolding will unveil his 1982 edition of Longwood baseball Thursday afternoon at Duke and Bolding feels this year's squad could be his best ever.

The Lancers played one game in Durham Thursday, visited Francis Marion in Florence, S.C. Friday for a single contest, played at Morris (Sumter, S.C.) Saturday for a doubleheader and

scoring 5.5 runs per contest.

Bolding believes his pitching will be improved.

"We have the potential to be one of the best Division II teams in the South Atlantic Region," said the coach. "Our goal is to qualify for the NCAA Div. II playoffs and no team was chosen last year that didn't win at least 30 games."

Longwood lost only two starters from last season â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Bowlin (.395) and Toombs (.339) accounted for 128 runs-batted-in last season.

Moving into the starting lineup will be junior Dwayne Kingery i ROANOKE), a transfer from Ferrum College. Kingery, who has good speed and a potent bat, will play shortstop. / Heading up the mound corps are five returning hurlers: seniors David Mitchell (ROANOKE), Bill Catron

Hankinson Player of Week From Sports Info. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Freshman standout Dayna Hankinson (Springfield), who took first place in beam at last week's VAIAW Gymnastics Championships, has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period February 26March 5. Player of the Week is chosen by the longwood Sports Information Office.

Longwood's top gymnast all season, Hankinson had an 8.9 score in beam to win first in the state meet. Hankinson's mark is a school record in beam. In addition, the freshman finished second in all-around with a score of 33.65, just .05 behind the state champ. Her all-around score was

the highest by a Lancer gymnast this season. Hankinson also placed second in floor exercise and tied for second in vaulting at the state meet.

While leading Ixmgwood to a 74 regular season record against rugged competition, Hankinson either won or placed in the top three in floor exercise all season.

She is a good bet to qualify for the AIAW Div. II Nationals as an individual if Ixmgwood fails to qualify as a team.

Selected as a high school AilAmerican in 1980, Hankinson is a business major at Ixmgwood. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hankinson of Springfield.

Gina Tabone, a freshman from Newcomers to the team include Fairfax, is a graduate of James freshmen Mike Alves (HAMPTON) and Allen Lawter W. Robinson High School. She has found that most important facet (Continued on Page 8) of competing with Longwood is the closeness of the team; "Everyone is so close on the team," she commented. "In high school, gymnastics is more of an individual effort, but here everyone is cheering for you.

Everyone is helping you."

A beam specialist for the Lady Lancers, Gina has found the adjustment to college gymnastics a slightly difficult one. "It's hard coming from where you're one of the best on the team, to where everyone is on the same or a higher level," she said. Gina was injured in practice last week when a small balance beam was dropped on her foot, but she hopes to be back in competition for regionals. "This (regionals) will be the highest competition Glna Tobone, Monica Chandler, and Player of Week, Dayna Hankinson.

wound up the four-day road trip at Benedict in Columbia, S.C. for one game Sunday.

As coach Bolding approaches the upcoming baseball season he has reason to believe Longwood could field its strongest team ever. The lancers will have depth, experience and speed in abundance and seem to be good bet to make significant improvement on last year's 24-13 mark.

"1 think we can have the best team we've had here," said Bolding. "We should have strong leadership from a group of seven seniors, all of whom have made major contributions to the program. We also have pitching depth and good team speed."

A year ago the lancers had a team batting average of .319 and averaged 8.9 runs per game to rank sixth in Division II in runs scored. While Ixmgwood scored a lot of runs last season, opponents also were productive at the plate

national base-stealing champ John Crosby, who graduated, and rightfielder Jim Thacker who was knocked out of action by a separated shoulder.

Crosby, who holds all NCAA college division stolen base records, and Thacker, a top hitter (.333 last season), will be hard to replace.

Returning starters include: first baseman Denny Ulrey (ROANOKE), second baseman David Rumburg (ROANOKE), shortstop Sonny Bolton (CHESTERFIELD), who has been moved to left field, leftfielder Bruce Morgan (DILLWYN), now in center, catcher Doug Toombs (CHASE CITY) and designated hitter Rusty Bowlin (POWHATAN).

Veteran John Sullivan (EAST O.UOGUE, NY), a third baseman, and Ron Jones (GOODE), a rightfielder, saw considerable action a year ago.

"Amy showed super athletic ability in her two blue ribbon wins," said Coach Whitlock. "She competed in the largest division of all (Novice) with 36 competitors in the flat and 30 in over fences."

Ixmgwood finished fifth out of eight college teams competing in the show as Pam Svoboda (Oldfield, NY) qualified for regionals in over fences in the Open Division and Bryan Farrar (Newport News) qualified for Intermediate on the flat.

Compete For Longwood "It would be so exciting if we won and the whole team went to nationals!"

Competing in her second season with Longwood, sophomore Monica Chandler now feels that her adjustment to collegiate competition has been completed. A native of Sterling, she is happy with her progress as a gymnast, but she finds that Division II competition has stiffened. "My scores have all been higher this season," said Monica, "but I haven't been placing as much. It's hard to get used to."

Monica has had a successful career with Ixmgwood thus far.

An all-around competitor, she qualified for the 1980 Division II Nationals, placed third allaround at regionals, and was selected to the 1980 AllChampionship team at the state finals.

This season, however, has been tougher for Monica, and she has found that her expectations both of herself and of the team have changed. "When the competition gets tougher every year you find that your goals change," she said. "Since I'm not placing as high this year I find that with each meet my performances have become more for the team than for myself."

Monica's major goal now is for the team to qualify for nationals.

SPORTS Longwood Cleared of Title IX Charges From Sports Info. — The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education has informed Longwood President Janet D. Greenwood that the college is in compliance with Title IX in the operation of its intercollegiate athletics program.

The findings resulted from an OCR review and on site investigation at Longwood last summer after former men's

athletic director and basketball coach Dr. Ron Bash charged that the college discriminates against male athletes in the provision of athletic financial assistance and practice and competitive facilities.

Dr. Greenwood received notification of the findings in a letter from OCR dated February 18. In part the letter stated: We have now completed the review and have concluded that

Longwood College is in compliance with Title IX in the operation of its intercollegiate athletics program. We conclude that no violation of Title IX has occurred.

"We are grateful to OCR for notifying us of their findings," said Longwood interim Athletic Director Carolyn Hodges. "The OCR team which visited us last summer performed a thorough investigation and their findings should set the issue to rest."

Coach Ruth Budd is confident that the I^ady I^ancers can defeat Radford, although they have failed to do so twice this season.

"I think if we can stay on bars and beam we have a good chance at beating them," commented Budd. "The two points they (Radford) beat us by at state can be easily made up if we can stick those two events."

Ride to Gym Meet longwood's Gymnastic Team will participate in the AIAW Regional Meet at Radford, Saturday, March 13, at 1:00. A longwood van will be available to transport interested persons to and from the meet. The van will depart in front of Lancer Hall at 9:45 a.m. and return to campus directly after the meet. The cost of the round trip will be $5. To reserve your seat, sign up and pay in advance in the Athletic Office located in Lancer Hall (29323).

The regional title is especially important to Longwood since the regional winner receives an automatic bid to the Division II National Championships.

Longwood has sent individual

qualifiers to nationals the past three years, but the entire team has never qualified.

He has performed throughout the eastern U. S. and teaches in Leesburg and at Northern Virginia Community College. He and MacNeil will perform as a duo in California in June.

Movie Review (Continued from Page 4) in bringing his character to life instead of creating a caricature.

Other fine performances come from Sean Penn, who handles the character of Aiex, Moreland's questioning roommate, with extreme exactness of emotion, and Tom Cruise gives us a believable portrait of a bloodthirsty cadet Director Harold Becker creates a movie that is sensitive to both sides of its issue. He also brings the environment of Bunker Hill to life with detail. In the opening scenes, with the help of Owen Roizman, Director of Photography, the audience is treated to a Commencement parade with its color, beauty and tradition. The world of this academy becomes a real place where the characters live and achieve. From the parade to such a small detail as the folding of a shirt, the world of the academy is brought to life.

Some may complain that the world of the movie is unrealistic.

Where are the faculty and its leaders? It is true that we never see them and that in this aspect and others, the movie is somewhat unrealistic. But like the novel, The Lord of the Files, which is comparable, all guiding authority is taken away from the children and they are left alone in a microcosm to live as they will.

In Golding's book, that world is the island and in Taps it is Bunker Hill Academy. For the events in the movie to occur, certain liberties must be taken with reality.

Taps deals with children and their interpretation of ideas and values. Kven though the military is not presented in a favorable light, the movie is not a campaign against militarism, but a study of how its ideas may be distorted.

The movie is filled with violence, but violence and death does have Its place and is pivotal to the plot and to the characters. Such scenes may be shocking to the audience, but they are effective and achieve their point. The only complaint is that the violence tends to be sensationalized.

Moreland learns that honor in death is not a simple and beautiful idea, but he realizes that, as one character says, "Dying is only one thing — bad".

All of the deaths in the movie are accidental. None are in response to a cause or a high ideal. They are pointless. As Moreland says to Alex in a memorable scene, "Honor doesn't mean a shit when you're looking at a dead little boy."

Before a respective member gets to this stage they fork out "X" amount of dollars for this brother or sisterhood, they also encounter many unannounced expenditures along the road of acceptance.

Hell week has had tragic implications for the NIFC, schools and parents: A Texas Freshman has criminal charges pending against three brothers of Alpha Tau Omega for assault, at LSU a Theta Xi pledge was killed and five others injured by a moving car as they were led blindfolded across a darkened highway. A man died of suffociation when a grave he was digging collapsed over him, another man died of alcohol overdose when he (a nondrinker) was locked in the trunk of a car and was not released until he drank a pint of bourbon, bottle of wine and six-pack of beer. Seventeen girls in diapers and bonnets paraded through restaurants and fraternity houses. Girls rarely suffer physical abuse but mental stress hits them head on.

The last youth's death triggered the formation of CHUCK (Committee to Halt Useless College Killings) nearly 25 deaths last year involved hazing and alcohol abuse while no charges were filed! Anti-hazing laws have been enacted in Virginia and around the U.S. Why do they do it?

J.L. Yanis, a Yale University psychologist says peer pressure causes submission. Many members think "hazing is a common experience that holds the group together"; the reason more incidents are not reported is because pledges have the promise of leadership glaring at them.

Why do they join a program that may be detrimental to their health? Several reasons. At large universities student relationships may be too impersonal and Greeks fill the void, companionship, life long business and social contacts. These reasons were also selected by two anonymous Greeks at fraternity and sorority. Both are graduating seniors.

The two pledged for different reasons. Mr. X thought four years ago activities lacked organization, so he looked for organization and drinking buddies. While Mrs. X had a relative already in a particular sorority, the sisters really impressed her with their attitudes and were obviously impressed with her because they extended her an open bid. Both learned history, customs and traditions and experienced stress during pledging. Mr. X's pledging had its "hair raising" moments while Mr. X and other pledgers were gripped by mental aggravation. Neither of them have any regrets for the roughly $150 investment.

James Epperson Associate Professor of English at Dartmouth has made five charges against the Greek system and Mr. and Mrs. X responded differently to the

charges: It perpetuates racial stereotypes, blacks and other minorities are not encouraged to join; it is uncivilized, destructive behavior, theft and vandalism are frequent; it is antiintellectual, drug culture with drunkiness used to justify behavior, it is sexist men abuse women and exclude them from membership. Mr. X agrees with all the above expect the first charge and Mr. X disagrees with the first charge and the nonintellectualism. The only sexist aspect of the system is fraternities having little sisters and sororities having a little brothers. Mr. X adds that it would be a good idea if the little brothers served a purpose, it would not work out if they didn't.

Both stressed that fraternities and sororities on each campus are different in these ways, (example: Some schools allow fraternity or sorority houses on campus while others like L.C. allow neither) even though they may have brothers and sisters at those institutions. Although the public image of a Greek is clouded with misunderstanding and sparse knowledge.
