Williams, a New Jersey Democrat, faced exclusion or censure for possible wrongdoing in an FBI Abscam case. Members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees indicated to President Reagan they are unable to cut an additional $14.2 billion from their budget. Reagan last week gave the green light to Senate Republicans to find a bipartisan budget alternative. The Senate subcommittee heard reports from four military
service senior planners last week that it will cut over $1.6 trillion of their budget to accomplish all defense missions for the next five years. WORLD In Frankfort, West Germany, a demonstration with 10,000 people resulted in street fighting and seven arrests over the U.S. policy in El Salvador. The Salvadoran Commander of Guerrillas, Ferman Cienfoegos, has planned a major offensive prior to election, Cuba and Nicaragua allies fear a strong response by President Reagan. State Department officials displayed photos in Washington last week showing evidence that Nicaragua is bolstering its

Proposal to Bolster Computer Literacy By JOE JOHNSON A proposal has been sent to the state council of higher education requesting funding in support of a program designed to enhance computer literacy among the faculty staff, students and administration of Longwood College. The money will be provided by a "funding mechanism" entitled Funds for Excellence, which is administered by the S.C.H.E. Mr. Al Carpenter, chairman of the Academic computing Planning Program described the criteria which must be met to submit such a proposal. "A proposal for the funds for excellence should be designed to offer a unique or outstanding service to the Commonwealth. "The target of our computer literacy program is all people at Longwood College, that's why it's unique."
If the proposal is accepted, Longwood would put the money into a program which would train everybody from freshman to tenured staff on the computer keyboard, learning various skills and functions pertaining to the mechanism. "What we want to do is bring everybody on campus up to a certain level of functional competency on the computer." The program would tapple with word processing also, but leave Basic and Fortran (Computer languages) to other courses now offered by the math department. "The long range goal is, after everybody has obtained this level of competency, for them to apply the computer to their area of interest or field specialization. But we are emphasizing more of aihands on experience. We want people here to learn a basic confidence, to feel comfortable with a computer."

Joan of Arc never got an award for being burned at the stake. All she probably received was an occasional stick or two under her feet and snide comments from bystanders "lousy heretic"...etc. Nobody cared back then. No need to fear however (also no need to get burned at the stake, or even steamed for that matter) Longwood has an award for all those unsung heroes. It is entitled appropriately enough the Arc Award and is presented to those students who have contributed service to Longwood College in an unusual and outstanding manner. The award tries to honor those students who work "behind the scenes" and receive very little recognition for their endeavors. The Arc Award was established by Legislative Board (now known as the student senate) in the spring of 1971. Initially it was presented to selected junior and senior undergraduate women. However,
in recent years the award has been changed so that men and women are now eligible to receive it. No more than ten juniors and seniors combined may receive the Arc Award in 'any given year. Students who hold an office voted on in a major election are not eligible nor are presidents or vice presidents of classes, members of Geist, students recognized by Geist as Festmeister, Mittenmeister, or Geistmeister, and juniors and seniors commended by Chi are not eligible to receive the Arc Award during that year. Each year, about March 10, nomination forms are distributed to the faculty, the presidents of all organizations, the junior and senior classes, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. These individuals may nominate junior and senior students. During the first few years of the award, the selection committee received 50 to 60 nominations. During 1981
there were only 11 students nominated and 6 were selected to receive the Arc Award. The selection committee is composed of the senior recipients of the Arc Award from the previous year (at which time they are juniors), a dean, the sponsor of Geist, the sponsor of Chi, and a faculty member. The Arc Award was initially presented at Senior Assembly. However, last year the Arc Award was presented during the Honors Council Awards Assembly and will continue to be presented at the Awards Assembly. Today, as in 1971, many students serve I/ongwood College in a variety of ways. Some receive praise and recognition while others do not. The Arc Award remains as one manner in which students, who normally do not receive formal recognition, can be honored and rewarded slightly for the service they render to their college.
Campus Police Justify Actions In Family Dispute By MARK SEGAL An altercation between campus police and a five foot ten inch 230 pound Vietnam veteran last Saturday night has Alpha Chi Rho members in bewilderment. According to AXP members an intruder entered their party at the Lankford Building. Campus police were called to the scene and John (not his real name) left the party with his alleged wife. John and his mate returned to the party and he made physical threats to members of AXP. Reportedly he even made
accusations that a member of the fraternity had beaten his wife the night before. Campus police were called a second time and told John that he must leave or he could be arrested for trespassing in the Lankford Building. According to Campus police, they asked a member of the fraternity if he would bes wUlmg to press charges against John. "They told me 'no'," said officer Husky. To complicate matters, John then tried to purchase beer at a local food store and was refused.
He reportedly then struck his alleged wife in the parking lot and drove away without her. She then went back to the AXP party looking for aid. "I think she came back to the party looking for the cops," said Barry Driver, a member of AXP. But then John came back on campus at approximately one F F a-m dulcWng a six-month old baby and was intercepted by police at the front of the Lankford building. (Continued on Page 3)

Alumnus Dazzles Audience With 'Down Home' Style By CINDY CORELL I could almost smell the honeysuckle bushes that had perked into my imagination along with the vision of a halfdozen barefoot children dressed in starched, overcleaned clothes, with crewcuts or straight pony tails, depending on their sex and impish grins on freckled faces. But no, 1 wasn't sitting on a cabin porch in the Appalachian Mountains. — far from it. I was sitting in Wygal Auditorium right here on campus. Molnar Recital Hall was temporarily transformed into a "Mountain music" concerthall Thursday night as a Longwood alumnae and friend took to the stage. Madeline MacNeil graduated from Longwood in 1962 as a vice major and she returned with friend Seth Austen for a Visiting Artist recital. The two from Winchester, Va. sat on the low stage on plain wooden chairs with various folk instruments' such as mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, fiddle and guitar, and their cases haphazardly nestled around them. She wore a long red plaid skirt and a white blouse while he was attired in Wranglers, a red flannel shirt and a pair of worn farm boots, good for keeping time while he played. With Madeline (or Maddie, as she's called) on mountain dulcimer, or hammered dulcimer, and Seth on the fiddle, guitar, or mountain dulcimer (he left his mandolin at home.) They encouraged the

Students Choreographed Water Ballet By CINDY CORELL The 1962 Catalina Spring Show opened Thursday night before a crowd of two hundred and ran through Saturday night in Lancer Pool. The 45-minute program was an excellent variety of choreographed water ballet. The choreography was done by members of the team and each number had from two to six swimmers. Some highlights of the evening's performance were "Relections" which was choreographed by Mo Kogge and performed by Bernie Toner and Judy Luck. The two swam in symmetrical form, matching
stroke for stroke, at times intermeshing their moves while keeping perfect synchronization. Kim Guthrie choreographed a number entitled "Flying Free" to the music of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Denise Goodie, Lynda Stratton, Bemie Toner, Debbie Bucsko, Cynthia Seltie, and Cheryl Compton performed in the rhythmic number, splashing and diving in excellent time. Following these and five other numbers, the entire Catalina team joined together for a grand finale to the music of "Hooked on Classics" by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The number was called, of course, "Classics."

—Movie Review— By JOE JOHNSON "Ghost Story" is probably the most accurately titled movie of this year. It is, from all perspectives and insidious angles, just that — a ghost story. From the decrepit house with iron spiked gates and broken shutters, to the cracked door, to the old men forming ritual societies, it possesses all the elements of an intricate spook plot. An audience looking for the macrabe sensationalism of "Friday the 13th" should look elsewhere. The frights contained in it are brought about through a well synchronized camera shot and frequent eye-popping false starts, not particularly explicit special effects. Like a hand placed on your shoulder from behind, you're never quite sure if the face you turn around to see is a mugger or friend. The tension this technique creates is most effective and occasionally results in that silly laughing at yourself for fear. What made this movie entertaining, though some have
criticized it for being slow moving, is the intricate step by step unraveling of plot. The order of the movie is not in the truest sense chronological; we are led through the tale in gigantic leaps backward by stories told in firelight and forward through cut up dream sequences. The audience is left to put it all together. Sorry, no Holmes to pat you on the back and say, "elementary, my dear Watson." Although after putting the pieces in place, the plot seems elementary; so is calculus after you get the right answer. Fred Astaire gives a fine performance as the tough old cookie, not too scared, 'out scared enough to play it smart. In his eyes, as in the eyes of the other characters (Melvin Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and John Houseman), we see the burden of guilt. Like Lady MacBeth's blood reddened hands, the stain is persistent. In this case, guilt does out and the result is four corpses. John Houseman plays a part similar to the one he plays on PBS's Paper Chase, the high

From Public Affairs The Longwood College department of music will present senior Lonnie H. Davidson in a saxophone recital on Tuesday, March 16, at 8 p.m. in the Molnar Recital Hall, Wygal Building, on the Longwood campus. Davidson's program will include works by Vivaldi, VillaLobos, William Duckworth, and Walter Hartley. Two of these works feature contemporary techniques for the saxophone. Assisting Davidson will be pianists Emily Sue Wilkinson, Charles A. Moshenek, and Renee Williams. The recital is open to the public at no charge. Davidson is president of the Longwood Jazz Ensemble and received the music department's Performance Award last year. He is chairman of the college's committee for the Performing Arts Series and a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity. He is a graduate of Midlothian High School where he received the Robert Morrison Award for his participation in the band.
Campus Police (Continued from Page 1) Alpha Chi Rho feels John should have been arrested well before he ever came back with the infant. According to officer Husky: "After the second time we responded I called Ms. Ferrell from social services to find out what (options were available)." But, said Husky, Ms. Farrell wanted to talk to the wife and by the time Husky went to find her she was gone. An arrest was never made and according to Dr. Peale, vice president for atlministration, he feels campus police did everything they could have done to prevent a serious situation: "we were in the middle of a>
handed guardian of his particular society. However, he manages to break his mold and let the strain of a crime 50 years old tell in his lines. When Director John Irving chose his lead actress, he must have had a vision or two himself. She has the face and ability to hauntingly seduce the entire audience. Her character, though extremely malignant, seems almost vulnerable — an exceptional quality for a ghost. Perhaps this dualism of character is best represented in the final scene of the movie. Where most directors would have gone for lavish gore and special effects, Irving takes the opposite route and siphons horror away. Some might call that anticlimatic. I call it a successful denouement.

Course Offered By CINDY CORELL A backpacking course is offered this summer from July 14-18. The class, which will earn three credit hours, will consist of two days in the classroom and three days hiking and camping on the Appalachian Trail. "The direction of the course is to give those who plan to work with people in the future the opportunity to learn how camping and backpacking can fit into a program, especially in the area of working with school-aged children," said David Jones, instructor of the course. The course will be offered to a maximum of fifteen students. They will sleep in tents, eat dehydrated foods and hike to a new camping site each night. Each student is expected to provide their own sleeping bag, a backpack, and a sturdy pair of hiking boots. Anyone interested should contact David B. Jones, Longwood College, Farmville, Va., 392-9266.
