Greenwood Encourages Joining Together

By JOE JOHNSON The faculty members flowed into Jarman flecking the still darkness with their academic regalia as the procession for convocation and capping for seniors of 1982 began. The ceremony which took place last Thursday, August 27 was an appropriate setting for such formal dressings as the presentation of colors by the Military Science Honor Guard and a rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the mixed chorus directed by Dr. Egbert. The majority of the ceremony, however centered around the new college President and her message to longwood College.

Dr. Greenwood began her convocation address entitled "Joining Together" with a resolution towards enthusiasm and a warning to the apathetic, "the time to stand passively on the sidelines with a 'We will wait and see' attitude is not an acceptable posture for those who care about Longwood...In order to do great things, one must be enthusiastic".

Briefly outlining the history of Longwood, Dr. Greenwood placed strong emphasis on the first 150 years as an even stronger base for the second 150 years. "We will be sure that our revitalizalion moves us successfully toward the turning point from our first century and a half into our second 150 years".

She listed such major events in Longwood's history as its original incorporation by the state legislature on March 5, 1839 under the title of the Farmville Female Seminary Association.

Giving the tuition and various other fees for students at that time, Dr. Greenwood reemphasized the enormous changes that have taken place over the century and a half span.

In 1839, tuition for five months was five dollars for each foreign language, fifteen dollars for higher English and twelve dollars and fifty cents for lower English.

Room and board was set at an unbelievable eight dollars to ten dollars per month.

After the brief history, Dr. Greenwood turned to the future of Ix>ngwood and her plans for its revitalization. Quoting such futuristic thinkers as Daniel Yankelovich and Alvin Toffler, liOngwood's President examined the hazards of complacent thinking about the status quo "a variety of current surveys show that twenty major mormative changes have taken place in recent year". She went on to say that these changes should not frighten a person rather serve to act as "exciting, challenging, and envigorating" facts of modern society.

One of the major changes Greenwood foresees in education is in the area of computer literacy. "Computer based educational systems...are the future of education...The rate of learning is accelerated for most students and comprehension and retention are good. Comuter literacy is becoming essential".

"As Longwood moves ahead" Dr. Greenwood continued, "progressive stability will be evident; things will not be left to chance; they will be the results of purpose and intention." Some of (Continued on Page 8)

Armstrong To Fill Administrative Vacancy

By GAD. W. SHANNON Dr. Verna L. Armstrong has been chosen by Dr. Greenwood to become the new Administrative Assistant to the President. This post was vacated in June by Dr. T.C. Dalton. Dr. Armstrong comes to Longwood from the University of Cincinnati at Cincinnati, Ohio on a one year leave of absence. She had been at the University for eleven years where she was on the faculty governance board and was a faculty member in the College of Pharmacy. Dr. Armstrong's special area of expertise lies in the field of Toxicology. Besides

She is the Vice PresidentTreasurer of a small company and is on the Board of Directors of a private Christian school.

Dr. Armstrong's duties here will be to work with the faculty on a new organization of the faculty.

Freshmen Officers Elected

By TAMMY PORTER On September 1, 1981, the new freshmen of Longwood held their election for class officers. The presidential candidates consisted of Lisa Caudel, Randy Niemeyer, and Lisa Tirambuld. The aspirants for vice president included Tyra Jones and James Thornton. While the position of secretary went uncontested to Jaylin Leonard, the runningmates for treasurer comprised Tia Cochran, Gerald Boone, Annette Mucha, and Stephanie Parker.

Although the actual election took place on Tuesday, only the positions of the vice-president and the secretary were determined. These offices went to Tyra Jones and Jaylin Leonard respectively. Due to the closeness of the results between the other

two races, a run-off election was necessary. The final outcome found Randy Niemeyer victorious as president, and Tia Cochran triumphant as treasurer.

The freshmen President, Randy Niemeyer, said, "I hope to raise the level of participation in extra-curricular activities to soring dimensions," when asked what he hoped to accomplish this year, while the vice president, Tyra Jones, responded by saying, "I feel since our class is so large we have a lot of potential, and therefore, it is important for us to be closely knit to accomplish the most that we can."

Both hope to have the most successful freshmen turn out ever at the Octoberfest as they promote their class Senior capping officially took place as President Greenwood rememberance. capped Kim Fuhr, President of the Senior Class of 1982.

This includes updating the standards and criteria for appointment of new faculty, reappointment, tenure standards, and any policies concerning faculty. She will also be working with Longwood's computer department to help update it. Dr. Armstrong wants to help make Longwood a leader in computer technology as well as helping to make it the great college it is capable of becoming.

When asked if she would do any teaching, Dr. Armstrong said that she has offered her services but that so far nothing has been decided.

Dr. Armstrong has three children, a girl, 18 and two boys, 11 and 16. Her husband runs a swimming pool company in Cincinnati that deals in larger pools such as those purchased by colleges.

Dr. Armstrong is a very personable and dynamic addition to the Ix)ngwood staff. Please join us in welcoming her to Ix>ngwood and wishing her the best of luck in her new endeavors.

Swann Discusses Dorm Changes

By ILIX)NA WILSON ...Perhaps students would want more co-ed residence halls where we could encourage brother-sister relationships. This would be with the hope that the people living there would appreciate the rights and responsibilities of such a coeducational environment", responded Dean Swann in an interview this week.

Miss Terri Swann is the administrative assistant to the Vice-President for Student Affairs. Though she carries the same title she had last year, her duties have changed. She is now responsible for resident staff, programming, and related areas that do not involve maintenance, resident budget, and or physical movement of "bodies or furniture". Says Dean Swann, "I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with people in the residence halls and to have a chance to help regulate residence life so people can get an education. But I feel a little overwhelmed with the increased responsibility since I handle discipline also. I try to do incident reports every day.

Colloquium Lecture Features Ferguson This year's Faculty Colloquium at Longwood College will feature presentations on on-going research by four members of the college's faculty.

The research areas include: an ancient form of animal life still found in caves in the United States; results of damage to the hippocampus, a structure of the brain; a sociological inquiry into "alternate futures;" and the newly discovered forms of oxygen, its role in cells and possibly in cancer.

Dr. Lynn M. Ferguson, assistant professor of biology, will give the first Colloquium lecture on Wednesday evening, September 16, at 7:30 in the Wygal Building Auditorium.

A zoologist and experienced cave explorer. Dr. Ferguson will discuss his study of "Refugees of the Ice Age" or cavernicolous campodeid diplurans. Ten genera and 42 species of these primitive, eyeless and wingless insects have been identified from more than 280 caves in 24 states.

Dr. Ferguson states that the present distribution and inferred evolution of the cave-dwelling campodeids in the U. S. are best explained as a result of the climatic fluctuations of the Pleistocene Epoch or Ice Age (ten thousand to a million years ago).

"The alternating cool, moist glacial periods and warm, dry interglacials brought about the isolation of some ancestral species that later evolved into troglobites or cave-dwellers," he explains.

He adds that the distribution and primitive structure of certain genera suggest "a very ancient group whose range has been fragmented by continental drift."

He considers the cave-dwelling campodeids to be "living fossils."

Dr. Ferguson received the Ph.D. in zoology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. This past summer, he presented a paper on his research at the Eighth International Congress of Speleology, held in Bowling Green, Kentucky, near the Mammoth Cave system.

The other Colloquium lectures this academic year will be as follows: November 11 — "Hippocampus, Habituation and Hyperactivity," by Phyllis G. Wacker; February 10 — "If Technology is the Answer, What Was the Question?: An Inquiry into Alternate Futures," by Dr. I-awrence G. Hlad; and March 10 - "Oxygen. The Tamed Toxin,"

by Dr. Patrick G. Barber.

All of the Colloquium lectures are open to the public without charge.

ROTC Summer Activities

By JOE JOHNSON "Ten Hut" growled a young girl standing stiffly at attention, trying to raise her voice another two decibles above her last command. So went the summer days of Longwood's ROTC students at advance camp.

The camp which was held at Fort Bragg, North Carolina lasted for six weeks. Training included such exciting events as rappelling off in fifty foot tower, the confidence course (named so, because anyone who manages to complete it gains enormous amounts of confidence), an obstacle course and training with the M-16 A 1 Automatic rifle, M-60 machine gun, light weight antitank weapons and handgrenades.

The sixteen members from longwood College also practiced squad movements, took a ride in the Black Hawk (the Army's newest helicopter) and received branch orientation training (individualized training in the seperate branches of the Army such as artillery, finance, transport, communication, engineering and medicine). All candidates were required to undergo test in such areas as land

navigation (compass and map reading), physical fitness (two mile run, push ups and sit ups) and peer group ratings before graduating from the camp.

Longwood's ROTC department has also been busy in other areas.

They sent six people to ROTC Basic camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Among those sent were Tania Gallop, Dave Dodd, Bill Klink, Joe Bass. Sherry Gallop and Nick Ciucci.

Sharon Browne, a junior member of ROTC received training at the airborne camp in Fort Benning, Georgia. Dave Dodd a newcomer to the ROTC program received training at an air assault school where he learned procedure for helicopter dismounting and mounting.

Four people were submitted for three year ROTC scholarship this year and four received them.

Among these were Janice Gathwright, Derick Wolfe, Janice Boyd and David Dodd.

Tania Gallop received a two year ROTC scholarship.

Captain Stanford, commenting on Longwood's ROTC program was very enthusiastic about the number of interested students.

Skip Castro Jams

By KURT COFFIELD The students' first Friday back at Ixmgwood was a prime time for the Skip Castro Band to play on Her Field. Many enthusiastic Ungwood and Hampden-Sydney students were on hand to hear Skip jam. The rhythm and blues mixed in with rock 'n' roll was the correct blend of music for college students ready to get back into the swing of school.

The Skip Castro Band has developed a large group of student followers after releasing their "Boogie at Midnight" album. This was demonstrated when members of the band

encouraged the crowd into participating. By far, the most awaited song was the title cut "Boogie at Midnight" as the crowd seemed to be bubbling over with excitement when everyone boogied to it.

The Skip Castro Band, from Charlottesville, is formed by four talented musicians: Danny Beirne, Corky Schoonover, Bo Randle and Charlie Pastorfield.

Cheers to the Student Union, they picked a great band to entertain on the first weekend of school. Next time, we hope they will pick a better beer to drink than Old Milwaukee!

States To Rock Longwood

By MIKE LYNCH On Saturday, September 12, Ixmgwood College will be visited

by States. The States is a highly refined band that is reputed to be great to listen to. They should be one of the highest caliber bands to come here all year. Although their musical style contains many different popular songs and a number of songs from their own albums. The States' basic musical style is heavy rock'n'roll supported with excellent vocals and harmonics.

Hailing from the Norfolk area, the band was formerly known as McDonnell. Among the groups that they have toured with are Hall and Oates And Toto. The States are Timmy McDonnell (vocals), Steve Chandler (guitars), Barry Scott (lead guitar), Morgan Hampton (drums), Robert Schindler (keyboards) and Butch Germano (bass).

The band takes the state at 9:00 on Saturday night in the lower dining hall. It is part of the Student Union's "Saturday Night Alive" program and the cost of admission is $2.00.

WUTA Begins Second Year

By SARAH BISE On Tuesday, September 1,1981, Longwood's own radio station, WUTA, began its second year of broadcasting. As of now the station wil run from 4:00 until 12:00 p.m. seven days a week.

After the personnel have been organized, it will remain on the air until 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday only.

Program director Jodi Kersey has many goals and ideas that she would like to see incorporated into WUTA this year. Some of these are to expand and include more forms of programming, such as interviews with the faculty and staff, as well as with the individual performers that are scheduled to have concerts at Longwood.

Ms. Kersey believes the radio station can be used to highlight activities on campus, as well as

for controversial topics that may arise throughout the semester.

After these interviews have been conducted, the listeners are encouraged to call the station and give their comments on the program. Some time in the future, the radio station would like to expand to 100 watts, and become stereo, thus securing WUTA's place on 90.1 FM dial.

The station would also like to be an official member of the FCC, instead of test broadcasting.

The next meeting of WUTA will take place on Tuesday, September 8, 1981 at 1:00 p.m. in Jarman 026. The radio station is open to all students that are willing and able to take the responsibility of being a disc jockey. The announcers must agree and become aware of the FCC rules. WUTA is a member of the Longwood Radio Association,

and must answer to the school and the FCC, if any violations occur. There are several other jobs that are open at the station other than being an announcer, such as working on the news, selecting promotional records, and obtaining public service announcements. By working at WUTA, one will have the advantages of learning firsthand how to work the control board and other facets about a radio station. Disc Jockey Jay Carey views his job at WUTA as challenging, "I learned how a radio station is run and this may be very beneficial to me in the future."

Ms. Kersey encourages all the students that would really like to work at WTUA, making these goals become a reality, "not to hesitate to join," Longwood's own radio station, WUTA, 90.1 FM.

Grady's appearance is sponsored by the InterReligious Council and the Wesley Foundation of Longwood College. You are invited to two hours of fun and laughter.

Hundredth Production Underway

By BRENDA COLEMAN The Longwood Players' first production of the year will be William Congreve's 17th century restoration comedy Love for Love. The play, which focuses on the affairs of the heart, is set for an October 14-17 run. This production is a special one for the Longwood Players' drama organization. It is the 100th production of the Players as well as the 30th anniversary of Jarman Auditorium.

The play centers around a young man named Valentine Legend and his efforts to win the hand of the pretty and shrewd Angelica. Angelica decides to have Valentine prove his worthiness before she consents to his appeals and the resulting complications serve as the basis of the play. Meanwhile, other couples in the play are likewise breaking up, making up, and engaging in all sorts of interesting matters of the heart.

Their dialogue and actions are liberally sprinkled in that marvelous 17th century manner that proved to be and still is scandalous.

The cast is headed by Stewart Grant as Valentine and Faith Lancaster as Angelica. Frank Creasy, a veteran of many Players' productions, has another beautiful character role as Sir Sampson I-egend, with Jim Pittman as Scandal and George Hughes as Tattle. Other support comes from castmates Jim Greene, David Wood, Tony Russo, Don Bush, Mike Curley, Cindy Jude, Lyman Smith, Helen Van Jackson, Usa Bowers, and Terri Ix>ng with orange wenches Wendy Sublett and Nannette Lemplin.

There is nothing quite as selfsatisfying as looking at an annual containing photographs of events that you have had some part in — for instance, attending a LeRoux concert or participating in the Oktoberfest paint battle. It is even more satisfying when you can purchase an annual such as this for $2.00.

That's right, $2.00. Not the usual fourteen dollars, because the 1981-82 Virginian (Longwood's yearbook) will be approximately 72 pages long. And boy is it going to be good.

The Virginian staff is planning a yearbook this year that will be new and exciting. It's a brand new idea in the concept of Longwood's traditional

yearbook. This new annual will be packed full of pictures of events going on at Longwood, such as Oktoberfest, mixers, concerts, Mardi Gras, sports, Saturday Night Alives and Spring Weekend, to name just a few.

There will be many, many pages of candids of you and-or someone you know, parties, open mikes and plenty of other exciting events.

The Virginian Staff will be selling subscriptions for this yearbook during this fall. So come experience the joy in opening and looking through a book filled with memories.

Remember, it only costs $2.00 and for seniors, there will be a special section of pictures of seniors included with your yearbook, at no extra charge.

The Longwood Scholars: "An Opportunity to Extend Yourself"

By RONNIE BROWN The Longwood Scholars Program, sponsored by the Longwood College Foundation Inc. and the Longwood College Alumni Association, is an organization that encourages "exceptionally qualified (high school) students to attend Longwood," says Gary Groneweg, Director of Admissions. In the eight years of existence, the scholars program has provided the students with many privileges, including a cash award. These funds come from private donors and are used for educational expenses.

The scholars have many advantages, but their journey to this status is by no means easy.

The first procedure in becoming a scholar candidate is submitting an application (these totaled between seventy and one hundred

last year) before the last week of February. The applicants academic credentials are considered and approximately seven candidates are chosen.

These candidates visit the Longwood campus in March and with the combination of their academic record and their performance at the personal interview, the scholars are named. According to Janet Smith, a sophomore scholar from Victoria, and John McMillen, a freshman scholar from Falls Church, the interviews are a chance for the group of faculty to observe your composure under pressure. "If they had to know you. They gave you every opportunity to mess up," said McMillen. Smith described the atmosphere as "intimidating".

The candidates sat on one side of the table and the faculty resided

on the opposite side. She was questioned on topics such as her personal goals, the Iranian Crisis and "If you wanted to be anyone, who would you be?" Her session was highlighted by one faculty member asking her to convince him that God did not exist.

As witnessed in the interview, the vital quality the scholars have is to be able to perform under pressure. The students must keep an accumulative grade point average of 3.35 and combined with the adjustment of college living, the tension increases.

Janet Smith experienced this and rates it as a real test. "I had a lot of pressure because of the academics combined with the personal adjustment." John McMillen, a freshman, is finding it difficult to anticipate how he will fare in college. Since classes started, he

Alumni Proof to Alternatives to Teaching

By CINDY CORELL A seminar-dinner entitled "Alternatives to Teaching" was presented Wednesday, Sept ember 2 in the Prince Edward Room at 5:45 by the office of Career Planning and Placement.

The purpose of the seminar was to show how skills learned by education majors provide opportunities to work in many other environments than just the classroom.

Ms. Niki Fallis, the Director of the Office of Career Planning and Placement, opened the program by stressing that this seminar was not to discourage those qualified to teach from making teaching their career, only to make aware the other choices offered for Education majors.

Ms. Fallis then introduced the guest speakers who are both proof to the fact that other career choices for a qualified teacher, are not only available, but enjoyable. The speakers, Mrs. Sally Chewning Little, and Ms. Ann Johnson are both Longwood College alumni and both received Bachelor of Science degrees in Education.

Mrs. Little graduated from Longwood in 1977 as a Physical Education major.

After graduation she returned to her home in Richmond, Va., and

sought a job using her teaching certificate. Although she limited herself in her search by staying in Richmond, she advised the audience, of which the majority will soon be student teaching this year, not to limit themselves either geographically as she did, or to one level of certification.

"Go all the way; if it's teaching you want; be certified for as much as you can be."

Finding no job as a teacher, Mrs. Little returned to her summer job as a tour guide for Philip Morris, Inc., which manufactures and processes tobacco and also brews and cans beer. She stayed in this job for approximately a year and a half, went through a series of promotions and job changes, at her own suggestion, and is now holding the position of Affirmative Action Specialist This position entails keeping Philip Morris Inc. in compliance with the government by processing charges of discrimination with the corporation.

Mrs. Little feels that both her experience as a tour guide and her education have contributed

By JOE JOHNSON Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull has another masterpiece under his wing — Illusions. A culmination of experiences in a biplane and a visit or two with his imagination has developed into a philosophical statement of life.

Or not life as the case may be for he seems to be saying that everything (meaning I suppose reality as we know it) is all right because its just one big facade anyhow.

Bach starts out with a quaint parody of scripture and the coming of the Messiah who in this book is a fellow by the name of Don Shimoda. This tuneful

mechanic comes from the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne in Indiana. He is, however, a very unambitious man, for what does h« do with all his miraculous power (not really miraculous at all as Bach soon explains) but neglect them in favor of an outdated biplane and an outdated writer who is the author of said book.

As the story continues, Bach begins to notice strange occurrences surrounding Shimoda such as walking on water, swimming in the earth, and healing cripples. Being an author, however, and very up on the latest developments in modern theology, Bach concludes

very much to her success in these promotions. Specifically, she pointed out skills she learned for teaching such as flexibility, patience, ability to present material and information to the uninformed and self-confidence to learn what she needed to know in these unfamiliar jobs.

Ms. Ann Johnson, the next speaker, graduated from Longwood in 1979, with a certificate to teach elementary school. She decided as a young girl to become a teacher and devoted most of her life to that profession. She tutored and gave piano lessons in school and worked with the elementary children.

After she graduated, she received a job offer from her home city school board in Lynchburg, Va., and eagerly began her career. The next year, though, due to a swift decline in enrollment in the Lynchburg School system, her contract, as one of the newest teachers, was not renewed. Being unable to find a job as a teacher, Ms. Johnson applied elsewhere. She was soon hired by Thalhimer Brothers, Inc. as Assistant Personnel Continued on Page 8)

Book Review that he is keeping company with the reluctant Messiah. Soon Shimoda lends Bach a book called "the Messiah Handbook, Reminders for the Advanced Soul," (another quaint invention) and scattered through the pages of illusions, like so many Psalms in the Bible, one finds sayings that were meant to be written in decorative old English and hung above a kitchen sink. Very beautiful they are and very thought provoking. Take for example "you teach best what you most need to learn," "live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world — even if what is published is not true."

basically eats, sleeps, attends class and studies. "The hardest part is finding out how much time you have." He further explains that once he adjusts to college standards, he will be able to spend more time leisurely.

The scholars are granted many responsibilities, but they also enjoy numerous privileges other than financial assistance. They also have the first choice in registering for classes and receive special help from the faculty.

Although the scholars are exceptional students, they would be the last to admit it. "I personally don't feel exceptional...I think anyone can make good grades if they apply themselves," said Smith.

McMillen, who never expected to receive this honor, also presents a humble attitude. "I'm not a

super brain, I'll be the first to admit it...I don't like people to over emphasize my (membership as a) Longwood Scholar".

The other nine scholars include: Gilbert Bates, a sophomore from Pine Hill, N.J.; Karen Covington a freshman from Appomattox; Leigh Ann Goddin, a sophomore from Orange; Mary Beth Johnson, a senior from Vienna; Charna Moore, a junior from Frostburg, MD; Carol Parrish, a junior from Chester; Connie Reeves, a sophomore from Dayton; Susan Watford, a junior from Friendly, MD; and Sharon Wooten, a senior from Dillwyn.

These students are given a great deal of responsibility, but after all, they have an opportunity to extend themselves".

Cox Discusses Stress And Anxiety

By GAYLE WEAVER On September 9, Dr. Jennings Cox spoke on the subject of stress and anxiety at the Wesley Foundation. Ours is the most stress filled society in the world, one in which people must be aware of the stresses on them in order to prevent the mental and physical problems which may arise.

Dr. Cox had 8 suggestions for coping with stress. In using these suggestions one must constantly be aware of how "tense" the body can be.

These suggestions are as follows: 1. Learn to relax. If muscles are relaxed the body will become relaxed.

2. Use rational thinking and tell yourself the problem can be solved later.

3. Make Jokes about the problem which is causing stress.

4. Plan a rigid time schedule for a stressful day and use common sense throughout that day.

5. Set a goal and once this goal is obtained, a sense of completion and relaxation is felt.

6. Be assertive and stand up to one's rights. This may involve getting things out in the open that have been held back.

7. Good nutrition and exercise at least a half-hour each day, if possible.

8. Escape from a stressful environment and do fun and relaxing things. Only choose the escape route when the problem will not get worse if left.

Stress and anxiety cannot be fought against but can be coped with. The best way to do this is to constantly be aware of one's inner feelings and know when stress may be overwhelming the body.

Attend The Rotunda Meetings on Monday night in Grainger 007

What many people may find As a piece of literature, obnoxious about Illusions is its Illusions will stand out among the tendency to remind one of the late twentieth century best sellers as sixties flower children and their a classic. It has everything, incessant chants of "do your own tongue and cheek humor, playful thing." But the theme is taken a parody, vivid imagery (although step beyond this into the realm of some of the scenes could have "meta-psychology," where we been a little better developed, find that everything that happens Bach's ambiguity tends to to man is of his own choice. Those entertain rather than annoy) and who are happy are so because enough intellectual morsels to they expect it. Those in pain also feed a starving public. because they expect it. Those who hate or love or cry or die all As a philosophical self-help because they expect it. It's a little book, maybe it shouldn't be taken hard to swallow but Bach says it so simply and with such ease, it's too seriously. As Bach himself like honey and tea — "Where states (covering every possible your thinking is, there is your contingency) "Everything in this bpok may be wrong." experience."

By KAY SCHMIDT Longwood's field hockey team opens play at home Thursday when Mary Washington visits for a 3:00 contest on Barlow Field.

The Lady Lancers will not be playing Randolph-Macon Saturday morning at 10:00 as previously scheduled. Instead, Randolph-Macon will visit September 28.

Competing in AIAW Division I, Longwood must face some of the best teams in the nation right here in Virginia. Old Dominion placed fifth in national competition in 1980. William and Mary also qualified for nationals last year after winning the state and regional title.

"Our goal is to do well against our Division I opponents," said Coach Bette Harris. "I feel we have the talent to succeed."

Although last year's leading scorer Julie Dayton, goalie Terri Davis and defensive leaders Kim Garber and Kathy Devine will be hard to replace, Harris has seven starters returning.

"We will have to rebuild the left side of the field since Dayton, Garber and Deevine all played on that side," said Harris. "This year we will work on balancing the scoring. A stable defense and

the players' experience of working together should be a major strength this season."

The 1981 edition of Ixmgwood field hockey consists of 17 players from Virginia and eight out-ofstate. Returning for the I^ady lancers will be juniors Chris Mayer and Betty Stanley, who scored five goals each last season. Also back on attack is senior Mary King, who scored four goals a year ago, and junior Cherie Stevens.

Heading up the defense will be Mindy Allman, Betty Jo Casey, Janet I-ong, Mary Milne and goalie Lorrie Garber.

This season's schedule includes 13 contests, with games against Division I opponents Virginia, William and Mary, Old Dominion, James Madison and Virginia Tech. The I^ady lancers also host the Longwood Invitational Tournament, facing Davis and Elkins, Maryland, North Carolina, Appalachian State and Duke.

In 1980 I/ongwood compiled an 11-7 overall and 9-4 regular season record. The Ixidy lancers finished fifth in the VAIAW State Tournament and sixth in regionals.

(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page 2) "Enrollment in ROTC is really improving...we now have 138 students (75 per cent of these freshmen) as compared to 30-40 when the program was first instututed five years ago". "I'm really proud of what these students are accomplishing..." continued Captain Stanford.

"Their taking on a challenge and proving to themselves that they can do it."

the areas for change she carefully outlined in her speech.

The development of an institutional information organization which would review among other things the colleges academic and administrative units and determine the quality and viability for each one.

Another area of direction would be in leadership and planning.

Longwood's President hopes to meet with every employee of the college during the 1981-82 year.

She also hopes to develop and maintain effective interdepartment cooperation and teamwork to create as she says a "productive team approach".

Dr. Greenwood mentioned preparing for the accreditation visits and instituting programs for computer literacy, developing a system of appointment, reappointment, promotion and tenure criteria to reflect high standards of excellence and keeping the campus grounds in "excellent" shape.

Another major item was the revision of discipline rules and regulation to meet "legal requirements and assure fairness, appropriateness and consistency". She would also like for the college to expand its co-op program with other colleges and universities in the area of professional practices.

One of the major areas of her speech was on the John P. Wynne Campus School's future. Under

Within a short time the Personnel Manager was transferred to another store and Ms. Johnson

was promoted to that position.

Her duties now involve hiring and training new employees to the store.

Ms. Johnson, like Mrs. Little attributes much of her success to her education received at Longwood College. She adds that her many extra-curricular activities in school and in College also helped her cause a great deal. She considers the people that she hires and trains her pupils and with the spirit of a teacher still in her blood, she feels that this career is for her.

Both former Longwood students plan to go back to, or start teaching in their future, but both also feel that there is so much else in the world that they can do, they are glad that they found something they enjoy.

study is the possibility of beginning classes for exceptional learners in the surrounding county schools. "By reaching out to the community in providing expanded services to include exceptional learners at the campus school...Longwood will reinforce its proud tradition of excellence in teacher preparation," said Dr. Greenwood.

Another point the college President wanted to emphasize was her theme of "Joining Together" with the community.

To do this, she listed several goals: 1. Supporting Longwood's regional-county neighborhood development, 2. Developing cooperative and collaborative, relationships with HampdenSydney, 3.

Developing cooperative and colabrative relationships with public and private school systems in the area. 4. Working on the potential for developing the "downtown mall" concept which will assure the vitality of downtown and enhance town relationships.

In conclusion, Dr. Greenwood quoted Dr. Eleanor Bobbins' poem "which choice will you make:" ending with the words "The only person you have to be better than is the person you are today."
