Hall Council Funds Cause Misconceptions By JOE JOHNSON Confusion and chaos generally reign supreme during check-in and registration to the dorms. This year was no exception. However, outside of normal room condition reports, pick-up of keys and so on there was an item which seems to have caused exceptional confusion — a 5.00 dollar donation to the hall council fund. The fund was established this year so that hall council, an elected body of students from each dorm would have a budget to work with. The budget would be used to finance dorm activities for the students who have paid the fee. The activities would range from guest speakers to canoe trips to pizza breaks during exams. Kathy Wilcox, one of the advisors to hall council, explained the reasons for establishing the organization. "Students are in the residence hall more than they are in the classroom. A lot of growth can take place. The hall council will sponsor activities that can be recreational, social and educational." During a meeting with the R.A.s held the Wednesday before classes, Kathy explained hall council and "informed (the R.A.s) that the hall council fund was strictly voluntary." Unfortunately, during check in and registration, many students
seemed to have missed the point. Kevin Laser. from Frazer i dormitory said "They just told me I had to pay $5.00. I didn't know what it was for." Renee Ginader, who wrote a letter to The Rotunda concerning the incident said "After I went through the check in pro cess, they told me there was a $5.00 activities fee. I asked if I could pay later because I didn't have my purse with me. I was told I could pay later and I'd have to pick up my keys later. So I walked to the car and picked up my purse. I didn't know what was going on, since I was a transfer. I just wanted to pay and get the keys and go on." The confusion in that incident was not isolated. According to Paige Tihlman, "Jim Scott (resident supervisor for Frazer dormitory) said I could not leave the office with my key until I paid my five dollars. I told him my wallet was in mv car. He (Jim Scott j said to get it" Darrell Turney of Frazer also thought the money was for a key deposit. "In order to get our kev. we had to pay five dollars." Gary Lunsford of Frazer said "They told me it was for a key deposit. They didn't say anything about dorm dues. I paid the five dollars." A number of students, although informed that the five dollars was for dorm activities were given the impression that it was mandatory, not voluntary. Mike
Atkins of Frazer said "When I walked in they said I had to pay a $5.00 dorm due...They told me it was mandatory, nobody told me it was voluntary'.'Vicky Hale also of Frazer said "When I checked in, Jim Scott told me that it was a mandatory fee. So I paid it. The next day I talked to a girl in Curry and she said it was optional." Jim Scott denied the accusations saying "I never said it was mandatory and I never said it was for key deposit." Elise Moore, Resident Supervisor for North and Main Cunningham added "I think everybody in all the buildings said pretty much the same thing. We asked the people to pay a $5.00 hall fee and we told them it was. for social, recreational, and educational programs for the dorms. Most people seemed really receptive. Nobody was told they had to pay. However, we did not say it was voluntary unless they asked. It's something to benefit the students. It's the way it was done at James Madison, and I believe U.V A. and V.P.I. The students were not meant to think it was mandatory." Gary Gillis, an R.A. for Frazer explained how someone could have been mislead "there were two of us at the desk. The students came in and signed a key receipt form. I picked it up, checked their names and got room condition reports. I would
then have the key in my hand and say that we had a $500 dorm dues." Amy Campell, another R.A. for Frazer said "When students came in they had to fill registration cards, residence hall cards and a damage deposit sheet. After they filled it out they walked into the office. Then I said to the students 'we are collecting a $5.00 dorm dues fee,' Nobody asked where the money was going. I never told them it was voluntary." When asked if other R.A. s also gave out keys while collecting the $5.00 she replied in the affirmative. Because of the misconceptions, many students (largely concentrated in Frazer dormitory.) have been asking about refunds. But Kathy Wilcox and Phyliss Mable, VicePresident of Student Affairs feel that a refund would not be in the student's best interest. Phyliss Mable said "My opinion is that the fee is in their behalf, if we start giving it back, it defeats the purpose." A no-refund policy has been established except for those students moving off campus or transferring to Stubbs
dormitories (which does not have a Hall Council fee). One student in Frazer, however, has received a refund on grounds other than leaving the residence hall. Johnel Brown explained what happened "Before the dorm meeting, about a week after school, I found out that the $5.00 dorm dues was strictly voluntary, and I went down to talk to Jim Scott about getting a refund. I said 'Jim, this is the way I feel...my tuition just went up, I'm rarely here on weekends, I didn't know the fee was strictly voluntary and I feel that I've paid dues enough...I want my $5.00 back'...And I got it." Jim Scott said "The very day that she (Johnel) paid it, she requested the refund and she received it." When asked why she received the refund in light of the no-refund policy Jim Scott answered "I don't remember now, what it was...I honestly don't remember." He added that "no refunds are given out to students who just thought the fee was mandatory...as a rule of thumb, no-refunds unless it is an extreme situation."
Bookstore Gets New Owners Along with the price of albums, steak dinners and grass, student books have escalated into the double digits. But Kathy Orth and Joyce Queensberry, new owners of the Longwood bookstore, remain undeterred. In fact, they seem pleased with their new found business, which, although hit with inflation, has a certain appeal for Longwood students. "When you come in you see something good," said the owners. "Something that represents Longwood... clothes, stuffed animals (Longwood teddy and the campus rat), glass ware (Longwood shotglasses — the old emblem with the dove) or Longwood mugs. "People don't
have to ask for it. They can walk right in and see it." The outlay of the new Longwood bookstore is generally on that scheme — a high visibility for the little extras and in the back well, in the back are the books, arranged according to class number and teacher. The object is convenience and an easier traffic flow for the students. When a student opens a textbook for $20.95 the general impression is one of outrageous profits for somebody. But apparently the somebody is not the bookstore owners. "You really can't make money off of textbooks... the publisher prices
the book ... we get a little discount. To break even, we've got to have a 25 per cent discount ... we never get a 25 per cent discount." Of course that's assuming that every textbook in the store is bought, which is rarely the case. The unsold books are returned to the publishers who can give from 0 per cent to 100 per cent credit, on the original price of the books. "Usually, when the publishers take them back, we lose about 5 percent to 10 percent on the original price." "Giftware is how we make our money, selling textbooks is more (Continued on Page 8)

NEWS BRIEFS After months of dismal prospects and gloomy predictions for the stock market, people have started saying nice things about the future in reaction to the record setting buying spree of recent days. The peak day was, August 26th when 138 million shares were traded in the midst of a four day surge of at least 100 million shares a day. Never before this time has the NYSE experienced a day of over 100 million shares. Only the existence of modern computers, which have sped up the transaction process considerably, made such enormous figures possible. The question, now, is since the market has definitely gone bull will it continue to behave bullishly or is this all a bunch of B.S.? Outside the terminals and telephones of Wall Street the real world would seem to indicate the latter. Auto sales reports are embarrasing and unemployment is still above 9 percent. But at least from somewhere outside the White House, optimism has appeared. The Palestine Liberation Organization is finally out of Beirut, but several problems remain. The Iswelis and the Syrians are still at each others teeth and warfare between the two, should Syria be dumb enough to attempt it, seems iminent. Neither side shows any signs of leaving, which complicates matters further. Also unwilling to leave their present places of residence are 5,000 P.L.O. troops in Tripoli, which is Syrian controlled. Add to this the threat of civil war between the Lebanese themselves, the possibility of harm to 800 nice American Marines, the fact that all parties concerned, especially Israel and Syria, arc getting quite surleyj about the whole thing and you get a nice mess that only the U.S. government would get involved in. And what's worse is that due to everybody having something to say whenever possible, the real problem is hardly discussed; that is, what to do with the Palestinians. Realistically, that

In a re-opened probe accusing Donovan of having made deals with organized crime when he was part owner of the Schiavone Construction Company, Masselli offered damaging evidence to Special Federal Prosecutor Leon Silverman, having to do with getting a $20,000 kickback on a $200,000 loan. Investigators think that the younger Mosselli was killed in order to assure silence from the elder Masselli, who is to appear before a grand jury soon, in accordance with the case.
From On Campus Report The typical college student owns three pairs of athletic shoes, watches television infrequently, and relies on newspapers and magazines for information. Those are some of the results of a national study of students at 25 campuses conducted by Belden Associates for CASS Student Advertising, a national ad representative for college newspapers. The purpose of the scientifically conducted study was to evaluate the college market, the student newspaper audience and the buying habits of college students. The majority (77 per cent) of those surveyed fell into the traditional college age group, 18-24. Eighty-three percent said they read a college newspaper, while 64 percent read a daily city paper. Time captured 41 percent of the survey audience, while Newsweek claimed 30 percent in readership. Favorite monthly magazines included Playboy (24 percent), Cosmopolitan (23 percent) Glamour (20 percent) and Rolling Stone (19 percent). Thirty-six percent said they hadn't watched any television the previous day, while 38 percent had viewed one to three hours of television. Radio was a popular activity — only 11 percent hadn't listened to any radio the previous day — but 78 percent said radiolistening serves as background Although not at the pace that he had predicted, Oaklands Rickey Henderson broke Lou Broch's seemingly impossible stolen
activity.
College students may be in a hurry, but most take time to snip coupons. Seventy-four percent had purchased an item with a coupon in the past year, and 36 percent had mailed in rebate offers. Aside from junk food and alcoholic beverages, students listed milk, cheese, orange juice, soft drinks, canned soups, breakfast cereals, peanut butter and yogurt as prime purchases. An amazing 98 percent of students surveyed own athletic shoes, and the average number of pairs owned was three. Moving up on the transportation scale, 59 percent own a car, and 13 percent plan to buy a car within the next year. Photography is a popular hobby: Forty-nine percent are serious enough about it to own 35mm cameras. Seventy percent of students own stereos and 98 percent attend movies. For almost half of those surveyed, the money used to make these purchases came from their own pockets. Forty-seven percent said their discretionary funds came from their own job or other income, and not from parents. Almost 90 percent had checking accounts, 64 percent had savings accounts and 19 percent had a Visa credit card.

It has always been my opinion that one of the jobs of the head resident and other members of the residence hall staff is to establish an atmosphere of honesty and trust and cooperation between themselves and the members of the residence hall. Trust is also, as I understand it, an integral part of Longwood's Honor Code. Therefore, when I am lied to by a member of the residence hall staff, it does cast a cynical light on his system of trust we here at Longwood are supposed to be living under. Of what incident am I speaking? As a resident of Frazer Hall, when I was checking in, I was informed that I was to pay a $5.00 activity fee. I was also informed that this fee was mandatory and if I did not pay it I would not be given my room key. Since that day I have been informed that the fee was not
mandatory but optional and I can only assume that the threat about the keys was a form of blackmail that was thought effective by the Frazer residence hall staff, which, indeed it was.Now I agree that five dollars is not a lot of money but the money is not the issue here. The issue is that I was lied to and that I was denied my freedom of choice in this case. This bothers me since being over 18 years of age I believe I have the mental capacity to make a decision of this kind. I also think that being over 181 should have the right to decide what to do with my own money. Thirdly I am an honest person and I do not think it is too much to expect honesty in my dealings with others. I know for a fact that this letter expresses not only my opinion but the opinion of numerous others in Frazer Hall. So get your act together Frazer Renee Ginader

Face Off Coppola And Capital Punishment So Coppola is dead, a martyr and a murderer — does it matter which? He made the books by being i - executed in the state of Virginia. And the living have some questions to answer. Was it worth his life? Does the state, any state have such a right? Practically and ideally capital punishment is a mistake. Practically speaking, capital punishment is supposed to act as a deterrent, but the facts in other states prove different. In the Gregg vs. Georgia decision (July, 1976) the United States Supreme Court opened the door to the death chambers which furman vs. Georgia (June 1972) had closed. As it affirmed the constitutionality of some executions, the high court conceded also that there was no conclusive evidence that the use of capital punishment caused any net reductions in murder. Since 1924, Georgia has legally executed more people than any other state. Year after year it has also had the most murders. 17.4 per its 100,000 population, a percentage persistently mounting. When five years of litigation ended in 1972, with the threat of the death penalty being definitely removed, many people
predicted that Georgia's unmatched rate of criminal homicides would rise faster. It didn't. In fact, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's uniform crime reports, from 1973 to 1977 the rate dropped from 17.4 per 100,000 to 11.7 per 100,000 or more than 30 percent. In Florida when capital punishment was banned, the same type of results were evident. From 1973 to 1977 there was a one-third (approximately 33 percent) drop in the homicidal rate. Capital punishment does not and never will act as a deterrent, in fact, it seems to act as a spark to the homicidal rate. The answer to this irony may be found in Socrate's analogy of the state as parent. If we, as willing members of the state condone execution, we are more or less like parents, setting an example for children — one can kill. Before, without the death penalty there is a mental barrier to murder — it simply isn't done. Period. No questions asked. With capital punishment we proclaim "Murder is wrong, except...when we do it."
• •••*•*•••* Frank Coppola has become a household word and through oblique reports and melodramatic appeals to our sense of humanity, a sort of hero or martyr has emerged. There have been pictures of the electric chair and detailed explanations of how an execution is carried out. There have even been accounts of Coppola's donation of his eyes to science because he held such compassion for mankind. Might I remind you that this man is a convicted murderer? Does anybody remember the name Muriel Hatchell? (Who?!!) Just for the record, she was one of those people Coppola cared about so selflessly. It was her home that Coppola and three Cohorts broke into. She was the woman who Coppola tied up and whose head was smashed on the floor. She was the woman whose five teeth were found where they'd been knocked out of her mouth. Muriel Hatchell was the woman who went into convulsions and drowned in her own vomit. Somehow identities have been shifted and because of psychologically schemed coverage, people began to sympathize with the criminal, and oddly enough he is staged as the victim. Once again capital punishment is the issue and Virginia is divided. Opponents of capital
punishment insist that the proponents are barbaric and lack concern for human life.Au contraire. It is appropriate to point out that it is the lives of the victims and the would-be victims that the proponents of capital punishment are concerned with. Everyone is united in the cause to find the infallible deterrent to crime. Opponents of capital punishment insist that prison is the answer. Prison-term sentencing has become a farce in itself, since life in prison 50 years and 25 means 10, maybe less if a criminal opts to bargain with justice. And even if prisoners were required to serve the entire term as sentenced, it is important to consider the 72 percent recidivism rate. Seventy-two percent — that is 72 percent of incarcerated criminals released to the prison for similar or even worse violations. And as far as convicted criminals guilty of brutal, vile murders, what then do the opponents suggest? Life in prison? Or is that 25 years? And how does 25 years — that's 9125 weeks — even remotely justify the massacre of another innocent human life. Even the quick death of the electric chair can never be punishment enough for the merciless butcherings that take place. Then there's famous but quite worn cliche "two wrongs don't make a right." I suppose then that releasing a criminal with (Continued on P

Welcome, Lancer Edition By Cindy Corell Following the footsteps and beyond of such celebrated college show choirs as The New Virginians and The Madisonians, Longwood's own Lancer Edition is picking up where it left off in May and moving still forward. The Music Department's youngest performance company finally came to be last semester into an area of music still being pioneered across America. Though primarily titled a show choir, Lancer Edition is a combination of show choir and vocal jazz ensemble. A show choir performs contemporary music in a Broadway chorus line setting; a vocal jazz ensemble performs much more difficult music with simpler choreography. Lancer Edition performs popular music such as a Fame medley and "Jubilation", with eye-catching choreography and costume plus more creative vocal jazz numbers, such as those by Phil Mattson and Kirby Shaw, which require more talent and discipline from the members than would the format of an ordinary show choir. Unlike the other Longwood choirs, Lancer Edition will be
doing a complete variety of pop, blues, gospel and jazz styles of music plus choreography. Though at this time in the semester they are developing a routine which includes all of the above styles of music plus dance, they are neither a group of singers who dance, nor are they a dance company who just happen to sing. Instead they are a group of performers who do both arts justice. Basically the way the choir works, according to director Lee Egbert, is that the students learn to sing the music, and then student choreographers take over to finish the show. Their rehearsals are at regular classtimes, late Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. They will also be working with several experienced choreographers from the Virginia Beach area to insure variety in dancing styles. Their performances this semester include an Oktoberfest concert and they are now awaiting confirmation of an invitation to play at the State Convention of the Virginia Music Educators Association (VMEA) this November in Richmond. Brand new show choirs from Old Dominion University and
Roanoke College will also be performing there. For this performance, Lancer Edition will be backed by the Longwood Jazz Ensemble directed by Mr. Allen Butler. The choir hopes to gradually grow into building their own instrumental combo with the help of Mr. Butler. Their accompaniment now consists of pianist, guitarist, two percussionists, and they are looking for competent bass players to audition. They also need more mens' voices to audition. The group, in auditions, take all majors and though some dance and a little sightreading is required of all singer-dancers, singing is the primary ability tested. The roster of the 1982 fall semester Lancer Edition is as follows: Soprano. Sabra Seneff, Lisa Bowers, Louise Rizzo, Sonja Held and Joanne Mosca; Alto; Brenda Davis, Amy Thomas, Kathy Hartung, and Kim Kenworthy; Tenor: John Scott, Jeff Thomas, Mike Pentall, and Mike Berry; and bass: Gordon Parr, Horace Scruggs, and Mike Foster. Jeanne Drewer is pianist, David Pool, guitarist, and percussionists are Arthur Johnson and Ricky Allen.
Archeology Field School Begins New Excavations By GEREE LYELL "It's near disbelieve that Longwood College students could be lured into a situation where they would be performing the most ardousendexhausting forms of physical labor, while at the s*me time being expected to exercise their intellectual abilities, and all of this in one hundred degree, temperatures with hordes of mosquitoes buzzing around their ears" . . . said Dr. James William Jordan, director of the Longwood Summer Field School. But the students came for over 10 weeks forming their own "miniature city." Now in its fourth year of existence, the Longwood Summer Field School in Archeology has grown from a group of 13 students who worked five weeks during the summer of 1980 at an archeological site located in the Cumberland State Forest to a crew of 125 who worked during this summer at a site located near the Ixmgwood campus. Thirty-three of the 125member crew were Ixmgwood students; 48 were Governor's School students, high school juniors selected for . their outstanding academic record in
Virginia schools; and 44 were participants in the Elderhostel Program, persons ranging in age from 65 years to 86 years who were attending summer school at Longwood. In the field both sessions of summer school, Dr. Jordan began excavation at the SmithTaylor Mound site. The site, located approximately 14 miles from the Longwood campus on the Appomattox River, is believed to have been an agricultural village used by Indians living in this area 1000 years ago, and has been registered with the Virginia Research Center for Archaeology at Williamsburg as Site Number 44PE26. The existence of the mound site was first brought to Dr. Jordan's attention by Robert E. Taylor, a Farmville businessman and close friend of the landowner, Robert A. Smith. Mr. Smith entered into an agreement with Longwood College and Dr. Jordan, giving the Field School permission to begin excavation of the mound. He developed a keen intereste in the preparations for the "dig" and as time drew near for the excavation to begin, became more enthusiastic. An ironic and
Tom Deluca entranced the audience at Wygal. Photo by Ricky Watkins tragic aspect of this part of the story is that Mr. Smith died June 3, just two days after work at his archeological site began. During their work this summer at the Smith-Taylor Mound Site, participants found nine types of projectile points, ranging in age from 8000 years before the present to as recently as 300 years ago. The most valuable find was a Dalton projectile point, 8000 years old, and the only one found in this area — Piedmont archeological region of Virginia. In addition, many other stone blades and tools were found along with 600 sherds (pieces) of pottery. The Archeology Field School was assisted this summer by members of Longwood College's first Summer Field School in Biology, directed by Dr. David A. Breil. The Biology Field (Continued on Page8&
Hypnotize Me, Please By GWEN STEPHENSON "Hypnotize me, please." "God, what a wierd business !" That's what Tom Deluca had to say about his job; comedian and hypnotist on the United States college circuit. Mr. Deluca was here at Longwood last Wednesday night. He performed for 24 hours in Wygal Avditorium to a full house. And the audience participation was unusual. You see Tom hypnotized eleven of our own student body. He called the process somnambulism, and claimed that one hour under his spell would produce an effect similar to eight hours of untroubled sleep. He made the students believe they were extremely hot, and then very cold. He took them out on the Caribbean; fishing. Some of the girls in the group squealed at having to bait a hook. They cast their lines; and the ones in the deepest trances had to be physically restrained from falling out of their chairs. Each person caught a huge fish, and reeled it in as fast as they could.
doctor, and archeologist! Before Deluca let the subjects wake up and return to their seats he put various hypnotic suggestions into their neaas. une poor male kept insisting that his name really was Mary Jane. The rest of the audience enjoyed this thoroughly. One girl could not remember her name at all, and three others could speak normally until they were asked their names — then their tongues seemed stuck to the roofs of their mouths. Mr. Deluca ended spectacularly by having four of his subjects turn into famous exotic dancers at the mention of the word, "Chicago".
In addition to his hypnotic exhibition, Tom Deluca also did a fantastic and funny comic parody on ESP. His particular brand was called BSP (Figure that one out yourselves). He included a slide show satire on how he became influenced by extraterestrials in his youth, and thus became an expert in BSP.

Ten Little Indians
Zepped
By CHRIS YOUNG On September 25, 1980, drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham was found dead at guitarist Jimmy Page's home after an all night drinking spree. Shortly afterwards, the remaining members of the band sent a telegram to the press. It stated: "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with the sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were." ( Parade Magazine) With this news, the phenomenon known as Led Zeppelin was now a memory. Since the death of Bonham, everyone has been keeping an eye on the boys hoping that they might regroup. Rumor had it that Zepp members Page and singer Robert Plant were to join with XYes members Alan White and Chris Squire to form XYZ. (XYes and Zepplin members, I guess) That rumor never materialized into anything substantial. Recentlv however, there has been some stirring in Zeppeland.

Jimmy Page has written and produced the sound track for Death Wish H. And more notably, vocalist Robert Plant has just released a solo album called Pictures at Eleven on the Swan Song label. By now most of you have probably heard several cuts from this album. For those of you who haven't Plant is stunning as usual. New guitarist Robbie Blunt is good, but he's no Jimmy Page. The biggest difference you'll notice (or should notice) is the drumming. This album has two great drummers, Phil Collins (Genesis) and Cozey Powell (Rainbow, Michael Schenker Band), but only the cuts with Powell have that vintage Bonham "thump." Pictures is still a must for any Zeppemaniac. Except for a recent live appearance by Page and Plant with, believe it or not, Foreigner, it doesn't look like the Zepp boys have been doing anything to revive Led Zeppelin. And it doesn't look like they want to either. As Jimmy Page said in a recent interview "It would be silly to even think about going on with Zeppelin; It would have been an insult to John."

The public is cordially invited to attend the recital at no charge. Stevens, who currently teaches piano at the College of William and Mary, has achieved national acclaim for her performance of 20th century American music and her interpretations of Schumann. Her recent concert in Washington, D.C., honoring
Aaron Coplans, was attended by Copland and Broadcast on National Public Radio. She has given premiere performances of works by such leading American composers as Samuel Adler, David Diamond, Vivian Fine, Andrew Imbrie, and Hugo Weisgall. A number of these works were written for her. Recent recital appearances have included the National Gallery in Washington, Jordan Hall in Boston, and colleges and universities throughout the country. In 1983, she will present
a concert honoring Elliott Carter in his 75th year, for which she has received a grant from the Virginia Arts Commission. A summa cum laude graduate of Vassar College, Stevens received the M.A. from the University of California at Berkeley and the Doctor of Music from Boston University. While in Massachusetts she twice held fellowships at Tanglewood and taught at Williams College. She has also studied in Israel, Germany and Switzerland.

The tournament will mark the beginning of what Lancer Coach Rich Posipanko hopes will be Longwood's finest season ever. Defending Longwood Invitational champ VCU faces UNCC Saturday at 12:00 in the
tournament opener while the Lancers take on Richmond at 2:30 in first round action at First Avenue Field. Sunday at 11:00 the losers will play a consolation contest while the winners meet for the title at 1:30.

Todd Captures Two Tennis Titles Longwood senior John Todd, a member of the men's tennis team the past two years, was the lone double winner in the second Longwood-Southside Tennis Classic held at Longwood Thursday through Sunday. None of the defending champions who won last September were able to repeat. Todd took a hard-fought, three set win over Jerry Cole to win the men's singles title Sunday afternoon 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 and then teamed with Longwood doubles partner Bryan Kersey to win the men's doubles over Cole and Dozer Watkins 6-4, 7-5. Todd won doubles last year with a different partner. In winning the doubles Todd and Kersey battled back in the second set after being down 5-2. They won five straight games to take the match. In women's doubles Fran Arehart and Nan O'Connor, both of Farmville, pulled off something of a surprise by topping the defending champs Angie Coppedge and Joan Tipton 6-3,6-2. Tipton and Coppedge had been seeded number one. Mrs. Tipton, however, added another title when she teamed with Dean Vassar to defeat Longwood students Carl Schwab and Tammy Schmelter 6-3,1-6, 63 in the mixed doubles finals. In junior vet men's (35 and
over) singles Jerry Yospin topped Howard Estes 6-2, 6-1 to take the crown. Tournament Director Carrol Bruce noted that over 60 participants took part in the tournament as compared to 40 last year. SEMI-FINAL AND FINAL RESULTS Men's singles: Semi-finals — Cole d. Bates 7-6,3-6,7-5; Todd d, Kersey 6-3, 6-2. Finals- Todd d. Cole M, 6-3,75. Junior Vet Singles: Semi-finals — Yospin d.

Tedmore Henry (14 goals, 5 assists) and Ben Kim (14 goals, 3 assists). "VCU has to be the favorite," said Longwood coach Rich Posipanko. "They've got a lot of people back and they're the defending champs. We feel like our chances are pretty good, too. We have played well in the past against Richmond and VCU." The UNCC 49ers were 6-12-0 last season, but return eight starters. North Carolina will be making its first appearance in the Longwood Invitational. Richmond, 2-15 last season, fell 54 to Longwood in last year's Invitational. The Spiders were a young team last season and figure to be improved in '82. Posipanko has great expectations for his 1962 edition. With several impressive showings in preseason scrimmages, the Lancers have convinced their coach that this could be "the year."

SPORTS CALENDAR

Longwood will have more talent and experience than any squad in history, but still might have difficult time matching last year's 11-4-3 record because of a beefed-up scheudle. Among the 1962 opponents are five Divison I teams and eight foes which were ranked in their region last year. Among the new faces on the Lancer schedule are College Division State Champ Radford and Division I State Runner-up Williams & Mary. Longwood will also face Virginia Tech, Randolph-Macon, Maryland Baltimore County and Mt. St. Mary's. Nine starters return from the team which averaged 3.4 goals per game in 1961. The forward line should be strong again with starters Gus Leal and Tim Brennan back in action. Leal, AllSouth in 1981, scored 22 goals and has 40 in his career. Brennan scored eight goals last season. Freshman Brian Allmendinger

By SHERYL TAYLOR The 1982 Longwood Field Hockey Team will be starting its season on September 15, against William and Mary. This year's team consists of the largest group of returning seniors ever (9): Mindy Allman, Betty Jo Casey, Lorrie Garber, Mary Holup, Janet Long, Cherie Stevens, Chris Mayer, Mary Milne, and Jeannie Wakelyn. Other veterans include three juniors: Terry Chumley, Jaudon Conkwright, and Rala Heinen; and six sophomores: Shirley Campbell, Pamela Ellsworth, Mary Garrison, Ann Holland, Lisa Seivold, and Colleen Stiles. According to Coach Bette Harris, "This is the strongest group of freshmen to come during my four years of coaching at Longwood." Freshmen players are: Sharon
Bruce, Debbie Dameron, Mary Dey, Karen Garrett, Susan Groff, Lorraine Hall, Karen Kewer, Tamara Marshall, Janet Pauley and Lesley Rapoza. The Lady Lancers have dropped from Division I to Division II but their schedule will still primarily consist of Division I schools. In their opening game the hockey team will be facing the tough Division I William & Mary Indians. The Lancers lost to the Indians in regular season play last year but redeemed themselves in the state tournament by beating William & Mary. It was the first Longwood win against William and Mary in seven years. Longwood's field hockey team has a lot of experience and leadership this year and looks forward to a very successful season.

SPORTS Lady Golfers Host Tournament Longwood opens its 1962 fall women's golf season Friday (Sept. 10), hosting the 6th annual Longwood Invitational Tournament, an 'event which annually attracts the top field of collegiate women golfers of any tournament in Virginia. Three-time defending champ Marshall will join with Longwood, James Madison, William & Mary, Meredith and North Carolina-Wilmington for the three-day, 54-hole tournament at Longwood Golf Course, a 6,042 yard layout which plays to a par 73. While Marshall has won the
tournament the past three years, the defending champs will be missing top golfer Tammie Green, runner-up the last 2 years to medalist Mary Wilkinson of William & Mary. Both Green and Wilkinson have graduated. Marshall should be considered the favorite once again, according to Longwood coach Barbara Smith, but any of the tournament competitors appears capable of challenging for the title. Leading the way for Longwood for the 4th year in a row will be senior Robin Andrews. A twotime AIAW Division II All-

IAA News ByTRISHASWANSON Men's flag football began September 6 with ten teams participating. Games will be played on Her field. Women's flag football entry blanks are due in by September 9. There is also a mandatory captains meeting on September 13. Due to a conflict with the Longwood Lancer Club, the Intramural Golf tournament will not be held on September 18. Entry blanks are still due on September 15 and at the participants meeting on
September 16 a date for the tournament will be decided. Start getting teams together for the Anything Goes Relay. This is a co-ed sport consisting of two males and two females on each team.

Representation by each organization will count as points towards the All Sports Trophy.
American, Andrews helped Longwood finish second and third in the nation in Division II the past two years. Over the summer she finished as runner-up behind Jane Mack of Richmond in the Virginia State Amateur Tournament. Also back from last season are junior Sue Morgan and sophomores Donna Turner and Lanie Gerken. Morgan made the top four most of last season while Gerken performed well early last fall before being knocked out by an injury. She appears healthy after sitting out spring semester. Coach Smith, who has led Longwood to six state titles over the past 12 years, is counting on freshman Holli Hudson to fill one of the top four positions. Hudson had a standout nigh schc ol career at Brandon High, wmch has one of the top prep golf programs in
Florida. Other newcomers to the team include: freshmen Mary Semones and Margaret Melone and sophomore Carol Rhoades. Concerning Longwood's prospects for the coming season, Dr. Smith pointed to a tough schedule which includes mostly Division I opponents. "We're facing a Division I schedule," she said. "There just aren't many Division II teams nearby for us to play." Now in NCAA Division II, Longwood will not have a national Division II Tournament to shoot for as was the case in AIAW. The NCAA plans to hold a Division I Tournament only in women's golf with several spots open to individual qualifiers in Divisions II and III. "I'm enjoying working with the team," saidthe coach. "They are

Riding By BETH WILEY The riding team had a fairly large number of interested riders at tryouts last week. Twelve people competed for one of the four positions available on the team. Longwood can expect to see some talented new riders at up-coming shows based on the performance of these 12 people. Coach Whitlock has not made a final decision and is extending tryouts another day to do so. Good luck to you all. Longwood will co-host the first show at Mary Washington September 26.
Face Off (Continued from Page 3) even the slightest chance that yet another life will be lost is somehow justified. The law is to protect the innocent and to punish the offender. Used uniformly, under extensive regulation and consideration, capital punishment would prove effective in the reduction of the senseless slayings of human life. "If we had certainty, we would not have risks. We do not have certainty. If we have risks — and we do — better to risk the life of the convicted man than risk the life of an indefinite number of innocent victims who might iurvive if he were executed" William F.Buckley, Jr.
