Sean Marsee's spread. Radical neck surgery would now be needed. Gently Dr. Hook recommended the severest option: removing the lower jaw on the right side as well as all lymph nodes, muscles and blood vessels except the life-sustaining carotid artery. There might be some sinking but the chin would support the general planes of the face. Betty Marsee began to cry. Sean was being asked to approve his own mutilation — Sean who was so fastidious about his appearance that he'd even swallow his dip rather than he caught spitting tobacco juice. They sat in silence for ten minutes. Then, dimly, she heard him say, "Not the jawbone. Don't take the jawbone." "Okay, Sean," Dr. Hook said softly. "But the rest; that's the least we should do." • On June 20 Sean underwent a second operation, which lasted eight hours. That same month 150 students and teachers at Talihina High assembled to honor their most outstanding athlete. Sean could not be there to receive his award. Miraculously, Sean snapped back. When Dr. Hook saw him that August, he showed no trace of his ordeal except the white incision scar. Five weeks of radiation therapy were behind him. Sean greeted his doctor with enthusiasm, plainly happy to be alive. But in October, however, Sean started having headaches. A CAT scan showed twin tentacles of fresh malignancy, one snaking down his back, the other curling under the base of his brain. Sean had his third operation in November 1983. It was the jawbone operation he had feared — and more. After ten hours on the operating table, he had four huge drains coming from a footlong crescent wound, a breathing tube sticking out of a hole in his throat, a feeding tube through his nose, and two tubes in his arm veins. Sean looked at Betty as if to say, My God, Mom, I didn't know it was going to hurt like this. The Marsees brought Sean home for Christmas. Even then,

Ambassadors:

SmokeleSS Death The Angry Red Spot with its hard white core was the size of a half-dollar. It belonged, thought Dr. Carl Hook, in the mouth of a 75-year-old who had been dipping snuff since the age of three, not on the tongue of the high school boy who sat across from him. "I'm sorry, Sean," said the Ada, Okla., throat specialist. "It doesn't look good. We'll have to do a biopsy." Sean Marsee was stunned. He didn't smoke or drink. You couldn't and win 28 medals running anchor leg on the 400meter relay. A tapered five-footfive, 130 pounds, Sean had always taken excellent care of his body: watching his diet, lifting weights, running five miles a day six months of the year. Now this. How could it be? True, he was never without a dip. He used up a can of snuff, a type of smokeless tobacco, every day and a half, holding it in his mouth to get a nicotine jolt without smoking. It was popular among high-school athletes who didn't want to break training. "But I didn't know snuff could be that bad for you," Sean said. "No warning label or anything. And all those ads on TV . . ." Eighteen-year-old Sean had been secretly using "smokeless" — chewing tobacco briefly, then snuff — since he was 12. His mother, Betty, a registered nurse, had hit the roof when she found out. Didn't he know tobacco was hazardous, smoke or no smoke? Now Dr. Hook was saying, "I'm afraid we'll have to remove that part of your tongue, Sean." The high-school senior was silent. "Can I still run in the state track meet this weekend?" he finally asked. "And graduate next month?" Dr. Hook nodded. On May 16, 1983, the operation was performed at the Valley View Hospital in Ada. More of Sean's tongue had to be removed than Dr. Hook had anticipated. Worse, the tumor biopsy was positive. Once the swelling in his mouth went down, Sean agreed to see a radiation therapist. Before therapy could begin, however, a newly swollen lymph node was found in Sean's neck, an ominous sign that the cancer had

he remained optimistic, until the day in January when he found lumps in the left side of his neck. Later, Betty answered when the hospital phoned the results of another biopsy. Sean knew the news was bad by her silent tears as she listened. When she hung up, he was in her arms, and for the first time since the awful nightmare started, grit-tough Sean Marsee began to sob. After several minutes, he straightened and said, "Don't worry. I'm going to be fine." Like the winning runner he was, he still had faith in his finishing kick. Almost to the end Sean insisted on caring for himself, packing his wound and cleaning and reinserting his breathing tube several times a day. One day Sean confessed to Betty that he still craved snuff. "I catch myself thinking," he said, "I'll just reach over and have a dip." Then he added that he wished he could visit the high school locker room to show the athletes "what you look like when you use it." His appearance, he knew, would be persuasive. A classmate who had come to see him fainted dead away. One friend who didn't flinch was John O'Dell, then 29, a former football player from the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes. John asked Sean, when he became unable to speak, if he'd like to pencil something to share with young athletes "later." Sean wrote two brief messages. One was a simple declaration of Christian faith. The other was a plea: Don't dip snuff. Early on February 25, 1984, Sean smiled a tired smile at his sister Marian and flashed an index finger skyward. An hour later he died. There are now 6 million to 10 million consumers of snuff, and sales are rising 8 percent annually. "The more I dipped, the more I liked it," said Paul Hughes, 18, a six-four football cocaptain from North Easton, Mass. "Makes you feel - you know, calms you down. When I tried to stop, I couldn't." Alan Lawrence, his co-captain of the (Continued on Page 9)

By KIM SETZER Remember when you came to Longwood your junior or senior year of high school for a tour which was given by a student? Or what about the student from Longwood who came to your school on college night? These students are Longwood Ambassadors. The purpose of Longwood Ambassadors is to involve selected students in the goals of advancing Longwood College's image and support. As an organization, the Ambassadors have been designated as official host and hostesses for all college relations and activities. In addition, they provide the leadership for campus tours and student recruitment programs. They provide the volunteer person power for the alumni and parent's annual fund phone-athon. The Longwood Ambassadors are available to all organizations and departments as official host and hostesses for all Longwood activities. A long-range goal of the Ambassadors is to be the leadership group of the campus that builds student pride, involvement and support for the benefit of the institution. In addition, the Ambassadors intend to expand their fund-raising activities to gain financial support from entities other than alumni and parents for generating school funds for the students of Ixmgwood. The membership of the Longwood Ambassadors consists of a maximum of 65 members. Right now, there are approximately 50 members. This fall, 21 new members joined the organization. There are membership campaigns at the beginning of each semester. It was established in the Fall of 1982. The requirements for membership are: (1) Must be a currently enrolled student 2) Must have a cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.3 (3) Must have been enrolled in Longwood for at least one semester with exception of incoming transfer students

Leaders There are ten students on an executive council and there are five advisors. These advisors include: Don Lemish, VicePresident of Institutional Advancement; Barbara Stonikinis, Co-ordinating advisor; Candy Dowdy of Admissions; Nancy Shelton, Alumni and Paula Clay, Institutional Advancement. Don Lemish, of the Ambassadors, states, "Ambassadors are students who want to advance this college and want to give of themselves for the benefit of the institution as a whole." Ambassadors are involved in every official social function on and off the campus. They personally call every student who is officially admitted to Longwood College. They call 12,000 people asking for pledges to the college. One of the greatest (Continued on Page 8)

On Our Rotunda

Recently the various schweenies of the Longwood community have reared back on their collective hind legs to shout "Hey, The Rotunda sucks!" "Trash!" and "Hey Raio, Wasamatta you? Why come such an abundance of garbage in The Rotunda?" Illiterate students write letters to our staff complaining that they cannot tell when we are serious. Faculty members, apparently unprepared for a more relevant topic, lecture their classes on the sorry state of The Rotunda. Even the administration has let their feelings be known; a Rotunda staff member has had his room searched for bathroom graffiti and I have been informed that The Rotunda books must be audited on the first day of every month. On the other hand, hundreds of students have approached our staff with compliments and this week we will be increasing the number of copies printed by 400 over last year's average. It seems that a love-hate situation has developed. Isn't that neato? What follows may seem to be an excuse for why The Rotunda is such a rag, it is not; the small Rotunda staff is proud of each issue published this year â€” just because we don't send copies along with our resumes, doesn't mean that we are not proud. Last spring, when I was sentenced to the position of Editor-inChief, I began to picture the new, improved Rotunda. We would double the advertising rates, quadruple the advertising staff, thereby having more money for more pages. We would have a pullout humor section every three weeks or so, The Cowpie. I set out recruiting staff, three staffs actually, one for business, one for Cowpie and one (the biggest and most important) for news. The business end has been great. Although still losing money on

each issue, every week of sales breaks the record set the week before. We may even have enough money to print a paper every week. What a concept! The Cowpie staff, although small, is hard-working enough to get the job done. Sure, some of the material in Cowpie may warrant a "PG" rating, but we're all of age here and hey, that crap is funny. Then there is the news staff. This group is potentially over 3,000 strong. It includes students, faculty and administration. What I get from this group is called "diddly-squat." Sparky Lyle defines this term as a pitcher who doesn't have good stuff. To me it meant no paper last week. This problem is faced not only by The Rotunda; apathy is a Longwood problem. The SGA battles it every day. Apathy, not alcohol, is the reason why students miss class, don't get involved, don't take pride in Longwood. Heck, we don't even have a yearbook! As editor, I must decide what gets printed. My choices are limited. If you had a choice between blank space on the front page or a picture of a toilet on a sign, which would you choose? Do you think there would have been a toilet on page one if I had an interview with the new Dean of Students (or any of the other 40 stories assigned had materialized)? Of course not. I have been forced to use what was meant for Cowpie to fill space in The Rotunda. I don't walk around saying, "hey we need something stupid for this week's front page." And unlike last year's editor, I do not have the unlimited energy to write half of the copy. Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder why I spend 30 hours per week putting out a paper for you soft-headed, pencil-neck ignoramuses anyway. Maybe it's not worth the convertible Mercedes that The Rotunda is buying for me next week (in the audit, it will look like "office supplies"). It is only possible for us to print what is written for us. And considering the personality types that make up The Rotunda staff, an occasional tasteless humor section is inevitable. I cannot be removed as editor (as some have suggested) unless I "substantially disrupt" the learning process of Longwood, the 1st amendment of the U. S. Constitution sees to that. So don't even think about it. You couldn't find anybody to be editor anyway. Simply put: If you don't like what you read, write. If you don't write, shutup, because you are the cause of the problem.

BLOCK PARTY (Her Field)

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, As members of last year's Alcohol Task Force, we feel compelled to reply to the recent Rotunda editorial attack on our committee's recommendations and the particularly objectionable remarks directed against our committee chair, Barb Gorski. Unfortunately Mr. Raio's column contained so many errors and distortions that space will permit us to point out only the most offensive.

1. The editorial claimed that the committee was dominated by "jughead" administrators. Mr. Raio attended at least two of our meetings before apparently losing interest. He should remember that student government leaders comprised the largest element of the committee, while faculty and administrative staff (including Amy Thompson, then R.E.C. for Frazer) made up the rest. On the question of eliminating Thursday night Lower Dining Hall parties, the vote was unanimous. 2. The editorial charged that the committee was bullied and manipulated by "Soviet-style" tactics. Such a claim is absurd. On the contrary, even when we disagreed with Barb Gorski on particular issues, we could not have been other than impressed by her fairness and concern for the welfare of students.

3. Mr. Raio seems to believe that we were given a choice of banning "kegs or Thursday night parties. Again the claim is baseless; the issues were entirely separate and at no time did the committee chair or any member suggest a linkage. 4. The editorial charged that we have created a tangle of new alcohol regulations to further burden the lives of Longwood students. At last there is a shred of truth to the claim. The committee's task was to make our alcohol regulations conform to those being instituted by the state. Had we banned kegs from the dormitories altogether, we could have put in place regulations which would have been much clearer and less complicated than those finally recommended by the committee. Yet the committee was swayed by the outpouring of student sentiment against the elimination of kegs. Consequently we struggled to form what are admittedly complicated regulations, but ones which are as liberal as Virginia alcohol laws will allow. Longwood's alcohol policy is as lenient as any in the state of Virginia and more lenient than those of most academic institutions. It should be noted that some of the nation's leading institutions have banned alcohol entirely on their campuses, e.g., University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin.

The Rotunda Page 3

In sum, your assault on our committee's efforts and on a college administration which is committed to protecting student interests, was both uninformed and unwarrented. Sincerely, Sandra K. Cross James W. Crowl Editor's Reply: 1. "Mr. Raio" (I like the sound of that) attended one meeting as a representative of the SGA, I went to make sure that you guys weren't doing anything radical. You weren't, those meetings were boring, until that fateful meeting shortly after dawn on reading day. 2. No Comment. 3. I am no idiot. I would never write such a harsh editorial without checking my information with at least two sources. This week my two task force member sources have told me that they stick to their stories. I stick to my story. 4. Janet Greenwood says the same thing. 1 still do not understand how outlawing Thursday night parties is in compliance with any state law. A Virginia state agency (A.B.C.) sells liquor on Thursday evenings and all the bars are open. What's the deal? Maybe I am an idiot, will someone please point out this elusive Virginia law to me? In sum, I am glad that you guys took the time to give the

Oktoberfest By BRUCESOUZA It was so hot he was wearing his Bermuda shorts. Around his neck were a cheap pair of binoculars, and clutched in his right hand were two folding deck chairs. He and Jane would sit and watch while the kids would stand or sit on the grass. Five minutes later John was trying not to trip over his drooping lower lip. Meet John D. Doe, an average income Virginian with three kids, one a freshman attending Longwood College. This was the first family visit to Longwood, and by 10 a.m. that Saturday morning they were on their way. As John was driving he thought "I finally get to see where all my extra bucks go." They arrived just in time to get front row seats for the 1984 Oktoberfest parade. It was called the OOOP parade - "Our Outrageous Oktoberfest Parade." It was soon after the parade started that the problem with John's lip began to occur. It was soon after the parade started that the parade ended! Whether or not the last "parade" was actually a parade is still being debated by the Guinness Book of World Records. The only thing "Outrageous" about last year's parade was its shocking shortness, and its lack of any form or function. The parade lasted at most 5 minutes, and was largely comprised of students in street clothes who looked like they had been bribed to participate in the unsightly debacle. Then, to add insult to injury, the organizers of Oktoberfest spent a good portion of 30 minutes congratulating and thanking everyone in sight for a job well done. The purpose here is not to attack the members of Geist or those who spend considerable time and effort to organize Oktoberfest. They were plagued like The Rotunda with the job of trying to motivate people while offering no material rewards for time and effort. Nevertheless, 1 question the institution of Oktoberfest itself. Certainly it is painfully clear that Oktoberfest is used as a substitute for what many schools refer to as homecoming. Like other schools, we here at the "Wood" also need a time when the alumni can return, parents can visit, and students can enjoy a midsemester break above the average weekend. So, sometime ago an inventive Longwood administrator had to come up with a theme for such a time. Why Oktoberfest"' Because it's in October, stupid!

Unfortunately, what we do here at Longwood has very little in common wilth our European namesake. One could have easily forgiven the OOOP parade and the unusually uninventive midway booths, if we could have at least had a decent beer garden. Last year's beer garden, simply put, was an atrocity. It consisted of a beer truck and a roped off area of the street, with no where to sit down. Everyone was required to drink within the "beer cage." This arrangement seemed ignorant considering the availability of the seldom used grassy area in front of the Bedford Building. Naw! Everybody knows it's much more fun to drink beer while standing on steamy pavement. This institution tries to deny the drinking of alcoholic beverages at Oktoberfest, when in fact this is largely what Oktoberfest is based on. Instead of being open all day long, the Bier Garten is only open 1 hour and a half. You get one beer and then get hustled into a roped-off area like P.O.W. If this is Oktoberfest, where is the German food, music and pavillion-covered picnic tables where young and old can share food, drink and conversation? The fact is that our Oktoberfest has very little semblance to a real German Oktoberfest. The students get denied by silly rules and the attitudes of those who are in charge of Oktoberfest; Witness: The administration making an unsuccessful attempt to nix the beer mug from our 1985 Oktoberfest T-shirts. The beer mug held by the Bier Meister would theoretically encourage drinking. How ODD!! A Bier Meister with a beer mug! What else would he be holding — a can of Pepsi Free? At the same time the theme of Oktoberfest is "Cheers To Oktoberfest" and shows two mugs clinking together. Oh! it's just a small contradiction. In fact, the whole idea of Oktoberfest in Farmville turns into a mutated cultural contradiction. The hardline by the administration the last couple of years, has been to de-emphasize and decrease alcohol usage. Yet the biggest event of the year (next to the sorority walk) is called Oktoberfest, which by all accounts has obvious drinking connotations. We should either screw the rules for a day and have a party, or change the name of Oktoberfest, and stop insulting its historical significance. Oh yeah! If you don't want your folks to turn into John Or Jane Doe just call them after Oktoberfest - it's the next best thing to being there.

Dieting, The Modern Torture Device ByKIMSETZER Diets are funny things. People diet for a variety of reasons. Some because of health, and some because they want to look like a flag pole's twin. Fad diets seem to be the "in" thing right now. I'm sure you've all seen that miraculous grapefruit diet. A decent looking construction worker with a decent looking body is going on a grapefruit diet. Real macho, huh? He even squeezes the grapefruit to show his masculinity. In the next commercial, he is in a suit. He probably bought it with the money that he made on the first

commercials. Oh yes, and don't those heartrendering testimonials just make you want to cry? I think for $500 I'd say I lost 200 pounds even though I've never weighed over 116 pounds in my entire life. Well, here are a few tips on dieting: (1) If you really want to go on a diet, and you really want it to work, and you really want to lose weight, go to the dentist, have a root canal done, get your mouth wired shut, and then buy a pack of handy dandy paper straws and a blender. (2) If you have a VCR, buy the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and

watch it before each meal (if you can, have pizza with lots of tomato sauce). (3) Hire Clint Eastwood to live in your refrigerator for a week. Every time you open the door, he will stick his gun up your nose and say, "Go ahead, eat the cheesecake, and make my day!!" I'm sure that after about a week of that, you will never break your diet again. (4) Buy a muzzle. (5) Read the labels of what you are about to eat. Make a rule to yourself that if you can't pronounce it, you can't eat it.

Blithe Spirit: An Early Review By JEFF FLEMING During the week of Oktoberfest the Longwood Players will open their first show of the season. A comedy by Noel Coward, Blithe Spirit premiered on Broadway in November of 1941. The following critique written by Brooks Atkinson was published in the New York Times on November 6, 1941. Blithe Spirit... is a completely insane farce that is also uproarious. It hardly touches the stage as it rides a demented broomstick to hilarity ... It is a travesty of ghost stories, told with the sardonic impeccability of a cafe wit. A novelist is living with his second wife in a state of fashionable discontentment. To accumulate a little useful information about the occult for a novel he is writing he invites a spiritualist to hold a seance in his house. She does, and to such a good purpose that the spirit of his first wife returns from the psychic beyond, and raises with his comestic arrangements. For she is not a noble spirit. She is vain and covetous. Through some eerie mischavee, she even translates the second wife into a spirit. And the third act of the play finds the novelist plagued by two spirits that cannot leave him and cannot get away from each other. That is the framework of Blithe Spirit. But it hardly suggests the comic absurdity of Mr. Coward's high-spirited lark, which is full of droll malice and farcical insincerity. To him the munibojumbo of spiritualism is an invitation to poke fun at solemn characters and write lines with a coustic stick. He skips through the exposition with witty alacrity. He picks up some vagrant laughs with low-comedy part of the fleetfooted sewart drudge. As usual, smashes crockery to a point aclimax. And the part of the maidenly spiritualist he has translated into a remarkable funny satire on old saws and bogus good cheer."

Nostalgia: This rivalry has fizzled out in recent years due to HampdenSydney's inability to raise a team. The word out is that they feel longwood College is still a girls' school and that the Longwood club is full of women. All students are invited to attend. The next match is Saturday, October 12, at 1:00 p.m. against Lynchburg. This match will also be played at the President's Field. All are welcome. Good Luck, Longwood!

After two hard fought, losing battles against the Norfolk Blues and the University of Richmond, the Ixmgwood College Men's Rugby Club put the pieces together in a 29-0 whipping T. C. Williams Law School. Ixmgwood took the early lead in the first half on trys by David Grant and Ross Anderson. The half ended with the score Ixmgwood 10, T. C. Williams 0. In the second half, Longwood built on this 10 point lead.

Robert Frost, noted American poet, will lecture at Farmville January 11,1940. His coming here was made possible through the efforts of Beorc Eh Thorn, local English honor society which tries each year to bring some eminent literary person to the college. In past years Beorc Eh Thorn has brought John Erskine, Richard Haliburton, and others to the campus. Robert Frost writes poetry of the thoughts and feelings of the silent New Englanders. Some of his best known poems are "The Death of the Hired Man", and "Mending Walls". He has won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry three times — once in 1924, once in 1930, and again in 1937. Frost says, "A poem begins with a lump in the throat, a home sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment.

Baseball Loses To ByJEFFRYKERR FLEMING This article is devoted to all professional students that are making Longwood a career. If you can relate to any of these you should have been long gone.

approaching your mid-life crisis. 6) When you've been published in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" as a long term student. 7) When you've seen the rise and fall of two or three presidential terms. 8) You are more attracted to the professors than the students. 9) When you miss a class because of Alzheimer's disease. (10) You never have to take your I.D. to mixers. 11) When the new car you got for graduation is now a collector's item. 12) Male enrollment equals female enrollment at Longwood. (13) The Longwood football team really has an undefeated season.

To Discuss Tour Of China

Dr. John Peale, associate professor of philosophy at Longwood College, will lecture and show slides on China on Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m. in Wygal Auditorium. His topic will be "Journey To A Changing China." The public is invited to attend the presentation and the reception to follow in the Haga Room. Dr. and Mrs. Peale visited China this past summer on the Yale University Alumni Study Tour. Among the cities they visited were Beijing (Peking), Xian, Chongqing (Chungking), Yangzi (Yangtze) Gorges, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou (Canton). Dr. Helen Siu, assistant professor of anthropology at Yale, and R. Charles Peterson, professor of history at Cornell University, accompanied the study group and lectured frequently. "These two well-informed people helped us to understand better what we saw," Dr. Peale said. "Our historical understanding was enriched, and we gained a perspective on many of the interesting changes that are occurring in contemporary Chinese society." The Peales have a special interest in China since Mrs. Peale was born there while her parents were serving as Presbyterian missionaries. She left China when she was four years old.

Ambassadors (Continued from Page i) advantages of being an Ambassador is experience. Ambassadors are exposed to alumni, government officials, leaders in the corporate and business world, prospective students and the general public. "We want our students exposed to as many individuals and groups external of the institution as we can possibly expose them to. That is because the best way to sell something is with quality products. Through this experience many students can get their foot in the door for professional job opportunities by people they meet." Ambassadors have many duties. These include: (1) Assist the Director of Annual Funds with the Alumni Telefund. (2) Serve as Official hosts and Hostesses for various parties, programs, events, etc. (3) Assist Admissions in activities related to attracting qualified students to Longwood College. (4) Assist Institutional Advancement in support programs for the benefit of longwood College. (5) Serve as College Tour Guides. (6) Serve in other various public relations activities for the benefit of Ix)ngwood. (7) Although the Ambassadors is totally a voluntary organization, it is highly prestigious and is a very beneficial part of college life. In the future, there are some changes to be made in Ambassadors. It was the job of the executive board to interview students who wished membership into the organization. Now, it will be the duty of the advisors. Barbara Stonikinis is new to the advisory board. She is the co-ordinating advisor from the Institutional Advancement Office. She was asked to be on the board because she is the person they come to, and she doesn't travel as much as the other advisors. Stonikinis states of the Ambassadors, "They are a great bunch of kids, and I am looking forward to working with them this year." Also new is the concept to expand by taking on special projects. The leadership for these special projects would come from the Ambassadors and other students would become involved. When students were asked what they wanted from Ambassadors, thev renlipH(1) leadership (2) pride and involvement (3) friendships and relationships (4) results for advancing the college (5) to become a greater part of

(Continued from Page 1) football team in Taunton, Mass., said, "In our school, about threequarters of the kids who play sports do it. As an everyday thing." Added Andover dentai hygienist Joan Walsh, "Many equate it with gum chewing." Scientific witnesses for the Smokeless Tobacco Council argued that no undisputed scientific evidence exists proving its product causes any human disease or is clinically addictive. Nitrosamines have produced cancer in some laboratory animals, but have not been shown to cause cancer in any human being, they pointed out. But representatives of the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, American Dental Society, the U.S. Addiction Research Center and the Centers for Disease Control joined researchers from the National Cancer Institute in condemning the practice of dipping. Concluded Assistant Surgeon General Robert Mecklenburg, chief dental officer of the U.S. Public Health Service: "Why should a chemical time bomb be allowed to tick without warning in the mouths of children?" Health scientist Elbert Glover of East Carolina University recently conducted two quitsmokeless-tobacco clinics in which only one of 41 participants was able to go for more than four hours without the use of smokeless tobacco. "This, to me," Glover says, "means that smokeless can be highly addictive." Since the Massachusetts hearing, that state now requires

warning labels on snuff cans, and eight other states have similar mandatory warnings under consideration. Both the World Health Organization and U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop have declared that smokeless tobacco does indeed pose a cancer threat, and the Public Citizen Health Research Group has petitioned the Federal Trade Commission to order warning labels. The FTC, in turn, has asked the Surgeon General to conduct a comprehensive review of existing scientific evidence on health effects before taking action. I-ast July, Rep. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, held hearings on whether to ban all smokeless advertising from television. Dr. Gregory Connolly, director of dental health for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, concedes that "we don't know how much oral cancer is caused by snuff. But we do know that each year we have about 20,000 new cases of oral cancer and 9000 deaths in this country. Tobacco of one kind or another is believed to account for about 70 percent of it. According to the National Cancer Institute, if you use snuff regularly you increase your risk fourfold." Shortly before his death, Sean Marsee told his mother that there must be a reason God decided not to save him. "I think the reason is what we're doing right now," says Betty Marsee. "Keeping other kids from dying - that's Sean's legacy." — Copy write: Reader's Digest

The Dining Service Advisory Committee The Advisory Committee to the Dining Service is on a role! So far we have changed the cafeteria line set-up from what it was. The reason the first change came about was to improve the safety of the workers (this was not our idea), we changed the position of the cereal, silverware, and vegetables to offer students three entree lines, (notice the tape on the floor?) the exception is brunch.

The committee is also aware of nutrition conscious students. We have now decided the vegetables will be served without salt and butter!, yogurt at breakfast and also a rotation of the jelly flavors. I If you are alert you may one day notice there was something different out, but we will see if ARA can change their three-year track record of the non-stop serving of grape jelly.) The committee is also

interested in having soup at buffet dinners, biscuits more often at dinner, crepes for breakfast, and here's the big one: maybe getting bagels on other days besides every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday ... oops, I hope I didn't give away the big ARA secret of when we have bagels. I hope if any student has something to say about the food or ARA service, they will please contact me. Mary Schraf. Main 241, Box 1191.

Bordner Leads Golfers In

Of The Week

A Week To Remember Finney of Newport News won the title with a 67-68-135 and Chowan took the team title with a 285-303588. Other team scores were as follows: Newport News 296297-593, Christopher Newport 304-296-600, Longwood 313-299-612, St. Augustine's 301-311-612, Virginia Wesleyan 303-316-619, Ferrum 319-307-626, Virginia Union 328-325-653, and Hampton 344-342-686. Also competing for Longwood, in addition to Bordner, were Mike Passarell 80-78-158, Chris Gray 81-75-156 Mark Marshall 81-74155, Ron Hatch 82-78-160 and Greg Solow 82-83-165. longwood had five golfers shoot in the 70's Tuesday and that hasn't happened in three years. The 299 for one round was just two strokes higher than the school record 297 which was recorded in 1982. "We played very well Tuesday," said coach Steve Nelson. "We scrambled well and kept the ball in play."

I,ongwood's men's golf team has not had much to crow about since the days of All-American Tim White and the 1982 State Champion squad, but all that changed last week. In a record-breaking performance by junior Ty Bordner and his teammates, longwood set a new standard for 36-hole score in the Old Dominion Tournament last Monday and Tuesday and then defeated Randolph-Macon and Liberty University in a three-team match Wednesday afternoon. Ixwgwood had rounds of 313299 for a twoKlay total of 612 at the Hampton Golf and Tennis Club course in Portsmouth Monday and Tuesday. The I oncers ended up tied for fourth with St. Augustine's and turned in the best score ever by a lancer team for 36 holes. Bordner led the way with an individual record 71-72-143 which was good for a second place tie out of over 50 golfers. Mike

TY BORDNER

Women's Tennis A talented Emory & Henry squad dealt Ix>ngwood's women netters a 9-0 setback Saturday afternoon, dropping the Lady Lanov record to 1-2 for the fall season. Longwood visits RandolphMacon Friday and plays host to Sweet Briar Wednesday, October 16, in its final two matches of the fall season. Longwood Coach Bill Moore had four freshmen and two sophomores in his top six Saturday.

Longwood junior Ty Bordner led the men's golf team to its best showing in three years last week and set a school record in the process. For his performance, Bordner has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period September 30 through October 6. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood Sports Information Office. Bordner, back on the team after dropping out of school for a year, shot a record 71-72-143 at the Old Dominion Golf Tournament last Monday and Tuesday and came back to shoot a medalist 73 as Longwood won a tri-match Wednesday in Ashland.

"Ty is certainly playing well right now," said coach Steve Nelson. "He has been an inspiration to his teammates also. They expect him to shoot well and his play has given us more confidence in what we can do as a team." Currently, Bordner has a stroke average of 75.3 ior eight rounds. If he continues to shoot as well this fall and next spring, he might be a contender for a spot in the NCAA Division II Golf Tournament. In the 1983-04 spring season Bordner had a 79.0 stroke average for the tancers.

performance during Oktoberfest weekend entitled "WaterWorks!" The show will feature water ballet at its best. Each routine is choreographed to popular music by certain members of the team and their coach Sara Bingham. I>ast year's show was a splash! Not an empty seat was in the bleachers.

Vidleyball Team Improves, But Still Needs A Win Despite tremendous team improvement in both serving and passing, the Ixmgwood volleyball squad dropped four matches last week to fall to 0-11 for the season. This week Longwood visited Ferrum Monday and hosts Sweet Briar and Virginia Union Thursday at 6:00. I^ast Wednesday ChristopherNewport beat Longwood 8-15„1715, 15-10 after the Lady lancers had leads of 14-13 and 15-14 in the second game. Host Mary Washington dealt LC a 15-8, 15-7 defeat the same night. Friday Longwood hosted Gallaudet and Hampton University and came away with two more losses. A hustling Gallaudet team turned back Coach Linda Elliott's charges 152,16-14 and Hampton pinned a 157.15-11 loss on the I*idy lancers. "We're improving all the time, but the wins won't come until we play more consistently as a

team," said Coach Elliott. "Our level of intensity is what's causing us to lose. Instead of playing our own game, we play to the other team's ability. If they play well we do." Elliott said her team produced a dramatic increase in its number of kills in Wednesday's action. She singled out seniors Holly Hearne and Karen Moye for their play on the front line Wednesday. "Holly must have put away a dozen kills," said the coach. "That's probably the best she's ever played. Karen also played well and Mary Friga served 100 per cent when she was in there. Sharon Magnuson and Sara Laser were fantastic on defense." She cited Debbie Turco for her serving off the bench and Dana Shockley for filling in for injured Bobbi Shuler in Friday night's action.

Coach Mary Whltlock and Laura Thomas get ready for riding practice.

Get Horse Happy ByTRICIAO'HANLON The Lancer, our proudly displayed school emblem, rides his horse on everything from school calendars to the walls of our gymnasium. Joan of Ark also rides a horse as she leads her troops through our collinade beside the Rotunda. As popular and well-loved as horses are, why doesn't anyone know about Ixmgwood's riding team? Riding is the only college-level sport which enables a student to start as a beginner and compete inter-collegiately. With the different classes of competition ranging from beginner to advanced, riders can compete at the level in which they are best

suited. Ix)cated only 12 miles away, the stables are owned by the riding team's Coach Mary Whitlock. Presently, the team consists of 4 returning members and 7 new members. Whitlock, enjoying hier seventh year as coach, led Ixmgwood to Reserve High Point College of the Year honors in 1983-84. I^ast season longwood earned 68 ribbons with seven first place ribbons. If you are an experienced rider or even a beginner, and you are interested in joining the riding team, stop by the Sports Information Office in East Ruffner for more information.

Ixmgwood's entire team had an off-day Sunday as the I^ady Lancer golfers finished fourth out of 13 teams in the rain-shortened Yale University Invitational. Longwood totaled a 346 and finished behind three teams it had beaten easily earlier in the season in the 18-hole event at the Yale Golf Course. Penn State (332) edged James Madison (332) for the title on the strength of its number five golfer's score. William & Mary (338) was third. The tournament was scheduled for 36 holes, but Saturday's round was rained out. Longwood scores included: Tammy Ixihren 85, Nancy Ryan 86, Marcia Melone 87, Tina Barrett 88 and I«igh Russell 92. Gretchen Pugh, playing as an individual, shot an 84 for I£'s best round of the day. "I can't explain it," said coach Barbara Smith. "We all had an off-day at the same time. The conditions were bad with cold, rainy and windy weather, but that is no excuse. We had beaten the teams that came in ahead of us before." Yale Invitational scores: Penn State 332, James Madison 332, William & Mary 338, Ixmgwood 346, Methodist 353, Hartford 354, North Carolina Wilmington 365, Mount Holyoke 370, Rutgers 373, Dartmouth 384, Boston College 393, Yale II 452, Yale I 457.

10th Ranked Soccer Team Faces Crucial 3-Game Stretch After an 8-1 win over Shenandoah Wednesday and a 2-0 loss to nationally ranked Alabama-Huntsville Sunday, Longwood's soccer team will take an 8-2 record into an upcoming 3-game stretch which could make or break the Lancers' season. In a rematch of last year's state title contest, Longwood will host VISA Eastern Division foe Mary Washington Wednesday at 3:30. While the lancers are 0-1 in VISA play, the Blue Tide is 1-0 and 7-2-1 overall. Coach Rich Posipanko says his team cannot afford another VISA loss if it hopes to return to the state playoffs for the third time in four

years. Posipanko, whose squad has been hit hard by injuries, felt encouraged after watching his team battle Alabama-Huntsville Sunday. The Lancers visit tough Old Dominion Saturday night and then play at Liberty University next Monday. The Flames were ranked 18th in Division II in last week's poll. "I felt we played AlabamaHuntsville almost an even game," said the coach. "If we play that way in these next three games we could win all of them. Outside of Virginia and possibly William & Mary a couple of years ago, we haven't played anyone as skilled as Alabama-Huntsville."

Longwood had 14 shots on goal to 17 for the Chargers Sunday afternoon. Goalkeeper Rob Liessem came through with nine saves and backs Erick Kam, Sean McArdle, and Jeff Robinson all played superbly. Senior Tim Ford was back in action Sunday after being out with a chipped bone in his ankle. Ford has 5 goals and 2 assists, John Kennen 5 goals and 7 assists and Mark Kremen 5 gOals and 2 assists to pace Longwood's offense. Senior co-captain Mark McArdle will likely miss this week's action but could return next week if he gets a good report from the doctor about his fractured arm.
