Merry Christmas From Both Ends Of The Campus!

Christmases Past At LC

By KRISTJNA SMALL The Christmas spirit is back at Longwood, thanks to the return of the Christmas tree to the Rotunda. No one knows for sure when the tradition of decorating the towering tree began, but it is chronicled in the Rotunda newspaper as far back as the 1940s.

Back then the semester ended after students returned from Christmas break, giving students and faculty more time to devote to Christmas festivities.

Those festivities began with the annual Christmas banquet

F*

sponsored by the Freshman Commission. After prayers, which followed dinner, "The Other Wise Man" was recited and running cedar was distributed among the students as they sang carols and decorated the tree in the "Hanging of the Green".

Longwood's holiday observance held a greater religious meaning in the 40's and 50's.

The highpoint of the season was the "0 Holy Night" pageant presented by the Farmville YVVCA. One girl was chosen to play the Madonna in the pageant, an honor that was

greatly sought after. The Madonna was chosen by the student body who voted in a secret ballot box in the dining hall. The pageant consisted of a manger scene where the Madonna's identity was re-

vealed.

In 1948 Longwood, then called the State Teachers College, raised $182.90 during the White Christmas Service, an annual fundraising drive. A banquet was held in which the

heads of all campus organizations dressed in white and presented charitable donations for Christmas welfare projects. In that year the sum was divided three ways. One part went to a (Continued on Page 10)

ROTUNDA POLICY

THE ROTUNDA

There is an opportunity for you, the students who use and live on this campus, to have a hand in what is to become of a section of it - a part of campus that most of you use and look at a number of times every day. This area is the mall outside the dining hall's new smoker, between the back of Grainger, the Virginia Room, and the road that runs alongside Hiner. The opportunity that is available to you is one that will allow you a voice in the decisions that will be made in redesigning this area.

Right now, this mall area is a shambles. Decorations consist of a flag pole that serves no purpose and a bulletin board that is small on eyesore that nobody knows or cares that most of the notices posted on it are out-of-date by a couple of months. The area is bisected by an inadequate cement walkway which runs from one coiner of the lot to another, leaving yards of unused ground on either side. As it presently stands, this slot of land is wasted: it does nothing to enhance the appearance of the campus as a whole, and most of the land it encompasses is never used in any way.

But think what it could be! If you were to take down the hedges that restrict this area, perhaps level the ground and resurface it with brick or cobblestone or something to that effect, think about what you could do with the mall!

Parties, concerts, outdoor things of all kinds could be held on the mall. Add a couple of benches and tables, and maybe you could loiter in comfort with a couple of friends. This is also the perfect spot for some sort of a campus "conversation piece".

Because this area is used primarily by the students, shouldn't it be planned by the students? Don't you want to have some say in what your campus could look like in the future?! Wouldn't you like to be able to walk across it with a friend and say, "I helped put this place together, and I'm damn proud of it!"?! Your ideas are necessary - very necessary - if this endeavor is to be as productive as it has the potential to be.

There is going to be a meeting to discuss the mall project this Sunday, December 13, at 6 p.m. in the President's Board Room (right by the President's Office in East Ruffner). All students and student input will be welcomed. If for some reason you cannot attend this meeting but would like to, send a quick note to the Rotunda, ATTN. Mall Meeting, Box 1133. Include your name and box number and any ideas or questions you have about the project. If you don't know where the meeting room is, ask in the information office.

Remember: it's your mall - what are you going to do about it?

THE LC ADMINISTRATION WAYl

ARA's Lancer Cafe ARA's Lancer cafe has decided not to accept checks from students for the remainder of the semester.

Fearing huge losses, ARA makes the cafe just that more inefficient. The main message seems to be: students are not to be trusted and are basically incompetent in handling their checkbooks.

However, ARA should be commended for showing students sound business practices. The lesson to be learned is: when in the Food Service Business and the boss says "No checks," it is better to throw food and drink away than risk accepting a check.

So if one doesn't have a certified check or cash, one is not welcome at Lancer cafe - Merry Christmas.

= Letters to the Editor Muth: Disputed Reputation Surfaces To the Editor, I have become aware of the appalling rudeness of the secretary in the Social Work department, Millie Muth. She has offended many students with her flip remarks and uncaring attitude. It always seemed to me that a secretary should have exceptional social skills, especially in a department such as Social Work. Unfortunately Mrs. Muth does not seem to be aware of the fact that she is one of the first people students and other members of the community come in contact with when dealing with the department of social work. It is disappointing that such an exceptional department can be hindered so greatly by one person.

Signed, a concerned student Dear Editor, I would like to thank some-

Freshman Trees Beautify Campus

College Cords Not Up To Par Letter to the Editor: Upon my return to Longwood after the summer, there were many changes concerning the resident's life through rules and regulations due to the fire last semester. During my walk to the library Thursday night, I noticed the beautiful Christmas candles in Ruffner windows and in the library. When I entered the library, I noticed that these lights were all plugged into the wall with a cheap $1.97 K-Mart extension cord: you know, the one's that most of us got written up for by the Fire Marshall. Then on Friday when I went to my classes, these same lights were plugged into these same cords. I realize that in these buildings there is less of a chance of someone getting hurt if it were to catch on fire; however, the danger is not my point. If residents are required to have 14-2 extension

Soccer Team Slighted Editor, I am writing this letter in response to the events that have occurred over the past few weeks involving the Longwood soccer team. Isn't it funny how a division two school with a winning record, winning tradition, and a highly respected coach, got overlooked by the NCAA selection committee for a national bid. Isn't it also funny that Longwood was the only soccer team at any level of Division to have three players on the team the same year named AU-American. Through hard work and dedication, Rich Posipanko has built a highly respected soccer program that

has been ranked as high as third nationally over the past few years, I think Longwood should hold its head up high, and be proud of the accomplishments the team has made.

The soccer team has reached many great heights this year, and their success will continue.

I myself had a chance to be involved with the team this year, and I have nothing but praise for the coaches and players.

The team may not have gotten the national bid, but I think now the NCAA realizes the grave injustice they've committed.

Rich "J.D." Jones

/f's A Shame, Editor, The incident which brought me to pen this letter is as follows: I returned from Thanksgiving break to find that the school had repainted the interior of the elevators in two colors and it looked fairly nice except someone had already scratched in the paint, "This college sucks." I wonder if this person stopped .to think that he/she may be the initial cause this college has problems. Don't you people want to live n a decent place?

This college has the potential to look very nice but things are always torn up and it's a damn shame.

said coach Shirley Duncan of her team's tournament title.

We'd like to be 7-0 now, but we've accomplished a lot."

Duncan, who got her 99th career win Saturday night, will be going for win number 100 Wednesday at Towson State.

The coach pointed to Longwood's work on defense and an effective fastbreak as key factors in the tournament showing.

"We jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the championship game," she said. "Our fastbreak worked very well and helped us get ahead. Our player-to-player defense kept the other teams off-balance."

Senior guard Angie Hill, who moved into the starting lineup Friday night, scored 19 points in the championship game. Burton and Barnette scored 17 points, Angie Middle-

ton scored 11, and Jill Everett was the fifth Lady Lancer in double figures with 10 points.

Longwood outrebounded Coker by a 59-30 margin and hit 15 of 23 free throws for its best showing of the year at the line.

SURVIVE MIRACLE SHOT Longwood survived a near miracle shot by Central Wesleyan's Mona Blasingame to win Friday night's opener in overtime. Blasingame had a prayer answered when her shot from just past midcourt bounced in to tie the game at 63-63 and bring an overtime.

LADY LANCER BASKETBALL 2-2-2 Thanks to a bucket by Hill, four points from Burton and two free throws from Everett and Barnette, Longwood won the overtime period 10-7 and the ball game. Annette Easter-

ling scored 17 points to take honors for Longwood. Barnette scored 16, Burton had 14 with 11 rebounds and Everett scored 11 points.

Easterling added seven assists and canned three of nine from 3-point range.

BEST START IN 11 YEARS Longwood's early season 5-2 start is the team's best beginning since the 1976 squad began the year 6-2.

"We're getting great balance in our scoring and contributions from a lot of players," says coach Duncan.

"We need to maintain that balance to continue our success."

Four players are scoring in double figures for Longwood.

The leaders are Barnette at 13.9, Easterling 12.1, Everett 11.4 and Burton 10.7. Burton is also averaging 8.7 rebounds.

Stukes And Strauss Out-Grapple At York

pounds and Hartley who beat Rick Hooten 6-4 in the heavyweight division. Lancers Todd Robson, 118, and Tommy Gilbert, 142, lost close decisions.

"We had a competitive match, and with a couple of breaks we could have made it a lot closer," said Nelson.

"Pembroke is one of the toughest teams on our schedule."

Junior John Stukes and senior Jesus Strauss won individual titles and Longwood finished third out of seven teams in the York College Wrestling Tournament in York, Pennsylvania Saturday.

Longwood, 1-6 in dual matches, concluded its first semester action at York. A match scheduled at Campbell Tuesday night has been postponed until January 21.

Stukes took 12-2 and 4-3 decisions to win the title at 134 pounds and Strauss won by scores of 13-3 and 8-0 to finish on top in the heavyweight division. Stukes is now 16-2-1 for the year while Strauss is 10-6.

Other place winners for Longwood were Eion Kelley 31 for third place at 126, Dave Taylor, 2-2 for fourth at 177,

and Doug Hartley 2-1 for third at 190.

Delaware Valley won the event with 107 3/4 points. Lycoming had 82 3/4 for second, Longwood was next with 40.

Other scores included: Salisbury State 31 1/2, Glassboro 17 1/2, Gettysburg 161/2 and York 13.

Coach Steve Nelson was particularly impressed with Strauss, who won his first collegiate tournament title.

"Jesus wrestled the best he has all year," said Nelson. "He placed in six of 8 tournaments last year, but this was his first individual title. As a team we started off a little shaky, but we came back strong in the consolation rounds."

Football Team Finishes Season The Longwood Lancer football team has accepted another bowl bid. This is the sixth year the Lancer Football Team has been in existence, and the sixth bowl bid the Lancers have received. The Lancers on Jan. 1 will be playing in Hershey, Pennsylvania in the Chocolate Bowl. The Lancers were overlooked by the Rose and Orange bowl selection committees because of the ties to Florida and Virginia Tech in the final two games of the season. Lancer head coach Micheal Phillips had these comments on the team getting overlooked by the other bowls, "We've had another undefeated season. But the last two ties really put our national championship hopes to rest' The Lancers did have wide

receiver Russell Alves named first team All-American by the Associated Press this week.

Alves had 60 catches in 10 games for the Lancer football team, with 6 being for touchdowns. Coach Phillips also reported that star tailback W.C. Woods will be back in the lineup. Woods suffered a concussion after his wife struck him over the head with a fry pan.

Woods was out of the line-up for 5 games. The team will be playing the loser of the South Carolina and Miami game.

Three Lancers Named All-American

Lady Hoopsters Doing Great Senior center Barbie Burton and freshman Carmille Barnette led Longwood to its second tournament championship of the season in the Wofford College Invitational Friday and Saturday.

The 5-2 Lady Lancers, who visit Division I Towson State Wednesday, had four or more players in double figures in a 73-70 overtime win over Central Wesleyan Friday and a 9270 victory over Coker College in the championship Saturday night. Longwood had won the Mount Olive Lady Trojan Classic on the opening weekend of the season.

Burton totaled 31 points and 26 rebounds to earn Most Valuable Player honors in the event and was joined on the AllTournament team by Barnette, who collected 33 points and 12 rebounds.

THE ROTUNDA

By Rich Jones The Longwood Lancer Soccer Team was bestowed with a great honor this past week; three of the team's players were named All-American. Senior Jeff Robinson and sophomore John Barone were named second team. Freshman Ray Jones who scored a school record 29 goals, was named first team.

Jones at one time was listed in Sports Illustrated magazine as the nation's leading goal scorer.

Robinson is a senior from Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania. He has been on the team for four years. Barone came to Longwooti from Neptune, N.J. and Ray Jones hails from Smith's Parrish, Bermuda.

Coach Rich Posipanko had these comments about the three players. "Roz, John, and Ray had a great year. They showed leadership that helped us come together as a team. There aren't three other players who are more deserving of being named All-American." The Lancer soccer team was the only team Division I, II, or III - to have three players named AllAmerican this year. That statistic alone should make the Longwood Administration and student body feel very proud.

Burton also had eight steals in the Wofford tournament and was named Most Valuable Player.

A graduate of Yorktown High School in Arlington, Burton has been a two-year starter for the Lady Lancers. Showing marked improvement each season, she seems to be set for her best year. While helping Longwood get off to a 5-2 start, she has averaged 10.7 points and 8.7 rebounds while hitting 55 per cent of her shots. She has had 10 or more rebounds four times.

"Barbie played very well at both ends of the floor in both games," said head coach Shirley Duncan.

Only One In Ten Students And Administrators Got Drunk Rapes Reported

By KRISTINA SMALL What is the Longwood Men's

By JAIME HAMPTON Club and why did they host a Straight from Webster's New World Dictionary: rape is "the controlled drinking excrime of having sexual intercourse with a woman or girl forcibly periment? According to a and without her consent." According to Chief James Huskey of member of "the club" who preCampus Police, the biggest problem after rape has occurred is that ferred to remain anonymous the woman "isn't willing to pursue it by pressing charges." the Longwood Men's Club is a The most common types of rape are when the rapist is someone "psuedo-secret social organizathe victim knows; or "date-rape." Most of the time it is not tion which holds special activireported, and if it is, it's usually later rationalized by the victim ties at special times."

He further stated, with a and not pursued. smile on his face, that the So far only one rape has been reported this semester, though not pursued; and Chief Huskey speculates that only one in ten club's members are "strong rapes is ever reported, due to fear of publicity. "This is an believers in responsible unfortunate attitude because there is no publicity except in court; drinking" and would like to premote that attitude among and the "Perk Kit" (rape test kit) is administered at the hospital by a doctor and a nurse to the victim with no one else present," Longwood students.

Prompted by Alcohol says Huskey.

There are several reasons why a woman should report a rape Awareness Week, the club conand press charges against the rapist when he is someone she tacted Art Greene, a Drug and knows. Most importantly, he has violated her rights as a woman Alcohol educator, to present the program. Mr. Greene travels to and a person. colleges around the region getting administrators and students drunk to help them and those watching to realize the Besides that, nowadays one must worry that rape could eveneffects alcohol has on motor tually lead to AIDS; whereby, you have not only a case of rape but skills and driving abilities. also of manslaughter or second degree murder.

Four administrators and Another important consideration is that once a male rapes four students began drinking someone and gets away with it, more than likely he will do it the liquor of their choice at again to someone else. Then it becomes a campus problem.

5:30. By 7:00 when the Someone should be told; if not campus police, then the Dean of experiment opened up most of Students or the Vice President for Student Affairs or a Resident the participants were already Assistant. on their way. Sue Saunders A rape should be brought to someone's attention right away found it more comfortable to sit because physical evidence is soon lost, and a jury is very hesitant to convict a rapist if it's simply a case of one person's word against another's, with no other evidence.

It should be noted that there is a statue of limitations for rape of five to seven years. This means that any physical evidence gathered from the victim can be saved, due to forensics, should the victim decide to wait before pressing charges. But it must be REPORTED right away.

Chief Huskey feels "the male population needs to be educated as to what rape is." He goes on to say, "As far as we're concerned, if a male and a female are in the middle of a sexual act and the female says 'no - stop!' anything happening after that is rape."

As far as preventing rape, the most important thing to remember is: use common sense! "Three-fourths of ALL campus problems, not just rape, are problems that students have created for themselves," says Huskey. Women should NOT walk around campus alone at night. Chief Huskey reflects, "Although the laws of nature say that we are all equal, the laws of man have proven that this just isn't so."

If a female is alone at night, she should travel in a well-lighted area; and if someone grabs her, she should scream. As far as fighting back, a woman shouldn't fight back unless she is somewhere where someone will hear or see her.

Campus police is also willing to help. If a ride home is needed from one end of campus to the other, call them. If you have to park your car at Wynne, stop by campus police and let them follow you up there and give you a ride back to your room. Sure, you might have to wait a while, but think of the alternative. Is it worth it?

Concerning date-rape or rape by someone that is known to the victim, again common sense is important. Get to know this person as well as possible before going off alone with him, getting in his car alone with him, or going to his room alone with him. Another alternative to date rape is to lie. Chief Huskey says, "Tell him you have a venereal disease or that it's your time of the month - anything that will work."

Unfortunately, in some cases of date rape, intoxication is a contributing factor. However, "no" should be sufficient. "No" means no.

on the floor while Mr. Greene had Derrick Lily walking a straight line and counting backwards.

Mr. Greene asked the participants to keep notes about the changes they felt after each drink.

Rick Hurley reported that after two drinks he had a "low Donkey Kong score of 1,000, a glow around the top of my head" and a "drunkeness feeling from head to toe." With a blood alcohol content of .06, Mr. Hurley had a "feeling of goodness" and felt drunk at .08.

Mr. Green administered a test in which he had Rob Liessem follow a pen with his eyes, a test given by police to suspected drunk drivers. If the eyes don't move smoothly it is a sign of intoxication. Mr. Greene's aim was to prove the legal consequences and potential dangers of irresponsible drinking.

Local Band Going Strong

By CINDY GOOD On Thursday night, November 19th, the Lancer Cafe' *as packed with classic rock 'n roll lovers who came to hear the local band False Dmitri play.

The college radio station, WLCX 90.1 FM, and the Longwood Student Excursion club sponsored the three hour concert, which members of both organizations deemed as a "huge success."

The band has played at the

False Dmitri currently has only four members: Allen Franklin who sings lead and plays bass, J.W. Frank who plays rhythm guitar, Steve Brown on drums, and Norman Vos8 on lead guitar. Allen is the head post office person at the post office on campus. Steve and J.W. also live and work in the Farmville area. Norman is currently a senior here a t Longwood and has been with the band about two years.

DMITRI

Lancer Cafe' several times in the past but this was the first time this year. Lead singer and bass player Allen Franklin said that they always enjoy playing for Longwood students at the Cafe' and that the band hopes to play there again next semester...

False Dmitri got started iri November of 1977 with five members, three of which are still in the band. Two of the original members were Hampden-Sydney students who decided to leave the group after they graduated. Since then, False Dmitri has filled vacant positions with Longwood and Hampden-Sydney students, but the student band members have always ended up leaving the band after graduating.

As a "classic rock" band, they play mostly older hits from the 1960's and 1970s. Several songs they play during almost every concert are: Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones), Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf), Smoke oa- the Water (Deep Purple) and Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd). They also play a lot of ZZ Top's material.

There are usually four or five of their original songs included in each concert. The band made a demo tape about two years ago with some of their original pieces on it. They would like to cut an album, but cost has prevented this, at least for now. Allen said that the band knows about 300 songs which they play and out of

these songs there isn't one that any of the members doesn't like.

False Dmitri's logo is the face of a bull dog. Allen said that, as with the name of the band, they had a hard time finding a logo which all the members liked. The bull dog face came from an old squeaktoy that a co-worker had. Allen said he drew several pictures of the toy and showed them to the band. The bulldog (with added sunglasses) was a hit with the other members and the rest is history.

Next semester, WLCX will probably host False Dmitri again at the Lancer Cafe', so, classic rock lovers; get ready for another concert that is guaranteed to rock the roof off!

The band tried three or four names when they first started playing, but none of them fit very well. The name False Dmitri originated from a story of a Russian Prince named Dmitri. Dmitri dissappeared before he could take over the throne, so a cousin, who was next in line, took the thrown.

Several years later a person claiming he was Dmitri came back and was given the Russian kingship. However, soon it was found out that he was an impostor, or, as he was called, a "false Dmitri." In the late 70's, Allen said, "False Dmitri" was a saying that meant "no way," not for real," "fake," etc. The band adopted the phrase and it seemed to work.

Currently, False Dmitri plays mostly in-state at colleges and bars.

'Tis The Season...

For Suicide?

By DINA FERRIGNO Since most freshmen and sophomores on this campus fall in the teenage suicide range of 15 yrs.-19 yrs. old, we all must be able to recognize the signs and cries for help. The suicide rate in this age bracket has tripled in the last two decades, reaching five suicides and about five hundred attempts daily. Not only this, but researchers also think that the rates may even be higher since death is not coined as suiciderelated unless the deceased has left a note.

It has been found that one's socioeconomic background is not a factor. The only clear, headstrong factor is depression: deep, dark depression set off by some event. Sometimes it is hard to tell if our friends are depressed to the extent of contemplating suicide. Sometimes the events which trigger a suicide do not even have to be anything more out of the ordinary than a daily occurance, like getting in an argument with your roommate, or failing your history exam.

Suicides are often seasonal, occurring at Thanksgiving, Christmas and in the spring.

We must always remember that if we think twice about the actions of our friends it is time to deal with a possible suicide taking place. Get help immediately! Here are some signs: - preoccupation with death - changes in sleeping and eating habits - unexplained or unusually rebellious/disruptive behavior - depression and withdrawal

Spotlight

By CINDY GOOD If you've been keeping track of the D.J.s in the Spotlight, you probably think that all of WLCX's D.J.s are men. However, this is not the case at all.

In fact WLCX has just as many female DJ.s as males.

Marian Martin, a senior Elementary Education major, has been with the station for two and a half years. Currently Marian is doing a partner radio show with junior Tammy Dawson from 6:00 to 8:00 on Friday nights.

Marian plays a variety of music ranging from progressive to pop to oldies. Her music is usually upbeat, party music because at that time on a Friday night, her listeners are just starting to party or are getting ready to go out.

MARIAN MARTIN Marian has served as the station's Business Manager for the past three semesters but will be giving up the position to student teach in the spring.

Marian said that by being Business Manager, she got a chance to see what funds are really necessary to run the station and by being an officer she got a good "view of all the officer positions" and who is in charge of each aspect of the station.

One of the craziest things that has happened to Marian during her years on the air is when she got a phone call in the studio from a guy who said that she had a sexy voice and wanted to know if they could get intamately involved very quickly!

In the future, Marian said that she would possibly like to work as a D.J. for a small radio station or do some other parttime radio work.

Scrooge is the embodiment of the acquisitive, middle-class society whose value system focused on profit and gain. The Cratchit family are the working poor, portrayed with all the tender honesty, limited prospects, and tragic problems that typified that class in Victorian England.

Even the medical problems of Tiny Tim are important to Dickens' theme; in 1843 there was no hospital in London that would admit a child as a patient.

The staging creates a Christmas-card tableau, with a row of shops, a light snowfall, street vendors, and caroling children. The production features outstanding singers and dancers, lavish costumes, and spectacular special effects.

The Nebraska Theater has given more than 1,000 performances of A Christmas Carol throughout North America during the past eight years.

Superpowers Come Together While S. Africa Withdraws

By MATT PETERMAN D President Reagan and Soviet leader Michail Gorbachev signed an arms treaty yesterday in Washington to eliminate intermediate range nuclear missies. It is the first treaty to ban an entire class of missies according to the wire dispatches. "Over three years, 3800, U. S. and Soviet warheads will be dismantled according to the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Reagan called the treaty "a complete bargain . . ." that "completely meets the longstanding goals of the United States and our allies and advances the interests of peace," speaking in his weekly radio address.

Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the ratification of the treaty speaking in the Democratic response Byrd continued: "The Senate will not rush the process of advise and consent." "It took the President's negotiations years to pin down every word in this treaty. The Senate is going to take several months to consider its merits.

We cannot be slip-shod in examining the fine print."

O South Africa troops are being pulled out of Angola after sucessfully aiding, UNIRA, The Union for the Total Indepen-

dence of Angola, against a massive land attack that began in September. The announcement came from South African general Jannie Geldenhuts.

According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, "Geldenhuts said the decision to withdraw 'Followed the successful completion of certain tasks in the interest of South Africa'." The Rebels claim they beat back a major government offensive in early November."

"On November 11, South Africa announced that its forces had intervened to help the rebels repel an offensive B7 Angola's Soviet-and Cubanbacked army."

"The fighting, pitting rebels and South African men, weapons and aircraft against Angolan soldiers and up to 50,000 forces from four East Bloc countries, has been waged since September in the grassy plains in southeastern Angola, up to 200 miles north of the border with Pretoria-ruled Namibia."

"On Nov. 25, the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to demand South Africa's unconditional withdrawal. South Africa rejected the demand, saying it would withdraw when other foreign forces left or when its interests no longer were threatened."

Its Law For Life ByD.M.VEE "Virginia's Safety Belt Law - It's A Law For Life" is the theme of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and Virginia Department of State Police's new campaign to promote safety belt use and statewide compliance with the law.

Virginia's mandatory safety belt law, effective January 1, 1988, requires drivers and front seat passengers to use safety belts when traveling in motor vehicles.

"If just 60 percent of Virginia motorists wear their safety belts, we believe we can save more than 300 lives each year," said DMV Commissioner Donald E. Williams. "In addition, thousands of injuries will be avoided. Virginia's safety belt law is truly a 'law for life.'"

DMVs goal for compliance is

penalty to be paid to the state Literary Fund. Citations may only be issued when the law enforcement officer stops the driver for some other violation.

No points for violations will be assigned under the Virginia Driver Improvement Act and violations Jo not constitute negligence according to the law.

60 percent by the end of 1988 according to Williams. This represents almost double the number of motorists wearing safety belts at this time.

"We know of no other single law which could save the lives of so many Virginians," commented Col. Robert L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police: "Besides the deaths and injuries which will be prevented, this law will eliminate untold grief and suffering by families and friends of crash victims."

Drivers transporting a child four to 16 years of age in the front seat are responsible for seeing that the child is properly secured in a safety belt.

Virginia law already requires children under four to beproperly restrained while riding in a motor vehicle.

Penalties for violation of the new law include a $25 civil

Several exemptions to the law include: persons with certified medical reasons (must carry a physician's explanation statement); law enforcement officers in certain circumstances; persons operating taxi cabs or operating as a U.S. rural mail carrier, newspaper route carrier, bundle handler or rack carrier.

Elements of the "Law For Life" media campaign include television, radio and newspaper, public-service ads, tent cards, billboards, posters, exhibits and brochures.
