Semi-Formal A Fun Success More To Come If Interest Holds
PHOTO BY BKUCt GANTI
Members of the band The Ride enjoyed the company of formal-goers in The Gold Room this past Saturday. The First Annual (??) Mid-Winter's Semi Formal was a "great success", according to AXP Tom Harrison and Excursion Club VI* Ed Robertson, two of the brains behind the bash. Sincere thanks go out to all the Greeks and Excursion Club members who helped get the evening off the ground.
The Rotunda Staff wishes a very happy Groundhog's Day to you!
TERRORIST GROUP SEIZES BANNER By MATT PETERMAN A little known terrorist organization called The Untouchables claimed responsibility for stealing the Christmas CHI banner from the dining hall in mid-December. The CHI banner, first reported missing December 14, is assumed to have been stolen in the middle of the night the preceding weekend. Increasing uncertainty surrounded the affair. Doubts were cast about the identity of the terrorist group, and whether the seizure occurred. In a letter to The Rotunda, the Untouchables thumbed their noses at campus police for failing to detect the breaking and entering incident. In a sarcastic line to police, the Untouchables said "We must commend Longwood Campus Police for the excellent security around the dining hall." The group gave no motive except to say: "When it comes to CHI nothing can stop us." The note further read, "We will treasure this banner forever." When Campus Police were questioned about the incident they claimed they "had n o knowledge" of it. ARA officials could not be reached for comment In a statement issued by The Rotunda, the Editors "deplore the actions of the Untouchables as one-step backward, for Longwood." The statement continued to
Portrait Of Thugs And Their Trophy The faces under these bags grin with delight as members of the nouveau riche terrorist gang which calls itself The Untouchables exhibit their ill begotten wealth. read: "Increased opportunities for acts of terrorism, coupled with the consequences of such acts demand that campus police provide protection of our buildings in a more adequate fashion. If they cant do the job, find someone who can." The Untouchables, a group apparently consisting of three members, delivered the note and picture through campus mail in a plain brown wrapper.
The Rotunda traced the picture's location to 110 N. Main Street - the building that houses Woody's Video Village. No connection could be established, though The Rotunda photography staff is still analyzing the photo. Please send any information concerning The Untouchables to The Rotunda, Box 1133, before this fiendish group strikes again.
