Spring Informal John Dos Passos Prize Awarded To Rush Taught Some Fictionist Lee Smith Old Dogs New Tricks By GWEN W. NELMS
This spring's Informal Rush esulted in a new tradition for jture rushees. The Panhellenic !ouncil, a governing body of Jreeks, voted to establish a orority walk during spring ush, instead of limiting it only 3 fall. A majority of sorority memera on the Greek council voted a establish walk during spring ecause they had pledged durrcg Informal8 and felt that Insrmal Rush was incomplete rithout walk. Informal Rush began Sunay January 31 at 7:30 p.m. in ltubbÂť dormitory with 128
girls. The majority of sororities held Coke parties which allowed them to meet the rushees and vice-versa. Rushees were allowed to attend three parties of their choice and as rush went on, rushees later attended parties by invitation only. Charlie Warner, head of Greek affairs, believes rush is a time of dual evaluation. He says, "Rush is a period of time for a person to evaluate a chapter to find a place for herself and the period of time for a chapter to look at a rushee and see if they have a place for her."

Letter To The Editor: Since my arrival at Longwood I have been appalled at the level of vandalism. Empty beer bottles on campus, graffiti in the elevators, broken windows, and the list goes on. Recently a Shakespearean display in the English department was destroyed. This display was put together by Longwood graduate students. Any student who engages in
Dissatisfied With Dining To the Editor: As concerned students at Longwood College, we are writing in reference to the Dining Hall and its serving procedures. We all know that the dining hall is trying its hardest to accommodate us, but many students have been giving suggestions and are being ignored. Monday night, February first, the upper dining hall had pizza. My suite went around 5:30 and it was crazy. We got in a line and as we got to the serving counter, we were told it was a line for seconds only. This was new to us since at lunch it is a regular serving line. We had already waited in line long enough, so since there were no regular plates to be found, we got salad plates. As we got in line again, we were told we could not use those
plates, so we ended up not getting pizza at all. Why not put signs up telling us this instead of waiting in line for nothing. Why don't we have family style dinner anymore? It was much more organized. As we went to get drinks, there were no cups, no ice, and no carbonation. (Those socalled cups you give us don't hold anything anyway.) If the college is going to admit more students than the school can handle, then the school should provide a larger dining hall and the necessary dinnerware. We need some kind of organization. The lower dining hall should be open on weekends or at least on Fridays. If not, then provide a more appetizing dinner. On closing, we would like to say that all of our parents put a lot of money into our meal plan
(not to mention the school), while many students end up not even going to eat or eating elsewhere because the dining hall can't accommodate us. Take a survey of how many students really eat there and see if it adds up to what we pay for. I doubt it. WHERE DOES THE $ GO? Concerned and Dissatisfied Students
vandalism does not deserve to attend any place of higher education. The destruction of school property only damages the students. In the end I can
guarantee every student will suffer by the expenses. Not to mention discrediting Longwood College which you are attending, or possibly graduating
from. Many students need to adjust their attitudes and CLEAN UP THEIR ACTS! - Veronica Klaras
Well, last week's "editorial" did not go over as well as was anticipated. The inquiry concerning Honor Code and Honor System responsibilities of college faculty and staff members was meant to prompt replies from various points of view around campus. The editorial did not do this. Apologies to those of you who waited with bated breath for some earth-shattering story.
Editorial Comment How come none of you "concerned students" ever reveal your identities to the common public? If you were really as concerned as you say your are you'd get up and do something about the things that are troubling you instead of writing anonymous letters to me. Stand behind your actions. It's the only way to get anything accomplished. CG

Professional dancers like sweets, too! Ride?
A ride board has been placed in the lobby across from the Post Office for the convenience of all Longwood students. The board was the idea of freshmen enrolled in the fall Longwood Seminar section #33. They created the board and ride cards in the hope that this system would be more efficient than placing notes on the wall. The board is divided into general locations: Northern Virginia (NOVA), Richmond, Tidewater, Out of State, and "Other." Space is provided under each heading to hang pre-
With her slender, well-toned body, Cynthia Reynolds looks like the professional dancer that she is. So it was surprising when Reynolds, who spent a week at Longwood College recently, admitted that she has a weakness for sweets and, like everyone else, over-indulged during the Christmas season. "I can sit down and eat a whole box of cookies," said Reynolds, the principal female dancer with the Erick Hawkins Dance Company in New York. "When I'm working out eight hours a day, I burn up a lot of
'Don't work so hard,'" she said. "Dancers are notorious overworkers. They think, 'If it doesn't hurt, I'm not doing enough.' I always tell young people that dance doesn't have to mean the stiff, unnatural movements they often associate with it" She also is a disciple of the Alexander Technique, which was developed by F.M. Alexander. "The Alexander Technique is not dance, but a way to reduce stress and overwork. It's a psycho-physical aproach to movement. I've made a synthesis between the two schools."

Persons needing a ride should fill out a white card which asks for the following information: name, address, phone number, destination, dates seeking to leave and return, and whether the rider is willing to share gas and tolls. Persons offering a ride should fill out a blue card which requests comparable information. The cards should then be hung under the appropriate destination. Students are asked not to remove the cards unless they are out of date. Please copy down the information you need so that everyone can take advantage of the board.
Japanese Art Lecture By CHERYL JEFFREY The International Studies at Longwood series continues with a presentation on Japanese art, aesthetics and religion given by Jane Griffin of the Smithsonian Institute, February 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. She has traveled extensively throughout the Far East and is well known throughout the United States for her lectures. The main focus of her lecture will be the fundamental influence of Chinese art and religion on the Japanese culture. There will also be a koto concert on March 30 given by Kyoko Okamoto. A koto is a six foot long stringed instrument. Koto playing is a marvel these days because there are few people left who possess this skill.

But I avoid soda pop and I try to eat mainly proteins and vegetables." Although her diet is not one of constant self-denial, Reynolds eats "carefully" and takes vitamins. "I've changed my whole idea of what food is it's fuel for this machine. For example, you wouldn't feed an automobile Twinkies." Reynolds taught dance classes at Longwood the week of January 25-29 and worked with the Longwood Company of Dancers in preparation for the group's spring concert. She made a similar visit to Longwood last spring. For the past 12 years, Reynolds has danced with Erick Hawkins Dance Company. Hawkins, who once danced with the famous Martha Graham and is still going strong at 78, is one of the best known choreographers. He has developed a quality of dance movement known as "free flow" that is based on natural human movement. The technique is quite different from that of ballet and other styles of modern dance.

Reynolds, who IOOKS younger than her 40 years, grew up near Buffalo, N.Y. She has a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Brockport. She has completed a three-year teacher training program at the American Center for Alexander Technique. "The Alexander Technique has been around since the turn of the century. An Alexander school opened recently i n Charlottesville." Through her work with the Hawkins Dance Company, Reynolds has seen much of the country. "I've traveled to nearly all the states, including Hawaii and Alaska." In late October, she performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington. She did two performances in Florida recently and soon will go to UCLA. She also has performed for the United Nations and in Italy, southern France and London. In Virginia, she has danced with the Richmond Symphony at the Mosque, and also at the Empire Theater in Richmond. She has taught at Virginia Commonwealth University and Sweet Briar College.

The 88 Vote, Panama Troubles and Storm By MATT PETERMAN 2y>The keY vote *n New Hampshire for Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls is just 5 days away. It will be the first primary of the 1988 race and promises to solidify some candidates chances while putting out the flame in others. The first caucus, held last Monday, yielded some surprising results, as Republican frontrunner, V.P. George Bush finished 3rd behind Pat Robertson and Robert Dole. On the Democratic side, underdog Richard Gephardt finished ahead of Paul Simon and Michael Dukakis. The exact results of the caucuses are listed below, ranked in the order of percentage vote received. Democrats: Richard Gephardt 31%, Paul Simon, 26%, Michael Dukakis, 22%, Jesse Jackson, 11%, Bruce Babbitt, 9%, Gary Hart, 1%, Albert Gore, 1%, Uncommitted, 6%. Republicans: Robert Dole, 37%, Pat Robertson, 25%, George Bush, 19%, Jack Kemp, 11%, Pete du Pont, 7%, Albert Haig, 0%, No preference, 1%. A>- Last week formal charges were brought against Panama-
nian strongman, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, by federal grand juries in Miami and Tampa. The charges consisted of racketeering and drug trafficking. Noriega responded with allegations that the U.S. was looking for ways to escape from the Panama Treaty ratified during the Carter Administration. H e subsequently called for all U.S. troops to leave the country. Under the treaty troops can stay till 1999. Though extradition seems unlikely, these indictments are still more evidence of the corrupt nature under which Noriega rules. The U.S. is hopeful that Noriega will step down so a more Democratic environment will exist in Panama. Instead he seems to be grabbing onto anything to hold him up. ftA killer storm hit Britain
yesterday with winds up to 110 mph. Nine people are reported dead with damage in the millions. Hundreds of homes are reported without power. The storm is similar to the one that struck Britain last year.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM BELIEVE IN IT By DREW HUDSON The purpose of any judicial system is to promote and protect all people. The key words in that statement are: "Promote," "protect" and "all". The purpose of the SGA judicial Reform Task Force is to evaluate the present judicial system here at Longwood and make recommendations to better promote and protect all people. Ricky L. Otey, President of Longwood's SGA and the SGA senate have formed a task force of 31 students and administrators to evaluate the student government system here at Longwood. These 31 task force members have been divided into five different sub-committees: Constitutional Revisions, Consulting Firm, Public Relations, Procedural Revisions, and Training Education. Committees will meet individually and present final recommendations to the SGA President on March 28. Each committee meets as often as necessary and solicits outside help and opinions. The recommendations of each committee can include opinion as well as facts. The entire project is due for completion on April 15. This will enable SGA to include it in next year's Student Handbook. The first meeting of the Task Force was held on February 2 in the Virginia Room. The guest speaker during this opening session was Dr. Annette Gibbs of University of Virginia. She elaborated on what the board should look for as the basis of a sound and prosperous judicial system. Ms. Gibbs stated that the keys to a good system are philosophy and training. However, to make these keys successful you must implement them. The question Ms. Gibbs raised is who implements - the accused? the accusor? or the board? Ms. Gibbs further discussed that individuals must do their A.B.C. and D's in order to be part of a successful system: A standing for adjudicate, B meaning to believe in the system, C meaning to communicate within the system, and D meaning to delegate some responsibility. In order for individuals to be successful in the judicial system they must concentrate mostly on "believing in the system."

(Continued from Page 1) Coordinator. Saturday, the students and administrators attended interest sessions, with topics that ranged from motivation to relaxation. The most popular interest session appeared to be one presented by Joe McGill and Sue Saunders, entitled "Can I Have Fun and Not Drink?" In this session, students were asked to plan an event without including alcohol. The winning non-alcoholic event, as shown by applause, was an assassination game, followed by a "come as you were killed" party. After dinner, Diane Derrick, Student Activities Assistant for Virginia Beach City Public Schools, spoke on group dynamics. "Group dynamics are the forces, that are everchanging and complex, that affect a group during its existence," Derrick said. Derrick went on to explain the factors that affected a group, such as communication between members of the group. Later that evening, students questioned alumni Paula Clay, Rudy Hull, Sheri Nunn, Benji Smith and Bob Smith on the business world after Longwood. Saturday night, conferencegoers were given their choice of entertainment. Some students chose the movie "Crocodile Dundee", while others chose Longwood Night at Peabody's, a Virginia Beach nightspot. At Peabody's, students and administrators alike danced to the sounds of The Willies, a local band. The conference closed with small-group presentations, where students addressed such issues as trash, dining hall mess, and lack of participation in events at Longwood. The leadership conference was organized by Mary Kaye Benton and Cindi Harris.

Dos Passos (Continued from Page 1) (1968), Something in the Wind (1971), and Black Mountain Breakdown (1980). Her short story collection is entitled Cakewalk (1980). In reviewing Family Linen for the Detroit News, Charles Dickinson wrote that Smith "invites the reader in and subtly intoxicates him with the chronicle of a family only slightly more bizarre than most." He concluded that this story of four generations contains "a certain amount of disorder, but that is true of family closets and family linen everywhere." Smith has been compared to William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, and Flannery O'Connor in recording the "particulars of life" and "the voices that tell her story ... with perfect mimicry." In discussing how she captures the rhythm of her characters' speech so well, Smith said: "It's like I hear it all out loud. I write fast, and I almost never revise. I have a sense that I'm sort of transcribing something. But I think about it for years and years first... and by the time I write it, it's pretty well thought through." Smith's first novel was published the year after she received her bachelor's degree from Hollins College. She also has studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. She received the O. Henry Award in 1979 and again in 1981, the Sir Walter Raleigh Award in 1984, and the North Carolina Award for Literature in 1985. A member of the English faculty at North Carolina State University since 1981, Smith also has taught at the University of North Carolina. Early in her career, she was a feature writer, film critic, and editor for the Tuscaloosa News in Alabama. The winner of the John Dos Passos Prize is chosen by an independent jury appointed by Longwood each year. This year's jury included: Dr. Dorothy Scura, biographer, literary critic, and chair of the English department at Virginia Commonwealth University; John Edgar Wideman, recipient of last year's prize, a novelist and member of the English faculty at the University of Massachusetts: and Dr. William Frank, professor of English at Longwood and chair of the prize committee. Previous recipients of the John Dos Passos Prize include Tom Wolfe, Robert Stone, Doris Betts, and Russell Banks.
American Musicale Auditions Longwood College's Gamma Kappa chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota is holding auditions for American Musicale on Monday, February 15 at 7 p.m. in Wygal's Molnar Recital Hall. Anyone on campus may audition. Jennifer Fuller, Gamma Kappa's treasurer says, "People interested can perform a song written by an American composer or a composition they have written themselves." SAI, an international music fraternity for women, has been on campus for 39 years and has sponsored many similar concerts in the past. Dana Wheeler, president of Gamma Kappa, says "The musicale gives American composers the chance to have their music performed in front of an audience." Money raised at the concert through donations will go to some of SAI's national charities. " The Bold Note Music Program' and the 'Braille Transcription Project' are just a few of the organizations that will receive this money," adds Fuller. Wheeler comments, "The
American Musicale also celebrates the birthday of the SAI chapter at Longwood." The musicale will be held on Thursday, March 24 at 8 p.m. in the Wygal auditorium.

61-53 Win Over Liberty Monday Makes It Five In A Row It has been written that the last shall be first. The Longwood College men's basketball team, picked last in the MasonDixon Conference in pre-season, is well on its way to finishing first. Longwood survived over 3,000 frenetic fans to beat Liberty in Lynchburg Monday night 61-53, becoming the only Mason-Dixon member to defeat the Flames on their home courts this season. The victory, coming on the heels of a 74-71 win over Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday, gives the Lancers a perfect 5-0 mark in the league and a 15-6 ledger overall. Winners of five straight and eight of their last nine games, the Lancers host Atlantic Christian Wednesday night at 7:30 and visit Pembroke Saturday night, before returning home for the game of the season next Wednesday when MDAC foe Randolph-Macon visits. As the Longwood bus pulled away from Farmville to head for Lynchburg Monday night, Lancer coach Cal Luther told his team "Okay, now let's go to war!" The coach was right on target in his prediction of what was to come. In a circus atmosphere of flying toilet paper, fanatic fans and scuffles in the stands and on the court, Liberty and Longwood played a no-holes-

Flames supporters (bottom) were not so happy. barred basketball game which was televised on the Liberty Broadcast Network, a national cable outlet. "We expected this," Luther, referring to the zoo-like atmosphere, told a Lynchburg News reporter. "It (the noise level) was so bad two years ago, we
had to hold our timeouts out on the floor so we could hear." "We were prepared for coming over here. Yesterday (Sunday), I played the video from last year's game a t Liberty as loud as I could get it. I turned the volume up totally. It was so loud the players had to hold their ears. Then I told them, You won't be able to hear tomorrow.' " As has been the case since early January, Longwood won the game with its defense. Hampered by foul troubles (6-6 Greg Holloway and 6-8 Doug Poppe had three each in the first half)- Longwood went to a zone trap for much of the second half and kept the Flames off-balance. "We played exceptionally good defense in the second half," said Luther. "We forced Liberty to rush and take some quick shots, and our defense helped create a lot of break situations." Longwood recorded 10 steals for the game and five in the last 10 minutes of the second half when the outcome was decided. Liberty, which shot 834 (23.5 per cent) in the second half, held its last lead at 10:43 on a jumper by Brad Hamersley. A steal by Bobby Dobson started Longwood on a 10-0 run which put the Lancers up 49-40 with 5:52 remaining. A Poppe jump shot, layups by Dale Shavers and Joe Lowe, another Shavers bucket, and a jumper by Darryl Rutley gave Longwood a lead it would never relinquish. While the Flames stayed within striking distance, they were never able to get closer than four points the rest of the way. Longwood's biggest lead came at 0:45 on a bucket by Keith Latimer which put Longwood up 60-50. Longwood won despite hitting just 11 of 29 free throws (37.9 per cent). Liberty didn't do much better at the line, going 11-21. Lowe came off the bench for 11 points, three assists, a steal, and a block in 17 minutes of action. The 6-1 freshman has also ignited the Lancers with 8 points in an earlier 60-57 win over Liberty in Farmville. He was 8-8 from the floor in the two contests. It was Lowe who was involved in a "wrestling match" with LU's Charles Richardson with 2:11 remaining. Officials called a double foul, but the
play had no impact on the outcome. Rutley was the game's top scorer with 16 points and Shavers added 12 points, 10 in the second half, and 8 rebounds. Game honors on the boards went to Lancer Greg Holloway

It was Dobson, Poppe and Shavers who led the Lancers to a come-from-behind 74-71 over Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday. Dobson, a team sparkplug since regaining his eligibility in January, threw a lob to Poppe for a dunk with 1:08 left and hit two clinching free throws with 20 seconds remaining. Dobson finished with 11 points, six assists and five steals. Poppe scored 16 of his career high 22 points in the second half and did a solid defensive job on Pitt-Johnstown's Tyrone Doleman. Averaging 26.7 points coming in, Doleman scored 18 Saturday.

An exceptionally skilled passer, Dobson threw a lob to Poppe for a dunk which gave Longwocd a 72-69 lead with 1:08 remaining.

Shavers Proving To Be A "Big Man" On The Boards By MARK KIRK When followers of basketball discuss the common strengths of a guard, they usually speak of passing, ball handling, and occasional scoring. Rebounding is not mentioned in the same breath as these very often. However, Dale Shavers of the Longwood men's basketball team is blessed enough to be able to excel in all four areas. Shavers, a sophomore from Savannah, Georgia, has teamed with Doug Poppe and Greg Holloway to form a strong trio of rebounders, while individually excelling in other areas. Only 6'-3", Shavers has shown the ability to outrebound many of the opposing forwards and centers who have come to Lancer Hall this season. According to him, the main key to grabbing a lot of rebounds is to get better position near the basket than the opponent's big men. "Blocking out the other team's big men is my goal when I'm trying for rebounds," says Shavers, who averages around 5 rebounds per game. "It is important to get them out of the way because they are expected to grab most of the boards." Shavers accomplished this goal and more against two of the tallest teams in the MasonDixon Conference, Liberty and
Mount Saint Mary's. In the two contests, he pulled down 9 and 11 rebounds, respectively. In addition to his rebounding, Shavers has also excelled in the scoring column this year. Along with junior forward Darryl Rutley, he has been one of the Lancers' top outside shooters and 3-point threats. Shavers has also become a major inside threat since his move from point guard to shooting guard at mid-season. The change has freed him from the "passing first, shooting second" attitude that is often pinned on a point guard, and has allowed him to become more aggressive on offense. He also feels the move is important for the team because it allows the lightning-quick Bobby Dobson to play the point and places others in their correct positions. "The change has allowed Darryl Rutley and myself to move to the positions we are accustomed to playing," explained Shavers, who is averaging around 12 points per game. "Moreover, it puts Bobby Dobson in the game more and he likes to make us run as often as possible." All of the changes in the Lancers' lineup have also catapulted the squad to first place in the Mason-Dixon Conference. Shavers considers
the season a success thus far with a couple moments standing out in his mind. "Beating Liberty and Mount Saint Mary's was important to us because they were considered possibly the top two teams in the conference," he said. "Many teams had not expected us to do much this year because we were picked last in preseason. The success enjoyed by the Lancers this year is nothing new to Shavers. In his two years at Savannah High School, his team had a combined record of 58-6 and made it to the Georgia State Tournament both years. Moreover, he was named Regional Tournament most valuable player and team most improved player during his senior season. After his final season at Savannah, Shavers made his commitment to the Longwood basketball program. "My high school coach influenced me to come to Longwood. He knew Coach Luther and he helped to lead me here," said Shavers, who was named to the Par Bill's Tip-Off Tournament Team this year. He has not been disappointed with the school thus far, as evidenced by his statement that, "I am very pleased with Longwood College and I enjoy playing here."
