Greeks Donate To Rescue Squad Four Greek organizations at Longwood College donated $180 to the Prince Edward Volunteer Rescue Squad recently.

The three sororities and one fraternity decided to give as the result of a fund-raising campaign by a Longwood student. Debbie Collins, who thinks that the college should help support the rescue squad.

Debbie, a senior from Gretna and a member of Sigma Kappa sorority, wrote a letter to all the fraternities and sororities. asking for contributions.

"As I wrote in my letter, as long as we're here, we're part of this community.'' she said.

Supporting the rescue squad is our responsibility, too ... I saw that as a pressing problem."

Sigma Kappa gave $100.

Alpha Delta Pi sorority donated $50. Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity wrote a check for $20, and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority chipped in with $10.

Representatives of each group presented their checks to

Library Nears Completion

By LIZ RUSSELL The construction of the new library, located at the Southwest Corner of Pine and Redford Streets across from the Lankford Student Union will be finished on October 15. 1990. The library will be a 71,000-square-feet. two-story brick and precast concrete building, with a third level underground. It will provide state-of-the-art technology for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world, more reading space, more computers, printers.

CD-Rom work stations and more user terminals.

Mark Sarver, president of the rescue squad, on February 20.

Debbie is disappointed that other fraternities and sororities chose not to contribute, but she hopes they and other student organizations will keep the rescue squad in mind while considering future philantropic projects.

During the 1988-89 school session, the rescue squad made 125 calls to the Ixmgwood campus, said Dr. Nancy Haga, a Longwood faculty member and longtime squad member. Considering the expenses of gas. insurance, equipment and ambulances, each call costs an estimated $40 — or $5,000 for the year, she said.

Some 14 rescue squad members are Longwood or Hampden-Sydney College students, and many Longwood employees also have served in the squad. The squad's current president.

Mark Sarver, was graduated from Longwood last year.

ommentor Letters to the Editor Let Longwood know what's on your

To Monica Gilbert.

I did not write the letter you were referring to. but it expresses my feelings also. I have black friends as well as white friends. I have discussed this with some of my black friends, and they, for the most part did not understand, either. I see nothing wrong with wanting to be recognized as a race, but if there was a Miss White America, it would be considered racist

and would not be allowed to happen. Isn't this reverse discrimination? One is just as bad as the other, isn't it? How can the line between the races be erased when you continually point it out?

Angel Yeargain. '90 P.S. This is not an attack on you or your race, but rather on expression of someone else who cannot understand.

Dear Longwood.

Last week I read a letter to the editor about speaking out on matters that influence you. I would strongly agree that it is necessary to get your two cents worth, but I also think it's necessary to be informed. In this world there are very few things that one person has power over; what you do not know can kill you.

If we never found out to look both ways before crossing. (he majority of us wouldn't be here. We cannot survive in the world outside of this metropolis Farmvllle if we don't know what's happening outside of Farmvllle. The rumor is that the most passionale ,IIH1 motivated citizens in America are the college students, but I see no proof of this here. Honestly, how many Longwood students lead the newspaper or listen to the news on a daily basis?

It is not a very high number, in fact I'd bet more people

could review MTV's weekly countdown than the world's weekly events. At the beginning of the semester there was a letter discussing the heartbreak of not being given a bid; I'm sorry and I can feel for your mood of rejection, but come on! Don't we have anything better to do than mourn the loss of short lived friendship? How about mourning the loss of creatures that drown in the murky oil of Exxon's leavings, or of the millions who still today starve in Ethiopia, or the over 15.000 political prisoners who "accidently" died in South African jails over the past twenty-five years, or the thousands that are tortured in third world countries, or, if nothing else, the giant holes that are forming in our ozone layer!!!

Find out what's going on in your world, and act on it, please, for all of us...

Dr. Breil, professor of biology at Longwood. went to the University of the Andes in Merida. Venezuela, recently to explore the possibility of offering botany courses there for Longwood students. He met with several botanists at the University and also visited with the five Longwood students and two students from the University of Richmond and James Madison University who are studying there this semester through Longwood's Spanish in the Andes program.

"I also wanted to see as much of the countryside and the vegetation as possible."

Dr. Breil said. "I was taken on numerous field trips and saw some spectacular sights." He said he took slides everywhere he went in Venezuela.

Both of the International Studies lectures are open to everyone free of charge.

Honors Vs. Honor

By DENISE DAUBENSPECK Dr. Sandra Breil. head of the Honors Program, would like to clarify the distinction between the Honors Program and taking Honor courses. It is a general belief that a student must be in the Honors Program to take Honor courses. They are unaware that any Incoming freshman with SAT scores of 1100 or above or any student with a GPA of 3.25 or above may take these courses.

Dr. Breil believes that there are advantages to these courses. The classes are designed to hold six to fifteen people. The smaller classes allow the professor to

concentrate on the Individual.

It is also believed that these classes will stimulate more class discussions.

The upcoming semester will include more Honor courses. Among them are: English 100. 333 American Literature since 1920. History 120. Art History 261.

Calculus 261. and Antro.

103. There Is a speculation of an economics class being added to the list. A more detailed listing will be published at a later date.

The Census Is Coming!

An envelope will arrive in March containing an opportunity for recipients to determine government repre sentatlon for the next decade and help create a picture of life in the United States. It is the 1900 census questionnaire to be received by an estimated 106 million households.

Questionnaire delivery in rural areas will be made doorto-door by temporary employ-

ees of the U.S. Census Bureau. Delivery will begin March 5 and will take about three weeks to complete. In rural areas, door-to-door delivery helps ensure that no one is missed and will allow census takers to update ad dress lists and census maps.

Initial address-listing in rural areas was conducted last summer.

The U.S. Postal Service will deliver questionnaires in

cities and areas with street names and house numbers.

This will occur around March 23. Addresses and maps in urban areas were updated recently.

In addition, the census provides a picture of our nation's social and economic standing. Census statistics will be used by federal and state government to determine how billions of dollars in public funds will be dis-

tributed to communities for education, health care, day care, transportation and other services.

If these civic-minded reasons are not compelling enough, you should know that participation in the census is required by federal law.

This same law. however, strictly protects your confidentiality. No other government agency, law enforcement or local authority can

gain access to an individual's census responses under any circumstances.

And. prompt return of the competed questionnaire saves money. The Census Bureau has conservatively budgeted for a 70 percent mail response rate, but every one percent of households returning questionnaires above that rate will save taxpayers 10 million dollars.

scores on bars and our best all-around scores of the year."

Longwood had scored a record 172.0 last week in a meet with James Madison and got a 170.05 the week before Hiving three straight scores of 170 or better is unprecedented for a Lancer gymnastics squad.

Next up for Longwood is the United States Gymnastics Federation Division II Regional Meet March. 31. at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Longwood will be making its lllh straight trip to Regionals.

We should definitely qualify for regionals and stand a good chance for getting a better than usual seeding." said Budd. "Having three scores above 170 really helps."

He lost a 3-1 decision to Joe Wypiszenski of NebraskaOmaha, came back to beat Warren Tucker of Virginia State 7-2 and then lost a tough 9-8 decision to Russ Witzig of Southern Illinois Edwardsville on a penalty call in the final seconds of regulation.

"Charlie had a good tournament." said Lancer coach Steve Nelson. "He was very competitive and came close to placing. He just wasn't able to finish off his moves."

Nelson said that Wypiszenski. Parker's first round opponent, finished third in the nation last year. Parker had a great match despite the defeat. In his final bout.

Parker battled back from a 73 deficit to tie things at 8-8 and appeared to have the match under control. Then he was called for keeping his hands locked in the final two seconds.

The 177-pounder had won the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional in his weight class Feb. 25. making him the second champion in Longwood's history and the fifth wrestler to represent Longwood at Nationals.
