Poet Laureate At Longwood By BETTY BRYANT David Gamache. of Charlottesville. is a published poet. But a few short years ago. he hated poetry. "When I was in high school, we analyzed' poetry." Gamache said. "I hated it with a passion. Talking about the meter of a poem turned me off immediately." Now a senior business major at Longwood College. Gamache submitted six poems last fall to the American Poetry Anthology. Four of his poems were chosen for publication in the 1990 edition of the anthology. Encouraged by that success, he sent several more poems recently to the World of Poetry contest. He received Honorable Mention" in that competition, and one of his poems will be included in the next edition, to be published in April of 1991. "About two years ago. I was dating a girl who wrote
poems — really morbid stuff," Gamache said. "I thought if she's writing those crazy things, so can I. So I tried it." He wrote several poems and then put them away out of sight. "When I found them a year or so later. I decided they were pretty good," Gamache said, "so I wrote a few more." Three of his poems in the American Poetry Anthology deal with 20th-century Christianity. Gamache said. Their titles are "Faith." The Traveler." and "Purple - The Color of the Praetorium." These poems "express my feelings about what we are losing, and what we are doing to ourselves by abusing what we have been given." he said. Gamache said he "has no idea what inspired the fourth poem. It Just came to me." He called it "Moonlight." Moonlight creeps across the ground Casting shadows down and
down revealing much of never told into the night they unfold. Reaching to hearts of those who hear. It's like a love none can see. Gamache plans to enroll in a Wilderness Education training program next summer. He will complete requirements for his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree from Longwood in December of 1991. After that. 1 want to open my own small business, an outdoor recreation store," he said. And on the weekends 111 teach outdoor skills." In the meantime Gamache will keep on writing. "Lately I've written a few short stories," he said. "Maybe I'll send them off to some publisher. Who knows what can hap pen?"

All proceeds raised from Run For The Roses go to
benefit the Log Cabin Preschool facilities and provide a scholarship fund for a needy child to have the preschool experience." said Katie Anderson the event coordinator. "Last year's proceeds helped to pay for some much needed repairs and improvements to the facility and there are still many more improvements that need to be addressed. Since we are our funds are limited and we depend heavily upon fund raising to keep us moving ahead. We've had a lot of support from the students at Hampden Sydney College too. they've been Just great about volunteering to help with projects like remortaring the sixty two year old structure, cleaning the attic and helping with this event. The Log Cabin has served as the loca
tion since 1966 for this community preschool which was founded in 1954. I think its important that people know something about our background." she added.

It really Is a special place that has touched the lives of hundreds of children and we want It to go right on doing that.

COMMENTARY Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor, I am a senior here at Longwood, and many things have been bothering me since I returned to school this semester. When I came to Longwood in the fall of 1987. it was great. This school did what they could to keep us happy and quiet. But every year it got noticably worse, but bearable. This year is awful. No one cares about the students. It seems that the college is out to do everything in the hardest way possible and the most inconvient to students. Let's start with the parking situation. It's about time that freshmen aren't allowed cars, that was a good decision. But just because freshmen cant drive does not mean it ,was necessary to take away park-
ing spaces. A few here and a few there really do add up after a while. And we still have to walk too far to get to our rooms. Next— the phone system. I can never get a line off campus. With the number of people here, there should be more lines going off campus. Every time my mother has tried to call me this semester, she has been connected with the wrong room. What if there were an emergency and she couldn't get in touch with me because of this "GREAT" phone system? Let's move to the Dining Hall. The food is awful. Okay so we were spoiled with Sheri Nunn all of those ages ago. but give me a break. The food this year took a big nose dive.
The food is unedible. They could go easy on the salt and the grease. Are they trying to kill us? And why can't I sit where I want when I go to eat? Every time I enter the Dining Hall someone tells me where not to sit (balcony or right side). I could understand if they were cleaning the tables but no one does any work while I'm there. Speaking of the Dining Hall, why can't we have new IDs every year? Haven't they figured out yet that we destroy them and get new ones once a year anyway? The Library is the ugliest building I have ever seen— It's striped, it has no windows, and it matches nothing else on campus.
has a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. You can sit either outside or Inside, and service is quick and efficient. Pino's behind the high rises, is a nice pizza place with reasonable prices and good food. Service there is also quick and efficient. RJ.'s. out in the shopping center where Roses is located. I have heard Is also a fun place to go. with deli-style food and courteous, friendly service. These are just a few places in Farmville which I have discovered and enjoyed. If you ever grow tired of dining hall food, or you simply want to go out somewhere, the restaurant£ above are good choices. Now, as far as activities are concerned, I have compiled a small list: a. Join Woody's Video Village on Main Street. Membership is free and movies cost only $2.61 per night. That is the same price as the Nintendo games that are rented out. One can also rent out

MAIL, £ SYffcAJ?...
Nintendo machines for about $5 for 2 nights. b. Go to the flea market. The flea market is a large, metal building on Main Street, down past the railroad tracks. If you are not interested In second-hand things or antiques, this place is probably not for you. But if you are interested, they sell all kinds of neat old things. It's worth the trip. c. Go to Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes is a state-operated park with a beautiful man-made lake and beach, and picnic tables where you can sit and eat. There are also a volleyball court and hiking trails there. The cost to get in is approximately $1.50, and it is half an hour away. These are only a few suggestions. All of these places are fun places to go. and cer tainly beat sitting In your room moping around. There are things to do in Farmville; It is only a matter of getting up and taking the trouble to look.

Give Farmville A Try!?! By CHRIS JONES This being my first article for the Rotunda, I thought it might be interesting to explore an issue of concern to many students: What is there to do in Farmville? I have heard students griping and complaining about this problem — myself included — and I thought it might be helpful if I provided a list of ideas which some of my friends and I have discovered. First of all. I will tackle the subject of where to go. People often want to go someplace off campus, but they do not know enough about Farmville to know where. They have not taken the time to explore the town, or they do not think it would be worth their while. This is where they are wrong. I know this because I felt the same way. until one day a few friends and I went out to see the town of Farmville. A very nice place to eat is Macado's. right near Popes off Main Street. Macado's is a great sandwich shop, which
Last but not leastGovernor Wilder speaking at graduation. Who could be so stupid? They have asked the man who cut the education budget to speak at one of the best education schools in the state. I have not talked to anyone who Is happy about him being here for our graduation. This angers me more than I can express on this piece of paper. After four years and $20,000 I deserve better. All I can say is I'm glad I'm graduating. I love Longwood. but I can't bear to watch what is happening here. And no one seems to care. If the school keeps operating in this fashion. I won't be sending my money to the alumnae association. A Concerned Senior

A Question Of Security By BARBARA LEE ZWIRNBAUM 8:30 a.m.. Monday morning, after a long nights drive you get to sleep in ... BANGBANG ... Brrrrrr-Brrrrrr ... What is that noise? It's your new security system! It hasn't been finished and. yet, it's still a part of your daily life here at Longwood. Is it worth it? We don't have very much problem — given we are no VCU. but safety is an impor tant factor in our dairy lives. This past week there was a "scam" in some of the residence halls. None of the occupants lost out on their money, but it could have meant hundreds of dollars. When the new security system is activated it will filter incoming persons, so that this will not happen again. It will be aggravating at first; there will only be one door in use and visitors will have to be cleared the front desk. It will be done by Thanksgiving and information will be handed out then. Once we do have this system it will depend on us. the students. We must not prop open the doors. If you want to prop doors, please leave a sign with your room number and directions. Besides, when the doors are closed, the building keeps the temperature. In this student's opinion, it's more than worth the noise, because that will go. and my possessions will stay! •Thanks to Pam Lea and David Reddig.

NEWS War On Rape Starts On Campus As 12 million college students start back to classes this week, the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica Hospital Medical Center has asked college students and administrators to Join them in the fight against the campus rape epidemic by supporting the first comprehensive na tional campaign against campus sexual assault. At a press conference yesterday. "L.A. Law" television series stars Susan Dey and Corbin Bernsen joined Rape Treatment Center Director Gail Abarbanel to announce the national program which includes a new 20-minute
film about campus sexual assault. The film titled. "Campus Rape." is hosted by Dey and Bernsen and has already been distributed by the Center to more than half the universities in the country. The Center encourages college administrators to adopt the film as part of orientation programs for all incoming students. The film was recently endorsed by the National Interfraternity Conference, which distributed copies to its members. 'The goal of the campaign and the film is to reduce the epidemic number of campus sexual assaults." stated
Abarbanel. "Recent studies indicate that each year, one in every six college women is a victim of rape or attempted rape and one in every 15 college men admit to committing sexual assault." In addition to the film, which contains important information about rape and prevention strategies, campaign materials include powerful ads and posters for colleges to adopt, and proposals for state legislation requiring colleges to implement written procedures for handling sexual assault cases and mandatory rape prevention programs for freshmen.

"Students must understand that rape is not sex: it's an act of violence with devastating consequences." stated actress Dey. who thinks the film is a valuable resource in educating students by exploring campus rape and its impact through interviews with four college women actually assaulted on college campuses. "I hope our film will help reverse the alarming campus rape statistics." Actor Bernsen cited his support for the campaign, commenting. "Men must take a strong stand against rape. The campaign gives college men an opportunity to become part of the solution, rather than part of the prob lem." "College students are more vulnerable to rape than any other age group." said Abar banel. "To compound the problem, studies have shown that more than 90 percent of campus rapes go unreported. Our campaign provides colleges with effective materials and programs to end rape on campus." "College administrators and student groups have to work together to solve the problem of campus sexual assaults." said Jonathan Brant, executive vice president of the National Interfra ternity Conference. "We strongly endorse the cam paign and have distributed the film to our members nationwide to initiate student support of this effort." To specifically address col lege administrators, the Rape Treatment Center mailed its booklet. "Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges Can Do." to every college presi dent. The booklet urges adoption of a 10-point rape prevention program model
"A COMEDY TRIUMPH!"
which includes mandatory educational programs about rape, increased disciplinary hearings for offenders and comprehensive programs for assisting victims. The Rape Treatment Center has also been a pioneering force in initiating tougher sexual assault legislation As part of its national campaign. the Center has called upon governors nationwide to sup port legislation requiring col leges to have a written | cedure for handling sexual assault cases, similar to a new California law supported by the Center The Center is also encouraging the stales i<> require thai colleges provide rape prevention information during freshmen orientation, as New York state recently did. Abarbanel also com mended the many talented members of the entertain ment industry who con tributed then time and made the film and ads possible "Campus Rape" was written by Emmy award winners Al Ian Burns and Seth Freed man. Compact Video donated film duplication services. The public service ads and posters were contributed by the prea tigious advertising agency
Dailey and Associates. Abarbanel said. The cam paign's recommendations are inexpensive, yet effective. They will help reduce the in cidence of rape on campus and ensure that victims are not revictimized by an Insen sitive system." The Rape Treatment (en ter (RTC) at Santa Monica Hospital Medical Center was founded in 1974. It is nation ally recognized for its model treatment, prevention and education programs.

By GLENN HARRINGTON Unlike in high school, being called a freshman at Longwood is not a taboo labeling. Here, the attitude of being a freshman seems to be looked upon as merely having four more years of school and four more years of new experiences. Kelly Dobbins, a small, tanned, and shy freshman who hails from Lynchburg. agrees with that opinion. Kelly graduated 65 out of a class of 300 students from Heritage High School in Lynchburg. In addition to her regular classwork. she participated in flag corps, track, softball. Varsity Club. Pioneers Against Substance Abuse. National Honors Society. Future Homemakers of America. History Club. Key Club. Spanish Club, and even as editor of the school newspaper. Kelly says she enjoyed her involvement in high school and she was never bored! However much Kelly says she misses her friends back home and in high school, she also looks toward her future here at Longwood. She Is at present a psychology major with hopes of eventually be-
coming an elementary education major. "I'm really interested In psychology because It helps you understand and Identify with people, and I'd like to have that understanding to help teach kids." she says thoughtfully. "It deals with people." When asked why she chose Longwood over other colleges, Kelly responded that it was Longwoods close, personal atmosphere, and was "close enough to home without being too close." The biggest changes Kelly has had to adjust to in her college life has been making new friends, living without her parents, modifying her schedule to fit in time to study, and most of all living and learning to share a confined room with two others. Although Kelly and her roommates get along very well and have many things in common (such as enjoying the same music, burnt food, boxer shorts, and the smell of Drakkar cologne). Kelly was an only child and is not used to sharing a small room with others and waiting to take showers. "My roommates and suitemates and I kept fighting over times to take showers, so
finally we got together and made a schedule and worked things out." Kelly explains. When speaking of Longwood's campus in general, she states that she "likes it". "I like the fact that all of my classes are within walking distance, and that they are in classio-like buildings, she says. "Also the professors are pretty nice and seem very helpful." "I don't like the Wynne building." she commented. Its too far away and doesn't look like it belongs (to the rest of the campus)." "I would also rather have two people to a room rather than three. It's so crammed, and I hate fire alarms at three in the morning." Kelly is currently involved in intramural bowling, attending church, and women's rugby. She says she doesn't plan to Join a sorority at pre sent, but may in the future. "Right now. I Just want to concentrate on my school work and get used to being out on my own." Kelly asserts. Kelly plans on graduating from Longwood. and said that gives her plenty of time to de cide what she wants to do. "It's already hard to find time to eat." Kelly concludes.

Field Hockey Team Drops Tough 2-0 Decision To Radford By CHARLEY JACOBS The Longwood field hockey team traveled to Radford University last Wednesday, dropping a difficult game to the Division I opponent 2-0. The loss, the team's seventh in a row. brings the Lady Lancers' record to 1-8-1 for the season. The contest, which was played on a rain soaked field under threatening skies, was evenly matched through most of the first half.

With ten minutes remaining in the first period the Lady Highlanders cleared the ball, pushing the ball behind the Longwood defense. The

Our offense seemed to come in flurries." Radford dominated the second half, pushing the ball deep inside Longwood's side of play for most of the period. The Lady Highlanders second goal came during circle play midway through the half. Despite a late charge by Longwood that resulted in three additional shots on goal, the Lady Lancers failed to score a point for the third straight game. In action this week the Lady Lancers travel to Lynchburg College on Wednesday for a game scheduled at 3:30.
