2nd Student Diagnosed With Meningitis; Vaccination Clinic Held On Campus Larae Turnout Demands Another Clinic

By BRADLEY OWEN. Editor Longwood students returned to classes on Monday. March 23. and were informed that another classmate had been diagnosed with menlngococcal meningitis.

The first Longwood student became ill the third week of February, was hospitalized, has recovered and returned to campus. The second case was reported to the administration on the afternoon of Friday. March 13. as students and faculty were leaving for spring break. At last report, that student was still hospitalized but is recovering.

The State Health Department and the college decided to offer immunization Injections to residential students at a special clinic on Tuesday. March 24.

Use of the vaccine Is generally reserved for control of outbreaks of menlngococcal meningitis. The occurrence of two cases at Longwood may be coincidental and Is not considered by state health officials to be evidence of an outbreak. However, because the two cases do represent a higher than expected incidence of the disease, officials are taking the added precaution of recommending the vaccine for residents of the two dormitories (South Ruffner and South Cunningham) In which the affected students reside. The vaccine will be available to other students on campus who want to receive it.

The administration decided to send letters to residential students only because the Health Department did not consider the risk factor for faculty, staff, and commuter students high enough to warrant Immunization for those groups. However, bulletins were released on campus Monday.

The Immunization clinic was held In the Lankford Student Union on Tuesday. March 24. from 10 a.m. until approximately 5:30 p.m. The health department In consultation with the administration decided to order 1.000 doses of the specially prepared vaccine. The college had refused to acknowledge that it knew the

Financial Aid Increase May Help

By CASSANDRA YELLIS Staff Reporter As tuition rates Increase, there Is a general concern as to whether or not financial aid will Increase as well. There may be help on the way for students who are Virginia residents and qualify for financial aid.

Each year. Longwood College, along with all of Virginia's state supported schools, is given an appropriation of money for stu dent aid from the state. This appropriation is based upon the student body's unmet financial need. When tuition Is raised, the unmet need increases, which raises the appropriation given.

However, this does not necessarily mean that more students will receive financial aid. For the 1992-1993 school year, the state added extra funds to the appropriation already set. According to Karen Schlnabeck. the Assistant Director of Financial Aid here at Longwood. approximately $640,000 has already been appropriated for next year. Along with this money. $500,000 more will be added for student need. However. Schlnabeck says "It is not Just a gift dropped on us." for If the appll cant pool increases, there will be no real significant change In financial aid money awarded. It must be kept In perspective. If the general applicant pool Is about the same, a majority of awards may Increase between $800 to $1,000. giving â– mallei

Increases to applicants who turn In their application later.

Schlnabeck also stressed that this money Is set aside only for those that are eligible. To obtain eligibility, a student must file an FAF form and be determined as having a financial need based on the results. Secondly, the student must be a resident of Virginia because the money is set aside for in-state students only. The student must also be taking enough credit hours to be considered a full-time student.

Eligibility requirements will remain the same as they have in the past.

Before Schlnabeck can. make the financial aid awards, which are usually awarded in May, she must figure out the unmet financial need of all the students who are eligible. The extra $500,000 will be added to the other aid funds available and award amounts then decided.

It will not be known exactly how much of an Increase students will receive in their Individual awards, or If It will Increase at all. It Is true however, that Longwood College has been given more money to work with, and many can benefit from It. Schlnabeck says "We are very appreciative that the state set aside separate funds. We expect the extra money to possibly help students so borrowing will not Increase as greatly as It could have without It

amount of doses ordered at an informational meeting held Monday night.

Dr. Brenda W. McCarter. of the local health department, said "Longwood students are health conscious." This statement proved to be true when by 2 p.m. 950 doses had been given and registration was put on hold with hundreds of students waiting to receive the vaccine.

McCarter stated that she "had anticipated 100-200 leftover doses," and that "the turnout has exceeded my expectations." As tension grew among the waiting students an additional amount of vaccine was located at nearby Lynchburg College. "We have ordered and are having delivered to this campus, by state police relay. 300 additional doses." stated McCarter. The extra vaccine arrived at approximately 4:45 p.m.

Because of the shortage of available vaccine a selective regls tration process was established at the clinic. McCarter said. "We are targeting students from South Cunningham and South Ruffner because we Identified those (students) as being at the highest risk ... and we want to get them vaccinated today."

McCarter then said. "We are going to register every student today, based on the numbers we are going to order additional vac cine and hold another Immunization clinic next week."

The second Immunization clinic Is scheduled for Tuesday.

March 31. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In the Lankford Student Union.

The cost is still $16.

Other members of the Longwood community who were assigned a low risk and Initially denied access to the vaccine will be allowed access at the second clinic. Commuter students, faculty, and staff have been requested to sign up before 2 p.m. on Friday, March 27. Commuters may call 395-2685: faculty and staff may call 395-2010; and unregistered residential students may register In the health center. The State Health Department still does not

consider commuter students or faculty and staff as high risk groups and has not recommended the vaccine for them.

Some students were agitated by the administration's handling of the entire situation.

Erin McCay. Commuter Student Association President, said. "I am outraged at the almost total lack of regard for the health and welfare of the commuter population of Longwood College. We received no Information about the meningitis cases. We commuters will no longer stand for being treated like second class citizens."

SGA President Darrell Wells stated that Though the school may have begun with good Intentions, they failed to properly Inform the student, thus creating anxiety and chaos. I have never seen such confusion In all my life. I feel that the State Health Department and Student Health Services handled their end well.

However. I feel that with regard to the administration Involved In the decision making process, many mistakes were made, such as their decision as to the content and wording of the letters sent to students and their families, as well as the failure to notify all members of the Longwood community. With a little more effort on the part of the administration, much confusion could have been avoided. I know that they believe that this was the best way to handle this situation, but I feel that the resulting chaos speaks for itself."

The main symptoms of meningitis are fever, nausea and vomiting, severe headache, dislike of light, and a stiff neck. The vaccine usually takes one to two weeks to become effective.

In regard to any additional cases. Dr. McCarter said "We will complete an epldemeologlcal Investigation trying to find common denominators with the other cases, and then based on those findings we will take appropriate action.

No additional cases had been reported as of press time.

LC's Expansion Projects Have Pluses and Minuses

By CHRISTY MOTTLEY Staff Reporter The past, having existed or taken place In a period before the present; the future, an expectation of what Is going to happen.

Longwood began at a time when women were not supposed to pursue higher education. Incorporated as a "female seminary" under the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia, by the spring of 1842, Longwood was ready for operation. By this time, one acre of land on High Street had been purchased from George Whltfleld Read, and one building had been completed.

In an effort to raise $300,000, the Incorporators Issued shares of stock at $100 a piece, a very modest sum by today's standard, a substantial amount In the 1800s. Enough money was raised to construct the one building and provide the other necessary Items to start a school.

In 1860 by expanding the curriculum, the Seminary became the Farmvllle Female College. It changed on April 7. 1884 from private to public status when the Commonwealth of Virginia purchased the property. At this time the Farmvllle College became the first state institution of higher education for women In Virginia.

After progressing through a series of name changes - the State Female Normal School at Farmvllle to the State Teachers College at Farmvllle - the "female seminary" became

Longwood College In 1949 and went coeducational In 1976.

Since Its beginnings. Longwood has continuously been expanding, not only In name and curriculum, in preparation for the future. However, some Farmvllle residents are not happy with one of the present expan slon projects.

According to Mrs. Vera Allen.

Farmvllle resident and owner E.B. Allen Funeral Home.

"Longwood's expansion proj< i Is have moved my home and busl ness once, and I. unfortunately, foresee this happening again."

When Mrs. Allen was first married she and her husband moved to a home on Madison Street which had been his child hood home, (presently the loca tlon of the physical plant).

After residing In this home for close to 15 years Longwood pur chased her home and business, for a "small sum" and she moved to her present location at 704 Griffin Boulevard. She has lived at this location for 24 years, and has seen a lot <>l changes. Mrs. Allen recalls the building of Lancer Gym. Lankford and the high rise dorms.

Race Street has recently been purchased In order for the new dorm to be built. This most recent expansion project, according to her. Is causing some anl mostly among local resld' According to Mrs. Allen, a lot of homes which were destroyed were first homes. It took those people a long time to get those

homes, since most were first homes financed through FHA loans." she stated. "Longwood Is paying a little more now for the property, however, it doesn't make up for the lost home and the anxiety." Mrs. Allen continued by saying that there Is no desirable locations for these people to go. "These people are upset and with good reason.

Ihey do not know where to go or what to do."

Up to this point, almost all expansion has been In a southerly direction. Mrs. Allen Is a member of an advisory council specifically Involved with I-ong wood's expansion project. The committee has suggested on several occasions, and hopes, that the expansion will turn In a northerly direction. However, Mrs. Allen feels thai this Is most unlikely BlnCS BOOM Ol I Bl mvllle's most historic liomes are located In this area.

The residents of Griffin Boulevard and the surrounding area are not happy with the In evltable prospect of Longwood buying up their streets; however, they do see that the expansion Is needed In order for LuUgfJOOd to handle the prospective Influx of students and to prepare for the future.

Longwood may have only started small - on one acre of land - but now the campus stretches out. encompassing a majoi portion Ol the downtown area.

Letters To The Editor

Breaking The Silence I am as much a minority on Longwood's campus a9 any Black, Oriental, Indian, or Hispanic. I am a lesbian and I feel as oppressed and Isolated as other minorities on this campus must feel. But. I can easily hide that fact because I effortlessly blend In with the majority on campus, on account of not looking "different.' Most people would say that I'm lucky because I can Just fit right in, and If I have to feel the way I do. to Just keep It to myself (never talk about It. write about It. or. God forbid, act on these feelings) and I'll be fine.

I am a very feminine young woman, with long wavy hair. I wear earrings and make up, and enjoy wearing everything from lingerie to dresses. I enjoy being a female Immensely and take pleasure In looking like one - which destroys the myth that all lesbians are dykes, who have short hair, a muscular build, play sports and never wear make up. Jewelry or dresses. Not all lesbians are masculine and athletic. Some of us are quite feminine, like myself, and others are neither very feminine or masculine, but Just in between. There are black lesbians. Jewish lesbians.

Hispanic lesbians, and Asian lesbians too, all of which are different from each other and the white American lesbian. However we all share the same sexual preference, which unites us all as one.

I should consider myself lucky that I look so "normal" and blend In so easily on campus, but most of the time It Is a curse.

Because I am so feminine looking, most people (male and female) assume that I have a boyfriend. Female friends of mine ask me about my current and past boyfriends and tell me about theirs. I have had experiences with males In the past, and therefore have stories to tell, but for the remainder of experiences I have to sli.ire. I must share the gender from female to male and I am tired of It. One couldn't think that Just changing a simple word such as "she" to "he" would make much of difference. It makes all of the difference In the world to me. though, because I can never fully Indulge my friends with all the details, the many thoughts and feelings that accompany those experiences, and receive the feedback and support that I need - because those experiences were with another female. A relationship between two lesbians Is very different from a friendship between two straight females, and even more different from a relationship between a male and a female. I am sick and tired of pretending that all my relationships have been with males, tired of giving my past girlfriends male names as a cover when 1 talk about them, tired of coming up with names of straight bars and clubs so I can tell my roommate and friends where I'm going Friday and Saturday night, when I'm really going to a gay club.

On the other hand. I am afraid to confide my gay Identity In anyone straight on campus In fear that I would lose all my friends, and be alienated and Isolated as someone "bad", "sick" or different." Sadly enough, my fears are not to unrealistic. I have listened to my friends and fellow classmates cheerfully make Jokes about homosexuals and also seriously discuss their hatred of us. announcing that they wouldn't want anything to do with "one", and that they hope we will all die of AIDS. Other people talk about how open-minded and accepting of diversity they are. but I strongly suspect that If they found out that their roommate, sultemate. or classmate were gay, they wouldn't be able to handle It. It utterly depresses me knowing that the friend 1 stayed up all night with - talking, laughing, watching TV and eating pizza with - wouldn't even look at me, much less acknowledge my presence with even a simple "HI" tomorrow if they were to find out I'm gay. It sounds drastic, but it is a reality, and it has happened to many a gay person In the past who has come out in a predominantly straight situation.

My sexual orientation Is a big part of me. I own It and take pride In It. but It becomes very hard to keep that pride going and remain self confident when every day of my life I have to deny that part of me and pretend It doesn't exist. It does exist, dammit, and I sometimes feel like running up and down the halls, yelling, "I'm gay, and proud of it!" but I can't. Most straight people condemn homosexuals as though we all are mentally deranged murderers. Homosexuals are actually very honest, moral, sensitive, and caring human beings and we deserve the same rights as anyone else. We Just want to exist with heterosexuals In peace so we can get on with our lives.

I am anxiously awaiting the day when people will no longer be discriminated against based on their gender, race, sexual preference, or ethnicity. I hope I won't have to wait much longer Tills article was submitted by UNITY (395-2552).

Editor, the Rotunda: This letter Is on behalf of the Society of fraternity, and we wish to address the letter sent by two "concerned" Individuals.

Our selection of the six professors during the month of November was solely the decision of fraternity. We have never appointed ourselves as voices of the student body, nor shall we ever do so. We perform acts because we see them as needed.

Our decision making process Is. and shall always be. democratic.

If the Individuals who wrote the letter contest our decision over the specific professors selected.

It would be logical for them to commend whomever they please.

We. as individuals and as a group, are able to commend whomever we please, for whatever reason we see fit.

If the logic in the letter pertains to our actions. It must then also apply to CHI. Who makes the decisions over commendations for that organization? It Is most certainly not by any sort of organized student vote, nor by any type of student poll. If fraternity Is to be attacked, then CHI must also be.

Tradition does not make an organization Immune to criticism.

The Individuals who wrote the letter appear to be concerned for the waning existence and purpose of CHI. It Is quite possible that they are members of CHI who have disguised their names to make it appear as though the student body is concerned.

Fraternity respects and encourages the existence of other organizations, such as CHI and Prlnceps. If they have a valid purpose and respect our existence. We see that each of these have different purposes, and motives for their existence. Fraternity, however. Is separate from the administration and therefore, a voice of the student body much more than CHI. Also. If the Individuals writing the letter possessed even minimal intelligence, they would see the important message and humour behind the 19 Polyester Lords. Look beyond the obvious, please.

Fraternity Editor. The Rotunda: I don't want to seem extremely picky, but I have a complaint about the library.

Most everyone can agree with the statement that the shelving system is perplexing. On Sunday. March 1. 1992. their system was made even more unmanageable. For some unknown reason, all the computers that contain call numbers, authors, and titles of

books were down. The absurd thing about this was that they had no hard copy back-up. So. the books were Inaccessible. My question Is: why Is there no backup system in case of an emergency such as this one?

Wake up Longwood. computers are not Infallible.

Sincerely, but a little disgusted.

Students Outgrow The Pain Together

Student Volunteered For Archeology In The Ancles A small piece of gray-black stone Is the only souvenir Tammy Johnson brought home from her sixteen days In the Andes Mountains In Chile.

Johnson, an anthropology major at Longwood College, said her souvenir Is no ordinary rock.

It is obsidian, a natural glass forged in the heat of ancient volcanoes in the high Andes Mountains.

• And obsidian Is an Important clue for archeologlsts studying the peoples who lived in South America centuries before Spanish explorers arrived on the continent.

Johnson went to Chile on Jan. 6 to Join a team of volunteers assisting with an archeologlcal-zoological botanical project called "High Andes Traders."

Archeologlsts believe that as early as 8000 B. C. native people of Chile were traveling in llama caravans between the mountains and the ocean, using natural resources from both land and sea and trading with other peoples along their routes.

The caravan network probably continued with little change for thousands of years.

The project, Johnson worked with "Is trying to link those trade routes from the central mountains to the coast." she said.

Ancient people valued obsidian highly. Thin flakes of the material are transparent." Johnson noted, "and they learned how to make mirrors with It." The sources of obsidian are lava flows high in the Andes Mountains, but pieces of the material, with markings indicating human use. have been found on the coast and at various -points between. Archeologlsts are documenting the source locations and obsidian samples found elsewhere to help them trace the ancient trade routes.

The "High Andes Traders" project Is endorsed and funded by the Precolumblan Art Museum and National Museum of Natural History In Santiago, Chile; the Grants Department of the Childean government; and Earthwatch. a global organization of citizens and scientists dedicated to studying and preserving the environment, endangered animal and plant species, and the cultural heritages of peoples around the world.

Johnson flew to Santiago (Chile's largest city with a population of two million) and then traveled four hours by train to Talca. The last leg of her Journey was another four hours by bus to the project site on the Maule River In the foothills of the Andes.

The gun will sound at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. May 2. at Hampden Sydney College. In previous years, the course has taken a turn down First Avenue to end at the Old Farmvllle High School. However, in order to better incorporate the race with the Fourteenth Annual Festival, the finish line has been moved to Jarman Auditorium on the Longwood College campus.

The course which Is a straight stretch from Hampden-Sydney to Farmvllle. Is mostly flat and usually produces some good times. During the 1991 race.

Richard Ferguson of Charlottesville crossed the finish line with a time of 32:24 capturing the overall men's title. Whereas Diane Pardue of Boydton captured the women's overall title with a time of 47:38.

It Is difficult to guess the number of people who have been victims of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse because it thrives In silence. But estimates are fairly high. Looking at the figures one might think that abuse Is becoming "normal." but Devlin states that Is never "healthy." She also believes that until the victim faces what has happened and they 'put it In front of them' they will never be able to put It behind them and truly be "survivors."

The Gyre. Is currently In the beginning stages of layout. The staff hopes to have this year's edition published and available during Literary Week, March 22nd 27th.

Due to the large number of submissions and the limited amount of time that the staff has had, publication may be delayed slightly. The Gyre should be out no later than the first week of April.

There were over 100 submissions of fiction, poetry, and flat art received. According to Andrea Sawyer. Gyre editor, final selection was based on the overall effect created by the work.

The staff was broken Into three selection committees: one each for poetry. Action, and art Each of these committees voted on each work seperately. Disputes over works that could not be solved within committees were settled by a vote of all members.

During the process of planning for the future students often realize how events in their past have shaped them. This Is a struggle for most, but It can be an even bigger struggle for those who were abused as children.

Cyndy Bergstrom Devlin of the Longwood Counseling Center has started "Outgrowing the Pain" for this reason.

"Outgrowing the Pain." a phrase she borrowed from the title of a book she uses with the group. Is open to anyone who was abused physically, emotionally, or sexually as a child. Devlin believes In group therapy because she feels that talking to other "survivors" helps the abused feel less Isolated. Isolation often manifests where abuse has taken place because neither the parents nor the child Is able to deal with the problem. For this reason "no talk rules." as Devlin refers to them, are formed. Once they arrive at college, the young adult, with more distance from the family, can more readily deal with the events In their past.

They were taken away at gunpoint because congregating was against the law. People were put on trial for thinking against the government. Mahmoody told of a newsperson who wouldn't say things about America that he knew were not true. She said his tongue was cut out and he bled to death.

Ms. Mahmoody said I hat women In Iran did not have any rights. It Is acceptable for husbands to beat their wives. If a husband and wife get a divorce, the husband will get custody of the children.

Many people In Iran were friendly to Ms. Mahmoody. She met people who wanted to help her escape. They offered her money and risked their lives to assist her.

Mahmoody said. "Cultural differences do exist and we will never have world peace until we recognize these differences. We should not try and Impose our selves on others."

Students Form Hemp Awareness Group

By THOMAS D. BIRCHETT. rV Staff Reporter Would you like to help save our planet? Our economy?

Would you be willing to put aside your prejudices and spend a few minutes educating yourself to do It? The Organization for the Development of Hemp Awareness has been created here on campus to give you these opportunities.

An Interest meeting was held on Friday. March 6. 1992. There were ten people In attendance.

One was a guest from Delaware who Is a member of Freedom Fighters, a national hemp awareness group.

The goal of the organization is to educate the public with facts about the hemp/marijuana plant and seed and the various uses they have and how they can benefit society.

President and co-founder George Edward Rust. Ill stated, "We do not advocate smoking marijuana. The purpose of our group Is to educate not only Longwood. but the entire Far-

mville area about the environmental and economic benefits that marijuana can bring to this country. We hope that through this kind of education we are able to provide the public with the knowledge to make an Informed decision about solving two of our Inevitable problems In this nation — those two problems being an environment that is a one-time shot and an economy that Is falling apart."

The group Is currently writing to H.E.M.P. (Help End Marijuana Prohibition). B.A.C.H. (Business Alliance for Commerce In Hemp), and N.O.R.M.L. (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) for more information. They are also writing to our local Congressman asking him If he is aware of the benefits that hemp/marijuana can bring and if he has an opinion on the issue.

Anyone with questions about the group and those Interested In attending the next meeting should contact Rust at 395 4047.

Student Elections Set (Continued from page 1) A major issue of this election will be commitment. SGA membership requires a strong commitment on the part of the officer, and the hope is that newly elected members will be serious about their role as a campus representative.

The officers will not only represent the students on a class level but also as a member of the SGA As a member, these Individuals will serve on committees that work to better Longwood College. Other responsibilities include weekly SGA office hours and the will to help out SGA In any way.

SGA members represent the students; therefore support In choosing these leaders Is very Important. If there are any questions about the elections, students can call the SGA office located In Lankford Student Union at 395 2111

Men's Roles Ignored In Helping Rape Victims (CPS) - They are perhaps the most Important people In the lives of a recovering rape victim - and. unfortunately, they are usually the most neglected people In the healing process.

Men. Fathers, boyfriends, brothers, husbands, male friends - men close to women who have been raped not only play a critical role in the victim's recovery, but face personal obstacles themselves as secondary victims.

"Men have a special role, and ironically they're often the ones left out." said Alan McEvory, a sociology professor at Wittenberg University In Ohio and one of the nation's leading researchers of secondary victims of rape.

McEvoy said that a recent study he conducted shows that only 12 percent of rape crisis centers offer support services or support groups for men who are secondary victims of the crime.

They make a critical difference." McEvoy said. Time after time, victims say that their male significant other had the most impact on them" following the rape. "Like It or not. men are a part of the recovery process."

In his book "If She Is Raped."

McEvoy and coauthor Jeff

Brooklngs deal with some of the problems secondary victims face and how they can help the women they love through the aftermath of rape.

McEvoy's book Is the one •Many men falsely believe In rape myths - for example, the belief that the victim Is partially responsible for the rape, or that the sexual act of the rape Is the same as "making love." The book encourages men to completely disregard previous ■ misconceptions about rape.

•Most men Initially respond to rape with "intense anger and a strong desire to seek revenge."

Although such feelings are completely normal, the book encourages men to control their anger because it simply adds an unnecessary emotional burden to the victim.

•Immediately following a rape, men should do several things — don't accuse or Judge the victim or suggest In any way that she enjoyed the experience; reassure her that she Is not responsible for the rape; and. because sexual assault robs women of a sense of control, men should allow women to decide what

McEvoy said men are often reluctant to seek help at rape crisis centers because many are called "women's centers" and because men generally "have a hard time showing emotional vulnerability."

"But this Is not Just a woman's problem. It's a male's problem as well as a female problem." McEvory said.

feel It defeats the original purpose of the trail to provide an on campus alternative In exercise.

The Campus Intramurals faced similar problems when the two volleyball courts were trying to be placed in front of Stubba dorm Collim explained these courts have become a part of Longwood s campus and are widely used. He feels the Illness trail would also become an bite gral part of lx>ngwood.

The book includes the following points: The Condom Men stock Includes glow-ln-the dark condoms, which Overbeck describes as "a kind of vibrant yellow," keychalns with condoms tucked Inside, and discreet matchbooks "so you won't be embarrassed If it falls out of your purse."

Valentine's Day saw a rush on cupids with condoms hidden inside.

"Really, there's more demand for run-of-the-mill condoms," Overbeck said.

He said the company Is downplaying the exotic protection Items and selling more "standard," or high quality,

The Condom Men, who get high marks from local health agencies and AIDS support groups, can answer most questions dealing with sexually transmitted diseases and provide literature on safe sex practices if requested.

Overbeck recalls his first delivery with amusement.

"It was raining very hard. A. girl had called. When 1 got there, r soaking wet. there was a poster on the door Instructing me to slip the condom under the door.

She slipped the money back.

She was either extremely embarrassed - or unclothed."

Overbeck's parents, described by their son as conservative, found out about his unusual entrepreneurial operation about an hour before he was making a local television appearance as one of the Condom Men. I had to tell them. It was a necessity. They were fairly sup portlve," he said.

Most people call for condoms at a reasonable hours, said Overbeck, except for a recent call at 4 a.m.

"I told them to go to the drugstore." he said.

Brown Calls For Department of Educaton To Be Abolished

By JEFF GOLDFARB CPS Washington Correspondent Editors Note: This is the first In a series of profiles on the presidential candidates and their views on higher education.

WASHINGTON (CPS) - While he was governor of California.

Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown claims he accomplished a great deal with regard to higher education.

During his administration, which started In 1972, Brown nearly doubled the funding for state universities and community colleges, and tripled money devoted to equal opportunity programs.

1 called for higher standards In high school, requiring three years of math and two years of science for graduates, with even more stringent requirements for the college bound." he said In a statement from his campaign of flee. This led the California State and University systems to raise entrance requirements In math."

Now that he Is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, the former governor has vowed to abolish the Department of Education.

It Is massive bureaucratic waste," he said. "It educates no student Brown said the savings from eliminating the department "should be returned to the states to Improve classroom Instruc tlon."

Brown also said federal grants to college students are better than loans.

"What we're seeing Is almost an Invisible disease that Is turning students Into long-term, almost lifelong, debtors." he said.

In response to a United States Student Association questionnaire, Brown said he supported raising the maximum Pell Grant to $4,500 and expanding eligibility for Pell Grants to students from families with incomes between $30,000 and $50,000.

"As a nation we ought to make the commitment that anyone who can make the grade and fulfill the academic requirements ought to get the financial assistance to attend." he said.

In order to generate funds for Increased grants. Brown told USSA he would "Institute a flat tax and amnesty, cut government spending and shift funds, Including substantial funds currently budgeted for the military, to education."

Also In the USSA survey.

Brown said he would support House Resolution 271 and Senate Resolution 236. which ask President Bush to rescind the Department of Defense policy barring lesbians, gays and bisexuals from military service.

Because students frequently utilize the military as a means to pay for college, the issue has come to the forefront on campuses nationwide.

Brown advocates the Introduction of sophisticated technology to the classroom. There ought to be a computer on every student's desk In America." he said.

The trip allowed the players to tune-up their game and practice on different types of playable surfaces. It also allowed them to develop some consistency to better their singles and doubles game.
