Longwood Still Growing AMBER GILES Staff Writer Recently, the buzz around campus by students has been focused on President Cormier's plan to increase enrollment at Longwood College to 5,000 by the year 2007. Many students have mixed reactions to this plan and wonder if it will change the student oriented atmosphere Longwood has acquired and kept for many years. In the past two years, Longwood College has been experiencing rapid growth in the areas of enrollment, technology, and housing facilities. Due to this growth parking has become an increasing prob-
lem and the green grass around campus is gradually being replaced by new construction projects. But, along with some unpleasant changes, new and exciting ones have been introduced to the students of Longwood. Last year, Longwood College was proud to unveil a nationally accredited School of Business and Economics with the opening of the newly renovated Hincr building. There was also an additional parking lot added behind the Stubbs Residence Hall to increase junior/senior parking spaces. Last fall, Longwood had

New Communications Major Possibly Coming in the Fall DAVE BROWN Staff Writer There will soon be a new major available to Longwood students. Pending approval of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (S.C.H.E.V.), Longwood will be offering a degree in Communication Studies, likely beginning next fall. The program will be general in nature, although decidedly comprehensive Unlike programs at other schools, where Cormminications majors must chooae a specific track (such a* journalism or telecommunications), the Longwood program will offer courses in a broad range of areas. Students can look forward to courses in gender, intercultural, interpersonal, and small group communications, among others.
Currently, Longwood offers a minor in Communications through the English Department. The lack of a Communications major, however, has put Longwood behind the times in mat many colleges and universities, both in Virginia and around the country, have state-of-the-art Communications programs. This new program, which will be offered through the Department of Speech and Theatre, will put Longwood on the cutting edge of communication technology and education. It will emphasize computer skills in relation to Communication Studies through such courses as Communication Technology, a class designed to leach students a variety of software and computer technologies

EDITORIAL Do Longwood College students have rights? If you asked any student or administrator if they did, you would quickly be assured that students have rights just like everyone else. Do we? What do you think? Let me explain. It has come to my attention that a banner was put up on the 3rd floor of the Cunninghams this week. It said something like, "It's not too late: Don't go Greek." It was basically the opposite of the "It's not too late to go Greek" signs on campus. It was not offensive (in a profane way). It simply stated someone's opinion. We are allowed to express our opinions, right? Apparently, some higher ups
felt the need to take down the sign in the Cunninghams, which leads me to write this. Let me clear a few things up before I begin. First off, I am neither for or against Greeks. Granted the sign was somewhat non-Greek, but there was still no reason to take it down. A student expressed their opinion in a nonviolent and non-profane way and for someone to force the removal of the sign was very ignorant and one-sided. Who has the right to say that a Greek organization can put up a flyer trying to "recruit" new members, but a non-Greek can't? Excuse me, but that is a bit unfair don't you think? Aren't there some articles in this nice docu-
ment called the Constitution that say we have the freedom of speech and press? I believe so. I feel certain that they apply to Longwood students. Whoever was in charge of this clearly broke that rule. I would have understood this better if the sign had some obscenity or was not appropriate. You can't just tear something down because you don't like it! I may not agree with some things, but I understand that my beliefs are not the same as others. I would think that in a school of over 3,000 people, Longwood would be more sensitive to this. Well, apparently not. Melissa Gill Editor-in-Chief

He said.. .She said What do Men and Women Really Want? KEVIN ROCK Calendar Editor Women, can there be a more difficult topic to deal with? You think you know what they want, or what they're thinking, but you can't. It's too difficult, I gave up trying. You would have a better chance of finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow then figuring out exactly what they want. Especially when they say something and mean something else. What are we Psychic?! How are we to know what you are thinking? There is also those impossible questions that we can't answer but they always want us toThey are: What are you thinking about? Do you love me? Do I look fat? Do you think she is prettier than me? What would you do if I died? They want to go to the movies for a chick flick or dinner and flowers, and just get pamperd. Come on ladies, it gets old after a while. No need for the flowers or cuddling or little talk, just go out and have the fun. Go out, get naked, have fun, live once to the fullest!
MELISSA GILL Editor-in-Chief So what do guys want? It is hard to tell really since they are not exactly the most communicative sex. Men say women are hard to figure out, sure they are, but you have to use your brain to be with us. I know it is hard, since most men think from their peruses, but hey, it could happen. As I see it, men are like blenders, you need them, but you aren't sure why. It takes a very ignorant man to assume that all women are the same in what they want. One of the main reasons that the two sexes can't get along is because of their inability to get over the stereotypes. For example, I along with the majority of women do not worry about how fat I am or if my man really loves me. I am far beyond that. Not all women are these indecisive, bitch one minute sweetheart the next types that wish to be pampered and cuddled all of the time. Until men realize this, we are never going to get out of the situation.

The Non-Greek View KIM URANN Assl. News Editor First of all, let me state that I am not against organizations of any kind. Now, with that out of the way, I would like to spend a few moments ranting about the one week of the year when the differences between us non-conformists and those who choose to conform become more obvious: Recruitment Week. It's bad enough that we are subjected to mindless hordes of people walking around looking exactly the same just about once a week, be it with T-shirts or fifties-style pregnancy jumpers. Now, we must be excluded by people who are among those ranks.
Without naming names, I went through an experience that caused many problems with a few of my friends. A good friend of mine is involved in a sorority, and some higher power told her it was wrong to go to lunch with me because I am a non-Greek female. I have no problem with people feeling that they must pay for their friends or with people who like to look like everyone else they hang out with. It becomes a problem when my friends are not allowed to be my friends because I chose not to pledge or because they chose to pledge. I have no intention of pledging a social sorority of any kind for any reason. It seems pointless to me in all that they rep-
resent. But, hey, if that is what you want to do, then by all means. I just know that I have enough of a personality to choose my own friends. I do not restrict myself from being friends with those who choose to be in a sorority, but I loathe someone telling my friends they cannot talk to me. That's not right. And maybe the Greeks have their reasons for doing that. I still believe it is childish. I wish some of the sisters would launch a protest against this foolishness. I understand that they will not, though, if only just because it would be unfaithful to the same people who are trying to put a wedge even further between the Greeks and non-Greeks.

Picture of The Week
The Greek View WENDYKIRKFnTRICK Opinion Editor First of all, please let me make it clear that we don't like wearing the jumpers. It's just one of those little traditions that we don't want to break. Now I'll get down to my once-a-semester explanation of why Greeks can't talk to non-Greeks during Rush (oops! Sorry Damien, I meant Recruitment). None of us like Strict Silence. We don't like feeling like stuck up snobs, but there is a good reason that keeps us from actively protesting it Our restriction on talking to non-Greeks is for the benefit of the Rush.. .Prospective Members (oops again!). The idea is to keep Greek women from influencing non-Greeks outside of Recruitment parties. The term is Dirty Rushing (I guess thai would be Dirty Recruitment now). It may seem stupid and we hate it
as much, if not more, than you do but it is necessary. Not only that, no matter what campus you go to, if there are Greeks, that same rule will apply during Recruitment. The rules are established by the National Panhellenic Council, not anyone at Longwood College. Now it's my turn to rant. I don't mind constantly explaining to the less educated about how Recruitment works, but I do mind being insulted. I do not pay for my friends. I pay to support a tradition and a beautiful ritual that I hold dear. My dues every semester support our National Office and our local activities, both social and service related.. We dress alike on some days because we are proud of our letters and want everyone to know it, and the jumpers, although not exactly attractive, are surprisingly comfortable. I realize that not everyone wants to be Greek, but
please understand that it's so much more than matching outfits and Recruitment parties. For me, it built self confidence, offered leadership opportunities, and introduced me to a group of women that would do anything for me and I for them, and I am proud to call them my sisters. Strict silence is probably every Greek's least favorite part of the semester, but we know that it has to be done to make Recruitment fair for both the Prospective Members and the Sisters. We don't like not being able to eat and socialize with non-Greek roommates and friends for a week or more. Our goal is most certainly NOT to drive a wedge between Greeks and non-Greeks. But if you have such a close-minded, ignorant view of Greek life, then nothing anyone can say, Greek or not, will be able to change your opinion.

NEWS & VIEWS Big Siblings Give and Receive KMBERLY URANN Asst. News Editor Longwood College is full of people who would make great role models. Some of these people take personal time and effort to volunteer with the G.I. V.E. office and, more specifically, the Big Sibling program. This program offers students the chance to help out in the community. Being involved in the Big Sibling program is as rewarding for the Big Sibling as it is for the Little Sibling. It is not overly stressful work, but it requires dedication. This semester's new Big Siblings were chosen just a week ago, and most met their Little Sibling for the first time on Thursday or Friday. It can be a hard thing to meet someone new and adjust to the fact that they are now your little sister or brother.
One student, Marissa Clark, found this to be an exciting experience. "The kids were all so cute, but my Little Sibling seemed kind of shy. I know she will become more outgoing though, and I can't wait till we can spend more time together," she said afterwards. A lot of the reasons a child becomes a Little Sibling has to do with their home environment. Many come from backgrounds different from what we at Longwood are accustomed to. Some are from broken homes or little money. Most of them lack sufficient role models to guide them through life and growing up. This is where Longwood students come in. As a Big Sibling, it is important to show the child what is expected of him or her in society. That is not all that we do, though. We spend time with the child, and we let them know that they are worthy and re-

spectable. For some of the children, a Big Sibling is the only stable thing they can hold on to. There are never enough Big Siblings, either, and the program needs your help. Although it is too late this semester, the G.I. V.E. office will accept applications at the beginning of next semester for new Big Siblings. It is open to students from second semester freshmen to senior status. If you have the time and energy to devote to a child who desperately needs someone to look up to, you are encouraged to apply. The Big and Little Siblings will be marching together in the Oktoberfest parade on Saturday, and are looking forward to coming together to show other students the faces of the children that are being helped. They hope to persuade others to volunteer for this program
GEORGELANUM Asa. Features Editor Where's WLCX? If you have despairingly tuned to 90.1 on your FM dial only to hear static, fear not. Longwood college radio will be back on the air this week. During the summer, the transmitter, which sat high upon the roof of Jarman Auditorium, was for some unknown reason turned off. When the transmitter was turned back on. it was not working. It has been out for repairs for the past four weeks. It was returned to campus and reinstalled on Friday. However, it was not connected to the tower, hence no WLCX yet "One of the biggest problems is communication," said general manager Matt Bur-

ton. At the first meeting, over sixty people turned out, but attendance has gone down since. "Attendance has gone down due to problems." Burton remarked, "I think we are getting a raw deal. We got things together, but I guess we just ran into some bad luck." In addition, WLCX will be moving from class D to class A in the next semester. Before the end of spring semester, WLCX will have a new frequency and a new broadcasting range, reaching from Keysville to Cumberland. With these changes, WLCX will have a new face and a renewed voice. If you are interested in becoming a DJ, WLCX has meetings on Sunday night at 8:00 in Hiner207.
Initial plans are underway by the Richmond, VA., architectural firm of Clark Nexsen to create schematics for the renovation and new construction of Longwood College's Jarman Auditorium. The Virginia State Legislature has allocated $100,000 that will allow schematics to be drawn for what will eventually be a $5.8 million construction/renovation. Built in 1951, Jarman Auditorium is "worn out," said current Longwood Theatre Department Chair Gene Muto. "The building needs not only mechanical and electrical updating, but also cosmetic repairs." Even with the numerous theatre classes now being taught, and the number of theatre students having risen from six to sixty in the past thirteen years, Jarman contains only one classroom. The new construction will provide additional and muchneeded classrooms, as well as student-oriented labs and a small theatre, which will provide a more intimate setting for theatre classes and productions than the current 1150-seat auditorium. Also, Jarman Auditorium is
a "shared space." The community uses it for fund-raising and public education events, concerts, commencements, and touring groups, none of which are theatrebased events. In the past, there have been numerous scheduling conflicts; however, the addition of a small theatre should alleviate many of these problems.The addition to Jarman will occur off the west wing. Dr. Muto also stated that the renovation will consider the "architectural integrity of the other buildings on campus, as well as concern for the aesthetics of the community." Also being considered is an access road for arriving and departing buses, which will alleviate traffic congestion and assist in the safety of those boarding and departing from these buses. The schematic phase will continue through the end of the year and by July 1, 2000, Longwood hopes to secure funding for the actual construction. According to a recent article in The Farmviile Herald, if the state provides planning money, construction funding will follow.

Coach Mark Leeder plans on making the entire basketball program at Longwood a whole new ball game. He is trying to change the mindset and give the team a winning mentality with a lot of enthusiasm. In the future he plans to recruit players who were on winning teams and who are already used to these attitudes. Coach Leeder is used to winning.

classes ever that ranked ligh with competitive SAT scores, GPA and other evidence of students' readiness for colege. According to Ed Smith, the director of assessment and institutional research, in one year the enrollment grew 4% with a jrojected student population of 3600 this fall. With returning students exceeding 80%, Longwood surpasses the national average for ligh retention rates. What's going on at Longwood to cause so many students to want to come lack after the first year? Dean of Students, Tun Pierson comments, "It doesn't happen by accident" The combination of Longwood seminar, orientation and a sense of community within the residence halls is what keeps students here. Many students fear the growth at Longwood will deter future students from previewing he school because it will lose its student -oriented, community atnosphere. It's small size seems o be the overriding reason why nost students pick Longwood as their first choice. In response to that concern bierson comments.

head coaches. Coach Leeder has been coaching basketball since he was 22 years old and he said that the one thing he comes into every season thinking is "To work hard every day!" Leeder wants to get the students and faculty to come out and support theteam as well as the community. "The whole program is going to be different so the guys should be fun to watch," said Leeder about the team. As for this season, Leeder says that he wants to raise the team's expectations and keep them raised all the time. Playing hard and adjusting to the new changes will be the team's goals for the season. "They are all really good kids. They just need to work harder," said Leeder about the team. He and his wife Jodie, have a two-year-old son, Michael. Leeder is a Coral Springs, Florida lege will continue to hire faculty that are committed to students and the profession." Many positive effects can be gathered from this growth now and in the future. The new Director of Housing, Mike Clements, points out, "The fact that Longwood College has embraced technology is a huge step forward. We have one of the top, if not the top, business departments in terms of technology. The value of your degree on the open market for jobs will increase." Clements adds, as Longwood explands in the areas of technology, enrollment, and off campus housing, its reputation will grow as well. Another concern of students around campus is housing.There is limited available space left on campus to build new residence halls. This question was posed to several administrators and asked if juniors and seniors would ever be forced to live off campus like many other larger colleges and universities? The resounding answer from several administrators was "No". New contractors and developers are looking at the Fannville area, and more townhouses similar to the Longwood leased Stanley Park Townhouses will most likely be built in the future. A higher percentage of upper classmen will be encouraged to move off campus, but there will still be a place
Native and a graduate of Florida State University. "I'm very excited about the opportunity to be the head coach at Longwood," commented Leeder. "The College administration, campus community, and facilities are in a place to enable us to be successful. I look forward to turning this program around and taking it to the championshipcaliber level of competition that I was fortunate to experience this past year." Coach Leeder also recruited a new assistant coach as well, Marc Hostetter. Hosteller is a 1998 graduate of the University of Southern Indiana where he served as an assistant coach during the past two seasons following an outstanding four-year playing career with the Screaming Eagles. So come out and support them for their first game, November 23.
that they will need to master for a career in Communications. Dr. Gene Muto, chair of the Speech and Theatre Department, offered this preview as to what the program will be like. "Our Communication Studies program has a core of twenty-one credit hours strictly in Communication Studies, but then students may select up to twelve elective hours in other areas such as English, Technical Writing, Business, etc. So it is really interdisciplinary in the very best sense of the word." The fact that the program has not been officially approved by the S.C.H.E.V. has prevented it from being advertised to prospective students. Once it is approved, students can expect to hear plenty. Students interested in learning more about the program can contact Dr. Muto for details.

You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. Clones are people two. Go ahead and take risks, just be sure that everything will turn out okay. Strange! No one ever says, "It's only a game," when their team is winning. As I said before, I never repeat myself! If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didnt zigzag? Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Think "Honk" if you're telepathic. Why is there no butter in buttermilk, no egg in eggplant, no grapes in a grapefruit, neither peas or nuts in peanuts and no ham in a hamburger?

Movie Review: Blue Streak KIMURANN Assl. News Editor Martin Lawrence steals the show, once again. This time, however, he is given what he deserves-a movie to show his comedic ability without having to fight for scenes with an equally adept co-star. This is a different Lawrence than we know. His character has qualities from his TV show, Martin, and his most popular movie. Bad Boys, but it is better than how we have seen him before. It is a funny movie, even for those who do not necessarily enjoy Lawrence. His usually obnoxious characteristics are not prevalent here. Maybe this is because he

has the ability to carry the whole movie, and he knows it. Not to say that he is that different in Blue Streak. He just does not need to scream ovar costars in order to get a laugh. And he gets laughs galore. The plot centers around Lawrence as a jewel thief who stashes a diamond in a construction area while dodging police. He is sent to jail and when released, he discovers that die site is the new LAPD. The rest of it is pretty obvious: he does whatever he can to retrieve this huge diamond. Blue Streak doesn't lose its appeal, though. It never becomes dumb or slap-sticky (like I figured it would). â– All in all. it seems someone has successfully made a movie worthy of Lawrence's talents.
KATRINA STEVENS Staff Writer For business partners Kristel Chapman and Jeffree-Fue Hudson, opening Illusions this past July was a dream come true. Illusions is a lingerie store that offers a wide variety of items. From hippie-style skirts and tops to leather teddies, there is something to appeal to everyone. Illusions is a cross between Victoria's Secret and Fredrick's of
Hollywood (class+trash). The atmosphere is classy and intimate. When I went to visit. Chapman was friendly and knowledgeable. She showed me the matching bras and underwear, which they carry in all sizes, and most can be special ordered if needed. One can easily find lingerie for themselves or that special person. So the men don't feel left out, there is a section for them as
well. From silky boxers to "naughty" underwear (Check out the frog and elephants). Students get a 10% discount with their student I.D. Checks are welcomed and gift certificates are available as well. You can also choose to put it on layaway. Illusions is located in the building behind Macado's.

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers Return With Californication MELISSA GILL Editor-in-Chief I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They have been around so long, but they still manage to make excellent music. I have always liked their high energy style. I remember first hearing "Breaking the Girl" a very long time ago and knowing that this band was indeed supercool. Their newest release, Californication, does not disappoint. This album marks the return of former guitarist John Frusciante the band. His influence is definitely obvious on the songs. The Chili Peppers are notorious for switching guitarists. It seems that in each recording process, there is a con-
flict of sorts. Be it a drug problem, an inter band conflict, etc. they still manage to produce a great album from all of the chaos. There are a wide variety of songs on this album ranging from
funk to rock to pretty. My personal favorite (also the first single from the album) is "Scar Tissue".
This is a beautiful song. I can listen to it over and over again and still have that mushy feeling in my stomach. The music is beautiful, the vocals are beautiful, it is just a great song. But that pretty feeling does not last long. As soon as you get used to it, you get punched in the face with songs such as "Parallel Universe" and "Californication." There is nothing incredibly different about this CD. There is a great balance of pretty songs, funky songs, and rocking songs. The Chili Peppers do not disappoint by any means. To me, it follows the same Chili Pepper style. I really enjoyed it and I hope you will too. STARS
