May Day '68 A Success
In spite of the difficulties of moving the May Day Activities to
Jarman because of a rain threat, May Day was a success. Marilyn
Bates and her various committees should be commended for their
various parts in coordinating May Day and producing such a fine
May Day program.
The thirty-minute May Day program is a light way of terminating schoo1 activities for the year It draws together faculty members,
students, and parents This year May Day was attended by a large
group of parents, students, and faculty Jarman Auditorium was almost filled to capacity The day was brought to a culmination with
a dance on Saturday night
May Day has something to offer everyone It is a wonderful way
of completing the school year There are many Longwood traditions
that the school could do without, but let us hope that May Day will
continue to be an annual event here, an important Longwood tradition
Robert Short, the well-known author
of "The Gospel According to Peanuts,"
will speak at Longwood on Tuesday,
May 14, at 1:00 in Jarman Auditorium.
Mr. Short, who has lectured all over
the country, is being jointly sponsored
by Lambda Iota Tau, the English and
Foreign Language Honorary, and the
Jarman Series. Mr. Short's visit is
largely due to the efforts of Dr. Herbert Blackwell, who has had to give
up the sponsorship of Lambda Iota
Tau since his appointment as Dean of
the college.
The new sponsor of the society is
Miss Gail Y. Okawa. The entire student
body is invited to hear Mr. Short
speak about his Biblical and moral
interpretations of the comic strip
"Peanuts."
Does She Or Doesn't She?
1
Are some of your friends blonde
by preference? Have you noticed a
'Brownette' turn into a blonde in three
easy applications? Or have you ever
seen the campus hairdresser who
streaks and tips others' hair with an
old shower or bathing cap? How about
that permanent that was given in Post
Office bathroom that was so stifling
that no one else could bear to enter. . .
Maybe Curl Free does the job better
than U.N.C.U.K.L., but neither application aids those with weak lungs. Disregarding the side effects caused by
those treatments, it is important to
realize that damage is done to the
hair whenever an alcohol or bleaching
compound is applied.
Just as a great number of girls
bake in the sun for hours to get that
"all-healthy tan," even at the expense
of harmful blisters and painful burns,
so, too, girls mistreat their hair,
Whether "blondes have more fun" is
a question debated recently on a television special, to which all brunettes
promptly answered, "Have more fun
than what.'" How can we be sure that
we attract more attention as a blonde?
Simple scientific application proves
tli.it light colors (white) reflect more
light while dark colors absorb more
light. Unless we want to be classed
as "absorbing brunettes," we get out
our Light and Bright and start to work
on transforming our coloring.
After several "in-lightening"
weeks, browns become platinum or
honey blondes at the expense of their
hair texture. Often over-bleaching
causes the strands to dry out and beniine brittle from lack of natural
oils. This causes splitting and unnecessary broken ends. Look carefully at the next "bottle blonde" and
notice the results of a social faux pas.
Why can't we be content with our hair
as it is naturally? Do we feel compulsed to change its color?
Then, too, the girl who streaks
her hair runs into nearly as much
trouble as the peroxide blond.s becauM the streaking must be repeated
every four or five weeks if the highh tit ing is to be effective. Not only
is this a time-consuming process requiring at least two people, but also
it runs Into quite u expense. Consider
your pocksfbook before going blonde
because it's a certainty that a minimum
of $5.00 a month will be spent on hair
: upkeep,
Ken the nil who is tired of her
tie.ikni ii.iu, there is a "reversed
trotting" procedure designed to give
i to the previously bleached portioni, This process is expensive, but
(or the girli who yearn to return to
theii on. uul color and spare the expaw
t.mt trotting treatments,
tUfc
reverse frosting is the answer. If she
decides to become a blonde again,
her
chances for natural looking hair
"survival" are lessened. If your mother's linens can't stand several bleachtag treatments, how can you expect
your hair t0 stay ta peak condition?
There is a paradox with girls' hair
styles. Those who have straight hair
want curls, and those with naturally
curly locks want straight hair. Why?
I guess the problem is as psychological as that of brunettes wanting to be
blondes and blondes wishing they had
raven-black hair. But these whims are
satisfied with permanents and hairk
relaxers. Both products are effective
not only in doing the job they advertise, but in ruining hair textures,
Hair straighteners are particularly
harmful. If you don't follow the instructions exactly, you may end up
with six months' growth of unmanageable hair. Sometimes hair that has
been relaxed is brittle and breaks off
to the scalp. Professional beauticians
should straighten hair; the home
straighteners are often ineffective and
more damaging. (Besides, if your hair
is still curly, you can always go back
to your hairdresser and have it restraightened free of charge.)
But, the fact remains — we just are
not happy with what we already have
and with what we are. A person who
finds peace and contentment doing the
simple tasks (like homework. . .Ha!),
may have her natural hair coloring,
straight or curly; or she may find
these colorings and straighteners helpnil for her. Nevertheless, changing
your hair style and color won't change
'he real you. Let's put our stock in
more intrinsic, not materialistic
values. This summer, disregard the
"does she or doesn't she," and think
ta terms of self-satisfaction- "isshe,
or isn't she a genuine person?"

Survey Shows Low Drug Usage,
Relatively Few Illegal Drugs
ITHACA, N.Y. - (I.P.) - In a determined effort to clearly identify students' attitudes and experiences toward
the use of illegal drugs, Ithaca College
recently completed a survey of its student body. The four-page written survey was conducted under the auspices
of the Illegal Drugs Control Committee,
a student-faculty-administration body
started last spring to prevent drug
usage among students by educating
them about the dangers involved.
Results of the survey were "gratifying. . .revealing a much lower drug
usage than estimated" according to
two faculty members who conducted
the survey, Dr. J. David Hammond,
administrative officer of the college's
Health Center, and Martin Rand, assistant professor of psychology and
author of the survey.
It is estimated that only eight per
cent of Ithaca College students are
currently involved in the regular use
of any type of illegal drugs. The two
men labeled the survey unique. "We
believe it to be the most extensive
of its kind — possibly the first - yet
conducted on an American college campus," said Dr. Hammond.
Slightly more than 2,000 of the coed school's 3,300 students completed
the survey. Also identified in the survey was the sex, class standing and
academic curriculum of the respondents.
Marijuana emerged as the principal
drug used by students. Survey statistics indicate that approximately 22 per
cent of the student body have tried
marijuana, either during high school
or after becoming a college student.
Only 15 per cent have used marijuana
on more than two occasions.
Dissatisfaction with marijuana after
use was shown in another way by the
survey. Of the 22 per cent of users,
only one quarter of them said they
have tried the drug in the past three
months.
"This limited usage — one or two
times - indicates that such students
wished to satisfy their curiosin,"
explained Dr. Hammond. "They apparently found their contact with it
unsatisfying and may well have no
further association with marijuana."
Survey figures indicated that relatively few illegal drugs other than
marijuana are used on this campus.
Only three per cent of the 2,000 students said they had ever used psychedelic drugs.
Several popular conceptions about
what students think of drug usage
were shaken by the survey. For one,
the survey indicated that a vote among
iits on this campus to legalize
<f marijuana would be defeated. Fifteen per cent of the user
1 marijuana should not be
A full 66 per cent of tin
nonuser groui
se sentiments,
ond, the college campus atmos-
phere is not solely responsible for
students using drugs. Many college
users began taking illegal drugs before their freshman year.
Third, rebellion is not the sole
criterion for students using illegal
drugs. Followers, or those who do
what the leader in their peer group
does, begin using drugs simply to
"belong." Sometimes being "with"
their group means drinking; other times
it means using drugs.
Finally, the popular conception that
"wide spread usage" of drugs exists
among coUege students may well be
erroneous. "Very few colleges have
taken the steps necessary to attain
relatively accurate statistics," points
out Rand. He explained that students
who use drugs naturally tend to associate with other users. These users
can honestly say that "nearly all the
students I know use drugs," and therefore expand this to the belief that the
majority of all college students do so.
Rand also pointed out that drugusing students tend to believe that
"most other students use drugs too"
as a way of rationalizing their own
nonconformity.
These two factors - both of which
add up to incomplete data - must be
kept in mind when trying to determine
how serious a drug problem a campus
may have, he said.
The Third Spring Concert presented by the Longwood College
Concert Choir, directed by Dr.
Molnar, will be on Monday, May 20,
at 8:00 p.m., in Jarman Auditorium.
All students are invited to
attend.
Musical selections will be
varied.

Strindberg's "Ghost Sonata"
Ends Play Production Season
By JANET WALSH
A rewarding and enjoyable season
for the Longwood Players and Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs came to a successful close with the production of the
"Ghost Sonata," by August Strindberg.
Jim Rhodes' forceful acting ability
dominated the stage for his first entrance to his final exit. The statuesque
actors in the background, and the excellent props and lighting were effective
in achieving Strindberg's desired mood
of mystery and the supernatural. Into
this compelling atmosphere Jim Rhodes
as Mr. Hummel intrigues and fascinates the audience, luring them towards
a revelation of the progressing suspense.
Warren Fulton and Frank Faust
must be commended upon their good
performances in the dinner scene. Suspense and eerie tension was sustained
by the methodical and stiff actions
of the dinner guests. Pat Holmes makes
a startling impression in the dinner
scene.
The scene between Arkenholtz and
the Young Lady, portrayed by Neil
Aird and Marilyn Greene, respectively,
was the culmination of the anguish and
mystery which occurred throughout
the play. Neil Aird was very eloquent
in the closing scene and the impact of
"The Ghost Sonata" lingered long after
the curtains were drawn.
It was generally agreed that "The
Ghost Sonata" was a thought-provoking
play which could be interpreted on
many levels. Dr. Lockwoood should
be recognized for his effective directorship of such an enigmatic contemporary play. It was a confusing play,
to follow for those who had not read
"The Ghost Sonata. "However, the production was well-presented and left the
audience with a stirred-upimagination.
Archers Succumb
To Westhampton;
Meet R-MC Here
The Varsity Archery Team traveled
to Westhampton College last Wednesday
for a meet with the Westhampton archers. The L.C. team had some trouble
adjusting to the range and targets as
was evident at the end of the match.
Jane Erdman, captain of the Longwood
team, was high for L.C. with a score
of 451. Jane placed second in the match,
and Carol Reese of Westhampton came
in first with a 463. Ttie opposing team
also took third place with a score of
444 shot by Pat Smith. Other scores
for Longwood were: Ginny Sire - 411,
Donna Tribby -319, Frances Sale-298,
and Arlene Cundiff - 257.
The overall match score was Westhampton 2,099 and Longwood 1,736.
Longwood lost its first match to Madison College by a mere 15 points. The
team has one more home match scheduled for the 15th with Randolph-Macon
Woman's College.
Four members of the Longwood
H20 Club participated in a six-way
synchronized swimming meet at East
Carolina University in Greenville,
North Carolina, on Saturday, May 4.
The other schools participating were
Converse, Agnes Scott, Winthrop, Old
Dominion, and East Carolina.
Elinor Umbdenstock placed second
in the stunt competition. She and
Stephanie DuRoss placed third with
their duet, "Trolls" taken from the
water show. The team number,
"Candy" from the water show, also
placed third. Swimming in this number
were Barbara Carr, Stephanie DuRoss,
Anne Crigler, and Elinor Umbdenstock.
Anne Crigler placed fifth with her
solo, "The Sound of Music." Longwood placed fourth over all - First
Place: Converse; Second: East Carolina; Third: Agnes Scott; Fourth: Longwood; Fifth: Winthrop; Sixth: Old Dominion.
Four members of the Longwood
tennis team, accompanied by Miss
Harris, left for a tennis tournament
at Mary Baldwin College Thursday,
May 2.
Some of the twenty-one schools attending the tournament were Florida
State University, Bridgewater, Radford, Madison, Mary Washington, Mary
Baldwin, Westhampton, Richmond Professional Institute, and Mississippi
State College for Women. The girls
representing Longwood were Laurel
Baldwin, Lynne Coleman, Marcia
Franklin, and Anna Pettis. Mississippi
State won first, second, and third
places in the singles competition.
Lynne and Laurel, both Freshmen,
were eliminated in the first round,
while Marcia, a sophomore, continued
until the second round. Anna, who is a
junior, met defeat in the third round
by the defending champion from
Mississippi State, Andrea Martin. The
Longwood doubles team, Marcia and
Anna, were defeated by Hollins College.

Staff Retires After 153 Years Service
By LIBBA BALL
Five members of Longwood's staff
are retiring this year. Dr. George W.
.Jeffers, Mrs. Mildred Davis, Miss
Mary Pomery Nichols, Dr. C. G. Gor-.
don Moss, and Mrs. Virginia Lindsey
were honored Monday night at the "Old
Timers' Club" banquet, an organization of local Farmville old timers who
have served as members of Longwood's
faculty or staff for 20 years or more.
The club has no officers or constitution, and only meets to have a banquet
in honor of those who are retiring
from Longwood's services.
Dr. George W. Jeffers, one-time
head of the biology department, heads
those retiring. During his 42 year stay
on Longwood's campus, Dr. Jeffers
has won outstanding recognition on the
state, as well as the national level.
During 1940-41, he headed the National
Association of Biology Teachers. Later
he was president of the Virginia AcadeGcorge Eliot: A Biography

my of Science. From 1943-45, Dr. Jeffers was selected as director of a
special study of the Chesapeake BayFisheries Commission, financed by the
Rockefeller Foundation.
A native of Newfoundland, Dr. Jeffers was once a professional fisherman,
following his father's occupation. At
22, he entered as a freshman at Boston University where he later did his
graduate work. He received his doctorate in 1931 from the University of
Toronto.
What made Dr. Jeffers go to school?
"I was off the coast of Newfoundland
fishing," he began, "and I was hungry.
It was then that I decided to earn
enough money so I wouldn't have to be
hungry again! I couldn't depend on fishing for three meals a day - so I decided to go to college."
Dr. Jeffers took his post on Longwood's campus in 1926. "At the time I
needed a job," he admitted; "I didn't
choose Longwood, she chose me!" Dr.
Jeffers has had two interests—"women
and fish." While here, he had kept a
log book entitled "Biology At Longwood" which dates back to the founding
of our college in 1884. In this book,
Dr. Jeffers has included the student
government president, the heads of the
biology department and the staff and
also the lab assistants. He also has a
record of all the biology majors and
minors.
Asked why he was retiring, Dr.
Jeffers answered mildly, "Well, I was
born in 1897, and you can't work past
70." After retirement, he plans to
"find somebody with a boat and go
back to fishing!"
Mrs. Mildred Davis, the former Miss
Mildred Dickinson from Hampden-Sydney, began her stay at Longwood as a
boarding student her last two years of
high school. She graduated here in 1922
and received her masters degree at
U. Va. in English. She has completed
summer studies at U. N. C, Cornell
University, and Bread Loaf School of
English in Middlebury, Vermont.
She taught English and history in
Puerto Rico for two years and completed 12 years' teaching in Virginia
public high schools. During her 24 year
career at Longwood, she has been acting head of the English department
twice, in 1950 and 1953. The following
year, Mrs. Davis was president of
the Virginia Association of Teachers of
English. She has headed Kappa Delta
Pi, Boerc Eh Thorn, and Lambda Iota
Tau.
She has been to South America and
has traveled extensively in Europe
twice. After retirement she plans to
see more of her two grandsons and
take a Mediterranean cruise and see
the Greek Isles. "I've talked and thought
about Greece for so long in the
'Odyssey;' now I'll get to go there."
Asked why she retired, Mrs. Davis
throughtfully replied-"I promised myself that when I began to feel that I
wasn't as effective a teacher and that I
could not change my way of teaching,
it was time to quit. If I have any
criticism of Longwood girlstoday," she
added, "it's that you don't seem to have
enough intellectual curiosity - you just
don't disagree with the professors as
you once did. However, the greatest
difficulty a college professor has to
meet is that we are dealing with young
people at a time in their lives when we
have to compete with biology. Perhaps
under the circumstances we do very
well!"
Miss Mary Pomery Nichols from
Petersburg is also a Longwood graduate. A member of the class of 1923,
she boasts that during the time she was
here, she attended State Normal School,

Ixmgwood. Although she h?s taught 45
years, she holds a 39 year Longwood
service record during which time she
has been in three different departments: Modern Languages, History and
Social Science and English.
Miss Nichols gave instruction In
Spanish while enrolled as an undergraduate and also attended the Middleberry School of Spanish as a language
student. In 1928 she received her master's at U. Va. She has done graduate
work at Columbia, University of Colorado, Ohio State, Duke University and
Oxford University.
Miss Nichols has traveled extensively around the world and in the United
States.
C. G. Gordon Moss (named Charles
George Gordon by his father after an
English general killed in Egypt in the
1880's) is a native of Lynchburg who did
undergraduate work at Washington and
Lee and received his doctorate at
Yale. Dr. Moss has been in teaching
since 1921 andfrom 1947-1960 heheaded Longwood's department of History
and Social Sciences. He was dean of
the college from 1960-1964, and has
served twice as the faculty advisor for
Judicial Board.
After teaching at Episcopal High
School and a stay of 12 years at Mary
Washington College, he returned to
Longwood's campus. After retiring, Dr.
Moss plans to continue "my work with
the Prince Edward Community Action
Program and the Prince Edward Council on Human Relations — people are
my hobby," he explained.
Mrs. Virginia Lindsey, laundry
manager since November, 1941, is retiring after 27 years' service. Mrs.
Lindsey graduated in 1925 as a chemistry major and a minor in home economics. She "attended" Longwood most
of her life. "From the time I was three
years old, I took kindergarten courses
in West Wing. My elementary and my
high school days were spent on LongChevrolet

wood's campus, too - it was called a
'training school' at the time."
After graduation, Mrs. Lindsey
helped with the family laundry business until her appointment here.
Heading a staff of 17 until her official retirement in November, Mrs.
Lindsey plans to move to Florida to
be near her daughter. Anyone who has
met Mrs. Lindsey will appreciate her
clever wit and undaunted humor.
