Title Bearing Dance Troupe to Perform
One of the Souths best
dance companies will perform
at the Miss Longwood Pageant
on Saturday, March 19, in Jarman Auditorium at 8 p.m.
The Karen Sherrill Dance
Arts Troupe has won more than
50 first-place awards in dance
competitions throughout the
East and South. The dance
company is from Mooresville
and Statesville, NC.
The company consists of 15
dancers, 12 of whom hold or
have held pageant titles. Titles
include Carolina Dogwood
Queen, Miss Statesville - Dogwood Queen of Carolinas,
North Carolina Rhododendron
Queen, Miss North Carolina
Queen of Hearts, North Carolina Junior Dogwood Queen
(two), North Carolina Queen of
the Carolinas, North Carolina
Cinderella Queen (three), Junior Rhodendron Queen, and
Junior Dogwood Queen.
Two of the dancers were
chosen from hundreds of contestants to be "Caravan Kids"
with the Dance Caravan that
toured the United States in
1987.
Karen Brown Sherrill,
director of the Dance Arts
Troupe, is a regular featured
performer in the Miss Virginia
and Miss North Carolina
Pageants. She owns the
Academy of Dance Arts and is a
former dance instructor at
Mitchell College.
The group also includes two
singers who have won numerous vocal competitions.
"Feel the Rhythm" is the
theme of this year's Mis*
Longwood Pageant. The
dancers will open the show
with the theme song, "The
Rhythm Is Gonna Get You."
They will open the second half
with a tap/clog dance to "Born
to Boogie." Later in the show,
they will offer a Vegas-look
with a medley of dance tunes of
the 1980s.

Dear Editor:
After reading your column in
the Feb. 22 issue of the Rotunda, I have come to some
very unpleasant conclusions.
First, by using the column
as a grudge match directed towards one individual, you have
proven yourself very unprofessional. The purpose of the Rotunda newspaper is to inform
and entertain, not to complain
about the actions of another
person.
Secondly, by calling a fraternity the "Alpha Pigs", you've
shown yourself to be extremely
unethical. I believe you're bordering on slander.
Finally, you off-hand comments about the fraternity's
short attention span and their
not taking their dishes up
makes me wonder. Is it possible
that you are everywhere at one
time? Do you know the entire
fraternity? Do you know any of
the guys in the fraternity? It
seems you've incorrectly based
your opinions of the Alpha
Sigma Phi's on a single experience with one guy.
If you were trying to be
funny - you missed. And if you
were trying to teach them a
lesson, all you've accomplished
is enraging an entire fraternity
and lowering your readers' respect for you and the Rotunda
newspaper.

A Student
Dear Chapman:
Two students sent me the
February 23, 1988 Rotunda
editorial. I urge and expect you
to do something about the
matter described. This is the
sort of activity that causes our
fraternity program and
Longwood to be second class.
I would be very pleased if
you would advise Charlie
Warner and myself about what
you intend to do. I am embarrassed for you and for all of us
as instances of this nature occur!
Phyllis Mable
Dear Editor,
I would like to comment on
your editorial left week about
the "Alpha Pigs".
First, you said their
behavior
was juvenile.
However, you did not bother
calling your own behavior
juvenile. Throwing a wad of
napkins at a table in the dining
hall is not only immature, but
it also adds to the destruction
of the dining hall. Could you
not get up, walk over to the
table and aay, "Excuse me."
Second, the "pet" name you
gove the Alpha Sigs can be
taken as slander along with the
comment about their attention
span being short. I suggest that
you watch what you write.
Last, I do not think you
should isolate the problem of
leaving dishes on the table to
the Alpha Sigs. Everytime I
Dear Alpha Sigs and Their
Supporters,
Allow me to quickly address
a couple of your statements.
First off, my comments were
not meant to be slanderous. I
guess my liberal-minded,
northern sense of humor
missed its mark. Didn't mean to
totally offend anyone.
"Unprofessional": I could
have written my editorial as a
letter to the editor and signed
some bogus name on it, taking
cover behind the shield of
anonymity as you have. Instead, I stated who I was, what I
had experienced, and what I
thought of it.
"Purpose of The Rotunda":
Everyone else gripes here should I be denied this privilege?
"Unethical": What about
GDI? I'd rather be called a "P-
Mr. Chapman Kester
President
Alpha Sigma Phi
word" than a God damned
anything. You think GDI is a
cute label? That's what Alpha
"P-word" was meant as. I
picked up on a pun that was
staring me in the face, just as
almost anyone else would have.
"Juvenile": I could have
walked up to the table and confronted those involved. As it
stands, I had profanities yelled
at me - who knows what they
might have done had I approached them.
I did not state my opinions
on the whole frat at all. You're
right, I don't know many Alpha
Sigs very well. I said I thought
the few members of the fraternity involved in this particular
incident were idiots for doing
what they did; not the whole
fraternity.
I was not attempting to
"teach a lesson", but to point out
a trend that is potentially developing. Sorry if this
"enraged" the Alpha Sigs.
From what I can see, pride
and respect for any fraternity
or organization while one is
representing it is important and
should be second nature. This
should not have to be pointed
out by those around you.
I would like to repeat from
last week that if it is only a few
guys representing the group
poorly, then I hope the others
will help them clean up their
act.
Cathy Gaughran
Dear Editor,
I am writing this in response
to the new quiet hours procedure recently imposed upon us
by the Dean of Students. When
I first heard of these 24 hour
quiet periods during the week,
I thought it was aimed at
stereos that disrupted classes
in Stevens and possibly Hiner
during the day. This was fine
with me in that I live in Curry
and didn't think that this
ruling would affect me to any
great degree. Boy, was I wrong.
Little was I to know that
this unvoted on rule would
have the sole consequence of
enabling power hungry RA's to
harass otherwise innocent
students when they're trying to
alleviate the eternal boredom
that curses this institution.
Now I'm like the next guy who
likes to have people over to my
room during the week; this
offers a good tension release
from classes, and it's only
natural that music will be a
part of this. Well, according to
some RA prowling the halls, my
stereo could be heard outside
and bingo, warning #1. So we
turned it down and soon forgot
about this dreaded warning.
Later the same night while the
stereo was still down, the door
happened to be open because
some of my guests were
preparing to leave. As fate
would have it there was another RA outside giving us
warning #2 because my stereo
could be heard in the hall. The
clincher came on the weekend
when we were issued our third
and final warning 5 minutes
after quiet hours began by the
eagle eyed RA watching the
clock.
Now as a result of these
previously competent RAs'
behavior, my stereo receiver
has to be confined within the
campus police building for four
weeks. Now it doesn't bother
me that this procedure wasn't
properly addressed like the
honor code issue last semester,
and it doesn't bother me that
others in my dorm make more
noise than I do (including
screaming and running up and
down the halls) without so
much as a peep from these
RA's; it doesn't even bother me
that now I'll probably be
written up for having my TV
too loud. What bothers me is
that I lost the use of my own
private property for a month
because I irritated two people
who took the new rules beyond
the scope of reasonable
judgment.
So use me as an example,
Longwood, I don't care. But
keep these thoughts in mind
the next time you bitch about
apathy or people going home on
the weekends. I'll be leaving
this weekend so I can listen to
my stereo at home.
Thanks for reading,
Greg Kammer

In the last three years, life
.it Longwood has drastically
changed due to Sue and her socalled liberal views that she
forces on us.
Time and time again Sue

More To The Editor
institutional policies. Since our
arrival at Longwood drastic
changes have occurred to
restrict student growth and
development. How can college
students be treated as children
yet punished as adults?
Your so-called fair treatment
across the board has only affected social griefs due to your
autocratical policies. Our IFC
representatives have no power
at all. Why have this
Norganization if they have no
voice at all in the meetings?
Also, you now need a 2.0 GPA
and first semester freshmen
cannot pledge.
Social life at Longwood has
been reduced to an all-time
low. No wonder we have a low
school spirit and a college
known as a "suitcase college."
Students, tell me if I am wrong,
but isn't it more economically
feasible to buy 4 half kegs for a
fraternity party than to buy 8
quarter kegs? Are you in with
Par Bil's on some secret deal to
make us pay more for kegs?
What is the big deal about half
kegs? I guess it doesn't matter
what the students want.
You initiate plans to help us
grow and become mature individuals. Realistically all you
are doing is driving more
students off campus or to other
schools. We are not a bunch of
delinquent children you are
supposed to babysit. Let us live
how we want since it is our
money that keeps this school
and town alive. Are you using
Longwood as a stepping stone
to a better job by making your
record look good? Talk to us;
when is it going to end? When
fraternities are forced off campus or underground? And now
24 hr. quiet hours. What can
we expect next? Maybe no beer
at frat. parties? Wouldn't you
love that? You're taking the life
out of college.
Students Concerned
With Student Rights
To the Editor:
As a Rotunda Market employee, I would like to offer
some answers
to the
"Concerned and Dissatisfied
Students". The writer of the
letter stated that the dining
hall is ignoring the students.
On the contrary, most of the
meals are suggestions made by
the students.
The writer also complains
that a certain line was for
"seconds only" and he did not
know this. During dinner, it is
a well-known fact that this line
is for "seconds only." If the student did not know this, he
should have figured it out before he reached the beginning
of the line.
The writer asks why we
don't have family style any-
more. This question is simple
enough to answer. The reason
is because there are not enough
student employees to run family style. It might be of interest
to state at this time why there
aren't enough employees for
this task. It is because many
employees quit last semester
after having to clean up after
their fellow students. This is
not, I repeat, not part of our
job, although many of you
"Concerned and Dissatisfied
Students" seem to think it is.
In response to the size of the
cups, all I can say is why don't
you bring a larger cup like most
other students? After all, they
really don't seem to mind
bringing their own cups, so why
should you?
How can the writer of that
letter say that the dining
service has no organization? I
think that any employee will
agree that getting all of us to
work together as well as we do
(which is excellent) takes a lot
of organization
and
preparation. If we didn't have
to clean your mess, you might
see our organization and
energy a little more clearly.
In reference to the lower
dining hall, please look at your
Longwood College Policies,
Procedures, and Sanctions for
Alcohol and Drugs under article four (College Alcohol Procedures). Under section A it
states locations and times for
use of Alcoholic Beverages. If
you look closely, you will notice
it states Lower Dining Hall Friday and Saturday, 6 p.m.-l
a.m. For this reason, it should
be obvious that the lower
dining hall cannot be open for
dinner on these nights. Also,
dining hall employees have to
work one of every three
weekends as it is now because
of the decline in the number of
employees. If it were possible to
open the Rotunda Market on
weekends, all employees would
be working at least every other
weekend. As you can see, this
means employees would not be
able to go home on weekends
for the whole semester. I hope
you can see that this would
cause bigger problems than
1
what you think we have now.
Up to this point, I have been
calm and have tried to understand the reasons for the ignorance of this writer, but there
is something I do not
understand and probably never
will. How can this writer
complain about the meal plan?
All you have to do is visit any
one of the following schools to
understand the reason I have
faith in our school's dining
service. Food at Tech is bland,
usually cold, and there is no
selection. At University of
Virginia,
the
food is
overcooked, undercooked, or
looks very unappealing. As for
private or smaller schools, such
as Mary Baldwin or Mary
Washington, there are no such
things as fast food, a decent
salad bar, a dessert bar, or ice
cream machines.
The next time a "Concerned
and Dissatisfied Student" decides to write to the newspaper,
please consider the following:
Did you have a choice of what
to eat? Could you get as much
as you wanted? What time of
the day did you go to this meal?
After all, any cafe, restaurant,
or fast food place is bound to be
a little slower during rush
hours when they are shorthanded. Did you clean your
mess or did you just leave it for
a hard-working employee to
clean it up? Were you
impatient or did you wait your
turn with grace? In addition,
before you make a quick
decision about the dining hall,
take a good look at the employees, the selection, the true
quality of the food, and the
surroundings.
A hard-working employee
(name withheld upon
request)
Dear Editor,
I am responding to the article in a previous Rotunda
about the Dining Hall
situation. The reason that the
dishes were not available was
the fact that they were all out
on the tables. You see, the
students of Longwood have this
misconceived idea that the
student employees are paid to
pick up their (students) dishes.
This is HOGWASH!! The
student employees are not paid
by the student's tuitions. The
workers are paid to give
friendly service by serving,
cooking and restocking but not
for cleaning tables. The student
employees do not enjoy putting
their hands into the mess some
of the students leave on the
table. We do not have any idea
what diseases these people
have. Maybe if the student
workers were taken away and
were not there to refill the
condiment bars the students
would realize what they would
be missing. There are not
enough ARA employees to help.
These students are here to earn
their way through college in a
fun way, not a disgusting way!
Tired of cleaning up
after pigs!!!
There will be no ROTUNDA on March 15. The
next issue will be on March
22.

Rating The Return On Your
Investment: Longwood
By BILL MOORE
Having worked at a variety
of educational institutions over
the past 14 years, I think I can
safely say that students at all
kinds of colleges and universities, large and small, like to
complain
about
their
institution. It's human nature,
and Longwood students are no
exception to the rule; besides
parking and dining hall food,
the most frequent complaints
seem to be about "the
administration"
or
"administrators" (as if they
were all identical clones with
the same agenda: make life
miserable for Longwood students) and the quality/prestige
of Longwood as a college. The
issue of the "administration" is
an important one, but for now
I'd like to address a significant
topic that relates to the latter
complaint: the new student assessment program.
Across the country, colleges
and universities increasingly
are being asked (by politicians,
governing boards, parents, )
to substantiate '"their' claims
about the education allegedly
being provided. You may have
noticed that college is not getting any cheaper; now serious
and hard questions are being
raised about the return on that
investment - both from the
perspective of the individual
student/consumer (and his/her
parents) as well as from a
larger societal point of view (in
the case of a public institution,
the taxpayers, for instance).
Virginia, like a number of other
states, is now demanding that
its public colleges and
■ ■ ■
universities develop programs
to assess their learning
outcomes. At this point, unlike
some other states, Virginia is
not dictating a single specific
test in order to make direct
comparisons among the various
colleges; each institution has
the opportunity to define its
own student goals and
outcomes and figure out how to
measure them. The bottom
line, for the state, is that every
institution assesses the
learning of its students.
Which brings me back to
what all of this business has to
do with you, and how it relates
to student complaints about the
"quality" of Longwood College.
If you are one of those people
who enjoy complaining simply
for the sake of complaining,
someone who never lets the
facts get in the way of his/her
opinions, then you can move on
and ignore the rest of my
comments. For the rest of you,
though, let me say that the
student learning assessment
program, beginning this year,
;s a golden opportunity for you
as Longwood students (and-for
many of you, future Longwood
alumni) to actually find out
what kind of learning takes
place at Longwood - to see
what difference the college experience at Longwood makes in
the lives of its students.
If some of the results are not
positive, or not as positive as
you (or your parents, or the
taxpayers of the state) would
like or expect, the results will
help the College be able to do
something about it - make the
necessary improvements. On
the other hand, if the results
"ORIGINAL"

PHONE 223-4253
Rt. 15 South Across From H.S.C.
Next To Wright's Stop-In
are positive, as I expect they
will be, then you and the
College will have concrete
evidence that you have gained
something
from
your
experience here - and that is
evidence you can take to the
bank (figuratively and
literally)!!! Either way,
however, instead of having
complaints about Longwood's
quality or prestige, you'll have
to accept having things to be
proud of as well - either the
demonstrated positive results
or the fact that the College will
take seriously its need to make
necessary improvements. I
know that may be tough for
some of you to handle, but
there it is.
So, what's the catch? (You
knew there'd be a catch, didn't
you??) Well, in order for this
assessment program to work,
you are the key; you have to
be willing to participate, to
complete the surveys and
"tests" when asked to do so, to
take them seriously and
answer them as honestly and
thoroughly as possible. It's
• another investment of your
time, and I know that your
time is valuable to you - mine
certainly is to me, and I don't
like to spend it foolishly. But if
you are at all concerned about
what your college degree will
really mean whenever you
graduate - if you are concerned
about what kind of return you
are receiving for the
investment of your time and
your money (or your parents'
money) - if you are truly concerned about the quality of the
Longwood education, rather
than simply being content to
complain about it - then the
handful of hours asked of you
in the assessment program will
be well worth your time.
Look for more details about
the Longwood student assessment program in the near future, and take advantage of the
opportunity to do something
other than complain, and let's
see what happens.

By CHERYL JEFFREY
According to Sue Saunders,
the Dean of Students, problems
with posting advertisements on
campus have worsened in the
past year. The two main problems that have arisen are where
they are posted and for how
long they are posted. Ms. Saunders said that students should
not post flyers, bulletins, and
posters at any locations except
bulletin boards. Posting them
on the walls of buildings
around campus has led to a
problem of paint peeling from
the walls. The ads should be
removed within twenty-four
hours of the event. It is the responsibility of the group that
sponsored the event to remove
the signs. If this rule is not followed, warning letters will be
sent to the group that posted the
ads. After a number of warning
letters have been sent, that
group will be denied approval
for posting in the future.
To better understand the
rules of posting advertisements,
Ms. Saunders referred me to
the student handbook. First, the
1
ads must be approved for posting by the Dean of Students. If
they are to be posted in residence halls, they must also be
approved by the REC. If posted
in Lankford, they must also be
approved by the director of the
Student Union.
Students are to post only one
of each ad on a bulletin board to
avoid cluttering. They must be
neat, in good taste, contain all
the information needed, and include the name of the event's
sponsor. An ad may not in any
way illustrate or suggest the
sale of alcohol. Finally, if the
organizations do not comply to
these rules, they may lose their
right to hold events in the fu'ture.
It is important for the beauty
of the campus, that advertisements are posted in only the
designated areas and are not
left posted after the event is
held. Ms. Saunders hopes that
students will review these rules
and follow them for their benefit and for the benefit-of the
campus as a whole.

Accomplished Musician Among LC's Ranks
By KAREN DALTON
There is an unknown talent
on Longwood College's campus.
Erin Kelly, an 18 year old
Freshman from Richmond, Va.
and a graduate of Monacan
High School, has many musical
talents that are virtually unknown by other students on the
campus. She is an accomplished violinist of five years, a
pianist of nine years, a trombonist of two years, and has recently tackled the cello, which
will probably soon be added to
her credits as a musician.
Kelly began to play the piano
almost a decade ago. She never
competed but only played
annually for recitals, played for
church, orchestra concerts and
a Forensic production. Now because of the hustle and bustle of
college, she only practices thirty
minutes on weekends.
Kelly began playing the violin only as an interest, which
developed into a talent that has
earned her awards and distinct
recognition as a violinist. She
started playing in an orchestra
the summer before the 8th
grade and received the Musicianship Award for her knowlLongwood freshman, Erin Kelly, is an accomplished vioedge and talent of the violin.

awarded a seat in the Jr. All
County Orchestra and received
the Jr. All Regional Award.
By her Freshman year in
high school, Kelly was practicing violin two to three hours a
day. All of the long and strenuous practices brought Kelly a
flurry of accomplishments. She
was selected to play in the Jr.
All County and Jr. All Regional
orchestra. That same year she
received the Most Improved
Award and had the dubious
distinction of being chosen section leader for the high school
orchestra. She continued to
work hard in the tenth grade as
she was chosen section leader
for orchestra and all county.
Kelly's high school years
rolled on as she received the 4th
chair 2nd violin in the Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra, which was a step below
the Richmond Symphony.
Kelly attended the James
Madison University Spring
String and was selected as the
4th best violinist out of 75 in
Maryland and Virginia. Also in
her junior year, she lettered in
violin and was chosen as section leader for 2nd violins in the
All County Orchestra. Aside
from her violin talent, Kelly
was chosen as"the only girl for

"RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK!"
By GWEN W. NELMS
Sunday, February 21, at
6:00 p.m., 362 girls involved in
sororities attended a special
meeting in Lankford's Red,
White, and Green rooms.
Guest speaker, Lissa Bradford, National Panhellentic
Conference Advisor for the
state of Virginia visited from
Tennessee to speak on Panhellenic issues.
Mrs. Bradford's topics included the history of the National Panhellenic Council and
how it presently stands and its
history at Longwood College.
She based her lecture on two
basic themes. The first, striving
for Panhellenic unity and the
second, sorority rush. Rush has
become an important topic because the sororities have decided to participate in a Deffered rush. According to Charlie Warner, head of Greek
affairs, 'Deffered rush is a
formal rush during spring" and
beginning in the spring of '89,
this will become a standard for
sororities at Longwood.
orchestra at Longwood. Kelly
says, "I worked so hard in high
school and when I got here
there was nothing." She remarks that "reaching one of the
higher levels in life and finding
there is nothing more is a complete let down." Because of hei
intense schedule Kelly onlj
practices about thirty minutes e
night.
Luckily, Kelly has recently
started playing with the Hardj
Music Foundation, which is I
group who plays chamber mu
sic only for themselves. Kell)
says, "I like to play for myseli
and not a lot of people." While
playing with the group, Kell)
has taken up practicing th«
cello.
Erin Kelly's love for music
has helped her because sometimes when angry, music is a
way of expressing her emotions. She plays music as a way
to get stress out. Kelly state!
that she feels as if she is talking
to a friend when playing with
out having to explain every*
thing. Although Kelly does not
practice regularly and does not
play in an orchestra at school,
musfc is still a part of her lift
and future. Kelly says that "Mj
ultimate goal is to play for thl
Richmond Symphony."

Player Of Week
Girls Take Second In Lynchburg Tourney
By KAREN BEATTIE
For some, Sunday is a day of
rest. But for a group of women
from Longwood, there was no
rest as they took second place in
the second annual soccer tournament at Lynchburg College
on Friday, Feb. 21.
"I was very impressed," said
coach Mitch Rubin. "The girls
all came together and played
well as a team."
Longwood does not officially have a girls* soccer team
and therefore received no
funding for this tournament.
They had to provide their own
uniforms and transportation in
order to participate.
The team began the tournament with three successive
wins in the preliminary round.
They defeated Randolph-Macon, Roanoke College and Randolph-Macon Women's College.
All these games were shut-outs
because of a strong defense anchored by sophomore K i m
Howells and excellent goaltending by senior Arita Thurman.
The games were also lowscoring offensively. Senior
Chris Schup scored the game
winner in the first match and
sophomore Susie Baca netted
two in each of the other games.
"It was tough," said Baca.
"We got here not knowing what
to expect, but we came through
it well."
In the semi-final round the
team faced Randolph-Macon
for a second time. After a hardfought, frustrating game, in
which both teams missed a few
opportunities, the score was 0-0.
From this, the teams went to
a shootout. Longwood's girls
won on goals by Baca and
sophomore Laurie McCardle,
but lost goalie Sarita Thurman
for the rest of the tournament
because of an injury.
Sweeper Howells replaced
Thurman, creating a void on
the defense. McCardle got the
call to come back from offense
to fill it.
Advancing to the final
round, the team would have to
play their toughest game yet.
"The girls were intimidated
by Radford at first, but when
the game got underway they
realized that they could play on
Radford's level," said coach
Rubin. Radford is ranked nineteenth in NCAA Division-I
women's soccer.
The game was a physical
and emotional one. Radford's
brutal style of play caused several tempers to flare. "It was
hard because the referee wasn't
calling much, and after you get
shoved so many times, it kind
of gets you frustrated; but it
also makes you want to play
harder," said sophomore Chris
Anderson.
After a lax first few minutes
Longwood began thwarting
several offensive attacks by
Radford and launching a few
of their own.
At the end of the game the
score was deadlocked 0-0. The
team would have to go to its
second shootout of the night.
After four successive misses
by both teams, Radford's last
shooter scored. When Longwood's final shooter missed,
Radford was victorious.
"I am very proud," said
coach Rubin after the game.
"The girls could have given up
at any time but they never did."
Burton Named Second Team
All-Mason-Dixon Conference
KELVIN DAVIS
Longwood senior center

Stukes, the second Lancer
grappler to compete in nationals, will be one of only 14 qualifiers in the 134 pound class. He
won his weight class at the
Southern Regional Tournament
February 20 to earn the berth in
nationals.
Lancer coach Steve Nelson
will accompany Stukes to Omaha. The Division II championships will take place Thursday through Saturday at the
University of Nebraska, Omaha.
With a Longwood best-ever
34-3-1 record this season.
Stukes has an incredible 70-6-2
mark in three years of competing for the Lancers. Third on
Longwood's all-time list in
wins, the Deep Creek High
School graduate has the best
winning percentage (.897) in
LC history. He has also won a
record six tournament titles this
season, including the state
crown just over a week ago.
The Lancer wrestler also
competed in the NCAA Division
II National Championship as a
freshman at Virginia State
three years ago. Interestingly
enough, John's twin brother
Joe, a senior at Pembroke, will
also be going to nationals as the
Southern Regional champ at
126 pounds.

Luther Top Coach in MDAC;
Rutley First Team All-Conference
Longwood basketball coach
Cal Luther has been tabbed
Mason-Dixon Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and
Lancer junior Darryl Rutley
has been named to All-MDAC
first team in voting by league
coaches which was announced
Sunday.
The winningest coach in
Longwood history, Luther led
the Lancers to a share of the
conference title after LC had
been picked in preseason to
finish at the bottom of the fiveteam Division II league. Long-
wood, 18-9 overall and 6-2 in
the conference along with
Mount St. Mary's compiled its
best record since 1980-81.
Luther, who ranks seventh
among Division II coaches in
victories, has compiled a 101-83
record at Longwood in seven
seasons. His overall coaching
record is 387-277. He previously coached at Depauw and
Murray State. He was named
"Coach of the Year" once in the
Indiana Collegiate Conference
and three times in the Ohio
Valley Conference.
Rutley, a 6-4 forward, has
been Longwood's top scorer for
the second half of the season.
Currently averaging 17.8
points and 4.8 rebounds, he has
been the team's top point
producer in 12 games. He ranks
among MDAC leaders in
scoring and free throw
percentage (.754) and has made
more 3-point goals (26) than
any Lancer eager.
His scoring was a key factor
in an 8-game win streak which
helped the Lancers gain a
share of the league crown. Last
season he was a second team
All-Conference pick and earned
a spot on the MDAC All-Tournament team.

itching Hurt Lancers
A young Lancer pitching
staff ran into difficulties on the
road last week as Longwood
opened its 1988 baseball season
with a disappointing 1-4 record.
With the notable exceptions
of juniors Steve Gedro and E. J.
Bryant, Longwood had little
success on the mound on a fourday trip to North and South
Carolina. The Lancers fell at
Pembroke 6-4 Thursday,
dropped a pair to St. Andrews
10-3 and 7-4 Friday, bounced
back to beat Francis Marion
11-6 Saturday and fell to the
Patriots 9-4 Sunday.
This week Longwood plays
at Hampden-Sydney Wednesday at 3:00 and then heads to
South Carolina again for twinbills at Morris Friday and Allen
Sunday. The Lancers' first
home games will be March 9-10
when Lock Haven visits for
three games in two days.

Peale to address
philosophical
questions
By DEIRDRE McKENDRY
Dr. John Peale, Professor of
Philosophy, will give a lecture
titled "The Idea of Divine Action in the World*' March 3 at
7:30 p.m. in Wygal Auditorium.
Dr. Peale 'vill address such
questions as: Does God cause
events to occur in human life or
in the natural world? How
could we determine whether
God does act in our lives? Does
a person's belief in God deter-
mine the actions of that
person?
Such questions will be based
on Dr. Peale's viewpoint of historicism. Historicism is the
view that the nature of God
and God's role is entirely
determined by God's place in
the historical process of
development. For example, it
makes sense that God acts in
the lives of h jman beings. Dr.
Peale agrees with that. He does
not agree that God reveals
himself through nature. He
does not believe in nature
miracles. The lecture will draw
on the work of R. G.
Collingwood,
a British
philosopher and theologian.
CHI URGES
ENTHUSIASM
Longwood, through the years, has seen several secret organizations come and go. The first of these was The Mystic Three in
1897. They were followed by the I.M.M.P.S. in 1909, the Black
Cats, W.A.N.K., FANGS, and Mu Omega in 1912. However, by
1930, only one secret organization existed at Longwood, CHI - and
the ideals of CHI are as strong today as they were 88 years ago!
CHI, established on October 15, 1900, is a secret organization
whose essential purpose is to promote and maintain a spirit of cooperation among students in every phase of college life. It is CHI's
aim to foster respect for Longwood and loyalty to its academic
programs and extracurricular activities. In fulfilling this aim, CHI
hopes to be an organization that commits itself to recognizing the
efforts of students, faculty, administration, staff and organizations
of Longwood College.
Evidence of CHI's support can be seen through banners
appearing at special events, signs on the sidewalks across campus,
and through late night "walks". However, the real evidence of CHI
can be seen in the hearts and minds of those who seek its real purpose of constructive support and cooperation. One must remember that CHI is not a group of individuals who, for one year, compose its working staff. CHI is an IDEA - never reached, but always
reached for. So erase from your minds the personification of the
idea, and look instead to your own sole! YOU are the spark. YOU
are the flame. YOU are the CHI that Longwood respects!
CHI of 1988 encourages ALL students to take full advantage of
their academic opportunities as well as their extracurricular opportunities. Support the four aspects of student life - SOCIAL,
RECREATIONAL, INTELLECTUAL, and SPIRITUAL - by participating and/or supporting intramural activities, athletics, campus organizations, Student Government, Student Union, religious
organizations, academic and departmental organizations
(including lectures, programs, and seminars), greek organizations,
and by unholding both the Honor and Judicial codes. College is a
time for each individual student to learn more about himself/herself and to experience different aspects of life while learning to live and work with people of all different types. DO NOT
LET APATHY RUIN YOUR OPPORTUNITIES! And remember .. . CHI IS WATCHING!
THE SPIRIT LIVES ...
