NO. 2
President Of College Resigns
Henry I. Willet Jr. has
announced that he will resign the
position of President of
Longwood College, effective
August 1981. President Willett's
resignation was presented to the
Board of Visitors at their annual
meeting in August.
The resignation came after a
year of constant disagreement
with the Administration and the
College's Board of Visitors.
President Willett received two
votes of confidence during the
year, both 5-4, from the Board.
President Willett has been here
for the past 13 years. He came to
Ixmgwood from the Tidewater
area as an Administrator in the
Public School system. According

Convocation, or the official
opening of the academic school
year, was held September 4 at 1
p.m. in Jarman Auditorium with
President Henry I. Willett, Jr.,
presiding. Some of the faculty
and senior class were present in
their full academic attire.
The Reverend John H. Loving,
Rector of Johns Memorial
Episcopal Church, gave the
invocation, after which Dean
Carolyn Wells recognized the
Longwood Scholars present.
They are : Cynthia G. Poore,
Mary B. Johnson, Sharon P.
Wooten, Melinda C. Allman,
Charna E. Moore, Carol A.
Parrish, Patricia A. Paschall,
Donald N. Roland, Jr., Susan A.
Watford, Gilbert Bates, Leigh A.
Goddin, Connie Reeves, and
Janet Smith.
Ms. Jan Jennings, Senior Class
President, introduced the
speaker for the service, Dr.
George R. Healy, vice president
for academic affairs and provost
at the College of William and
Mary.
A native of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, Dr. Healy holds the
B.A. degree from Oberlin
College, the M.A. and Ph.D. in
history from the University of
Minnesota.
His career in higher education
has included teaching history at
the University of Minnesota,
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and Bates College
(Maine) where he also served as
chairman of the department of
cultural heritage, dean of the
faculty, and provost.
Dr. Healy spoke to the seniors
and others present trying to
encourage them to do their best.
He presented the future in
somewhat uncertain terms.
In another ceremony last week,
President Henry I. Willett, Jr.
spoke to the seniors about
Longwood after graduation. He
told them that they would
probably not see much visible
change in the college ten years
from now.
Willett spoke to them at Senior
Capping, September 3 at 7 p.m. in
Jarman Capping ceremony is
the first senior ceremony of the
year.
After his talk, Dr. Willett

where the little brothers and

tassels on the seniors' heads.

candidates suggested by some
members of the faculty and their
allies. This is a major victory for
the institution. Mrs. Pretlow's
record as a Board member is
exemplary. While I have met Mr.

my initial reaction to them as
Board members is extremely
positive. I regret that I will have
the privilege of working with
them only one year.

speak to a second major issue.
There are several on the Board
who have misconstrued the call
for
increased
Board
responsibility
to
include
involvement in the day-to-day
operation of the institution. The
most important lesson a Board
member can learn is the
distinction between policymaking
and
administration. If the College is to
move forward in the difficult
days of the 1980's, then every
Board member must clearly
understand this distinction. It is a
distinction that was understood
on this Board for better than 10
years.
I shall always have a warm
spot for this institution and wish
her continued prosperity and
success in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Henry I Willett, Jr.

College
is more
than
scholarship—it is a good time; it
is getting to know others; it is
finding out who you are; it is
trying to make a meaningful
contribution in a world that wants
you to wait. Circle K. provides a
unique opportunity for reaching
each of these goals.
There are many organizations
on campus, but one in particular
that needs you is Circle K.
Circle K is a service
organization through which you
can help other people. Circle K is
not for all people; it is for
students who want to make an
impact on life. It is concerned
with both the youth and elderly in
this community.
The club was chartered last
year. This year it plans to have
many service projects, and also
believes that social life is
important. Picnics, parties,
conventions and rallies are just a
few of the things it does to make
Circle K a total organization.
The first meeting will be
tonight at 7 p.m. in the Goldroom.
If you would like any additional
information on Circle K, please
call 392-9006.
Circle K is a means of forming
friendship, working in a common
cause with other students and
simply having fun. Hope to see
you tonight. The only way to
multiply happiness is to divide it.

Professors
Form OTF
By BILL BRENT
Last spring the Organization of
the Teaching Faculty (OTF)
was formed at Longwood College. The OTF was proposed last
March,
after
the
management study at the college.
Dr. Susan May is President of the
OTF this year.
Before the OTF was formed, all
faculty meetings were directed
by Dean Wells; she also
appointed
all
committee
members except two elected
committees.
Under
the
regulations of the OTF, Dr. May
directs faculty meetings. Several
committees are appointed by the
faculty president and the
executive committee. The
President of the OTF appoints the
following committees: Finance
and Budget, Student Life, Faculty Research, Colloquium,
Francis B. Simkins Lecture
Series, Library, Committee on
Naming Facilities. The Faculty
Advisory committee to the Board
of Visitors and President of the
College,
the
Curriculum
Committee and the Honors
Committee are elected by the
faculty.
The OTF will enhance the
faculty's ability to take the
initiative to make proposals to
benefit the students. Each
committee concentrates on
improving an aspect of the
student's life.
"It's a good idea, but people
must be patient," says Mrs.
Harriss. Dr. Robert Wu
commented, "It's a good idea, it
needs review." the OTF will need
time to determine its strong
points and shortcomings. "If
there is any power with the
organization it can do great
things for the college," says Dr.
Merkle.
The OTF is a new organization
with fresh ideas and insight. For
it to be effective, time, patience
and cooperation must be united.
We're glad to announce the
arrival of Valerie Lloyd from
Richmond.

Happy Hours Aren't
Here Again
By SARAH STUMP
It is four o'clock on a Friday
afternoon and the Longwood
campus is virtually deserted.
Where can everyone possibly be?
You cruise on over to Lankford,
to check your mailbox and then
maybe grab a Coke at the Snack
Bar. Bummer...your mailbox is
empty. However, upon your
descent towards the usually quiet
Snack Bar, you hear blaring
music and the roar of voices. As
you enter, the place is mobbed; it
appears to be a regular Animal
House. It's Happy Hour at
longwood! Bag the Coke, grab a
beer!
This semester, however, there
is no Happy Hour. Randy Jones,
manager of the Snack Bar, got
word from Gordon Inge that the
crowd at Happy Hour was getting
' 'too rowdie." If the man from the
ABC Board were to drop by, the
Snack Bar could possibly lose its
ABC License. Jones feels that the
students would much rather buy
their beer on campus than have
to go into town. losing its beer
license would no longer allow the
sale of beer at the Snack Bar. So
why take the chance?
So now when you walk the
Ixmgwood campus on a Friday
afternoon
and
it
looks
deserted...it is!

Posters
By NEIL SAWYER
During the majority of the
month of September, Ixmgwood
College, in cooperation with the
Virginia museum, is presenting
two exhibits dealing with posters
past and present.
September 3-24, a two-part
exhibit is on display in the
Gallery of the Lancaster Library
centering on posters advertising
events, organizations and
*«"- JS all over the world. The
group of posters are
.emporary and feature
phic works from such famed
rintmakers as Jasper Johns,
Robert Motherwell, and Joseph
Albers. The second group,
entitled
"Images
as
Advertisements" consists of 19
posters from the 19th century by
both American and European
artists. This exhibit is open
during regular public Library
hours.
September 8-28, an exhibit
entitled "Posters of Two Wars" is
on display in the Bedford Art
Dept. Gallery. These works
which are on loan to the Virginia
Museum's traveling exhibits
from the George C. Marshal
research Library in Lexington
were designed as allied
propaganda during the first and
second world wars.
These posters were used to
rally citizens on the home front
for the allied war efforts and
enlist support through the buying
of war bonds, saving gas, or
enlisting in the service. They had
the hard sell quality of being
highly emotional and deeply
patriotic while being very bold
visually.
The works on display represent
some of the best in early to mid-

Longwood Players
Bla§ch
Recital Given
By TOM SULLIVAN
On August 31, at 4:00 p.m., the
Longwood campus was once
again graced with the piano
performance of Dr. Robert
Blasch. Having performed early
semester recitals each year, he
has become one of those eagerly
anticipated by students. Dr.
Blasch began the recital with a
very professional composure
about him as he stepped to the
piano amid the expected
applause. His months at practice
and preparation paid off as he
beautifully performed works by
Liszt, Hindersmith, and others.
Dr. Blasch's professionalism
flew from his hands to the
keyboard in slow beautiful music
to speeding cascades of sounds.
Dr.
Blasch remained a
perfectionist throughout the
concert without even the hint of a
•prima donna" appearance.
Overall, it was a very
professional recital and a nice
way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Open Season
By NINA BOWYER

Chopped Promises
CHI Letter
a
<
To the Student BodyWelcome back to another year
at longwood. CHI has been busy
making plans for this year, and
would like your help.
Several times during the year,
CHI commends and supports
various events with banners at
the events, or signs in the dining
hall. Most of the time, CHI
welcomes you to take the banners
after the event. There are special
banners, however, that are not to
be taken. These banners include
the big, cloth banner that is
usually displayed at Oktoberfest.
CHI asks that you not take these,
so that they can be enjoyed bv the
whole college.
CHI has also asked The
Rotunda for a small box in issues
of the newspaper for special
messages. Please watch closely
for these comments from CHI.
Most of all, become involved in
longwood this year. There are
many areas in which you can
make a BIG difference. There
are class activities, clubs, and
various organizations that are
just waiting for your help.
Thank you for your cooperation
and good luck this semester.
Blue and White Love,
CHI 1981
Dear Editor,
On behalf of those students that
care, I would like to thank those
involved (Board of Visitors, Etc.)
for cutting down that wasteful
tree next to the gym. So what if a
few students were PROMISED it
would stay there unless it died. So
what if the FACULTY VOTED
TO KEEP IT. Just because a
single tree is almost perfectly
shaped and probably the most
beautiful thing on campus, that
isn't sufficient reason to keep it.
Needless to say, the mentioned
sum of $10,000 to keep the tree is a
lot. However, why was that the
only figure mentioned? It seems
a little unorthodox to cut down
one tree only to plant another in
its place. And people wonder why
the school has problems? Maybe
we should also buy Goodwin Lake
and
transform
it
into a student shopping center.
It's nothing but wasteful beauty
now. I especially thought that it
was ingenious how the tree was
cut down right after last year's
graduation. That way, those peon
students wouldn't have a word to
say about it. Besides, what do
they know, right?
Yours truly,
Tired of lies

Longwood has many traditions that have been passed down for as long as
anyone can remember. This newspaper as almost always supported these
traditions. However, there comes a time when everything has to be questioned!
Last week Longwood held what is traditionally called convocation or the
official academic opening of the school year. There were several problems this
year, however the main one was that no one showed up!
It is traditionally a senior ceremony. There were very few seniors there.
This year that could not be blamed on Mr. Harper, because caps and gowns had
arrived.
The ceremony is required for freshman to attend. But, just like the seniors,
the freshman did not show. It is just a little coincidental that the orientation
leaders, a lot of which are seniors, are the ones who were to encourage the
freshmen to attend.
And then, there is the problem of the faculty. The orientation leaders who did
stress convocation to the freshmen told them of the faculty dressed in their
academic attire. Upperclassmen always tell how beautiful certain faculty
members robes are.
But, on Thursday, for those who were there, they only saw a small number of
faculty members dressed in cap and gown. Others were observed sitting in the
back of the auditorium. And then, there were others who were not observed at
all.
It is really a shame that the college can not officially open it's doors with full
participation. The faculty were heard complaining of the student's attendance.
And, of course, the students were heard complaining of the faculty's attendance.
Where does it all end? No one is willing to set the example for the other.
Rumors have it that faculty members may have been protesting. By not
attending Convocation, however, it would seem that they are protesting against
students. After all, is not that why the college is officially open.
It is the hope of this newspaper that next year's convocation will turn out
better: For those who do attend or do not.
Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate the
Freshman class for their
marvelous
support
and
attendance during orientation. It
was very refreshing to see the
spirit that showed that first
couple of days of school. It is even
more refreshing to see that same
great spirit shining each day.
Also, I would like to thank
Brenda Fettrow for the excellent
job she did in planning and
leading the orientation program.
You were terrific, Brenda!
I want to wish the Seniors a
happy and prosperous year—you
deserve to have fun and enjoy
your last year at Longwood!
And to the rest of the student
body, have a great first
semester!
Blue and White Love,
Pam Updike
Jr. Class President
Thanks
To everyone involved in
Orientation:
I'd like to give a special thanks
to all the people that helped me in
Orientation. For all the
Orientation leaders, colleagues,
Student Assistants, the reds, and
the greens; I can't thank you
enough. Orientation could not be
done without all your help. A
special thanks to all the speakers,
the administration, Sally I^owe,
Tammy Bird, Linda Wheeler,
Beth Rowe, Iinda Paschall, and
Miss Swann; for without these
people, who offered constant
support to me and offered to help
anytime I needed it, the program
could not have been done. My
sincerest "thanks" to everyone
and best wishes for an excellent
and prosperous year.
Sincerely,

Digging Up The Past
By CONNIE FALLON
Archaeology is defined as the
study of extinct ways of life. This
interest in man is to uncover
artifacts of the past that will
testify to the cultures of
yesterday.
During the past hot summer
months of June, July, and
August, a thirteen member team,
with this common interest,
uncovered the remains of a
nomadic tribe of Indians.
Directed by Dr. James W.
Jordan, students uncovered
artifacts (the objects man
makes) that are approximately
2,400 years old. Their discoveries
of arrowheads, tools, and shards
of pottery, combined with Dr.
Jordan's theory for digging this
particular site have created a
vivid image of life on Anna's
Ridge.
The site, Anna's Ridge, is
located above the Willis River in
Cumberland State Forest. Dr.
Jordan described his reasons for
choosing this site as follows:
1) It is on a river. Rivers were
used by the Indians as highways.

2) This higher ground close to
the river afforded a good camp
site.
3) At this point of ground the
river bends This slows the water
and allows greater small animal
habitation in the reedy banks.
To the Indian this was a choice
spot to replenish food stocks, and
as shown by artifacts, repair
weapons and broken tools. This
theory seems very strong and is
certainly well evidenced.
The collection of various
artifacts resulted in what Dr.
Jordan described as a "tool kit."
They found arrowheads and
spear points used to kill the
animals. Larger stones with
finely ground edges functioned as
knives to cut flesh, and small
stone saw teeth that could be
imbedded into wood, served to
cut bone. Other tools in the
collection were used to repair
arrows and some even to cut and
sew leather. Shards of pottery
are evidence to cooking and a
posthole about 40 inches deep is
perhaps evidence to a dwelling.
All the artifacts found at the dig
this summer, Dr. Jordan plans to
allow students to study in his
spring
semester
class,
Anthropology 102. Any interested
student may take this class and
no prerequisite is required.
Hopefully mis class will create an
extended interest involving more
students.
The field school will also
continue excavation next
summer session, offering two
five-week sessions to further the
study. Dr. Jordan invites
students to come and see him to
sign up for the field school. This is
also open to any student with a
genuine interest.
This year's members enjoyed
the dig but all were not
Anthropology Majors. The
thirteen students were: Nancy
Annis, Carol Boyers, Donna
Dowdy, Robert Flippen, Howard

Mary Ellen Munoz, Kevin
Ryman, Ruth Trumbo, Pamela

David Wilson. All members
worked hard and Dr. Jordan was
pleased to see that interest
increased as the work went on.
Hopefully Dr. Jordan and next
summer's field school will do as
well in the continuing exploration
of Anna's Ridge.

Senior Spotlight
By BRENDA COLEMAN
If you find yourself wandering
near Wygal or strolling into a
green-and-white or blue-andwhite activity, you'll probably
see and, better yet, hear the
sights and sounds of Tom
Sullivan. Tom, a senior music
major from Dinwiddie County,
has been very involved in both
the music department and
various class activities over the
four years he has attended
Longwood.
Although Tom will receive his
degree in music, he plans to seek
an internship in computer
programing with the government
after graduation, preferably at
Ft. Lee near Petersburg. He has
always been fascinated with
computers and hopes to later
return to school and become a
full-fledged
computer
programmer.
Other than "fiddling with
computers," Tom's favorite
hobbies include performing,
composing, and listening to
music and playing tennis. Tom
has become quite proficient at his
tennis game; however, Tom
emphatically states that he "has
already lost to the backboard six
times" so he is no threat to Bjorn
Borg.
Tom has been very active
during his years here at
Longwood. Presently he is the
president of the Jazz Band, as
well as one of the original
founders, president of the
Longwood Concert Band, and the
chaplain of both Phi Mu Alpha, a
music honorary, and Alpha
Sigma Phi, a social fraternity. He
is a past member of the
Camerata Singers and has been
the green-and-white music
chairman for Oktoberfest for the
past two years. In addition, he
has, and still does, take part in
many of the music department's
performances and organizations.
Concerning his feelings about
Longwood, Tom says that
"Longwood has prepared me for
life. I can face the bad as well as
the good and accept realities. I've
had to grow here at LC—I love
the students and friends I've
made." Tom further states that

Campus School's Existence Questioned
During the past 15-20 years
over 80 per cent of campus "lab"
schools have been closed due to
lack of funds. If the John P.
Wynne Campus School cannot
find a source of revenue outside
of state funds by 1982, it may face
the same fate.
Longwood's campus school
opened in 1970 to serve as an
educational facility for the public
(grades K through 7) and as an
observational experience for
students at Longwood studying to
become teachers. However, its
expensive existence has come
under attack by Education
Secretary, J. Wade Gilley. While
the Campus School is presently a
state funded public facility, up to
40 per cent of the students are
children of staff or faculty at
Longwood College and they get
top priority for enrollment.
Although Dr. Buck, Director of
the Campus School, claims it is a
public institution, it has a
distinctive private school
The Campus School is being studied this year by the college and atmosphere for this area. With its
State.

circular design, high ceilings,
large open library, uniquely
shaped multi-purpose room and
brightly painted walls, the
Campus School reminds one of
the open classroom experiment
in the early 70's. Another factor
adding to the "exclusive"
atmosphere is the low percentage
of blacks minorities (14 per cent)
when compared to Prince
Edward
County's
large
percentage black population.
Dr. Gilley's plan is to
eventually phase out state
funding for the school. The plan
allows for state aid this year
(1980-81) a reduction in aid by 50
per cent in 1981 and a complete
cut off in funds by 1982. However,
the state has already allowed for
two years of funding for the
campus school. It remains to be
seen whether Dr. Gilley's plan
will be accepted or rejected by
the State I>egislature.
When asked what would be the
Campus School's response when
funds were cut, Dr. Buck
described a plan utilizing some
state funds to supplement a
tuition and charging fee which
patrons of the school would pay.
He said that if this "package"
were accepted, the outlook for the
future of the school would be
optimistir
There have been two meetings
of parents of campus school
children thus far The first, called
by Dr. Willett, outlined the
financial dilemma of the Campus
School and set up a committee to
look into the feasibility of making
the Campus School selfsupporting. The second meeting
was called in July by this
committee. A questionnaire was
distributed to parents of Campus
School students. The results have
not been tabulated, but some of
the more interesting questions
were:
If a tuition charge is necessary
to continue the operation of the
Campus School, would you be
willing to pay such a charge?
If yes, what is the maximum
tuition range that you feel you
would be willing to pay per

Baseball Team
Ready To Start
ByJOHNTODD
IiOngwood College's baseball
team, which had a 19-11 spring
season record, is ready to start
the fall season. The fall season
contains many practices with a
few scrimmages thrown in.
IxMigwood will start this season
by the changing of men's sports
team totally to Division II.
Longwood played division one
and two teams last season, so this
change should not have great

How good is this year's team
going to be? Doug Toombs, who
led the Nation's Division III
schools in hitting last year says,
This year's team should be
better than last year's, although
the schedule is tougher."
longwood's schedule this year
consists of playing forty or more
games in the spring. Toombs
feels Longwood will win more
than thirty of those games.
Toombs also noted that this year
there are several outstanding
freshmen and transfers.

made up of three freshmen,
Cheryl Dufort, Emily Fletcher,
and Susan Morgan; three
sophomores, Robyn Andrews,
Sharon Gilmore, and Janet
Kelly; and one senior, KaySmith.
This year the team will
compete entirely in tournaments
so that they may qualify for
nationals. Coach Barbara Smith
feels that they have an excellent
chance of winning regionals and
qualifying for Nationals in
Division II. "Our goal is to go all
the
way,"
she
stated
emphatically.
All students are invited to
support the team September 12 at

Vastly Improved Lancers
Open Play
Excitement and anticipation
surround pre-season soccer drills
at Longwood College. The
Lancers, who open play Sunday
afternoon at Catawba College in
Salisbury, NC, are pointing
toward a complete turnaround
from last year's 4-10-1 record.
Longwood's second-year coach
Rich Posipanko says the Lancers
will be vastly improved.
"We have brought in 15 new
players in my first full recruiting
year," said the coach. "As many
as nine of these players have a
good chance of cracking the
starting lineup. Longwood will be
drastically improved in every
aspect. This will be the best
Lancer team ever."
While the 1980 edition of the
Lancers may be the school's most
talented team ever, it is also the
youngest outfit in Longwood's
three-year soccer history. Of 22
squad members, 10 are freshmen, seven are sophomores
and five are juniors. Among the
group are seven returnees from
last season.
When Posipanko says that one
of his team's goals is to have a
winning season, he's saying quite
a lot. In three previous soccer
campaigns, Longwood teams
have compiled a forgettable 7-302 slate, including an 0-14 mark the
year before Posipanko's arrival.
The coach plans to turn things
around this year.
Pre-season scrimmages
against some tough opposition
have not dampened Posipanko's
optimism. He feels Longwood
will have a team that can
compete with anyone in Virginia.
Division II
With Longwood re-classified
from NCAA Division III to
Division II, the I^ancers will have
a difficult time getting a bid to
post-season play. Posipanko says
the Lancers will have to have an
outstanding record to make the
playoffs, but he believes he has
the players who can do it.

Graham Receives Certification
Dr. Gerald P. Graham,
associate professor of health and
physical education at Longwood
College,
has
received
certification as an exercise
technologist.
This certification qualifies him

the Preventive Rehabilitative
Exercise Technologist Summer
Workshop at Wake Forest
University. The workshop was
sponsored by the American
College of Sports Medicine and
directed by the departments of
medicine and physical education
at Wake Forest.
Included in the workshop were
50 hours of lecture on
cardiovascular and exercise
physiology, 20 hours of
electrocardiograph analysis, and
20 hours of graded exercise
experience. The workshop
concluded with a seven-hour
examination.
Dr. Graham holds degrees

Difficult Schedule
Facing Longwood is a 17-game
slate filled with some tough opponents.
"With our move to NCAA
Division II, the schedule has been
upgraded significantly," said
Posipanko. "We play nationally
ranked Division III opponents
Lynchburg and Averett, 1979
NAIA post-season qualifier
Radford and Sun Belt Conference
runner-up Virginia
Commonwealth University. Both
VCU and Richmond, another
Longwood foe, compete in
Division I."
Highlighting the early part of
the schedule will be the Steve
Nelson Memorial Tournament at
Ixmgwood September 12-13. VCU,
Division III power Trenton State
and North Carolina Wesleyan will
comprise the field for the
tournament, which is being held
in memory of the late Steve
Nelson, a member of last year's
soccer team who was killed in an
auto crash.
After a four-game trip against
some rugged Pennsylvania opponents, the Lancers return to
Virginia with four of their final
seven games at home. Longwood
will host arch-rival HampdenSydney November 4 in the battle
for the Farmville Herald
Challenge Cup, a trophy which
the winner of this annual battle
will be allowed to keep for a year.
Posipanko says the key to
longwood's season may depend
on his ability to mold the old and
new players into a smooth,
working unit. If he succeeds. 1980
could turn out to be the year of
the I^ancers in soccer.

Let's Talk About Death
By DEBRA CUNNINGHAM
On Thursday, September 11,
Dr. George G. Ritchie, Jr. M.D.
and Psychiatrist spoke on his
near-death experience. This
lecture was sponsored by the
Wesley Foundation and the InterReligious Council.
Dr. Ritchie is a native of
Richmond and has degrees from
the University of Richmond, the
Medical College of Virginia, and
a few other colleges. He does a lot
of traveling and giving speeches
all over the United States. He has
written a book, Return from
Tomorrow, and is working on
another book. He stated in his
lecture that there has been
more than 17,000 reported cases
of near-death.
Dr. Ritchie's experience
started in December of 1943 while
he was in the United States Army
and stationed in Texas. He was in
the hospital for an infection when
his experience occurred. The
doctor who was attending him at
the time his experience occurred
had pronounced him dead.
Dr. Ritchie told of what he
experienced and saw while he
was unconscious. He told of how
he met Jesus Christ and the great
light which shown from Him.
Dr. Ritchie stayed unconscious
for four days which seemed
virtually impossible because the
brain cannot go without oxygen
for more than five minutes, he
stated.
He definitely feels that this
experience was a lesson sent
from God to teach him to love
others as God loves him. Dr.
Ritchie feels that the real battle
between good and evil lies within
each of us.
Those that were at Dr.
Ritchie's lecture were left
spellbound after listening to this
fascinating account of his ordeal.
Many
people
remained
afterwards to ask him questions
and to talk with him privately.
Survey
Underway
By NINA BOWYER
The I/innwood Players' impending production, "Barefoot in
the Park," will, according to the intentions of Richard Gamble
and I .aura Carroll, differ in many ways from past productions.
The play tends to break away from the usual intellectual style
and offers an entertainment to the audience that has not been
present in the past.
Shakespeare and Ibsen, among other sophisticated
playwrights, have dominated the Jarman stage, with the more
entertaining intervals coming, perhaps every other year. Neil
Simon's play has been selected this year because of his comic
wit and continuing popularity. Simon has set the scene in a
very small, fifth floor, New York apartment, around the early
1960's. The atmosphere is light-hearted and easy-going, not at
all creating an intellectual turmoil in the minds of the audience.
In this production, Gamble would like to 'create an environment as closely as possible approximating the commercial
theatre." Many plans have gone into the production of this play,
inspiring a creativeness and inventiveness in all the crew
members that should prove to render this play among the most
interesting in recent times.
Johnny Cash Film
To Be Shown
The story is old, but the
perspective is updated and
brought into sharp focus by the
film The Gospel Road to be shown
on Saturday, Sept. 20, at ABC
Rooms. The showing will begin at
7.30 p.m.
The Gospel Road, distributed
bj World Wide Pictures, was
conceived and produced by
Johnny Cash and his wife, June
Carter Cash, whose desire was to
tell the story of Jesus Christ in a
realistic and meaningful way.
The film is a unique blend of
scripture-based narrative, an
abundant supply of specially
written songs, and a series of indepth character portrayals, with
Israel itself as the mixing bowl.
You are there, walking beside
the Jordan and the Sea of
Galilee; you are there, seeing
Him in many human situations
that establish a practical and
personal rapport with every
viewer.
You are there,
being
introduced to the disciples, and
gaining insights into their varied
personalities. You are there,
experiencing the highly charged
emotional impart of the trial
before Pilate, and becoming so
personally involved that you feel
sympathetic pain when Robert
Elfstrom, in an outstanding
portrayal of Christ, suffers the
physical attack that precedes the
Crucifixion.
Adding to the effectiveness of
The Gospel Road in its endeavor
to convey reality for this day are.
the fascinating treatment of the
Crucifixion, making this tragedy
an event of significance that
reaches from its own time across
the years to take on meaning for
all men of all ages; and the songs
and background music of Johnny
Cash and other outstanding
musicians, whose contemporary
style is not out of keeping with the
story ... a story that reveals that
His darkest day has become our
brightest.

The Economic Seminar Students, headed by Dr. Anthony
Cristo, will begin phase two of
their economic impact study of
Ix)ngwood College within the next
week. The students will be asking
both students and faculty to fill
out questionnaires.
This is the only way that the
seminar students, who also
conduct the Market Basket
Survey, have of measuring the
college community's total impact
on Farmville.
Persons filling out the
questionnaire do not identify
themselves. This information is
not obtainable within any other
resources.
Dr. Cristo asks the students
and faculty to return the information questionnaire as soon
as possible. This is the second
year that this survey has been
made. The results are interesting
to both the Farmville and
Longwood communities.
Judicial Cases
ByMITZI MASON
In the past the Judicial Board
has been called in to investigate
narcotics cases. This meant that
the students serving as
investigators of narcotics had the
responsibility of searching the
student's room. In some
instances student investigators
even felt that they were invading
their fellow classmates' privacy.
Under the new plan, these
problems will no longer exist.
The student investigators will
only investigate Honor Code
offenses such as cheating,
stealing and lying. The
Administration will handle all
narcotics cases in the future and
they will be assisted by the
Longwood College Campus
Police and local police. Students
will not be prosecuted by Judicial
Board for narcotics offenses.

Campus Politicians Organize
By NANCY LANG
With November only two
months away, the campus is
starting to talk of the presidential
election. Many have organized
themselves into the Campus
Republicans and the Young
Democrats. Both intend to create
new ideas of promoting their
respective candidates, Ronald
Reagan and President Jimmy
Carter.
The Republicans have several
fund-raising events in store for
the weeks ahead to raise money
for bigger projects. Each
semester the Republicans travel
to a participating college for a
workshop. This September, the
Republicans are planning to
attend the workshop at UVa.
Here they will learn campaigning
ideas and look for speakers for
the fall.
The Republicans will also be
conducting "phone banks" in the
local area around Farmville.
From state
headquarters
students will receive a list of local
names,
categorized
into
Republicans, Democrats, and
Undecided. Students call these
numbers in the local area,
attempting to draw the
Undecideds over to vote
Republican. Membership
Chairman Tom Moran stated that
the Campus Republicans hope to
debate the Young Democrats. A
Campus Republican meeting will
be held on Wednesday,
September 24. All interested are
urged to attend.
The Young Democrats are now
in the process of publicizing their
club. The group is now headed by
a temporary president, David
Oakes. Members are needed for a
strong representation of the club
this fall. There will be a meeting
Monday, September 22, at 8 p.m.
in Grainger 008 or contact David
Oakes, Box 929, 392-5300.
Elections will be held and all
interested persons are asked to
attend the meeting.

S-UN's Major Concert: Lacy J. Dalton
By SUSAN BUTLIN
Wednesday night, Sept. 17, is
the big night . .Because
Lacy J. Dalton and The Dalton
Gang will be performing in
Jarman auditorium!
Point of interest! Dalton's
concert is the major fall concert
along with the fact that Dalton
will be the first major female
vocalist to perform at Jarman in
the history of Longwood. More
importantly, Lacy Dalton was
recently the recipient of the top
new female vocalist award by the
Academy of Country Music.
However, Dalton's style is not
country music alone as you will
see.
So what, you say? Well, listen
to this: although Lacy Dalton
may not be a big name to
remember now, she will be in the
future. Recently magazines such
as: Time and People did
exclusive articles on the uprising
star. Both magazines compare
her to the late Janis Joplin, which
in itself is a tribute. Time
magazine describes her voice as,
"a husky — late night and last
drink voice that can curl under
and caress a ballad, or slide, like
a gravity knife, to a quick sharp
point that draws blood from a
backbeat," and People magazine
describes her voice as, "a bluesy
voice with incredible vocal
range." Both magazines agree
that Dalton is on the verge of
super stardom and she will be
performing right here!

performer who has sung almost having discovered Lacy Dalton,

By NEIL SAWYER
September 9 marked a major
entertainment breakthrough at
Longwood College. The event was
the first performance given at
Longwood by the "Flaming
Oh's" and the significance was
that the "Flaming Oh's" are fullfledged new wave rock and roll.
Longwood students have seen
almost everything from folk and
jazz to hard rock with more than
enough southern boogie in
between the campus but never a
real new wave band. Thanks to
the Student Union, Longwoods
first taste of new wave was grade
A.
The "Flaming Oh's" are a
Minneapolis based band with a
debut album under their belts
and an impressive list of guest
appearances with such major
acts as Elvis Costello, Molly
Hatchett, and the B-52's. Their
Longwood concert was part of a
mini-tour through Virginia and
West Virginia.
The concert held in the Red,
White, and Green rooms got off to
a rocky start when the equipment
truck was delayed and did not
arrive to set up until half an hour
after the show was scheduled to
start. This set the show time back
about one and one-half hours.
Once the band took the stage,
they wasted no time in
introducing the audience to their
own brand of new wave. After an
opening rendition of Bob Segers'
"Let it Rock", the band launched
full force into original material.
The bands entire performance
seemed well geared to an
audience of new-comers in the
new wave experience. One main
characteristic typical of a live
new wave performance is the fast
pacing in which songs are short,
fast and run together often
without a single second of silence
between the end of one song and
the start of another. Instead of
hitting and keeping a frenzied
pace throughout two sets, they
opened with straight rock and roll
and built faster into a spirited
version of the Rolling Stones
"Satisfaction" which ended the
first set. By this time the
audience was more plyable and
when the second set turned out to
be sheer new wave the audience
could adjust to it more
enthusiastically.
If the evening turned out to be
slightly short of a total success it
was certainly not the bands fault.
Live, new wave demands equal
energy from both band and
audience and while the band held
up its end the crowd reaction was
definitely lacking. For the most
part, the audience sat quietly
tapping their feet or just
watching while others made
ridiculous calls for "Free Bird".
The general impression was
that Longwood is not ready for
new wave since new wave is for
the chronically live, not the
hopelessly dead. Bring in the
southern boogie and pass the NoDoz.

which were familiar to the
students. Their newest album
and hit, "Don't Give Your Good
Boys Bad Names," had a rousing
effect on the audience. The end of
the first set was a blues duel
between the sax and the trumpet
which mounted in intensity and
culminated in the two moving
into the audience and utilizing
tables as their stage. They
received the first standing
ovation of the evening for their
duet duel.
After the first intermission the
sax player serenaded the
audience as he roamed about the
room, playing with the sincere
rhythm of the blues saxist. The
band brought the crowd to its feet
the second time with the song
entitled "Hard Work," and ended
the second set by promenading
through the crowd chanting "be
cool." The third and final set
required much sweat on the part
of the performers and the stacks
of beer cans grew to Mount
Everest proportions on some
tables.
The "Bill Blue Band" as it was
seen Saturday night is the fifth
rendition of the group according
to present members of the band.

"I've always liked the idea of a

began Kelly Sanderson, a senior

major
from
Winchester, VA. "I guess that
was one of the major reasons I
chose to come to Longwood. We
have a small student-teacher

It's getting close . . . That time of year is coming . . . That word keeps
popping up again . . . What is it? Oktoberfest is Longwood's fall festival and is
patterned after the celebration held in Germany each year.
For those students who have made Longwood a suitcase college, it is the one
weekend that their suitcase will either remain under the bed or in the storage
room. That, in itself is saying a lot.
Color class skits have already been written by the reds and greens and
approved by Geist. Tryouts will be held next week for these skits that will be
presented Friday and Saturday nights of Oktoberfest. This year's theme is Joan
of Arc and from the rumors we've heard, the skits this year could prove to be
quite interesting.
Thursday night is Geist Oktoberfest tapping. Geist members dressed as
klowns will recognize the 21 Klowns, eight ushers and usherettes, and three
meisters. We recommend that you be in Jarman, Thursday at 7 p.m. . . . You
never know who Geist will choose! It may be you!
Is Miss Longwood a thing of the past? This question has been asked over the
past three years, but it has still remained. It seems however that money
problems have caused the College to look at the matter deeper than before.
It seems only reasonable that an Ad Hoc Committee decided this summer to
terminate a pageant that constantly stayed in the red. Last year, very few people
attended the pageant.
However, those who are responsible for the Miss Longwood Pageant are
lighting for its survival. Legislative Board will hear an appeal to continue Miss
Longwood.
There are many pros and cons to this subject. It would only seem fair,
however, to say that the only way the Miss Longwood pageant should continue is
if it were organized better, had the full cooperation of those involved, and
remained in the black instead of in the red.
We are not saying that those who took on the responsibility in the past did not
do the best job possible under the circumstances. We are saying, however, that it
must be more organized and unified to continue.
And involved Kelly is. She is
presently president of Lynchnos,
the science honorary and
secretary-treasurer of Pi Mu
Epsilon, an honorary in math, as
well as a past member of Alpha
Lambda Delta, the freshman
honorary. Kelly also serves her
school as treasurer of the Senior
class and as senior class
representative to the Student
Alumni Association. She has
also participated in orientation
and in green-and-white activities
such as Oktoberfest and color
class skits.
"To borrow an old cliche, I've
grown to realize you can be a big
fish in a small pond here. Even
after all the discussion about the
administration and bad news
concerning the college, I have not
regretted my decision to attend
Longwood. I've received a good
basic background in my major
and feel prepared for either a job
or graduate work."
Kelly emphasizes that there
are always some disadvantages
when attending a small school.
"Not as many courses are offered
here, especially in the science
department, that are offered at a
larger college or university,"
Kelly states. "Also, I'd like to see
the science department get more
money for supplies and
equipment."
Kelly, with her major in
chemistry and a minor in math,
hopes to go to either Iowa State or
Virginia Tech after her
graduation from Longwood to
obtain a Ph.D. in chemistry.
Long-range plans include
working for the government in
industry and-or research and
eventually attending medical
school.
"I've become a better person
by attending college," Kelly
continues. "Longwood has
opened my eyes to the varied and
different things in life-especially
friends. I've lost contact with
many of the friends I had in high
school. But the friends I've made
here, I know I'll keep-even
the ones I leave behind."

RUSH... RUSH... RUSH... RUSH... RUSH
By LISA THOMAS
This week denotes the start of
rush. The excitement of all the
Greeks is at its peak. Questions
are being whispered such as
"How many girls signed up for
Rush?" and "What do you think
the quote will be?", etc. To a nonGreek this probably does not
sound that important, but it is.
This year the Greeks are
hoping, as always, for a large
rush! Rush is a fun-filled week of
activities presented by each
sorority to those girls who might
be interested in joining a
sorority.
Here are what the Presidents
from each sorority feels about
being a Greek:
Donna Bruce (ADP)—"Being a
Greek is much more than sharing
the symbols on a jersey. It is a
special bond of friendship that
can best be described as
sisterhood. Loyalty, unity, and
striving toward common goals
make the Greek system work."
Anna Staley (AGD)—'Being a
Greek in a sorority means having
sisters all over the place. You are ... knowing someone who cares
part of a family that shares and will be there always with a
cherished moments, ideals, 'song in her heart and a smile on
goals, dreams, and let-downs. her face!"'

Commentary
By BILL LeWARNE
It was only a tree, one could
argue. Cutting it down shouldn't
have been such a big deal. But to
a large number of Longwood
students, it wasn't just a tree, it
was THE tree. Perfectly
composed in the teardrop shape
that so few trees ever achieve, it
was nestled on the edge of
Longwood College's campus
park. In the spring it was the first
to turn green, and in the fall, no
other tree on campus could
compare with its mass of fiery
golden leaves.
However, in 1978, Longwood's
plans for a new gymnasium left
the drawing boards and began
searching for a place to settle.
The park quickly fell to a host of
bulldozers and construction
crews. And even though that one
favorite tree was on the edge of a
bank overlooking a street, it soon
confronted a bulldozer also—at
least until one brave student ran
in front of the tree, (and
consequently in front of the
bulldozer)and staunchly refused
to move until the thoroughly
confused driver backed off. With
that one defiant act, the
controversy over the saving of
the tree began a one and a half
year battle.
The very next night, a group of
students camped out around the
tree to encourage other students
to protest its removal and to gain
support for their cause.
"It had started getting pretty
cold at nights, and I wondered if
shivering around a tree all night
was really going to make a point.
But it was a lot of fun, and
something
to
tell
our
grandchildren about," one
participant recalled.
"The thing I remember most,"
said another, "is the campus
police riding by a lot, shining
lights on us and stuff, like they
wanted us to leave, but couldn't
really think of a reason to make
us. Then one of them stopped and
said 'good job', and kept going.
And that was the last we saw of
them."
Faculty support grew as time
went on, and several teachers
expressed their encouragement
for the students' "sincere
concern" for their environment.
Administrative enthusiasm
was more veiled, but the policy
makers eventually gave in to the
students' wishes, at least
temporarily. The tree would be
left alone until a definite decision
had to be made.
Throughout the winter of 78,
and on through the beginnings of
1979, the last survivor of the park
held its place, although
bulldozers crept dangerously
closer and closer, until the tree
was the sole occupant of a four
foot high mound of dirt in an
otherwise level field.
In the autumn of 1979, the fight
began in earnest, because
definite decisions had to be
reached. Construction on the gym
had begun, and the architect,
according to administrative
reports, doubted that the tree
could be saved. However, the
administration assured students
that it would do everything
possible to save the tree.
Then a bulldozer suddenly
began working on the street side
of the tree, and for no apparent
reason, ran a path parallel to the
street, shearing off masses of the
tree's roots and leaving it even
more isolated than before, sitting
precariously on a small rectangle
that was actually smaller than
the area the tree could shade.
At this point, the administration announced that if
the tree lived, and budded in the
spring, it would be saved. Of
course, most students felt that
they had been misled all along,
for there seemed little chance of
the tree living after such
damage, and it seemed to many
students that those who wanted
the tree removed were well
aware of this.
But nature is a fierce
competitor, and when spring 1980
arrived, THE tree, as usual, was
one of the first to show signs of
life, and the "tree savers" felt
that victory was at hand. A small
party-picnic was held around the
tree, attending mainly by those
who had begun the fight two
years earlier. Most were seniors
now, and could look on the tree as
their legacy to future students,
and as a memorial of sorts to the
campus park that had once been
where a nearly completed gym
now stood.
The victory was short lived.
Late in May, after graduation
and before summer school, the
tree came unceremoniously
down, not with a bang, and not
even with a whimper—nobody
was there. At least, no students
were there.
A faculty memo (May 27,1980)
from the president's office stated
that "Various groups have
carefully studied the matter. In
order to meet the construction
deadline, the Development
Committee of the Board of
Visitors has directed that the tree
be removed."
Summer school began in June,
and the few tree supporters that
were at Longwood were
outraged.
"When I first saw that the tree
was gone, I just couldn't believe
it. They waited until there was no
one here to say anything, and just
cut it down as though they had
never promised anything. And
there's no way I can believe it
was just a coincidence that it
suddenly had to be cut right after
graduation and right before
summer school," said one angry
student.
The administrative spokesmen
had repeatedly said that the cost
factor in saving the tree was the
primary reason for its removal.
However, even some members of
the
administration
have
expressed anger at the
mishandling of the affair. One
member of the administration
who is very active in Longwood
student affairs pointed out,
"Once that retaining wall was
begun, and headed in a direct line
towards the tree, students should
have realized that there was
never any intention of saving the
tree."
There has been little actual
student response since the fall
semester began a few weeks ago.
Of course, as one student noted,
the tree is gone. There really isn't
a lot that can be done. And sadly
enough, the fervor over saving
the tree will probably die down as
quickly as it grew. The present
senior class contains the last of
those who fought to save the tree.
All too soon, the campus park and
that one beautiful tree will live
only in the memories of alumni.
But for now, there are still quite a
few students who can recall
midnight rendezvous ("Meet me
under the tree..."), bright yellow
leaves in the fall, the battle that
drew them together for a
while,...and broken promises.
Cindy Roakes (EK)-"Being a
Greek means being part of a
large sister and brotherhood who
are allowed to break down into
small groups who have similar
goals and ideals. This also allows
you to meet with Greeks from
other schools on a level that a
non-Greek doesn't know about."
Sylvia Roberts (EEE)—
"Being a Greek is a million
things all rolled into one. It's
sharing special bonds of
friendship. Bonds that last a
lifetime. It's sharing all your joys
and heartbreaks with people who
are very close to you and care
about you. Being Greek also has
its fun, carefree times, parties
and mixers and meeting new
people. This is great, but after all
the parties are over, you still
have that special bond of
friendship."
Dolly Young (ZTA)—"Being a
Greek is a wonderful part of any
girl's life. The closeness, the
laughter, and the tears
experienced by the sisters, could
never be replaced. It's very
fulfilling to be a part of the Greek
system
working
towards
common goals, to bring the
Greek system closer together.
Being a Greek has definitely
added many irreplaceable bonds
of Friendship and wonderful
experiences to my college life."
As anyone can see from the
above quotes Rush week is
simply a fun week and a means to
the end—that of finding a group
of girls that will bring to those
new sisters the feeling of
friendship and belonging.
We invite all the Longwood
students to join with Greeks in
recognizing those rushees that
become pledges during our
traditional walk ceremony. Walk
will be held Sundav nieht at 7 .10
at Lankford Mall. Watch school
and sisterhood spirit to its fullest.
Dr, Hevener
Completes Book
By JODIKERSEY
Dr. Fillmer Hevener, Jr.,
associate professor of English
and consultant to student
teachers has completed a book
which will be published in 1981
entitled Successful Student
Teaching: A Handbook for
Elementary and Secondary
Student Teachers.
The primary purpose of the
book, Dr. Hevener stated is to
help serve as a transition device
to close the gap between being a
student and a student teacher,
enabling the student to make this
adjustment. The textbook will be
a
concise,
practical,
informational guide designed to
help steer the college student
through the intricacies of student
teaching as smoothly as possible.
It will answer questions often
overlooked by those preparing to
enter student teaching as well as
critical questions frequently
asked the author by those already
engaged in student teaching. In
addition, it will suggest teaching
methods which may be adapted
to instructional situations at both
the elementary and secondary
levels.
Hevener felt that many books
for student teachers are quite
outdated and that there was a
definite need for a book which
would help the student to prepare
for the experience of student
teaching, making it a more
successful experience. The book
will cover such areas as:
learning the
community,
becoming acquainted with the
school, keeping fit, organizing for
teaching, preparing for the first
days, relating to the supervising
teacher, relating to the college
supervisor, relating to the
students and parents, classroom
management,
major
instructional matters, and being
a professional.
Dr. Hevener stated that this
book will be equally beneficial to
those considering student
teaching or those already in the
teaching profession.
Artist-Series Presents
Chestnut Brass Company
The Performing Artist Series
will present their first concert
September 22, 8 p.m. in Jarman
Auditorium when the versatile
and acclaimed Chestnut Brass
performs a program of pops,
classical, jazz and ragtime
music.
The Chestnut Brass Company,
once a group of street musicians,
has grown into the vibrant
ensemble that has been selected
by the international musical
publication Musical America as
"Outstanding Young Artists to
Watch."
Their repertoire is varied and
includes concerts for college
students, children, and concerts
that cover a gamut of selections
from baroque and renaissance to
contemporary classical music.
LB. Dent, Student Activities
Director, stresses, "they don't
just present a classical
program." The Chestnut Brass
Company also performs such
popular works of Scott Joplin,
Duke Ellington, and Cole Porter.
This exciting ensemble has
charmed the musical world with
its
freshness
and
unpredictability. With each of the
five members being a skilled
soloist in his own right, their
combined efforts have favorably
impressed the music scene. The
members of the traveling
ensemble are Robert Gale,
trombone; Jay Krush, tuba;
Bruce Barrie, trumpet; Mark
Huxsoll, trumpet; and George
Barnett, French horn. The
members of the group
individually have attained firm
backgrounds in the music field
studying with members of the
Philadelphia Orchestra and at
Northwestern University, the
University of Illinois, Temple
University, Eastman School of
Music, and the Philadelphia
Musical Academy.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said
of the Chestnut Brass Company,
". . . the most demanding item
was a Handel aria from his
quintet for oboes, horns, and
bassoon; the group played it
fluently and movingly."
Tickets are free to longwood
students. They may be obtained
in the Student Union Office,
lankford.

An Ode To Success
Six months have passed since we first began
We've played both zone and man to man
There have been some highs and also lows
But that's the way a season goes
The thing, however, that's been great news
Is that our team refuses to lose
We were down to Maritime and St. Mary's too
And for our squad that was something new
But just when they thought they had it won
Once again we spoiled their fun
For some unknown, mysterious reason
We've been granted a championship season
And should be grateful for all so far
To B special, strange, mysterious star
That has watched over us one and all
And picked us up when we began to fall
So don't fight this special feeling
;ire and love with which we're dealing
You may not think so, but it's true
And now the rest is up to you

IAA
By PAM UPDIKE
The IAA is growing by leaps
and bounds. During the year 19781979 there were 830 participants.
This number grew to 1,350 during
the 1979-1980 school year and the
IAA "anticipates even more this
year," stated the IAA sponsor,
Carolyn Callaway. This growth
does not come from the increase
in student body size either, it is
just increased interest and
awareness.
The IAA is a service offered to
and paid for by the students. It
offers such things as sports
equipment check-out and open
recreation hours. Anything from
rugby balls to frisbees may be
checked out. All that you need is
your ID. The checkout times are
from 4-6 p.m., Monday-Thursday,
and 2-4, Saturday and Sunday.
Equipment may be checked out
at the back of Fler gym. If there is
some type of equipment that the
IAA does not have, you are
encouraged to ask for it and, they
will try to get it for you .
The IAA also offers open
recreation for students' use.
These are free times in which no
games or practices are
scheduled. Unfortunately, these
hours are not being used by
the students. They are being
closely watched this year
to see just how many students are using the available
places. If it is found that they are
not being used enough, then the
places and times will be taken
away from the students. The
Open Rec hours and locations
are: Her Field, Monday-Friday
3:30-6:00 and Her Gymnasium,
Monday-Friday 3:30-6:00. Any
other facilities will be posted in
Lancer Hall.
This year, the IAA is giving Tee
Shirts to each member of the
winning teams in each sport. At
the end of the year a Superstar
Competition is held. This consists
of 6-8 events culminating in the
obstacle course.
The Men's Flag Football
intramurals have had a large
turnout this year. Eleven teams
are competing. They are: Pi

Field Hockey - Gets Good Start
By CINDY DROPESKI
The field hockey team started
the season off right by defeating
Mary Washington 3-1 last
Wednesday. Chris Meyer, a
returning sophomore, took a
strong drive to put Longwood
ahead at halftime. The other
scores were from Bette Stanley
and Julie Dayton in the second
half.
Karen Kilmer, a third year
player, played an aggressive
defensive game. Another key
player against Mary Washington
was goalie, Teri Davis. Teri
stopped the ball on a penalty flick
and held her opponents to one
goal. Teri is a fourth year player
whose experience and skill will
be an asset to the team.
To continue their winning
streak, Longwood's first team
beat Lynchburg 3-2 and second
team won 1-0. The first score of
the game was made by freshman
Nancy Johnson on a penalty
corner. Chris Meyer again played
a good offensive game. She
scored when the ball deflected off
the goalie's pads. After many
consecutive attempts at the goal
by her teammates, Julie Dayton
drove in the last goal.

Volleyball
Opens
Season
From SPORTS INFO
Two of Ix)ngwood's fall sports
teams will culminate weeks of
hard season practice this week.
First-year volleyball coach
Nanette Fisher and returning
coach Phyllis Harriss will soon
see how well their perseverence
has paid off when their respective
teams open this season with
tough home matches.
Volleyball begins its schedule
tomorrow (Tues.) by hosting
James Madison and Louisburg.
Harriss will be attempting to
better last season's fall record of
6-3 when her tennis team opens
play on Friday against RandolphMa con.
Coach Nanette Fisher, a
Longwood graduate, will be
beginning her first vear as a
collegiate volleyball coach. The
1979-80 team compiled a record of
16-19 overall, and Fisher expects
to better this mark even though
she has a young squad.
Six of last season's team
members are returning, and five
of them will start in Tuesday's
game. Senior Sharon Will
(Madison Heights), junior Julie
Petefish (Stanley), and sophomores Kathy Gunning (Serern, Md.), Madeline Moose (Silver Spring, Md.), will provide
the experience on the starting
squad. Also starting for the Lady
I^ancers is junior Connie Murray
(Appomattox). Freshman starter
Duquette (Plattsburg, N.Y.) will
also be displaying her skills in the
opener. Coach Fisher emphasizes
that this starting line-up is only
for the first match, it could
change from game to game as the
other girls develop their talents.
Finishing out the volleyball
roster are Patti Adams (W.
Redding,
Ct.),
Jeannie
Breckenridge (New York, N.Y.),
Mimi Dreher (Roanoke), Joyce
Pool (Brookneal), and Coreen
Samuel (Coral Bay, Vt).

surgeon's wine tasting ability for
Chateux-de Rotchilds, vintage,
say 1926. Regardless of whether
1926 was a good year I was truly
impressed not only with the
record book statistics of 5'1"
Julie Dayton's athletic qualities,
but I was mesmerized by her
matter-of-fact good looks and
charming
soft
spoken
personality.
I had to prod and pry for Julie
to reveal any personal
accomplishments, but opening up
old doors and clearing the cob
webs from her modesty made my
forty-five minute interview a
challenge.
Julie is a twenty-one year-old
senior from laurel, Delaware,
where she attended Laurel High
School. There she played field
hockey, basketball and Softball;
lettering in all three sports for
four years.
At Longwood . Julie has
narrowed her varsity abilities to
field hockey and lacrosse. Last
year Julie lead the hockey team
with goals (seven for the season I
but struggled to a disappointing
3-12-3 record. This year's team is
undefeated after two games and
striving to remain in the
undefeated column. About this
year's team Julie boasted, "We
are young but have much
potential. Last year our record
showed we didn't win too much.
The games we lost were close and
this year we have a better team
to keep a more competitive edge
and come out on top."
I am certainly sure the quick
forward can retain her personal
contributions to help mold a
number one team.
Last year proved a victorious
season for Lady Lancer
Lacrosse. The team compiled a 75 win-loss record, and received
an at-large bid to National
competition. Julie lead the team
again as an attack wing with 54
goals. She is a member of the 1980
U.S. squad; who plays on the
international level, and she is
trying out for the 1981 Australian
Tour.
On the off-season Julie plays
softball during the summer, and
is equally as interested in her
boyfriend's summer league play.
Longwood College will lose
Julie this year to graduation. She
plans to teach her major, Health
and Physical Education for a
while before returning to school
for graduate work in the same
field. Longwood will lose Julie,
but the world of physical
education will be gaining one of
the most valuable assets in
human spirit; Julie Dayton.

Ruggers Fall
By T.C.JONES
The longwood Rugby Club
opened the fall season with a
double loss to VCU. The scores
were VCU 7 - LC 0, VCU 6 - LC 0.
Both games were defensive with
little offense. First game
inexperience for the new
members was a key factor in the
losses along with little aggressive
play on the part of the veterans.
Our next game at U of R should
see a different Longwood team.
The U.R. game is on Sept. 20.
Rugby schedules are available at
Cox dorm in the office. The
Longwood Rugby Club did
manage to win the party after the
games with the help of Frank
Heimroth.

Baynham: A Longwood First
i Continued from Page 1)
discrimination and prejudice are
personal problems in which
everyone has some degree of
participation.
The
minor
confrontations
he
has
experienced here so far have
been of no great consequence to
him. Mr. Baynham stated the
belief that so long as other
people's prejudice do not
interfere with his daily
functionings and purpose, he has
no excessive problems with
them.
Baynham plans to keep his
mind on set goals and attempt to
get people working together to
achieve those goals. Jumping to
conclusions will be avoided at all
costs, as will listening to rumors.
Mr. Baynham states the feeling
that these activities only tend to
aggravate present problems.
Baynham expresses much
enthusiasm concerning his
position as facilitator of
employee
relations
and
affirmative action programming.
He is very optimistic for
Longwood and the future. He
hopes to become familiar with all
the new procedures quickly and
begin helping to establish
congenial relationships between
all levels of employees in the near
future.
SUN's Concert
(Continued from Page 3)
Dalton must be something
special! How about a sensation of
the 1980's? Why not see for
yourself? Maybe a few years
from now when people are paying
$8 or $9 to see Dalton perform,
you can think back to the $3.50
concert you saw in Jarman
auditorium. It will definitely be a
night to remember even for
curiosity's sake! Don't miss it!
Blues In Full Style
(Continued from Page 3)
"bottleneck" style of guitar
playing after the "Father of Rock
and Roll," an elderly black man
from Forest, Mississippi, by the
name of Crudup. Bill played the
blues with Crudup for a short
time before going out on his own.
Early in his career Bill was a
lone performer playing primarily
blues and some jazz. The band
was actually formed due to Bill's
stage fright. When Bill was
scheduled to play with B.B. King
at the Mosque in Richmond, he
quickly organized a backup band
so he would not have to perform
alone. Since that time the band
has expanded to include a lead,
rhythm, and bass guitarist, a
drummer,
a
saxist,
a
combination trumpet and valve
trombone player, and of course
Bill, singing lead and playing the
bottleneck guitar.
The highlight of the band's
career was their performance
last week at "The Cellar Door" in
Washington, D.C. The "Cellar
Door" is considered by traveling
SopP»<t
musicians as a stepping stone to
the limelight. Bill indicated he
was pleased to be included on
Longwood's program this year
and commended I.B. Dent for his
ability to attract well-known
groups of musicians. Bill was
very impressed with the fact that
Longwood is hosting Lacy Dalton
this Wednesday night. Following
their performance Saturday
night the Bill Blue Band prepared
for their next stop which will be in
Baltimore at a bar called "No
Fish Today."
