Thompson Displays Cubistic Art In Exhibition Room Of Library Now on display in the exhibit room of the Lancaster Library are paintings by Mr. Lewis O. Thompson. Mr. Thompson's paintings will be on display until the end of February. One of Mr. Thompson's paintings will be purchased by Longwood and it will be added to the college's collection of paintings by Virginia artists. Mrs. Janice Lemen, one of Longwood's art Instructors, said of Mr. Thompson's works, "Mr. Thompson's paintings can be classified stylistically as synthetic cubism in the tradition of
Picasso, Braque, and Gris. Mr. Thompson confined still life shapes to the center of the picture and surrounded the center by planes and shapes which grew out of both the back and foreground materials." Born in Augusta, Georgia. Mr. Thompson received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters degrees from the University of Georgia. Mr. Thompson plans to take a leave of absence from the faculty of Hollina College next year In order to visit Florence for a year.
For Newly-Proposed Summer Stock Theater From H«mp<len-Sy<Iner Tl«*r
Southside Virginia may have a summer stock theater this summer. Plans are now being made for the opening of a summer playhouse In Drakes Branch, Virginia, located about 30 miles from Farmville. The company would consist of six men and women, all students of either Longwood or Hampden-Sydney. The group, which Includes Betty Anne Atkinson, Mike Couchman, Ed Baker, Pat Newton, Dave Relyea and Bill MacGulre, hopes to present a different play every week for the duration of the summer. Betty Anne Atkinson has performed in seven plays during hex years at Longwood. She Is particularly remembered for her portrayal of Mrs. Smith in The Bald Soprano, for which she won the Best Actress Award for the 1961-1962 season. In Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Betty Anne took a relatively small servant's role and turned It into a hilarious showstopper. The apex of Miss Atkinson's career at Longwood. however, came In December of 1963 when she did a truly brilliant Job as Mrs. Alvlng in Ibsen's Ghosts Her performance has been referred to as one of the greatest
accomplishments at Longwood In years. Betty Anne Is currently student - teaching at RandolphHenry High School and directing Jean Sartlne's one-act play The Claw for presentation at Randolph • Henry. When asked about the theater. Betty Anne replied. "I'm terribly excited, and with a lot of hard work. I have faith we can do it." Mike Couchman Is an old veteran of the Longwood stage, having participated In almost every play performed there during his stay at Hampden-Sydrey. His characterization of Creon in Jean Anoullh's adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone was superb, and brought a note from the director which read, "fine Job, I couldn't have done It any better myself." This role also was responsible for Mike's receiving the Best Actor Award for the 1961-1962 season. His powerful part as Akin, the fanatically devout father in Tolstoy's Power of Darkness, seemed to dominate the stage, and lent an air of professional Intensity to a college production. For this and two other roles, Mike won the Best Actor Award for the 19621963 season. Mike is currently involved with a small role in Goldsmith's She Sloops To Conquer, but will once again step into the lead this spring by playing Maltland in The Chalk Gar-

Summer Stock Needs Interest Money, Patrons (Continued from page 1) Darkness, and Major Barbara while at Hampden-Sydney. He Is now working with a smaller role In She Stoops To Conquer. Contributions Needed These are the six men and women who hope to Initiate the summer theater. They need, however, the support of the community and of the alumni of Hampden-Sydney If they are to succeed. Starting a summer stock theater is an enormously expensive undertaking, and any contributions would be earnestly solicited and deeply appreciated. Paint, surplus lumber, old clothing which might be used for costumes, and more Important. Insurance which might be donated would be very helpful. Monetary contributions are. of course, essential Patrons would receive, in return, nonvotiruj stock in the playhouse and. naturally, a season's ticket. All patrons would be publicly acknowledged In the advertisements of the company and any contribution of $100 or more would entitle a person or organization to a position on the Board of Directors Bi-monthly meetings are planned for the Board of Directors, at which time a dinner will be served for their enjoyment.

play—mostly on LC's court. In a last desperate attempt by Madison to recover, the game ended 48-30 for the Blue and Whites. In the second game Longwood ran Into hard luck. The home team hit from all over the court and Madison mostly on lay-ups. but the visitors came out on the better side of the deal In the end. Good passing and even scoring preval'ed in the second quarter which wound up 22-22. The rough third period proved to be a downhill one for Longwood College. Madison capitalized on their Jump shots from the side and also Longwood's rather sloppy playing. In a quick quarter marked with pass interceptions by Madison, Longwood was outscored 113. The game nM 50-33 for the Madison team.
Recently a very awestruck sports' fan observed a basketball game. It ad not begin any differently than games of several years past, but before the game had oee.i in play very long, the reieree was receiving a heckling from me for negngerce In the middle of play the referee i.ever noticed the forwaid of the red team ond the guard of the blue team cross the ce.iter line. In fact, neither of the teams were upsef by their mistakes. After half time I cjrcu.so that each Yearn began with two stationary guards and a roving forward in its front court and two stationary guards and a roving guard in its back court. When play began, and the ball was passed from the center circle into the red team's front court, the roving guard of the red team crossed the division line into her front court ond became her team's fourth forward. The blue team's roving forward crossed with her to become her team's fourth guard, equalizing the number of players in that court. In the opposite court each team had two stationary players. This new type of basketball provided the incentive for all-around play on the part of each girl. The origina game required the attention of every player to know where the ball was on the playing court, now the alertness of each position had to be increased. Each player knew her function and performed the motions of shooting, guarding, or dribbling in on almost rehearsed fashion The players ran, or dribbled, all over the court, whether the ball was in the opposite curt or not. Her quick actions kept me shifting my eyes over the play;ng area. At the finish of the game the referee was forgiven, and I decided to investigate trvs new form of basketball Now after an inquiry I can verify that "the roving players" were justified in their actions ond provided a more challenging game for participants and more enjoyable game for observers.
