Sprague Publishes First Biography, C George Eliot, 19th Century Novelist By FAY SHIFFLET "George Eliot: A Biography," the twelfth book of Dr. Rosemary Sprague, professor of English at Longwood, will be published by the Chilton Book Company in the early part of April. Until now there has been no biography of George Eliot, one of the major nineteenth century novelists, for the general reader. The book, which is largely the product of Dr. Sprague's own study and research, contains considerable critical material as well as commentary on George Eliot's novels and poems. George Eliot's main volume of work includes "Adam Bede," "The Mill on the Floss," "Silas Marner," and "Middlemarch." Mary Ann Evans, who was known to the world as George Eliot, destroyed much of the correspondence which would have shown the world more about her life because she did not want her biography written. In her book Dr. Sprague presents an understanding and compassionate look into the life and works of this genius. Dr. Sprague's home is in Cleveland, Ohio. She did her undergraduate work at Bryn Mawr College and her graduate work at the Western Reserve University. She studied at the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon and at the University of London after receiving her doctorate. In addition she
Dr. Helms models the suit he will wear In the Mr. Longwood Contest.

Peter Youngblood Guest Of YWCA Speaks On Viet Nam
Bobby: Can He Win? Senator Robert F Kennedy announced Saturday his intentions to challenge Senator Eugene McCarthy and incumbent President Lyndon Johnson for the Democratic presidential nomination The revelation has created mixed reactions and raised the inevitable question. Can he win? The odds are against him. To begin with, his timing was disastrous He has been accused in Washington of "ruthless opportunism," of riding in on McCarthy's victory wave in New Hampshire Bobby claims that now that the Minnesota senator has shown that a split in party support does exist, he is justified in opposing Johnson. Maybe so, but the fact remains that it was McCarthy who laid the groundwork; it was he who originally had the courage to challenge the President To anti-Johnson Democrats, McCarthy is the hero. But there is a deeper problem Kennedy's candidacy has virtually ruined all hope of another Democrat taking the nomination from Johnson This country definitely needs new leadership, but Bobby has killed his party's chance of providing it A split in the anti-Johnson forces will only assure the President's renomination, even though he is likely to lose the election America is generally discontent with the present administration, and it won't be difficult for a Republican to beat him Thus, Kennedy is hurting not only himself, but his party as well. What does Bobby have going for him3 He must think he has a chance to win, or he wouldn't be running Vietnam will be a central issue in this election; his platform includes de-escalation of the war, which is what most of the American people want. But this is McCarthy's stand also. Is he countinq on his name to pull him through' To many who loved and qricved for his brother, the late President John F. Kennedy, the name Kennedy carries a lot of weight But there arc few educated Americans who are going to teminate their thinking there. Bobby will have to prove himself In fact, his name may be more of a handicap than a help The crime of JFK's assassination probably made him more of a hero than he would otherwise have been Bobby's going to find it hord to come up to that image In short, it looks like rough going for Robert Kennedy. — MAM
This past Monday night, the YWCA sponsored a talk by Peter Youngblood on Viet Nam. After two years in the United States Army, Peter has returned to Hampden-Sydney as a pre-med student.

Peter showed about sixty-five slides covering the living conditions of the people of Viet Nam, what the average draftee does in preparation for his tour of duty, the tour itself, and the return from Viet Nam. A question and answer period then followed. The Return Of The Native!
Letters To The Editor
Social Hour At The Library The library is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to study there Studying requires concentration, and concentration is not often achieved during a social hour. Recently, there have been cases of students venturing to the library with the intention of studying. How naive1 Who goes to the library to study3 Everyone knows it is a gathering place to discuss the latest gossio, lament on the overwhelming homework assignments, and hold panel discussions on the feasibility of staying at school this weekend to catch up on the work you happen to be behind in And, where else would the male population go to get away from the dorm if they did not go to the Longwood library7 Students have to go somewhere to get out of their rooms so that their roommates can study' , Really, girls, if you wpnt to study, find someplace else other than the library'We must'be reasonable and* try not to interfere with the nightly socials held in Lancaster The science building and Hiner are usually very quiet — M. K. M
Dear Editor: We would like to make a response to the letter of William S. Blackwell concerning the Junior Ring Dance. He is correct in assuming that this is THE social event of our year, and therefore we believe that it should be molded to the taste of the Junior Class, since it is the Junior Ring Dance. How many times before have we gone to formal dances and then left partly due to the "legitimate dance music?" Let us remember that music and dancing, along with art and literature, reflect the changing times, and at one time the stately waltz was a "current transient frenzy". Willie also has a misunderstanding
'Neither A Borrower Nor Lender Be* By LIBBA BALL "Neither a borrower nor a lender be. . ." These words, spoken by the well-versed Benjamin Franklin centuries ago, still prove noteworthy today, even on our own campus. Girls, always wanting to have on a new dress, a different hair-ribbon, a different tyled ahoe, oi a more colorful piece of jewelry or matching head scarf will borrow each others' belongings. Wli\ ii is necessary to liave on something now or different to impress "Mi. Wonderful," is a matter of each girl's own discretion, but the important Han to remember is thai what you are wearing should be roui il We've been warned by our mothers time and time again, "Don't borrow each other|' clothe*, You may nothave the most attractive or expensive wardrobe in the world, but don't borrow. If Vi, » i i ■omethlageDoughtoborrowlt, your father and I will buy it for you; but don't burrow.'" These warning! have remained un-
heeded, much to our regrets. At first, when our friends borrowed our clothes, it was an occasional, "Hey, hope you don't mind if I throw on your coat!" Well, if you've already got a coat on and you really don't mind, then this approach is permissible, but the chronic borrower never asks if you'll need to wear your own coat. Even when '.on're not in your room, or away for a weekend, this pest will take what she wants without asking. Whether or not she thinks she doesn't need permission or whether she thinks you won't mind, the fact that she is taking your clothes without your permission remains. Now I am not opposed to this occasional lending-borrowing exchange. However, when you lend your nice expensive sweaters, blouses, suits and shoes out, you expect to have them returned in exactly the same condition you lent them. Furget this! Personal experience has taught me the lesson all too well. Your gar-

Peter's talk covered a period of eleven months during which time his Infantry Platoon was "in the field". He was one of the "few and far between" combat medics in the First Cavalry Division. His base camp was An Khe, in the central highlands of Viet Nam. From this point, his airmobile division moved to many areas, conducting patrols, ambushes, air assaults, search and destroy missions, and just about anything else that was needed. Besides aiding an average of forty men, he also helped to give medical aid to the civilians in the area.
nut
ments, for the most part, will be returned, (sometimes weeks or even months later), soiled, wrinkled, scarred, or marked with water (as the case with shoes), and generally in a condition that they need major repair jobs before you, the owner, can rewear them. This is disgusting! Seldom do you find someone who borrows and actually lias the garment cleaned or the shoes polished. When this rare "happening" does occur, you can be certain that the girl is responsible and has taken the same meticulous care of your clothes as you do. Chances are, this won't happen, so be careful, if you do lend your things, that the girl will treat them with T.L.C. Once I asked to borrow something. It was the first time I had asked this certain girl, and I had been lending her clothes all year. Finally I decided to "collect." I saw a dress which I simply fell in love with, and asked if 1 might wear it to church the following Sunday. Her reply, if not honest, at least quelched my appetite. "No, I'm sorry, I'm planning to wear it this weekend myself!" I thought this was such a clever way to get out of lending something,, that I suggest those who're constantly "hit" adopt this line, too. It may not be true, but in any case, the girl who comes to borrow will get the hint and stop asking to borrow your things. The best policy is not to borrow. If you don't borrow, then you won't iiil obligated to lend your things. If you don't lend your things, you will feel more satisfied with your belongings and you won't go around campus complaining about your thoughtless "friends." You should level with your md tell them exactly how you feel about their using your things. That way, there are no hard feelings, and if the) do ask to wear your tilings ,, the) will know what you expect in the way of proper treatment. And good luckl
of the planning of the concert. Janet Williams and Linda Hudson are to be commended for their planning and hard work since the summer of 1967. Through no fault of theirs Jr. Walker and the All-Stars did not fulfill their obligation. Ii Mr. Blackwell had ever worked with such groups before, he, too, would realize the irresponsibility of many entertainers toward contracts. If he wouldn't even stay for Saturday night's event, what assurance do we have that he would come on Friday? Also, he calls himself a "gentleman", yet he "forced ... a hasty exit from the dance" upon his date. Surely he wasn't very considerate of her wishes. All those who ate in the dining hall on Saturday evening found the meal attractive, enjoyable, and delicious. Nothing stopped the guests from eating in our dining hall except their own choices. We as Juniors enjoyed our Ring Dance, and we thank all those who made this memorable occasion possible. Sincerely, Margi Lantz Linda Fletcher Jenny Dunville Janet Sofley Nancy Boswell
Students: I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our City and sincerely hope that your stay will be a pleasant and memorable experience. In order that neither you nor the City incur any unpleasantness, the following suggestions and policies have been instituted and will be adhered to unequivocally. 1. Do not come to Fort Lauderdale unless you definitely have a confirmed housing reservation. Our policies and ordinances prohibit sleeping in cars and/or sleeping in the open. Campers or trailers are not permitted to park on the beach. If this type vehicle is to be used as living quarters it must be parked in a trailer park specificaUy licensed for this purpose. 2. All the laws that govern the conduct of the individual will be enforced. A person must be 21 years of age in order to purchase or consume alcohol. Persons guilty of intoxication, (it should be noted that drinking in the open is not permitted) narcotics, use of false identification, creating unnecessary noise or any other form of disorderly conduct and any other unlawful act wiU be arrested and prosecuted. Violations of the traffic code wiU result in apprehension and prosecution of the offender. 3. Parents and school officials of any and all students arrested during this period will be officially notified. Students should be aware of the fact that persons who are arrested and convicted on any charge will have established a permanent, and some-
times criminal, record against themselves which could have a detrimental influence later in life. It is the feeling of the City Commission, this office and all of the City departments involved, that if your conduct while in Fort Lauderdale follows your personal guidelines while on campus, that your vacation will indeed be a pleasant and memorable experience. CordiaUy, R. H. Bubier, City Manager, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. » * * Dear Editor, I would like to say a few words in response to William Blackwell's letter concerning the Ring Dance. Being a junior, I took his letter as an insult. It seems that "Mr." Blackwell had no idea how much time and ti >uble went into that weekend. The stat, nent he made about the concert was really too much. No one informed him that Linda Hudson and Janet WUliams worked frantically to book a group, ANY group, up until the last week before the dance. At one time we almost did not have a concert because different performers had backed out on us. This was the fault of the performers themselves, not poor planning! Also, if William Blackwell wants to donate the funds necessary for a "little i|ffair on Friday night" and a Saturday ight banquet, then he's more than welt me. Until then, I fear that no future junior class will be able to afford such luxuries. Sharon Curling
Friday night, March 22, from 8:30-11:00 p.m., girls will be able to eat and relax at the snack bar In Lankford to the tune of "The Soul Masters."

Turnverein Becomes Member Of National, Delta Psi Kappa Turnverein, Longwood's local honorary physical education fraternity, has recently been accepted for membership in Delta Psi Kappa, national honorary fraternity for women in physical education. The Longwood group was notified on February 26, 1968, that it was to be recognized as Beta Lambda chapter of the fraternity. Mrs. Eleanor Bobbitt, faculty sponsor, and the members of the group were thrilled at the news. Efforts have been under way since 1963 to reach this goal. Officers of Beta Lambda chapter are Anna Pettis, President; Maywood Martin, Vice-President and Historian; and Pat Halstead,Secretary and Treasurer. Senior members are Donna Tribby, Carol Blythe, Pat Ingram, Ellen McClendon, Joan West, Jean Hendricks, Betty Patterson, and Angie Smith.

Longwood Creates New Economics, Government Majors By PAT LUCAS Next year Longwood students will have the opportunity of majoring in two new fields, economics and government. Economics is planned to meet the needs of those students desiring specific endorsements to teach economics and accounting. It is designed to prepare them for entrance into a career of business management or for admission to graduate school to study business or economics. Government is now a required subject in most high schools. Dr. Lane stated that the addition of this major will enable interested students to enter schools and teach this subject. It will also offer opportunities to do graduate work and to hold government positions.

LC Fencers Bow To Wm.& Mary But Gain Valuable Experience On Friday, March 15, Longwood had a fencing match at the College of William and Mary. The match was quite an exciting experience for our 10 L.C. representatives. Among their comments were, "It was really different from the fencing that we've been doing in class", and "We all hadagreattime and hope that we can have some more matches." "I was completely exhausted after fencing three bouts," was Linda Atkinson's statement. The match began at 2 p.m. on Friday with one of the William and Maryprofessors acting as director. Students who participated in the match served as judges and timers when they were not in competition. L.C.'s first group lost to W. &M., 8 to 1, the second group put up a good fight but lost 5 to 4, and the third group also lost by the same score. There were three members from each college in each group and a round robin tournament was played within each group, so that each person fenced in 2 or 3 bouts. The limit was 5 minutes or 4 points. William and Mary's fencers have been fencing since November and are members of the W. Si M. Varsity team. Following the two hour match, a tea was held for all participants. Some of the Longwood representatives have expressed their hopes for another match with W. 4 M. as well as for matches
with Westhampton andRandolph-Macon Women's College. L.C.'s representatives included Nancy Harris, Ellen Hodnette, Anna Pettis, Eve Oxman, Melinda Whitman, Theresa Elder, Linda Atkinson, Aleta Sandkan, Penny Ebberly, and Judy Haynes; they were accompanied by Miss Sally Bush, fencing instructor.
H20, Corkettes Give Water Show, .. A Child's World" The Corkettes and H20 Club have been practicing for the water show which opens tonight, Wednesday, March 20, at the pool. Admission is 35? per person, and all are invited to attend. This year's annual show is promising with costumes and props for the first time.

The water show will run through March 23. Wednesday and Thursday nights, it will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights, it will begin at 8 o'clock.
Last Tuesday night the Longwood Varsity Basketball team played against the Hampden-Sydney Intramural champions at the Farmville Armory. The game proceeds were given to the Heart Fund. Attendance was not up to par due to rainy weather, but those who were there saw a good game. The boys played according to girls' basketball rules and a few extra restrictions; they were not allowed to shoot from inside the key and they could not go up for rebounds. At the end of the regular period of play, the score was tied and the game was extended for 3 minutes of overtime. Oddly enough, at the end of the overtime period the score was again tied, so 3 more minutes were played. This time Hampden-Sydney came up with enough points to give them a 69-67 win over our
Varsity team. All participants enjoyed the game which was taken just seriously enough to make it a good game. I'll refrain from making any further comments about the game - you can ask the girls themselves if they enjoyed it! Well, let's hear it for Jinx - who else could throw a lacrosse ball over the fence and manage to hit the car of the House Association sponsor??? Remember, you can check out tennis rackets and balls and golf clubs in the Old Gym locker room from 9 to 5 p.m. during the week. This equipment can be checked out for the week end, too. Get in some extra practice for your classes! Miss Bush, where is the steak house at the Plaza? Hope you've gotten your directions straight for next time. Approximately 80participants signed up for Badminton this year which is twice the number of last year. The program has been going well and everyone has been having a great time, thanks to Shorty Marconi, Kathy Parker, and the sponsor, Mrs. Harriss. See y'all at the Watershowp.
Exciting Season Opens Badminton Intramurals By CAROL YOUNG The opening of Badminton Intramurals on Tuesday night, March 12, was the first step in what appears to be a very exciting season. This year the participation is at an all time high with 76 people which is one-third more than last year. Also, this year, there will be a double elimination tournament which provides an opportunity for all participants to play more than once. With the goal of five class points and one individual point for participating, the reason for its success
STAMP IT! IT'S THE RAO!
is self-evident. In the words of Kathy Parker, "It seems the Red 'n Whites realize they need these points, while the Green 'n Whites want to make sure they don't get a thing." Practices are held at 7:00-8:00 and 10:00-11:00, in the New Gym, providing a good break from studying. Under the guidance of managers "Shorty" Moriconi and Kathy Parker and faculty advisor Mrs. Phyllis Harriss, the season should end as it began - most exciting and very successful.

LC Students Attend Mock UN; Represent Nigerian Delegation By SUE SLATE Longwood sent four representatives to the Middle South Model United Nations convention at Chapel Hill, N.C., last week. The convention was actually a mock U.N. sponsored by the Council for International Relations and UN Affairs, a nationwide organization. This was the tenth Middle South mock UN held by CIRUNA. Around 46 colleges sent delegates and each college represented a country. Longwood's delegates Lavonia Dixon, Betty Mayton, Lynne Rachal and Diane Kitchie acted as the Nigerian delegation. They had to study the history of Nigeria and how it would vote on UN resolutions before they left. The colleges represented 74 UN members. The delegates were divided into four committees: special political, political, economic and financial, and cultural. These committees discussed the resolutions presented to them. On Friday and Saturday the General Assembly met and the resolutions were discussed and voted on. Several resolutions which passed were: the economic development of underdeveloped
nations, UN help for the Middle Eastern and South East Asian war refugees and a nonproliferation treaty now under considerment in the UN. There were also numerous speakers including the Ambassador of Indonesia and the African Peace Corps Director. The overall purpose of the mock UN is to explain the need and use of the United Nations in today's world.
Longwood goes co-ed as two Hampden-Sydney students take a Literary Criticism class.

"Huis Clos." Monsieur Aresu, a native of France, is presently studying English at the University of Virginia, where he is also an instructor of French. The 1968 officers of Les Francophiles are: Susan Dupriest, president; Anne Gulick, vice-president; Carole Coleman, secretary; Linda Pelikan, treasurer; and Gayle Yeatts, reporter.
Wilson Attends Conference (Continued from Page 1) This year, Dean Wilson expects to be particularly active in this phase of the meeting. For the first time in eight years, she will be meeting with NPC sorority delegates interested in possible colonization on Longwood's Campus. Longwood plans to invite two additional sororities to colonize in the spring of 1969, bringing the total of national sororities to eleven. Colonization is the first step toward the formation of an active sorority on a college campus.
Mr. John Haines Coffey, Director of Campus Ministry for the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Church, will be the speaker for the Wesley Foundation on Sunday evening, March 24, at 6:30 p.m. in the Methodist Student Center. Mr. Coffey will present a lecture entitled "The Boo-Hoo Stages a LaughIn." The lecture on the Lent season should prove interesting and valuable. Mr. Coffey is a graduate of BaldwinWallace College, Berea, Ohio and received his Bachelor of Divinity at Duke University Divinity School. He has served as the Association Minister of the Washington Street Methodist Church, Alexandria, Virginia; the Associate Director, Wesley Foundation, University of Alabama; Director of the Wesley Foundation, Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
By FAY SHIFFLET A program of exchange of students has been started between Longwood and Hampden-Sydney whereby students who need to take courses not offered at their school can take the course at the other college. Presently, there are some Longwood students taking a course in computer math at Hampden-Sydney and some Hampden-Sydney students are enrolled in advanced English courses and an education class here. Next year there are plans to expand the program into other areas. Since the program has just begun plans are still being worked out. In an effort to make the exchange easier, the calendars of the two colleges are now being worked out to coincide in opening date, vacations, and closing date next year. Dr. Willett has stressed that the program concerns only those classes

which the students cannot take at their own school. The program will include mostlv electives in the student's major field. In addition to cooperation in classes the two colleges are also working together in other ways. Hampden-Sydney students often come to Longwood's placement office for interviews with representatives from various school systems. Hampden-Sydney students also make use of the Longwood library.
