students after UlC surprise rally, las! Thursday.
Dr. WiUett Has Got The Power! By MARY ALICE CARMODY Last week was a week of rallies and riots at colleges and universities across the country - Cornell, Johns Hopkins, American, Hampton Institute . . . And, for quite a different purpose, Longwood had a rally. At 4:45 Thursday, April 24, Longwood ladies, newspapermen, and others began to assemble on Wheeler Mall
for a surprise honoring of Dr. Willett. A banner on Wheeler Dormitory proclaimed "This is WiUett Country" as well as the buttons the students wore. Janice Austin, president of Legislative Board, announced the strategy. When Dr. Willett arrived, the crowd broke into cheers followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." (Continued on Page 4)

Geisl And Sigma Nu Join To Sponsor Bloodmobile Red Cross Labeled Visit A "Complete Success" The Bloodmobile visit to Longwood on Friday was a "complete success," according to local official! of the American Red Cross. An official report states that in securing 154 pints of blood Longwood exceeded its assigned quota m 125 pints, an accomplishment made possible by the close cooperation of Longwotid and Hampden-Sydney students. Sponsored for the first time at Longwood by Geist, organizational and promotional plans called for the active participation of representatives of all major Longwood campus groups. Participation of Hampden-Sydney was coordinated by Si^ma Nu fraternity, under the leadership of Larry Campbell who directed a highly successful visit of the Bloodmobile to Hampden-Sydney last February that netted 199 pints of blood, second highest amount ever donated in the Farmville area. The all-time high for Bloodmobile visits to the area is 231 pints of blood, donated when the Bloodmobile w ited Longwood in 1968, a visit participated in by both Hampden-Sydney and Longwood students. "We wish to commend the students of Longwood and Hampden-Sydney for making the recent Bloodmobile visit a complete success. At Longwood members of Geist received excellent cooperation from other students and the college's staff. ' Ever since their first participation in the blood program in 1963, Farmville area students have responded in a most successful way to the need for blood donations. "Oui local chapter is proud t be associated with students of I wood and Hampden-Sydney," it was stated by Mrs. Anthony J. Munoz and Mrs. Adelaide Edwards, Blood gram Chairman and Director, respectively, of the Farmville Chapter ol the American Red Cross.

Tradition Is Cherished In The Hearts Of All Here Next year Longwood will open its doors to 200 extra freshmen and the year after that even more will be accepted There is no doubt about it, we are growing, the new dormitories will allow an increased enrollment which means more and more new faces on campus It may be a physical impossibility to know each one of them, but we can try. One of the most treasured aspects of college is tradition, Longwood has its traditions such as Chi, Rotunda sings, color spirit, class spirit, and most important Blue and White spirit These are instilled in each and everyone of us at Longwood and we are proud of them Something must be done for next year and the following years to keep this feeling The friendliness of our campus is something very rare and must be preserved at all costs The Sophomore class has already made plans to greet the incoming class of '73 in September with enthusiastic girls eager to share their love for Longwood with their sister class. This should not be left up to the present sophomore class, it is the duty of all classes whether red or green to show their spirit and enthusiasm by getting out and meeting them Each girl has something to offer us and it is up to Longwood to offer the challanges to bring out their various talents It should also be emphasized that academic pursuits are the main reasons for entering college and that studies must come before anything else, we must do everything possible to raise the academic standing of Longwood in Virginia — V. C. M
Greek Week at Longwood College will be held May 5-8. At five o'clock on Monday, May 5, the week's activities will commence with a powder-puff football game. A bridge party is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6, at seven o'clock in the Gold Room. Stubbs Mall will be the location of a sorority sing to be held on Wednesday, May 7. This sing involves individual sororities who will sing a serious song as well as a rush song. All students are invited to come. All sorority presidents, the president of Panhellenic Council, and its advisor, Mrs. Robert Woodburn, will attend a luncheon with Dr. Willett and student government officers on Thursday, May 8 in the Tea Room. Later that day, from 5 to 7, the sororities will have a picnic on Stubbs Mall. There will be a Panhellenic song contest for a song that all Greeks can sing together. In past years, the Greeks have had a banquet. This year they decided to have a picnic because it would be less formal and they thought everyone would enjoy themselves more.
This Here Is Willett Country! In his seventeen months as Longwood's chief administrator, Dr. H I Willett, Jr has defied campus leaders across the country. He has denied student upheaval His interest and concern for his students prompted Longwood's first student-government-sponsored rally We, the student body, wanted to express our thanks for such an understanding, deserving person. Unlike Radford, Cornell, Hampton Institute, and American University, last week's demonstration was not a militant protest Rather, we met the press with cheers, songs of unified appraisal, and a genuine attempt to prove the culture of the South and respect for authority still remains on our campus. Nevertheless, although we have presented ourselves to the Virginia public as conservative young women, we redeem our rights to express ourselves as members in a democracy. Our cry for unity is equal in volume to that of any liberal protester's. We should take pride in what we believe and substantiate our beliefs as strongly as those whose opinions differ from ours As for the handful of students who conferred in last week's downtown march . . . you have a right to express concern in local matters However, several Richmond newspaper releases removed your 'rose-colored' glasses It seemed as if your involvment darkened prospects for a successful student-body rally. But, in a democracy, the maiority rules — and "This Here's Willett Country'" To make April 24 even more memorable, the members of Chi were disrobed at the annual Burn Congratulations to those who received 'Chi Commends ' "And for those that Chi does not commend " — E.

Mrs. Betty Friedan A New Philosophy In Jarman Auditorium on April 22, Mrs. Betty Friedan, author of the best s*ll< i "Feminine Mystique," bomlurded the Longwood Ladies with the ii. lid of the American woman. To Mrs Friedan women today are taken as a joke. They are severely exploited .im\ made fun of. In order to improve tin situati n Mrs. Friedan advocates a revolution for the full humanity of the American woman. Mrs. Friedan blamei i v> i\thing in ■ tj t idtj i if tin woman'• lowly But, in t I all, ste blames
the facets of news media for this degradation. AccordingtoMrs. Friedan the TV has brainwashed the American woman into thinking that she is not human. Mrs. Friedan says that ever since the Industrial Revolution women have been left behind. Today, society is passing her by, while she passively sits in front of the "Boob Tube." "Get out of this rut! Women!" says Mrs. Friedan. She wants equality, full equality, with today's male. To create this "New Woman" she stresses the need for everyone to acquire a social conscience.

Rubley Highlights Of Soviet Tour; Posters, Pointed Shoes, Easter Eggs Mr. Earl Rubley, Associate Professor of History and Social Sciences, returned from a two week tour of the Soviet Union April 19. He brought with him a host of souvenirs ranging from Russian cigarettes to a huge commemorative poster of Lenin dated "1870-1970." (The Russians are preparing to celebrate the 100th birthday of national hero Lenin next year.) But perhaps the most interesting thing that he brought back with him was a first hand personal knowledge of life in the Soviet Union. "They were as inquisitive about us as we were about them. They'll stop you in the street and ask you why you're there.' Mr. Rubley says that Americans have no trouble being spotted on a Soviet street, if for no other reason than the fact that his clothes are different. Although it is true that the Russians have westernized to a degree, "Our clothes are made much better than theirs. They can look at your shoes and tell if you're American. They wear a cheap, pointedtoed, high-heeled shoe." Do the Russians talk politics to an American on the street? "If, by politics you mean government, yes, they do." Most Americans apparently feel that the Russian people are so restricted by the State that they do not lead normal lives. Some things wtiich happened, or rather did not happen to Mr. Rubley's touring party while in the Soviet Union might tend to destroy the American Image of the typical Russian city. Contrary to American belief, there are churches in Russia and they have not all been turned into museums. In fact, they have quite large attendance. On Easter Sunday the Russian Orthodox Chunh in Moscow had a congretion of "fifteen or twenty thousand people." "Theoretically, there is freedom of religion in the Soviet Union. But the Pioneers, the youth group of the Communist Party, do not attend church. The churches are filled with old people." Mr. Rubley found the definition of the communist to be another ml ception. In Russia, there is no such thing as a member of the Communist Party as designated by an official card. All Soviets are members of the Communist Party, just as all Americans are considered citizens until they ai 11 the contrary. While in Russia, he toured , Leningrad, Kiev, and Pushkin, a rural area, where he drove farm. Also included on the tour was a visit to Prague, Czechoslovakia. arrlvi dtnen m the midst government ten Ion as was being deasked how Pi I! with Moscow, Ml . 1 ' kad thai it was "111 (mm hi n :, " such wa th< differ-
ence. "Prague is a cosmopolitan city complete with night spots — the Soviet Union has nothing to compare with this." He also found many more smiling faces in Prague than he did in Moscow. Mr. Rubley found the Soviet customs officials to be stern and almost forbidding, yet not harsh. His baggage was never checked as he left Russia or Czechoslovakia. His first encounter with the Soviet Union came as he landed at the Leningrad airport where he and his party were taken to a small darkened customs clearance room. "There were certainly no smiling faces to greet us." The lack of hospitality was widespread throughout the tour. "Everybody seemed to be mad at everyone else." Mr. Rubley feels that this is due, in part to the fact that the Soviets are not accustomed to entertaining tourists. The hotels reflect this fact. "We stayed in the largest hotel in Russia, the Hotel Russia, which they say is also the world's largest hotel." He found that the service there was "very bad, not accommodating at all.' In the main dining room of the hotel, he was served on lightweight tin flatware which was mismatched and unpolished. He remarked that it reminded him of something out of an army mess kit. Part of the tour took him to various examples of Russian schools where he had the opportunity to view Russian education from first grade through the college level. They have ten grades of free education with the curriculum completely state-regulated. After public education, those students that the Party feels are qualified and hold the most promise are paid to go through six years of college training. "The College students can make a
lot more profit than a worker," Mr. Rubley discovered. He also found no evidence of dissent among the students. In fact, "all of the people over there seem to have a sense of direction." The fact that they are working for the good of the state apparently gives them sufficient motivation. "Technically, they can have private businesses, but they can't hire anybody to work in those private shops. This would be exploiting men, and 'exploitation' is a bad word om there." Russians are appalled by American education practices. "They just can't understand our educational system. They think that their standardized system is much better, and that some day we'll have to realize this." The poster of Lenin which Mr. Rubley purchased while there is like those found all over the cities of the Soviet Union. These large pictures are posted billboard fashion on the streets, and in the private homes, smaller portraits of the hero Lenin are found in the bedrooms and living rooms. Lenin's mausoleum, in central Red Square, has become a national shrine to the Soviets. The people can actually enter the tomb if they so desire, view Lenin's "body.' Mr. Rubley saw this spectacle while he was there. It appeared to him that the body, which is actually on view, has been re-made with wax for purposes of display. Among the souvenirs which Mr. Rubley brought back is an elaborately ornate Easter egg given to him by a young woman student. The egg was made by an ancient Ukranian process which involves painting one color at a time, covering all but the desired portion of the egg with a mating of wax to keep the colors from smearing. The egg was given to him in exchange for a Kennedy half dollar and a ball point I«n.

1969
By JANE MCCAFFREY Last weekend the Longwood College LacrosM Team opened its season with one win and one loss against Madison College. In the first game Longwood was defeated 23-2. Despite lack of practice and a shortage of players for two complete teams, the Blue and Whites came through against the more skilled Malison team to win 9-7 in tin second game. Suzanne Turner led the attack in the second game and was helped by Nedra Distel who sparked the defense with her determined efforts.
Friday night the Longwood ladies were the guests of Bridgewater College. In the game Saturday afternoon with Bridgewater it was evident that the experience gained from the Madison game was an asset. The first game ended in a 12-5 loss, but Longwood's offense and defense pulled together and worked more like a team. The second game gave Longwood another victory to even up its record for the weekend at 2-2. Barbara Snellings led all scorers for the weekend. Longwood did quite well considering that this is its second lacrosse season and most of the varsity players are just learning the new sport. Positions on the field have not been established so that many of Longwood's players were asked to fill in those spaces on the field where players were lacking. Those girls returning for their second year include Ginny Sire, Linda Atkinson, Mary Tolley, Jinx Washington, Marcia Tench, Barbara Snellings, Sherry Grigg, Jane Erdman, Susie Marsh, Linda Southworth, Sandi Naylor, Fran Anthony, Betty Ford, Barb Jenkins, and Peggy Schultz. New members on the team this year are Carolyn Thompson, Carolyn Latham, Jane McCaffrey, Judy Doty, Nedra Distel, and Suzanne Turner.

Banton Attends SACUS Convention In Florida Dr. Robert L. Banton, of the Education Department at Longwood College, recently attended a Southern Association on Childre-n Under Six (SACUS) convention in Jacksonville, Florida. There were 1,700 members present and 13 states represented. While there, Dr. Banton heard several speakers, including Dr. James Hines, University of Maryland; Dr. Keith Osburn, University of Georgia; and other named people in the early childhood development program. The four days were spent in meetings with people and in group discussions on early childhood development — teachings and practices. Dr. Banton said that he was able to visit three schools: a private day care center, a public day care center, and a private kindergarten. He was very impressed with the large display of childhood development material. Dr. Banton said the overall themes of the convention were: "Educators in elementary education, specifically early childhood education, would have to reach the parents in the community and enlist their support and sell them the idea of early childhood teaching to their children. "Also he said, "Wemust inform parents of modeling themselves, for their children often copy their parents' actions." Dr. Banton has slides and materials

Of all the colleges in Virginia, only three, Longwood, Mariisnn, and Virginia State College, were represented at this very important meeting. Longwood should be proud of the fact that the administration has a great concern about this program and saw fit to send a representative. This is a sign that Longwood wants to learn of new teaching methods and wants to progress with the times. On behalf of the student body, thank you, Dr. Banton, and the administration!
