Presidential Candidates Cite Interest, Experience
How can a girl not interested in an organization lead that organization or guide it to success? CANDEE D1CKENMAN Of course the answer is that she cannot. An officer of any organization must be interested and have had ample previous participation to prepare herself for the role of an officer. The candidate should have sufficient knowledge of how the organization has run in the past, and should have worked closely with the organization. The officer also must be able to give extensive time and often forego her own plans for the good of her organization. As a candidate for the office of president of the Y.W.C.A. 1 feel that I have the two most important qualities of an officer, interest and a knowledge of how the organization runs. I have been active in the "Y" since
my freshman year when I was on the Freshman Commission. This past year I was treasurer of the "Y" and learned a great deal of how a campus organization runs. I've worked closely with many of our programs and know what it is to give up time, and know the necessity of being able to work compatibly with people. I would very much like to be President of the Y.W.C.A. and if elected will continue to devote as much time and interest necessary to keep the "Y" a respected and worthwhile organization at Longwood. LESLIE NUTTALL A candidate should have a sincere interest in and knowledge of the activities of the YWCA. She should desire to promote these activities so that the YWCA is an essential and (Continued on Page 3)

The purpose of our Legislative Board is to oversee all phases of student life at Longwood. Its representatives formulate all regulations concerning student activities and discuss key problems involvingtheoverall welfare of the student body. Through nine appointed committees which function under the Legislative Board, it strives to generate awareness of campus activities, to utilize student opinion, and to act as a liaison among the students, faculty, and administration. The Legislative Board also has the power to interpret the constitution of our Student Government Association. In my opinion, the Legislative Board

of the students. The initiative recently taken by Longwood students has increased participation in the programs offered by the A.A., however, some students are discouraged from participating in the activities they enjoy because of the current system of selecting class teams. Ergo, I propose that for team sports, mass practices be scheduled for one week during which one must attend 3 out of the 5 practices to be eligible to participate. (This is the present stipulation). After the first week of practice, the eligible students sign up in teams according to their class - no combination of classes is permitted. If there is more than one team for a class, an elimination tournament will be conducted. On the contrary, the winners will not necessarily b> team. To determine the teams, varsity team members will rate each player according to bei (Continued on Page 3)
is designed to serve all students of varied backgrounds, beliefs, and ideas by giving them as much freedom of choice and individual responsibility as is possible in a campus situation. This includes consideration of the needs and wishes of the students as individuals and as a majority in trying to make regulations and act on them in such a way that the students as a unit will be served. In order to serve as the one organization which represents the entire student body in the best way possible, I would like to see the Board work on a change in our representative policy. I suggest that we have elected dormitory representatives rather than (or possibly along with) elected class representatives on each board of the student government. Since our school has grown to such a size that girls no longer live in a dorm made up of only their own class members (as the previous "Senior Dorm") but now live in a dorm consisting of members of all four classes, I think that a system of dormitory representatives on the boards would be a more effective means of government. Plus, I feel that having a representative in each dormitory would promote better and more personal relationships between members of the student body and the boards, thus enhancing the Longwood spirit. Also, I recommend an evaluation of tli>- functions and procedures of the nine committees under the Legislative Board. We need to recognize their contribution-- to the student body and to improve their purposes and activities. Another suggestion la that than regular sessions (possibly one two months) involving chairmen and vice-chairmen of majoi lion and set up similar to "press confer-

President Willett Urges Suggestions, Student Problems
Pass-Fail System In recent yeors colleges have .emphasized elective courses in the college curriculum Administrators deem electives as necessary for a student to obtain the fullest benefit from higher education. In line with this educational philosophy many colleges have initiated a pass-fail grading system This pass-fail grading is usually limited to elective courses taken by |uniors and seniors The student earns hours toward graduation requirements, but he does not receive quality points The pass-fail method expands the field of electives that a student would tend to take Students are more willing to sample courses entirely foreign to their major if they are assured that it will not lower their average For Longwood especially, the number of electives that students take would be broadened The pass-fail system is one thnt more progressive schools are adopting These schools are slowly advancing toward the ideal theory behind education, the theory that students learn for their own benefit The pass fail system is worth considering. Longwood could benefit from it — M K M
Dr. Willett has again urged that students submit any suggestions thay may have to him. He stressed the fact that the suggestions do not have to be signed, but if a student does sign his suggestion, Dr. Willett can go to the person for further information, can discuss the suggestion with the individual, and, therefore, will do a better job of correcting the situation. Again, however, the suggestion need not be siped. Dr. Willett will react to the suggestion whether it is signed or not. In submitting suggestions, be specific. A general statement about a grievance is difficult to act upon. If the student has a suggestion and she does not know who to submit it to, place it in the suggestion box. Anything that affects a particular department or person is referred to that person. Otherwise, the suggestions are handled directly by Dr. Willett. Dr. \Villett has been pleased with the quality of suggestions that have been turned in so far. He expressed the hope that students continue to use the suggestion box. He emphasized the fact that he cannot solve a problem until he knows that the problem exists.
Election Support Is Urged Ma|or elections will take place here at Longwood on Monday, November 6 Candidates from the Junior class are running for the presidencies of five leading campus organizations: Legislative Board, Judicial Board, House Association, Young Women's Christian Association, and the Athletic Association These girls are showing a sincere interest in their school and its government The five victors will commit themselves to a year of hard work and service; yet they are sure to find it rewarding. The student body in general is not asked to make such a commitment to show its interest in school government. All that is asked is that each student take a few minutes to vote Good leadership is the responsibility of the electorate And a good turnout of voters on November 6 is the best way the students of Longwood can express their gratitude to the candidates for their offering of service — MAM
Snoopy, Paulsen, Neuman Compete For U.S. Presidency By LIBBABALL In any election, the voters must be thoroughly acquainted with the candidates running (or each office. This week, we are introduced to those girls running for major campus positions. Early next week, America's voting populus will make a choice which may continue to downgrade or begin to upgrade present federal policies. The three major presidential candidates, Nixon, Wallace, and Humphrey, stand opposed by three lesser characters. These men are "well-read," "experienced," and make H.H.H.'shumor lack originality. Each man has a well-established reputation, worn with time and praise. Never have these men contributed to undemocratic behavior, participated in disorganized rioting, or spoken out against the American government. Never have time three balked increasing taxes or I v|>ivs.sed dissatisfaction over Supreme Court decisions. These three candidates have not condemned escalation in Vietnam. They are candidates of American spirit and inventiveness. As a matter of fact, then viewpoints have remained silenced throughout their extensive camptlgna. Candidate number one is Snoopy.

Candidate Number two is Pat Paulsen. Paulsen has appeared on national television throughout the year of his vigorous campaign. Shows subdued, but painful, expressive concern for fellow Americans. Pat has a record album out now - we hope it attempts to explain his stand on politics. All summer we've been listening for a clue . . . Late forties, slender man with highly aristocratic features.

Minimizes replies, use of vocal chords, lungs, teeth, tongue, and any other necessary speech organs. Citizens feel Paulsen should continue current federal policies. That bad, huh? Our third candidate, we've all read about. His posters and stickers were purchased in a summer issue of a popular, intellectually-oriented magazine. Yes! Our favorite Alfred E. Neuman is trying in this election, just as he did in I960 and 1964. Chronologically, Neuman should be twenty or so, but citizens see him as a clean-cut, all-American, teenage candidate with a missing front tooth.

Cahoots members rondurt a fruit sale to raise money for the prizes to be Riven Thursday in their Halloween Costume Contest.
Halloween Costume Contest, Freeze-In On Cahoots Spirit Promoting Agenda By PATTY KINGSLEY Everyone on campus has noticed the members of Cahoots, with their red and green banners, singing "Salvation Army," their theme song, but many students have asked, "What is Cahoots?" Cahoots is the formal name of a group of girls whose purpose is to promote spirit on the Longwood campus. Last year at the Senior Assembly, the members of Cahoots tapped members of the junior class to carry on with their many (?) activities during the year, 1968-69. Because no list was left of the new members, Cahoots had a meeting on October 20 to discover "who its members are." On October 22, Cahoots tapped two junior members, called Li'l Hoots, in the dining hall at dinner. They are Janice Hudgins and Mary Cam Butterworth. The organization lias planned many activities for the year under the leadership of Maywood Martin. While Maywood is student-teaching, Becky Barnard is the acting president. Cahoots is organizing their big event of the year for next Thursoctober 31. Tin is the Halloween nne contest, in which girl | us dress up in their most original
costumes. The judges for last year included Mr. Pennock, Alonzo Hicks, the head chef of Slater, and other dignitaries, but the judges for this year's contest have not yet been selected. There will be several prizes for the winners with the most original and colorful costumes. First prize is five dollars; second prize is a chauffered dinner for two at Dean's, and third prize is 50 coke bottles
to be deposited at Dean's. To finance these prizes, Cahoots held a fruit sale on October 24, which was a big success. Cahoots will soon have a freezein, which is a take-off on the Chi Burning. At the freeze-in. Cahoots will freeze several personalities on campus who may have done some Commendable (?) deed. Watch out for Caho-o-ots!

Alumnae Defeated By Hockey Team; Greens Win Rush A fast, hard fighting game was given Saturday afternoon, as a climax to the Midway. The Longwood alumnae team played the present second varsity team. Since some of the Alumnae team were old varsity players the going was a little rough. A lot of credit goes to the forward line for the 5-1 victory. The ball stayed at the alumnae goal a greater portion of the time, but the ex-Longwood Ladies put up a stunning defense although not quite up to the hard playing varsity offense. After the game the color rush winners racked up five points toward color cup for the Green and Whites. The Green and White winners were Anna Pettis, Margaret Harrison, Lynn Coleman, Sandi Naylor, and Janet Harpole, while the Red and White winners were Pat Brady, Betty King, Phyllis Carter, and Jane Crumley.

were not strong enough and Madison seemed to gain control of the ball and take it back down field. Madison was quite able to stop many of our clearing passes. The bulk of the second half was spent at our goals with Madison taking corner after corner. Some of the best saves were made by Kathy Hass, Betty King, Sandi Naylor, and Jane Richardson. At one time, Jane Tibbs had a bad fall on her way down the field with the ball. The last minute saves seemed crucial - though we did manage to carry the ball down to the goal more often. We had the ball the last two minutes, with the ending score 1-0, Longwood. The real action of the second game began by Madison taking a corner while goalie Jane MacCaffrey stopped the drive for the goal, though Madison gained control of the ball. In their second successive corner Madison's drive for the goal was successful, making the score 1-0 in Madison's favor. Ir. one of Madison's attempts down the field, special recognition is given to Ellen Dunn's extraordinary reverse stick stop! Again, Madison's forward line is giving Longwood backfield a lot of work, even Jane MacCaffrey had some knee bending practice for saves! After one of the long travels down the field by Madison, Jane was pulled out of the cage yet recovered beautifully to stop a drive for a score. Kathy Parker made several nice carries downfield and working with Jo Newberry made many attempts at a

By JUDI GITDICE Longwood dominated the play in the first half, but had trouble stopping the fast playing of Madison's forward line. Our only good clears were out to the wings. The fullbacks and halfs were kept busy. There were too many close calls. The forward line even played defensively in many plays. Anna Pettis made a nice carry of the ball for a rush for goal but their goalie was very aware and prevented it - though the play by Barbara Snellings, Beckv Bondurant and Anna Pettis to bring the ball down was beautiful and the reverse sticks was helpful ever so helpful. Betty King played well at center half. Many saves were accredited to her in the circle. At one time, Madison drew Leslie out of the cage and Jane Richardson made a beautiful clear of the ball going for a goal. Another close attempt for Madison scoring was beautifully blocked by Jane Erdman, right half, and carried down by Phyllis Carter, right wing. Longwood ran into trouble but recovered the ball, as Anna and Tibbs controlled the ball in the circle, Anna reversed her stick on the ball and scooped it in for a goal. After that, the game picked up more speed to the half. Second half: The beginning was fearfully started with Madison at our goal - saves were accredited to Kathy Hass and Betty King. At first our attempts at the goal

score, though unsuccessful. Kathy Long was successful in backing up Jane McCaffrey on one of Madison's drives for a goal, while Jane not ten seconds after clashed with the wall in saving another! The half ended 1-0 in favor of Madison. In the second half we seemed to have the ball a little more, continuing to push for a goal. Even the halfbacks tried. Some of the best backfield saves were made by Freda Lunsford. The many attempts for scoring by Debbie Ellenbrand, Janet Harpold and Betty Layne usually ended in a corner or free hit out. Chris McDonnell made a nice attempt for a goal. Though unsuccessful, it was a good play. With eight minutes to play, Sally Heilman scored, tying the game. Judy Turner and Freda Lunsford were successful in keeping the ball away from our goal for the last five minutes, and many thanks to Jane MacCaffrey's saves.
Leslie Nuttall YWCA Candidate (Continued from Page 1) useful part of campus life. The candidate should be able to plan and lead the activities which strengthen the spiritual life on campus as well as interest the students. For the past three years I have worked with the YWCA and desire to promote its purpose of finding a "full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God and unselfish service to others." As vice-president of the Wesley Foundation I have had experience in planning activities for and in leading a campus organization. Also I have formulated ideas for activities which will open the Y.W.C.A. more to the campus.
Allied Team Crushed By Netherlands Team By Skillful Playing The three members of the area Allied Team from Longwood Joined together with their teammates from Westhampton, William and Mary, and the Richmond Club against the Netherlands Team at William and Mary College in Williamsburg last Wednesday. Leslie Sedgwick, Anna Pettis, and Jane Tibbs along with the rest of the team did an excellent job, although the Dutch Team out-ranked them in : 1( in i an! player ability. Their ball control and stick work were brilliant. During the first half, the allied defense was a little confused but Leslie Sedgwick, as goalie, made many valuable saves. Later the defense gained • Bli n-ncy and allowed the .dQ«d iffM •, including Jane Tibbs and Anna Pettis, a chance at takin ball down jo tin- Uutch goal, even scored one of the allied . However, the older and more efficient team game 13-4 in their tavor, Conaidtrlni UM United Stat' ' .ted by the Ms, 4-0, UM allli played a stunning p
ability, team work, and sportsmanship. If there is no varsity team for a sport, the sportsmanship committee along with the respective sport's manager and umpires or officials of the sport will pick the class team. Color teams will be chosen in the same manner as the class teams — each player being judged as an individual. The point system for this proposal will remain the same as the present one: one point for participation, two points total for making the class team, and three points total for making the color team. I feel this proposal will motivate the students to participate more since the class teams will not be chosen by the eligible participants but chosen on a more objective basis. For individual sports such as tennis, archery, badminton, and golf, awards should be given at the end of the school year in recognition of the respective winners. To augment the presentation of individual awards each class team for such sports as hockey and basketball should choose a most valuable player and an award should be presented to that player at the same time the individual awards are presented. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that all the programs, equipment, and facilities are here for the students. Release tension, have some laughs, and meet the students through participating in the activities offered by the Athletic Association. SUZANNE TURNER The question of student participation is brought up every year. Naturally, it is of concern to any organization that the students take an active party in its functions. This is especially true for the Athletic Association. With such a varied program of sports and other activities, I feel there should be at least one area where a girl could feel needed and want to participate. Firstly, I would like to stress how important it is for girls to be on Committees. For example, the Publicity Committee and Social Committee play a very large part in the operation of the A.A. Girls who don't like intramurals or feel they just don't have the skill to play a team sport, can still actively take part by helping at teas and extending our friendship to other schools. In intramurals especially, many think that they can't play because they are unskilled or that "the same ones get chosen for the team." Naturally, with an attitude like that they won't make the team. Try coming out for a sport and really showing everyone what you can do with a hockey stick or how well you can dunk the ball!! Surprisingly enough, you might make the team! Since publicity plays such an important role, I would continue to employ methods used in the past to make all activities of the A.A. known to the student body. The Rotunda carries many articles telling of class, hockey developments or when Color games will be. The use of the A.A. bulletin board to tell of coming events is also good. Announcements in the dining hall, posters announcing the start of a new season, the A.A. Demonstrationall are excellent methods of getting to the student body. Much help is needed here and any girl could take an active part. The A.A. Field Day showed that competition can be fun!! If a girl simply does not want to play a sport or do anything, there is no earthly way you can make art appeal urging her to participate. She never will participate. HOWEVER, to the shy, reluctant ones that do want to play but are afraid they aren't good enough, I would say - Come on in, the water's fine! You can lose weight, have fun, earn points, meet people - but most of all you will be showing the spirit of competition and the enthusiasm for YOUR A.A. which make Longwood College what it is.

concerning these rules. However, I feel that it is also the duty of House Association to establish favorable study conditions on campus especially in the dormitory.

ANNE CREEKMOKE Each student who enters Longwood is assumed to be a woman of high ideals and character. She assumes this high honor throughout her four years unless she proves herself otherwise. When considering a case only the information pertinent to that case should be brought out. The student should be on trial only for her present behavior. Her past should not enter into the case unless it is felt that it is absolutely essential. It may be necessary when consid-
House Association Reminds Students Of Special Rules House Association would like to remind the students of the following regulations: Chief Smith has asked that all Longwood students cooperate in enforcing the use of the crosswalks in Farmville.

Leaflets will be distributed and Farmville hopes to continue its observance of no pedestrian accidents.

ering certain cases however to have character witnesses This would depend on the kind of trial, the person involved and other circumstances that would be considered essential to the case. At Longwood our Honor Code sei as a means of democratic government. We make our own rules and are tried by a jury made up of our peers. Upholding the standards of honor at Longwood is one of the most important aspects of college life. It is the Judicial Board's duty to instill in the minds of all students the meaning of our Honor Code. CHRIS MCDONNELL
Having previously served unjudicial Board, I have become more fully aware of the worth of the individual. I have put myself in the position of a girl brought before the board, and have learned the value of recognizing each girl for herself, regardless of existing or nonexisting personal relations. As a student represents herself before the board, she is to be judged unbiasedly, unrestrained from personal obligations or social contact with a member of the board, and free from previously formed detrimental opinion or rumors. In determining cases, I feel that Judicial Board should not make special allowances to a student regardh I her character, citizenship record, or family situation, simply because in spite of who she is, the often I b In committed is the fault of the individual, for which only she is responsible. Being in college, a student is assumed to be mature enough to accept responsibility and thereby pay the consequence of its abuse. In regard to a girl's character, in deciding cases, I feel that character is the most prized possession a person can deem as her own. In such a sense it 11 that intangible quality which
should mould an individual's life in such a way as to consider herself before she acts or commits a violation, which is an obvious reflect Ion of lack of respect for oneself. Character is seldom in question in Judicial Board cases, with the exception of unlady-like conduct in which case it is highly important. If the board feels that character is not in question, just consideration is given to each girl in spite of her character being above or below reproach, because after all, she was in the wrong. Although there are some cases in which a family situation, a girl's status on campus, or her character are very personal matters which are left to the discretion of the administration, I feel that ttiey are not valid pleas for one's case because in spite of these the offense was committed. After all, if a girl's character is so above reproach, in my estimation the crime would not have been committed in the first place, and why should character among other virtues be a justification of one's plea after the crime was committed if it was not considered beforehand? CAROLYN CUMMINS In the American system of justice each individual case is considered on its own merits. The circumstances surrounding the case are thoroughly investigated. Each individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. If found guilty, sometimes evidence is uncovered that enables our courts to better understand the actions of the accused. The sentences are given according to these circumstances. First offenses are not judged as harshly as latter ones. The "book" is not usually "thrown at" someone until she becomes a chronic lawbreaker. I can conceive of no reason why these same procedures can not be adopted by Judicial Board.
