Winners Of Major Offices Announced; Tie Occurs In Athletic Assoc. Contest
Suzanne Turner President. Athletic Association.
By MAHY ALICE CARMODY The November 6 general elections determined the presidents of the Legislative Board, Judicial Board, House, and Y.W.C.A. A tie occurred for A.A. president between Jo Newberry and Suzanne Turner. Another vote was taken on Thursday to determine the outcome of this. A total of 858 students, the largest number within the last two years, voted on Wednesday, and about 400 voted on Thursday. Janice Austin, a music major from Portsmouth, was elected president of the Legislative Board Janice has been red and white spirit leader, corresponding secretary of Sigma Kappa, Geist Chairman, member of Sigma Alpha Iota music fraternity, on elections committee, song chairman for the red and white skit, and treasurer of Legislative Board this past year. Phyllis Carter, now president of House Association, is a junior physical education major from Alexandria. She is now Treasurer of House, is a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, and is
playing her second year of varsity hockey. Phyllis says she is looking forward to working with the student body and that her two main objectives are to reorganize House Council and reevaluate the Handbook. The newly elected Y.W.C.A. president Candee Dickenman is an English major from Unionville, Connecticut. She is a member of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority and in the H20 Club. Candee would like to see more communication between the Y.W.C.A. and the student body. The A.A. presidency goes to Suzanne Turner, a chemistry major from Charlottes ville. Suzanne is captain of the varsity swim team, has played class and color hockey, is presently secretary of A.A., president of Alpha Gamma Delta, and a member of German Club. She hopes to keep up the activities the A.A. has started in the past, especially stressing participation by all students, not just the physical education majors. (Continued on Page 3)

LC Alumna, Faculty Member Exhibits Artwork In Library The thirty-seven works in the oneman show by Barbara L. Bishop currently on campus exhibited in the gallery of the Lancaster Library until November 29, emphasize the artist's conception of the similarity between change in nature and in man. Recently, the Longwood alumna defined this similarity saying that, 'the processes of nature and individual mental processes are similar or comparable in that birth, growth, maturation, decay, death and rebirth exist in both realms." It is this idea of perpetual evolution that has governed not only the drawings, paintings, and prints on exhibit, but also her works over the past few years which are included in private art collections in ten states. Although her works are in varied media, she feels that professionally, she is best known as a print maker. Here she finds that she is most comfortable in her artistic contrast of man and nature. This is evidenced by the fact that many of the works on exhibit are done in intaglio, a technical term for etching. The process involves the transfer of an engraved image from a metal plate to paper, through use of a roller press and special ink. The results can be seen in the
Students recently elected to major offices are: deft to riithtl Janice Austin, president of Legislative Board: Candee Dickenman. president of the YWCA;

Senior Slave Sale Nets 59% Profits; High Bid, $6.00
Longwood Needs You Longwood has already begun the tremendous task of selecting the class of 1973.A recruitment drive is on, both within Virginia and outside the state, for a greater number of applicants will mean an intelligent, sophistocated, and cosmopolitan class. But the administration is limited in its recruitment facilities The students themselves are the best advertisers of the school. It is they who can best persuade the high school seniors that Longwood is worth looking into. Some positive recommendations toward this end have been offered by Mr T C Dalton, Director of Special Services 1 Girls graduating in June in Secondary Education can help by looking for outstanding recruits for Longwood in schools they are teaching in 2 When at home on weekends or holidays, talk to girls who you think would make good Longwood College Ladies 3 During Christmas holidays visit your high schools and talk to girls who are interested in attending Longwood College High school seniors can apply to Longwood as lote as February 1 of their senior year 4 If you have room for them, you might want to invite prospective students to Lonqwood for a weekend It is not difficult to see how action upon these suggestions can be extremely beneficial to the school A little enthusiasm from the current student body can go a long way toward building interest within future students If everyone does her share, we can all take a great personal pride in the class of 1973 — MAM
Do you need your skirts hemmed, have you felt the urge to have breakfast served to you in bed, wouldn't you love to eat Banana Splits at Roses? If you have wanted any of these things done for you then you have missed your big chance, for on Wednesday November 6, 1968, the Senior Class sponsored in the senior dining hall a senior slave trading session. Those seniors who sacrificed themselves agreed, to clean rooms, paint portraits, treat at the Red Fox, sponsor picnics and to do many other such menial tasks for their lucky owner. The attending auctioneer having to sell about 20 seniors announced what each girl had to offer and then started the bidding at 450 to $1.00 depending on the slaves valuability to those in the audience. The students were able to bid on girls who sold as singles, doubles, triples and in groups of six.
Community Closet Mothers cry about the horrible living conditions that are forced upon their douqhters as one floater grudgingly moves from one 1 of campus to the other The student teachers lovingly return to their home away from home They come laden with trunks, hair dryers, professional files, record players, radios, and all sweaters, dresses, and shoes they have hoarded over the past ten years to add to the collection already accumulated by their five roommates in their 5x8 community closet Living conditions are crowded. Presently there is nothing that can be done to improve the situation STUDENTS BEFORE US HAVE MANAGED TO OVERCOME THIS INCONVENIENCE Students after us will have to cope with the same problem. Floaters will be moved in with seniors As mature individuals let us strive to make living arrangements as pleasant as possible for ourselves and the floaters by making an effort to overlook the inconveniences as much as possible. Hopefully, with the rise of new dormitories, conditions will improve m the future Until then we ore forced to shift with what we have — M. K. M i

Letters To The Editor I itement From President Henry I. Will.-ft, Jr., to Longwood Students Expressing Appreciation For Their Assistance in Behalf of Bond Referendum
To THE ROTUNDA: The 1968 election returns have created an extremely interesting national political situation and some very complex problems for President-elect Richard Nixon. The College Republican Club has asked Delegate "Pete" Giesen to analyze these results. He will speak this Thursday evening, November 14, in the ABC Room of Lankford Building at 6:45. Mr. Giesen was the 7th District Republican Congressional candidate in this past election. He has served three terms in the Virginia House of Delegates as the representative of the Tenth legislative district. His voting record is symbolic of the new wave of American statesmen who believe that there can be no substitute for the fundamental principle of freedom of the individual. The YR's are proud to have him as our guest and we would like to invite the entire campus to our meeting this Thursday in the ABC Room at 6:45. Carolyn Cummins Wheeler 215

How woi I supposed to know I'd need my winter clothes so soon?
The event received a very favorable turnout and bidding was comparatively high. The highest bid went to Jane Tibbs and Cathy Hass who agreed to do anything within reason. They sold as a pair for $6.00. It was certainly an enthusiastic crowd, and the seniors for their efforts received approximately 59% in profits.

Longwood Hockey Team Crushes VCU, 2-0, 6-0 Although it was as cold as it was on October 30, the Longwood hockey team put their best foot forward again to maintain their undefeated record by beating Virginia Commonwealth University 2-0. As the game began, there was an even domination of the ball, causing our speedy wings Anna Pettis and Phyllis Carter to exercise their legs quite a bit. Our efforts for a quick goal by our aggressive forward line were in vain-VCU had an aware, quick defense. But we didn't give in; Jane Tibbs will vouch for both teams' determination. She has a nicely bruised ankle to show! Within the last five minutes of the first half, Anna evaded her defense the length of the field. At the striking circle she drove the ball across the goal area where inner Becky Bondurant picked it up and scored. The half ended with Longwood ahead 1-0. The second half began much as the first, though the team swears there was an invisible wall covering VCU's goal cage. Attempted goal after attempted goal only ended up in a tiring run to the other end of the field! But we also have a wall — her name is Leslie Sedgwick - goalie. Her many saves were nicely followed up by the beautiful clears of fullbacks Cathy Mass and Freda Lunsford. And did you know Freda talks to herself while playing - out loud even?! Like the first half, in the last minutes of the game, a spurt of energy came from the halfbacks and was passed to the forward line with ball, and Jane Tibbs
goes in for a score. The game ended as such; cold, hard, and Longwood winning 2-0. Longwood Team II put on a one sided show against VCU Team II by defeating them 6-0. In the beginning of the game, VCU's domination to the ball and many goals attempts were thwarted by our fullbacks Kathy Long and Fran Anthony. The halfbacks, accordingly, followed up the play handing the ball over to our forward line. Inner Kathy Parker took full advantage of this situation immediately and scored the first goal. While VCU attempted to make a comeback at our goal cage, the neighbor dogs made an appearance to add confusion or take the audience's attention. In the meantime, we gained possession of the ball so Chris McDonnell could score Longwood's second goal. Beginning the second half with Longwood leading 2-0, four attempted goals by Longwood were made in vain until the fifth was successful - thanks to center forward Sally Heilman. Two minutes later, Chris McDonnell scores her second goal. The action increased as Jo Newberry carried the ball from centerfield and in for a goal. But the game wasn't over - Janet Harpole had to put on a show too — and she did as she also stole the ball and scored ending the game happily by a score of 6-0 in favor of Longwood. One bad point though, Jane McCaffrey, goalie, complained of lack of action at her end - but that's fine with us!

The second team had an easier time outplaying the Westhampton II team, 3-0. The first game consisted of our defense and the Westhampton defense shuttling the ball, then Anna Pettis with exceptional stickwork set up Jane Tibbs to score the first goal of the game. Then Westhampton scored a goal, tieing the game 1-1 at the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half Longwood was close to a second score

There were three tries for a goal in the last five minutes then Betty King, halfback, scored her second goal of the season, making L.C. victorious with a 2-1 score. The second game began with Jo Newberry taking the ball to the striking circle and Betty Lane pushing it in for a goal. The next score was made by Sally Heilman. The remainder of the second half consisted of unsuccessful attempts at the Westhampton goal while half-backs Sue Stulty, Maxine Stone, Judy Turner, and full-backs Fran Anthony and Kathy Long kept the ball safe distance from our own striking circle. The half ended as Westhampton made a beautiful goal after the whistle, so the score remained L.C. 2, Westhampton 0. In the second half Westhampton began domination play, until Debbie Ellenbrand returned the ball to our end of the field, then we regained play. A Westhampton attempt was thwarted by the fullbacks who passed the ball to wing, Jo Newberry and Chris McDonnell scored ending the game with a score of 3-0.

It seems the intramurals are at it again! Every time a new piece of athletic equipment is added to Lungwood, the energetic students begin to test their skills in intramural competition. At least in the case of our new billiards tables in Lankford it is true. Twenty hustlers have signed up to outshoot each other, with the preliminary games being played from November 4 on to the finalist match which is scheduled for December 18. Shoulder sticks! Ready! Shoot! Along with the skillful pool sharks, forty-eight girls have enlisted their talents in intramural ping-pong. These girls are divided into three groups with matches starting November 11. Each group will play until the number one girl has been established in each group. Then they will battle among themselves for the number 1, 2, and 3 positions. All this only goes to show that playing intramural sports doesn't liave to lead to a sprained ankle or broken finger.
Rubley Clinches First Place, Pool Tournament Earl Rubley cinched first place Saturday afternoon in Round One of the 1968-69 Faculty-Student Pool Tournament - after 3 1/2 hours of tournament play and sinking a shot that gave him virtually a straight-in position on the eight ball. Mr. Rubley, an associate professor in the Department of History and Social Sciences, then turned to congratulate his opponent - an apparently tired but happy Miss Jo Holt, Assistant Dean of Students and runner-up in the contest. For winning first and second place in the first round of the Lankford Building tournament, Mr. Rubley and Dean Holt were presented large, attractively hand-lettered certificates of award, complete with the Longwood seal and signatures of congratulations from all who participated Free refreshments were provided for competitors, courtesy of A.R.A. Slater. Among those participating in the contest were Stuart Windle, Barbara Roukema, Judy Turner, Twiggy Edwards, Lynn Coleman, Jettie Paschall, Dr. Mary Heintz, Dr. Shirley O'Neil, Marshall Hall and Leon Henderson. The pool tournament began at 2 p.m., Saturday, with the arrival of a mystery "hustler," who was to pit his skills against Dean Ruth B. Wilson, in an exhibition match that would kick off the tournament. But Dean Wilson was busy pitting her skills against a mystery virus, and the mystery player faced Dean Holt, who had agreed to stand in for the Dean of Students. The mystery "hustler" was Dr. Herbert R. Blackwell, Dean of the College. Dr. Blackwell will compete in a later round of the year-long tournament.
