McMTNNVILLE, ORE. -(I.P.)-Falling grades need no longer appear on a student's transcript at Linfield College. The faculty has passed a measure to make a student's transcript a record of satisfactory completion of requirements. The student now has the option of dropping a course at any time, even within CO days after a final examination, and having the record of his enrollment removed from his transcript at his request. The innovation is one which has also been adopted recently at Brown University. The philosophy behind this move is that a record of failure often precludes another chance in education or lessons acceptability in graduate school or employment. Linfield will require a 2.0 average for graduation and that a student be suspended for failure to complete fewer than five courses by the end of the first year, 10 courses by the end of the second year, 15 courses by the end of the third year, and 20 coursi the end of the fourth year. This would allow a student to complete his academic work in nine semesters, rather than eight, with no academic penalty. The number of courses required above applies after the fall of 1970 when Linfield goes on the three courses per semester system.

An Asinine System Relevancy, the word for today Now the academic year is coming to a close, the question of relevancy in regard to final exams is heard again Students as they sit in desks faced with pages and pages of "picky questions, broad topics, and unrelated material can ask themselves as before, are final exams pertinent, are they practical, do they really prove anything at alP Here at Longwood it seems that teachers are required to administer a final exam A final that exhausts not only the student but the teacher in tryinq to pick material that will be easy to grade As a result, exams are often multiple choice which are intended to adequately cover oil the student should have learned in the course Facing these, supposedly pithy questions, the s tudent can happily recall that this is V2 of her total grade Often if she fails the teacher's brainstorm, she foils the course The final exam situation then as it stands now, tests not the student's capabilities for retaining material, only her intelectual aptitude for survival.

From The Board
Starving Children In N.C. Exist On Grease And Rice By USE WORTHINGTON "Shy in this age of affluence for the masses and proliferating welfare programs for the poor, does hunger and malnutrition cling to North Carolina like a hookworm to its victim?" Mr. Dwayne E. Walls, from Morganton, North Carolina, and a group of reporters, all sponsored by the "Charlotte Observer," set out to find out about true poverty in North Carolina. The results were appalling. It was discovered that by government standards, a million out of North Carolina's five million people live in poverty. A poverty that consists of living in shacks, dieting on rice and sardine grease, wearing inadequate clothing, fighting diseases, and fighting to live. About half of these poverty cases in different areas of North Carolina are either too young or too old, too crippled or too iporant to lift themselves out of the medieval misery that they are trying to exist in. The poverty pockets, interestingly enough, are not predominantly black. In fact, two out of every three poor rural families in North Carolina are white ... not black. These poor whites are living in poverty unconceivable by the average American. Children for example, are starving, not from lack of food, but from an insufficient diet. Because of the nutrition problems diseases and infections are widespread. Worms, hookworm, roundworm, and pinworms are common diseases which begin when
>tai ....,,i during h..|idm- and c\..min«ll.in.
In Avery County for example, pulling a tooth consists of inserting pliars or a scissor blade as a lever between the tooth and the gum. Broken bones are left unset to mend and deform the child for life. Cuts and infections are treated with turpentine and chimney soot. And yet, even with this type of poverty evidence, Dr. Walls made the point that regardless of how poor people are, it seems that they don't want to do anything about it. They themselves don't really realize how degrading their total existence is. The hope to improve their condition has been drained out of them by years of steady migration, failure, and a mountain soil that refuses to produce. These poor individuals are unskilled, untrained, and unfit for the outside world. Against this apathy and depression the poverty workers must fight to raise the living standards in the rural areas of North Carolina. Government funds are needed. Programs like Head Start, Peace Corps, and Social Welfare need to be increased. Qualified people need to be hired, and governmental funds need to be appropriated. North Carolina must pull together all her resources, health, welfare, agriculture, education and others, to fight the overwhelming problems of poverty in the stricken areas.
'Can-In9 April 25, the "Can-In" will involve picking up beer cans along the road and thereby helping to remove solid waste. The project is in connection with the Environmental Action program on campus this week. Anyone who would like to help with the "Can-In" is welcome and should contact Linda Holt in Cox 126.
Many Student Government Committees have scheduled times for their various meetings. The By-Laws Committee will meet next Wednesday, April 25, to begin work on the by-laws of the Student Government Association. Also oo the same day, the Lankford Student Union will hold an open conference to discuss the possibility of making the Student Union a major organization. The committee, "Crises in our Environment," had various times scheduled for their program which covers a three-day span. On Monday, April 20, at 5:00, there was a panel discussion on "Birth Control and Contraceptives." Tuesday, April 21, there was a speaker on "Water Pollution in Virginia." Wednesday, April 22, a speaker will be discussing "Will Man Yield to his Environment?" This Ecology Teach-In will be concluded Wednesday, April 22, with a speaker who will discuss, "People Left Behind." Checking attandance at required assemblies has been changed. Hall presidents will now be stationed in the lobby of Jarman and each Freshman is responsible for telling her own Hall President that she is present. Several students have been asked to serve on various committees. They are as follows: 1) Car Committee Ann Heeley, Cheryl Draper, Sharon Smith, Louise Bailey, Ellen Cahill and Jody Mace; 2) Library Committee Susie Lynch, Rita Cox; 3) Scholarship and Financial Assistance - Beverly Aston and Andee Maddox; 4) Sponsor Board - Kay Powell, Frankie Brown, and Gail Waldron. Linda Ellingwood will be assistant editor of "The Virginian," and Trudi Chowns will serve as typist of the Summer School Handbook. The Student Government had a meeting and decided it was in best interests to dissolve their membership from the Virginia Association of Student Government (VASG). This decision was concluded by the fact that VASG no longer fulfilled the obligations, responsibilities or standards deemed fitting by Longwood representatives.

The Editor Dear Editor, We would like to commend the Newman Club for bringing to the Longwood campus such a fresh and entertaining group on Friday night, April 17. The occasion gave the students an opportunity to view and talk with some Catholic seminarians, a chance which many students never have had or will have again. Perhaps it cleared up some of the misgivings which many of us have about those men who study to become priests and brothers in the Catholic Church. By the look of the audience of girls who crowded in to hear and to see "The Brothers Forty," we believe that the entire evening was quite a success. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and hope that this group of men, and others like them, will again be invited to entertain such an enthusiastic audience of Longwood students.

An official announcement placed in the Rotunda, a proper channel, is better than rampant rumors. In the March 11 issue, a letter to Legislative Board appeared with proposed changes. There was •a reply printed listing the changes that had already been made. It was also stated that one should "check with the proper channels to see if the information submitted" was already evaluated. How does one go about finding out if the information was already submitted? Not all of us have the time to go through the proper channels or even know which proper channel to go through to find out about a rule change. Should not the Rotunda be able to print new rule changes, or do we have to wait until someone officially ask a question before we receive the riqht to print an answer' The Rotunda, going on the assumption that one of the values of a college newspaper is to print proposed rule changes and new happenings, asked if we could print the rule changes made in the Student Handbook for the Fall session It seems that if people asked about a particular rule change in the Handbook, they could be told whether it was changed or not, but the rule changes could not be officiolly announced The reason given was that there would be too many students brouqht before Judicial Board for infraction of the fall 1970 rules. The students would be under the assumption that the rule changes were for this session Are not the students at Longwood old enough to comprehend what they read? If we supposethat the students cannot comprehend written material, then what makes anyone think that they will comprehend page 81 of the 1969-70 Handbook which reads, "A PLEA OF IGNORANCE WILL NOT EXCUSE A STUDENT'S FAILURE TO KEEP THE STANDARDS SET BY THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION " The Rotunda believes that the student body can "read" and that they should not be left in the dark (or with a 15-watt bulb). Perhaps the ones who do plead ignorance because they cannot "read", do not really want to "read". MAC. iL?m2»gTn:.flc«iu»»*»j«MTl ISBMSMSMMMZ

Should we be concerned about the environmental crisis? If we expect to continue living in our environment, then we had better start listening to some of the experts. The following facts have their original sources listed with them so that they may be referred to for further information. 1. Children in Chicago are kept indoors during recess on heavy smog days. (Chicago Tribune, 1/16/70). 2. In New York a person on the streets takes into his lungs the equivalent in toxic materials of 38 cigarettes a day.

the City's public schools forbid children to exercise lest they breathe too deeply. (TIME, Feb. 3, 1970). 4. More than 15 million fish were killed last year (1968) by municipal and industrial wastes in America's rivers, lakes, and streams. (N. Y. TIMES, Oct. 20, 1969, Editorial Page). 4."Each year the U. S. alone paves over 1,000,000 acres of oxygen producing trees." (TIME, Feb. 2,1970). 6. A 6-year-old boy in Hugo, Oklahoma was killed by a sonic boom. It was ascertained by the Citizen's League Against the Sonic Boom that fright induced panic and vomiting and asphyxiation. (DALLAS TIMES HERALD, 8/24/67). 7.

Field Day Activities Held 71,73 Take Song Contest The Athletic Association held its annual Field Day, Tuesday, April 14, 3-6 p.m. on Stubb's Mall. Although a threat of rain may have dampened the ground, it did not dampen the spirits of the students assembled for the events. There were approximately 200 Red and Whites and Green and Whites waiting for the chance to compete for the events. Carol Chory, Chairman of Field Day coordinated the activities such as the three legged race, the balloon race, the potato sack race, the shoe relay, the obstacle course, the football game, and the annual tug of war. The greens carried the potato sack race, the balloon race, the shoe relay, and the obstacle course. The Reds took first place in the three legged race. The football game was called on the account of rain.
Enviromental Crisis
As usual the tug of war ended with both Reds and Greens biting the dust as the rope broke. The main event, the greased pig race, was called to a halt as the pig continued to escape even before anyone had a chance to catch him to grease him. The obstacle course proved to be the funniest event of the day with contestants leaping hurdles, scurring under bamboo poles, carrying hard boiled eggs around in spoons, pushing oranges along the ground with their heads, and gobbling up cream puffs.

That evening the classes assembled in Jarman, to vie for the first place in Song Contest. The Juniors and the Freshmen tied for first place and each received five points toward the class cup.

Longwood Coach, Miss Fath, commended on the games, "I'm pleased with the way both teams played." She said, "The junior varsity did a nice job and since most of the girls have never played lacrosse, the experience will prove helpful in future games." On Wednesday, both teams will travel to William and Mary for their next game. The teams will play again at home Saturday, April 25, against Bridgewater College at 1 o'clock on Barlow Field. Althoueh Longwood has never played William and Mary in Lacrosse, the team is looking forward to the challenge
they offer. Last year, Longwood was defeated by Bridgewater in a close scoring game, so all the veteran players are anticipating another chance at victory.

Academic And Social Matters Taken To Proper Channels At Press Conference By ETHEL REITER Never before have American college students been as politically active as they are now. From the civil rights demonstrations of the early sixties, students have turned to protest both the war in Vietnam and the policies of their own schools. This revolutionary spirit has spread to all campuses in one form or another. While not necessarily outspoken on vital national issues, some students show concern for local and personal problems. On April 16, at 7:00 p.m., students and administration discussed such recent areas of concern as preregistration, alcohol on campus, and general academic matters. Themeless, the Press Conference was devoted to covering various details. In the academic area, President Willett first Informed students that he had just signed an application which would call for a department concentrating in the field of social welfare. Specialists in social work would come to Longwood as part of this program. The college is also reproducing a program in library science. There have been several questions about the depletion of faculty members from the registration forms. President Willett pointed out that this is one of the faults of preregistration, and he emphasized the fact that it is impossible to know at this time who will be teaching what. Several new professors have been recruited, and the contracts are not yet final. In the area of rooming, Dean Holt said that accommodations can be made for tripling or a five-girl suite. The opening of Frazier is to avoid this situation, but if completely voluntary, girls can talk to Dean Holt about this. The present inability to cash checks on campus exists because the college is in the process of negotiating a new contract for the book store. One provision in the contract is an obligation to cash checks. The book store will not be college operated, and at this time everything is pending the new management. There have been complaints about the lack of change on campus, and some students have suggested a change machine. This, how-

Magnusson is former president of the Longwood Chapter of Virginia Education Association. He has served also as president and treasurer Magnusson has been Longwood's registrar for four years. Magnusson will be succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Gilcrist, Jr. Lt. Col. Gilchrist is a 43-yearold native of Richmond. He has been associate professor and assistant registrar since February 1. Lt. Col. Gilchrist came to Longwood after his 26year career in the U. S. Army. Gilchrist is a former student of Virginia Military Institute. He was graduated from the University of Maryland in 1957, and received his master's degree in business administration from Syracuse University. He was graduated from the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He has served as finance officer of the 82nd Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg, N. C, finance officer for 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam; division finance officer of 5th Mechanized Division at Fort Carson, Colorado, and deputy controller, Allied Land and Forces Southeast in Turkey. GilchrM in !»..[> cited lor "exceptionally meritorious service." He is the possessor of the Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Joint Services Commendation, World War II, Victory and Parachutist Badge. It has been stated of Gilchrist, "His broad background enabled Lt. Col. Gilchrist to apply the principles, methods and systems of finance in an exemplary manner and won him the respect and admiration of all with whom he came in contact."

ever, would cost close to six hundred dollars. Next fall when the Rotunda is complete, the information office will provide change. Another financial matter was that of tuition Increase. Last month President Willett had said that the only increase would be a sixty dollar rise in tuition, but it will be necessary to increase the dining hall expenses. It is not an overwhelming increase, being less than 10 per cent. The extra money will help alleviate many of the problems in the dining hall. Attention was again given the alcohol issue. President Willett said that it is necessary to approach this matter from a legal standpoint. Since the legalities and technicalities are unknown at this time steps must be taken to find these out before approaching the Board of Visitors. Immediately following the Press Conference, Student Government held an open meeting. Under old business, students were again reminded of the Dabney Lancaster Scholarship. This is an award of two hundred dollars granted to a student who has been enrolled at Longwood for one year, has a 2.0 cumulative average, is in need of this money, and who shows promise of being a worthy example of educated womanhood. Election of summer school officers will be held the evening of April 23. Students who wish to run for an office must have a 2.2 cumulative and be attending both sessions. Casey Wilkes then discussed consti-
tutional changes. The Chairman of Orientation shall be a separate office. This job was previously the responsibility of the vice-chairman of Student Government. The statement, "There shall be no voting by proxy," was placed under the Elections Committee Policies, and it should be under Legislative, Residence, and Judicial Board Policies. The meeting then moved on to committee reports. The Dining Hall Committee reported on the experiments going on in the dining hall. There is now hot breakfast on Sunday, and continental breakfast on week days from 7:40 to 8:45. For the next few weekends buffet meals will be served on a trial basis. Next year the third balcony will seat the seniors and the downstairs dining hall will be for the fresh men. The dinner hour will be at 6: since classes will last until 6:05. The plans for air-conditioning and carpeting have been postponed due to a lack of money. Residence Board reported that there are now very few crimes that merit call downs. For the most part, only a violation of the dress code will result in a call down. Next year there will be no room check, eliminating call downs in this area also. The purpose of this meeting was to make students aware of student government procedures and to give then an opportunity to ask questions and discuss personal opinions.

Tuition increases were necessary tc provide those services for which the General Assembly could not provide fandl. Although an $85 increase was authorized in tuition, Longwood reduced this increase to $60 for Virginia students through certain economies and delaying certain projects for future years. Tuition for out-of-state residents was increased $110 to a total of $750. increases of $100 in room charges were necessary to provide funds for a new 400-student dormitory which will be available for occupancy in September, 1970. The costofdormitories is paid entirely from student fees and high interest rates require the cost of a new building tobechareed

sold to build a Student Activities Building in 1965. The state of Virginia has been paying this charge, but did not provide funds for 1970-71 since other colleges and universities are not receiving funds for student activities buildings from state revenues. Longwood College feels that the $215 tuition and fee increase could not have been avoided or delayed to continue giving the students the quality of education they expect from Longwood. Longwood remains among the lowest two or three state colleges and universities in the total charges to students. Although the cost for next year has increased, the fees for summer school will remain as published in the summer school booklet. Students may ask where their money goes and how it Is spent. The budget for the 1970-71 term will be used in the following manner: Faculty salaries will be paid to a comparable level with peer Institutions in the state. Thirteen new faculty positions will be provided. Coupled with staff members teaching classes this maintains our faculty-student ratio at 15 to 1. Scholarship aid is doubled. Central switchboards and operators will be provided. New positions will be filled, including a Director of Development, a full term financial aid officer, professional librarians, a secretary for the Physical Education department, and 16 new maintenance and custodial workers. The budget will also provide for staffing and funding of the Campus School, a full-time doctor, a parttime psychiatrist, and substantial increases in money for library books. There will be modest increases in equipment and supply money for the academic departments. The capital outlay includes television for the Campus School, money for the Service Building, an addition to the Fine Arts complex, a roof on the Hlner Building, and planning money for the Physical Education building. Capital outlay totals$813,720 with planning money amounting to $38,000. General Fund appropriations for 1968-70 were $765 per student with a total for the biennium of $3,260,230. For 1970-72 the General Fund appropropriation per student will amount to $864. The total for the biennium will be $4,405,180.
w ANN ANTHONY In his gripping novel, "Steppenwolf," Herman Hesse has exemplified his brilliance as a writer in the existential tradition by evoking the moving story of a discontented, lonely, and weary middle-aged individual in modern German society. Harry Haller is portrayed as the thoughtful "SteppenwolP' who has strayed into "the towns and the life of the herd" of postwar Germany and found the aims and pleasures there so distasteful that death becomes his only hope of relief. Despite the intense aversion Haller often displays toward the cleanliness and comfortableness of bourgeois life, he reveals a deep-seated yearning for a simple, contented existence by renting a room from a middle-class old lady. The Steppenwolf feels doomed to continue his life as a recluse in his new surroundings. Anephewofthelandlady observes Haller as he occupies his time with intellectual pursuits and with planning his ultimate suicide to be carried out at the age of fifty. It is this nephew's recollections of the Steppenwolf that comprise the preface to the story. FoUowing this is a manuscript left by Haller in which he attempts to express the deeply lived spiritual events in his life. His documents include conversations with the g,.eat geniuses, Mozart ^ Goethe, but the major portion is By

devoted to recording his uncanny experiences with Hermione, another figure who cannot fit into the prescribed social circles. Their relationship brings to Haller brief intervals of happiness, but he is constantly aware of the fact that one day Hermione will issue a command for him to murder her that he will be compelled to obey. With remarkable accuracy, Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse has made savage indictments in "Steppenwolf" which will point the reader toward the sickness of our times that has made life a "dreadful specter." Hesse does not conclude, however, on this pessimistic note, but manages to lead the Steppenwolf to the triumphant decision to accept the good with the bad and to make an honest effort in living.
