I Got By With A Little Help From My Friends

For the past two semesters I have been Editor-in-Chief of "The Rotunda," and, in this editorial, I would like to thank the ACTIVE members of the staff who have helped put the paper out every week. It seems that, like everything else, it's the ones who complain the most who don't do anything constructive about what they're complaining about With over 2,000 girls on campus, more than five should be actively involved in putting out the newspaper. The newspaper is not the only group on campus that is having this problem. The other publications have this problem as do many of the clubs Where are these 2,000 plus girls when it come to doing something const rue tive:> Many girls complain because one girl is in charge of more than one organization But why not, she is probably the only girl who has really done something for the organization Where are the apathetic majority^ They are probably sitting back in their rooms with a Coke and a movie magazine. Enough of the opathy lecture The main point is that "The Rotunda" will not be able to survive unless it has more willing workers. This also includes the faculty At one time "The Rotunda" did have enough staff to have every department covered by a reporter who would see the department chairman and find out it rhere was a slory that neec!ed coverage Now there are not enough students to do this In order to have a fair representation of the departments, someone in each department should notify the editor or a member of the staff about ten days before the next paper comes out that there will possibly be a story from the department. Another problem where lack of staff really hurts is during the Sunday night lay-out sessions. The old faithfuls come every week — about three of us — who count words, write headlines, type, lay-out the paper, and when an expected story does not come in, the Editor has to come up with an inspiration to fill the spaces. Or, when the pictures don't come out, there is a mad dash to either retake the pictures bofom the printer's deadline or to find a substitute As an example, when nor.e of the pictures came out for a paper last year, two of the pictures could be retaken, but something had to be done to fill the space left by four pictures The academic calendar and a game were used to fill the place At times like this, my suite meets for a brainstorming session until someone comes up with a solution of what to stuff into a hole on page one Thank you, roommate and suitemates Then there are the times when I get a call at eleven p.m. on Sunday night Someone wants an article in "The Rotunda." The paper has already been laid out and an extra story is not needed that week Whoever got the idea that "Rotunda" articles should be turned in on Sunday night? Saturday at 6 pm. was the deadline. Getting an article to the Editor on Sunday night does not give her time to read the article and check to see if the facts are correct. Contrary to what may be popular belief, we do not enjoy spending five hours in "The Rotunda" office laying out the newspaper, |ust so that on Wednesday someone can ask why there wasn't a picture in the paper of the LC tiddlywinks champions There are also the students who do not turn in their articles until Monday morning The newspaper, completely laid-out with articles accompanying it, should be in the hands of "The Farmville Herald" on Monday morning, ready to print Thank you, "Farmville Herald," for the many times you have understood about a late story or have tried to help fill a space There are students who complain about the content of the "Letters to the Editor," the news stories and the editorials. They feel they are biased, that the paper is |ust the viewpoint of the small staff who keep it going every week If this is the situation, it's your own fault, you people sitting back in your rooms lounging, you can join the staff. You can write "Letters to the Editor " You can submit articles, features, or reviews You can even talk to the Editor, but don't expect her to come to you for your opinion If you feel that your opinion is really that important, go to her And if you want to compare the Longwood newspaper with other college newspapers, remember one thing, their staff may be larger and PAID If you feel that you do not have the time to write for the paper, there is still much you can do — proofreading, writing cutlines, typing, counting stories, etc Help next semester's staff Don't let them turn old and cynical before their time Join "The Rotunda1" — M.

CVV A Presented Film On Western Society Recently "Civilisation," the color film series tracing the great ideas and events of Western Society over the last sixteen centuries, came to this area on January 12. Sponsored by the Central Virginia Art Association (CVAA), the special program is a gift of the Ladies Council, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. A 13-part series, "Civilisation" has won critical acclaim on two continents. It was created, written and narrated by the distinguished British art historian Lord Clark of Saltwood (Kenneth Clark). What makes the series different from other historical films is the fact that Clark views the development of Western man in the light of man's artistic accomplishments. Clark tells the story of cililization through the media of paintings, architecture, sculpture and music. "The Washington Post" commented about this presentation: "He (Clark) can look at a carving in the nave of the Chartres cathedral and make you see how it personifies the spirit of an age . . . He pulls out a few sentences from the dazzling storehouse of his mind and makes the listener immediately curious to know more about the subject." Produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation, "CiviUsation" was televised originally in Great Britain in 1969. In the United States, it has played to full houses at art galleries and universities. The series will be shown here in seven installments, according to James P. Baber, president, CVAA. The first program, scheduled for viewing January 12, was one hour in length. The six succeeding programs will be shown January 15, 19, 22, 26, 29, and February 2. Each of the latter is approximately two hours long, featuring two consecutive films from the series. "Civilisation" will be shown at the Prince Edward County Courthouse, Main Street, Farmville, at 7:30 p.m. The program on January 26 will be shown in the Conference Room of the new county office annex. There is no admission charge and the general public is invited to attend.
Players Elect Officers Longwood Players elected n e w officers last Thursday. The President is Joyce Saunders, Vice-President is Beth Tavares, and Technical Director is Nell Skinner. Other officers are Treasurer, Diane Rourke, Secretary, Kay Burcher; and Public Relations, Brenda Griffin.

Students Design Own Course Of Study At Chatam College PITTSBURGH, PA.-(I.P.) - Chatham College has adopted a new academic program which frees the student from traditional requirements and gives her an opportunity to design the course of study which best fulfills her personal educational interests and abilities. Under the new program, the student may complete the 34 courses required for graduation by choosing freely from a wide selection of courses in the humanities, social and natural sciences. Two interim programs and a tutorial must also be finalized. The interim programs will provide monthlong, differently structured and especially intensive work in a field of special student interest. The senior tutorial - an individual study project designed by the student and a faculty advisor, and requiring competent oral and written articulation - will now be the only formal academic experience common to all Chatham students. The new curriculum will offer a special group of topic-oriented and problem-oriented seminars open only to freshmen. During the first ten days of each fall term freshmen will be allowed to attend classes without registering for them. This will give new students an opportunity to meet the majority of the faculty and to determine by actual classroom experience those courses which best fulfill their educational objectives. In the new curriculum the student — working closely with her faculty advisor - will determine whether she will pursue a traditional or an innovative program. In choosing her course work, she may decide on a traditional departmental or interdepartmental major, and thus assume the structure of
"7" Day Period Rules In Effect, Calldowns Given The purpose of the 7-day period will be to create an atmosphere conducive to study during the exam period. This shall be accomplished in two ways: 1. The 7-days prior to exams, January 12-18, will be considered a strict quiet period and will be enforced by Residence Board. A. Regular Residence Board rules concerning quiet on the halls will be enforced strictly. B. Complete quiet will be expected at all times during these days. C. Any girl may give another girl a calldown for excessive noise during the 7-day period preceding exams of the exam period. D. A calldown given for excessive noise during this period will result in 2 days plain campus. 11. No organization or college-related activity shall hold meetings during the entire 7 days preceding the exam period. A. The Judicial Board and the Residence Board will be two exceptions. They may meet if the need arises. B. Any other exceptions of special requests will be handled by the office of the Dean of Women.
the requirements for that major. She may elect instead to center her work on a problem involving several disciplines not usually considered related. Or she may decide to create a mosaic of course work, one not actually centered on any particular major or problem, but appropriate to her personal intellectual requirements. To assure that the student has ample experience in the methods of scholarly work, certain unconventional course formats have been created. One such course is the Freshman Seminar, a topic- and problem-centered approach to learning designed to involve small groups of students in research and in consideration and articulation of a common problem. The Faculty Symposium will serve as another kind of innovative course. In lieu of traditional classwork, two or more faculty members may schedule a symposium to discuss a subject relevent to their disciplines, or to test and formulate scholarship in which they are engaged. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the faculty-student relationship to the success of the new program. For his part, the faculty member is freed to determine new courses in obedience to his academic interest rather than to the requirements of a standardized basic curriculum. He will teach what he genuinely wants to teach, in the way he wants to teach it, just as the student is free to chart her course of study.
Pass-Fail Option Used In Colleges May Be Replaced PULLMAN, WASH.-(I.P.) - The pass-fall option now being used in many colleges and universities, may in turn be replaced by a credit-nocredit option with failing marks eliminated entirely. This possibility is raised by Jim Quann, associate registrar at Washington State University. Quann based his findings on a survey he conducted among 150 four year colleges and universities. The initial survey was sent to major universities in each state, as well as institutions that were reported to be experimenting with pass-fail or other grading innovations. Much of the data listed in his study may soon be outdated, he said, but "emergent trends can be determined, and a useful model can be designed." He concluded by saying that of 25 grading options adopted during the 1969-70 school year, 55 per cent utilized a variation of credit-no-credit grading, while 72 per cent completely eliminated the effect of the "F," or felling grade, on the grade point average. "Thus, while pass-fail is the more prominent trend In new grading techniques, the credlt-no-credit option, with complete elimination of the concept of 'failure,' is the emerging pattern," Quann said. A student has been charged with and pleaded guilty to cheating. The student has been suspended until February, 1972.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - (I.P.) -Student campus radicals - the New Left - are the most likely to have had illicit-exotic drug experience, reports Psychologist Richard H. Blum in his new two-volume study, "Students and Drugs," (Jossey-Bass Inc., San Francisco). "From 1962 until today," he writes, "the most visibly fervent groups on campus have been the New Left, the student radicals whose protests, sitins and other forms of political activity have stirred so much interest. Those in the left wing are shown in jur survey data to be the most likely students with illicit-exoticdrue experience." And the farther to the left, the more intensive their drug use, Dr. Blum finds. There are some exceptions, he notes. Marxists, for example, are strongly opposed to illicit drug use. Either way, in any student drugusing group, they are "vitally Interested in drugs" and "they can have these drug interests plus a strong admixture of active-left politics, with its emphasis on power sharing (or grabbing), confrontations, and expanded individual freedom (or anarchy)." But the issue is more complex than that, and there is danger in categorization, the research associates on the survey project note. In the first place, Dr. Blum writes, "most students do not appear to be interested in illicit-exotic drug use, the New Left or dropping out. Consequently, any diagnosis of student drug experimentation or activism which says 'students are ..." misses the fact that most students are not." "In the second place, even the stu-
Wofford College Alters Grade System No D & F Grades SPARTANBURG, S.C.-(I.P.) - In a move designed to emphasize the positive aspects of learning, Wofford College altered its grading system by dropping the grades of D and F this fall. In the place of these marks, grades of "Placement Credit only" (PL) and "No Credit" (NC) will be given. The grades A, B and C will be maintained. Under the new system, the entire grade point ratio system, which has been used as a factor In determining whether a student is eligible tor graduation, will be abolished. The former system made it nearly impossible to offset D's and F's with good grades. In lieu of the grade point ratio previously required, candidates for degrees will be required to accumulate 120 semester hours worth of credit with grades of C or better in order to graduate. Beginning this fall, any student making a PL in a course during the regular semester will receive no semester hours toward the needed 120 for graduation, but will complete the particular requirement if the course is required for graduation. Students earning an NC In one of these courses will receive no semester hours of credit and no completion of the satisfaction of the requirement. These required courses will have to be repeated until at least a grade of PL is earned. If the course is an elective course, there is no requirement to repeat the course and some (Continued on Page 4)
dents who are activist, drug-oriented or drop-outs are by no means a homogenous group." These "revolutionaries of the inner world, the drugoriented," Dr. Blum points out, espouse doctrines that sound like a Christian sermon: "fellowship, love, peace, religious experience, personal expansion, and artistic development." The "revolutionaries of the outer world," he writes, the activists, espouse goals "which sound like a Presidential campaign speech: peace and international accommodation, freedom at home and abroad, democratic sharing of power, justice and opportunity for all ... " Dr. Blum and his associates, who spent more than eight years on their study, surveyed more than 20,000 persons and analyzed research from several other Western countries and cultures. They talked to drug users at five Western colleges and universities and six California high schools, and found that the most prevalent use of an illicit drug was the smoking of marijuana. They drew a profile of the typi-
cal marijuana-smoker: More prevalent amont students who are older upper-classmen, arts and humanities and social science majors; Come from wealthier families with one or both parents deceased; Are either without religious affiliation, or are Jewish, or have no interest, in religion, or differ from mother or father's religion; Find athletics of no importance, (but) do participate and are involved in politics; Do seek new experience, do not participate in activities related to academic or future careers, politically are strongly left or are underlying political change farther to the left; and are in disagreement with the politics of their parents." But a follow-up study reveals that as the use of marijuana becomes more prevalent among the majority of students, as it has now on some campuses, users' characteristics are less extreme, so that the portrait of the marijuana experimenter is also the portrait of the average student.

Big Brown Eyes And Dark Hair, That's Peyton Of Prince Beowulf By VICKI BOWLING There is a new face on campus. Most of the students have already seen it, for who could help but notice and remember a young, active, friendly male with big brown eyes and shiny, dark hair? That's right, I'm talking about Peyton of Prince Beowulf, the Great Dane puppy of English professor Fred P. Herndon. Mr. Herndon was all too happy to talk about his youthful friend. Like any proud father, he brought out snapshots recording his 'son's" growth. Under Peyton's watchful eyes, he related some very Interesting facts. It seems that M r. Herndon, like the British author Thomas Hardy, was beginning to have fears of not having someone to carry on the family name. Peyton solved the problem. Beowulf was his father and Peyton is Mr. Herndon 's middle name. Peyton is about half the size he will eventually reach. He will grow six to seven inches taller and will add 85-95 lbs. to his present 75 lbs. It is obvious that Peyton is still a
growing puppy. He celebrated Ids seven-months birthday on December 17. Is it expensive to keep a Great Dane? Well, he eats about six lbs. of food a day, both dog food and leftovers. Mr. Herndon figures that he has already spent $700 on Peyton. He plans to get some of this money back, though, by making a show dog of him. Peyton accompanies his master everywhere, Including on some dates. He fits right in, liking people more than other dogs. Particularly partial to Ml kind master, he is very obedient. Mr. Herndon said tli.it the reaction to Peyton by the young females on campus was generally that Of admiration, "Unfortunately," he mourned, "he doesn't know how to appreciate it or take advantage of it."

By SARAH FARRAR "On a Clear Day" represents Hollywood's conception of a mystical musical — meaning that boy meets girl in the here and now, loses her in a past life, and gets her in a future incarnation. "Boy" in this case is sexy Yves Montand, a psychiatrist who discovers that, under hypnosis, a chain-smoking college student, Daisy Gamble, possesses a past existence and identity so fascinating that he immediately falls in love with her. Alan Lerner's Broadway musical is about this baffling lovely and her matter-of-fact reincarnation. Barbra Streisand throws her accent around fairly well but somehow it is all too overdone. Unfortunately, Barbra has apparently done some spreading out herself, for while in the 1970 scenes she's merely plump, the 19th century flashbacks find her looking positively bovine. The songs are good, and she belts them out the Streisand way. But one wishes he were seeing Barbra in a concert in Central Park (where she really is enjoyable) instead of the film, for her songs have been so strung out by excessive stylistic indulgence that not only do Alan Jay Lerner's lyrics get swallowed up in an interpretative mess but any likeness of emotional or melodic communication almost disappears as well.
