Brezhnev Supreme MOSCOW - Leonid I. Brezhnev was reelected as the general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party at the 24th party congress being held at the Kremlin. Indications are that the collective leadership which took power from Nikita Kruschev is ending and that Brezhnev is emerging as the single strong man in the government. He already has complete control of the party and his close supporters have been added to the Politburo. Western diplomats feel that Brezhnev's new power could have significant effects on the fields of domestic and foreign policy. Newsmen In China HONG KONG-I'eking lias taken a sudden departure from its basic policy and is allowing representatives of the American news media to enter China in order to cover the tour of and American table tennis team, which entered China Saturday morning. The men will r .'..resent the Associated Press, Life magazine and the National Broadcasting Co. This marks the first time that full-time correspondents with U.S. citizenship have been able to visit Communist China in 22 years. The decision is believed to tiave been made in reaction to President Nixon's action of removing restrictions on visits to China by U.S. citizens.

"Communism is the religion,"
Dr. Willett pointed out, ' and Lenin is the savior." The dedication to Lenin is unbelievable, Dr. Willett said. His picture is everywhere. The lines to see his body are tremendous. Visitors are allowed to go to the front, otherwise, they'd be waiting in line five or six hours. Stalin is virtually ignored. The government is very strict on visitors. Dr. Willett gave reasons why. The 24th Congress is getting ready to meet, and the government is tense about the situation. There is also some feeling of dissent, particularly on he part of the inteUectuals. The government is cracking down on the intellectuals. It has imposed a strict limit on literature brought in by visitors, particularly western visitors. Technical publications, however, are allowed. A guide from the official Russian agency was constantly with the group. What the group was not supposed to know was that there was a second guide, seemingly Inconspicuous. This second guide was a check on the first, making sure that the first didn't say or do anything out of line. ' It was quite obvious, however, who our second guide was," Dr. Willett grinned.

Geist, an honorary leadership and scholarship organization, honored 11 juniors in its spring tapping on Tuesday evening, April 13. The students were recognized because of their outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service to Longwood College. Geist feels that these girls have tried to promote college loyalty and to preserve the ideals of the institution. They have at the same time built an underrtandtaf between students and faculty. Those tapped were: Frankie Brown, Patti Coogan, Sally Foster, Donna Gibson, Jody Mace, Margaret Webb, Jo Brown, Lois llrubik, Martha Marchese, Amelia Nespoli and Kay Powell. FRANKIE BROWN Frankie Brown is an English major from Waynesboro. Frankie was a member of Legislative Board her freshman and sophomore years, and was co-chairman of the junior red and whites during Oktoberfest.

THE ROTUNDA
Discontinuation Of Subject Majors A Threat To Future Educational Opportunity By LYNNE PIERCE In the week since we returned from spring vacation, there have been many rumors around the campus concerning the discontinuation of several majors which are now offered by Longwood. The rumors were contradicting and declared that anything from specific classes to entire departments were being eliminated. In order to clarify the reports, I spoke with Mr. Ben Sandidge about the future of the German Department, the one most often mentioned. Mr. Sandidge said he has been informed by the dean that because of lowenrollment and "trying to economize,'' he is considering dropping the German major from the curriculum. No definite decision has been made yet, but Mr. Sandidge has been given a contract which terminates at the end of next year. Meanwhile, Longwood will be looking for an instructor who can teach another language as well as German.
Administrative Clean-Up
A Thoughtful Stand Should students have any voice in the dismissal of professors? Although there are mixed reactions among the student body at LODgWOOd the most prevalent feeling seems to be that since they as students are directly affected that, yes, they should have some say as to "who gets the hatchet." How would the student have a voice in this area of academic policy? It has been suggested that a joint student and faculty assembly would be formed which would be able to recommend directly to the president and the Board of Visitors. It could become a recorded policy that the Board of Visitors would solicit recommendations by the student Faculty Assembly upon any matter directly affecting faculty interests and on all matters of academic policy This committee, it has been suggested, would be responsible for such things as seeing that there is no general discrimination against young applicants for faculty positions and that a college-wide formal student evaluation of faculty be held every two or three years. This idea of a joint student-faculty assembly has begun to gain wide support. The main arguiiitiii supporting such a plan is that in the present system the academic freedoms of students are being infringed upon. Students feel that since the administration "hires In their best interest"that they are the ones which should be consulted in the matter If the question of faculty dismissal is, as many say, a question of student academic freedom, then perhaps Longwood docs need a joint Student Faculty assembly It might be worth looking into LW

Should German be dropped, only those classes required for a general degree will be taught. When asked if a program similiar to that used with Greek and Latin students could be set up, Mr. Sandidge replied that he felt they "don't offer enough at HampdenSydney" to qualify a student for a degree in German. Mr. Sandidge is now most concerned with what will happen at registration. If students think they will not be able to complete their German courses, they will not sign up for any of the classes. Since the fate of this, and any other department in danger, will depend on registration figures, it is imperative that students sign up for these classes to keep them from being cancelled. The controversy over the fates of the departments involved raises questions concerning what sort of system of priorities Longwood should follow. Should a college discontinue parts of its curriculum and yet continue to increase the number of buildings it
constructs? Longwood has been emphasizing in recent years that it is a liberal arts college and not specifically a teacher-training institute. However, it does not appear to be logical to cease offering classes when such a move can only make a curriculum, which is already sadly limited, even narrower in its scope. Longwood will be defeating its own goals for the future and will only be suited for educating teachers for below the seventh grade level. While I would never dispute the importance of elementary education, our society has gone far past the point where this was considered sufficient for future achievement. The logical solution would be for Longwood to stop expanding and to begin conserving in other areas until it can afford to support both the necessary curriculum and expansion. To follow any other procedure can only be detrimental to Longwood College in the future.
IItttefÂŤtltt(&W An Open Letter
Open Letter to Mr.BillStukey, Instructor of Art, Longwood College. Dear Bill, I would have to thank you for your cooperation with the Art department at the John D. Wynne Campus School this year. The students from your classes who have come to observe and teach have been outstanding. They have been well prepared, enthusiastic, and willing to risk themselves in the new experience of taking the responsibility of relating significantly with children. The girls have met with me to plan, pro. vided me with detailed lesson plans in advance, and been unfailingly dependable in meeting their teaching assignments. More important, they have been imaginative and innovative in their teaching methods. I commend you on a job well done. It is evident that you are adept at being a participant in learning experiences with your student;, since they bring this ability to the classroom as a part of their teaching repetory. Teachers of your calibre who are able to generate enthusiasm in students are invaluable. I offer my condolences to you on the termination of your contract. I must also offer my condolences to the students of Long-
wood College. Your departure is their misfortune. Sincerely, C. Sherry Potts Director of Art John P. Wynne Campus School
Longwood College
Representative? Dear Editor, Colleague tapping last week was ^ great disappointment to a great number of freshmen; not because they weren't tapped, but because the whole ceremony was so predictable. The new Colleagues are either members of sororities or physical education majors. On several occasions leading members of the freshman class were left out because they didn't fit into either category. Colleagues are selected mainly to greet the incoming freshmen and transfers in the fall. They try to instill in the newcomers the blue and white spirit of Longwood. This blue and white spirit is manifested differently in each individual, therefore the Colleagues should be a crosssection of these individuals. We are not all sorority sisters, nor are we all top achievers in the department of physical education, and the new students have the right to know that the rest
af us are a part of the college community, too. In the future, perhaps the Colleagues could be selected because of the work they have done in school activities and the blue and white spirit they have shown throughout the year. This way Colleagues would be a true representation of the student body. Barbara Radtord
Fairness? When students register for classes, they are only allowed to know the time and place the class meets. Therefore, they have no choice as to what professor they get. We do PAY to go here and therefore, it would seem that the student should be able to get the teacher he prefers providing there is space and he can fit it into his schedule. Secondly, is it fair that the students, faculty, and administration have no joint committee in which they can see if the professors are living up to their jobs. I don't think it is the full iuty of administration and the Board of Trustees (for the lucky professors who have tenure) to see who stays and who goes. After all, the students are theoneswho attend these classes everyday, so why don't they have a voice? As the system stands now, it is unjust. Linda Jones
M.S. U. Senate Ousts Campus Paper Editor (Reprinted from A.S.G. News) The staff of the REFLECTOR, student newspaper at Mississippi State University, has lost its latest battle in efforts to regain control of the paper since being ousted by the student government Feb. 17. In a Federal District Court decision March 16, U.S. Judge William c. Keady refused to grant REFLECTOR Editor Grady (Foots) Thurmon a temporary restraining order against the student government takeover. Thurmon, in a suit against the university president, the officers of the student senate and the board of publications, will be appealing the case to the
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Meanwhile, most of the REFLECTOR staff and Thurmon are publishing an alternative paper, FRIENDS on the campus. The student government changed the locks on the REFLECTOR offices at 3 a.m., Feb. 18 after calling for Thurmon's resignation the previous afternoon, after an obscene word appeared in a controversial article on black studies at Mississippi State. The lockout occurred while Thurmon was attending a national editors' conference in California. A few days later, the senate finally held a hearing, charging the editor with general negligence of duty, naming no specific
acts and officially dismissed Thurmon as editor, installing Joe Patterson, Thurmon's business manager, as his successor. Funds have been raised from various friends throughout the South, and from the U.S. Student Press Association's emergency publishing fund to aid the ousted staff which plans several tabloid newspapers before the general campus elections March 31. Mississippi State elects both its editor and business manager in campus-wide elections each Spring, the same time as the student government elections. The Student Government is designated the publisher of the student newspaper by the student constitution, which also ex(Continued on Page 8)

CHARLOTTESVILLE - The American Civil Liberties Union and the Charlottesville Draft Resistance have been joined by the student council of the University 3f Virginia in seeking an end to the draft. The draft law expires June 30 and the groups are working to see that it is not extended. The council's action accompanied a joint resolution of the House and Senate of U. Va. calling for arepeal of the law. Paper Cuts Back EMORY, VA. - The Student Council at Emory and Henry College voted recently to discontinue its tradition of presenting the Excellence-in-Teaching Award due to a shortage of funds. The council has come under fire from students, however, because they feel money is being spent unwisely in other areas. The White Topper, the school paper, has cut itself back to four pages and is putting the money saved in a fund for the award. Editor Steve Hunt says the council may refuse the money, but, if it does, the paper will present the award on behalf of the students. Black

Student Teaching Experiences Rewarding "Students who complete student teaching with a grade below •C are not recommended for certification as teachers." So reads the Student Teacher's Handbook — the law book for those preparing to begin the unique ex[xnonce of stadent teaching. With the recent return of last block's student teachers, it was thought a random poll of the "lucky ones" would reveal much about the advantages and disadvantages of their experiences. Discipline Problems One junior prospective student teacher admitted that she feared having discipline problems. When questioned about this, various views and opinions were brought out by these seniors. "I really had no discipline problems," one girl said. "I let the students discipline each other, really. If some of the students got out of hand, and this was rare, other students reprimanded these troublemakers themselves." Demerit Systems Many of the student teachers interviewed told about the demerit systems employed throughout many of the schools. If the student talked aloud in class either without being called on or in some other way disrupted class, then the teacher was expected to give the student a demerit. In some schools a certain
number of demerits would cause a lowering in the student's grade, while in other schools a number of demerits would result in suspension. Did the student teachers use the demerit systems prescribed by their schools? In some casesyes. 'Sometimes the demerit system would be the only thing that worked. Some kids would only behave after being threatened by or receiving a demerit,"one student teachers aid. * I hated having to resort to the demerit, though." Other student teachers felt the demerit system was wrong and would not bestow demerits. "I couldn't see how suspending a student from school would help him. Often the slow learners or the repeaters were the ones given the demerits, and suspending these kids from school would not make their behavior improve, but make them more bitter and apt to cause trouble." Another returning Longwood girl told how receiving demerits sometimes became the symbol of status. "One boy openly bragged about getting over 400 demerits in a single year," she said. Problem Students Did you ever have any problems with students who refused to learn or who just slept in your classroom?" was another question asked of the student teachers.
"I had one class of only repeaters," one girl began. "Some of these kids worked at night and didn't get home until late and then didn't feel the need to do homework. I had to find something that would interest these kids on their own level - that would keep them awake. I used a lot of current issues units in that class." "Sure, I had a couple of kids who slept in every one of my classes. What did I do? I let them sleep. I figured their sleep was more important," another girl said. There were those who disagreed with this theory, however. "I felt I had to wake these sleepers to be fair to the rest of the class. Sleep and boredom tend to be contagious, you know." Other girls told of how they treated students who refused to respond. Says one girl, "I had one little girl in my class who just refused to take part in any class activities. I found that she was embarrassed because she wasn't up to the level of most of the other kids." "I really thought one guy was going to be a big disappointment. I finally hit upon giving him little jobs and roles in the class to make him a part. Being Antony in 'Julius Caesar' was one of the best things that ever happened to Willie." Still, there were those who alter continued efforts refused to respond and were disappoint-
Usefulness of Education Courses Did you find that your education courses taken while at Longwood were of great value?

"I never sawthe real value of all those objectives and lesson plans until I actually Friendly Or Aloof? went out to teach."

Baldwin Tops Fencers Next Step Is Nationals Mary Frances Baldwin, a member of Longwood's Fencing Team, captured first place in the Women's Division of theVirginia State AFLA Foil Championship held recently at the College of William and Mary. Thisqualifies her as one of Virginia's three representatives to the National Competitions. Temple Harvey, another Longwood fencer, placed in the top six fencers, and ended up taking fifth place. Seventeen women registered for the Women's Division. These fencers were divided into three pools of six, six, and five. Each contestant was required to fence all other fencers in their respective pools. The top two fencers in each pool were then placed in a
final pool to determine the top three places. Mary Frances won in her pool with a score of four wins and one lose, while Temple won in her pool with a final score of 3-2. Both then advanced to the finals. In this competition, Temple ended up with a score of 2 wins and three loses, while Mary Frances ended her bouts again with a score of 4-1, loosing only to her teammate, Temple Harvey. Other winners were: Mrs. Marie Dacey, Richmond Fencing Club, second; Cheryl Evans, Mary Washington College, third; Susan Morey, Richmond Fencing Club, fourth; and Barbara Clare, Lynchburg, sixth. Nationl Competition will be held later this spring.
English Lacrosse Coach Instructs Longwood's Team Mrs. Elaine Taylor, of Dorsit, England, was the visiting coach for the LC Lacrosse Team at a clinic held here this past week end. She was selected as the visiting coach because in the past six years, while serving as a teacher and lacrosse coach in a selective type of grammar school, her lacrosse team has won the national lacrosse title four years. While here at Longwood, Mrs. Taylor worked with sixteen girls on basic skills of cradling, pivoting, passing, catching, picking up the ball, and cutting and creating i space. Mrs. Taylor spoke highly of her visits to the various coUeges so far. "It has been a great honor for me to serve as a visiting coach. The friendliness and kindness has been overwhelming. By the enthusiasm of the coaches and students, I know that lacrosse will come to be a popular sport in the United States,'' she commented. Mrs. Taylor has been in the United States for two weeks and plans to spend at least another two weeks visiting colleges throughout the state.

Passenger Train Service To Be Discontinued In Farmville
Committee Votes To Extend Course Withdrawal Period The Academic Policies Committee recently decided to change the procedure for withdrawing from classes. A student will be ible to drop a coursa any time within the first six weeks of the semester. In the past, withdrawals had to be made before the end of the first two weeks of the semester. If a student dropped a course after this time she received an automatic F in the class. Under the new system if
a student withdraws from the college or from a course within the allotted six weeks, she will receive a grade of W (withdrawal) Instead of WP (withdrawal passing) or WF (withdrawal failing). The committee does not feel that this change will interfere with the academic quality of any course. It will merely enable the student to adequately evaluate her choice of courses. The change will be included in the next catalog.

Art Instructor Dismissed Solicits Student Support By ETHEL REITER "1 have come here to ask for your support," said Mr. William Stukey to about 50 students assembled in Curry dormitory 10:30 p.m., Wednesday. Mr. Stukey, an instructor in the Art Department, recently received a notice of his dismissal. Dean Blackwell said that Mr. Stukey is being replaced by a more experienced and qualified professor. "We tried to hire this woman last year, but she wanted to stay in the school system in which she was working. This year she agreed to come to Longwood," said Blackwell.
However, Mr. Stukey does not feel that this is the basis of his dismissal. He had received earlier a letter from President Willett in which he accused Stuckey of making derogatory remarks regarding Longwood's judicial system. This letter was then sent to the Board of Visitors. A student asked Mr. Stukey if he felt that his alleged remarks led to the termination of his contract. He replied, "Yes, I do." A petition was then read which asks for the continuation of Stukey's teaching position at Longwood College. These petitions are being circulated in the dorms.
