LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1972
Carrol Kersh Named Head Colleague For 1972
Q - Why aren't students allowed to attend meetings of the Board of Visitors and the faculty? C. G. andD. B. A - The following answer was given to us by Dr. Willett: Meetings of the College Board of Visitors are closed by action of the (;ÂŤneral Assembly in exempting meetings of college boards of visitors from the freedom of information act. Exceptions to this may be made by the Board and frequently are. Student representatives have attended at least 50% of the recent Board meetings. It would be unfair for members of the Board to come in and discuss matters initially in an open meeting where their every thought and action would be a matter of public record. 1 believe it was with this thought in mind that the (Jeneral Assembly took the action that it did. The faculty, like many similar bodies, has the right to determine which persons, who do not hold membership in the faculty, may attend its meetings. Again, student representatives have attended approximately 50% of recent faculty meetings in order to present proposals, discuss matters of concern, etc. It should also be noted that Longwood students have other avenues of communication not available on most campuses. These include serving on all major committees of the College, including the Longwood College Council; press conferences; student retreats; etc. Q - When are we going to have a music library-lounge open to all students? N. M. A - When asked about this question, Dr. Molnar, Chairman of the Music Department, replied: The Music Department is not equipped nor does it have the funds to have a music librarylounge; all students are welcomed to use the record library under the restrictions and regulations to which music students areplaced (no smoking, drinking, food, etc., taking proper care of records, etc.), but the music listening room is not intended to be a lounge - it is a place of study. The logical place to lounge is in the Lankford Huilding. Q - How is room drawing handled? S. S. A - The following answer was

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON With the sounds from 75 rings from the CHI bell still resounding in her ears, Carrol Kersh was named head colleague for 1972. Donna Hicks, head colleague for 1971, made the announcement which was greeted with immediate and enthusiastic applause from the large audience gathered in the Rotunda. "I can't believe it, it's a great honor,'' said Carrol, "I'll call my parents and tell them." A freshman from Harrisonburg, Va. and a physical education major, Carrol is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha social sorority and the Longwood College tennis team. She is also a member of freshman commission. "I hope to do half the job Donna (Hicks) did this past year," added Carrol. The plans and goals for the coming year are now in the making. The colleagues for 1972 are Sue Goodwin, Nancy Minnick, Karen Smith, Sarah and Susan Smithey, Pat Saunders, D. A. Taylor, Karen Minyard,

Nobody's Fault But Your Own In my three years at Longwood, I have become convinced that the two favorite pastimes of the students here are boys and complaining. It's easy to understand why boys hold the first position since this is a girls' school, but I have always been interested in the second one. Longwood students complain about everything from the food in the dining hall to the weather. Occasionally, when they run out of topics, they'll make up a rumor and complain about that. By far, the most popular and frequent complaint has to be: "I never stay on campus because there's nothing to do." I'll defend anyone's right to complain and I'll admit that most of them have a certain amount of justification behind them, but to those who say there's nothing to do, I can only say it's nobody's fault but your own! Because of the students' total indifference in this area, it is now also obvious that the future operations of one of the major organizations on campus are going to be severely crippled. The Student Union has made a concentrated effort this year to provide quality entertainment that the students can enjoy at a minimum price. In an attempt to provide "something to do," it has presented a calendar of events that has included dances, movies, plays, concerts and fashion shows. The events have been varied in nature in order to provide something to meet the tastes of the majority of the students. What has been the reward for the great amount of work Student Union members put out? They have seen project after project produce a less than minimum turnout among the students and the majority have resulted in a great financial loss. The object of these events isn't to make money, but neither is it to waste it. The blame for this can only rest with the students. No one can say the programs are no good. The less than two hundred people who saw Gove and the bare two hundred who saw "The Fantasticks," for example, will tell you you are wrong. Even if the shows were terrible, that again comes back to the students. The Student Union has pleaded numerous times for suggestions and help from the students. Too many of you have been too busy sitting in the dorms talking about boys, clothes or who-knows-what to care, though. (Don't try to hid behind studying, either. The majority of us know how much weight that carries. Besides, the girls who help have classes too.) How can you expect anyone to provide entertainment for you when you refuse to support their efforts'.' Why should anyone make an effort when the only reaction they get is total indifference from the students? The thing that amazes me is t >at there are people willing to do this work and who have done an exceptional job in providing interesting events. Dragon Chandler, her officers and the students who help her deserve a lot of credit and THE ROTUNDA acknowledges this work as some of the most productive on campus. The Student Union is in trouble, though. Due to constantly going in debt on programs, the union's budget has been severely depleted. Some of the plans for the rest of the year face cancellation or drastic alteration because of a lack of funds. The next time you say "there's nothing to do," think About how much you could have done if you had made a suggestion or attended some of the events! LYNNE

U. Va. Concert Dear Editor, This letter is to announce a concert at the University of Virginia. Alice Cooper and newly emerging Redbone are scheduled to appear on Friday, April 14, 1972. Alice Cooper, one of the few American groups which compliments its music with an extraordinary visual performance, has been a sell-out in major cities across the nation recently, and has drawn rave reviews from many critics. For this reason, I advise that all interested in attending the show, to be held in University Hall at 8:00 P. M. on the aforementioned date, write in advance to Larry Wickter, PK-German Dance Society of the University Union, NewcombHall, U.Va., Charlottesville, Virginia 22901, with a check enclosed payable to the University Union and a self-addressed return envelope. Tickets will be on sale, while they last, for $3.50 in advance or $4.00 at the door, and I take this opportunity to invite all of you to attend. Cordially, Robert M. Murphy Chairman of Publicity PK-German Dance Society of the University Union
Food Theft Graduation Must Do So Immediately. Be Sure To Nave Your Records Checked To Be Sure You Meet The Qualifications.
Dear Students, "Stealing is defined as: A. The stealing of personal property, items from the college stores, or items from the college stores, or items from dormitory refrigerators. (Longwood College Student Handbook, page 89.) Last week, seven students were
placed on special probation for the remainder of their time at Longwood for stealing food from the dining hall. Only the food listed on page 76 may be removed from the dining hall during meals except when permission is obtained from ARA Slater management. Failure to abide by this rule is a Residence board offense. However, it is considered stealing of college property to enter the dining hall after the Slater business hours are over at night and remove food or any other article from the dining hall. Indirectly, it is stealing from the entire student body since our fees paid for the food. Judicial Board was informed of the following: 1. Many members of the student body feel that paying their fees entitles them tc get their food at anytime they so desire. 2. Some students have interpreted Mr. Carbone's statement at a Press Conference last year to mean they could get something to eat anytime they are hungry. Both of the above statements are incorrect. Slater realizes
that students do not come to every meal and board fees are charged accordingly. Therefore, missing a meal does NOT mean that Slater owes the student food, and therefore, does NOT entitle the student to take food without permission. Mr. Carbone's statement at last year's Press Conference was to the effect that he does not want anyone to leave the dining hall hungry. If a student does not get enough to eat during the meal she should let him know and he will see to it that she will get something to eat. This is NOT permission to enter the dining hall at anytime you are hungry and get food. If 2000 girls enter the dining hall at night to get a snack, there would not be enough food for the meals on the following day. This past week, one student was found guilty of the charge of lying during Judicial Board investigations and was suspended. The student body is reminded that it is an Honor Code offense to lie in either Judicial or Residence Board investigations. Sandy Oliver Chairman, Judicial Board

The Fantasticks Termed As "Funny & Sad" And Excellent By VICKI BOWLING It's getting to be routine at Longwood - a sparse crowd viewing an excellent performance. The few hundred spectators who sat in Jarmanto watch THE FANTASTICKS on Monday, March 20, were treated to a funny and sad story of a Boy, a Girl, and their Fathers, all growing up. There was hardly a dull or unemotional moment from the time the play was introduced by a Mute rushing down the aisle and onto the stage, waving sparklers all the while, to the final tender strains of "Try to remember, and if you remember, then follow." Characters And Roles The characters were thoroughly charming, and the actors played their roles convincingly. Maureen Maloney and Richard Lincoln as the Girl and Boy were young, fresh, and innocent at the beginning, and perhaps a little worn once they had gained their knowledge of the world. The Fathers, portrayed by Stephen Everett and Ken Parker, were typical fathers of young people, a bit baffled at times by their offspring, but confident that their way was the right way. Dressed in black, the Narrator, John P. Lagioia, was a believable bandit and well-worn traveler of the world. Also in black was the Mute, played by Anthony Bruno, who filled in capably as the wall, snow, rain, and any other assorted parts which were needed. Particularly striking was the sensitivity of his face, which reflected the emotion of each particular scene.
first appeared as a not - too bright, pot-bellied Indian, who wore long white underwear under his Indian skins. The audience was treated to one of his death scenes. The cast had a remarkable rapport with the audience and communicated beautifully. The audience was receptive to any idea or character put before it. The Music Has Lasted The music has been tried and tested for 12 years, and it was easy to understand why it has lasted. Most of the play was performed musically, and while all of the songs were well received, a few appealed more than the others. "Try to Remember" was perhaps the most famous, and served both to introduce and close the play. The Fathers sang "Never Say No," a treatise on raising children, and the mostly student audience seemed to agree with its principles wholeheartedly. Other songs included "It Depends on What You Pay," "Round and Round," and "They Were You." Jackie Warner, producer of the musical, said that he thought this play would appeal to the students because of the vulnerable young people, the Fathers, and the songs. The cast, he said, had "great communication with the audience," here and at other places. "This is one of the best groups I've ever worked with," he said.
About The Producer Warner, a vibrant and energetic personality, is producer of On the Aisle, Inc., the same company which presented ' Stop the Delightful Surprise World, I Want to Get Off at The two Actors, though seen Longwood last year.

LaDonna Bussard To Present Senior Piano Recital By VICKI BOWLING La Donna Bussard will present her senior piano recital Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Wygal Recital Hall. A music education major from Hot Springs, Va., La Donna is a student of Dr. Robert Blasch. When she graduates in June, she plans to teach music on the ele-
mentary level in either Lynchburg or Roanoke. Included in the program are Fantasy in C minor, by Bach, Sonata in F major, K. 332, by Mozart, Ballade in G minor, by Chopin, La plus que Lente (Waltz), by Debussy, and Six Rumanian Dances, by Bartok.
By KARIN DANIELEY The Longwood Players have begun rehearsals for Euripides' fifth century tragedy, Medea, to be presented May 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Medea, a powerfully passionate play involving moral conflicts, has pertinence for the modern play-goer. The Longwood audience should especially enjoy a play which attacks the attitude that a woman, especially a passionate woman, is inferior and, therefore, does not deserve justice. Mr. Douglas Young is directing a cast of veteran performers. Belinda Brugh will portray the passionate medea, while Robert Macllwaine wiU create the character Jason, Medea's estranged husband. Another leading role, the nurse, will be played by Joyce Saunders. Other characters in the show are Cindy Baughn, Lottie Lawrence, Joanne Noseck, Bridget MacKillop and Janet Baker.

This is a part of a Richmond Artists Association exhibition and will be on display through April 30.
Messian's Organ Recital Premiered In Washington, 0. C. By KAY BIGGS An important musical event took place at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D. C. on March 20. The event was the world premiere of the organ composition "Meditations sur le Mystere de la Sainte Trinite" (Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity) by the French composer and organist, Olivier Messiaen (b. 1908), in his first and only organ recital given in North America. The composition was commissioned in 1969 by the Shrine. Joyce Morene, Carol Rooney, Kay Biggs, and Martha Bowe, aU organ students at Longwood, and Mr. Paul Hesselink, professor of organ at Longwood, attended this historical occasion and were among the audience which represented thirty states, several foreign countries, and the European Press. Messiaen as a composer has been termed "a harmonic colorist probably unequalled among living composers." Bird calls play an important role in his melodic outlines, combined within complex rhythms (based on his thorough studies of Indian music), and a rich harmonic structure. Though melody was "first and foremost" in his earlier works, now he emphasises modal melodic transgressions. He composes to make his music "an iridescent music, one which will delight the auditory senses with delicate, voluptuous pleasures." Messiaen is a religious mystic for whom music is an an act of faith. His music rarely fails to provoke strong reaction. (Continued on Page 4)
On View In Bedford Building By VALERIE BLANKS A sculpture exhibition of Howard Woody, Associate Professor of Art, University of South Carolina, can now be seen on the lawn and in the first floor hallway of Bedford Building. This 22 piece exhibit will remain on view until April 28. The sculpture in this exhibit illustrates the construction and assemblage processes rather than the traditional carved or modeled processes. The various cast bronze, aluminum, fiberglass and polyester resin works are physically created in several ways. The work in this exhibition can be subdivided into three stylistic types: organic, geomet-
ric and environmental. Professor Woody's sculpture has been displayed in 20 states across the country and has exhibited in 45 one-man exhibitions in art museums, galleries, and colleges. His works have been selected and honored in numerous competitive and invitational exhibitions, as well as various traveling exhibitions. Professor Woody was bunding officer and President of the Southern Association of Sculptors, Inc., and has been an active board member of the National Sculpture Center since 19GG. He is also listed in Who's Who in American Art.

Role Of Blaeks Presented By Afro-American Dance Ensemble By JO SMITH The Arthur Hall Afro-American Dance Ensemble presented a fascinating program of cultural and American dances in Jarman on March 21. The color, rhythm and excitement had a spellbinding effect on the audience and created an appreciation for the cultural movements of Africa and the deep significance of each dance. Two outstanding dancers, Melvin Purnell and LaVern McBride, were perhaps the most expressive in their bodies, although all of the dancers were adept at portraying motion, The program consisted of ten
presentations, seven of which were derived from different cultures and two were based on the blacks' role in American history. One number consisted solely of drumming on metallic bells of various sizes. The tones of the bells produced not only rhythm but an exchange of impression... Three of the cultural dances that were especially enthraUing were Harvest, a dance from Guinea, Court Dance of the Royal Watusi, from Rwanda, and Obatala, from Nigeria. Each of these dances thrive on authenticity and true reproduction of the actual (Continued on Page 8)

By LYNNE PIERCE The trend seems to have been over the past few years for the Junior Ring Dance concerts to be an improvement over the preceding one. The concert held last Friday night, which featured Jonathan Edwards, certainly seems to prove this. The concert was held in Jarman before an audience which was nearly at capacity despite a drenching rain which had been falling since that afternoon. Miller and Burton, a duo which featured guitarist Miller as the lead singer and Burton on bass, remarked later that they were surprised at the enthusiasm of the audience considering the weather. Miller And Burton The program was opened by Miller and Burton, whose music is in the same vein as Cat Stev-

standing what they are doing. The second was the lament of a "dirty-old-man" who had waited sixty-four years to start chasing women. The story ended with the man finding that when he found a woman willing to fulfill his desires, his body could not accomplish what his mind thought of. The duo's final number was one written by Leadbelly on the sinking of the Titanic. It tells of Jack Johnson, the first black to win the heavyweight boxing title, being refused passage on the ship. Johnson is quite depressed until he learns that the ship has gone down after striking an iceberg. Johnson is so happy that he goes out and does "all kinds of bad things" to show his joy.

ens, John Denver and the like. They performed for an hour, doing a variety of songs, including the Cat Stevens hits, "Peace Train" and "Fathers and Sons," several songs written by Gove, who visited this campus several weeks ago, and they had the audience join them in singing 'American Pie." Two songs were particularly enjoyed by the audience. The first was an antiwar song aimed at people who stick flag decals everywhere and proclaim themselves patriots and first class citizens without really under -

By LYNNE PIERCE Getting backstage to interview Jonathan Edwards was almost as difficult as the interview itself was later to prove to be. Students and dates milled around behind the curtain adding to the confusion that already existed from the men trying to pack up the equipment. Edwards finally appeared from his dressing room and was immediately seized by a student who identified herself as the one who had been shouting at him during the concert. Edwards' only comment was 'good for you.' They talked together for a few minutes, during which time the girl and her date persuaded him to drink from a gin bottle and a bottle of Schnapps. They explained that they wanted to be able to say "the" Jonathan Edwards had drunk from the bottles. As Edwards moved on to another group of students, his equipment man ushered the staff photographer and me into the dressing room where we came face-to-face with Stuart Schulman, Edwards' bass player, and a huge white dog named Elvin.(Elvin, we later found out, belongs to a young lady traveling with the group and does not like flying.) Strip Artist? Stu was in the middle of a discussion with the photographer on the attributes of various airports around the country when Edwards ("call me Jon') walked in and sat on the table. He looked tall on stage, but sitting down he still towered over me while I stood to introduce myself. His biography says he is 6-foot-3, but when he stood to shake hands, I would have sworn he was at least seven feet. When he found out we wanted pictures, he began to change shirts. Suddenly, he turned to me and said "shoot," meaning ask a question, but the photographer, thinking he meant her, snapped his picture without a shirt on. "That's the kind of

paper you run," he quipped. His Background One of the men in charge of equipment handed me a folder full of reviews, pictures and an autobiography so that we would not have to "waste time" discussing questions about his early career. Jon begins his story with: Someone said they heard of me in Montana. That's great but I haven't been there yet. I was born in Minnesota and that's two Dakotas away. He goes on to say that he was put up for adoption shortly after be was born and lived in Minnesota, until his father moved to Virginia six years later. Jon grew up in Alexandria so that his father could be close to Washington and his job with the FBI. He claims his favorite pastimes were burning down new houses and auditioning for the Icecapades. These quickly led to his enrollment in military school where he formed his first group, The Rivermen. After military school, he went to college for a while in Athens, Ohio, and began singing in earnest. He and his roommate formed a group called St. James Doorknob, eventually quit school, changed their name to Headstone Circus and moved to Boston. After being "discovered" seventeen times, they recorded an album under the name Sugar Creek. After five years with the group, Jon says he was tired of playing music as loud as he could so he quit. Prefers Gospel Rock Jon picked up the interview from this point and explained that he had been a single performer for two years. He felt electric music was not longer "fulfilling" him any more and prefers what he calls gospel rock. He writes (Continued on Page 12)
Washington Concert (Continued from page 3) The work premiered consisted of nine pieces which were musically and theologically analysed in the program notes. In this composition.

Colleges In The News Free Newspaper BLACKS BURG - Student newspapers appear lately to be attracting attention in a good many places. The Virginia General Assembly has before it a proposal statute which would prohibit the use of funds from college student fees for the publication of student newspapers. Some schools have found their own solution to this problem. Virginia Tech's official student newspaper, The Collegiate Times, suddenly has a competitor, also published by students, The University Page and Advertiser. The latter publication is distributed free to students on the campus and in apartment complexes off campus, and is supported entirely by advertising. The difficulties of the Times are complex Its student editors in recent years have tended to quarrel with about everything the University does. This has made the Blacksburg business community unhappy and advertising revenues have fallen off. The results should be interesting. Either the Page will succeed, and win the loyalty of the student community, or the Times will make peace with advertisers, and reassert its role as the basic student newspaper voice. Blacksburg is not large enough to support two student newspapers unless one of them is supported entirely by student fee funds. Black Students Probe CHARLOTTESVILLE - A black student group asked last week that state and federal civil rights officials institute a "formal investigation' into faculty hiring practices at the University of Virginia's law school. The university chapter of the Black American Law Students Association said that despite the efforts of black students and statements of concern by the law school council and faculty, the 44-member faculty has remained "segregated." BALSA says that although black lawyers have sought faculty positions, "such inquiries have been rejected based on reasons which are unclear and which we believe merit independent investigation." To remedy the law school's ,:negligence,'' the association asked that no further appointment be made until black lawyers are admitted to the faculty. Voice In Hiring WILLIAMS BURG - The Board of Student Affairs at William and Mary passed resolutions last week requesting the administration to allow the student body and faculty play a role in the selection of a new basketball coach to replace Warren Mitchell, who was fired last week after six years as head coach, and a new Vice President for Business Affairs. The board states that "students will be working under a coach for several years and should have some voice in his selection. Basketball could be a high revenue sport and if the team and coach were better and attracted more spectators the college could have more revenue.'' Coeducation Rejected LEXINGTON -Students at Washington and Lee University have defeated a resolution urging the university's board of trustees to adopt coeducation at the 223-year-old men's school. By a vote of 535 to 438 in a recent referendum, the students rejected the resolution.

"After that date." she continued, "it will be the responsibility of this office to fill the vacancy.'' No Storage In Rooms She wants to remind students that all belongings must be removed for the summer, even if no room change is involved. "This is for the girls' protection," Dean Nuckols stated. She explained that material left in a room has a greater likelihood of being damaged or stolen. Also, the rooms are cleaned thoroughly during the summer, and belongings left in them can get in the way. Students may store belongings in the main storage room. An instruction sheet involving room draw and room registration, including the new policy, will be distributed this week. They will be available in the head resident's office. Dean Nuckols urges everyone to read this instruction sheet carefully.

These songs set the pat-" tern for the rest of the concert in showing Edwards* versatility in being able to play a guitar, harmonica and sing a song with no apparent difficulty in switching from one to the other. Between songs, Edwards kept up a running banter with the audience, which responded with shouting between and during the songs. He told of staying in the Hotel Weyanoke and becoming hungry. When he opened a drawer, he thought he had found a menu, but it turned out to be the phone book. "You have a lot to eat around here," he commented. Songs From Albums Edwards interspersed his performance with songs from his album, including "Shanty," "Emma" and "Sometimes," and new songs which will appear on his second album One, "HonkyTonk Stardust CowÂťx>y," is the tentative title for the record. During one break, he and Stuart were trying to tune the piano and he remarked, "leave it to a girls' school to have a flat piano." After playing a song about going into a store and seeing himself on sale through his records, Edwards began to pick out "You Are My Sunshine." This naturally led to his first hit, "Sunshine,' which the audience greeted with a roar. After this, he concluded the performance with another song from the album, "Train of Glory."

Visiting Artists And Longwood Professors Discuss The Artist As An Educator By ROBERT H. SELLS Judging from the audience participation and response to the panel discussion featuring visiting poetess Erica Jong and Painter A. B. Jackson Thursday, the second day of the Longwood Festival of the Arts began successfully. Also on the panel were Dr. Alexander Theroux, Professor Allen Wier and Professor Douglas Young. Childrey Farber served as the moderator for the discussion which lasted over an hour. The discussion was begun with a question concerning the artist's involvement in social issues in and through his work. All of the panelists responded to this issue and from there the discussion took a freer and less formal form. Students expressed their opinions and asked questions of the panelists spontaneously. The issue of the artist as educator in the public school system was debated from several angles.
Mr. Jackson, who is Professor of Art at state supported Old Dominion University, said that one of the reasons that he taught was because he thought he could teach art better than some "professional educator". "I practice what I preach," he said. Jackson also said that universities and colleges are the only patrons of the arts to be found in American culture. He said that teaching was the only job that he could maintain that could feed him and yet leave him with time to pursue his painting. Jackson, who earned his B. F. A. and M. F. A. degrees from Yale University and who has taught at Southern University and Norfolk State College prior to coming to Old Dominion, also said that he enjoyed working with college students. Erica Jong, whose first collection of poems has recently been published under the title FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, was asked if she thought that current writers measure up to the old
Writer, David Madden, Hypnotizes Audience With His Storytelling By ROBERT H. SELLS "I sometimes think of myself as the Ancient Mariner wanting to grab my readers by the arm and tell them my stories", said writer David Madden, visiting artist in the Longwood Festival of the Arts. And Thursday night when Mr. Madden began his reading everyone in the room was captured by his ability to tell stories. A Misadventure Story "Did I ever tell you about the time that . . ." Madden began, and for an hour and a half the audience was hypnotized by th. misadventures of three brothers, Cody, Traven, and Hollis. Humor and irony were abundant in the story as Hollis, the narrator, told us of his attempts to prevent his brother Cody from being sentenced to prison for "passin' checks". Hollis is a good con man, but Traven is a better one, as he succeeds in getting the
charges against Cody dropped by committing the same illegal acts charged against Cody. Mr. Madden, The Actor
masters. Agreeing with Dr. Theroux, she said that few popular writers today compare favorably with such masters as Swift or Pope and certainly none compare with Shakespeare or Milton. Miss Jong, along with the other panelists, did say that Vladimir Nabolov was probably the most outstanding writer alive today.

Deans Wilson And Heintz Attend Convention Dealing In Education By VICKI BOWLING Think of a meeting of 1,040 women in an elegant hotel in New York City. Add to this the fact that all of the women are educated and deal in education. The result is the convention of the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors (NAWDC). Deans Ruth Wilson and Mary Heintz attended the national convention of the NAWDC, held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, March 22-26. The NAWDC is a professional organization to which any woman involved in student personnel or guidance may apply for membership, Dean Heintz explained. At the meetings, each member has the opportunity to discuss problems on her school's campus with women from comparable institutions, and to discover how others treat the same problems. In speaking of this year's convention, Dr. Heintz dwelled on several highlights, one of which was the address of Dr. Margaret Mead, noted anthropologist and author. The title of the speech was "The Dangers of Linear Projection," and Dr. Heintz explained that the talk concentrated on the qualifications of people for various types of responsible positions. Dr. Mead outlined dan-

gers involved in selecting an applicant for a position solely on the basis of sex or race. Whether or not a person is qualified for a position must be based on aspects other than sex or race, she emphasized. Dr. Mead is a famous advocate of Women's Liberation. Another key speaker was Rep. Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn, New York, also a Women's Libber. Although Mrs. Chisholm mentioned her feelings on women in responsible positions, Dean Heintz said, she spoke mainly on individual responsibility - the responsibility of citizens to become involved and assume an active part in politics. National representatives of social sororities were present at the convention. Dr. Heintz and Dean Wilson met with the representatives of nine of the 11 sororities at Longwood. Dr. Heintz termed these meetings "very important." Various meetings called "zoom-ins" were held at the convention, covering many aspects of education. Dr. Heintz said that she and Dean Wilson attended one called "Procedural Concerns in Discipline." Here the speaker was Willis E. Schug, assistant dean of Columbia University Law School, who explained the legal aspects of college discipline. Dr. Heintz felt this program would be particularly interesting in the light of recent discussion at Longwood concerning the Judicial Board. One particularly interesting feature of the convention which Dean Heintz mentioned was known as "Convention Without Walls," which afforded the women the opportunity of going out into the New York City area and observing such things as a drug treatment center, an abortion center, and schools representing various types of curriculums. "We heard from other members that these programs were very interesting," Dr. heintz said. She added that this was her first NAWDC convention, while Dean Wilson tries to attend every year. They are both looking forward to next year's convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Few Minor Changes In Registration For Fall Classes By LYNDA VAN HORN Registration for next fall's classes will be held April 25 with a few changes over the last registration. Approximately 1,500 students will be registering on this date as all Block I student teachers will register on April 13. "It should go pretty fast," said Col. Raymond Gilchrist. It was suggested in the open registration meeting held March 21 that the list of waitresses for next year be made more accurate so that only those who will actually be working will be allowed to register early. This year due to the recent budget crisis, Mr. Gary Groneweg in financial aid said that he wiU not be able to have an accurate list of these waitresses until May. Because of this, waitresses will not be able to register early but will register with their respective classes.

Early Registration Those people registered as preprofessionals will be able to register early, however. It was decided at the open meeting that since these students, who are all those in the nursing program, are here only two years, they should be allowed to register ahead of their regular classes. Rising seniors will be the first to register on April 25 and the terminating preprofessionals are scheduled to register next. Students planning to change their majors or make major changes in their programs are urged to do so before registration. The add-drop will last only the first week after registration and this is for those people who encounter significant problems during registration. There will be no add-drop period after that until the first week of classes in the fall. In order to cut down on the number of schedule changes at this time, a fee of five dollars plus two dollars per change will be charged not to exceed $20. The only changes made without charge at this time will include those who fail a course and must repeat it, those who receive a D or an F under a professor and are scheduled for a class under the same professor, those whose schedules are incorrect due to machine error, and those who must change due to a requirement change in their major departments.
Advisory System Coordinator This year in order to help with the advisory procedures, each department has appointed an advisory systems coordinator. These people are assigned to educate prospective advisors as to advising procedures and generally to preside over advising over their majors. Registration will be run on the quartile system again this semester. It will begin at 8 a.m. and runs as follows: (See adjoining chart)

Oance Ensemble (Continued from Page 3) dances as they are performed in their native countries. The movement produced by the dancers cannot be categorized as modern or contemporary because they follow no line of technique or established norms. When I asked Arthur Hall about his techniques, his reply was that each dancer has his own way of moving, so why try to stereotype the movements and have all of his dancers look identical. Other than the instruction of the actual native dances and how they are done, Hall does not teach movement. He expounds on the individuality of each dancer. Arthur Hall's attempt at American style was not without praise, but it seemed anti-climatic in comparison to the energy and exuberance of the native dances. It is unfortunate that there could not have been a lecture to accompany each number because it was a lack of understanding that made "Mourners' Bench" a disappointment. The entire program was on the whole well worth the evening spent in Jar man and will remain a memorable event. Legislative Board will sell cotton candy April 13 and 20 15C and 25?

Wednesday, April 12, 1972 Editor's Note: Dean Wilson's office has had a number of complaints about animals in the dorms lately. She suggests that all students read the following poems. AMHERST COLLEGE CONFRONTATION Wfien Alan D. Maislcn, a sophomore, complained in an unusual way last July to Robert A. Ward, dean of students, he received a reply in kind and both communications vert recorded by the Amhcist Alumni News. MY DEAR DEAN WARD,
Let me invade The quiet of youi summer shade. The warm aromas of the trees, The pine, the spruce, the scented breeze. The taste of julep on your lip As from your ice-cooled glass you sip. To burst the idyll of your rest And bother you with a request.
Demands that I must vent my spleen, So if you might put in a word To B 4 G, our prayers arc heard. But if wc have to keep the mess, I promise to join SDS. Yours sincerely,
Alan D. Maitltn 72 DEAIALAN:
Thank you for your metered missive; Regarding pets we're too permissive. Your letter mo-, ei us yi t once more To face a fact I'd fought before: That now this job of college dcauing Also covers rugs and cleaning.
I realize that I intrude, I realize that I am rude, But, tact and courtesy aside. From certain things one cannot hide And my dilemma's of that kind. It isn't Amherst that I mind, Nor Coolidge, where I shall reside When Ursa's foot turns Autumn's tide. You see, sir, in my new-found room There lurks a harbinger of doom.
I welcome your poetic protest And sec no nc ed for force or contest. Please note, my friend, from my reaction That words, these days, do lead to action The doggerel that wc exchange Will bring removal of that mange.
And just what might this monster be? This Frankenstein, this Si Legree? This 6cnd that terrifies us ail? It is a rug. sir, wall to wall.
I'llask our faithful B&C To check Room 102 and see If they can cleanse all doggy waste And bring that rug up to your taste. I vow to you that by September No trace of dog will you remember.
Oh, not an ugly thing, be sure . . . But not exactly clean and pure. The but inhabitants, you see, Kept dogs. (No special pedigree.) And with most indiscriminate taste They let the beasts command the place. That carpet, once so fresh «nd clear, Now bears the puppies' souvenir A piled carpet may be 6ne fare. But piled with what? One must beware.
From your verse, all grim and pained, I note one lesson you have gained: You see the reason for a rule Which some have said is mean and cruel. Still most will think it "in" and classy For every lad to keep a Lassie.*
So there in Coolidge 102 It lies, all curdled through and through. It puckers with the summer heat And festers under workmen's feet Its stains, like acne, blot its face; Its odor permeates the place. And though we are a tolerant lot My roommates and I just cannot Support that rug all through next term. That lep'rous plain of gust and germ!
The dop have barked, the cats meowed Tomock the ban, "No Pets Allowed." Your generation loud has spoken: What rules exist, they must be broken. So don't bbme us for the mess you knock; Just blame your peers and Doctor Spock. In witness of your great devotion I hereby give you this promotion: Next year you can make the rounds As Warden of the campus hounds. And see what thanks your effort gets. As Assistant Dean in charge of pets. Cordially, Robert A. Ward

Term Papers By Mail Order Are Increasing Condensed From THE CHRONICLE (Duke University) The concept of writing a termpaper is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. A recent outgrowth causing the obsolescence is the increasing number of termpaper services available to the student. The largest of these services, Termpaper's Unlimited, operates on a national scale, employing a staff of professional writers who cater to college students from coast to coast. Any student who is assigned a termpaper need only mail in the specified data (topic, word length, etc.); he is promised a professionally-written document suited to his needs, and he gets it, for a price. The founder and president of this particular organization is a twenty-five-year-old graduate of San Francisco State University named Don Stinnett. Stinnett recalls that in his senior year he had one course where the grade for the entire year was based solely on two termpapers. The monstrous size of the class and the impersonal nature of it all contributed to his feeling that if a university has no more to offer than a diploma, a student is justified in doing as little as possible. Stinnett's theory on education is based on recognition. If the professor fails to recognize the

Board Of Visitors Approves Increase Of $100 In Fees By LYNDA VAN HORN An increase in fees of $100 has been approved by the Board of Visitors for next year due to the state cutback in Longwoodand other schools' funds. Along with the increase in student fees came an announced reduction in expenditures of approximately $150,000. The reduction in expenditures will result in no cut in the actual faculty salaries, but will involve a ten per cent cut in the operational budget of every academic and administrative department. Also, further cuts will result in a decrease in the amount of telephone service, travel time alloted each faculty and staff member, and educational leaves for faculty members. Student services affected most will probably be the laundry and infirmary. There will be no funds available for an on-campus psychiatrist next year, and the possibilities of eliminating more of the services offered by the infirmary are being looked into. Details concerning limiting the
services of the laundry have not been decided upon and will be announced later this spring. How the state cut in funds will affect financial aid has not as yet been fully determined. The amount of actual dollars will be approximately equal to last year's sum, but the demand for more financial aid due to the increase in fees will increase. Dr. Henry I. Willett, Jr., is on a committee looking into the possibility of giving State Teachers' Scholarships only to juniors and seniors. Dr. Willett said he sees the need for such an action but thought a transition period should go into effect for next year. This plan would allow those freshmen who received the scholarship this year to receive the scholarship next year as sophomores. No sophomore would be able to receive the scholarship for the first time, however. Nothing has been decided on this matter yet but Dr. Willett said, "I feel we'll know something before school closing this year."
Two Surveys Show That The Job Outlook For June Graduates Is Better This Year Reprinted From ACP NEWS ROUND-UP Although the job outlook for next June's college graduates is far from bright, two of three national surveys have found it is likely to be better than last year's. The third survey concluded that jobs would be as hard to find as in 1971 - and perhaps even harder. In the largest of the surveys, the College Placement Council has found that 835 employers in business, industry, and government expect to hire five per cent more graduates this year than last. A comparable survey last year showed a 26 per cent decrease in jobs since 1970, making the job market in 1971 the worst in at least two decades. The greatest gains this year, according to the placement council's figures, will be made by PhJ). recipients, who will find job openings have increased by 30 per cent. Holders of bachelor's degrees will find nine per cent more openings, but those with master's degrees will find the number of jobs down five per cent. Comparable developments have been indicated in a survey by Frank S. Endicott, placement director at Northwestern University. Reports from 160 large and medium-sized corporations show they expect to hire 11 per cent

By BECKY NICHOLSON Legislative Board members passed the Residence Board proposal to change the procedure of room assignments at their meeting last week. According to the new procedure if roommates want to remain in their present room next year, they may sign up for it again. Those people that want to change rooms will draw numbers and go through the same procedure as last year. This new method will not affect rising sophomores or those students in Stubbs, which is already filled for next year. Dean Nuckols and Terry Jones, Chairman of Residence Board, were persent at the meeting to explain the new method and to answer questions from Legislative Board members. The Legislative Board also agreed last week to donate ten dollars to aid in initiating their project concerning the Meherrin Day Care Center. The Board is trying to raise enough money to buy a swing set for the Meherrin Center. Cotton candy sales were scheduled for April 6, 13, and 20 in order to raise funds for this project. Dating in motels was also discussed again. Previously, students could not stay overnight in hotels if they were within a 15mile radius of Farmville. The Board abolished this handbook rule since the hotels have their individual policies, and they don't usually report students, anyway. The Board talked about the possibility of a secondhand bookstore. Tim Brown said that the YWCA room would be available, but Board members are checking on the sales tax concerning this project. The Board also announced that library hours will be extended during exams this year. Library officials said that it was only a matter of finding girls who would stay during the extra hours.

Students Eligible For Financial Aid Increases In Fall By LYNDA VAN HORN The Academic Policies Comlittee approved two changes in heir meeting of April 6 conlerning the academic affairs for |ext school year. They approved a proposal made |y the Committee on Scholarships |nd Financial Assistance. The [roposal stated that any student Lot on academic probation would be eligible for financial assistance. This does not include the ptate Teacher's Scholarship or iny program with a required jrade point average. Currently the requirement for financial assistance is a 2.0 cululative average. "This has caused some complications with freshmen who are in good standling with the college at the end of le first semester if they have 1.60 average at the end of the [first semester and a 1.80 at the lend of the second semester," I said Dean Herbert Black well. The Committee also approved la change in the number of hours a student can take when taking block classes. Some studentsare now taking 18 hours including one block course. It was decided by the committee that this load was too heavy. Next year a student not student teaching who signs up for a three hour block course will only be able to take a total of 15 hours.
Term Papers (Continued from page 9) what he's doing. Termpapers, Inc., is something which Stinnett believes in. According to the self-assured owner, it satisfies a need which exists exclusive of moral judgments, and it is definitely a money maker. When asked how he feels about cashing in on other people's weaknesses, Stinnett replies, "I can't tell anyone whether it's right or wrong. I just know what goes on. It's that simple."

New Program For Teacher Evaluation Developed By ETS A new program that allows students to evaluate the performance of their teachers has been developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS). Besides allowing students a chance to express their views anonymously about courses and teachers, it also gives instructors an objective way to monitor their own performance and progress. Called the Student Instructional Report (SIR), the program isan effort to improve instruction based on responses to an ETS-designed questionnaire supplied to students by the colleges themselves. The questionnaire was developed by ETS researchers with the aid of college faculty members and students. It is composed of questions about specific teaching practices and more general topics including such queries as: - Did the instructor encourage students to think for themselves? - Were the course objectives made clear? — How much effort did students put into the course? — Were students informed of how they would be evaluated? The ETS questionnaire also
includes questions about a student's reasons for taking the course and the grade he expects to receive. In addition, an instructor is free to include questions of his own to learn more about factors unique to his particular class. The questionnaire results are reported for each class as a group, not for individual students. Student evaluation of teachers is not a new concept. The procedure has been used for some time at various institutions, but ETS says SIR should provide an instructor with information to compare his performance with others in his discipline on a national scale. The program is available to institutions throughout the United States and Canada. More information about SIR may be obtained by contacting: Institutional Research Program for Higher Education, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Initiated by ETS in 1965, the Institutional Research Program provides colleges and universities with a variety of methods to use in evaluation and self-study programs.
Elegance In Gowns, Fun In Casual Clothes Shown In Fashions By PAM WATSON Elegance remained the theme, from the casual pant suits to the sophisticated wedding gowns, throughout the Bridal Fashion Show held Thursday night, March 23 in Jarman Auditorium. The show was sponsored by the Student Union in cooperation with Miller and Rhoads in Richmond who furnished the outfits for the seventy piece show. Longwood
students who modeled included: Cindy Bradley, Kathy Boatwright, Dragon Chandler, Sandy Cordle, Charlotte Fugett, Janet Howard, and Debbie Hyatt. Also modeling were Paula Loth, Becky Moreland, Dana Newcomb, Sarah Smithey,SusanSmithey, Mrs. Mary Murphy, and Mrs. Mary Willett. Popular medleys as well as wedding music was provided by Mary Sue Clayton on the organ and quickly set the mood for the variety of outfits. Fashions included sports attire, going-away outfits, lingerie, bridesmaid and mother-of-thebride dresses,, and wedding gowns. Romantic, old-fashioned styles are most popular this spring. The newest trend in wedding dresses is the old-fashioned Victorian style complete with a high neck, tightly fitted bodice, straight skirt, and accented with a large wide-brimmed hat. When compared to the more traditional gowns in the show, this style was most feminine and flattering for the young college-aged girl. The latest in casual tops as well as formal wear is the no-back halter top. The fashions chosen were most appropriate for the young set and the show proved to be most enjoyable.

Radio Station At H-SC Nears Completion By JOHN D. GUTHRIE Hampden-Sydney Correspondent The Hampden-Sydney community will soon have its first radio station. Present hopes are that the station WHSV will begin transmitting at 91.7 megahertz on the FM dial in September. The construction of the studio by students on the third floor of Winston Hall on campus has been completed except for the installation of equipment. As soon as the students receive the license to operate this noncommercial education radio station from the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, the equipment will be installed and the station will start broadcasting. In an interview with the Chairman of Board of Directors of the radio station concerning the broadcasting range of the station, Fletcher Fosque said, "Because of the installation of a Stereo Modulator and the surrounding terrain it is doubtful if our signal will reach Longwood consistently. He continued in saying, "We are hoping to overcome this problem in the future with more power or a higher antenna." Fletcher Fosque also said that he encouraged Longwood students who were interested in any aspect of radio broadcasting to contact one of the following members of the board of directors in their respective fields: Pat CrawfordGeneral Manager 223-8248; Tom Lumpkin - Public Relations and News 223-8248; Kipper Nottingham - Business Manager 2238405; Skip Ravenhorst - Programming 223-8192, Fletcher Fosque - Chairman and Engineering 223-4494.
By LYNDA VAN HORN The Richmond Chapter of the Longwood College Alumnae Association will sponsor the movie "Nicholas and Alexandra" to be presented May 4 at the Westhampton Theater in Richmond. The proceeds will go toward a scholarship to be given to a student to attend Longwood. Dr. Henry Willett and Mr. George Bristol will attend and anyone interested should contact Mrs. Julie Moseley at 272-3640, or Mrs. Shirley Patteson at 2885710. The price for tickets is $3.50 and Dr. Willett urges all students from Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield to contact their parents about the movie.
Jackson (Continued from Page 6) that it is very hard to decide when a painting is finished. One of his problems recently is that his paintings are getting more like drawings and vice versa. This is awkward because in competition Mr. Jackson is required to label his work. In fact, once he won a prize in drawing for one of his paintings. When asked if he used models, Mr. Jackson replied that models limited him. He uses composites of people he lias known as faces in his paintings. Several of his works which the audience viewed on slides included "Dust Beach," "Homage To The Nose", and his "Veronica's Veil Series." Mr. Jackson is very interested in light and shadows in his works, and he often hides the eyes in his painting which give them a mysterious effect. He also enjoys the challenge of capturing the strength and sensitivity in the head of Christ. In all of his paintings a single stroke can ruin it or make it a success. Mr. Jackson believes that this is intuitive, but that it can be developed over a period of time.

Performers Discuss Their Music (Continued from Page 4) most of his own music and is very turned on by the fact that people will come to listen to him. When asked why he thought single performers like Cat Stevens, John Denver, James Taylor and himself are enjoying great popularity right now, he had a quick answer. "People are listening more. They're listening to the words and realizing they'd rather see the tunes performed by the guy who wrote them," he said. We talked a little about the audience and I asked Jon if he minded people yelling at him during the performance. He smirked and said this group had been a lot tamer than some he had been in front of. He added that people may as well act like that and enjoy the concert. If people are going to detach themselves from the music and mood of the concert, he feels they might as well stay home. Future Plans From Longwood, Edwards was to go to New York for a concert
at Lincoln Center and one at New York City College. He plans another album for late spring, tentatively titled "Honky TonkStardust Cowboy." The final question was if Jon played concerts at many girls' schools. He cut his eyes at Stu and said with a grin, "That's all I'm doing from now on." New Duo "I was surprised at the audience. They were ready to go when we walked out. They really made the concert." I had run into Miller and Burton after leaving Jonathan Edwards and was talking to Burton. (Miller is the lead singer with the non-electric guitar.) He told me that the duo had known each other for some time and played in three groups together. About six months ago, they evolved into their present act.
have developed a strong dislike for electric music and feel the meaning of the song is more important than making a lot of noise. Burton listed Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, and Cat Stevens as having the greatest influence on their music. Several students had mentioned that the duo had done several of the same songs thatGove had performed in his concert here. Miller was excited that Longwood had had a chance to hear him. He said they knew Gove and liked to perform his songs. After leaving Longwood, Miller and Burton were headed back to Atlanta, Georgia, where they are based. They hope to get a recording contract, but said they realize they have to get more people talking about them before that happens.

Three? Two? One? None? There's no right answer. It depends on how many children they really want. How many children they feel they're ready for— emotionally, and not just financially. And when they feel they're ready for them. (It could depend too on their concern for the effect population growth can have on society.) The important thing is that the question of how many children is asked. Because asking leads to thinking. And thinking leads to planning.
